How did I become a villain

The corncob pipe-smoking man said disdainfully: "Oh, I'm a general in the first place, so I don't need them to admit it. Besides, I'm now controlling the power of this country, and the emperor is behind the scenes. What difference does it make if I'm a general who conquers barbarians?"

"That's different," Griffin said. "General Zhengyi can be hereditary. In other words, your descendants can inherit your general position."

MacArthur raised his eyebrows. "forever?"

The girl nodded. "Until it is overthrown."

"It's like the Tokugawa shogunate." Kennedy couldn't help but interjected. "The emperor may come to power again, or he may not."

An American with little knowledge of Japanese history was able to cite this example in a short time, and it seems that this time was not wasted.

These words dissipated MacArthur's thoughts that had just arisen.

"So our descendants may have to fight another war with the Japanese?" MacArthur shook his head again and again. "I love war, but I don't want to leave it to our descendants."

Griffin was a little surprised that this old man would actually say such words with humanistic care.

"We are a democracy," he continued. "That's what I replied to them."

The Japanese are really in a hurry to go to the doctor, and they can come up with such a ridiculous method.Letting MacArthur accept the emperor's canonization as a general who conquers barbarians, doesn't it mean that he is a head shorter than the emperor?The mascot who lived in Miyagi actually wanted to use this method to change positions without a single soldier, and continue to maintain the current power. Does he think he still has the right to bargain?

Griffin wanted to know even more, which ghost came up with such a method?I want to thank him for contributing today's jokes.

Usually, when everyone was happy, they really didn't notice it. Sure enough, the meekness they showed before was because they didn't touch their bottom line.The clumsy performance of the Japanese not only made MacArthur realize that they would do everything in order not to lose their power, but also strengthened Griffin's determination to completely kill them.

Japan does not want to give up militarism, nor does it want the emperor to completely lose the possibility of a comeback.They are willing to pay any price for it.

In addition to trying to win over MacArthur, Japan also tried to use diplomatic means to seek international help.They hoped that the Western powers would intervene.But the idea is good, it's just that times are different.

The United Kingdom first said that my brother and I have known each other for many years. At the beginning, you came to me in a poor way, saying that everyone is an island country, and you said that there is an island in the west and an island in the east. The two islands work together to look forward. Nothing is difficult.I believed in you and gave you great support and encouragement.I invest for you, build warships for you, build your joint fleet, and escort your expansion in the East.We joined forces to block the future of Imperial Russia, and we were even allies who watched and helped each other during World War I.You even sent a fleet for me, and after the war I supported you in taking over the German islands in the Pacific.At that time, we had me in you and you in me, what a happy day that was.

During World War II, you used my tolerance for you to expand and ignite the flames of war. I tried to persuade you to be kind, but your wings were hardened. Not only did you withdraw from our covenant, but you also launched an invasion on the jewel of my crown, and even sunk my eldest brother.You ran wild in Asia, searched for wealth, and finally defeated Midway Island and surrendered to Tokyo Bay.After the defeat, you turned around and abandoned your former British father and accepted the United States as your father.I don't say anything about these things. After all, Yingmei is a father and son. You don't want to be my son, but I still recognize you as a grandson.

After the war, you began to live under the protection of the United States. You earned American money and had the United States to protect you. Not only did you not need my help, you never even greeted me during the holidays.I have even forgotten when was the last time I visited your country on a warship.It doesn't matter, as long as I don't have your son, the past love will be wiped out.But now you come to me for help, asking me to uphold justice for you, but your words are full of disrespect for me, and you even call me brother in the help letter.

What on earth did I do to make you disrespect me so much that you don't even want to call grandpa.

That being the case, I really can't control this matter. This is a conflict between you and your father, and you father and son can handle it by yourself.

If you really can't handle it, you can also learn from your old predecessors. Our royal family of the British Empire has been very decentralized since the time we became the Protector. We eat, drink, have fun every day, and occasionally show our faces in front of the public.Our Windsor royal family has now won the support of the majority of the people by virtue of its positive image of advancing and retreating with the people during the war, and it is very nourishing.As a junior, your Japanese imperial family can also follow our example and completely decentralize power. Anyway, it is still a symbol of this country and its people.

However, Japan said that it is impossible to decentralize power. The emperor’s authority has already been released. If even the right to worship is deprived, who will take the emperor seriously in the future?

