1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Taking advantage of this gap, the royal family can take further action!

Hahaha, the Japanese-style grand ceremony must be held!

But Hirohito, who was not good at studying, forgot one thing:

How much damage did the "Great Ceremony Controversy" that lasted for three years in the Ming Dynasty cause to the political arena and the country itself?

What kind of results will Japan's "Great Ceremony" bring?

Woolen cloth?

Anyway, Hirohito is still unclear and unaware of this problem. He is obsessed with power and is more concerned about another thing:

"Kaneshi, when are you going to get that little girl from the Saga family pregnant?

"Hmm?嵯娥浩? I didn't specifically use contraception. As long as she wants, she can get pregnant anytime she wants!

"Well, if you're pregnant and the test shows it's a boy, tell me."

"what?

"Adopt him to me as the future crown prince.

"???

580 We are rebelling under imperial order!

Borrowing seeds...borrowing children...Crown Prince.

Putting aside the turmoil that the "Great Ceremony Debate" would cause, Hirohito was probably really crazy.

This is what Prince Hachiman thought after understanding the Emperor's intentions and confirming that he was sincere.

As a person who believes in communism and has a "lonely" value and outlook on life, he really can't understand emotionally why the descendants are so important.

Of course, not understanding something emotionally doesn't mean it's impossible to analyze it logically and rationally, so it doesn't prevent Fujiwara Kanezane from using it as a stunt. After a few seconds of thinking through various issues, he weighed the pros and cons and immediately refused.

"Your Majesty, is this enough?

"Hmm? You don't want to?

"No...there are distinctions between superiors and subordinates, and there's a hierarchy of respect and inferiority. Furthermore, your Majesty's throne should naturally be inherited by your son. The Emperor's bloodline is eternal, so doing this isn't appropriate."

"What's inappropriate about that? You know the relationship between my royal family and the Fujiwara clan!"

Hirohito laughed without any concern:

"You are my own family. My children are your children, and your children are my children. Aren't they all the same?"

His Majesty the Emperor never hesitated to win over Fujiwara no Kanezane, his most important loyal minister and important official (barring Tanichi).

If the other party wants the throne, he will definitely not give it to him, but if the other party does not want it, he will be willing to share some of the imperial power.

In fact, Fujiwara no Kaneki was not only the most powerful military leader in reality, but also the most important ballast of the imperial family.

Even if Hirohito did not want to share power, he was "forced" to share power.

In addition, this is also the best "backup plan" in Hirohito's plan.

What if the women he found didn't get pregnant or didn't give birth to a son?

You can't wait until that time to let Fujiwara Kanezane give birth to a child.

So you must prepare early.

He believed that Fujiwara no Kanezane would not be stingy with a mere illegitimate son, or even one without any official status.

Forget about actually being adopted into the royal family. Even if it was just secretly replaced, it would still be a source of honor and future for the family!

If the Saga family is dissatisfied, the worst that can happen is that they can be given a title. If that doesn't work, the Imperial House Law can be forcibly amended to establish the "concubine system."

I believe no one dares to easily oppose His Majesty Hirohito now.

Damn it, I don’t want your big-faced queen or your ugly genius offspring, and I don’t want to give them to you either, my good son or daughter.

But, rejecting directly is not a good idea at the moment.

Fujiwara no Kanezane thought about it and proposed a solution that both parties could temporarily accept:

"Your Majesty, how about this! This is my backup plan. If things don't go as you expect and I have another son, then I can... no, not adopt him, but use him directly to replace His Royal Highness the Inner Prince, is that okay?"

"Well...if it's as you say, then you need to find the little girl from the Saga family as soon as possible and get her pregnant as soon as possible...

Hirohito was more and more moved.

Always thinking about prioritizing the interests of His Majesty the Emperor before considering yourself, this is a true loyal minister...

"I know. By the way, I need to ask you for some privileges regarding the gang led by Xiaohao..."

"For matters like this, why don't you just go directly to Saito or the cabinet?

“Rules are rules…”

The two chatted about various things and were about to continue discussing future plans and the Greater East Asia Conference when a eunuch rushed in in a panic:

"Your Majesty, Minister Araki has requested an audience and has important matters to report to Your Majesty.

When he heard that it was an army deer, Hirohito frowned immediately:

"What's his business?"

Kanezane is right. The practice of "accepting bribes and passing on information" in the Imperial Palace really needs to be rectified!

You knew I was talking to Hachimangu and you dared to interrupt!

This is no longer an ordinary eunuch, he must be dealt with with a heavy blow!

This is a good opportunity to quietly get rid of all those medical staff.

The eunuch looked embarrassed and didn't answer. Hirohito knew that this couldn't be a good thing and snorted coldly:

"After ten minutes, call him in!

M

After being left alone for a while, Army Minister Araki Sadao cautiously entered the room. He carefully saluted the two men, glanced cautiously at Fujiwara Kanezane, and then carefully reported the latest bad news, which had been repeated countless times recently:

Something has happened on the Korean Peninsula again.

Hmm...that's not quite accurate.

Because there were always incidents on the Korean Peninsula, only the biggest ones would be "honored" to be reported to Hirohito;

If not, Hirohito would have nothing to do all day long, as he would have been unable to finish reading the battle briefings from each division and garrison.

In short, this time, the Korean Front Army Headquarters was bombed, causing dozens of casualties.

No one knew when and how the attackers had installed the bomb in the heavily guarded General Headquarters, but they succeeded anyway. A sharp piece of glass even cut off half of the left palm of the "new" commander-in-chief of the Korean Front Army, Yoshiyuki Kawashima.

This result is still good, because if this person was really killed in the explosion, it would be a lot of fun.

