Chapter 409: Urging Japan to Surrender

After the Tiger Army landed at Ghost Mountain, it immediately cooperated with the Fifth Division to attack the Japanese Second Division and the Seventh Division and annihilate most of them. Subsequently, the Tiger Army attacked in the direction of Nagoya and successfully occupied Nagoya on November 14, and the Japanese 2nd Division and 7th Division were basically completely annihilated. Yang Jichang got up and said respectfully.

"Excellent! The Tiger Ben Army is worthy of being the most elite unit of our Chinese Empire, and it was beautiful in the first battle. Ren Chao said with a smile.

"In addition, in the western battlefield, with the cooperation of the Korean army, our Eastern Expeditionary Army occupied Hiroshima on November 13 and Okayama on the 15th, and the main forces of the Japanese army's 3rd Division, 4th Division, 5th Division, 8th Division, and 10th Division have also been completely annihilated by our army, and the western battlefield has been basically pacified. Wang Jing, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, had already moved his headquarters to Nagoya to prepare for an attack on Tokyo, Japan. Yang Jichang continued.

"Hmmm! The war in the west is certain, and most of the main forces of the Japanese army have been wiped out by us, so there will be no suspense in the next battle. Wang Jing sent him to prepare for an attack on Tokyo, Japan, and to deliver the final blow to the Japanese. Ren Chao nodded and said.

"Your Majesty will be blessed with the sky, and I will be able to bless the victory of the Heavenly Soldiers, and Japan is a small country, and it can be determined." Yang Jichang said respectfully.

According to the latest intelligence, the Japanese army has been defeated in successive battles, and the voice of anti-war in Japan is rising. The pro-China faction on the Japanese government has gained the absolute upper hand, and at present the Lord-peace faction is exerting pressure on the emperor to agree to surrender to the Chinese Empire. Foreign Minister Liang Yan said loudly.

"If you can surrender without a fight, it is naturally the best! In the name of me, a proclamation was issued to the Japanese government, urging the Japanese government to surrender as much as possible. Ren Chao said with a stern face.

"Command!" Liang Yan replied respectfully.

Early the next morning, Liang Yan summoned Kato Takaaki, a Japanese representative who had come to sue for peace, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Liang Yan said with a stern face, "Mr. Kato, in view of the sincerity of your government in seeking peace. The contemptible people begged my emperor Xià, and His Majesty was kind-hearted, and finally agreed to give you a chance. ”

"Really? That's great! So when will your army stop attacking, and when will we start formal negotiations? Kato Takaaki was overjoyed and couldn't wait to ask.

"Negotiations? I said a long time ago, you are not qualified to negotiate with our Huaxia Empire at all, I have a copy of the Emperor's Majesty's holy decree here, and you will naturally understand after listening to it! Liang Yan snorted coldly and said.

Kato Takaaki's face was cloudy, and he said with a bitter face and reluctance, "Contemptible people listen to the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor of your country. ”

Liang Yan ignored Kato Takaaki. He respectfully received a holy decree from his assistant's hand, opened it and read it aloud, "Fengtian carrier, the system says: On behalf of the hundreds of millions of people of the Chinese Empire, Emperor Shengwu of the Chinese Empire has consulted and agreed that Japan should be given a chance to end this war. Our Celestial Empire's million-strong army is ready to strike the final blow at Japan. The war against Japan will not stop resisting. The military strength of the Celestial Empire, backed by the resolute will of the hundreds of millions of people of the Celestial Empire, if it is fully implemented. There is no escape from the complete destruction of the Japanese army, and the Japanese mainland will eventually be completely destroyed. Now that the time has come, Japan must decide on a course. It will continue to be subject to its single-handedness of miscalculations, which has led Japan to the control of the military in a state of complete ruin, or to the path of reason. The following are the conditions of the Celestial Empire. The Celestial Empire will never change, and there is no other way. The hesitation to postpone is even more intolerable to the Celestial Empire.

The Japanese government must submit to the Celestial Empire, follow the example of Korea, and become a subject state of the Celestial Empire. Japan's sovereignty was to be limited to Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and other small islands determined by the Celestial Empire.

The authority and power that deceived and wrongly led the Japanese people to invade other countries must be eliminated forever. The Gaitian Empire insisted on driving responsible militarism out of the world, and a new order of peace, security, and justice would be impossible. Until the establishment of such a new order, and until the destruction of Japan's war-making forces, and when there is definite and credible evidence, the territory of Japan, designated by the Celestial Empire, must be occupied, and the basic purpose of the Celestial Empire stated herein may be accomplished.

After the Japanese army is completely disarmed, it will be allowed to return to its homeland, where it will have the opportunity to live in peace, production and life.

The Celestial Empire had no intention of enslaving the Japanese nation or destroying its state, but it would punish those who committed war crimes by law.

The Japanese Government had the audacity to provoke the war without any reason, and should bear full responsibility for the war. The Japanese government shall compensate the Celestial Empire and the Korean Kingdom for all losses caused by the war.

Japan would be allowed to maintain industries which were necessary for its economy and for which it could pay reparations for goods, but would allow it to obtain raw materials, as opposed to the control of raw materials, and Japan's eventual participation in international trade relations should be permitted.

I inform the Government of Japan of the forthright and unconditional surrender of all Japanese armed forces, and the good faith in such action to give due assurances, in addition to which Japan is about to be quickly and completely destroyed. Chin this! ”

Kato Takaaki paused for a full minute after hearing this, and then asked tentatively, "This is the condition of your country?" That's too harsh, isn't it? ”

"This is the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Martial Emperor of the Heavenly Pilgrimage, you can only accept it or not, and there is no room for turning around. If you accept it, then that's it. If not, the holy decree is clear, my Celestial Empire's million-strong army is already ready to go, and with a single move, it can sweep away you, a small country in Japan. Liang Yan said coldly.

Kato Takaaki saw Liang Yan's resolute face, and there was no room for negotiation at all. He sighed helplessly, "This matter is very important, and the contemptible people cannot make the decision, so we need to consult the government and His Majesty the Emperor before we can give your country an answer." ”

"Hmmm! Go and ask your emperor. However, in my personal name, I advise you that there is an old saying in China that those who know the times are handsome. I hope that your country will think carefully about it, and do not make any wrong decisions, and it will be too late to regret them. Liang Yan said with a sneer.

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs, for the reminder. However, this matter is very important, and even if it is reported to the government and His Majesty the Emperor, it is necessary to convene a meeting of the Imperial Cabinet to discuss it before a decision can be made. Our government hopes that your army will be able to stop the offensive until we make a final decision. Takaaki Kato pleaded respectfully.

"You don't have to hope for anything about this, unless Japan accepts all of our conditions and all Japanese troops surrender unconditionally, the attack of our heavenly soldiers will definitely not end." Liang Yan said unceremoniously. (To be continued......)
