August was stunned, they didn't think about it at all at first. When they learned that Hitler had begun to develop nuclear weapons, their first reaction was to stop it.

Otherwise, once Hitler developed nuclear weapons, it would mean that the war would enter a different situation. The damage of nuclear weapons, the royal family and the Junkers have found someone to do a special assessment.

The results are striking. Once a nuclear bomb is detonated in an area, it will cause a variety of subsequent damage. Countless known and unknown levels of radiation would render an entire bombed area, from land to people, unviable.

Germany simply cannot afford such a price. And if Hitler used a nuclear bomb, it would mean that the United States would also use this weapon of terror.

The mutual use of nuclear bombs by both sides will lead to any fool being able to think of it. Even in the twenty-first century, no warring two sides have dared to use nuclear weapons to fight each other.

"How can you guarantee that if Hitler does not develop a nuclear bomb, the Americans will not attack you with a nuclear bomb?!" Tu Mengben asked Auguste with a smile.

The latter was silent, and when Tu Menghu mentioned it, he thought of this very serious question: who will guarantee that Germany without nuclear bombs will not be attacked by other nuclear-armed countries?!

We all know that this is a crazy killing weapon, and the easiest way to end the war is to annihilate as many enemies with the craziest weapons so that your enemies will have a nervous breakdown and surrender.

If Germany does not have nuclear weapons, then who will guarantee that the countries that possess nuclear weapons will not use their nuclear deterrence to demand a greater price from Germany after the war?!

"What's your opinion?!" After being silent for a long time, August asked Tu Mengben. And Tu Menghu smiled. Road.

"Hitler needs to develop nuclear weapons, and you have to do everything you can to help him succeed. Of course, nuclear weapons only need to appear on the battlefield once. One time is enough! ”

As he spoke, a gleam flashed in Tu Mengben's eyes. Said: "When the time comes, I will mediate negotiations between you and the allies, of course!" On the condition that I get all the research and development materials for this weapon! ”

August pondered for a while, to be honest, this matter was not up to him. After hesitating for a while, he looked up and said, "I need to contact the country, I can't make this decision myself." ”

"Yes, the telegraph is right outside. You can do this through our telegraph relay in the imperial capital. Send a message back to China to inquire. Tu Menghu smiled and nodded in agreement.

This matter is indeed not a trivial matter, and it is not at all something that Auguste himself can decide. This matter must be agreed upon by the entire Junker aristocracy.

At the same time, it can only be done through the coordination of all parties. Auguste couldn't have hastily agreed. Unless he was simply deceiving Tu Mengben.

At this time, a new round of negotiations in Fukuoka began again. Saionji looked even older when he arrived at the negotiation site, and he would visit the citizens of Fukuoka after the negotiations.

When they learned that Saionji Temple was coming, these citizens were very excited. Countless people demanded that Saionji end the war as soon as possible. It's a pity that Saionji only promised them that they would do their best. And there is not a clear answer.

"Mr. Neighbor. I've repeated this countless times. We simply cannot agree to the terms of you and the coalition government, and 'keeping the state' is a necessary condition for our surrender......"

Xiyuan Temple once again reiterated to Yang Yuting, although this reiteration had been carried out countless times. But that's all he can do now. Because the negotiating coalition government and the Defence Forces are again making their demands.

"It is not you and Japan who are negotiating with us as the victors, you should be aware of the current situation." Yang Yuting didn't speak, and Su Zongzhen spoke first.

"This condition is a necessary condition required by our commander-in-chief. And you can only choose to surrender unconditionally. Otherwise, there would be no need for us to talk about it! ”

Su Zongzhen said impatiently: "Our troops have stayed here for too long. They need to pull out now, they need to fight! Because that's what they're built for, and that's the purpose of their existence. ”

"So. Personally, I believe that if today's negotiations are inconclusive, then there is no need to continue. Su Zongzhe stood up and said coldly: "Let's use artillery to speak!" ”

"I believe that our artillery will make those who are not sober. Be sober in the flames of steel, if they weren't awake already. Then we will send them to hell and sober up! ”

After speaking, Su Zongzhen brushed his sleeves and left. Xiyuan Temple stood up helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Please wait a while...... One last time I asked Tokyo for advice, if it wasn't possible. So ......"

The rest of the words were not said by Saionji, but everyone knew what he wanted to say. Su Zongzhen saw Xiyuan Temple say this, so he sat down with a calm face.

"I'll give you half an hour if there's no answer within half an hour. Then the negotiations are terminated! Tomorrow, we, the Wehrmacht, will continue to attack! Su Zongzhen said coldly: "From now on, there will be no more negotiations." ”

Xiyuan Temple nodded, turned around and hurried away. Yang Yuting looked at the back of Xiyuan Temple, and said to Su Zongzhen beside him: "Qiliu, why are you in such a hurry now?!" Didn't you say we were going to stretch him?! ”

"Churchill and Hull have already arrived in the Soviet Union, and it is estimated that they will be in the imperial capital the day after tomorrow at the latest." Su Zongzhe had a calm face and said, "I guess they will make conditions for us to accept Japan's surrender." ”

"At this time, if we don't be tough, I estimate that Xiyuan Temple will die until their arrival. We'll be passive then......"

