After receiving the news, Hirohito urgently summoned Cabinet Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo, Army Minister Shunroku Hata, Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, Finance Minister Hiranuma Kiichiro, Interior Minister Yuasa Kurahira, and Army Chief of Staff Kanin Miyazahito. , the Minister of Naval Command, Fushimi Gong Hirokyou, and other military and political ministers entered the palace and held an emergency imperial meeting.
At ten o'clock in the morning, a group of military and political ministers gathered in the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace.
This meeting was actually arranged at Zichen Exhibition, which shows how much Hirohito attaches great importance to it.
Hirohito first asked the Minister of Internal Affairs Yuasa Kurahira: "Yuasa-kun, has the note to the Soviet government been sent?"
"This" Yuasa Kurahira smiled bitterly, and then turned his attention to Army Chief of Staff Kanin Miya Zaihito.
Hirohito¡¯s eyes immediately turned to Hanyuan Gong Zairen, and he frowned and said, ¡°Uncle Emperor, is there any problem?¡±
Xianyuan Gong Zairen said: "Your Majesty, haven't you ever thought that asking the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue a note to the Soviet government at this time will not only appear that the empire is too weak, but also will become the laughing stock of the world if the final situation cannot be restored."
The meaning of Kanin Gong Zaijin is very clear. That is to say, once the Japanese royal family asks for peace, but the Kwantung Army insists on starting a war and eventually wins, the Japanese royal family will become a laughing stock.
Hirohito is actually very smart. He was just dizzy with anxiety before, so he didn¡¯t consider this aspect.
But now after being reminded by Xianyuan Gong Zairen, he immediately reacted.
Hirohito¡¯s eyes turned to Foreign Minister Togo Shigenori and asked in a deep voice: ¡°Togo-kun, is it possible to save the situation?¡±
Togo Shigetori shook his head and said: "Before coming to the Imperial Palace, I had already summoned the minister of the Soviet Embassy in Tokyo. The other party strongly stated that unless the Ministry of War can make the Kwantung Army stop immediately, it will be difficult to recover."
Hirohito turned his eyes to Army Minister Hata Shunroku and said in a deep voice: "Hata-kun, what do you say?"
Shunroku Hata smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, in the name of the Ministry of War, I sent six telegrams to the Kwantung Army in succession, but I didn't get even a word of reply!"
Having paused at this point, Shunroku Hata emphasized his tone and continued: "It seems that Ishihara-kun is determined!"
"Baga Yalu!" Hirohito clenched his fists hard and said in a hateful voice, "Ishihara, this idiot, what are you doing, launching a war against the Soviet Union at this time?"
"Isn't this forcing the empire to fight on three fronts?"
"One Zhong Yi plus the U.S. Navy is enough to cause a headache for the empire."
¡°Now that the Soviet Union is a behemoth, does he really think that the empire is omnipotent?¡±
The military and political leaders who attended the meeting were silent, but the expressions on their faces were different. Some were very anxious, while others seemed very calm, and even some were secretly happy.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the benefits of starting a war against Su at this time obviously outweigh the disadvantages.
There are two reasons why Hirohito firmly opposed war with the Soviet Union. One was because of his dislike of Ishihara Wanji, and the other was because of his wariness against Germany.
But compared with the destiny of a country and a nation, this is nothing at all.
In the end, it was Kanin Gong Zaihito who persuaded Hirohito: "Your Majesty, Ishihara Wanji seems to be determined, and the Kwantung Army's assault group has also been launched on the Manchurian-Mongolian border, and has even penetrated deep into Mongolia. At this time Even temporarily replacing Kanji Ishihara will not help."
Tojo Hideki said angrily: "Then let him kidnap the entire empire?"
"This is not kidnapping." Kanin Miya Zaijin was not so polite to Tojo Hideki, and said coldly, "This can only be said to be smooth sailing."
Tojo Hideki said in a deep voice: "Even if war against the Soviet Union is inevitable, Ishihara Kanji must be replaced first! Otherwise, if the commanders of various battlefields start to follow Ishihara Kanji's approach, wouldn't there be chaos?"
"Tojo-kun, I can understand your mood." Kanin Gong Zaijin was already very unhappy and said in a deep voice, "In fact, I also hate this guy Ishihara, because this guy has a really bad temper and speaks It's more irritating and I wouldn't mind removing him if the time was right."
"But now is not the time to make a substitution."
"As His Majesty said, the empire is now fighting on three fronts."
¡°At this time, even the slightest error in any direction may lead to catastrophic consequences.¡±
"Therefore, the most suitable one should be selected in each directionThe candidates, Commander of the Naval Combined Fleet Yamamoto Isoroku, and Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Condemn Forces Okamura Neiji, are both very good candidates. "
"As for the Kwantung Army, at least at this stage, there is no more suitable candidate than Ishihara Wanji."
"So we might as well let Ishihara Wan'er give it a try. What if his judgment on Su is correct?"
"But what if his judgment is wrong?" Tojo Hideki retorted, "Has Your Highness ever thought about the consequences?"
"The consequences?" Xianyuan Gong Zairen said suddenly, "What consequences can there be?"
"The Soviet Union has been completely defeated by the German army, and all its troops in the Far East have been mobilized."
"So, I really can't imagine what the consequences of starting a war against Su will be?"
"This" Tojo Hideki was speechless for a moment, and he also felt that what Kanin Miya Zaijin said was reasonable.
At this time, an attendant walked in with broken steps and handed a telegram to the Minister of Internal Affairs Yuasa Kurahira.
After reading the telegram, Yuasa Kurahira immediately showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then handed the telegram to Hirohito.
After reading the telegram, Hirohito showed a strange look on his face, as if he had swallowed a fly.
Xianyuan Gong Zairen asked: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Hirohito raised the telegram in his hand and said: "The Soviet government sent us a diplomatic note through the embassy in Tokyo to protest our transgressions on the Manchu-Mongolia border and warned the empire to withdraw its troops that had crossed the Manchu-Mongolia border as soon as possible, otherwise , and the empire will be responsible for all consequences arising therefrom.¡±
The faces of the military and political ministers present at the meeting showed strange expressions.
After a while, first Xianyuan Gong Zairen burst into laughter, and then other ministers also laughed out loud.
"Cross-border behavior?" Army Minister Shunroku Hata laughed, "The Soviet government actually defined the large-scale military operations of the Kwantung Army's six divisions and four tank divisions as cross-border behavior?"
Foreign Minister Shigeru Togo also said: "If this is the case, should the empire send a few divisions to Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, Irkutsk, or even Moscow to conduct cross-border operations?"
Xianyuan Gong Zairen said flatly: "Your Majesty, the Soviet government's evil nature has been clearly exposed, so there is no need to hesitate and declare war on the Soviet Union!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
