42. Negotiation

"Boom" The planes hovering in the sky continued to drop bombs, and Osaka, the second largest city in the city, trembled in the sound of violent explosions.

With the recovery of Korea by the Chinese side, a few days later, the Chinese air force began to bomb and strike on important cities and military installations in the DPRK, and the so-called scattered sabotage raids by the remnants of the DPRK did not achieve their goal, and the Chinese side sent "mountain warfare experts" to deal heavy blows to the remnants of the DPRK in just two days, and had to stay away from the railway communication line, but even so, they were still constantly surrounded and intercepted by the superior forces of the Chinese side, and the casualties were mixed.

The bomb fell, and the explosion rose into a huge fireball, countless sparks shot out in all directions, and in an instant, a large area was on fire, and the fire was out of control by the wind. The bombs used to bomb cities are completely different from the bombs used to bomb hundreds of millions of military facilities on the battlefield, and the buildings are mostly paper and wood structures, and there are unscrupulous traversers of Wu enemy, so the bombing is naturally incendiary bombs, although the effect of this hastily made incendiary bombs is not so perfect, but the power of destroying the city is far more powerful than ordinary aerial bombs.

A large number of businessmen and reporters from various countries stood on the high-rise buildings in the area where foreign businessmen gathered, looking at this city in flames and gunsmoke. The foreigners were full of fear when they looked at the people who were wailing and running away, and there were also a large number of people who were struggling in the fire.

"The main bombing target of the Chinese is the industrial area of Yueben, and they want to destroy the industry of Yueben, that is, destroy the war potential of Yueben."

"The Chinese control the sky, their planes are too advanced, and I can't deal with them." The outcome of the war is already obvious, if Yue himself has not been able to find a way to deal with the Chinese planes, then even if the Chinese do not land in Yueben, they can use aircraft bombing to force Yueben to surrender, otherwise Yueben will be bombed into primitive society. ”

"It is said that the first round of bombing by the Chinese was to destroy the Hachiman Iron Works in Yomoto, followed by the shipyards, naval bases, and docks."

Journalists and businessmen from all over the world were talking, constantly looking up at the H-1 Thunderbolt bomber in the sky, as if they were seeing death.

Tokyo is still in shambles, after the earthquake because the war did not stop, transport ships were attacked by submarines, disaster relief materials could not be effectively delivered, countless refugees slept on the streets like beggars, and the wounded were constantly wailing.

There was a roar in the Cabinet headquarters in Tokyo.

"Gentlemen, have you seen it? Can't hesitate any longer. Every minute of delay, the empire's losses are greater, and every hour or two, a city in the empire is destroyed, and if it continues, the empire will soon be in ruins. The old face of the Duke of Xiyuan Temple turned red with excitement.

The corners of Togo Heihachiro's mouth were full of bitterness, China's strike force on the local area of Yuben was far beyond his imagination, and the other side did not need to cross the sea to fight, and could directly use aircraft to destroy one city after another, and almost all important shipyards in Yumoto were violently bombed without exception. Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he still had to let go: "Please ask the prime minister to decide." "It seems to put the problem on the Prime Minister, but everyone understands that he has agreed.

The speed of the Chinese attack was far beyond everyone's imagination, three days ago the Mariana Islands fell, and in the morning came news that the Caroline Islands had fallen.

Yasuya Uchida shook his head vigorously and said, "I'm not the prime minister, I'm just acting." Faced with this situation, he really didn't dare to take on this heavy responsibility, because he knew too well that it would be a catastrophe and would have to be left for 10,000 years.

However, the top cabinet officials could only look at the pale Uchida Yasuya with pity, and no one was willing to take this hot potato. At this moment, everyone knows that it is impossible to win the war, and whoever becomes the prime minister will have to bear the blame. Judging from the current occupation, China will almost completely recover the benefits it has gained since the Meiji Restoration, including the recovery of the Ryukyus and Korea, and even oppress and seize the Mariana Islands and Caroline Islands obtained by the World War, and will be suppressed under China's silver power for a considerable period of time in the future.

Everyone at the top of the cabinet can't imagine what the consequences will be for Yuben after the defeat, and in the face of an awakened behemoth, will Yuben still have a chance to turn over? The outlook is very bleak.

