The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

() After years of repeated dealings, Ishihara Wan'er knows better than anyone what kind of fetish the guy they are facing is.

Based on Ri's self-righteous thinking, it is extremely wrong to think that Zhu Bin will be as pedantic as ordinary Chinese people, and that he may have the idea of ​​"giving mercy and forgiving others" in his heart!That guy, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely be punished to death!

Hideki Tojo yelled too much, it was because he didn't understand Zhu Bin, the unprecedented blow they were suffering now was just a small appetizer before the meal! ..

Ishihara Waner himself was also silently reflecting on whether he made a mistake in his judgment back then.Of course, the occupation of Northeast China on September [-]th does not count. The subsequent series of actions, especially the landing on mainland China and the bombing of its capital, now that I think about it, it seems that the other party is waiting for such an opportunity and making use of it!

Thinking of this, Ishihara Waner suddenly opened his eyes, frowned in disbelief and thought over and over again, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was going on!There is no open declaration of war between China and Japan, and the opponent's attack on Manchuria is not warm, and the movement is slow, like military training. Since they have such strong air and sea power, they must passively counterattack, which seems too weak a little...

But very confusing!

The whole of Japan, from soldiers to ordinary people, clearly believes that China is a weak and deceitful East Asian sick man who is at the mercy of others. It is only natural for Japan to attack them, and it will not suffer too much loss.In addition, several failures in the past few years have been subtly covered up, and until now, everyone is still intoxicated with that beautiful feeling. ..

What about China?But it has always been a mourning atmosphere, and has always put itself in the position of a backward and weak country. Except for freaks like Zhu Bin, most people think that they are not as good as Japan and may be defeated.Every time the atmosphere of public opinion cheers for victory, there is a kind of surprise of challenging the giant's success, and there is still no self-confidence in the bones.

Does such a large gap between the two countries really reflect the real situation?no, no!

The new force represented by Zhu Bin has actually been equipped with unknowable huge wealth and superb technology.The huge gap between the two sides has been evened out. Now, with one-third of the empire's troops and equipment, they have changed from a conspiracy to a frontal attack to win. The speed of change is almost as fast as that of Japan in the last century. The navy is as scary as being bullied to reverse and destroy the opponent!

At that time, the Beiyang Navy drove a new warship to Japan to show off its power, and the soldiers went ashore and caused disputes.To besiege them in groups, they are invincible!The Japanese officials at that time apologized very aggrievedly because their navy was too weak!But only a few years later, a generation of naval heroes who risked their lives and tasted courage won the First World War by betting on the fate of the country.

Could it be that the same drama will be staged again today? !

After all, Wanji Ishihara never gave up his loyalty to the country and the nation, no matter what he did to Hideki Tojo.He is truly patriotic.At this time, no sober mind stood up to make up his mind.The cabinet and high-ranking officials who were stunned by the rumbling explosions outside were obviously unreliable, so let's use some more strength!

Taking a deep breath, the thunder-like explosion outside gradually faded away, Ishihara Waner straightened his waist, and he was not tall enough, exuding a rare oppressive aura.Coughing lightly, attracting everyone's attention, he said loudly: "Everyone! Please stop the unnecessary quarrel, and use negotiation to end this war as soon as possible!"

"Negotiation? End the war?! What a joke! We have only suffered so many bombs. I don't know how many innocent civilians were killed or injured. If we don't punish the Chinese people severely, can we just admit defeat like this?!"

Hideki Tojo is like a hedgehog who sticks at everyone he sees and can't touch them at all.Moto Sugiyama frowned, waved his hand to stop him, stared at Ishihara coldly and asked, "Please continue!"

Finally, someone was willing to speak up and give an idea, and Hideki Tojo couldn't be messed up by howling.At this time, the only priority is to solve the problem!

Ishihara smiled calmly and sighed: "We misjudged the determination and strength of China. This time we lost too much and did not help the Manchurian War. Before the air defense and naval issues are resolved, it is best not to Let the Chinese people have an excuse to continue the bombing! Therefore, I suggest that we immediately negotiate a truce with them, and I believe they will be willing to accept our country's initiative to lower its stance."

