"Boom" was accompanied by a violent explosion, and a Japanese machine-gun bunker that was firing fiercely was blasted into the air, and yellow-colored fragments of military uniforms and machine gun parts were faintly visible in the high-rise dust. The www.biquge.info two heavy tanks, painted in black, plunged headlong into the scattered dust, and by the time they opened fire, they were already less than 100 meters away from the Japanese position. In the end, the Japanese cabinet did not make a decision on the plan presented by Hideki Tojo, but the next day, the Japanese cabinet was surprised to find that almost all the Chinese troops confronting the Japanese army had launched an attack together.

In particular, the Chinese troops encircling Shanghai broke through several Japanese defense lines in succession, so that the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai suffered more than 1,000 casualties. "Yaga, what the hell is the damn Shina man trying to do?" The Japanese base camp was full of scolding Japanese officers, and after lunch, they received the news of the defeat of the Shanghai garrison.

After dealing with the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai, the greatly encouraged Chinese army turned its attention to the city of Nanjing, which was controlled by the puppet government, and the Japanese troops stationed in Nanjing immediately reduced their forces to prepare for the possibility of war. After accepting the surrender of the remaining Japanese troops, the Nationalist troops besieging the Japanese army in Shanghai followed the route of the original Nationalist army's rout from Shanghai to Nanjing, and the servant troops who received Zhuo Fei's order also rushed to Shanghai from Huangshan to take over the defense.

In order to take back the Shanghai concession, Zhuo Fei tried his best to persuade the Chongqing high-level officials to agree to his deployment. "At the moment, there is a world war, and although we have not really joined the anti-fascist alliance definitively, in fact, those crumbling Western countries are very much hoping that we can do our best to contain the Japanese army. Since we have made our efforts, we must get the benefits we deserve, and recovering the Shanghai concession is the first step. ”

Zhuo Fei repeatedly assured that Britain and the United States would not make enemies with Chongqing because of this matter, and Chongqing has always been skeptical about this, so there was a matter of the servant army going north to take over Shanghai. The operation of the servant army into the city was very smooth, in fact, before the siege of the national army, the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai had already tossed the **** of those foreigners in the concession. At present, the servant army unit representing the umbrella is appearing on the streets of Shanghai as a savior, and no matter how much the Westerners in the Shanghai concession despise these South Asian natives, the servant army has taken over the defense of Shanghai.

A large number of people hired by the servant army began to clean up the messy city, all the Japanese prisoners of war and overseas Chinese who surrendered to the Nationalist army were moved to a concentration camp more than 30 kilometers away from Hangzhou for temporary resettlement, and all Japanese property was confiscated by a verification team sent to Shanghai by Chongqing. "Gentlemen, don't tell me this, I only look at the title deeds, and I can't be sure that these houses belong to you just because you say them casually." The inspection team sent by Chongqing has been surrounded by Westerners in the Shanghai Concession for no other reason than to get back from the inspection team their homes or property that had been sealed by the inspection team.

The inspection team has received more than one verbal threat or intercession and warning of various situations, but under the watchful eye of the servant army, the members of the inspection team do not dare to open up to these Westerners who have no way to turn their fingers. "You all have to keep in mind that Shanghai is Chinese territory, and everything here belongs to China. Besides, all the things we sealed were captured from the Japanese army, and when those big-nosed people came to shout again, they told them to settle accounts with the Japanese. Chiang Kai-shek's subsequent envoy to Shanghai taught the members of the inspection team a good lesson.

The inspection team, which had been looking very talkative, suddenly turned its face, and after arresting a few Britons who dared to make trouble, the other foreigners in the concession were all honest. Compared with the Japanese army, the servants stationed in Shanghai looked very harmless, but the weapons in their hands were capable of killing people, especially after the servant army pickets shot more than a dozen gang members in the concession in broad daylight, the inspection team's operation of sealing the property in the concession area went much more smoothly.

The siege of Shanghai went smoothly, and the sudden appearance of the US-Australian combined fleet under MacArthur in the waters off Hainan Island was even more unexpected to the Japanese cabinet. At a time when the Japanese cabinet thought that the Chinese army might launch an attack on the southeast coastal zone, the combined fleet of the United States and Australia, which was supposed to be in the Philippine theater, suddenly appeared on Hainan Island, which indicated that the Chinese had really joined forces with the United States and Britain. The Japanese cabinet was alarmed by this, and while the war in the Americas continued to expand, the empire's control over Asia was so diminished that there were now cases of China joining forces with the United States and Britain.

