Chapter 952: The Prime Minister's Defense Was Broken by Two Questions
Who could it be?
Everyone fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a while, Sakatan Seishirō said, "Could it be Yamashiro who did this?"
Seeing several people looking at him, he said with a look that seemed to be looking at him as if he were a fool, "They have a history of doing this. Don't forget, they have done this in the past. Asaka-kun should understand this best."
idiot.
If you want to talk about something, just talk about it. Why bring me up? Don't you think I'm shameless enough?"
"Back in the Xuzhou battlefield, you consumed so many of their troops, yet they didn't come looking for you to do anything."
It's just harming others, I can't let you be the only one to take advantage of it.
The corner of Sakatan Seishirō's mouth twitched. Back then, his entire division had been blocked by the Gui army in the eastern part of Xuzhou, preventing them from reinforcing the 14th Division and causing them heavy losses. This was, in fact, the biggest failure of his military career.
"Alright, alright." Seeing that the two men were about to quarrel, the Prime Minister hurried to stop them. Otherwise, today's meeting might deviate from the topic of discussing enemies and solutions to a matter of mutual embarrassment.
He coughed and said, "It shouldn't be Shancheng. There's no reason for Shancheng to do that. They can't just attack us because we launched a full-scale attack on them. You have to know that the enemy knows you best. They know exactly what you can and can't do."
Ok……
I thought it would take me some time to push the mountain city out, but I didn't expect the Prime Minister to say it himself. It was just right, which saved me time.
Ueda Kanekichi, who has been transferred back to Japan, echoed the Prime Minister's thoughts. "The Prime Minister is right. This is something they shouldn't have done. If they were going to do it, they wouldn't have waited until now. They would have done it more than a year ago."
What happened more than a year ago? Everyone present knew. Several people's eyes fell on Chaoxiang's face.
"Why are you looking at me? There's nothing wrong with the orders I gave. The ones who made the mistake were Matsui Iwane, Tani Hisao, and the others. They made the wrong choice. What does this have to do with me?"
Asaka said this indignantly. He didn't know how many times he had to explain this matter. It had nothing to do with him, nothing to do with him.
Also, it wasn't that they didn't want to retaliate at that time, but they simply didn't have the time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sacrificed his daughter.
"Okay, let's not talk about what happened in the past." The Prime Minister rubbed his temples in distress. These people were not as worry-free as the navy. They just fought among themselves all day long. No one knew where they got so much energy and spirit from. If these people could focus more on the empire, how could the empire be in this state.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He coughed and asked, "Who could be so despicable?"
Chaoxiang crossed her arms and thought for a moment. "I think it was those guys in London who did it. They're taking revenge on me."
The Foreign Minister said, "But what does this have to do with us? We didn't do this at all."
"Then how do you, the army, explain where the enemy's mortar gas bombs came from?" Isoroku Yamamoto, who had been promoted to commander of the Combined Fleet and Vice Minister of the Navy, finally got the chance to speak.
With just one sentence, everyone present was speechless.
The enemy used poison gas bombs in the operation, and the empire produced a batch of mortar gas bombs for the purpose of using them as assault forces in the mountain city battlefield. Intelligence personnel from various countries must have reported this matter.
However, these shells were not used on the battlefield because a batch of poison gas bombs were snatched from the mountain city, and some people in the empire were incompetent and betrayed the empire, acting as the other side's running dogs. The empire no longer dared to do so.
"I suggest that the 4th Division be disbanded." Sakatan Seishirō gritted his teeth and pounded the coffee table in front of him.
His intuition told him that this must have been done by the people from the 4th Division. They sold everything to do business. Needless to say, these things were most likely sold to Shancheng, and then Shancheng used them to rob.
How calculating and impatient!
My father robbed me of my money, but I have to bear the blame for it.
And... and you don't even have the chance to monitor. Because from the perspective of Fog City, there's no need for Shancheng to seize these things. Even if they did, they would definitely not cause trouble for Shancheng. Right now, they need Shancheng's support to tie down their forces.
"Shut up," Asaka said, rolling her eyes. "If it were any other division, you could disband it, but that's one of the regular divisions established by the late Emperor. What's the matter? Do you look down on the people in Osaka or something? Aren't you worried they'll hire assassins to take you out?"
In the imperial cabinet, someone once proposed to do something about the Osaka Division, but soon something went wrong.
Sakatan Seishirō held his breath.
Yamamoto Isoroku coughed and was about to say something sarcastic.
The Prime Minister looked at him fiercely.
At this point, can you please stop making things more complicated? If you say a few more words, this will probably escalate into a fight between the navy and the army.
The headquarters has already made the decision to move south, which has already satisfied your navy. Sometimes you should hold back. If you really piss off the army, they will stop attacking and they will have plenty of ways to deal with you.
Isoroku Yamamoto stopped talking, but his dissatisfied eyes still swept across the group of people.
"There's still no evidence to prove they were responsible. The Internal Affairs and Military Police must urgently address this matter." The Prime Minister gave his final word, then thought for a moment and looked at everyone present. "Do you have anything to say?"
Yamamoto Isoroku chuckled at the side. "Shouldn't you consider how to ease the emotions of the people back home?"
It was hyped too much, turning it into a soul-like existence. When it was integrated into this soul, suddenly such a big hole appeared. If someone with ulterior motives took advantage of it, I'm afraid something bad would happen.
The Prime Minister had a headache, and seeing that no one was talking, Asaka thought for a moment and said, "The military needs an explanation too."
Dying on the battlefield is not scary. The empire has always been promoting that they will become His Majesty's mysterious guards or something like that. But now, this place is gone, blown up by someone. If the soldiers fighting in the front knew about this, who knows what would happen.
"Baga." The Prime Minister's elegance was directly broken under the combined pressure of the two problems.
