Main headquarters of the Japanese Empire, Nagano, Matsushiro.

On November 4, 1942, simultaneous landings began in Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku.

February 26, 1943. U.S. forces landed on Kanto, and Russian troops landed on Tohoku on the 28th.

The Japanese Empire was clearly falling apart.

“Did you say Tokyo collapsed?”

“Kill me!”

I didn’t have the energy to say anything. it’s just amazing

“Where did the U.S. Army go?”

“Currently, the US military appears to be heading south toward Nagoya. The advance of the U.S. forces was also identified in Gunma and Nikata, but it is believed that this was merely to reduce the power of the Imperial Army and stabilize the rear.”

“How is Tohoku going?”

“The 12th Army Headquarters has announced that they will be jailed in Sendai.”

Without saying that I can win, I’ll just shut up the words I sent. This meant that the situation was hopeless.

Even after that, communication was completely cut off, and it was difficult to determine whether the Russian army had reached Sendai or Fukushima.

The US even sent some of its troops to southern Honshu. Although it was only a tribute, the condition of Japan was so miserable that even the tribute could not be endured. The U.S. forces, which had crossed over from Kyushu to Shimonoseki, crushed all the resistance of the imperial army and reached Hiroshima by land, and were now advancing towards Osaka, beyond Tottori.

Now it was clear.

The kingdom was over. The Allied Armored Forces had already swept across Hsinchu, and they could not afford to resist.

“Can you keep the gods?”

“To the last person, I am willing to be jailed……”

“Isn’t there a prospect?”

“……”

“Isn’t there any other way to protect Manseil World?”

If there is no escape, no way to resist. But if you don’t want to die.

Isn’t there one way?

“line.”

“Your Majesty, it is an honor to meet you.”

“It’s not like I’m seeing you for a day or two, so I’m going to go ahead and skip it.”

The US ambassador to Russia laughed embarrassedly.

“As you may have heard, a few days ago the Japs boss offered to surrender. He said he would surrender unconditionally as long as he guarantees the maintenance of the emperor system.”

“If you see me coming, do you think it would be good to accept surrender in your home country?”

“Opinion has not been received yet. In the beginning, the fact that unconditional surrender on the condition of maintaining the emperor system does not make sense is ignoring it, and there is a conflict between the side who wants to ignore it, and the side that it is okay to accept the surrender since there is a lot of damage to the allies.”

“What about the doctor of your country?”

“You seem to be thinking that it would be better to accept surrender…”

“Tell the president of your country, I am clearly opposed to this, saying that unconditional surrender on condition is a joke, and that the war will continue until they declare themselves unequivocally ‘submitted’ and come out with a white flag.”

“…. All right.”

Separately, the issue of the division of Japan ended with a line linking Iwaki-Niigata, effectively splitting Fukushima Prefecture in half. It was around the border between the Russian and American forces.

Instead, acknowledging the uniqueness of the capital city, it was decided to divide and occupy Tokyo by cutting it in half exactly like the original Berlin, but it was a bit uncomfortable.

“Let’s further strengthen the air strikes on the central mountainous area where the emperor is hiding. Then they will understand the situation.”

It’s not the time for these guys to be cheeky.

-The presentation of the conditions for surrender of the Japanese Empire is not worth the effort. To this reckless behavior of arguing and placing conditions on unconditional surrender, the Allied Powers High Command felt no answer to this and attacked until they realized that the Japanese Empire itself had no choice but to surrender without any conditions and literally unconditional surrender. have no choice but to continue Ultimately, the Japanese government is responsible for both property damage and casualties caused by this…

The faces of those who were listening to the radio broadcast darkened.

“If this happens, you have no choice but to fight until you die, don’t you?”

“Let’s lock down to the last person!”

There were people who said things like this.

“It’s all over now. We are dead.”

“The military bastards are going to commit suicide with the entire Japanese, ahh… Will we ever see the rising sun again?”

or say something like this

Hirohito, sandwiched between them, quietly opened his mouth.

“What do they say?”

“It is said that those responsible will be held accountable for the war through trial, after which the government of the Empire will be re-established through free democratic elections.”

“Did you say that you will put Jim in the courtroom too?”

“It will never happen! At the moment of blasphemy against His Majesty the Emperor, even the last person will hold up a gun and resist. They will have to face the tyranny of 100 million subjects!”

“…not specified.”

At first, there was no mention of the emperor at all.

