Chapter 639: The Final Chapter
The 128th Songhu War of Resistance finally ended with the complete victory of the Chinese [***] team.
Not only was the 11th Division completely annihilated, but the 14th Division and the 9th Division were all disabled, and when they returned to the port to hold on, plus the remnants of the Marine Corps, the total strength was less than 20,000 men. The losses of naval ships were particularly severe, and continuing the operation could only lead to even worse defeat.
Therefore, at the request of Aoi, the consul general of the Chinese government in Shanghai, British Consul Lake and American Consul Cunningham considered that the continued exchange of fire between China and China in the vicinity of the concession would seriously affect the security of the concession, so they intervened to mediate.
Considering that Britain and the United States needed to put pressure on the Northeast issue, and that it was necessary to consider the concerns of Britain and the United States at this time, the Kuomintang agreed to cease fire negotiations.
The great victory of annihilating tens of thousands of Chinese troops, sinking and damaging more than 50 Japanese warships, and shooting down and destroying more than 300 Japanese troops gave the national political axe the confidence to negotiate.
Song Ziwen, who was the chief negotiator of the National Political Axe, proposed at the beginning of the negotiations: First, Hongkou has never been a concession land, and if the National Political Axe wants to recover the Hongkou area, all the people in the area must immediately and unconditionally withdraw; Second, the Songhu War of Resistance was unreasonably provoked by the Chinese side, and the Chinese side should compensate in full for all the damage caused to the national government and the people of Shanghai; Third, the army must unconditionally withdraw from the territory of the northeast that has been forcibly occupied by force.
Although the Yue side was very unwilling to fail, the delivery of troops to Shanghai required a strong fleet escort, and one of the only four aircraft carriers of the Yue army was forced to sink by itself, and three were seriously injured by the bombing, and they were absolutely unable to go to sea without a major repair period of more than half a year.
Under the pressure of the military headquarters, he implemented the wartime policy of expanding the army and urgently formed a 100 to 120 division. At the same time, tax revenues were significantly increased across the country to raise funds for the rebuilding of the aircraft carrier fleet.
In the course of the talks, the Chinese side adopted delaying tactics on the one hand, and on the other hand, it spread to the Western powers that Britain and the United States needed to prevent the Kuomintang from recovering the Hongkou Concession, otherwise it would indulge the enthusiasm of the Chinese nation to recover all the concessions and affect the interests of the foreign powers in China.
He said that his plan had indeed succeeded, and the great powers led by Britain and the United States naturally did not want to lose their concessions in China. After some consultations, the great powers pointed out that there were special historical reasons for the formation of such a situation in the Hongkou area, and that the great powers, including the Great Powers, had made contributions to the construction of the Hongkou area. It is suggested that the national government should not immediately take back the Hongkou area, but give the Chinese side time to gradually withdraw from Hongkou for a period of 10 years, and then regain sovereignty over Hongkou after the expiration date.
In order to appease the national government, the great powers agreed to give up the customs mortgage and hand over all the customs to China.
This is because Britain and the United States are also very disgusted that the Chinese side relies on the stationing of troops in Shanghai, does not regard the interests of Britain and the United States at all, and supports the demand of the Kuomintang to withdraw the armed forces in Shanghai.
As for the compensation demanded by the Chinese side, since the Chinese side also demanded compensation for the factories that were burned and blown up, Britain and the United States suggested that China and the United States negotiate a separate settlement between the two sides.
As for the question of the Northeast, the attitude of Britain, the United States and other powers was to wait for the ruling of the League of Nations.
Because of the pressure exerted by the foreign powers, and the national political axe took back the customs as he wished, the Yue side agreed to agree to exchange the rainbow [***] to China in ten years, so he had to reluctantly agree. On the Northeast issue, the Kuomintang had pinned its hopes on the League of Nations ruling, and had no choice but to agree to the proposal of Britain and the United States.