As he spoke, Su Zongzhen smiled and said, "Of course, the commander-in-chief also wants to be impatient." Wouldn't it be easier to blackmail them like that?! ”

"Hahaha......" Yang Yuting couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Xiyuan Temple, on the other hand, was not in such a good mood, and he hurried to the temporary telegraph center with the support of his secretary with a pale face. These telegraphers were all brought from Tokyo.

The local telegraph office in Fukuoka has long been reduced to ashes in the shelling. And these telegraph operators brought in from Tokyo. Their only task was to report to the Tokyo side on the progress of the daily negotiations.

"Calling Tokyo, the coalition government and the Wehrmacht are demanding that we surrender unconditionally. Otherwise, they will terminate the negotiations and resume the offensive tomorrow......"

Saionji looked at the stunned telegraph operator with a pale face. Trembling, he said, "Let Suzuki request to convene a meeting of the Imperial Front and ask His Majesty how to deal with ......"

"Hail!!" The telegraph operator answered, and then hurriedly sent a telegram to Tokyo. The other two began to look up the cipher and prepare the contents of the telegram.

"Let's take a break, Your Excellency! You look tired......" The secretary suggested worriedly, looking at the pale face of Saionji.

"I'm not going back, I'm just waiting here." Saionji shook his head. Refused. But he said to the three telegraphers in a deep voice: "Send the report quickly, we only have half an hour!" ”

"Hay!" The three of them answered, and then sat down in front of the telegraph and began to send out telegrams. But when one of them raised his hand, a ball of paper gently popped out. And a man leaning down outside the window. After taking the paper ball that popped out, he crawled away......

At this time, no one noticed that three men in tattered clothes were baking the fire with their heads down. They were covered in tattered kimonos and carried a large package on their backs.

A small tent was set up in the ruins of a place where refugees gathered, and men with paper balls hurried past them. A small ball of paper was discarded on the ground.

And a man covered the paper ball with his own rags. After looking around for a moment to make sure no one noticed, he picked up the paper ball. And the two men covered the man as if nothing had happened. So that he could sneak a peek at the note.

"That's the temporary telegraph office at Saionji, and the telegraph man he brought from Tokyo is there." In the small group of these people, a man about thirty years old who had just read the note said:.

Inaba, we have an inside line in the telegraph office. He had just released the news that Saionji had called Tokyo to say that the Wehrmacht no longer wanted to continue negotiations. They demanded that the empire surrender immediately and unconditionally, or else the war would continue......"

"These damn Chinese dolphins! A bunch of bastards......" Masao Inaba scolded angrily. That's right, these people are Masao Inaba and his party who hurried from Tokyo.

They were provided with the necessary operational explosives and infiltrated the camp. Less well known. Two of the five telegraph operators brought with him were allies of the radical officers.

But they did not dare to pass on these information to the radicals in Tokyo. The arrival of Masao Inaba and others gave them a window through which they could pass on the situation.

"Saionji has obviously agreed to Chinese's request, and he now needs the authorization and confirmation of the cabinet...... Kenji Hatanaka said in a deep voice: "We can't wait any longer, we must act immediately!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey...... Heaven Zhu Xiyuan Temple! He was afraid that the Wehrmacht would misunderstand, and did not bring any weapons here to negotiate! This gives us a great opportunity! ”

Masao Inaba sneered and said, "Moreover, he only brought his own secretary and five telegraph operators. Two of them are still our people! ”

"We just need to rush in and detonate the explosives! This old idiot from Xiyuan Temple will go to hell with his delusions! Masao Inaba had a frenzy in his eyes.

And the eyes of Kenji Hatanaka and the other officer beside him were the same.

"Let's do it! For the Empire!! Masao Inaba roared in a low voice, while the other two also roared: "For the Empire!!" ”

Xiyuanji didn't know that he was now only one step away from death. In fact, he should have died in 1940.

But in this time and space, he persevered until 1942. This kind of longevity brought him not happiness but greater suffering. He experienced the rise of the Meiji period and also saw the prosperity of the Taisho period.

And now, he is watching the country become populist and Nazified step by step, and finally run towards the precipice and cannot stop it. This is perhaps his greatest pain.

So much so that he still had to come to negotiate despite the fact that he was already 90 years old. In order to try to save the last bit of blood in this country.

It's a pity that the opponents he met were too strong. Even powerful makes him desperate. Without any room for struggle, he had no choice. Saionji, who closed his eyes in pain, thought to himself, maybe this end of this country is the best ending......

At this time in Tokyo, the Cabinet held an emergency meeting. The meeting was still held in the basement of the Imperial Library, inside the Imperial Palace. Hirohito arrived at the scene with a pale face.

The news from Xiyuan Temple, he had already learned through the inner servant. He simply could not accept this condition, and the guarantee of the state system was his last demand.

