The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 713 Bombing Tokyo and Burning the City

() Lao Jiang also knows that he can't yell at Zhu Bin, and everything he says is like farting.However, facts and appearances are two different things. Since Zhu Bin does not take the initiative to rip him off, he will not stop exercising his authority as the leader of a country for as long as he is in position.

Is this a kind of alternative self-entertainment?As thick-skinned as Lao Jiang, he doesn't care.

Just like now, Zhu Bin is all about promoting the rhythm of the war under his control, the results of the battle, and his demands and threats to Japan, while Lao Jiang cooperates tacitly with the Japanese side. did not hear it. . .

Ri himself knew that he couldn't talk to Zhu Bin, and that guy didn't even open the window, so he really forced Ri himself to apologize!In that case, the consequences would be very serious!

However, Lao Jiang, such a sophisticated and cunning politician, naturally did not miss the opportunity to pretend to be powerful. Taking advantage of Zhu Bin's unprecedented threat, he ordered Japan to make various promises in full accordance with China's requirements.

The conditions put forward by Japan are to withdraw the soldiers from Fujian, voluntarily give up all Chinese concessions and extraterritorial rights, return Rehe to China, and support China in exercising sovereignty over Mongolia.Moreover, certain responsible persons who caused a series of disputes will be severely punished, such as Kwantung Army Commander Umezu Yoshijiro, Lu Xiang Sugiyama Moto and Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, etc., will take the blame and resign!

There are also the same requirements, that is, the squadron will withdraw from the Okinawa Islands and stop the bombing of Japan. Japan will be responsible for all previous losses and will not be held accountable.and so on. . .

The detailed provisions spread everywhere overnight, and no one else said anything. Zhu Bin couldn't help laughing after reading it: "Is Ri himself dreaming?! Does he think he is the British Empire or who? He has caused so many things , causing such a big loss, and it’s over if you just withdraw it lightly? Don’t pursue it. You fucking pursue one and try it!"

Such a stubborn approach made Jiang Baili and other kind-hearted people couldn't help but sigh and shake their heads. Are the talents and heroes in Japan really all dead after Fumhiro Ito?Avoiding the important and taking the light to such an extent, do you really think that Chinese people are all fools?Or do you think you have a big bargaining chip on your side?

Up to now, they are playing tricks, and in the whole text, the word "apology" is not mentioned at all.At most, it's just "Apologize, sorry for the trouble", it's as simple as two people rubbing their shoulders on the street when millions of people are involved in a war between China and Japan.

Jiang Baili, who is well aware of Japan's own faults, pointed out in a flash: "The Japanese themselves have never reflected on this war at all. They look down on China from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that this is just a fluke, and Japan will soon come back and win .Hmph, do you think China will be so easily deceived?"

If Zhu Bin wasn't alive, then Ri himself might be able to do this!

Looking at the whole of China, there is actually a big gap between the strength of the main combat faction and the main peace faction!Most of the main fighters are in the army or among the people.The number is huge, and it looks like a lot, but after careful study, it is found that most of these people have no right to speak.

Conversely, the peace faction almost all occupy the top positions of the government. They are high-ranking, powerful and experienced. .Very "rational" looking at the world from the perspective of Asians, calling on the public to let go of petty grievances.For the great future of thousands of years, a little bit of grievance and sacrifice is completely negligible...It echoes Japan's East Asia co-prosperity theory.

Zhu Bin commented on this: "Fucking shit! This kind of thing that forgets its ancestors is not as good as a dog! It is purely disgusting to live!"

He doesn't have time to play lip service with such a person, and he's not interested in domestic Japanese nonsense, so Lao Jiang can say whatever he wants.In short, on the second day, the national government rejected Japan's conditions without any surprise.Then put forward a series of demands for compensation and accountability, and specifically pointed out that Japan must make a profound review and apology for its repeated invasions of China in recent years and the splitting of the Northeast!and compensate for some of these losses.

