Chapter 69 Havoc

The Ministry of the Army is in charge of logistics, and the General Staff Headquarters is in charge of operations, and the conflict between these two organizations has already intensified around the ration of ships.Sato knew that Tanabe had no good fruit to eat for him, but he had to go when the deputy chief of staff called him. As soon as he walked into the door of Tanabe's house, Sato heard someone shouting loudly in the house: "It's all the fault of the Military Affairs Bureau. When Sato comes, I must beat him up!" Sato entered the room and saw that they were all high-ranking officers of the General Staff Headquarters. Seven or eight of them were drinking, and the one who was yelling while drinking was Chief of Staff Shinichi Tanaka.Tanaka was an impulsive and violent young officer who often said big things. For example, before the Kawaguchi detachment landed on the island, he boasted: "Sending such a force can definitely annihilate the US Marine Corps. Take all their weapons."

Sato thought about not messing with such a person, but fortunately Tanabe was a kind-hearted person among a group of idiots, and he came forward to call, so Sato saluted Tanabe: "General, I am ordered to come and explain." As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room, including Tanabe and Tanaka, questioned in unison: "Satou, why are you having trouble with us?" Sato muttered: "This is the cabinet's decision..." "Bastard, how dare you argue!" Tanaka's eyes were red, and he broke the wine glass. He looked like a cat seeing a fish, and he was determined to swallow the Chief of General Affairs.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sato muttered "You drink too much, let's talk when you are sober", while trying to run away. When Tanaka was willing to let go, he pulled out his saber, shouted "stop", and blocked Sato's way. Afraid of killing people, several officers hurried forward to hold Tanaka down and snatched his saber.Tanaka was like a cannonball that had already been fired, he broke free from the obstruction, and punched Sato in the face as soon as he went up. It is said that Sato is also a general, how can he suffer from such a dumb loss, and immediately slapped Tanaka firmly.Sato is a major general, Tanaka is a lieutenant general, and the two generals used the living room as a battlefield and wrestled together.

The other officers became interested. Not only did they not fight, but they even cheered for them loudly in the fields where they were asking for cheap.Feeling guilty and short of breath, Sato hurriedly took the opportunity to push his opponent away, and quickly escaped from Tanabe's mansion with his face covered in blood. After all, Tanaka drank too much wine, and Sato escaped, but he couldn't catch him, but the breath was not enough.So he broke into the house of Lieutenant General Heitaro Kimura, Vice Minister of the Army, at midnight with the strength of alcohol. As soon as he saw Kimura, he pointed at Kimura's nose and scolded him for being cowardly and unwilling to work for the emperor. Why can't the tonnage of some ships be increased.

Seeing that he was drunk, Kimura didn't dare to reason with him, so he could only apologize and promise to meet the Prime Minister to meet the requirements of the General Staff Headquarters, so he persuaded the drunk to go home. Early the next morning, Tanaka sobered up, and went to the house of Suzuki Sada, President of the Cabinet Planning Institute, to mess around.Suzuki was in Wenrouxiang, and after being woken up by Tanaka, he was very angry. The two quarreled, and in the end Suzuki's secretary dragged Tanaka away. Tanaka pretended to be a dragon like a dragon, and a tiger like a tiger, and made a big disturbance in the heavenly palace, making the gods frightened.Suzuki had always opposed the military's expropriation of civilian ships before, but he was even more afraid of being stared at by the staff headquarters all day long because of such a little official business, so he reached an agreement with Deputy Chief Tanabe, agreeing to increase the tonnage of ships.

But Tojo himself firmly disagreed with this.Tanaka used alcohol to go crazy and demonstrate to the government, which made him very embarrassed as the Prime Minister and Prime Minister of the Mainland, and if it is "crying children have milk", everyone must follow suit. Even if Tojo is a cow, he can't handle so much demand. Believe me, I lost the scoop.Tojo put on a straight face. He asked the Military Affairs Bureau to inform the General Staff Headquarters that the cabinet's decision must not be changed. "In any case, the Army can only get the tonnage determined by the cabinet."

Army Chief of Staff Moto Sugiyama and his subordinates basically wore a pair of trousers. Looking at it now, Tojo was really moving. He hurriedly convened an emergency meeting of the ministers of the General Staff Headquarters and decided to go collectively to Tojo's mansion to make a strong admonition. Naturally, it still depends on Tanaka to fire the cannon, but Sugiyama was also worried that if Tanaka could not control himself and caused trouble, it would not end well, so before he left, he specially told his adjutant, Senior Commander Tanemura: "If the Chief of Operations quarrels again, you will give him up." I pull it out."

In the evening, Sugiyama and his subordinates came to the prime minister's residence and asked Tojo to meet him.Tojo's secretary was very upset after seeing them, and refused to report on the grounds that Tojo had rested. The people from the General Staff Headquarters didn't want to leave when they came today, and Tojo refused to meet them, so they just sat in the living room outside.Kimura and Sato received the notice and had already waited in the living room in advance. When Sato and Tanaka met, they were enemies. They were extremely jealous. They sat cross-legged facing each other, wishing they could kill each other with their eyes.

The living room was filled with a chill atmosphere.Tojo, who was hiding in the back room, had no choice but to come out in kimono to meet him.
