Yasuken Nakajima went straight back to the tavern to drink, and Tatsutakanosuke silently looked at his somewhat lonely back, and only turned around for a while before turning around and asking a little Hu: "Are you going back to the gendarmerie headquarters, or are you going to my nest to sit down." ”

A little Hu Silent will shake his head, and bow slightly to Takanosuke: "I'm very sorry, where the duty is, I won't harass." ”

After finishing speaking, a little Hu took the lead to leave, and the shipmate followed him, and after walking a distance,

Only then did he wonder, "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Shipmate-kun, whether Tatetakanosuke is a spy has not yet been determined, and the file of Qingcheng Xiaoshan does not provide any evidence, and several clues have been broken, can it be verified, or rather, whether it is him, it is not certain, what this line requires is to make bold assumptions and carefully verify, but to take action, there must be solid evidence, otherwise not only will the wrong person be arrested, but the real spy will slip away."

Tanabe also didn't go with Tachitakanosuke, he asked Takanosuke for the address he was afraid of, and promised to move there after a while, and then left on his own.

Takanosuke did not stay, and after the bombing, Tanabe would definitely not bring his wife and children to Tokyo again, and he himself did not want to return to his hometown, so he could only stay in Tokyo. On the other hand, Tatsunosuke is not married and is alone, and he claims that if they want to fall in love and marry after the war is over, they can save a lot of money by renting a house, which is very important to them now, because it may be difficult for them to find a job for a while.

Looking around, Tatsutakanosuke's gaze fell on the tavern again, he still didn't understand the purpose of Nakajima Yasuken doing this, why did he take the risk to reveal this information to himself? He was tempted to go into the tavern and talk to Yasuken Nakajima, but he quickly dismissed the idea, and now his mission was not to obtain information, but to preserve himself, because even if he could get information, he would not be able to send it out, and if he showed signs that he was going to leave Ben, he would be arrested immediately, and Tsuchihara could completely stop any investigation and execute him in secret, and he even suspected that he could not leave Tokyo at all.

The smoke spread, but the smell of burnt human flesh in the air faded slightly, several fire trucks pulled bells from the road, Tachitakanosuke felt the scorching heat in his face as soon as he walked a block, and several houses in the distance had been engulfed in flames, which were rolling in the sea breeze in this direction.

A group of cha and gendarmes blocked the citizens outside the cordon, two forklifts knocked down several houses close to the fire scene, and the firefighters set up water taps to spray water on the fire site, and a large group of citizens were lining up in several long columns under the command of the cha, spraying water on the fire tongue according to the way it was during the exercise, and some women were carrying buckets and basins, as well as various tools that could hold water, in the direction of the fire tongue, watering the ground and everything that could be ignited.

"Let's go! Let a middle-aged man in a clattering national uniform shout in front, the crowd parted to both sides, and a passage was opened, with a clattering national uniform in front, and a stretcher on the back stretcher lay a swarthy person who couldn't see men and women clearly, and the two nurses trotted while cheering him up: "Hold on!" Hang on! It's almost there! ”

The crowd looked silently at the stretcher that had been carried away, and Tachitakanosuke went up to ask Nano to go over and look at him twice, telling him that he could go from Shitamachi.

Tatsunosuke looked at the tongue of fire quietly, and decided to move, at least to the edge of the city, this is just the beginning, and the next National Air Force will continue to bomb Tokyo until the whole of Tokyo is reduced to ashes.

In fact, although the fire that ignited Tokyo was very large, the actual effect was not as great as Tachitakanosuke had imagined, and the bombs dropped by the national air force were scattered, and some of the bombs fell into rivers and seawaters, and by evening, the losses had been summed up to the Prime Minister's Office, the commander of the Eastern Military District, and the commander of the Tokyo Air Defense, and the Metropolitan Police Department went to the Prime Minister's Office to report to the Prime Minister's Office.

"The Tokyo Iron and Steel Works suffered some damage, mainly in the rolling mill, which was almost completely burned down, and the steelmaking blast furnace was well preserved, which is a great blessing in disguise, and the steel mill is trying to resume production as soon as possible.

The losses at the shipyard were slightly greater, two workshops were burned down, the administrative building was burned down, and in the urban area, more than 160 houses were burned down, and the personnel were ,......"

Kantaro Suzuki was silent after hearing this, Nishio Shouzo raised his eyebrows slightly, because it was a daytime sky attack, there were not many casualties, most of them were wounded, but Tokyo was bombed, and the impact on the people was very large, and the official has always claimed that Tokyo has enough protection forces, but the national air force bombed Tokyo in broad daylight.

"The China Air Force must be resolved, what can the Ministry of War do not have?" Kantaro Suzuki asked Shouzo Nishio and Mijiro Umezu: "I'm going to enter the palace later, Your Majesty will definitely ask, how to prevent the bombing of the Shina Air Force?" ”

Nishio Shouzo ignored Suzuki's gaze, he looked at Umezu Mijiro and Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yonechi speechlessly, since Kyushu was bombed, the army and navy have been studying countermeasures, but no one can do anything, B29 drops bombs at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the most advanced fighter can only fly 8,000 meters, and it can't threaten B29 at all, and the best anti-aircraft gun is an 88mm anti-aircraft gun imported from Germany, and it can only barely hit about 10,000 meters.

