    On the morning of July 25, all senior officials and department heads of the Japanese cabinet and the base camp received a notice from the inner palace to convene an imperial meeting at 3 p.m., and all those who received the notice must attend.

    After receiving the news, the Japanese military leaders did not dare to neglect and began to make preparations one after another!

    This is a royal meeting, and what is being discussed is all major national policy matters. There will inevitably be some quarrels, so you must be prepared.

    ¡° Before three o¡¯clock, Prime Minister Konoe Fumima, Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yosuke, Interior Ministers Yasui Eiji, Hiranuma Kiichiro, Army Minister Tojo Hideki, Navy Minister Zengo Yoshida and others all arrived.

    Regarding the issue discussed at this imperial meeting, everyone already knew it beforehand, which was how to solve the incident in China.

    Seeing that everyone had arrived, Prime Minister Konoe Fumima stood up and said: "Your Majesty, everyone attending the meeting has arrived, and it's time to start!"

    "Um!"

    A soft word "um" represents the meaning of the emperor. As a god of eternity, the Emperor of Japan represents divinity, so unless it is a private occasion, he generally does not speak.

    Therefore, there is a very strange phenomenon during meetings, that is, the emperor usually does not speak. The entire meeting is presided over by the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. After the meeting, the emperor writes down his own ideas and decisions, and then hands them over to the people below for implementation.

    Of course, there are exceptions. For example, when you are too angry, you will utter a few Japanese curses, but this rarely happens. Once it happens, it means something big has happened!

    In Japan, the Imperial Council is a very serious meeting. Unlike the Cabinet meeting, the Imperial Council usually decides on military and state affairs, and internal affairs are generally not discussed in the Imperial Council.

    This meeting was chaired by Prime Minister Konoe Fumima, who was forming the cabinet for the third time. The other civil and military ministers knelt on both sides, clearly distinguishing themselves!

    "Gentlemen, it has been nearly three years since the Zhizhi/ incident. In these three years, our Imperial Japanese Army has achieved brilliant results. We have occupied most of the branch/that, and even even the company/  Both the capital and the temporary capital were occupied by the imperial army, which is the pride of all imperial subjects!"

    At this point, Konoe Fumima changed his voice and suddenly said: "But we cannot ignore one problem, that is, in order to support this war, the Empire of Japan consumed more than half of the wealth accumulated during the Meiji period. Now the domestic  The economy has reached a dangerous point of being unsustainable, so how we should face this war requires your careful consideration!"

    "In addition, the actual situation on the front line should also be taken into consideration. In the past half year, the Imperial Japanese Army suffered an unprecedented defeat on the battlefield. Neither the Imperial Army in Central China nor the Imperial Army in North China had impressive results. On the contrary,  They all lost their troops and generals. According to incomplete statistics, in just half a year, the imperial army lost more than 70,000 soldiers on the Chinese battlefield. In addition, it lost countless weapons and equipment, which greatly affected the combat effectiveness of the imperial army!"

    Konoe Fumima is very eloquent. Through his mouth, in just a few words, he introduced the things to be discussed today.

    At the same time, it also allowed the Japanese military leaders present to have an intuitive feeling about the current situation on the front line, so that they would not turn black and start talking nonsense!

    Japan's senior leaders are quite satisfied with this prime minister who has been authorized by the emperor to form a cabinet three times, because Konoe Fumima has been a very capable prime minister in recent decades after the rise of Nawamoto. He is said to be infinitely close to Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi.  The presence of the Grand Duke.

    As soon as he finished speaking, former Prime Minister Yoneuchi Mitsumasa stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I reiterate that we must stop the war as soon as possible, otherwise the Japanese Empire will face the biggest crisis in the past century, and even endanger the foundation of the empire.  "

    As a famous military strategist and politician during Japan¡¯s Showa era, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi is undoubtedly the elite among Japan¡¯s upper-class elites!

    It¡¯s just that he has different opinions from the current main war trend in Japan. While Minai saw the invincibility of the Japanese army, he also saw the hidden dangers hidden under the glorious record!

