Japanese Emperor Hirohito was woken up by Empress Michiko in his sleep.His Majesty the Emperor who abandoned his country and fled is now aboard the largest battleship of the Japanese Navy.On December 12, the same day that the Korean War officially started, he boarded this warship from Yokohama Port, left his empire and his subjects, and embarked on a southern tour.These days, he has been feeling guilty and blaming himself in his heart, and at the same time, he is also faintly looking forward to it.Perhaps the situation is not so bad. The more than 12 million soldiers of the Korean army can defeat the brutal Chinese invaders, so that they can return home quietly, as if nothing happened.

It would be great if nothing happened!There was no Shandong War in 1927, nor the September 1930 War from 31 to 9.18, nor the so-called "Rise of China". Japan is still dominating the East, and it will not become the "Last Emperor", just like in a dream Enough.

In the past two days, whenever Emperor Hirohito closed his eyes, he would have some bizarre dreams.For example, why China is still mired in the quagmire of civil war, Japan won the 9.18 war, and gradually eroded the land in North China... Finally, it launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, occupied Nanjing, the capital of China, and massacred 30 people!Hey, why is the capital of China in the dream Nanjing, not Wuhan?By the way, the Chinese ruler in the dream seems to be Chiang Kai-shek, not Luo Yiqun's uncle and nephew.However, these dreams are really beautiful, but unfortunately they are not real!

When the dream was disturbed and Emperor Hirohito reluctantly opened his eyes, he heard Empress Michiko's eager voice.The emperor's heart sank, and it seemed that there was another bad news!Before the emperor sat up, the queen said loudly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Prince Zairen of the military headquarters sent an urgent telegram. It said that the mecha army of the Korean army was defeated by the Chinese in Yunshan! In this campaign, thousands of bombers were used to bomb the mech army, and a flying tank was also used to attack the marching column of the mech army at night, destroying hundreds of tanks! Moreover, the navy also discovered a huge The Chinese fleet is sailing to the west coast of the Korean peninsula, and the Chinese are about to land behind the North Korean army!"

"What! So fast!" The emperor had been prepared for the news of the defeat, but the North Korean army with more than 150 million people was defeated by the Chinese in just a few days, which was worse than Hirohito expected. The result is even worse!Such a result shows that China's military power is far stronger than imagined, while Japan's resistance is weaker than imagined... What's more troublesome is that the "relocation plan" to preserve the vitality of the Japanese Empire may not have been implemented It's time!What's even more frightening is that there seems to be more than 60 terrifying Chinese troops in Australia!Will they allow Imperial Japan to start over there?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Please hurry up and order the North Korean army to shrink completely to buy time for the relocation plan." After rushing into the emperor's cabin was Koichi Kido, the Minister of Internal Affairs, who saw Emperor Hirohito sitting there blankly as if Being stupid, he raised his suggestion aloud.In fact, this suggestion was also attached to the end of the telegram by the Chief of the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters, Prince Kanin Miyazaihito. After the old prince's guidance to the Korean army was rejected, he asked the emperor again.

The emperor stood up immediately, and walked around the cabin in his pajamas, as if he was making the most difficult decision.

"What about the North Korean army? What did the North Korean army say? Are there any corresponding countermeasures?" Hirohito stopped and looked at Michi Kido.

"Marshal Okamura still wants to fight with his back, and is now mobilizing troops to prepare for another attack."

"Are you sure?" Yuren asked.

"The military department believes that there is no chance of winning, and has issued an order for a full-scale contraction, but Marshal Okamura refuses to implement it on the grounds that the military department should not interfere with front-line command."

"Oh, that's right." Hirohito now has a little understanding of what happened. It turned out that the military department and the North Korean army had serious differences on the next stage of military deployment. Or Germany's "intervention" to buy time, but the commander of the Korean army Neiji Okamura wants to fight to the death!Even if it's a fight to the death... This Okamura seems to be too incomprehensible to understand the holy will!

"I need an experienced military councilor by my side, let Marshal Neiji Okamura take on this important task." Emperor Hirohito said with a bit of anger, it seems that Okamura will have small shoes in the future wore.

"Your Majesty..." Hearing Hirohito's decision, Kido Koichi was also taken aback. The original intention of Prince Hanin Gongzaihito was to interfere with Okamura's command, and he didn't intend to change the general.Besides, the Korean War has been fought to this point, who is willing to be the commander?

"What's the matter?" Hirohito saw the hesitation on Kido Yukiichi's face, and asked in a calm voice, "Why didn't you go to pass the decree?"

