We have put pressure on the United States, but the Americans are indifferent to our pressure and don't care..."

Konoe Fumimaro immediately said: "Don't shirk responsibility! Now the army is actively provoking the battle, not passively encountering the battle! It was you who took the initiative and fought two huge defeats in the Far East and East China. Your Excellency, Minister of the Army, I hope you can

Explain the specific processes of the two battles in front of His Majesty the Emperor and give a reasonable explanation!"

Kojima Nojiro said respectfully: "Hi!" Then, Kojima Nojiro began to explain the whole process of the Nomonkan Battle and the Qingdao Battle in a precise manner. He was indeed a competent Minister of the Army, and all battle actions were recorded.

In his mind, he explained the two defeats in an orderly manner, conducting a battle deduction course comparable to that of a military school teacher.

Emperor Hirohito frowned from time to time. He also knew a lot about military affairs. After all, his teachers were General Nogi Nogi Nogi, who was known as the God of the Japanese Army, and General Togo Heihachiro who won the Russo-Japanese naval battle.

Therefore, the requirements for him to understand the specific processes of these two battles are not high. But the more he understands, the more he can feel the despair coming from these two battles. Post-war review

They are all so frightening. I am afraid that the frontline battle situation will be even more terrifying!

After hearing the end, Kojima Nojiro bowed again: "I have betrayed the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, which is a loss of trust and an insult to the dignity of the Empire. I hope Your Majesty will punish you severely!" Emperor Hirohito was extremely serious and remained silent. Japanese army generals and navy generals

He lowered his head and endured the unsettling silence.

After a long time, Emperor Hirohito slowly spoke: "Gentlemen, I once traveled to Europe as the Crown Prince. At that time, the more I saw the prosperity and industrial development of Europe, the more worried I became about the future of Asia.

, The development of Western civilization has reached its peak, but at that time, the empire had to order even one battleship from Britain. As a model for Asian civilization, it could not lead the entire Asia to a glorious future. I am very worried..."

"What Kanji Ishihara said is right. In the future world, the hegemony of the West and the kingship of the East will collide with each other, and a fierce war will inevitably occur. If the Empire of Japan wants to win this war, all

The people must work hard, even at the cost of their lives. If necessary, I will be broken for the sake of the future."

Emperor Hirohito looked at Itagaki Seishiro with an aggressive look: "Nine years ago, you and Ishihara Kanji planned and launched the Tohoku Incident, successfully captured Shenyang, Nenjiang, Rehe and even Jinzhou, and captured Manchuria three times the size of Japan. At that time , I really feel that the future of Asia has been determined, and the scene that the emperors of all generations have longed to see can truly be shown in my day." But that was the conspiracy of General Tang Juwu of Shanghai, and we were dead at that time. Nearly two hundred thousand civilians of the empire fought Wang Yizhe again this time and said they ended in failure.

Kojima Nojiro's head dropped even lower. "Therefore, regardless of the civil servants' impeachment of you for violating the Army Criminal Code, and regardless of the experienced generals' suppression of your young group, I promoted you to the position of Minister of the Army, and promoted Hideki Tojo to the position of Army Minister. "Secretary General, I will promote Okamura Neiji to the position of commander of the North China Front. I hope that the hot blood of you young people can eradicate the chronic disease and create the original glory again."

"But what now? What are you doing to repay the empire? Are you failing one after another!" Kojima Nojiro and Tojo Hideki immediately fell to their knees: "I have betrayed His Majesty's trust, and I will bear all the blame for my death!"

Emperor Hirohito waved his hand: "I will not punish you! If I continue to punish you, the empire will have no talented generals worth appointing! I summon you today. I just want to know when you can put down the threat. Winning China will truly lay the foundation for the empire’s mainland cause!”

Kojima Nojiro gritted his teeth: "Within five years, Asia will be pacified!" Emperor Hirohito waved his hand: "We can't last five years! Konoe Fumimaro, tell them the current financial situation of the empire!" "Hey! "
