The Emperor's Palace, Tokyo.

The Emperor, dressed in his regular clothes, was receiving two important members of the military department. Since the outbreak of World War II, the traditional military headquarters has been replaced by a further wartime military headquarters. Seishiro Itagaki Chief of the General Staff of the Military Department and Chief of Operations of the Military Department were sitting at the bottom of the table, and although they did not dare to stare at the Emperor with their eyes fixed on him, they glanced at His Majesty the Emperor from time to time who had closed his eyes and was deep in thought.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, our negotiating team has begun formal negotiations with the Sino-German Joint Negotiating Mission in Sinuiju. The Chinese attitude was very tough, and the Germans changed their strength and hoped that the incident in the Far East would be properly resolved. ”

Seishiro Itagaki bowed his head slightly and reported.

"The proposal of the Sino-German negotiating team is to form a joint investigation team between China and Germany to investigate the members of the German [***] official group involved in the case in Sinuiju." Ishihara added.

The 44-year-old emperor showed a sneer, closed his eyes and said, "I heard that His Excellency Hitler ordered the arrest of a number of German intelligence officers in Berlin, and asked the Gestapo to search for our intelligence officers throughout Germany, and he is still angry in the base camp. ”

"Your Majesty. Hitler was in a hurry. Since he came to power, no country has ever been able to bring him such a disgrace, but he can't help it. Ishihara also smiled, but there was a bit of hideousness in his smile.

"The situation is such that the empire is not Italy, let alone Poland. Even their most advanced missiles can only bully the poor British. Seishiro Itagaki shook his head, somewhat dismissive of Hitler's clamour.

The emperor opened his eyes and picked up the document on the small table that Itagaki and the others had brought with him, which contained the contents of the secret talks between the United States and the Soviet Union.

"The Americans and the Soviets, by this time, were not yet willing to make big concessions. Hmph, if it weren't for the fortunes of the empire, it would definitely take the entire Far East. ”

When Hirohito saw the many clauses on the document that had been denied by the United States and the Soviet Union, he couldn't help but be angry, and slapped the small table lightly.

Seeing this, Ishihara and the others naturally followed Hirohito's temper to speak, and Ishihara said angrily with the same feeling, "Among the conditions proposed by the empire this time, the most important ones have been denied or avoided, which is really infuriating.

For example, when we proposed that the Soviet Union must cede the entire Far East to us as a base for the advance of the war against China, as a 'zone of co-management', Stalin disagreed. It was only agreed that the Far Eastern area south of the Komsomolsk defense line would be designated as a 'temporary area of American administration'. It's really too deceitful, and now this large area has been taken at a great cost in the occupation of our Great Empire.

For another example, we asked the United States to urgently provide 10 divisions of tanks and armored vehicles and 2,000 planes, especially large bombers, before the outbreak of war between China and China. With the powerful military industrial manufacturing capacity of the Americans at full speed, it will not even take half a month to produce 10 divisions of tanks and armored vehicles, and 2,000 aircraft can be manufactured in half a month at most.

Other long-term aid plans have refused to respond positively, and instead require us to leave the Axis countries first, which is a complete lack of sincerity. ”

Breaking away from the Axis powers and re-selecting the Allies was the third major political decision after attacking China and joining the Axis powers.

On the one hand, the stalemate in the Far East battlefield was an inducement, but the fundamental reason was that he gradually found that he felt a great anger from top to bottom when he resisted the multimillion-level coalition forces of the United States and the Soviet Union, and paid millions of casualties, but did not get the corresponding land.

Strictly speaking, this can be attributed to the fact that the combat effectiveness of the Yue army is not enough, not that it is poor, but that it has encountered all-round resistance from the United States and the Soviet Union, and for a time, it is difficult to invest more troops in the Far Eastern battlefield, which is not very broad, and this kind of meat grinder-style loss makes the dreams that I have in my sleep are nightmares, for fear that when I get up the next day, I will receive the bad news that a certain division and regiment have been completely annihilated.

