    "Don't mention the matter of going north again!" Hirohito's cold gaze swept across Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's face and said, "We have summoned you all to discuss matters today. There is only one topic on the agenda. When will we declare war on the United States?"

    After saying this, Hirohito turned to Army Minister Shunroku Hata: "Hata-kun, is the army ready?"

    "Hai!" Hata Junroku said, "The army has already been prepared and can send troops to Southeast Asia at any time just waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's order."

    "Yo Xi." Hirohito turned his attention to Yamaguchi Tawen again, "Yamaguchi-kun, where is your air force?"

    "Hai." Yamaguchi Duowen paused and said, "The air force has no problem and can attack at any time."

    "Yoshi." Hirohito turned his attention to Mitsumasa Yoneuchi again and said in a deep voice, "Yonai-kun, where is the navy?"

    "Hai." Mitsumasa Minai paused and said, "The navy is also ready to attack and is waiting for His Majesty's call at any time."

    "Yo Xi." Hirohito finally cast his eyes on Tojo Hideki and asked, "Tojo-kun, there should be no problems with the cabinet, right?"

    "Hai!" Tojo Hideki nodded sharply and said decisively, "The cabinet has mobilized enough manpower and material resources to ensure that the empire wins this battle for national destiny!"

    "Yo Xi." Hirohito said happily, "Then please agree on a time for the war to begin."

    Xianyuan Gong Zairen said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, since you have decided to go to war with the United States, it is better to fight sooner rather than later. Otherwise, if the news leaks out, the navy will no longer be able to launch a surprise attack on the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, and the situation will fall into chaos.  Passive, so I thought the sooner we launch an attack, the better!¡±

    "What the emperor said makes sense." Hirohito nodded and asked the ministers present, "When will the fastest attack against the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet be launched?"

    Yamaguchi Tamon and Hata Shunroku¡¯s eyes immediately turned to Yoneuchi Mitsumasa.

    Because of the attack on the U.S. Navy¡¯s Pacific Fleet, although the Air Force played the leading role, it was the Navy that determined the effect of this operation, because the Air Force¡¯s fighter jets could not fly to Hawaii and had to take off from the aircraft carrier.

    Mitsumasa Yonai pondered for a moment and said: "It will take about seven days for the naval fleet to move to the vicinity of Hawaii. Considering possible emergencies along the way, at least a three-day buffer must be left, so it will not be until the 12th at the earliest."

    "Then let's take the 12th! On December 12th, a surprise attack on Hawaii Island!" After Hirohito finished speaking, he asked Shunroku Hata, "Hata-kun, can one division really ensure the occupation of Hawaii Island?"

    Shunroku Hata said confidently: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. According to intelligence, the defense system built by the U.S. Navy in Hawaii is mainly to defend against surface attacks. The core of its defense is Oahu Island in the northwest. The firepower of the fortresses on the main island of Hawaii is relatively weak, and most of them are  They are all concentrated on the west coast, but the landing site chosen by the imperial army is on the east coast, so it can perfectly avoid the U.S. Navy's coastal defense artillery firepower cluster."

    "And there is only one regiment of the U.S. Army stationed on Hawaii Island."

    "Even if you include the U.S. Marine Corps and the people recuperating on the island, there are only about 5,000 people at best."

    "So, if it is just to capture Hawaii Island, you don't need as many troops as a division. A brigade or even an infantry regiment is enough."

    "The reason why I transferred a division is to prepare for the possible major counterattack of the U.S. Army."

    "Our army has conducted war games. If military supplies are sufficient, a division of troops can defend Hawaii Island for more than five years, even without the support of the navy and air force!"

    "Don't worry about supplies." Interior Minister Yuasa Kurahira interjected, "According to the intelligence obtained by our Ministry of Interior, the U.S. Navy has stockpiled massive supplies including 4.5 million tons of crude oil and 2 million tons of grain in the Hawaiian Islands. In addition, there are even  Lots of factories including a boatyard!¡±

    "Yo Xi!" Hirohito nodded happily and said, "Hata-kun, please tell Yamashita-kun that you must receive the materials and factories on Hawaii Island as completely as possible. The empire urgently needs these resources!"

    "Hai!" Hata Shunroku nodded heavily, "I will definitely convey your Majesty's instructions to Yamashita-kun."

    "The meeting is dismissed!" Hirohito waved his hand, and the military and political ministers present stood up one after another and left one after another.

    After a while, Hirohito was the only one left in the study. Hirohito also knelt down and stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the garden outside the window and murmured: The fate of the empire depends on this battle!

    ¡­¡­

    In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

    The time has come to 19December 11, 1940.

    At the invitation of Principal Chang, Zhong Yi came to the Huangshan official residence again for an audience.

    In the Yunxiu Tower of Huangshan Official Residence, Zhong Yi met Principal Chang again.

    When Zhong Yi walked into the study room, he saw Principal Chang practicing calligraphy.

    To be honest, Principal Chang's calligraphy has the same meaning as his name, Zhongzheng and peaceful, which has reached a certain level. Not to mention other aspects, at least he has not lost to *** in terms of calligraphy attainments.

    Principal Chang wrote a sentence from Renli in the Analects of Confucius: The way of a master is only loyalty and forgiveness.

    After finishing writing, Principal Chang looked back at Zhong Yi and asked, "Zi Ren, what do you think of this sentence?"

    Zhong Yi said without thinking: "I think that Zeng Zi's words have captured the essence of Confucianism."

    "Oh?" Principal Chang asked, "So, Zi Ren also agrees with the Confucian principle of loyalty and forgiveness?"

    "That's of course." Zhong Yi said, "In fact, in a sense, Beizhi is also a Confucian disciple."

    "It turns out that Zi Ren actually considers himself a disciple of Confucianism." Principal Chang nodded and said, "Then, what is Zi Ren's opinion on the words loyalty and forgiveness?"

    Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "The so-called loyalty literally means to serve others wholeheartedly, and the so-called forgiveness literally means to treat oneself with respect to others, but I think there is another meaning. The so-called loyalty means to be loyal to the country and to oneself.  For our nation, the so-called forgiveness refers to the treatment of superiors and inferiors. We need to respect ourselves and others, not to mess around, and not to have our own way."

    Hearing this sentence, Principal Chang's face suddenly fell, and he even felt a little regretful.

    If he had known that this would be the result, he should not have asked Zhong Yi for his opinion on the principle of loyalty and forgiveness. Now that Zhong Yi directly expressed his opinion, he would have no chance to make amends.

    In a word, Zhong Yi has no concept of loyalty to the leader.

    This is fundamentally different from Yu Liangzhen, Chen Shi and even Zhang Lingfu!

    Zhong Yi even vaguely warned him: Don¡¯t mess around!

    At this time, Principal Chang really wanted to spit directly in Zhong Yi¡¯s face: ¡°Mother Xipi, who do you think you are? You dare to teach me a lesson?¡± (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
