The answer was quickly revealed, and King Minami Tokuramiya said, "It is not impossible for Your Majesty to let me serve as Chief of Staff, but I have a condition."

"you say."

"Ishihara Kanir must be used as the deputy chief of staff."

"Ishihara Kanji?" Hirohito nodded, "I know that he has always opposed Tojo's wrong proposal and was kicked away to teach at a university. Many of his policy proposals seem a bit negative, but now they all seem to be right. This is a visionary person. I think he can help you manage the General Staff well."

Takaichi Kido was shocked and blurted out in one sentence: "If Ishihara Kanir came to power, then the mainland minister would be difficult to give birth. Both Commander Umetsu and Commander Yan Toshirou have different opinions with Deputy Minister Ishihara..."

"What's the difficulty? Just let General Seishiro Itagaki be the prime minister. With the wisdom of Ishihara and the courage of Itagaki, there will definitely be a new situation." King Minorhiko Higaki said indifferently.

But Hirohito frowned and said, "Itagaki Seishiro is not good. He repeatedly provoked the Soviet Union during his term. After the relationship with Germany heated up this time, the army is more likely to instigate Germany to attack the Soviet Union. Now, it is really difficult to make too many enemies in the empire's domestic and foreign affairs."

"Then it's only Tada Jun?"

"But he had already transferred to the reserve service a year ago." Takaichi Kido said embarrassedly.

"Then let's go directly to active service." said Tokuramiya Minorhiko. "The cabinet restructuring should not be slow, as there will be various sounds after a long period of delay."

Hirohito nodded in agreement and told Takaichi Kido: "Tada Jun and Fushimi Miyaki Hirokyo had entrusted you to tell me, and you must make sure to show that it was my intention. Let me consider the matter of the Prime Minister. The work of the General Staff can make Ishihara worry about it privately first, and the gendarmerie surveillance will be immediately withdrawn - Tojo is too unreasonable."

"I will follow the order." Yuichi Kido and Minorhiko Higakimiya looked at each other, and smiled slightly, immediately knowing each other's mentality.

Did King Minorhiko Hirohito visit Hirohito when he was idle? Of course not. He secretly received a message from Kanir Ishihara yesterday evening. Combined with the turbulence in the cabinet, he keenly noticed the opportunity and immediately started to move. He decided to visit Kanir Ishihara in person and listen to his opinion. As a person who served as the deputy chief of staff, Ishihara also has a backstage, otherwise it would be impossible to go to Tojo for so long. This backstage is King Minorhiko Hishihara. The military policemen did not dare to move at all when they saw the royal family visiting, and no one dared to report it. If the Prime Minister and the royal family finally had a quarrel, they were still the ones who were unlucky. This time Ishihara became smart and knew that he had a large group of opponents in both the Ministry of Army and the General Staff Headquarters, so his suggestion was to exclude Dong

The Takaichi faction relied on the faction that "not expanding" the troops at the time. In other words, from top to bottom, they must be friends or supporters of Ishihara. This was supported by King Minorhiko Tokuramiya, and he also wanted to use this incident to carry out a major purge of the General Staff Headquarters. Ishihara's first choice candidate for the Lu prime minister was Seishiro Itagaki. After discussing, the two believed that except for the unacceptable Umezu Mijiro and Yan Toshiro, other neutral factions were OK, and even Koi Ishihara could take office. Of course, there was another reason for rejecting Umezu Mijiro because Ishihara believed that Umezu Mijiro was crucial in the Kanto Army. Only he could control the Kanto Army and prevent them from getting ready--now he could never fight against the Soviet Union, even if the Germans were to the sky. But in the end, neither of them expected that Lu prime would fall on the retired Jun Tada.

Takaichi Kido was still thinking about the candidate for the prime minister: If Tada Jun and Ishihara came to power, there would definitely be no chance for Umezu Mijiro, who was not the same as them; Koiki Akira was probably 10% of Ugaki's troops, which probably wouldn't work; but will the possibility of Ugaki's 10% of Ugaki increase a little?

Ugaki Ichizen has been circling around the prime minister's throne over the years. Every time he seemed to have a chance, but he failed to catch it every time. Among other factors, it was mainly because he offended the army in two things. The first was the "Ugaki Disarmament" in 1925. He cut the army's strength of four divisions, closed five army hospitals and two army kindergarten schools, and then expanded the savings to a tank wing, an anti-aircraft artillery wing, two aviation wings and a Taiwan mountain artillery wing, opened an army automobile school, a communications school, and equipped the army troops with aircraft, tanks, light machine guns, automobile towing guns and field.

War heavy artillery. The strength of the troops has improved, but the officers of the four divisions have not been properly placed, which has caused internal opposition from the army. Now it seems that the first factor is no longer there, because the facts prove that Ugaki Ichisheng's method is reasonable. Japan has a lot of troops but its technical equipment is seriously backward. It can still show off its power on the Chinese battlefield, but it can only be a disadvantage against the Soviet army. Whether it is Zhang Gufeng or Nomenhan, the Japanese army was defeated miserably every time. It is even more impossible to defeat the Americans on the Nanyang battlefield. Only the British who are only fighting spirit and fighting the five scumbags can get the advantage. If we want to continue fighting, Ugaki's method must be used to improve the quality.

