    Japan, Tokyo, spring is freezing.

    In the palace garden, Emperor Hirohito sat quietly on a stone bench, looking at the clear sky with light clouds and wind, his eyes slightly confused.  Empress Ryoko and Crown Prince Akihito were playing in the garden not far away. All the palace attendants and palace guards were standing in the distance, and no one dared to disturb the emperor's contemplation.

    The cold wind passed by, and Suzuki, the chamberlain, stepped forward and gently put a velvet coat on Hirohito, "Your Majesty, the spring wind is cold. Please be careful of your holy body."

    Hirohito was silent, and after a long while he sighed slowly: "Suzuki-san, no matter how cold the spring wind is, it is not as cold as my heart."

    "Your Majesty, if you wish to inherit the great achievements of the late Emperor Meiji in establishing the empire, you must also imitate His Majesty the late Emperor's courageous spirit and unyielding heroism in the face of all dangers." Suzuki comforted him softly.

    Hirohito nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

    Suzuki added softly: "Prince Fushimi Gong Hiroyao and Prince Nashimoto Shoumasa are asking for an audience outside the Imperial Palace. I wonder if Your Majesty will grant an audience?"

    Hirohito moved slightly, "Kuai Zhao."

    "Your Majesty, your Majesty." Prince Hiroyasu Fushimi and Prince Morimasa Urimoto entered the Imperial Garden steadily, wearing a marshal's badge marked with the rising sun chrysanthemum, holding a marshal's baton made of pure gold, and wearing marshal uniforms embroidered with the chrysanthemum symbol of the Japanese royal family.  They all fell to the ground and saluted Hirohito.  Both of them are members of the Japanese royal family and important members of the military; Fushiminomiya is the head of the Japanese Navy Military Command Department, and Rimotomiya is the head of the Japanese Army Military Command Department. Both of them are also marshals of the Imperial Japanese Army, with a prominent and powerful position.  Although both of them are nearly thirty years older than Hirohito, they must still be meticulous and courteous when meeting.

    "Uncle Fushimiguya and Imperial Uncle Rimoto, please get up quickly. There are no outsiders here, and the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers is exempted." Hirohito leaned forward and said cordially, "Please sit down quickly."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty." Fushiminomiya and Rimotomiya thanked him in return, and they sat across from Hirohito.

    "Your Majesty's brows are furrowed and his face is gloomy. May I venture to speculate that Your Majesty still seems to be uneasy about the loss of Korea?" Fushimi Palace broke the silence and said.

    Hirohito's face turned gloomy, and he let out a long sigh, "Oh Uncle Fushimi Palace hit the spot. I have been haunted by panic and fear for more than a few months, and I have trouble sleeping and eating." He stood up slowly.  , looked up at the vast sky, and said leisurely: "Every time I think about the heroic demeanor of the late Emperor Meiji who founded the empire, I feel ashamed to face the imperial country and find it difficult to sit still. There is no modern army or navy in the Empire of Japan.  It was not built by the late Emperor Meiji alone; the upper and lower political institutions of the imperial state were also consolidated by the late emperor's hard work; the occupation of Ryukyu, Korea, and Taiwan was also the first of the emperor's expansion of territory. The great achievements of the imperial state are passed on to me, and I should have  Carrying forward the mantle of the late emperor, continuing the great cause of the Empire's Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and making due historical achievements for the rise of the Yamato nation, thus leaving a name in history. However, God's will is hard to come by. Since the Manchurian Incident six years ago  Later, the empire not only took one step forward in its grand journey, but also lost troops and territory one after another, and even lost the territory of Korea, which was passed down to me by the late emperor. I am ashamed of myself, of the late emperor, and of the people of the empire. I feel ashamed and uneasy.  ¡­well!"

    "Your Majesty is so determined and loyal, and the late emperor must be very happy in the dark world." Fushimi Palace comforted him.

    Hirohito still looked sad and said word by word: "The empire is a shame, how can it snow"

    "Haha, Your Majesty is overly worried. When the late Emperor Meiji restored the Yamato nation, there were foreign powers and four rebellions at home. The situation was dangerous and difficult, several times more difficult than the current situation of the empire. I would also like to ask Your Majesty to cheer up.  Under the protection of the emperor, we will continue to lead the Yamato nation to move forward bravely." Rimotogu said with a faint smile, and then said, "The defeat of the imperial army in Korea, both in terms of the interests of the empire and the face of the empire, sooner or later the empire will have to show off again with the Manchurian Army  Males and females retake North Korea. I have a few words here. I wonder if your majesty would like to hear them?"

