Emperor Hirohito's side has not yet discussed the answer, and Zhao Zhi's side has a tricky matter, and MacArthur is obviously on Zhao Zhi's side. For the sake of the gold and antique porcelain sent by Zhao Zhi, MacArthur agreed to postpone the request to garrison Japan, but as soon as Zhao Zhi left the Philippines, MacArthur reported the matter to the US Congress. When the politicians of the Diet learned that Zhao Zhi had been stationed in Tokyo and controlled the Japanese emperor, they demanded that troops be stationed in Japan, and under the strong obstruction of the lawmakers contacted by the Lockman family, the Diet had to send a special envoy to Japan to face Zhao Zhi and the Japanese emperor, hoping to reach a comprehensive ceasefire in Japan.

The Americans sent a special envoy to face the Japanese emperor, and this news was certainly not good news for Zhao Zhi, but he had no way to stop it now. Resistance to armed attacks on the Thunder garrison broke out in various parts of the Japanese mainland, and if it weren't for the timely arrival of the Lockman family's fleet, the small number of troops in the hands of Zhao Zhi and Halsey alone would not be enough. The arrival of the first batch of 30,000 reserve mercenaries and a large number of military supplies made Zhao Zhi temporarily relieved, as long as Thunder could control Honshu Island again, the Japanese mainland would lose its ability to parry.

"Zhao, do you know, the Congress is going to send a special envoy, and we don't have much time." Halsey, who had been dragged into the water by Zhao Zhi, was also reluctant. He had already received an order from the Pacific Fleet that the Third Fleet under his command would be transferred to Philippine waters as soon as the Seventh Fleet, which was entangled with the remnants of the Japanese fleet at sea, was freed up. Seeing that the opportunity to make a fortune was in front of him, but he had no chance, Halsey scolded the troubled MacArthur from the moment he received the order.

"We're friends, aren't we, since we're friends, I'll keep your share for you, and when the war is over, I think you'll be a rich man." Zhao Zhi squeezed his eyes at the frustrated Halsey, and the smile in his eyes instantly made Halsey happy, it seemed that Zhao Zhi had no intention of abandoning him to eat alone.

"Zhao, do you want my fleet to fight Shikoku Island as well, I think there are also things you need there." In return for his friend, Halsey suggested that he should do something about Shikoku Island now, but Zhao Zhi refused. Zhao Zhi did not tell Halsey the real reason, because this is a secret of the thunder, almost all of the new drugs that were shipped from the United States were sold to Shikoku Island and Hokkaido, and the Sleeper troops took the opportunity to use these drugs to control many officials and gangsters in these two places.

After several years of operation, almost all of the underground forces on Shikoku Island and Hokkaido have been firmly controlled by drugs, which is why Zhao Zhi is fighting so hotly on Kyushu Island and Honshu Island, but Shikoku Island has not moved. It's just that Zhao Zhi doesn't want to be too obvious now, otherwise when he sent a commando team to capture the palace, the lurker troops of Shikoku Island and Hokkaido would have already responded positively.

Halsey was unable to help his friend continue the offensive as he had hoped, but Zhao Zhi asked Halsey's fleet to help transport troops north to Japan in the Vietnamese harbor. Just the transfer of transport ships, this is a trivial matter for Halsey, the commander of the fleet, without waiting for the Rockman family's fleet to be fully loaded. Halsey's transport ship escorted the two pre-loaded ocean-going vessels back to the Vietnamese seaport. Seeing the fleet leave the port, Zhao Zhi refused the invitation to dinner with Halsey, and instead went straight back to the palace, where he wanted to force Emperor Hirohito to issue an edict for a complete armistice for the Japanese army before the arrival of the American envoy.

Knowing that he alone could not force the whole of Japan to surrender, Zhao Zhi played a word game with Emperor Hirohito, and his proposal was to first order a complete truce for the invading Japanese army, then seal the weapons and equipment under the supervision of Thunder, and then arrange ships to transport these troops back to Japan. When Zhao Zhi and Emperor Hirohito suggested a total armistice, they did not mention a total surrender, which made it much easier for Emperor Hirohito and his ministers to accept, and as long as their troops were still there, Japan would be revived.

The whole of Tokyo was now in the hands of Thunder, and in order to ensure the safety of himself and the Imperial Palace, Zhao Zhi ordered the Jewish troops to drive all the Japanese in the Tokyo city to Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures. At the insistence of Fumima Konoe, Zhao Zhi only promised to accommodate no more than 50,000 elderly and infirm women and children in the Tokyo city, and all other Japanese must leave the Tokyo city within three days, otherwise they would be regarded as resistors and shot directly.

