1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

The military knew full well that their Emperor, a man with a strong grasp of power and immense ambition, would not allow...

However, Hirohito fucking allowed it!

He actually fucking allowed it!

By the time the army's top brass reacted, Fujiwara no Kanezane already possessed extremely formidable power and numerous supporters, and they could not be easily shaken.

No one knew what Hirohito was thinking, and no one knew how Fujiwara no Kanezane did it. Anyway, no matter how hard Kido Koichi and others tried to persuade him, or to spread rumors, it was useless. Hirohito still trusted Fujiwara no Kanezane overwhelmingly.

As a result, everyone saw how badly the army was oppressed.

Therefore, this only affected three divisions. If the power to mobilize the army was really given to Fujiwara no Kanezane, who knows how terrifying his power would be!

At that time, unless they embark on the path of open rebellion, which is certain to lead to their death, will these senior military officials have any other chance of regaining power?

Araki Sadao didn't want to agree, but the current situation didn't allow him to refuse directly. After thinking about it, he could only find a real problem as an excuse:

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Army warmly welcomes Prince Hachiman's command, but Prince Kan'in and Prince Fushimi..."

After hearing this, Hirohito frowned even more.

Currently, Prince Kan'in Yasuhito serves as the Chief of the Army General Staff, and Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi serves as the Minister of the Naval General Staff. Both of them are important tasks used by Hirohito to suppress the army and navy.

However, Prince Kan'in shouldn't have too many problems. Zairen is the Chief of Staff and a senior member of the family. Even if Fujiwara no Kanezane has the power to mobilize some troops, it won't affect his command authority.

Moreover, Prince Kan'in Yasuhito originally wanted to bring Hayashi Senjuro into the military to suppress Mazaki Shinzaburo and Araki Sadao, but this guy died, and he lost a helper. He would probably welcome the joining of Fujiwara no Kanezane, a conservative.

But Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi is having some trouble.

He was just a Minister of the Naval General Staff, relying on the reputation of the imperial family and Prince Fushimi to suppress those naval generals (and even then he couldn't suppress them). If Fujiwara no Kanezane got involved, it would deal a big blow to his personal prestige.

Even if he has shown respect to Fujiwara no Kanezane in the past two years, he would probably be unhappy, right?

All these factors must be taken into consideration.

Or, why not move the navy first?

Anyway, there is already a Japanese navy in the Northeast.

However, that navy is said to be not yet fully formed, and if it wants to seize power from the old Japanese Navy...

-Thinking about dealing with these complicated relationships, Hirohito felt a headache growing, and even began to feel dizzy. He asked Sadao Araki to go out and wait first, and after calming down, he told Fujiwara Kanezane about these considerations.

The latter looked relaxed:

This matter is actually easy to handle. I have a way to make His Royal Highness Prince Bogong not object.

"how?"

"Isn't he the Minister of the General Staff now? Wouldn't it be better to promote him to the Chief of the General Staff? Anyway, I don't have a proper position, so nominally speaking, it won't affect him.

"Um?

Hirohito narrowed his eyes, and Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi, who was at the Naval General Staff Headquarters at this time, shuddered inexplicably.

"Kanezane, do you support Prince Fushimi?

Just as Fujiwara no Kanezane and Prince Fushimi Hirotaka had discussed in Taiwan before, Hirohito was actually very wary of Prince Fushimi's "stud" because he had no son.

After all, no matter how much of a sow Fujiwara Sow is, the children she gives birth to are all his studs, but the stance of the foals sired by the stud is hard to say, even if there is an "adoption system" in place...

"How is that possible? It was you who insisted that I take on the North Korea issue!"

Fujiwara Kanezane rolled his eyes:

"North Korea already has a large enough army and doesn't need any more troops. I also don't want the army to get too complacent. If I really want to take over, it seems the only solution is to bring in the navy.

Hirohito thought about it for a while, and thought it was a good idea, so he asked

"Then what about the current Chief of Military Command, Taniguchi Naomasa?

