Republic of China game

Seeing that the iron army in front of him was ready, all the tanks and powerful artillery had been activated, puffs of white smoke sprayed out from the exhaust pipe and filled the entire desert, and the deafening roar of motors resounded through the sky.Hu Lian knew that the time for the general attack was approaching, so he raised his wrist and checked the time.The hour and minute hands on the watch were pointing to the position of Roman numeral 12, and he waved his hand with a straight face: "Fire!"

The staff officers beside him immediately picked up the microphone of the radio station and issued an order that symbolized the broken dream of mainland Japan.Immediately, a puff of white smoke rose from the position of the entire self-propelled artillery group, and then there was the roar of the shells ejected.A series of lightning-like flames pierced the sky, issued piercing screams, and rushed towards the thin Japanese defense line.

The shells exploded on the opposite front, and there was a sea of ​​flames in a blink of an eye. At the same time, the roar of a huge motor came from the air and the ground at the same time, and the whole earth seemed to be shrouded in a loud noise that shook the ground!

The Chinese army launched a general offensive in Australia!

……

"The defense line of the New Japanese Front Army was broken by the Chinese army!" At the emergency meeting at the base camp, Lieutenant General Toshishiro Obata of the Army Staff Headquarters listlessly read the urgent defeat from the front line.However, all the Japanese civil and military officials present here have completely numb expressions.At this point in the war, everyone knew that the Japanese Empire was over, and it was not surprising to hear such bad news. If there was no bad news someday, it would make people suspicious.

"Is there any order from His Majesty?" Konoe Fumimaro waved his hand and directly interrupted Xiaobata's report. There is no suspense about the ending of the New Japanese Front Army!Placing hundreds of thousands of troops on the Great Victoria Desert and the Nullarbor Plain... Even a layman like Jinwei knew after the Korean War that this arrangement was asking for death, but so what?Adjust the deployment on the front line where millions of troops confront each other?Abandon the original position and retreat hundreds of kilometers to Flinders Ridge?Maybe let the armored troops of the Chinese army chase after them, and the whole army will collapse!So everyone, including the New Japanese Front Army, simply stopped thinking about this issue...

Rikamotomiya, who served as the emperor's mouthpiece, nodded with a wry smile: "His Majesty's order is for us to negotiate with the German side and urge them to fulfill the previous agreement...to provide us with 50 kilograms of high-enriched uranium-235 for making uranium bombs. In addition, the local side is required to stick to it for 6 months anyway to buy time for the manufacture of uranium bombs."

Konoe Fumimaro was stunned for a moment, and thought, "This god really knows how to make wishful thinking. At this time, he still wants to get raw materials for making uranium bombs from the Germans."

He shook his head and turned to Foreign Minister Matoku Togo: "Mr. Togo, let Ambassador Oshima negotiate with the German side. By the way, are Ambassador Matsuoka's negotiations with the Chinese side still ongoing?"

Togo Matoku said weakly and coldly: "The negotiation with Germany will be arranged immediately. Ambassador Matsuoka is still in contact with the Chinese side... The latest condition from the Chinese side is that our country's territory will be limited to the four mainland islands. In addition They also demanded that troops be stationed in the Japanese archipelago. Our navy will be disbanded, and our army can only be kept at a minimum size. It cannot have advanced weapons such as aircraft and tanks. In addition... In addition, His Majesty the Emperor must also retire! The current cabinet must also resign The new emperor candidate must obtain the consent of China, and the new cabinet members must also obtain the consent of China. However, we are allowed to deal with the person responsible for the war. , so there are not many responsible persons in Japan).”

The meeting room suddenly fell silent. Although the conditions proposed by China were harsh, they were not unacceptable...at least everyone's glory and wealth can be preserved after accepting it.It's just a country that is occupied by China, and even the emperor must be approved by China, will there be a day of revival?Perhaps the fate of the merger of Japan and South Korea will eventually fall on Japan itself?Who would be happy with such a result?Several representatives of the army and navy all sighed and shed tears, and none of them dared to say "agreed."

