“…… Today, the North China Theater organized a grand ceremony to enter the city and officially entered Beiping, and millions of citizens in Beiping poured out of the city to welcome Yang Yongtai, chairman of the Nationalist Government, and announced the appointment of General Xiongbin as mayor of Beiping, and General Tang Enbo as commander of the Beiping garrison. \\。 qΒ⑤、ｃｏｍ”

"President Roosevelt sent a congratulatory telegram today to congratulate our country on the liberation of Beiping and Tianjin......, and on its great victory in annihilating 420,000 Japanese troops.

"According to the Central News Agency, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland sent a congratulatory telegram to congratulate the Chinese people on their recovery of Tianjin in Beiping and their great victory in the war against Japan.

The following is a special commentary by the Nationalist Government commenting on the State of the Union address of the new Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki. During the Seven Years' War, the Japanese frequently changed prime ministers, from Fumiro Konoe to Kantaro Suzuki, five or six prime ministers were replaced, with an average of one and a half years of time each prime minister in office. Every prime minister has announced at the beginning of his term that he will try to solve the China incident, but what is the result? They only suffered numerous shocks, and the war situation became more and more unfortunate for them, the Battle of Northern Hubei failed, Hideki Tojo became the scapegoat, the Battle of North China failed, Kuniaki Koiso became the scapegoat, and Kantaro Suzuki could not escape the scapegoat...... The phone was turned off, and Kantaro Suzuki shook his head slightly, not knowing if he was in his situation or for the comments on the radio.

He doesn't want to be the prime minister, at this moment, Japan is now like a leaky ship, which may sink at any time, and the shadow of defeat has become thicker and thicker, and Japan's high-level elites have understood that defeat is inevitable, so no one will come out to take on the role of prime minister, and in the end they can only push him, an old man in his seventies, out.

After a busy month, he finally formed a cabinet, the crucial foreign secretary, and he chose Togo Shigetoku, the guy in the Tojo cabinet who was responsible for the foreign minister; To his surprise, Togo's condition was to immediately do his best to secure an armistice.

The most important Minister of War, he chose the commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Nishio Shouzo, who had served as the director of education, who had fought for the empire in China for six years, had experience on the front lines, and had a significant say on the front lines.

As for the commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, the military department proposed that Tada Jun or Itagaki Seishiro be appointed as the commander-in-chief, and in the end he chose Itagaki Seishiro, Itagaki Seishiro has been fighting in China for a long time and is very familiar with the Chinese battlefield, so it is logical for him to be the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army.

The chief of the adviser was taken over by the former commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro, and the guy Sugiyama Moto, the military department decided to transfer him to the reserves.

The Minister of the Navy was entrusted with Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, who had always advocated peace, and through Mitsumasa Yonechi, Toshizo Nishio, and Yoshijiro Umezu, Kantaro Suzuki believed that he could control the army and navy, which would be of great use at a critical moment.

However, to Suzuki's disappointment, at the first cabinet meeting, the cabinet members had a huge disagreement between the war and the peace, and Togo proposed to immediately start peace talks with the allies in Switzerland, but this proposal was unanimously agreed by the cabinet members and the base camp, but on the specific conditions, the two sides had a huge disagreement.

Togo thought that it was possible to negotiate on the terms of the allies, and if it was really impossible, he would end the war even if he accepted the conditions of the allies. This proposal was unanimously rejected by the army and navy, and Mitsumasa Yonechi and Yoshijiro Umezu believed that unconditional surrender would have a huge impact on national confidence, and that Japan must put forward its own conditions.

The meeting was arguing for three hours, perhaps emotionally unacceptable, and other cabinet ministers such as Nishio Shouzo did not agree, and finally Kantaro Suzuki also agreed with Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, first proposing Japan's conditions to see how the allies reacted.

Although the conditions were worked out, Kantaro Suzuki really didn't control the outcome, and at the ensuing joint meeting of the base camp and the cabinet, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Army and Navy quarreled again.

The army decided to abandon Jiangnan, and the whole army retreated to Manchuria, asking the navy to provide transportation forces. This need was firmly rejected by the Navy, and Mitsumasa told the cabinet that the U.S. forces were preparing to attack the Mariana Islands, and that the Combined Fleet would devote all its strength to meet the U.S. forces, and that it would not be able to provide any strength at all. Mitsumasa Yonechi immediately asked rhetorically, even if the Jiangnan army was withdrawn to Manchuria, could it hold Manchuria?

