Yokosuka Naval Base was originally an important base of the Japanese Navy in the old Japanese period, but now, after the fall of the Empire to Japan, it has taken over the Yokosuka Naval Base, making it an important base for the North Pacific of the Empire.

When the huge battleship Teiyu, which looked like a hill floating on the sea, arrived at Yokosuka Naval Base, martial law was already in place. A regiment of marines controls the entire naval base tightly, and no one is allowed to approach or enter the naval base. Marshal Shi Deshan, the Imperial Governor in Japan, and General Cai Songpo, Commander of the 1st Army of the Imperial Army, arrived at the base early in the morning to wait.

The Imperial Guards disembarked from the battleship 'Emperor Yu' and took over the defense of the docks. Then, Zhao Hu, the chief of the guard, walked out of the cabin first, and then came down the gangway. After that, the emperor Wu Haoxuan, accompanied by Marshal Chen Xudong, walked down the gangway. Marshal Shi Deshan and General Cai Songpo immediately greeted him.

"The minister knocks to see His Majesty the Emperor." Marshal Shi Deshan and General Cai Songpo saluted Wu Haoxuan.

"Marshal Shi, General Cai, you have worked hard." Wu Haoxuan said with a smile. The two of them were obviously working hard to defend Japan.

"Your Majesty, these are all things that ministers should do. For the sake of the empire's strength, if we work hard, it will be nothing. Marshal Shi Deshan said. Wu Haoxuan was able to inspect Japan at this time, which is undoubtedly an affirmation of their work.

After some pleasantries, Wu Haoxuan left the Yokosuka Naval Base in the car prepared by Marshal Shi Tokuyama and headed for the Governor's Palace in Tokyo. Along the way, you will often encounter neat convoys or horse teams passing by. In order to ensure Wu Haoxuan's safety, the 1st Army of the Imperial Army sent a lot of people on the journey from Yokosuka Naval Base to Tokyo.

The car that Wu Haoxuan was riding, in addition to him and the driver, was Marshal Shi Deshan and General Cai Songpo. Marshal Shi Deshan sat in the back seat with Wu Haoxuan, and General Cai Songpo sat in the co-pilot seat. This is a bulletproof car specially produced by the Imperial Arsenal, the site of the wheeled armored car used, the body is also thick armor, and even the glass is the latest high-strength bulletproof glass. The defense of the whole car is very strong. In their line, there were five such bulletproof cars, and the second car that Wu Haoxuan and the others were riding. The five identical cars also make it possible for those who intend to attack not to know which car the target is sitting in, so that they can further ensure safety.

Through the car window, Wu Haoxuan can see the scenery along the way. Originally, this area was the most important industrial area in Japan. However, most of those factories were destroyed in the fighting. The naval guns of the Imperial Navy, and later street fighting, blew the industrial area into ruins. Although, it's been a year. However, none of the ruins have been cleared, let alone recovered.

"War is indeed the easiest way to destroy civilization. It used to be the largest industrial area in Japan, but now it is like this. Wu Haoxuan said with emotion. The main industrial areas of the empire, also mostly concentrated in the coastal areas. If the Empire is not able to strengthen its defenses and lose in future wars, then it is very likely that the industrial areas of the Empire will become like this.

"Yes, Your Majesty. By the time we conquered Tokyo, almost all of Tokyo had been blown to the ground. Even after a year of restoration, many places are still in ruins. However, it is also inevitable. If we hadn't destroyed the industrial area here, the war between us and the Japanese would have to go on for a long time, and it would have cost the empire even more. Marshal Shi Deshan said. It would be better to blow up Japanese cities to ruins and let the Japanese die more than to kill some soldiers in the empire.

"Your Majesty, when you were in school in Tokyo, it was the most prosperous city in the Far East. The minister's original ambition was that the empire would one day become as powerful as Japan. Unexpectedly, the empire is now even extinct in Japan, which is really beyond the expectations of the ministers! Admiral Cai Songpo said. He graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, together with Marshal Jiang Baili and General Zhang Yunnong, and was known as the Three Masters of Non-commissioned Officers. Now there were three of them, one of whom became the Imperial Field Marshal and took charge of the General Staff. The two became generals of the Imperial Army and served as commanders of the group army, which can be described as the most powerful young Zhuang faction of the new generation of the Imperial Army.

