    When Ryoji Shigata left, Tojo did not leave the study, but fell into deep thought.

    Regarding the current political crisis, Tojo¡¯s first feeling is anger, followed by unwillingness.

    Those important ministers want to separate the positions of Prime Minister and Chief of Staff. On the surface, they say it is to improve the structure of the imperial army's base camp. But in fact, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong. Its real purpose is to consolidate his military and political power.  The Prime Minister, who was all in one, stood down.

    This reminded Tojo of his father, how similar his experience was to him.

    Although his father Hideyoshi Tojo was a lieutenant general in the army, his status in the army was far beyond that of an ordinary lieutenant general. As early as the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, his father served as a staff officer of the base camp, assisting the Japanese army generals and base camp.  Kawakami Soroku, the Army Chief of Staff, won victory after victory against the Qing Empire, so his father was also known as a "wise general" and was called a "talent" within the staff.

    Although my father was a top-notch strategist within the Army Ministry, and his military book "Tactics at Luzhichen" was even called the "Army's Guide", his resolute and unyielding character caused conflicts with factions within the Ministry, which set the stage for the Army at that time.  General Terauchi, the minister and giant of the Choshu warlords, could not tolerate it and retired from active service as a lieutenant general.

    However, until his death, his father, who had "unfulfilled ambitions", believed that he had not been promoted to a general because he had been excluded, and he would not rest in peace until his death.

    Precisely because he knew his father's affairs since he was a child, Tojo Hideki knew very early that he could not be like his father, so he was very good at ostracizing others when running his career, instead of being the target of ostracism like his father.

    "What he didn't expect was that after so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, he still couldn't escape the calculations of others, leading to the current mess that was difficult to deal with.

    Tojo¡¯s heart was filled with anger and unwillingness. Unwilling to suffer, he wanted to send people to arrest all those bullshit important officials and then hand them over to the military police for interrogation, just like that local dog-like Nakano Masako.

    But he also knew that those important ministers were not Masako Nakano after all. Behind each of them were the most famous families and chaebols in Japan. If these people united, even His Majesty the Emperor would have to submit, let alone Tojo Hideki.  .

    But Tojo surrendered like this without replying, he would never sit still and wait for death!

    Tojo¡¯s personality is different from that of his father, but he is inseparable from his father¡¯s education and influence.  Since he was a child, he was a naughty boy who didn't like reading and loved to fight.  Because of his naughty personality and constant troublemaking, his mother was called to school countless times.

    ?????????? The life in his teenage years is particularly memorable for Tojo Hideki, but he cannot bear to look back.  Because of his naughty and mischievous behavior, his parents were frustrated at school, so when he got home, his parents repaid him twice as much.

    Therefore, the Tojo family was constantly fighting. Sometimes it was "women's singles", sometimes it was "men's singles", and sometimes it was "mixed doubles". Anyway, after every fight, Tojo's ass paid a heavy price.  The price is the "pause button".

    ¡° Moreover, his father was a soldier and was extremely strict with his son, sometimes even making Tojo unable to get out of bed for a week.

    For example, when he was twelve years old, his father, Tojo Eikyo, asked him to pull out the grass in the yard.  However, Tojo was just having fun and went home hungry when it was almost time to light up the lights.  His father didn't listen to any explanation at all, so he gave him another beating and ordered him to finish pulling out the grass within an hour, otherwise he would not be allowed to eat.

    His father¡¯s strict discipline and severe corporal punishment had a profound impact on the young Tojo Hideki.

    Many educationists and psychologists have pointed out that if a child is often physically punished at home during his childhood, his psychology will be distorted or even abnormal as an adult.

    And before Tojo Hideki reached adulthood, he showed some signs of extreme personality. Once, he got into a fight with a child who was much older than him and was severely beaten.  The older child pushed him to the ground, tightened his neck, and asked him, "Do you accept it?"

    However, no matter how tight he was, he would never say "submit", and in the end he still refused to admit defeat with tears in his eyes.  Because of his stubbornness and persistence, he forced the other party to give in.

