Chapter 669 Prime Minister Konoe Fumio was reprimanded (the first chapter is here today)
When the battle was over, the division commander Susumu Fujita looked extremely gloomy and sent the battle situation back to the base camp, as well as His Majesty's side, because this time the commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinohata, was seriously injured.
Life or death is uncertain.
In addition to him, the commander, General Hata Shunroku, and King Higashomiya Minuhiko were also in danger of life or death, so for a while, the entire Japanese base camp was completely shocked after receiving such bad news one after another.
They were shocked, and all the Japanese high-level officials were aroused by such a sudden and unbelievably bad battle situation.
"How could this happen? The China Army's sneak attack actually injured the commander, General Hata Shunroku, and Prince Higashomiya Minuhiko, as well as the commander of the First Army, Shinohata Yoshio, and their lives and deaths were still uncertain.
The injury is serious, is this fake news?"
"I'm afraid the cabinet will be shaken this time. Damn the China Army, we must pay with their blood! This is a shame for our imperial army. How can even the prince be attacked by surprise? It is really impossible
I believe it! When did our imperial army become so vulnerable?"
"Who knows! But this time, the entire mainland is really shocked. This is something that has never happened since the war began. It is simply our shame among shame!"
"Yes, this kind of humiliation must be avenged. We will never let those Chinese troops have an easy time!"
........
........
Then, as soon as these bad news entered the homeland of the Japanese, including the cabinet, various generals in the base camp, and the hands of Hirohito, I don’t know who leaked the news, and then many Japanese officers knew about it.
So soon, many Japanese officers were discussing this matter in a lively manner.
Even the Japanese media received such bad news and were stunned and stunned.
At the same time, inside the residence of Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro.
"Bagaya road!"
"Damn China Army, how on earth did they succeed in the sneak attack?"
"Is the defense capability on the Chinese side so poor? Why is there no way to defend against the Chinese army's night attack?"
"And he also caused heavy casualties to so many senior officers?"
"When did the War Department become so useless? Don't they know how to fight?"
After receiving such bad news, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro was in a very irritable and furious mood. He walked back and forth in the living room of his residence while roaring furiously.
But no one could reply to his furious doubts, and even he immediately sent a telegram to inquire about the division commander Susumu Fujita who was on the battlefield, and the Japanese who survived in Peiping.
officer,
But they couldn't tell the real situation clearly, but everything pointed to one piece of news, that is, Liu Feiyang's troops were not killed in the Wuhan battle, and they were also the makers of these bad news.
With.
As a result, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro was immediately shocked and angry.
"Bagaya Road! Bagaya Road! Damn Liu Feiyang's command, why hasn't he been killed in battle yet?"
"Haven't they all been killed on the Chinese side all along? Why did they suddenly appear to attack our imperial army again? And they still suffered so many casualties among the imperial officers?"
"This China Army officer must die. I will make sure his body is cut into pieces!"
When Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, who had been unable to calm down his inner rage for a long time, became even more furious, he immediately smashed a vase in the living room to the ground and roared at the top of his lungs.
"Hai!"
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Your Majesty has called and asked you to come to the palace immediately to see you!"
But at this time, a Japanese officer in the residence, Yuma Suzuki, came to Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro with a frightened expression and a cold sweat on his face to give a report.
"Your Majesty wants to see me?"
"Baga! It's going to be terrible this time, I'm going to get scolded for sure!"
After hearing this, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro showed no happy expression at all, and his mood suddenly changed from furious to heavy and depressed.
"Get the car ready for me right away, and I'll go see His Majesty right away!"
Then he was still very angry and continued to give instructions to the Japanese officer Yuma Suzuki who had reported bad news to him.
"Hai!"
........
Japanese officer Suzuki Yuma immediately followed the order without thinking.
Then he turned and left as quickly as possible.
Soon the cars and guards were ready,
Then Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro immediately took a car and entered the Imperial Palace to meet Emperor Hirohito.
Not long after, in a beautifully decorated meeting room in the palace,
Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro saw Emperor Hirohito, and he also knelt down and saluted respectfully.
"Do you already know the information about the casualties of Commander Shunroku Hata, Prince Higashomiya Nohihiko, Commander of the First Army Yoshio Shinohata, and a large number of officers of the Imperial Army?"
"Many military officers are now talking about it. Even the local media has already known about this matter. I am afraid that in less than two days, all the local people across the country will know this amazing news!"
"Tell me, how should we deal with this matter now?"
"And how did it happen? Why was it that Liu Feiyang, who was resurrected from the dead, could be commanded to do such an earth-shattering thing again?"
"Aren't he and his Chinese troops all killed in action? How come they really look like the division commander Susumu Fujita, and Isoroku Yamamoto, as well as the commanders General Hata Shunroku and Prince Higashomiya Minuhiko whose lives are uncertain now?
, as they predicted, they haven’t died yet?”
"What is the real situation? Can you explain it clearly to me?"
After watching Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro salute him very respectfully, Emperor Hirohito was not in a good mood at all and scolded Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro.
"Hai! Your Majesty! Please forgive me!"
"I just learned about this matter. I still need time to investigate clearly. All my sources of information now are from the division commander Susumu Fujita who is still on the battlefield, and those who survived in Beiping City.
The source of the information was obtained from the imperial officer!"
"Perhaps division commander Susumu Fujita knows more than us, as well as the surviving imperial officers on the Peiping side, because they all personally fought fierce battles with the China Army led by Liu Feiyang!
"
In response to Emperor Hirohito's scolding and questioning, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro also quickly thought about how to avoid being scolded by Hirohito, and responded.
"Baga! Then tell me, how long will it take for you to find out about this matter?"
However, Emperor Hirohito, who was still in a rage, continued to ask questions with his face still gloomy to the extreme.
"Hai! I think the fastest way is to immediately summon the division commander Susumu Fujita and the surviving imperial officers in Beiping City and conduct interviews. This is the fastest way to know the truth.
But I have also sorted out all the telegrams they reported back!"
"Your Majesty, you can also read the contents of their report telegram first!"
In response to Hirohito's angry question, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro quickly nodded in agreement.
"Sigh! Do you want to teach me how to deal with things?"
But after hearing this, Emperor Hirohito's face became even more gloomy and scary, and he asked.
At the same time, his eyes also changed very sharply, staring at Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro.
"Hai!"
"No, Your Majesty, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to suggest the fastest way to know the truth, because that's what I planned to do too!"
"Otherwise we will be misled by other unrelated people about the truth that we know!"
When he saw the angry Emperor Hirohito scolding him, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro immediately prostrated and responded in a low voice.
"snort!"
.......
.......
In response, Emperor Hirohito just snorted coldly and said nothing more.
"...."
Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, who was still kneeling and prostrate, was speechless for a moment.
