The first target plane is the native Yokohama.

At this time, the scene was miserable, and the streets were littered with the remains of many collapsed and burned wooden houses. Most of the single-family houses that survived the fire were crooked and dilapidated. The firefighters, the gendarmerie and the ordinary Japanese people on the street are relying on manpower to fill a bucket of water with a water drawer to extinguish the fire, not far from the street pavement is sprinkled with a large area of water stains in the east and west, a few thin bicycles leaning on the wooden telephone pole, the whole wooden telephone pole was not hit in the bombing and was damaged by the fire, I have to say that it is really a miracle and luck, of course, the wire at the top of the telephone pole has been blown up or burned at this time, broken and floated down, so at this time the surrounding residential houses are completely dark.

In the fields not far away, a kilometre away, many widows were lighting fires to cook rice. As many people's homes have been burned to ashes. With nothing to lose, they had to look for everything they could use from the ruins: tin buckets, iron chests, iron stoves, clay pots, clay pots, kitchen utensils, and unclaimed small furniture and clothes. The men, who were more energetic, were organized to support the firefighting or to remove anything that could be reused from other dilapidated buildings in the distance. The women in the fields clumsily set up iron stoves or makeshift iron shelves, hung iron pots on them, and found scraps of wood that were still burning and stuffed them under them, so that they could cook the day's food. There is everything in the iron pot, rice, brown rice, sweet potatoes, mung beans, and all the ingredients that have been collected that can be eaten are put into it, forming a special hunger-filling food with a taste similar to "stew".

In order to manage the hundreds of thousands of citizens who have lost their homes and to prevent riots and riots, the Yokohama city authorities have set up temporary counseling centers in the areas where the victims are concentrated, in order to alleviate the complaints, fears, and despairs of the homeless residents after the bombing. As for the few people who are strong and have a strong ability to resist pressure, they are silently busy with the things in their hands, because it is still early January 1944, which belongs to the winter of the Japanese Kou, and the weather plummets to below zero temperature at night, which will definitely frostbite and freeze to death for those who have no protection. So this part of the strong female xìng took the young children to work together, using the wooden planks and wooden strips they had picked up, on the side of the leeward hill, to temporarily build a half-person high wooden box that could accommodate them at night. So that when the night comes, the family can climb in and get a "good" night's sleep. Of course, there are also some "smart" people who have squeezed into the few remaining concrete buildings in the city, and they hastily build simple doors and windows with wooden planks and hammers and nails to withstand the cold of the night.

Tokyo Imperial Palace, Hirohito's residence.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the continuous fixed-point strategic bombing of the Stars and Stripes Air Force did not involve Hirohito Imperial Palace, plus there are perfect fire-fighting facilities, air-raid shelters, backup generators and other equipment and facilities, so whether it is the Tokyo fire or the city's blackout, it has not caused substantial damage here. At this time, the place is still brightly lit and has a modern scene.

"Your Excellency Tojo, how are the casualties? Is the stat up? Hirohito, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, who was bowing below, and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, it is now known that a total of 8 industrial cities, including Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Hokkaido, and Nagasaki, have been attacked, and more than 2~3 military factories have been damaged. The Stars and Stripes dropped a wide range of flammable bombs across the country, burning down more than 10,000 houses, killing no less than 500,000 people and leaving nearly 60,000 homeless. ”

"What about our fighters? And what about our servicemen? Hirohito asked, mixed with anger, unease, and fear.

"In total, the Army has more than 50 aircraft deployed in the base camp, but they are spread across different areas and airfields, and the Stars and Stripes are always attacking at night, and they are escorted by large groups of fighter jets. Although our army fighters fought desperately, the enemy was outnumbered and unable to form a joint force to carry out an effective strike, and by the time the fighters from various airfields formed a large formation to block the attack, the enemy had often finished attacking and began to withdraw and return to Korea. ”

"Can't retaliate against North Korea be bombed? Or destroy their front-line airfields in one fell swoop, solving this problem once and for all? Hirohito's close confidant, Minister of the Interior Yuasakura interjected.

