"This is really not caused by Takashimasuke and the others." In the imperial annex of Fujisawa Castle in Kanagawa Prefecture, Yoshihito of Chichibu Palace asked his head of bodyguard Daisaku Nakata in confusion. Daisaku Nakata shook his head affirmatively, "Takashima-kun has explained that this is not their handiwork. I don't think he will deceive His Highness." News of the turmoil in Kyushu also reached Yong Ren's ears. In an instant, he He even doubted whether this was the gospel given to him by God. His years of house arrest were wiped out by Takashima Suke's words, and the turmoil in Kyushu completely made Yong Ren's heart boil. Chaoxiang Gong Jiuyan's jumping up and down made Yongren very sure that he had indeed broken his head in the car accident. Does this crazy guy think he still has a chance to touch the highest position? Compared with Yongren, Xuanren, The three Chongren brothers kept a low profile, and Jiuyan didn't even know what forbearance was. What he did in the dispatched army made Matsui Iwane and other senior generals full of complaints about him. Later, in order to quell the dissatisfaction among the army, Emperor Hirohito transferred him back to his homeland. Unexpectedly, he did not learn from these at all. Having learned lessons from experience, he couldn't wait to jump out whenever there was any disturbance. Did he think that Hirohito would still be able to let him take charge of the military? Compared with these things, what Yong Ren is most concerned about is a rumor that suddenly appeared recently. It was said to be a rumor, but it was serious. It spread throughout the cities and towns in Guandong in an instant. I heard that many versions have appeared among the people, but The general content is the same. Emperor Hirohito is quietly negotiating with the Americans. The content of the negotiations is: regarding the future continuation of the emperor system in Japan and the protection of the interests of the royal family. However, the emperor¡¯s negotiator is neither a soldier nor an important government official. But a powerful figure in the Black Dragon Society, Kodama Yuyoshio. Upon hearing the news, Yong Ren's first reaction was what his imperial brother wanted to do. On the one hand, he called on the military and civilians across the country to launch a final war and defend the homeland at all costs. On the other hand, he was engaged in private negotiations with the Americans. Transaction, it is obvious that Hirohito himself is not optimistic about the battle to encircle the mainland. Is this used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Americans? Countless civilian casualties are exchanged for the interests of the royal family and even himself. In this way The news is noisy in the dust, where does it put the face of the royal family. Yong Ren could confirm the authenticity of this news in his heart, because even if he were sitting in that position, he would probably face the same choice, not to mention, the specific contact person was directly named in the message, Kodama Yu Yoshio, as early as a few years ago, Yong Ren had learned that Emperor Hirohito had formed a secret team with the royal family as the core, which had been active in the occupied area. The specific mission was unknown. Yong Ren guessed that the mission of these people was It is to seek benefits for Hirohito, and the Black Dragon Society is also the most important link. This also proves that those involved in this plan are the most secretive forces that Hirohito personally controls. But who leaked these top secrets? Could it be Takashima Jie? Yong Ren immediately thought of the Huangdao Sect, but since they denied it, Yong Ren was convinced of it. Yong Ren knew that there was no need for Takashima Jie and others to deceive him, not to mention, This incident in itself seems to have questioned the majesty of Emperor Hirohito, but the royal family will definitely be affected by this. What's more, he is also a member of the royal family. Takashimasuke and the others will not recklessly do such things that are harmful to others. Self-interested things. These things in front of him were like a mist shrouding Yongren's heart. The impact on Hirohito did not make Yongren feel much joy. Yongren was keenly aware that behind all the things, including what had once caused him The unexplainable turmoil in Kyushu seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand. What worried him was that he still couldn't tell whether it was good or bad for him, and if it continued to develop, it would soon become difficult for him to do so. There may be a danger of losing control. "Tell Takashimasuke to investigate the Kyushu affairs and these rumors. I always have a bad feeling." After sitting there for a long time, Yong Ren ordered Nakata Daisaku. ¡ Hirohito¡¯s life was also difficult. The matter in Kyushu had not been resolved, and the unfavorable situation of the war had not changed. At this time, so many rumors suddenly appeared. Hirohito knew very well in his heart that these were not rumors, but real facts. The people who created these rumors were very clear about the negotiation process between him and the Americans, including the key figure among them, Kodama Yukio. He didn't even tell his most loyal eagle dog Doihara Kenji. Japan has been coveting China's land and resources for a long time. After the Sino-Japanese War, Japan was shocked by the huge dividends brought by this war, and was also deeply attracted by the rich resources and sky-high wealth of this ancient country. Senior government and military leaders The plan to attack China has been deduced more than once, but it was not until the September 18th Incident that Japan really took the initiative to attack.Cut down. After that, Hirohito secretly convened a group of family children who had close relations with the royal family, and began to gather for secret training, crazy learning about Chinese culture and historical knowledge. At the same time, he ordered the Black Dragon Society and the Yixiang Sect to send a large number of scholars and monks with various methods. Entering China is under the guise of