    In the end, the emperor did not express his opinion on the spot whether he would accept the third resignation of the Konoe Cabinet, and the imperial meeting had to be temporarily terminated because Prime Minister Riku forced the resignation of the Cabinet Chief!

    But just when everyone thought that His Majesty the Emperor still trusted Grand Duke Konoe, what was unexpected was that just two days later, His Majesty the Emperor decided to accept the decision of the third Konoe Cabinet to resign.

    News from the Imperial Palace stated that His Majesty the Emperor was dissatisfied with some actions of the Cabinet on the Chinese battlefield. In addition, Grand Duke Konoe was not very enthusiastic about the Imperial Holy War, so the Emperor decided to replace him.

    Now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, the issue of who will succeed the Prime Minister of the Cabinet has become the most important thing for everyone!

    Judging from the current situation, the Empire of Japan is in urgent need of a prime minister who can take on important responsibilities. At present, it is really hard to see who has this ability.

    With the resignation of the Chief of the Konoe Cabinet, the Army and Navy Command is quite concerned about this, fearing that there will be a gap in the implementation of national policies due to the change of cabinet, which will cause the planned combat preparations to be shaken.

    The headquarters estimates that no matter what kind of cabinet is formed, the only response to the real situation will be to go to war.

    However, the high command is still worried about the development of the situation. Once there is a cabinet that insists on peace no matter what the situation is, military requirements will be completely ignored.

    However, what was even more unexpected was that just one day later, on the recommendation of Interior Minister Koichi Kido, the emperor ordered Tojo to form a cabinet.

    The reason is that the current situation is urgent, and the successor prime minister must be someone who is responsible for current state affairs, familiar with the situation, and can really control the Ministry of War. At present, it is none other than Tojo Hideki.

    On October 18, the first military cabinet prime minister in Japanese history appeared!

    On the first day of taking office, Tojo Hideki met with the emperor as usual. The emperor asked Prime Minister Tojo: "If a war starts, the whole country must always be unanimous. Do the ministers agree? How about letting the ministers attend the imperial meeting?"

    Faced with this question, Tojo hesitated for a moment before replying: "The Imperial Council is a meeting in which the government responsible for advising the state and the army and navy commander responsible for assisting the commander-in-chief report their opinions from the perspective of their respective responsibilities.  A meeting to request His Majesty¡¯s decision. Important ministers do not shoulder responsibilities, so I think it is inappropriate to allow irresponsible people to participate in deliberation and decision-making on such an important issue.¡±

    ¡°The previous meeting of military counselors held in front of the imperial court was held after repeated consideration. Your Majesty was asked to consult the military counselors who have important military responsibilities from a military perspective.  It is not appropriate for important ministers to attend the imperial meeting."

    After that, the emperor asked: "Then, how about having a serious talk with the important ministers in front of the emperor?"

    "Can!"

    Soon, the serious talks between the government and important ministers were settled and held in the palace.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 9 important ministers including Wakatsuki Reijiro, Hiranuma Kiichiro, Hirota Koki, Konoe Fumimaro, Hayashi Senjuro, Abe Nobuyuki, Okada Keisuke, Yoneuchi Mitsumasa and the former Privy Council Speaker.

    On the government side, Prime Minister Tojo, Minister Shimada Kai, Foreign Minister Togo, Minister Kagoya, and President of Suzuki Planning Institute attended the meeting.

    Before noon, the government gave an explanation and conducted questions and responses.  After everyone accompanied the emperor to dinner, the ministers presented their respective opinions in the imperial study. Afterwards, questions and answers were held between the government and the ministers.

    Most of the ministers believe that the status quo can be maintained without going to war. This is because they are uneasy about the trend of national strength and public sentiment in maintaining a long-term war. Admiral Okada Keisuke especially emphasized this point.

    Reijiro Wakatsuki emphasized that if this war was for Japan's independence and survival, it would have to be fought even if it meant defeat.  But it is very dangerous to resort to force if it is not for this purpose.

    Three important ministers, Hirota Koki, Hayashi Semijuro and Abe Nobuyuki, believed that since the government¡¯s determination to go to war was made after careful preparation, they had no choice but to trust the government and express their agreement to go to war.

    Prime Minister Tojo refuted the theory of maintaining the status quo one by one. In the end, everything focused on the emperor. In the end, he could only decide whether to go to war.

    Later, Interior Minister Kido Koichi read out the emperor's handwritten edict: "The empire repeatedly made concessions in negotiations with the United States in order to maintain peace. Unexpectedly, the United States completely acted as Chiang Kai-shek's spokesperson, spouting the same idealistic clich¨¦s. Its attitude was self-centered.  , is stubborn and rude, which is really regrettable. This attitude is absolutely intolerable in our country."

    "If you endure humiliation and submit, you will not only be buried together??The results of the Japanese-Qing and Japanese-Russian campaigns, and had to give up the results of the Manchurian Incident.  It's tolerable, but it's intolerable!  It is unbearable to allow the people who have overcome the suffering of the China Incident for more than four years to endure even greater suffering.  However, it is obvious that the survival of the empire is currently threatened, and Emperor Meiji's achievements will be completely lost. In this case, even trying to find a way will be useless.  Therefore, I believe that it is necessary to go to war in accordance with the previous decision of the Imperial Council.  "

    "The last thing I want to say is that the Empire of Japan will win the first battle. There is no doubt about it. But in the case of a long-term war, we must not only win the victory, but also stabilize the people's hearts. This is indeed a major undertaking since the founding of the country.  , we must overcome the difficulties and resolve them as soon as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to consider how to end the war from now on."

    "There is no doubt that the national spirit of the people living under such an excellent national system is unparalleled. However, once the war becomes protracted, some people will have wrong ideas. At the same time, the enemy will continue to carry out conspiracy and instigation, trying to start from within.  Disintegrate us. People who are full of patriotism will sometimes inevitably plan such internal activities to disintegrate us. This is the most worrying thing."

    "In view of the current situation, war is really unavoidable. I firmly trust our extremely loyal soldiers and decide not to hesitate to fight."

    Perhaps because he was attracted to the high point, after the imperial edict was read out by the minister of internal affairs, the emperor surprisingly impromptu recited a Japanese song written by Emperor Meiji: "We are all brothers in the four seas, why is there such a turmoil in the world?"

    The emperor's speech at the imperial meeting was unprecedented, and the meeting could not help but feel solemn.

    With the emperor¡¯s final decision, the war expansionists headed by Tojo Hideki finally put their hearts in their hearts and began to actively prepare for the real Greater East Asia War.

    No one thought that the success or failure of a seemingly insignificant battle on the Chinese battlefield could cause such a big stir.

    Not only did it force the evergreen figure in Japanese politics, Konoe Fumima, to collapse for the third time, but it also brought Hideki Tojo, a war madman, to the throne of prime minister. It even prompted Japan to make up its mind to go to war with the United States, Britain and other countries.  .

    This may be the so-called butterfly effect. A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest in South America, occasionally flapping its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.

    Compared with the tornado in Texas, this storm is obviously more huge and more difficult to end!
