Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Tokyo Imperial Palace, the underground bunker renovated by the Imperial Palace, is very spacious, but being in it for a long time makes people feel very depressed. Especially, the frequency and number of Allied bombings are increasing these days. Emperor Hirohito and his entourage  I had to stay here for a long time. After a long time, it was difficult to distinguish between day and night.  It was another long round of imperial meetings. Emperor Hirohito and several of his closest ministers were worried about the current corrupt situation, but the quarrels continued.  Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi proposed ending the war this morning. This is not a new argument. Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki and Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo had proposed it at the imperial meeting more than a month ago, but they were opposed by the Army.  This time, it¡¯s no exception.  As soon as the issue was raised, Minister of War Anami Yuki and Umezu Yoshijiro stood up to refute, "Our army still has the strength and can definitely fight." "No matter how we fight, Kyushu has become chaotic, and the garrison troops have been unwilling to accept the counter-insurgency at the base camp.  The rebels are threatening to ignite the prairie fire. We should negotiate peace with the allies while dispatching elite troops to return to the homeland to quickly quell the rebellion and calm people's hearts. " "Scabies is nothing to worry about. " "That's enough."  , Hirohito stood up and said, "No more words, gentlemen. I will make my own decision on the matter of war." The whole room was suddenly silent. As a sacred monarch, the emperor was not allowed to talk to the ministers of the cabinet during the imperial meeting.  , usually conveyed by the internal ministers, but today, as soon as the emperor spoke, the ministers heard the emperor's reprimand and realized the seriousness of the situation.  The emperor slowly straightened up, and his entire face was shrouded in the sunlight projected by the air vents. Only then did everyone realize that Hirohito's face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. "How can we just ignore the chaos in Kyushu? The rebellion raised by the rebels  Don¡¯t all the ministers know the slogan? This scene is so similar to the situation in the 11th year of Showa. Shouldn¡¯t we take it as a warning?¡± The important ministers all lowered their heads.  "The national affairs are difficult, and I should take full responsibility. If necessary, no matter what, no matter what, I will just abdicate." Hirohito said word by word.  "Your Majesty, you can't." The ministers were shocked.  Kantaro Suzuki nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty, you can't do that. It is precisely because of the difficulty of the country that your Majesty needs to be in charge of the world. Your Majesty has been in power for so many years, and his civil and military skills have brought the empire to its peak. Even the late emperors and Emperor Meiji were only like this. Now they are just encountering some difficulties."  Frustration, your Majesty must not have such thoughts." Hirohito's eyes lit up and he stared at Kantaro Suzuki closely.  Suzuki Kantaro then said: "Prince Asaka Palace Hatohiko is just obsessed with martial arts and eager to make achievements, so he said those words. Your Majesty must not mind it." Hirohito snorted coldly, "I'm afraid he may not be in his heart.  That's what you think." Anami Weiki and Umezu Yoshijiro hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Army will definitely put down the Kyushu Rebellion as soon as possible, and we will never let others use this as an excuse to criticize Your Majesty." Hirohito looked at several important ministers.  He sighed softly and said, "Okay, the imperial meeting is over. It's just me and a few of you here. You don't have to hide it. If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Kantaro Suzuki exchanged glances with everyone.  , but no one spoke first.  Hirohito did not look at the crowd, but raised his eyes to look out the window, and continued muttering to himself: "To be honest, King Jiuyan is just a warrior. I would like to believe that he is being used by others, but what others said  Just remind me, there are other suitable people. " Hirohito's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting several important ministers in the room with stars in their eyes. They couldn't help but feel dizzy. Hirohito's words meant something.  He pointed out that several people could hear it clearly, but this was a family matter of the royal family. Once a minister expressed his opinion, there was no turning back.  Hirohito sighed softly, "It would be great if Lord Doihara was here, he would definitely give me a reasonable suggestion." Everyone had to turn their attention to the sweaty Prime Minister Suzuki Kantaro, Suzuki Kantaro was helpless  We could only reply: "Your Majesty, don't worry, those people are also under our control, nothing will happen to them." After saying this, Kantaro Suzuki felt that all the strength in his body was taken away in an instant, Emperor Hirohito  The only ones he was afraid of were his three younger brothers, Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito, Prince Chichibu Yoshihito, and Prince Mikasa Takahito. Takamatsu Nobuhito was a humble and kind-hearted person, and had a close relationship with the generals of the naval faction, but he did not deliberately cultivate his own power.  However, Mikasa Miya Takahito is a very active person. He has good relations with various political factions, has a wide network of contacts, and has a good reputation among the people. The most outstanding one is Chichibu Miya Takahito.  