524 Why don't you die?
With the signing of the armistice, the war ended. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
But it is clear that not all Japanese recognize the Coconut City Contract, and many people see it as an injustice against Sega in the world, and they are unwilling to admit defeat and lay down their arms.
Lan Fang did not launch an attack on these soldiers who tried to resist in vain, because according to the provisions of the "Coconut City Contract", the Japanese had ten days to withdraw the soldiers stationed in overseas territories to the country, so even if they wanted to attack, they would not be launched until ten days later.
On the fifth day after the signing of the "Coconut City Contract", Hara Kei and Tanaka Yoshiichi still returned to Tokyo on a U.S. warship, and at the moment when they were about to go ashore, Hara Kei walked to the gangway and hesitated.
When Hara Keiichi and Tanaka Yoshiichi left, Lan Fang had not yet bombed Tokyo, so Tokyo was still calm.
But by the time Hara and Tanaka Yoshiichi returned to Tokyo, the familiar port buildings were gone, and as far as the eye could see, there were still people looking for belongings and trying to recoup their losses, and some people wandering like walking corpses, and many more people were staring blankly or standing or sitting, looking into the distance without focusing beforehand.
On the pier, there were long endless white cloth covered corpses, and it could be seen that the corpses far away from the dock were all wrapped in white cloth, and later it was estimated that the white cloth was not enough, so the package was changed to cover, and then it was estimated that the white cloth was used up, and the sheets, straw mats, and even a piece of rubble became a shroud covering the corpses.
Although Takashi Hara is the prime minister of Japan, and Yoshikaki Tanaka is the Minister of War of Japan, Takashi Hara has already sent a telegram to Japan when he boarded the ship, saying that he will return today.
But it was obvious that there was no one on the dock ready to greet them, and naturally there was no need to think about flowers and colorful banners, just such silent indifference.
"Mr. Prime Minister, it's time to get off the ship...... Tanaka Yoshiichi could feel the sorrow in Hara Kei's heart, but Tanaka Yoshiichi was a soldier after all, and he could recover from his grief faster.
"I was wondering what it would have been like when Ito-senpai returned from the Qing Empire more than twenty years ago......," Hara muttered.
"At that time, the negotiations were held in Shimonoseki, and Ito-senpai did not go to Seikuni, but when the army that was fighting abroad returned, he received the cheers of the whole of Tokyo here, and although 24 years have passed, I still remember the scene of that day vividly, and I have never forgotten it." Yoshiichi Tanaka had a look of remembrance on his face.
"You fought in that war?" Hara was curious.
"Yes, I was in the 1st Division at that time, and although the 1st Division did not participate in the war, my plan was appreciated by the War Department, so I was able to enter the Republic of China with the team." Tanaka Yoshishi had pride on his face.
"Have you seen Li Hongzhang?" There was yearning on Yuan Jing's face.
Hara Kei was Japan's first civilian prime minister, and he was a diplomat, a newspaper editor-in-chief, a minister of posts and telecommunications, a general manager of a bank, and of course a prime minister, but he had no military experience.
"No, I was just a staff officer at the time, and I didn't have the opportunity to meet Li Hongzhang, but I read a lot of reports at the time, and I was just an ordinary old man." Yoshiichi Tanaka felt a little regretful.
"Hehe, I don't know what kind of mood Li Hongzhang was in when he left Tokyo." Yuan Kei's expression was complicated.
"Mr. Prime Minister, this is not your fault alone, and you do not need to be held accountable alone." Yoshiichi Tanaka tried to unravel Hara.
"Even if I don't have to take responsibility alone, at the very least, I should bear the biggest part." Hara Kei doesn't plan to run away.
After saying this, Yuan Jing stepped up the gangway, ready to face all this.
At this time, there were only a few lonely warships in the port of Tokyo, and most of the superstructures had been blackened, and only the American warship on which Hara Kei and Tanaka Yoshiichi were riding looked relatively new and was indeed quite conspicuous.
When Hara Kei stepped on the Tokyo pier, many people recognized Hara Kei, but unlike the previous cheers and pursuits, the people present today saw Hara Kei's expression quite complicated.
"The Coconut City Contract" is indeed too harsh for Japan, so harsh that the Japanese can't believe it is true.
Once upon a time, Japan, as a newly rising country, could force its thousand-year-old big brother to bow his head and admit defeat, and once upon a time, Japan could defeat Russia, which is known as the "gendarme of Europe", to the bottom of its subjugation, and that was the first victory of an Asian country in the face of European powers.
But what's going on now?
It's just that in the face of a country established by the Chinese that has been less than a year, Japan has actually been defeated, not only has the powerful fleet that has been accumulated for decades been sunk, not only is the army that the people of the whole country have been frugally frugal, but also made Lan Fang carry out a massacre of the heart of Japan, is this still Japan? What happened to Japan?
Just these days, almost all Japanese people are torturing themselves with this question.
So you can imagine how mixed the feelings of Tokyo citizens must have been when they were confronted with Hara Kei, the culprit who signed the "Coconut City Contract".
"Smack!" An item suddenly falls not far from Hara.
