The 452nd Earthquake and the Great Revolution VIII

Indeed, earthquake prevention work is very important, and it does not contradict Marxism. Although the positive side of the Great Kanto Earthquake can be found in materialist dialectics, the leaders of the Soviet GCD in the present did not want the same thing to happen in the big cities and industrial centers of the Soviet Union.

The conference room fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone also knew that although the earthquake prevention work was important, it was difficult to grasp it well, and there were some unknown reactionary mysterious forces involved behind the Kanto earthquake...... Ruguo doesn't make this mysterious power qingchu, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to effectively prevent earthquakes! Even Trotsky could not make up his mind for a moment, and after a long silence he spoke: "Comrades! The success or failure of the earthquake prevention work is indeed a matter of the safety of the lives and property of the 150 million Soviet people, so it is necessary to be foolproof, and I have established an All-Soviet Committee for Earthquake Prevention, which is jointly led by the Council of People's Commissars and the Revolutionary Military Committee, and the chairman of the committee is Comrade Kamenev who is also the fastest update of the novel chapters. ”

As soon as these words came out, Kamenev couldn't help but slap ziji's mouth, and now he doesn't even know how Chang Ruiqing came up with the Kanto earthquake, how to carry out this earthquake prevention work in the whole Soviet Union? And now that Zhongsu guānxinàme is nervous, who zhidào that Changda devil will make shime bad? To Shihouziji, the chairman of the All-Union Earthquake Prevention Committee, is only a scapegoat! As soon as he was about to find a reason to excuse himself, Trotsky continued to arrange for the earthquake prevention work: "Comrade Kamenev, the earthquake prevention committee must be set up as much as possible, and scientists must be organized to study the work of earthquake prediction, and there will be a way to accurately predict earthquakes or artificially create large earthquakes...... I suspect that imperialism has mastered the earthquake weapon! Comrade Vatsettis, Comrade Tukhachevsky. The People's Commissariat of Labor and Defense and the General Staff of the Red Army should also organize specialists to study earthquake weapons, which the ruguo really has, and the Soviet state must also have them! Comrade Skryansky. The NKVD must strengthen border management to prevent the imperialists from bringing earthquake weapons into the Soviet Union to sabotage the work, and order our intelligence officers in China to investigate the causes of the Kwantung earthquake at any cost. Comrade Yue Fei, the news of the Great Kanto Earthquake must be tightly sealed, and the slightest bit of news cannot be leaked in the country, zhidào? ”

After Trotsky had finished his anti-earthquake work, his gaze swept over Lenin, who was sitting in Pángbiān, with a gloomy face. He smiled faintly and said, "Comrade Lenin, do you agree with these suggestions of mine?" ”

Lenin smiled reluctantly, nodded, and just wanted to say something. I saw that the door of the conference room was pushed open, and it was the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, Chicherin, who entered. Originally, he was also qualified to participate in the enlarged meeting of the Political Affairs Bureau, but no one knew that a lot of things would inevitably happen in the international community today, so he stayed in the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs and waited for news. Now rush to the Kremlin. It must have happened to shime.

"Comrade Lenin. Comrade Trotsky, who has just received the news that Emperor Taisho of Japan has abdicated the throne and the throne has been succeeded by his son, Crown Prince Hirohito. The new emperor also issued a statement at the enthronement ceremony, in which he decided to implement a friendly policy toward China, withdraw all the Japanese navy and army entrenched at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and prepare to immediately send a negotiating delegation to Shanghai. In addition, the Japanese government has also decided to remove the Japanese ambassador to our country, Katayama Tsuen! ”

……

While the Kremlin was busy deploying the Japanese Revolution and the all-Soviet earthquake prevention work. The situation in Japan is changing dramatically!

On September 1, the night of the Great Kanto Earthquake. Japan's regent, Crown Prince Hirohito, issued an "edict of guilt" in the name of Emperor Taisho, announcing that he would abdicate to assume responsibility for the Sino-Japanese war, appease the anger of Amaterasu, and at the same time order Crown Prince Hirohito to take over the throne of the emperor, and use Showa as the era name to express the righteousness of "showing peace". But the citizens of Tokyo who gathered outside the Imperial Palace Square did not leave, but gathered more and more! By noon the next day, almost 500,000 homeless Tokyoites had gathered at the Imperial Palace Square in front of the Akasaka Imperial Palace......