If it weren't for the terrible "uranium bomb", the military representative would dare to speak hard, but now... the latest casualties of the North Korean army under the three "uranium bombs" yesterday have reached more than 40!How many uranium bombs can Japan's so-called 600 million army and 800 million reserve soldiers be worth?According to the latest data provided by Germany, there are still ten or eight uranium bombs owned by the Chinese!And their isotope separation plant can produce at least 30 kilograms of weapons-grade uranium-235 every month!The result of persevering can only be the destruction of the Japanese nation!This result is probably worse than the Sino-Japanese merger, right?

I don’t know how much time has passed, the Minister of War Nagata Tieshan suddenly let out a long sigh, and said, “Why don’t we ask Ambassador Oshima to ask the German side, if they are unwilling to fulfill the agreement to increase uranium-235, we will Accept China's conditions and preserve the vitality of the Japanese nation."

Konoe Fumimaro took another look at Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen, whose eyes were red, his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were still trembling slightly: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

At this moment, Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak. He just nodded stiffly and burst into tears...

……

Germany, Berlin, Chancellery.

"...At present, the isotope separation plant in Thuringia has been fully put into operation. More than 10000 gas diffusion machines are working 24 hours a day. The entire production process is exactly the same as the isotope separation plant in China. Starting from February, each At least 2 kilograms of weapons-grade uranium-30 can be obtained every month, and Germany’s first atomic bomb test will be carried out before the end of May this year. In addition, the Junkers Ju-235 heavy bomber used to drop the atomic bomb has been developed. Twelve Ju-5s have been equipped with the Air Force, and the construction of a large military airport in Puerto Rico is underway. By the beginning of June at the latest, we will be able to drop an atomic bomb on the United States!"

The speaker was the new Minister of Armaments and Wartime Production of the Third Reich, Albert Hipper.In this time and space, he was directly responsible for the German atomic bomb project.After the Chinese side sent copies of the filmstrips of the photos taken after the nuclear explosions in Pyongyang, Busan, and Wonsan to Berlin for Hitler to appreciate, Hipper was immediately called into the meeting room of the Prime Minister’s Office .

Unlike usual, today's German head of state behaved very calmly. He didn't interject a word during the whole reporting process. After waiting for Hipper to close the folder, Hitler waved him to sit down without asking any questions.

"My Führer," Hipper just sat down, and German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop immediately stood up.He bowed slightly to the dictator of the Third Reich before reporting: "This afternoon, Japanese Ambassador Hirochu Oshima made a request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that our country implement the "Germany-Japan Technical Cooperation Agreement" regarding the provision of 50 kilograms of weapons. The agreement to provide Japan with high-grade uranium-235. And Ambassador Oshima also tactfully stated that if my country refuses to provide these uranium-3 within 235 months, then Japan will consider withdrawing from the war.”

Hearing this, Hitler's mustache moved slightly, showing a wry smile: "These Japanese...haven't given up at this point, they are really a bunch of stubborn guys." He glanced at the man sitting on his left. Fat Goering. "Herman, what do you think? Should we find a way to mediate the Sino-Japanese war again?"

The fat man smiled slightly and shrugged his shoulders: "My head of state, the Sino-Japanese war has progressed to this point, and Japan has actually perished! Why do we need to provide precious uranium-235 to a country that is about to perish? 50 A kilogram of weapons-grade uranium-235 is not a small amount."

"The Imperial Marshal is right. We don't have much weapon-grade uranium-235 in our hands, and the United States is also going all out to develop the atomic bomb. If they get ahead, we may be forced to retreat from the Americas." Keitel, Chief of the Army's General Staff, thought for a while, and then continued: "And if we set a precedent for providing weapons-grade uranium-235 to Japan, will China provide the same thing to Russia or the United Kingdom?"

Hitler nodded slightly. Keitel's worries were not unreasonable. Compared with China, which has a vast territory and does not have any threatening powers around its core area, the surrounding environment of Germany is not very ideal.Countries such as Russia, the United Kingdom, France, and even Italy, although they regard Germany as the leader, each has its own small calculations. I am afraid that they are all planning to obtain nuclear weapons to get rid of Germany's control, right?

