"Your Majesty! Japan needs you!" A lieutenant wearing a Japanese army uniform appeared from nowhere, stuffed a rough-printed pamphlet into Gan Fu's hand, and disappeared in a flash.Gan Fu picked up the booklet and took a look, only to see the name "Reform Comrades Association" printed on the cover.

Ganfu frowned slightly. This organization was well-known in the Japanese army. It seemed that a Japanese radical thinker named Kita Ikki (there was no February [-] Mutiny in this time and space, so Kita Ikki hadn’t died yet) was the spiritual leader. radical groups.Advocating "Showa Restoration", "Pure Socialism" and the "Outline of Japan's Reconstruction Act" all day long, it seems a bit like a revolutionary organization plus a violent group. Could it be that such an organization has achieved great development during this period of time? Out of space?

Thinking of this, Gan Fu turned a few more pages, and found that the pamphlet actually claimed that the Japanese emperor, big chaebols, big landlords, etc. had "abandoned the country and absconded" and abandoned the Japanese people!So the fate of Japan can no longer depend on such an upper class!We can only rely on the bloody soldiers of the middle and lower classes to fight against ordinary people, and we must rely on the power of the lower classes to transform the country, defend the country, and establish a brand new new Japan that truly represents the interests of all citizens...

God!What is this mess?Is the Japanese Empire about to undergo the legendary revolution after its defeat in foreign wars?

……

Tokyo, Nakano Ward.

Among the crowded houses that have not been destroyed by Chinese bombers, there is a seemingly ordinary two-story building.There is a signboard of Ando's family hanging on the gate of the small building. The owner here is Teruzo Ando, ​​the captain of the third regiment of the Tokyo Division (First Division).During this period of time, a mandatory evacuation order has been issued in Tokyo, and most of the residents in the entire block, including Major Ando's family, have moved to the countryside near Tokyo.The streets were deserted, and the doors and windows of Ando's house were closed tightly, as if no one lived there.But no one would have thought that it was in a certain room in this two-story building.Some young military officers are gathering to discuss the future of Japan as a country.

"According to the news from the comrades of the Guard Division, the Emperor has indeed traveled south to New Japan! The person living in the palace is a counterfeit, and the whole country has been deceived by them!"

"Hmph! What is the southern tour, obviously running away! How could Emperor Meiji have such unworthy descendants!"

"This will not be His Majesty's original intention. It must have been hijacked by national thieves like Konoe to go to New Japan! I heard that the cabinet has ordered that most of the domestic food reserves will also be transported away, and the rations for ordinary civilians next month It needs to be reduced! I’m afraid we won’t be able to wait for the Chinese to come over... the people will all starve to death!”

"It seems that Mr. Bei is right. The achievements of the Meiji Restoration have been stolen by the big capitalists, big landlords and other upper classes! The people who account for the majority of the population are their slaves! If the agents of the big capitalists and big landlords in the cabinet are not overthrown People, ordinary Japanese citizens will have no way out!"

"But what to do? Now that North Korea has almost been lost, and the mainland is always facing the invasion of China, if all the people cannot unite, the Chinese will occupy the Japanese archipelago! At that time, the people will become slaves of the Chinese ! Japan! Japan! Why is your fate so ill-fated..."

"But these upper-level people are only thinking about escaping! They only think about personal safety, and they don't have a country or citizens in their hearts..."

All present here are some young officers from the military headquarters or the Tokyo Division and the Guards Division. They are full of "patriotic and cynicism".It seems that these people were the ones who provoked the 2.26 coup and made Japan a militaristic country in the end!

However, these lower-level "Imperial Way Schools" are actually not the same thing as the upper-level "Sadao Araki, Shintaro Maki and others."In other words, Sadao Araki and Jintaro Masaki at the upper level are just the flags of the lower levels. They are completely two types of people. Otherwise, after the 2.26 mutiny in history, Sadao Araki and Jintaro Masaki would not have been transferred to the reserve service. up.

