Chapter 781 Ah! Navy (12, 1800 Votes Plus Additional Content)

ps: I'm really going to die... But, I still need a few monthly tickets to hold my head down!

After Oka Keijun fell, the second place was Lieutenant General Onishi Takijiro of the 40th term. Onishi is a thorough aviation faction. He has expressed his sympathy for Hori Teikichi more than once. He even wanted to follow Hori Teikichi to go abroad, but was stopped by Yamamoto Isoroku. Now he is as friendly to Kakuta as if he saw his own people. Once the anti-rebellion army raised the flag and Oka Keijun died, Kakuta only said a few words and he immediately announced his defection. However, he still asked about Yamamoto Isoroku and Inoue Narumi.

"They are drinking at the commander's house..." Kakuji Kakuta said with a smile, "They didn't drink earlier or later, but today. Ohnishi-kun, what do you think?"

"Oh, oh... yes... yes... I see, I see... I see." Kakuji Kakuta knew the real reason why Yamamoto Isoroku and Inoue Narumi went to drink, but he refused to reveal it. Ohnishi Takijiro misunderstood and thought that Yamamoto and Inoue were deliberately cooperating with Hori Teikichi, so they were not in the Navy Ministry and didn't even call. Considering the relationship between Yamamoto and Hori Teikichi and his consistent support for Hori Teikichi, he thought it was all part of the "anti-rebellion" strategy. As for Yamamoto helping Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi to deal with Hori Teikichi, Onishi Takijiro said it was impossible without even thinking about it. They were friends for many years, and Hori Teikichi was promoted to power by Yamamoto. It is better to believe that the sun will rise from the west than to believe that.

As for Commander Yamamoto's rebuke for not resigning, he should have considered and planned the strategy long ago, which is very meaningful. But why didn't he tell me directly? Was he afraid that I, Onishi, would be a traitor? He immediately blamed Yamamoto Fifty-six in his heart, thinking that he was not sincere enough: Anyone can be a traitor, but I can't. I am the head of the Aviation Headquarters! I fully agree with Commander Hori Teikichi's promotion of pilots to officers. How can you doubt me!

Now, Onishi Takijiro not only led the Navy Ministry bureaucrats to respond, but also took the lead in wrapping up the "Respect the Emperor and Fight the Traitor" cloth strip. Under his demonstration, a large number of officers and soldiers joined in enthusiastically, and for a time there were not enough cloth strips and they had to be made temporarily. This is certainly not to say that everyone in the Navy Ministry is born with a rebellious mind, but the Navy Ministry has always been at odds with the Naval General Staff over the issue of power distribution. The top leaders may still fight on the surface, but the middle and lower levels are fighting every day. After Yamamoto Isoroku took charge of the Navy Ministry, this situation was exacerbated. When they heard that the Chief of the Naval General Staff was going to be punished, they of course joined in enthusiastically. The only exception was a few old antiques in the Naval Headquarters who were obsessed with battleships. Onishi Takijiro did not bother with them and directly detained them, and there was no need to kill them.

7:45, the two major naval decision-making organs, the Naval General Staff and the Navy Ministry, were successively controlled, and the speed was jaw-dropping. This was of course related to the full set of mechanized equipment, fierce firepower and lightning-fast momentum of the Marine Brigade, and also related to the carefully formulated plans by a group of staff officers such as Matsuda Chiaki - these are people who deal with operations every day, and they are familiar with the situation in Tokyo and the command center. Isn’t it easy to come up with a coup plan? So the situation was controlled much faster than the 226 mutiny.

Another point that cannot be ignored is that the 226 mutiny was just a group of middle and lower-level officers making trouble. At most, there was only one lieutenant colonel. There was no support from the upper level and no unified leadership. The goal was not particularly clear. Especially after assassinating a large number of important officials, they were at a loss. Even the military supplies were not prepared, and the situation became chaotic. Even so, Chiaki Matsuda personally studied it thoroughly - he was a sympathetic person to the coup at that time, and he had been deeply analyzing the causes and processes of the coup, especially focusing on the failure. This "rebellion" was completely the theoretical result after the analysis. In terms of organization, command, and system, it was the tactical application of the marshal and admiral in person.

The best commander, the best staff, the strongest soldiers, the most sophisticated weapons, the most sufficient supplies, the most careful plan, and the most favorable opportunity constitute the complete logical system of "Heaven's Punishment of the ****" - perfect!

Hijacking the American fleet was the most critical part of the coup - the weapons, military supplies and cargo ships needed for the coup, the cover and excuse for landing in Tokyo, the coordinated Second Air Force and the fuse for the fallout were all ready, so Inoue Narumi said that Hori Teikichi was ruthless: the hijacking of the fleet was completely the starting gun for the coup, which not only intensified the conflict, but also successfully attracted attention. All subsequent reactions and even the public fallout between Hori Teikichi and Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi were part of the plan and steps. This is not just taking one step, looking three steps, and thinking five steps, but more than ten steps.

If it still fails, it will be fate.

After the emergency repair, the telephone line was quickly restored. Hori Teikichi had been giving orders in the office of the deputy minister of Ito Seiichi (since Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi was in the hospital, the general office was useless, and the core hub of the military headquarters was in the deputy minister's office). Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Hello, this is Tojo Hideki. I have something urgent to talk to Vice Minister Ito about."

