Chapter 188: The Face of the Royal Family
At the same time, in the NHK radio station headquarters building in Tokyo.
Early in the morning, Ken Terashima, the director of the news channel's editorial office, came to the door of the editor-in-chief's office, knocked on the door a few times, and then said, "Editor-in-chief Eguchi, are you looking for me?" ”
"Terashima-kun?" A voice came from inside, "Come on in." ”
Ken Terashima moved the wooden door to the side, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the editor-in-chief, Heiya Eguchi, was on the phone.
Eguchi Heiya gestured to Ken Terashima, motioning for him to wait for a while and then continue the conversation, and Ken Terashima tiptoed to the large table and stood with his hands down.
Soon, however, Eguchi ended the call.
Eguchi Heiya couldn't hide the excitement in his expression, and said, "Terashima-kun, do you know whose phone call it was just now?" ”
Of course, Ken Terashima didn't know, but before he could answer, Eguchi Taira also revealed the mystery: "High-ranking officials in the palace!" ”
"Nani? High-ranking officials in the palace? Ken Terashima was dumbfounded, "Eguchi-kun, are you saying that it was His Excellency Matsudaira, a high-ranking official in the palace, who spoke to you just now?" ”
"That's right." Eguchi Heiya said, "Your Excellency Matsudaira also gave us an exciting news, saying that it was our temporary increase in the voice of the battlefield this morning, and His Majesty the Emperor also listened to it, and he was very satisfied!" ”
"Nani?" Ken Terashima's face showed excitement, and he said, "His Majesty the Emperor also listened to our radio?" ”
Eguchi Taira nodded and said, "His Majesty the Emperor not only listened to this broadcast, but also specially asked the Imperial Household Ministry to inform us that we must continue to follow up and report on the glorious achievements of the 'Glorious Ten Hour Brigade' to all the people of Japan!" Terashima-kun, the people of the empire need such good news so much, and the Great Japanese Empire needs such exciting good news so much! ”
"Hello!" Ken Terashima was already trembling with excitement, and there was only one strong bow left.
"So." Eguchi Heiya said again, "Terashima-kun, your editorial office must act as soon as possible!" ”
"Hello!" Terashima Kenton was the first to say, "Eguchi-kun, our editing room is working overtime all night tonight!" ”
After a pause, Ken Terashima said again: "However, Eguchi-kun, the base camp still needs your personal contact. ”
"There's no problem with this!" Eguchi Heiya said, "I'll call Shimomura-kun, the chief of operations of the staff headquarters of the base camp, and ask him to arrange for someone to connect with your editorial office." ”
After saying that, Eguchi Heiya picked up the phone again.
shook it, and then said a sentence to take over the staff headquarters of the base camp.
After a while, the phone was connected, and Eguchi Heiya said with a respectful face: "Is it Your Excellency Shimomura?" I'm Heiya Eguchi, editor-in-chief of NHK Radio, and I've just received instructions from the Ministry of Miyagi to follow up on the 'Glorious Ten O'clock Brigade', and I hope you can help. ”
Ken Terashima's face also showed a look of great anticipation.
But soon, the look of anticipation on Ken Terashima's face was gone.
Because Ken Terashima found out, Eguchi Heiya's face suddenly fell.
Ken Terashima thought to himself, is the General Staff Headquarters unwilling to help? It shouldn't be!
After a while, Eguchi Heiya put down the phone, and Ken Terashima asked, "Eguchi-kun, what did Your Excellency Shimomura say?" ”
Eguchi Heiya waved his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Terashima-kun, have you scheduled a replay of Voice of the Battlefield at noon today?" ”
"Hello!" Kentoshi Terashima said, "Not only at noon, but even the evening replay has been arranged. ”
"Canceled, the replay at noon and at night will all be canceled!" Eguchi Heiya said, "If there is also a war declaration day, don't record it for the time being, let's pause!" ”
"Nani? Cancel?! Ken Terashima said incredulously, "Eguchi-kun, why is that?" ”
Eguchi Heiya sighed and said, "The General Staff Headquarters has just reported to us a very bad news that the 'Glorious Ten Hour Brigade' that was given the name by His Majesty the Emperor was shattered not long ago! ”
'Nani?' The glorious Ten O'clock Brigade's collective jade is shattered?! Ken Terashima opened his mouth wide.
Moments later, Ken Terashima woke up like a dream and hurriedly left the editor-in-chief's office, rushing to cancel the upcoming replay.
However, Ken Terashima also knows very well that even if the rebroadcast at noon and evening is canceled, this morning's program has already been broadcast, and the impact has been caused!
At this time, there must have been many listeners who already knew about the "Glorious Ten Hour Brigade"
So for now, let's think about how to clean up the mess, right? How to clean up the mess.
……
At the same time, Emperor Hirohito was also furious at the Imperial Palace.
"Sugiyama-kun! Tada-kun! And Shimomura-kun! Hirohito said angrily with a blushing face, "The program of NHK radio has been broadcast, the news has spread throughout the country, and now the people of the whole empire have known about the 'Glorious Ten Hour Brigade', you still have to think about how to clean up this mess!" ”
Minister of War Sugiyama Moto, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Headquarters of the Base Camp Tada Jun, and Director of the War Department Shimomura Ding, all hung their heads and did not say a word.
At this time, whoever speaks is unlucky.
Seeing that several ministers refused to squeak, Hirohito became more and more angry.
"Speak, you speak!" Hirohito said angrily, "Aren't you usually quite able to talk? ”
Seeing that he really couldn't hide, Shimomura Ding stubbornly said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, there is a way that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the glorious 10 o'clock brigade was completely annihilated by the Chinese army in Nanjing, this news is indeed regrettable, but as long as it is explained clearly to the people, I believe there will be no problems, and it will not affect morale!" ”
"Shimomura-kun, that's a really good point!" Hirohito glared at Shimomura viciously, and his eyes almost wanted to erupt with fire.
Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, this is true, it is nothing to lose only one infantry brigade, and the Japanese Empire can be reorganized into a hundred or even a thousand infantry brigades with a turn, but the question is, where to put the face of the imperial family?
I just gave the name here, and the backhand made people annihilate, this is a slap in the face of the royal family!
Could it be that the face of the Imperial Family of the Great Japanese Empire was so worthless? I'm Hirohito so easy to bully?
Seeing that Shimomura was going to be deflated, Tada Jun almost burst into laughter, and immediately puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, if you want to recover the impact now, there is only one way!" ”
Hirohito said angrily: "What way?" ”
"Find out the branch of the army that ambushed the Ten Hour Brigade and annihilate it brutally and completely!" After a pause, Tada continued, "Moreover, this battle will be broadcast live to the entire empire and even the whole world through NHK radio, and we will use this battle to tell everyone who dares to be enemies of the imperial army, the empire, and the imperial family that the Imperial Army of Great Japan cannot be humiliated, the Imperial Japanese Empire cannot be humiliated, and the Imperial Family of Great Japan cannot be disgraced!" ”
"Yo Xi!" Hirohito nodded happily.