In fact, these angry Japanese military officers are somewhat sympathetic to the people at the bottom because they are close to the bottom society (well, although they are all bad people, it doesn’t mean they don’t love Japan and the Japanese people), so most of them accepted Kita Ikki’s ideology. The set of theories in the "Outline of Japan's Reform Law".What they want to pursue is not only foreign expansion, but also the transformation of the Japanese country!It is necessary to seize state power from the hands of the big capitalists, big landlords and other upper classes, and then build a country that... should be said to be a socialist country with Japanese characteristics!In short, they are all people whose thoughts are very confused.

The host of today's gathering is also a believer of Kita Ikki, a Japanese army major named Nishida Sho.One of the planners of the 2.26 mutiny in history was also the founder of the Japanese Nationalist Party (the name is reactionary!) and the Reform Comrade Association.Since there was no 2.26 mutiny in the history of this fork in the road, these two fascist organizations have not been banned now, and they continue to expand their influence in the Japanese army and navy.Especially when the situation on the front line took a turn for the worse and the emperor "abandoned the country and left", the strength of organizations such as the Japanese Kuomintang, the Maintenance Comrades Association, and the Japanese Communist Party was rapidly expanding.

However, seeing that his organization was growing day by day, Major Nishida Shui remained cold-faced and did not speak.What Bei Yihui said to him when he was leaving repeatedly appeared in his mind:

"Although we don't want to admit it, facts are facts. Japan has lost the war! The country is on the verge of extinction! What we have to consider now is not to expand abroad, but to save the country! Not only to save Japan from the Chinese invaders To save Japan from the butcher's knife, and to save Japan from the thieves at the top! And to achieve such a goal, the strength that can be relied on is so weak...

As a last resort, we can only choose to cooperate with certain Chinese political forces who do not hate Japan!There is no way to do this. If the country wants to survive, in addition to resisting desperately, sometimes it has to bear the burden of humiliation!Now the government is also doing such things. Former Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka is actively seeking peace in Petersburg, but the hope of success is very slim.So I am going to personally go out to find a way to peace. If I can find it, the Tokyo side must act decisively. If I can't find it...then we have to make another plan. "

Can Mr. find a way to peace?Although Xitian knew that Mr. Bei Yihui had participated in the Chinese revolution in the early years and had contacts with many high-level figures in the Chinese Kuomintang, but now the real rulers of China are Luo Yiqun and Luo Yaoguo uncle and nephew who have no friendship with Mr. Bei.Moreover, major issues between countries cannot be resolved by personal friendship. Is there any way Mr. Bei can do it?If Mr. Kita does not find peace, what is the future of Japan?

……

"Japan...KMT?" Luo Yaoguo heard this name from Chiang Kai-shek for the first time in the living room of the General Staff Headquarters.

Lao Jiang returned to Wuhan by plane this morning. After having lunch with his father-in-law Luo Yiqun at the Presidential Palace, he immediately went to the General Staff Headquarters to look for Luo Yaoguo.After meeting, Lao Jiang told Luo Yaoguo that his secretary-general, Zhang Qun, had been in touch with some figures in Japan all along!Among them is a secret political party that is quite influential in Japan right now - the Japanese Nationalist Party!Moreover, the leader of the Japanese Kuomintang once participated in the [-] Revolution in China.

Seeing a hint of interest on Luo Yaoguo's face, Lao Jiang smiled slightly, and then said: "The leader of the Japanese Kuomintang is named Bei Yihui, Brother Fu Wen, you must have heard of it?"

"Bei Yihui." Luo Yaoguo nodded, isn't this one of the planners of the 2.26 mutiny in Japan in his previous life?It turned out that the Japanese Kuomintang was his organization.He thought for a while and asked, "Jie Gong, is this Mr. Bei Yihui willing to cooperate with us? I don't know what his conditions are?"

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Luo Yaoguo and smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter what the conditions are, the key is that he is willing to cooperate with us, and only by cooperating with us can he seize the Japanese regime. As long as he relies on our support to become Japan's leader Ruler, after that, things will not be up to him!"

Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly, he thought for a while and said, "Since it is decided that Jie Gong will be the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Front Army, it is up to Jie Gong to choose which forces to cooperate with. However...the Shuncheng Palace also proposed a partner for cooperation. "

"Is it the Japanese Communist Party?" A smirk appeared on Chiang Kai-shek's face, but he returned to his serious look in a blink of an eye. "We can't cooperate with the Japanese Communist Party, otherwise Bei Yihui will have ideas. But we don't prevent the Shuncheng Palace from cooperating with them. As for whether Japan has a position in the Japanese Communist Party after the war, Mr. Bei should go to the Japanese Communist Party." Leaders coordinate, let's not interfere too much."

Luo Yaoguo shook his head to express his puzzlement.Chiang Kai-shek smiled and explained: "With regard to the issue of the demise of Japan, my opinion is that the military work is coming to an end, and the next step is political action. Although China is 10 times stronger than Japan, the Japanese nation is very Perseverance and tenacity, and the current domestic and international situation does not allow us to kill all the tens of millions of Japanese." Speaking of this, he glanced at Luo Yaoguo, and said: "If we can kill all of them, Brother Fu Wen will not kill them all." Will Zhongzheng come out to be the commander of the Japanese front army?"

Luo Yaoguo nodded with a smile, and counted with his fingers: "Japan has a population of 7000 million. It seems that at most 150 million people can be eliminated on the Korean battlefield. Australia can handle 100 million people. Hawaii, Central America, the Philippines With Indonesia and other places, another 100 million will be settled, and another million will be lost, and 200 million will be destroyed by bombing... It is almost 600 million, which is less than one-tenth."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded grimly: "Based on my understanding of the Japanese nation, if there is no local Japanese forces to cooperate with us, if we want to occupy the whole of Japan by force alone, I am afraid that we will have to pay an unimaginable price! The country may not support it. Therefore, the only The only way is to eliminate its will and strength to resist, achieve the purpose of occupation, and then find a way to divide Japan, keep it in a long-term civil strife, and finally eat away piece by piece! The whole process is impossible to complete in less than ten years , Brother Fuwen, can you have such patience?"

"10 years!" Luo Yaoguo frowned. This time is obviously longer than he expected, and China will realize constitutional government in the next few years. Will the people support the government's efforts to destroy Japan?

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "Ten years is not a long time to destroy a nation-state like Japan." He paused for a moment, then frowned and said: "Now we have only achieved the first step in destroying Japan. Their military power. But it did not eliminate Japan's will to resist. Fu Wendi, how many troops will the General Staff allocate to the Japanese Front Army? 10 or 80 million? These troops are only a few tenths of the Japanese people! If the entire Japan They are all against us, I am afraid that the army will fall into a quagmire and cannot extricate itself. Therefore, the focus of the next step is not to destroy Japan, but to find a partner and eliminate the will of the Japanese nation to resist. In this regard, whether it is the Japanese Kuomintang, the Japanese The Communist Party, or certain factions in the current Japanese government, as long as they are willing to cooperate with us, we should welcome anyone who comes! Let them see the hope of 'saving the country' and the hope of taking control of Japan... so that we can successfully Japan has implemented a military occupation. Only then can the next step of the plan to divide Japan be advanced."

Chapter 0973: The Gorgeous Debut of the Nuclear Age ([-]) Enticing Japan to Surrender

The prime minister's car drove by the streets of Tokyo. Both sides of the street were devastated. There were half-burnt buildings and ruins everywhere. There were no pedestrians on the street. The only few people in a hurry were officers in military uniforms. What army is it?

Fumimaro Konoe closed the curtains and sighed softly.Now Japan has almost become a sea of ​​military uniforms, with 600 million troops and 800 million reserve soldiers, but the military is still not satisfied, and immediately proposed the "Battle One" plan with a total of [-] million pieces.According to this plan, the tens of millions of citizens who stayed in the mainland of Japan will be organized into the so-called local decisive battle army... As for what weapons to equip these soldiers, or even what to use to feed these people, there is no way at all .

