    Hirohito's eyes swept across the faces of the ministers present, and stayed on Konoe Fumimaro's face for a few seconds, and then asked in a deep voice: "Do you have anything else to say?"

    Konoe Fumimaro hesitated for about three seconds, and finally said bravely: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

    Hirohito's eyes immediately turned cold, and before Konoe Fumimaro even opened his mouth, he knew what he wanted to say.

    But he couldn't stop Konoe Fumimaro's mouth, so Hirohito could only say with a dark face: "Konoe-kun, you say it."

    Konoe Fumimaro's eyes slowly swept over the faces of the military and political ministers, and then said in a serious tone: "Gentlemen, since the Meiji Restoration, although the empire's industry has made great progress and its national strength has increased many times, but fundamentally  To be honest, the empire¡¯s industrial foundation is still very weak, far inferior to that of Western powers.¡±

    "And the United States has been developing with great concentration for hundreds of years since its independence!"

    ¡°Especially the world war thirty years ago established America¡¯s position as the number one industrial power!¡±

    "I don't know if you have any ideas? Anyway, I shudder whenever I think of the U.S. war machine in full swing!"

    "Have you ever thought about what will happen once the U.S. war machine is fully activated?"

    "Gentlemen, I really don't mean to make false threats, but once the American war machine is fully activated, they will be able to produce tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of combat aircraft, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tanks, and dozens of tanks a year.  Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cannons and hundreds or even thousands of warships!¡±

    "Faced with such an industrial power, does the Empire really have a chance to win?"

    "I don't know what you guys think. Anyway, I don't have much confidence. I really don't."

    "Therefore, I am firmly opposed to war with the United States. At this stage, the empire really cannot go to war with the United States!"

    Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita also said: "I agree with Konoe-kun. It is really difficult for the empire to defeat the United States, so it is best not to provoke the United States."

    Finance Minister Kiichiro Hiranuma also echoed: "Yes, at least until now, the United States still adheres to a neutral position and has not shown much hostility to the empire. Under such circumstances, why would the empire take the initiative to provoke the United States?  I think it is very irrational to start a war with the United States and we should be cautious!"

    Hirohito¡¯s face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

    Taking a deep breath, Hirohito gave Tojo Hideki a wink.

    Tojo Hideki immediately stood up and said: "You are appeasement!"

    "Today's world situation has become increasingly clear, and the interests of the empire and the United States have formed a serious conflict. The United States still adheres to its neutral position, but who can guarantee that the United States will remain neutral? There has been a lot of commotion recently.  The Lend-Lease Act speaks volumes!¡±

    "I heard that Roosevelt firmly supported Lend-Lease!"

    "The United States has not shown hostility to the empire now. Who can guarantee that it will not show hostility in the future?"

    ¡°If we don¡¯t declare war on the United States now, will we wait for the United States to prepare for war in the future?¡±

    "Once a war breaks out, it's important to have the opportunity first. I don't think I need to say more, right? The industrial strength of the United States is already stronger than that of the empire. Once the United States is ready, do you think the empire will still have a chance to win?"

    "So, not only must we start a war with the United States, but we must start a war as soon as possible!"

    Hirohito applauded: "What Tojo-kun said is true consideration for the empire! Unlike some ministers, who only think about preserving their own reputation. To put it bluntly, they don't want to take responsibility for possible failures!"

    Hirohito¡¯s words forced Konoe Fumimaro into a corner, making him unable to stand.

    Although he was very reluctant to be the prime minister, Hirohito had already said so. Konoe Fumimaro could only sit up on his knees and said with a dark face: "In this case, I can only resign."

    Hirohito waved his hand and said: "I approved it!"

    Having said this, Hirohito said to Tojo Hideki: "Tojo-kun, you immediately start forming a wartime cabinet! Then start transitioning to a wartime system and prepare all matters for war with the United States!"

    "Hai!" Hideki Tojo was elated.

    ¡­¡­

    Jiangshan County in western Zhejiang, the Chief of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone.

    At around five o'clock in the morning, Zhong Yi had already gotten up and came to the staff headquarters.

    As soon as he entered the staff headquarters, Zhong Yi asked Zhang Shiliang to turn on the radio.

    The frequency bands of the radio are locked in advance, and what you listen to is the NHK broadcast

    Li Ziren, who was having breakfast, asked curiously: "Senzai, why do you listen to NHK broadcasts every day?"

    "I'm used to it." Zhong Yi smiled and didn't tell Li Ziren the whole story. Everything about habits was fake. Zhong Yi's only purpose of listening to NHK broadcasts was to obtain information.

    Don¡¯t just watch a broadcast, but sometimes you can get very important information!

    "Have a seat, here." Zhang Shiliang turned on the radio and handed over the sesame cakes wrapped in fried dough sticks.

    Zhong Yi took the sesame seed cake and took a big bite casually. The aroma of green onions and fried dough sticks immediately penetrated his nose, making people move their index fingers, but it was a little dry.

    "Here you go, take a seat." Li Ziren brought over a bowl of soy milk.

    "Thank you." Zhong Yi took the soy milk bowl and said thank you.

    "Thank you." Li Ziren shook his head, chewed sesame seed cakes and walked into the war room to prepare for the map homework.

    Zhong Yi¡¯s attention was focused on the radio. A female announcer had already started broadcasting.

    As soon as the female announcer said the first sentence, Zhong Yi's eyes suddenly froze. Is the Konoe cabinet resigning?  !

    Yu Liangzhen happened to come in. Seeing Zhong Yi's focused expression, he asked: "Zi Ren, what was said on the radio? Are you listening so attentively?"

    Zhong Yi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "General Konoe Cabinet resigns!"

    "The Konoe Cabinet resigns?" Yu Liangzhen shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with us."

    "No, it has something to do with us!" Zhong Yi said solemnly, "And it has a very big relationship!"

    "What do you mean?" Yu Liangzhen's eyes suddenly focused and he said in a deep voice, "What does it have to do with it?"

    Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "I have been listening to NHK's broadcast for more than a day or two. From the content of the broadcast, I know that Emperor Hirohito's dissatisfaction with the Konoe Cabinet has been going on for a long time!"

    "So, the resignation of the Chief Konoe Cabinet is an obvious signal!"

    "Signal?" Yu Liangzhen asked, "What signal? Zi Ren, don't say half of it!"

    Zhong Yi put his hand on his forehead and said clearly that it was you who interrupted me, okay?  You still blame me for only telling half of it.

    At that moment, Zhong Yi continued: "The resignation of the Chief of the Konoe Cabinet means that the Japanese government is about to fully embark on the road of independence and is about to transform into a wartime system!"

    Yu Liangzhen said: "What if we transfer to a wartime system?"

    Zhong Yi said: "The transition to a wartime system means that the Japanese government will be able to easily spend five or even ten times its military expenditures. It also means that the Japanese government will be able to easily form ten, twenty or even fifty military units."  The division means that the Japanese army will be able to launch a larger offensive, and we are in trouble!"
