Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 870 The Collapse of Emperor Hirohito

After Liu Tiehan's East Point troops, following the orders of division commander Tang Qiuli, effortlessly occupied Fengtian, the largest city in Northeast China, it was surprising that General Kenkichi Ueda, the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army, had no intention of returning to rescue Fengtian.

Tang Qiuli, who planned this battle, was a little surprised.

After communicating with Liu Tiehan, who was commanding the troops on the front line, through telegrams, the two reached an agreement, that is, before the Japanese were hurt, Ueda Kenkichi could make a desperate gamble. Japanese Emperor Hirohito probably did not want this situation to occur.

After the Battle of Fengtian, Tang Qiuli took the initiative and ordered Liu Tiehan to mobilize eight brigades of second-line troops, totaling 210,000 troops, to carry out the next stage of the campaign and launch a fierce attack on the Liaodong Peninsula.

It took more than a day to completely separate the Liaodong Peninsula from the Northeast. This hit the Japanese at a critical point.

Emperor Hirohito was furious in the palace. He had received a telegram from Isamu Ono presented by the general staff of the base camp. Then, he received a report that the Liaodong Peninsula was being attacked by the Chinese army. His mood was extremely bad.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity for Nagano Shuzo to negotiate with Tang Qiuli and pay the minimum price to buy enough time for Ueda Kenkichi to annihilate Timoshenko's troops. As long as he could capture the Far East of the Soviet Union, Hirohito would still have this little thing.

I won't feel bad, but before Nagano Xiu and the others came back, Tang Qiuli started to take action.

Moreover, the attack was swift and powerful, and Fengtian was captured without any effort. Then, there was an attack on the Liaodong Peninsula. The development of the situation has exceeded Hirohito's expectations. He didn't want to do this, but there was no way. The Kwantung Army could defeat the troops.

, were all transferred to the Far East to fight to the death with the Soviets.

With the garrison troops left in Manchuria, which could barely be regarded as second-rate troops, Hirohito did not believe that they could withstand the fierce attack of Tang Qiuli's more than 200,000 troops. The Liaodong Peninsula was lost in the blink of an eye.

It was his lifeblood. Not to mention the rich resources in the Liaodong Peninsula, the military port of Lushun was also a loss that the Japanese could not bear.

In Hirohito's Manchurian strategy, Fengtian was more important than Xinjing. Xinjing only housed a nominal Kant emperor. It was just a sign and was needed by the Japanese Empire. As long as Hirohito was not happy, he could always let it cover him.

The Emperor of Manchukuo, under his own wing, moved away.

But Fengtian is different. It is the economic, cultural, and political center of Manchuria, and the Liaodong Peninsula is more important than Fengtian. Without the Liaodong Peninsula and the western Liaoning, nearly one-fifth of Manchuria's land is occupied by the China devil Tang Qiuli.

, and the Lushun Military Port, and we still don’t know the next move of that China devil Tang Qiuli.

If he took the opportunity to capture the entire Manchuria, Hirohito didn't know how to deal with it. It was too late to mobilize troops from the mainland. According to the intelligence from the military intelligence bureau of the base camp, Tang Qiuli transferred a main field corps to Shanhaiguan to garrison.

Is this China devil going to fight in Manchuria, or is it going to maintain a certain level of military pressure?

Hirohito could not judge all this, but he knew a serious fact. At least within a week, the Kwantung Army troops staying in Manchuria would not be able to stop the attack of Tang Qiuli's troops. Within a week, according to Tang Qiuli's

Where can the army's combat effectiveness reach?

Even if Ueda Kenkichi wiped out Timoshenko's troops and occupied the Far East, what's the point of gaining the Far East if Manchuria was lost? The Kwantung Army fought bloody battles with the Soviet army for nearly three weeks, and it was a tired army.

Can they fight against Tang Qiuli's troops? If the Soviet reinforcements arrive, they will never miss this perfect opportunity to regain the Far East.

As the supreme commander of the Japanese army, Hirohito knew that with the current strength of the Kwantung Army, it could only choose to fight the Soviets or Tang Qiuli. The Kwantung Army did not have such a big capital to fight on both sides unless the entire empire's military power was invested.

Manchuria, but the empire's interests are not just Manchuria, but also the large territory of China, the fertile land of Southeast Asia, and the traditional British and American forces in Southeast Asia.

Hirohito carefully filtered these things in his mind several times. He felt more and more that the situation was dangerous and that there was no good countermeasure. All of this combined made Hirohito feel more and more irritable. Originally, it was about to end.

In the Far East Battle, the Japanese Empire was already sure of victory, but at this critical moment, Tang Qiuli stabbed him in the back.

This is definitely a fatal blow that can cause the empire's total failure in Manchuria. Manchuria, which has been managed for decades, is definitely more important than the Far East of the Soviet Union in Hirohito's mind. That Nagano Shuzo went there with conditions, why didn't he delay?

Live in Tang Qiuli?

"This abominable China devil, Hirohito's sworn enemy, will chop off your head sooner or later," Hirohito's eyes flashed with coldness, and he almost squeezed out these vicious curses through his teeth. At this time

Hirohito is almost like a street gangster who cannot beat a master. He can only use vicious words to vent his helplessness and powerlessness.

