Chapter 1202: Surrender (I)
Lin Sen now felt that he was more dreaming than a dream, even in a dream within a dream, he never thought that he would be able to plan his own land wildly in the entire Asian region.
At the same time, no country or individual has raised objections to this. Britain and the United States, the main countries of the allies, have tacitly acquiesced to Asia as the traditional sphere of influence of coalition governments.
To put it simply, even if the Wehrmacht was killing other races here. At most, they will give a verbal reprimand and then continue their cooperation.
And Japan, which the Axis powers might have condemned the coalition government, has already been beaten from a pig's brain to a dog's brain. Now they all have to beg for their lives by wagging their tails and begging for mercy from the Wehrmacht, who cares whether anyone outside Japan is dead or alive?!
Germany, Italy, and other Axis powers are now thinking more about how to deal with the new joint operations of the Allies. As for the other races in Asia, the FΓΌhrer said he had no time to pay attention.
The immigration policy of the Wehrmacht has been carried out, and at the same time, the local area has subtly begun to teach Chinese. These areas must become Chinese-speaking areas.
"This has to be done and now is our best chance to do it. If you miss this opportunity, it's even harder to wait for the next one......"
Tu Menghu said to Su Zongzhe, Yan Zhengqing and the others: "These regions are too important, they are related to our access to Europe and Africa. So, this area must be in our hands. β
"For this reason, we are even a butcher and a group of people. also did not hesitate to ......" but saw Tu Menghu facing a few people. He said in a deep voice: "This is our established national policy, and it is also a territorial and economic security strategy related to our country in the next few decades or even hundreds of years!" β
Lin Sen nodded, pushed his glasses and sighed, "The country is bigger." Even if the future generations don't fight for the family, they can be defeated for a long time......"
Immediately, I saw Yan Zhengqing smiling and revealing this topic.
"Commander, when will you participate in the surrender ceremony on the Japanese side?! The time has come to deal with this matter, and General Hanqing has called that they have sealed most of the Japanese funds and factories. β
At the same time, the data of technicians, engineers and researchers has been collected. These people are now in control, and the Ministry of Finance accounts for war reparations. It has also been done. β
"Japan still needs to clean up, but they need to restore order even more. At least for the time being, we can't keep them in chaos. Pick up as soon as possible. That's what we have to do......"
Tu Menghu nodded, he specially vacated for a long time to let Zhang Xueliang have time to clean up the remnants of Japan, and if the whole of Japan wants to be ruled by the Wehrmacht, then it must be reshuffled.
Some old and stubborn forces must be eliminated, and some pro-national defense forces must be promoted. Meantime. Those who try to fish in troubled waters behind their backs must also be cracked down.
And originally belonged to the royalist faction of Hirohito. It must also be weakened. The idea of the coalition government and the National Defense Force is to create a balance in Japan. Only when two or three forces are at a stalemate can the Wehrmacht be able to calmly control Japan.
If it is just a monopoly, it is too dangerous for the Wehrmacht. Dominance of one company is likely to mean loss of control.
"You are the current head of the Tokugawa family, the Tokugawa family?!" Zhang Xueliang was in his headquarters, looking at the man in the tuxedo in front of him with a little interest.
"Hai, below is the current head of the Tokugawa clan, the Tokugawa duke's family, and the former president of the House of Nobles. Tokugawa Iemasa. But seeing this man bow deeply to Zhang Xueliang with great respect, he replied.
Zhang Xueliang was very satisfied with Tokugawa Iemasa's attitude. That's the attitude of a smart person. Hirohito's words, although he surrendered, every time he saw himself, it was like seeing a plague god.
made Zhang Xueliang extremely unwilling to see Hirohito, and at the same time, when Wang Yajiao proposed to cut off Hirohito's royalist forces and support the former general's forces, Zhang Xueliang chose to support it without hesitation.
"You're from the Aizu Domain?!" Zhang Xueliang said, looking at the other person with a little interest.