France does not want to be a mediator between the United States and Japan. The post-war European situation is very unfavorable to France. Britain and the United States are colluding, Spain has been neutral for thousands of years, and France is unwilling to become a follower of the United States. This is not in the interests of its own country.The traditional big continental European countries have their own ideas. Not only are they unwilling to mediate, they even sent representatives to visit the United States, secretly saying that this is a family matter between your father and son, and as neighbors, it is inconvenient for us to intervene.

In case you reconcile one day, you will still think I am troublesome-it is hard to say that it is not because Japan occupied French Indochina when France was weak during the war and hated France.

If you have to say it, Japan has not less engaged in wars with the United Kingdom.During the southward march, they fought each other successively in South Asia, India, Myanmar and other places.

As for the Soviet Union... Hirohito's mind is still relatively clear. In his eyes, the Soviet Union has already cut off the four northern islands, so he asked him for help?Is this because you think you didn't die fast enough?Even if the Soviet Union and the United States had ideological conflicts and thought about using Japan to do things for the United States, it was impossible to mediate when the relationship between the two sides had eased.

Volume 174.8: [-] Meeting with the Emperor

What's more, in the eyes of the Soviet Union, for a small diplomatic incident in the eyes of others, it will rise to the point of asking Western powers to intervene in mediation. How unconfident are you Japanese?Thinking about some conspiracy theories in my heart, who knows if this is a fishing act deliberately staged by you, the American and Japanese father and son to show us?Do you think I'll fall for such a straight hook?Who do you look down on!

Isn't it normal for father and son to quarrel?I'm going to persuade you to make peace now. If you both say I'm wrong after reconciling, then I'm not a human being?

The dark clouds hanging over Japan are getting denser, and the oppressive atmosphere is getting thicker.The arrival of summer can't dispel these hazes, but accompanied by rumbling thunder, a new round of battles sounded the horn.

Faced with the ambiguous attitude of the US representative and the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan and the increasingly severe situation, Emperor Hirohito finally couldn't sit still.In the face of multiple crises such as the lack of support from the Western powers and the reply from the United States, he decided to mediate in person.

The meeting place was set at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

With a feeling of uneasiness, Hirohito, accompanied by Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida and others, welcomed the US representatives.

MacArthur appeared carelessly in the familiar front yard of the Imperial Palace, just like returning to his own home.Hirohito's eyes twitched uncontrollably when he saw the actual person in power in Japan.A human declaration and a group photo led by this American stripped away the sacred cloak of the emperor as a god created by his grandfather, Emperor Meiji, and made those Japanese citizens who once feared and worshiped him no longer reverence.

He stole his faith, and now he has to trample on his dignity again and again.Every time he met this American, Hirohito couldn't restrain his nervousness, for fear that the other party would do something outrageous in the next second.

It is really... an insult to the majesty of the royal family.

But he still had to pretend to be magnanimous on the surface, facing MacArthur and others who had an audience with him, and put on airs as the lord of a country.

"That's Hirohito?" Griffin stood behind Kennedy, looking at the middle-aged man sitting under the golden screen, who maintained a regular sitting posture, with thick eyebrows, small eyes and big lips.Couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "He doesn't look like an emperor at all."

On the contrary, it looks like an examinee waiting for the teacher to hand out the paper.

Timid, cringe, not confident.Ordinary to the extreme, without the characteristics that an emperor should have.

Even if he behaved so meekly at this time, don't forget that during the war, this seemingly simple and honest man participated in the whole process of aggression against China and other Asian countries. There is his shadow.As the head of a country, he never considered stopping the war, but let it go.With Japan's wonderful political system and emperor system, the emperor will always exist no matter whether the war is won or lost, and the soldiers will not abolish the emperor because of the stability of their own regime.Even if they were victorious, what the Emperor lost was centralization, and it was precisely because he was not in danger of extermination that he behaved so obediently.

After the war ended, the number one war criminal who should have been hanged escaped the trial and is still sitting here as the spiritual leader of the Japanese.

At one point, she even wanted to kill this top three war criminal herself, but reason persuaded her.

With the original space stone, she can indeed rely on her own power to get and ask for anything in this world, but she will not break this exception.

Even if she really wanted to settle the score with Hirohito, she would not do it herself.

