Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Glimmer of Life

readx;

Iijima Kamezo was originally a subordinate of Muto Akira in the Second Guards Division, but many people don't know that Iijima Kamezo is still Muto Akira's fellow countryman and apprentice. From www.biquge.info the moment Iijima Kamezo walked into the main hall, Muto Akira was thinking about what to do with this loser who betrayed the empire, but now, he didn't think so, because the appearance of Iijima Kamezo gave him a glimmer of light, a glimmer of light when he left the mainland with the remnants of the 2nd Guards Division and went to America.

Muto Akira actually knew that the empire itself was at the end of the road, and Muto Akira had already guessed this result from the time when the umbrella attacked Kyushu Island strongly. Taking over the responsibility of the defense of the homeland from Hideki Tojo, Muto Akihara wanted to stay on the mainland and fight with the invading Shina army, at least he couldn't fall into his status as a soldier. However, from the moment the other party launched an attack on the city of Tokyo, Muto Akira was timid, and he suddenly envied his colleagues who had been transferred to the Americas to continue the war.

The appearance of Iijima Kamezo made Muto Akira see hope, and what Iijima Kamezo said just now was not wrong, no matter whether there was a ceasefire or not to negotiate with the Shina Army, Tokyo would not be able to keep it. If he heeded Iijima's persuasion and chose to take the initiative to cease fire and negotiate with the Shina Army, he might be able to save the remaining troops in his hands. Out of selfishness, Muto Zhang, who was entangled in his heart, thought about it very carefully, and finally ordered the envoy of the expeditionary force who accompanied Iijima Kamezo to enter the main hall.

There were two envoys of the expeditionary force who accompanied Iijima Kamezo into the palace, one was Huffman who volunteered to Zhuo Fei, and the other was Zhang Lingpu, who was born ** but took the initiative to recommend himself. Zhuo Fei originally didn't want to send Zhang Lingpu into the palace, but Zhang Lingpu said that he had never entered the palace in his life, and Zhuo Fei was secretly surprised by the audacity of this goods, and immediately agreed to Zhang Lingpu's request. Walking into the hall full of Japanese generals, Huffman walked all the way and looked around, but Zhang Lingpu didn't squint and just stared at Muto Zhang.

Huffman's performance was annoying, while Zhang Lingpu acted more like a door-to-door provocateur, and Muto's first impression of both men was not good. Kamezo Iijima, who had not made a sound, got up and stood up, introducing Huffman and Zhang Lingpu to Muto Zhang and the others in the main hall, and learned that Zhang Lingpu, who had a cold face, was a ** general, and Huffman, who was smiling and blonde-haired, was the captain of the umbrella boss's guard, and Muto Zhang's attention couldn't help but fall on Huffman.

"General Muto Akira, I'm here on behalf of my boss for those Japanese civilians east of Tokyo." To Muto's surprise, the blonde-haired Huffman was able to speak fluent Japanese. "First of all, the entire Tokyo city is left with the Imperial Palace in your hands, it's not that you are strong enough, but my boss doesn't want this beautiful palace to be destroyed by the war, after all, this Imperial Palace carries a piece of your Japanese history."

Huffman's words sounded very angry to Muto Akira and others, but everyone knew that this unpleasant yellow hair was telling the truth. Ignoring the angry glares of the young officers around him, Huffman reached out and rubbed the wooden crutches in the hall, and his eyes were even more unabashedly greedy. "Your Excellency, my boss said that if you can order the Japanese troops in Tokyo to lay down their arms on their own initiative, we can allow you to leave Tokyo safely, even the Japanese mainland."

has been secretly observing the expressions and reactions of Muto Zhang and others with the corner of his eye, and after receiving Zhang Lingpu's hint, Huffman simply stopped rubbing against these defeated generals, and directly said what Zhuo Fei explained to himself. "Impossible, if you want us to lay down our arms, this is simply impossible, we are emperors, and soldiers will not lay down their arms on the battlefield." Muto Zhang stood up and whispered at Huffman, and the young officers in the hall were even more clamoring to kill Huffman and Zhang Lingpu.

"Come on, come on, see which of us dies first." Zhang Lingpu, who had been silent, opened his mouth and shouted, striding forward, he tore off his military shirt with all his might, and the explosives neatly tied to his chest appeared in the sight of Muto Zhang and others. Zhang Lingpu's right hand firmly grasped a fuse rope, and he continued to roar at Muto Zhang and the others, "Come on, take out your bushido spirit, show your sword if you have the courage, let's compare who is faster." ”

Including Huffman, no one thought that Zhang Lingpu, who was already a senior general, would actually play such a single move, but Huffman showed surprise, while Muto Zhang and others showed timidity. "General Zhang, there is no need for this, the division commander will definitely make the right choice." Iijima Kamezo opened his arms and stopped between Zhang Lingpu and Muto Zhang, and pleaded with Zhang Lingpu.

