1890 King of Southeast Asia

On March 11, Lin Anmin's offer was passed to Japan.

After Japan proposed to reduce the amount of compensation and loan but was rejected by Lin Anmin, the Japanese fell into despair.

"The empire is still powerful, the empire still retains a strong army, and the main force of the navy is still there. We can still fight."

"The army of the Huaxia Empire is a coward, including their emperor Liu Yiming. Even if we don't surrender, they dare not send the army to land on the Japanese mainland!"

"Yes! As long as the army is still there, Japan cannot agree to such conditions that will destroy the country and exterminate the race!"

In the cabinet, Terauchi Masayoshi looked at the group of people shouting very tiredly. He did not hear courage from their words, but only heard that they were at a loss.

"This is the specific situation. Let's discuss how to deal with it. In addition, count the supplies and see how many people we can still arm." Terauchi Masayoshi stood up and said.

After that, he walked out without looking back and got on the car and carriage. Japan's gasoline was running low, and Terauchi Masayoshi took the lead in frugality.

The carriage ran for a long time, passing through a charred core area of ​​Tokyo, which was once the most prosperous area of ​​Tokyo.

On weekdays, Tokyo at this time should be bustling with people, and there should even be many geishas.

But now, teams of temporary workers, with a salary of two rice balls a day, carried stretchers, found corpses one by one from the collapsed ruins, and then carried them away.

Those who could find their families, asked their families to pay a sum of money to give them the bodies, and those who could not find them were directly sent to the big pit outside the city and buried directly.

Terauchi Masaki looked at the roadside, and from time to time there would be soulless victims rummaging in the ruins, perhaps hoping to find their relatives, or perhaps hoping to find something valuable.

There were many people sitting and lying on the roadside, usually women holding children. Terauchi Masaki saw a woman lying under a step with her two children beside her. The older one was four or five years old, and the younger one could not walk steadily.

She lay on the ground with chapped lips and burns all over her right hand. There were signs of suppuration in many places.

The child sat on the ground and cried. Maybe he was hungry. His crying was very quiet. Terauchi Masaki was sure that this sound was quieter than the meow of his cat.

Terauchi Masaki did not continue to watch, but pulled the curtain, sat in the carriage expressionlessly, closed his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

…

Yamagata's house, Yamagata's house was in the southern suburbs and was also affected by the fire. Although it was not serious, the courtyard was still a mess. Several cherry blossoms that were carefully taken care of had died.

"Terauchi is here? I'm sorry to make you laugh." Yamagata sat at the entrance and smiled at Terauchi Masaki.

Terauchi Masaki looked around and saw that the building did not collapse, but the various debris and dust that were rolled up by the flames had covered the courtyard, and several holes were smashed in the roof. The servants were cleaning up.

"My lord, I'm here to seek your help." Terauchi Masaki stopped outside the door and bowed to Yamagata.

"What are you talking about? You are the Prime Minister. You don't need to treat me like this, an old man." Yamagata stood up and motioned him to go in and talk.

"How is His Majesty the Emperor? Is he frightened?" Yamagata asked after entering the courtyard.

"His Majesty is in good health, but he was a little frightened. With the comfort of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he has now stabilized." Terauchi Masaki answered.

To put it bluntly, Emperor Taisho was a mental patient, so Yamagata asked this question, fearing that he would get sick from being frightened. He was relieved to hear that he was comforted.

"It's good that he is fine, it's good that he is fine. It's our fault as ministers to let His Majesty be frightened." Yamagata nodded and sighed.

"I have ordered the army's anti-aircraft artillery units to enter various cities and hold on day and night. These nights, the anti-aircraft searchlights will continue to operate to ensure that this situation will not happen again." Terauchi Masaki straightened his back.

In fact, the two are from the same era, but Yamagata is a veteran and Terauchi Masaki is a junior.

"Mr. Terauchi, what are the losses in Tokyo? Is it really as serious as announced?" Yamagata asked.

