..............As the stunned cabinet members steadily left the meeting the emperor called out " cousin Yoshiko, could you stay for a while, i must talk to you in private about matters of utter importance to
my empire." "of course, your majesty, I also wished to talk to you in private as to what exactly youre trying to accomplish here." they proceeded upstairs to the emperors private office, "Ok, Pu-Yi, what is going on here that was so important you fired Chi and humiliated Li" to which the emperor replied " first I shall ask you a question after which the awnswer to yours shall quickly become clear, tell me the truth about Unit 731 at zhongma fortress, because I know you know what its really for and I have a feeling I do after I happened across a set of papers on the minister of securities desk." Yoshiko shuddered "I assume you have found out it is used for........unique research.......on kidnapped manchu citizens?" said the horrified Yoshiko. " yes, now I understand you are...........well aquianted, with several discontented japanese officers, are you not?" "yes,sir" she then said, suprised at his suddenly calm tone " then tell them this, I will ship supplies and arms from our disbanded military as well as 5 million dollars in silver if they will attempt a coup in two months." Yoshiko gasped "sir..........you are serious......where will you get that kind of money?" the emperor laughed " dear heavens Yoshiko, you didn't think the japanese paid for my lifestyle did you, I've had personal agents stealing back
my things from the forbidden city for years." said an amused Pu-Yi" " I will also need you to set up an appointment with the warlord Yan Shanxi." "why" asked a bewildered Yoshiko "would you need a meeting with a warlord?" she asked " my dear cousin, is it not painfully clear, your officers will stage a coup that the kwangtung army will be needed to put down, once the kwangtung army has left a manchurian civillian will "happen upon" Zhongma fortress and its horrors, we present the story to the world and a bribed or decieved yan shaanxi will send his armies in to protect us from japans wrath while we take full control of the country and deploy my new army to the Korean border meanwhile Japan will have a choice, It can put down the coup, or attempt to take us down by which time the old government in tokyo will have fallen and the new one will be our friend by neccesity or choice after the unit 731 mess, as I have A highly influential contact in Englad who happens to have many contacts in parliment, enough to get england to intervine on our behalf." Yoshikos mouth almost hit the floor in amazement, she had never seen Pu-Yi be so sneaky or decisive "are you........sure about this my lord." "yes" pu-yi replied as long as you can set up the meetings "it.....will be done my lord." said an exasperated Kawashima Yoshiko who then turned and left with great haste..........
Yoshiko would have to work wonders to pull off one of the greatest conspiracies in history at the behest of a man who just a few days ago was a groveling japanese lap dog.........
