"Ahem, I've read your surrender document. I have only one small request, may I?"

Li Yunlong and his four men turned to look at Long Fei, seeking his opinion. After Long Fei nodded, Li Yunlong said in a gruff voice.

"you say……"

"This war of aggression launched by our country against China has nothing to do with our Emperor Tianhuang; it was all orchestrated by us militaristic warmongers."

"We are willing to bear all the blame and accept any punishment. I only hope that you will not blame His Majesty the Heavenly Locust and will continue to preserve the existence of the royal family and the Heavenly Locusts, as well as their safety."

The translator immediately began translating, but after hearing this, Li Yunlong and his four companions felt that this was no small matter, much less a small request, and they dared not agree to it without authorization.

Therefore, everyone's attention turned to Long Fei.

Of course, Long Fei could not agree to let Tianhuang, the real culprit, go.

"We cannot grant your request. Don't insult our intelligence. As the supreme leader of your Japan, how could you invade China without his consent?"

"Therefore, your Gourd Locust must be punished for his sins, there is no room for discussion."

Seeing that this explanation was not working, Hideki Tojo quickly changed his story.

“I must remind you that in Japan, the locust is loved and worshipped by all the people. He exists like a god in their hearts.”

"If you intend to harm our supreme Emperor Tianhuang, it will surely provoke protests from the 70 million citizens of Japan, and at that time you may not be able to control the situation."

Long Fei slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Are you fucking threatening me?"

"No, this is not a threat. I'm just telling you what the consequences will be."

"I don't need your reminder. Yes, you have 70 million citizens, but I don't think they are all so stubborn and inflexible."

"Besides, what can we do if they won't listen to reason? I have a million soldiers, which averages out to seventy heads per person. If all else fails, I still have super bombs."

Hideki Tojo shuddered; Long Fei's words were filled with murderous intent.

"You...you don't mean to kill all tens of millions of my citizens, do you?"

"Yes, so what? Since they don't listen, keeping them around is just a waste of food, land, and air. This kind of garbage should go to hell."

The way Hideki Tojo looked at Ryubi now was as if he were looking at a demon from hell. It seemed that his attempt to protect the Heavenly Locust and the Imperial Family was doomed to fail.

However, Long Fei then changed the subject, saying, "Although Tianhuang's crimes are unforgivable, the request to retain members of the royal family is something we can consider."

"Really? Thank you!" Hideki Tojo exclaimed with delight and heartfelt gratitude.

Long Fei agreed to this because he had his reasons. After all, he had only been bluffing Tojo Hideki; how could he possibly kill tens of millions of people?

However, he would never let the current Heavenly Locust go. After the current Heavenly Locust is executed, he can support a new Heavenly Locust to take the throne.

In this way, for the 70 million people of Japan, the fact that they still have faith in the Heavenly Locust will prevent unrest from occurring.

Long Fei nodded impatiently: "Really? Are you going to sign now, or go back and ask Gou Ri's Tianhuang for instructions before you sign?"

After thinking it over, Hideki Tojo decided to report the matter before signing the document.

"Alright, then go back and ask for instructions immediately. If you don't come to sign by 10 a.m. tomorrow, we will no longer give you the chance to surrender voluntarily. We will take swift and decisive action to wipe out the rest of your Honshu Island, march straight to your capital, and capture your locusts alive."

Hideki Tojo knew that Ryufei wasn't trying to scare or threaten him.

"Hai, I heard you. I'll go back and ask Tianhuang for instructions right away."

After Tojo Hideki and the others left, Li Yunlong gave Long Fei a thumbs-up and praised him.

"Brother, you were absolutely awesome just now, I'm completely in awe of you."

Luo Binghui chimed in, "Yes, not only is he domineering, but he is also righteous and awe-inspiring."

Long Fei laughed and said, "You flatter me. I was just trying to scare the Japanese. They are bullies who prey on the weak. As long as you are stronger than them, they will definitely bow down and submit. That's their usual behavior."

"Alright, let's continue drinking and eating. The Japanese devils are now so scared by our sweet potatoes that they've lost their minds and have no will to resist. We'll just wait for them to come and sign tomorrow."

Upon returning, Hideki Tojo immediately went to the underground defense post of the Amako.

"Nani, you said they don't agree to let me go and want to punish me."

"Your Majesty, I have tried my best, but the situation is beyond our control. We have no say at all and can only be slaughtered."

"However, they did agree to preserve the royal family and allow new locusts to emerge in the future."

"Baka! Do you know what you're saying? A new locust? What about me, the locust?"

Emperor Tanihito was on the verge of collapse. Cowardly and afraid of death, he could not accept this outcome.

Hideki Tojo already had a plan in mind, so he took the opportunity to offer his suggestion.

"Your Majesty, it is unrealistic to flee the country now, since there is no country to go to. Therefore, in order to save your life, I suggest that you disguise yourself as an ordinary citizen, blend in with the seven million people in the capital, and then wait for the situation to change before making any decisions."

After listening to Hideki Tojo's advice, the locust suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.

After much painful deliberation, he finally accepted the suggestion. However, he was unable to take care of himself, so Tojo Hideki had no choice but to assign him two attendants to look after him in the future.

After the Emperor Ame-no-Kage signed the surrender document and fled overnight, Hideki Tojo, in his capacity as Prime Minister, announced to the entire nation via radio that Japan would unconditionally surrender to China.

The next morning, Hideki Tojo and others arrived at the "Ryuzoku" on time and signed the surrender document.

The troops on Honshu Island also received orders to remain in their barracks, with weapons and ammunition stored on-site, awaiting inspection and acceptance by the enemy's landing forces.

Around 11 a.m., roll-on/roll-off ships and landing craft from the two fleets began landing on Honshu Island, Japan, from the east and west.

By 3 p.m., all seven heavily armed combined arms brigades and a million-strong army had successfully landed on the Japanese mainland.

Subsequently, the various troops began to take over different parts of Honshu Island, including the capital of Japan, which had seven million citizens.

In addition to sending two heavily armed combined brigades to garrison the area, Long Fei also deployed 100,000 troops from Yan'an to take over the command.

When Long Fei, Li Yunlong, and the others arrived at Tianhuang's palace, the battalion commander of a heavy combined arms battalion under the heavy combined arms brigade, who had arrived earlier, and the regimental commander of a mechanized infantry regiment under Li Yunlong's command, both ran over in a panic to report.

"Report, something bad has happened. Tianhuang has disappeared. After we took over Tianhuang's palace, we couldn't find him. We questioned all the Japanese soldiers in the palace, and they all said they didn't know where he went."

Li Yunlong was furious: "What are you all doing? How could you let that son of a bitch Tianhuang get away?"

Long Fei revealed a strange smile: "Damn it, whether you play the 'disappearing party' trick, the 'golden cicada shedding its shell' trick, or even the 'darkness under the lamp' trick, I'll play along with you until you can't afford to play anymore."