"Your Majesty." Kido looked at Hirohito's gloomy face, gritted his teeth and asked again: "If the military department asks for instructions on the successor of the commander of the Korean Army..."

"Let the current military council officer, General Sugiyama Moto, go to North Korea. General Sugiyama is firm and tenacious, and he will definitely be a good commander."

Emperor Hirohito thought for a while, and gave the job of the unlucky North Korean Army commander to the current Army Education Director and Military Councilor, General Sugiyama Yuan.

At the same time, the military department was ordered to fully delay the Chinese army's attack, delay the time of North Korea's fall, and win the preparation time for the local war of resistance.In this decree, Hirohito also asked the Japanese army and navy to do everything possible to deal heavy damage to the Chinese army that invaded North Korea. If necessary, the Kamikaze plane originally planned to defend the Japanese mainland can be used to launch a surprise attack, and strive to annihilate the invading Chinese army. The Chinese fleet, the sarin poison gas stored in secret can also be sent to North Korea immediately...

Later, he ordered Kido to send a secret message to Yosuke Matsuoka, the special envoy far away in Petersburg, the capital of Russia, instructing him to put forward the truce conditions for ceding the "New Japan State".You can also invite the Empress of Russia to mediate the Sino-Japanese War in the name of the Emperor, and you can promise that the Empress will be richly rewarded after she succeeds.

In the end, the emperor gave instructions to the Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro who stayed behind in Japan, asking him to speed up the "relocation plan" and move important populations out of Japan as soon as possible.If the distance to move to New Japan is too far, the Pacific islands that are closer to the Japanese mainland can be used as a transit point.In short, we must prepare for the worst, move as many people out of Japan as possible, and reserve more seeds for the future revival of the Japanese Empire!

Chapter 0967 Korean War (24) Japan's spark

The morning of December 1939, 12.Emperor Hirohito’s imperial decree, the report of the North Korean army’s mechanized troops attacking Unsan with heavy losses and setbacks, the report of Chinese bombers attacking Busan at night, and the news of the Chinese Navy’s carrier-based aircraft attacking Incheon were sent to the Japanese Prime Minister Konoe almost at the same time. Wenmao's desk.

Holding these reports and decrees, Konoe suddenly felt his scalp tingling. The situation in North Korea seemed to be irreparable!In just four or five days, the North Korean army of 150 million troops was on the verge of collapse.And the Battle of Yunshan that started the night before was a complete tragedy.The Chinese planes almost dominated the entire battlefield. They bombed from day to night. The Japanese attacking force was under the threat of bombs falling from the sky 24 hours a day. Last night, there were hundreds of them equipped with cannons. An aircraft as tough as a tank!Those chariots that cost countless people’s hard-earned money are simply vulnerable to these Chinese aircraft. After a day of fighting, more than 600 chariots, self-propelled artillery, and more than 300 wheeled armored vehicles were lost. Trucks were also lost More than 200 vehicles, and the casualties reached tens of thousands!

"Your Majesty asks, is North Korea going to be lost soon? The army and navy can't do anything about it? It will take time to deploy the local defenses."

The speaker was an old man in his 60s with a mustache and a marshal's uniform.This person is King Nashihonomiya Shusho, who has such a leisurely job as a military councilor, and is also the emperor's uncle of Emperor Hirohito.Although the power of the Japanese royal family has rapidly expanded in Japan's military and political administrations over the years, the old prince has always stayed away from the center of power. It is the first time in his life that the old man has come back to participate in a cabinet meeting like today.And it seems that he is still a very important person, but he keeps saying "asking your majesty" and "saying your majesty", as if he has become the agent of Emperor Hirohito.

However, in today's conference room, whether it is Prime Minister Konoe, Minister of War Nagata Tetszan, Chief of Army Chief of Staff Prince Kanin Miyazaihito, Minister of the Navy Shigetaro Shimada, Minister of the Navy Commander Fushimi Gong Hiroshi, and others are guarding the king in Namamoto Palace. There is a humble expression in front of them.Prime Minister Konoe bowed to the old prince, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty has failed His Majesty's trust and the people's expectations."

"What's the use of talking about it now!" Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen patted the table and stood up: "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. If I want to talk about responsibility, I, the chief of the army, also has a share. The problem now is, is there any responsibility?" There is no way to defend North Korea! Is there any way to repel the land and sea attacks of the Chinese Army!"

"Can Sugiyama-kun do anything? What did he say before he left?" Konoe Fumimaro asked anxiously.After Sugiyama received the appointment from the unlucky commander of the North Korean army, he did not hesitate, and immediately packed his things and got on the plane to North Korea.

