the world is at stake

After the arrival of the chosen ones, the economic and technological development of countries around the world will avoid many detours.Reflected in the armament, mature models are naturally emerging in an endless stream.

The U.S. military built armored combat vehicles, naturally going in the direction of the original historical 'Jiafei'. After the power was increased in the later stage, the 'Sherman' was made, and it was impossible to make the side-mounted artillery of the 'Grant'.

But when the little devil introduced American tanks, the army's military expenditure was squeezed by the navy, and the inertia led to the direction of the miniature "Little Douding"-light armor, light firepower, and mobility.

The "Taisho Four Year Type" destroyer tank was developed under the order of General Akiyama Koko who is good at commanding cavalry - Your Excellency, this will be buried in the basement of "Building No. [-]".

The road to the Imperial Palace is blocked.

A 'Grey Wolf' protruded from the corner of the street, and was hit by two 37mm armor-piercing bullets fired diagonally.The hollow armor specially strengthened for urban warfare was pierced with two holes, and the projectile was bounced off the hardened main armor inclined at [-] degrees.

Wow... The heads of people watching the excitement protruded from the buildings on both sides of the street corner.Chiyoda District gathered a large number of government and commercial institutions, and the vicinity of the Army Ministry was even more bureaucratic.

Ever since 'Building No. [-]' was bombed, news of the mutiny spread.The Guards Division blocked the streets, officials and staff who didn't know why couldn't leave, and all crowded to the windows to observe the development of the situation.

Two 'Four Years' were blocked side by side in the middle of the street. The diameter of their 37mm main guns was too short, and the sound of the cannons sounded like a bang, and even the glass on both sides of the street could not be shattered.

The bureaucrats watching the excitement stood by the military headquarters, watching their chariots fire first and hit them first, shouting "Godfather" one after another with great enthusiasm.

The leading 'Grey Wolf' was hit twice in a row, and the internal members were terrified. No one wanted to die before the revolution, and hoped to survive the war and become a hero.

It is different from the warships and fighter planes that gallop the sea and soar in the sky.Armored tactics have always been very doggy.What's "assault", "charge" and "brave and fearless" are all impossible.

Especially in urban street fighting, the 'old bastards' who are good at squatting and playing with black guns can live long.

The leading 'gray wolf' knew that his armor had resisted the opponent's shelling, but he refused to go out to eat shells.Its crew contacted their companions on the radio, and asked the accompanying infantry to cooperate and try to detour in other directions.

Two 'four-year-style' vehicles acted as fixed firepower points at the crossroads, and their crews hadn't realized that they couldn't penetrate the opponent's front armor.

As everyone knows, in just one or two minutes, the accompanying infantry of the Japanese People's Liberation Army completed a simple infantry-tank coordination tactic, guiding a tank platoon to the side of the intersection.

A 'Grey Wolf' came out of the vehicle sideways, stopped briefly, aimed its [-]mm main gun at the opponent's side, and fired a round.

After the bombardment, the 'Grey Wolf' backed up immediately, and another 'Grey Wolf' came up and also made a short emergency stop. The turret aimed at the enemy's side armor and fired a second round.

The sound of the high-pressure artillery was obviously louder, suppressing the voices of shouting 'Godfather' at the intersection.The windows near the shelling point were shattered, and many people who were poking their heads shrank their necks in fright, knowing that the ordinary scene was a war.

The shouting sound subsided, and the spectators continued to hold on to the windows.

I saw two 'powerful and domineering' 'four-year-style' chariots stopped after being shot, and after a while, several bloody crew members climbed out of the vehicles.

It seems that the armor-piercing projectile only punches a small hole outside the car body, but after penetrating the car body, it will cause a large number of deadly fragments inside.In the era of no protective lining, high-speed fragments can easily kill crew members.

The members who escaped from the chariot were wounded all over their bodies. Two of them fell to the ground after running for a few steps. Blood flowed out from under their bodies and soaked the ground.The remaining one knelt down on one knee and raised his hand to call for help.

