At 8:30 am on October 10, the Tokyo Army Province received a telegram from the North Korean Army Command, saying, "I lost contact with the two divisions and the liaison is being resumed urgently."

Army Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka was no longer surprised. He took the car and went straight to the prime minister's office, and under the guidance of the secretary, he arrived at the prime minister's office. After the secretary withdrew, he carefully closed the door. Prime Minister Tomosaburo Kato looked tired.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Tanaka, I wonder how the Army Department explains to the people?"

Tanaka Yoshiki had already considered who should be responsible, "The Chief of Staff resigned. The commander of the North Korean Army Command will be assigned to the reserve service, the school officials will be demoted to two levels, and they will go to the front line to fight. The head of the Intelligence Section and the China Office

The head of the department will be handed over to the Military Law Department for trial, and the deputy chief of the Intelligence Department and the staff of the Chinese Department will be demoted and will go to the front line to fight."

After hearing Tanaka Yoshiichi said that, Prime Minister and Navy Minister Tomosaburo Kato did not answer immediately. He was silent for a while before saying, "I understand."

A stone fell to the ground in Tanaka Yoshiichi's heart. He had prepared a more severe punishment plan, but since Prime Minister Tomosaburo Kato did not take any action, he naturally did not need to continue to propose it. With a little gratitude, Tanaka Yoshiichi said to Tomosaburo Kato: "Thank you. The Army is

Complete the counterattack plan as soon as possible and eliminate the He Rui regime."

When Kato Tomosaburo heard this, he replied coldly: "I hope Tanaka can explain to the people of the empire as soon as possible. For decades, the empire has never suffered such a great defeat. Once the news comes out, the people will inevitably be excited. The members of the parliament

It will make you noise."

Tanaka Yoshiichi responded: "The Army will do its best and hope that you can assist the Army in responding."

Tomosaburo Kato has no good impression of parliament, and the army and the navy are consistent in dealing with public opinion.

After talking about these things that must be handled, the two of them did not talk further, but stood up and went to the palace. Soon, the imperial meeting in the palace was held.

Japan's imperial meeting was different from that of the imperial meetings attended by the emperor in China. Since the establishment of the shogunate system, the royal family has been in charge of the ministers and the government affairs are under the responsibility of the general. Although the Tokugawa shogunate is "returned to the major affairs", the government affairs have been actually returned to the central government and the royal family.

Although the voice has increased greatly, it is not the system of monarchy supremacy in Chinese dynasties.

So the cabinet held a meeting in the palace, which was the "Imperial Front Meeting". Now the Crown Prince Hirohito is regent, and he attended the Imperial Front Meeting on behalf of Emperor Taisho. According to the system, the Crown Prince Hirohito was just listening at the Imperial Front Meeting. He neither made decisions nor participated in it.

discuss.

Currently, there are five Japanese cabinet ministers, namely the Prime Minister (Prime Minister), the Navy Minister (Major), the Army Minister (Major), the Foreign Minister (Foreign Minister), and the Minister of the Ministry of Finance (Major). Each department

It is managed by various ministers.

Before the meeting began, the ministers saluted the crown prince, and the crown prince Hirohito just nodded and said nothing according to the rules. The meeting officially began.

Prime Minister, that is, Prime Minister Tomosaburo Kato, first asked the Minister of the Army and the Provincial Government about the development of the war. Tanaka Yoshihiro did not hide the latest war situation at all, especially made very objective and reasonable speculations on the fate of the troops stationed in North Korea.

Next, Yoichi Tanaka talked about the punishment plan. Since the Navy Minister is the Prime Minister, neither the Minister of Foreign Affairs nor the Minister of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of Education of the

But how to deal with the war.

After talking about the punishment plan, Tanaka Yoshiichi continued: "In this situation, the war with the Northeast government needs to be promoted to a national war. The Great Japanese Empire will recover the entire territory of North Korea as soon as possible, and enter the Manchuria-Mongolia region, completely eliminate the Northeast government, and then completely occupy it.

