Tokyo, Japan, inside the base camp of the Japanese army.Please search for the most complete and fastest updated novels An hour ago, this place suddenly became busy, cars rushed into here, and there was an endless stream of senior officers coming here.In the conference room of the military headquarters, more than 30 senior officers above the rank of lieutenant general gathered at this moment.Prime Minister Hideki Tojo was sweating profusely and explaining something to each of the generals present, and gradually, his voice began to be hoarse, and his voice began to change his voice."
Your Excellency Prime Minister, General Okamura Ninji can't help it.There are still more than half a million troops, and we must not give up," a lieutenant general yelled with great emotion."
We know, we know.The lives of more than 500,000 Imperial soldiers, we will never sit idly by, please rest assured" Hideki Tojo calmed the general's anger."
Your Excellency, does our government have ten tons of gold?"
asked another officer anxiously.Everyone has problems, and these generals are very concerned about whether the government will save or not save the 500,000 troops.If we don't save it, Japan will really be finished.Even more than half a million troops are gone, can these generals still trust the government in the future.This is a political dilemma, the biggest problem facing Hideki Tojo and the government he leads."
Your Excellency Prime Minister, please come with me immediately to the Imperial Palace, His Majesty the Emperor will summon you" Suddenly, a man in a suit crowded into the crowd, and all the generals present immediately retreated when they saw this person, keeping a certain distance.Because from this person's exquisite clothing fabrics, it can be seen that he is a person close to the emperor, and his status is still very high.Although ordinary generals have real power, they are still much worse than the people around these emperors.Hideki Tojo sighed, in fact, he had known for a long time that the emperor would summon him.After all, if such a big thing happened, if the emperor didn't make any moves, then he wouldn't be the emperor.Hideki Tojo asked his subordinates to deal with the affairs of the military department, and he followed the person sent by the emperor to the palace together.After arriving at the Imperial Palace, the man took Hideki Tojo all the way to the Emperor's palace.In the past few years, Hideki Tojo has been here I don't know how many times, so he is familiar with the road.He was the main culprit for actively waging wars, and he was also a confidant of the emperor, who was vigorously cultivated by the emperor.After arriving at the palace, the person leading the way nodded to Hideki Tojo and left on his own.Hideki Tojo walked towards the palace step by step, and saw the emperor kneeling by the window, looking at the blue sky."
Hideki Tojo, meet His Majesty the Emperor" Hideki Tojo straightened his clothes and bowed down to the Emperor.The emperor turned his head slightly, no expression on his face, just nodded faintly to Hideki Tojo."
You are here, then sit down, you are welcome," said the Emperor."
Your Majesty the Emperor of Thanks" After Tojo Hideki kowtowed, he dared to move to the vicinity of the emperor and knelt there."
I've heard about China."
After a moment of silence, the Emperor was the first to speak.Hideki Tojo had been prepared for a long time, and he knew that his political enemies did not appear in the military department, and they would definitely make trouble for him behind his back.Sure enough, they came to tell the emperor and wanted to embarrass themselves.The Emperor continued: "The more than 500,000 troops led by Okamura Ninji are the last troops of our Empire in Chinese mainland, and there are still so many of them."
Although the tone was flat, Hideki Tojo, who knew the emperor, knew that the emperor was actually very nervous at the moment.Hideki Tojo coughed and said, "The content of Hideki Tojo's report is that he has negotiated with the People's Liberation Army.As long as we are willing to take out ten tons of gold, the PLA can let them all go.The premise is that before leaving China, they need to leave all their weapons and equipment behind, and they can only leave alone. ”The Emperor hummed to indicate that he was listening.Hideki Tojo continued: "But I think it's just a trick by the Chinese. ”"Oh, why do you think that," the emperor asked, surprised.Hideki Tojo said confidently: "In the early Chinese battlefield, our army was better than the Chinese army because of its weaponry and the quality of its soldiers, so it was able to win many battles, and the Chinese army lost its territory and suffered countless casualties. ”"But since the Chinese developed their own weapons and constantly surpassed us.The situation we are facing in the Chinese theater of war is getting worse day by day, not to mention the annihilation of the troops in formation, and the continuous surrender of large numbers of troops to the Chinese army. ”"There are all kinds of indications that the Chinese hate our warriors of the Great Japanese Empire.They will not let us leave China easily, not to mention that they besieged our more than 500,000 troops this time, and they will not let us leave easily" Hideki Tojo said coldly: "Because there is a saying in China that you must not let the tiger return to the mountain."
