Chapter 185 Negotiations between the German Army and Emperor Hirohito
"Then I will try my best! It seems that your country is very determined!"
After a long time, Hideki Tojo responded with a sip of tea.
"Everything is for the victory of the war and survival! Prime Minister Tojo!"
Ribbintrov also smiled slightly, drank some tea and replied.
"It seems that we are all fellow fellows! Mr. Ribbintrov!"
Tojo Hideki narrowed his eyes and said with a smile on his face.
"Or! I'm just here for diplomatic negotiations on behalf of our head of state!"
Ribbintrov responded in an indifferent tone.
Tojo Hideki just showed a disbelief expression and stopped talking after laughing.
Soon, the entire living room fell into a very strange silence.
And at this time, in the Japanese Palace.
The palace surrounded by moats in the Edo era is solemn and gorgeous.
Schwerin von Krosic, who had already entered the Jile Bridge leisurely, was rushed to greet him by the emperor's adviser, Minister Kidodo, and responded: "The Emperor is waiting for you in the 'Matsuno Pavilion' for a long time! Envoy of Krosic!"
"Sorry! I've been waiting for you and His Majesty the Emperor for a long time! Minister of Kido! Please lead the way!" Krosic apologized in a gentle and calm tone.
Minister Kido nodded softly, without answering, and hurriedly led the way in front of him.
After a long time, he introduced the Minister of the Imperial House to the Matsuno Pavilion and met Emperor Hirohito.
At this moment, Emperor Hirohito was wearing a military uniform, waiting majestic in the hall of Matsunoka for Krosic to arrive.
"I'm very happy to see you! His Majesty the Emperor!"
As soon as he saw Emperor Hirohito, Krosic immediately bent over and said respectfully.
Although he did not take Hirohito from the other side, he is now looking for someone to exchange and cooperate, so he puts his attitude very low.
At least you must make your soon-to-be negotiated person feel your gift and sincerity.
Otherwise, it would be very painful for the negotiations I would wait for, so Krosic was so respectful and polite to Emperor Hirohito.
"I read the private telegram sent to me by your head of state! I probably know the purpose of your visit to me today!"
As soon as Emperor Hirohito saw Krosic, he immediately frowned gently, and then spoke in a calm tone.
"That's good! So I wonder what you mean by Your Majesty the Emperor? Are you willing to cooperate in depth with our heads of state?"
Krosic asked happily, smiling along the other party's topic.
"You can consider it! But I need to know whether the performance of the weapons and equipment you provide us can fight against the US military! If it is really possible, then we will consider cooperation, otherwise we can only be sorry! Because we are also very short of pilots now!"
Emperor Hirohito stared at the other party for a moment, and then replied directly.
"Of course! Then I wonder how you plan to test the performance of our weapons and equipment?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Krosic immediately asked in a hurry.
"About this question, I have to hold a meeting with our Navy, Army and Air Force before I can answer you! Because I am just an amateur in the performance of weapons and equipment, not a professional expert! So I hope your country can understand it!"
Emperor Hirohito said in a very polite tone.
Krosic was also a little surprised because he never thought that as the emperor of a country, he would be so easy to talk to.
But while he was surprised, he was also worried that the other party was just talking politely with him and did not have the sincerity to cooperate sincerely afterwards.
"Don't worry! We will reply to you in one day! Because we now need more new weapons and equipment to fight the US military!"
"Because of the battles between Midway and Guadalam, we have killed and injured a lot of soldiers, and the weapons and equipment of the navy, army and air force have also been lost a lot! So I will never let such a thing continue, otherwise our Japanese Empire will be in danger!"
"Although the officers of the military headquarters hid all the frontline affairs, my eyes were not blind! So I still know some real situations!"
Emperor Hirohito sighed for a moment and replied helplessly.
"Ah! This..."
Suddenly hearing Emperor Hirohito speak so sincerely, Krosic was stunned in surprise, not knowing how to answer the other party's truth.
"Isn't it strange that I suddenly said so much truth to you? Why don't I play Tai Chi with you, or use negotiation skills to fight for more bargaining chips and interests with you?"
Emperor Hirohito stared at Krosick in a daze, and suddenly felt as if he could see the other person's inner thoughts clearly and smiled knowingly.
"Yes! Yes! Your Majesty the Emperor! What you said just now really surprised me!"
Krosic, who came to his senses, quickly nodded in agreement.
"It's very simple! Because your head of state and I were on the phone! On the phone, your head of state also spoke to me sincerely from the inside, so I just spoke so many things to you straight to the point!"
"So I hope your country will exchange pilot weapons and equipment with us this time, so it will not be too bad. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to approve this exchange and cooperation. Even if I agree to your exchange and cooperation, it will be difficult for me to explain to my citizens and troops afterwards!"
Emperor Hirohito explained frankly.
"Okay! I understand! Please rest assured by your Majesty 100,000! Because this time, the new weapons and equipment our head of state gave to your country are all the most advanced in our country, and the latest weapons and equipment we are currently in service! The quality is absolutely guaranteed! Otherwise, our head of state would not have attached so much importance to sending Ribintrov and me to negotiate with you and Hide Tojo!"
Upon hearing this, Krosic replied without any concealment and confidently.
"Well! OK! Then let's stop our conversation today! I will hold a meeting with my officers from the Navy, Army and Air Force to vote whether this exchange and cooperation plan will be passed!"
Emperor Hirohito nodded with satisfaction and issued an order to expel guests.
"Then I'll wait for the good news from Your Majesty!"
Krosic responded respectfully, bowing giftily.
Emperor Hirohito nodded with satisfaction, and then ignored Krosic.
And Krosic also stepped back with great sensibility and turned around and left.
Not long after, the Minister of the Aoki Indochi came in respectfully again and met Emperor Hirohito.
"The new weapons and equipment sent to us by the German army all sent people to verify whether they were new weapons and equipment according to my wishes?"