The so-called exorbitant asking price to pay back the money on the spot seems to be a normal diplomatic method between the two countries.But both sides probably forgot one thing.The specific process is not in their hands, as long as Zhu Bin is upset, everything they talk about will be invalid!

"Ri himself does not plead guilty, so what should we do? Then beat them until they plead guilty! We have already said 'don't say it is unpredictable', so we must make a footnote for this!"

Only 12 hours later, an unprecedented bomber formation swarmed from the Chinese mainland, the sea, and the Ryukyu Island. The total number exceeded [-]. They were divided into two routes and four waves from the bombing channel opened the night before and the bypass channel at sea. Kill the Japanese mainland!

This time, it wasn't just the four cities that were unlucky!The west road went straight along the previous route of the Zhongyang Air Force to drop leaflets, starting from Nagasaki and pushing forward. The number of bombs dropped in each city was no less than [-] tons. After throwing away, another pile of leaflets was scattered. Next time it's Molotov cocktails!

The South Road directly detoured around Tokyo Bay, bombarding the mess again!Five hundred tons of ammunition were dropped at one time, and the surrounding factories and facilities were smashed until the bombs were exhausted.

By the early morning of the next day, the entire major cities on the central line of Japan were filled with strong fireworks. Even if it was a conventional bomb this time, the fire caused by it still caused heavy losses to Japan!Preliminary statistics show that more than 200 houses were destroyed by the bombing alone, and more than [-] were burned down!Thousands of factories were destroyed. Nakajima Aircraft Factory, Toyota Motor Factory, Harima, Kureko Shipyard, etc. were destroyed countless times. The losses of Mitsubishi and other companies are also incalculable. At least [-] million people were homeless!The number of dead was more than [-] according to preliminary statistics!

Thanks to the pre-alarm bombings several times before and after, the Japanese people got used to it and were mentally prepared to be bombed early. When the air defense alarm sounded, the whole family hid in the air-raid shelter and flew to key targets. Well, no matter how patriotic you are, you have to make money!

In fact, Japan's so-called national self-motivation is all propaganda.Compared with the tragic situation where the Chinese have fallen all the way from the glorious China for thousands of years to a situation where anyone can step up and step on it, that kind of unforgettable pain will radiate a light that encourages people to make progress in the dreams of thousands of insightful people, as if Drive them upward like a whip.As long as there is an opportunity and conditions, you don't need to shout the slogan of revitalizing China, you will work hard.

On the other hand, Japan.There is no such background at all. The reason for the rapid rise is that a group of awakened people "gambled on the fate of the country" and won; if they continued to gamble, they won again!And for gambling, countless props must be prepared, which brings a lot of employment opportunities.At the same time, foreign aggression also provides a lot of opportunities for gaining something for nothing, or taking it by surprise, and there is no such broad-mindedness as the Chinese people who treat them equally.

Such upstarts and islanders who are too shallow to withstand the wind and rain have a mentality. Once they fail, they will break the pot hysterically. Apart from relying on the strong support accumulated over thousands of years, there is no grand long-term overall situation. With their boldness, vision and planning, expect them to be brave?dream!

Back to those ordinary people, all the problems are only a lot more than the Chinese!The Chinese are poor enough to be so virtuous. After hearing the call, no matter whether they donate money or donate people, they are all daring to contribute with the ideal of the country and the rise of the nation. Ri people?It is probably because they have been brainwashed too much, especially the generation of teenagers after 1931. Both men and women are crazy, and the older fritters are no good, so they don't do it!

Even a company like Mitsubishi dares to cut corners on the aircraft when profits are low, calling it the precision of the design.A chief designer like Horikoshi Jiro, who was entrusted with important tasks, would reduce life-saving equipment at will without thinking because of the absurd requirements of the army.What kind of attitude is this?

If it were Wang Zhu, who came back from studying abroad with the dream of saving the country, if Zhu Bin gave such an order, they would definitely not cooperate except to resign in anger.You don't even care about your own soldiers, how much can you expect to achieve!

