Age of Conquest Reborn

The German Ambassador to China, Taudemann, was very efficient in his work. After receiving Tang Qiuli's telegram, he immediately contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Japanese government and forwarded the original text of the telegram without changing it. Taudemann

For many years in China, he did not dare to take anything lightly when dealing with Tang Qiuli. But he knew that Vice Chairman Tang was not a person he wanted to deal with!

Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshihiko Noda did not dare to neglect. The issue involving more than 50,000 Japanese wounded soldiers was a big deal. He rushed to the palace by car to report. At this time, many newspapers and radio broadcasts had already mentioned the commander of the Independent Division.

The news that Tang Qiuli publicly expressed his willingness to return more than 50,000 wounded soldiers of Japan's Far East Expeditionary Force was widely reported and known to the whole world. Japan's domestic news censorship agencies could not stop it at all.

As a result, Emperor Hirohito was once again so angry that his head hurt. Dragging his still-unhealed illness, he had to hold an imperial meeting in the palace to study how to respond. The matter concerned the wounded soldiers of the Far East Expeditionary Force. Originally,

Prince Jae-in, who did not want to appear in public and was afraid of being embarrassed, was ordered by his elder brother to participate.

In addition to the military bosses from the base camp, the imperial meeting was attended by bosses from other departments of the Japanese government. It was considered the highest-level military and political meeting in Japan. Prince Zai Ren, who had already taken off the gauze on his head, also appeared in the meeting.

Among the people attending the meeting, they were just very low-key, hiding in an inconspicuous corner, and keeping their heads lowered as much as possible, as if they were afraid of being recognized?

Speaking of which, Prince Zaihi's life has been very difficult recently. After being recalled to Tokyo by his brother, the emperor, he was scolded by the furious Emperor Hirohito. He would have been slapped with a big mouth. If

If she was not born of a mother, Emperor Hirohito would definitely give his old mother a warm greeting.

After scolding his unsatisfactory brother, Emperor Hirohito gave Zai Ren a new position, base camp counselor, an absolute idle job, a bench-warming official title. The so-called counselor is in the nature of a consulting organization, and others do not consult.

.If you have nothing to do, you can’t lick your face and take the initiative to come to your door and ask people if they want me to give you advice?

Moreover, military issues were not allowed to be involved. Prince Zai Ren, who was accustomed to holding military power, was of course very dissatisfied with his elder brother's arrangement, so he argued a few words, "Brother, it's not fair! Although I was defeated miserably in the Far East,

However, we still brought back 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers, which is much better than the ending of the entire Kwantung Army being shattered. Wouldn’t the counselor who had done nothing wrong just let me sit on the bench?”

As a result, I was scolded by my brother again, with spittle spraying all over his face. Then, with a tone of hatred that could not change the iron, he told Zai Ren, "You should just light it up first. Regarding the failure of the Far East Expeditionary Force, many people

Demanding accountability, if not for the old

Brother, how can you still bargain with me here? Are you a pig? When you are sensitive, can you be assigned an important position? Listen to me, wait until you are out of the limelight. You are my biological brother.

Is there no chance to lead troops?"

Zai Ren was not a fool. He knew that he was not up to par and had been beaten all over the place by the independent division. Emperor Hirohito lectured him hard and softly, so he reluctantly accepted the job. However, he had no shame.

The base camp was wandering around, so he just excused himself to recuperate and hid at home. He stayed at home all day long and didn't dare to see anyone. If the emperor hadn't ordered him to attend this imperial meeting, he would never have come to embarrass himself.

Huddled in an inconspicuous corner, Zai Ren looked around secretly, and at a glance he saw the good-looking Minai Koichi, and a large group of civil servants and military generals gathered around him to show their hospitality. He gritted his teeth with hatred, he was so unlucky that he was so unlucky.

This old guy Koichi Mineuchi took a big advantage. The word "agent" was finally removed from the head of the acting chief of general staff of the base camp, and he officially assumed the position of chief of general staff. In other words, he seized his own position.

Prince Zai Ren was gnashing his teeth when he saw the sallow-faced, sickly Emperor, walking into the conference room surrounded by a group of attendants. He felt guilty for no reason in his heart, and began to sympathize with his Emperor.

I sighed in my heart: "It's not easy for him either!"

It was indeed not easy. Emperor Hirohito convened this imperial meeting with a burning feeling in his heart. His unsatisfactory brother left more than 80,000 wounded soldiers in Magadan in the Far East, and more than 30,000 people died.

After this incident was greatly exaggerated by newspapers and radio stations, it aroused strong dissatisfaction among the domestic people, and the calls for punishing Zai Ren became louder and louder. Every time he thought of it, Hirohito wanted to slap Zai Ren all over his face!

It’s no wonder that Emperor Hirohito was so angry that his liver ached. These reports were so true. There were photos of the wounded soldiers themselves, handwritten letters, and personal accounts of how his unsatisfactory younger brother had ruthlessly abandoned them. The newspaper reports were full of pictures and texts.

