Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 284: Night talk

For Japanese cabinet ministers, the events of September 12 can be called a disaster. What made them even more unforgivable was that the group of **** below seemed to want to keep the matter hidden, because they did not receive any reports about the incident until the evening of September 13.

Before learning of this incident, Ken Wei was reading the newspaper in the living room of his residence. Since the February 26th incident, this prime minister’s residence has strengthened its guards, but I don’t know why it always feels a little ghostly at night. Sensen, the servants hired by the official residence vowed to have seen figures wandering in army coats in the corridors. Some people say that this may be the young and strong officers who were shot back in those days, and turned into grievances because of their unpaid aspirations. Konwei Wenmiao dismissed these claims. He had eight million gods to protect him, so he was afraid of a few executed sinners.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister." The servant opened the sliding door of the living room and served the Prime Minister the evening meal.

"Oh, it looks good." The Japanese Prime Minister put down the newspaper and picked up the bowl of steaming steamed eggs.

"Big Hit Mas" picked up the silver spoon on the tray, the guard carefully scooped up a spoonful of egg custard and put it in his mouth.

At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and it seemed that the guards and secretaries yelled loudly. They sounded like they were preventing someone from breaking in.

"I really have an emergency to report to the Prime Minister." An unimpressed voice in his head.

"Please don't go inside anymore. Please wait a minute. The Prime Minister is resting. I will talk about something tomorrow." The guard could hear the second secretary Tianchuan.

"How did you guy pass the guard? Without the document, you can't rush in like this." The voice should be the officer in charge of the night guard at the mansion.

"What's going on." Ken Wei Wenmiao stood up and walked to the door, opened the sliding door and asked. The relationship between him and the navy and army is currently very harmonious. At this time, there should be no people with lofty ideals coming to Tianzhu.

"It's Director Takahashi of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Tian Chuan let go of the opponent's arm, and he respectfully bowed to the direction of Kanae Fumina's bedroom.

"I'm Toru Takahashi, director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." The visitor also hurriedly bowed his head respectfully and applied for his name.

"Oh, have I seen you looking for me in such a hurry? Takahashi-kun." The guard opened the sliding door and walked to the corridor.

"One hour ago, the Japanese embassies in Taiwan and Japan received the protest letter submitted by the two countries to the empire at the same time." Takahashi reported to the Prime Minister nervously.

"Nani? Are you kidding me." The guard's eyes widened suddenly.

"Don't stand outside. Go inside." Seeing that the other person's expression didn't seem to be amusing himself, the guard calmed down a little and ordered Takahashi.

"Memo-kun, go and check around. Tonight, you have to be extra vigilant, Tagawa, you come in with me." The guard moved away, and the guard turned and walked back to the room.

"Your Excellency, this is the telegram just received." After entering the room and sitting down. Takahashi took a telegram out of his pocket and placed it on the coffee table in front of the guards.

"Does the Minister of Foreign Affairs know about this?" Ken Wei Wenmiao pretended to calmly open the folded document, but his trembling fingers revealed his mood at the moment.

"Your Excellency Songgang asked me to personally inform His Excellency the Prime Minister that the Minister of Foreign Affairs is on his way here at the moment."

"Why don't you make a call first." Konwei Fumio complained.

"It happened suddenly, and for the sake of safety, I'm really very sorry." Takahashi bowed to the ground in fear.

"Well, your caution is correct." The guard lowered his head and read the message.

"Unbelievable!" The guard read the telegram halfway, and slapped the table in front of him with a slap. The sleeve of the bathrobe turned over the small bowl on the table and only took a bite. The egg custard suddenly turned over on the tabletop.

"Ah." Secretary Tian Chuan exclaimed, whether he has any tools at hand. He stood up and prepared to go to the servant for help.

"Don't worry about this!" The guard stood up with the telegram and walked to his desk while reading.

"Have you read the content, Takahashi." Fumio Konwei turned on the lamp beside the table and read the rest of the message under the bright light.

"Yes, Prime Minister." Takahashi nodded and said yes.

"This piece must be kept secret in advance."

"Yes, Prime Minister, but foreign news media will definitely report it."

"At present, I can only take one step to see. These **** **** have caused such a big trouble to the empire. No, I want to call an emergency cabinet meeting immediately." Konwei Fumio turned his face and shouted to the secretary. command. "Tian Chuan. Call the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of the Navy, as well as the Secretary of the Interior, and ask them to come to the Prime Minister's residence as soon as possible. There is an emergency."

