Chapter 541: Eastern Chaos, chariots out(1/2)

Yang Ziren took office the next day, and his first job was to go to the disaster area to inspect the sowing and distribution of disaster grains. By the way, he needed to put forward suggestions and suggestions for improvements. These things were almost easy for Yang Ziren.

It was almost January, and Japan suddenly announced that it would hold a year-end military exercise. This made Tu Qianjun in Manchuria very vigilant, and he ordered all troops on the front line of the Yalu River to be more vigilant!

You must know that the Japanese often use the name of "exercises" to launch wars! Therefore, vigilance is necessary.

But Tu Qianjun didn't know that this army exercise was really not for him. It was for the current Prime Minister Saito Minoru! After the army learned of Toyama Hidezo's plan, they chose to cooperate without hesitation.

They first announced that they would hold this exercise, and then transferred the pass to Toyama Hidezo through some connections. Although the Army cannot personally kill Saito Minoru, if someone is willing to do it, then the Army is naturally optimistic about the success.

!

In order to keep Japan's economy going, the white-haired Saito Minoru never imagined that he would face another assassination!

In Tokyo, Japan, a manor on the outskirts looks particularly quiet amidst the falling white snow. This is a very typical Japanese manor, but the plaque outside the door is inscribed with two words in regular script - "Tao'an"

!

Everyone in the Japanese political arena knows that Taoan is the official name of Saionji Temple. And here is a suburban manor belonging to the Saionji family. In the manor, an old man with a white face and no beard lowered his eyes and looked sleepy.

He was leaning on the soft sleeper behind the tatami screen.

In front of the screen, a man in his thirties wearing a kimono was kneeling respectfully.

"Mitsui, are you sure about this..." After a long time, the old man behind the screen said slowly to the man in front of the screen in a hoarse voice.

Hearing this, the man lowered his body and replied respectfully: "I guarantee with my life that this matter is absolutely correct! I don't dare to deceive..."

The old man behind the screen stood up slowly at this moment, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes! After a long time, he said slowly: "Inform Prime Minister Saito and the Navy Ministry of this matter!"

"Some people have done more than their duty. This kind of behavior should be stopped and punished no matter what. If everyone acts randomly, won't the country be destroyed?!"

"Hai!" The man who was lying down shouted loudly. The old man who had just stood up seemed a little weak. He sat down again. He said slowly to the man in front of the screen: "You go down! I'm tired...

…”

The man did not dare to be negligent. He responded and slowly exited the room. After leaving the room, he slowly and respectfully closed the door. The old man slowly leaned on the soft cushion. His cloudy eyes slowly opened.

Close it. But I don't know if I'm really asleep or if I'm dozing off.

More than an hour later, this man appeared at Saito Minoru's home. After listening to this man's words, Saito Minoru's face turned pale! After being silent for a while, he said to the man in a deep voice: "Thank you, sir, for me.

I will take care of this matter! Please be assured, sir!"

"Then, I will take my leave!" The man bowed solemnly to Saito Minoru and said in a deep voice: "I hope that the Prime Minister will be careful!"

After that, the man bowed deeply, stood up, and quietly retreated.

Saito pondered for a long time in this room, then walked to his study, picked up a phone in a hidden place and dialed a number. After a while, the phone was picked up.

"I am Saito. Mr. Saionji sent someone to inform me that someone seems to be trying to harm me." Saito Minoru said solemnly into the phone: "Let me inform my colleagues, I don't want our current situation to be destroyed! Those who are trying to

Vandals need to be punished!"

After that, Saito Minoru paused and said in a deep voice: "Pay attention to controlling the situation and not causing conflicts with the Ministry of War. I don't want to cause bigger things. Just clean up these people secretly..."

After finishing, Saito Minoru slowly hung up the phone.

At this time, Toyama Hidezo did not know that his plan had been leaked, and he was carefully preparing for this assassination!