The left and right sides of the room were accompanied by important ministers from the Japanese cabinet. All of them were dressed in suits and dressed up like gentlemen. They sat very quietly in their seats. The only movement was the footsteps of the US representatives when they came in.

It was also the first time for Kennedy to see a living Japanese emperor, so he couldn't help but take a second look.Thanks to MacArthur for dragging the emperor off the altar, he was able to cross the imperial curtain that should have blocked his sight and meet the eyes of this ordinary middle-aged man.

Indeed, it does not look like the master.

There is too much gap with the imagined monarch of a country, even the American Emperor Norton I has a higher charm than him.

In his heart he agreed with the girl beside him, but on the surface he walked to his seat calmly and sat down.

Griffin, who followed closely, attracted the attention of many people, and they were stunned.This is the guardian of the Rubik's Cube, right?Sure enough, she was a young and beautiful girl just like on TV.

She is really lucky to be favored by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

Many people will be attracted by her appearance when they see Griffin at first sight, and it is true.With such a good skin, she is the focus wherever she goes.Even if she doesn't make so many big news, she can still attract others' attention.

Seeing that everyone was present, Shigeru Yoshida began to speak on behalf of the emperor at the behest of the emperor.

Even if MacArthur stripped off the emperor's cloak, the Japanese would still regard the emperor as the highest religious and political leader on formal occasions.But the ridiculous thing is, since you take the emperor so seriously, why didn't you listen when the emperor asked you not to expand the war and make enemies everywhere?

The pipe-smoking man spent so much time trying to get rid of the emperor's divinity, but in the end he felt lonely.As soon as he was gone, those thoughts revived.

Now that I am here, whether I can burn these buds up to the root depends on whether my fire is strong enough.

Although everything is going well so far, Griffin knows in his heart that the incident has not really threatened this group of militaristic royalists.If they use public opinion to exert pressure, MacArthur will most likely choose to back down.

That's what he did last time.

The Japanese nationals can promote him to the altar of Japan's little father because of the five reforms, but naturally they can also make him fall into the quagmire because of the inducement of Japanese politicians.

She doesn't care about MacArthur's political career and future. She can ask "why don't you make a burp apology" face-to-face? Although it is very satisfying, it also implies that this man's political sensitivity is lower than his military ability. .

Even if the pipe-smoking man finally becomes the target of the front row fire, he must complete his historical mission as a shield before losing power.

As for Kennedy's future use, his political life cannot be wasted here.

Seeing that the talks gradually moved closer to the Japanese side under the leadership of Shigeru Yoshida, Griffin decided to interrupt the opponent's spellcasting first.

"Japan is a country with a long history, so there must be a refreshing cultural heritage in this land, right?" Her clear and curious voice quickly made her the focus of the field. "The beginning of any civilization is a myth, which is the process of each nation from ignorance to enlightenment. Then... how are the myths about the birth of Japan described?"

The voices in the conference room suddenly quieted down, and the scales that were gradually tilting towards the Japanese side also stopped.

Volume 174.9: [-] Why is he sitting there?

MacArthur noticed something, but he chose to remain silent.

Kennedy turned his head and glanced at the girl beside him.It's not clear what she wants to do at the moment, but it always feels like something fun is about to happen.

Does this have something to do with the content of our meeting?

Shigeru Yoshida glanced at himself, looking like a curious girl, he turned around and asked Hirohito who was sitting under the screen.

On an important occasion, any speech by anyone cannot be understood as just ordinary words.So what was the meaning of her sudden words?

He couldn't figure it out for the time being, but it didn't feel good.

Soon the reply from the Emperor came through Heyin.

"Since the foreign envoy wants to understand Japanese mythology, Prime Minister Yoshida, please tell me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shigeru Yoshida thought for a moment and began to describe it in concise language.

In normal times, he is really not interested in talking about things that have nothing to do with politics in formal occasions. It is too late to talk about serious things. It feels incongruous to ask the prime minister of a country to popularize science myths and stories in person.But who made the girl who asked the question the guardian of the Rubik's Cube?She has the capital to be willful, but everyone around her has to smile. No matter what request she makes, the Japanese side has to take it seriously.To put it simply and bluntly, as long as you can make her happy, why worry about Japan's industry not being supported by unlimited energy?

