"Commander, will the bombardment of Tokyo make the Japanese more resolute in their will to resist?"

Lu Hai glanced at the first mate of the "Taishan" beside him, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Lieutenant Colonel Lao Wenchi, I think you are soft-hearted!" What, feel sorry for those Japanese civilians? ”

Lao Wenchi bowed his head and was silent, and a steady Lu Hai suddenly pointed at Lao Wenchi and said loudly: "They can't be called human beings at all, don't see them as the same kind, they are just a group of moths attached to the strong man, once they grow, they will turn their faces and deny people, haven't you heard the story of the fisherman and the snake?" When you taste meat, do you feel sorry for the dead pigs and cows? No, quite the opposite, you have a great aftertaste after swallowing the food! Listen, I want you to enjoy this moment, for me, for the President, this moment is long-awaited, if you want to keep up with the footsteps of the President, your thoughts must be consistent with ours, and there is no discount at all! ”

Looking at the almost insane commander, Lao Wenchi was a little frightened, at this moment, Lu Hai did not look like a calm and steady fleet commander and naval commander, but a crazy nationalist, a demon who kills people without blinking!

"Fire!"

The order was finally given, and for the lower-ranking officers and soldiers, they would not think so much and did not have much thought to spend on the poor Japanese civilians. All they have to think about is to follow orders, then mechanically reload their ammunition and use their trained bodies to react as quickly as they can and with the most skill.

"Boom!" There was no need for a test firing, and the first round of shells hit the target without any suspense, which was a vast building - the Japanese Prime Minister's Office, the core of the Japanese regime. Then, the Emperor's Imperial Palace, telegraph office, warehouses, barracks and other key places were subjected to concentrated shelling.

Countless buildings collapsed in the explosion, and civilians, soldiers, and government officials who did not have time to escape were killed in an instant, and fires rose everywhere at the same time, driven by the wind. The fire spread in all directions and soon spread to civilian areas. Dry wooden beams and bamboo houses were the best ignitants, and with the constant incendiary bombs projected into the city of Tokyo, the fire began to become more and more violent.

Fire is both the key to human progress and feared by humans. In natural and man-made disasters, fire can be at the forefront. The scorching of fire, the lack of oxygen, the burns caused by temperature, can kill the most powerful. The incendiary bomb comes with thermite to maximize the intensity and burning range of the fire, and each point can bring a new fire.

Viewed from above, a little flame spreads around, and soon develops into a circular fire surface, and then the fire surfaces in various places gradually converge to form a larger area of fire.

The shelling of the "Tarzan" lasted an hour. The barrel of the main gun was put to the test, and it was estimated that it would have to be replaced after the shelling. The turret was so hot that the sailors did not have time to take off their uniforms, and the sweat soaked the backs of their clothes, and even in this cold winter season, the sweat beads on the sailors' bodies could not be dispersed.

Most of Tokyo was in flames, and the deck of the battleship, which was not bombarded, was full of sailors watching, and it seemed that everyone could feel the heat of the fire. The seaplane, which carried out the observation mission, had to raise the altitude of the aircraft so as not to be injured by fire and heat.

Within the city. A group of more than 300 people was surrounded by fire, and the streets were blocked by collapsed buildings. On both sides are raging fires. Under the scorching heat, people kept falling to the ground, including old and young women and children, and sturdy men tried to protect their families, but they were powerless in the face of the fire, and could only watch their families fall one by one. There are also many people who have been splashed by the sparks of the fire. Others tried to help put out the fire, but they set himself on fire, and soon became a fire man, struggling to die in grief.

Humanity, humanity, there is no such thing as humanity in this world. Humane. It was all obtained through the fight of tens of millions of people. The Great Powers wiped out the entire Native Americans, tens of millions of innocent people died, how many Africans and how many Asians were slaughtered by the Great Powers. The Age of Discovery, revered by later generations, ushered in a new ladder of civilization, which was bought in exchange for the deaths of hundreds of millions of human beings. After that, the Great Powers began to promote humanity, interfering in other countries in this way and plundering benefits for themselves with so-called universal values.

No! If you want to have humanity, you must go through such a stage, and this is true in the West, and China is no exception. The progress of civilization is nothing more than the death of the same kind and the impetus of war and violence, which is a law that no one can avoid.

