The young man seemed to be drunk, waving his hands in the air, staring straight at the emperor, and stumbling towards the emperor with chaotic steps.Seeing that the gendarmes were not far away from him, he stopped, hugged himself tightly with both hands, trembling and shouted: "Don't grab me! Don't grab me!"

It was crazy, and there was a burst of laughter from the crowd, but people kept their mouths shut as it seemed that laughter was not the right thing to do on this occasion.No one expected that the young man suddenly pulled out a short gun from his arms!

boom!A gunshot shocked everyone, and Hirohito could clearly hear the sound of bullets flying past his ears, "Assassins! There are assassins!" He squatted on the ground and shouted loudly, ignoring the majesty of the emperor.After all, no matter how majestic it is, it is not as good as your own life.

"Catch him quickly! What are you doing there!" The Guards officer roared, and the gendarmes woke up from their astonishment.

"Come on! Let's see what the Konoe government has made of Japan!" The young man regained his insane temperament and threw a stack of printed materials into the air. The wind blowing from the west swept these The paper blows away.The young man was quickly knocked down, with a tired smile on his face.

Hirohito picked up a stack of leaflets and looked at them. It accused the government of launching a stupid war that pushed Japan to the brink of destruction. An explanation from the people.

Hirohito was furious, and gritted his teeth and said to Konoe Fummo: "This person is a scum of the Yamato nation. Does he want to represent all Japanese people alone? It is absolutely impossible. The vast majority of Japanese people support the government. The Great Japanese Empire It will always be monolithic. There is no need to interrogate anything, this man must have been bewitched by the Chinese to betray his own country, shoot him, immediately!"

"Crack, crack..." Several gunshots rang out, and this "scumbag" was shot dead on the spot.

Emperor Hirohito was not much affected by this incident. He raised Konoe Fummo's hand high with both hands, and said to thousands of Japanese citizens: "I swear here, I swear to live and die with Tokyo! The Empire of Japan It is invincible!"

"Swear to live and die with Tokyo! Swear to live and die with His Majesty the Emperor!" The Japanese in the square raised their arms and shouted, and the people seemed to be crazy, crying and crying loudly.

Back in the inner palace, the emperor’s face was not so kind. He sat on the throne and angrily scolded Fumma Konoe and the others: “Before the war, you swore that you would unite with North Korea to defeat China. What is the result now? What I want is the result.” !Bastard!"

Konoe Fumma leaned down very low, facing the floor and sighed heavily, complaining in his heart: It was also your permission to launch a war against China, and now it is all my mistake.

"Now, you have to come up with a plan. In short, I don't want the damned Chinese to appear on Japan's soil!" The emperor roared hysterically: "If you can't do it, I will dissolve the cabinet government and re-elect a worthy People with abilities. Bastards! Bastards! Bastards!"

Konoe Fummo was scolded for his bloody sprayer, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. He swept his eyes and saw Lu Xiang Hideki Tojo lying on the left, and said to Hirohito: "Your Majesty, the general policy of fighting against China is Tojo-kun. I strongly advocate the proposal, I think it is time for him to come up with a defense plan?"

Hirohito put his eyes on Hideki Tojo's face, and said in a deep voice: "Hideki Tojo, tell me, I remember that you were the most confident minister before the war started."

"What Your Majesty said is that the glory of the Great Japanese Empire cannot be destroyed in our hands." Hideki Tojo's tone is still sonorous and powerful, "Now that the navy is newly defeated, the Chinese army should soon start attacking Nagasaki , or even directly attack Tokyo, these, we should do a good job of defense. In terms of foreign affairs, foreign ministers should work hard to win the support of the German Nazis. Please believe in Tojo for the last time, His Majesty the Emperor, Tojo will definitely not let Tokyo, let His Majesty, let The Great Japanese Empire has been humiliated. As soldiers of the empire, sometimes we have to have the courage to do something extraordinary—like jumping off the platform of Kiyomizu Temple, just close our eyes." Tojo means It is I who will defend Japan with my death.