Yuan Jing looked at it fixedly, and it was a rib difference.
The man who threw the ribs at Hara was a young man who looked to be only about twenty years old.
"Baga!" Yuan Jing's guards immediately rushed over to arrest the young man and punish him.
"Don't hurt him...... Yuan Jing stopped him, trembling to the front of the ribs, bowed down and picked it up.
"I should have apologized to the emperor then, and in that case, I wouldn't have to suffer such an insult again." Hara Jing smiled bitterly at Yoshiichi Tanaka.
"Prime Minister, please take care, Japan is in great danger right now, and Japan needs you." Yoshiichi Tanaka bowed.
During this trip to Lanfang, Yoshiichi Tanaka went through all the processes, and of course he understood how hard Yuan Jing had worked for the country.
Maybe Yuan Jing's trip to Lanfang did not achieve the goal, but it must not be said that Yuan Jing did not put in the effort, in the face of the aggressive Lanfang people, Yuan Jing once fought on the basis of reason, tried every means to join forces, and even begged bitterly.
The death of heaven is not a crime of war.
"Yes, Japan needs the efforts of all of us, the more at this moment, the more we have to be strong, a Jiazi time, we build a strong Japan from nothing, as long as we are given another Jiazi, we can also build a strong Japan, gentlemen, work hard!" This last sentence was addressed to Yoshiichi Tanaka and all the attachés.
"Hai ......" Hara Kei's entourage bowed ninety degrees one after another, offering their greatest respect to Hara Kei.
"Help me put it away, and when I get back, I'm going to hang it on the wall and see it every day, so I don't forget the shame of today." Yuan Jing handed the rib to an entourage beside him: "Let's go, even if there is no carriage, let's continue to move forward." ”
The entourage silently put it away and walked forward with Yuan Jing.
Entering the city of Tokyo, what you saw and heard was even more miserable, this is the area with the heaviest losses on the day of the Lanfang bombing, about dozens of blocks were completely destroyed, because of the efforts of the fire brigade, the ground is still muddy, but in this muddy ruins, there are still countless people rummaging through the ruins with tears on their faces.
They may be looking for today's rations, or they may be looking for a lost relative, or they may be ...... Find hope to stay alive.
The Japanese are indeed a people with great endurance, and even if they are ruined by a tragedy, very few Japanese people fall into collapse.
Yuan Jing went all the way, not everyone threw knives at Yuan Jing to make Yuan Jing commit suicide, and some people bowed silently to Yuan Jing, and more people continued to be busy with their work as if they didn't see Yuan Jing.
At the gate of a ruin, Hara Kei saw a lonely child.
The child's face is covered with black ash, and he can clearly see the tears on his face, presumably he has been washing his face with tears for the past few days, this child is in rags, and it can be clearly seen that the clothes on his body do not fit, his lips have been chapped and peeled, and it can be seen that this child has been in a state of hunger for the past few days, even if it is already weak and shaking, this child stubbornly refuses to look for food, and only holds a woodcarved spinning top tightly in his hand.
Perhaps, this spinning top is the only thing left to him by the child's father or brother.
"Is it true that all government institutions are paralyzed?" When he saw the tragic condition of that child, Yuan Jing was really angry.
In the twenties of the twentieth century, Japan actually had a relatively complete government agency, Japan is a country with many earthquakes, so the emergency response agencies of the government departments have always been quite complete, and whenever a disaster occurs, the emergency agencies will always respond in time.
No one answered Yuan Jing's question, including the little boy in front of Yuan Jing, who just raised his head and glanced at Yuan Jing indifferently, and then buried it deeply.
It was this glance that deeply pierced Yuan Jing's heart.
"Mr. Prime Minister, what you know is only a part, or a small part, of this disaster, and you know, most of the whole of Tokyo is like this now, and the emergency agencies have not taken care of it." A voice suddenly replied to Hara Kei.
Yuan Jing looked intently at the past, it was a uniformed policeman who was holding a ceramic bowl with a little notch, and inside was a little gruel with a clear bottom.
The policeman came to the child and handed the gruel in the bowl to the child, who immediately devoured it.
Yuan Jing admired the policeman's behavior very much, so he smiled kindly: "What's your name, what about your colleague?" ”
"I'm Genichi Nakaoka, my colleague...... All have been sacrificed, in order to put out the fire that day. Nakaoka looked sad.
"Really, what about your family? Are they okay? Hara Kei took two steps forward and came to Nakaoka Genichi's side.
"It's not good, they're all dead, and now I'm the only one left, and I'm actually the police officer from Shinjuku." Nakaoka Gen looked sad.
"Shinjuku, why did you come here?" Yuan Jing asked casually.
Shinjuku, which is quite far from Minato Ward, is a real effort if you walk.
"Wait for you......" As soon as Genichi Nakaoka finished speaking, he suddenly stabbed Hara Kei's chest.
Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment, and before his hand could be raised, Nakaoka Gen quickly pulled out the knife and stabbed it again.
"You sinner, why don't you die? Why don't you apologize......" Nakaoka Genichi shouted frantically.
"Stop......"
"Prime Minister......
"Baga ......"
The scene was suddenly chaotic.