Prince Xianyuan Gongzairen shook his head bitterly. He actually disapproved of Hirohito's change of generals. However, it is true that the Korean army is in a desperate situation and Okamura Neiji is helpless. It might be better to replace Sugiyama.It was precisely out of this consideration that Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace drew up the order at an unprecedented speed, and personally sent Sugiyama Yuan to the plane.However, on the way to the airport, the new commander of the North Korean army was ashamed and silent.

"What about the navy? Is there anything the navy can do? Can it use the kamikaze planes that are planned to defend the mainland?" Konoe Fumimaro asked again, looking directly at King Fushimi Gong Hiroshi.In Hirohito's will, in addition to transferring the local kamikaze planes to North Korea, there is also the use of sarin gas.However, this question is a bit hot. After all, Chinese people seem to have no shortage of such things as poisonous gas. If Japan uses poisonous gas on the battlefield, China will definitely retaliate, and even use even more terrifying secret weapons!Therefore, Fumimaro Konoe suppressed this instruction for the time being, and only mentioned sending a kamikaze special attack team.

King Hiroshi Fushimi and Shintaro Shimada looked at each other with wry smiles, Fushimi sighed, nodded and said: "There are still more than 1000 kamikaze planes that can be dispatched in China, and nearly 500 in North Korea. Sent out to attack the China fleet."

"When can we dispatch?" Konoe asked again.

"More than 1000 local planes are deployed at the Kyushu airport, so they can be dispatched today." King Fushimi Gong Hiroshi frowned and replied: "However, North Korea's 500 kamikaze planes have encountered some problems. The airport has been attacked by the China Air Force in the past few days, so there is no way to put it into combat for the time being."

"It should be enough to dispatch 1000 aircraft." Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen took over the topic: "If the navy can repel the Chinese fleet on the west coast of North Korea, the front of the North Korean army will not collapse so quickly, so the fate of the empire may be determined." It can be salvaged."

"Your Majesty also hopes that the cabinet can try to start negotiations with China." Prince Shouzheng Lihongong touched his mustache, and raised a new question: "If it is not possible, the new Japanese state of the empire can also be ceded to China. Keep the homeland and North Korea."

As soon as the proposal to cede New Japan State came out, several high-ranking army and navy officials in the conference room all showed embarrassment and bowed their heads in silence.Especially the Minister of War Nagata Tieshan is still sighing.New Japan State is now almost the sacred place in the heart of the entire army, and it is the only hope for Japan to realize its mainland dream. If someone else publicly proposes to cede New Japan State in exchange for peace, I am afraid that they will be "punished" immediately.

"The diplomatic side has arranged for Matsuoka Yosuke to actively contact the Russian Empress as a special envoy, and the Russian Empress has also expressed her willingness to intervene." Foreign Minister Matoku Togo also knew that this matter was difficult to handle, and hesitantly wanted to muddle through.

After listening to Dongxiang's answer, King Lihongong Shouzheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Has the condition for ceding New Japan State been proposed to China through the Russian Empress? Without this condition, China may not pay attention to us, right?"

"Your Majesty Liben Palace." Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen snorted lightly, and interrupted: "Now that the Korean War has not yet been decided, there is no need to make such a big diplomatic concession. Even if such a The conditions for peace should also wait until..." At this point, the old prince suddenly shook his head, and muttered in a low voice: "Baga, there will be no such time, and the empire will definitely tide over the difficulties." Glancing at the head of the naval command, "Fushimi Palace, don't you think so?"

"Ah," King Fushimi Miyahiro Kyo nodded hurriedly, and echoed, "I, a warrior of the Japanese navy, is determined to die with the enemy with the spirit of relentless death! I will definitely destroy the Chinese navy fleet!"

King Shouzheng of Lihongongong looked at the two leaders of the army and navy who were singing together, and smiled bitterly in his heart. The North Korean army has been defeated like this, so what if the 1000 suicide planes can sink a few aircraft carriers?The Chinese can still repair the airport to the edge of the Korean Strait, and when the time comes, Japan will also be bombed!Thinking of this, Li Bengong sighed softly, and said: "Let's talk about the last thing. Regarding the relocation plan, His Majesty also has a new order. The situation is critical now. We should transfer as many important people as possible from the mainland. It is too far away to move to New Japan, so we can set up transit bases on islands in the Pacific Ocean, transfer the population there first, and then transport them to New Japan in batches.” He also looked at the Minister of Navy Command: “Fushimi Palace Next, the ships leaving Japan for the Pacific Ocean will not be empty, but try to pack as many people as possible."

