Chapter 1188 The Last Prime Minister
Tanaka Shizui's face finally changed when he received the telegram. He said in a deep voice to Takashima: "Now is not the time to argue. I will send someone to verify what happened to the command center of the Guards Division! Then, let's make a decision!"
After a pause, Tanaka Shizui said coldly: "If there really is a rebellion, then we have to cut the mess quickly. Japan can no longer withstand this kind of noisy..."
"Hay..." Takashima responded, then hurriedly left to find someone to go to the command of the Guards Division to verify the matter. At the same time, the entire eastern army began to mobilize.
Always ready to deal with possible battles. Tanaka is not sure how many people were involved in the rebellion. If most of the Guard Division were involved, the likely result was that the Eastern Army had to go to suppress the rebellion.
And if it is only a small part, then you only need to send a squadron to arrest them all. But Tanaka needs to be prepared for both ways and deal with various possible situations at any time.
In a panic, a corps' forces began to gather towards the Eastern Army Command. All major traffic routes were blocked, and the Eastern Army Command, the Army Provincial and the General Staff entered a state of emergency.
"It seems that our actions have been noticed..." Takeshita Masahiko smiled helplessly, and the other officers around him were silent. They had thought of failure.
Instead, they didn't expect that they would fail so simply. They forgot one thing that all successful coups were participated by senior officials.
The reason why they were able to support this time is because Anan Weiji, as the Minister of the Army, acquiesced. If it were just themselves, they would have been arrested before they could be launched.
"Then...what should we do now?! Should we continue or terminate the action?!" Ida, who rushed back from outside, asked worriedly.
"We have no way out now. And the blood of Inaba Sang and the others cannot flow in vain!" A crazy harsh look flashed in Masahiko Takeshita's eyes, and he said ruthlessly: "Give orders, all troops will start to act! Target, Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki family!!"
"Hayi!!" Even if you are going to die in the end, it's better to die. The desperate coups began to become crazy, and they decided to slaughter some places and some people.
Those who betray Japanese interests in their minds will drag these people to hell together.
Just over 300 Japanese soldiers began to act with Takeshita Masahiko and others, and these people were already the ones who finally supported all their actions.
"You guys! Please follow me to eliminate the traitors. We will be loyal to the empire in the end!" Takeshita Masahiko had white belts on her head and took these more than 300 people to bow deeply to the palace where Hirohito was.
"Set off!!"
At this time, all intersections outside the Guard Division had been blocked. Countless figures were shaking on the street. Before Takeshita Masahiko and the others could get close, they heard warnings from afar.
"Stop moving forward immediately! Everyone put down their weapons and wait for Commander Tanaka to come and deal with it!" The Japanese commander at the obstacle looked coldly at Masahiko Takeshita and others who were getting closer, and said in a deep voice: "No one should get closer. Otherwise we will implement military law! Repeat, no one should get closer! Otherwise, military law will be engaged!!"
Takeshita Masahiko and others stopped, but after they stopped, they made an action that scared the Japanese officers who were in a garrison! But they saw them squatting down suddenly in front of the obstacle, and then a group of Japanese soldiers holding grenade launchers were exposed behind him.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang after countless obstacles.
They never expected that Masahiko Takeshita and others would really dare to take action! And they shot grenades at them without hesitation. So, without any preparation, these Japanese soldiers from the Eastern Army were beaten and dispersed.
"Roar over!" Takeshita Masahiko roared with red eyes, then the Japanese soldiers beside him howled like wolves and rushed towards the obstacle.
Amid the strange screams of wow, countless Japanese soldiers rushed through the obstacles and rushed towards the center of the street. Their goal was very simple, which was the Prime Minister's residence.
As long as you rush there and kill Suzuki Kantaro, then this will be their victory. All the Japanese soldiers following Masahiko Takeshita think so.
Now they have no other way to go, and the military headquarters has noticed their actions. The Eastern Army is coming. The only thing they can do is to kill Suzuki Kantaro and others who they think have sold the interests of the soldiers.
Soon, just a small team of garrison troops were washed away. Several remaining soldiers rushed to the Eastern Army Command to report on what happened here.
Takeshita Masahiko and others didn't have time to stop them. What they had to do now is to rush to the Prime Minister's residence to kill Suzuki before the Eastern Army realized what they were going to do.
"What?! They dare to attack our garrison troops?! Damn it! Send someone to stop them immediately!!" Tanaka Shizui walked to the map in an extremely irritable manner and glanced at it.
"The troops on these three street corners will go to intercept them immediately! They will definitely not be allowed to roam around and order other troops to gather at the scene! They will not be allowed to escape from the encirclement!"
"Hayi!!" The adjutant responded, then hurried down to convey the order. The departments that received the order began to assemble towards the formulation area.
He was preparing to intercept Takeshita Masahiko Takeshita and others, and Takeshita Masahiko Takeshita had broken through the defense and obstacles and headed towards the Prime Minister's Office. Takeshita Masahiko Takeshita did not keep the team silent along the way.