"But once Japan withdraws from the war, we will face the United States alone." Foreign Minister Ribbentrop shook his head and put forward a different view: "And those countries in South America will definitely reconsider their position. Our war in America is very bad."

"What else can Japan do for Germany? Even if they have the atomic bomb, it's just a bargaining chip with China, and it's just a little less to lose." Fat Goering said here with a contemptuous expression on his face, he smiled and said : "Besides, it is not Japan that will determine the outcome of the American War, but the atomic bomb! As long as we can have the atomic bomb before the United States, we will win!" Goering waved his arms vigorously, stood up and shouted: "We can destroy the whole of America with atomic bombs! They can only surrender! Only surrender!"

"But what if...the United States has the atomic bomb first?" Ribbentrop frowned and reminded in a low voice: "Although the United States does not have an air force base that can reach Germany, they may still bomb Puerto Rico and German military bases on the Virgin Islands, so that we temporarily have no bases that can threaten the mainland of the United States. Even... our war with the United States can only end in a draw!"

"Then what role can Japan play?" Goering asked rhetorically.

"If the German Empire has no way to eliminate the United States, the future world will be divided into three giants, China, the United States, and Germany." Ribbentrop said after deliberation: "And among these three world empires, China's The geographical situation is the best, the land area is the largest, the resources are the most abundant, and the population is the largest! Although their industry and science and technology are far behind Germany, they will definitely become a strong opponent for Germany to lead the world in the future! Therefore, we need A force to keep China in check, and Japan seems to be the only possible option at the moment."

Hitler nodded slightly. China now has three major neighbors, Russia, Japan, and India.Among them, Russia is also a neighboring country of Germany, and the European part of Russia is very close to the core of Germany. On the contrary, the Sino-Russian border is a large area of ​​inaccessible land with harsh natural conditions, so supporting Russia is definitely a double-edged sword, even for Germany. The damage is far greater than that of China!India was originally a good choice, but now this country is still fighting endless civil wars, and she is surrounded by Chinese forces, so Germany can't do much.In this way, Japan has indeed become the only choice, but now the Japanese mainland may soon be occupied by China...

"Head of State, even if Japan is occupied by China, it may become a quagmire that continuously consumes China's power! As long as the Japanese emperor can continue to remotely command domestic resistance forces in Hawaii or other places." Ribbentrop smiled, Then he said to Hitler: "Now we must make a gesture of not abandoning Japan, encourage Japan to build Hawaii into the last bastion, and support the Japanese government in launching a guerrilla war against China. We can even promise to come forward after the end of the US-Germany War. Interfering in the Sino-Japanese war...Of course, the premise is that this war is not over, even if it continues in the guerrilla warfare situation. As for Japan's request for uranium-235, we can find ways to perfunctory, such as helping them in the Hawaii building some facilities to produce uranium-235 or something..."

Chapter 0979 Japan's "February Revolution" ([-]) The dawn of world peace?

February 1940, 2, South Pacific.

The azure sea surface was broken right in front of the spoon-shaped bow of the Nagato battleship. Under the moonlight, the hull of more than 4 tons was undulating, but there was no light shining through.The flagship of the Japanese United Fleet is now escorted by a light aircraft carrier, a light cruiser, and four destroyers, and is heading northeast at a high speed of 25 knots.

In the luxurious officer's lounge of the Nagato, the Japanese Emperor Hirohito sat on the throne with no expression on his face, watching his civil and military officials whispering about the future of the Great Japanese Empire, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.

It has been 10 days since I received the request from the cabinet still in Tokyo to "Please Your Majesty decide whether to accept the peace terms proposed by China".However, His Majesty the Emperor has not yet given any formal answer, but two days ago, he led a group of important ministers and Japanese military and political officials who followed him to the New Japan State to board the battleship Nagato and head to Guxuan The Hawaiian Islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean!Perhaps this is the best answer to the cabinet meeting?

