For a period of time since he ascended the throne as the supreme commander of the Army, Tojo Hideki's official residence in Suga Town, Yotsuya District, Tokyo was crowded with dignitaries from both the military and political circles. Former elementary school students, middle school students, military officers, and military students from the Japanese university were all visiting.
His former bosses and subordinates came to "connect with each other" one after another, and the room was filled with expensive gifts. Tojo Hideki fully felt the pleasure brought by power. Hideki Novel Network quickly enter this site "" Advertisement txt download
During this period, Hideki Tojo, following Hirohito's secret order, intensively formed a second batch of troops to rush to the Chinese battlefield. Just waiting for the news of the victory of the Yingkou landing operation to come, four new divisions would set off for Manchuria and Mongolia, and re-enter the battlefield.
A glorious scene from the past.
In addition, Tojo Hideki is also pursuing one thing - urging Tokyo's counterintelligence department to arrest allied intelligence personnel hiding in the Japanese archipelago.
After Hideki Tojo became the Chief of Staff, the first thing he did was to appoint Colonel Naoji Osaka, his subordinate at the Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters, as the director of the Tokyo Counterintelligence Bureau, with the rank of major general.
Since the July 7th Incident in 1937, the Tokyo counterintelligence agency has been unable to solve the mystery of the secret wireless telegrams sent by Japan. A large pile of elusive telegrams have been accumulated in the files of the Japanese Military Police. Ishihara
When Wanji took office, even Japan's most experienced codebreakers could not translate a single line of it.
The emission time of this secret radio wave is not fixed, flickering east and west, making it difficult to catch. Sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes even during the day, groups of mysterious radio waves fly into space. It is very obvious that someone has sent some secret reports from the Japanese archipelago.
, and the Counterintelligence Bureau and the Gendarmerie were at a loss to do anything.
Tojo Hideki, who is known as a "doer", treated this job as his first shot in order to gain political achievements for himself and highlight the incompetence of his predecessor Kanji Ishihara.
However, after several days in a row, I still got nothing.
On the afternoon of the 16th, Hideki Tojo, who could no longer endure it, rushed to the Tokyo Counterintelligence Bureau with several confidants he had newly captured in the General Staff Headquarters, and summoned the director, Major General Osaka, and the commander of the Tokyo Military Police, Major General Yoji Shigata, and the military police.
Captain Toshijiro Ohtani, Lieutenant Colonel and others.
After spending more than an hour asking about the progress of solving the case, Tojo Hideki said rudely: "Gentlemen, this kind of telegram threatens the fate of the Japanese Empire. Previously, Ishihara was incompetent and allowed the enemy to hide in our heartland for several years."
And did nothing. As the new Chief of Staff, I will never allow this situation to continue. You must solve this case as soon as possible, otherwise don’t blame the military for being ruthless!"
The words of Chief Shinza made Osaka and others feel like they were mourning. In the past few days, they have tried every means, such as sending people to distribute false information and pay attention to where it will appear, using the latest equipment donated by Germany for signal monitoring and other detection methods.
All in vain. Seeing Tojo Hideki's decisive attitude, Osaka and others were filled with scorn. Even Kanji Ishihara, known as the imperial think tank, had been unable to solve the case for several years. How could it be so easy to solve the case?
Suzuki Teiichi, the Minister of State and Director of the Planning Academy who had an affair with Hideki Tojo while in Australia, happened to be in Tokyo organizing immigration to Australia and the Americas and the relocation of key factories and enterprises. In the morning, he had secret discussions with Hideki Tojo at the General Staff Headquarters.
."Hunter Novel Network" None/pop-up advertisement/advertisement full text txt download In order to show his closeness to the leader of the ruling faction, Tojo Hideki invited him to come to the Tokyo Counterintelligence Bureau to consult on his behalf.
Suzuki Teiichi did not want the relationship between Tojo Hideki and his subordinates to become tense, so he immediately said:
"I suspect that these telegrams are all top-secret information sent to South China... I don't know if you have noticed that when we were fighting against the South China army, strong radio interference often occurred, causing our radio contact to
Interruption, but our opponents can still communicate freely, which proves that the radio level of the South China Army is far superior to ours!
"This time the Third Aircraft Carrier Task Force went out, although the base camp repeatedly requested the fleet to conduct radio silence during the march to prevent the enemy from discovering our strategic intentions, but based on calculation, at least in the early hours of yesterday, the fleet should have arrived in the predetermined sea area and then launched
Attack on Yingkou Port, they should restore radio contact with us as soon as possible...
"However, so far, we have not received any telegrams from the fleet, and we know nothing about the progress of the war. Although the commander-in-chief has sent a Baishi Command reconnaissance aircraft with a range of up to 4,000 kilometers deep into the Bohai Sea to find out the truth.
But all the reconnaissance planes never returned, and not a single radio wave was sent back. It is estimated that they are all in danger.
"Based on all the above, I don't think we should put too much pressure on the intelligence agencies. After all, competing with the enemy in our backward fields requires more patience."
Suzuki Teiichi's words made Tojo Hideki more and more worried. In fact, he also knew that the top priority now should be to pay full attention to the war in the Bohai Sea and make all response plans, but now the third aircraft carrier task force
The formation is like
Like a kite with a broken string, there was no news. He could only try to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, pretending to be confident and find other things to do, so as to attract the attention of the people around him and the emperor, cabinet and ministers who were far away in Australia.
force, lead it elsewhere.
Tojo Hideki nodded to Suzuki Sad, then with a smile on his face, he said to his subordinates:
"Suzuki-kun's analysis makes sense, but counterintelligence work is not just about deciphering secret codes. Observation of daily affairs is also a very important part. For example, there are so many people in our General Staff Headquarters, and many of them have access to the core of the empire.
