When Zhao Zhi was busy arranging troops in Pingyao, far away from the sea in Japan, a conspiracy specifically targeting Zhao Zhi and Thunder was brewing, but unfortunately Zhao Zhi didn't know anything at this time, and he was still immersed in the tension of the upcoming enemy engagement.

"Your Majesty, the latest war report of the War Department, the imperial army failed in the operation of Zhongtiao Mountain in the west of the Chinese mountains, the troops of the Chinese people have cut off the road for transporting supplies from Hebei and Shandong into Shanxi, and the imperial troops stationed in Shanxi are currently preparing to withdraw due to the lack of ammunition supplies" Emperor Hirohito knew from the time Konoe Fumima entered the gate that nothing good happened. These ministers, when there are good and happy events, they have to report at the imperial meeting or on occasions with a large number of people, and it is definitely not a good thing to run alone in a panic like this to report it.

When Emperor Hirohito and Empress Ryoko had just eaten, they drank two taels of sake, and there was still a hint of flushing on their faces. At this moment, the flush instantly swelled, the whole face became red and lost, and the eyes seemed to be bloodshot. Empress Liangzi, who was busy making tea, saw that her husband's face was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Please cherish your body."

After all, Emperor Hirohito has received a strict education, and since he was a child, he has paid great attention to maintaining imperial etiquette and the mystery of the emperor, and as soon as Empress Ryoko reminded him, he immediately woke up to the fact that the emperor of the Japanese Empire, the descendant of Amaterasu, and the god who is different from mortals, is impossible to lose his temper, which will make these guys see that the emperor is also an ordinary man. Emperor Hirohito stabilized his mind for a while, and the burning sensation on his face gradually disappeared, and then he asked, "Do the chief of the general staff and the prime minister know about this matter?" ”

Konoe Funma originally thought that His Majesty the Emperor must be a thunderbolt, but he didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would not have a big thunder, so he just asked these two sentences lightly, and thought to himself, His Majesty the Emperor is worthy of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is not easy for him to maintain an elegant demeanor and a good mood for such a major and embarrassing matter. Seeing that Emperor Hirohito asked two words tepidly, Konoe Fumima hurriedly handed over the transcribed front-line battle report and asked His Majesty the Emperor to preview it.

Although Emperor Hirohito pretended to be calm, he actually had the intention of killing people in his heart. Think about it, ten days ago, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hatata, accepted his summons and promised him that he would immediately carry out the Nakajo Mountain plan. Once the Zhongtiao Mountain plan is implemented, the government army entrenched in Shanxi will be surrounded and routed by more than 100,000 imperial troops, and the imperial army will take the opportunity to occupy the entire territory of Shanxi.

Emperor Hirohito took the victory or defeat of the Nakajo Mountain operation very lightly, and he was obsessed with the face of the Great Japanese Empire. Therefore, one of the things he often says is that the key is not what we do, but what the world powers think of what we do. After reading the transcript of the front-line battle report, Emperor Hirohito's face had also turned from flushed to pale, and he asked lightly, "What are the chief of the general staff and the land minister doing?" ”

Konoe Fumima hurriedly reported, "The Chief of the General Staff and the Minister of Land are waiting outside the Matsuno Pavilion for His Majesty to be summoned urgently. ”

Emperor Hirohito glanced at Empress Ryoko, thought for a moment and said, "Then summon at Matsunokaku" After arriving at Matsunokaku, Emperor Hirohito summoned Prince Zaihito Miyaji, the chief of the General Staff, and Sugimoto, the prime minister of the army. Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace, worthy of being the chief of the General Staff, brought all the front-line battle reports sent by the commander of the North China Front, Okamura Ninji, and prepared to present them to His Majesty the Emperor.

Empress Ryoko was not around, and Emperor Hirohito's mentality was not as stable as just now, and the anger in his heart surged up to the top of his head in waves, and he directly threw the telegram to the ground, and the words in his tone were filled with endless mockery and resentment, "Earl Terauchi, Sugi Motoriku, look, look, the plan that the empire has planned for more than half a year has failed like this."

Emperor Hirohito was thinking about face. Prince Zaihito of the Idle Palace and Sugi Sugimoto considered the true intentions of the Nationalist Government. Therefore, after listening to Emperor Hirohito's whining words, Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace played, "Your Majesty, the Nakajo Mountain plan seems to have failed, but the Imperial Army in Shanxi still has the upper hand, and the Imperial Army has been squeezed into the mountainous area of southern Shanxi by the Imperial Army, in fact, the Imperial Army's operation in the Nakajo Mountain in China this time is quite successful, at least it has played a role in the expansion of the control area."

The Japanese army Lu Xiang Shanshan Yuan was the first person to shout out the destruction of China in three months, and he was also a representative of the victory theory. This old devil, who usually looks ignorant, is actually a guy with a very resolute will to invade China. Shanshanyuan knelt down on his legs and reported to duty, "Your Majesty, the reason why the Zhongtiao Mountain operation failed was completely caused by Thunder Thunder playing tricks in secret, and Thunder seized the opportunity that the elite division of the Zhina Army stationed in Shanxi could not be withdrawn on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain, and took the opportunity to wreak havoc in the eastern Jindong region and intercept the supply line."

