Part Three The Bloody War of Resistance Chapter 10 The Furious Waves Section 8 Heavenly Fire (2)

Suzuki Kantaro stood up, walked slowly to the window, closed the window, and shouted: "Your Excellency!"

Suzuki Kantaro sighed and made a gesture to Donggou to sit down, but Donggo stood stubbornly and motionless. Suzuki Kantaro smiled bitterly.

"Dongxiangjun, I know you are very anxious, and I am also anxious, but you know that the army and the navy disagree. Without their support, the cabinet can do nothing."

"As the Prime Minister, you should exert your influence and decisiveness." Dongxiang continued to move forward step by step.

Suzuki Kantaro looked at him, and Togo stepped forward two steps closer to Suzuki Kantaro lowered his voice: "The Army has now proposed the outline of the final battle, and this is an opportunity. Unless they agree that we will start negotiations with the allies in Switzerland, the cabinet will not approve this outline."

Suzuki was stunned. At the previous cabinet meeting, Togo was the most opposed, but now he wanted to take this risk. Suzuki couldn't help but shake his head: "No, this outline is too risky. This is completely annihilated Japanese descent, absolutely not."

Dongxiang sneered: "I know it won't work, but this is just an outline. If the Navy can win the Battle of Mariana, our negotiations in Switzerland may go smoothly. If not, the Navy and Army will fail completely, what reason do they have to oppose the peace talks?"

"But they still object? I know that there are many stubborn guys in the army." Suzuki Kantaro was skeptical. He was very aware of the stubbornness of the army. Because he had implemented some gentle policies, the army dared to launch the 226 incident. Now he still has shrapnel that has not been taken out.

"You can ask Your Majesty for the Holy Prison at that time." Dongxiang's eyes flashed and his expression was very firm.

Suzuki looked at Togo in surprise and knew that the cabinet could not decide that the emperor would be ruling. This had not been passed since the Meiji Restoration. The Meiji Constitution stipulated that the emperor was a symbol of the country, but the emperor's actual power was not very large. In name, the emperor had absolute power. In fact, the constitution stipulated that the emperor's power was performed by the cabinet. The army and the navy had the power to command and report the tent. The cabinet could not interfere.

This system determines that military power is beyond the cabinet, which is also the reason why the army frequently interferes in the cabinet's decisions.

Only the Emperor has the power to restrict the army, but none of the previous cabinets exercised this power. Today, Togo proposed it, but Suzuki Kanshuro did not dare to agree easily.

"Your Excellency, this is the only way." Donggo looked very serious and stared at Suzuki.

Suzuki thought for a while and said, "Wait first, you can ask the Swiss ambassador to secretly contact the allies and test their attitude. Our conditions are three: keep the emperor system, and do not pay compensation, and judge the war criminals by yourself."

Donggo nodded slightly, and he felt relieved. The Prime Minister finally agreed to let him take a step first. This was a very small step, but it might be a life-and-death step for Japan. However, based on his decades of diplomatic experience, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union may not be so easy to accept such terms. With his idea, as long as the emperor system is retained, everything else can be agreed first.

But before he could speak, Suzuki added another one: "We must not garrison troops in our country, after all, the war has not yet reached our local area."

If Togo is silent, he will probably not be able to convince Suzuki now, so he can only sigh: "Okay."

After saying that, Dongxiang was about to leave, and Suzuki called him again, and a new idea emerged in his mind: "Dongxiangjun, can you contact Chiang Kai-shek through the Nanjing National Government? We are on the condition of handing over to Jiangnan and Manzhou..."

Donggo smiled bitterly, Suzuki immediately added: "If you add North Korea, half of North Korea, um, or Taiwan."

Dongxiang sighed. Suzuki was old and a little confused. How much benefit did the United States and Britain give China more benefits? Taiwan Ryukyu. Now Suzuki can mention Manchuria and Taiwan, but once it is proposed in the cabinet, will the army and the navy agree? I am afraid it will also make a fuss.

"You can try it." Dongxiang didn't have any confidence in his heart: "I heard that the Chinese dispatched troops have always had channels to contact Chongqing, so that they can test Chongqing's attitude."

Suzuki shook his head. He had no hope for the Army. The Army guys had no idea of ​​change at all. They were just stubborn, as if they were not so unspeakable that they could not show their patriotism. The affairs of the country were ruined by these guys.

"Let them try it. After trying it, they will know what critical moment it has reached in the state."

Suzuki understood that Dongxiang didn't believe that the things he gave could satisfy Chiang Kai-shek, and let the army try it out to lay the foundation for the future.

The Secretary of the Army is the actual leader of the Japanese army and is the position that every Japanese general dreams of. However, after Nishio Suzusaki became the Minister of the Army, he did not feel any honor at all, only a bunch of unsolvable troubles.

The Kwantung Army needs ammunition and force: The Southern Army needs ammunition: The Chinese dispatched army (excluding the Kwantung Army) needs ammunition and force: the domestic army needs weapons and ammunition to train recruits: the country produces only so much steel pots and copper, and the navy is still robbing, grabbing steel, planes and gasoline, it seems like it is crazy to be poor and grab everything.

The army province was not quiet, and Okamura Yasuji led the Beiping defenders to surrender. The army province was in a big uproar. Young officers rushed into his office and demanded that Okamura Yasuji be expelled from military service. The news inspection department took action immediately and severely blocked the news.

