Chester? Admiral Nimitz sat in the living room of the official residence of President Moshan in Wuhan, holding the fragrant coffee provided by the presidential palace and sipping it lightly. With him were the Free British Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax, and the US Ambassador to China, Nelson? Rockefeller, Major General Weidemeyer, military attache of the U.S. Embassy in China, and others. As senior military and diplomatic officials of the United States and Britain (Free Britain), they are here today for final consultations with China's upcoming joint attack on the Hawaiian Islands and with a series of cooperation that will begin between China, the United States, and Britain.

With the US President's Special Envoy Harry? The success of Hopkins' visit to China led to a sharp warming of relations between China and the United States, and the Prime Minister of the Free Britain, Winston Churchill, also said that he could conditionally recognize the status quo in Australia. This was followed by an official visit to China by a joint delegation from the United States and Britain (Free Britain).

The purpose of such a fanfare diplomatic action is obvious, and the United States and Britain want to create a false impression on the people of Germany and the United States and Britain that China is already on their side! This is of great benefit to the armistice talks between the United States and Britain and Germany, which are going on in secret, and to boosting the sluggish morale of the two countries. The Chinese side seems to have acquiesced in the actions of the United States and Britain, and even cooperated with it to a certain extent. For example, high-level diplomatic receptions, overwhelming news reports, and huge mass protest marches organized by the Chinese Democratic Revolutionary Party (the official name of the Chinese Revolutionary Party of this time) and the Chinese GCD! Of course, this protest march was not against the conclusion of a "quasi-anti-fascist alliance" between China, the United States, and Britain. Rather, they oppose the "Sino-US Free Trade Agreement" proposed by the United States.

What time is it now? Those idiots at the U.S. Department of Commerce really take this free trade agreement seriously! Several British and American representatives present here were secretly complaining in their hearts. The most important thing at the moment is to quickly bring China over and get the 30 kilograms of life-saving weapons-grade uranium-235 from them! If it's too late, the Germans may have to take the lead, and when the time comes, let alone free trade, even the United States may not still exist!

Chester? Nimitz already knew that the navies of the United States and Britain were now preparing for a massive landing operation on the island of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Sea! And the 30 kg of weapons-grade uranium-235 will also be used in this military operation! The United States could do without the Panama Canal, but it could never tolerate the occupation of Puerto Rico by Germany, because that would mean that the entire East Coast would be under the threat of Hitler's atomic bombs.

In addition, the cause of the elimination of Emperor Hirohito, the most dangerous enemy of the United States of America. It is also necessary for the powerful Chinese Pacific Fleet to take action! When he thought of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, Nimitz's heart felt as if he was dripping blood. Ten years ago, this country did not have a navy in the true sense of the word! Even a little more than a year ago, China's navy was only dominating the South China Sea in a small pond, and could not enter the Pacific Ocean at all. Now they want to turn Pearl Harbor, the former home port of the US Pacific Fleet, into an overseas military base of their own! The U.S. Navy, which once dominated the Pacific Ocean, has retreated to several heavily fortified military ports on the west coast of the United States, and even today, when the Japanese Empire is almost on the verge of extinction, it cannot muster the courage to recapture its former home port!

Thinking of this question, Admiral Nimitz was almost ashamed of himself, and if he was Japanese, he would probably have to find a place where no one was to commit suicide.

Just as Nimitz lowered his head and tried to find a crack in the smooth glass-like floor of the Moshan Presidential Residence. A melodious Chinese roll call suddenly came from outside the door: "His Excellency Luo Yiqun, President of the Republic of China, has arrived!" Everyone in the parlor stood up, and Nimitz stood and saluted, somewhat reluctantly.

Luo Yiqun, who has been president for almost five years, looks surprisingly good today. With a smile, he shook hands with the American and British representatives in the room one by one, and then sat down and smiled: "I have good news for you." We are with US Secretary of Commerce Harry? Mr. Hopkins' negotiations on the U.S.-China Free Trade Agreement (USFTA) have come to a successful conclusion. With a huge Chinese market and countless opportunities, the doors are now open to U.S. companies and investors. Of course, there seems to be a stubborn Japanese nail in Hawaii at the gate of the Chinese market, so let's discuss how to pull it out. ”

The American and British delegates present listened to the secretary's translation, and they all burst into laughter. Comparing Hawaii's Hirohito to a stubborn nail couldn't be more apt. It was clear that it had been defeated by the Chinese, even three atomic bombs were lost, and almost half of the homeland was lost, but they did not admit defeat, and finally ran to Hawaii, ready to resist there to the end.

