The Regent's Office and the Administrative Building of the Japanese Ministry of National Defense, No. 15 Tenshu Street, Kyoto, Japan. In the extremely luxurious reception room, Lu Ming received Torizukawa, Yamamoto's representative for the peace talks. He was the deputy prime minister of Yamamoto's government, his brother-in-law, and the division of Yamamoto's most elite unit, the Iron Bird Division. Head of the group.
He is one of the most important figures in the Yamamoto Yu Group and represents the voice of the Kansai Legion military. Torizikawa is a dark and thin old man in his fifties, but he has a calm demeanor. It is obvious at a glance that he is a person who has been in a high position for a long time.
The talks with Ashikaga were not going well, and now the regent personally receives him. The focus of both sides is not on the balance of power of the coalition government, but on the Kyoto side's need to completely transform Yamamoto's armed forces. Like the south, each territory can continue to gain great autonomy, but the unified command of the army must be handed over to The Ministry of National Defense transformed the Kansai Army into the Central Army. The number of security brigade members in each territory was defined by the population of residents, but the security brigade in the autonomous territories could not exceed a maximum of 4,000 people.
Not handing over military command is the bottom line for Yamamoto's side today. The two sides have conducted seven rounds of consultations, but no progress has been made at all.
"Actually, Deputy Prime Minister Tozu, your real bottom line is definitely not to have the power to command the army. Yamamoto should also know that this is impossible." Lu Ming shook his head.
"Whether it's Yamamoto Yu or you, as a politician and military strategist with a clear vision, you will know that if you don't hand over your troops, this battle for reunification will definitely begin, and the Principality of Montenegro will fully support Her Majesty the Queen in completing our country's mission. Unify." After Lu Ming became the Queen Regent, he said that he was Japanese and very into the role.
As for the people of Japan, they have heard a lot of articles and speeches made by the regent in the media, and they are probably used to it. Moreover, from a legal point of view, marrying the queen is a step-in-law, and the regent is of course a Japanese.
But why did Tozugawa hear what the brother of the Prince of Montenegro called himself?
"We, the Kingdom of Japan" all feel a bit awkward. His eyelids twitched, and he could only endure the feeling of wanting to vomit.
Over there, Lu Ming continued: "Besides, Yamamoto Yu and you all know that once a war breaks out, you have no chance of winning. You originally hoped that the Sonyans would put a lot of pressure on us and waited for changes to occur, but , no matter what the disputes in the Empire Continent are, it is actually of little help to you, and now you should clearly realize this." Toriyama's face was solemn, and he did not speak. It was obviously Lu Ming's words that entered his heart.
Now, in April 958, war clouds are gathering on the continent of the Empire, and the war between the Sonians and the Grifenni is imminent.
The Principality of Montenegro is also mobilizing its troops, but it seems that it is preparing to take the opportunity to completely solve Japan's hidden dangers.
After taking a sip of tea, Lu Ming said: "After the establishment of the coalition government, bygones are bygones. There will never be words like war criminals to describe any of the main members of the northern and southern governments. Your property will be protected by law. Moreover, A real party mechanism will be introduced. You also represent a political force. You can form the Kansai Party to compete for the power to govern." Lu Ming paused and said: "Prince Montenegro will make a formal statement about these. , as a witness to the peace talks and the guarantor of the relevant contracts." Torizugawa nodded silently.
"I've said everything I want to say, so what about your other demands? Except for the right to command the army, everything else can be discussed." Lu Ming said with a smile, looking at Torizugawa's expression, he smiled again: "Of course, you also You can go back and think about it carefully, and we’ll talk about it in a few days.”
"Okay, thank you Your Highness for intervening." Toriyama bowed slightly. ...In the All Saints Palace, Prime Minister Ashikaga is reporting to the Queen the negotiation process between the north and the south on the establishment of a coalition government.
Lu Ming sat in the lower seat next to Yuezhao. Naturally, his status was shorter than that of the Queen. This kind of formality still had to go.
Moreover, Lu Ming can know the entire negotiation process very well, but the process of the Prime Minister reporting to the Queen is also indispensable.
"Yamamoto Yu wants a lot of privileges..." Prime Minister Ashikaga finally couldn't help complaining.
Yue Zhao said calmly: "Peace is the top priority in everything." At this moment, the Jinguji Soldier Princess came in hurriedly. After greeting the queen, she knelt down beside Lu Ming and whispered a few words in Lu Ming's ear. What.
Lu Ming was startled for a moment.
"Yamamoto Xiong was assassinated?" He looked at the Queen, then at Ashikaga, and said, "I'm going to confirm the authenticity of this news." The Queen and Prime Minister Ashikaga were also surprised. After listening to Lu Ming's words, the Queen nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes There was a flash of sadness.
Perhaps, the fall of Japan's political strongmen one after another made her feel quite sad. Such an important figure in the kingdom was now as humble as a piece of grass. She didn't know whether the mastermind behind the scenes was a Montenegrin person.
...On April 17, 1958, when Prime Minister Yamamoto Xiong inspected the Kansai Second Division, he was shot by a young officer and was seriously injured and sent to the hospital.
Subsequently, riots broke out in the Second Division, Third Division and Eighth Division of the Kansai Army. Ryusuke Ishii, commander of the 5th Division, was also shot.
Jiuhe Daoyi, the commander of the ninth division and the lord of Jiuhe in the Kansai region, called on the people of Japan and the Montenegrins to fight to the death.
The young people, as well as some die-hards, refused peace talks and surrender, considering it a shame.
They even believe that Her Majesty the Queen is being raped by Montenegrins day and night, which is an unprecedented national humiliation.
The Kansai Army fell into chaos. On the 20th, the Japanese Central Army entered the Kansai region. The overall riots had subsided by mid-May.
Kuga Moshiyoshi and the senior officers of the Kansai Group who planned the assassination of Yamamoto Yu, as well as hundreds of young officers, were either shot dead or committed suicide by drinking bullets.
Even thousands of soldiers from the Ninth Division jumped into the sea after running out of ammunition and food, unwilling to surrender. Yamamoto Yu has been in the intensive care unit.
The Central Army took the opportunity to reorganize the military structure of the Kansai Army, and a large number of soldiers were forcibly retired. But what followed was the birth of a man called
The purpose of the "Red Brigade" terrorist organization is to completely expel the Montenegrins from Japan. It uses assassinations and other methods to launch attacks on the Montenegrins and Japanese bureaucrats close to the Principality of Montenegro.
That’s a story for another day. In any case, in Lu Ming's view, Japan has generally entered the track he hoped for.
From now on, I will come here just to walk around, do some research and relax, and I won’t have the same pressure as before.
Of course, how to guide Japanese people to get closer to Zhongzhou is a complex and long-term systematic project. It is not even something that can be done by the government alone. Enterprise models, industrial products, entertainment methods and even food, etc., are the subtle export of Chinese culture. the main force.
As for himself, the regent, of course he also has to play a big role. When Yamamoto Xiong could barely walk on the ground, Lu Ming went to see him. The two of them were speechless. They exchanged a few polite words and then stopped talking about it.
Lu Ming even had some doubts about whether Yamamoto Yu did it on purpose or because he didn’t want to become an extremely humiliating figure in history. However, if he refused to unify, there would be no hope at all. Therefore, he adopted such an approach, as if he had no choice but to accept the established decision. fact.
