Chapter 461: The New Emperor Succeeds to the Throne: Japan Surrenders

Nagano Prefecture is a mountainous area more than 150 kilometers from Tokyo.

An inconspicuous ancient building, which used to be a small palace for the emperors to vacation, a summer resort in the mountains, is now heavily guarded, surrounded by open posts and secret posts, and there are many air defense positions. In the small hall of the palace, at least half of the surviving military and political dignitaries are here. The restless expressions of these people seemed to be very similar to the current situation of the book.

In addition to the death and injury of many military and political dignitaries in the attack on Tokyo, the death of Hideki Tojo not only made people feel the end of the military department, but also brought the entire huge military department to a temporary halt.

It was not until Prince Takamatsunomiya, on behalf of his elder brother, Emperor Hirohito, announced to the world that most of the people in the state of panic calmed down a little.

Only at this time, the people stopped making trouble, and the fanatical militarists made trouble again, believing that the Yamato nation could block the Chinese by breaking all the jade.

If it had been five years ago, this argument would have been very marketable, but now even Hideki Tojo has been blown up, Emperor Hirohito has been bombed and disabled for life, and he is still suffering from nuclear radiation.

In fact, it is not the people in the military department who are really fanatical, nor the people at the top, they just use the fanaticism of the people to achieve their own political goals, and now that the situation is so tense, who dares to jump out and shout, but support the suppression.

"There were [***] outbreaks everywhere until we announced our unconditional surrender to the Chinese, and the massive people's marches eased somewhat, but the fanatics began to organize marches again."

While waiting, Ishihara looked at Seishiro Itagaki on the opposite side and sighed.

One of the leaders of the two invading armies, but he was still lucky to stand here at this time, all because the two were not in Tokyo at the time of the incident.

"It needs to be resolutely suppressed, otherwise it will ......"

Itagaki Seishiro didn't say much, and the other officials and generals in the room kept silent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

He looked at the entrance of the inner room, two soldiers were guarding with guns, Prince Nobuhito of Takamatsunomiya had been in for more than ten minutes, and he didn't know what the emperor said to him.

Inside the house, Prince Takamatsu was sitting in front of Hirohito's hospital bed, looking at this brother who had died and lived in pain, and his feelings were indescribably complicated.

Compared with his brother, the forty-year-old Prince Takamatsu was not so thoroughly warlike, and even changed from a war faction to a lord-peace faction early, and was once reprimanded by Hirohito in public for proposing peace with the Chinese to 'go home and reflect', and then resigned from the navy and became an idle prince who painted and played art at home every day.

However, just as he learned that Tokyo and Sapporo, and many places in Kyoto had been bombed by nuclear bombs, the city was in ruins, and millions of people were killed and wounded, an order arrived at the same time.

The Emperor wants to see him!

When he had just met the Emperor who was seriously wounded and bedridden, and General Kanaya Nomizo, who was temporarily in charge of the military headquarters, they did not say anything to him, but gave him a telegram to announce to the whole world.

Thus, there is yesterday's surrender telegram, a surrender telegram to the whole world that has been publicly announced that 'the unconditional surrender of the Chinese Empire' has been publicly announced to the whole world.

The Chinese political axe has not even reprimanded the surrender of the political axe, and the emperor and the military department have more consciously announced their surrender, of course, there are also steps in the capital, that is, the United States and Britain and other countries have come up with the 'unilateral armistice negotiations between the allies and the Chinese empire'. It's just that, unlike the secrecy of the allies, it went one step further and surrendered directly.

Everyone knows that the Chinese still have three atomic bombs waiting to be dropped, and even the vast majority of the military and political leaders can think that the Chinese have planned to bomb the remaining cities for a long time, but they have stopped for some reason.

It's an opportunity, a chance to surrender.

In the face of the atomic bomb, unless the entire Yamato nation is shattered, then no matter how many bushido charges, bushido suicide bombing, no matter how powerful the bushido spirit is, it will not be able to stop the atomic bomb of the Chinese.

"Brother, my body ...... Not anymore. ”

Through the dim light, the emperor seemed to see Prince Takamatsu in front of him, in fact, his eye was seriously traumatized by the nuclear explosion, his left eye was completely destroyed, and his right eye was miraculously uninjured, but it was radiated, his eyesight was severely reduced, and he could only see a vague shadow, which he recognized as Prince Takamatsu.

His voice was very weak.

"Your Majesty, you will definitely get better."

Prince Takamatsu didn't say much, but bowed his head and answered, the doctor had already told him before he came, his brother Hirohito was not getting better, and being able to lie in bed until he was old was already the greatest good fruit. To put it simply, for the next half of his life, Hirohito will be like a vegetative person, just able to feel pain, eat and drink, and enjoy the permanent damage caused by nuclear radiation in bed, and the whole pain until death.

As the emperor, even if he abdicates, there will be no preferential treatment for suicide. What's more, in the current situation, unless someone else takes the initiative to kill him, he doesn't even have the ability to commit suicide.

"I have decided to pass the throne of the emperor to you, and you will be responsible for surrendering to the Chinese."

The emperor's face was covered with gauze, and some places without gauze were all charred black, which was brought about by the war, and after Prince Takamatsu was ordered to leave the navy and withdraw from politics and military affairs, he was able to relax and enjoy himself in a mountain village in the countryside, and the emperor had to stay near Tokyo, and as a result, one person had nothing to do, and the other was half blown to death.

