What Tanaka is worried about is the issue of the Eastern Army of Japan. The so-called Eastern Army is the force under the Eastern Japan Defense and Security Command established by the Ministry of War. The current commander is the son-in-law of Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki, who is also a famous figure in the Japanese Army. Artillery expert General Fujie Keisuke, Suzuki Kantaro succeeded Tojo Hideki and was appointed to form the cabinet a year ago. In order to cope with the deteriorating situation and to guard against opposition in the army, he specially recommended his son-in-law Fujie Keisuke to serve as the cabinet. The commander of the Eastern Garrison Region controls part of the military power just in case.

In addition to serving as the commander of the Eastern Garrison Region, Fujie Keisuke also serves as the commander of the 11th Mainland Front Army. He is in charge of a total of three brigades, but each of the three brigades is stationed in various strategic locations in the Kanto Corridor. , there are only two regiments left in Tokyo, with about 5,000 troops. Although the strength is not much, it is a threat after all, especially Fujie Keisuke is the direct boss of the nominal Guards Division.

Therefore, the five thousand troops under his control must be taken into consideration. What's more, since Fujie Keisuke is Suzuki Kantaro's son-in-law, he is an out-and-out target of crusade in the eyes of Tanaka and others. At the same time, he is also a member of the Guards Division. As a superior, once he expresses his opinion, it will have a great impact on the soldiers of the Guards Division.

Takashimasuke smiled calmly, "Don't worry, Tanaka-kun, I have already considered this factor. Someone will deal with Fujie Keisuke. We just need to implement it according to our plan."

…

Fujie Keisuke's face was ashen, and he stared at the dark night without blinking. Although his line of sight was only about a hundred meters, he could clearly hear the faint sound of military boots hitting the ground in the darkness, and through the These sounds conveyed a strong murderous aura.

"Tokyo is going to be in chaos again." Fujie Keisuke couldn't help but think of it. The mutiny in the 11th year of the Showa era was still vivid in his mind. As the imperial army was retreating on the battlefield, some restless guys It's about to start making moves again, but who can blame it? The royal family negotiated peace with the Americans in private. In addition to protecting its own interests, it didn't even think about its citizens, soldiers, and generals. Such an emperor, such a The royal family, such a leader, will anyone still be loyal to him?

Fujie Keisuke was very worried about his seventy-eight-year-old father-in-law. After the military cabinet headed by Tojo Hideki stepped down, it left a mess to the emperor. Only then did the emperor remember Kantaro Suzuki, who had been forgotten for a long time. Name, during the February 26th Mutiny, he was attacked by rebels and hit in the head by a bullet. He finally survived and later became the Speaker of the Privy Council. He is one of the rare important figures in Japan who is still sober. He has been working hard over the years. He suppressed hardliners and sought a peaceful and dignified solution to the war in Asia, but until now, the emperor had no choice but to re-activate him when he was desperate. Perhaps this is also his greatest sorrow.

It is precisely because of this that Fujie Keisuke is very clear that his father-in-law will become a thorn in the side of some radical figures in the army, and he will quickly get rid of it. Although he does not agree with his father-in-law's political views in his heart, Fujie Keisuke has long since It has been clearly marked as the Suzuki faction, and he can no longer think about it. What's more, Suzuki Kantaro himself is from the navy, and he is a senior general in the army. He also has a close personal relationship with the new Minister of War, Anami Yuki. As you can imagine, his prestige and connections in the army and navy were beyond Fujie Keisuke's control.

But tonight, Fujie Keisuke no longer had the mind to think about this. The atmosphere tonight was a bit unusual. Although Fujie Keisuke couldn't explain the reason, out of a soldier's intuition, he instinctively felt that something was going to happen.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the 1st Guards Division has made some unusual moves." The adjutant hurried up to the roof and reported to Fujie Keisuke.

"Have you contacted them? Why did they need to be mobilized in the early morning?" Fujie Keisuke did not look back.

"The explanation was very vague. It just said that it was a normal defense deployment." The adjutant said here, and suddenly hesitated, "But I don't think so. The latest news is that they have sealed off the royal residence area in Fukiage Ward and also controlled Tokyo Broadcasting. Radio.”

Fujie Keisuke's body trembled suddenly, and the few starlights shone on Guangguang's head, showing some traces of sweat, "Radio station."

The purpose of the Guards Division's unusual movement became instantly clear. These arrogant guys actually wanted to prevent the emperor's armistice edict from being broadcast nationwide.

Wait, Fujie Keisuke suddenly broke out in sweat. It will definitely not be that simple. Simply blocking the broadcast of the armistice edict will not have any effect, unless, unless, there is another military rebellion in which "the bottom defeats the top". We will use the machine to eliminate dissidents and restore full military power.