"In fact, it is much more serious than announced. A large amount of food and medicine were burned, a large number of people were burned, and the government organization in Tokyo has collapsed."

"I have ordered the army to enter the city to implement martial law, and also mobilized food from other places, but medicine is extremely scarce and there is nowhere to transfer."

"And it is not only the management agency that collapsed, but also the doctors, nurses and other staff are seriously short of manpower. A large number of injured people can only wait to die because they cannot get doctors and medicine."

"In the end, most of these disaster victims can only wait to die, and the final death toll may reach 100,000 or even more."

Terauchi Masaki said very clearly that with the shortage of supplies, wealthy families or families with connections can naturally get things to continue.

Ordinary people either starved to death or died of illness. This part of people may be 50,000, and only a few of them can survive.

"The Imperial Palace was destroyed, and Tokyo has temporarily lost its ability to serve as the government's residence. I have ordered the emperor to move to Kyoto, and the government will also move to Kyoto later."

Terauchi Masaki said again.

The Imperial Palace was not completely destroyed. On the contrary, thanks to the efforts of hundreds of firefighters, only two buildings were partially damaged.

The subsequent impact only affected the edge of the Imperial Palace.

However, the Imperial Palace is in the center of Tokyo. When the flames were raging, the temperature of the Imperial Palace was very high. Most of the plants in the Imperial Palace died, and the fish in the water were basically cooked.

The buildings did not collapse, but those things that were not resistant to high temperatures could not be used.

However, it is still possible to live, but the government agencies are basically destroyed. To maintain effective rule, it is obviously not what a temporary headquarters can do.

Therefore, Zhengyi in the temple decided to move from Tokyo and move to Kyoto. Where is the former residence of the Emperor and the government agency, it can be put into use slightly.

"Ensure that His Majesty of the Emperor Emperor, in addition to publicizing the whole territory, promoting the brutality of the Chinese people, the war has reached this step, and Huaxia can no longer support it anymore."

"As long as you persist, the Huaxia people will give up." Shanxian sighed and said.

Zhengyi in the temple raised his head, glanced at him, and quickly lowered his head and said yes.

The two talked for a while, and there was something in the temple's pretext to leave the mountain county.

The carriage wheel slowly rotates, and gradually returned along the road.

At a certain moment, he heard a sharp and stern crying, and opened the curtain subconsciously.

It was the woman's eldest child crying, not holding a woman. The woman was no longer moving. The old child was holding the child to cry.

In the temple, Zhengyi looked at the child, that was the child who was crying smaller than their cats.

Put down the curtain and pull it open again.

"parking……"

Cangpin ~~

The carriage stopped, the old servant opened the door for him, and several young guards were around the carriage, watching the crowd around him fiercely.

The temple Zhengyi walked down, and several young people surrounded him, but they couldn't respond than to hear the sound of gunfire later.

Step ... stepping ... stepping ...

Zhengyi in the temple walked in front of the eldest child.

"Ah ~~ 唔 ~ ~~" The eldest child looked at him in horror, and his crying became a whine.

"Your name." Zhengyi in the temple looked at the child, not much bigger than his grandson.

"Sasaki ... Sasaki, Sasaki, we have no money anymore, please, adult, don't grab the mother's clothes ..." Sasaki said to be crying while crying until he couldn't help it.

"Is this your brother?" Zheng Yi looked at the woman lying down, just a few hours ago, she was still alive. Although she couldn't see anything in her eyes, she was still alive.

Now, she is gone.

"This is my sister, Sasaki, Sasaki, adult, can you ask you to save my sister? Please, I will repay you, I beg you." Sasaki hugged his sister and kneeled to the ground.

But she is just a five -year -old child. Where can I hold one and a half year older sister? So he fell to the ground all at once.

That is, this time, he has gone to get up again, and his voice gradually becomes smaller.

Zhengyi in the temple squatted down, put her hand on the neck of the little girl, and had a heartbeat, soon.

"But I look away ..." Zheng Yi sighed in the temple.