“They said it was the government, but there was no mention of the imperial family. Looking at the examples of Germany and England, they blamed the cabinet, not the imperial family. I will not commit any blasphemy.”

it was dog shit The reason that the Russian army did not touch the British and German royal families was that Edward VIII, who was responsible for the war, was accidentally blown up, the other British royals were not charged with any war crimes or the start of a war, and Wilhelm III died mysteriously. It was because it was not in good shape to bring the royal family to court in the position of establishing the Hohenzollern family as empress, so the German Empire agreed to take care of the imperial matter, and instead, starting with the Junkers and robbing only the lower ranks. .

Right now, the Savoy dynasty of the Kingdom of Italy was scheduled to be expelled for confiscation of all property without any exceptions, but it was the case with Japan’s Happiness Council.

“Russia and the United States must eventually come into conflict, and then Russia will try to use the Empire to oppose the United States, and the United States will use the Empire to confine Russia to the continent. Therefore, ending the Manseil World would be quite a burden for them as well, and even if they surrender, the Manseil World will be maintained. They would not dare.”

In fact, the concept of setting a monarch to a judge on the charge of ‘sin against peace’ was unheard of. During World War I, the French ran down the road saying that they would put Wilhelm II on trial, but it was canceled due to Russian opposition.

That is why it was possible to overheat such a happy circuit.

Eventually, Hirohito opened his mouth.

“I can no longer stand by and watch my subjects suffer.”

it was dog shit Since when was he a patriot monarch?

Even if all the subjects died without leaving a single person behind, if they could keep the throne, they would not have cared much, but now such a ceremonial act was important.

“Send communication to the Americans and Russians, telling them that they will accept their demands.”

May 27, 1943, noon.

-I would like to inform your subjects who have prepared themselves for the situation as an emergency measure in consideration of the global trend and the current situation of the empire. Jim made the imperial government notify the unconditional surrender of the US and Russia…

The voice recorded by Hirohito spread through the communication network.

“your majesty.”

“….. okay.”

Japanese surrender.

The defeat of the last remaining Axis powers.

“We won.”

After a moment of silence, cheers echoed throughout Stavka.

“I won!”

“We won!”

“Long live the Russian Empire!”

Olga put her hand on my shoulder in the midst of the cheering crowd from all sides.

“Good work.”

“It would have been difficult if you hadn’t taken good care of the rear.”

“What did I do, it was possible by passing a lot to the cabinet.”

I fully realized why dictators can’t live long. Whether in wartime or peacetime, there are usually not many things to do to properly build a country. Look at that stinky man over there, he’s so skinny.

now all that’s left

“Your Majesty, we too…”

“Yeah, we should announce the victory.”

“Don’t you have a script written in advance? Recording right away…”

“Okay, let’s get it ready now, and remember, it’s not over yet.”

“……Yes?”

“The war is over, but isn’t it more difficult than ending the war to deal with the aftermath?”

“… it is.”

“Now, the bombs are going to rain in earnest, so let’s get your expectations right.”

I smiled and left.

A few hours later, preparations for recording were in full swing in the broadcasting room.

I also read the script a few times and understood the contents.

“I’m ready.”

“All right.”

As the cue sign fell, I opened my mouth.

“To all the soldiers of Russia and all the subjects of the Empire, I declare that the Russian Empire has finally won this great war.”

“Kneeling to the armies of the Russian Empire and our allies, the United States of America, the Axis Powers acknowledged their defeat and declared unconditional surrender.”

I spoke out and mentioned a few nitty-gritty details about the schedule of surrender and the place where it will be formally received.

“Everyone living on this land, this great war has ended with our total and complete victory, the wars in Europe, Asia and the world have come to an end, and now the time of peace and development has come. I sincerely want to share this joy with you.”

“For the independence and justice of the whole world, let us pay endless tribute to our troops for their heroic victories by overthrowing their enemies, and to our workers and peasants who produced military supplies for this purpose, and send them to the battlefield. To the parents who raised them, and to the subjects of all empires, infinite glory.”

“And an infinite tribute to the heroes who gave their lives for the freedom and happiness of all who inhabit the Empire, from the smallest to the greatest, in the fight against the foes that threaten the freedom and peace of the world.”

June 6, 1943. Schleswig, Denmark.

The end of all wars must be where it all began.

According to such a claim, the declaration of the end of the World War was made in Schleswig, Denmark. In the United States, the surrender ceremony had to be signed at Pearl Harbor at all, but if you go back that way, you will have to sign a treaty in Manchuria, so it was just concluded in Schleswig, Denmark, the place where the actual world war began.

U.S. Representative, U.S. Commander-in-Chief George C. Marshall.

Representative of the Russian Army, Alexander Mikhailovich Vasilevsky, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army.

French representative, Marshal Philippe Patin.

Subsequent other Allied representatives signed the Japanese surrender document in order.

With this, World War II was completely ended.