Manchuria. I wonder what advice do you have on this?"

Minister of Foreign Affairs Yasuzo Uchida immediately expressed his opinion, "The eradication of the Northeast government can be understood by various countries. However, the occupation of Manchuria and Mongolia is different from the Washington Conference, and cannot be recognized by various countries."

Tanaka Yoshiichi responded: "Then support a regime controlled by the empire, but the Northeast regime must be completely eliminated no matter what."

Now all the ministers have no objection. The Northeast government did such a thing against the Great Japanese Empire, and there is no reason to allow the Northeast regime to continue to exist.

Prime Minister Tomosaburo Kato agreed with the policy of the Ministry of Army and turned to the Foreign Minister, "What suggestions and requirements do Your Excellency Uchida have in communication with foreign countries?"

Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida immediately replied: "Your Excellency, the Northeast government is just a local government, and the empire cannot declare war on it. It is impossible to declare war on the Chinese government. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently contacting various countries and trying to gain the understanding and support of various countries.

.In the latest personnel changes of the Beiyang government, Zhang Xiluan became the chief of the Army. In his new statement, he mentioned that the current government of the Republic of China should ensure smooth transportation and commerce. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that this is what the Republic of China government expressed to He Rui.

bona fide."

The other ministers did not speak out, but they also understood the meaning of the Foreign Minister. The Northeast government is now fighting independently of Japan. The large amount of materials and funds they need, which naturally have to be obtained through trade with the Guanzhong.

In his new speech, the Chief of the Army emphasized that the "smooth transportation and commerce" naturally means that it will never interrupt trade with the Northeast.

But no one raised a suggestion to ask the Beiyang government to clarify this issue. Because the Beiyang government can use a hundred reasons to explain that they have no other intentions. If the Japanese side asks the Beiyang government to interrupt trade with the Northeast, there are also a hundred types of Beiyang governments.

Method to make excuses.

In the final analysis, as long as the Great Japanese Empire failed to overwhelm the Northeast government in military terms, the Beiyang government would have countless space to deal with.

"Who will support the empire right now?" Kato Tomosaburo continued to ask.

Yasuya Uchida replied: "The British government expressed shock, the French government only expressed concern, and the US government called for peace. The Soviet Union did not make any public statements."

There are only four countries that can truly influence this war. Because the Soviet Union was not recognized by Japan, Japan participated in the siege of the Soviet Union by the Allies, and the two countries did not even have diplomatic relations. Therefore, the current Soviet Union is by no means He Rui's.

enemy.

In this brief silence, Hirohito's attendant, military officer Nijo Hiroichi, asked: "May I ask Uchida, do you think the Soviet Union will support the Northeast government?"

At the Imperial Front Meeting, Hirohito only speaks purely and politely, and does not say more than two sentences. Even if he doesn't say a single sentence, it is not abnormal. However, the reason why the Imperial Front Meeting is an Imperial Front Meeting is that someone must speak on behalf of the royal family.

Military officers are such a role.

Nijo Kyoichi, you can tell that he is a nobleman just by listening to his name. It is a tradition for aristocratic children to serve as military officers. Nijo Kyoichi was born in 1874 and was admitted to the Army Non-commissioned Officer School in 1892. Later, he served in the cavalry unit of the First Division. He was admitted to the Land in 1898.

The University of Science and Technology graduated from the Mainland University in 1901 and joined the cavalry unit of the garrison division. He participated in the Russo-Japanese War and made some contributions. He became Hirohito's attendant military officer in 1909. It was basically the route of the Chinese people.

After hearing Nijokami's question, Yasuya Uchida did not think that this question was indeed critical. Once the Soviet Union and the Northeast Army formed a coalition, Japan would face huge pressure. Yasuya Uchida decisively replied: "It is impossible at this stage, and directly recognize Russia,"

It will make the Northeast government a rebellion of the Republic of China government. If the Northeast government is about to be defeated by the empire, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that it is too likely to be then."