On the other hand, when the Chinese joined hands to contain the main force of the seven or eight million Soviet troops, they sent millions of troops to drive straight in, not only seizing parts of Central Asia, but even Siberia and the Far East with large tracts of land falling into their hands. Although there are China's geographical advantages in it, compared with the big losses and small gains of the book, it can infuriate people.

This can be said to be a conspiracy of the Chinese, after all, the Chinese's mechanized army did not attack the Soviet battlefield in the Far East, but instead packed a lot of Soviet land into its own pocket on the grounds that "many places are tight, and cutting and encircling the Soviet Union is in line with the strategic purpose."

In fact, if China does not attack Siberia, Central Asia, and the territory of the Soviet Union on the left side of the Far Eastern theater, it will indeed be difficult for the Soviet Union to break its bones, and it will still have a strong war potential, and the east-west echo will be smooth.

But this benefit was taken by the Chinese, and Ben was extremely dissatisfied from top to bottom. On the one hand, there are continuous good news, and on the other hand, the number of casualties is accumulating day by day.

On the other hand, China is becoming stronger, and by breaking away from the Axis powers and joining the Allies, it will be able to use the power of the Allies to the greatest extent to balance the Chinese.

China may be really strong, this Yue himself admits, but he also believes that once the Soviet Union is freed from Yueben, Yue Soviet forces plus American weapons and equipment, although the Chinese currently occupy a large area of Soviet territory, will face a super-large-scale counteroffensive.

In his view, this is an excellent opportunity, the best opportunity to attack China, or even destroy China.

In the strategic planning of the high-level government, the negotiations with China and Germany are only for the Americans and the allies to see, and how to obtain greater benefits from the United States and the Soviet Union, especially from the United States, a world-class arms king, is of great concern to the United States.

After all, the arms output of the Americans in a month is the output of the Americans in half a year or even a year. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not eating big households is not the tricky style of devils.

"Fight again, if the De [***] official corps still refuses to admit the conspiracy command and deliberately expands the casualties of the emperor [***], then send them to Sinuiju.

On the side of the United States and the Soviet Union, the pace of negotiations must be quickened, and the Sino-German negotiating team has provided us with a very good opportunity to help us put forward conditions to the allies.

Also, what kind of preparations does the military have? ”

Hirohito is not a good strategist, but he is certainly a good careerist, and at least knows how to get the most out of his life in a complex situation, even if it means taking a risk. This is also the reason why after he succeeded to the throne, he repeatedly agreed with the adventurism of the military department for the sake of the so-called national fortunes.

Seishiro Itagaki was the chief of the general staff of the military department, and he was extremely powerful, and the emperor's question was quickly answered, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the military department has ordered the Far Eastern Theater to organize a large-scale air bombardment and land offensive. ”

"Yo Xi, that's exactly how it should be."

Ishihara was the chief of operations, and he was very much in favor of the plan of the military offensive.

A large-scale offensive at a critical moment not only allowed China and Germany to see a little hope and not give up negotiations, but also allowed the United States and the Soviet Union to see the right to speak, and counted them in one fell swoop.

"Itagaki-kun, Ishihara-kun, I have always had a high trust in the two of you, and it was said that the war was not smooth in the middle of the year, and this time, I hope you can do a good job of being at the helm." The Emperor stood up and said solemnly.

"The Imperial Martial Arts has been in good luck for a long time!" The two of them stood up, bowing their heads and standing solemnly.

…… Tokyo, a remote street on the outskirts of the city.

On the third floor of a private house, the door is closed, and a man is sitting near the window, but the whole person is blocked by the window.

The man was about 30 years old, with an ordinary face, no attractiveness, and the youth clothes he wore were the favorite clothes of the young people on the street. If such a man is put on the street, he must be the type who is nowhere to be found in the vast sea of people, he is too ordinary, and even the eyes that are inadvertently revealed are extremely ordinary.