The conference room where an important meeting was held suddenly changed to a fairy tale meeting. This seems somewhat absurd, but all Japanese people take it for granted.And Shigeru Yoshida is worthy of being a scholar figure who had a profound influence on post-war Japan. In just a few hundred words, he described Japanese mythology in a simple way, which is deeply memorable.

Fortunately, the girl soon got tired of listening to it. When Shigeru Yoshida was about to drink water to continue talking, she raised her hand to signal that it was enough.

"Izanami died of burns because of giving birth to the god of fire. Her husband, Izanaki, went to hell because he missed his dead wife. He wanted to bring his wife back, but he was scared away by the image of his wife; Amaterasu was too spoiled. The fate of the younger brother Susanoo caused younger brother H to do something wrong, and he hid in the cave because of self-blame. Such behavior not only failed to solve the problem, but also aggravated the chaos. That is to say, when making any choice, it is doomed In order to bear the backlash brought about by the choice. In other words, there is a price to be paid for doing anything.”

"Yes, the original intention of the myth is to teach people to be kind." Yoshida Shigeru had a chrysanthemum-like smile on his face.He nodded repeatedly at the girl's understanding. "Later generations should also follow the teachings of their ancestors and choose to be kind to others."

"Human nature is inherently good, this should be the universal value of this world, but..."

Hearing this, Shigeru Yoshida's smile couldn't help but stop.A feeling of uneasiness gradually rises deep in my heart.

Why do I feel like I have fallen for this girl?

The blond girl sighed and said: "I understand this truth, why don't adults understand it? The role Japan played during the war is not in touch with the kindness you advertised. Amaterasu preached to the world His benevolence, but as His people have not learned a single bit, do you really respect Him from the bottom of your heart?"

Such a straightforward statement made the scene very embarrassing for a time.

All the people here are human beings, how can they not understand what she wants to express?

This is using their Japanese myths to scold them Japanese!But isn’t your Lord also holding the Bible in his left hand and the sword in his right, while shouting “Whoever believes in me will have eternal life, and if you don’t believe in me, I will send you to hell”, while slashing at the deeds of heretics?

But... everyone is old bacon in the officialdom, no matter how ugly they are, they don't have the ability to do it themselves, how can they come out and mess around?So after experiencing the initial brief embarrassment, they recovered.

No matter what you say next, we will all be a student being scolded, going in one ear and exiting the other, pretending we didn't hear it.

Others can pretend they didn't hear, but Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida, who first communicated with her, can't pretend nothing happened.He didn't even have time to drink the water at hand, and quickly said: "You can't say that, Lord Guardian. The war is indeed cruel, but Japan also paid a painful price. Although we don't want to admit it, the original purpose of our war was In order to achieve permanent peace and stability in the Asian region, if no one leads these backward regions, they can only stay in the age of ignorance and ignorance forever. Unfortunately, we still failed in the end and paid more than 200 million Japanese casualties This also made us deeply aware that in the face of war, we Japanese are victims just like other nationals.”

Kennedy's eyes gradually widened following Shigeru Yoshida's ups and downs. He never thought that a politician could turn black and white like this.How did the old man cultivate his cultivation without blushing or panting when he said such words?If their identities were reversed, it would be embarrassing for Kennedy to say this with his simple and straightforward character.

"War brings only killing and destruction to the world. I have never heard that war can also promote peace and stability. Even if there is, it is after one country sweeps another country's ground. After all, the enemy is dead, right For the victorious country, peace and stability will naturally be achieved.”

As the perpetrator who launched the war, where does he have the nerve to say that he is a victim?Telling right and wrong and turning black and white to such an extent, you have thought about admitting your mistakes at all, right?

It doesn't matter, Miss Ben likes fighting injustices the most, since you guys don't want to admit it, then don't blame me for being rude.

The girl listened to his words with a smile on her face, and while she was still rational, she stood up, glanced at the people present, and said slowly under the gradually shocked eyes of the crowd: "When the Second Empire fails When Tsarist Russia was overthrown by the Bolsheviks, their imperial family died; when the Qing Dynasty fell, their emperor was used as a pawn. And the Japanese emperor..." Griffin pointed to his fingertips Hirohito, who was sitting at the top, was extremely rude in his words and expressions. "After committing such a serious crime against humanity, how can you still sit there?"

"Originally, I planned to cooperate with Japan on new energy, but now I suddenly discovered that there seem to be quite serious differences between us, ranging from three views to ideology." She ignored everyone's gaze and stared straight at Yu Renxia's expression changed from dull to Hirohito who was suppressing intense emotions and trembling slightly. "I gave you a chance, but you gave it up."