After the war, Song Zhewu's prestige in the country soared, which aroused the suspicion of Chiang Kai-shek, and he began to set up party offices in Taiyuan and Northern Mongolia and Southern Mongolia, further strengthening the surveillance of the areas controlled by Song Zhewu.
Since then, because the Soviet Union has invaded Northern Mongolia several times, Song Zhewu's main force has been attracted to Northern Mongolia and cannot get out, so Song Zhewu did not have the strength to change the original historical trajectory too much. Not only did the Great Wall War of Resistance, the Red Army's entry into Shaanxi, and the Xi'an Incident basically occur as scheduled, but even the all-out War of Resistance officially began in 1937.
However, because the industry in the area controlled by the Northern Frontier Governor's Office of which Song Zhewu was the commander had begun to take shape, the strength of the national political axe had greatly increased, not only Song Zhe's armed forces to protect Shanxi would not be lost, but the national political axe was also supported by Song Zhewu's planning, and the residents of Nanjing were evacuated in time to avoid the tragedy of the massacre, and the national political axe also dealt a heavy blow to the Yue army in a series of battles such as the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Battle of Lanfeng, and finally formed a stalemate in Shanxi, western Henan, Wuhan, and Guangxi.
Although the main force of the Fourth Route Army was dragged in Northern Mongolia, it became stronger and stronger in the battle against the Soviet Army, and with tens of millions of victims who moved to Northern Mongolia, the Fourth Route Army had reached 2 million people in 41 years. Although Song Zhewu did not have time to build a strong national defense industry, because of the extraordinary vision and consciousness of Song Zhewu, a traverser, the Fourth Route Army still built a complete national defense industrial system. Moreover, it is at the forefront of the world in the fields of electronics, machinery, and chemical industry.
Because Song Zhewu did not have large-scale industrial facilities, he could only take the high-quality route, and in terms of modern weapons such as aircraft and tanks, although the quantity could be compared with that of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, the quality of the weapons was much higher. In particular, the large-scale application of semiconductor components greatly reduced the weight of the high-power radar, and was installed on the giant airship by Song Zhewu, becoming an old version of the early warning aircraft, which took advantage of the air war against the Soviet Union.
During the air raid on Pearl Harbor, the agents of the Japanese army in Tianjin unexpectedly obtained information transmitted by a mysterious person, and learned in advance that the US aircraft carrier was not at the port base, but the Combined Fleet was already on the way, and at the insistence of Yamamoto Isoroku, the Combined Fleet still attacked Pearl Harbor and achieved almost the same results as in the original history.
Although it did not blow up the US aircraft carrier, the military has since developed trust in this mysterious person. Before the Battle of Midway, this mysterious man handed over to the secret service agency of the Japanese military secret service that the naval code had been cracked by the US military and that the US military was preparing to concentrate all the forces of the Pacific Fleet and ambush the main force of the Navy at Midway.
After receiving the information, the suspicious army confirmed the true surname of the information through a coded telegram sent by intention, so they concentrated their capital ships and defeated the American forces in the Battle of Midway. A total of more than 50 warships, including the USS Yorktown, USS Enterprise, and USS Hornet, were sunk, and the US Pacific Fleet was almost completely annihilated, completely grasping the initiative in the Pacific Ocean. Subsequently, the combined fleet of the Chinese army took advantage of the situation to occupy Hawaii, and the west coast of the United States was directly exposed to the threat of naval artillery of the Japanese army.
In order to hold the Chinese army and prevent the Chinese army from attacking the US mainland, the US political axe began to implement the Lend-Lease Act and ship a large number of strategic materials to China. He insisted on handing over part of the aid to Song Zhewu in Northern Mongolia, hoping that he would launch an attack on Yue in Northern Mongolia.
U.S. Ambassador to China Gauss also made a special trip to Taiyuan and sighed behind closed doors with Song Zhewu for three days.