On the two-foot table beside him, a cloth covered a long object.

While drinking tea, the man reached into his arms, took out an old-fashioned pocket watch with a lid, and opened it with a snap, there was an iron mezzanine on the inside of the pocket watch, and after dialing it, he could see that behind the mezzanine was a one-inch photograph.

The photo shows an old man with half-white hair, and the photo is on both sides, the front is a photo of an old man in a military uniform, and the reverse is a photo of an old man in a suit.

"Zizi ......"

At this time, there was a sizzling electromagnetic sound from the earbud-type headphones worn by the man, which was that someone had activated the call.

"The rabbit is coming out of the nest, the rat is ready, and the farmer is ready to catch the rabbit at any time."

"The farmer understands."

After the man finished speaking, he turned off the call, and then quickly picked up the covered thing from the table, and lifted the cloth, revealing a murderous sniper rifle.

Judging from the shape of the gun, it is a typical American-made sniper rifle, from the gun to the sniper scope, and even the bullet, it is all American-made.

After a quick inspection of the sniper rifle, the man crouched down again and looked at the device behind him, which was a time bomb ready to be activated at any time.

"Farmer ready!"

"Wait for the opportunistic action!"

The man turned sideways slightly, and his gaze fell back to the diagonal opposite side of the street, but it was a traditional courtyard, in front of the courtyard, there were two rows of soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, and even several armored vehicles. There were also three ugly black cars parked at the door.

The devil soldiers are murderous one by one, the bayonets are cold and murderous, and the half of the street where the courtyard is located is equivalent to martial law.

In the courtyard, it was a different scene at this time.

Several civilian officers stood in the courtyard, and in the main room, with the door closed, two officers were talking to an old German man with gray hair. The two talked a lot, but the old German man opposite didn't say a word.

"Mr. Model, as long as you cooperate with us, you will be our supreme guest. We can send you to settle in any country, we can give you millions of dollars in sponsorship, and the intelligence agents of the Reich can even rescue your wife and son from Germany. ”

Hasegawa Osa, dressed in military uniform, rubbed a pair of big palms and looked at Marshal Moder who was sitting on the opposite side with a smirk.

"Marshal Modher, we can inform you of the good news that the Sino-German negotiating team has arrived in Sinuiju and will hold negotiations with us. You should know the temper of Hitler's Führer, and I think that even if the negotiations were successful, you would return to Germany and end up ...... Of course, if the negotiations fail, you can't go back to Germany......"

Araki Shaosa, who was on the side, said in a gloomy tone.

Obviously, if Moder returned to Germany, he would almost certainly be arrested, even tried and shot. In the face of his own planting, no matter what the truth is, as the supreme German military commander, Moder has an unshirkable responsibility.

Of course, if the negotiations fail and he cannot return to Germany, Moder will be judged by the Lord, and the outcome will be equally tragic.

After the two finished speaking, they waited quietly, what should have been said just now had already been said a lot, and this old man in his fifties just refused to speak.

Outside the window, the civilian officer was already looking at his watch, and it seemed that the time was almost up.

In the face of such a battle, Marshal Moder still did not speak.

"Mr. Model, I have already mentioned a point, and perhaps you did not hear it clearly. So far, several of your officers have admitted to receiving orders from you to send the soldiers of the Great Empire to the wrong battlefield. They believe that the joint command, especially you, bear very great responsibility for the huge losses on the battlefield in the Far East at present.

You have three minutes left. ”

Hasegawa finally raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said in a dark voice, already impatient in his tone.

Moder suddenly raised his head, and a burst of light burst out from his originally gray eyes, and the two Hasegawa who were watching secretly frowned, only to hear him say:

"I owe allegiance only to Germany, and no one can impose a conspiracy on me."

At this moment, Hasegawa and Araki were both slightly stunned.

Hasegawa stood up, bowed, and then pushed the door open.

Araki waved his hand and scolded, "Take it away!" ”

The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time swarmed in and escorted Moder out of the house, and before going out, Moder adjusted his military uniform.

