Chapter 360 Showa Restoration (29)

The atmosphere of the base camp meeting at night was very strange, and the senior army central leaders were feeling weak, because today Hirohito not only inspected the Guard Division, but also sent someone to deliver a speech about "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" and "seven generations to serve the country", and asked the de facto Crown Prince Akihito to join the army and take Takeda Assassination as his division.

These things are the most common and least worth mentioning news in normal times, but today, the meaning revealed is very different. It clearly contains the atmosphere of reliance and warning, which is a very obvious signal light for Hori Teiki and the Navy.

But strangely, the navy did not mention anything. King Minami Tokuramiya was confused and did not subconsciously reminded: "Your Majesty went to the Guard Division today."

"Oh, I get it."

"Your Majesty is actually"

Hori Teiki smiled and shook her hand and interrupted: "This is your Majesty's family affairs, not something we ministers should argue with."

King Minami Tokuramiya was so blocked by this sentence that he could not speak, so he had to change his target and talk about other items. Other agendas were clichés, but the New Zealand case was a new content. The Army did not object to the Navy's proposal, but believed that if New Zealand was handed over to Japan, Australia could indeed relax, but how to relax and what conditions should be asked for should be discussed based on the contact results. The Navy agreed to the proposal to sell some islands in the Solomon Islands to Germany, and the price was allowed to continue to discuss.

After talking for a long time, Yamamoto Iroku suddenly interrupted: "The South Pacific Fleet has returned from the war. Although the enemy basically gave up this time, it has expanded its territory after all. What reward does the center have?"

"For rewards," Tokuramiya Minorhiko was a little embarrassed. "The center can't afford to pay now. Otherwise, I won't share the condolences from Hawaii this time. I'll leave them all to the Navy and Southern Army. Let's talk about them next time."

Now the redemption business in Hawaii is still in progress. The base camp is called "congratulations". All the goods are distributed to the army and navy. The big one goes to Shanghai to sell them. Too many parts will be left to sell them in China or distributed to the troops. Although there are not many things, there is always an incentive, especially American cigarettes, fruits (Hawaii is an important production area) and other materials are particularly popular among the troops.

"That's right," Yamamoto said lightly, "The center is so stingy, the troops fighting below may not be convinced."

"In difficult times, we can only endure each other for the country. Just wait until the war is over. The navy will be given the field first, and then the army will find a way to do it. If we can get New Zealand, there will be a lot of allocated land at once, and there will be no need to argue about many things." King Minorhiko Higashinomiya explained seriously, "Besides, this battle is easier and the troops are not hard. They should be able to understand the country. At worst, I will go to the dock to greet them and apologize to them."

Yamamoto only smiled and stopped talking. Even if this matter was over.

Takijiro Oshiki looked a little nervous because all the naval executives were going to transfer to the Yamato after the meeting. This was almost a signal that if the persuasion was not successful, he would take action. Chief Yamamoto obviously disagreed with it just now. He was forced to stay by Hori Teiki. He thought that Yamamoto would miss one or two words in his mouth. Unexpectedly, Yamamoto's face was dull and he did not mention moving the Yamato's office, let alone submitting a petition.

Looking at Hori Teiki again, he also looked calm and gentle. He didn't wink no matter what Yamamoto said.

At this time, he could only think silently: The two officials have been with each other for more than 40 years, and they know each other's roots. Hori Teiki often bypassed Yamamoto and Hori Teiki. There are many things to do when they destroy each other, but no matter what, there was no personal attack between the two, and there was no cruel struggle to fight to the death. It was incredible. This is probably the difference in temperament. It seems that I am not good at qi cultivation and not well-cultivated. Even if I want to do a big thing, I don't have the calmness of Mount Tai before the collapse of the face. It can be seen that I still need to practice.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the base camp meeting ended much earlier than the previous few times. The dissatisfied Tokuramiya Minorhiko proposed to everyone to have a drink, but Hori Teki declined, saying: "There are still many things. New military merits are still brewing. It is necessary to be issued as soon as possible. The people below have stretched their necks and waited for the army to hurry up."

Tada Jun smiled awkwardly: "The army is also accelerating its advancement. In the past two days, we have barely reached a consensus. Based on the sphere of influence that each military town once controlled, combined with the population, the number of troops is balanced. The Zhong** nodded this time, and the Kwantung Army also let go and no longer ask for rewards for the Manchuria Incident. However, if you go north, you have to reserve some territory for them. The Indian Army and the Southern Army have basically recognized it, and it is only a matter of the final score and the determination of the distribution ratio."

"Where is the general army?"

"After all, the General Army did not make much contribution, so it would not be granted land, and just give a symbolic severance compensation. In the future, more people will immigrate through military merits, and local jobs will be vacant. They are actually beneficiaries."

"If the Prime Minister thinks this way, that's fine, but the cost of abolition of troops must be completed as soon as possible. The Navy has reported the detailed list of abolitions, and some officers, soldiers and ships have been dealt with one after another."

"The army will continue to work hard. There are few naval personnel and many army personnel, which is different." Tokuramiya Minorhiko said in a smooth move, "Lu Prime Minister and Ishihara Jun have also been very troublesome about this matter recently, so we also agree with the decision to sell some islands to Germany. The debt can be reduced a little bit."

"Then, the chaebols shouted that the navy had taken their interests and demanded compensation from military funds?"

"This" Higashiramiya Minorhiko smiled awkwardly, "This Datura Province is planning a plan."

"What plan can you tell me about it roughly? Need to take out the naval military expenses?"

"No, no, no," Tada Jun said quickly, "No, the Tibetan minister said that he would issue a special national debt, and coordinate with claims against the United States and the Australian-New Zealand war. When the compensation is in place in the future, he will deduct the compensation from the compensation as long as we need a little more compensation."

"They are targeting the compensation?" Hori Teiki sneered, "What if there isn't?"

"How can this be paid without compensation?" Tada Jun was stunned. "If there is no compensation, we will just continue to fight."

"Have you received compensation in the Russo-Japanese War?"

"The situation was special at that time, Russia was poor and hard, but now it is different."

Ito Kazuichi muttered beside him: "After a long time, the chaebols still have to lie on the country to suck blood. Last time he said he used military expenses to compensate, but this time he said he used compensation for compensation. Isn't this the same meaning, it's just a different name."

The others also heard this mutter and pretended not to hear it. The Army's deputy chief, Takashi Shimomura, even turned his face and deliberately fought with others, haha, trying to cover up the embarrassing scene.

Horitiki seemed to have not heard this, but frowned and said meaningfully: "Since you are so sure, I won't say much. Take care of me, let's say goodbye first."

Tsukahara's brows, who had not spoken much, jumped in a slight invisible manner: The chief said to take care of himself at this time, obviously it was very meaningful that the chief actually had a last trace of luck before the meeting. I hope that the situation would not reach this point, but now it seems that the last trace of room for maneuver has finally been lost.

"Let's go" Hori Teiki sighed and called everyone to gallop towards the dock. The black Mercedes-Benz bulletproof car presented by Hoffman opened its long shadow under the street lights.