The emperor had closed his eyes at this moment, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Konoe Fummo raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet government has an unshirkable responsibility for the failure of the Korean War. Therefore, I request that the government be dissolved and Your Majesty choose someone else."

Hirohito slowly opened his eyes, looked at Fumma Konoe and said, "Well, since you can't take on this important task, Hideki Tojo will take your job."

Fummo Konoe finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to take on this mess anymore, and he couldn't stand Hideki Tojo's arrogance. He just took this opportunity to hand over the mess to that idiot, and he lost in the Korean War. After that, he said to his confidants more than once: "Japan, which is on the verge of war, needs a fool who lands mines as a sign, and Hideki Tojo is the best candidate."

After this imperial meeting, the Konoe Fummo Cabinet was announced to be disbanded, and Hideki Tojo served as the prime minister of the new government. Integrating various powers in one body, he became the new real power leader of Japan.

After the cabinet was formed, Hideki Tojo urgently summoned a group of confidants such as Iida Shojiro, Honma Masahiro, Imamura Jun, and Yamashita Fengfumi to discuss the combat policy.

The tone of the strategy is very simple. Since part of the army has been corrupted, without the support of the navy in the Hokkaido War, the two northern divisions led by Prince Akihito Komatsu are almost irreparable, and there is basically no hope of winning.

It is worth noting that there are three army mixed divisions with 5000 people on the front line of Nagasaki and Kyushu Island, which are the essence of the Imperial Army. Two divisions must be recovered to Tokyo as soon as possible, and one division should be left behind. Mobilize armed civilians to form a Nagasaki garrison of 2 people.

In this way, the tightening of the defense circle is basically completed. Around the capital of Tokyo, 13 defensive troops will be deployed. At the same time, wartime military service will be launched, and 15 to [-] new soldiers will be urgently armed. It is impossible for the Chinese to pose a threat to Tokyo. Substantial threat.

Of course, preparations must be made in Tokyo Bay. If necessary, the remaining naval forces will be urgently used to complete the task of densely laying mines, hoping to minimize the huge threat China's maritime superiority poses to Tokyo.

The emperor also delivered a national speech the next day, calling on all Japanese citizens to prepare for the resistance to aggression for the Empire of Japan, and to fight against the Chinese people who plotted against Japan.

The sun shone on the jagged, satin-like sea. A huge fleet of more than forty ships was slowly heading east. This was the first Chinese fleet to sail from this continent to the Japanese mainland.

"Fishing with anger, leaning on the railing, resting in the rain. Looking up, looking up to the sky and screaming, with strong ambitions. Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of road clouds and moons. Don't wait for nothing, the boy's head is white, empty grief! Jingkang shame, It’s still snowing; when will the hatred of the courtiers disappear? Drive a long car and step through the gaps in Helan Mountain. The ambition is to eat the meat of the barbarians hungry, and talk about drinking the blood of the Xiongnu with a smile. Wait for the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and go to the sky!” This time the vice president of the Imperial Navy Department Chief of Staff Deng Shichang personally led a Nanyang Fleet to Nagasaki Port to support the Beiyang Fleet staying there.In the command room of the flagship Zhonghua 2 on which he was traveling, there was the song Manjianghong written by the emperor.He solemnly read out the poem, looked at Zhang Zuolin solemnly and said, "Yuting, you and I have different paths by sea and land, but the emperor's hope is the same. This song Man Jianghong is imperial system, is When the emperor left for the expedition, each word was written by the emperor's royal pen, representing the emperor's ardent hope, and Deng dared not forget the slightest bit."

When Zhang Zuolin heard the word "imperial system", his expression became serious. He bowed respectfully to the word for a few times, then cupped his hands and said to Deng Shichang: "Zuolin also dare not forget the holy family for a moment. Zuolin will do his best. Let Master Deng drive."

"Yuting is too modest." Deng Shichang smiled and said: "In this battle against Japan, Deng is in charge of the navy, and Yuting is in charge of the army. You and I work together in a division of labor, and there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates. Haha. Yuting's recent victory, the emperor I'm afraid that Yuting will lose his motivation to lead the army, so let me show you this poem. You and I will work together to destroy the pirates and repay the grace of the saint. What an honor it is. The emperor can put such an important Entrusting the errand to us also shows the emperor's trust in us, if you and I can make such a great achievement, how can we be shocked even if we die?"

