Chapter 87 The Hate of Konoe Fumima
When Yanagawa Heisuke was busy getting a promotion and a raise on the same day, he invited his friends, Japanese officers, to celebrate.
Prime Minister Konoe Fumima, who has a noble status, is troubled by the army and continues to expand the battlefield of Songhu.
And constantly leading him by the nose, preventing him from knowing more about the battlefield situation,
He often felt left out, so he had no favorable impressions of people like Army Minister Sugiyama Moto and Vice-Admiral Umezu Mijiro.
Even in his heart, he has made up his mind that once he has a chance to retaliate, he will definitely expel these two guys!
Although he himself is not a good person, he has never been very supportive, clamoring for continuous war, and an expanded war with Army Minister Gen Sugiyama who eliminated the national army within three months.
Prime Minister Konoe Fumima, who has a somewhat weak personality, still feels that a steady attack will be more beneficial to the Japanese army.
It's a pity that as the Battle of Songhu becomes more and more heated and expanded,
Under the pressure of the powerful Minister of War, Hirota Koki and others, he had to agree to continue to send more reinforcements to Songhu to carry out support operations.
As for these newly formed reinforcements to support the operation, the new commander is Yanagawa Heisuke.
But this person is not the best candidate he proposed.
Although this Yanagawa Heisuke does not have the same greed for military success and tough external combat attitude as Juichi Terauchi,
But he didn't want to appoint this person because he felt that Yanagawa Heisuke had more murderous intent.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, he was unwilling to appoint the other party as the commander of the newly formed Japanese 10th Army.
"What a headache! Not many of these guys are good!"
"They are all tougher war factions than me, and they are all guys who are difficult to control!"
"It's really annoying! As a prime minister, I have to be ignored and led by them. It's really worse than those fashion models!"
"These embarrassing guys, I will definitely have them removed from the cabinet one day!"
"Especially this guy Sugiyama Gen!"
"But this Yanagawa Heisuke is not a good person! He just received the news that he was promoted and made a fortune, and he is already happily inviting officers he is familiar with to celebrate?"
"How stupid and arrogant he is!"
"I wonder if Your Majesty knows about Yanagawa Heisuke, will he be punished for such a celebration?"
"It's a pity that I don't have an excuse to punish him for the time being, otherwise I must give him a warning!"
"Forget it! Now it's better to carefully monitor the situation of the transport fleet that will be dispatched to fight next! This is an expedition of more than 100,000 troops!"
"We have to think carefully about where it is safe to log in for combat, and all pre-departure matters, logistics support, and the situation of the transport fleet must be handled well!"
"Otherwise something big goes wrong, and I, as Prime Minister, may not have a very easy life!"
…
Prime Minister Konoe Fumima was in his office at the Prime Minister's Residence, looking through the information about the appointment of Yanagawa Taira to help him get promoted and make a fortune, and after having a celebration party with him,
He was also in a bad mood and muttered to himself.
And I am also worried about the pre-war and post-war military deployment of the Japanese 10th Army.
Especially when I think of the Army Minister Gen Sugiyama and others whom I hate most now,
He can't help but gnash his teeth and curse the other person.
And he became more and more determined to find a day to take revenge and go back.
Kicked Army Minister Gen Sugiyama and others out of the cabinet.
And when Konoe Fumima hated War Minister Gen Sugiyama and others,
On the other side of the residence of War Minister Moto Sugiyama,
He also called Vice-minister Umezu Mijiro, Hirota Koki and others to his residence for an emergency meeting.
"You said that this time we will nominate Yanagawa Heisuke as the commander of the newly formed 10th. Will Konoe Fumima agree?"
Vice-minister Umezu Mijiro took a sip of wine, ate some food, and then asked the rest of the people around him.
At this moment, although the few of them were said to be having a combat meeting, to be precise, it was more like having a dinner party, and it was more intimate to chat.
"What does it matter whether he agrees or not? I have the final say on the Army's side!"
"And a weak character like his will be forcefully led by us this time!"
"What's more, he doesn't understand what war is! He doesn't understand the art of war!"
"So we are even more incapable of dictating our army troops!"
"And I won't let him have the chance to do this!"
"So Konoe Fumima's side is nothing to worry about! I don't take him to heart at all! Now I look down on Yanagawa Heisuke a little bit!"
"This guy actually invited the officers to a celebration party right after we proposed him to become the new commander of the 10th Army?"
"Is he happy? It's too early?"
"I hope he won't mess things up this time when he leads troops to reinforce Songhu, otherwise I will definitely not let him go!"
Army Minister Sugiyama Motoya took a sip of wine, ate some snacks, and responded with a happy smile!
