Chapter 36 Meeting
General Staff Headquarters, Tokyo, Japan

"Baga! You idiot Matsui Iwane! Such a huge accident in the Sixth Division has not been reported! He is not worthy to be the commander of the dispatched army! He should go to the pigsty in the countryside to dig out excrement!"

"It's the same with the idiot Tsukada Ko, they...they should apologize to the Emperor!!!" Continuous cursing came from Prince Zain's mouth.

After understanding the cause and effect of the incident, he was already trembling with anger!

After a series of cursing, a violent gasp came from his heaving chest.After venting his anger, he still calmed down. Prince Zairen knew very well that at such a critical time, the headquarters of the dispatched army was destroyed, and there was an infighting and exchange of fire with the subordinate troops.What kind of consequences will this situation have in this place in Songhu?

At this moment, what Prince Zairen can do is to try to calm down this incident before the Songhu defenders react, so as not to cause further expansion of the situation!
If it was discovered by the defenders before the subdued, then, this time, they would inevitably suffer a serious injury.

"First, immediately order all the troops on the front line to cease fire, return to their respective stations, and strengthen their vigilance!"

"Second, immediately send a telegram to North China. Commander Terauchi Toshiichi will serve as the commander of Songhu to set up a command organization. He will take office within three days! The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Kenkichi Ueda, will be transferred to the commander of North China. He will take office within three days! Kwantung Army The commander, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, will take up the post temporarily, and he will take up the post immediately!"

"Third, after Terauchi Shouyi took office, he immediately organized troops to go to the seaside and seek the navy's protection."

"Fourth, immediately contact King Fushimi Miyahiro, Chief of the Naval Command, and tell him that I want to have breakfast with him!"

"Hi!"

"Hope, everything is still in time."

At this time, the light of dawn had penetrated the night sky, revealing a ray of bluish-white color on the horizon.

North China North China Front Army Command
"The Imperial Japanese Army Ministry of Staff Headquarters sent a telegram to appoint Terauchi Toshiichi as the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, and to set up a command organization on his own. He will take up the post within three days! The former commander of the North China Front will resign immediately, and the former commander of the Kwantung Army will be replaced. General Kenkichi Ueda takes over."

Terauchi Shouyi, who had just ended the North China War, accepted the order to be the commander of the dispatched army in Shanghai with a bewildered expression.

Northeast China Kwantung Army Command
"The Imperial Japanese Army Ministry of Staff Headquarters sent a telegram that General Ueda Kenkichi will assume the post of commander of the North China Front Army, and he will take up the post within three days! The former commander of the Kwantung Army will be concurrently served by Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, the commander of the Kwantung Army!"

In the snow-covered room, the communications officer immediately withdrew after sending and reading out the latest message.Inside the house, Kenkichi Ueda and Hideki Tojo were left looking at each other.

"It seems that a major event has happened somewhere! Lieutenant General Tojo, from now on, Kanto will depend on you to pay more attention!" Kenkichi Ueda was keenly aware of the occurrence of a major event, otherwise he would not have been in office during his tenure. In the case of less than full time, a new job will be arranged separately.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Commander! I will definitely lead the Kwantung Army well!" For Hideki Tojo, today can be described as joyous.He was quite upset when he was pulled out of the warm blanket, but it turned out to be the announcement of his promotion!

This really made Tojo Hideki overjoyed. Originally, he had to wait for Kenkichi Ueda's three-year term to expire before he would have the opportunity to be promoted to the post of commander of the Kwantung Army, but now he is concurrently serving.From now on, the Kwantung Army will be honored for him!Of course, at present, this joy still has to be tightly held back in my heart, and I have to show a reluctance on my face.

"Then I'll go back and pack my things. I'll hand over the military affairs later, and I'm going to leave. I'd like to ask Your Excellency Tojo to arrange a plane to take me to North China! Thank you!" Kenkichi Ueda knew very well that he had resigned at this time , and he is also very clear about Tojo Hideki's ambitions, so he stays in the Kwantung Army for one more day at this time, which is a kind of constraint.Therefore, he was going to set off immediately, so as not to be hated by Hideki Tojo.

"You are serious, this is what I should do!" Hideki Tojo was also very kind, and immediately agreed happily.He didn't even want to say a word to persuade him to stay, which shows how much he wanted Kenkichi Ueda to leave as soon as possible.

While these Japanese commanders were constantly mobilizing, Prince Zairen and Prince Bogong also started breakfast in a traditional Japanese building.

Their childhood training allowed them to abide by the rules of never talking, so after a short and silent meal, they began a formal meeting.

"Prince Bo Gong, may I ask if the naval fleet still in Shanghai waters can provide some support for the imperial army?" Prince Zairen spoke first, and he was called according to the Japanese imperial family registration, so the intention was obvious, the high-ranking nobles coerced the low-ranking nobles.

"·········································································································································································································································································································· Directly address Prince Zai Ren's military rank at this time, which means that I am at the same level as you, so don't even think about beeping.

"·········································································································································································································································································································… Ministers are in charge of everything.But in fact, it was all their words, so King Bo Gong's refusal was very obvious.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, I really can't do anything." King Bo Gong made a movement of a soldier to step down as he spoke to express his apology.

As an apologetic artifact in Japanese traditional culture, when Shi Xiazao comes out, it is absolutely gods who block and kill gods and Buddhas, and Prince Zain is so blocked that he can't say a word.I had no choice but to put down a sentence bitterly: "Then interrupt! I will go to ask His Majesty the Emperor for instructions now." After that, he left angrily.

King Bogong didn't get up until Prince Zairen walked out of the room, and he still maintained the posture of a soldier sitting down.

"Could it be that he is really powerless?" Prince Zai Ren, who had already walked outside the door, turned his head to see Prince Bo Gong who was still holding his seat, and muttered in his heart.Then he got on the car and went to the palace to meet Hirohito.

"His Royal Highness Prince Bo Gong, His Excellency the Prince has left." The steward looked at King Bo Gong who had been keeping his seat as a soldier, and reminded him gently.

"Come and help me, I'm numb and can't move!" King Bo Gong said through gritted teeth, his face blushed already tortured by this posture.

"Yes, yes, I will come right away!" The butler panicked after hearing this.

"I didn't expect it, I almost risked my life! The grade is really not young, after all, I'm 62." King Bo Gong who was lifted up sighed and laughed at himself. "However, it's worth it to watch Zai Ren suffer, haha!" Thinking of this, King Bo Gong smiled happily.

It's not that King Bo Gong really doesn't have the ability to win what Prince Zairen requested, but that he doesn't want to agree to it at all.The reason is Japan's traditional sea-land dispute.
