Some things, he actually knows better than anyone else.
For example, the introduction of the Huayin Group to the empire was actually done by their army. Lin Xian's words put all the responsibility on Saito, and there was a suspicion that he had set up a torii.
But this is not important.
At least the Army will not admit such a thing.
Prince Xianyuan also knew in his heart that the emperor would have a decision in his heart, and he would not offend the army for this matter.
After everyone quieted down, Prince Xianyuan made a final decision: "Since everyone agrees, I will report to the emperor as soon as possible and dismiss Saito from his position!"
The meetings of the navy, the army, and the government all pointed their finger at Saito.
However, the dismissal of the head of government of an empire is not inevitable, and the emperor needs to personally decide on this matter.
So a few days after the tripartite meeting ended, the emperor of the empire personally convened a large tripartite meeting including the government, navy, and army.
Prior to this, the emperor had already received the applications from the three parties, but the procedures that should be followed must be followed.
On this day, Saito was pacing back and forth in the office.
Regarding the resolutions on the navy and the army, Saito has already received news.
For the past few days, Saito has been in a state of desperation.
Saito actually didn't care much about the opinions of Takahashi and other government officials, as well as the attitude of the army, because his foundation was in the navy.
As long as the people in the navy still support him, his position will not be easily shaken.
But the problem now is that even the navy no longer supports him, and they even unify their opinions and want to remove him from his position.
How does this make Saito not panic?
But things have come to this point, and panic is useless.
As soon as the results of the tripartite meeting come out, it means that his dismissal is a foregone conclusion.
Now, Saito just waited for the emperor to have a meeting.
That was his only chance to stand up.
In this meeting, he can fight for his reasons and try to win the support of some people. If he can convince some people and the emperor, he still hopes to keep his position.
But the current situation is extremely unfavorable to him. Saito has been thinking about it for several days, but he has not been able to come up with any solution.
Just when Saito was thinking hard and was restless, what should come still came.
Suddenly, Saito's secretary knocked on the door and walked in.
When he came in, the secretary (ajed) looked in a hurry.
"Saito-kun, you have just been notified that His Majesty the Emperor invites you to hold a meeting."
As he spoke, the secretary lowered his voice: "At this meeting, His Majesty the Emperor, high-level officials from the government and the navy and army are all present, and it is related to your appointment and dismissal."
"I see."
Saito's voice was a little low, and his face immediately sank.
Even if the secretary didn't say anything, he knew what he would face after going this time.
Slightly exhaling, Saito walked out.
Walking to the door of the office, he couldn't help but glance back.
After today, he may never come back here.
Arriving in the conference hall, as soon as Saito entered, he saw the emperor sitting at the head, and next to him were the two army and navy leaders Kanin and Fushimi.
Further down, there are top naval and army generals such as Lin Xian, Last Time, and Dajiao, as well as some people in the government headed by Gao Qiao.
There was no movement in the conference hall, obviously everyone was waiting for him to arrive.
As soon as Saito entered, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and an invisible sense of dullness suddenly enveloped Saito's whole body.
He is a person of status, and he is not afraid of this kind of occasion.
He has participated in several such top-level meetings before.
But for him personally, today's meeting is different from the previous ones, because he is the one who is held accountable by all.
With a depressed mood, Saito came to his seat and sat down.
Everyone glanced at him first, and then at the emperor.
The emperor said calmly, "Let's begin."
As he spoke, he gestured to the secretary next to him. The secretary understood and immediately put a document on the table.
This contains three documents, which are the documents requesting the removal of Saito from the government, navy and army.
The emperor threw the three documents in front of Saito, but instead of talking to him, he looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, since the past few days, I have received applications from the navy, army and the government one after another, requesting to revoke the documents. All of Saito's positions.
Today's meeting is just to hear your own views.
Before that, I want to announce one thing. Saito is still the head of the government at the moment, and the imperial government cannot live without officials, so please speak carefully. "
After finishing speaking, the emperor leaned back slightly on the chair, signaling to everyone in front of him to speak.
The people in the meeting looked at each other for a few moments, and finally they all turned their attention to Gao Qiao—this is a matter for your government first, and you have to take the lead in speaking.
Takahashi didn't shy away either, he faced the emperor and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have already mentioned the specific reason in the document.
Chapter 882: The Battle of Trapped Beasts
"Well, go on."
The emperor nodded slightly, signaling Takahashi to continue.
"Yes."
Takahashi responded, and then continued: "Before Huayin Group entered the empire, I realized that their purpose is not simple.
From that time on, I kept reminding Saito to be on guard against them, but Saito didn't pay much attention to it.
Later, Huayin Group began to build an industrial park in the area of Fushan, attracting local enterprises from the empire, and then planned secretly to destroy the Fushan Industrial Park.
After that explosion, the empire's light industry capacity dropped by half.