"Deng Gongjiao regrets it." Zhang Zuolin's eyes lit up when he heard this, he got up, and solemnly knelt down to the west: "My minister, Zhang Zuolin, is willing to assist Deng Gong in making this peerless feat. If there is any neglect, I will accept the thunder." punishment."

Hearing this, Deng Shichang didn't dare to sit any longer. He got up and went to Zhang Zuolin's side and said, "Yuting doesn't need to be humble. Deng's virtue is superficial, so how dare he surpass Yuting. But this time, the emperor ordered me to report to Yuting. Pass the decree, kneel down and receive it..."

Zhang Zuolin straightened his clothes, knelt down again and said, "My minister Zhang Zuolin accepts the order."

"Zhang Zuolin, commander-in-chief of the Japanese hunting team, defeated the Japanese pirates, raised the country's prestige in the sea, and fought hard to pacify the barbarians. He was promoted to the rank of general of the second rank. After winning, there will be other rewards. Every soldier of the Japanese hunting team should be a meritorious soldier." Zhang Zuolin This is the report." After Deng Shichang announced the decree, he helped Zhang Zuolin up with his own hands, handed over a cup of tea and said: "Yuting, the emperor is very kind, and we as ministers can only be smashed to pieces to repay the king's kindness. According to your current Official position, the emperor made an exception to grant you the rank of second-level general. You are in your prime, and it is a good time to make contributions. When I, Mr. Deng, was just a naval officer when I was your age, it shows how much the emperor regards you. .”

"My minister, Zhang Zuolin, thank you for the emperor's kindness! What Deng Gong said is very true, Zuolin understands." Zhang Zuolin got up and said: "Deng Gong is a role model for my generation of soldiers. The cooperation between you and me, land and sea, can solve the emperor's urgent needs and share the emperor's worries."

Deng Shichang nodded and said: "Yuting, you are welcome. Don't mention the word Deng Gong anymore. Deng has made some minor achievements over the years. The emperor has favored my family. Deng is just worried. When the time comes, it is time to serve the emperor. Yuting, let's encourage each other."

Two hands clenched together, facing east.

To the east is Nagasaki Sasebo Port, which is directly facing the course of the fleet. Fang Boqian, the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, originally proposed to correct the course and attack Tokyo directly, but Deng Shichang declined. The reason is very simple. Tokyo is heavily guarded by Japanese, so it is not easy to launch a ground attack.If there is a slight failure, I am afraid that I will be in debt to the king.Moreover, the meaning of the emperor before the expedition was very clear. Nagasaki and Kyushu Island were the first stops for this expedition.

The port of Nagasaki is not peaceful either. Tsuboi Kozo is pacing up and down angrily in the Sasebo Naval Port Command. The order from the Tokyo headquarters has just arrived. The division and the Odera Yasujun division will return to Tokyo immediately. Naval ships from the Tokyo Garrison Fleet and merchant ships from Mitsubishi have gathered in the Bungo Waterway, waiting to transport the two divisions back to Tokyo.In this way, the number of soldiers guarding Nagasaki is only more than [-] people combined by the Yamane Nobushin Division and the original town soldiers.

It was not only this that annoyed him, but also the annihilation of the standing fleet and the incompetent Navy Minister Yamamoto 56.According to the voyage log of the chief engineer of the Mutsu, Nimori Tomoro, it is proved that the Minister of the Navy did not order the United Fleet to escape at the critical moment, causing the fleet to be attacked by the opponent's large-scale air strikes one after another, and was also attacked by the main submarine of Beiyang when returning to the voyage. ambush.Although Yamamoto 56 had died in the service of the country, Nemori Zhilang presented extremely strong evidence to prove that the destruction of the combined fleet was caused by Yamamoto 56's wrong command.

