s: Asking for votes at the beginning of the month From a neutral perspective, there was nothing wrong with Hirohito's approach, but what he didn't expect was.
His "heroic appearance" standing on an armored vehicle directing "counter-insurgency" was photographed.
For a while, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pacified the chaos of Yu Zhenying" made headlines in various newspapers.
There is a huge public outcry right now, and media from all sides are hyping up this matter.
This is not only promoted by the Japanese Science and Socialist Party, but also by other political forces, as well as the plutocratic elites behind it, and also by some foreign forces.
This is not just China, but the United States, Germany, the Soviet Union, and even Britain and France.
Have a share.
The motivations of various aspects are different.
For the Japanese Science and Socialist Party, it is naturally to discredit the royal family.
The plutocrats and dignitaries just want to shirk the blame and claim to be innocent, "Look, the crown prince did this, we are all innocent little white flowers."
As for the motivations of other political forces, which are more complex, the royalists are out to show off the majesty of the royal family and build momentum for Hirohito, "Look, our Crown Prince is so wise and powerful", while other factions are either trying to shirk the blame or discredit him.
For the great powers, it must be a happy thing to take advantage of Japan, a cheap guy.
No matter what the reasons were, this matter became a big deal due to the hype from all sides.
Not only Japan, but also other countries around the world quickly learned about the glory of "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Japan, Hirohito, personally commanded to quell the chaos."
Deeds.
Hirohito was quite complacent at first, feeling that he was so domineering and powerful that his achievements were comparable to those of Emperor Jimmu.
But soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
Public opinion from the people became more and more unfavorable to him.
Originally, it was only aimed at the rich and powerful, but also included the royal family.
This is also a normal thing.
After all, people are selfish.
There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no loyalty without reason.
The reason why those civilians were loyal to the royal family and had hope in them was because they believed that the "Tian Nao Heika" could suppress the powerful and give them more benefits.
But this hope was dashed by Hirohito himself.
And that's not all.
After learning about the popular trend, the young and energetic Hirohito was very angry and personally announced to the whole country on the radio: If there is another similar incident, we will suppress it without mercy.
However, Hirohito overestimated his prestige and underestimated the people's resentment, and did this stupid thing that he thought was smart.
Of course, this cannot be completely blamed on him, because through years of propaganda, he really believed that "the emperor is the representative of Japan and a living god", and really thought that he was supreme in the hearts of the Japanese.
Coupled with the fact that he is young and inexperienced, it is normal for him to do some second-rate things.
Crisis public relations is a technical job, especially in this era of advanced media.
However, not only Hirohito has no experience in this kind of thing, but even his cronies also lack experience in this area, so they messed up this time.
Hirohito's approach not only failed to alleviate the crisis of trust among the people, but instead added fuel to the fire, increasing the people's dislike of the royal family.
The people are the most realistic group, and their loyalty to the royal family is not unconditional.
If the "Tian Nao Heika" can guarantee their interests, they will certainly be loyal.
But if the "Tian Nao Heika" infringes upon their vital interests, then the "Tian Nao Hei Ka" will just die.
The "Sakurada Gate Incident" was a very serious blow to the Japanese Empire.
It completely detonated public sentiment and class conflicts could no longer be concealed.
However, the government did not dare to suppress it forcefully, because the mood of the army's middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers has now fluctuated seriously.
The emperor, the pillar of belief, is about to collapse.
The entire class has experienced extremely serious ideological turmoil.
At this juncture, the top government officials I didn’t dare to make any more violent movements.
The most important thing is that some upper-level army officials, led by Akiyama Yoshino and Shirakawa Yoshinori, are also questioning the current policy.
They have adopted a conniving and sympathetic attitude towards the army's current ideological trends, which has even further caused the Japanese Army to become schizophrenic.
So on the one hand, Japan's upper echelons were tolerant and divided, and on the other hand, they mobilized the relatively obedient navy to serve as kings in Beijing to suppress the already seriously unstable army.
It was under this circumstance that the two Kii-class ships were ordered to end their sea trials and return to Tokyo immediately.