It is clear that people are not satisfied with the abdication of Emperor Taisho! Because everyone is zhidào, Emperor Taisho has long since handed over power to Crown Prince Hirohito. And this war to challenge the Chinese Changda Immortal was also launched by Crown Prince Hirohito. Now the crown prince, who has brought such a catastrophe to the entire Japanese Empire, not only bowed down and stepped down, but also took the throne of his father, Emperor Taisho, in a grand manner, which does not look like it can calm the anger of Amaterasu or the wrath of Tokodai Immortal. Even the anger of the hundreds of thousands of Tokyo citizens in the Imperial Palace Square could not be quelled!

However, their anger was not all caused by Hirohito's cheekiness, and the Japanese government's slow and ineffective disaster relief measures were also an important cause of their dissatisfaction. Although at an emergency imperial meeting held on the afternoon of September 1, Hirohito, who was still the crown prince regent, instructed the cabinet to find ways to organize the disaster relief. But Yoshiichi Tanaka, the prime minister, did not make a rice cook. Even the Japanese government, which was at peace in the past, was helpless to deal with the relief efforts after the Great Kanto Earthquake, let alone the Japanese government, which was now devastated by the Sino-Japanese War.

The Cabinet Disaster Relief Meeting, which began at noon on September 2, became almost a grievance meeting. Interior Minister Kizaburo Suzuki and Minister of Finance Inukai Takeshi both had bitter water on their faces

With tears in his eyes, the Minister of Finance reported: "There is not much left of the country's grain reserves, but now the food stocks in Tokyo and Yokohama have been destroyed by earthquakes and fires, and millions more people are being fed at once!" Moreover, the Chinese army began to expel the nationals of the occupied territories in the Far Eastern Prefecture, and they also continued to have food for their stomachs, which was really impossible to get, and they could only count on international rescue, but international rescue was far away and difficult to quench their thirst. Moreover, the empire concluded a peace treaty with China and méiyou, and the countries had to abide by neutrality and could not use their ships to transport relief supplies, and the empire's merchant ships suffered heavy losses in the Great Kanto earthquake, and hundreds of large and medium-sized merchant ships in Tokyo Bay sank......"

Interior Minister Kizaburo Suzuki also cried, "The fires in Tokyo and Yokohama continue to spread...... Because the earthquake damaged the water pipes, the fire brigade had no way to put out the fire, and the victims buried in the rubble had to be burned alive...... It's really yidiǎn method also méiyou! In addition, order in Tokyo and Yokohama began to be chaotic. There were robberies and thefts everywhere, a small number of them because people wanted to take advantage of the chaos after the disaster to make ill-gotten gains, and most of them were just for the sake of food.

Furthermore. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also reported that some people took the opportunity to spread rumors among the victims, accusing His Majesty of the Emperor of provoking a war against China by pretending to be a descendant of God, which led to the wrath of heaven and the disaster! The only way to appease the wrath of Heaven is ...... The only way to ask the Emperor to abdicate the throne is to ask His Majesty Xià. ”

"Isn't Yijing abdicating?" Yoshiichi Tanaka asked with a frown. "Aren't the victims of the disaster still under the news of the abdication of Emperor Taisho?"

"No, it's not Emperor Taisho."

"Is it Emperor Showa? He has just ascended the throne, and even the official enthronement ceremony is held. ”

Kizaburo Suzuki still shook his head. sighed: "It's not just about today, it's about the empire!" ”

"This is a great rebellion!" War Minister Tian Zhonghua glared heavily and was about to slap the table. Yoshiichi Tanaka hurriedly stopped Suzuki's speech in this shihou: "Suzuki-kun, that's enough. Please sit down. ”

Suzuki sat down with a mutter, but he was still muttering in a low voice: "Such a great rebellion is not only said by ordinary citizens, but also by many loyal and brave soldiers of the Imperial Army, so the Minister of War should hurry up and think of a way......" Tanaka Yoshiichi glared at Kisanyoshi Suzuki. The latter closed his mouth and stopped talking. Yoshiichi Tanaka named Foreign Minister Kita Kazuki again: "Kita-kun." What do Western countries think of the Kwantung earthquake and Chinese Marshal Chang Ruiqing now? ”

Kita Ikki's face is also blue, and it seems that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also received much good news in the past 24 hours. "The governments of the West," he said, "have expressed their condolences for the catastrophe that has befallen the Empire, but only for them...... appear

They are also not sure whether there is a shime connection between the earthquake and Chang Ruiqing, but there are roughly two theories above.