In this case, his father-in-law will be the first to bear the brunt. No wonder, no wonder the big bosses of the army have been quiet these days. They are all eccentric, and it turns out they are waiting to see a good show.

"No, I must do something." Fujie Keisuke knew very well that he could not do anything with the five thousand troops in his hands. At this time, if he wanted to mobilize the Eastern Army troops in the Kanto region to Beijing, he must After receiving instructions from the base camp and the emperor, there is no need to ask. I can think of this, and the guys who mutinied can also think of it. They will definitely cut off the connection between the palace, the base camp and the army as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Fujie Keisuke quickly issued an order, asking an adjutant to lead a small team of soldiers to rush to Suzuki Kantaro's residence and escort him to a safe area. In addition, he immediately arranged for personnel to get in touch with the base camp, staff headquarters, and palace guard troops. .

But before the orders were distributed, the guards hurriedly came to report, and someone from the base camp was sent over.

Fujie Keisuke was in a daze. It seemed that the base camp had also received news of the changes in the First Guards Division, so he sent someone to contact him as soon as possible.

I also know the person coming, Fujie Keisuke, who is Colonel Takeda Takeda, the senior staff officer of the General Staff Headquarters. This person is currently engaged in intelligence work, but he is a graduate of the Imperial Army University and is also a key member and rising star of the mainland department.

Fujie Keisuke let Takeda Takeo into the conference room. Takeda Takeo took out the latest order from the base camp from his briefcase and put the briefcase under the table at his feet. Fujie Keisuke's guess was correct. The First Guards Division Sure enough, they preemptively cut off the communication between the various units and the base camp, the Army Department, etc., and also installed high-power jamming equipment in the city, making the radio stations everywhere ineffective. Therefore, the base camp could only send personnel to make contact with the troops garrisoned in the city. , of course, the only one in the city that can compete with the First Guards Division is Fujie Keisuke's troops.

"Your Excellency, please be careful. As far as we know, not only the Guards Division is involved in this operation, but also some soldiers from the 15th Division."

"What." Fujie Keisuke was shocked, "Kwantung Army."

Takeda Takeo nodded, "Your Excellency, do you still remember the last batch of Kwantung Army troops that were withdrawn from the mainland?"

"Haven't everything been reviewed at the base camp?" Fujie Keisuke asked loudly.

"Not everything has been reviewed." Takeda Yixiong said word by word: "Your Excellency, please don't forget that there are more than 10,000 wounded soldiers returning with the ship."

"Could it be them?"

"That's right." Takeda Takeo's tone was extremely heavy, "They gathered to participate in the rebellion and got in touch with the 1st Guards Division as soon as possible."

"Why do they have weapons and equipment?" Fujie Keisuke said angrily.

"That's unknown," Takeda Takeo replied, "but I'm sure there must be their internal agents in the army."

Fujie Keisuke suddenly became quiet.

Takeda Yixiong said softly: "Your Excellency, you can no longer hesitate and act immediately. The base camp has eliminated messengers and summoned the Kwantung garrison to join King Qin. You must hold on until reinforcements arrive."

Fujie Keisuke nodded, reluctantly cheered up, and summoned the Eastern Army officers for an emergency meeting.

In less than ten minutes, senior officers such as the chief of staff at the station and headquarters, as well as the commanders of the two infantry regiments stationed in Tokyo, all arrived.

Takeda Takeda looked at the situation and excused himself from the meeting on the grounds that it was inconvenient to attend the military meeting. No one noticed that he did not take his briefcase with him when he went out. At this time, officers at all levels in the meeting room, Even Fujie Keisuke was so preoccupied that no one noticed this detail.

Takeda Takeda took two of his entourage with him, then walked out of the Eastern Army Headquarters and returned to the car he was riding in.

One of the attendants took off his hat and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect that Takashimasuke actually found you."

Takeda Takeda looked at Lin Xiaotang's proud face angrily, "Don't you know, I am also from the Kwantung Army."

Takeda Takeo then asked: "The problem of the Eastern Army has been solved. It is inevitable that Tokyo will become a mess. I want to ask you how you plan to deal with the aftermath."

Lin Xiaotang was very surprised, "Why should we deal with the aftermath?"

Takeda Takeo almost fell over, "What, are you just watching Tokyo turn into ruins? What good will this do to you? Besides, if Japan surrenders in the future, someone with sufficient qualifications must preside over it."

Lin Xiaotang waved his hand nonchalantly, "We'll talk about it when the time comes. I can't think of things that are too far away."

One sentence made Takeda Takeda roll his eyes majestically, while Lin Xiaotang raised his chin at another person in the car, "Fire Eyes, it's up to you."