Emperor Hirohito asked coldly, "When the War Department formulated Operation Nakajoyama, didn't the Army report that the Thunder had been shrinking in Shobu Prefecture?" Why did the Nakajo Mountain operation fail, and you judged that it was the Thunder troops who were sabotaging the supply line? I remember that the last time you reported, you said that the army had deployed strong forces on the front line of Jindong and built a blockade line. Could it be that the army's blockade line is all paper paste? ”

Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace replied stubbornly, "Your Majesty, Thunder said that it is an international mercenary, but in fact, it is essentially a rogue army, similar to bandits, accustomed to deception, and their weapons and equipment are much stronger than the imperial army, in terms of firepower, our imperial army suffers."

Before Prince Zaihito could finish speaking, Emperor Hirohito slapped the table and rebuked, "Bastard, are there still fewer warriors of the imperial army who died in the hands of that mysterious thunderbolt?" Do you dare to say that the Thunder is a bandit unit, and that bandits can defeat the well-equipped and well-trained Japanese Army units? With an idea like yours, commanding an army in battle will inevitably underestimate the enemy, and how can it be justified in being invincible? ”

Prince Zairen's gray beard trembled, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were dense, but what he wanted to say had to be said. As soon as the emperor's reprimand was over, Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace continued, "Although it is not yet known how Thunder's troops went to Jindong from Shomu County, the failure of this operation in Nakajo Mountain shows that Thunder used their fighter forces. In the entire battlefield west of the station, only Thunder has aviation training, please Your Majesty to check out"

"It's this damn thunder again," Emperor Hirohito smacked on the table in anger, and on his birthday in April, several days of bombing on the Japanese mainland turned out to be related to it. In the bomb attack that lasted for several days, the attackers used not only bombs, but also powerful incendiary bombs, after the attack, more than half of the ports in the whole of Japan were damaged, and almost all the military ports had to be repaired before they could be put into use, fortunately the Imperial Navy still had ports in Southeast Asian countries, otherwise the ships of the Imperial Navy would not even have a place to dock and rest.

"Don't you already know that Thunder is in Zhangwu County, Shanxi? Can't we send our fighter planes to blow up there? "Emperor Hirohito only has itchy teeth of hatred for thunder, although he is the emperor of Japan, but the matter of war still has to be assigned and planned by the staff headquarters and the military department, and he, the emperor, only has the right to suggest.

"Your Majesty, you said that you sent fighter troops to bomb Zhangwu County, we have also tried, but Thunder has built Zhangwu County into a war fortress, Thunder not only has tens of thousands of troops in Zhangwu County, but also built an airport in Zhangwu County, where a lot of anti-aircraft artillery fire is arranged, our fighters have not yet reached the sky over Zhangwu County, they were beaten down by their air defense artillery and fighters, and Shanxi is an inland province, if the naval carrier-based aircraft from Wuhan carry the fuel for the return trip, Their combat effectiveness is less than half of that of peacetime, and such air combat strength will not work at all against Shomu Prefecture," Prince Zaihito answered Emperor Hirohito's question truthfully.

"That's like the Nakajo Mountain operation, sending infantry to besiege Shomu County, I don't believe that the imperial army can't beat the thunder" Emperor Hirohito began to play a childish temper, in his consciousness, the army of the Great Japanese Empire is the first in the world, at this time Emperor Hirohito completely forgot that he had just scolded Prince Zaihito for not facing the thunder's combat effectiveness, and he had already made the same mistake as Prince Zaihito at this time.

"Your Majesty, this is a plan specially formulated by us for Thunder" Prince Zairen adjusted his breathing and handed over the action plan just formulated by the General Staff Headquarters, "The behind-the-scenes boss of Thunder is a Chinese named Zhao Zhi, and the intelligence of the special high class shows that this person is a melee expert, and all the actions of Thunder are formulated by this person, as long as Zhao Zhi is eliminated, Thunder is no different from other Chinese rebels, our plan of action is specifically for Zhao Zhi"

Emperor Hirohito didn't speak, just carefully looked at the action plan formulated by the General Staff Headquarters, the opinion of the General Staff Headquarters was to buy Zhao Zhi with money and beauty first or directly open conditions to surrender, if Zhao Zhi was not interested, then the General Staff Headquarters would send high-level ninjas from the mainland to infiltrate Shanxi to assassinate Zhao Zhi, as long as Zhao Zhi died, the thunder entrenched in Zhangwu County was not the opponent of the imperial army at all.

"Then do it, if the General Staff Headquarters needs it, I can send a few ninjas from the Yasukuni Shrine to participate in the assassination operation" Emperor Hirohito's words made Prince Zaihito overjoyed, the ninjas in the Yasukuni Shrine are not comparable to the ninjas in the General Staff Headquarters, and if the assassination of Zhao Zhi can really get the assistance of the Yasukuni Shrine ninjas, that damn Zhao Zhi will definitely not escape death.
