Emperor Showa's words shocked the ministers present, and they couldn't believe that this was true, how could His Majesty the Emperor make such a choice?

They can't accept it, but they can't change it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEveryone looked at Emperor Showa very weakly, as if asking him, why is this?

Even Prince Zaihito, the Minister of the Navy and the Minister of War, who advocated surrender, looked at Emperor Showa with some unwillingness.

Although they brought up this decision, when Emperor Showa actually made this decision, it was still a little difficult for them to accept it.

No one would be willing to accept this result, and they also thought about what kind of effect it would have in the whole country and even the whole world once the news was released.

The international status of the book will definitely be reduced to the end, and if I want to raise my head in the future, I will need to work harder.

But if he doesn't agree to Su Dao's request, he may not even have a chance to raise his head in the future. It's a dilemma, all the choices are hard to accept, but now the time has come to make a decision.

Previously, Su Dao's first ultimatum, no one took it seriously, and they even wanted to see Su Dao's jokes, so instead of paying attention to it, he continued to send troops to Huaxia.

However, what awaited them was a fatal blow, in less than half a month, the Kwantung Army was wiped out, and several divisions supporting the Kwantung Army were trapped in Dalian, and they were ruthlessly cut in two by the ** people.

The front and back could not be echoed, the supply of troops on the front line was forced to be interrupted, and the troops in the rear charged again and again, but were ruthlessly repulsed again and again.

More than 100,000 troops on the southern front were dragged there to death, and they failed to move forward for half a month.

The battle situation has been placed here, and all kinds of information are very unfavorable to Yue Ben, but now for Yue himself, perhaps only surrender can save the more than one million people who survived, so that they can have enough troops in the next expansion.

Until now, Emperor Showa has finally seen all this, although Huaxia is big, it is enough for him to temper three feet, but Huaxia is not his dish after all.

"But Your Majesty, how are we going to give an account to the country?"

Hiranuma Kiichiro's heart is full of unwillingness, he has been laying out for so long, and has invested so many resources and energy, but now he has obtained this result.

For him, surrender may not be a difficult thing to do, but how to explain to the people in the country is a headache.

In the past, the political axe had come one after another good news, although it was all a lie, but the people thought it was true.

How could the Imperial Army, which had always been brave and invincible, and had broken the enemy's defense line one after another, suddenly be defeated? Surrender, these two words may never have appeared in Yue himself's heart, not to mention that the object of surrender is still the Chinese people who are despised by them?

Once this matter comes out, there is bound to be one, or more, scapegoats in the country who will stand up and take on all this.

The anger of the people will definitely not burn to Emperor Showa, and it will not burn to Prince Zaihito, so the two ministers who have just taken refuge in the emperor, the emperor will naturally protect them, so who should be the scapegoat?

There is no doubt that the boss of this scapegoat group must be the boss of Kiichiro Hiranuma, and the entire cabinet under him cannot escape the fate of being a scapegoat.

Maybe it's unwilling, maybe there's still a glimmer of hope left in his heart, so Hiranuma Kiichiro asked how to tell the country regardless of his face.

"Hiranuma-kun, I know that although this is very unfair to you, you should understand my distress, this matter is very important to the Empire, we must not make any mistakes, and we must pacify the people in the country as soon as possible, and then throw them into other battlefields. So Hiranuma-kun, please, you will always be the glory of the empire, and the empire will not forget you. ”

Emperor Showa looked at Kiichiro Hiranuma with a slightly apologetic look on his face.

Although he was very angry that Hiranuma Kiichiro would ask about such a levelless remark, but Emperor Showa wanted someone to be a scapegoat, regardless of what he thought in his heart, at least there should be an attitude on the surface, right?

"Hiranuma-kun, please rest assured, Your Majesty and I will do our best to save your life, and at the same time, I also promise you that by providing protection to your descendants, you will never let the civilians of the empire harm them."

As if feeling that Emperor Showa's words were not enough to impress Kiichiro Hiranuma, Prince Zaihito followed and spoke directly.

Now everyone knows that this scapegoat is not easy to be, it is not the kind of person who just goes to prison for a period of time, and if he doesn't do it, he will be exterminated.

If Kiichiro Hiranuma is alone, then it is good to say that as long as the emperor gives an order, he can also live a civilian life or save his life.

And in this current situation, even the emperor does not dare to let Hiranuma Kiichiro die, because everyone is afraid that he will jump off the wall in a hurry.