Yokosuka Fort.
Vice Admiral Saburo Horiuchi, the commander-in-chief of the garrison, now has a headache, a very serious one.
The garrison of the Japanese Navy is a very fortress unit.
It manages all ground affairs from recruitment, military logistics, military law, hospitals to shipbuilding, as well as the Marine Corps, land-based aviation, etc.
There are also naval military schools under its control.
The Yokosuka garrison has a naval artillery school and a mine school, and the Kure garrison has a naval diving school.
The commander-in-chief of the garrison is appointed by the emperor himself as a general or lieutenant general, and is directly subordinate to the emperor.
Relevant military and political affairs are directed by the Minister of the Navy, and relevant combat plans are directed by the Chief of the Military Command.
The power of the garrison can be said to be extremely great.
Anyway, except for Japan, no country in the world has such a fortress unit in its navy.
Being the commander-in-chief of the four major Japanese navy garrison is naturally a very prestigious position, especially in the Yokosuka garrison next to the capital.
This unit is the top priority.
It is naturally not easy to sit in this position.
Vice Admiral Horiuchi Saburo's background is not very impressive, and his family is only a mid-level samurai under the Matsudaira family of the Mishan Domain.
He himself is not an amazingly talented person.
He can climb to this position only through qualifications.
Plus a little bit of luck.
If it were a normal time, he would be very happy to take over this position, but it is not a normal time to be riding a horse now.
Under the current situation, this position is undoubtedly a crater.
He took over this position on February 5.
His predecessor, Admiral Kaneo Nomaguchi, had an obviously relieved expression when handing over to him, and became even more relaxed and comfortable after the handover was completed.
Kaneo Nomaguchi was happy and left, but now he is the one to sit in the crater of the volcano.
God knows when it will erupt.
Saburo Horiuchi originally wanted to quit, but the situation was not too bad at the time, so he still had some luck.
But less than a week after the handover, the "Sakurada Gate Incident" occurred, which was about to explode.
Now Saburo Horiuchi regrets that he did not refuse the appointment as soon as possible, which makes it difficult for him to get off the job.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the mood of the sailors in the garrison is not very stable right now, especially with the land-based air force, and the morale is very low."
The news brought by Colonel Takasu Shiro, chief of staff of the garrison, was very bad.
"These are all those damn Army Red Deer, if it weren't for them" Horiuchi Saburo is now a numb claw, and he has no good way to deal with this kind of thing.
They had no choice but to order a state of war readiness, order military judges to strengthen supervision, prohibit tandem connections, cut off the supply of newspapers, confiscate the radios of all lower-level officers and soldiers, and other means.
At this time, a staff officer ran in and handed over a telegram: "Your Excellency, the Military Command has ordered us to send Marine Corps into Tokyo to perform defense tasks."
"What, dispatching marines to Luo?
Has the situation in Tokyo become so tense?"
Horiuchi Saburo was shocked and quickly read the telegram.
The telegram was sent by Kantaro Suzuki, Chief of the Military Command Department.
The main content was: The current situation is not good, very bad.
The navy bosses unanimously believe that the Army has become schizophrenic and is unreliable, so at this critical moment it must be Look at our navy.
So Horiuchi, you quickly sent the marine team to Tokyo to protect the Imperial Palace, important units of our navy, and the residences of the bosses.
Your Yokosuka garrison now has seven special marine regiments, leaving one as a caretaker and sending the rest over.
If there are not enough people to look after the house, the sailors who are not on duty can also be deployed to look after the house. "" Horiuchi Saburo was very speechless, he only felt a hundred thousand divine beasts roaring past in his heart.
Don't these guys in Tokyo know that the navy is also in panic now?
Do they dare to mobilize troops at this time?
What to do with such an order?
Horiuchi Saburo originally didn't want to carry out it, but this was the opinion of the navy bosses.
If he still wanted to be in the navy, he couldn't refuse it directly, but he didn't want to take the blame.

So he immediately picked up the phone and called Suzuki Kantaro.
When the call was connected, he immediately told Suzuki Kantaro about the unstable situation of the soldiers in the garrison.