Confidential, a complete supervision system should be established for them and efforts should be made to find clues.
"You must know that the enemy's purpose is to obtain intelligence, and he pays far more attention to any major decision-making than others. By making insinuations, slowly identifying the suspects, and then screening them one by one, there will always be gains. Back then, I was at the Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters
This is how we did it, and the effect was very good. The Soviet, European, American and Chinese intelligence agents have almost disappeared. I think as long as we do it seriously, we will definitely find something!"
Tojo Hideki's beautiful female secretary and his lover, Miss Mika Reiko, was shocked when she heard this: "Almost all those who can enter the staff headquarters are elites of the Imperial Army, and their personnel files have been screened and filtered countless times.
, could there be traitors among them? Your Excellency, will monitoring such soldiers lead to criticism and backlash?"
Tojo Hideki saw that the faces of Major General Hanatani Masaru, the Chief of Operations of the General Staff Headquarters, and Major General Etsujiro Shuno, the Intelligence Minister, who had followed him to the Counterintelligence Bureau, immediately knew that he had offended the public and would be inseparable from their future work.
The support of these people immediately smoothed things over:
"I just play an analogy. Of course, the staff of the staff headquarters does not need to be monitored, but other departments that can obtain confidentiality must not be let go ..."
Tokyo ’s voice did not fall, the Tokyo Anti -Spy Department was responsible for monitoring Qingtian Shaozo in China and South China in the conference room:
"Jian Jian, I think you need to listen to the latest broadcast ... It is news about our third aircraft carrier's special mixed fleet.
! ""
Dongjo Yingji's face changed greatly, and Yu Ren personally explained. He patted his chest to successfully complete the combat task of the counterattack of East Asia.
In fact, I ca n’t sleep well even when I sleep. I have always wanted to know what the effect of the plan is implemented.
There was almost no hesitation. Dongjo Yingji immediately followed Qingtian Shaozuo to the monitoring room. The news of the Bohai Sea in the Bohai Sea was repeatedly wiped out. After listening, he stayed as a wooden chicken.
Sit on the ground.
As a landlord, Major General Osaka was scared and quickly stepped forward to help Tonjo British machine, and condolences to consolation: "Maybe this is the propaganda of the man who deceives himself.
Dooled to be deceived! "
Dongjo Yingji seemed to grab the roots of life -saving straws, with a spirit of spirit, and even said: "Yes, this must be the shameless propaganda of the man!
With retreat, it is impossible for the whole army to be over ... it must be this! "
The Takuya Valley and Shino Hyatsu Ryo, etc. who worked under the hands under Ishihara, looked at each other, and quickly made a judgment in their hearts:
It is impossible for Anjiajun to lie on this issue that is very easy to disassemble, and Ishihara Waul has already made a judgment that the emperor ** team that has lost land support can not break through the defense of the other side's advantage at all. Failure is destined.
However, they did not expect anyway, the Emperor ** team would lose so much.
Tosho Yoshiro thought for a while, and stepped forward to suggest:
"Generally, I think we should immediately return to the staff headquarters. In such a major situation, the intelligence personnel of the Nanjing Central Government and local troops in the branch of Zhana may not have no wind ... Whether the news is really true
The war that happened in the Bohai Sea must have ended, we need to face it and make it in time! "
Although Tonjo is very reluctant to face this problem, he also knows that raising his butt to install ostriches will only make things worse. The most important thing is to understand the truth, and then make a targeted response to the Emperor, and give the Emperor to the Emperor.
He explained with the heavy ministers, otherwise his total chief may not be able to do it anymore.
Half an hour later, the group returned to the staff headquarters. In the four special agencies of "Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum" in China, the news has been continuously passed back.
The Japanese ships are covered with sinking photos. The Bohai Sea surface is all the floating bodies of the Japanese sailor. On the mouth of Yingkou, the beach is full of tens of thousands of residual arms, which makes people have nightmares.
At this time, Tojo Hideki had completely calmed down. He knew that such a big news could not be hidden from the emperor, so he immediately called Hirohito and sincerely reviewed his mistakes, saying that he did not clearly judge the situation, which led to the
Such a huge failure occurred, and he asked Hirohito to remove himself from the post of chief of staff.
Tojo Hideki knew very well that the entire strategy of counterattacking the mainland was actually formulated by Hirohito and the ministers at the meeting. He was just following orders. As long as he lowered his posture and took the initiative to support the emperor and the ministers, things might not be possible.
There is a turning point.
In the army and civilians, Tojo Hideki ordered to block all news of the failure, and used the continuous victory in America to cover up everything.
I don’t know how the meeting and discussion was held in Australia. The next morning, Hirohito’s order to pardon Tojo was sent to the General Staff Headquarters. Tojo Hideki, who had not slept all night, finally let go of the big stone hanging in his heart.
At the same time as the order arrived, there was also a forwarded secret message from Hitler to Emperor Hirohito - the German side requested the Japanese aviation force to launch an air raid in East Asia to divert the attention of the South China Army, preferably within the next week.
As the emperor's loyal dog, Tojo Hideki felt that things were difficult to handle, but he still decided to take on this arduous task for the sake of his own future.
At noon on November 17, Hideki Tojo made a high-profile announcement on behalf of the Japanese base camp:
In view of the fact that Ecuador, Peru, Chile and other countries on the west coast of South America have successively announced their participation in the "Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere", Japan has finally "secured its imperial prestige in the Pacific" and "the final victory of this war is a foregone conclusion".
In order to celebrate the "victory", the jubilant citizens of Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagasaki and other places held grand colorful flag parades and lantern parades, which made people laugh and cry.