Don't forget that the former commander-in-chief of the Korean Area Army, Hayashi Senjuro, Chief of Staff Nakamura Kotaro, and a group of middle and senior military officers were killed in the bombing. The Japanese military and government used excuses such as "death from illness" to cover up the facts.

However, if two commanders-in-chief were killed in a tiny country like North Korea, which should have been conquered long ago, it would be impossible to conceal the news no matter how hard the military tried.

By then, the whole country will be in an uproar.

After reading just a few lines, Hirohito's good mood disappeared instantly. He roared and threw the folder in his hand at Sadao Araki's face:

"What the hell is your army doing? Are you still able to serve me and the Empire properly? Ah! Answer me! Seven or eight divisions! Can't even catch a few attackers! Can't even stabilize Korea! You're a bunch of trash! Trash! All trash!!!"

The sharp corner of the folder left a bloody mark on Sadao Araki's forehead, but the latter didn't even dare to wipe it off. Instead, he immediately fell to the ground, repeatedly apologizing. He looked very pitiful, which was in sharp contrast to his previous arrogance.

Although he felt that the army had worked hard enough, he did not even have the courage to defend himself after seeing the result of more than 10 divisions sweeping through Korea and spending all the money King Kaneshin had earned in China.

The Japanese Army wanted to adopt the Japanese winning strategy of "Don't lose by a small loss, and don't lose by a small win", but the problem was that North Korea was too close to Japan and too close to the Northeast.

楚1

The sound of explosions in North Korea can even be heard clearly in the Northeast.

You dare to play "base camp battle report" here? Do you think Tokyo is a fool and His Majesty Hachiman Palace is blind?

You're clearly losing, but you're still winning, I'll give you two big pockets!

Compared with Fujiwara no Kanezane's real and repeated great victories, and compared with the Northeast which was as peaceful as the Japanese mainland, the Japanese army that governed Korea was simply a bunch of pure trash.

To be honest, the army was quite grateful that Fujiwara no Kanezane did not take advantage of the opportunity to kick someone when he was down.

Cockroach Hengze, let alone mobilizing the 129th Division to "help", he only needs to spread this news to a large extent in the country. Do you believe that there are ordinary citizens who are really crazy enough to dare to kill all these useless army high-ranking officials?

This is also one of the important reasons why the army is so weak today and is forced to be humble in front of Hirohito.

Seeing General Araki, who used to be so respectable in front of him, now so obedient and well-behaved, Hirohito felt very happy. However, thinking of the long-standing chaos in Korea, he felt a headache and subconsciously looked at Fujiwara Kanezane:

"Kaneshi..."

"Ah, Your Majesty, I remembered that I need to go find Xiaohao and visit Prime Minister Saito Minoru, so..."

Although he could understand why Fujiwara no Kanezane, who did not want to take over Korea, wanted to run away, but in line with the principle of "squeeze as much as possible", Hirohito still stopped him in a bad mood:

"Stop right there! We can't rely on this bunch of idiots to handle North Korea's affairs! As the most important member of the royal family, you must shoulder this responsibility!"

"His Majesty."

The mastermind behind the scenes showed a helpless attitude:

"I can't handle China's affairs anymore, and North Korea is in this state now. It's too energy-consuming. I really don't want to get involved..."

"No! You have to take care of it!"

“I can’t manage it, my capacity is limited.

"Stop farting!"

"Yamete!

Seeing that Fujiwara no Kanezane still refused to give in, Hirohito became really anxious:

"I give you full authority! You can mobilize any unit of the army and navy at will! As long as it can deal with North Korea! You can also transfer the Guards Division! That should be enough!"

Hey, did everyone hear it?

This is the Emperor's golden order allowing me to legally and legitimately interfere in the military affairs of other army divisions!

Don't cry too much when I lead the Imperial Guards Division to rebel.

ring.

what?

No imperial order?

It would be even better if there is no official decree!

Because that means that this order has no expiration date.

As long as you can capture the hearts of the grassroots soldiers, you can use it whenever you want and however you want.

"North Korea's problems cannot be solved by simply increasing the number of divisions to suppress it, Your Majesty..."

Fujiwara no Kanezane grumbled a few words in a pretentious manner, and seeing Hirohito's resolute attitude, he "could only" look at Araki Sadao with a look that said, "You have to think of a way to help me reject this."

"Mr. Araki, what is your opinion?

"I."

Although he did not understand why Fujiwara no Kanezane did not want to take over such a good opportunity to expand his own power, deep down, Araki Sadao did not want the other party's influence to expand further within the army.

Because, let’s forget about the Osaka Division and Kyoto Division, the two traditional “Fujiwara Divisions” and the independent garrison troops stationed in Northeast China for a long time;

Even after a brief stint in command of the Second Division, many officers and soldiers there developed a fondness for Fujiwara no Kanezane... No, that's an understatement; it was essentially a "pledge of allegiance"!

Especially the senior NCOs and ordinary soldiers, after experiencing Fujiwara no Kanezane's "gentle and amiable leadership" and then returning to "the infusion of traditional Japanese spirit," they began to think about being transferred to the Osaka Division or the Kyoto Division.

After hearing about the "land distribution, rent and interest reduction" policies in Osaka, Kyoto, and even Northeast China, many people simply encouraged their families to move to unfamiliar places or even across the ocean!

It was not only because of the temptation of those "development policies", but also because this would give them a "household registration advantage" and make it easier for them to join the "Fujiwara no Kanezane faction".

Initially, the Japanese army high command was completely indifferent, because it was not the first time such a thing had happened - His Highness Yongren had done the same thing before (actually, it was limited to officers, and most of them were noble officers);

Although the method is not as "radical" as Fujiwara Kanezane's, is it effective?

It doesn't have much effect.

Even if he could win the favor of officers, soldiers and even civilians for a while, he would soon be reprimanded and attacked by Hirohito.
