At the Imperial Palace of the Emperor Edo in Tokyo, a middle-aged man in military uniform sits on the throne, with short hair and a mustache, and his eyes are bright and unangry.

Emperor Meiji defeated the shogunate power, returned power to the imperial family, reformed the system, and revitalized the country, which was many times stronger than those imperial families in China. Sometimes Lu Liang often lamented how a small island country could have so many strategic strongmen, from top to bottom, from the emperor to Yama Prefecture Aritomo, Ito Hirobumi, and Saionji Kobo, it was these people who led Japan to become a world power. Of course, it was these people who caused endless suffering to Huaxia!

Next, Yama Prefecture Aritomo and Ito Hirobumi, Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang three people bent down to salute, and then the emperor gave the throne. The outside world worships the emperor as a superhuman god, because in 1878, Aritomo Yamagu, who served as the secretary of the army, issued the "Military Discipline", requiring soldiers to worship the emperor with gods and take bushido as the spiritual pillar of soldiers.

However, the relationship between these three elders and the emperor was that of friends, and from the beginning of the Curtain Movement, these people were the greatest help to the Meiji Emperor, and even now that Japan is facing such a big predicament, these people did not show much panic.

"Your Majesty, the empire is facing great suffering, Hua and Russia are jointly attacking the empire, the 500,000 troops in the northeast can protect themselves, the garrisons of Korea and Taiwan cannot be recalled, the offensive of the Kyushu garrison is blocked, and the attack cannot be resisted, General Ao Baogong hopes to expand the number of army mobilizations again, and fight to the death with Hua, and even do not hesitate to mobilize tens of millions of people to repay the emperor's favor! We are incompetent and have failed to live up to Your Majesty's trust, please punish Your Majesty! "Saionji Gong looked at Meiji and pleaded guilty. Rather than shirking responsibility, these people's strong sense of national responsibility led them to put their personal interests behind for the time being, especially in the face of Emperor Meiji, and they could not say any false or empty words.

Aritomo Yamaguchi and Hirobumi Ito pleaded guilty to the emperor at the same time, and Meiji smiled and waved his hand. Then he stood up and walked to the large map of the Far East behind him, pointed to Japan and said: "Why should you be so pessimistic, Japan is a small island country, with poor resources and poor people, and it is our honor to let the two great powers unite and confront each other!" ”

Emperor Meiji's optimism made the three of them for a while, and all along, they were facing the emperor. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you will be impressed by His Majesty the Emperor and full of fighting spirit. The fact that the Japanese Empire has His Majesty the Emperor is truly a blessing to all the people and a blessing to Japan!

"You are all outstanding people of the empire, how can you give up your fighting spirit because of the current difficulties! In my opinion, if it had not been for the intervention of China, Russia would have now admitted defeat and now launched an offensive in the northeast. It's just the end of the crossbow, even with the help of Huaguo. It is also impossible to defeat our army, which lacks supplies. In the defensive battle of Kyushu on the mainland, Huaguo currently has a little more than 100,000 troops in Kyushu, and judging from the information transmitted from all over China, they are not ready to send more troops to Japan, so with only these more than 100,000 troops is like conquering all of Japan? Think about the overall situation. Then, according to this situation, analyze what war goals China wants to achieve. ”

Yama Prefecture Youpeng's eyes lit up, yes, His Majesty the Emperor said well, the previous few people were blinded by the powerful offensive of Huaguo and the unfavorable news from Major General Takasaki, but they did not carefully analyze what Huaguo wanted.

"Your Majesty is wise. In my opinion, China is the key to the outcome of this war, and Russia has nothing to worry about at the moment. The situation facing our country is indeed very difficult, and for various reasons the powers that supported us before, such as Britain and France, have not been able to provide more help, and Germany and the United States have stayed out of the situation and can only respond to the challenge according to our own strength. One year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the foundation is weak, even if it has advanced weapons and super battleships, but the number is too small, it is impossible to occupy all of our country. Therefore, "Yama Prefecture Aritomo said that there was something to say about it, and Meiji understood what he wanted to say, but this kind of thing could not be said by the emperor."

Saionji Gongwang decisively took over the conversation, he is now the prime minister of Japan, and he should bear the greatest responsibility: "Therefore, we need to test the purpose of Huaguo, and we can seek a way to end the war through a third country." ”

Everyone was silent after saying this at Saionji Temple, and it was true that the only way to end the war, reduce the losses suffered by Japan, and accumulate strength and wait for a re-emergence, was to take the initiative to admit defeat.