All of this made the Japanese cabinet and the emperor panic, the United States and Britain had already caused a large number of casualties in the Imperial army by providing military aid to China, and now the two sides were really fighting together, and the empire could no longer bear heavy casualties. Such a grim situation forced the Japanese cabinet to bring out the plan proposed by Hideki Tojo to move to the east again for discussion, and at this meeting, nearly half of the cabinet members supported the plan, and the emperor also agreed with it after careful consideration.

"It's really frustrating to leave our homeland, but we're leaving now to return to our homeland tomorrow." Hideki Tojo, who didn't want to be infamous, began to convince the cabinet members who had voted against it. "Compared to the mainland, the American continent is vast and has a lot of resources. Now that the Imperial Army has opened up the situation on the American continent, if we can seize this great opportunity to take root on the American continent, it will only take a few years of painstaking development and accumulation of strength, and when the Empire returns to Asia, it will be the time for the whole of Asia to submit to the Empire. ”

"But the local population has exceeded 70 million, and how can we safely send more than 70 million people to the American continent without the army and supporting logistics personnel?" A cabinet member who rarely spoke asked a question that almost everyone had ignored, and even Hideki Tojo, who was confident in the plan, was speechless about the question. Yes, the number of Japanese nationals in Japan exceeded 70 million at the beginning of 1937, and now it is suddenly 75 million.

Mobilize all the ships that can be used to help transport the people, but it will require the consumption of a huge amount of oil and supplies, not to mention that the Imperial Combined Fleet has suffered heavy losses in the English Naval War, even if the Combined Fleet returns to the mainland, I am afraid it will not be able to undertake such a heavy transportation task. "Our forces in the Americas have taken control of Florida and captured a large number of ships that have not yet been built, and if we send a group of shipbuilders to the continent first, maybe in three or two months, we will have a large fleet of ships." Hideki Tojo was unwilling to give up this opportunity, and he was still lobbying the cabinet members and the emperor vigorously.

"Mexico should have a navy too, right?" The Emperor stood up and walked over to the map hanging on the wall, looked at it carefully, and then turned back and asked a question that all the members of the Cabinet could answer. "Then find Mexico to borrow ships, plus our mainland and Taiwanese ships, we can use our ships to send our nationals to Hawaii first, and then use the ships we captured or borrowed in the Americas to transfer the nationals from Hawaii to the American continent." The Umbrella had done the feat of transporting millions of Jews from faraway Europe to Asia, and now it was Japan's turn, and the ever-proud Japanese emperor thought that a country could be more powerful than a private organization.

After a fierce dispute, the Cabinet, in consultation with the Emperor, decided to divide the people into three, six, nine, and so on. The upper class of society and their families will be the first to leave the country with the leaders in weapons and science and technology, the second group will leave the young and skilled workers of appropriate age who have received the conscription warrant, the third group will be military dependents and propertied people, and the old, weak, sick and disabled and the local defense forces will be the last in line.

"Perhaps we can renegotiate with the Chinese and exchange the vast amount of supplies and time we need at the cost of a complete withdrawal of imperial troops from China." Towards the end of the meeting, the Emperor, who had long been regarded as a mascot by the Cabinet, made a proposal that the Cabinet members did not expect, and after a few breaths, the Cabinet members unanimously agreed. It has always been Japan's forte to create opportunities for itself to stall for negotiations, and this time, Fumima Konoe, the prime minister, plans to make a trip to China himself.

"The Chinese should be happy with the empire's withdrawal from Asia, so the purpose of our trip to China this time is not only to get supplies, but also to get help from the Chinese government, such as oil and ships." Fumima Konoe seemed very sure about his upcoming trip to China, because there were too many of his acquaintances in the Chongqing government.

Zhuo Fei, who had returned to Jiaodong, did not know that the Japanese cabinet had decided to withdraw eastward to the Americas, and he was still preparing to carry out another air raid on the Japanese mainland, and the opening of navigation between the Jiaodong Peninsula and Incheon made Zhuo Fei even more excited. "Mr. Jin Jiu, what our umbrella promised you is about to come true, and now is the time for you to return to the Korean Peninsula. I have ordered the Korean Independence Army (KIA) to assemble at Incheon, and as soon as you disembark at Incheon, you and your men can receive the KIA immediately. ”
