Volume 5 History of Heavy Trees Chapter 807 Fooling the Regent of Hirohito

Hidetake Sato is the most outstanding spy trained by the National Defense Force, and only four people know his true identity, except for Wang Maoru, Gao Jianou, director of the Military Intelligence Department, Qiao Kanying, director of the Second Division of the Military Intelligence Department, and the last one is Suzuki Shisanro, a one-line liaison with Li Muhan.

As Li Muhan's identity became more and more important in the Japanese government, his identity became more and more absolutely secret, so when Wang Maoru saw the "Sato Report", he was slightly surprised, and he was surprised that it was not Li Muhan's Pacific plan, but China's backyard plan. Because after a hundred years, China has really become the backyard and big processing factory of Japan and Americans, and the Japanese and Americans and other countries around the world have set up factories in China, which also makes "madeinchina" popular all over the world.

What Wang Maoru didn't expect was that Li Muhan actually had such a long-term strategic vision, this is a genius who decides to be smart. And Li Muhan meant something, and skillfully transferred the hostility of the Japanese to Sun Liwen, which made him see the other side of Li Muhan in politics, which made people willingly be borrowed to kill people. Wang Maoru regretted it a little, this person should return to China as a senior government counselor, instead of being a spy so wasteful.

"I'm looking forward to meeting him in Japan this time." Wang Maoru said to himself.

After arriving at Kyoto City, the Japanese Imperial Family arranged a resting place for the delegates of various visiting countries, and the Japanese Guards Division was stationed nearby to prevent any accidents during Hirohito's succession as regent. The division commander of the Guards Division was Morinari Morioka, who was from the Choshu Domain, which had strong roots. The Choshu clan was also the largest faction in Japanese politics, with many celebrities, such as Hirobumi Ito, Noshinori Nogi, and Aritomo Yamaguchi, the elder of the cabinet. Since Hirohito's coronation ceremony is very important. The Japanese government and the imperial family do not want any mistakes at such a time, so they have given great protection to all the guests who have come to congratulate them, especially the highest-ranking guest this time, Wang Maoru, the Chinese Minister of National Defense.

With the protection of the Japanese, Wang Maoru also took the opportunity to exchange views with the envoys of various countries. However, the Western guests were obviously not of the same level as him, and Wang Maoru didn't care about it, and met and made friends one after another. It gave him a warm and friendly image in the eyes of Western guests. These days, people from all walks of life in Japan are constantly studying Wang Maoru's Yiqiē, and the study of Wang Maoru has become a trend in Japanese academic circles, so there are many people who visit Wang Maoru, but they are all rejected by the Japanese imperial family one by one. They were afraid that there would be one or two radical representatives of the revolutionary party or the left. What a shadow does it cast on this grand festival in Japan?

Finally, after a few days, on a day of light snow, Crown Prince Hirohito was crowned regent. Representatives from more than 20 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, participated.

The coronation ceremony was short-lived, lasting only two hours, and the Regent Hirohito and others were covered with a white curtain in front of them, in order to maintain the supremacy and mystery of the emperor. Subsequently, Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Shiqing led all the members of the Japanese cabinet to meet with him. And the Taisho Emperor who had problems with Jīngshén never showed up. The whole process seemed solemn and boring, and Wang Maoru waited impatiently. I had no choice but to close my eyes and think about what to do with Russia next year.

However, it is not right to say that the whole process is boring, what interests Wang Maoru the most is the music at the coronation ceremony, Yang Du explained on the side that this music is ancient Chinese music, produced in the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and later Tang Xuanzong Li Longji integrated the world's musical scores, after stipulating the form of performance, the Northern Wei Dynasty broke the formation was abandoned, but the students who studied in Japan's Xidu studied very much and learned this tune back. The tune of the broken formation heard today is the same as it was 1,400 years ago, except that some of the instruments have been replaced by local Japanese instruments after Japan.

There are so many Chinese cultures, and so many of the treasures that have been lost, and what we left behind in the first place is regarded as a national treasure in Japan.

Subsequently, the representatives of various countries met with the Japanese regent one by one in accordance with the etiquette of each country, and Wang Maoru, as the representative of China, naturally also paid a visit, but I did not know whether it was intentional or not, and the Chinese delegation was arranged to be the last to meet him. When the sky gradually darkened, it was the turn of the Chinese delegation, which made everyone hungry.

After a while, Kantaro Suzuki, commander of the Navy's Third Fleet, a representative of the Japanese Imperial Family, came to inform the Chinese delegation of the meeting.

Wang Maoru and his entourage only bowed and handed over the credentials of Sino-Japanese friendship and a congratulatory letter from Chinese President Sun Liwen. After Muto Zhang, a close minister on the side, began to sing, the Chinese delegation slowly retreated, ready to turn around and leave.