Marshal Luo Yaoguo, Chief of the General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces, who walked into the meeting room with Luo Yiqun, stood up at this time. In fluent American English, he continued: "Gentlemen, the military preparations for the Chinese side to attack Hawaii are nearing completion, and the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy has been formed, with the main ships including 10 large aircraft carriers and 3 Zhenyuan-class battleships. 5 heavy cruisers of the Admiral Hipper class, as well as dozens of light cruisers, destroyers. and 8 newest Palawan-class landing ships. The army has formed a new Pacific Front, with its headquarters in Naha City in the Ryukyu Islands, and its commander will be General Sun Liren of the former Nanyang Front. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to a burly and tall lieutenant officer beside him, and the officer had four shining gold stars on his epaulette, which was Sun Liren, who had just been promoted to army general. Sun Liren stood up, saluted Luo Yaoguo with a serious expression, and then faced the American and British representatives in the living room, nodding slightly.

Luo Yaoguo smiled and waved his hand at Sun Liren, motioned for him to sit down, and then looked at Admiral Nimitz opposite and said with a smile: "Mr. General, there is a question that must be determined now, that is, who will be the commander-in-chief of the joint operation between the two countries in Hawaii this time?" ”

Nimitz stood up. Deep-sighted. looked straight at Luo Yaoguo: "President Roosevelt hopes that His Excellency Marshal can personally serve as the commander-in-chief of this Sino-US joint military operation." Because according to the records of the U.S. government, His Excellency the Marshal was born in 1899 in Honolulu, the Hawaiian Islands, in the United States Territory, and received a U.S. passport when he reached the age of 16, Hawaii is the homeland of His Excellency the Marshal, and the United States is also one of Your Honorable Countries, Your Excellency also served in the U.S. Army, and President Roosevelt believes that you are one of the greatest military men the world has ever seen! Therefore, it is most appropriate for Your Excellency to be the commander-in-chief of the military operation to recover the Hawaiian Islands! Saying that, Nimitz snapped upright, gave a standard military salute to Luo Yaoguo, and said loudly: "The U.S. Pacific Fleet is now under the command of Your Excellency!" ”

Luo Yaoguo looked at Nimitz, and the American admiral also looked back at him with a solemn expression. Luo Yaoguo knew. This is Roosevelt playing the emotional card with himself, trying to arouse his own sense of identification with the "motherland" of the United States (in fact, the Chinese mafia in Hawaii created a false birth certificate), and at the same time shift the main responsibility for the entire military operation to China. However, this also gives China a chance to stand up in front of the United States and Britain! After all, hegemony is fought!

Luo Yaoguo and Luo Yiqun exchanged glances. He stood upright, raised his right hand and gave a military salute to Nimitz: "Mr. General, I am very honored to take over this mission, and I will do my best to completely wipe out the Japanese invaders in the Pacific!" ”

Nimitz looked at the Chinese marshal in front of him, a trace of murderous aura suddenly flashed on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Your Excellency Marshal, President Roosevelt has another request, the United States must get the dog mongrel of Emperor Hirohito, whether it is dead or alive!" ”

……

Honolulu. The Emperor's Imperial Palace.

Emperor Hirohito of the Empire of Japan was walking around in his study at this moment. During this time, an inexplicable sense of fear suddenly haunted his heart, and he couldn't shake it off, could it be that Amaterasu was warning her children and grandchildren?

At present, Emperor Hirohito's waist has been clumped, and his originally black and shiny hair is now mixed with gray color. He is not yet forty years old, and he is in the prime of life, but at a glance. This Japanese emperor is like an old man who is over the age of six!

Kido Koichi, King Asakanomiya and King Hiroko Fushimi Palace had a bitter face, and stood respectfully at the bottom of the position, just looking at Emperor Hirohito. I don't know how many generals are in the Japanese Empire, but the only thing that Emperor Hirohito really trusts now is the three civil and military generals from the princely family and the imperial family in front of him. They are now. One is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet who provoked the mess of the Japanese Empire; One was the Minister of War who commanded more than two million remnants of the army; There is also the head of the only Japanese navy that can still handle it.

The trust of the emperor and the expectations of tens of millions of people. It was as if two mountains were pressing on the shoulders of these three people. Looking at Emperor Hirohito, the son of God, the idol of all the Japanese people, now like an ant on a hot pot, his hair is gray in a hurry, and he is still circling there, Kido and Asakanomiya and Fushimi Palace only feel that their eyes are full of tears.

Hirohito summoned the three of them today because he had just received the signing of the "Pacific Security Treaty" by China, the United States, Britain (Free Britain), and although I don't know what the specific content of the treaty is, I can also imagine it with my toes, and it must be related to His Majesty the Emperor who retreated to Hawaii!

