Agents of the Republic of China

On August [-] and August [-], the Americans dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan respectively, causing uncountable casualties. Turned into ashes, even Emperor Hirohito couldn't help vomiting blood and fainted after hearing the news.

Lin Xiaotang received the secret message from Fanny a few days ago. Hiroshima is located in the southwest of Honshu, and he has no way to make any arrangements for the time being.But Nagasaki is different, it happens to be in the key area where the Kyushu rebels and crusades are fighting.Therefore, Lin Xiaotang secretly ordered Gao Yingpei, the actual helm of the rebel army, to put pressure on Fukuda Heihachiro, prompting them to start a decisive battle with the crusade army in Nagasaki, attracting the main force of the crusade army to attack Nagasaki, and sending the atomic bomb that fell from the sky to Nagasaki. As a generous gift to Asaka Palace Hatohiko, the lives of [-] Japanese soldiers were used as sacrifices for the Nanjing massacre of refugees.

The Americans were very shrewd in their small calculations. Japan was intensively preparing for the end of the national war, and after the U.S. military captured Okinawa, it was bound to face a tragic battle to land on the Japanese island.According to a rough estimate, if the U.S. military wants to carry out landing operations, it will have to pay at least several 10 casualties, and the four islands of Japan will surely become a piece of scorched earth.Smart Americans will naturally not engage in such a loss-making business.The newly released heavyweight secret weapon, the atomic bomb, became a sharp weapon for the Americans to intimidate the Japanese.

As the Americans expected, the Japanese were really scared, especially Emperor Hirohito, who was terrified by the power of the atomic bomb. An inconspicuous bomb destroyed a city in an instant. The end of the national war was used as a condition to threaten the Americans, but now it has become a fish on someone else's chopping board. This kind of contrast really made Hirohito feel heartbroken.

The panicked Hirohito held three imperial meetings in one day, abandoned the dignity and luxury of the so-called son of the gods, and kept lamenting and complaining to a group of important officials, with the purpose of getting them to unanimously pass his resolution of unconditional surrender.Because at this time, he also knew that Yoshio Kodama had made great progress in the Philippines, and he would use the sky-high price of gold he collected in exchange for a stable status of the emperor after the war and not being held accountable for the war.The US intelligence agencies also secretly stated that the name of Emperor Hirohito will not be included in the list of war criminals. Of course, there will be a series of conditional exchanges behind this.

Therefore, the top priority is for Hirohito to let the army, navy, and government officials unanimously pass his proposal.For this reason, Hirohito burst into tears, and put on a sympathetic posture, which was in stark contrast to the previous face that strongly advocated the end of the war.

Just when the important ministers were hesitating in the face of the chaotic situation, another piece of news appeared in the Kanto region. The reason why it was said to be news rather than rumors was because compared with the previous situation, this time the news was definitely rumors. There is also a series of photos attached.

The supreme ruler of all Japan and the supreme leader of Shintoism—Emperor Hirohito—behind the government, the army, and the people of the whole country, and started peace talks with the Americans early in the morning.In order to maintain the supremacy of the emperor, Hirohito will withdraw from the occupied area, cede Hokkaido, the Ryukyu Islands, and the Kyushu Islands, and then secretly pay the Americans a sky-high price of [-] million U.S. dollars for the purpose of being a list of war criminals from the imperial family. removed.

Behind the news, there is a series of photos, the emperor's special envoy Yoshio Kodama and the head of the US intelligence agency frequently contacted each other and had a happy chat.

The so-called cession was just made up by Lin Xiaotang on the spur of the moment, but the huge amount of wealth paid was an unmistakable fact. Combined with the "rumors" that appeared last time, the authenticity of the news has greatly increased this time, and the royal family's reputation among the people has plummeted.

Not only that, but even the army, navy and the government are boiling. Hirohito’s move is undoubtedly to kill the donkey. Although the samurai’s loyalty to the emperor has long been ingrained, there is still a big market for the tradition of "down to the top". He had already prepared to be loyal to the emperor, but when things came to an end, he found himself shamelessly abandoned. This kind of blow is not acceptable to everyone.

All kinds of ideas began to germinate and spread in people's hearts like weeds. Hirohito's plan of unconditional surrender was like a stone thrown into the sea, except for a few waves splashing, and then there was no sound.

At this time, bad news came from Manchuria, and the Russian army of one million began to attack the Kwantung Army entrenched in Northeast China. At the same time, the Russian Pacific Fleet (formerly the Far East Fleet) and the Red Flag Amur River Fleet began to attack Hokkaido.At this time, the Japanese Combined Fleet lost almost all of its aircraft carriers, and most of its combat ships were firmly held back by the U.S. military. The Russians, who refused to let the Americans focus on their former beauty, took this opportunity to launch an attack on the Japanese mainland.