admiring Chinese culture, but in fact it is to explore China's folk wealth and various precious cultural relics. Overall, this operation, which spanned more than five years, was extremely successful. To give a simple example, you can see how successful these operators were in infiltrating China. When the city of Nanjing was broken, Shinichi Yazawa also participated in the plan of the Special Gendarmerie. At that time, he was still an inconspicuous officer, but it was during this operation that he shined, and he gradually entered the Special Gendarmerie China. At the core of the plan, he had a detailed list in his hands at that time, including the cultural relics in the Nanjing National Museum, various assets that the National Government had not had time to transfer, the personal properties of Nanjing gang leaders, and the personal properties of Nanjing's industrial and commercial celebrities. , the personal properties of Nanjing officials and the private collections of all these people, and of course the list of precious items in the major monasteries in Nanjing. In other words, as long as the Special Gendarmerie took this list and followed the map to search for and ransack the houses one by one, they would be able to gain a lot. In this way, the Special Gendarmerie launched the plunder of Nanjing without any bloodshed and with a strong purpose. This is just a city in Nanjing. Through years of plunder, Hirohito's imperial treasure house has accumulated to a staggering extent. Of course, he is not all doing it to satisfy his own whispers. As the supreme leader of Japanese Shintoism and the supreme leader of all Japanese people, he knows very well that Japan Where are the shortcomings, Hirohito was also prepared for the possible failure of the war. With this wealth, even if the Japanese Empire was defeated, it could rise rapidly again within ten or twenty years. After the situation began to become unfavorable, Hirohito thought of the Golden Lily Plan. He decisively stopped the plan, ordered the Special Military Police to immediately stop their current activities, withdraw to the mainland in batches, and ordered Kodama Yuyoshio to withdraw from the Southeast Asian countries. A large amount of gold was plundered and then concentrated in the Philippines and transported back to the mainland, because this gold can now be put to use. As the core of the allies and the main opponent they are facing now, Hirohito noticed the strength of the United States. It can be said that the navy did not completely fail at the military level. The more reason was that it lost to the strong and terrifying industrial strength of the United States. The U.S. military is the main force in the Pacific and Asian battlefields. If it wants to obtain the maximum post-war benefits in a failed situation, it must deal with the Americans. For this reason, Hirohito ordered Kodama Yukio to contact the U.S. intelligence system. In order to To protect his status and interests, Hirohito did not hesitate to use huge sums of money to impress the Americans. In fact, Hirohito was still very cautious. He did not contact the Americans through the Japanese intelligence system, but through the outsider Kodama Yuyoshio. Kodama Yuyoshio was the backbone of the Japanese Black Dragon Society and a personal friend of Hirohito. If he comes forward, even if the matter is exposed, the royal family will not be involved. But now, the news has completely leaked out. The secrets between Kodama Yoshio, the royal family and the emperor have been revealed to the world in an instant. Hirohito feels extremely passive. He can imagine that his prestige is facing the challenge of continuing. The biggest challenge since taking office. The civil and military ministers came one after another, all of them tactfully exploring the authenticity of this matter. It can be seen from their expressions that they had believed most of these rumors, but Hirohito couldn't explain it, and he couldn't explain it. You know, now it's mud that fell into your crotch, it's either shit or shit. At this time, the more you explain, the more guilty you become. There are only two answers to who leaked his secret. One is Japan and the other is the United States. As for Hirohito, only Hirohito and Kodama Yukio have access to this secret. In this discussion, even the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Chief of Guards were excluded. The possibility of leaking secrets was extremely low. Then there were the Americans, whose side was very likely. Thinking of the stupid behavior of the Americans, Hirohito couldn't help but hate it, but he had no choice. He even wondered whether the Americans leaked the news deliberately to cause chaos in Japan and make it more conducive for them to land on the Japanese island. Various speculations filled Hirohito's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh. The loyal deputy guard Kinoshita Michio appeared behind Hirohito like a ghost, "Your Majesty, the person you are looking for has arrived." Hirohito's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his head. , "Are you here? I want to see him immediately." Kinoshita Michio bowed, "I have arranged for him to stay in the side hall. At this time, he is not suitable for public appearances." Hirohito quickly stood up and trotted through the corridor. and two courtyards, to the side hall of the palace. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?There was no electric light, and no candles were lit. As the door opened, the sun shone into the room, and a short figure could be vaguely seen standing by the window, but his whole body was covered in a black cloak. . Hirohito looked back at Kinoshita Michio. Kinoshita understood and immediately closed the door from the outside, leaving only the light coming through the gap in the window. The figure in a black cloak stepped forward, stopped five steps in front of Hirohito, and saluted respectfully. Hirohito's voice was a little trembling, "Ai Qing is back, I, I'm in big trouble." The shadow lowered his head, "I have never left, and my appearance this time is just to solve the problem for Your Majesty."
