Hideki Tojo, who took office earlier than in history, can be regarded as a supporter of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and he also launched a series of fake negotiations for Yamamoto's sneak attack plan in an attempt to deceive the US government.
Hideki Tojo was promoted to army general by the emperor, and he was ordered to serve as prime minister as an active military officer to form a cabinet and serve as land minister. This made his position much more consolidated than previous prime ministers, due to the increasingly bad relations between Japan and the United States, the Japanese emperor needed a landmine fool as a sign, and he finally chose the madman Hideki Tojo, and Tojo also consciously embarked on this step.
Hideki Tojo, who was born in a samurai family in Iwate Prefecture, Japan, has always been contemptuously called "Senior Soldier Tojo" by Ishihara, Japan's first soldier.
Tojo was a person who was very famous during his school days, and was called by the principal as "far from the first and second in grades, but the aggressive fight definitely counts as one of the best." After graduating from his military academy, he went to the Russo-Japanese battlefield to be gilded.
At that time, the Russo-Japanese War was nearing its end, and Japan's victory was decided, but Tojo did not participate in the actual combat operations, so he won the victory with the large army in a vague way.
As an army general and concurrently serving as the Minister of the Interior, Hideki Tojo has extremely huge power, and he has vaguely the name of "Tojo Shogunate".
Ironically, Yamamoto Isoroku's newly acquired Toyotomi surname has historically served as Sekihaku, the prime minister of Japan. Therefore, there is also a joke in the Japanese folk and political circles that "the army has a shogunate, and the navy has a white voice." ”
That's how it happened!
Indeed, as in history, Tojo was also known as the shogun by the Japanese high-ranking officials, that is, the "Tojo shogunate".
And Reinhardt's gift of Toyotomi by the Japanese emperor to fifty-six has flattened the political pattern between the Japanese army and navy by accident!
Fifty-six, who has the surname Toyotomi, naturally has more right to speak, and breaks the political pattern of Hideki Tojo's family, and saves a sentence for the Japanese Navy in the struggle with the army.
In addition, there are also great antagonisms and contradictions in the personal hobbies of Toyotomi Fifty-six and Tojo Hideki.
One of Tojo's biggest hobbies is to send people to check the garbage in the garbage bins every morning to see if anyone in the country eats big fish and meat. He judged those who had good food to be extravagant and wasteful when the country was in trouble. It can be said that Hideki Tojo is a thrifty to the point of perversion, not only thrifty himself, but also forcibly let the whole country be thrifty together.
Toyotomi Fifty-Six is different, in addition to his well-known identity as a gambler, he also has a big hobby, that is, he likes high-end luxury enjoyment.
While the Japanese Army was controlling its food and purchasing large quantities of cheap luncheon meat purchased by Germany, the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet was still eating and drinking at public expense, and its headquarters even enjoyed a puffer fish feast.
In this way, Hideki Tojo doesn't have to rummage through the trash cans, and the navy personnel under the fifty-six men are blatantly eating and drinking, so why bother judging yesterday's food through the trash cans.
Toyotomi Fifty-six didn't think there was anything wrong with it, he was treating his officers and soldiers well. If you want the navy soldiers to work hard, you have to give them good food and drink.
But Hideki Tojo, who has always been known for his stinginess, doesn't see it that way. In his eyes, Fifty-Six is simply a man who clearly wants to work against himself, pointing to the east, and Fifty-six will take the navy to the west.
The most annoying thing is that fifty-six, who was still ranked below him before, suddenly has a posture of being on an equal footing with himself, which makes Tojo Hideki's heart further unbalanced.
"Baga Ya Road! I've heard that the biggest reason why Yamamoto Isoroku was given the surname Toyotomi by the emperor was because of the intervention of the Germans. Sitting in his office, Hideki Tojo shouted unabashedly in front of a group of his staff.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is the Emperor's decision, and we have no power to change it. At this point, let's first find a way to prevent the further expansion of the navy's power. A tall, lanky man in a suit took the lead in persuading Tojo to be relieved.
"Block? How do I stop the Navy? After listening to the words of his subordinates, Hideki Tojo sneered rather disdainfully: "Even when I had the most power, I never interfered with the navy." Now Yamamoto ...... Toyotomi Fifty-Six is famous, and he has made a great contribution to the Pearl Harbor attack, how can I still interfere? ”
"This ......," the man under Tojo's hand couldn't answer. Hideki Tojo can be regarded as a righteous Japanese army faction after all, and they really rarely intervene in the Japanese Navy, which has always been at odds with the army. It is already very difficult for the two sides to maintain some basic cooperation.
You must know that the Navy has always looked down on the Army, and privately calls the Army "Red Deer." "The army has long been dissatisfied with the navy on this point.
The Japanese army and navy generals do not agree, and this is already a problem for two generations.
Among the older generation of Japanese generals, the Japanese Army preferred to use crowd tactics during the Russo-Japanese War rather than ask for naval support.
If the generals of the older generation of the Japanese Navy and Army mainly competed for the level of status, then the new generation of Japanese generals was more practical, and they competed for the right to distribute resources.
After all, Japan is a resource-poor country, and since its resources are limited, it is necessary to fight for the right to allocate resources.
Steel, oil and other resources are insufficient, and the army and navy need these resources.
The Japanese Army needed steel to build armored vehicles and tanks to fight on the road against the Asian side, and the Navy needed steel to build aircraft carriers and then fight the United States in the Pacific.
The two sides fought back and forth, and no one refused to suffer, which caused today's situation.
In fact, such a situation has also occurred in Germany, and the German top brass has also been very difficult whether to build ships or produce tanks.
However, Reinhardt solved this problem perfectly, on the one hand, he increased the import and productivity of steel and oil, and fundamentally increased the volume. On the other hand, the German army and navy no longer have a commander-in-chief, and Raeder and Catherine are only deputy commanders-in-chief and chief of the general staff.
Unlike the commanders of the Japanese Navy and Army, the commander-in-chief of the three German armies was Reinhardt himself, and he could not earn it himself.
"The Germans are so lenient that they have to meddle in the internal affairs of our Empire." Hideki Tojo's expression was a little disgusted, and he said very unhappily: "The same is true of the war, it's been almost 72 hours, and they have promised us a declaration of war against the United States, but it has not been released yet." ”
"Italians are still reliable," Hideki Tojo said here, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked a staff member next to him: "Is the Italian Foreign Ministry responding to us that Italy will complete the process of declaring war on the United States within today?" ”