The tragedy was terrifying.In an instant, most of the heads crowded at the street window to watch the excitement disappeared.The open windows were also closed one after another, as if this could isolate the flames of war.

The guards stationed at the crossroads were also stunned. They thought that the barricades they built could deal with any incoming mutinies, but they didn't expect to be defeated in just one encounter.

After confirming that the opponent's chariot was destroyed, several 'gray wolves' bombarded the simple barricade built with horses and barbed wire with machine guns and grenades, and ran over it.

The Japanese armored soldiers who drove the "Grey Wolf" had actually fought in the Korean battlefield. In terms of experience and quality, they were far superior to the guards who were the "Master of the Eight Banners" in Tokyo.

When the street fighting started, Lieutenant General Kojiro Uchiyama, the chief attendant of Emperor Taisho, drove from his official residence to the Imperial Palace.When he was approaching the Hanzomon Gate of the Imperial Palace, he met Taro Taro, the military officer Watanabe who was leading a team to guard the place.

When the two sides met, they couldn't hide their panic.

Because of the interruption of communication, no one can tell what the situation is.Watanabe had only one platoon that was summoned temporarily, and they were all light infantry.He was sweating profusely and grabbed a pistol, unable to even comfort himself.

"Where is His Majesty the Emperor?"

"In the palace."

"Who started the mutiny?"

"do not know."

The two senior officers looked at each other. Lieutenant General Uchiyama could only run to the Ministry of Army across the street, and he could see the bombed-out buildings from a distance, as well as the densely packed officers and staff officers who were rescued at the scene—his eyes almost turned black Fainted.

In the case of unguided aerial bombing, it is considered accurate if the bomb dropped at 4000 meters can be dropped within 500 meters of the target.However, the radio-guided bomb can reduce the circular error to within 50 meters, and if you are lucky, you will hit the target.

A 'H-1' dropped four bombs, seemingly simple and easy.If it is a normal bombing tactic, hundreds of sorties are needed to cause the same damage effect.

Before Lieutenant General Uchiyama went to the Army Ministry to see what happened, the steel body of the 'Grey Wolf' appeared on the opposite side of the road.The defense of the Guards Division is like a membrane, which can be pierced through while struggling and resisting screams.

Uchiyama stood in the middle of the road, waved his hands and shouted at the chariot approaching: "Stop, no matter what demands you have, you can't go any further.

If you have any requirements, I will talk to you.This is the Imperial Palace, the residence of the Emperor, and disturbing His Majesty is a felony.You must stop. "

Inside the turret, the leading 'Grey Wolf' commander only saw the senior officer in the uniform of the lieutenant general blocking the road, and couldn't hear what the other party said at all.He ordered to the driver: "Run down that annoying guy."

Chapter 33 The Speed ​​of Light Solution

At No. 1 Ibancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, there is a building made of red bricks, which is the British Embassy in Japan.It is located on the opposite side of the moat 'Hanzo Ho' on the west side of the Imperial Palace, that is to say, it is in the center of the whirlpool of mutiny.

When China used military force to suppress Japan, diplomats from Britain, the United States and other countries strongly opposed it.The British ambassador to Japan MacDonald publicly expressed his support for Japan on diplomatic occasions one after another, but it was useless.

Regardless of 10 Downing Street or Buckingham Palace, the task entrusted to MacDonald is to maintain the status quo, but he cannot satisfy any demands of the ambassador.

They don't give money, and they don't send troops, so what's the use of talking about it?

When the mutiny occurred, the heavy aerial bombs that destroyed the Army Ministry shattered the glass windows of the British embassy.Including the ambassador, all embassy personnel ran to the window in unison, watching the little devil's Army Ministry's "Building No. [-]" smoking.

The foreign diplomats stationed in Tokyo suddenly ran around like ants on a hot pot, asking for news.