    Over the years, it is precisely by relying on this indomitable and shameless character that Tojo Hideki has climbed to the pinnacle of power step by step. His desire for power makes him unwilling to hand over the power in his hands. If  Anyone who dares to forcefully seize power from him, then Tojo is not someone to be trifled with.

    Although he was very angry, Tojo Hideki also knew that the current situationThe reality has reached a point where change is inevitable.

    In view of the current defeat in the war, Tojo also knows that he can no longer monopolize power as before, so he must carefully consider the conditions proposed by his important ministers.

    Since the beginning of the war, Prime Minister Tojo has often gathered with important ministers in an effort to communicate ideas.

    However, the content of the gatherings was mostly about etiquette and social gatherings, and there was no in-depth discussion of actual war guidance issues.

    Tojo¡¯s idea is that to guide today¡¯s complex war, all factors must be comprehensively analyzed and should not be influenced by fragmentary phenomena or personal impressions.  The opinions and criticisms of important ministers can only be used as a reference and cannot be constrained by them.

    His attitude, coupled with his personal character, created an emotional gap with most of the important ministers.  Being entangled in this kind of emotional problem, coupled with the deterioration of the war situation, has formed criticism of the war guidance, and developed into the current violent cabinet rebellion activities.

    The four important ministers, Duke Konoe, Baron Wakatsuki, Baron Hiranuma, and General Okada, were particularly close to each other and formed a sharp opposition to Prime Minister Tojo.

    However, Tojo knew that these four important ministers did not have the same ideas.

    At present, although Konoe has the idea of ????anti-war and seeking peace deep in his heart, his dislike for the army is relatively strong.

    ???????? Specifically speaking, Konoe admitted that some people within the army harbored left-leaning revolutionary intentions.  This tendency of the Army is more dangerous to Japan than defeat, so the Army must be suppressed.

    Konoe originally even said that this war might fail in the end, but all war responsibilities should be solely borne by him, Tojo. Therefore, it was inappropriate to change the cabinet midway and confuse the ownership of responsibilities. He even took the blame or committed suicide prematurely.  It¡¯s not easy to handle either, which is good news for him.

    However, after the defeats at Midway Island and Guadalcanal, the two ministers Wakatsuki and Hiranuma were influenced by Konoe, and their ideas gradually changed. They believed that changing the cabinet was a prerequisite for peace.

    "The ideas of General Okada and General Yoneuchi were opposed to the Army from the beginning, and Marine Minister Shimada was notorious within the Navy, which made this tendency even stronger.

    The so-called Marine Minister Shimada is notorious within the Navy means that he is completely at the mercy of the Army. This tendency has become stronger since he became the Chief of Military Command.  In addition to this emotional problem, due to the defeat at Midway Island, the Japanese navy lost its strength. Taking this actual situation as a turning point, the two generals Okada and Yoneuchi were extremely pessimistic about the future of the war, so they gradually tended to seek peace.  idea.

    The attitude of the two important ministers Hirota and Abe was that although they were deeply worried about the future of the war, they did not have the emotional problems mentioned above that actively opposed him Tojo, but wanted to handle the current situation with a selfless attitude.

    In particular, General Abe did not hesitate to provide good-faith cooperation and support in order to ease the antagonism between Tojo and his ministers.

    And these are all opportunities for Tojo. As long as they operate well, they may not be able to change the current unfavorable situation.

    But Tojo also knows that right now, the most fundamental thing to say is the performance of the frontline troops.

    "If the troops on the front line perform well and can achieve several great victories, it doesn't matter even if those at home are restless. His Majesty the Emperor will still trust him.

    On the contrary, if the performance of the frontline troops becomes worse and worse, then the domestic situation will also be extremely passive.

    Fortunately, the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters has been very aggressive in its offensive in Central China during this period. If it can continue to go deeper westward, it may even capture Chongqing and force the Chinese government to surrender, and the current political crisis will be easily resolved.

    To this end, Tojo decided to personally give an order to the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