, there are endless articles and a large number of facts that cannot be denied.

Speaking of which, the fact that the Japanese army could abandon wounded soldiers was a hot topic. Everyone knew that it was the idea of ​​Lieutenant Colonel Mei Xue, the director of the Information Department of the Independent Division. This girl has been with Tang Qiuli for a long time, maybe

After convening a press conference, he immediately contacted Liu Tiehan, the deputy division commander in Magadan, and proposed that he would personally lead a press team to Magadan for on-the-spot interviews.

After sending the telegram to Liu Tiehan, Mei Xue worked non-stop and contacted the aviation commanders Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin, requesting the aviation force to send a transport plane capable of transporting more than a thousand reporters at once. Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin naturally did not refuse.

Reason, express strong support, how many transport planes are needed to meet the supply, and fighter jets will be dispatched to escort!

Liu Tiehan, who received the telegram, burst out laughing and said a very classic saying to Zhao Yuhe, "You can follow someone, learn from someone!" His tone was very admiring, so the Magadan Field Airport that had just been received passed by.

After simple emergency repairs, one after another transport planes arrived. From the transport planes, a large number of reporters got off, taking photos, conducting on-site interviews, and conducting personal interviews. They were very busy and wrote reports with pictures and texts.

Freshly baked!

In addition to the embarrassing thing, what is even more irritating is that the remaining more than 50,000 wounded soldiers have become the damn China devil Tang Qiuli's bargaining chip in negotiations with the empire. Moreover, under the pressure of public opinion, he does not want to talk about it.

No, of course, external public opinion and attitudes would not be favorable to Hirohito, who insisted on going his own way.

To the emperor, it's nothing. The Japanese Empire never looked at other people's faces when it acted. When it launched the war against China, it wasn't against the pressure of the British and American powers to attack the Chinese people. However, China had a problem.

It was a freak like Tang Qiuli who led to today's passive situation.

What Emperor Hirohito cares about is the public opinion and attitude of the domestic people. This is the fundamental issue. Hirohito's abandonment of the wounded soldiers made people angry. If he had not negotiated with Tang Qiuli, the more than 50,000 wounded soldiers would have been killed.

Taking him back to his homeland, wouldn't it chill the ordinary people who have finally been deceived by him and become confused. Who will work for him in the future?

It is imperative to take back the more than 50,000 wounded soldiers. The key is that Emperor Hirohito is a coward. It is definitely uncomfortable to be led by that China devil Tang Qiuli. Moreover, based on Hirohito’s understanding of Tang Qiuli

, this person is by no means a kind person. He can have such good intentions and return wounded soldiers, why should he consider it from a humanitarian point of view, bah! Who are you kidding? At least, the so-called humanitarianism is nothing in Hirohito's heart!

Therefore, by instinct, Emperor Hirohito knew that there must be a ghost here and it was Tang Qiuli's conspiracy. The key was that he had to talk even though he knew there was a ghost. Therefore, Hirohito, who was in an extremely bad mood, came to the conference room.

After that, he was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly

: "That Tang Qiuli sent a telegram through the German Ambassador to China Todmann, asking us to take back the more than 50,000 wounded imperial soldiers stranded in Magadan, and to send special personnel to negotiate on relevant matters.

My dear friends, who is the right person to send?"

Everyone was speechless. The Japanese military and political leaders who attended the meeting knew even better than Emperor Hirohito that the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli would never have such good intentions. Maybe some people would believe it when he said that roosters lay eggs, but

It is said that Tang Qiuli took the initiative to return more than 50,000 wounded soldiers of the empire out of humanitarian considerations and in accordance with the relevant provisions of international conventions. No one would believe such a ridiculous statement.

Therefore, before the meeting, both the military and political officials agreed that this was Tang Qiuli's conspiracy, a naked conspiracy, negotiations? When it comes to negotiations, these military and political officials are the darlings of

Just shudder, the Empire of Japan and Tang Qiuli have had countless negotiations, starting from the North China Incident, for nearly ten years. In every negotiation, the empire paid a heavy price!

Unless Tang Qiuli, the abominable Chinese devil, chopped off a bloody chunk of bones and flesh, he would be a mixture of villain and devil. As expected, the empire would definitely pay for this negotiation.

A heavy price, but what the price is, so far, it is impossible to guess!

It is absolutely impossible not to negotiate. All public opinions have pushed the empire to the forefront, especially the domestic relatives of the wounded soldiers. They are all looking forward to taking back the wounded soldiers. Refusing to negotiate is tantamount to detonating

Powder keg, who will work for the empire’s overseas hegemony in the future?

But negotiation means that the empire has to pay a price. Therefore, all the officials have tacitly kept silent. They know that it is a thankless job. Who is willing to take this hard job and achieve success?

No, he is not human inside or out!

Emperor Hirohito, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, glanced around with gloomy eyes. The thoughts of the officials could not escape his piercing eyes. He couldn't help but get angry and said sternly: "What? No one dares to take responsibility.

Do you want me to go in person for this important negotiation task?"