Sugiyama Moto's heart skipped a beat, this is very possible!Regardless of the fact that China has the upper hand now, it is only temporary. Japan is not hurt. As long as it passes this hurdle and gives China enough face, most politicians are willing to choose the results they get.

It's that Lao Jiang who seems to be strong, but in fact, isn't he looking forward to the Japanese side bowing their heads and admitting defeat?As long as that one time, he can record himself in the annals of history, surpassing his predecessors!

After all, in a culture where China and Japan share the same origin, face is the most important thing.Especially in China, the mentality of accepting as soon as it is good may prevail!

Hideki Tojo couldn't listen to such words at all, just about to open his mouth, Sugiyama Moto waved his hand violently: "Don't talk! Let Ishihara-kun finish!"

Hideki Tojo suffocated and blushed, Konoe Fumimaro and the others couldn't help but almost burst out laughing, and hurriedly lowered their heads and coughed vigorously, but they all agreed with Ishihara's meaning in their hearts. Rather than being passively beaten like this, it's better to make peace temporarily favorable.Anyway, the previous conflicts between China and Japan have been handled in this way, and it has been tried and tested!

Ishihara smiled slightly, and said: "If we don't express our position immediately, then the bombing will continue, and even the Chinese navy will take the opportunity to capture Taiwan, even cut off the lifeline at sea, and attack our mainland! We don't have time to adjust our strategic deployment. If you stay passive, you will be dragged to death!"

"Hey mud!?"

"How is it possible?! How dare they?!"

The madmen who calmed down slowly couldn't believe it, but after a while, they realized that it was really possible!Now is the time when the strength of the Japanese navy and flight regiment is greatly weakened. If the Chinese side takes the opportunity to seize Taiwan, they will have nothing to do.

Now that the Ryukyu Islands have been lost, if Taiwan is lost again, Japan's hard work for half a century will be wiped out. If the sea transportation line to Southeast Asia is cut off, Japan's loss will be immeasurable !

If Ishihara Waner said so before.It will definitely be sprayed all over the body, it is almost impossible to happen!But now the situation is at stake, and Tokyo is being ravaged, so they can't help but lower their heads and recognize the situation honestly!

Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, who has done nothing since taking office, unexpectedly first agreed: "I agree with Deputy Minister Ishihara's point of view! The most urgent task is to calm the domestic panic and gain a chance to breathe. The battle against China will not end once or twice. You have to plan for the long term!"

Yoshida Zengo and Yamamoto 56 looked at each other, and nodded vigorously: "The navy needs to adjust and supplement, and it will take at least a few months to complete. We are willing to wait."

This is a very important vote. Japan's status today is the beginning of the navy, which has always been protecting the lifeline of the country, and the army's fortune is just a matter of these few years.But they have lost too much in the recent series of battles. Now the main battleships are almost all destroyed, and the aircraft are almost wiped out. They want to make a comeback.Two super battleships must be put into service, and a real self-made aircraft carrier must be put into service, and it will take a few months.

Sugiyama Moto also nodded decisively: "I personally agree. Bearing humiliation like the ancestors is for a more brilliant tomorrow. I believe the emperor and the people will understand us!"

Prince Xianyuan nodded solemnly: "This is very good! The empire needs to seriously reflect on the existing problems, and His Majesty the Emperor will appreciate it."

He himself is the flag of the army and the representative of Emperor Hirohito, so saying that is equivalent to a guarantee.

Hideki Tojo still refused to accept.This army vice-officer at the level of a second-class soldier did not have the concept of the overall situation in his head, and he still shouted stiffly: "But! Don't forget His Royal Highness who died!"

It's only been two days since the hapless prince was killed.Has such a big blood feud been forgotten like this?

It’s okay if you don’t say anything, as soon as the words came out, the face of the person involved, Yamamoto 56, turned black at first, and his blood vessels were about to burst due to aggrievedness. Finally, the prince of Xianyuan Palace couldn’t bear it any longer, and glared at him fiercely and scolded: “That thing I will personally explain it to His Majesty! It is not just your responsibility to die for the country. The royal family is no exception!"