As a representative of the "treaty faction", Hirohito still attaches great importance to him. Even if he wants to conquer the other side and expand the Japanese navy, he does not want to make the situation too embarrassing.

For example, putting people into the reserve force to suppress them.

"Simple. The Five-Star Eastern Republic Navy is currently short of a Commander-in-Chief. Transferring him over there will free up space for Uncle Aixian and also serve as an honorary retirement!"

时却

So, after a period of discussion, the matter was tentatively decided:

Prince Bo Gong replaced Taniguchi Naomasa as the new Chief of Military Command. Taniguchi Naomasa and a group of "treaty faction" and ships were transferred to the Five-Star Eastern Republic Navy, and some technical personnel and factories were moved there at the same time.

As for the Army...

Araki Sadao, who was anxiously waiting outside the door, finally saw Fujiwara Kanezane approaching. Just as he was about to bow and ask what was going on, the latter smiled and patted his shoulder:

"Mr. Araki, you, the army, must work hard!

"Um??

"Alright, go in! His Majesty is waiting for you. I have something else to do, so I'll go take care of it first."

Araki Sadao cautiously reentered the room and saw Hirohito looking at him unhappily:

"sit!

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The Army's problem..."

Hirohito cleared his throat, paused, and tried to pique Araki Sadao's mood before giving him a piece of good news that was not good news:

"I have decided to give your army one more chance. Before the end of this year, Hachimangu will not interfere in your army's affairs, but the prerequisite is that you must pacify Korea! I don't want to hear any more bad news!"

Araki Sadao knew that Hirohito's sudden change of mind must have been due to something Fujiwara Kanezane said, so he could only bow down in gratitude and say:

"Hey! The entire army will work hard to pacify Korea for Your Majesty as soon as possible!

"Hmph! I hope so! You should learn from Hachimangu's methods! They're so good that even the Russians would surrender!"

While Hirohito was teaching Araki Sadao a lesson, showing off his brother, and flaunting his own "martial arts", Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi also received news from the palace. When he learned that he was about to become the "Chief of the Military General Staff" he had always dreamed of, he was immediately ecstatic.

As expected of His Highness Prince Kanezane!

He fulfilled his promise so quickly!

It was worth it that I mobilized the power of Fushimi Palace to cheer him on!

Prince Hiroyuki subconsciously wanted to go to Fujiwara no Kanezane to express his gratitude, but suddenly he remembered the conversation between the two of them in Taiwan and forced himself to suppress the thought.

Yes, in order to prevent Hirohito from getting suspicious and doing something bad, it's best not to get too close to Hachimangu in public, and just fully cooperate with and support him in private!

Distancing openly, but trying to please secretly!

Similarly, after receiving the news, Toganogō Heihachirō, a naval leader who had experienced countless storms and political struggles, felt that he had seen more and was deeply impressed by Fujiwara no Kanezane's methods: Awesome!

He quietly further enhanced his voice within the army and navy, and even Hirohito himself approved it!

Now, our His Majesty Hachiman Palace can be said to be "able to attack when advancing and to defend when retreating"!

If Hirohito's son could grow up safely, Fujiwara no Kanezane would be the most important member of the imperial family, bar none;

According to Hirohito's poor health, which seemed to indicate that he would not live for more than a few years, Fujiwara no Kanezane might even become a trusted minister or regent at a young age.

By that time, the only difference between him and the emperor would be a title.

But if Hirohito's son died midway...

We have to take good care of ourselves and live well. There is still a long time to go, and there is still a good show to watch!

Anyway, the navy has already made its bet, and it has plenty of confidence to "rebel on orders" in the future!

"Agent, send a message to 416. Since the army still refuses to behave, then increase their strength!"

"Oh, right, regarding the Navy, those who support radical expansion... Oh, there seem to be too many fleet factions. Find a chance to kill a few of them...

581 Tokyo Yakuza Unification Battle

After leaving the Imperial Palace.

