After accompanying Cole to complete the interview, Gu Zhengzhi wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead and said to him with lingering fear: "Kor, your words today are really too shocking. Your Majesty has always been holding back and not getting angry. I believe he must investigate. It would be fine if it is not true, but if it is true, a large number of people will be in trouble."

Cole said coldly: "How can it not be true? Wouldn't I become a villain who hinders diplomatic relations between the two countries?"

Gu Zhengzhi smiled embarrassedly: "That won't be, you are the most honorable guest of our country." The two walked and sighed. Before they got on the car, news had already been heard in the palace: The meeting of the five imperial ministers will be held tomorrow. His Majesty will attend in person and listen and inquire about the recent battle and domestic and foreign situations.

"Look..." Gu Zhengzhi smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty is in a hurry."

"You have to seize the opportunity." Cole smiled meaningfully, "In the future, I will ask you to take care of you."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Gu Zhengzhi was haha, but his heart was also excited about the subsequent development of the situation.

After returning to the bedside of Akasaka Ligong, Cole, who was still laughing at the same time, changed into a serious expression in a blink of an eye, calmly thinking about what to do next after the first shot was fired. As he thought about it, Hoffmann's explanation to him before leaving:

"Kor, you are my most trusted personal aide. Now I have one thing to tell you to do, which is related to the fundamental interests of the empire." If Chief Adjutant Dargers was present, he would definitely recall the explanations of Rank's instructions to him before leaving. The sentence he ordered to Kerr now is very similar to before.

Of course, Kohl chose to follow Hoffman's request unconditionally. Since the Head of State promoted him from the boring position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and became a popular and respected second adjutant, he has made up his mind to perform. Yu Gong must make achievements in a new position to convince the public and hope to gain a foundation for further climbing; Yu Private wants to repay the trust and reuse of the Head of State. He must use practical actions to prove that the Head of State did not see the wrong person.

"Your mission is to go to Japan, tell them important information about Japan, and use various means to let Japan cooperate with our global strategy on the Pacific battlefield. Considering the short-sighted and stupidity of the existing Japanese leadership, if possible, you need..." Hoffman thought for a long time and squeezed out two words from his teeth. "Downward!"

"Black down?" Cole thought he had heard it wrong. The head of state, more than 10,000 kilometers away from Japan, wanted to interfere in Japan's political situation, but wanted to be crushed. Although the Japanese cabinet has always been unstable, no one can defeat it casually. With his understanding of Japan's political situation, even in the 1920s, when the prime minister changed the fastest, he did not hear any foreigner talking about the goal of "black down". He stuttered: "My head of state. Is this?"

"This seems even more difficult than the task that Rank is carrying, but..." Hoffman patted his shoulder, "It's not so difficult that it's unattainable, and even if it fails, there's not much risk. At least the Japanese won't do anything to you."

Cole thought again: The task is a bit difficult, but the greatest guarantee is the absence of life danger. He nodded and said firmly with confidence: "I understand, I will use all my strength and wisdom to fulfill your requirements."

"The Japanese regime has nothing in common with Germany. It is also different from Italy, which seems to be an enforcement of a constitutional monarchy, regardless of whether they are considered constitutional states. Strictly speaking, their government leadership team is not strictly speaking, there is only one leader like a political leader in Japan, and he is usually hidden behind the scenes."

"You mean...the Emperor?"

"After the defeat in the Battle of Midway, the Japanese cabinet was actually in a precarious position. The reason why it seems very stable is that the leader has not spoken yet. He was either unaware of the situation or was not prepared for other reasons. The government and opposition factions within Japan believe that there is no consensus. This is our opportunity to take action." Hoffman said seriously, "We extend our hands to the Pacific Ocean not to be fun or to show our existence, but to let Japan use greater strength, effective policies and wiser strategies to deal with the Americans."

"What do you think of Prime Minister Tojo?" Hoffman paused for a moment and changed the topic.

Cole thought for a while and replied hesitantly: "I have a rather paranoid personality, radical, strong execution ability, and do things with decisiveness... I can barely adapt to the requirements of efficient decision-making during the war."

"Where is the former Prime Minister, Wei Wenli?"

"This is a veteran politician, more mature and skillful than Prime Minister Tojo. His problem is that he is a civilian and may not be able to control the Japanese army." Cole's thoughts opened, "If a prime minister in Japan cannot control the army, he will sooner or later lose his position due to the wavering of the military."

