Chapter 252: Fusang Who Died
The ministers and the military at the scene were divided into two factions, and almost all the civil ministers, that is, government personnel, advocated surrender to preserve their strength in order to wait for his rise in the future; The officers were very tough in advocating the fight to the end, they believed that Huaxia would not invest too many troops in Fusang proper, as long as they resisted Huaxia's attack, and then slowly fought Huaxia, believing that Huaxia would withdraw its troops.
Some of them have been watching from the sidelines, and Emperor Taisho and Aritomo Yamaguchi have not expressed their opinions, each with their own thoughts.
"Can you bear to let Dongjing be bombed by Huaxia? Does this have to appeal to the emperors of the past generations? Is it worthy of the people of Dongjing? Until now, you still can't see the reality of the matter, what strength do we have to fight against the Chinese army, don't you think about the people of the whole country? Hara Kei roared at those high-ranking military officials who resolutely opposed surrender, and the scene was calm, and even Emperor Taisho and others focused their eyes on Hara Kei.
Since the negotiation between Huaxia and Fusang broke down, Yuan Jing returned to China, but after returning to China, he found that the military department was in charge of the whole country, the whole country entered a state of military control, and the army continued to loot the people's food, which made the people who had been affected by the rice rush even more miserable, and he had long had the idea of surrendering in his heart.
At this time, Yusaku Uehara shot back with righteousness and sternness: "Surrender? What will China do to us. As a soldier, I must protect the Empire until we all die in battle! Do you want to be a member of the so-called federation of China like North Korea and Siam? Don't be foolish, they won't! ”
The high-level government, especially Yuan Jing and others, do have the idea of joining the Huaxia Federal Empire, so that Huaxia can help Fusang recover its strength, and then cooperate with the United States to split out, and Fusang will at least not have the possibility of extinction. But they have always ignored how Huaxia would treat Fusang in the end, and then they turned pale when they thought of how Fusang treated the Manchus at the beginning, even if the Huaxia government was willing to accept Fusang, it is estimated that the Chinese people would not accept them.
Since the beginning of the war between Fusang and Huaxia, the official mouthpiece of Huaxia, the Imperial Daily, has been vigorously promoting the crimes committed by Fusang in China since the First Sino-Japanese War, coupled with Fusang's undeclared invasion of Northeast China, the Chinese people are very resentful of Fusang.
In this hatred, even if Fusang joins Huaxia, it is estimated that he will not receive any good treatment, and will Huaxia enslave Fusang after surrendering? These are the worries of the military high-ranking people, they know best what Fusang has done in Huaxia over the years, and they are also afraid that they will be executed by Huaxia after surrendering, after all, the war with Huaxia was caused by them.
"We do not think that the Chinese will attack our people, as can be seen from the federal empire that they have vigorously instigated, and if they attack the people, it will not be conducive to them continuing to admit new members. How much material and money does the empire still have to support you in your struggle, and how long can you fight, and you want to drag the whole of Fuso into the quagmire of war? ”
As the representative of Wenchen, Yuan Jing was still unwilling to continue the meaningless struggle, and Huaxia could have used a longer time to wear down Fusang's army, so every day of delay in the decision to make the surrender as good as possible would be a torment for Fusang.
"How can the great Yamato nation surrender to the Chinese people, being ruled by the Chinese people is also a country that will not be a country, people will not be human, and they would rather die than surrender!"
"A few decades ago, we did not bow down to the great powers and sign treaties that humiliated the country, but after the courage of the people of the whole country, we became the number one power in Asia in one fell swoop. If we were able to rise in the past, we will definitely be able to rise in the future! When you run out of strength, there's really no hope! ”
“……”
The dispute between the capitulation faction and the anti-surrender faction became more and more intense, and they almost started to act on the spot, but Emperor Taisho and others still did not express their position.
"What's the noise? Hear from the patriarchs! "Emperor Taisho suddenly kicked the ball towards Yama Prefecture Aritomo and others.
Taisho's words made all the ministers and military high-ranking officials focus their eyes on a few of them, and they were literally set on a firestand.
I saw that there were friends in Yama County bowing to Emperor Taisho ninety degrees, and his expression was very stern, "At the critical moment of the empire's life and death, everyone is subject to His Majesty's decision!" ”
When the other patriarchs heard this, they echoed it and kicked the ball back to Taisho, no matter how Taisho dealt with it, he would offend one side.
Emperor Taisho raised his hands and pressed down, "You guys listen to us first, and then think about it." It is necessary to surrender for the sake of the empire, but it is not at this time, we must not surrender unconditionally, and let the China know that we still have the qualifications to negotiate with them, and we can also strive to retain more benefits! ”
At first, the high-level military officials were quite angry when they heard it, but when they heard it, they knew what Taisho meant, and first resisted the attack of China, wiped out the Chinese army as much as possible, and fought for more benefits for the subsequent surrender, and it was inevitable that the original leadership team of Fuso would be maintained.
Now that the emperor has spoken, the top brass of the military department also have other thoughts in their hearts, and the reason why they are unwilling to surrender is that there is no one to bear the greatest responsibility on their heads, and now that the emperor is taking the lead, of course they will not refuse.