Reporters from all walks of life also took to the streets one after another, at least to take a few photos with historical significance in front of the bombed Army Ministry Building-sending them back to the UK will definitely make the headlines on the front page of The Times.

But the Guards Division quickly came out to block the streets, requiring all personnel to stay at home, and they were not allowed to pass with diplomatic certificates.All external communication was interrupted again, so the embassies of the great powers could only turn on the radio to listen to the news on the radio.

As expected, the broadcast in Tokyo stopped, and there was no movement.

It doesn't matter, diplomatic embassies all have professional radio communication antennas, which can receive short-wave signals from hundreds of kilometers away.The British embassy immediately locked the frequency on the 'Voice of Free Japan'.

When the statement that "the Chinese people should stand with the Japanese people" came out on the radio, the black hands behind the scenes surfaced.It's a pity that it's useless to know, and diplomats can only worry.

Ambassador McDonald stood at the gate of the embassy and could see the Hanzomon of the Imperial Palace.A group of Japanese soldiers armed with guns soon appeared on the opposite side to strengthen their defense, but judging from their panicked appearance, it was obvious that they had no confidence.

The car of Lieutenant General Uchiyama, Chief of the Emperor's Bodyguard, drove by near the embassy, ​​and Ambassador MacDonald also saw it.He had the idea of ​​going up to inquire about the news, but it was a pity that Lieutenant General Uchiyama didn't have time to answer.

Soon, Uchiyama died.

A 'Grey Wolf' from an armored company drove over, and the leading one knocked down Lieutenant General Nei Shan, and the following ones couldn't see the road clearly, so they pressed over.

Soon there was a disgusting mark of flesh, broken bones, and internal organs on the ground.Kind of like a dead mouse run over by a vehicle on the road, flat, flat, with corpses and military uniforms crushed together.

It's a bit like a postmodernist impressionist painting.

As for the small group of Japanese soldiers guarding the Hanzomon Gate, after being warned by the machine guns of the tanks, they simply got out of the way.

The army aide-de-camp in charge of the garrison did not learn from his boss to block the way.He waited at the door and respectfully asked the mutiny for the specific purpose.

The leading commander of the 'Grey Wolf' leaned out half of his body from the turret and shouted to Officer Watanabe: "We want Emperor Taisho to deliver a national speech to end the war, severely punish war criminals, and reform the country."

These requests... are very reasonable.

Dazuo Watanabe, nana for a long time, wanted to stop but dare not stop, bit the bullet and said that he would discuss with His Majesty the Emperor——the 'Grey Wolf' armored company simply ignored him, creaking into the Imperial Palace with its crawlers, approaching the Imperial Palace .

The situation seemed to stop at this moment, and there was no more fierce fighting in Tokyo.The guard divisions that blocked the streets became very dazed, they received orders from different command agencies.

Some told the army to fight to the end and defend the emperor to the death; some ordered the army to return to the barracks immediately and wait for follow-up orders; some even said that the mutiny had already controlled the emperor and the army would be purged.

Ambassador Macdonald has been in Japan for many years. He knows that the Japanese army does not want to fight this hopeless war again, but there are big differences on how to choose a decent end.

Now there is a need for a person with sufficient status to stand up and shout "no more fights", and officers at all levels will then relieve their responsibilities and give up resistance with peace of mind.

Ordinary people do not have such prestige, nor can they afford such a heavy responsibility.But the little devil Emperor, who usually doesn't care about things, can really - the mascot who has never been responsible can of course shout 'truce and surrender' instead of all the citizens.

MacDonald really wanted to visit the Imperial Palace, but soon a large number of armed men re-occupied the streets, disarmed the nearby Guards Division, and continued to enforce martial law.

Later, the composition of armed personnel was diverse, some were workers from Tokyo, some were students and sailors, and even included the rebel garrison, but the main force was a force called the 'Japanese Liberation Army'.