Fushimi Palace, who just swore that he could destroy the Chinese navy, seemed to not remember his naval warriors at the moment, and kept nodding his head.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister," just as the meeting finished discussing military issues and was about to announce the adjournment, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Tadato Ishiguro suddenly said: "This time the relocation plan requires the transfer of hundreds of thousands of tons of rice from the domestic grain reserves. and wheat, there are really too many. Local food production has always been insufficient, all relying on imports from North Korea and China. But now these two channels have been cut off, and due to excessive conscription, the rural strong There is a shortage of labor, and next year's food production will definitely drop. If the limited stocks are shipped to a large number of overseas countries, I am afraid that there will be a severe famine in China by then!"

As soon as this question was raised, it immediately drew a blank stare.It's all burning now!If we can't pass the hurdle in front of us, it's hard to say whether there will be a Great Japanese Empire next year. By then, the Chinese will have to worry about the jobs of tens of millions of Japanese citizens.

The Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Forestry looked at Konoe Fumimaro, who also served as the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, and kept silent. He gritted his teeth and continued: "Don't just think about the war and forget the revolution! If Japan is defeated, at most it will be occupied by China. There may not be a time when independence will be regained in the future, but if there is a leftist revolution, it will really ruin the foundation of the country!"

"Leftist revolution?" Konoe Fumimaro seemed to have heard some terrible words, looked up at Minister of Internal Affairs Eiji Yasui, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on here?"

Eiji Yasui nodded slightly, hesitatingly said: "Recently, the activities of the Red Party in Japan have become more frequent, especially after Tokyo, Osaka and other big cities were successively attacked by the China Air Force, the Reds in the country began to distribute leaflets, claiming that The consequences of the government's policy of non-resistance. They also say that the government only wants to expand outward and occupy more fertile land, but does not want to fight to defend its own people. And... and they also say that His Majesty the Emperor has abandoned the country and fled, The government will also flee to Australia soon, and throw its citizens to the Chinese to ravage!

In addition, in addition...the red elements also called on the soldiers of the imperial army not to obey the orders of the officers to go to the front to die, but to flee with weapons and join the Japanese Red Army! "

"Baga! These red elements are too hateful! We must arrest and kill them all!"

Several leaders of the army and navy in the conference room jumped up on the spot, slapping the table and cursing there.

"This gang of rebellious parties must be suppressed!"

"Yes! You can't let go of any of them!"

"Let the gendarmes arrest people, and kill every one they catch!"

Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen pointed at the Minister of Internal Affairs' nose and asked: "What did the Ministry of Internal Affairs do? Why did it allow the red elements to be so rampant and destroy the fighting power of the imperial army!"

Eiji Yasui smiled wryly and shook his head: "Now the mainland is being bombed every day, and the army is at the front... The rations are getting less and less day by day. The ordinary people are starved of food, but the upper class is running to New Japan one after another. The hearts of the people in the country Can it not be floated? What can the Ministry of Internal Affairs do? If there is another famine next year, I am afraid that the Red Revolution will really happen in the country.”

"What should I do? What should I do?" Konoe Fumimaro's head buzzed when he heard that the revolution was coming.To be honest, as long as the Japanese people still recognize the emperor as the master, even if the mainland falls, Australia will not be able to stay, Konoe thinks there is still a way.The big deal is that the emperor and the government will cooperate with the Chinese. Although the Chinese people at the bottom have aversion to Japan, it is not very serious. Their upper class is only greedy for money and sex. Be happy... But if Soviet Japan is made, then they, the upper echelons of the Japanese Empire, will have no way out!

"Yasui-kun, you said just now that the Japanese Red Party accused us of not resisting?" Prince Morisha Rikamoto seemed to have heard something novel, twisting his mustache and said with a puzzled face: "It sounds like these Red Party are Those who advocate resisting the Chinese army, didn’t there be intelligence before that they were in collusion with the Chinese side?”

"Your Excellency, Marshal," Minister of War Nagata Tieshan took the question, and he sneered: "These people want to embrace the thighs of the Chi Party in China to become the ruler of Japan, but although the Chi Party in China has a large influence, but it is not the ruling party after all. The ruling Chinese Nationalist Party simply ignores these Japanese Reds, and the Japanese Soviet government they established has not been recognized by the Chinese authorities until now. It is estimated that they shouted for this reason It must have come out with slogans against China."

"Oh," Li Bengong nodded slightly, and whispered to himself: "Since they also want to fight against China, is it possible to cooperate with the government? With them participating in the fight against China, they can always have more strength? I remember During the September 9.18th War, the Chinese Red Party was very resolute in resisting the imperial army, presumably the Japanese Red Party will not be far behind in this regard, right?"
