    Tokyo. Prime Minister¡¯s Official Residence.

    In the study room, Prime Minister Tojo and his close confidant Ryoji Shifang were having a drink across a small table.

    Ryoji Shigata, with the rank of major general, was the captain of the Tokyo Military Police at the time. He was one of Tojo's most trusted subordinates. This man, along with Lieutenant General Suzuki Teichi and Lieutenant General Kato Tomarijiro, were known as the three traitors.

    "Mr. Sifang, has the lame man done anything strange in recent days?"

    Shifang Rangji knows who the cripple the Prime Minister is referring to is Masago Nakano who has been crazily slandering you during this period.

    When Nakano Masago was young, his left leg had to be amputated at the base due to a doctor's mistake during the operation. He has since become a cripple who walks on one leg.  Coupled with his fickleness and eagerness to take power, people called him "the number one political gypsy", "Don Quixote" and "a Hummer".

    "Your Excellency, in the past few days, Nakano has met with Okada Keisuke, Yonei, Grand Duke Konoe and others one after another. He seems to be preparing to attack you. Do you want to arrest him?" Ryoji Shigata replied.

    Tojo Hideki shook his head and said: "It's not necessary yet, I have my own solution. You continue to monitor these people. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately!"

    "Hai!"

    ?¡­

    With such a big thing happening in the backyard, it is impossible for Tojo Hideki not to know about it. He himself is not a civilian prime minister like Fumuma Konoe. He has no power in his hands, so it is more difficult to deal with the matter.

    As the Prime Minister of the Army, Tojo Hideki has too many combatants at his disposal, and the "Super High", the military police and the army are all his magic weapons to deal with "dangerous elements" like Nakano Masago.

    After seeing off R¨­ji Shik¨­, Tojo did not go back to the house to rest, but started drinking alone.

    He is not a good boy in the traditional sense. He has been fond of fighting since he was a child. He never thought that one day he would become the Prime Minister of the Empire of Japan, becoming the first Prime Minister and Prime Minister in the history of the Empire.  figure.

    In fact, Tojo himself was shocked by his fate. As early as Showa 13, he returned to Japan from the puppet Manchukuo and became the deputy minister of the Ministry of War.  At that time, the average Japanese's impression of him still remained as the commander of the 24th Kurume Brigade.

    According to the tradition of the Japanese Army, his military experience was basically "disarming and returning to the field" and ended in mediocrity.

    However, tradition is obviously not for him, and there are many incredible things in his life.

    ¡°Tojo has never felt that he is a politician with clear political ideals, nor is he a big boss who can gather people¡¯s hearts and form his own faction. He has never even thought that he can reach the top.

    But now it has strangely reached the "peak". Perhaps the most reasonable explanation is that "the times make heroes."

    Tojo believes this, because along the way, events that are conducive to his promotion will always happen at critical moments.

    First of all, the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo gave him a "free ride".

    During the Showa era, the biggest turning point in Japanese history was actually the "September 18th Incident".  After Japan won the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, almost all Japanese were immersed in unimaginable excitement.

    But the ecstatic Japanese looked back and discovered that although they had achieved military victories on the battlefields of the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, they did not own all the land on the battlefields.  They thought that what they had achieved was a victory in name only, and their joy was entirely in vain.

    The Japanese, who have always been self-sacrificing, are a little angry. They have to get something, right?

    Launching the "September 18th Incident" and sending troops to occupy Northeast China may not be a manifestation of this "compensatory psychology."

    At that time, Tojo was still serving as the first section chief of the General Staff Headquarters, and his colleagues had no real relationship with the plan.  However, as early as three years before the September 18th Incident, Tojo said that "in order to ensure the survival space of the empire, it is necessary to establish political rights in Manchuria and Mongolia."

    However, Tojo himself knew that this was not his own idea, but just a performance he made to suit the situation.

    The characteristic of him is that after hearing what others say, he will "use it" for his own use, and his performance will be more intense if he thinks it is reasonable.  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.