Japan is not yet an era of extreme militarism, and Emperor Meiji and the upper echelons are still rational and thoughtful, and only such leaders can lead the country to rise from adversity.

"The rise of the empire is not destined to be smooth sailing, China will replace Russia as our biggest enemy in the future, there is no shame in retreating now, and it is even more exciting to catch up after defeat." Emperor Meiji stood up and walked in front of several people, and said these words heavily, his psychology was not disappointed, decades of struggle, but was defeated by Huaguo, and the achievements since the Restoration were ruined, but this does not mean that the Restoration is wrong, and it must go on firmly!

Several people discussed a rough plan, but the fighting on the front line could not be stopped, and the battle in Kyushu had to show Japan's courage to resist to the end, so as to strive for the greatest benefits at the negotiating table.

"One hundred and twenty meters in front of the left, machine gun fire point!"

"Car No. 3 received, high-explosive bombs ready!"

"High-explosive shells ready!"

"Launch!"

With a brief command, a Japanese machine-gun fire point flew into the sky, and high-explosive shells flew out of the chamber of the tank and hit the target accurately. From the command vehicle to the tank commander, loader, and gunner, after a short period of tension, the tank crews of the armored battalion became more and more proficient, and the coaxial machine guns in charge of the driver and the communicator were constantly strafing, and they destroyed several times more enemies than the tank guns, and even the tank tracks could perform the duty of killing people -- the dense Japanese army allowed the tanks to exert their maximum effectiveness.

The first-generation tanks used by the armored brigade were not German tanks such as the Leopard and the Tiger, but Lu Liang, the German weapons controller, chose the T34, a tank developed by Lao Maozi. Despite all its flaws, there is no doubt that the T34 was the best medium tank of World War II, especially after the adoption of the 85mm gun.

The advantage of this tank is that it can be equipped on a large scale, which is most suitable for large-scale wars, and the rough craftsmanship and simple structure allowed the Soviet Union at that time to equip this tank with the fastest speed, and the Tiger tank was finally submerged under the sea of T34 tanks. Of course, for this time, the tank has not yet come out, even if Lu Liang uses the Japanese small bean Ding tank on land, there is no opponent, the so-called medium tank is a behemoth for other armies, and the heavy tank can not be heavier!

There is another reason that prompts Luliang to equip this tank, that is, now the armored forces are in small demand, and the military factories and logistics departments can meet the needs of the front. After the large-scale expansion of the armored forces, this kind of tank can be directly adopted without upgrading, and the production technology is mature, and the tank drivers can be more proficient in operating this weapon.

The tank named T01 was invincible on the battlefield, and He Guangsha, who was calm and steady, couldn't even suppress his excitement, and gave orders in the loudest voice, so that the ears of the commanders of each vehicle group were tormented.

The Japanese army has no way to stop this steel monster, this is not the World War II period, all kinds of anti-aircraft artillery flat fire, anti-tank guns, anti-tank mines, anti-tank rockets, tank destroyers, dive bombers, etc., not only the Japanese army, but even the armies of other countries will collapse in the face of tanks.

The first armored battalion marched very fast, the only resistance was easily destroyed, there was plenty of fuel and ammunition, He Guangsha had long forgotten the coordination with other troops, and only knew a strong order to charge quickly. The armored brigade and the Marine Division behind it had already opened a distance of more than 2,000 meters, and the soldiers of the Marine Division were cleaning up the wreckage after the armored brigade while looking at the vehicles with envy and hatred.

Bai Zhai gently pushed the joystick, and the fighter swooped towards the front of the battlefield, he wanted to show the might of the air force in front of his army brothers, and as the altitude decreased, an unforgettable picture came into Bai Zhai's mind.

Countless Japanese soldiers were driven by the steel monsters behind them to flee in all directions, with various wreckage, craters and bunkers behind them, and from the air you could see the beetle-like steel monsters moving quickly, easily crossing the ravines, and then spewing tongues of fire from the long noses, reaping the lives of the fugitives.

"What's that?" Bai Zhai was also surprised, judging from the signs and battle situation, it was definitely his own army, but why had he never heard of this army and this kind of weapon? It can't be blamed that Bai Zhai is lonely and unheard, the General Staff had a very high degree of secrecy about the armored forces before, similar to the Air Force, and since the beginning of the war, it has only been a few days since the armored brigade landed on Kagoshima, and Bai Zhai has been busy scouting the Japanese army branch in the past few days, and has not paid attention to the uproar caused by the armored forces in the army.
