The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

A week passed in a flash, and what happened on Xiangjiang Island did not attract the attention of the outside world.

The Secret Service Bureau and the Party Communications Bureau were unable to contact their agents in Hong Kong, so they could only suspect that their people had been captured by the Japanese.

The killing of foreigners in Hong Kong did not attract the attention of their countries.

Ye Xiaoyang specifically told Teacher Chen to wait a week before sending a telegram to report to his superiors.

Teacher Chen understood what Ye Xiaoyang meant. He was worried that the information would fall into the hands of the Communist Party organization and be leaked.

At the same time, Teacher Chen was also required to restrain the members of the Communist Party organization in Hong Kong, and the focus of their subsequent work was to make money.

By the way, help the Taoist sect to investigate the Secret Service agents and the Party Communication Bureau agents on Xiangjiang Island.

Of course, there are also spies sent to Hong Kong by other countries.

Ye Xiaoyang made it very clear to Teacher Chen that no other spies were allowed to exist on Xiangjiang Island.

Teacher Chen was very touched by this idea, and was glad that he had taken the initiative to apply to work in Hong Kong.

As soon as the required time was up, Teacher Chen reported to his superiors the killing of the Japanese devils on Xiangjiang Island.

The Communist Party’s intelligence center received a telegram from Hong Kong, and the staff immediately delivered the telegram to Li Zaishan.

After reading the intelligence, Li Zaishan was very excited. He didn't expect that Ye Xiaoyang led his brothers to Hong Kong.

The Japanese Empire is on the decline and will surrender soon. Now they are making their last struggle.

In his opinion, if the Japanese continued to struggle, the United States might continue to drop atomic bombs.

Until they surrender completely.

The changes in the future situation that he can see must also be thought of by the senior officials in the Tokyo headquarters.

The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a final ultimatum to the Japanese high-ranking officials, but Tokyo could also be bombed.

Everyone in Tokyo is now in a state of panic. They never dreamed that the United States has such a powerful weapon.

It is chilling to think that an atomic bomb could kill hundreds of thousands or even millions of people at once.

The Tokyo headquarters and their emperor had long since stopped caring about the imperial soldiers fighting overseas.

These nobles were all worried about their future, so they had no time to care about anyone else.

Selfishness is human nature, and scholars are even more selfish. Those who are loyal are often butchers, and those who are unfaithful are often scholars.

Three years ago, the Empire should not have attacked Pearl Harbor. This was their biggest strategic mistake.

I have become my own gravedigger. It is so ironic to think about it. Why should I let that behemoth do that?

In the conference room of the Tokyo headquarters, a group of nobles were holding a meeting.

Ever since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there have been arguments every day in this conference room.

Representatives of the Ito family, Matsushita family, Matsumoto family, Mitsui family, Toyota family, Koizumi family and others are all present.

This concerns the interests of these nobles. In fact, everyone knows that the war of the Japanese Empire has been a complete failure.

This is an unchangeable reality, and you have to face this outcome whether you want to or not.

What disappointed them most was the war in China, which went from being unstoppable to being evenly matched, and then to being on the defensive with all their might.

The changes visible to the naked eye mean that the fat meat they have been planning for thirty years is about to fly away from their mouths.

The consequences of failure were unbearable for these nobles, but they had no choice.

Before the atomic bombs destroyed the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they still wanted to take steady steps to defend China's three northeastern provinces and the prosperous areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

But now they understand that the two major Chinese political parties do not agree, and the Chinese people will not agree even more.

The occupied Southeast Asian regions and countries must also withdraw unconditionally. This is the final ultimatum given to them by the United States.

There is still one week left before the deadline of the ultimatum. If the United States issues an ultimatum after one week, they will arrange for a plane to come.

The ultimatum said that the next bombing target would be Tokyo, and that the United States had prepared three atomic bombs for Tokyo.

The representative of the Ito family couldn't help but speak.

“After several days of discussion, there is still no result, and the ultimatum date is only a few days away.

Everyone here, do you doubt the drastic measures of the American president?

A representative of the Kamii family said:

"Using atomic bombs to massacre a large number of civilians is a crime against humanity. Isn't the United States afraid of condemnation from the world?"

A representative of the Koizumi family said:

"The president of the United States would not do this. They are trying to intimidate the empire. They want to end the war as soon as possible."

The representative of the Panasonic family looked around and said:

"Let's vote on this by a show of hands. Do you still want to continue this meaningless argument?"

