"Currently, the Locusts and the empire's senior officials still have not established contact with us, and the newspaper and radio station have been recaptured by the plutocrat lackeys.

It seems that His Majesty was deceived by traitorous ministers and was unable to express his opinions. If we want to realize the Showa Restoration, we must find another way."

Beside the fireplace, Ando Teruzo, as the temporary leader, introduced the situation to others, including Nakabashi Motoaki who had escaped from the palace.

The Guards Division's reaction was too fast, and this man could only abandon his soldiers, causing the mutiny team's operation against the Locusts to fall short.

Hearing Ando's words, he said viciously: "Since the Locust cannot perform its duties, why don't we replace it with another Locust?

For example, Prince Yongren, who has served in the Eighth Army Division of the Army for a long time, is very sympathetic to our plight and is also the best candidate for Xintian Locust.

When His Highness ascends to the throne and shouts, the people who make the call will surely gather, and our Imperial Dao Sect will be able to control more armed forces and completely wipe out the national traitors."

"Yo Xi, Mr. Zhongqiao is right."

Zuo Zhong, who had been promoted to the position of military advisor of the mutiny team, interrupted at the right time, then turned to look at the Japanese officers with different expressions.

"There is an old Chinese saying that the king regards his ministers as dirt, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. Now it seems that you and I are not important in the eyes of the locusts.

Otherwise, even if you cannot agree publicly, as a locust, there will be no problem for His Majesty to communicate with us. Am I right?"

silence,

Deathly silence.

If Ando Teruzo's words were meant to explain to Tian Locust, then Zuo Zhong's words completely tore off the fig leaf covering Tian Locust's body.

The other party did not want to communicate with them. This is not the era of the shogunate. No one dares to restrict the personal freedom of Tian Locust in an upright manner.

So the situation is very clear. The Locust doesn't care about honoring the emperor and asking for rape. The mutiny team is just a hot face meeting a cold butt.

The problem is that the matter of supporting a new king is too sensitive. Even if they have plans before, no one dares to speak first.

Motoaki Nakahashi, who hated the locusts in his heart, saw that everyone was silent, so he stood up again because he was different from others.

As an officer of the Guards Division, loyalty is the most basic requirement. If Locust does not change, he will die regardless of the outcome of the mutiny.

"You gentlemen, you must never be as kind as a woman."

As Nakahashi Momoaki spoke, he kept waving his right hand to emphasize his tone: "You have heard what Okamoto-kun means, don't take any chances.

I suggest informing His Highness Yongren and asking him to come to Tokyo immediately to take charge of the overall situation. We respect the royal family, not a certain person.

His Highness has served as the captain of the Eighth Division for several years and is deeply trusted by the grassroots. It will not be a problem to mobilize thousands of people to participate in the mutiny."

this...

Xiang Tian Qingzhen and others did not dare to make a decision, so they all turned their attention to Ando Teruzo. The other party was now the leader and they had to listen to his opinion.

However, during the discussion at the hotel, the other party had said that he wanted to protect the locusts, so he probably wouldn't agree to Momoaki Nakahashi's proposal.

If this is the case, it may not be easy to convince Itan, but the next second, they were stunned by the words of the loyal minister Ando Teruzo.

"Xinxi, what Mr. Zhongqiao said is not unreasonable. As long as the royal family can be unified forever, it doesn't matter who is the Locust."

Teru Ando sold the Locust without any hesitation, as if he had not said that he must not harm the Locust a few days ago.

Xiangtian Qingzhen reacted, pointed at this shameless guy and trembled with anger, Baga, that's not what you said at the time.

If you had said this earlier, the soldiers from the 6th and 7th squadrons might have been able to break into the palace directly. Why did they do this?

The other Japanese who participated in the mutiny were also filled with anger, and their positions changed at a moment's notice. Can everyone still live in harmony with each other?

"Cough, cough..."

Seeing this, Zuo Zhong coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, lest the lame Teruzo Ando, ​​who had finally deceived him, would be beaten to death by them.

Although this guy's approach is indeed a bit unreasonable, the next plan requires the cooperation of the other party, so he can't just ignore it.

After calming down the angry Japs, he explained with a smile: "Haha, don't get angry, after all, the situation is one moment and another.

No one thought that His Majesty Tian Locust would support the traitors of the ruling faction, bow to the plutocrats, and disregard the lives and deaths of countless citizens.

In this case, our support of the new king is in line with the interests of the empire and in line with the people's wishes, and we are definitely not traitors to the empire."

"It's extremely."

"There is some truth to that."

"Sweet Desnay."

The officers nodded deceptively, as Okamoto-kun said, it was not that they were unpatriotic, but that the Locust betrayed the country first.

For the sake of the future of the Japanese Empire and the Yamato nation, they were willing to bear the eternal infamy to assist Prince Yongren in ascending to the throne.

Ando Teruzo was the proudest. He glanced at his colleagues and said his plan: "If you have no objections, please contact His Highness immediately.

The Eighth Division is based in Hirosaki, and it takes six to seven hours to get to Tokyo by train. There is no room for hesitation in this matter to avoid long nights and dreams."

"Hai, I agree."

"Agree..."