Wu Haoxuan and Marshal Shi Deshan were silent for a while. Indeed, the empire has grown faster than everyone expected. At the beginning, when they started an uprising in Kyrgyzstan, Japan was their worst enemy. In order to defeat the Japanese intervention forces at that time, they threw almost all their forces into the battle against Japan. Fortunately, in that battle, the Imperial Army won. After that, the empire was out of control, not only quickly unified China, but also won successive foreign wars, becoming one of the most powerful countries in the world.

"After the Meiji Restoration, Japan escaped the fate of enslavement from the West and gradually became the most powerful country in the Far East. This is indeed very admirable. However, the rise of the Japanese is standing on the blood and tears of China, which is unacceptable. The original purpose of our defeat of Japan was nothing more than to save our country. Now, it is because the country's development is like a boat sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. If we don't move forward, we will fall behind other countries. If you fall behind, you will be beaten! In order to avoid that kind of suffering, we can only make the empire stronger. It is better for the empire to invade other countries than for the empire to be invaded by other countries. Wu Haoxuan said.

Marshal Shi Deshan and Admiral Cai Songpo both nodded heavily, this was also their goal.

"Before, we always said that the Far East was too small to accommodate two powers. The Chinese Empire and Japan can only exist one. Fortunately, we won this war, and the Japanese were knocked down by us, and we could step on the corpses of the Japanese, go farther, and climb higher. Now, however, it seems that the world is just as small. If the Chinese Empire wants to become a world hegemon, it must defeat other powers. Therefore, we need to continue to work hard to defeat other powers in future wars. As long as this strategic objective is not achieved, we cannot afford to relax. Wu Haoxuan continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty. In future wars, we will definitely be able to defeat other powers. Marshal Shi Deshan and Admiral Cai Songpo both said firmly.

In the Imperial Governor's Palace, four people, Saionji Konobo, Hara Kei, Wakatsuki Reijiro, and Hamaguchi Yukio, were waiting here. They were informed early in the morning by the Governor's Mansion that they had something important to see them. However, after they arrived at the Governor's Palace, they had been waiting for two or three hours, but Marshal Shi Deshan was nowhere to be seen. This made Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and others feel a little anxious. After all, they are also very busy with official business now. Everyone has a lot of work to do, and if they waste too much time here, they'll probably have to work overtime at night.

"My lord, what the hell is going on? Why is there no sign of the Governor? Yukio Hamaguchi asked. After waiting for a few hours, the tea was drunk, which made him a little impatient.

"Wait, Your Excellency Governor must have other important matters to deal with, just wait with peace of mind." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

"My lord, could this be some kind of accident?" Yuan Jing said with some concern.

"Accidents? Rest assured, how can there be an accident? The empire's current rule in Japan is impregnable, and there will be no problems. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said. Unless the United States is now at war with the Empire, no one will be able to shake the Empire's rule.

"My lord, I mean, is the marshal a little dissatisfied with us. Otherwise, how could they have left us hanging for so long? Rejiro Wakatsuki said.

"We are loyal to the Empire, so how can the Marshal be dissatisfied with us? Don't think about it. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

Half an hour later, Marshal Shi Deshan's lieutenant walked in, his face excited, as if he had encountered something that made him very happy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the marshal told you to go to the office." The adjutant said.

"Okay." The public hope of Xiyuan Temple immediately took possession, and Yuan Jing and others also followed.

Soon, they came to the door of Marshal Shi Deshan's office, and at the signal of the adjutant, they walked in. They then saw a young man sitting in the position that originally belonged to Marshal Shi Deshan, with a smile on his face. Marshal Shi Deshan and Marshal Cai Songpo stood on either side of him, their faces serious.

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and the others were stunned for a moment, what is going on? How can anyone dare to sit in the position of Marshal Shi Deshan? What's more, he's still so young. They all guessed the identity of the young man.

Wu Haoxuan is only 39 years old now, and because of good maintenance, he looks as if he is in his early thirties.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is His Majesty the Emperor." Marshal Shi Deshan said.

"The Emperor...... His Majesty the Emperor? Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and the others all widened their eyes, completely unable to believe that the Emperor would suddenly appear in front of them.

"Minister Ximen Gongwang, knock to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple suddenly knelt on the ground and saluted Wu Haoxuan.

Yuan Jing and the others also hurriedly knelt down and saluted, their hearts were so shocked, their minds were also dizzy, they couldn't believe everything in front of them.

"Get up, I already knew about you. You've done a good job, and I'm clear about your loyalty to the Empire. Wu Haoxuan said.

The emperor's affirmation suddenly made Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and others very established, and they had a feeling of flattery. (To be continued.) )
