"Nani? Small hardware?" Hirohito couldn't believe his eyes.
Others like Kanin Miya Zaihito, Hata Shunroku, Navy Commander Fushimi Miyahirogiya, and Combined Fleet Commander Yamamoto Isoroku who arrived after hearing the news were also dumbfounded.
Do you call semi-finished parts of weapons and equipment small hardware?
Are you Americans blind, or are we Japanese stupid?
However, it was clearly written in black and white. The official reply letter from the Americans indeed stated that what they shipped to Yinjiang was not weapons and equipment spare parts, but only small hardware accessories. Moreover, these small hardware accessories were not sold directly to the Nationalist Government. , but sold it to an American manufacturing company in the Yinjiang Industrial Park.
Therefore, this batch of small hardware is not affected by the Neutrality Act.
"Haga, how blind do Americans have to be to think of gun parts as small hardware?" Hirohito waved his hands and roared, and then said to Hachiro Arita, "Arita-san, immediately instruct the U.S. government to investigate. I want to see how they say black is white?"
"Hai." Hachiro Arita said after a pause, "The Imperial Consulate General in New York has requested the U.S. government to investigate."
After saying this, there was a slight pause, and Hachiro Arita's face showed an expression of hesitation, so Hirohito said angrily: "Arita-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't hesitate."
"Hai." Hachiro Arita paused again and said, "Although the Imperial Consulate General in New York has submitted a review request, Your Majesty should not have too high expectations for this."
"Don't have high expectations for this?" Hirohito frowned, "Why?"
"Because the United States is strictly speaking a legal country." Hachiro Arita said, "The domestic legal system is integrated with various interest groups, which leads to the intricacies of the legal system."
"Speak in human terms." Hirohito interrupted, "Speak more directly."
"UhHai." Hachiro Arita paused again and said, "To put it simply, the judicial system in the United States is very complicated and cumbersome. Even an ordinary lawsuit is likely to cost a lot of money. One and a half years, not including the long time for evidence collection, and the United States adheres to the presumption of innocence, which means that as the relevant party making the accusation, the Imperial Consulate General in New York must collect evidence on its own, which makes it even more difficult. difficulties, so"
"So what?" Hirohito said angrily, "Arita-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Hai." Hachiro Arita wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said bitterly, "So, the time for collecting evidence is likely to be several years, and it will take even longer for the U.S. judicial department to come to a conclusion. , the most optimistic estimate is that it will take at least three or even five years!¡±
"Nani?" Hirohito said, "Three years or even five years?"
"This is already the most optimistic estimate." Hachiro Arita smiled bitterly. "If the U.S. government deliberately obstructs it, this time may be as long as ten years, or even decades! This kind of thing is not without precedent in the judicial history of the United States. , so I say that the American judicial system is the most deformed and the most inefficient."
"Don't talk about it." Hirohito said, "Is there no way to speed up the judicial process?"
¡°It¡¯s not impossible to do this,¡± Hachiro Arita said. ¡°If we can mobilize public opinion in the United States and exert pressure on the U.S. judicial department, the process will be greatly accelerated.¡±
"Public opinion?" Hirohito immediately shut up.
¡°Every fool knows that this matter is impossible to mobilize public opinion in the United States.
Hirohito has always been concerned about what Zhong Yi said and did after arriving in the United States. With Zhong Yi¡¯s current status and the American people¡¯s love for Zhong Yi, is it now time to mobilize public opinion? Isn't that uncomfortable?
"It seems that there is no solution from the United States." Hirohito sighed and asked Fushimi Miya Hirokyou, "Uncle Fushimi Miyako, can you consider dispatching the navy to intercept?"
Fushimi Gong Hirokyou did not answer, and turned his gaze to Yamamoto Isoroku behind him.
Yamamoto Isoroku pondered for a moment, then paused and said: "Your Majesty, there is no problem in intercepting, but if intercepted, you will need to risk an all-out war with the United States!"
After a pause, Yamamoto Isoroku continued: "Nowadays, although the mainstream public opinion in the United States remains neutral, the vast majority of big capitalists, including arms dealers, actually support the U.S. government's intervention in Asian affairs, and if the Imperial Navy is in Intercepting this batch of supplies at this time will undoubtedly deliver the sharp blade into the hands of these big capitalists."??
Hirohito said in a deep voice: "So, if a full-scale war breaks out, is the Navy confident of defeating the United States?"
Yamamoto Isoroku said without hesitation: "If it were just the Pacific Fleet of the U.S. Navy, I would be at least 90% sure, but if it were the entire U.S. Navy, I would not dare to say that. In any case, the United States has a huge industrial manufacturing base. It¡¯s a sleeping beast, if you can avoid waking it up, it¡¯s better not to wake it up.¡±
"Still afraid of the enemy and the war!" Hirohito said angrily, "This time, we can no longer be afraid of the enemy. You should immediately convey to me the determination of the Japanese Empire to the Americans. The Empire has no intention to antagonize the United States, let alone quarrel with the United States. All-out war, but if the U.S. government insists on helping the Chinese government fight against the empire, then the empire will have no choice!"
"Hai." Yamamoto Isoroku paused and replied, "I understand."
¡¡
A few hours later, Isoroku Yamamoto¡¯s Nissan sedan appeared outside the U.S. Consulate General in Tokyo.
Sitting in the car, in addition to Yamamoto Isoroku, there was an American named Smith. He was a naval attach¨¦ at the U.S. Consulate in Tokyo with the rank of major.
Smith has a good relationship with Yamamoto Isoroku.
"General Yamamoto." Smith tilted his head slightly and said, "I heard that you just went to the Imperial Palace to meet with the Emperor?"
"Yes." Yamamoto Isoroku said in a low voice, "Because your U.S. government has gone too far recently. It actually described the art equipment of as many as forty divisions as hardware and prepared to use Yinjiang."
"God, I'm very sorry about this." Smith shrugged and said, "But you also know, I'm just a small naval attache, I'm afraid I can't help you much."
"Of course, I am not here to ask for your help." Yamamoto Isoroku said, "I just hope that you can convey our voice to Washington. So far, the top naval leaders of our combined fleet have always maintained their sanity and have never We view the U.S. Navy as an adversary, but I hope that our restraint will be rewarded with the same goodwill from the U.S. government."
Smith¡¯s face darkened and he said, ¡°General Yamamoto, can I interpret your words as a threat?¡±
Yamamoto Isoroku said expressionlessly: "If you want to understand it this way, it's not impossible."
"Okay." Smith nodded and said, "I will convey your request to Washington." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