A representative of the Honda family echoed:

"I support a show of hands vote. If two-thirds agree, it will be implemented immediately and the results of the vote will be reported to His Majesty the Emperor."

Then several nobles thought that such a dispute was of no value and that it was naive to gamble on the character of the United States.

Representatives of the Panasonic family would like to say that when imperial soldiers occupied Nanjing, China in 1937, they massacred 30 civilians. Do you guys consider this a crime against humanity?

When they implemented the Three Alls Policy in North China, did they themselves consider the empire's crimes against humanity?

But he knew that he couldn't say such words, as if he did, he would be isolated by other nobles.

He knew very well in his heart what the nature of this war was: the survival of the fittest, except that the United States was stronger.

It has nothing to do with morality. This is a struggle for interests. The weak will have to bear the fate of being slaughtered.

Just like the imperial army used to start a war by finding an excuse that was not acceptable.

The United States can also find an excuse to continue dropping atomic bombs into the empire, which will result in the loss of more people.

Before the invention of the atomic bomb, the most people who died were the children of thousands of ordinary families, and this would not shake the aristocracy's base.

The atomic bomb is an indiscriminate physical attack that does not distinguish between civilians and nobles, and of course it cannot recognize His Majesty the Emperor.

The Toyota family also has the same idea. This war has brought the Toyota family to a higher level.

Those who still want to continue to resist are basically families whose strength has been weakened in this war, and they have made huge initial investments.

Especially in terms of investing in mining resources in other countries, all the early investments have now gone down the drain.

After stopping the debate, the twenty-four noble representatives present began to vote by raising their hands.

Five representatives did not raise their hands, indicating abstention, eight voted against, and eleven voted in favor of accepting the United States' request for surrender.

This result made all parties dissatisfied. According to the rules, if it did not obtain the consent of two-thirds, it would be invalidated.

But they understand that this result must not be invalidated and time waits for no one.

For the Japanese Empire, one week later would be the moment that would determine their final fate.

A representative of the Matsumoto family said:

"Shall we report this result to His Majesty the Emperor?"

He was very disappointed with the result, and he was even more disappointed with the Imperial Diet.

In this war, the Matsumoto family did not gain huge benefits, but they did not lose much either.

If the United States drops a few more atomic bombs, the Matsumoto family may suffer heavy losses.

In his opinion, he should immediately accept the conditions proposed by the United States and then find ways to seek benefits.

Life always has ups and downs. What does temporary failure matter? As long as the basic foundation is still there, everything is possible.

But he knew that such words could not be said here.

Half an hour later, His Majesty the Emperor of the Japanese Empire received the results of the vote of the twenty-four major families.

In his opinion, this result was better than he had expected. He thought there would be a unanimous vote in favor of surrender.

In fact, he himself also agreed to surrender. He did not want to continue to serve as emperor and planned to pass the throne to someone else.

To the imperial family, he is a sinner, and he can accept this result. If he fails, he will have to accept failure.

The imperial family remains the first family of the Japanese Empire.

A hundred years ago, the shogunate controlled the entire country, and the imperial family was just puppets, but his ancestors still managed to persevere.

Of course, he wanted to control the Japanese Empire through war, but he and his staff failed.

If he fails, he must bear the consequences of his failure. He has no choice but to surrender to the United States, but he cannot surrender to China.

A country like China is a loose sand and has no right to accept their surrender.

Psychologically, they cannot accept it, and of course those weak countries in Southeast Asia are even less qualified to accept their surrender.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt extremely tormented and irritated.

Just at this moment, he saw the Hsiung Feng II on the desk, and he walked over and picked up the small bottle containing the Hsiung Feng II.

He opened the bottle cap, poured out a pill and swallowed it immediately. In just a few minutes, he felt hot all over.

He was about to open the back door to go out to find his concubine, but unexpectedly, the person walking towards him was his sixty-year-old nanny.

In an instant, he hugged his nanny. The old nanny did not resist because she knew that the emperor was under a lot of pressure during this period.

Gradually, the Emperor of Japan lost himself and began to pull at the old nanny's clothes, and the old nanny did not refuse.

The Emperor often did this to her when she was little,...

Half an hour later, the Emperor of Japan felt relieved. He felt different from before.

In the past, his concubines were always passive, but I didn’t expect them to be so active today.

After it was over, he fell asleep.

The old nanny was very happy to see the emperor sleeping peacefully. The emperor had been under too much pressure during this period and had not had a good night's sleep.

After she had tidied everything, she left quietly.
