Darn good thing they didn’t get to Hirohito before he went on the radio. The war probably still would have dragged on. Tojo wanted to assassinate him.

from Wikipedia: The politically powerful Lord Privy Seal, Marquis Kōichi Kido spread the word that the Emperor no longer supported Tojo.[95] After the fall of Saipan, he was forced to resign on July 18, 1944.[97]" Tojo was no longer Prime Minister after July, 1944. I'm sure that he still had 'influence' within the IJA. I never read anything to suggest that he was involved in the attempted Putsch to prevent a surrender.
