US fighter plane hunted Yamamoto Izuru
On April 18, 1943, Yamamoto Izuru's landline was hit by the US military and fell into the woods of Bougainville Island. The war gambler Yamamoto died in a foreign land. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the Japanese side blocked the news about Yamamoto's death. It was not until May 21 that Yamamoto's ashes were transported back to China that the wartime base camp announced Yamamoto's death.
Then, Japanese Emperor issued an order: On June 5, a state funeral was held for Yamamoto in Hibiya Park, Tokyo.
During the state funeral, Yamamoto's wife Reiko and four children kept him in peace.

In the mourning hall, Rizi's face was dull.
Watanabe (Yamamoto's adjutant) who sent the ashes back to China saw Yamamoto's children crying all day long, and shed tears as well.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman in mourning clothes staggered from outside, plunged in front of the spirit and cried loudly. Watanabe turned around and saw that it was Yamamoto's mistress Chiyoko.
The atmosphere in front of the spirit suddenly became tense. I saw resentment and anger appearing in Riko's originally wooden face. Since Yamamoto and Chiyoko got together, their relationship has dropped by nearly zero, and Reiko has endured the pain of loneliness of separation for a long time.

Yoshima Yamamoto, who is already in college, knows the reason for the disagreement between parents. When he saw Chiyoko crying, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Watanabe saw that the situation was not good, so he hurried over to persuade Chiyoko, and asked the maid to help her out, and drove Chiyoko back home by herself.
Enter Chiyoko's house, Watanabe lowered his head and said, "Please forgive me for the matter in front of the spirit. Fortunately, the commander missed his wife the most during his lifetime. Please take care of him." Chiyoko just cried and did not answer.
After a while, she raised her tears and asked, "Can you save Yamamoto's remains some?

Watanabe shook her head: " Emperor His Majesty has issued an edict to divide the commander's remains into two parts, part of which will be sent back to Nagaoka's hometown for burial, and part of which will be sent to the Yasukuni Shrine for sacrifice after the state is buried. "
Chiyoko sighed and said, "I understand. If the name is not correct, then the words will not be correct. "
Watanabe comforted, "I have left some of the relics of the commander's death and will be given to my wife the next day. "
Chiyoko's eyes were stunned and she stood up and said, "Sir, please come back temporarily. I will go to your place tomorrow to welcome Yamamoto's relics. ”
Unexpectedly, Chiyoko hangs herself at home early the next morning.
