Chapter 319: Japan's Choice
"Attack!"
The simple two words carry the ideals of thousands of people, and they also carry a stone in Wang Lin's heart for several years, or hundreds of years. Wang Lin traveled to more than a hundred years ago, and it is not wrong to say that it is hundreds of years.
After receiving the order, the Wehrmacht troops immediately picked up their weapons and equipment, because they were not very far from Tokyo, so at the beginning, the soldiers subconsciously loaded their triangular army thorns directly on their rifles, saving them from loading them when the fight started, wasting time. You must know that every minute and every second on the battlefield is extremely precious, and every minute and second wasted may be ruined with your own life.
Therefore, at this time, whether it is the highest command staff or the lowest level of attacking soldiers, there is a heavy pressure in the hearts of everyone, although this battle is not difficult, but this is the first time they have attacked the capital of another country, and it will also be the first real victory of the Wehrmacht since the expedition.
No previous victory can be compared to this victory, the Korean War, that cannot be called a victory, although in Korea, it was the largest battle they have ever conducted, and the battlefield in which both sides committed the most troops. This alone was not enough to satisfy the Wehrmacht soldiers, who merely acted as a passer-by, and this passer-by, incidentally, took North Korea into their pockets.
This time, however, it was the first time that the Wehrmacht had truly completed the war, from the difficult landing battle to the smooth sailing after that, experiencing the shortcomings of the landing war, and also testing the combat resistance of its own troops. Able to withstand the frantic attack of hundreds of thousands of people, the Wehrmacht troops did not disappoint.
Except for some of the troops left along the way, more troops were still sent to the Tokyo front, where there would be an unprecedented battle, no less than any of the battles of World War II in Pyongyang and Busan. This is the economic, cultural and political center of the city, and if Tokyo falls, it will mean that the city will face complete defeat.
A Wehrmacht soldier closely followed the steps of his comrades in front of him, and approached the outside of Tokyo step by step, a shocking battlefield, and black and white objects all over the ground, similar to charcoal that had been burned, and more like himself who had been burned to ashes. The heat generated by napalm is indeed enough to burn a person to ashes.
The surviving Yue himself seems to feel a glimmer of hope for survival, and if he can dodge the first round of attacks, he naturally expects to be able to dodge the second round of attacks. At the beginning, when a large number of civilians moved outside the city of Tokyo, the top brass was also furious, and even thought of sending troops to drive these civilians south.
In the end, however, this decision was taken down by Emperor Komoto, who believed that the people had already traveled long distances, and that most of them were now physically deprived of strength due to lack of food, and were not fit to go south again. If it is rushed to the south, it may provoke a popular uprising, the current great enemy, and the domestic civil uprising, which will be extremely unfavorable for the entire future war of resistance.
But it is clear that this is not what His Majesty the Emperor wants to see, and it is not in His Majesty's interests. Therefore, in the end, His Majesty the Emperor made a decision that seemed to appease the common people, but in fact it was selfish to the core. His Majesty the Emperor did not send troops to drive the people to the south, but even sent police officers in charge of law and order, who were responsible for the order of the civilian population.
In the same way, the police also divided the civilians into various areas according to His Majesty the Emperor's request, and if you look closely, it is easy to see that the civilians of the Tsumoto have been brought together by the police have firmly surrounded Tokyo. In the end, whatever F-FDTL intended to attack from, it had to pass through the temporary quarters of a number of civilians.
In other words, if the Wehrmacht troops want to attack the city of Tokyo, they must first kill all the people on the periphery, and of course, the emperor will not be stupid enough to let the people stay in the outermost periphery. Isn't all the hard work and the good image created before turned into a pool of muddy water?
At the outskirts of these people, Emperor Samoto still subconsciously arranged a part of the army, but most of the troops were still in the rear of the people, and they were known as protecting the safety of the Beijing Division and strictly preventing enemy spies from infiltrating into the city of Tokyo to cause sabotage.
On the other hand, Emperor Ben is using the people's ** as a shield, and when he is his last hope, he only hopes that the Chinese Defense Forces will never massacre civilians and take prisoners as they have done in history, so they will be stalemate with the Chinese Imperial Defense Forces outside Tokyo. It can be delayed for a day, and if it can be delayed until reinforcements arrive, it is even better. If it can't be delayed, it can only be blamed for the death of the sky.
It's just that what makes Emperor Yumoto most depressed is that at this time, the Germans also launched the same war, and suddenly the two big brothers of Britain and France were deeply trapped in Europe, and now the situation of the two big brothers is also extremely bad, it would be good to be able to protect themselves, let alone any assistance. Russia? In this regard, he directly ignored it, saying that he had always been at odds with Tsarist Russia, and he had already had the intention of fighting before, but in the end he was forcibly stirred up by the Chinese Empire.