These mutinies tied white cloths around their arms, and sent special personnel to block the entrances of the embassies of various countries, calling it "protection", but actually prohibiting internal and external contact.The British guy in the embassy could just listen to the radio.

Before dark, the Tokyo Broadcasting Tower resumed its work. First, the Imperial Household Ministry, which is responsible for the general affairs of the imperial palace, announced that there would be important matters to be announced. All citizens, officials and the army are invited to listen carefully.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Taisho Emperor Yuyin broadcasts.

"In view of the general trend of the world and the current state of the empire, I want to take extraordinary measures to clean up the situation. I would like to tell you and other loyal subjects:..."

There are many Japanese employees in the British embassy.When the inauthentic voice came out from the radio, some of these people lost their souls, some wept loudly, and some shouted: "Don't listen, don't listen, this is made up by the traitors of the country, not the emperor."

In the broadcast, Taisho did not announce unconditional surrender, but announced the dismissal of a series of senior officers in the military, and at the same time recognized the legalization of mutiny, which he supported.

"Japan's national power is exhausted and people's livelihood is difficult. It is difficult to have the strength to defend the homeland. Continuing the war will only make the country miserable. I agree to be responsible for the truce negotiations with China according to the conditions proposed by the Prime Minister."

The Japanese army is still strong, the navy is not completely finished, and China has no atomic bombs.There are many people in the army who think they still have the strength to fight.These rhetoric of Taisho are obviously easier to be accepted by the people than calling for surrender.

As the ambassador to Japan, Macdonald pays special attention to every word of Taisho and deduces various meanings from it.The Japanese who listened to the radio learned that the country still had some face and less resistance.

Taisho's "Yuyin Broadcasting" lasted only a few minutes. After repeating several times in the broadcast, the Prime Minister Miura Neiyasu came out to speak.talk

Miura's speech was much more severe. First, he reprimanded the military department for forcibly dragging 5000 million people into the abyss of war, regardless of the national economy and people's livelihood, and committed unforgivable war crimes.

At the same time, he announced that he would set up an 'armistice special committee' to take over the power of the army and the government, and negotiate with the Chinese side as soon as possible.

Members of the committee apparently included people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of the Army, Ministry of the Navy, and people from the industrial and commercial circles, and even for the first time there were many representatives of workers and peasants.

But these people have either been instigated by China, or they have temporarily joined the mutiny team.For example, the representative of the Ministry of the Navy is an "inner ghost" like Jiro Toyoshima who holds real power.

In response, the "Voice of Free Japan" welcomed Prime Minister Miura's speech that night, and announced on behalf of the Chinese government that it would provide free food aid to Japan to solve the imminent food shortage.

"Free?" Ambassador Macdonald stood by the radio and complained angrily, "The ones that don't cost money are the most expensive. I, Daying, are too proficient in this trick, so there must be other conditions attached."

The next day, the British got the news of the start of contact between China and Japan from the inside line of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs-Chinese negotiators actually appeared in Tokyo immediately. It can only be said that this mutiny has been planned for a long time.

The insider provided the British with a memorandum of negotiation. The headline was that China and Japan formed a joint fleet-joint?fleet? !

When Macdonald saw this, he was stunned on the spot, his head was buzzing - good guy, the Chinese really know how to play.Taking advantage of someone's illness is killing someone!

The most essential part of the Japanese army is the navy.This combination seems to be equal and reasonable.But the military organization is not a play house. Who will command the fleet?Even with my toes, I can understand that it is impossible to follow the Japanese command!

Who said that the Chinese are ignorant and honest and can't play tricks?Isn't this a good way to play?

The second article is that China establishes an East Asian peacekeeping force and recruits the Japanese Army to maintain peace and stability in East Asia. Seeing this article, Ambassador MacDonald's false fire came up.

East Asia, maintenance, and peace, these three very common words put together, immediately point out China's ambitions in this region-China itself almost became a colony of Western powers in East Asia, and now it has some strength to start maintaining peace.

