Beiyang reactionaries

He knew Ishihara Waner, but not very well.But Ishihara Waner's name is also like thunder.Because when Yoshiichi Tanaka was around, he held Ishihara Waner very seriously.Tanaka Yoshiichi did not hide his love for Ishihara Waner at all back then.At that time, many people knew that Ishihara Wanji was the candidate for the chief of staff in Tanaka Yoshiichi's mind, or the candidate for the Minister of War in Tanaka Yoshiichi's cabinet.This can be seen from Ishihara Waner's promotion speed in the base camp.

Yoshiichi Tanaka has said more than once that Wanji Ishihara is the most capable and discerning person in the Japanese military.In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that in Tanaka Yoshiichi's mind, Ishihara Wanji is the best candidate to succeed him as the Prime Minister of the Japanese Cabinet.Tanaka Yoshiichi almost regarded Ishihara Wanji as his successor.

Who is Yoshiichi Tanaka?

Even those radical army generals admire Tanaka Yoshiichi very much.Because Tanaka Yoshiichi took Japan with him back then, and got a lot of benefits.Japan has made great strides forward, and Yoshiichi Tanaka has made great contributions.Whether it is domestic economic construction or diplomacy, Yoshiichi Tanaka has something very unique.

It is precisely because of this that Koiso Kuniaki would think of Ishihara Wanji after taking office in a hurry.

The situation in Japan is very bad now.

The time for North Korea's ultimatum is getting closer and closer, and the situation in the India-Myanmar battlefield and the Pacific battlefield is getting worse and worse. American bombers even bombed Tokyo.Koiso Kunizaki can be said to be ordered in the face of danger, but he has no clue at present.Therefore, I really want to hear the opinion of Ishihara Wanji, a general who is valued by Tanaka Yoshiichi.

It's just that Koiso Kuniaki didn't expect Ishihara Waner to be so negative.

The reason why Hideki Tojo's convoy was attacked was because he compromised with China and angered the military's radical generals.The military does not believe that Japan has been defeated. The military believes that Japan still has great strength and it is not time to admit defeat.That's why the hardliners in the military treat Tojo in this way.

Koiso Kuniaki doesn't want to be like Hideki Tojo.

Therefore, Koiso Kunizaki immediately said: "General Ishihara, are you too pessimistic? Although we are at a temporary disadvantage on the battlefield, we are not without opportunities. If we negotiate with China, Britain and the United States now, we will lose a lot of benefits. You should know the conditions of China, what will happen to Britain and the United States? How can we satisfy them? And we negotiate with Britain and the United States, why must China also participate? Isn’t it better to obtain the maximum benefit between China and Britain and the United States? And you How can we transfer the places we control to China?"

Ishihara smiled slightly and frowned.

Ishihara Wanji was very dissatisfied with the military radicals headed by Hideki Tojo.It is believed that Japan's current unfavorable situation is caused by these people who only care about immediate interests and do not have a big vision.

But Ishihara Wanji is very supportive of Tojo Hideki's idea of ​​stabilizing China.

Although Hideki Tojo was a representative of the radical faction of the Japanese army, he was not completely confused at the critical moment.Although the relationship between Ishihara Wanji and Tojo Hideki is very bad, Ishihara Wanji still supports Tojo Hideki's strategy for China.But seeing those radicals in the army, even Hideki Tojo attacked, Ishihara Wanji's heart was very heavy, and he was even desperate.The army is such a group of blind people, where is the future of Japan.Therefore, Ishihara Wanji has some hopes for Koiso Kuniaki's desire to serve as the Minister of War.If Koiso Kuniaki can be persuaded, and then the emperor can be persuaded, then Japan has a chance to withdraw from the war with dignity.

But now listening to Koiso Kunizaki's meaning, it seems to be different from what I thought.

However, Ishihara Waner cheered up and persuaded Koizaki to say: "Prime Minister, what we have to consider now is how to withdraw from the war, not how to win. Our current opponents have industrial strengths that surpass ours. It is an industrial power. Especially the United States and China, the industrial strength is very amazing. Their industrial scale is several times, ten times that of the empire. Not only that, but their population is much larger than ours. There is no hope of any victory in sight. If we delay, our casualties will increase and our economy will continue to collapse. Now the US bombers are bombing the mainland, and as long as it starts, it will not stop. If the war is not ended now, our country Many cities will be continuously bombed by the United States, which will ruin our industry. Now what we have to do is how to withdraw from the war with dignity and how to keep the interests we can keep.”

"General Ishihara, that's what I meant. We should end the war, we should withdraw from the war, but I don't think it's the right time now. Looking at the conditions proposed by China, it's simply too deceitful. If we fully agree, what are we left with?" ?Even if it’s a negotiation, we should let them see the strength of the empire, so that they don’t talk too much. If China continues to persecute our country like this, we will negotiate with Britain and the United States. If the conditions of Britain and the United States are too harsh, then we will negotiate with China Negotiation. I believe we can always find a best way."

"Prime Minister, you will push the empire into the endless abyss."

Ishihara smiled and shook his head.

Seriously said: "Prime Minister, the empire wants to use the contradiction between Britain, the United States and China to end the war, but it cannot take advantage of the fire. It wants to get the greatest benefit between China and Britain and the United States. They are not fools, and they will not let us think Whatever happens. Now our local defense is not as strong as imagined. Our main force is on the front line, and we have no strength to confront China in an all-round way. China has 600 million troops, tens of millions of reserve troops, and tens of thousands of aircraft. Some of them are aimed at us. If the empire makes a slight move, the blows from China will follow. Once China and us go to war in an all-round way, we will not be able to stand it. What we need now is to stabilize China and not let China stay in the country. Attack us from behind. Only when China is stabilized can we have the capital to negotiate with Britain and the United States.”