The first is a statement made by Pope Pius XI in the Vatican after the earthquake, in which he said that Chang Ruiqing was a devout Catholic and that God had created the earthquake to help him......

The second is Albert Brown, President of the Kaiser Wilhelm Academy of Sciences in Germany. Professor Einstein's point of view, he believes that the Chinese have some kind of secret weapon that can create earthquakes! This weapon, the kěnéng, is a super bomb that they place near a fault in the earth's crust. Tongguo detonated a bomb and caused the Great Kanto Earthquake! ”

Tanaka Yoshiichi sighed and said with a wry smile: "Either God has the backing." Either there are superbombs...... It seems that Western countries will not dare to offend this Chinese marshal until they find out the truth about the Qingchu earthquake. By the way, the USSR had a shime reaction? What did they think of the Great Kanto Earthquake? ”

Kita Ikki sighed and showed a strange expression: "The newspapers in the Soviet Union all reported on the earthquake, and they completely blocked the news...... However, news came that the Soviet authorities had newly set up an All-Union Earthquake Prevention Committee, which seemed to be used for Chang Ruiqing. ”

"Nàme said that these materialist atheists are also afraid, and now the empire is really isolated!" Yoshiichi Tanaka muttered to himself: "The key now is to appease people's hearts, and the key to appeasing people's hearts is to negotiate peace with China as much as possible...... The war must not be fought again, and the power of méiyou can be fought again! He looked at Bei Yihui: "Beijun, you immediately leave for Shanghai, and you must reach a peace with China regardless of Shime's conditions!" It must be fast, the internal troubles of the empire will soon begin, and it will no longer be possible to face external troubles at the same time. ”

"Is it true that you have to be reconciled regardless of Shime's conditions? I'm afraid that the people in the palace and the army will not agree! Before Tanaka finished speaking, War Minister Tian Zhongzhong interrupted loudly: "Now there are quite a few people with lofty ideals who advocate fighting China to the end, and there are many such warriors in the army departments of the Far East, Korea, and the Yangtze River estuary front!" The Ruguo Empire's bottomless compromise with China is only afraid that it will chill the hearts of the people with lofty ideals, and it will also be endless troubles in the future! ”

Hearing the warning of the Minister of War, everyone in the conference room sighed. It turned out that the greatest difficulty facing Japan now was not the defeat of the war and the earthquake, but the loss of the authority of the emperor!

Before the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Emperor was the living god of Japan. The war and the issue of peace with China can be solved with a single edict of the emperor. Even if there are people in the military and civilians who are dissatisfied, it is difficult for them to openly challenge the authority of the emperor...... But now, the emperor's godhead is almost gone, and who else can decide the future and fate of the Japanese Empire? The Ruguo cabinet dared to sign the peace treaty with China that lost its power and humiliated the country, but I am afraid that it will immediately become the traitor pointed out by Qianfu, right? Contrarily. The ruguo cabinet gritted its teeth and must fight to the end, and most of them will be regarded as the culprit who angered the gods! What a thankless job this Prime Minister is!

There was an awkward silence in the conference room of the Prime Minister's residence. And Tanaka Yoshiichi's face is getting greener and bluer. Looking at the room, the ministers all bowed their heads and said nothing. Tanaka's heart is also wow cool wow cool, and he seems to want to find a way out. He muttered again: "It seems that we still have to find a way to re-establish the authority of the Emperor, and the Great Japanese Empire cannot be the Emperor of Japan, and the Emperor must be turned into a god again......"

……

It's almost 30 hours since the Great Kanto Earthquake. But the fires in the Japanese capital are still raging, still spreading uncontrollably, devouring more and more houses and lives, and it seems that they will never be extinguished!