Now the Philippines is in the hands of the United States, Vietnam is in the hands of France, and Malaysia and Myanmar are in the hands of the United Kingdom.The Dutch in Indonesia were driven out, but in fact it was still the territory of the British.

This peacekeeping is clearly an eye salve for the great powers through the use of national independence.At the same time, give Japan a pressure relief valve to consume its excess population.

The rest is Sino-Japanese economic and trade cooperation, and Japan’s Ministry of Finance should strengthen cooperation with China’s Ministry of Finance.

Although there are no details literally, but with the British way of thinking, you can make up a lot of twists and turns.In terms of loans and debts alone, there are countless pits to dig.

The World Bank of later generations likes to use the economic crisis to issue loans to unlucky countries.The American consortium stands behind the World Bank, desperately cutting leeks with a sickle in hand, and buying high-quality assets in other countries at low prices.

It seems that the achievements of Japan's Meiji Restoration cannot be kept.

According to MacDonald's prediction, China should propose the common means of encroachment by great powers such as land cession and compensation.As long as there are these clauses, Britain can naturally make a big fuss, provoke the emotions of the Japanese people and the army, and make trouble from it.

But now that the negotiation memorandum is proposed, all means are hidden under the words.What unite, assist, promote, cooperate, every word sounds nice, but what qualifications does the defeated country have to enjoy the rights and interests?

These are all tricks to kill without blood.

But for Japan, which is in trouble, it is easier for the people to accept this, and the military is less resistant.This is the practice of a real politician, an upright conspiracy to let the opponent jump into the fire pit by himself.

At the end of the memorandum, it is proposed that Kyushu Island should be designated as a special economic zone of Japan and given policy support as a model project of Sino-Japanese cooperation.

Macdonald doesn't understand the special features of the special economic zone, but he always feels that China eats very elegantly. When cutting the flesh with a knife, they don't forget to give anesthesia to the prey. By the way, they praise their cooperation very well, which is conducive to peace and development.

Isn't this much better than the bloody massacre and looting by the Western powers?The cost is still low.The little devil has to count the money for China after being sold.

Chapter 34 Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance

"Chinese is the most beautiful language in the world. Since ancient times, countless articles and poems in China and Japan have used Chinese as a carrier. It is a national memory and a historical treasure.

Only by learning and using Chinese characters well can we abandon the feudal dross, correctly guide the people's thinking, carry forward the excellent culture of the Yamato nation, and build a better future. "

When Zhou Qingfeng, from the Policy Research Office of the State Council saw this passage in the Japanese editorial of the upcoming "Renren's Day", he couldn't help complaining: "Who wrote this blindly?"

'Old Master' raised his head from the pile of books behind the desk and shouted, "I wrote it. What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"It's the national teacher." Zhou Qingfeng lowered his tone a little, "It's pretty good. I just don't know if the little devil recognizes it?"

"Don't worry." The 'Old Master' patted Slender Jingjing's chest, and said: "People have a mentality of admiration for the strong, and they also have the motivation to learn from the strong, and so does society.

In the past, when Japan was strong, a large number of Chinese people went to Japan to study.

But now the situation has reversed, and China has surpassed Japan in terms of economy, military power, and politics.Culturally, we can crush them even more.

I just want to take advantage of the little devils being beaten into a daze, and try my best to instill some correct ideas in them.Besides, I am not mistaken, Chinese has indeed been the cultural mainstream in the East Asian cultural circle for thousands of years.

If you don't know Chinese, you can't read Japanese and Korean historical classics at all.Even Vietnam now uses Chinese, not the Latin alphabet created by the French.

Japanese and Korean will be similar to local dialects in the future and can be retained.But Chinese characters are still taught in schools. 'Cars on the same track, books on the same text', the words of the ancestors are not wrong. "

Oops...that seems to make sense.