"Ichiro!" Zheng Yi shouted in the temple, and a young man in the back stood out quickly.

"Take them to the hospital for examination and treatment, and then send them to the temple."

After the temple, Zhengyi finished speaking, and turned quickly into the carriage.

Nympho

"Sasaki Hikakan, Sasaki Hiko, how similar to today's Japan!" Zhengyi in the temple closed his eyes.

"Japan has reached the point where they have to change, and the nobles only think of their own interests. If so, how can Japan fall to such a point?"

"We launched a war and won the war, and then? The war did not bring us much benefit."

"North Korea? Yes, we have gained the dream of North Korea, then we should develop him, instead of launching a war repeatedly when not ready."

"A war was launched when the enemy was unclear. The enemy could easily cut off Japan's external traffic without doing anything. In this way, even if it won the sea, he could not win the final victory."

"We have been unable to fight again, and if we go on like this, the Japanese nation will die! Father!"

The temple Zhengyi thought of the words that the younger son said when he was against him. This surrender speech spread in many universities.

At that time, he blocked many universities and handled many people.

But now think about the victory at sea, it can't win the final victory. Isn't this their original conclusion?

However, the government has been seeking, and the Huaxia Empire is closed at a huge price.

"Is this the price? This is the Japan we want for decades?" The temple Zhengyi looked at the broken wall, full of soreness, and there was a breath in our hearts.

"Ichiro ..." Zhengyi shouted gently in the temple.

"Adults, Ichiro is not there, I sent two to the hospital." A young man ran up a small step.

"Erlang, go to prison, release the group of students, said it was what I said, let them find a family of their own, and see if it was affected."

"In addition, let the military school students come over, transfer the National Self -Defense Force into the city, let students lead the National Self -Defense Force, and strengthen their combat effectiveness." After the temple said, he gently waved his hand.

"Hiyi!" Erlang nodded and turned away.

The National Self -Defense Force is a militia forces built in the United States in Japan. It is mainly used to perform local decisive battle plans, with a huge number and a total of more than one million people.

Unlike the United States, the National Guard in the United States is a professional army and the Japanese National Self -Defense Force is a semi -produced militia forces.

These people basically signs a large number of signs. The large number but no complete training, the weapons are not dominated by system weapons, but are local decisive weapons.

These local decisive battle weapons are varied, including stone bombs, bullet-firing devices like iron pipes, and even matchlock guns.

There is enough explosives, even more than the allocation of explosives for the regular divisions.

There are also some precision shooters equipped with rifles. Apart from that, only some officers or sergeants have standard weapons.

In general, the National Self-Defense Force is cannon fodder, used by the Japanese to consume the bullets of the Chinese who landed in Japan.

By the way, it arouses hatred between the Japanese and the Chinese.

Because they are cannon fodder and do not require large-scale offensive and defensive capabilities, the officers in them are soldiers.

…………

"This is what happened. Now the people are still under our control. No news has been spread yet. What should we do?" Wang Yang stood in the office, looking at the irritable Liu Yiming.

"Properly place them, send them to Basra, and announce to the public that we have taken them in. They are now receiving treatment. The specific situation still needs to wait for further communication with various countries." Liu Yiming rubbed his eyebrows, a little irritable.

On the 12th, a scattered British-Indian army rushed into the Mesopotamian plain area of ​​the Huaxia Empire under the pursuit of the Ottomans.

Lord Yuan happened to be an assistant in the Construction Corps there. When he was inspecting the farmland, he met this group of people.

Lord Yuan thought a lot in an instant, and then ordered the machine gunner to set up the machine gun and kill everyone.

The militia of the Construction Corps had just buried the people, and another group of people came, this time it was the British Australian Army.

Originally, Lord Yuan wanted to repeat the same trick, but a group of British new troops and local scattered troops followed behind, a total of three or four hundred people.

Being delayed like this, Lord Yuan still adhered to the idea of ​​either doing nothing or doing it to the extreme, and prepared to gather these people together and kill them all.