The Hawaiian Islands seem to be the last support of the Great Japanese Empire.Beginning on January 1th, China's Australian front army launched a textbook-style war of annihilation against the new Japanese front army. The long and continuous line of defense laid down by King Asaka Palace Jinhiko, under the impact of 15 tanks and strong artillery, basically It's vulnerable!The first wave of assault by the Chinese Second Armored Army shattered the defense of the Japanese Third Army, and then swept the entire Japanese defense line from the side. Cooperating with the equally powerful First Armored Army, the Japanese Second Army defending the front of the Nullarbor Plain Here comes a back and forth attack!It only took more than ten days to defeat all the more than 4000 Japanese troops in 16 divisions, and now they have pursued all the way to Flinders Ridge!

In this battle known as the "South Australia" campaign in history, the performance of the Japanese army has no bright spots, and it has not even shown the tenacity and tenacity that it has been proud of in the past!Especially after the line of defense was torn apart by the Chinese armored forces, the heavy soldiers of the 16 divisions didn't even have the will to defend themselves as a group. Instead, they left their positions and abandoned countless heavy weapons and supplies. Honor fled in a hurry... As a result, thousands of Chinese tanks led hundreds of thousands of troops and chased them all the way. Less than 10 troops fled back to the east of Flinders Ridge!

Both sides of the highway from Forrest to Dongao are full of weapons and materials abandoned by the Japanese army, corpses in pieces, and even countless wounded and sick people who lost their will and mental breakdown. Japanese officers and soldiers, as well as comfort women accompanying the army!However, contrary to the previous practice of preferring death to surrender, these Japanese soldiers did not choose to commit suicide or resist when the Chinese army approached. Instead, they sat in piles with numb expressions, waiting for the Chinese army to capture them.

Soon a long line of Japanese prisoners of war that could not be seen was walking along the road towards Western Australia... Such a scene was photographed by Chinese military reporters and printed on the leaflets. Long-range bombers were used to sprinkle every city in mainland Japan, and even the residents of New Tokyo (Sydney), the capital of New Japan, saw the end of their army.According to post-war statistics, in this battle, the Australian Front Army captured nearly 7 Japanese prisoners. In addition, nearly 3 Japanese comfort women were captured.

After this war, although the so-called New Japanese Front Army still has a total strength of more than 40, its essence has been completely lost!Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before Eastern Australia is completely occupied by China.

And the German head of state's reply to Japan's request for assistance with uranium-235 was brought to "New Tokyo" by German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop in person after the overall situation of the South Australia campaign had been decided.Ribbentrop took an ultra-long-range Fw-200 passenger plane to detour to South America, French Polynesia, and New Caledonia to fly to New Tokyo.

Along with Ribbentrop came the Japanese ambassador to Germany Hiroshi Oshima and a document called "Yamato National Fortress Plan".The core idea of ​​this document is that the Japanese Emperor Hirohito led a group of elites of the Yamato nation to retreat to the Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and insisted on fighting against China and the United States with the aid of Germany!At the same time, Emperor Hirohito and the Japanese government can also control the local resistance movement in the Hawaiian Islands, consume China's power, and strive for the liberation of the Japanese nation...

Seeing such a plan, Japan and the important ministers around the emperor were arguing in a mess.The "old Japanese faction" warlords and politicians headed by the Minister of War Nagata Tieshan naturally firmly opposed this plan to flee to the Hawaiian Islands, and believed that the "peace conditions" proposed by China could be accepted, and at least they should go further on this condition diplomatic efforts.The current war has completely failed, and what the Japanese government can do is to preserve the vitality of the country as much as possible, instead of using "guerrilla warfare" or "resistance movements" to confront China.

As for the "New Japan faction" who proposed the "relocation plan", their performance is very contradictory.On the one hand, they are firmly opposed to surrendering to China, because that would mean that China will eventually control the fate of Japan!On the one hand, they don't have much confidence in escaping to such a small place as the Hawaiian Islands.Not to mention whether the Chinese will hunt down and uproot the so-called last bastion of the Japanese nation, it is a big question how many Japanese people this archipelago with a land area of ​​only more than 6000 square kilometers can support question mark.