Taisho's words not only did not offend the military and the government, but also left several elders speechless, and this kind of decision was undoubtedly what they wanted.
It didn't take long for the high-level Fuso to decide to delay the time and secretly move the government, the military and the royal family out of Dongjing, and they abandoned Dongjing.
In Sagami Bay, several battleships and dozens of ships are struggling to clear mines in the Uraga waterway at the exit of Dongkyo Bay.
In order to prevent the Huaxia Fleet from entering Dongjing Bay, the Fusang Military Headquarters sealed Dongjing Bay with mines, and also used a new type of submerged mines, and the Huaxia Fleet had no choice but to clear the batteries and other threats on both sides of the strait and then transfer to the work of clearing mines.
Not far from the exit of Dongjing Bay, two warships and Tiantai No. 1 are quietly parked there, and more than a dozen submarines will float on the surface every once in a while.
On Tiantai No. 1, Sa Bingzhen and a group of naval officers were discussing waiting for Fusang to surrender to take a group photo at the Fusang Palace and empty the palace, and laughter came out from time to time.
The signal soldier came to the door and said a few words to the officer guarding the door, and then the officer nodded and turned to Sa Bingzhen in his ear and didn't know what to say, Sa Bingzhen's face suddenly changed.
"I don't know what to do, I dare to delay time, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell for you to find yourself! The Air Force will immediately dispatch to bomb Dongjing! ”
"Yes, mission guaranteed!"
An officer in an air force uniform with the rank of major general stood up and saluted, and ran out, no doubt to prepare for the bombing.
"Boom ......"
One after another, waterfowl fighters soared into the sky and flew in the direction of Dongjing.
The waterfowl fighters advanced all the way along Dongjing Bay, in order not to disturb the Fusang people and raised as much as possible, and there were few ships sailing in Dongjing Bay at this time, and the arrival of the Huaxia fleet made the originally active Dongjing Bay a lot more deserted.
Even if the Waterfowl Squad wanted to hide, it was still discovered when they got close to Dongjing, and the closer they got to Dongjing, the more Fuso ships patrolled Dongjing Bay, and the huge roar of the Waterfowl Fighter could not be hidden.
"Airplane...... It's the plane of the Chinese people, report it quickly! ”
Several Fuso Navy soldiers were on the patrol boat, their feet trembling, holding the telescope and looking into the sky, and more than a dozen huge figures appeared in the telescope, and combined with the roar, they concluded that it was a Chinese plane.
A soldier rushed to report in a panic and tripped several times along the way. Not only the patrol ships saw it, but also the sailors of the merchant ships, many of whom jumped into the water frantically, thinking that the merchant ships would be bombed, but the planes flew over their heads and ignored them.
In the Dongjing Imperial Palace, a group of soldiers led by Yusaku Uehara rushed in, ignoring the warnings of the palace guards and rushed into the depths of the palace, followed by a large group of soldiers from a distance.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, the Minister of War has led his troops to break into the palace and is rushing here!"
Several guards almost choked on the Taisho Emperor who was eating, and the exquisite porcelain bowl slammed to the ground, and the prince Hirohito next to him hugged his mother Kujo Setsuko tightly.
"What is he doing, rebellion?"
Emperor Taisho could not have imagined that the military ministers, who had just dispersed, would let the Minister of War lead troops into the palace.
As soon as Taisho finished speaking, there was a sound of neat footsteps outside, and there were even gunshots in the distance.
"Your Majesty, things are not good, the plane of the people of China has flown to the vicinity of Dongjing, and the ministers are under the order of the military department to protect His Majesty and evacuate the palace, please cooperate with Your Majesty!" Yusaku Uehara said to Taisho as soon as he walked in.
Emperor Taisho saw that Yusaku Uehara didn't look like a deceitful to him, so he believed it, but he was very angry in his heart, because the news was likely to be exposed, otherwise the Huaxia plane would not have appeared in Dongjing at this time.
"Boom ......"
A huge siren sounded in Dongjing, it was the siren of Dongjing's air raid, and the citizens were completely confused, and they ran like crazy to the air-raid shelter that had been opened up not long ago.
"Boom...... Rumble......"
The waterfowl team first flew to the green island in the center of Dongjing, that is, the Fuso Imperial Palace, and dropped bombs one after another, and bursts of black smoke rose from the green island.
Uehara Yusaku and the Emperor's family hid in the air-raid shelter on Midorishima, and Emperor Taisho listened to the dense explosion and sweat continued to flow, and glanced at Uehara Yusaku very gratefully, if he hadn't pulled himself here quickly, maybe he would have gone to meet the emperors of the past dynasties.
More than ten minutes later, the waterfowl team flew away from Green Island and targeted the tallest building and the Prime Minister's Palace in Dongjing, and the city was full of fires.
At this time, Dongjing was no better than the high-rise buildings of Dongjing in later generations, and there were still a large number of wooden buildings, and after the bomb exploded, a raging fire ignited, and the fire spread rapidly to the surrounding area. Almost all the people flocked to the bomb shelters, and the police were also maintaining order and guiding the people, and there was no one to put out the fire, so the fire spread wildly and unscrupulously, and when the waterfowl team flew away, the small half of Kyoto burned up.