The seaplane landed with a complete shelling assessment, and after being put away, the fleet began to turn around and return home, and the mission was accomplished, not perfectly, but finally achieved.

The fires in Tokyo lasted for two days, and the huge city seemed to have countless fuels waiting to burn, until the tragedy was put to an end when heavy snow fell the next evening.

According to data released by Huaguo 50 years later, about three-quarters of Tokyo's urban area was burned down during the bombardment, and most of the core buildings, including the Prime Minister's Office and the Imperial Palace, were completely burned down. The death toll is around 1.5 million, and the rough economic damage is more than 200 million pounds.

In fact, a month after the fire, the Japanese government released data on the damage caused by the Tokyo fire, which is very different from the data released by China 50 years later. With more than three million deaths, that's the biggest difference. Of course, this point did not have any impact on China, but it was only Japan's own painful statement, just as the Chinese expressed their sorrow over the Nanjing Massacre in the world, and it did not receive anyone's attention.

Eighty kilometers away, Meiji and others from the temporary residence of Emperor Fuji on Mt. Fuji were sheltered, and at the foot of the mountain were countless refugees who had escaped from Tokyo, and Emperor Meiji screamed, vomited blood, and fainted as they watched the smoke billowing into the distant sky. Two days later, when the Great Fire in Tokyo was gradually extinguished, the soul of Emperor Meiji returned to the underworld.

The bombardment of Tokyo was unanimously condemned by all countries in the world, especially after some photos from the Tokyo fire circulated in major newspapers around the world, China became a demon country recognized by the great powers, and Chinese President Lu Liang was called the reincarnation of the demon Lucifer, which had the miraculous effect of stopping the crying of young children among Western civilians.

Even major Western countries, such as Britain, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Spain, have announced the severance of diplomatic exchanges with China, and in their view, Japan is a model of Western civilization in the East, and although it is not of the same species, it has also been accepted as a member of Western civilization. The bombardment of Tokyo by Huaguo means hostility to Western civilization, and Huaguo has become a representative of the devil within the West.

Interestingly, the German Emperor Wilhelm II, who had been trumpeting the "**** theory", ignored this, and the letters from the British royal family were shelved by him, in which Queen Victoria proposed to her grandson that Western countries unite to form a huge coalition against the evil infidels and the Oriental Chinese kingdom, intending to re-form a new crusade, but Wilhelm II ignored it. The same is true of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, although Ramsdorff was wronged in San Francisco, but now Russia still has a great demand for China, and it is not the time to turn around.

The refusal of Germany and Russia prevented the formation of the New Crusader Army, but in San Francisco, the British, French, American, and Russian representatives began to face each other coldly towards China. It is strange that, judging from the overall situation, Japan has already gained the sympathy of the majority of the people and should have taken the initiative in the negotiations, but I did not expect that the truth is exactly the opposite.

"Foreign Minister Zhang Taiyan, on behalf of the Japanese Government, I agree with your country's proposal to end the war. As for your demand for our unconditional surrender, this cannot be accepted by us, but you can put forward the terms of the armistice, and we can negotiate on the basis of that. Kato Takaaki's words were amazing, this was obviously a soft rhythm, how could it not surprise Rolmo and others. Japan has already won the sympathy of the whole world, and it is deserving of favorable terms in the negotiations.

As Orientals, the Chinese people know more about the habits of the Japanese, and although they declare to be a member of Western civilization, they cannot change the side that belongs to the Orientals in their bones. The Japanese are the best at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, because of their own weakness, they are accustomed to clinging to the strong, and absorb nutrients from the strong, when they are strong enough, they will push away the master, turn their faces and deny people. And when the strong man beats him down, he will grovel and bow down to the knees of the strong man again, and even behave extremely meekly.

The bombardment of Tokyo was the key node, which made the Japanese realize that Huaguo was not the weak Qing State of the past, nor was it an existence that small Japan could compete with, and even grew into a strong man recognized by Japan. Of course, from the current point of view, Britain is still the thickest thigh, and it still has to be clenched, but this does not prevent Japan from temporarily bowing its head to China and admitting its mistakes. In the minds of the Japanese, there is nothing to be sad about, it's okay, and soon Japan will get back on its feet and challenge China again. Forbearance, this is what the Japanese are best at.
