Section 2: Wandering Tokyo IV
"Since that's the case...... Suzuki Kantaro slowly considered his words, but at this moment, Umezu Mijiro stood up and strode to the middle of the room, Suzuki looked at him a little stunned. Full // This \ Small // Say \ Net # Baidu Search () Read the latest hand-hit chapters of this book #
"Gentlemen, what's wrong?" Umezu Mijiro had a sneer on his face, and he looked at Togo mockingly: "I'm all timid!" I'm scared! If the China Army wants to reach Japan, it must also occupy Korea, and the Kwantung Army is fully capable of blocking the China Army in Korea by shrinking its defenses, and as for the US Pacific Fleet, the Combined Fleet will only need three months to recover. β
"The empire is very difficult, but it doesn't mean that we have to give up now!" Umezu Mijiro glared at Togo and shouted: "In 1918, Germany gave up, and as a result, Germany fell into serious difficulties after the war, and the country was uneasy. Does the Yamato nation have a future? β
Umezu Mijiro's jΔ« movement also infected Nishio Shouzo, who had always been calm, and Nishio Shouzo also said to Suzuki Kantaro: "The army cannot accept unconditional surrender, the blood of millions of soldiers cannot be shed in vain, and the soldiers who are fighting on the front line will never agree." β
The two giants of the army made a statement, Kantaro Suzuki sighed in his heart, and Togo was about to refute, but Suzuki quickly interjected to prevent him from speaking.
"Of course, the empire is not at the end of its rope yet, and we are not yet ready to accept unconditional surrender," Suzuki said, giving Togo a look: "We can accept peace under certain conditions, but we will never accept unconditional surrender." β
As an experienced diplomat, he knew that the time was not yet right, and he had to wait, wait for Japan to pay a greater price, and wait for everyone to come to his senses, including Emperor Hirohito.
in the following meetings. Kantaro Suzuki listened to Umezu Mijiro's strategy for the Manchurian war, and Umezu Mijiro's strategy was actually to abandon Manchuria. Nearly two million Chinese and Soviet troops approached Manchuria from the northwest, and it was the 300,000 Kwantung Army that defended Manchuria.
The abandonment of Manchuria was not simply the abandonment of Manchuria, and Umezu Yoshijiro decided to form a mobile combat unit, consisting of five of the best divisions of the Kwantung Army and two separate tank brigades, under the direct command of the commander of the Kwantung Army, Naosaburo Okabe, and was deployed near Shenyang. The other four divisions were on the front line of Shanhaiguan, responsible for blocking the eastward advance of the Chinese army, delaying the offensive footsteps of the Chinese army, and winning fighters for the Shenyang division.
Suzuki did not make any comments on this deployment, he himself was a naval admiral, there were contradictions between the army and navy, and the army was extremely averse to the cabinet's meddling in the command of the army.
The last topic of the meeting was Ishiguro's request to increase the supply of grain, and the summer grain harvest had just been reduced, which alleviated the food shortage in the country. However, grain reserves have dropped by 30 percent compared with previous years, which means that by the end of the year, there will be a shortage of grain, and if there is no new grain import, the national grain quota must be lowered from six taels to five taels per day. Even more dangerous. Next year; With the massive enlistment of rural laborers and the bombing of the Chinese and American air forces, food production may continue to decrease, and then famine will come. "In the history of China, there is a saying that the army should be stationed in the country, and the army stationed in the country should also be stationed in the field, at least to help the farmers farm." Ishiguro came up with his idea.
But in Japanese tradition, it was an insult to let the samurai go to farm, but now, if you can't bring grain from Manchuria or the South Seas. There was bound to be a famine in the country, and now the only way was to let the army get the hoes.
Faced with Ishiguro's suggestion, Nishio Shouzo and Umezu Mijiro discussed it and decided to adopt part of it and let some of the veterans go farming. But they also demanded a production campaign in the country to mobilize everyone and make use of all the vacant land. Plant food.
After the meeting, Togo did not leave immediately. He remained in Suzuki's office when everyone else left. Togo immediately expressed his displeasure with Suzuki.
"According to Toyoda-kun's judgment, the imperial production will soon be in a desperate situation, and without guns and ammunition, how can the troops fight? Prime Minister, you should report to Your Majesty that Japan cannot fight any more. "Togo was very dissatisfied with Suzuki's weakness.
But Suzuki was still so calm, he just sighed lightly: "I talked to Kido, Your Majesty's attitude is not clear, and there are many opposition among the important ministers, Togo-kun, the time is not ripe, just wait, it won't be too long." β
In the end, Suzuki's tone became very depressed and sad, and the shadow of the defeated yΔ«n was extremely thick, but they were helpless and could only wait quietly for the dark curtain to fall.
Hearing that the emperor was not in favor of accepting unconditional surrender, Togo stood there in a daze for a long time before he asked unwillingly, "Does Your Majesty understand the current situation?" β
Suzuki glanced at Togo, and said in his heart that he would still hide or deceive His Majesty? But he didn't care, and still said to Dongxiang gently: "Dongxiang, keep working hard, it must be you who will find a way out for Japan in the end, and I have no doubt about this." Togo-kun, Dulles is still interested in our proposal, but ......, alas, it's still not the right time, and he will still contact us. β
Togo shook his head and sighed and left, Suzuki stood in front of the window and silently watched his car leave, and then called his clerk in and told him to immediately organize an investigation team to comprehensively assess Japan's war capability from various aspects such as industrial production capacity, agricultural output, and finance.