Before stepping through the gate, Marshal Moder seemed to feel something, and just raised his head, and suddenly changed.

"Boom!!"

An earth-shattering explosion came from a sushi restaurant more than 100 meters away, and the violent explosion affected two or three shops next door to the sushi restaurant, and there were splashes of glass and slag everywhere.

However, at this moment, when the soldiers were in a hurry, no one noticed that on the third floor of the private house more than 200 meters away, the window had been pushed open, and the barrel of a Sensen gun had been exposed.

There was hardly any hesitation.

Aim!!

Hook the trigger!!

"Bang!!"

A muffled gunshot sounded, harsh if usual, but not so conspicuous in the aftermath of the distant explosion.

At the moment of the gunshot, Marshal Model, who was standing at the door and was tightly grasped by the two soldiers, disappeared in an instant as if he were playing a trick.

The two devil soldiers were shocked inexplicably, and in an instant, they felt that their faces were covered by the splattered flesh and blood, and then looked at the Model who was originally grabbing, and there was already a head missing...... "Baga!!^^&^&......"

The army was in chaos, and they didn't expect to be sniped, so they all lay down on the spot, looking for cover, while Hasegawa and Araki were pulled by several guards, trying to pull into the car and start leaving.

At the same time, several armored vehicles of the Chinese army also started to start, and they were about to start looking for the sneak attackers.

"Whew...... Whew......"

At this moment, from different directions, a number of objects dragging long tails flew in, and Hasegawa had just been stuffed into the car and sat down, when he saw the flying objects, and in an instant, his liver and gall were broken.

"Yaga ......"

The next moment, a violent explosion flooded the army in front of the courtyard, and even the armored vehicles were affected by the explosion, and the two armored vehicles were even directly hit by rockets.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

With a violent explosion, Hasegawa Osa and Araki Shosa were blown into the sky immediately, and the car was blown to pieces.

…… Hanjing, China!

"Report!"

Luo Feng, director of the intelligence department, walked quickly into Zhang Shusheng's office with a copy of the latest information.

"Chairman, I just received the news that I used American weapons to launch a surprise attack on the outskirts of Tokyo, outside the courtyard of Model, where the army was under house arrest. Moder was killed by snipers on the spot, and Hasegawa and Araki, the officers of the Shaozhuang faction in charge of the operation, were killed on the spot.

The results of the battle have been confirmed, and both the military and the Emperor's Palace have received news of the attack on Moder. A large-scale manhunt is currently underway. ”

Luo Feng quickly finished speaking, and then handed over the information he received to Zhang Shusheng.

"Well done!"

Zhang Shusheng read the document roughly, and then signed it.

Asking the action team to use American weapons was Zhang Shusheng's personal request, and at this time, even the most clumsy plantings were enough to disturb people's sight, and the Americans did have far greater reasons to do so than China.

After talking for a few words, after Zhang Shusheng instructed Luo Feng to focus on the Far East and Northeast regions in the future, Luo Feng retreated.

From time to time, Mao Yun walked into the office first.

"Yun Xian, an emergency meeting of the base camp will be held in an hour, you can inform me."

"Yes, Chairman."

The pen in Zhang Shusheng's hand subconsciously wrote the words Northeast and Far East on the paper.

He knew that next, he would really defect from the Axis and join the Allies. Then, the time left for the two sides to prepare should not exceed three months at most, that is, within three months, China should be ready for a full-scale war with the Soviet Union in the Far East.

And during these three months, nearly 2 million Wehrmacht troops in the north-eastern border region and the Far East had to withstand any movement from any enemy.

However, China has been prepared for a long time, otherwise it would have been a complete waste to mobilize millions of Wehrmacht troops in most of the sparsely armed Soviet Union. Today, China's millions of troops are truly useful.

In the blink of an eye, the war between China and China, which had been interrupted for 10 years, will be rekindled.
