Chapter 38: The Last Chance (1)

"General, we have just received information that the Chinese government has declared war on Japan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" As soon as he woke up in the morning, before Zhuo Fei could wash his face and brush his teeth, the bloodshot intelligence staff officer sent a telegram from Chongqing. After reading the telegram sent by the intelligence staff officer, the big stone that had been hanging in Zhuo Fei's heart was finally able to land, and China's declaration of war on Japan would not only be able to provide more troops to the battlefield on the Japanese mainland, but on the other hand, it would also temporarily ease the rising friction and conflict situation at home.

Chiang Kai-shek, who represented the coalition government, told the world in Chongqing that China had declared war on Japan again, and the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union were running to rejoice with each other, while Japan was completely chaotic, and once China joined the umbrella war against the Japanese mainland, it would mean that more than one million troops would be transported to Kyushu or Shikoku in the shortest possible time after the meeting. What to do? Hideki Tojo didn't have an idea this time, if it was just a protective umbrella, the Japanese army could still handle it, but if China was added, then there would be no chance of winning at all.

Junichiro Ogawa, who had only returned to Kyoto for a few days, was sent to Kyushu Island again, and the artillery fire and broken defense line in front of him made Junichiro Ogawa look dumbfounded, as if the last time he came here, this place was not the current broken picture. Junichiro Ogawa, who didn't dare to stay longer, rushed directly to the area where the two armies were fighting, and then only took a few relatives to enter the position of the expeditionary force holding high the white flag, and after informing him of his identity and intentions, Junichiro Ogawa and his party were sent to Kumamoto.

In order to put pressure on the Japanese troops in the northern part of Kyushu Island, and also to prevent local civilians from sneaking up on the army, the Umbrella Force entering Kyushu Island will take the expulsion of local residents as its first task, so there are almost no Japanese civilians in the area controlled by the Umbrella Force. When Junichiro Ogawa arrived in Kumamoto, Zhuo Fei was gathering a group of scholars and pawnshop worshippers who were in charge of sorting out the loot to soak in the hot springs, and all the sorted loot had been packed and sent back to Jeju Island by the transport fleet in the near future.

"Seniors, most of these things were robbed by the Japanese Chinese, and it is not considered evil for us to take these things back now, and the Japanese should have this consciousness from the day they invaded China." Seeing that the scholars who were invited from Beiping looked a little uncomfortable, Zhuo Fei persuaded the other party in a timely manner, but the pawnshop worshippers with goatees disdained this, in their opinion, if they could snatch things back from Japan, that is, Zhuo Fei had the ability.

"Having said that, we still have some patience in our hearts, after all, fighting a war is a matter for the army, and it has little to do with these ordinary people. These days, I watched your army drive away all the Japanese civilians in Kumamoto Prefecture, without food or drink, but I don't know how many civilians will die. A professor from Peking University frowned, and his eyes were even more sad and anxious.

"Professor Niu, you're not right about what you said." Before Zhuo Fei could speak, a pawnshop Chao Feng who was soaking in the pool next to him sneered. "Since the little devils attacked the city in Wanping, there have been fewer deaths among our Chinese people? The soldiers under General Zhuo had only driven them out of Kumamoto Prefecture, which could already be regarded as good. If it were someone like us, we would have to kill him here in the dark, and it would be regarded as revenge for those compatriots who died in vain. ”

The refutation of the pawnshop Chaofeng made Professor Niu speechless, the hatred between China and Japan has been coming for a long time, and now the umbrella has broken through Kyushu Island, which has already excited the domestic crowd, and the applause is endless, if someone openly says good things for the Japanese at this time, they will definitely be found out and punished as traitors. Lao Chaofeng's rebuttal did not surprise Zhuo Fei, it is often this kind of people at the bottom of society who can see the reality clearly, in the words of those old Chaofeng, scholars like Professor Niu have already read books and made themselves stupid.

In order to sort out the things with preservation value from the mountains of loot, from the day the Dangkou army entered Kyushu Island, Zhuo Fei recruited a large number of scholars and pawnshops from Beiping through the Nationalist government. Scholars collate items of cultural value, while pawnshop worshippers need to identify and value all the loot, and the items that are worth preserving are separated separately, which eventually become Zhuo Fei's private collection.

"General, the Japanese envoy is here." Zhuo Fei was chatting happily with those pawnshop courtiers here, and one of Zhuo Yan's guards leaned over and whispered a reminder. The Japanese also sent an envoy to Kyushu Island at this time, the intention of which was self-evident, Zhuo Fei thought about it a little, and left the hot spring pool and returned to his headquarters. Junichiro Ogawa had already been sent to Zhuo Fei's headquarters, and seeing Zhuo Fei's refreshed look, Junichiro Ogawa was surprised that Zhuo Fei was so young, and at the same time, he couldn't wait to pounce on Zhuo Fei and eat Zhuo Fei's sworn enemy alive.