At this time, Hirohito suddenly spoke, and He Yingqin translated in front of Wang Maoru: "His Majesty the Emperor wants to ask you to stay." Wang Maoru was slightly surprised, so he nodded to the other subordinates, leaving Feng Yinbin and Yang Du and the translator He Yingqin. At this time, Hirohito had the tent removed, and Wang Maoru saw Hirohito alive for the first time, although he sat on a tatami mat, it was obvious that he was very short, his face was a little pointed, his eyes were not large, he wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and wore a traditional Japanese royal hat.

Hirohito then motioned for Wang Maoru to sit down, and Wang Maoru sat awkwardly on the tatami mat, with Yang Du sitting next to him, while Feng Yinbin and He Yingqin had to learn the Japanese way to kneel behind them. Opposite Wang Maoru is the younger brother of the Japanese regent Hirohito, Prince Chichibu Gong Yonghito, he is Hirohito's second brother, compared to the taciturn Hirohito, he has a lively and cheerful temperament, has performed Japanese dramas for the imperial family many times in the palace, likes skiing and rugby, and is known as the prince of sports in Japan.

Hirohito and Yongren actually had a very good relationship when they were young, but as they grew older, the competition for power within the court, especially the succession of the power of the Great Unification, became more and more jīliè. Because of his more radical political views, Prince Yongren was very much supported by some leftist soldiers. On the surface, Hirohito is very good to Yongren, and he shows a very strong brotherly affection, but in fact, he is gradually dissatisfied with Yongren's gradual growth and hustle and bustle.

Under Prince Yongren sat the head of the Japanese cabinet elder Saionji Gongwang, this monarch is the proud protégé of Ito Hirobumi, after the death of Ito Hirobumi, there are few cabinet nine elders left, headed by Yama County Youpeng, and this year Yamayama County Youpeng resigned from the post of cabinet elder and became a monk, and the cabinet will be respected by Xiyuan Temple Gongwang.

Saionji has long been a supporter of the Democratic Cabinet, and he opposes the military junta, believing that the military government is too radical and will most likely lead Japan to a frenzied demise. At the same time, he studied in France when he was young, witnessed the uprising of the Paris Commune in France, and witnessed the danger brought to a country by the uprising of the people who were dissatisfied with the imperial power, so this set the tone for his life, where there was a compromise between democracy and imperial power, that is, a Japanese-style constitutional monarchy. However, the centralized rule of Emperor Meiji of Japan twisted the whole country into a single bond, and the people rejected democracy, believing that centralization of power was beneficial to Japan, which was naturally hostile to citrine. Even within the Japanese Government, there was a slight suspicion of the party and government cabinet, especially after the Hara Kei cabinet signed the "Nine-Power Pact," and various circles in Japan expressed dissatisfaction one after another. However, after Hara's assassination, a large-scale workers' armed revolution broke out in various parts of Japan, and the Japanese army had to send the navy and army to suppress the uprising.

Hirohito was a taciturn man, he didn't talk much, he liked to listen and think, so the Japanese elders often commented on him as mature and steady. After Hirohito stopped Wang Maoru, he said after a while, "It's late to leave you here, let's have dinner here." Wang Maoru originally thought that the regent of Hirohito would be ugly for himself, but he didn't want him to be very polite, which is called a nobleman, but he looked very rude in comparison. It's no wonder that Zhiya was still teaching herself some aristocratic etiquette this morning, of course, Zhiya actually doesn't know all about aristocratic etiquette, and compared with the real royal etiquette, Zhiya knows just scratching the surface.

Eating is just an excuse, and oriental-style eating is just a starter for conversation, and sure enough, Hirohito said: "What does General Shangwu think about Sino-Japanese relations?" Through a veil, Wang Maoru couldn't see inside, so Wang Maoru felt a little sharp about Hirohito's voice, maybe it was the kind that had not recovered from a long-term illness.

Wang Maoru put down his chopsticks, thought for a while and said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Regent, China and Japan can become a model of good-neighborliness and friendship. China and Japan should be mutually beneficial, friendly and develop together. It's just that there have been many estrangements in modern times, but this kind of mustard is not easy to eliminate. ”

Hirohito said slowly: "Since General Shangwu thinks that China and Japan should be mutually beneficial, then how do you think we can benefit each other?" He fǎngfo was like a student asking a teacher, with a hint of doubt in his politeness that he couldn't bear to refuse.

Wang Maoru thought for a while and said: "In fact, there are only two countries in the world that belong to the yellow race, namely China and Japan, that is to say, among the hundreds of countries in the world, our East Asian yellow race is very special and rare. If we hurt each other, it will lead to a sharp decrease in our East Asian yellow race. So who is the cheaper? Caucasian, Black, Brown Aboriginal. I think that the best race in the world should be us yellow people, not white black and indigenous people, so racially, China and Japan should not hurt each other. ”

Hirohito clapped his hands and said with a smile: "General Shangwu is a racist, very good, very good, but you didn't answer my question, how can China and Japan eliminate mustard and be good-neighborly." The others were generally deflated, and Wang Maoru and his men laughed, but the smile was very hypocritical.