This question makes Nishio Shouzo and Umezu Mijiro difficult to answer, the essence of the Chinese dispatch army is almost exhausted, the Jiangnan army is some second- and third-rate divisions, the total military strength is only 300,000, the North China battle, the squadron cleanly annihilated more than 400,000 imperial troops, the remnants of the Kwantung Army and the Jiangnan army are only 600,000 together, once Jiangnan withdraws, the Jiangnan China Army million can also be transferred to the northeast, and the China Chalks can also gather troops far beyond the Japanese army.

Nishio Shouzo and Umezu Mijiro were silent, and Togo actually hinted at a veto, and Togo believed that if Jiangnan was abandoned, he would lose his bargaining ground for the Chongqing government, and that Jiangnan should be exchanged for a truce from the Chongqing government. In addition, Togo also believes that at present, the Sino-Soviet conflict in the Xinjiang region is fierce, and China is not to be outdone to attack the two countries, and the relations between the two countries are bound to break down, and if it is serious, it is very likely that there will be war, and then the Jiangnan region will become an important weight for Japan.

But if the troops were not withdrawn from Jiangnan, with the military strength of the Kwantung Army alone, even Umezu Mijiro would not have the confidence to hold Manchuria. The only way left was to send more troops to Manchuria, at least 400,000 more troops to Manchuria, bringing the total strength of the Kwantung Army to 700,000, and at least 1,000 additional aircraft, 1,000 tanks, and armored vehicles to Manchuria.

In the past year, the US Navy has intensified its attacks on sea transportation lines, and last year alone, the Navy lost 12 million tons of ships. With Japan's shipbuilding capacity, it would take two years to make up for these losses, which would have to exclude the volume of traffic caused by the loss of ships.

In addition to Manchuria, Japan must also organize and train a new army, and at present, Japan has only 400,000 troops in the country, and this military strength is absolutely not enough to defend the four Japanese islands.

Now, the shortcomings of all the reinforcements on the Chinese battlefield of the lost arm have been revealed, and the Japanese mainland army is empty and the materials are extremely scarce.

To defend Japan, it takes at least 1 million troops, which requires 600,000 troops, and now there are only 300,000 recruits in the new military camps in various parts of Japan who are being trained, and what makes Quartermaster Sajiro Toyoda a headache is that he does not know where to find weapons to equip these recruits, and most of the recruits are still training with wooden guns.

The joint meeting of the Cabinet and the base camp lasted for three days, and the General Adviser proposed an outline for a general decisive battle, calling for the formation and training of two million land forces, bringing the number of local defense troops to 2.6 million, and the need to assemble more than 8,000 fighters and bombers; In addition to these two points, the General Adviser Department also proposed the formation and training of 300,000 special operations troops, 5 million soldiers in the townships, and 30 million militiamen, which were composed of men between the ages of 13 and 65 and women between the ages of 16 and 55.

Not only Suzuki Kantaro was shocked by this plan, but even the Minister of the Navy, Mitsumasa Yonechi, and the cabinet members were shocked by the madness of the army.

"Tuk-tuk." There was a knock at the door, and Kantaro Suzuki habitually called in, and the secretary brought in Foreign Minister Togo, who came in angrily, and sat down on the chair opposite Kantaro Suzuki without waiting for Suzuki Kantaro to be polite.

"What's wrong? Togo-kun. Kantaro Suzuki was a little surprised, and he didn't know where Togo's anger came from.

"Your Excellency, we said we would do our best to seek peace, but why didn't you stop the madness of the Army?"

Suzuki Kantaro realized that Togo's anger was directed at him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and motioned to the secretary to pour tea for Togo, and then said: "The cabinet can only implement the unified opinion, Togo-kun, don't be too anxious, we still have time." ”

"Your Excellency, what are you waiting for? Do you think the Navy will be able to win the Battle of the Marianas? Dongxiang asked rhetorically: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if the navy wins the Battle of Mariana, what if the army loses in Manchuria?" Isn't it still the same? ”

Kantaro Suzuki was silent, Togo stood up and walked to the window, pushed open the window, and pointed outside: "Now that peace is sued, Tokyo can still be preserved intact, Your Excellency knows very well that the Chalks of China are rushing to build an airport in Hebei, Shandong, and in another three months or half a year, a large number of bombers will fly to Tokyo, and the city will be destroyed!" Your Excellency, take a good look, there will be half a year at most, and all these cities will be destroyed! ”@