Instead, these Japanese soldiers were organized to keep shouting: "Heavenly punishes the traitors! The Empire is Chimelong!!"
The residents were trembling and closed the door tightly, and they didn't dare to move at all. The soldiers who were scattered were hiding in the corners of the streets, and they didn't dare to move.
"They came for me..." Suzuki Kantaro didn't seem to be afraid at all, and smiled and said softly: "Let them come. I also want to see what they plan to do with me..."
"Your Excellency! Now is not the time to talk about this. We should evacuate here quickly! For your sake and safety, we must leave the Prime Minister's Mansion..." The secretary said loudly nervously, trying to make Suzuki Kantaro avoid it.
"Makunoro!!" Suzuki Kantaro suddenly growled at the secretary: "Why should I hide?! Are they worthy of my escape?! They are just a group of idiots, but I want to see how capable they are to me!!"
After a pause, Suzuki Kantaro said to the secretary: "You take your wife and children away first, I will meet them alone here!"
"Your Excellency..." The secretary opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But Suzuki Kantaro waved his hand and said, "I have decided on this matter, you can go and execute it!"
"Take your wife and children to the Eastern Army Command. I believe General Tanaka will not participate in this rebellion. It is safe for you to come to him. After the matter is over, come back."
"Hai..." Seeing this, the secretary could only whisper. Then Suzuki Kantaro continued: "You can take away the guards of the Prime Minister's Office, as they stayed without any use. It is okay to protect you from surrounding you."
"Your Excellency..." The secretary began to sob, while Suzuki Kantaro stood up and said, "Go! There is no need to bring anything, you will be back soon."
The secretary quickly passed on Suzuki's orders. But the captain of the Prime Minister's Office Guard, Ei Imada, forced the three guard soldiers to stay and accompany Suzuki's Guantaro, and then evacuated with Suzuki's wife and children.
"No! I want to stay, even if I die, you want to stay! I must stay with you..." Suzuki Kantaro's wife, Takako sobbed and rushed to Suzuki Kantaro and said loudly.
This is not the first time that Suzuki Kantaro was assassinated. Suzuki was the primary target of assassination in the last 226 incident. But the luck is that he was shot twice and did not die at that time.
Andan and others who originally planned to finish the attack, stopped the attack after Eagle sobbed and said that they were willing to "replace with their lives". Only then did Suzuki Kantaro survive.
"Hakiko, follow them! You are safe, so I will feel at ease..." Suzuki Kamitaro smiled and comforted his wife: "Don't worry, it's okay. This matter will always pass, and you will be back soon."
"No! They are even more fierce this time. Don't think I don't know! They have long been murderous to you, and they will never let you go!"
Takako shouted to refuse. I have to admit that sometimes women's intuition is correct. Takeshita Masahiko and others are already at the end of their journey. Their only wish now is to kill Suzuki Kantaro.
Therefore, no matter what Suzuki Kantaro said, he would be killed by Masahiko Takeshita and others. He might not even have a chance to speak, and he would be killed directly.
"I'm sure, believe me!" Suzuki Kantaro smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll be back soon!"
As he said that, Suzuki Kazutaro winked at the secretary. The secretary knew how to drag the Hayao away with the man, while Suzuki watched his wife leave.
Then he returned to his room and took out his navy uniform.
In 1923, in the 12th year of Taisho, Suzuki was promoted to Navy General. In 1924, he served as commander-in-chief of the Joint Fleet. In 1925, he served as Minister of the Navy Command. In January 1929, he served as the chief of the reserve and served as the chief of attendants. In February 1929, he also served as the consultant of the Japanese Privy Council.
His family always had the military uniform of a general, but he had no chance to wear it. He took out the ironed Japanese general uniform, and Suzuki Kantaro's face showed a look of nostalgia.
He could not forget the situation when he was promoted to Navy General, and the excitement he was when he first wore this general uniform. Touching this uniform, he knew that it might be the last time he had put on him.
After sighing for a while, Suzuki Kanaro gently changed into this military uniform for himself. He was familiar with the car. This was not the first time Suzuki wore this military uniform.
It is just a matter of little work to wear neatly. When he finished dressing, he could already hear gunshots and shouts from afar.
"Heavenly punishes the traitors! The Empire Chimelong!!" Hearing these howls, Suzuki Kantaro showed a helpless and bitter smile on his face. Calculated, this is the second time that he has been punished by a traitor?!
Last time on February 26th, Suzuki Kantaro still remembers Andan and others who rushed in, shooting at themselves while shouting "Heavenly Punishment!"
That time, I almost died. If it weren't for Eagle being by my side.
"Prime Minister. They are almost here..." The three people who stayed were extremely nervous. They knew better than anyone else what would happen if they stayed.
"I know, thank you for your hard work! They are here later, don't talk or do anything. I will ask them to ensure your safety." Suzuki Kantaro tidied up his collar and said, "Don't be nervous, they are targeting me, not you."