Often something that goes deep into the core of the national spirit will determine the final result.Chinese people have been able to inherit civilization from ancient times to the present.It has been massacred and invaded by nomads countless times, but it can rise in a short period of time. Without a solid cultural bond and national spirit to condense and sustain it, it has long since disappeared like other ancient countries. !

That's all. Ri himself will never understand it, nor can he understand it!It's time to burn their eyebrows, and they still can't forget to play tricks and tricks, and the price they paid for this is extremely heavy!

Playing that kind of Lige with Lao Jiang and other Chinese politicians, at most, you will be scolded a few times for shame, Zhu Bin, without saying a word, he will be punched!

Overnight, Japan was blown upside down!The scene of more than a dozen major cities being engulfed in flames was too appalling. The photo of the chief mate named "Burning Tokyo" was published in newspapers from various countries. The teacher of benevolence and righteousness, in order to minimize the casualties of the people, specially issued warnings repeatedly, and paid a great sacrifice for this.Afterwards, he had no choice but to use live ammunition to bomb, but still did not use powerful incendiary bombs. How much tolerance does it take to do this?

Those foreign media bought by Ri himself have nothing to say.You want to condemn the bombing of civilians?People's explanations come out first, and they are well-founded.Besides, with their stinginess, Europe, which is fighting in full swing, has no time to take care of it. In private, they even expressed gloating towards Japan, which is allied with Germany, to ask for misfortune!

The Americans are completely watching the fire from the other side. Anyway, no matter how the two countries fight, they have to import oil, steel and various raw materials from them.China is basically self-sufficient now, and Japan even buys the whole ship!For the United States, which has just emerged from the economic crisis, it is definitely a good opportunity to make a fortune!

The Japanese cabinet is in dire straits.Except for Ishihara Waner, very few people could have imagined that Zhu Bin would fight at the slightest disagreement, completely not following the routine they imagined.Even the representatives in China complained that it is normal for such important negotiations to have some small differences!It's too much to play tricks casually!

The negotiators of the national government couldn't help but laugh secretly, even He Yingqin didn't dare to turn his back on Zhu Bin.He himself wants to talk about a straightforward treaty to clear his reputation in the "He Mei Agreement"!Zhu Bin has done him a lot of favors by doing this!

At the critical moment, Japan's army and navy are fighting again!The army firmly disagrees with the use of the word "apology" to sell Jehol?What a joke!It was fought by the Kwantung Army with their lives. Why did they let it out because of the failure of the navy?

The navy ridiculed that Rehe is now in dire straits. After completing the round of battle, hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops have broken through from the north of Chahar and entered Heilongjiang.It is about to be attacked from three sides, and the chance of keeping it is getting smaller and smaller!And Ryukyu and Taiwan are important places that have been occupied step by step since the Satsuma period, and they cannot be given up.

No one would budge.Emperor Hirohito, who stayed in a secret place, endured the grief of his brother being blown to nothing, and sent an imperial edict ordering the cabinet to make a quick decision on the war.Stop bullshitting.There is no certainty of victory, and you will be beaten head-on, and quarreling will be of no avail!

"What if the Chinese really start dropping Molotov cocktails?!"

Ishihara Waner raised this question, cooling down the quarrel a bit.They all know that the main buildings in Japan are made of wood. In the two bombings, the casualties caused by the spread and ignition accounted for the majority. If incendiary bombs were used to set fire to a large area.There is no possibility of saving at all!

At the critical moment, Hideki Tojo got the news from nowhere, and declared categorically: "The Chinese probably don't have that many incendiary bombs! Being able to dispatch so many fighters to fight on two fronts should have exhausted their industrial production." Ability! Now, the vast majority of factories are manufacturing ammunition and armaments for the army, and they repeatedly strike with expensive technological weapons just to frighten us and not to be fooled!"

Um? !Is it really a bluff?

The officials, who had a little luck in their hearts, immediately thought about it.They don't know exactly what Zhu Bin's lair looks like.But the central yang army, the local army, and even Yan Laoxi's territory.The manufacturing capabilities of those arsenals are still known, and they are indeed frantically manufacturing army consumables such as bullets and shells. From the perspective of output, they are basically working at full capacity.