What is there to be afraid of a person whose family is about to be destroyed? Even if no one wants to follow him, as long as he releases the truth in the name of the prime minister, it will surely cause a strong sensation in his country.

When the time comes, let alone anyone else, even Prince Zaihito is estimated to retire for the elderly, even if it is His Majesty the Emperor, it is estimated that the future will not be so good.

And at this time, in order for Kiichiro Hiranuma to stand up willingly as this scapegoat, Prince Zaihito must come up with some conditions that are enough to make him happy.

"Your Majesty, once Lao Chen has taken on all the responsibilities, then my family will definitely not be able to live a civilian life, so Lao Chen implores His Majesty to allow Lao Chen's family to go abroad."

After being entangled, Kiichiro Hiranuma, who knew that he couldn't escape this catastrophe, although he had the assurance of Prince Zaihito and the emperor, he still couldn't put all the weight on the emperor's body.

He knew the anger of his people, and no one dared to guarantee that the civilians would not kill his family, so the only solution was to send his family abroad before Hiranuma Kiichiro stepped forward.

"In that case, Hiranuma-kun, you can go with confidence, I will take out some money from the treasury in the palace to ensure that your family will have no worries about food for a period of time in the future."

Emperor Showa nodded and agreed to Kiichiro Hiranuma's request.

The death of a person and the death of a family are the same result, and neither can change the current situation, and the most important thing is Kiichiro Hiranuma, if he wants him to take all the responsibilities perfectly and minimize the blow to the prestige of the royal family, in order to ensure that Kiichiro Hiranuma will not turn back, Emperor Showa can only do this.

After the Imperial Council, several of the palace guards, with the huge amount of money they had received from Emperor Showa, followed Kiichiro Hiranuma back to his home.

And Hiranuma Kiichiro also quickly gathered all his family back, everyone only packed some clothes, only brought some money, just a few hours later, Hiranuma Kiichiro's family boarded a ship to the United States.

July 8, 1939.

This is destined to be an unforgettable day, as the earliest anti-fascist country in the war, the most serious losses, ancient China, on this day, when everyone did not expect, came a news that they could not believe.

At the same time, I can't believe it, some soldiers who don't want to accept the reality, some choose to commit suicide by caesarean section, and some choose to fight to the death with their opponents.

No matter who the person on the other side was, as long as it was not himself, they would kill when they saw it, and for a time, burning, killing and looting were all flooding the entire North China region.

But fortunately, it was only a part of the army that lost their minds, and under the strong pressure of Su Dao, Sugiyama Yuan and Matsui Ishine had to tell the troops in Sanzhi, stand by in place, lay down their weapons, and wait for the Su Dao army to receive them.

At the same time, with Su Dao's consent, or rather Su Dao's authorization, Sugiyama had to send troops to strangle those soldiers who had lost their minds.

If they can reflect in time, they will be gathered into the troops, and if they cannot reflect, they will be killed. In this regard, Su Dao was not worried that they would release water or anything, and at the same time of authorization, Su Dao also gave a death order to Yue himself, within twelve hours, if there is news that the Yue army is doing evil outside, they will take certain military sanctions against the Yue army.

Before, they weren't afraid, because they had weapons in their hands, but now it's different, twelve hours is enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to lay down their arms and walk into the prisoner of war camp.

"Throne, win, we win."

Wu Zhongguo took the telegram from the official government and turned on the radio in the military headquarters at the same time, listening to the surrender order issued by Emperor Yumoto himself, jumping excitedly, like a child of a few years old.

The other people in the headquarters were the same, many of them hugged each other, with a trace of bitter tears in their eyes, and couldn't help but think of those sacrificed comrades, silently telling them that we had won, and we had defeated the devils.

"Now is not the time to be happy, inform the troops to take turns to repair for a day, and then go and gather the surrendered troops together as soon as possible. After all this was done, the whole army was given a three-day holiday.

At the same time, a report was sent to Wuhan to inquire about the handling of prisoners of war, and at the same time requested Wuhan to transfer a batch of food to the prisoner of war camp. ”

Although Su Dao was also pleasantly surprised in his heart, he knew that it was too early to be happy at this time.

Because for Su Dao, the next thing is the most difficult, Su Dao has to find a way to balance the forces on both sides, and at the same time ensure that he has enough living space.

Although the withdrawal from China is a foregone conclusion, it is not all withdrawn, at least in the northeast region, he will not withdraw in the short term, and even before the war with the Soviet Union, Su Dao will not leave the northeast.

This will be an important springboard for him to attack the Soviet Union, and no one can stop it. (To be continued.) )
