Chapter 1867: Saving the country in a curve

In fact, the island countries during World War II did not have much power according to the Constitution of the Island Empire, especially without any military power. Since the establishment of the "active military officer system of ministers" in the 1930s, the power of the cabinet prime minister is even pitiful. It is limited to domestic economy and public security, and even diplomacy cannot even make decisions. Everything can only be followed by the mercy of the military.

The real power of the island country is in the hands of the locusts. As the great marshal of the Locust Army, Hirohito, he controls everything.

However, since the fall of the Kobe Cabinet (Koe Fumima), the Locust showed great trust in Tojo. Now, Hideki Tojo is not only the Prime Minister, but also serves as the Minister of Military Affairs and Chief of Staff, and is even a general of the Army, which is extremely powerful.

Therefore, Hideki Tojo's words can definitely represent the meaning of the cabinet members or even the locust. After his conclusion, who can say anything else, the command center fell into silence again.

"Dongdongdongdongdong".

Hirohito knocked on the table with dissatisfaction, "Don't say it agrees or objections, what's that? Say... Everyone wants to say, Shunrok Hata, start with you."

Army Minister Shinroku Hata stood up from his seat, pulled his military uniform, and said, "Your Majesty the Sky Locust, I do not agree with Prime Minister Tojo's opinion."

Speaking of this, Hata Shunruo subconsciously looked at Hideki Tojo, looked at Hideki Tojo's sinister gaze for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and said, "The army three armies are advancing, and the locust army is retreating step by step. It is no longer possible to stick to it. The local decisive battle plan can be said to have completely failed. We should recognize the situation and find ways to preserve our strength in order to make a comeback."

"Okay, how do you understand the situation and how can you make a comeback?" Hideki Tojo was furious.

Hata Shunruo hesitated slightly, saying: "'Using direct measures cannot solve the problem and being unable to face the enemy head-on, he had to adopt a slow and indirect way, mobilizing people and forces from all walks of life outside the military, and even international forces as much as possible, adopting a strategy of circumventing interference from the side, fighting for and awakening the support of the people bit by bit, seeking external assistance, and even giving up some of the things that have been successful, carrying the infamy of people around him. Although he endured humiliation, his determination to fight would not change.' This passage was said by Wang Jingwei, which is what he said to save the country on a curve..."

Before Hata Shunji had finished speaking, there were already noises everywhere. Facts proved that Wang Jingwei's curved rescue of the country did not save China. Instead, he was despised or even assassinated because of this.

This is a completely unsuccessful case and does not conform to the spirit of the empire, so voices of opposition arose for a while.

But unexpectedly, Hirohito seemed to like to hear these words, and he openly stopped the noise and ordered Shunruo Hata to continue.

After adjusting slightly, Hata Shunruo continued to say: "Yes, the curve of saving the country is despised by the vast majority of people. For that, the final facts also prove that this is not a wise decision. But what I want to say is that if Wang Jingwei had not surrendered to the Locust Army, but the Mid-English army or the Soviet army, without a clear hostile relationship, would his theory be successful?"

The room suddenly became very quiet, and everyone looked at Hata Shunruo thinking. Obviously, Hata Shunruo's words touched them.

There have always been two voices in island countries. One is to surrender to the Cairo Convention of England and Mid-Soviet.

The other is to resist to the end until the battle is over and one soldier.

As for surrendering to the Chinese, the island countries had never had such an idea. They also clearly realized that they had committed too much in China and that peaceful means could no longer be used between Nakajima to resolve this hatred. Only by living to the death.

The meaning of Hata Shunroku's words is actually the first type. His cleverness lies in the fact that he presents the results from a unique perspective, and at the same time, he also successfully avoids the word "surrender" that represents cowardice and surrender.

"Save the country in a curve"? This term sounds so nice, it not only preserves the face of the locust, but also conforms to the spirit of the empire.

"What do you think of Hata Toshikun's suggestion?" Hirohito's face looked much better and his tone became much softer.

During the entire World War II, if Hitler relied on his skills, ability and charm to rule Germany, then Hirohito's rule over the island country was entirely dependent on the flattery of military and political officials such as Tojo and others. His assistance was not possible without the planning and decisions of military and political officials such as Tojo, Yamamoto, and Hata Shun, and without any political and military experience, Hirohito, who lived in the palace, would never have done much.

When the war went smoothly, Hirohito was naturally overjoyed, but when it was a critical moment, he was more scared than anyone else.

Fear of death, fear of being judged, fear of losing the aura of the locust.

Therefore, even though he trusts Hideki Tojo, after weighing the pros and cons, the first thing he considers must be to ensure his own safety.

In the face of Tojo's suggestion of "fighting the death to the death and burning the jade and stones", Hata Shunji's suggestion is obviously safer and more reliable.

Hirohito's face was the weather vane. The people in the house immediately turned to the rudder, and they all agreed with Hata Shunrok's plan, accepted the Cairo Convention, and surrendered to Ying, Misu.

As for the unrepentant Hideki Tojo, he still clamored that the War of Resistance was the best decision. Unfortunately, Hirohito Akali did not listen to his noise, and even scolded him for being impure in his intentions and wanted to push the Yamato nation into a situation where he was completely destroyed by the race.

This is already quite heartbreaking. No matter how unacceptable Tojo is, he can only stop.

The base immediately decided to issue a formal order to the island country's office in Spain, ordering them to contact the UK and MRT immediately, to facilitate the matter as soon as possible, and to resolve the island country's crisis as soon as possible.

At the end of the meeting, Hirohito also mentioned the preparations he should make before surrender. He believed that except for war preparations and weapons, all other materials should be hidden.

Various wartime vehicles, rubber, industrial supplies, military uniforms and other things were distributed to the public in pieces.

Large ones cannot be scattered among the people, such as guns, cannons, ammunition, and armed supplies are all hidden in caves in the deep mountains and forests.

All gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and jade, as well as a large number of cultural relics plundered from China, must be found to be buried safely and reliable, for the purpose of restoring the country in the future.

What is even more unexpected is that Hirohito also suggested that the military headquarters immediately "transfer" some elite soldiers who participated in World War II, exchanged their files and posts, so that these elite locust soldiers could hide in the people as the people and preserve the country's military strength.

At the same time, some important information must be quickly destroyed, such as the Nanjing Massacre, Unit 731 and other various war crime evidence to escape war sanctions.