"General Ishihara, you think too highly of China."

Xiaoji Kunizhao was dissatisfied with Ishihara Waner's statement, and said: "Half a century ago, China was also a giant, and it seemed so invincible. But after it was really fought, it was also vulnerable. It was from that battle that the empire The war has begun and it has gone on a glorious road. Now China is arrogant and arrogant, and they must deal a severe blow before they will sit down and negotiate."

"What does the Prime Minister mean?"

"Hit the Korean Independence Army hard on the Korean peninsula, and let China see that the empire is not weak. Only in this way can we preserve our interests."

Ishihara smiled and closed his eyes slightly.

Can't help sighing: "Prime Minister, you will lose the best chance, the best chance to quit the war. If you take this step, we will never be able to get rid of China in the future. The fate of the future empire will no longer be in the hands of In our own hands."

Crazy, all crazy.

What is the situation in Japan now, and they still want to fight wars.If Japan continues to fight, what good will it do?

"General Ishihara, what you said is too serious."

Koiso Kuniaki was also angry.

He originally hoped that Ishihara Waner would come to help him, but from the beginning of the conversation, Ishihara Waner kept pouring cold water on him.How could this make Koiso Kuniaki, who was about to show off his skills, happy.

Seeing Xiaoiso Guozhao like this, Ishihara Waner could only say: "Prime Minister, if you want to use me, then you must listen to me. If you think what I said is wrong, then I cannot accept the position of Minister of War .”

"General Ishihara, don't you think about it again?"

"I'm very sorry."

756

"Isn't Ishihara Waner?"

"Japan has appointed Moto Sugiyama as the new Cabinet Minister of War."

Hideki Tojo's cabinet collapsed, and Kuniaki Oiso came to power.

A relatively unknown person.

China attaches great importance to Japan's intelligence, and has analyzed many possibilities in Japan's political arena.I just didn't expect Koiso Kuniaki to come to power.Although the information about Kuniaki Koiso came to everyone soon, everyone has to wait and see how Japan's policies will change after Kuniaki Koiso came to power.

After Koiso Kuniaki came to power, at the beginning of the period, it was revealed that Ishihara Waner was the Minister of War.But in the end, Koiso Kuniaki and Ishihara Wanji had completely different ideas, and it turned out that Ishihara Wanji rejected Koiso Kuniaki's invitation.

The army is also very tough.

The current military leaders don't like Ishihara Waner, thinking that Ishihara Waner has lost the backbone of the Japanese soldier and always wants to end the war.They are very angry at Ishihara Waner's praise of China and the strength of the United States.Therefore, it can be said that it is not only Hideki Tojo who is suppressing Ishihara Wanji, but the radical forces of the Japanese military.Even if Koiso Kuniaki fully supported Ishihara Wanji, there would be many problems for Ishihara Wanji to become the Minister of War.Even if Wanji Ishihara becomes the Minister of War in the end, it is basically difficult for a minister of the Army who does not have the support of the military to perform well.But after Xiaojiu Zhao and Ishihara Waner broke up unhappy, Ishihara Waner completely withdrew from the list of candidates for the Minister of War, and was even suppressed by the military again.

Soon the army recommended a person, that is Yuan Sugiyama.

Attitude is obvious.

The military will definitely not allow someone like Ishihara Wanji to become the Minister of War, because they will not admit defeat.Sugiyama Moto is one of the representatives of the hardliners in the Japanese Army. Compared with Hideki Tojo, he is even worse.It can even be said that he is crazier than Hideki Tojo, but he is also far behind Yoshiichi Tanaka, Hideki Tojo, and Wanji Ishihara in terms of grand strategy.

However, Sugiyama Moto became the Minister of War, and the Chinese side immediately understood the meaning of Koiso Kunizaki's cabinet.Although Hideki Tojo resigned, Japan's newly established internal government still wants to follow the path of militarism.

"Gu Zhengzhi has gone back?"

"Yes. After Koiso Kuniaki took office, the negotiations were interrupted. Gu Masaoyuki is no longer the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs. The former Japanese ambassador to the United States, Shigemitsu Aoi, was the Japanese Foreign Minister. Regarding the previous negotiations, the Japanese side did not have a specific answer, so it was directly suspended. negotiated."

Duan Xun shook his head.

Every time China and Japan want to talk about peace, they will be interrupted by Japanese radical generals.This was the case with Yoshiichi Tanaka before, and it is the same with Hideki Tojo this time.Although China is already very powerful, in the minds of many Japanese military officers, China is still not a powerful country.It is unacceptable for them to negotiate with a former defeat like China.Therefore, every time Japan's high-level leaders want to negotiate with China and make concessions to solve problems with China, these radical generals will jump out.

A bunch of short-sighted fools.

To be honest, if Yoshiichi Tanaka or Hideki Tojo really meet China's requirements, they can really stabilize China.Although it cannot prevent Japan's defeat in this war, at least it can win over China and leave itself with the last dignity.

But now, Japan is completely beyond its capabilities.

"What is Japan doing now?"

"Many Japanese troops have already begun to assemble. The vanguard troops set out by boat, and their destination is the Korean Peninsula. Although Japan did not answer the call from the Republic of Korea, it expressed their intentions with practical actions. The Japanese army will not leave the Korean Peninsula. And Japan has begun to mobilize troops again, and it is heard that this time, 200 million recruits will be provided to the field troops.”

"200 million? Is there anyone in Japan?"

Hearing that Japan was going to provide 200 million recruits to the frontline troops, Li Jishen curled his lips next to him.

200 million is easy to say, how can Japan have so many soldiers.