Speaking of the next sentence, Yasuya Uchida was also a little confused. When a person was in a smooth journey, the basic bottom line of his actions could be predicted. However, when he was desperate and was about to collapse, the chance of breaking through the bottom line became very high.

The wide range of vision of Nijo Hiroichi who asked this question surprised Uchida Yasuya a little. This question is tricky, but it is not worth considering.

And Nijo Hiroichi turned to look at Yoshiichi Tanaka, "Grand of Tanaka, what is the reason why the Northeast Army has won the victory so far?"

After hearing the question, Tanaka Yoshihiro not only did not retreat because of his defeat, but instead answered decisively: "The incompetence of the Imperial Army's intelligence department has led to the Empire's judgment of the Northeast Army being completely wrong. This is the responsibility of the Army."

"When will the Army Province evaluate the real strength of the Northeast Army be completed?" Nijo Hiroichi continued to ask.

This question was not possible for Tanaka Yoichichi to answer immediately. After a little thought, Tanaka Yoichichi replied: "In addition to sending reinforcements to North Korea immediately, this is the most priority task."

Nijo Kwang did not ask any further, but turned to Prime Minister Tomosaburo Kato, "His Excellency, has the Navy formulated its own combat plan?"

Tomosaburo Kato replied calmly: "The Navy will work with the Army to study the landing operation plan."

Hearing this answer, Nijokami bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for the answer." Then he sat back in his seat.

Although Tanaka Yoshiichi didn't look at Nijo Hikaru, he cared about this guy's question in his heart. Several questions were very reasonable, and they were completely the questions that military officers who were the regent prince. However, these questions all contained a core

, it means to act cautiously. If you cannot provide an assessment of the Northeast Army, you may even fail in the next battle.

But does this prudence represent a certain attitude of the crown prince? Tanaka Yoshiichi was not very clear at this time.

Tomosaburo Kato's last question was to ask the Minister of the Ministry of Tibetan Affairs Takahashi and the Minister of the Ministry of Tibetan Affairs Takahashi and the Minister of Takahashi and the Minister of Takahashi again stated that as long as the "Budget for Expanding the Budget against the Branch War" was formulated, the provincial capital of the Ministry of Tibetan Affairs immediately began to review it. In addition to such a statement, Takahashi

It was Qing who said nothing more.

The meeting ends here. Generally speaking, at this time, the royal family participating in the imperial meeting can say something, but Hirohito just stood up and left without saying a word. As the concierge chanted "Great Send"

The cabinet ministers bowed to Hirohito's back together.

The imperial meeting ended.

When the cabinet ministers left, they didn't say anything to each other. They each entered the car and went to do their own business. When Tanaka Yoshi-chan got into the car, the adjutant in the car immediately sent three telegrams. According to the urgency of the battle situation, they are now stationed

The North Korean Army Command sends a telegram to Tokyo every 30 minutes.

The adjutant also explained, "Your Excellency, you have never received any telegrams from the two divisions of the North Korean Army in the past hour."

Yoshiichi Tanaka looked through three telegrams. The telegram from the North Korean Army headquarters only said that it was continuing to contact the two divisions and urged the Japanese baggage troops to go for rescue. This order made Yoshiichi Tanaka even more unhappy.

I was still dreaming about it. Does the North Korean Army headquarters actually want to send the last troops to the Northeast Army?

At this time, a train drove into Pyongyang Station. The brigade of officers and soldiers were waiting at the train station. As soon as the train stopped, Major Fukuyama got on the train. After finding the conductor, he said in a stern tone: "This train has been requisitioned!

”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ishihara, who came over, smiled and said, "Fukuyama, you look so energetic."

Major Fukuyama turned around and saw that it was Ishihara Kanir. He was overjoyed and hurried forward to grab Ishihara Kanir's arm, "Ishihara, why are you here?"

Ishihara Kanir closed his smile, "I came to Pyongyang to command the troops to fight."