    However, what cannot be ignored is that these remarks of following what others say and selling now gave him the opportunity to intervene on the Manchuria issue and got the ticket.  After that, he successfully passed through Manchukuo, the recognized "gilded holy land", and entered the center of power.

    ?Another incident also allowed him to "take advantage". Zhang Zuolin was assassinated in 1928. The then Prime Minister Tanaka Yiichi failed to respond well and was severely reprimanded by the Emperor.

    Afterwards, Tanaka resigned almost in tears. Less than three months after leaving the position of prime minister, Tanaka Yiichi died suddenly.

    ¡°Perhaps out of shame or a desire to evade responsibility, after this incident, even if he had objections to matters reported to the cabinet, the emperor would no longer veto them.

    The emperor's mentality gave him a chance to come forward. Tojo's formal "emperor supremacy" won the opportunity, that is, he did not refute the emperor and acted in accordance with the emperor's wishes, lest the emperor have to refute his ministers and undermine himself.  The "precept".

    What I mentioned above are all objective conditions. The most important thing is actually the death of Nagata Tetsuyama.  Tojo knew very well that the reason why he came to power was related to the internal struggle of the Japanese Army, which was "constantly cutting things off and causing confusion."

    ???Previously, the dispute between the Imperial Faction and the Control Faction within the Japanese Army had been very serious. The most serious conflict was the so-called "Aizawa Incident."

    The leader of the ruling faction at the time, Major General Nagata Tetsuzan, Chief of Military Affairs, had a high prestige in the military and was often considered to be the person who would "bear the burden of the Japanese Army in the future."  And Nagata admired Tojo very much. At that time, Sadao Araki, the central figure of the Imperial Road Sect, openly "remained the same and discarded the differences" in the Army Ministry, clamoring that the economy and politics should be sidelined and everything should be governed by the emperor himself.  As a backbone of the ruling faction, Nagata used his position in the army to fight fiercely with the young generals of the Imperial faction in the army center.

    But what people didn¡¯t expect was that Nagata¡¯s iron fist attack brought disaster to himself. ¡°He died before he left the battlefield, and heroes were often assassinated.¡±

    On August 12, Showa 10, Saburo Aizawa of the Imperial Way faction openly broke into the Office of the Ministry of War in broad daylight and brutally murdered Tetsuzan Nagata.

    Hatter the golden line every year and marry others.

    It was Nagata Tetsuyama who paid the price of his life, but it was Tojo who benefited from this incident. Nagata used his life to push Tojo to a higher platform.  After this incident, Tojo gradually took over the position of his good friend Nagata Tetsuyama.

    If Tojo's huge influence in the army forced the emperor to consider using him to stabilize the army, then one of the most trusted people by the emperor at the time, Kido Koichi Tojo Hideki, the grandson of Kido Takayoshi, the founding hero of the Meiji Empire,  The strong recommendation further strengthened the emperor¡¯s decision.

    At this critical moment that will affect the development of world history, the emperor finally agreed to his suggestion.

    Although the political situation is currently turbulent and many people are ready to laugh at his jokes, Tojo himself is not worried.

    What those people relied on were only those outdated ministers and the defeat of the Imperial Japanese Army on the front line. In Tojo's view, these were not enough to shake his foundation.

    Nakano Masaaki just pulled a few people with him and wanted to overthrow him. How easy is that?

    ¡°Tojo¡¯s ability to reach this point depends not only on luck, but also on strength.

    Although he has many political opponents in the DPRK, most of them are his subordinates, cronies and allies, including Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Aoi, Tibetan Prime Minister Kagoya Konobu, Marine Minister Shitaro Shimada, and Planning Institute President Suzuki Sadao.  Wait a minute.

    "Compared with these powerful people, the strength of Nakano Masago and others is not enough. What's more important is that they have no soldiers.

    "If you don't have soldiers, you won't have the confidence to speak. This means that the scholar's rebellion has not been completed for ten years. It is impossible to bring down his cabinet with words alone. Tojo firmly believes in this.

    But it¡¯s not okay to let these people make noise in your ears. You have to find a way to catch them all and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys.

    Soon, a plan was formed in Tojo's mind.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