Ishihara smiled and said nothing.This idiot, which pot will not be opened and which pot will be lifted, since we have agreed to talk about it, some things need to be put down, sacrificed or something.You can ignore it!Just find a chance to get revenge in the future. After finally giving everyone a step down, you foolishly jumped out to make everyone unhappy. Are you pretending to be muddled?

Hideki Tojo wasn't really stupid, otherwise he wouldn't be in the position he is in today, he pouted his mouth and lowered his head, muttering a few words and stuck his neck in silence.

Finally, there were only more rational voices left, and the most critical decision-making route was brought out, and the rest of the details were familiar to elites like them.Soon, not long after the bombing outside ended, several resolutions were drawn up, and a telegram was urgently sent to Shanghai, asking the representatives who had been waiting there for a long time to contact the Chinese government to propose peace talks.At the same time, they have the cheek to invite Britain, France, the United States and other countries to participate in the mediation.

Coming out of the underground fortification, Ishihara Waner was almost vomited by the strong smoke and burnt smell in the air!The Tokyo that appeared in front of his eyes was full of blazing fires, fire trucks and people fighting to save lives crowded every street, and their heart-piercing cries created a hell-like atmosphere of terror.

It’s already November, and it’s the season when people’s bones hurt from the cold. In the middle of the night, it’s as hot as a barbecue in a stove. to his face.

Shi Yuan raised his hand to take it off, and looked at it with the flickering fire next to it. It was a new copy, and the content said unceremoniously: "This is a punishment for you who despise my Chinese Declaration of Justice! If you still don't want to repent, Next time, Tokyo will be burned to the ground! The [-]-ton bomb is just for you! If you don’t blow up the four islands of Japan, you will never withdraw your troops!”

Shaking his head in disappointment, looking up to the sky at the ashes floating in the wind, he folded his hands desolately, two lines of muddy tears finally couldn't help but flow down the corners of his eyes.

Compared with the loss and distress of the Japanese themselves, the perpetrators are obviously much happier. The boiling flames embellish the whole city into a spectacular scene like a boundless hell. When viewed from the holographic image of the command hall, there is a sense of excitement. The feeling of being burned all over the body.

Cao Han didn't expect that war would lead to such a virtue. When he thought of a city with a million people being dropped millions of tons of bombs, burning like this, and tens of thousands of casualties, he couldn't help taking a breath, and sighed again and again : "It really is a merciless military disaster. I don't know how many people will be burned to death with this fire..."

Zhu Bin snorted and said, "If we hadn't been prepared well enough to allow Ri himself to bomb successfully, Nanjing City would be like this!"

The number of planes dispatched by Japan is only a lot!On my side, I still pick targets with few people to bomb them, but they don't care what's underneath you, just throw it away, it's really ruthless and vicious!

Cao Han also knows Ri's own nature.It was just a moment of emotion when I saw such a terrifying scene suddenly, I nodded silently, and then asked: "So, shall we wait for the Japanese to propose negotiations? Or continue the bombing?"

Zhu Bin tilted his head and looked at him: "Since you said you will drop [-] tons of bombs, there is no reason why you don't count! If you don't die, you will suffer. I don't have time to play mushrooms with them! On the premise of avoiding losses as much as possible Next, it is best to get rid of them in one fell swoop!"

"Well, then we have to find a way to deal with those politicians in the government! Ri himself took the initiative to bow his head and admit defeat, they will be crazy about it! At that time, we will insist on going our own way. It will affect our reputation. But..." Cao Han wrinkled again Frowning, "If that's the case, why throw them a leaflet to remind them?"

He generally knows the whole combat deployment, but it's a bit of a side effect to make it like this.

Zhu Bin grinned and said with a grin: "Of course it's to remind their people to leave Tokyo quickly! If they all stay there and don't leave, we will be called butchers if we throw incendiary bombs and kill hundreds of thousands! !"