And fought a battle with Tsarist Russia and Yuben, the only chilling thing is that the Russians did not lose a lot of troops, only a few tens of thousands, yes, tens of thousands of people are nothing in front of the 800,000 troops that they lost. Moreover, the war in Europe has broken out, and the Russians must not only focus on Europe, but also defend themselves in the Far East against the sudden attack of the Chinese Empire to regain the land previously stolen from China.
Therefore, at this time, it is extremely shameful to ask the Russians for help, and even if they can ask for help with shame, they may not dare to send troops over. After all, the previous bloody lesson is in front of you, and the Tsarist Russians will not heal the scars and forget the pain, not to mention that the scars are not healed now.
Since then, I can only turn to the American big brother who lives alone in North America, and now only the American big brother is slightly better, and I haven't encountered any more difficult problems. But it is clear that he still thinks highly of the Americans. In the early stage of World War I, the United States actually had very few troops, and its combat effectiveness was not high, and the army's weapons and equipment were just like that.
In addition, there are Mexicans who have been confronting the Americans all year round, taking on some of the American experience, and slowing down the pace of the United States' great development. The United States wants to join the war group at this time, and it is obviously not a very good choice. What's more, the United States is not suitable to join the warband until the Mexican problem is completely resolved.
If the Americans want to rise, they can only catch up with this world war, and if they want to catch up with the world war, they can only solve the Mexicans as soon as possible and solve their own worries. Otherwise, the US top brass would not dare to send troops to fight in other places. The battle in front was fierce, and there were many dead and wounded, but there was a fire in the backyard, and if you were not careful, you were going to hurt the original god. No matter how much the Americans want to rise, they dare not take such a big risk.
Although the Americans secretly agreed to send troops, the actual date of sending troops was far away, and I am afraid that by the time the Americans actually sent troops, they would have already erased their traces from this earth, become one of the subordinate countries of the Chinese Empire, and follow in the footsteps of Korea. The hand of the Chinese Empire in Korea clearly made Yue himself see his own end in the future, and they absolutely had reason to believe that one day in the future, the Chinese would definitely treat Yu himself like that.
As for other countries, forget it, self-protection is still a problem, not to mention aid. This damn war, damn human greed, if it weren't for that greedy **, why would I have come to this point today? Everything, blame me for the damn **.
In the palace, the emperor sat alone in the center, surrounded by powerful cabinet ministers. These so-called cabinet ministers are actually the emperor's spokesmen, and if there is any policy, the cabinet will introduce it, and if something unexpected happens, this responsibility will be borne by the cabinet and has nothing to do with the emperor. It is said that the practice of Emperor Ben's dark Chen Cang is extremely in place.
Of course, many of them also admired Emperor Komoto very much, how did he do it? Is it just a covert control of military power? But it seems that this is the only way, as long as the emperor is stuck in the military power, no matter how much the people below jump, it will be useless. As the saying goes, with soldiers in hand, there is no fear of rebellion.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Shina people have reached the outside of Tokyo City, and now they have begun to attack." A cabinet minister whispered timidly that he had thought of withdrawing and leaving the empty city of Tokyo to the Chinese Empire, but was strongly opposed by His Majesty the Emperor.
No matter what the people below say, His Majesty the Emperor just refuses to leave, and perhaps in His Majesty's eyes, the entire Empire, the whole world, and the entire earth, only Tokyo is suitable for His Majesty the Emperor to live in for a long time. Everywhere else can only be an area under the rule of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I think that we must make a decision immediately, whether to resist or surrender, and the further we delay, the more unfavorable it will be for us to negotiate!" Another minister hurriedly chimed in. has been an undercover agent and puppet for so many years, and at this critical moment of life and death, he doesn't want to die so unclearly.
"Baga, our great empire is the best nation in the world, the noblest race in the world, how can the Yamato nation surrender?" A minister who couldn't look at it shouted insults.
"Ueno-kun, wake up, the Chinese have already hit outside Tokyo, and now they are still talking about the world's first nation, the most noble race, what is the use of these? Will it allow us to defeat the Chinese? Let them leave their homeland? The minister, who had just begun to speak, responded with some anger.
From the very beginning, the minister was dissatisfied with the state of affairs in his own society, and the entire country continued to be controlled by the emperor alone, no different from the previous shogunate, but nominally better. But in fact, it was not as good as the shogunate. Only killed the shogunate during the reign of the shogunate, there was no invasion of foreign enemies, of course, he was also a person who came from the period of the shogunate's rule, and someone in the family benefited, and he was a small one, so he could only have a good impression of the shogunate, and even faintly hoped that the shogunate could be resurrected and control the power of the shogunate again.