"Report to the commander, the vice minister just left and is going to the hospital. Do you have any instructions? Do you want me to call him back immediately?" The person who answered the phone was Hori Teikichi's confidant, Colonel Yamamoto Shin'o, who was assisting in the on-site handling. He reacted quickly and immediately made up a story.

"Forget it, it's the same if you pass it on. You must act quickly. Hori Teikichi's supporters launched a coup. The people I sent to monitor are finished. Please ask him to organize the rebellion immediately. It will be too late if it's too late!" Tojo Hideki shouted loudly on the phone, "I also heard the sound of fighting. I'm afraid they have launched a full-scale attack. He went to the hospital to inform His Highness. You quickly inform him and let them leave!"

"Ah... ok, ok! I'll inform him right away. Is it okay for you to be here?"

With a click, Tojo Hideki had hung up the phone.

"Hideki Tojo?" Horikichi pondered the name and showed a thoughtful expression, "It seems that he has something to do with Prince Fushimi Miyahiro Kyouki?"

"It should be that the people monitoring your residence are Tojo's men. I'm afraid the plot is not trivial."

"No wonder." Horikichi nodded, "I know it, let it go first, he won't be able to escape!"

The phone rang again immediately, and this time it was Ishihara Wanji who called anxiously: "Hey, hey, Ito Seiichi, what are you crazy about? The Navy Red Deer are mutinying, Tenchu ​​****, Kiyoshi Side?" What are you doing? This is rebellion!"

Yamamoto Chiao was silent, and Horikichi took the microphone himself.

"Hey, did you hear that? Why didn't you answer? How do you control the navy? Can you still gather the troops and restrain them? If not, I will send out the army." Ishihara Wan'er's tone was urgent and angry, "Smart Take your troops back as soon as possible. We will be defeated in a sea battle, but you can't do a land battle. Tomorrow there will be countless casualties when the guns are fired!"

"Ishihara, it's me!"

"You? Are you not Ito Zhengichi? Who are you?"

"Can't you hear it?"

"I... ah... Horikichi!" Ishihara Wanji exclaimed, "Are you causing trouble? Why don't you stop quickly? You are going to be knighted, so don't be confused."

"Am I confused? Are so many patriotic officers and soldiers confused?"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you. The Navy has always been sorry for you, but the Army hasn't been sorry for you, right?" Ishihara Wanji heard Horikichi's voice coming from the room of the deputy director of the Military Command Department, and he didn't know the other party. He has taken control of the military headquarters, "But you have to take the overall situation into consideration. You can't get out of the base camp if you do this. His Highness just entered the palace urgently. You also know His Majesty's attitude. At 226 hours, he was furious and resolutely suppressed. Listen to my advice. "Hurry up and go to Germany. As long as you run away, I will take care of the other things for you. At the worst, I will let you fly away on an army plane."

"Do you think it's possible?"

"I..." Ishihara Wan'er was speechless and could only say angrily, "Then I will let the Guards Division take to the streets. When the time comes, we will have no eyesight. Don't blame me. You can't beat the army, let alone It’s still the Guards Division. How old is your Highness, the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Command? Just bear with it.”

"Wait a minute." Horikichi said after a few seconds of silence, "I think it's best for you not to move. It's best to stay neutral. This will be in your favor."

"How can it be possible that it won't move?" Ishihara Wanji stamped his feet angrily, "If we don't move despite the huge changes, will the army also imitate you and rise up in rebellion? Does the empire still want it?"

"I'm not talking about the Army, I'm talking about you."

"You want to assassinate me?"

Horikichi was angry and funny: "What are you thinking? Your urethritis was cured by the special medicine I gave you. If I wanted to kill you, I could just use some poison. Why bother?"

When Kanji Ishihara was young, his crotch was poked by a saber, and the injury always occurred. It always caused inflammation and could not be cured. In severe cases, he even urinated blood. After Horikichi got penicillin from Germany, he gave several boxes to Ishihara Wanji, and finally cured his stubborn illness. After knowing that the price and consumption of the "special medicine" were enough for his salary for a year, Ishihara smiled and gasped - it's expensive!

"Then tell me... don't fool me." Ishihara Kanji is now frightened by Horikichi. The man who vowed to go abroad two days ago suddenly led troops into Tokyo today and took control of it in a few hours. The Ministry of Navy, Military Command and other key agencies were really unexpected.

"I was here just now, and Tojo Hideki called Seiichi Ito... They have been in contact during this period. Ishihara-kun, you are so smart, you must know what is behind it, right? Do you still want me to wake you up? "?" Horikichi's tone was still calm, "The people who have been monitoring my residence these days are also Tojo's spies and military police. I just arrested several of them. I don't think you know, do you want to be like this?" How to do it?"

"Private Tojo!" Ishihara smiled angrily and cursed, "How dare he!"

"It's not up to you whether you dare or not." Horikichi mocked him, "Don't you think I dare too..."

"You..." Ishihara Wanji was speechless, and finally said, "I must mobilize the Guards Division. You have to do it yourself, otherwise everyone will not be able to step down! Also, don't move the Army Ministry and the base camp, otherwise you will really die. No rest.”

"Of course, the navy will handle the navy's affairs on its own. The army should stop messing around."
