The massacre began, in the warehouse where the officers of the Army Ministry and General Staff were detained, gunfire erupted, machine gunners indiscriminately mowed down the crowd, just as Japanese soldiers killed Chinese civilians, they also killed their own people without mercy.
One by one, the officers with the ranks of Lieutenant General, Major General, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel and Major were hit by bullets and fell into a pool of blood. The Imperial Army Ministry and the General Staff were completely destroyed.
The warehouse has become a river of blood. Four or five hundred people have gone to see their heavenly god in just this short time.
"Commander, sir! The order has been carried out. What should we do with their bodies?" a staff officer rushed over to report.
Nakamura Masao thought for a moment, "Even if they were wrong, after all, they are the soldiers of the empire, so let's transport them to the military cemetery and bury them."
This night was truly not peaceful, but it has passed after all. Many people are paying attention to the development of the situation, and many people from the army department are hiding in their homes with trepidation, praying that the Imperial Guard will not break into their homes and take them away.
But the imperial royal family, at this moment, was somewhat chilled by Mu Yang's means. They agreed to form an alliance with Xiaojia Country, weakening the power of the Imperial Army, but it was not what they wanted, thoroughly pulling out all the people from the Ministry of War and the General Staff Department and shooting them with machine guns. How could the imperial army operate normally? The empire is now at a critical moment in the war, without anyone leading the Ministry of War and the General Staff Department, wouldn't it lead to chaos?
The sky is brightening up, finally it's getting brighter, today might be the day people are most looking forward to seeing daylight.
At 8:00 in the morning, Mu Yang put on a tailored suit and got into his car, arriving at Tokyo Broadcasting Station under heavy guard.
Japan's most famous announcer, Hata Osamu, sat in front of the microphone in Broadcasting Room No. 8 and said to all Japanese citizens: "This broadcast is extremely important, please give it your attention, Prime Minister Koiso Kuniaki will make an announcement of great importance to the entire nation." After the playing of the national anthem, Kimi ga Yo, there was a brief pause before the voice of the Emperor was heard.
"We hereby inform all citizens of Japan that on December 10, 1944, His Majesty the Emperor Showa was assassinated by a Japanese Army officer, Shigenori Kuroda, within the Imperial Palace. The Emperor has returned to the bosom of Amaterasu Omikami."
"This incident was a rebellion conspiracy led by Army leaders headed by Tōjō Hideki, Sugiyama Hajime and Mei Tetsurō, who, in order to gain greater power, murdered His Majesty the Emperor. Here, the Imperial Household, I, and all Cabinet members will never tolerate those rebels who participated in the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor Shōwa, but will severely punish them, to report to the noble spirit of His Majesty the Emperor Shōwa in heaven."
Fortunately, the rebellion in the imperial capital has been put down, and the ringleaders such as Tōjō Hideki, Sugiyama Hajime and Mitsuhiro Mei have been beheaded, but the remaining remnants will continue to be pursued by the Empire.
"In view of the current situation, before a new Emperor is elected, the Empire will temporarily adopt a system of prime ministerial responsibility, with the Prime Minister temporarily exercising all imperial powers."
"We again offer our condolences to the spirit of Emperor Showa. Mourning activities will be held nationwide, with factories halting production, businesses suspending operations, shops closing, schools canceling classes, and memorial services being organized in various locations."
The news was so shocking that many Japanese citizens, upon hearing it, were initially disbelieving and then burst into loud wailing. The entire Tokyo, the entire Japan suddenly turned into a hell of mourning, with weeping sounds everywhere.
Occasionally on the streets of Tokyo, one or two gunshots can still be heard. This is because some people cannot accept this reality and directly shoot themselves to death, following the Showa Emperor.
The entire Japanese society was plunged into great sorrow, and people flocked to the streets, beginning to gather and march on the streets.
Moyang's car left the broadcasting station, and in the same vehicle was also Nakamura Masao.
"Nakamura, look at the crowds outside mourning the Emperor. But there are still so many people who plotted to harm the Emperor and have not been punished, it's really heartbreaking to think about. Even among the many high-ranking military officers, business leaders, and government officials in Tokyo, it's possible that some of them were involved, we just don't know." Mokuyou said with a hint of sadness.
"Prime Minister, is there anything else?" Nakamura Masao asked at the right moment, now completely treating himself as a trusted subordinate of Mu Yang.
"What did you see when you looked at the crowd outside?" Muyang lifted the car curtain and looked out.
Nakamura Masao looked out through the curtain of the car opened by Muryo and said after a while, "I only saw Japanese civilians walking in procession to mourn for His Majesty the Emperor. Nothing more than that there were more people."
"Ah, this is where we differ, you know what I saw?"
"What did you see, Prime Minister?" asked Masao Nakamura in puzzlement.
"Power, a tsunami-like power. If we use this power reasonably, it will trigger a tsunami that will purify the entire Tokyo political arena." Mu Yang said, looking outside with a worried and thoughtful expression.
"Oh, Prime Minister, do you have any plans? Do I need to go and complete them?"
It's no wonder that Nakamura Masao is a good comrade, although his political wisdom is not high, but he is absolutely a subordinate with very strong executive power.
"We still have many enemies, but we had no reason to deal with them. However, these people outside have given us an opportunity, a chance to purge the imperial capital's forces. We can send someone disguised to mix in with the procession and stir them up. The emotions of the masses need some guidance, so let's let their anger be vented on our political enemies. What do you think?" Mu Yang said with a smile, looking at Nakamura Masao.
Nakamura Masao's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded in agreement. "What a great idea! Looting, arson, and rioting are not the responsibility of our Imperial Guard Division. It's a wonderful plan, Your Excellency is truly wise." Then Nakamura Masao continued to perfect this plan right there.
Muyang smiled and didn't pay attention to Nakamura Masao, his eyes gazed out at the crowd outside, but in his heart he was thinking about his own affairs.
Moyang mentioned on the radio that the Emperor was assassinated by the Imperial Army, and this would make the Japanese people realize that the god they worshiped had been killed by the army they were loyal to. This would leave the Japanese people at a loss, and with just a little guidance, it could evolve into something unimaginable, even for Moyang himself.
Then, they demanded that various places set up mourning venues, factories stopped work, enterprises suspended production, shops closed, and schools suspended classes, all to mourn the Emperor. In fact, it was just a mess of nonsense, causing chaos in Japan, even if it consumed a bit of their strength, it would be a contribution to China.
It's up to the power of the Japanese people from now on.
I believe that as long as they continue to riot, loot and burn, someone will eventually taste the sweetness of it, and this behavior will not stop. It will spread like a plague, and when that happens, Japan's domestic situation will become what, I really look forward to it.