It was only with the development of the society that the chances of the shogunate were getting slimmer and smaller, and the Tokugawa shogun was also executed at the beginning, and only a few of his descendants knew that they were really there. For so many years, the whole of Samoto did not know how many people like him still wanted to return to the rule of the shogunate.
"That's enough, gentlemen, don't quarrel anymore, we really need to come up with an accurate plan now. The people of China have already arrived in the city, and we are still arguing here, and spreading it will only lose the face of our empire. Emperor Samoto, who had been silent, finally spoke out to stop the quarrel among the so-called cabinet ministers.
The Emperor has only been in power for many years, and he is now encountering such a thorny problem, and to be honest, His Majesty the Emperor at this time also has a feeling of helplessness. The reason why he has been reluctant to speak up just now is that he hopes to find a feasible solution from the words of the ministers, but the following group of people has undoubtedly disappointed His Majesty the Emperor once again. It was a quarrel from the beginning, and it was still a quarrel until the end.
If it weren't for the fact that these people were still obedient, His Majesty the Emperor would have broken them into pieces a long time ago, how could they have stayed until now? It doesn't matter how much they quarrel in peacetime, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care, if you want to quarrel, you can quarrel enough, anyway, the final decision is still in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, even if you quarrel with the Emperor, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, do my thing?
His Majesty the Emperor has spoken, and the people below naturally do not dare to continue arguing, and those who have long been accustomed to this kind of battle do not take the Emperor's words seriously, and in this case, the Emperor always does not speak up first, and then a group of cabinet ministers quarrel to the death, and when they want to drown each other with spittle, His Majesty the Emperor will stand up to stop both sides, act as a good old man, and then speak out about his decision.
Although it seems that this is to maintain the friendship between the monarch and the minister, but in fact it is to cover up the ears and steal the bell, once or twice, even if it is for the sake of the emperor, everyone sees that you are the emperor, and there is no need to take it to heart, but if you always do this, it is a bit too inauthentic. Why do you stand up every time when we are arguing with you to the death? Doesn't that make it clear that we are being fooled?
But this is in the Imperial Palace, no matter how angry they are, they don't dare to be presumptuous here, don't say anything else, if they provoke His Majesty the Emperor, whether they can get out of the palace alive in this life is still one thing, although they are powerful figures outside, but when they go to the palace, there is no difference between them and a flat-headed common man. They could only quietly listen to His Majesty's hearing, nodding vigorously like dogs and sticking out their tongues. Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim
"I didn't expect the people of China to really dare to attack the civilians, they are so vicious, is there no one willing to stand up and support the Empire?" Emperor Motomoto muttered more to himself.
It seems to be complaining about the injustice of God, but if there is no afterlife, where will this life come from? For Wang Lin, a traverser, even if he kills all of them, it is difficult to resolve his hatred. Not to mention the massacre of some civilians, for the things that later generations of Yue Jun once sat down in China, it is reasonable to let Yue himself completely exterminate on the earth.
Emperor Yumoto only saw what happened to them, but he did not think about what happened to the Koreans half a year ago, and what happened to the Chinese a year ago. All of this is due to the fact that he is not hesitating, and it can be said without hesitation that the person who is least qualified to say this sentence today is himself. What qualifications do they have to say this from a country that has invaded other countries and wantonly slaughtered civilians? And who are they to complain about God's injustice to them?
In fact, the arrival of the Wehrmacht is not just to occupy the native territory of Yueben, some of the deep-seated problems are basically the same as the excuses used by Yueben when he invaded and occupied China in history, we are here to improve Yueben, and the cultural quality of Yueben is too low, affecting the balance of East Asia, in order to enable the people of Yueben to get rid of the sea of suffering as soon as possible and live a happy and healthy life, so we Chinese can only come to Yuben to help you personally.
As for how to help? To what extent does it help, it's not what you say, we have to have our own say, we didn't let you pay for the military, and the labor cost is already good, and the other conditions are better than swallowing back into the stomach. At this time, he could only stand here and snort weakly, and they had lost the ability to resist.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the situation has become like this, then we can only make one choice, Yamaguchi-kun, please represent me, go and contact the Shina people, and say that we are willing to negotiate peace with them, and let them send representatives to the place we have designated for negotiations!" Emperor Yuben said secretly, a faint sense of guilt rose in his heart, he felt sorry for the ancestors who worked hard to take the country over, and even more sorry for the royal family members who sacrificed their lives for the stability of the country, but now, he has no good way to do it, so he can only do it.