But Suzuki Kantaro just remained silent for a while and asked him to continue executing the order.
The implication is that this is an appointment by King Qin, and the navy must not let its guard down.
"In any case, our navy is more reliable than those army horses," Kantaro Suzuki said in the end.
Well, since the words came down to this, Saburo Horiuchi had no choice but to carry out the plan.
He immediately called the deputy commander, Colonel Toyoda, and ordered him to immediately lead six special marine regiments to Kamiro Kinwang in Tokyo.
There are three types of marines in Japan at this time.
One is the shipboard marines stationed on ships, which is a legacy of the ancient gang jumping teams.
The other is the "Garrison Marine Corps", which, as the name suggests, is dedicated to guarding important locations such as ports, docks, shipyards, warehouses, and naval agencies.
The last type of "Special Marine Corps" is the Marine Corps in the later sense.
In the original time and space, the Japanese Navy did not pay much attention to the Marine Corps, and it was not established until 1930.
But this plane is a little different.
They have fought in Europe for several years, accumulated a lot of experience, and accepted a lot of advanced military ideas.
Of course, there is another biggest reason, which is to compete with the Army for territory.
With such a large fertile land in Africa, the Army cannot take advantage of it.
Under this guiding spirit, the Japanese Navy established the Marine Corps in 1918 during World War I.
And because Japan in this plane has more funds, the equipment and scale of the Marine Corps are much stronger than in the original plane.
The organization of the Marine Corps is similar to that of the Army, including detachments, squads, squadrons, and groups.
However, the largest organization of the Marine Corps is the regiment, and there are no brigades or divisions.
At present, the "Special Marine Corps" of the Japanese Navy has a total of 20 wings and several independent groups and squadrons, with a total number of more than 100,000.
Among them, Yokosuka has the largest number, with 7 regiments and about 28,000 people.
Deputy Toyoda immediately gathered the troops and boarded the ship.
Now it is still the fastest to go from Yokosuka to Tokyo by ship.
After boarding the ship, Deputy Toyoda immediately ordered the ship to travel at full speed.
In order to keep up with the speed, several destroyers were also used as guest troop carriers.
Tokyo, where the First Division is based.
"What, they want to mobilize us to Africa?"
Kenji Doihara, captain of the 2nd Regiment, asked in disbelief.
Captain Ushijima Sadao of the 3rd Regiment nodded and said angrily: "Yes, the superiors no longer trust us and want to drive us to Africa."
"Baga, are you going to exile us?"
"This must have been caused by those national thieves.
I should have participated in killing all those bastards."
A group of team captains and group captains were shouting curses.
As we all know, because the two Guards Divisions are only under the administration of the Army, and nominally they are directly under the Emperor, the First Division is the biological son of the Army.
Everyone has stayed in the bustling Tokyo for a long time, and no one wants to go to Africa.
In the eyes of this group of mid-level officers, this is not a transfer at all, this is an exile.
In fact, only a few mid-level officers were directly involved in the last "Sakurada Gate Incident", and those people are now in prison.
Now this group of people did not participate, well, did not participate directly.
Of course, words like "I don't even know what you did" would have been said by so many people present.
"Doihara-kun, you have the most ideas.
What should we do now, should we go with Kawasaki and the others?"
a captain said, and his voice couldn't help but become softer as he spoke.
When everyone heard this, they fell silent.
They all knew that the guy named Kawasaki was a staff officer from the Third Division who came to join forces some time ago.

They also know that this guy is a member of the Youth Japan Association, and they are planning to cause trouble this time.
At best, they call them soldiers to remonstrate, and at worst, they call them "Qingjun side".
At worst, they call them rebellion.
Well, although this group of officers sympathizes with the suffering of the lower class, after all, many of them are not from a wealthy background, and they also agree with the reform purpose of the Young Japan Association, but they are also very hostile to the plutocrats and powerful people.
But it is still difficult for them to make up their minds just like this.