Although the ammunition used by the Air Force is not difficult to manufacture, it is consumed quickly, and the specific items needed can be checked through the export of various countries.Of course, there is an uncertain factor in it. China's own petrochemical industry seems to be quite fierce!

Seeing this group of guys start to hesitate just because of a little possibility.Ishihara Waner finally couldn't take it anymore, sighed and made a final suggestion: "It's better to evacuate the residents of each city first! In any case, they are the foundation of the empire's existence!"

There is no controversy about this one, in fact, it has been implemented since yesterday.It just takes a lot of time to complete it!There are millions of people in and around Tokyo alone.Together with other major cities, it is conservatively estimated that 1000 million people need to be evacuated.But in this case, most of the local industrial production will be paralyzed!

Hideki Tojo sneered at this concern: "Don't be afraid! The industrial foundation we have laid in Manchuria has exceeded the domestic total five years ago! A large number of factories and mines established in North Korea are waiting to be started! Since we have been working for thousands of years My goal is to land on the mainland, so why not go there? Just take this opportunity to drive those stupid guys away!"

Dare to say that the mouths and eyes of the senior cabinet officials were blocked!

But what Hideki Tojo said was true.The large-scale immigration and industrial transfer plan started in 1933 has been implemented for less than six years today, and the results have been remarkable.The aristocrats and elites have already settled down in North Korea or Manchuria, and they can leave with their bags.

As for those dull farmers and fishermen, there are millions of them who have been coerced and lured out. Now they can't go to the coast of China, and most of them have been transferred to North Korea. More than [-]%!

Now the most critical issue left is population!In the final analysis, if Japan wants to realize a real continental empire, it must have enough population to rule the occupied area.

Nagada in Manchuria is stared at by the great powers, and China is watching. In addition, the development has been severely underdeveloped for thousands of years. Now it is mainly crowded in Liaoning with more than 3000 million people, and the Japanese themselves will soon reach the upper limit after passing 500 million.Jilin is full of mountains, but who wants to go to the primeval forests near Russia in Heilongjiang!So there are more people left in Korea than in Manchuria.But compared to these two places, there are nearly 3000 million Chinese and 2000 million North Koreans, and there are only about 3000 million people among them.

I never left in a hurry before.This time, might as well be an opportunity...All the senior members thought about it thoughtfully.

Without a unified thought, wrangling is the most time-consuming.Zhu Bin's ultimatum is getting closer and closer, and the cabinet has been unable to come up with a resolution.In major cities, the police and hundreds of thousands of troops mobilized together, and all Japanese ships, including warships, began to transport panicked people to other places, and the three islands of Japan were in chaos.

A group of lucky guys gritted their teeth and waited until the end, closing one eye and waiting for the incendiary bomb to fall. In the end, it was an ordinary bomb!

Zhu Bin only gave him one day to think about it. After the time was up, the number of bombers dispatched was halved compared to last time. The bombs dropped were the most primitive and common aerial bombs, and even gliding bombs were very few.Moreover, there is not a single "Thunder" bomber, and most of them use JF1B attack aircraft as the main force, diving and dropping bombs over cities with no air defense capabilities, and the accuracy is not low at all.

Lao Jiang was disappointed by this, he was still waiting to see a good show. You must know that the cost of long-range bombing is terrible!Fuel, loss of aircraft, sacrifice of pilots, and the cost of bombs are all money!

Zhu Bin's ambiguous meaning is very likely to be powerless, and it seems that the intimidation was unsuccessful!

Ri himself suddenly regained his mental vigor, and continued to talk nonsense on the negotiating table, procrastinating!Not only did they not withdraw their troops, but they also asked Fujian's army to intensify its activities to create trouble, and see who can't hold on!

Seeing this result, Jiang Baili lamented sincerely: "Ri himself has lost his last chance! When did Zhu Bin's words not count?" (To be continued.)