He prepared three assistants and four bombs for Kodama Kodama! These bombs were provided through officials of the Ministry of War, and they have now been handed over to Kodama Kodama.

Hidezo Hideyama prepared two pistols for Kodama Yushio to ensure that the assassination could be completed.

In a small hotel somewhere in Tokyo, Kodama Yushio was playing with the gun in his hand, and his heart gradually became cold. He could see that in fact Toyama Hidezo had not considered his safety at all!

Four bombs, and two guns! Can you escape unscathed with these?! The best outcome is just to be shot to death?! Kodama Yushio sneered in his heart, what a mountain... I will follow

You have never thought that you are so cold-hearted in all these years!

Since you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust!

At the end of December, the army's major exercise finally began! Countless soldiers were waiting for the arrival of Minoru Saito as the first choice at the exercise ground. At this time, Kodama Yushio also took his pass, bombs and pistols and went out.

But as soon as he stepped out of his room, he was grabbed by several men and pushed against the wall!

"You'd better not move, otherwise we have the right to shoot you to death!" Of course Kodama Yushio would not move. He honestly allowed these people to take away the bombs and pistols on his body.

Then, it looked like they were arm-in-arm, but they were escorted out of the hotel under surveillance.

But the two assistants assigned to Kodama Yushio were not so lucky. Their joints were broken, they were dragged out of the hotel and thrown into the Navy Ministry's car!

Fifteen minutes later, Saito received a phone call in his office. When the phone call ended, he smiled and left the office with his secretary.

Half an hour later, Saito Minoru appeared at the training ground.

Everyone is waiting for him, although some people have dissatisfaction on their faces. But more people are gloating about his misfortune. They have received some rumors and are looking forward to the bloody death of the prime minister who was born in the navy.

scene!

Unfortunately, things did not progress as they imagined. Saito Minoru finished his speech calmly, and no one attacked him at the scene! This made Araki Sadao and the others' hearts gradually sink...

But since it was said to be an exercise, we had no choice but to carry on! The exercise was sloppy and chaotic. Although some uninformed officers at the grassroots level had made some preparations, the officers whose superiors knew about it did not.

Exercise plan!

Fortunately, some of these officers had some actual combat experience, so they reluctantly completed the exercise. However, the entire Army Ministry officials had extremely ugly faces, but they were hard-pressed to say anything.

The exercise was hurriedly ended, and the minister of the Ministry of War announced the end of the exercise after saying a few random words.

Subsequently, under the leadership of the Navy Ministry, a large number of Black Dragon Club members were arrested! The police were roaming around, and all the properties under the Black Dragon Club were under surveillance and interrogation. Toyama Mitsuru's son Toyama Hidezo was secretly arrested

.

But all this finally relaxed after Saito Minoru received a phone call from Toyama Mitsuru. Only Kodama Yushio was sentenced to three years in prison for "assaulting a police officer".

But then a bigger storm was brewing! In early January, major newspapers in Japan simultaneously published an article "There was corruption in the stock trading of Imperial Artificial Silk!" For a time, the public opinion was in an uproar!

Some pointed the finger at Minoru Saito's cabinet! This became the last straw that crushed Minoru Saito. Originally, the cabinet of Minoru Saito, which had been questioned because of the "Praise Theory of Ashikaga Takauji" and the "Mingtang Incident", ended up being...

The total resignation ended.

In the small courtyard where "Taoan" was written, Minoru Saito, neatly dressed in kimono, was kneeling in front of the screen. The old man behind the screen still looked sleepy.

"Saito... what are you going to do now..." After a long time, the old man spoke slowly. There was a trace of age in his hoarse voice. Saito Minoru, who was kneeling in front of the screen, looked deeply towards

The screen bowed.

"Saito is so ashamed of cultivating this old gentleman! I am so ashamed..." The old man behind the screen slowly sat up and said to the screen, "I don't blame you. In fact, it is embarrassing for you to work so hard..."

