    Shanghai, Naval Hospital.

    Early in the morning, Chief of Staff of the Central China Front Tsukada Tsukada came to the Naval Hospital to visit Matsui Iwane.

    Tsukada peeled an apple and handed it to Matsui Iwane, while saying: "Your Excellency, the general, we have just received a notification from the base camp that King Asaka Palace Hatohiko and Inaba Shiro have set off from Tokyo."

    "Sodes." Hearing this, Matsui Iwane's last sparkle in his little eyes faded in an instant.

    ??????? Asaka Miya Kituhiko has already set off from Tokyo, which means that his taking over as the commander of the Shanghai Condemnation Force is a certainty and cannot be changed. At this point, Matsui Iwane can also give up completely.

    At that moment, Matsui Iwane pushed away the apple Tsukada handed over and said, "I don't want to eat it."

    Tsukada can probably guess what Matsui Iwane was thinking at this moment, and said: "Your Excellency, General, even if His Royal Highness Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace takes over as the commander of the Shanghai Condemnation Army, the Shanghai Condemnation Army will still be under the guidance of the Central China Front Army Headquarters.  We carry out business under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, so no matter what, you will be the first to conquer Nanjing!"

    Matsui Iwane shook his head and said: "It's not that simple!"

    Tsukada wanted to persuade him again, but a major suddenly walked in in a hurry.

    "Your Excellency, General, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff!" The Major nodded heavily and continued, "I have just received a notification from the Tenth Army that the Commander of the Tenth Army, His Excellency Yanagawa, was assassinated this morning and is seriously injured and in critical condition!"

    "Nani? Yanagawa Heisuke was assassinated this morning and is seriously injured and dying?"

    "Is there such a thing? Yanagawa-kun is too careless, right?"

    Hearing the news, Matsui Iwane and Tsukada were stunned for a moment.

    But the next moment, a very obscure joy filled Matsui Iwane¡¯s eyes!

    Regardless of whether Yanagawa Heisuke is injured or not, he will not be able to return to his post as commander of the Tenth Army in a short time. This means that he can take this opportunity to make suggestions to the base camp.  Asaka Miyakohiko was transferred to the commander of the Tenth Army. Wouldn't this allow him to continue to serve as the commander of the Shanghai Condemnation Army?

    Tsukada was also a human being, and he soon realized this, and immediately said with "not without worry": "Your Excellency, General, Yanagawa-kun is seriously injured, the Tenth Army will immediately be leaderless, which will be very important for the next attack."  The Battle of Nanjing is quite unfavorable, why not propose to the base camp that His Royal Highness King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace be transferred to the position of commander of the Tenth Army?"

    Matsui Iwane was happy in his heart, but on the surface he was embarrassed: "Is this okay?"

    Tsukada said sternly: "Everything is for the Empire of Japan, everything is for His Majesty the Emperor, everything is for the holy war, so what's wrong?"

    Matsui Iwane nodded: "Okay then!"

    "Let's do this humble job now!" Tsukada Gong said and turned around to leave.

    Watching Tsukada Gong leave, Matsui Iwane suddenly felt that his waist was no longer sore and his legs were no longer hurting. He immediately said to the doctor who came in for a routine check-up: "Suzuki-kun, I want to be discharged from the hospital, immediately!"

    "Nani?" Dr. Suzuki said in surprise, "General, your condition"

    Before Dr. Suzuki could finish speaking, Matsui Iwane interrupted him and said, "My condition is completely cured!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Matsui Iwane jumped off the hospital bed, turned around and walked out.

    Looking at Iwane Matsui, who suddenly became as light as a swallow and had a rosy complexion, Suzuki was instantly confused.

    ¡­¡­

    Eight o'clock in the morning Shanghai time is exactly nine o'clock in the morning Tokyo time.

    When the news came back to Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito was holding an imperial meeting.

    As the battle to capture Nanjing slowly begins, an unprecedented opportunity has been placed in front of Japan, but opportunities often come with huge risks!

    Therefore, at the time of unprecedented changes in a thousand years, Hirohito decided to convene an imperial meeting to unify the thoughts of the government and the public!  In order to prevent the enlarging faction and the limited faction from arguing with each other and expanding the scope of internal fighting!

    In fact, there are already signs of this within the base camp. Shimomura Sada, the head of the operations department as a representative of the expansion faction, and Shun Tada, deputy chief of staff as a representative of the limited faction, have expressed opposing views on multiple occasions!

    The limited faction represented by Shun Tada believes that a line of command should be drawn for the war between Japan and China, and it cannot continue to expand without limit, otherwise Japan will definitely be dragged down!  And the limited faction further proposed that the capture of Nanjing should be the end of the Japan-China War!  After capturing Nanjing, peace talks must take place regardless of whether the Nationalist government surrenders or not!

    "However, the expansionists represented by Xia Cunding believe that capturing Nanjing is only a means, not an end."Therefore, the war should not end before the Nationalist Government announces its surrender!

    That means we must keep fighting until China surrenders!

    The two factions each have supporters, and they engage in fierce debates on various occasions, and even fight!

    It was against this background that Hirohito decided to hold an imperial meeting to unify his thoughts!  Therefore, Hirohito, this little devil, is still quite good!

    Originally, the meeting went well and our thoughts were unified!  It means fighting while inducing surrender. To put it bluntly, the views of the expansionists dominate!

    But at this moment, the news that Yanagawa Heisuke was assassinated and seriously injured suddenly came back!

    Immediately afterwards, Tsukada's telegram also arrived in Tokyo, and was then presented to Hirohito's imperial court!

    Hirohito looked at Kanin Gongzaihi who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and then turned his attention to Tada Shun: "Tada-kun, what do you think?"

    Tada Shunhai responded respectfully: "Yagawa Heisuke was suddenly seriously injured. I am afraid it will be too late to choose a suitable general as the commander of the Tenth Army in such a hurry. If His Highness Hatohiko is transferred to the commander of the Tenth Army,  If Iwane Matsui is still the commander of the Shanghai Condemnation Force, then at least one person is familiar with the business and will not affect the overall situation of the battle to capture Nanjing!"

    Hirohito turned his attention to Army Minister Shan Shanyuan again and asked: "Shan Shan-kun, what is your opinion?"

    Shan Shanyuan knew that he was just a decoration, so he said simply: "I agree with Tada-kun's opinion."

    Hirohito¡¯s eyes finally fell on Shimomura Sada, director of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters: ¡°Shimomura-kun, what do you think?¡±

    Shimomura Sada naturally has no objection to this. For him, as long as the Japan-China war can continue, it makes no difference who will serve as the commander of the Shanghai Condemnation Force!  Immediately he replied: "My lord, I second the proposal!"

    Hirohito nodded happily and said: "Since we have the same opinion, it's OK!"

    Frankly speaking, although Hirohito was dissatisfied with Matsui Iwane's performance in the Battle of Songhu, he was still willing to give him another chance to prove himself. However, the Battle of Nanjing was about to begin, and someone from the imperial family had to participate, and he was not allowed to do so.  That's why Asaka Miyakohiko was asked to defeat Matsui Iwane.

    But now, since the commander of the Tenth Army is vacant, Hirohito will not mind, and Matsui Iwane will still serve as the commander of the Shanghai Condemnation Force.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
