Chapter 80: The Showa Restoration (2)

In the conference room of the base camp, the voice was silent and the atmosphere was depressing, and everyone sat in their places, not knowing what to do.

Bad news came one after another: 3 days ago, Horikichi and Umezu Mijiro had a secret conversation, and although the content of the secret conversation was quickly mastered by Tokyo, what could it be if it was mastered, Horiyoshi was not afraid of the base camp knowing at all;

Two days earlier, Horiyoshi had issued a sea order, ordering the Hawaiian fleet to return - in more than 10 days, the main forces of the combined fleet would return home;

Yesterday, the news came clearly that the Southern Army and the Indian Army had agreed to Horikichi's request and were ready to formally put forward a peace bill with the United States, but everyone knew that the so-called bill against the United States was false, and the consensus reached with Hori Yiyoshi was true;

This morning, Okamura sent a telegram informing him of the idea of a new economic and industrial zone in southeast China, and that the army and navy would jointly organize some industries - a symbol of China's beginning to express its position;

Just five minutes earlier, they had received another telegram that Umezu Mijiro and Koiso Kuniaki had agreed to Hori's request to hold a seminar on the reduction of military spending and the adjustment of strategy.

Originally, everyone hoped that the Kwantung Army could wrestle with Hori Yiji, but they didn't expect that as soon as the bone of "northward advance" was thrown, the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army instantly lit up and didn't say anything.

"This batch of red deer ......" King Minoru Higashikuremiya was so angry that his teeth itched, "It's not that the northward march can't be discussed, but while the northward march, the troops have to be reduced, what does this mean?" When we are stupid to see? ”

"People don't think so...... Senior General Umezu said that the battle cannot be won by relying on a large number of troops. ”

"That's true...... Ishihara said with a wry smile, "The 8th was the day of the opening of the joint European exercise, and it was said that our observers were stupid - Marshal Guderian commanded 250,000 rapid reaction forces to complete the assembly in 48 hours, and then assaulted 170 kilometers in the East European Plain...... A place like Poland, which took more than a month six years ago, was only taken by the Soviet Union and Germany, and now it is enough for about a week, and the number of troops is only 700,000. ”

"The key is that the 700,000 military strength is twice as high as the planes and tanks owned by the original 2 million troops, and the key goal is to open the way for rockets, and there is no way to survive at all." Tada Jun sighed, "The key is that the casualties are still very small......"

"Hori-kun's tricks have all been sent, how can everyone take them?"

Yamamoto Fifty-six shook his head: "Don't ask me, I don't have any way, as long as Hori-kun is willing, I guarantee that the Navy Provincial Decree can not go out of the gate." ”

"Did he do that?"

"That's not true, but just because you don't do it doesn't mean you don't have the strength." Yamamoto Fifty-six had a faint smile on his face, "It's good to do things under Hori-kun, there has never been a time when the Military Command Department and the Navy Ministry have quarreled......"

"The point is that now the army and navy are starting to rip off." King Minoru Higashikurenomiya slapped the table, "Lay off 1 million troops in general, and then transfer all the troops from all over the country, Hori-kun really dares to think and dare to do it." ”

"Save the good and cut the bad, go to the rough and extract the fine......," Ishihara Wan'er muttered a few words, "The reason is really good, but what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"Your Majesty......" As soon as he heard the mention of Hirohito, King Minoru of the Higashikure Palace had a twitch on his face, this matter is getting bigger and bigger now, and he can't hide it, he has communicated with Hirohito twice, but every time he gets the hadith, it is confusing, even if the Minister of the Interior comes to explain in person and speaks "human words" he can't understand. The palace turned over and over in one sentence: All the ministers endure each other for the country......

"Actually, I agree with the reduction of military spending, and I have no opinion on moving the general army, but ......" King Minoru Higashikure didn't know what to say, Horikiyoshi's hand was too long, and he didn't say anything about it when he reached out to the army, but also instigated all the powerful factions in the army to unite and jointly set up an air hub, which made him very broken in his heart.

Ishihara Wan'er is also full of helplessness, he has not been a prince of the town guarding one side, so he does not have his own reliable subordinates, can only rely on the various departments to contain each other to maintain balance, originally played for more than 2 years are very good, and there is a gradual stabilization of the situation, I didn't expect Hori Yiji to play cards according to common sense at all, directly in the opposite direction, and the situation was destroyed all of a sudden.

Now that the situation is obvious, Horikichi has completed the layout, and is waiting for Tokyo to make a move: either it is the full agreement of the boat, so that everyone is hello and I am good, and the scene will be maintained like this; Either they are categorically opposed, but the problem is that the conditions and timing must be determined by categorical opposition, and now this scene is completely inadequate, just replacing a few generals in command, and it is necessary to reorganize and reorganize from above, how is this possible? It's too late.

Dealing with stress...... The crowd fell into deep thought.

ps: This chapter is slightly less, sorry, tomorrow to restore 3 more......