The Americans were taken aback by the actions of the Russians. They did not expect the Russians to move so fast and to attack the Japanese mainland before they did. In desperation, they were still preparing for the secret talks between Japan and the United States. The battered Americans immediately made a decision to unite the British fleet to speed up the attack on Okinawa and Japan's surrounding islands. As long as they pass through these defensive areas, the Allied forces will directly face Japan's Kanto and Shikoku regions.

Facing the corrupt situation, the desperate Hirohito is determined to put all his eggs in one basket.

……

"Congratulations, Takeda-kun, you have finally made up your mind!" In midsummer, the mountains are still very cool, Maizhi Town is like a paradise isolated from the world, and the turmoil of the outside world has not affected the life here.There was a wooden table under the corridor of the courtyard, with some side dishes on it. Lin Xiaotang and Takeda Yoshio sat on both sides of the wooden table, drinking the rice wine sent by his wife Kentaro comfortably.

The situation developed quickly, especially after the news of Hirohito's secret contact with the Americans was revealed.Takeda Yoshio looked at Lin Xiaotang curiously, "How did you get this news?"

Lin Xiaotang enjoyed the sweet aroma of the rice wine until the wine entered his stomach, and then opened his eyes, "It's no secret that Yoshio Kodama has a close relationship with the imperial family, as long as you keep up with him, you should be rewarded. It’s just an excuse.”

Takeda Yoshio shook his head with a smile, he knew exactly how reliable the words of the colleague in front of him were.

"The most important thing is that the comparison now is the speed of the shot. The Russians took Berlin, which made the Allies feel very embarrassed. It is an indisputable fact that the future of Germany will be divided into two. In Asia, no matter how slow the move If it's a little bit, you may not get any benefits, don't you think so, Takeda-kun?"

Takeda Yoshio nodded silently, Lin Xiaotang's words were straightforward and reasonable.

"Can we talk about your conditions now?" Takeda Yoshio finally spoke.He knew very well that Lin Xiaotang would never do these things for nothing.If all goes well, Russia will not only regain the four northern islands, but also occupy Hokkaido, all of which are suggested by the young man in front of him.

Lin Xiaotang rubbed his chin, looked at Takeda Yoshio with a smile, "It's very simple, I just want to win a territory in Japan for my country."

Takeda Yoshio curled his lips, "I'm telling the truth, maybe it's rude, but it's all true. Based on the current strength of your government army, it may not be realistic to obtain the right to garrison troops in Japan, right?"

Lin Xiaotang poured a glass of golden rice wine for Takeda Yoshio with a jug. "For so many years, I only believe in one truth, that is, it is man-made. I have lost a lot from nothing to my current position, so I want to get more. China has been extremely weak for a hundred years, and in the eyes of Americans and Russians, it is just a potential Opponents, you are quite clear, I am talking about potential. That is to say, at present, China cannot exist as a real opponent of the great powers.”

"Don't forget," Lin Xiaotang said earnestly: "No matter how poor the motherland is, this cannot be a reason for us to despise him. As a Chinese, helping the country gradually become stronger is what every Chinese should do , and it is also the only dream of every Chinese descendant about the motherland."

"So, I have been working hard, no matter what kind of difficulties I encountered. I helped the Russians create an opportunity to occupy Hokkaido. Similarly, I need to obtain their promise through you to facilitate our occupation of Kitakyushu."

"What kind of convenience?" Takeda Yoshio thought about what Lin Xiaotang said.

"Two days later, a group of cargo ships will pass through the strait between North Korea and arrive at Hirado, Kyushu. I hope that the Russian fleet can guarantee their safety in that area of ​​the sea."

"Is it the army?" Takeda Yoshio keenly noticed.

"Of course!" Lin Xiaotang spread his hands, "Otherwise, what else can I do? I can't recruit troops here to overthrow the Japanese government!"

Takeda Yoshio shook his head, "I know your shipping power very well, such a ship can only transport how many troops, and there is no sufficient logistical support. If you want to fight in a foreign country, don't you think your ideas are too idealistic? "

Lin Xiaotang shook his head, "I just ask you to ensure the safety of my fleet. After landing, what these people will do and whether they can succeed is not something you can care about. If you say, you can guarantee the safety of my fleet. You are a true Chinese descendant, I will definitely tell you my plan completely, but now it is obvious that I cannot fully trust you, because you represent the interests of the Russians."

Lin Xiaotang leaned forward, "So, what I'm talking about with you is just a deal!"

Takeda Yoshio reluctantly agreed.For many years, he has been fighting alone. Facing the current situation, it is a luxury he dare not even imagine. He has already given his life to his ideals, and also to the great trend of thought brought by the Russian Revolution. From this point of view, he and Lin Xiaotang really cannot be regarded as like-minded comrades, or even friends.

Once the Russian army lands in Hokkaido, the follow-up impact will be huge. As the main force on the Pacific battlefield, the Americans absolutely cannot tolerate Russia inserting a solid wedge under their noses. The situation they will face next will definitely It will be extremely complicated, so a collaborator like Lin Xiaotang is still necessary.