"Your Majesty, the affairs officer Nagano Shuzo is asking for an audience outside the palace." The palace guard came in at an untimely time to report. When Hirohito heard this, the anger in his stomach could no longer be suppressed. This fool, I have already agreed to the conditions of that Chinese devil. As long as you

Detaining him for a few days and not even being able to handle this matter is a waste.

"Let him in, I have something to ask him," Hirohito said in a conspiratorial tone. After a while, Nagano Shuzo came in timidly. Looking at his appearance, Hirohito's anger became even greater, burning his internal organs.

They were all restless, their eyes were red, and the smell of gunpowder could be smelled from afar.

Nagano Shuzo was also uneasy when he came back from Chongqing. He knew that he had failed in his job. Not only did he save a lot of money, but he also incurred an additional debt of 5,000 kilograms of gold. Tang Qiuli, the German Ambassador to China in Chongqing

Nagano Shuzo didn't quite believe the harsh words that the government had put down to him. It was just a threat. He had always been superstitious about the power of the Japanese Empire. He had managed Manchuria for decades. Could it be that you, Tang Qiuli, were the ones to fight at your word?

But as soon as he returned to China, he heard the news about the fall of Fengtian and the attack on the Liaodong Peninsula. Nagano Shuzo was completely confused. Not only did the matter go wrong, but he also caused a big disaster. The five thousand kilograms of gold.

In the face of the value of Fengtian and the Liaodong Peninsula, it can be said to be worthless. Tang Qiuli was just looking for an excuse to start a war.

Thinking of this, Nagano Shuzo, who originally thought that a disaster was imminent, felt confident. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to face this somewhat nervous Majesty in the palace. To be honest, few senior officials in Japan like to interact with him.

The main reason I dealt with Emperor Hirohito was that I couldn't stand his style.

But there was no way around it. He was the big boss and there was no way around it. When Nagano Shuzo saw Emperor Hirohito from a distance, he could smell the smell of gunpowder from His Majesty's body. He who had some confidence at first couldn't help but panic. I don't know.

Unconsciously, there were beads of sweat on my forehead.

By the time Shuzo Nagano stammered through the entire negotiation process, and before he dared to talk about the five thousand kilograms of gold, the black lines on Emperor Hirohito's face had already popped up, and he was about to burst into tears. Why did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs send such a stupid and stupid person?

Pig guy, go negotiate with that China devil?

In the entire Far East, compared to the three thousand sets of oil extraction equipment and machine tools, which one is more valuable, even a person with a kindergarten level can calculate it, but this guy's head was kicked by a donkey. He thought he was a shrewd little abacus.

, but it ruined my major event and caused today's irreversible situation.

Hirohito stared at his blood-red eyes and looked at Nagano Shuzo. He wished he could kick this pig-like guy to death. He was so angry that he could not speak. If that Chinese devil was so easy to talk to, the empire would not have a series of attacks on him.

You've suffered a big loss. If you use such a little trick to deal with Tang Qiuli, who has a notorious reputation, aren't you asking for trouble?

Hirohito was not even in the mood to talk nonsense with Nagano Shuzo, but Nagano Shuzo didn't know the point yet, so he continued: "Your Majesty, I thought that Tang Qiuli took the opportunity to ask for the empire's equipment, which was just an excuse. No matter whether the empire gave it or not, he would

Send troops, and he

He also made a shameless request to add 5,000 kilograms of gold to the original conditions. Of course I would not agree. This is naked blackmail. The empire cannot yield to the pressure of this Chinese devil. I refused on the spot. This is negotiation.

The whole process.”

Hirohito just took a breath and looked at the righteous Nagano Shuzo in disbelief, and asked: "What? Five thousand kilograms of gold, is this true? Is it his additional condition?" Nagano Shuzo nodded angrily,

With a "plop", Hirohito simply fainted.

Where is Shusan Nagano? He didn't know that he had such great power. He had knocked out the half-god and half-human Emperor. There was a chaos in the palace. The attendants and maids hurriedly called for the imperial doctor.

He pinched people and pulled his ears, and finally woke up Hirohito. "Ouch," His Majesty the Emperor exhaled a long breath, and his body was as soft as noodles.

His weak eyes turned around a few times, and when he saw Nagano Shuzo who was still confused, he suddenly stood up, his lips trembling, his fingers trembling and he gave the order: "Lock this idiot to me."

In prison, he should have committed suicide by caesarean section to apologize for his crime. No, he should have been executed late, and it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart."

The guards came up and dragged Nagano Shuzo out, who was still thinking blankly. At this time, Nagano Shuzo realized that his head was in danger this time. He was an imperial envoy and defeated the blackmail of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli.

, not only did you get no credit, but you also put your life on the line. Even if you are the emperor, you can't be unreasonable, right?

So, Nagano Shuzo shouted desperately: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am dedicated to safeguarding the interests of the Empire of Japan. Your Majesty treats me like this. I will not accept it. I will not accept it." Hirohito waved his hand feebly, and his shouting to Nagano Shuzo was completely inconceivable.

Not interested in listening.

He was thinking that when he met Tang Qiuli, known as the Devil of China, such an extremely difficult character, he could not avoid this huge sum of money no matter what, and he was afraid there would be more.