Hearing his brother's words, Prince Takamatsu couldn't help but twitch in his heart, and then thought of what his wife, Prince Kikuko, said before he came.

"They are looking for a scapegoat, and you will bear the historical infamy of the Yamato nation, so that you can surrender to the Chinese and bear the shame of the whole world for the Yamato nation."

Although Prince Takamatsu still came and announced his surrender according to their arrangement, he knew in his heart that what his wife said was right.

When they don't need themselves, they don't think they are princes, they will kick themselves out, and when they need themselves, it's time to surrender unconditionally and find someone to come out and carry the black pot.

Mrs. Kikuko even thought that Hirohito was afraid of death, so he asked her husband to come out and carry the black pot, and he could escape the punishment of the war.

"Brother, I obey your orders."

"Kanaya-kun, you will witness this moment. Call everyone else in. ”

Hirohito had obviously recovered a little, but he looked more fragile, and said to Kanaya Fan San on the side inaudibly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Soon, many high-ranking military and political officials, and even some of the big chaebols of Hirohito walked into Hirohito's ward.

The room was quite large, but Hirohito felt very depressed.

"His Majesty the Emperor!"

Everyone bowed and whispered.

"You have been called here to convey a purpose, ahem...... I have already decided to pass on the throne to Prince Nobuhito of Takamatsunomiya. You must assist him well and help him complete the surrender to the Chinese. ”

Hirohito gasped.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Everyone didn't say much, and at this point, no matter what Hirohito's idea was to relinquish the throne, he was no longer fit to be the emperor of Yumoto, and everyone looked at Kanaya Fan San, Prince Takamatsu, and a respected imperial priest on the side.

The priest held a sword and a brocade box in his hand, which were the traditional tokens of the emperor, and as for the legal and other procedures, they only had to go through it slowly. After all, now that Tokyo and Kyoto have been bombed, and the imperial family is dying, the four Hirohito brothers are left with Takamatsu, and there is another sister, Hirohito himself even his son and imperial concubine have died in the bombing of the Chinese, but he has survived by luck.

The priest handed the token symbolizing the emperor to Prince Takamatsu, who raised the sword, and suddenly, the military and political dignitaries below bowed in unison and shouted, "Your Majesty the Emperor." ”

The new Emperor Takamatsu looked at the dignitaries of the Samoto Army and the politicians who had different expressions in front of him, bowed their heads but were preoccupied, and said solemnly, "Gentlemen, I will lead Samoto in a new direction. ”

...... "Chairman of the Committee, Hirohito announced his abdication and relinquished the emperor's throne to Prince Takamatsu, who presided over the unconditional surrender to us. ”

Luo Feng, director of the Special Intelligence Department, Zhou Guolai, premier of the State Council, Cai Yi, minister of national defense, and Jiang Baili, chief of the General Staff, were all present at a small meeting on the handling of the unconditional surrender of the people.

Zhang Shusheng patted the documents on the table, looked at everyone and said, "The emperor is timid and afraid of death, and he doesn't want to be infamous yet, passing the throne to Prince Takamatsu at this time, this is a typical rabbit who wants to escape."

Fortunately, he is miserable enough, although I still want to make him more miserable, but there is no hurry. The biggest tragedy in life, the loss of his wife and children, the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, he is afraid that he can catch up with everything, and we should not let them down for the rest. ”

"What do you mean, Chairman?"

Everyone knows that what the chairman of the NPC National Committee will mean next is the highest criterion for handling the issue.

Zhang Shusheng groaned slightly, in fact, he had thought about the post-war treatment of Yuben very early. In the middle of the implementation of the plan, because the effect of the use of nuclear bombs far exceeded expectations, the plan was temporarily modified, which led to the unconditional surrender of the plan.

However, this does not mean that Yue could easily bypass and surrender, and Zhang Shusheng would never give in to Yue himself.

"It is a major premise that we must surrender unconditionally, otherwise our army will not land in Yueben.

Unconditional surrender, which must include:

The Chinese side will form a war crimes investigation team to investigate all war criminals on the Chinese side since the First Sino-Japanese War, and as long as they have not been buried in the ground, they will be brought out for trial.

The emperor system was abolished, and the book became a special province of ours.

Arrest militarists and search for potential harms.

Seal all the banks, protect the finances waiting to be received, and whoever destroys the finances, and whoever destroys the property that is about to belong to us, will be executed for war crimes.

All the military forces, with the exception of those who had to maintain order, immediately returned to the barracks and assembled to receive prisoners. No one may burn military materiel or be executed afterwards as a war criminal.

Since the beginning of negotiations on the surrender matter, all people who have said that they are not allowed to leave the country, and those who say that they are in other places should apply to the country where they are located to return to their country within a time limit, otherwise they will bear the consequences.

If there are other deficiencies, we will add them at any time. ”

Zhang Shusheng said solemnly, the fate of this book must be to end the emperor's rule, and finally eliminate the existence of the Yamato nation from the root, as for the dissolution of the political axe and become a small province of China, there are some special arrangements in the end.

At least, they will not be like some other ethnic groups who will be able to live well after being included in the Chinese Empire, and they will stay on the island and enjoy special treatment.

Zhang Shusheng finally said, "Don't worry if you don't agree, they will definitely agree." First dissolve the political axe and become our province. My ultimate thought was to make Yamamoto a city of sin after the war. ”
