Age of Rebirth

The Japanese Emperor Hirohito gritted his teeth and said, "Add Taiwan and the Penghu Islands!" As soon as the words came out, all the military officials in the room were stunned, and the flesh on their cheeks trembled when they saw the distress. His Majesty the Emperor did not react for a while.

On the contrary, the Minister of Army and Acting Chief of the General Staff of the headquarters, Kouichi Minai, Minister of the Navy Nagano Shuzan and other giants, after a moment of surprise, immediately reacted, secretly thinking that His Majesty the Emperor is really wise, and now Taiwan is sending troops in the southwestern Pacific Ocean of the Empire, occupying the After Luzon Island, Kalimantan Island, Sumatra Island, Java Island and other large islands, in fact, they have lost their role in sweeping the Southwest Pacific outpost for the Imperial Japanese Army.

I don't know why, but the army of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli did not launch an attack on Taiwan. If this person really started to fight, the imperial army would not be able to defend it. It is too close to the mainland of China. It took less than ten minutes to cross the Taiwan Strait and attack the imperial army. In order to defend Taiwan, the empire had to garrison No.10 army divisions and a considerable number of air wings in Taiwan. Even so , still on the defensive.

As far as the current status of Taiwan is concerned to the Japanese Empire, it is like a chicken rib. It is a pity that there is no meat to eat, and it is a pity to discard it. It is too close to the mainland of China and too far from the mainland of Japan. Under the threat of the army, in fact, giving up is the best policy, but no one dares to propose it!

Now, His Majesty the Emperor personally proposed it, of course there is no problem. Minai Koichi and Nagano Shuzan stood up almost at the same time, bowed and said: "His Majesty the Emperor is wise and wise. In the bargaining chip with Tang Qiuli, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands are also included. , it can better show the sincerity of our Great Japanese Empire, and it is tasteless to the empire. To Tang Qiuli, it is a piece of fat. Moreover, after abandoning Taiwan, the empire can at least have a mobile force of a division and a considerable number of troops. The aviation wing, ministers and others support His Majesty's holy dictatorship!"

"Wise and wise?" Emperor Hirohito couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart.Such wiseness and wisdom, I would rather not fucking want it, this is cutting flesh, cutting my heart, you know, as long as there are some other channels.To save the war situation in Manchuria, I will not give up an inch of land!

Therefore, the compliments and sycophantic words of Minai Koichi, Nagano Shuzan and others, to Emperor Hirohito's ears, are almost like scolding himself, "Okay, I don't want to hear these useless words. Immediately give the German ambassador to China Toddman Send a telegram and tell him the sincerity of the empire!"

"This is the final bottom line between the Empire of Japan and me. If that despicable China devil, Tang Qiuli, still has no sincerity in negotiating and does not want to resolve the Manchurian issue through peaceful means, then the Empire of Japan's Kwantung Army has more than one million troops. Soldiers, we will fight to the death, at the expense of all the jade!"

"In addition, Minai Aiqing was in charge and informed General Nanjiro, the Kwantung Army troops in Manchuria, to prepare for a desperate battle. Try your best to break through. The direction of the breakout is the Korean Peninsula. I don't believe it. It is known as the flower of the empire's imperial army. 'There are more than 150 million Kwantung Army soldiers. Can't fight a bloody path?"

Obviously, Emperor Hirohito had already prepared for the worst. With the determination to die, he did not pin all his hopes on the mediation of the Germans. This shows that at this moment, Emperor Hirohito is absolutely clear-headed!

But the words of ordering the Kwantung Army to prepare to break through were very strange to the ears of the generals. There was no other reason. This was the former commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, who was dead and His Majesty the Emperor would never let him go. In the general's memorial, one of the suggestions is, "...In Manchuria today, the empire does not have any military advantages. Tang Qiuli's nearly 200 million well-equipped and well-trained army is eyeing Manchuria. The war will break out at any time!"

"For the long-term interests of the Japanese Empire, it is not appropriate for the Kwantung Army to fight decisively with the army in Manchuria. Instead, it should adopt a tactic of avoiding its edge. The empire temporarily abandons Manchuria and withdraws all the Kwantung Army troops to the Korean peninsula to preserve its strength. , to accumulate strength for the future counterattack against Manchuria..."

These are the original words in Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial. Surrounding this memorial, I don't know how much waves have been caused in the high-level of the empire. Is it impressive? These military ministers naturally remember it clearly!

Today, His Majesty’s order to the Kwantung Army is based on the suggestion in Umezu Yoshijiro’s memorial that the Kwantung Army should think about the problem. That is to say, Umezu Yoshijiro’s memorial is correct, but just now, His Majesty the Emperor But there is a strict order to severely punish Meijin's unlucky relatives and family members, almost beheading. Why, the military officials are very confused, and can only be explained by the unpredictability of the king's heart?

