Spy Wars: I signed in at the Military Police at the beginning

On the third day after the Etajima Naval Academy kidnapping incident, Emperor Showa finally learned about the "poaching" at the Etajima Naval Academy from a letter of complaint from Inoue Shigemi.

After learning Zhou Ke's true identity, Emperor Showa never expected that this traitor from the Shimazu family, whom he had placed high hopes on, would actually turn around and help the Shimazu family to deal with his cronies!

It would have been fine if he just dealt with Inoue Narumi, but the other party actually severely damaged the structure of the Etajima Naval Academy at the same time, causing the key chess piece he had openly laid out for the future of the Shimazu family to be completely destroyed!

Now Emperor Showa has developed strong doubts about Zhou Ke's purpose and motives. He believes that Zhou Ke is likely to completely side with the Shimazu family after coming to power!

"Your Majesty! General Shimazu is too reckless! This incident not only made Principal Inoue sick, but also dealt a huge blow to the Imperial Naval Academy. I request that he be given an appropriate punishment!"

When Kido Yukiichi saw that Emperor Showa seemed a little unhappy, he quickly started to fan the flames. However, he did not dare to say out loud his guess that the mastermind behind Zhou Ke's behavior might be the Shimazu family.

"Everyone, don't you have anything to say about what happened in Kagoshima the day before yesterday?" Emperor Showa couldn't help feeling disappointed as he looked at the room full of his close ministers who remained silent.

It's always like this. Once naval affairs involve the Shimazu family, everyone will tend to avoid the main issue and dare not point to the core of the problem.

Even though there were a few people in this group who came from the Army Ministry, they were still reluctant to talk about the affairs of the Shimazu family, as if they had reached some kind of tacit agreement with the Shimazu family!

"Your Majesty, this is a matter of personnel transfer within the navy. Even if you ask the cabinet to intervene in your name, it is somewhat improper!"

Seeing that Emperor Showa was looking at him, Prince Higashikuni Toshihiko, who succeeded Tojo the devil and became the prime minister ahead of time, spoke helplessly.

After his nephew became emperor, he tried every means to seize naval power from the Shimazu family, but a navy with its own independent system is not so easy to be conquered!

Especially now Zhou Ke is still a little doubtful about where he is sitting. He can't punish the other party before the matter is investigated clearly! In that case, it will only push Zhou Ke and his Tiger Division into the arms of the Navy.

"Your Majesty, what Kido-kun said is correct. I suggest that we should immediately send the Minister of the Palace to learn more about the situation and then make a fair judgment!"

Emperor Showa believed that he was related to Zhou Ke, and Matsudaira Tsuneo, who was the least likely to speak, actually spoke at this time, and the advice he gave was also unbiased!

"Everyone, please disperse. Uncle, you and Mr. Matsudaira, please stay for a while!" Emperor Showa waved his hand to send away irrelevant people and planned to hold a small meeting.

Kido Yukio looked at Matsudaira Tsuneo who was still sitting in his seat with some reluctance. He couldn't understand why the emperor kept Matsudaira Tsuneo but not him, the first person to give advice!

"Your Majesty, why don't you tell Mr. Kido the whole story?" Prince Higashikuni Toshihiko asked curiously after learning from Emperor Showa that Mr. Kido Yukichi did not know Zhou Ke's true identity.

"Although Mr. Kido is loyal and reliable, and is good at taking care of people's livelihood, he always over-implements my orders on some matters, so I don't want him to know about Matsuda Jinpei."

After Emperor Showa finished explaining, he discussed with the two royal relatives who should be sent to Kagoshima to investigate. Soon, after a brief discussion, the imperial envoy fell on Matsudaira Tsuneo's head as he expected.

Moreover, the slogan he raised when he went to Kagoshima was not to investigate the whole story, but to express his condolences to the newly formed Tiger Division of the Imperial Guard on behalf of the Emperor!

.........

"Commander! Something has happened to the Combined Fleet!" A major from the telecommunications department hurriedly came to Zhou Ke's office with a telegram.

The content of the telegram was about the Battle of Midway. This Battle of Midway was different from the great victory of the United States in history. The final result was a tragic victory for the common people!

I don’t know if it was affected by the previous Battle of the Coral Sea, but the United States fleet, which should have won with fewer troops, was almost wiped out by the addition of two aircraft carriers.

The original excellent result of one carrier for four turned into the Yorktown, Hornet and Enterprise all being sunk. In the end of the battle, only a few scattered damaged ships escaped back home in embarrassment.

Of course, since it was a bitter victory, life here was not easy. This naval battle was a case of killing one thousand enemies and losing nine hundred and ninety-nine of our own.

The aircraft carriers Hiryu, Soryu, Akagi and Kaga, which had sunk in history, still did not change their fate and all sank in the Pacific Ocean.

The Shokaku, which survived the Battle of Coral Island, and the Zuikaku aircraft carrier, which was severely damaged, survived. The victory was very difficult, but the most painful thing was the sacrifice of the naval commanders!

Many naval generals and outstanding ship commanders were seriously injured, and Chuichi Nagumo was unfortunately killed in the Battle of Midway nearly two years in advance.

"Ding-ling-ling!" As soon as the major from the telecommunications department left, the phone on Zhou Ke's office desk, which almost never rang, suddenly rang.

"Jin Ping, you should have received the news from the Combined Fleet, right?" The voice of Shimazu Chinobu came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, father, I have received it. The current situation of our navy is not optimistic!" Zhou Ke replied in a deep voice.

"The more pessimistic news is yet to come! The gambler Yamamoto Nanabichi is heading towards the United States mainland with the two reinforcement fleets I sent!" Shimazu Chinobu's tone sounded a little exasperated.

"Why would General Yamamoto Nanichihachi take such a risk? Besides, how many supplies does he have? Is it enough to fight a war to invade the enemy's homeland?" Zhou Ke asked in shock.

Just now he was wondering where Yamamoto Seven-Eight had gone. After spending a long time wondering, it turned out that Yamamoto Seven-Eight went directly to the United States to steal something!

"Haha, you underestimated that old gambler. He had prepared the supplies long in advance. Now we have to clean up his mess!"

"Now there are a large number of wounded soldiers stranded near Midway Island, and we need to send people to bring them back as soon as possible." Shimazu Chinobu explained.

"Father, there are not many ships near our Kanoya base, and even fewer ships that can sail across the ocean! Is there anything else you need my help with?"

Although Zhou Ke was very envious of those wounded soldiers who were still useful, he did not have many ships to send out to pick them up.

"Zhen Ping, you don't need to worry about the things that happen when you wipe your ass. Besides, you only need to know the things I tell you today, and don't tell anyone else!"

"I will now give you the highest management authority over the four surrounding bases, including the Kanoya base. You must stabilize these areas where the top management is seriously lacking..."

Shimazu Chinobu gave Zhou Ke a few more instructions and then hung up the phone. He also promised Zhou Ke that all the wounded soldiers from the Battle of Midway whose injuries were not too serious would be transported to Kagoshima for recuperation.