After all, she looked at MacArthur. "If Unlimited Energy wants to cooperate with such a group of shameless people, and even benefit from it, I think I should reconsider my investment plan in Japan."

Volume 175.1: [-] Negotiation Failure

MacArthur was expressionless and half lowered his head, seemingly pondering, but he was very complacent in his heart, wishing to clap his hands and applaud.He has long wanted to deal with this group of conservatives and royalists. It is the existence of this group of people that his reforms to Japan are only superficial. Now Griffin has sent himself a wave of assists. If there were no Japanese present , maybe on the spot, Longyan was delighted, the imperial pen approved the red, and wrote the word "quasi".

The pipe-smoking man was so happy, he didn't care about the crazy hints from the Japanese.

Good guy!

All the Japanese present were taken aback by her outburst, and Yoshida Shigeru himself was even more shocked and angry, knowing that the fairy tale that lured the other party to say such rebellious remarks came from his own mouth.If this matter really went to the worst point, it would be difficult for him to apologize.

Although this was all carried out under the emperor's behest... But, as the emperor, what is wrong?If there is a mistake, it is also a disadvantage for the subordinates.

Shigeru Yoshida thought that this foreign girl was only interested in Japanese myths and stories. He didn’t expect that the other party was not polite at all. He started killing teachers as soon as he learned the skills. The old man had a heart attack.

He is like a kind old grandpa, but this girl is a naughty brat.

"Your Excellency, don't go too far!" After experiencing the initial shock, someone finally stood up and shouted angrily. "Even if you are the guardian of the Rubik's Cube, it doesn't mean you can interfere in the internal affairs of other countries without authorization! I protested to the United States. This is not a topic that should be discussed in Japan's reconstruction."

If it was a general question, they wouldn't be so excited.It was Griffin's attitude that deeply stimulated the sensitive hearts of these people.

It's not that they don't know what they did during the war, they know the whole story better than their descendants.But precisely because it was too clear, it was impossible to speak out, let alone let the truth pass on.Since these things cannot be said casually, it can only be assumed that they have never happened. Even if citizens have the right to know, it is impossible for the government to tell them the truth.Because these contents are enough to completely subvert the whole country, no matter whether it is the emperor, bureaucrats, or ordinary people, no one will be spared by then!

Japan's illegality during the war must not be made public. This is a matter that both sides have agreed to each other. Uncover it for everyone to see, and there is an attitude of pressing our heads to force people to admit their mistakes.Is this what a neutral Rubik's Cube guardian should do?

As an outsider, you care too much!

What's more, as a German, your motherland also brought death and suffering to neighboring countries during the war. Everyone is unclean, so why hold us tight?

Kennedy, who was entrusted by Howard to take care of Griffin, saw her being bullied. At this time, he also sneered: "The issue of Japan's reconstruction? Isn't what we are discussing now the fact that your country's representative ignores the personal beliefs of our diplomatic ambassador and forcibly preaches? You are neither willing to apologize nor to give an explanation. Isn’t this a typical symptom of your cognitive deviation? I don’t even know that Japan, far away in the Pacific Ocean, their national ideology is still at the level of medieval pagans .Forcing others to believe in religion, this is only possible in ignorant and backward areas!"

As he spoke, he also looked at MacArthur, who was sitting silently by the side, and said righteously: "If the general cannot give me a satisfactory answer, I will directly protest to the White House. The United States advocates freedom, but there is no limit freedom. The behavior of the Japanese has seriously damaged the feelings of the American people! This is your dereliction of duty, General!"

No matter how much personal subjective color is included in these words, the desired effect has been achieved.

Under the gaze of everyone in the room, MacArthur seemed to have finally made up his mind, he stood up, and said to Hirohito who was always sitting under the imperial curtain: "Hirohito, as the head of a country, your actions are too lazy. In order to meet today, we have given you enough time to prepare, but the content of the meeting never mentioned apology, on the contrary, we always think that we are not at fault, which is not the attitude that a person who makes mistakes should have."

Hirohito's face turned red immediately, not only because the American general called him by his first name and questioned his ability, but also because he didn't give him any steps in front of so many ministers present.That tone and attitude seemed to be treating his own son.