Mitsumasa Yonechi felt the gaze of Umezu Mijiro and Nishio Shouzo, and he slowly spoke: "The Combined Fleet is now carrying out Operation No. 1, and the Combined Fleet has invested all its strength, and only after the Combined Fleet returns from Mariana can it attack Shandong." Now I propose to intensify research on anti-aircraft guns, mass-produce 88mm anti-aircraft guns, and study new types of anti-aircraft guns that can be fired at altitudes above 10,000 meters. ”

It was learned from intelligence that most of the air bases in China were built in Jiaodong, and the navy put forward a plan to use the main aircraft carriers of the combined fleet to attack Jiaodong and completely destroy the air base in China.

But all this will not be possible until the Combined Fleet returns from the Marianas, or after the Combined Fleet defeats the US Pacific Fleet.

Since its establishment, the Combined Fleet has won victories in the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and has been regarded by the people of Japan as the protector of the United Fleet, and almost no one thinks that the Combined Fleet will be defeated, but the top brass knows that the Combined Fleet is not invincible, and it suffered great losses in the Battle of Midway.

The United States stabilized the Pacific War with the Battle of Midway, and after this battle, the Combined Fleet was no longer able to continue the offensive, and the United States was given two years to prepare for war. With the strong industrial strength of the United States, two years is enough time to recover the losses suffered at Pearl Harbor, and this joint fleet attack on the Mariana will face the regained strength of the United States Pacific Fleet.

"What else is there?" Kantaro Suzuki continued, and it was clear that it would take some time to implement these measures, and during that time, the Shina Air Force had enough strength to wreak havoc on Ben.

"The base camp believes that we can take a more active approach, increase the separation zone between the blocks, increase the blocking balloons, and evacuate some unnecessary citizens out of the city, and the propaganda department should cooperate, suggesting that the citizens go to the countryside or small cities, so as to enhance agricultural productivity and reduce the burden on the city." Umezu Mijiro replied.

Suzuki Kantaro was speechless after hearing this, his prime minister is the weakest prime minister in history, and he himself does not want to be strong, if he changes the prime minister, he will definitely take advantage of the opportunity of the army's repeated failures, vigorously weaken the army's influence, and change the situation that the government's decision-making is seriously controlled by the military, but he did not, so the military, especially the army, also reciprocated and supported most of his decisions, such as conducting peace trials in Switzerland, partially revising the outline of the general decisive battle, and also supporting Suzuki's decision-making in the economic adjustment plan.

However, Suzuki was still a little dissatisfied with the answers of Umezu Mijiro and Yonechi Mitsumasa today, and he was going to enter the palace to meet the emperor later, and His Majesty was bound to ask about the bombing of Tokyo, but it would not be satisfactory to His Majesty by relying on these points.

Seeing that no one continued to speak, Suzuki had no choice but to ask himself, "Evacuate the citizens, this idea is good, but how many citizens should be evacuated?" There are 6 million citizens in Tokyo, 3 million citizens in the city, and there are many other cities besides Tokyo, so how many people will be evacuated from the city?

Can the countryside accommodate so many people? Will factory production be affected? These issues must be planned in detail. ”

"Yes, please rest assured that the base camp will draw up a detailed plan and submit it to the cabinet for approval." Umezu Mijiro bowed slightly apologetically.

"The press department must be well controlled," Suzuki reminded, "We must explain to the people that the evacuation of the citizens is not because the enemy cannot bomb them, but because they are to increase agricultural production, and in addition, we must publish more tragic scenes caused by the bombing to arouse the anger of the people against the enemy and increase the confidence of the people." ”

Suzuki's words made Umezu Mijiro and Nishio Toshizo nod frequently, especially regarding news reporting, the successive failures in recent years have put the army under tremendous pressure, although the news control has been implemented, but with the bombing of Tokyo, it has become very difficult to continue to implement it, Suzuki's method is not a good way.

Nishio Shouzo and the others said goodbye together, and Suzuki looked at their backs for a few minutes before sighing heavily. The chief of the inner record, forced the water to look at him sympathetically, the current prime minister is not an enviable position, with the failure of the Battle of North China, the North China Dispatch Army was almost completely wiped out, defeat is almost inevitable, the high-level has openly talked about the possibility of peace talks, and the pressure on Suzuki is unprecedentedly strong.

"This is a tough old fellow." Suzuki admires Suzuki more in his heart, and if he changes to someone with a slightly worse psychological endurance, I'm afraid he has already offered to resign.

"Let's go to the palace." Suzuki said to Sukisui, who said yes and turned to prepare the car.

The sedan drove out of the Prime Minister's official residence in the sunset and headed towards the Imperial Palace, black smoke still wafting over the city, the fire had been extinguished, the smell of burnt human flesh in the air was blown away by the sea breeze, and the driver did not choose the usual route, but followed Suzuki's orders from another road to the Imperial Palace, which had to pass through the neighborhood that had just been bombed.!