The second is the "March Coup" that failed in 1930. That year, the core figures of the Ugaki faction, Kingoro Hashimoto, Nagayong, Kiyoshi Tanaka Kiyo and Shoaki Ogawa wanted to push Ugaki to power as prime minister, and planned to let Koiki Aki mobilize the right wing to create riots through Ogawa Shoaki, and then mobilize the army to establish a military dictatorship in the name of suppressing riots. However, Ugaki's own attitude was not firm and finally gave up. Now even his subordinate Koiki Aki has been on the list of candidates for the prime minister, so there is no reason to bother about this matter again.

Eliminating these two factors, Takaichi Kido was surprised to find that Ichizumi Ugaki met almost all the conditions. In addition, the meeting of the important ministers has pushed Ichizumi Ugaki as prime minister many times in succession. He believed that it was given Ichizumi Ugaki a chance: this prime minister's re-election is to coordinate relations between all parties rather than simple decision-making services. Ichizumi Ugaki, who has a deep experience and broad communication, meets this requirement. He is determined to reveal Hirohito's recent mentality changes to the heavy meeting and let them reconsider the election.

That night, Takaichi Kido, who was doing things in a flattery, negotiated with Tada Jun again, and the latter was stunned. A retired general, almost a person who stood aside, dared to think about the position of Lu Prime Minister? But when he heard that it was the recommendation of Minami Minorhiko Tokuro Miya and Ishihara, he became excited because these two were old acquaintances and had a good relationship, which was very helpful for the future work. But he was a calm person. Although he was excited, he was not in a hurry to express his opinion. After thinking for a long time, he finally made a request: "If I want me to be the Prime Minister of Land, I hope that General Yamamoto will be the role of Minami, he is the person who can truly control the troops and the current soul of the Navy. I don't want to be deceived by the Navy again on major issues. If there is a second time, it would be not as simple as resigning, it would be a loss of head..."

"Sir, a major change has occurred in Tokyo." At the Truk Atoll Joint Fleet Command, Lieutenant General Ugaki, came over and handed the telegram to the commander of the Joint Fleet General Isori Yamamoto.

"Yeah, I'll take a look..."

When I saw the news that Matsushimada committed suicide and the resignation of Nagano, the General Secretary of the Military Command, had known that the storm was coming.

"What else is there?"

"It is said that Tadaichi Nagamoto is also going to resign, and the report has been drafted."

Yamamoto Izuru nodded. Of course Tadaichi Nagamoto would resign. First, he was defeated in Midway Island and second, his benefactor Nagamoto's General Cultivation Resigned. Tadaichi Nagamoto could not stay in the position of Commander of the Mobile Fleet - he was not Yamamoto's man, so how could he stay without Nagamoto's support?

“Respect his personal choice.”

"The second telegram was that Tokyo ordered us to end the Guadalam operation as soon as possible and assist the army in full swing."

"What?" Yamamoto Iroku had not made any statement, and all other combat staff members beside him shouted, "Who gave the order? The Prime Minister is gone, the General Secretary of the Military Command resigns, who can directly order the joint fleet? This is a life-threatening disaster! Besides, we have made countless sacrifices in the Battle of Guadalam. If we insist on the turn, maybe it is right in front of us. How can we give up easily?"

"Abide by the orders." Yamamoto Izuru said lightly.

"Yes, but?..."

Yamamoto had seen the source of the telegram clearly and explained: "This is His Majesty's personal decree, not issued by the Military Order. Of course, it would not be a disaster. Have you forgotten that His Majesty has the power to command the Supreme Command?"

Everyone was silent, everyone was thinking: What happened, and why did the situation suddenly become like this?

Later, the telegrams poured in like a tide, and all the personnel in the headquarters realized that the Navy had concealed the true situation of the Battle of Midway and Guadalam from the Emperor, and began to discuss it in a slight manner:

"Hey, the people in Tokyo are messing around. We have long reported the situation to the country. The hat of lying and concealing reports cannot be placed on our heads."

"It's probably General Nagano's idea. He has many ideas. Chief Nagano has been reluctant to resign because of him. You didn't see that as soon as he resigned, Chief Nagano immediately resigned."

"But it's good now, the commander's power will be even greater, and he will never be constrained by those damn army red deer."

"Enough!" Yamamoto glared at everyone and scolded, "You can also discuss personnel changes and major policies at the top?"

The group of staff members were silent and did not dare to make any noise. Yamamoto then left the room and went to the bridge.

"Sir, I don't think you are very happy." Ugaki Chan followed behind silently and said for a long time.

"Can you be happy?"

“I think…”

Before Ugaki's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yamamoto Izuru: "I may be leaving the Joint Fleet..."

"Why?"

"The country is in a difficult situation, and your Majesty doesn't say it in his heart. He may have other considerations and arrangements for me."

"But who has the prestige and ability to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Joint Fleet?"