Due to the heavy losses of the Soviet army in the European theater of war against Germany, it had to transfer the million Soviet troops stationed in Siberia to the European theater after signing a peace treaty with the Nationalist Axe.
Because the United States deployed a large number of war materials and personnel on the west coast, resulting in poor support for the European theater, the German army not only firmly suppressed the British and American troops in Britain and North Africa, but also captured Moscow in one fell swoop on the Eastern Front. Soviet political axes and a large number of factories in the west had to be relocated to the Ural region in the central and western part of the USSR.
At this time, Song Zhewu began to lay out the atomic bomb more than ten years ago, and finally succeeded in developing it under the auspices of Zheng Dazhang. So, in May 1943, Song Zhewu commanded millions of troops, with the support of powerful armored forces and air force, suddenly divided into four routes and launched an attack on the northeast where the Kwantung Army was stationed. In only one and a half months, it occupied and closed the line from Shanhaiguan to Rehe, and divided the army inside and outside the pass into two halves.
At this time, Song Zhewu issued a statement, announcing that from now on, he would only nominally accept the jurisdiction of the central government, no longer participate in any civil war, and would concentrate on governing the northeast.
The main forces of the Kwantung Army were encircled in the Qiqihar and Changchun areas, and then the main forces were directed towards the Korean Peninsula.
The aviation force of the Yue Army, in the face of the Gao Neng aircraft of the Fourth Route Army, was powerless to fight back, and was annihilated in only a few days, and began to bomb the Yue Ben mainland.
At this time, the US military was in the middle of a war in the eastern Pacific, and all its air forces were transferred there to fight bitterly with the US military. The local air defense is very weak. The air in this area soon became an airspace for the Fourth Route Army Air Force to soar at will.
When the main force of the Fourth Route Army arrived on the Yalu River, Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido, was suddenly attacked by a powerful bomb, and a huge fireball and shock wave instantly flattened Sapporo.
Song Zhewu immediately issued a statement that the Fourth Route Army had developed hundreds of atomic bombs, and demanded that the political axe of the city should surrender immediately and unconditionally, otherwise it would destroy all the large and medium-sized cities in the country from Hokkaido to the south.
The bomb with huge energy caused a huge panic in the political axe and in the country, but a handful of militarists did not give up, clamoring to arm 100 million people, carry out scorched earth resistance, and refused to surrender.
Three days later, the three prefectures of Aomori, Iwate, and Miyagi were bombed by atomic bombs, causing more than 200,000 casualties and forest fires. Although the political axe and the people in the country were extremely panicked, they still refused to surrender.
Five days later, Jia Jingde, on behalf of the Northern Frontier Governor's Office, once again ordered that the Zheng Axe must surrender immediately and unconditionally, otherwise the bombing site would continue to extend to the south, and as long as the Zheng Zheng Axe did not surrender, the Fourth Route Army would continue to bomb the country, even if it would not hesitate to scorch the earth.
After the bombing of Akita, Yamagata, Fukushima and other prefectures, Jia Jingde claimed in a statement that he had lost patience and would bomb the southern cities of Saymoto, and if Saymoto did not surrender, the next step would be to bomb Tokyo to the ground.
On the same day that Jia Jingdeok's statement was issued, Nagano, Sendai, Nagoya, and Kobe were bombed. The bombing of these large cities is different from the bombing of the northern cities with a small population, and the bombing of several cities has caused more than 1 million casualties.
Emperor Moto finally could not hold on, and in the evening of the same day, he issued an edict of surrender against public opinion, announcing that he would immediately and unconditionally surrender to the Chinese political axe. He asked the National Government to immediately send a representative to Tokyo to discuss specific matters.
Soon, a message came from the Northern Frontier Governor's Office, demanding that the troops stationed in China surrender to the nearest garrison, and that all the Kwantung Army outside the Guandong Army and the Korean and local garrisons must surrender to the Fourth Route Army. For the time being, the troops stationed in Southeast Asia must not lay down their arms, but must stick to their original defense areas, maintain local law and order, and disarm them after the Fourth Route Army arrives.