In their eyes, our 500,000-odd army is clearly a vicious tiger. ”Hideki Tojo said it impassionedly, but the emperor's brow became more and more wrinkled."
You mean, since this is a trap, don't save our 500,000 troops, right?"
asked the Emperor.Hideki Tojo could hear the anger in the Emperor's tone, but he believed his guess very much.Therefore, he still nodded vigorously: "Yes, His Majesty the Emperor."
Ten tons of gold, although we can take it out, but if we just go down the drain and can't save people, we will be laughed at by the whole world, especially by our German allies" "But if you don't take these ten tons of gold, our 500,000 troops will die."
In that case, the strength of the empire will be greatly damaged, and you know this," the emperor's voice raised several degrees, obviously angry.Hideki Tojo stiffened his head and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I know our opponent very well.Those Chinese are so cunning, they take money, and they will definitely not let our people go.If that is the case, in the words of the Chinese, we will lose our wife and lose our soldiers.Ten tons of gold, we can do a lot of things, and even rearm an army of 500,000 people. ”The emperor looked at Hideki Tojo angrily and said: "What are you talking about, the life of the imperial warriors can be measured in money, what is ten tons of gold, we have conquered so many countries in Southeast Asia, as long as we loot from them, ten tons of gold will come back soon."
But without our army, we will never have a chance, you know" Hideki Tojo still wanted to distinguish it, so he said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have reorganized the army from the Kyushu side.The four countries have also organized a force of 200,000 people, who are being trained, and can go to Southeast Asia to fight at any time."
Today's Chinese army is no longer the same Chinese army it was a few years ago. ”"Their strength has increased countless times, and they are no longer the object that our army can look up to" Hideki Tojo said earnestly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, we can only guarantee our results if we decisively give up China and then go all out to win Southeast Asia" "Enough" The Emperor sharply interrupted Hideki Tojo's words, with an endless cold glint in his eyes.Hideki Tojo immediately shut up, he knew that the emperor's expression must have an idea in his heart, and calling himself was not to discuss, but to do things directly.Sure enough, I only heard the emperor say: "The army of the empire must be saved."
Okamura Ninji, and our more than 500,000 troops, must all be saved" The emperor looked at Tojo Hideki and said: "Do it according to what the Chinese say, prepare ten tons of gold, within a week, it must be transported to China" Tojo Hideki still wanted to refute, but seeing the emperor's indifferent eyes, he had to nod and dare not say anything more."
Let's go" the emperor waved his hand at Hideki Tojo: "I hope you are good at yourself, the position of prime minister is not easy to do."
If you can't handle the war situation in China, this position can be done by someone who has the ability" Hideki Tojo shuddered, he knew that this was the emperor warning himself.He also knew the importance of China in the emperor's mind.For thousands of years, Japan has absorbed Chinese culture, and even the architectural pattern of the imperial palace is built according to the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty.The clothing, culture, etc., of the Japanese people, all absorbed the culture of the Han and Tang dynasties, and only then did they evolve to the present.Therefore, in the minds of successive emperors and people of insight, it was their greatest lifelong wish to occupy China.They think that they are the most orthodox inheritors of Han and Tang culture, so the emperor's heart will definitely not be willing to occupy China.Hideki Tojo trembled and bowed to the Emperor, but the Emperor never looked at him again.He could only retreat slowly, and left the palace with apprehension.A day later, in Nanchang, China, Okamura Ninji, who had been waiting for two whole days, finally received a telegram from the Japanese base camp.The moment he saw the telegram, he immediately cried out excitedly."
I knew, I knew, they couldn't give up easily, and sure enough, sure enough," Hideki Tojo laughed.Tang Wei took the telegram and looked at it, and after confirming the content on it, he smiled and patted Okamura Ningji on the shoulder: "Lao Gang, you have made a great contribution this time, and you will slander your country with us."
You traitor, you are definitely unprecedented, and there is no one before or since" Okamura Ninji's face twitched when he heard this, whether this was praising him or scolding him.However, he was also sure that when the gold arrived, he would never be able to return to Japan, and he might have to live a life of being hunted down for the rest of his life.But what's the matter, he has someone with guns and money, who else is he afraid of when the time comes."
Let's go, follow me to meet our chief of staff" Tang Wei smiled: "I think, he knows the news and will definitely praise you" aa2705221:
