At the same time as Tu Qianjun and others were holding a meeting, the New York Times and the Washington Post suddenly made detailed and in-depth reports on the Panay incident.

However, the reports have always tended to either regard Japan as a political entity in the rock, or to point the finger at "Japanese warlords", "militarists" and "extremist militarists".

Later, the "Los Angeles Times" published an editorial on Roosevelt's warning to the emperor about the "Panay incident":

"Readers are expected to pay attention to the fact that the armed forces of Japan are under the sole control of the emperor, and not ...... It is necessary to obey the Japanese government, which is represented by the cabinet...... Of course, as for whether the Japanese high command is actually subordinate to the emperor, or dominates the emperor, this is another question.

However, there is a duality in the last three months of Chapter 736 in the Japanese establishment, which makes it difficult to negotiate with the Japanese government. Personally, I think we should be prepared for something that some hardliners will harm the peace of the world and the lives of our compatriots. This kind of thing is already happening! ”

However, the Los Angeles Times was inconclusive on the question of the emperor's actual powers. This is a huge misunderstanding, and it is a pity that the United States does not have any awareness of it now.

Roosevelt urgently summoned the Japanese ambassador to the United States and issued a strong warning to his face: The United States will not sit idly by and watch its compatriots suffer such a catastrophe, and Japan must have a reasonable explanation for this matter and deal with those responsible.

Otherwise, the United States, in order to defend its own population, will have to "use the means that it does not want to use, but has to use"!

This tough conversation was faithfully returned to Tokyo along the airwaves. In Hirohito's Imperial Palace. With a blushing face, he took the telegram and said in a deep voice to the Xianyuan Palace in front of him.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?! Can anyone give me an answer, what the hell is going on?! Who gave the order to attack?! Who did that?! ”

Xianyuan Palace bowed his head and did not dare to speak, while Hirohito stood up and shouted, "Answer me!" ”

Chapter 736 The Last Three Months "Your Majesty, This Is a Mistaken...... Not a Mistake"

"Red Okanoro!! Are you a fool?! The sky is clear, and the Panay is still painted with the American flag, if this can be blown up by mistake, then the entire brigade that was bombed by mistake should be disemboweled!! ”

Before the words of Xianyuan Palace were finished, Hirohito roared wildly! Although some progress has been made in the war in China, the situation in Japan as a whole is not optimistic.

The first is American capital, in order to prevent Japan from threatening their interests in the three eastern provinces. It has taken the initiative to reduce the supply of resources to Japan. Second, the reaction within the United States to Japan's war is getting louder!

Once the resources are completely cut off, then what awaits Japan Hirohito himself knows very well in his heart. Unless the resource land is occupied. Otherwise, Japan can only consume itself to death in a war of attrition!

"Your Majesty, we need to take into account the thoughts of the soldiers on the front line. If it is punished, it will inevitably affect the morale of the military. At that time, the Empire's war in China will be difficult to guarantee......"

Xianyuan Palace bowed down and said in pain. And Hirohito's face was cold! He said fiercely: "Are you threatening me?!" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't dare! Your Majesty, now is the most critical time for the Great East Asia Holy War. At this time, the morale of the military must not be shaken, and our goal is to confront the forces from the United States and even Europe. ”

"So, this attitude is just a matter of early and late. The first thing we must accomplish now is the war in China. By annihilating the Nanking government that had migrated to Wuhan, we would be able to control most of the Guannai. ”

"When the time comes, with resources and supplies, we will definitely be able to slaughter the tiger that humiliated the empire several times in Manchuria! Take back the honor that belongs to the Empire! ”

Hirohito listened to the words of the Kanyuan Palace, and his face turned blue and white for a while. He knew that the practices of the Xianyuan Palace were actually for the good of the royal family. But is that the best way to be so radical?!

He didn't know, because he had never commanded troops in war. It was only by virtue of his own political sensitivity that he felt that a war with the United States would be extremely unfavorable to Japan.

"Three months! I'll give you three months at most! Hirohito looked at the Xianyuan Palace and said in a deep voice: "You have already made certain achievements in Shina. I admit it. But if you can't annihilate Chiang Chung-cheng's government within three months, then the war should be over. I would consider mediation! ”

Xianyuan Gong was bent down, but his face was extremely ugly when facing the ground. It seems that Hirohito's determination has been exhausted, and if he has not annihilated the forces of Nanjing, then it is needless to say that he will fight the tiger.

The biggest reason why the troops in Korea did not dare to launch a counterattack was that the Japanese army did not completely control the Kannai. If North Korea loses the threat, it will be Japan as a whole.

Even then, the war will continue. The impact on the mainland would also result in the Japanese having to devote most of their forces to defending the mainland. This ultimately led to the fact that Japan was dragged to death.

"Hay! Xianyuan Palace will inevitably bring glory to His Majesty! Never live up to my royal name! Kanin Gong leaned over to Hirohito and replied loudly. In the afterglow, he saw Hirohito wave at him, and he slowly exited the room with his body bent over.

Time slowly entered 1938, but no one was celebrating this New Year's Day. Everyone's eyes were drawn to the ancient capital of Nanjing.

In this city, which was abandoned by Chiang Zhongzheng, there were more than 80,000 troops still fighting the Japanese army. From December 13, they took over the defense of Nanjing, and until now, the urban area of Nanjing has not been lost.

This directly made Jiang Zhongzheng, who was in Lushan, speechless, and it is certain that Jiang Zhongzheng has now lost his leading position in the fight against Japan. His performance in Nanjing caused doubts among warlords and even within the national government.

You, Jiang Zhongzheng, swore that you could hold it for two months. As a result, within a few days, you let Tang Shengzhi run away! Is this called war?! Jiang Zhongzheng abandoned the defense, but the troops who came out of nowhere held the city of Nanjing.

This unit has not shown its flag until now, but there are rumors that this unit is actually part of the Wehrmacht. They had already entered the city of Nanjing early in the morning to prepare for the anti-Japanese resistance.

Chiang's decision to abandon Nanking forced them to stand up against the Japanese army. In the same way, under the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army, aircraft bombing, and heavy artillery shelling, this unit held out until 1938.

"! Didn't I tell the slaughtering tiger that he wasn't allowed to mix?! Does he take me as a leader in his eyes?! Jiang Zhongzheng roared in his office in Lushan, and everyone did not dare to approach.

There was no one else in the office, only Yang Yongtai, Wolong, who Jiang Zhongzheng thought was particularly capable of "guiding the maze".

"Chairman, please calm down." But when he saw Yang Yongtai facing Jiang Zhongzheng, he said: "Although the Wehrmacht has taken the lead in this matter, it doesn't mean that we don't have a chance......

"Oh?! Why did Chang Qing say this?! Jiang Zhongzheng was originally roaring, but when he heard Yang Yongtai say this, he couldn't help but let go of his anger and said curiously.

"Chairman, please see, this is the latest issue of the New York Times. There is a news above, Japan has blown up and sunk the Americans' Panay! Yang Yongtai chuckled.

The reaction in the United States was so strong that President Roosevelt issued a tough warning to Japan. If Japan does not give the United States an explanation, then they may not resort to war. ”

Counting on the intervention of foreign adults is very much in line with Jiang Zhongzheng's mentality. Yang Yongtai's statement suddenly captured Jiang Zhongzheng's heart. saw that his face turned from anger to joy, and said to Yang Yongtai.

"Changqing! My Wolong, will the plan be settled?! Come on! ”

"Chairman of the Committee, Ziwen has always been in close contact with the Americans. It's better to leave this matter to him, and we can agree to some conditions and make some deals. In exchange for military supplies, it is necessary to fill the vacancy on the battlefield. ”

But seeing Yang Yongtai paused, he continued with a smile: "Eggs don't press in one basket, I believe Americans understand this truth." Although the three eastern provinces were strong, they were not necessarily able to withstand the Japanese attack. Give us some equipment and weapons, so that we can withstand the Japanese, which I believe the Americans are still willing. ”

Jiang Zhongzheng nodded, Yang Yongtai's analysis is not unreasonable. This move by the Japanese is undoubtedly a bad move, and attacking US warships in this way will not frighten the United States, but will arouse the vigilance of the United States.

And in Jiang Zhongzheng's opinion, isn't the reason why he is weak is because of his bad weapons?! If those weapons from the three eastern provinces were put into Chiang Zhongzheng's own troops, Jiang Zhongzheng would even be confident that he would directly drive the Japanese out of China!

However, history has proven that even if Jiang Zhongzheng gets advanced weapons, he can't defeat even the Japanese army with poor combat effectiveness.

In the last months of the Anti-Japanese War, the national government troops that were already armed with American weapons were still beaten all over the ground by the Japanese. The Japanese Fujiwara Akira recorded in "Records of the Chinese Front" that after he conquered the Dayu in the southwest of Jiangxi Province in 1945, near the border of Guangdong Province, he not only obtained a large amount of sugar-coated tablets of quinine, a drug used to prevent malaria, but also seized 500 tons of rice

Akira Fujiwara said, "Because it's all husked rice, it's supposed to be military rice." With so much food, the Japanese army no longer had to worry about the supply of staple food for the troops. ”

At the same time, Fujiwara Akira also said, "The large amount of medical materials obtained in Dayu can be said to be a rare respite for the Japanese army, because the cut off of the supply of medical materials to the Japanese army is a very profound problem." ”

"Since the supply of medicine is not directly related to the victory or defeat of the war, the Japanese army does not pay attention to the supply of medical materials at all. However, the harm caused by the lack of medical materials can actually reach the level of taking human life, and then irretrievably and immeasurably reducing the combat effectiveness of the troops. ”

"Quinine, which is not treated for malaria, has so far caused a large number of people to develop malaria and many people die from it."

From this point of view, a certain duke is not only the captain of the red transport brigade, but also the life-saving benefactor of the Japanese army invading China. It's a lot of generosity. rq！！！