Hoffman shook his head: "What you said is not comprehensive. I don't deny the advantages of Prime Minister Tojo. If he is a school-level officer, he should be a good officer based on his strong execution. But the question is where he is? He is the Prime Minister of Japan and is said to be the Minister of the Army. My position in Japan is the same as me, but what do you think he is in charge of other than taking power? Besides, Fumiko Kobe, do you really think he can't control the army? Why did he choose to resign before the war against the United States last year? It was not that he opposed the war, but that he had no confidence in the war and was afraid of taking responsibility in the future and gave up. In the voices of the unanimous call for war against the United States, everyone chose Tojo, a foolish boy, to come up and take responsibility..."

At this time, Kohl suddenly remembered that he occasionally mentioned his evaluation of foreign leaders when chatting with Chief Adjutant Lieutenant Colonel Dalge. He thought that the head of state had a low evaluation of the Italian leader, but he did not expect that the chief adjutant told him mysteriously: "Although the Italian leader is unreliable, we usually think of it as a joke, the head of state still recognizes his political ability. The head of state has a low evaluation of Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo. He believes that this Japanese Prime Minister with the rank of lieutenant general can only serve as a major in the warehouse at best. He will keep all the materials in order, but he does not understand what politics is or what strategy is."

"But if the Japanese Prime Minister was not from the general of the army, he would not be particularly close to our country, right?" In Cole's thinking, the Japanese Army is pro-Germany, while the Japanese Navy is pro-British and American. What if someone changes, Japan's route of fighting against the United States will also change? Then isn't all the pressure from the Americans pouring into Europe?

"It doesn't matter whether the position of the Japanese Prime Minister is particularly close to our country. Japan and the United States will fight to this extent, unless one side will fall, it will not make peace easily. Therefore, the first priority of the Japanese Prime Minister is to have strategic thinking and be able to clearly understand Japan's strengths and shortcomings; second, it is necessary to be able to control the subordinates who are ready to move, especially those generals who are mindless and only know how to attack suicide; third..." Hoffman said with a headache, "To wake up the Japanese Navy, they are still here.

The unrealistic dream of fighting the United States is a common problem for soldiers, just like my generals who always think that taking Moscow would force Stalin to surrender, that is impossible. Japan's best strategy should be to fight back steadily, use the small islands in the Pacific to retract the front line by step by step, and then concentrate all the mobile forces after the American power is dispersed, instead of taking all the capital and gamble now, and let the Americans take it."

Cole nodded and expressed his understanding and asked the candidate for the Prime Minister whom the head of state belonged to.

Hoffman shook his head: "No, don't say that I don't have a candidate I particularly like, what if I like it? In the final analysis, I can only influence but not grasp the political situation of Japan, but there are two people you must pay attention to. One is the commander of the Japanese naval, General Yamamoto Go; the second is the retired Lieutenant General Ishihara Kanir. If Japan has strategists, he can be counted as one."

Kohl knew the reputation of Yamamoto Go-Zhao General, but he thought for a long time before recalling the Japanese general who had been in Germany for a long time. He said tentatively: "I have heard of this character's name. It seems to be a little famous, but the relationship with his colleagues seems to be very bad. It is said that he was ordered to retire and be under surveillance because he opposed the war between Japan and the United States."

"Do you know what the two people are in common?"

Cole thought about it and actually wanted to show his analytical ability in front of the head of state, and the target was his familiar Japanese political situation, but after thinking about it for a long time, he could not think of the intersection between the two army and navy generals.

"Their common feature is that they have been inspecting abroad and have been in exchange for a long time. General Yamamoto is a military officer in the United States. Lieutenant General Ishihara is an inspection in our country. This experience has given them a deep understanding of the global strategy and the situation of various countries. Unlike those officers who grew up in military camps and academy, who have never had in-depth contact with the international community and a group of arrogant and arrogant conjecture patients." Hoffman explained, "Do you think Ishihara opposes Japan and the United States to start a war? General Yamamoto also opposes Japan and the United States to start a war. If I am the Prime Minister of Japan and the United States, I also opposes Japan and the United States to start a war. They all know that the gap in military strength between Japan and the United States is too large and there is no hope of victory. But now the direction of the war against the United States is certain, they will put their intelligence on how to win this war. If we come forward to remind them that the war will be long-term and cannot achieve its contribution, they will more agree with our global strategy."