"In order to meet the needs of air defense, in the past six months, we have concentrated most of our forces on the production of fighter jets, and the production of bombers has basically been stopped, except for the aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft necessary for the navy. If the bombing was carried out, the number of bombers would not be enough to achieve practical results, and a large number of British pilots would be lost. Now we have pilots with more than two years of combat experience, and the total number of pilots has been reduced to half, and if we lose more, I'm afraid," explained Hideki Tojo.

"Do you want to watch the native people be killed and burned by bombs and fires little by little?" Hirohito said dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, the empire has reached the brink of life and death, in addition to the empire itself, the Yangtze River defense line of the Yanhuang Continent has been broken in many places, the Hongkou have occupied a large area on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the key cities of Shanghai and Nanjing are in a bitter battle, and other cities along the river with less strength of our army have been lost, and the empire's foundation in the Yanhuang Continent is facing a catastrophe." Prince Jaehito, who was sitting on the side, interjected.

"How's going on with Admiral Yamamoto?" When Hirohito heard this, he didn't answer, and turned to ask the chief of the Navy's Command Department, Yongye, which was the only place where there was good news at this time.

"Your Majesty, the whole of Australia has been largely occupied by us, and most of the remnants of the enemy have been wiped out by the Imperial Army, and the same is true of New Zealand. So far, we have strung South Asia, the Philippines, Yanhuang Treasure Island, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii into a pearl line of defense, and the Stars and Stripes have no place in the western Pacific. "The chief of the Navy's military command department, Yongye, is self-reliant, with outstanding combat achievements and full of confidence, and he proudly shows off.

"No matter how brilliant the navy's record is, without the base camp and local material support and warship replenishment, can you guarantee that Admiral Yamamoto and the combined fleet will never be defeated?" Hideki Tojo, who is also the Minister of War, argued dissatisfied.

"You~~" Yongye Xiu stretched out his finger and pointed at Hideki Tojo to refute.

"Okay, now the empire is on the line of life and death, let go of those sea and land disputes." Xiyuan Temple, an important minister of the Three Dynasties, suddenly spoke.

"Hey! Lord West Garden. ”

"Hey!"

"Your Excellency Xiyuan, in the current situation of the empire, do you have any good solutions?" For Saionji's strategic vision and overall view, Hirohito still agrees and praises it very much. The last time he proposed that the Guan Dong Army enter the Soviet Union north, break into the territory of the Soviet Union, and cut off Siberia, the main artery of the Soviet Union's logistics, it was a complete tactical success, and also caused a series of general offensive results in the back of Germany. However, on the one hand, the German army was trapped by the total number of troops and the long distance of logistical supply, as well as the sudden force of the Yanhuanghong Party, which made the plan to advance north to crush the Soviet Union and join the main force of the German army, otherwise the world situation faced by the Axis alliance at this time would be very different.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the old minister has an immature idea, and he only put it forward for everyone's reference." Unexpectedly, Xiyuan Temple, an important minister of the Three Dynasties, was particularly modest and uncertain this time, and said in a cursive tone: "Maybe the time has come for the empire to really need to give up the Yanhuang Continent and the mainland!" ”

"What!?" Everyone in the room was stunned by the bold idea of Saiyuan Temple, the stone breaking.

"Your Excellency Xiyuan, can you elaborate?" Hirohito asked with an ugly face.

"Hey! Your Majesty, since the beginning of Emperor Meiji, the empire has set a policy to conquer the world, and it must first conquer Yanhuang; To conquer Yanhuang, we must first conquer the national policy of Manchu and Mongolia. And for decades, it has been persistent. However, since 1937, the ups and downs of the empire in the past six years have made Lao Chen fully aware that the dream of conquering the world has gradually drifted away from the empire, and it should be said that there is no day to realize it at all. So what's next? Lao Chen believed that it was with Germany that he had achieved the post-war status of 'invincible and undefeated'. ”

"Unwinnable or undefeated?" After hearing this, Yongye Xiu, the chief of the Naval Command Department, nodded slowly with some understanding.