And the imaginary rescue has been delayed. Méiyou has enough firefighters to extinguish the fire, and also rescuers sent by the Méiyou government or the military to search for survivors in the rubble that has burned up Méiyou. Even méiyouyidiǎn food and clean drinking water were delivered to the victims of the disaster who gathered in the palace square and the yoyogi training ground! The vast majority of them have eaten yidiǎn things since the earthquake! Now the only thing that haunts their hearts is the fènnu of the big liar in the Akasaka Palace!

不zhidào starts with shimeshihou. Listen to the speeches given by young men dressed in military uniforms or white-washed overalls, as they begin to speak on stages throughout the palace squares.

“…… Fellow citizens, we have all been deceived! The person sitting in the Akasaka Imperial Palace giving orders was not a descendant of Amaterasu at all. Rather, a shameless liar! No. Not a liar, but a litter of liars, a family of liars! They have been lying for generations, and now the lies have been exposed, but the big liar still shamelessly lies on the throne and refuses to come down! How can there be such a shameless person in the world, and how can we Japanese let such a shameless liar ride on his head and make a fortune! ”

“…… This earthquake was sent from heaven to the blasphemous emperors! However, the Emperor did not repent, and continued to pretend to be the descendants of God, and was ready to fight the unjust war with China to the end. Even if you get the whole of Japan, you don't hesitate to do it! If we ruguo support such a false god emperor again, the Japanese nation will be doomed! ”

“…… Can they be the emperor for shime? It's not because they're the descendants of the shime god...... And we are not children of God. It's just a mortal, so the emperor should be in their family! But now, the facts prove that the Heavenly Emperor is not a descendant of God at all, and there is really a descendant of God on the shijiè of Ruguo, and that is also the Generalissimo of China, not Hirohito! Nàme Hirohito is still the emperor with shime? Is it because they have deceived us for 2,000 years? ”

“…… Look at the disaster that this so-called Ming Jun brought to Japan in Shijiān during his more than two years of regency! Before Hirohito usurped power, Japan owned Korea, Taiwan, the Far Eastern State, and the mainland archipelago, with a total of more than one million square kilometers of land! But in just two years, how much land is left in Japan? Yijing is less than half a million square kilometers! When he became a regent, he lost half of the country, and he also caused this Kanto earthquake! Ruguo will be the emperor again, will we still be able to save Zài in Japan? ”

"Whoever can be the emperor can do it, but Hirohito can't be the emperor! Because he is the culprit of Japan's national disaster at all! He also has in his heart all méiyou, the people of us...... It's been almost two days since the earthquake, and even the relief of a rice ball is méiyou! We worked day and night all year round, paid a lot of taxes, and ended up getting shime? There is only one dead end! How can such a big bastard be the emperor? If he becomes emperor, will we still have a way to live? ”

"Fellow citizens, when I heard about Méiyou, Hirohito didn't want peace at all, he just wanted to fight, regardless of the will of God, and regardless of the life or death of our people! There are simply méiyou relief materials, everything is being used for military purposes, and it is being transported to the Far East and North Korea in a boat! Hirohito Yijing is crazy, and Ruguo lets this madman continue to be the emperor! We're dead! ”

"Down with Hirohito! Down with the Emperor System! Establishment of the Republic of Japan ......"

In the end, the slogan of the Great Rebellion sounded in the palace square, and it became louder and louder, and finally broke through the high walls and closed doors and windows of the Akasaka Imperial Palace, and reached the ears of Hirohito, who had just ascended the throne of the emperor, and the person who did not become the emperor. As a result, the father and son quarreled in the hall of the Akasaka Imperial Palace, in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs who came to ask for national policy.

According to the later recollections of several Japanese ministers who witnessed the incident at the time. On the same day, Jiaren, who had just woken up from the effects of the sedative, rushed to the scene of the imperial meeting in his pajamas. As soon as he saw Hirohito sitting on the emperor's throne, he had a nervous attack, and pointed at Hirohito and scolded: "Rebellion! Rebel! You rebel took advantage of my unpreparedness to seize the throne! Listen, now that the people are coming against you, why don't you hurry up and get me down from the throne! You rebel! You big bastard! Hurry up and return the Emperor's seat to my ......" (To be continued.) )