"So you are safe. As long as you don't attack them, I believe they are unwilling to attack you." Suzuki Kantaro smiled slightly and stopped the three people who were trying to speak.
"I know the Captain of the Guard left you to protect my safety. But there is no need for this at all. If they want to kill me, then come on. I don't care about my life."
Suzuki Kantaro said, pausing, "As an emperor, I have made up my mind to face life and death calmly from the moment I joined the army. And everything I do is for this country..."
"I'm seventy-four years old, and I don't have much time to live anymore. There is no difference between dying early and dying late..."
As he said that, a hint of desolation appeared on Suzuki's face: "Since the failure of the Imperial Combined Fleet, as a Navy general, I have been dead..."
"If it weren't for the empire, I wouldn't have been for now. Since they wanted my life, then take it to the side. Suzuki doesn't care about it."
The three people who stayed behind bowed deeply to the talking Kusitaro Suzuki and were speechless again.
At this time, Takako and Suzuki Kantaro's secretary who were escorted by the Prime Minister's Office Guard had escaped from two blocks. There, they finally met the Eastern Army's security forces.
"Quick! Send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion! The rebels will attack the Prime Minister's Mansion. If something happens to Lord Suzuki, you need to be fully responsible!!" After seeing the Eastern Army's garrison troops, the secretary yelled loudly with all his strength.
The captain of the Eastern Military Police Team, who heard the news, turned extremely pale and roared at the Japanese soldiers behind him: "I have someone escort my wife and secretary to the headquarters. Everyone else will follow me!"
The captain of the Prime Minister's Office's guard saw that Yingzi and others had already been escorted, and without saying a word, he joined the team returning to the Prime Minister's Office. The crowd hurried towards the Prime Minister's Office.
"Made!! Damn it! Why didn't I expect these bastards to go and cause trouble for Suzuki!!" Tanaka Shizui was furious in his command center. He just received the report.
The Prime Minister's Guard from the Prime Minister's Mansion said that the Prime Minister had determined that the rebels would go to his residence. When the news reached Tanaka Shizui, Tanaka Shizui almost went crazy.
If Suzuki Kantaro had no hair, Hirohito and the cabinet would have done him directly, and there would be no other way. The rebels actually broke through the Prime Minister's Mansion and killed the current Prime Minister.
What do you, the commander of the Eastern Army, eat?! Thinking of this, Tanaka Shizuki yelled at the adjutant: "Draw all the troops near the Prime Minister's Mansion and must stop these damn bastards!"
"Hayi!!" The adjutant knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to neglect and responded loudly. Then he turned around and rushed out.
At this time, Takeshita Masahiko and others had already broken into the vicinity of the Prime Minister's Mansion. There were not many guards nearby. Originally, the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were only warned of.
Now the guards have escorted Eagle and the secretary away, so there is no defense here at all.
"Heavenly punishes the traitors of the country! The Empire Chimelong!!" With a slogan, Takeshita Masahiko and others rushed into the Prime Minister's Mansion. There was no expected resistance and no expected shooting.
There was not even a single person in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Takeshita Masahiko Takeshita and others suddenly lost their voices. Could it be that the old bastard Suzuki Kantaro escaped?! Takeshita Masahiko Takeshita suddenly felt sad. He thought he could kill Suzuki...
"Since you're here, come in!" Suddenly, Suzuki's voice came. Takeshita Masahiko and others couldn't help but be ecstatic. Since they didn't leave, they would have a chance to kill him!
But the extremely cautious Masahiko Takeshita still let the troops with less than 100 people who finally arrived here spread out in the courtyard. He led dozens of people to the atrium that made the sound.
Several Japanese soldiers first flashed in with caution, and after finding that there was no danger, they sent a safety signal outside. Takeshita Masahiko took a gloomy face and walked into the atrium.
Behind the rockery in the yard, sitting cross-legged on the tatami was Suzuki Kantaro with gray hair and snow on his fibrous roots. He was wearing military uniform and carrying a saber around his waist. He watched the arrival of Takeshita Masahiko Takeshita and others coldly.
Beside him were three soldiers dressed in the Prime Minister's Office Guard. The three of them looked at Takeshita Masahiko and others with no words.
"Are you here just to kill me?" Suzuki Kantaro smiled and said, "I'll stand here now and take my head!"
After Suzuki Kantaro said this, Masahiko Takeshita and other Japanese soldiers hesitated. They hesitated and did not dare to step forward, and no one was willing to attack Suzuki Kantaro.
After all, Suzuki Kantaro was always a general who was famous throughout Japan who led a torpedo boat into the Weihaiwei anchorage to sink the Qing Dynasty ironclad ship "Dingyuan".
During the Russo-Japanese War, the commander of the Second Fleet Destroyer led the fleet to sink three Russian warships and two cruisers, helping the Japanese Navy win the battle of the Tsushima Strait.
Not every soldier dares to attack such a general with great military achievements. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. Read.)