The joint meeting of the cabinet cabinet was held for three days, and the final battle was not approved, which caused the already unstable military officials to explode. Almost all the officers at home rushed to the office of Nishio Shouzao and asked him to take a tough attitude towards the cabinet. If he could not, he would resign firmly. The army would not send anyone to serve as the Minister of the Army.

"Ba!" Nishio Suzuo couldn't help it anymore and slapped the table in anger: "What are you going to do!

When the country is in crisis, it is time for us to work together to overcome difficulties! But you are planning to overthrow the cabinet! What do you want to do? Do you want the country to fall into chaos!"

The officers were shocked, and the office was silent. Nishio Shuzao was furious. When he was still in China, he was very disgusted with the young and strong sects of the Army Province. But he also knew that these young and strong officers were very energetic and could even control strategies and tactics, criticizing those lieutenant generals, and their purpose might be to hang a golden bean on their shoulders.

"From the Lugou Bridge Incident to the present, the cabinet has been changed frequently, the national strategy has been vague, and the frontline soldiers have suffered a lot. Whenever they talk about it, his Majesty has entrusted the army to me. During my tenure, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen! "To implement the outline of the general final battle, the cabinet must be approved and implemented with the support of the cabinet. Without the support of the cabinet, this outline is just a piece of waste paper. The cabinet has been dissolved. Who will implement this outline? Even this is not clear. I am still talking about the national policy here! I am really ashamed of you!"

Nishio Suzuo was sarcastic and sarcastic, and the officers' faces turned red and white. These officers did not meet such a tough minister. The previous ministers, including Hideki Tojo, who had always been tough, did not dare to do so under the pressure of so many officers.

The deputy military minister Takeo Imai looked around and saw that no one dared to speak. The situation was stalemate, so he had to bite the bullet and persuade him: "Your Excellency, everyone is also worried about national affairs, and he is inevitably anxious about his words. He is really going to overthrow the cabinet. Please forgive me!"

Nishio Suzusaki knew about the epilepsy disease in the Ministry of Army, so before accepting the nomination of the minister, he made a request to make personnel adjustments to the Ministry of Army of Army, which is actually to clean up and clean up all the officers he didn't like, including the previous official Kimura Hitaro, who used Takeo Imai who brought back from China, and the director of the Personnel Bureau was appointed by Kazuka Nakajima, who escaped from the North China dispatched troops.

Having mastered these two key departments, Nishio Suzusa has the confidence to control the Army Ministry.

Among these officials, Kazunashi Nakajima was the only division commander who led the team out of the encirclement in the Battle of North China. After the war, he was transferred back to Tokyo to serve as the director of the Personnel Bureau. Nishio Shuzuo admired him very much. Kazunashi Nakajima was unwilling to do this, so he was more willing to go to the General Staff as an operational staff officer, but Kazuo Nishio firmly disagreed and asked him to do it.

In today's scene, let Hua understand a little about Nishio Suzuo's purpose of staying in the Army Province.

"Worried about national affairs?" Nishio Suzuo did not save face for Takeo Imai and sneered and mocked: "I think it's a boast. Have you heard of the enemy's gunshots? Do you know the actual oak situation on the front line?"

Speaking of this, when Suzuki Kantaro became prime minister, there was a rumor in the Ministry of Army that the defeated general of the Chinese dispatched army would rule the Ministry of Army. As a result, not only Nishio Suzusaki became the Minister of the Army, but the second officer was also appointed Takeo Imai, who was born in the Chinese dispatched army. The director of the Personnel Bureau, who seemed inconspicuous but very important, was appointed by the defeated general of the North China dispatched army, Kazuken Nakajima. These personnel appointments made the staff of the Ministry of Army a little crazy.

After Nakajima arrived at the Army Province, he was attacked by many cold words, which made him more aware of the arrogance of these staff members of the Army Province. They were even unwilling to admit that the absolute advantage of the Zhongzhan team in terms of firepower and military strength. Some staff members were even using the calculation method of a Japanese brigade formulated at the beginning of the war when formulating combat plans, which made him completely speechless.

Today, these arrogant staff members saw the majesty of the new Army Minister. Nishio Suzusaki continued to sarcastically sarcastically and every sentence was punished.

"…Hide in Tokyo, hide in the Army Provincial Building, watch the sky from a well! Build cars behind closed doors!" Nishio Shouta grabbed a stack of paper in front of him and threw it into the staff officer: "Look at the combat plan you have formulated, it's a pile of waste paper! Do you know what the Chinese army looks like now?! Do you know how many artillery pieces of their division are equipped with? How many tanks can they put into this battle? Do you have no idea at all, and are still talking about strategies and tactics!"

"Your Excellency!" A major standing in the front row couldn't bear it, and trembled all over and shouted in a hoarse voice: "You,..."

Takeo Imai immediately interrupted him: "Okay! You go out first. Your minister has his own opinion in his heart. You won't sit down and see if the outline is delayed. Go out, Nakajima, come here."

The resoluteness on the Major's face was still the same. Hattori Chuo Shiro pulled him. The Major swallowed the words he was about to say with difficulty, and slowly turned around and left. Kazushika Nakajima stood at the end of the team, looking indifferently at the officers leaving, and at the same time welcoming the anger and indignation in their eyes.@.