"Yes, down there is the lord of the Aizu Domain, Matsudaira Rongda......" but seeing that the man was silent for a while, he bowed slightly to Zhang Xueliang and replied.
These two can be said to be the sworn enemies of the royal family today. It is also a sworn enemy of the Japanese military and Japanese political circles. Relatively well, the Tokugawa family was not suppressed much because of its great influence.
The Aizu Domain, which had fought against the Nagasu and Satsuma domains that represented the Meiji era at the time, as a conservative force, did not have such a good fate. In the Boshin War, which broke out during the Meiji Restoration, the Aizu Domain, which was the representative of the conservative forces, was defeated.
Not to mention the heavy casualties among them, even the feudal lord and the adopted son of the feudal lord were all under house arrest. If it weren't for Matsudaira Yoho, the lord of the Aizu Domain at the time, he would have kept a letter about Emperor Komei's Imperial Intention Aizu Domain, Prince Nakagawanomiya Asahhiko and the Satsuma Domain, and the exclusion of the ministers of the Sanjo Minoru faction.
Perhaps the Matsudaira family of the Aizu Domain has already died. And even if he was not exterminated, Matsudaira was treated differently. The government allowed Rongbo's son-in-law, Rongda, to continue to retain his name, but he was no longer allowed to live in Wakamatsu Castle.
In addition, the old territory of Inawashiro Castle had been burned down a year ago, so the feudal lords had no choice but to move to the Mutsu Province Dounan Domain with their nine-month-old Rongda to settle down.
The Aizu clan lost 3,000 people killed in that civil war, including members of the underage White Tigers, and many others committed suicide en masse.
The Meiji government forces, which were controlled by the Nagasu and Satsuma domains, hated these people deeply. They were not even allowed to bury the bodies of the losers, they had to let them rot until December, but they were still not allowed to write inscriptions.
The Aizu Domain was also relocated to the Dounan Domain. The Aizu people were called "Hui thieves", and their place of residence was called "a mountain north of the Shirakawa and a hundred buns" - that is, a worthless and backward land.
After the Meiji Restoration, the political situation in Japan was long controlled by people from the south such as the Choshu Domain and the Satsuma Domain, and the Aizu Domain, as a conservative faction during the Restoration, was always politically and economically suppressed.
For example: Although Aizu Wakamatsu is a traffic hub. However, even in later generations, there was still no Shinkansen or any plan to build it, and it is clear that the Japanese government is deliberately trying to ignore it.
At the same time, for politicians from the Aizu clan or people in the military. Whether it's a job or a promotion. will be excluded either explicitly or implicitly. As a result of these southern feudal practices, the Aizu Domain's economy lagged behind that of the surrounding areas.
It is precisely because of this that the residents of the Aizu Domain, from the residents to the Matsudaira family, gritted their teeth with hatred for the Nagasu Domain, Satsuma Domain, and other clans. If it was a stable period in Japan, they would not have any chance of rising again.
However, when the Wehrmacht troops invaded Japan and Hirohito chose to surrender unconditionally, the Matsudaira and Tokugawa families of the Aizu clan saw hope again.
"I already know what you're here for. But to enter our sight, these are not enough......," Zhang Xueliang said with a smile: "The Changzhou Domain and the Satsuma Domain are now toothless dogs. If you can't even clean this up, then there won't be anything to talk about between us. β
Zhang Xueliang played with the pencil on the table and said, "Changzhou and Satsuma." I know you've been unhappy with them. I will also allow you to retaliate against them......"
"I won't give it to you, I'm sure you can rush enough to do this. I'm going to give you some help, for example: weapons, police. β
Zhang Xueliang said, threw the pen on the table and said, "The Maori family of the Changzhou Domain, the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain." There's no need to exist anymore. Clean up what should be cleaned up. β
"We don't want to cause any waves. And this is how you prove that you are worth cultivating......"