He was right to think so. In this way, this matter has nothing to do with Huaxia, even if some people have ideas.

Otherwise, if someone uses these to make trouble, it will only add to the trouble.

Then, the Ottoman Empire's pursuers arrived, a group of cavalry.

Lord Yuan sighed and stopped caring. After all, he only had more than a hundred people and could not kill them all. He could only wait for the army to come and deal with them.

Soon, a battalion of motorized infantry arrived, captured most of them, and some of the Ottoman cavalry escaped, and then reported.

Some people escaped, and it was definitely impossible to hide it, so Liu Yiming said this.

This is a very simple and difficult problem, so he was a little irritated about how to deal with it.

If Huaxia decides not to join the war, then of course everything is fine, just make a decisive statement and detain everyone.

As for whether the Ottoman Empire believes it or not, the worst thing is to sign a contract publicly.

However, the Huaxia Empire is destined to join the war.

"How to achieve a balance between the Allies and the Central Powers, do you have a way?" Liu Yiming looked at Wang Yang and asked.

"According to the army's training plan, we should send an observation group to Europe to observe the war this year." Wang Yang did not answer directly, but said.

"In that case, let the British pick up people in Basra and make our attitude clear. We are not ready yet. We will only send an observation group for observation this year." Liu Yiming nodded.

Sending an observation group is a very obvious statement. Wang Yang's intention is to say it in advance, so that there is no need to argue with the Allies too much.

Liu Yiming simply went a step further and gave Britain a face, letting it pick up people in Basra directly, and then passing through the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea to return to the starting point of these people.

Anyway, China is going to participate in the war, and it is on the side of the Allies.

"For the Allies, give them the technical research of self-propelled artillery, the research we used to fool people." Liu Yiming thought about it and felt that if he didn't get rid of this research, it would be a waste of his hands.

This self-propelled artillery is not the first generation of self-propelled artillery in China, but a product of a new project, with great power.

Equipped with a 155mm howitzer, a 75mm rapid-fire gun, two 47mm short-barreled howitzers, and five machine guns.

The entire vehicle has two turrets, two turret guns, three machine gun turrets and two front and rear machine guns.

The vehicle body is extremely large, 12 meters long and 4.6 meters wide, with 15 to 20 millimeters of armor.

Because it is too heavy to use an ordinary diesel engine as an engine, the army simply borrowed a 24-cylinder high-horsepower diesel engine from the navy.

The engine alone weighs more than ten tons, and the final weight is nearly 80 tons.

Then, the entity was built. To some extent, this war behemoth is not a failure. On the battlefield of World War I, its combat effectiveness is still good.

The maximum off-road speed is 8 kilometers per hour, but because of the large body, the passability is unexpectedly good, and the 15 mm thick steel plate can also be immune to bullets and small-caliber artillery fragments.

Except that it cannot cross bridges, the journey is short, and firing may cause soldiers to be injured and wear the walking mechanism, there are not many disadvantages.

This was originally a product that Liu Yiming was going to use to evade Britain and France, but now it seems that he has to give it to Germany first in exchange for some technology.

With such an exchange, it should be able to stabilize the Allies and put some pressure on Britain and France.

"What should we do if we fail to fool them?" Wang Yang felt a little uneasy, after all, that thing was a waste in his eyes.

The engine used by the navy is indeed powerful, but it takes up a lot of space, is noisier, and its fuel consumption is worthy of its size.

Such a war beast can only travel 60 kilometers on a single tank of fuel.

I emphasize again that this is a self-propelled artillery, but its protection performance is not worse than the first-generation tanks of the same period.

"Don't worry, tanks have already appeared on the battlefield, right? Transport the prototype to Arabia for exhibition, they will be tempted." Liu Yiming shook his head, not worried at all.

He was worried that he would be dragged into the war passively at this time. Giving this thing to the Germans was just to delay it and put pressure on the British.

As long as the Germans are not crazy, they will not take the initiative to launch an attack if they are not sure whether China will join the war.