    "Oh, I would like to ask Emperor Li Hongong to speak clearly. I am all ears." Hirohito nodded slightly.

    "Your Majesty, since the imperial army was repeatedly defeated by the Manchurian army on land, I have been thinking deeply about the reasons, and finally got a glimpse of some insights. I would like to express it frankly to your Majesty for your consideration." Rimoto Palace said respectfully.  .

    "Please tell me in detail, Uncle Rimoto." Hirohito retracted his confused thoughts and listened attentively.

    "Compared with the Imperial Army, in terms of equipment, the Manchurian Army does not have much advantage in terms of land and aviation, but the strength of the Imperial Navy is unparalleled by the Manchurian Army; in terms of soldiers killing the enemy to serve the country and serving the country with  With a tenacious and courageous spirit of undying loyalty, the imperial army was only stronger than the Manchurian army; in terms of the national power of the empire compared with the Manchurian land where Zhang Xueliang occupied, the empire was not inferior, and the war potential of the empire was by no means comparable to that of a corner of Manchuria.  I thought hard and finally understood the crucial point." Rimotomiya paused, "The hearts of the peopleTogether they strengthen the Army Armored Forces of the Northeast Army.

    The surface combat ships of the Northeast Army Navy now include 24 "Tieling" class destroyers and 30 "Lushun" class frigates. The size of the submarine force is also constantly expanding. By the end of the year, the Northeast Army's submarine force will have more than 60 U-shaped combat ships.  Submarines, the total displacement of the Northeast Army Navy's ships at this time reached 150,000 tons, which was three times the total tonnage of the Nanjing National Government Navy ships; and four 200-million-ton "Scharnhorst" class battlecruisers were ordered from the German government  (already named "Chongwu", "Shangwu", "Shenwu" and "Zhenwu" respectively by Zhang Xueliang) will also be completed and delivered to the Northeast Army Navy in six months; the "Qinhuang", "Han  The four medium-sized aircraft carriers "Emperor", "Tangzong" and "Mingzu" are being intensified and are expected to be equipped with the Northeast Army Navy in the first half of 1939.

    In terms of air force, the Northeast Army Air Force already has 28 aviation groups at this time, including 18 fighter groups, five bomber groups and five air force transport groups, with more than 1,500 fighter aircraft of various types. The Air Force Marine Corps includes the 29th,  The 25th and 44th paratrooper brigades total about 15,000 people.  The Northeast Army aircraft production line, which has a strong industrial base, mainly Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Factory and Gongzhuling Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, can produce more than 100 advanced aircraft per month.

    The construction of other northeastern armed forces such as special forces, militia forces, gendarmerie, and armed police forces is also very optimistic. These numerous achievements make Zhang Xueliang proud and excited.  But after he calmed down, he became worried about the domestic situation again.

    In the past few years, the CCP, with strong support from the Northeastern government, has continued to grow, with an area of ??more than 200,000 square kilometers and a population of 10 million. The main force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army has grown to more than 200,000.  The Nanjing Nationalist Government was extremely vigilant about this. The armed forces of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party frequently fired at the border line, and armed conflicts broke out one after another.  In early August this year, about 30,000 troops including the 11th Division, 47th Division, and 32nd Brigade of the Kuomintang Army and the Fourth Front Army of the Chinese Communist Red Army exchanged fierce fire in the Huanglong, Hancheng, Hejin, and Dali areas. Both sides suffered heavy casualties.  Thousands were killed and injured, and the powder keg between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party could be ignited at any time.  Facing the situation in China that has been changed beyond recognition by himself, Zhang Xueliang is really at a loss.  If a full-scale civil war breaks out between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, where should the Northeastern Army go?  Is it to help the Red Army fight the civil war, or to help the National Army encircle and suppress the CCP?  Zhang Xueliang is really unsure. He really doesn't know what method to use to peacefully promote the reunification of China as he imagined.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
