Inside the Amaterasu Hall.
Hirohito Hiroichi walked slowly onto his throne accompanied by a dozen concubines, who stood obediently on both sides behind him.
After sitting firmly on the dragon throne, Hirohito's side slowly spoke: "Two hundred thousand troops went on an expedition to Middle-earth, but only six turtles came back."
All the civil and military officials from Japan came to the Amaterasu Palace.
After hearing this, this group of civil and military officials almost broke down and laughed out loud.
However, many ministers of the Japanese Army were ashamed.
In Japan, the army and navy have always been at odds. The ministers of the navy are overjoyed, while the ministers of the army are so happy that they want to die.
They wished they could cut Musashi and his men into pieces.
Musashi, who was kneeling on the ground, also understood that if he did not defend himself at this moment, he would probably not have the chance to speak again in the future.
"It's unfair, Your Majesty, I am innocent."
Musashi said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, this small defeat in the Middle-earth was entirely due to the fact that my generals disobeyed orders. They opposed me everywhere..."
Xiaoquan quickly interrupted Musashi's words: "Musashi, stop talking nonsense. This small defeat in Middle-earth is entirely due to your incompetent command."
"Hahahaha, despite Hirohito's good self-cultivation, he finally couldn't help it."
He laughed wildly for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "You six bastards, it's already this time and you're still fighting each other."
"Out of an army of 200,000, only six of you bastards came back. The entire army was wiped out, and in your mouths, it turned out to be just a minor defeat."
Musashi said: "Your Majesty, although our 200,000-strong army was completely wiped out, we did not gain nothing from the battle in Middle-earth."
"In this great battle in Middle-earth, I annihilated more than one million Wei troops. Now, there are no soldiers left in Middle-earth."
"If His Majesty the Emperor gives me another 200,000 troops, I will definitely incorporate the entire Middle Earth into the territory of our great Japan."
Emperor Hirohito widened his eyes and said after a long time: "I, I, I have never seen such a shameless person."
Musashi hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I really annihilated a million-strong army of the Middle-earth country. This was a small defeat, but I won a battle ratio of one to five, so it can be considered that my merits have made up for my sins."
"What's more, the responsibility for this small defeat in Middle-earth is not really mine. It's all due to the incompetence of the generals under my command, especially Xiaoquan and Kameda. They did not move forward in the face of battle and even turned against us. Xiaoquan and Kameda are the fuse of my Japanese army's small defeat."
"As for Sakagami Kojiro, Soi and Youi, they are all bastards. If it weren't for them, how could I have suffered a small defeat for the Japanese army."
……………….
In the following time, Musashi and the five people including Xiaoquan started a dog-eat-dog interaction.
They seemed to have used up all their strength to push their own responsibilities onto each other.
Hirohito Koichi and the civil and military ministers in the Amaterasu Hall looked at them as if they were fools.
Amaterasu Hall is the symbol of the Japanese imperial power. It has been a long time since it was so lively here.
However, amidst this excitement, some are happy while others are sad.
The people from the Navy Department couldn't help but burst into laughter, while the people from the Army Department had ashen faces.
In this way, until an hour later, Hirohito Koichi finally understood what had happened from the conversation between Musashi, Kou and the other five people.
Hirohito Koichi glared with bloodshot eyes and said: "Enough, you bastards, why don't you die in Middle-earth? You are simply a disgrace to our great Japanese Empire."
"Someone, come here, drag these six turtles down and execute them in the pond."
"It must cost at least 3,600 knives."
At this point, the Minister of the Army in Amaterasu Palace could no longer remain silent.
They also thought that Musashi and others deserved to die, but they couldn't die so easily.
The Minister of the Army, Ichiro Tanaka, said: "Your Majesty, Musashi and others deserve to die, and their deaths are not a pity, but Yamamoto Ningji of the Navy Ministry should also be killed."
"This time, the place where our Japanese army and the Wei army will have a decisive battle is in Ningde, which is close to the sea and has more than 300 warships of the Navy Department and 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers of the Navy Department."
"In the Ningde battlefield, even though Musashi, Kougou and others were incompetent, we were not defeated in an instant. The battle of Ningde lasted for two full days. When the battle just started, there were already signs of defeat. But Yamamoto Neiji, as the Grand Marshal of the Navy, commanded more than 300 warships and more than 20,000 naval soldiers, but he watched helplessly as our army soldiers were annihilated. It was clear that he hoped that our great Japan would be destroyed."
"Compared with Musashi and others, Yamamoto Ningji deserves to be cut into pieces."
Yamamoto Neiji was in a daze for a moment and could hardly believe his ears: "Tanaka Ichiro, stop talking nonsense. Musashi has an army of 200,000. What does Ningde's defeat have to do with me? It's clearly their own incompetence."
"The mission of our navy officers and soldiers is only to protect the port behind Ningde."
Ichiro Tanaka sneered: "Okay, you said your mission is to defend the port behind the Ningde battlefield, then tell me why you want to defend that port?"
Yamamoto Neiji said: "Of course it's just in case. If Musashi is defeated, I will be able to provide support."
Yamamoto Ningji spoke without hesitation because he was telling the truth. However, as soon as he finished speaking, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Ichiro Tanaka smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay, you have already stated your mission yourself."
"Then why did you just sit back and watch my 200,000 Japanese troops being annihilated?"
"The Ningde battlefield is only thirty or forty miles away from the port you control. You are unwilling to rescue it within a mere thirty or forty miles. You clearly have bad intentions. You are disloyal to the emperor and to our great Japan. Compared with those bastards Musashi, you deserve to die even more."
Yamamoto Neiji opened his mouth wide. He never expected that Tanaka Ichiro would say such heart-wrenching words at this time.
Yamamoto Neiji glanced at the arrogant Hirohito Koichi and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I am innocent. From the beginning to the end, Musashi never asked me for help. Besides, I didn't know that Musashi could be defeated so quickly with an army of 200,000."
"I led the fleet to defend the port, and I have done my duty. Otherwise, I would never have brought back the six Musashi men."
"Your Majesty the Emperor is wise and must not listen to the slander of villains."
…
Originally, today in the Amaterasu Hall, only Musashi and others were convicted. Yamamoto never expected that he, who had done nothing, would become a scapegoat.
