Chapter 126: Controlling the Cabinet

"Notify the guards that Momoho Oda was suspected of participating in the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor and took him down for review."

Masao Nakamura has now become Mu Yang's loyal lackey. Hearing Mu Yang say this, he immediately stood up, called soldiers at the door, and pulled down Oda Momoho, who was still struggling.

"Everyone, a small episode, I hope it will not disturb our meeting. Now the meeting continues. I suggest that Masao Nakamura serves as the Minister of the Army. Now you can vote. If you have any objections, please raise your hand." Mu Yang played a low-level trick again. Who is willing to make a first bird now? No one in the venue raised his hand, and it was quiet.

Mu Yang nodded, "It seems that everyone has a very voted on the proposal of Masao Nakamura as the Minister of the Army. Okay, this issue is over, and now Masao Nakamura has officially become the Minister of the Army." Mu Yang turned to Masao Nakamura and said, "Nakamura, please sit here. Your location is here now." Mu Yang pointed to a chair beside him and said.

Masao Nakamura stood up and tidied up his military uniform, then leaned forward and walked to the conference table, and sat down at the seat next to Muyang.

"Kun Nakamura, you have any ideas and suggestions on being the Minister of the Imperial Army, you can raise them here." Mu Yang said.

Masao Nakamura cleared his voice and said, "In view of the fact that the Chief of Staff Director Umezu Mijiro has been executed and the Imperial Staff Headquarters is in a state of paralysis, I propose to immediately elect the Chief of Staff Chiefs and reorganize the Chief of Staff."

As soon as Masao Nakamura came up, he raised such a question, and the cabinet members in the venue immediately cheered up and sounded seriously.

"As the Minister of the Army, I have the right and responsibility to elect the Chief of Staff, but the situation in the Imperial Army is not optimistic now, and the suspicion of many people has not been found out yet. Therefore, the vast majority of people cannot hold this position, at least it is not suitable now, so here. I suggest that the Prime Minister serve as the Chief of Staff of the Army first. I don't know what you think."

When many people heard this, they cursed that Koiki Showa Nakamura Masao was so shameless. Koiki Aki just pushed Nakamura Masao to the front stage and became the Minister of the Army. Nakamura Masao immediately gave Koiki Aki the position of Chief of Staff. What do you two ask us cabinet members to come here to do? Are you watching the show? Your playbooks have been rehearsed several times, and they are so skillful. They don’t speak with stutter.

But now Masao Nakamura is the Minister of the Army and has the right to propose the Chief of Staff, and his opinions should occupy an important position. After all, in terms of affiliation, the Chief of Staff should be under the management of the Secretary of the Army.

"I agree with Prime Minister Lu's proposal. His Excellency the Prime Minister was originally from the Army and served in the General Staff Headquarters. He is very familiar with the operation of the General Staff Headquarters and is the best candidate now. I support His Excellency the Prime Minister as the Chief of General Staff of the Army."

As a member of the cabinet of Muyang faction, Justice Minister Hiromasa Matsusaka immediately agreed to the proposal.

Minister of the Ministry of Culture, Ninomiya Oshige also said: "I also support the Prime Minister as a concurrent position."

"I also agree with this proposal. The Prime Minister is the best choice now." Minister Taro Ishidoso, Ishino, also agreed.

The current Japanese cabinet, including Sugiyama Moto and the Military Minister Injiro Fujiwara, three people had been killed by Mu Yang before. Today, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Oda Shimoo Oda, was arrested at the venue, and four of the fourteen-person cabinets have been removed.

Now the Army Minister has become Masao Nakamura again, and he is definitely a loyal member of Mu Yang. The Minister of Justice Matsusaka Hiromasa and Minister of the Cultural Affairs Department Nimiya Yukishige were originally on the same line as Koiki Aki. Although the Minister of the Tsang Ishidoso Taro is not a subordinate of Koiki Aki, the two have a close relationship. Ishidoso Taro usually supports Koiki Aki's opinions very much. Now Koiki Aki is in power, so he is even more unlikely to stand up and oppose it.

Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Mitsuki was cunning and expressed his dissent to oppose this proposal.

Navy Minister Minumasa Minai has been silent since the meeting and has been watching all this coldly. He knew in his heart that Koi Iso Kyoto has become powerful and has lost his mind when doing things, but as the spokesperson and head of the Navy, he should think about it more for the Navy.

Today, the Japanese Navy has not had a good life.

After the Battle of the Philippines, the Japanese Navy lost nearly half of its maritime power. Now the navy can only stay at its doorstep to defend its own offshore, and also beware of sneak attacks from the US fleet at any time. Now the glory of the navy is no longer the same as before. What Minashimasaki most wants now is to preserve the strength of the navy and wait for an opportunity to counterattack the US fleet. He still hopes that there is a stable environment in the country and to support the navy. In the current situation of the empire, Minashimasaki really can't think of a candidate who is more suitable for the Chief of Staff. Even if there is one, I guess Koiki Akira Koi will not agree. Since it is the army's business, he will not get involved. It's better to take good care of his navy first.

Including the previous issue of Koiki Aki who promised him to increase the naval budget, Minuchi Mitsumasa finally nodded slightly, saying that he agreed to the proposal to have Koiki Aki as the Chief of General Staff.

The five ministers of the cabinet have agreed to this proposal, and Mu Yang's faction has also stood up to support it. Others have no right to refute it. The proposal of Mu Yang as the Chief of Staff will be passed in this way. From today on, Mu Yang can officially take office.

After the meeting, Mu Yang left behind Masao Nakamura and Hiromasa Matsusaka, Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Culture, Jijiji Ninomiya, and asked the secretary to pour tea for the three of them. Mu Yang said, "The situation in the empire is now full of crisis. For the outside world, although our war in China seems to have achieved great results now, you also know that the empire has done its best in China, and it is already difficult to take a step further."

"In Southeast Asia, the United States is pressing forward step by step, and the situation of the war is very unfavorable to us. The naval battle made the empire lose its control over the sea, and the army was also implicated. Under the enemy's artillery attack, many very important bases were lost."

"In China, the treasury is becoming increasingly empty, front-line troops are fighting frequently, and domestic logistics support is already in short supply. More importantly, even in such a crisis, Hideki Tojo and others intend to rebel and kill His Majesty the Emperor, making the situation in the empire worse."

"I'll keep you, do you know what's going on?" Mu Yang stopped here, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, gasping for breath.

The three of them didn't know what Mu Yang was thinking. Nakamura Masao said: "Prime Minister, please give me instructions if you have any questions."