Cao Han immediately trembled.With a dark face, he thought: "This guy is getting thicker and darker!"

Zhu Bin said again: "Just one Tokyo is not enough! We have to burn down their major cities! Let me see that millions of people are homeless in the winter, what can Xiaori do! Without people .They will not be able to organize homeland defense, and the subsequent attack will be guaranteed! But speaking of it, their house is really easy to catch fire!"

Cao Han thought this is not nonsense, they are all wooden houses, and they are blown by the sea breeze all day, so it is no wonder that they are not dry!You said that Japan is also true.They have all entered the ranks of modern enlightened countries, why not learn from the gringos thoroughly, even the houses are made of reinforced concrete, how wonderful!

The threatening leaflets have been sent out, and it will take some time to take effect.But the bombing doesn't stop there.Tokyo is just a prologue, it is a deterrent to them and the promotion of force, and the others will not be let go easily!

The first wave of bombing formations had just returned, and the second wave had already arrived!Along the wide passage opened ahead, this wave of more than 200 bomb-laden planes arrived over Nagoya, unceremoniously throwing bombs at all factories, seaside piers, shipyards, etc.

In particular, the Toyota Automobile Factory not far away has grown from a remote area into a small city after crazy expansion in the past few years, with a production capacity of more than [-] vehicles per year, and the scale is extremely spectacular!

A whole formation of "Thunder" heavy bombers was devoted to this target.But this time no extravagant missiles were used, but multi-warhead cluster bombs and gliding incendiary bombs, covering the entire factory and the surrounding supporting small factories to the maximum extent. More than 200 bombs, large and small, were thrown for fun. The torch burned the huge industrial area several kilometers away until the stones were melted, and the belly of the fighter plane flying a little lower was burnt black!

A large number of heavy industries are gathered around Nagoya. Apart from aircraft, automobiles and shipbuilding, there are countless small civilian production factories. There is almost no non-industrial population. Many targets are difficult to follow for non-precision bombs. Residential areas are separated.

But does it matter?Do I need to care?Obviously not!Zhu Bin didn't mention it, and the Air Force pretended not to know. All they had to do was drop the bombs on the target as much as possible.

Nagoya and the surrounding cities have only gone through the panic of the previous hour or so. The leaflets from the night before have not been confiscated, and the air defense warnings just now have not been cleared. The explosion so close at hand was too scary, and the citizens who stayed at home were shocked out of their wits. Not long after, the raging fire began to rage!

After another few hundred tons of bombs were dropped, large areas of cities, factories, and thousands of houses were all burned to pieces, and the perpetrators walked away without hindrance at all, without any obstruction in the middle.

Before dawn, the third wave of planes reached Osaka and Kobe.In view of the fact that the distance between the two cities is too close, simply treat them as a target, start dropping bombs from Kobe, drive all the way along the seaside, and extend to the outskirts of Osaka. Be sure to hit each target It is absolutely unqualified to drop at least two or more blockbuster bombs without blowing out a football field-sized circle of destruction.

The whole of Japan was trembling, and millions of Japanese were weeping and cursing, but Zhu Bin couldn't hear a word, and he didn't take it seriously.He is just fulfilling his promise, and at the same time, he is also saving face for Chairman Jiang!

Lao Jiang had already received the letter of credence handed over by the Japanese himself through other channels. He changed his previous arrogance and domineering, and claimed in a very humble tone that this was a serious misunderstanding. The Japanese Empire has fully realized the injustice of his previous behavior OK.For the sake of the long-term friendship between the two countries and the common interests of the Asians, Japan expressed its willingness to voluntarily withdraw the landing troops and apologized for some previous actions!

have a look! Ri himself apologized!Lao Jiang was so excited that he almost danced with his arms and legs. This was the first time since the founding of the Republic of China!He finally did it. In today's world, who else can have this honor?

He hastily ordered Zhu Bin to suspend the bombing, but he didn't expect to get an unceremonious answer: "If an apology is useful, why do you need the army?! In their own words, you must apologize! Otherwise, I will fight to the end!" (unfinished to be continued.)