In the next few days, Tokyo was nervously waiting for news from Manchuria, but Manchuria was always very calm, and the squadron moved frequently outside Shanhaiguan, but did not launch an attack.
Okabe Naosaburo remained calm and did not change his deployment, but only accelerated the pace of retreat in the Jilin area of Heilongjiang, six divisions of the Kwantung Army had already retreated to the Sino-Korean border, and two other divisions had retreated to North Korea, and the attack corps concentrated near Shenyang had strengthened its combat readiness and was ready to attack at any time.
Harbin, Manchuria's Shanghai Tang, is full of Russian-style buildings, and the summer sun brings this ice city to life. The women changed into beautiful dresses and cheongsams, adding a touch of sparkle to the city. In recent weeks, the Japanese have disappeared from the city, and the gendarmes and patrols that once filled the streets have been replaced by black-clad police officers and national soldiers in Japanese military uniforms.
With the disappearance of the Japanese, all kinds of news circulated on the streets, some said that the squadron had rushed into Shanhaiguan, some said that the squadron had surrounded 100,000 Japanese troops in Jinzhou, and some said that the squadron was attacking Shenyang. It is said that the squadron landed at Yingkou, etc., etc.
This summer, the citizens of Harbin are extremely anxiously waiting for news from the south, and after entering June, every day there is a train full of Japanese from all over Heilongjiang to the south, and whenever they see these Japanese who are dragging their families and mouths, the citizens will lΓΉ out of a gloating smile.
After entering July. The citizens of Harbin were surprised to find that the gendarmerie corps, which was originally regarded as the Yama Palace, had been taken over by the national soldiers, and the sign at the door had been replaced with the headquarters of the Seventh Front Army of the Manchurian Defense Army, and a large number of national soldiers were inhabited. Then the real news came, it was not the squadron that launched the attack, but Lao Maozi, the national soldiers suffered a crushing defeat and were retreating from the territory of Soviet Russia.
After a few months of bombing, the Chinese Air Force did not visit the city, and citizens gradually forgot about the threat from the air. But today is different. The alarm suddenly sounded throughout the city, and the citizens looked at the sky in surprise, the sky was blue again, and only a few white clouds were floating in the air. The sirens screamed bitterly, and the citizens panicked towards the nearest bomb shelter, but only a few bold people ran out of the building. Look at the sky.
"Damn, why didn't the little devil come when he was here, but only came at this time." A young man in a white shirt mutters his frustration.
"Well, where do you think they're going to blow up?" The young man from another high point next to him looked at the sky with interest.
"I think it's still a bungalow area." Said a slender girl in a sky-blue sè school outfit beside them.
"It's also the bungalow area, it's blind," another girl with long braids next to her scoffed: "The bungalow area has been burned last time, and now there is nothing, what are you doing with the bombing, I think it's the city government, or the gendarmerie." β
Four people stood in a corner of the courtyard. Talking loudly without paying attention, two policemen came on the highway, and the voices of the four people dropped slightly, and when the policemen saw them, they shouted: "Why don't you go to the bomb shelter quickly, stay here and look for death!" β
"It's fine!" The tall boy shouted, "They won't blow us up." β
"Hey. Why? The police felt strange, and the boy smiled: "I'm Chinese, what are they bombing me for?" β
The police looked them up and down. This is going to be changed, and they can go up and arrest people. Manchuria can only be said to be Manchurian, and in no way can it be said to be Chinese. Otherwise, it would be a crime, but now, Japan is actually gone, and how long Manchukuo can exist, who knows.
"All right, you will die here." As soon as the policeman finished speaking, there was a roar in the sky, and the two policemen did not hide in the bomb shelter, and the six people hid in the corner of the house, looking up at the sky.
A large number of aircraft flew over the city, but the antiaircraft guns in the city were not fired, and the citizens did not know that when the Japanese retreated, all the antiaircraft guns in Harbin were withdrawn, and now Harbin is a city without air defense.
Gui Shaoqing, commander of the Seventh Front Army, also did not go to the air-raid shelter, he stood on the balcony of the headquarters, looked at the group of planes hovering in the sky, and said to his adjutant: "Mom! This little day lacks morality, and the anti-aircraft guns don't leave a single one for Lao Tzu, okay, let them blow it up, anyway, this Manchukuo won't be long. β
The adjutant didn't answer, he looked behind him, and Gui Shaoqing scolded: "Look at what, even if the mulberry garden is here, Lao Tzu will scold it, how can it be dropped, now catch the blind, let the family blow up, blow it up, blow it up!" β
The Japanese had advisers in every Manchurian Defense Army, from the commander of the front army to each company, and the advisers had the final say, and Major General Kuwazono Orizaburo was the adviser to the Seventh Front.
The Seventh Front Army was newly established, and there were not many troops in the city of Harbin, only two regiments, and six divisions below, and these troops were either in Manchuria, or in Jiamusi, and some were in Soviet Russia, and were retreating.
The main force of the Manchurian Defense Army was routed in Soviet Russia and was retreating to the Sino-Soviet border, and more than 70,000 people were surrounded. The retreating troops were scattered and turned into hundreds of routs of different sizes that fled into China, and the Seventh Front Army set up more than 30 shelter stations in the border areas to contain these routs on a full-time basis.
Gui Shaoqing was scolding, and suddenly found that the adjutant who looked up at the sky had changed greatly, he looked at the sky suspiciously, and when he looked up, he immediately froze.