Everyone present raised their hands to vote, and Zuo Chong was no exception. For the first time, the mutiny team was truly united.

The officers are for glory and wealth, Ozaki is for faith, Zuo Shige is just for destruction, and all three parties want to kill the Locust.

There is only one question left, how to make Yong Ren become a locust. The Royal Guards Division and the Tongpai Army are not vegetarians.

If you want to compare the number of people, then there is no need to compare.

Compared with equipment, there is also a huge difference.

It would be useless even if all the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Division were Yongren's men. Water from afar could not quench the thirst of the nearer, and Hirosaki was simply too far away from Tokyo.

While everyone was thinking, a soldier ran in and reported a new situation - the damn Navy Red Deer stabbed him in the back.

The First Wing of the Combined Fleet has been ordered to sail into Tokyo Bay to be on alert, and the ferocious muzzles of the guns are facing the Sanno Hotel where they are located.

The opponent may hit the heads of the people present with the shells of the Nagato-class 410mm main gun at any time, which is simply too deceiving.

"idiot!"

After hearing this, Nakahashi Motoaki jumped up and cursed: "The army's patriots killed the traitors of the country, but the navy's Malu chose to help the thieves.

First they sabotaged our operations near the Imperial Palace, and now they mobilized warships to intimidate us. What on earth do their navy want to do?

If we fail to live up to the expectations of the people in this way, if we can achieve great justice in the future, the first thing we should do is to cancel the designation of the Combined Fleet."

This man was so angry that if the people from the navy hadn't interfered, a mutiny might have occurred. New hatreds were compounded by old ones, and he wished he could disband the navy.

"Calm down, Nakabashi."

The leader, Teruzo Ando, ​​pressed his hand with style and asked the other party to sit down before talking. Then he frowned and asked his think tank.

"Okamoto-kun, the strength of the Navy's Red Deer is extraordinary. Everything turned into powder under the gunfire. What should we do now?

Facing so many enemies, even if Prince Yongren comes to Tokyo, it will not help. Please think of a foolproof strategy, please."

When the officers heard this, they looked at the reporter with a bit of hope. The reporter was full of wisdom and would definitely be able to find a way for the prince to successfully ascend the throne.

"Hahaha, please don't worry."

Zuo Zhong, who only lacked a feather fan towel, touched his non-existent beard and thought for a while before answering Ando Teruzo's question.

"The navy is just bluffing. The fact that we can monitor the radio shows that they are deliberately leaking relevant information.

There are only two purposes, one is to warn us not to act rashly, and the other is to drag us here so that the ruling faction can eliminate us.

The navy wouldn't dare to fire cannons. Don't forget, this is Tokyo. The population density is so high. If the cannonballs miss, the casualties will be serious."

yes,

That's it.

Everyone suddenly realized that if there was really a military operation, how could they let others know about it so easily? Navy Red Deer was indeed cunning.

Then they heard Zuo Chong say with a smile: "Actually, I proposed to mobilize the people to rise up, just to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

I don't believe the navy dared to fire on unarmed civilians. There were decrepit old men and toddlers in the crowd.

Whoever orders the cannon fire will be a sinner of the empire and will be infamous for thousands of years. By supporting His Highness Yongren, you can also take advantage of these people.

We want to tell the people that the current Locusts are colluding with the domestic people and are preparing to arrest the people who receive the property of the chaebol.

For the sake of the empire and justice, a new Locust must be chosen who has compassion and loves his people like a son to lead the empire forward."

high!

It’s really high!

Several Japanese soldiers smiled happily. Mr. Okamoto was worthy of being the military advisor of the mutiny operation. He solved two major problems without any effort.

This trick of the mob is really good. It diverts the enemy's attention, makes the enemy throw a trap, and strengthens his own momentum. It is a standard killing three birds with one stone.

In short, with a clear plan, everyone took action, some contacted Yong Ren, some arranged defense, and some organized the people.

Ando Teruzo was going to take a look at the phone room. There was an internal line directly to the Eighth Division, and he might be able to talk to Yong Ren.

"Ando-kun, please wait a moment."

Zuo Shige quickly stopped him, then pulled him to a corner and whispered a few words. Ando Teruzo's expression immediately changed again and again.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said seriously to Zuo Zhong: "Thank you Okamoto-kun for the reminder, I will let His Highness handle this matter carefully.

Thanks to your help this time, otherwise the operation would not have gone so smoothly. Don't worry, we will definitely defeat all enemies.

By then, you will become the president of the Tokyo Daily News, and I will also become the new top brass in the military. Let us fight together."

Ando Teruzo excitedly patted Zuo Zhong on the shoulder, saying nonsense that even a fool would not believe, and a sickly blush flashed on both sides of his face.

Zuo Zhong glanced at him and smiled happily, "Okay, I'm not afraid of you being salty, but I'm afraid that you don't have ambition. Only with ambition can you have motivation."

By the time Yong Ren is in place, this game will be almost over. The next time I come to Tokyo, I'm afraid it will be the day when the war is won.

Looking out the window at the beacon fires all over Tokyo, Zuo Zhong clasped his hands behind his back and looked far to the west, silently admiring this beautiful scenery.