I just woke up and haven’t brushed my teeth yet, and you tell me you’re rebelling Doihara Kenji looked at the tangled expressions of everyone and said slowly: "Now it seems that if those people are still in power, our future in the army will be completely hopeless.
They no longer trust us, even if we arrive Africa, It won't be long before we have to retire in despair or be transferred to the reserve force.
This is still a good thing.
If not, it will be our turn when they finish the matter in Tokyo.
Then we will probably have to be there for the rest of our lives.
Life in prison” As soon as these words came out, everyone became horrified.
This is no joke.
It is entirely possible, and the possibility is very high.
The youngest ones here are all captains and veterans of the martial arts world.
Who doesn’t know the ability of those birdies above to blame others?
The "Sakurada Gate Incident" has caused such a big fuss.
It will definitely not be settled with just a few low-level officers and soldiers.
The First Division is the unit directly responsible.
How can it be possible, let alone the school, if a few school officers are not left to take the blame?
Officer, maybe even the division commander Ishimitsu Masaomi and the chief of staff Yanagawa Heisuke will be blamed.
"We have no choice now," Kenji Doihara said grimly, "If we don't defeat those people on the stage now, we will be doomed."
"But, we are all disarmed now, and there are still those bastards from the Guards Division guarding us outside," a captain said.
"That's not a problem."
Kenji Doihara smiled evilly and whispered, "Kawasaki and the others were prepared in advance, that's all."
Half an hour later, everyone left the barracks.
After everyone left, Doihara Kenji whispered to himself: "Ishihara, I will not lose to you."
Division Commander's Office.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there seems to be something strange about the group of school officers.
They are contacting the group of lieutenants and sergeants."
Chief of Staff Yanagawa Heisuke hurried in.
"We are all regarded as prisoners of war.
What else can happen?"
Shi Guangzhenchen said with an ugly face: "I don't know anything now."
Yanagawa Heisuke wanted to say more, but when he saw the boss's face, he immediately understood something and stopped talking.
"Yanagawa, come and play a game with me."
Shi Guangzhenchen came to the chessboard with a strange expression.
Yanagawa Heisuke's mouth twitched and he sat down.
"Division Commander, look at this" Shi Guangzhenchen waved his hand to stop his words.
"The two of us are playing chess here today, waiting for the next order from our superiors.
As for what is happening outside, we don't know."
On the periphery of the First Division's station was a regiment of the Second Guards Division.
They guarded the First Division's station like prisoners.
After the "Sakurada Gate Incident", the First Division, as the main party involved, was unlucky.
It suddenly changed from a "son" to a character hated by gods and ghosts.
Their officers and soldiers who participated in the riot were either shot dead or imprisoned pending trial.

Those who did not participate were disarmed by the 2nd Guards Division and the 3rd Guards Division who subsequently came to suppress the rebellion, and were imprisoned in the camp empty-handed. .
Now that the army has become more sophisticated, the higher-ups dare not let the army troops guard it.
Who knows if those people will guard it and steal it, so they cooperated internally and externally, so they sent the Second Guards Division to guard it.
Although the bosses all know that the Guards Division is all young soldiers, their combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as that of the First Division, which has climbed trenches in France, fought in Italy and India, and fought all over Asia, Africa and Europe.
However, the officers and soldiers of the Guards Division are all "sons of good families".
They are basically the sons of honorable nobles.
They are much more reliable than the army born from ordinary people.
Besides, the weapons of the First Division have been confiscated.
How can it still compete with the Guards Division, which is armed to the teeth?
Out of this mentality, the officers and soldiers of the Guards Division were also very relaxed.
No matter how young we are, we still have guns and cannons.
Why can’t we suppress those guys who are empty-handed?
It's snowy and windy today, and it's too cold.
Most of the young soldiers are huddled in their houses and tents.
"Boom!"
A dozen deep sounds suddenly sounded in the wind, and several sentries fell down in response.
But two others were only injured.
They immediately covered their wounds and shouted "enemy attack" Countless figures rushed out of the night like ghosts, followed by gunfire.
An officer of the Guards Division recognized the attacker through a streetlight and immediately shouted in horror: "No, the Third Division has rebelled":