Of course, Nimori Zhilang regretted that he had not submitted his warning to the Ministry of the Navy earlier, which caused the country to suffer such a huge loss, and deeply regretted his hesitation, which caused the national destiny of Japan to be lost at the sight of the bet. The hope of winning, if he exposes it earlier, the standing fleet may wipe out the Beiyang fleet.

On this day, according to the consultation decision made by Tsuboi Kozo and Yamane Nobuyuki, the troops should be reduced to defend Nagasaki Castle with all their strength, and street battles should be used to reflect the bravery and pride of the Japanese Army. The remaining iconic battleship Kongo of the Japanese Navy, It should also leave Nagasaki in time and join the garrison fleet to dedicate its strength to the Tokyo land and sea offensive that may soon come.

So, early in the morning, King Kong's boilers were already burning.Ten minutes later, the King Kong ship gradually disappeared from Tsuboi Kozo's sight. Tsuboi Kozo sighed deeply and gave the order to abandon the port.

Hundreds of port soldiers and servants reluctantly left their positions where they had worked for several years, and retreated towards Nagasaki City, where they would fight against the main force of the Beiyang Fleet. Looking back, I lamented in my heart, maybe I will never have to come back again.

"Shina ship!" The sharp-eyed man spotted the huge fleet shrouded in black smoke on the southwest sea, a heavy artillery shell exploded beside him, and the huge air wave brought his fragmented body into the sky. The expression remained on his incomplete face.

The prelude to the offensive and defensive battle of Nagasaki slowly opened.

"Quick! Quick!" From time to time, such panicked shouts could be heard from the accelerating crowd.

The eight 1 heavy guns on the Zhonghua No. 305 ship staying at the mouth of Nagasaki Harbor sent the shells to the shore in turn, while the rest of the ships took turns attacking the unmanned coastal defense forts. This was a waste of shells, so they also aimed their artillery fire at the rushing crowd on the shore.

"Change the incendiary bomb!" Lin Tai once directed the gun position through the copper pipe.

"Yes." The gunners were very excited when they heard that they were going to replace the new shells made by the Hanyang Arsenal. The lower shell extraction device extracts the shells from the deck below.

fire!Every round of artillery fire can throw dozens of incendiary bombs into the crowd. In this scene, the Chinese sailors had a thrill of killing people, especially when they saw the Japanese soldiers on the shore shouting with burning flames. It's like being addicted to opium.

Lin Tai once watched the gunpowder smoke and fire rising from the shore with piercing eyes. This was a cruel one-sided massacre. He yawned, perhaps because he couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and said to the first officer: "Master Deng's fleet When can I arrive?"

"It may take more than an hour." The first officer said in a new wave, watching the thrilling scene on the shore.

"I'll go to sleep for a while, and wake me up in a quarter of an hour." Lin Taizeng couldn't even open his eyes. Before the war started, he studied the balance of power between the two sides and the battle plan. I didn't close my eyes all night, but now that the war is about to start, I have lost the suspense. I don't seem to care about the outcome of the battle. At this juncture, I go to sleep with my head covered.

The first mate looked at the tired look of the old man, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll report the good news to you in a quarter of an hour."

In fact, it didn't take a quarter of an hour at all. Such a superior sea artillery fire caused shocking damage to the people on the ground. There were more than [-] people in the port defense and logistics troops, and all the more than [-] people who were trapped behind the narrow road were all behind. Turning into black charcoal, on the wide field from the Sasebo Naval Port to Nagasaki Castle, under the sporadic flames, there was a burst of scorching smell, and sections of black charcoal were still alive and kicking ten minutes ago.

"Send a letter to Nagasaki City to persuade you to surrender?" A quarter of an hour later, Liu Guanxiong, chief of staff of the Beiyang Fleet, woke up Lin Taizeng and reported the attack on the shore. In the command room, he discussed with Lin Taizeng.

Lin Tai once witnessed the huge lethality of incendiary bombs on skirmishers through binoculars. He immediately regained his spirits, nodded and said: "You mean, I also have this idea. Nagasaki City is within the range of my artillery fire. It is easy to set fire to Nagasaki. But in this way, I am afraid it will have a certain impact on our army's landing troops."
