Everyone's face was gloomy, and Prime Minister Kuniaki Koiso finally answered the question of Yoshijiro Umezu, "Chief of Staff Umezu, please take a seat first."
"Although the doctor is still trying to rescue, making a last-ditch effort, he has also clearly told us that there is no hope left, and it's just a matter of going through the motions. I think this result should have been known to Mr. Umetsu Yoshijirō earlier than us."
"I'm extremely curious, what on earth happened that would lead to your subordinate assassinating His Imperial Majesty?" Kojima Kunishō said, his eyes coldly fixed on Mezuru Yoshitarō.
Umezawa Yoshirō lifted his head and saw that everyone in the room was looking at him, and he felt a sudden jolt in his heart. Something's gone wrong, these guys wouldn't be thinking of making me their scapegoat, would they?
Asano Kaichi is nothing but a small role, such a big thing, his little shoulder can't bear it, must find someone with enough weight to take the blame, and he himself is in the best position to take the blame, it seems that these people are ready to sacrifice themselves.
Everyone present was a seasoned official, so there was no need to give advance notice. As soon as Kojima Kōshō opened his mouth, the crowd understood what he meant.
In just an instant, Mezuru Yoshirou's mind thought of many things, he knew that he absolutely could not sit and wait for death.
Umezawa's face turned serious, and he said: "I'm also very suspicious now. Asano Kaichi is also an imperial soldier, why would he assassinate Your Majesty, and in such a blatant manner? I think there must be some unknown great secret behind this. Right, how is Asano Kaichi doing now? Hasn't been killed, has he? We can try to pry open Asano's mouth and get him to tell the truth."
"Mr. Umezawa, something big has happened and you're just going to brush it off like that? Didn't you bring Shigeno Kaichi here yourself? Now, you yourself are under serious suspicion." Kojima Kunishou said coldly.
Umezu Minoru coldly retorted, "Prime Minister Kijuro Shidehara, regarding the attack on His Majesty the Emperor, I acknowledge my responsibility for being remiss in my duties. However, I am neither a participant nor a conspirator. Would I be foolish enough to go to the Imperial Palace and kill the Emperor myself? Is this explanation not laughable?"
"There's one more thing, I'm also a Field Marshal of the Imperial Army. Without sufficient evidence, don't suspect a Field Marshal's loyalty to Your Majesty. Now, I request to join the investigation team, thoroughly investigate this matter, and avenge His Majesty the Emperor. We can't let any participant go unpunished." said Mei Shinjiro.
He must now find a way to turn from an investigated member into an investigator, if he remains in the position of being investigated, it's too dangerous, he must take the initiative to become a member of the investigation team and grasp the initiative.
At this time, Sugiyama said a sentence that saved Maezono Kōjirō, "I believe that the Chief of Staff Maeda will not participate in the assassination of His Majesty. What's the benefit for him? It doesn't make sense in terms of motivation."
Kojima Kuniaki glanced at Sugiyama Gen. Indeed, it was just a guess about Mezuru Yoshirō, and he was thinking of finding someone to take the fall first. As for saying that Mezuru Yoshirō would kill the Emperor, Kojima Kuniaki didn't even believe it himself.
"All right, for the time being, Chief of Staff Matsu will continue to manage the General Staff Headquarters. However, during this period, you are not allowed to go out, and as one of the suspects, I will have a squad of soldiers from the Imperial Palace Guard Regiment keep an eye on you. Please cooperate, Minister Matsu." said Kojima Kunisaburo.
What else could he do, Mei Zhen Weizhila had no choice but to accept this order.
"After Mezurō left, Kojima Kunisaburō continued: 'Now the news of Your Majesty being attacked has been completely blocked, and everyone in the palace is only allowed to enter but not leave. No one is allowed to discuss the news of Your Majesty's attack. I think we can use this time to arrange things for later.'"
"Yes, if the news of Your Majesty's passing spreads, there will be great turmoil in the country immediately, especially among those soldiers overseas. Many will lose their will to fight." said Sugiyama Moto.
"Alright, let's convene a cabinet meeting and come up with a plan as soon as possible. We don't have much time." Kojima Koushirou said finally.
Mount Fuji, at the foot of the mountain, inside an inn.
Moyang got up a bit late, had just finished breakfast, and was holding a Japanese original version of "The Dancing Girl of Izu" to kill time. Suddenly, an information popped into his mind, "Mission: Kill the Devil Japanese Emperor" completed, please check the reward.
Mu Yang's spirit was shaken, and a look of wild joy appeared on his face.
Haha, the Japanese Emperor is actually dead. It seems that Asano Kaichi, his good friend, has finally helped him complete his task and achieved a magnificent feat in history.
Mu Yang didn't slack off and quickly opened the system panel.
The first column of the task bar clearly states "Kill the demon Japanese Emperor" and the task is completed, please receive the reward. However, there is another sentence behind it, "All skill rewards for this world have been completed."
Muyang took a closer look and remembered that when he accepted the task, the system had already hinted that killing the Emperor was the last task in this world. It seemed that he had already cleared all tasks in this anti-Japanese world, and even if he did anything else, there would be no skill rewards.
"Alright, anyway, this is probably over and there might be another world next. Let's take a look at the skill rewards first. Mu Yang was full of energy and immediately opened the second reward column."
Four options appeared again above: "Wilderness Survival Master, Wudang Long Fist, Jewelry Appraisal Master, Taming Technique."
Looking at these skills, Mu Yang felt his mouth watering. If only he could possess them all at once. Wilderness Survival Master - this was once Mu Yang's dream. He loved traveling and exploring, but due to circumstances, it could only remain a hobby in his heart. Now, he couldn't even be considered a beginner player.
But just like that, Mu Yang had bought a few books on wilderness survival before and had seriously memorized the contents, hoping that one day he could travel the world and these skills would be his reliance. Now, the skills of a wilderness survival master were laid out in front of him, how could he not be tempted? It's worth noting that all the skills given by the system were master-level, and he believed that as long as he chose this wilderness survival master skill, he would definitely surpass that British wilderness survival show master Bear Grylls.
Bear Grylls is just filming a reality show "Wild Survival", if Mu Yang and Bear Grylls were left in the wilderness after acquiring skills, Mu Yang believes that he would be the one to survive in the end, while that TV star might not even make it.
Of course, this is just Moyang's own nonsense.
Wudang Changquan is a martial arts skill. Muyang remembers that this was the first time Chinese martial arts appeared, but Muyang did not intend to choose it.
Master of jewelry appraisal, this is absolutely a tool that can both pick up girls and make money. When you take the girl into the jewelry store and show off your jewelry skills, she will instantly think you are very high-end. Of course, if you can give her the jewelry she likes, she will immediately throw herself at you.
Upper three rivers are finished, please help friends vote for Sanjiang Pavilion, I'm deeply grateful.