However, this kind of thought of Junichiro Ogawa can only be imagined in his heart, if he really wants to assassinate Zhuo Fei, Junichiro Ogawa does not have the guts, not to mention that Zhuo Fei has always been accompanied by Zhuo Yan and a few personal guards. "General Zhuo, I came this time to be appointed by His Majesty the Emperor and the cabinet of the Great Japanese Empire, and our Great Japanese Empire is willing to form an alliance with the umbrella, once the Germans solve the Soviet Union, our Great Japanese Empire will help General Zhuo to take all the territory south of the Yangtze River." I don't know what kind of psychology it is, but Junichiro Ogawa fully explained the plans of the Japanese cabinet as soon as he came up.

Junichiro Ogawa's straightforwardness caught Zhuo Fei a little off guard, but soon, Zhuo Fei returned to his usual calm look. "Mr. Special Envoy, I am not interested in what you say, our umbrella is just a mercenary company, we are not aggressors, and we will not take the liberty of seizing the territory of other countries, especially China." Zhuo Fei's words were righteous, but Junichiro Ogawa had already scolded in his heart, if you don't take the initiative to seize the territory of other countries, what is going on with the five countries in South Asia? What about Malay and Indonesia?

Zhuo Fei's answer has blocked the possibility of Junichiro Ogawa continuing to lobby, because according to the instructions given by the cabinet before he came, Junichiro Ogawa could not come up with more weighty conditions at the moment. Xu is aware of the uneasiness in Junichiro Ogawa's heart at the moment, Zhuo Fei smiled, "Our umbrella has already received the two batches of gold you gave, and at the same time gave you a week of free time as agreed, but you didn't cherish this hard-won week. ”

"At present, China has declared war on you Japan again, and it is an unstoppable fact that a large number of Chinese troops have set foot on the Japanese mainland, so now, I still have the same suggestion as before. Now that the loss of the homeland is a foregone conclusion, I suggest that you continue to transfer people to the Americas, and do not try to resist to the end. My troops are only driving civilians away from Kyushu Island now, and if you want to resist, maybe my troops will point their guns at the civilians, after all, my soldiers don't have much patience and courtesy. ”

"Moreover, the Chinese army is about to enter the war, and the hatred between you Japan and China will not be clear for a while. I think you'd probably be thinking about what would happen if a Chinese soldier entered the Japanese mainland. After all, your army did too many things in China that people were angry about, and once the Chinese began to retaliate against you Japanese, I think it would definitely not be the scene you wanted to see. ”

Zhuo Fei's words instantly crushed the last insistence in Junichiro Ogawa's heart, he knew that Zhuo Fei was right, once the Chinese army entered the Japanese mainland, the first people who would be harmed might be civilians, especially those civilians whose families had people in their families as soldiers. "Two months, I will give you two months to evacuate the population to the Americas, and if your cabinet and His Majesty the Emperor agree to this proposal of mine, you will be given a two-month buffer. Otherwise, I will continue to intensify my offensive, and perhaps in less than two months, my army will enter the island of Honshu. ”

Zhuo Fei's words made Junichiro Ogawa's heart tremble, and after borrowing the radio from Zhuo Fei, he immediately sent a telegram to Kyoto. The Japanese cabinet members who received the telegram were also dumbfounded, the menacing umbrella actually wanted to use this means to take down the whole of Japan, and some people in the cabinet were already clamoring to fight with the umbrella to the end, but there were also people secretly considering Zhuo Fei's suggestion, after all, not every Japanese is willing to die in obscurity as a consumable.

"2 months? Is this really the advice given by the umbrella? The emperor who heard the news was also a little dumbfounded, and couldn't figure out what the umbrella was trying to do, and it didn't seem that the umbrella could get more benefits from it. After all, Japan and Germany are still allies, and once Germany succeeds in solving the Soviet Union, it can return to the south to attack China, and Japan will still have the opportunity to return to Asia to get everything back.

As the mouthpiece of the cabinet and the emperor, Junichiro Ogawa and his entourage simply stayed in Kumamoto, and had the privilege of witnessing a large number of Chinese troops entering Kyushu Island, but at the same time negotiated a deal with Zhuo Fei. Regardless of what the Japanese cabinet and emperor thought, Zhuo Fei actually agreed to provide the Japanese government with more than 150 large transport ships to help the Japanese cabinet transfer the population and troops to the Hawaiian Islands. Just when the Japanese cabinet was confused, Zhuo Fei suddenly ordered to send troops to start clearing the islands around Kyushu Island, including Tsushima Island between Japan and the Korean Peninsula.