In order to ensure the safety of local civilians, Konoe Wenma scolded Zhao Zhi while ordering the police force to help drive away the civilians in the city, and in only two days, in addition to the less than 50,000 old and weak women and children, only Zhao Zhi and Halsey's troops remained, and Tokyo at this time could be regarded as a military city. Of course, Zhao Zhi would not be stupid enough to lie in the city of Tokyo and wait for the Japanese army from all over the city to attack, and the resting civilians who were driven out of the city were Zhao Zhi's best weapons, and under the drive of the Jewish troops, these citizens of Tokyo had to continue to move in the direction of Nagoya.

With a large number of Japanese civilians in front, Breman, who followed them, was able to take over several resistance lines in a single day, and as long as time and conditions permitted, Breman from Tokyo would soon be able to join forces advancing eastward from Yamaguchi Prefecture. The speed of the thunder's encroachment on Honshu Island had to make Tojo Hideki applaud, and this veteran Japanese soldier was also full of praise for Zhao Zhi's command ability, saying that if it weren't for this war, maybe he and Zhao Zhi could become a pair of old friends.

Zhao Zhi really has no interest in becoming a New Year's friend with a guy like Hideki Tojo, what he is interested in now is when Emperor Hirohito will issue an armistice edict, with the edict, his next plan can be launched immediately, and it must be carried out immediately, otherwise when the Americans wake up, Thunder will only have to eat leftovers and drink wild vegetable soup. "Your Excellency, can you really guarantee that the Nationalist Government will release our troops in China?" Konoe Furuma, who was already dizzy, got a fluttering verbal assurance from Zhao Zhi, but he didn't know that Zhao Zhi was just perfunctory to him.

If the sudden dispatch of Thunder troops to land on the Japanese mainland to fight was the biggest news in 1943, then the day after Konoe Funma received assurances from Zhao Zhi, even more shocking news appeared, the Japanese emperor issued an edict ordering all Japanese troops in China to lay down their arms and cease fighting with the Chinese army, and then maintain the current control area unchanged, waiting for Thunder to intervene in the matter of a comprehensive retreat. Early the next morning, Emperor Hirohito, who had been frightened for several days, was surrounded by cabinet ministers and read out the "Edict of the End of the Chinese Theater of Operations" on the radio, announcing that all Japanese troops and expatriates would be withdrawn from China.

Emperor Hirohito obviously didn't sleep well, those two big dark circles looked like the giant pandas in Sichuan, and then looked at the cabinet ministers around him, some of them had the same virtue as Emperor Hirohito, and some people clearly had relief and joy in their eyes. As long as the emperor's edict was issued, the cabinet ministers, who had been guaranteed by Zhao Zhi, were free again, and they no longer had to be forced to play clowns and do menial work with bayonets by mercenaries, and they were still high-ranking cabinet ministers.

The speech read by Emperor Hirohito was planned by a staff team sent by Rowling, and it is said that the Americans do not know about Japan, but there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and under the temptation of a large amount of money, some Japanese literati who were blinded by interests helped write the speech of the final edict, and after careful revision by the staff group, the final result was the speech read by Emperor Hirohito.

Facing the muzzle of the black hole in the mercenary's hand, the tired Emperor Hirohito read word by word according to the script, although Emperor Hirohito's voice was a little dry, but those who listened to the radio could hear that this was their beloved Emperor Majesty. Emperor Hirohito could barely cry after reading the last sentence, the huge Japanese Empire was rampant in all directions in Asia, and the Great Japanese Empire, which was competing with the United States, the world's largest economic and industrial military power, for dominance in the Pacific Ocean had finally sunset. And this is still in his hands to become fragmented, becoming a lamb to be slaughtered, the hope of recovering the country and strengthening the country will also be ruthlessly poached away by Zhao Zhi, is there really no hope for the Great Japanese Empire?

Hirohito looked helplessly at the blood-red sunset, as if the result of this great war had been met many years ago, but it was a pity that the fanatical people at that time could not accept it, and perhaps after such a fiasco, the Japanese people would become stronger. Emperor Hirohito, who had read the edict of the end of the war, was once again taken back to his residence in the palace by the mercenaries, and Zhao Zhimei said that this was to protect the safety of Emperor Hirohito, and before the Japanese army in China truce according to the edict, the security of the whole Tokyo was still borne by the thunder, and the palace was the top priority.

After the emperor read the edict of the end of the war, and the remaining cabinet ministers did not have such an easy chance of survival, Zhao Zhi forced each of them to read a pre-written speech, which was nothing more than a statement urging the Japanese troops in China to act in accordance with the edict of the end of the war. Of course, Zhao Zhi will not forget to ask these cabinet ministers to sign the edicts in writing, and when these edicts of the end of the war signed by Emperor Hirohito and the cabinet ministers are sent to the Japanese-controlled areas, it will be the moment when all the Japanese troops lay down their arms.

Holding the edict signed by Konoe Wenma at the end, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but reach out to Luo Ying to ask for a cigar, in order to get to this point, Lei Ting sacrificed countless people. Just today, even if it is hindering the present moment, Zhao Zhi can finally say to the soldiers who died in the Thunder Battle--we have finally won.