On the surface, Fujiwara Kanezane, who seemed to have let Lu Jun off and demonstrated his non-power-hungry nature, came to a seemingly ordinary five-story building in Tokyo, the headquarters of a gang called "Hikigumi".

Except for a very few people, no one knows why this new gang chose such a tacky and unimpressive name, but the internal legend is that the name was chosen by a noble person himself, and no one dares to complain anymore.

When Fujiwara Kanezane, dressed as a wealthy young man, appeared at the door with his agent, two security guards stopped them and politely asked:

"Sir, I've never seen you before. Are you looking for someone or doing business?"

“Looking for someone.

“Do you have an appointment?

"No.

"Who are you looking for? I can inform them for you..."

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly, remaining polite yet distant and vigilant.

Fujiwara Kanezane noticed that while one person was talking to him, the other was quietly making gestures behind him, as if notifying the rear to prepare for defense.

Compared to those ordinary stupid Japanese gangsters who are noisy and talk all the time, their overall quality is quite high, a bit like military discipline + business management.

Little Mouse...Oh no, it should be Tanaka? Tanaka?

Still, some good stuff done.

However, it's just a gang headquarters, is it necessary to be so heavily guarded?

Is something big going to happen?

Let’s try it a little further!

Fujiwara Kanezane snapped his fingers, and the agent silently rushed up from behind, and without warning, punched the questioner in front of him!

Although he had restrained at least 99% of his strength, the posture still looked quite fierce, as if his delicate and boneless arms were punching through the air with a whistling sound.

However, the two security guards were even more powerful. One of them didn't retreat, but instead charged forward to meet the fist head-on, while the other immediately pulled out a siren and blew it!

In an instant, dozens of large men rushed out of the house. Even the "unrelated people" such as the vendors at the nearby stalls quickly moved and surrounded Fujiwara Kanezane and the other man!

"Okay, that's enough!"

The agent forced the security guard back with two punches, then retreated behind him. Fujiwara Kanezane tutted his words.

"You reacted quickly, but unfortunately you overreacted. Look, you've exposed all your cards now, haven't you? What if I'm just bait, and there are others lying in ambush nearby?"

The leader was startled at first, but then quickly realized that Fujiwara no Kanezane had no ill intentions. He waved his hand to stop the others and asked in a deep voice:

"Who are you? What do you want from us?

"I.

Fujiwara no Kanezane was about to say, "You are not qualified to know who I am yet. Go inform Tanaka," when suddenly a large-scale shouting and killing sounded behind him!

"Kill! Kill them all!

I didn't arrange these people!

In the midst of this confusion, a group of the most typical "not good guys" rushed out from the alleys and corners with all kinds of cold weapons towards the group of "Hiki Group" in the small building!

It's obvious who the target is.

The leader of the conversation no longer cared about Fujiwara Kanezane. He told the two men to keep an eye on him and the maid, then pulled out his baton from his waist and shouted:

"Mandarin Duck Formation!"

"Um???"

Now, Fujiwara Kanezane was even more surprised.

Because, this group of Japanese, actually used wooden boards as shields, police as spears, batons or other short weapons as swords, and quickly and skillfully divided into two teams, formed two decent squad battle formations, and rushed towards the enemy!

From the leader's shout and the situation on the scene, it was clear that even if this was not Grandpa Qi's famous "Mandarin Duck Formation", it was at least not far off, and its effect was outstanding.

Almost immediately, the thirty or forty enemies that swarmed over were hacked to pieces, with screams and wails ringing in the ears. However, only three people from the "Hiki Group" suffered minor injuries and their physical strength consumption was very small.

+The Japanese pirates were fought with the same method they were used to fight the Japanese pirates.

What is against Tiangang?

Tanaka and his team are really talented. They came up with such an interesting thing without me noticing.

But never mind, don't waste time.

Fujiwara no Kanezane instinctively smelled the scent of trouble, and after watching the show for a while with his arms folded, he decided to take action, end the standoff, and arrest the group.