After that, the old man paused and said in a deep voice: "Those horse dung people from the Army Ministry. I know their thoughts very well! But this will lead the empire to destruction! This is absolutely not allowed. You have left now. So who

To take your place?!"

Saito Minoru straightened up slowly and said in a deep voice to the screen: "I had anticipated this situation before, so I made an agreement with Toyama Mitsuru. He will support Okada-kun as my successor...

"

The old man behind the screen slowly lay down after hearing this, and said with a satisfied voice: "Okada Keisuke?! Hmm... This is a good candidate, at least better than those Army horse dung..."

Saito Minoru released Hidezo Toyama and gave Kodama a light sentence. However, Mitsuru Toyama's requirement was that Mitsuru Toyama must support his nominee if there was a fall.

The Army now even uses assassinations. This shows that they desperately want to overthrow themselves! Therefore, Saito Minoru planned a retreat for possible crises.

Okada Keisuke was his chosen candidate. In terms of qualifications, this Japanese naval admiral. After graduating from the Naval University, he participated in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and was also the Navy Minister of the cabinet. However, in May, due to

I retired when I reached the age.

Therefore, no matter from any aspect, the Army Ministry cannot find any fault.

"Tomorrow I will propose to the Emperor that we should do our best in the future..." After a moment of silence, the old man behind the screen said hoarsely to Saito Minoru. Saito Minoru in front of the screen kowtowed slowly and then exited the room.

.

On December 26, 1932, the Saito Minoru cabinet announced the resignation of the general secretary. On that day, Saionji Konobo entered the palace and recommended former Navy Minister Okada Keisuke to Emperor Showa as the new prime minister.

The Emperor agreed, and then announced Okada Keisuke as the new Prime Minister of Japan! After Okada Keisuke took office, Emperor Showa announced that Saito Minoru would be re-appointed as Minister of Internal Affairs!

For a moment, the entire Army was angry! But then Mitsuru Toyama came out. He supported Saito Minoru's decision. After receiving the news, the Army Ministry could only remain silent.

"Ping pong~" There was a crisp sound! A ferocious-looking man roared in his room: "Red deer!! Saionji, you old immortal! The worm of the empire! Do you want to tie the hands and feet of the empire?! Do you want to?"

Tie the hands and feet of our military?! Don’t be delusional! I won’t let you succeed!!”

The man was cursing, and in front of him were several senior military officials kneeling. They knelt down in silence, waiting for the man to vent his anger!

After a while, the man finally finished cursing, then turned around and said in a deep voice to several soldiers who were leaning down: "I agree with your plan! But Xiyuanji cannot die, and you can take care of the rest! The empire must

Get back on track, we can't let those liberals destroy the empire!"

"Hai!!" These kneeling soldiers roared loudly and excitedly: "We will definitely live up to your trust!!"

At this time, Saionji watched with satisfaction as the Army Ministry's wishful thinking was shattered by him, but he did not know that the angry Army soldiers once again used the method of "subjugating the superior". It was also the method they were best at - assassination!

Subsequently, the main leaders of the "Imperial Road Sect" in the Japanese Army, Sadao Araki, Jinzaburo Masaki, and Toshishiro Obata, etc. quietly gathered. And in the seemingly peaceful Tokyo, an undercurrent was slowly flowing.

Tu Qianjun, who was in Manchuria, didn't care about this now. After learning that Kodama was sentenced, he probably guessed what happened in Japan. Since Japan didn't want to attack Manchuria, Tu Qianjun didn't care how many times their prime minister was assassinated.

return.

Anyway, the level of chaos in Japan is unimaginable for ordinary people, especially politics. Frequent cabinet reversals and replacements of prime ministers have become the norm. There have even been crazy rotations in later generations.

He is currently inspecting the armored force training in Outer Mongolia. After several months of development, the new diesel engine has been completed! The power of this engine has reached 500 horsepower. After being installed on the already designed tank, it was secretly

It was transported to an experimental site in Mongolia for testing.