"Do you want to elaborate?" Tian Chuan already knew the basic situation from Takahashi's mouth.

"No. Just say there is an emergency." After finishing speaking, the guard opened the sliding door behind and went to the inner room to change the coat. From the gap of the sliding door, you can see that there are already two servants inside. waiting.

The prime minister's residence is next door to the prime minister's residence, so there is no need to prepare a car. After a group of secretaries and guards rushed in front of him, Ken Wei Wenmiao came to his office.

"Don't disturb too many people. Get the meeting room ready." Ken Wei sat on the couch, looking at the landscape paintings on the wall in a daze, but his mind was rapidly expanding.

Germans don’t make up for this kind of thing to joke, and French people don’t bite without evidence. Obviously, what the telegram says is conclusive. But why did such a big thing happen, the Prime Minister of his own empire would have been ignorant. If it weren't for the protests of Germany and France, he might have been kept in the dark even now. It is really an unspeakable shame. Fortunately, the two countries have not yet known this internal situation at this time, otherwise the Great Japanese Empire may become an international laughingstock, and even its own army cannot be controlled. What else will this government cabinet come from? use. What is the truth of the conflict? This is the question that Kanae Fumio is most anxious to know now, but even if he asks a question, no one around him can give the answer.

The residences of cabinet members are all allocated by the state. For the convenience of convening, most of them live in the surrounding area of ​​the parliament building. So after being notified, several cabinet ministers quickly rushed to the prime minister's residence.

"What's going on, Prime Minister." The first to rush in was Hideki Tojo, Secretary of the Army. The short lieutenant general walked into the Prime Minister's office with a stride.

"There are still people who haven't arrived, Tojo-sir, please wait a moment." Fumime Konoe made a gesture of asking to sit down. Then he closed his eyes and started to rest. Judging from the look of the minister of the army, it was obvious that he didn't know the basket he was stabbing. Razor Tojo's performance was always poor, and any emotions would be placed on his face. Can't hide anything at all. It seems that the Army has also concealed its superiors, which makes the problem even more serious.

After a while, Minister of Foreign Affairs Matsuoka Yoro, Minister of the Navy Yoshida Yoshida, and Minister of the Interior Eiji Yasui arrived one after another. Several people left the office under the leadership of Fumio Kanae and came to a small group dedicated to discussing confidential matters. conference hall.

"Prime Minister, what kind of emergency happened after calling this meeting." After sitting down, the first question was still the impatient Tojo.

"Minister of Foreign Affairs, you can tell you about the current situation we have." Fumio Kanae did not answer Tojo's question, but turned to Songgang to speak. The face of the lieutenant general went red immediately.

"Just at 1 p.m. local time in the country, the Deputy Foreign Minister Ribbentrop and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the country Pontouet together submitted a letter of protest to the imperial embassy in the country."

"Nani!"

"Uso!" There were several exclamations in the meeting room.

"The news was sent by the Ambassador Oshima in Paris himself. The full text of the protest document was also attached to the telegram. It has been handed over to the Prime Minister for review." Matsuoka's face was full of fatigue, this In order to win the European Union for a while, he exhausted his mind and worked hard for half a month, seeing some results, but in the end he actually got this kind of result, which he could not accept anyway. .

"Let's take a look first. The copy is still being printed." At this time, Ken Wei was in a state of confusion. What is going on, can he be the prime minister for a few days? Every time I just pressed a gourd here, a scoop floated up there. When will these bad days end?

"What a shame. Kunoya Lu, must be investigated carefully!" Tojo exploded after reading the telegram.

He was angry that he didn't even know this thing in the telegram. It was obvious that there was a serious crime of deceiving his superiors. Although it should be an old trick in the army, if there is no major incident, the superiors will usually open their eyes and close their eyes, provided that they have the ability to clean their hands and tails. But this time I really overplayed it.

"On this matter, the navy has no position to express opinions, but if the navy is required to contribute, the navy will fully cooperate." Yoshida said respectfully to the guards, all sincerely It makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"This is a serious diplomatic incident involving two powerful Europa countries. If it is not handled properly, it will definitely affect the future strategy of the empire." The Minister of the Interior expressed his stance. He is responsible for domestic affairs. , This matter really has nothing to do with him.

"First of all, we must know what happened in that place! Your army must immediately explain to the cabinet why we don't know that this happened until now. Are you still the emperor's loyal fighters?" Matsuoka I was so angry that the pressure accumulated in the past suddenly broke out at this time. It is rare to harden my spine and point to the secretary of the army's nose to question him.