If this time it was only the US Pacific Fleet that was looking for trouble, then King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong was already patting his chest and asking for war for the navy, but the problem is that most of the people who are going to hit the door this time are terrible Chinese! If the Japanese Navy had the strength to defeat the Chinese Navy, Emperor Hirohito would not have been exiled to Hawaii by now. As for the waist of the Minister of War Asakanomiya, he was the commander of the new Japanese Front that had high hopes! After a series of lightning attacks by the Australian Front in China, the New Japanese Front, which numbered more than 700,000 troops, now has less than 200,000 troops still trapped in the new Tokyo City (Sydney...... And the commander of Asakanomiya himself was cheeky and left his army and ran back to Hawaii to "King Qin", and as a result, he was trusted by Hirohito and became a minister of war! It's just that the eyes of the army on the Hawaiian Islands looking at this minister seem to be full of disdain.

The four of them didn't say a few words after they met. It was almost sad and relatively speechless there. All morning. Hirohito shuffled in this study, turning in circles, and this atmosphere was in the messy footsteps of Hirohito, making people feel more and more suffocated and desperate!

In the end, Prime Minister Koichi Kido let out a long sigh, fell to his knees, and shouted, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty the Emperor! You are a symbol of the Great Japanese Empire, and as long as you are around, there will always be a day when the empire will be revived. There will always be a day when the thieves will be ambushed! Now is not the time for Tongchina to consider the gains and losses of one city and one island, His Majesty still leaves quickly and goes to ...... The Galapagos Islands are in command! ”

Koichi Kido said these heartfelt words while shedding tears. Now it looks like the Hawaiian Islands can't be saved! Most of the hundreds of thousands of subjects of the Japanese Empire here, as well as the elite of the army and navy, will also be buried, but His Majesty the Emperor himself can still escape. The Galapagos Islands, near South America, were now under the control of the Japanese Central American Front, loyal to Hirohito. If you run there, you can still survive for a while, but if you can't do it, you can only go to Suriname and Guyana, which are under German control, to be a real king of the dead country, and it is good to dream of restoration behind closed doors.

Hirohito slowly turned his head and looked at the three ministers in front of him who were about to cry like tears, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "What's wrong with my imperial army?" How did the invincible navy and army of the Japanese Empire become like this now? The people of China have not yet come! They just signed a treaty with the United States and Britain, and you are scared like this? I thought I was going to run away...... I ran from mainland Japan to New Japan, and from New Japan to Hawaii, and now I'm going to go to the islands...... These days. When I dreamed of Emperor Meiji, he pointed at my nose and scolded, saying that I was not worthy of being his grandson, let alone emperor, and that I had lost the spirit of the Yamato nation of valuing name and death, and was running around like a lost dog! With my example here, there will be no day of revival for the whole nation! I am a sinner of the Japanese Empire, a sinner of the Yamato nation, and I am not worthy of being this emperor! ”

Emperor Hirohito suddenly erupted, and his thin and thin body shook violently. Two sickly flushes welled up on his pale cheeks. He strode to the edge of the desk, swept his hands violently, swept the four treasures of the study on the table, and the documents and reports on the table, and then overturned the desk, crying, "I am not worthy of the emperor." I will no longer be the emperor, and I will abdicate to make way for Xian...... Kido Kido. It is planned to enthrone Prince Akihito...... I just like Chongren and Bei Yihui's intentions, let's be an emperor who cares for the sky! ”

Hearing Hirohito's suggestion to give way to Akihito, Kido and the others complained in their hearts, where is this to retreat, obviously they still want to fight! Otherwise, it should give way to Chongren. Now that there are already two emperors in Japan, what kind of calculation is it to toss out another emperor? Do you want to learn from the historical Emperor Go-Shirakawa who practiced "court administration" (that is, the emperor manipulated the emperor to control the government)?

The three of them only shook their heads in their hearts, but they still had to appease Hirohito, who was close to the rampage, and Kido Koichi persuaded bitterly: "Your Majesty must not abdicate, now the national disaster must rely on Changjun, Prince Akihito is too young to personally lead the army and navy to resist the war." Now the most important thing is to resist the violence from the outside, and to fight against the national thieves from within, without Your Majesty's eloquence and strategy, it is impossible to accomplish such a heavy task, and please cheer up Your Majesty and command the 3 million imperial army to fight to the end! ”

The Minister of the Navy, King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong, also echoed: "The United States and Britain are now co-opting the tyranny, and the battle of Hawaii must be imminent, and the army and navy plan to establish a general headquarters in the Galapagos Islands, and His Majesty will personally command the decisive battle in Hawaii!" ”

At this time, no one had confidence in holding on to the Hawaiian Islands, and the military could only make calculations to keep Hirohito fleeing again. In short, let's keep this master first.