Later, Huayin Group used this reason to control the empire's market step by step..."
Watching over the bosses, Takahashi spoke eloquently and elaborated on his thoughts at the time and the actual actions of Huayin Group.
In the end, Takahashi concluded: "Since the Fushan Industrial Park incident, the Huayin Group has revealed their ambitions.
At that time, I reminded Saito many times and told him the horror of the economic war, but Saito did not take corresponding measures to stop Huayin Group's actions.
Until now, the Huayin Group has fully controlled the economy of the empire, and united with the Americans to carry out economic invasion against us.
The empire has fallen to this point, and Saito has an unshirkable responsibility! "
Takahashi made a long speech, pointing all the finger at Saito, but in the process, he did not mention what the army did.
Because he knew very well in his heart that the army was powerful, and the emperor would not touch the army.
Even if he stated the responsibility of the Army, it was useless.
On the contrary, he himself will be retaliated by the army for this incident, not to mention his position, even his life will be threatened.
After listening to Takahashi's words, all the participants nodded slightly.
Things have developed to the present, and the truth behind all the scenes has long been revealed.
After Huayin Group's complete showdown, the high-level officials of the island country have already found out that what happened in the Fushan Industrial Park was the result of Huayin Group's collusion with the Chinese forces.
Therefore, Takahashi's speech did not cause any fluctuations.
What's more, it has been so long now that it is meaningless to discuss these things.
In the conference hall at this time, the government, the navy, the army, and the three forces have reached an unanimous goal invisibly, which is to let Saito step down.
Therefore, everyone agreed with Takahashi's statement.
Especially Lin Xian cast a meaningful look at Takahashi.
Takahashi did not mention the army's responsibility in this incident, which made Lin Xian and Prince Xianyuan and other army leaders feel good about him.
But Takahashi didn't care.
Although he knows how to assess the situation, it doesn't prevent him from looking down on Lu Jun's gangsters.
The crisis of the empire was caused by the army. Takahashi just didn't want to offend these guys, but he didn't have any good feelings for them.
After listening to Takahashi's statement, the emperor turned to look at Saito.
"Saito, do you have anything to say?"
At this time, Saito had finished reading the three documents in hand, and his face was ashen.
He could see that among the three documents, the navy, army, and the government had completely shunned the responsibility and blamed themselves for all the crimes.
Especially the army and the government are clearly using him as a shield.
Saito was extremely upset about this, and he couldn't help it anymore when he heard the emperor's question.
"Your Majesty! The things mentioned in the document and what Takahashi said just now, although there are some facts, but there are also great concealments!"
"Oh?"
The emperor sat up slightly and seemed very interested.
Saito defended loudly: "The Huayin Group's entry into the empire should have been the responsibility of the Army from the very beginning.
They are greedy for Huayin Group's resources, reached a lot of cooperation matters with Huayin Group in private, and openly provided shelter for Huayin Group's personnel and properties!
As early as when Huayin Group opened the parity market for the first time, I sent people to ban their industries and industrial products.
However, the army and the gang made a hindrance. They even forced their way into my office, threatened me to lift the restrictions on Huayin Group, and openly used the army to help Huayin Group! "
"Saito, don't spout blood. There is absolutely no evidence for what you said."
When Saito blatantly exposed the responsibility of the army, Prince Kanin spoke indifferently.
He first denied Saito's statement, and then looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, what Saito said has absolutely no evidence. The Army has indeed cooperated with the Huayin Group, but it has only purchased resources from them.
Other matters such as protecting Huayin Group and obstructing the government from banning their industries are pure nonsense.
"Blank" [-] ·
And the purchase of resources is also a last resort.
Saito is a member of the navy. During his tenure, he favored the navy in resource allocation many times, which caused the army's resources to be very tight.
The empire's army has been unable to develop for a long time, which is why it made such a bad move to obtain corresponding resources from the Huayin Group. Apart from this, the army did not do anything harmful to the empire. "
Saying that, Prince Xianyuan looked at Saito again with a cold expression.
"Saito, as the head of the government, you have repeatedly treated the army harshly because of your private messages, delaying the development plan of the imperial army!
And this one was an unforgivable mistake.
Now you are not ashamed, but instead used this matter as a talisman at the meeting, trying to fight a trapped beast and shirk responsibility! "
On the opposite side of Prince Xianyuan, Prince Fushimi and other people in the navy did not look very good-looking.
...... 0
Prince Xianyuan's words are equivalent to bringing their navy into it, which is clearly insinuating.
But at this time, they were too lazy to argue.
Anyway, the emperor was well aware of this kind of thing and had nothing to say.
Saito was speechless.
What the army did did not leave obvious evidence, and judging from the current situation, he could not find anyone to testify for him.
No matter how much he argues, it is meaningless.
Lin Xi didn't say a word.
If we really want to pursue it, he is the chief culprit of the empire's economic crisis.