Tokugawa and Matsudaira glanced at each other, and they both saw the heat in each other's eyes. Since the Boshin War, the two families have only kept their nominal titles.
But in fact, the status has plummeted, and those officials and soldiers from the Changzhou Domain and the Satsuma Domain even ridicule their lonely families from time to time.
All of this made the two families angry. But because of the situation before, they had nothing to do. At that time, Japan's political and military circles were controlled by the Nagasu and Satsuma domains.
The slightest change may lead to the death of two families. Thereupon. They can only train some samurai in the background to protect themselves. Fortunately, the two families have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years.
That's what makes these two. He was able to use his wealth to train some people to protect themselves.
"Hay! I understand that the Tokugawa family and the Matsudaira family will do their best to do it! But seeing that the Tokugawa family was extremely excited to bow deeply to Zhang Xueliang, and said: "In the future, I will not let the general down!" β
"That's good, you need to know that if I'm disappointed it means you've lost your value. We won't have the possibility of dealing with each other in the future......" Zhang Xueliang still smiled and said to the two: "You still have seven days, and in seven days, our commander-in-chief will come to Japan to sign the instrument of surrender accepting Hirohito's unconditional surrender." β
"Until then, if you're doing well. Then I would advise the Commander-in-Chief to restore you to the position you once were. As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Zhang Xueliang's eyes.
"As for the people of the Nagasu Domain and Satsuma, they should have disappeared with history. Anyway, if they live, they won't have any value. At least in our opinion, they don't have any value......"
After saying what should be said, Zhang Xueliang waved his hand. Tokugawa and Matsudaira left the place in understanding. Outside the door, Zhang Xueliang's adjutant took them to receive the weapons promised to them.
These weapons were not very good weapons, they were a bunch of Type 38 rifles and some southern pistols captured from the Japanese army. Not even a light machine gun, but that was enough to make Tokugawa and Matsudaira grateful.
When the Japanese army disarmed, there were not many weapons in the hands of the Japanese people. More people who have it are afraid to take it out and use it. The Wehrmacht had occupied all of Japan, and the slightest disturbance could have caused them to react aggressively.
The consequence of this reaction is that those who dare to use firearms and the forces behind them will be uprooted. For example, Toyama Mitsuru, who had an excellent relationship with the Japanese military before.
He was one of the few people who could get a lot of guns from the military, but he never used them. Only a part of the rifles and pistols were left for self-defense, and the rest were handed over to the Wehrmacht.
And the Tokugawa family and the Matsudaira family were once rebellious. It must have been heavily guarded. Not to mention firearms, even a few more katanas will attract the attention of the authorities.
As a result, many times, the Tokugawa and Matsudaira families could only train with bamboo knives. The knives and knives were put away. It will only be issued when it is time for action.
The Maori family of the Cheung Chau Domain, a group of retired or reserve officers in the former Japanese army, the generals waited worriedly for the head of the Maori family to speak. In recent times, even a fool can see that the Wehrmacht is cleaning up the power of the old Nagasu and Satsuma domains in Japan.
As the main force in the Japanese army, the Changzhou lord bore the brunt. A large number of officers and soldiers on active duty were arrested. Almost all industries involved in Cheung Chau valves have been seized or cracked down.
"What do you say?! What can I say about this situation?! The current head of the Maori family, Maori Motomichi, had a gloomy face and shouted at the generals below.
It's no wonder that Maori Yuandao was furious. Because he also escaped from death. As a Maori family, it is naturally impossible to leave the battlefield.
Therefore, very early on, Mori Motomichi was the Japanese Army Artillery Major. Merely. During the war in China, the Maori family saw the situation unfavorable, so his father, Maori Motoshao, transferred him back to China.
Now, Mori Motosho has passed away. The master of the family is the young master.