"This is the internal affairs of the army, and the army will give the cabinet and the emperor an explanation!"

"Your Excellency, such an understatement is simply evading responsibility!"

"I said, the army will solve the army's problems by itself."

"You too indulged your subordinates. This kind of thing is impossible in our navy. You must investigate carefully, find the responsible person and severely punish them."

"We don't need the navy to worry about this issue, and the truth of the matter is still unclear." No matter what, Tojo has the responsibility to defend the army's honor, especially in front of the navy octopus.

"The protests of the people of the Independent Kingdom and the Bu Kingdom have been thrown on your nose. Now you don't know anything about whether the War Department has the ability to manage the troops below."

"Are you accusing the Army, idiot."

"How about! You army red deer!" Matsuoka patted the ribs on his chest, ready to fight it out with the razor.

"Enough, don’t lose your dignity! You are cabinet ministers over ten thousand people, how can you be noisy like the gangsters." Konwei Fumio patted the table hard and stood up and drank loudly. Stop these cabinet ministers.

"The first thing to do now is to start an investigation immediately. I want to know all the ins and outs of this incident, all the details, which troop and who led it. When, where and why across the border, and how If there is a conflict with the French Indochinese garrison, you must honestly and clearly check it out for me. Especially the most important point, you must understand how the independence people got involved in this incident." said the guard.

"The Army will immediately launch an investigation, and I will send someone to form an investigation team."

"No. You'd better go there in person and show a gesture to the independent country. In addition, this time the following is too outrageous and need to be strictly rectified."

"However, the army is still unclear which unit it is."

"Your Excellency Yoshida, don't ridicule, now we must be united."

"Ha, sorry, Prime Minister." Yoshida nodded and admitted.

"Which unit is specific, can we just ask the people of the Republic of China?"

"Master Yasui, don't you think the empire is not big enough." Matsuoka retorted, dumbfounded.

"According to the geographical location. It should be the Fifth Division of the Army. I immediately called Commander Ando. He probably didn't know about this, otherwise he would never hide it."

"Lieutenant General Ando Riki is indeed not a person who deceives the superiors." Fumime Kanae agreed with Tojo's words.

"What needs to be done by the Navy."

"It is not necessary for the time being, but for safety reasons, the Navy should strengthen the surveillance of the French Indochina generation. Although there will be no greater conflicts as usual, it must always be prepared for changes." Wen Ming took the telegram from Matsuoka.

"By the way, before the investigation results come out. This matter must be kept secret from the outside world, and no one can leak it out. The Ministry of Internal Affairs must closely monitor the various media. Before the final result is determined, the public must not let the public know that we and the independent There is a conflict."

"I see. The Metropolitan Police Department will also pay close attention to the rumors in the society. You can rest assured." The Minister of the Interior Eiji Yasui was a member of the Noble House before, and he knew what the priorities were.

"Very well, it is still early. I am going to meet with His Majesty the Emperor tomorrow morning. This matter must be understood by His Majesty."

"Can't you wait until the situation has eased a little before playing again." Tojo asked hesitantly.

"What kind of **** talk is this. This kind of thing must be known to your majesty for the first time, and you must keep your duty as a minister."

"Ha, I was impolite, sorry." Tojo curled his lips, frowned and started thinking. Although on the surface he was still holding on, he knew in his heart that he had lost his face this time. He vowed to let the **** who caused this embarrassing situation know how powerful Tojo's razor was.

"Now, let's talk about how to respond to Germans."

"Just tell the independence people that we don't know about this. This is an operation planned by some army officers and soldiers alone."

"This is tantamount to telling the independent nation that we cannot control our army."

"Isn't that true?"

"Well, don't make unnecessary arguments."

"We should apologize first, and then say that a detailed investigation is underway."

"Where are the folks from the country?"

"Of course the same should be done~IndoMTL.com~The two countries have formed an alliance now."

"It is said that Britain will join in soon."

"The Union of the Independent, the British and the Devil has never appeared in history." Someone began to crook the building.

"Don't forget the country of Iraq."

"In this way, the independent country is a new generation of European hegemons."

"So we must take this incident more seriously. The current attitude of the independent country towards our country is still friendly and harmonious, and I hope it will not change due to this."

The lights in the small meeting room of the Prime Minister's residence in Tokyo that night did not go out until dawn the next day.