The faces of the military officials were all different, but Emperor Hirohito was no longer in the mood to stay here. He stood up and waved his hand, dryly highlighting the words "The meeting is over!" Then, surrounded by the attendants, he didn't look back. gone.

On the way back to the palace, Emperor Hirohito's mood became more and more bad, not only because he gave Taiwan Island and the Penghu Islands with both hands to the damn Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. It is also because, in order to deal with the crisis in Manchuria, I had to adopt the suggestion in Umezu Yoshijiro's memorial, because there is no perfect way to replace it. Let's put it this way, Hirohito thinks about it now, it is awkward and disgusting!

These military ministers, all of them look like monkey spirits, must be muttering in their hearts again. In fact, after the anger subsided, Emperor Hirohito also read the memorial of Umezu Yoshijiro carefully, and found that not all of the memorials were disobedient. On the one hand, it is still very strategically foreseeable. I have also considered that after Yoshijiro Umezu returns to China, he will not be put in the cold palace, but will be appointed elsewhere.

But at this time, Umezu Yoshijiro cut himself open. There is no need to win over a dead person. Moreover, once Manchuria is lost and the entire Kwantung Army is wiped out, someone needs to be responsible to calm domestic public opinion. To calm the anger of the domestic people, to pay attention to the loss of Manchuria and the death of more than 100 million Kwantung Army soldiers, to divert the domestic people's doubts about themselves, the dead Umezu Yoshijiro is the best candidate, his head is enough weight It's also just in time!

As for punishing Umezu Yoshijiro's relatives, it is natural to warn those ministers that if they don't do their best for me, this is the end. The more he thinks about it, the more irritable Emperor Hirohito becomes, with an evil fire in his heart that can't be suppressed and rushes out. I just want to vent it immediately, and a woman's ** is the best object. . . . . .

According to reports, that night, outside His Majesty's bedroom, the palace attendants on duty were discussing in private. They could not hear a woman's shrill screams coming from His Majesty's bedroom, and, not just one, the next day , the servants carried out two things tightly wrapped in white cloth, everyone suspected that they were two corpses, as for whose corpses it was, the servants were tacitly aware. . . . . .

The German ambassador to China, Tautman, was very efficient in handling affairs. A few hours later, Tang Qiuli, who was in Jinzhou, received a telegram from the Japanese that he transferred. After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli "chilled" Having fun, he said to the teacher who sent the telegram, Chen Feng, the director of the communications department: "It's ridiculous. The Japanese are really shrewd to use Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, which I have at my fingertips, as bargaining chips!"

"They think that Taiwan and the Penghu Islands are already tasteless to Japan, but they are a piece of fat to us. I will definitely accept it happily and return the bottom line of the final negotiation. I don't want to talk to the Japanese at all. , the Japanese, they just can't change their bad nature of pretending to be smart!

Chen Feng also smiled, and said, "Master, why did Taudman call back?"

"Let's keep it simple this time. The chips are not enough to make me tempted. Add more!" Tang Qiuli said without thinking.

As soon as Chen Feng left, Ge Zhenzhuang, the chief of staff of the division, sent a letter, and Tang Qiuli ordered: "Director Ge, issue an order to the front-line troops, the Japanese will definitely put all their eggs in one basket, and all troops will strictly guard against the Kwantung Army's attempt to break through! Especially the troops on the battlefield of Ximan, especially be vigilant!"

Ge Zhenzhuang was taken aback and asked, "Master, why do you have such a judgment? Aren't the Japanese always looking for negotiations?"

"Hahaha!" Tang Qiuli laughed loudly, "There's nothing to talk about, the Japanese can't afford any bargaining chips anymore, I've driven them to a corner, and the only thing left is to put all your eggs in one basket and fight!"

The Soviet Union, Kiev, Ukraine, the traces of the war are still clearly visible on the buildings of the city, and the swastika flags are flying all over the streets. It has only been less than a year, and the citizens of Kiev seem to have gotten used to the Germans. The current Kiev seems to be the strategic rear of the German army and the place of material supply. The citizens of Kiev work in the former Soviet state-owned factories taken over by the Germans. It seems that life is better than before!

Kiev in August is the best season of the year. The streets are full of trees and lush. In this season, Kiev in the German-occupied area welcomed a proud and confident man who brought Europe into the The special guest of the bag-Adolf Hitler, the head of state of Germany.

Since ascending to the throne of the head of state of Germany, Hitler has never left the German mainland, but he has long wanted to come to Kiev. Now, it has finally come true, with millions of troops in Germany, against Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union. When the siege was launched, the German head of state couldn't wait to set foot on the land of the Soviet Union. He came to inspect his achievements and inspect his territory!

In the war against the Russians, until now, Hitler has absolutely no doubt that Germany will win the final victory. It seems that the allies in the far east - the Japanese, the countryman Tang Qiuli, whom he calls an old friend, are all in memory blurred!