"Your Excellency. Now the situation is very critical! His Majesty chose to surrender. And the Tiger and his army don't seem to have any intention of letting us go. If you don't develop a coping strategy. It is likely that the capsulation of the Cheung Chau valve will be caused......"
"Red Okanoro!! Am I an idiot?! Don't I know that?! But the main battle and the people who fought were almost all our Changzhou lords, how do you tell me to ask the Wehrmacht to surrender?! β
Maori Yuandao suddenly became furious, where did you bastards leave me, the head of the family, when you were in high spirits?! Now that you're unlucky, you're coming to me to call the shots.
I'm a fart master! Maori Yuandao was scolding in his heart, where can he control this matter so far? ! Look at what has happened lately, the former Japanese officers or radicals who are plotting a counterattack behind their backs.
Almost all of them were wiped out, and there were more than 300 headless murders in the Cheung Chau Domain alone. Some of the ronin killed people in the streets. Or rush into the house and kill the door.
And those police and military who are in charge of law and order will always disappear at this time. Several people were caught afterwards. There is only one person who is in the law. It was not a death penalty, it was just a sentence of hard labor. Isn't that clear enough?!
The Wehrmacht is to use the hands of these people to completely wipe out all the original valve families, including the Changzhou Domain. Especially the family that once had great influence in Japan's military and political circles.
"Big deal, let's fight with them to the end!!" A vassal stood up and said indignantly. And Maori Motomichi looked at him with eyes like looking at an idiot.
The same was true of the rest of the feudal lords. The current Wehrmacht, don't say that you go up alone to find death. Even if all the former Japanese troops were gathered, it was just that more people were sent to death. If you let the Wehrmacht suffer casualties, then what awaits you is death.
At this point, Hirohito has seen it very clearly. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to abandon all his army and royalists, and would have chosen to surrender. Fools know that there is no point in fighting like this.
"I'm not sure about anything else, but Toyama Mitsuru and the others must have made a choice and received the support ......of the Wehrmacht," Shuri Yasuhara, who is a former army infantryman, looked at everyone and said.
"Obviously, this General Zhang is very wary of us. If the Tokugawa family and the Matsudaira family ask General Zhang for their support at this time......"
Yasuhara Shuri made everyone shudder, the Matsudaira family, the Tokugawa family and the Maori family are not the same hatred! The Maori clan defeated them that year, and even violently corpsed the soldiers of the Matsudaira clan at that time.
Subsequently, the Mori family and the Chosu clan, fearing reprisals, spared no effort to promote all policies that could suppress the Matsudaira clan, and if the emperor did not allow it, even the Chosu clan wanted to completely disappear the Matsudaira clan.
"So...... What should we do?! "The feudal priest who was clamoring to die is now starting to be stupid. After all, it's one thing to shout, but it's another thing to actually face it......
Wang Yajiao had a little headache at this time, and he had thought of many ways to deal with this person in front of him. But I never found a suitable one. But this person had to deal with it.
Originally, the simplest and most brutal way was to let him die. But apparently, the bigwigs of the General Staff still think that this person still has a certain value.
Therefore, the order withdrawn from the General Staff was for him to see if there was any possibility of cooperation with the Wehrmacht.
"Mr. Ishihara, this is about the first time we've met. But for you, I've been known for a long time. Wang Yajiao tried his best to keep his tone calm and said to the man in front of him.
That's right, this is the former henchman of the idle palace Zairen and the general in the Japanese military department - Ishihara Waner!
"This is indeed our first meeting, but I have also known you for a long time......" Ishihara was very haggard, and his spirit had become very poor during this period of detention.
Japan surrendered, and most of the people in the military headquarters were imprisoned awaiting trial. Some of the officers who had entered the Chinese battlefield and participated in the massacres and rapes were approved to be executed early.
Ishihara knows that the reason why he has not been done so far. The biggest reason is because he has not commanded troops to do this in China, as for what he did in Russia. The Chinese do not seem to intend to trouble him because of this. (To be continued......)