In fact, although everyone shouted "Fight! Decisive!", but all eyes were fixed on New Japan Prefecture thousands of miles away!Anything good in the military department was quickly shipped to the New Tokyo Port, and even experienced officers and sergeants were transferred from the already endangered Korean battlefield to the New Japanese Front Army!As for the decisive battle in the mainland... I'm afraid no one has the confidence to win it!

The car drove through the city and headed for the suburbs.Due to days of heavy bombing, Xiaguan's prime minister's residence did not escape the bad luck of being bombed in the end, and became a victim of incendiary bombs at the end of December.The prime minister's official residence was moved to a research institute in the suburbs that originally belonged to the Army Aviation Headquarters. This research institute was also on the mobilization list of the "National Relocation Plan", and now the entire institute has been relocated to the Hawaiian Islands.The vacated base was just used to accommodate the "homeless" prime minister.After entering 12, Konoe Fumimaro spent most of his time in this "new official residence" with a solid air defense bunker, but it was rare to go to the downtown area of ​​Tokyo to make a fake inspection of the latest bombed neighborhood. Now that the inspection has just ended, they are preparing to rush back to attend the emergency meeting at the base camp.

The prime minister who is not yet 50 years old now has gray hair all over his head, and even the mustache that looks like a toothbrush is also gray. His face is full of exhaustion and exhaustion, but he is still energetic, just like the current Japanese Empire Same!Obviously there is no cure, but they still have to pretend that a turning point is coming. The newspapers and the loudspeakers in the streets and alleys are full of good news about the turning point of the war situation all day long, and the people who listen to it are completely numb.But what about the actual situation?The thing Konoe Fumimaro is most afraid of now is to watch the daily battle summary!

According to the report sent this morning, there are about 100 million North Korean troops left, divided into four isolated strongholds that cannot be contacted at all: Pyongyang, Wonsan, Busan, and Jeju Island.Even Seoul, the former capital of North Korea, has been occupied by the Chinese army after the Incheon landing!In addition, there are about 100 million Korean expatriates and Koreans loyal to the emperor with them.These four isolated strongholds, except for Jeju Island, which was isolated because of the loss of sea control, the remaining three cities have been surrounded by Chinese troops.The Chinese general attack is estimated to be in January or early February... The army has vowed to stick to it for at least 6 months to buy time for the deployment of a decisive domestic war. I'm afraid the time to stick to it has to be discounted by half, right?

Thinking of this, Fumimaro Konoe sighed softly, and muttered in a low voice: "It's already a miracle that it lasts for three months. It would be great if those guys in the Army can be more realistic."

"Your Excellency, the current situation can no longer rely on the army alone to defend Japan." Secretary Ozaki Hidemi sitting next to Konoe looked at the tired Prime Minister, gritted his teeth and continued: "What Japan is facing is the crisis of the whole nation. crisis, only by mobilizing all possible forces to participate in the war of resistance, can the country survive this disaster.”

Konoe glanced at Ozaki beside him, and said indifferently: "What do those red elements say? Are they willing to give up their stand against the government and pledge their allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor?"

It turns out that Ozaki Hideshi was dispatched by Konoe to meet with Tokuda Kyuichi, the representative of the Japanese Communist Party who secretly sneaked into Japan after the Korean War took a turn for the worse, to discuss the issue of joint resistance.However, the talks between the two sides got stuck on a key issue, that is the emperor system of the Japanese Empire!The Japanese Communist Party agreed to participate in the war to defend the Japanese homeland, but they did not agree to be loyal to the Emperor of Japan, and this is something that the Japanese military and political leaders are absolutely unwilling to compromise!

Ozaki Hidemi shook his head and sighed: "Your Excellency, now we don't agree with the Reds to participate in the War of Resistance, so they won't participate? It's fine if we can hold back the Chinese army. If not, the Chinese successfully landed in Japan. , the whole situation is completely chaotic! If the red elements want to profit from the chaos, it is not easy to open up a few base areas. Therefore, we might as well..."

"Stop talking! This matter is over." Konoe Fumimaro waved his hand and interrupted Ozaki. The emperor system is also the bottom line in Konoe's heart, although he himself doesn't think much of the one that takes Japan step by step. Emperor Hirohito who led to destruction, but ran away by himself.