At the same time, he ordered all the military and civilian ships of the Japanese army to immediately assemble at the ports of Incheon and Pusan in North Korea and Lushun in China, and surrender to the troops of the Fourth Route Army.
After disarming the Kwantung Army and the Korean garrison, Commander Li Sichi's 400,000 troops, including the 50,000-strong Jewish Legion, landed in the city, disarmed more than 300,000 troops from the native army, and escorted all the surrendered soldiers to the northeast. He immediately began to dismantle all the industrial equipment that could be used by the army and transport it to the northeast, and began to build industrial facilities in various parts of the northeast.
Half a month later, after the combined fleet and other naval vessels sailed to Busan, Incheon, and Lushun one after another, and were smoothly taken over, Li Sichi began to expel himself from Kyushu and Okinawa to Honshu.
After the landing, the Jewish Legion did not continue to participate in the "robbery" operation of the Fourth Route Army, but went straight to Hokkaido, and then vigorously expelled the local people themselves in Hokkaido.
Immediately afterwards, the fleet of the Zhizhi Xinghua Shipping Company, which had dozens of large merchant ships, sailed to Lushun, Incheon, and Busan, and a large number of crew members who came with the ships joined the newly established Fourth Route Army Navy with Zhang Tao as the commander. He immediately used merchant ships to transport the 500,000 troops under the command of Zhang Yafei in batches to various parts of Southeast Asia to receive and accept the surrender of the Yue army.
After Zhang Yafei arrived in Southeast Asia, he quickly took over the Philippines, the Malay Peninsula, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar.
The British and French exiles reacted strongly to the Fourth Route Army's takeover of Southeast Asia and the exiled political axes of Britain and France, which had huge interests in Southeast Asia, and strongly protested to the national political axes. The Nationalist Political Axe ignored the protests of the foreign powers, and only single-mindedly absorbed the puppet army, expanded the area under its actual control, and reduced the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.
What made Britain and France strange was that Song Zhewu occupied the American colony of the Philippines, but the United States kept silent, and even sent a large number of naval personnel to participate in the training and training of the Fourth Route Army. The United States was silent, and Britain and France, which had been beaten to the brink in Europe, had no choice but to give up.
Due to the defeat of the U.S. military in the Battle of Midway, it had to focus most of its energy on defending the West Coast, and its support for Europe was insufficient, which led to Nazi Germany, which won a series of victories in Europe. At this time, on the European continent, except for Britain, Sweden, Denmark, and the Axis power Italy, the rest of the countries were occupied by the German army. Even the Soviet Union was occupied by the Germans for almost half of Europe.
After the surrender, the United States finally freed up its hands and began to concentrate on dealing with the European battlefield. At the same time, the United States-led Allies demanded that the Fourth Route Army send troops to the Soviet Union through Siberia to help the Soviet army defend itself against the German attack.
Song Zhewu rejected the request of the Central Powers, citing a lack of weapons and equipment. In order to get Song Zhewu to send troops and end the war as soon as possible, the American political axe had to transport a large amount of equipment for Song Zhewu.
Song Zhewu's Fourth Route Army quickly expanded to 4 million, and finally in early 44, the First Tank Army under the command of Sun Liren and the First Mechanized Army under the command of Liang Zhongjia set foot on the land of Siberia from Northern Mongolia and Heilongjiang respectively.
However, to the great surprise of the world, the 2 million troops of the Fourth Route Army did not drive to the European part of the Soviet Union to fight against Germany as agreed with the Soviet political axe in advance, but stopped after advancing to the Yenisei River, and immediately began to clear the Soviet troops east of the Yenisei River, and quickly controlled nearly 10 million square kilometers of land from the Bering Strait in the east, to Vladivostok in the south, and to the Arctic ice field in the north......