And what did Emperor Hirohito himself think?During this time, as long as the great god of the Japanese Empire closed his eyes, he could see the appearance of the unlucky emperor Li Xi of the "Korean Empire" when he was poisoned to death.Hirohito, who is familiar with Chinese history, believes that even if he renounces the throne of the emperor and abdicates to become an emperor, the brutal Chinese imperialism will never let him go!Moreover, the Chinese side has stated that the new emperor must be approved by them, which means that the possibility of his son Prince Akihito ascending to the emperor's throne does not exist at all!Not even any direct descendant of Emperor Meiji could become the emperor... So, Hirohito is now sitting on the warship bound for Hawaii.

……

At the same time, in a heavily guarded manor on the outskirts of Wuhan, the capital of China, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce Harry Hopkins, who was secretly visiting China, was having an afternoon meal with Luo Yaoguo and Russian Empress Anastasinia. Tea.

Now the eyes of the whole world have been firmly attracted by the three atomic bombs dropped on the heads of the Japanese and Korean troops.The great president in the White House of the United States (this time and space may not be too great) is no exception.As more and more scenes about the atomic bombings in Pyongyang, Busan, and Wonsan, and the tragic scene after the explosion were disclosed by the Chinese side or the volunteers of the Russian Red Cross (the president is the Russian empress herself) , The whole world was shocked.

According to statistics released by the Russian Red Cross, the three atomic bombings on January 1 killed a total of about 15 Japanese soldiers and 26 Japanese civilians!About 22 Japanese soldiers and civilians were injured!Moreover, these injured soldiers and civilians all contracted strange diseases due to the radiation from the atomic bomb explosion, which are extremely difficult to treat, and it is very likely that they will all die in the next few years!Now these three cities are once again surrounded by the Chinese army. Although the Chinese army has not resumed its offensive, it has cut off the way for medicines and supplies to enter the three cities, and sent a letter of persuasion to the Japanese troops who are defending these three cities .

It's just...does this murderous Marshal Luo Yaoguo really want those hapless Japanese to surrender?Both the Russian Empress and Harry Hopkins were deeply skeptical of this.

There was silence in the living room, and I didn't know how long it had been.The Russian empress who looked at Luo Yaoguo with a little timidity finally put down the small coffee cup in her hand, and said with a sweet smile: "My marshal, as a mutual friend of China and Japan, seeing the situation like this I feel very sad about the situation." Speaking of this, the queen's eye circles turned slightly red, and a layer of mist covered her big eyes, she smiled awkwardly at Luo Yaoguo: "I'm sorry, when I think of those who were tortured by the atomic bomb explosion It's like that... I can't help it anymore. Although those Japanese militarists are self-inflicted, it seems that ordinary Japanese people shouldn't suffer like this anymore. I think you are willing to end their suffering as soon as possible, right? "

Luo Yaoguo smiled lightly, and glanced at the expressionless Hopkins: "That's right, I also think that the atomic bombing on January 1 was a... tragedy, and I don't want such a tragedy to happen in other places in the world." It's happening again."

Hopkins couldn't help frowning slightly, now Germany controls Puerto Rico!It is only more than 1000 kilometers away from Florida, USA, and the German heavy bombers can reach it!Maybe the next one to be hit by an atomic bomb should be the United States.

"Your Majesty the Empress." Hopkins looked at the Russian Empress. The United States and Russia could theoretically be in a state of war, but he, the Minister of Commerce, had already met this female fox twice. It was a bit inconceivable.He paused, and then said: "I heard that you have been mediating the war between China and Japan?"

A strange smile appeared on the face of the Russian Empress: "Mr. Hopkins, I am very willing to play this role of bringing peace to mankind. In fact, the purpose of my coming to China is to seek peace. The power of the atomic bomb we I have seen it all. I don’t think a civilized country like ours would be willing to bear the losses caused by the atomic bomb, right? However, the current situation on the American battlefield seems to be unfavorable to your country. If your country wants to achieve peace... the price is unbearable Avoided."

Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "This female fox seems to have brought Hitler's commission, and I don't know how much benefit Hitler wants to let the United States go?"

Hopkins' heart sank slightly, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to the United States!Germany firmly controls the unsinkable aircraft carrier Puerto Rico. Heavy bombers carrying atomic bombs can cover several states in the southeastern corner of the United States from Puerto Rico, but the United States cannot reach Germany anyway!