The car had already driven into the new Prime Minister's residence. Through the car window, Konoe saw Foreign Minister Matoku Togo and several officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs waiting in the courtyard of the residence. When he saw the Prime Minister's car, he immediately surrounded him. .Konoe was slightly taken aback, as soon as the car door was opened, Togo Matoku's almost weeping voice came in.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister! Good news! Good news! Ambassador Matsuoka has found a way to negotiate peace, and the Japanese Empire will be saved! It will be saved!"

……

Taipei, Japanese Front Army Headquarters.

"Mr. Jie, Mr. Bei is already waiting for you in the hall, do you want to meet him right away?" Zhang Qun's voice rang in Chiang Kai-shek's ear, pulling Lao Jiang out of his thoughts, who was studying the map of Japan with his head down.There is also a copy of the telegram on his desk, which was sent back from Petersburg by Soong Meiling and Chen Lifu.The telegram explained to him in detail the meeting with Japanese special envoy Yosuke Matsuoka.Matsuoka Yosuke said during the negotiations that the East Australia issue can be discussed, but only if the North Korean side can cease the war first.

Looking up at Zhang Qun, who was dressed in dust and dust, Lao Jiang smiled slightly, and raised his hand to signal Zhang Qun to sit down and said, "Yue Jun, you have worked hard all the way. How is Mr. Bei? I didn't encounter anything when I came to Taiwan from Okinawa. Dangerous?"

"Thanks to Mr. Jie, everything went smoothly. Friends from the Black Dragon Association provided convenience, and there were members of the Restoration Comrade Association among the Japanese troops stationed in Okinawa, so Bei Yihui's itinerary was very smooth." Zhang Qun took out from the briefcase He took out a handwritten document and placed it in front of Chiang Kai-shek. "Jiegong, this is the minutes of the meeting between Beizhi and Mr. Bei Yihui on the fishing boat, please read it."

"What's the content? You can just say it." Lao Jiang put the file in the drawer of the desk casually, and then looked at Zhang Qun with a smile.Zhang Qun nodded and said: "Mr. Bei Yihui hopes that the national government can issue a statement on the settlement of the Japan issue, guarantee Japan's independence and territorial integrity, and stop the bombing of the Japanese mainland, and announce that it is willing to cooperate with those who pursue the Sino-Japanese friendly policy." The new Japanese government cooperated, and those responsible for the war were also handled by the new Japanese government. In addition, Mr. Bei also verbally stated that the issues of East Australia, the Japanese Philippines, and the Japanese East India were not under the control of the new government he could establish. Therefore, no agreement can be reached with us on these areas."

"Okay, okay, you've done a good job. This summary can be used as the basis for our cooperation with Bei Yihui." Lao Jiang was relieved when he heard the other party's offer, and at the same time couldn't help but praise him in his heart Take a look at Kita Ikki's political wisdom.This guy is indeed an "old revolutionary" who participated in the Revolution of [-]. He knows what problems can be dealt with and what problems need to be avoided.Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek stood up, adjusted his military uniform, and said to Zhang Qun: "Then I will go and meet the famous Bei Yihui, the future president of the Republic of Japan!"

Zhang Qun smiled and said: "What kind of president, it's not all about Jie Gong's words."

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head with a smile: "Yue Jun, the surname of the Republic of China is Luo, not Jiang. Well, let's not talk about this, go and see Bei Yihui."

In the spacious reception room of the Front Army Command, there were already quite a few people sitting here and there.There are officers of the Chinese National Defense Forces, and there are those dressed as businessmen in suits and leather shoes.And those in suits are headed by a middle-aged man with a moustache, a thin figure, and a pair of rimless glasses. Several people sit on either side of this man, looking nervously at the room Chinese military officers in theAs the door of the living room was pushed open by two guards, everyone in the living room stood up.Then I saw Chiang Kai-shek coming in with a breezy face. As soon as he entered the door, he walked straight to the polite middle-aged man and greeted him loudly: "Mr. Bei! I have known you for a long time. It is a great fortune to meet you today."