But I didn't expect Hirohito to not want to run anymore this time: "The Meiji Emperor said in his dream that I had lost the spirit of the Yamato nation and was not worthy of being the emperor!" How dare you persuade me to escape! Besides, is it safe to run to that small island on the edge of South America? Your navy should not only stare at the Pacific Fleet in China, forget that the United States also has a Pacific Fleet! Where will the center of gravity of the combined fleet be at that time? Is it Hawaii, or is it an island? If it's in Hawaii, what about the U.S. Navy going south? If the fleet is also pulled to South America...... What's next? There is not even a decent home port, where should the fleet go to settle down? Where should I go? ”

Three ministers, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to answer this question.

Hirohito gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "...... Hawaii is the last foundation of the empire, and if it is lost, what reason will Germany have to support us? And how much value do we have for Germany? Therefore, Hawaii must defend it with all its might, and there is a way to defend everything, and it can't be defended...... One submarine can be withdrawn! Why make a big fuss, so you are not afraid of messing up the morale of the army? ”

Hirohito also showed a resolute look on his face at this time, and squeezed out another word from between his teeth: "Kido, you take Prince Akihito and Empress Ryoko to Germany, take all the gold in the treasury with you, and let Prince Akihito ascend the throne if I don't have time to come out in Hawaii."

…… Fushimi Palace, Asaka Palace, you are all royalty, you are all descendants of Amaterasu, and now I trust you the most. The defense of the Hawaiian Islands is under your personal command. Remember, this is our last battle! If he loses, he will have to go into exile in Germany...... Your family also walks with Kido and them. But in this battle, we must do our best to fight it well! All of Hawaii's armies were organized into the Guards Corps, and the commander was Asakanomiya; The main force of the combined fleet of the Navy is also concentrated in Hawaii, Fushimi Palace, you and Yamamoto Isoroku will make a good calculation, and see how we can use our fleet to defend Yamato Island (Oahu...... Also, prepare a couple of the best submarines just in case. ”

When the three ministers heard Hirohito's words, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His Majesty the Emperor hasn't gone crazy yet! Not only is it not crazy, but it is becoming more and more holy! If the emperor really listened to a few of them and ran to the Galapagos Islands, then this battle would be fought, and hundreds of thousands of people would surrender together! At this time, only the emperor himself can "live and die with Hawaii" inspire fighting spirit!

There are still nearly 200,000 elite army troops, a fairly large combined fleet, and hundreds of thousands of nationals from the Japanese mainland and New Japan here, and if they are all organized to fight to the death against the Chinese, there may not be no chance of turning things around. Even if they can't hold it in the end, won't a few submarines be able to quietly send out all the key people?

Besides, if Hawaii were to be lost, the general trend of the Japanese Empire would be gone, and then it would be a situation of exile in Germany. Without the broken battleships of the Combined Fleet, would Hitler not have given the Japanese emperor and his ministers a bite to eat?

Of course, Hirohito's wishful thinking is not without a little risk, such as whether Luo Yaoguo will be in a hurry and drop an atomic bomb directly, or the submarine on the way to escape is really unlucky to hit a Chinese or American destroyer...... But at this point, there's nothing foolproof! It is said that Luo Yaoguo was born in Hawaii, and the grave of his parents is also in Hawaii (but Japan has not found where it is), so it is estimated that he will not throw an atomic bomb at the place where his parents are buried, right? As for such an unfortunate thing as a submarine hitting a destroyer, with the blessing of Amaterasu, it should not be Emperor Hirohito's turn.

In the end, the three Japanese ministers finally figured out the key to it, and they all bowed deeply, and Kido Koichi replied: "The ministers understand the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor, and they will do what His Majesty wants!" The minister will draft an edict to His Majesty, announcing that His Majesty will personally lead the three armies to stay in Hawaii, and at the same time call on all the soldiers and civilians to fight to the end! Early tomorrow morning, the minister will personally escort the Empress and Prince Akihito to Germany, and when they are settled, they will immediately return to Hawaii to defend Your Majesty! ”

The decision to stubbornly defend the Hawaiian Islands, as well as the tragic fate of hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers and civilians, was hastily decided by Hirohito and other monarchs and ministers, and the last tragic sea and air battle in this Pacific War officially kicked off.