    Therefore, he actively advocates peace talks with China, and even opposes strengthening ties with Germany and Italy.

    "Under the Mi Cabinet, you are still so stubborn. Has a small failure caused you, the former Navy Minister and former Prime Minister, to lose the blood and honor of the military?" The one who stood up to speak was Army Minister Hideki Tojo.  .

    Tojo Hideki's background is not prominent, and his resume is not particularly eye-catching, but he is shameless enough. His characteristic is that after hearing what others say, he will use "borrowingism" whenever he thinks it is reasonable.  ", for meUsed, and the performance is more intense.  In fact, he does not have any "original opinions" in his heart, which is one of the reasons why Kanji Ishihara, who is known as a strategist, looks down on him the most.

    But this person's luck is good enough. After experiencing the revolving door changes of the cabinets of Hiranuma Kiichiro, Abe Nobuyuki, and Yoneuchi Mitsumasa, not long ago, Konoe Fumimaro once again came out to form the cabinet. In Konoe's cabinet formation this time, the tough one  The militarist Hideki Tojo was appointed as Prime Minister.

    At this time, Tojo Hideki can be said to be the proudest moment in his life, so he was very rude when he spoke!

    To be honest, there was no conflict between him and Mitsumasa Yoneuchi before, or the two didn¡¯t have much intersection before!

    However, since early January of Showa 14, the then Minister of War, Seishiro Itagaki, proposed a plan to strengthen the agreement between Japan, Germany, and Italy on the defense of the Communists, and submitted it to the cabinet meeting as an important item of national policy, with the intention of establishing a  Alliance.

    ¡° However, this plan was fully opposed by Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, Vice Minister Yamamoto Isoroku, and Military Affairs Director Narimi Inoue. However, the Army stubbornly persisted, resulting in a situation of serious confrontation between the Army and Navy, and then the relationship between the two sides became tense.

    In the subsequent cabinet meetings, the two sides argued about this matter more than 70 times!

    During this period, there were rumors in the society that Yine and Yamamoto were assassinated, which caused a temporary commotion.  In this chaotic situation, Yone, Yamamoto and others refused to give in and fought tenaciously for their position.

    As the differences between the two sides grew larger and larger, the relationship between the Army and Mitsumasa Yoneuchi gradually deteriorated, so that no matter what the occasion, there would always be a dispute as long as the two sides were present.

    "Hmph! Private Tojo, I'm afraid you are the one who is stubborn, right?"

    Then Mitsumasa Yoneuchi said angrily: "Don't you know how far the economy in the empire has deteriorated? Do you think that if you continue to fight, you can force the rebels to surrender?"

    "Hahaha, why not? That person is just at the end of a powerful crossbow. As long as the Empire of Japan works harder, it will definitely be defeated!" Tojo Hideki said loudly.

    "Private Tojo, you are using your stupid head to send the empire to a dead end! As far as the current situation is concerned, it is simply a daydream to want the surrender of the army. Let me tell you, as long as the army cannot surrender the army within half a year,  If that person is completely eliminated, then all strategic material reserves in the country will be completely exhausted, and then your soldiers will have to fight with that person with their bayonets!" Minai sneered.

    "Minai, our army is invincible. Even with bayonets drawn, we can defeat the incompetent rebels. Back then, we could defeat the 300,000 Northeastern Army with only 20,000 soldiers. We could defeat the 300,000 Northeastern Army with 1 million  People will destroy 3 million/that army!" Tojo Hideki shouted.

    "Hmph! Tojo, are you kidding?"

    Then Mitsumasa Yoneuchi sneered coldly: "That's right. It's precisely because of the Minister of War like you that the Imperial Army of Japan is getting worse day by day. Don't always use your previous achievements to flaunt yourself as a hero. Use your support.  /That said, a good man is not brave enough to be brave."

    "Bagaare you provoking our army?" Tojo Hideki said with anger in his eyes.

    Mitsumasa Yoneuchi said disdainfully: "Provocation? Haha, are you worthy?"