The prince of Xiyuan Temple said in a deep voice: "Uchida-kun, now is the time when someone must take responsibility. At present, the defeat of the empire is irreversible, but the empire is not without a chance to turn over. The empire has been operating painstakingly in China for many years, and it is entirely possible to encourage the people of China to take the opportunity of this victory over the empire to stir up national sentiment, force the government of Nanjing to abolish the unequal treaties, promote the bitterness between China and the foreign powers, detonate the suppression of China by the entire Western world, and repeat the history of the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance. Only with the collapse of China will the empire have a chance to re-emerge. ”

Someone immediately said: "Xiyuan Sijun, don't take the Chinese people and the great powers as fools, the Chinese will not easily provoke the great powers, and the European and American powers have experienced a world war, and their war-weariness is high, and they will not easily start a war." ”

Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple sneered: "Everyone understands this. But conflicts of interest are inevitable, we just need to add fuel to them at the right time, once is not enough twice, two times is not enough to continue, there will always be an outbreak. Moreover, the great powers would not want to see China dominate in East Asia, and it was inevitable that the empire would be needed to contain China, and the empire would undoubtedly be supported by the great powers again. This helped the empire to recover quickly, and it took time for the empire to recover, as well as to trigger conflicts and wars between China and the Great Powers. With the current state of the empire, if the fighting power is insufficient, then there is only fighting wit. ”

On September 18, 1923, the Cabinet finally made a decision after deliberation and reported it to Emperor Taisho.

"Is there really no hope?" Hirohito, the regent of the city, asked Yasuya Uchida quietly.

Yasuya Uchida shook his head with a gloomy face, unable to say a word, as the prime minister who was forced to take office, in fact, he did not want to admit defeat the last thing, but there was no room for recovery, the Chinese side behaved extremely tough in the mediation between Britain, France and the United States, and said that it would never negotiate peace without admitting defeat.

At that time, Emperor Moto issued an edict: "It is not a crime of war, and in order to save the vast number of earthquake victims, the empire is no longer able to continue the war."

------------

He finally admitted defeat in order to negotiate peace, and under the traction of Britain, France, and the United States, negotiations began in Shanghai.

Li Bufan's study in the Provisional Presidential Palace in Nanjing.

Wu Di said with some unhappiness: "What's going on with this little one? It's only been a few clicks and it's softened. I remember that during World War II, it was blown to slag, and it was clamoring for the whole country to be shattered, if it wasn't for the atomic bomb that exploded so many times, I don't know when it would have been delayed. There's no reason why the gap is so big? "As a traverser, he is really very dissatisfied with reading a lot of military literature, you must know that almost all of the military texts are extremely hard, but the gap between reality and military literature is too big, right?

Li Bufan rolled his eyes and said: "Our 300mm rocket artillery is simply the destroyer of the battlefield, you should be comparable to ordinary army artillery?" That's the equivalent of a 300-millimeter cannon bombardment. Didn't you say that the army's largest caliber artillery on the battlefields of World War II did not exceed 155 mm? Even if there were larger caliber guns, it would be in the single digits. Although there were 203 mm howitzers in the later period, the number was also very small, can it be compared with 300 mm guns? A salvo is equivalent to the shell strike of hundreds of 300-mm cannons, which is more powerful than the salvo of the main guns of any fleet in the world. ”

Wu Di thought for a while and said, "It seems to be right." I remember that in history, it seems that in the 21st century, our country's 300-mm rocket artillery can kill a brigade of troops with only a few salvos. Hey, it's cheaper, and I wanted to beat them back to the primitive society. Or, let's turn around again and blow him up for ten days and half a month? ”

Li Bufan smiled bitterly: "I would like to, but the great powers are already impatient." Now that the great powers have blockaded us, it is much more difficult to import parts and assemble equipment, and the price is much more expensive. At present, we really don't have enough strength to compete with the powers, so bear with us. Didn't you say that I started the 918 incident in history? Today, I said that Ben admitted defeat and began negotiations based on defeat, which I think is very good. ”

Wu Di shook his head and said, "No matter what, I think Xiao Yue has a conspiracy. I think we have to drag out the negotiations, and we have to ask for billions of dollars on the issue of war reparations. By the way, Boss, how much do you want from them? "Pick up your teacup and drink water.

Li Bufan said lightly: "Open your mouth to 10 billion." ”

"Poof" Wu Di just drank the water in his mouth and squirted out at once, looked at Li Bufan in a daze, and then gave a thumbs up, "The boss is the boss, it's amazing." He felt that his traverser was too small, look at how domineering the ancient people were. Ten billion yuan, you must know that China's annual fiscal revenue is almost five or six billion, and it is necessary to get more than 10 billion teenagers who do not eat or drink? How much hatred does this have to be able to open his mouth like this.

"1. 10 Billion Ocean !!" Not only the dog who came to negotiate, but also the representatives of Britain, France and the United States, Smith, Hollande and Conger, were dumbfounded.

Tang Shaoyi was also weak-hearted, Li Bufan resolutely asked him to ask for 10 billion, and his surprise at that time was not lower than these people, you must know that Germany was defeated, and the reparations demanded by the great powers were only more than 5 billion gold marks, which was still repaid in decades. However, he stubbornly continued to inform Li Bufan's explanation, "The president said that half of the book must be delivered directly, and the remaining half must be paid off year by year. ”

The representative of the United States, Conger, couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency, are you sure you didn't say one more zero?" ”

Tang Shaoyi said: "Of course not." The president said that he was originally poor and white, but he could plunder China's wealth, and the property lost more than $30 billion in this earthquake alone shows how amazing the wealth he plundered in China is."