Why?! Why don't they even agree to this request?! I've acquiesced. Fushiminomiya and others will be removed from the imperial family and left to their disposal. Why do they have to kill them all?!

Hirohito was inexplicably saddened, he never thought that he had ever wanted to exterminate that huge country. Of course, he never thinks he's wrong.

It's all the officers and generals below who are wrong. Their incompetence, their stupidity, is the culprit that has destroyed this country. And the royal family, the royal family, and him, have no responsibility.

"Your Majesty......" Anan weiwei bowed down deeply and sobbed in a low voice. The other cabinet officials also had ugly faces.

Especially the generals of the Japanese army. They could already foresee what Hirohito would do. Do you have a choice now?! If he surrenders, Hirohito may have a chance to survive.

But if you refuse to surrender, then it is definitely a dead end! There is no doubt about that. So. They already knew how Hirohito would choose.

"We have no choice......," Hirohito said in a hoarse voice after a long silence. And after finishing speaking, he looked at the fallen Lu Xiang Anan Weidao.

"Can you handle the affairs of the army?!" Hirohito asked softly at Anan Yuji, "If necessary." I can go to the War Department in person. Personally make it clear to my troops......"

Anan shuddered a little. He knew what Hirohito's words meant. saw that his body was lowered: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this matter is almost true!" ”

"That's good...... Hirohito nodded, and said to Kantaro Suzuki, who was silent on the side, "So...... After working hard for you, the situation of the empire will be even more difficult in the future......"

"I hope that all the monarchs will work together to tide over this difficult time with the Empire......"

The latter words, no one heard what was said. Hirohito only said a few words on the scene, and then left the venue in despair under the guidance of the chamberlain.

Japan is finished, that's something everyone knows. But it was so sad and miserable. But it's something that no one can imagine. At least, the Japanese themselves did not think of it.

Anan had no idea how he had left the venue. When he came to his senses, he found that he was already in the army province. All the officers of the Ministry of War gathered and waited quietly for him to announce his decision.

"The Army has received many favors from the Emperor, and now according to the Holy Judgment, there is only one way out for the Army. That is, to support the emperor and put it into action. On the question of defending the state system, His Majesty expressed great confidence today, and at the Marshal Meeting, His Majesty reaffirmed that I have solid evidence. Therefore, at today's gathering of the three commanders and marshals, it was decided that the imperial army should unanimously obey the emperor's ruling......"

"No!! This is definitely not His Majesty's decision! This is the deception of the villains who have fallen into slander! How can this be the case at this time?! We should fight to the end, this is the greatest loyalty to the Empire!! ”

Before Anan could finish his words, the officers of the radical faction below suddenly clamoured.

"That's right! Even if it is the order of the generalissimo, when it is believed that it is a mistake, it is true loyalty to prevent the execution of the order! ”

Countless Japanese officers began to clamour, and Anan slammed his fist on the table with a gloomy face. But I listened to "Bang! Everyone suddenly stopped talking.

"This is the decision of His Majesty that I have personally heard, and this is the decision of His Majesty that I personally confirm! Do you even question me?! Could it be that you even question Your Majesty?! ”

For a while, everyone stopped squeaking. No one dared to question Anami, and they didn't dare to question Hirohito.

"Execute the order...... Anan smiled bitterly and said to the officers, "The situation of the empire in the future will be even more difficult...... Even, there will be no more Great Japanese Empire......"

At this time, Kantaro Suzuki seemed extremely busy. He first had to prepare the manpower to record the "Edict of the End of the War" requested by Hirohito, and at the same time he had to call back to the waiting Saionji Gongwang.

He knew better than anyone that the Wehrmacht had given Xiyuan Temple only half an hour. And this meeting took more than 10 minutes from the time the telegram was received and reconvened.

Time is of the essence, and once the Wehrmacht really launches an offensive, all their efforts will be in vain.

The telegram was sent urgently, and at the same time, three figures were quietly approaching the telegraph room under the guidance of a telegraph operator.

"I said Liangzi, let's just watch this old devil being blown up?!" In the distance, a few mountain guards who were watching Masao Inaba coldly and approaching Telegraph City were talking in a low voice.

"This is the order from above, let's just carry it out." The man named Liang Zi replied indifferently: "Besides, it was the Japanese devils who killed the Japanese devils." What does it have to do with us?! ”

"Where are we...... Just look at it, don't worry about it. ”

In the telegraph room, the public hope of Saionji Temple pinched the call from Tokyo. He knew how determined Hirohito had been, and he agreed to this approach.

"You bring the telegram to Yang Lingge and them, and I will go to the ...... later" Xiyuan Temple stood up with difficulty and handed the telegram to the secretary. The secretary nodded, and was about to go out.

But at this moment, Masao Inaba and others suddenly rushed in from the door of the telegraph room. Their eyes widened, and they howled like beasts at the Xiyuan Temple: "Heavenly punishment!" (To be continued......)

ps: There's only one chapter today, and I'll make it up tomorrow......