Huffman took a deep breath and regained his composure before continuing to say to Muto Akira, "Your Excellency, we don't have much time, and we don't have much time left for you to think about it. My boss said that this is the only opportunity for you, and if you insist on resisting to the end, perhaps we will have to raze you to the ground with artillery fire along with this beautiful palace. But I don't think that ending is what you want, because it's a beautiful palace. ”

Muto Akira was annoyed by Huffman's almost ridiculous tone, but now, the handle of the knife was in the other party's hand, and it was himself who was at a disadvantage. Kamezo Iijima also turned to look at Muto Akira at the right time, "Division Commander, for the sake of those imperial soldiers in the city, please give up your resistance." If we agree to the Chinese's terms now, perhaps these children will have a chance to live, and besides, there are still a large number of civilians in the country who need time to leave. ”

Iijima's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Muto Akira's heart, and Huffman added another blow when he saw the stitches, "Your Excellency, so far, our army has captured more than 600,000 prisoners of war, including 150,000 regular soldiers, and the rest are civilians who have taken the initiative to lay down their arms to us. Between life and death, these people have obviously chosen to continue to survive, maybe for their sake, it shouldn't be difficult for you to make choices and decisions, generals, right? ”

600,000 prisoners of war, a figure that opened Muto's eyes wide, and he now finally understood why the Shina army had invaded the city of Tokyo so quickly, because the defenses he had deployed outside the city had not worked at all. After that, the disheartened Muto Akira looked around at the young officers in the main hall, including his chief of staff, almost all of them had lost their fighting spirit, and were replaced by a relaxed face.

Muto Akira knows that any normal person will make the right choice when faced with such a situation, and no one will be stupid to continue a battle with no chance of winning at all. "I can order the Imperial troops in the city to lay down their arms, and on my terms, I will lead my guards to remain in the palace all the time. You must first release the Imperial soldiers you have captured, along with the Imperial soldiers in the city, and as long as these Imperial soldiers who have laid down their arms can leave the land safely, I will lead my guards out of the palace, and then you can do whatever you want. ”

Huffman was not at all surprised by Muto Zhang's conditions, in fact, before Zhuo Fei planned to send an envoy to persuade Muto Zhang to cease fire, he had already considered that Muto Zhang would take the opportunity to put forward conditions. And Zhuo Fei's staff group has made many deductions about this, so Hefman directly replied to these conditions put forward by Muto Zhang at this time. "Your Excellency, in fact, not only can we guarantee that the soldiers you are talking about will leave the mainland, but we will also agree that you will leave with as many of your civilians as possible, and for this reason, we will temporarily abandon our military plans for the port of Sendai."

Huffman's words made Muto Akira frown, but Huffman's next words made Muto Akira frown, "Your Excellency, General, in line with the principle of reciprocity, since our side unconditionally released those 600,000 prisoners of war and placed Sendai Port under the jurisdiction of your army, then, your army should also do something small for us." My boss said that as long as you can persuade the Japanese troops in the Philippines to lay down their arms as well, we can also promise the Philippine Japanese troops and the expatriates to leave safely. ”

It was only at this time that Muto Zhang finally understood that the real purpose of daring to send an envoy to meet with him was for the Philippines. A sense of desolation rose in his heart for no reason, and Muto Akira said in a deep voice to Huffman, "Go back and tell your boss that if you want me to agree to these conditions for you, let him come and talk to me in person." The umbrella is famous, and I'm sure your boss won't be a timid either. ”

Huffman suddenly smiled at this time, "General Muto Akira, my boss is very busy, I'm afraid I don't have time to meet with you in person." And you don't have to play any agitation with our umbrella, our conditions are these, and the time left for you is only half an hour. I hope you can make the right choice, and don't bring those irrelevant people with you to bury, at least, in my personal opinion, it is very unwise. ”

As if to prove that Huffman's words were true, the gunfire outside the palace that had stopped rang out again, and a Japanese officer who hurried into the main hall whispered a few words in Muto Zhang's ear, and Muto Zhang, who was originally pale, looked weaker and weaker. Hefman and Zhang Lingpu, who turned to leave, didn't know how Muto Zhang and the others discussed, and less than half an hour after the two of them walked out of the palace, a Japanese officer appeared under the palace gate with a white flag.

"How? I just said, there is no need to waste more ammunition, as long as the Japanese soldiers in the palace are not stupid, they will make the right choice, Muto Akira, this old guy is not a guy who can give up his life at all, as long as such a person sees the life-saving straw, he will desperately hold on to it. Looking at the white flag that appeared under the palace gate from a distance, Zhuo Fei outside the palace was full of smiles, and the officers of the expeditionary force standing beside him were even more laughing.