"Yes, 'winn, undefeated.'" Xiyuanji waved his arm vigorously and continued to explain: "Germany has been in the territory of the Soviet Union for nearly three years, and from the perspective of intelligence in all aspects, it still has the strategic initiative, but unfortunately, due to its population, soldiers, allies and other limitations, the possibility of truly defeating the Soviet Union and completely annexing the Soviet Union in the future is almost gone." Because even if they did completely annihilate the main force of the Soviet Union in Europe, the central part of the country and Siberia would still be able to spend more time and rearm and organize a multimillion-strong force. With Germany's reserves, how many troops could continue to be used in a decisive battle after taking possession of the European part of the Soviet Union? ”

"You mean Germany will be defeated?" Interior Minister Yuasakura asked questions thoughtfully.

"No, if it weren't for us, they would probably have been defeated." Xiyuan Temple shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Now we are unable to attack Soviet Siberia, and the military potential of the mainland is gradually being depleted by the bombing of the Stars and Stripes. The possibility of Germany joining us on the territory of the USSR has disappeared. In addition, everyone already knows very well the military strength of the Yanhuanghong Party, even if the Soviet Union is really defeated, but with the support of the Yanhuanghong Party, I believe that they will die without stiffening. So what will happen to Germany, which will certainly not be able to achieve a final victory in the future? What should our empire do with it? Xiyuan Temple slowly analyzed: "Lao Chen's suggestion, abandon the mainland, move the capital to Australia, in the shortest possible time, transfer our industry and workers to Australia, which is far away from the bombing bases of various countries that can be used by the Stars and Stripes, as well as the outer defense line composed of Yanhuang Treasure Island, the Philippines, New Zealand and Hawaii, plus the combined fleet to ensure the sea supremacy in the western Pacific, should be enough to ensure the security of the Empire's airspace and territorial waters in Australia." The empire needs to rebuild its strength there and be reborn. ”

"Stick to a corner?" Hideki Tojo asked.

"More than that. We must be on the defensive, and defensive. Abandon the Yanhuang Continent, recover mobile forces, and strengthen the defense forces in Nanyang, Treasure Island, New Zealand and other places. At the same time, they continued to recruit troops, build ships, and then march west to take India. ”

"India?" Hirohito was a little unable to keep up with Saionji's train of thought.

"That's right, it's India, take it, suck up the last war potential of the British Empire, where there is a well-established railway system and a relatively solid industrial base, and we take it, on the one hand, indirectly help the Germans, so that they can completely capture the British Isles and end the pressure of fighting on both sides. At the same time, he marched north from India and joined forces with Germany, which went south. In this way, it was best for the Germans to defeat the USSR, but it didn't matter if they failed. The Germans occupied Europe, we occupied India, South Asia, Australia, and Pearl Harbor, and the Stars and Stripes had no point of counteroffensive either from the Atlantic or the Pacific. And with only the half-crippled USSR and the nascent Yanhuang, I do not believe that they can defeat our joint with the Germans. As long as the empire can have these territories such as India and concentrate on development for 10 to 20 years, the national fortune will not be lost, and the future can still be expected! ”

"This~~~" Hirohito had a certain idea for a while, "Do you want to give up the native land that the first emperor has been cultivating?" I need to think about it and give me a night's time. ”

"Hey! Your Majesty, although the mainland is abandoned, we will not completely withdraw, and we must retain the necessary number of peasants and a small number of garrison troops, as long as the Stars and Stripes do not carry out large-scale landing operations, the Yanhuanghong Party does not have enough naval ships, and the mainland is still ours, and will exist in the form of a grain base. ”

"Let me think about it, let me think about it!"

All night, Hirohito sat in the royal cemetery, muttering about gains and losses. But the next morning, he was forced to bow his head by reality, and he still issued two edicts: the first order was to order the defenders south of the Yangtze River in the Yanhuang Continent to quickly abandon their positions, withdraw to the nearest port, and go to Yanhuang Treasure Island to rest; The second edict was aimed at all the people of the Japanese Koukou homeland, and immediately recruited all the ships that could be collected, and implemented the 'migration' plan!