In the early years, Hirohito and the Queen gave birth to four children in a row.?daughter, all walks of life in the country regarded Yongren as the first heir. Moreover, Yongren was enthusiastic and dominated various activities of the royal family. In particular, he received strong support from the Emperor's Dao faction led by Araki Sadao, claiming that  The government must be abolished and all power should be vested in the emperor. Who this emperor refers to is very intriguing. Fortunately, Prince Akihito was born later, and Hirohito, who had been worried about the heir to the throne, breathed a sigh of relief, but what followed came one after another.  The February 26 incident made him break out in a cold sweat, and he almost lost his throne.  Therefore, during the years when he was in power, Hirohito closely monitored his younger brothers, while at the same time he was militaristic and continued to fight overseas. This was because of his inner mentality of desperately wanting to realize his own self-worth. He wanted to prove that Emperor Taisho was  There is nothing wrong with his choice. He is the emperor of the empire through the ages.  But things in the world often do not change according to people's will. The three northeastern provinces became trophies overnight and fell into the hands of the Japanese due to gambling. After that, there was the arrogance of "destroying China within three months." But now  Now, the Japanese army is precarious on all fronts, and even the country is beginning to be turbulent. All this has made Hirohito deeply doubtful of himself and fearful of the future, especially the slogans raised by the rioters, which once again tore apart his inner feelings.  With that wound, he began to turn his attention to his throne again.  Doihara Kenji was not an excellent general, but he was an outstanding intelligence officer. He used to take care of these private matters. Suzuki Kantaro only came into contact with some of them after he left office, including  Surveillance of several princes.  This time, Hirohito insisted on mentioning this matter in front of the important ministers, just to give these ministers who hold the most powerful power in the empire, and it is absolutely impossible to try to control both sides.  Looking at the submissive and cold sweat expressions of the important ministers, Hirohito felt very satisfied. As long as the government and the army were still under control, there would not be much of a problem.  "Have you confirmed the dispatch of the counter-insurgency troops to Kyushu?" Hirohito changed the topic.  Umezu Yoshijiro wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is confirmed that it is part of the 15th Division and has set off." Hirohito nodded with satisfaction, "I have decided to start the end war. Now we can negotiate peace with the allies, and we will definitely get it.  Under the most humiliating conditions, the imperial army is still capable of fighting. Even if the Allies want to land on the mainland, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. I just want to make the Allies aware of this, and then the best time to negotiate will be."  "Your Majesty is wise."  The footsteps of the ministers gradually disappeared. Kinoshita Michio, the deputy chief of staff beside Hirohito, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to see him now." Hirohito felt sore all over his body, and an indescribable sense of fatigue filled the air.  His whole body trembled, but he still nodded.  After a while, a figure walked into the room, and Kinoshita Michio closed the door from the outside.  Hirohito quietly looked at the man who slowly walked up to him and bowed to salute, and showed a smile, "Mr. Kodama Yukio, thank you for your hard work." Kodama Yukio raised his head, "I am serving your Majesty.  It's an honor." "Is there any news?" Hirohito asked eagerly.  Kodama Yoshio stood up straight, "I have contacted the American side, but so far they have not given a specific reply. They just urge us to accept unconditional surrender as soon as possible." Hirohito was a little disappointed. The result of the war was irreversible, but the foundation of the empire was  It must not be discarded. Once the unconditional surrender proposed by the Allies is accepted, it will become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others. Besides, although the Russian army has broken into Poland, the war in Europe is far from over. What just happened  The decision was right. The empire can still persevere. For the sake of the throne and for the sake of our descendants, we must persevere.  "What do they think about the questions I raised before?" Hirohito then asked.  "They also did not express their opinions. They are also observing. With all due respect, after the war, the United States and Russia will become the two newly rising powers in the world, and Asia will also become the place where they compete. Therefore, their respective Asia policies are also constantly changing.  During the adjustment, I believe that if they can put more effort into the US military's Asia policy, or become part of their Asia policy, maybe they will be interested in maintaining the emperor's status and system." "Yoshio Kodama said.  It was very direct and bold, and the recipient was surprised that a person with a gang background would have such a view. He really did not choose the wrong person in the first place.  Hirohito nodded thoughtfully. Kodama Yukio's words were very insightful and worth thinking about.  After a while, Yoshio Kodama spoke again, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report. The goods from Shanghai have arrived at the port again. Do they still need to be buried in the imperial family in Kanto?"Where is the library?  Hirohito nodded, "Let's do it this way. In addition, Lord Doihara made a suggestion to me. In view of the current war situation, the Golden Lily Project is coming to an end. The goods in China have almost been transported. Next,  I would also like to trouble you to take a trip to the Philippines, where the treasures of the entire Southeast Asian country are concentrated, and then I will have to trouble you to transport them all back to the mainland safely.  " Kodama Yuyoshio lowered his head fiercely, "Hey, I will do my best to serve His Majesty.  "
