"Unconditional surrender?" Ambassador Schulman and Sir Juordian both looked at Tang Shaoyi with stunned expressions. Although, they had long expected that even if the Chinese Empire wanted to agree to an armistice, the conditions put forward would be very harsh. However, they still did not expect that the Chinese Empire would put forward such harsh conditions, and actually wanted to make Japan surrender unconditionally.

Will Japan accept such conditions? That's obviously impossible. After all, announcing an unconditional surrender is tantamount to becoming meat on the board and being slaughtered by the Chinese Empire. No matter how the Chinese Empire wanted to punish Japan, Japan had no power to fight back. Therefore, this is equivalent to letting Japan tie its own hands, and then kneel in front of the Chinese Empire, and let the Chinese Empire dispose of it!

"Your Excellency, are you joking?" Ambassador Shulman asked with a frown.

"No, Your Excellency, I'm not joking. Now I'm very serious. Tang Shaoyi said.

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, you should know that this condition is impossible for the Japanese Government to accept. We hope that the Chinese Empire will show a little sincerity. Only in this way can this war be brought to an early end. The conditions that the Chinese Empire is now proposing are too harsh. Sir Jurdian also said.

"Your Excellency, the conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire are not harsh, and this is our last request. The Japanese government wants us to stop the war, and that's all we want. Otherwise, we will not stop waging war against Japan. Tang Shaoyi shook his head.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, the Japanese Navy has failed. However, they are not without the power to fight back. The Japanese Army still has a million people. What's more, if they want to, they can expand the army more. If the Chinese Army landed on the Japanese mainland, it would be able to defeat Japan in the end. However, the casualties paid by themselves will not be small. Rather than that, it is better to stop the war now. The U.S. government could guarantee that Japan would pay terms that would satisfy the Chinese Empire. Ambassador Shulman said.

Although, the conditions shown by the Chinese Empire have been very resolute, but. Ambassador Schulman still wants to get it. After all, for the United States, if it can keep Japan, it will undoubtedly be the best outcome. As a last resort, they will turn Japan into a quagmire of war and plunge the Chinese Empire into it.

"Your Excellency, the attitude of the Chinese Empire has become very obvious, and we have only one condition, that is, Japan must surrender unconditionally to the Chinese Empire." Tang Shaoyi insisted. If Japan accepts this condition. Then, China can slaughter Japan. In that case, the Chinese Empire would be able to completely remove the Japanese threat to the Empire. If Japan is spared this time, Japan will soon resume its armed forces under the armed forces of Britain and the United States. At that time, it will not be so easy for the Chinese Empire to defeat Japan. Even, it will pay a greater price than now. For the Chinese Empire. Now is the best chance to solve Japan once and for all. Therefore, this opportunity Empire will never let go. Not to mention that Britain and the United States and other countries have come forward to mediate. Even if they threaten with force, the empire will never bow down.

Ambassador Schulman nodded, he also knew that the attitude of the Chinese Empire was very firm, and no matter what they said, the Chinese Empire would not change again. Therefore. Even if I talk about anything else, it doesn't work.

"Well, Your Excellency Foreign Minister, since the attitude of the Chinese Empire is very resolved, then we have no choice but to say anything more. We will take the attitude of the Chinese Empire. conveyed to the Japanese side. It is not up to us to decide what the Japanese side will choose. Ambassador Shulman said.

Tang Shaoyi nodded, although the Japanese have now become lackeys raised by the United States and Britain, but if they want to surrender unconditionally, the Japanese will definitely not agree. Even Britain and the United States are eager for Japan to continue to resist stubbornly.

"Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, we sincerely hope that the Chinese Empire will give more consideration for the sake of world peace. Hopefully, the Chinese Empire will figure this out. Sir Jurden said.

Tang Shaoyi smiled and didn't say anything more. These foreign devils talk about world peace every day, as if they have worked hard for world peace. But in reality, these guys are the destroyers of world peace. If it weren't for them, the world wouldn't have turned out like this. Now, they are just trying to help Japan under the guise of maintaining world peace. This is clearly ill-intentioned. If the Chinese Empire agreed to their terms, it would have been done to the detriment of the Empire's interests.

Ambassador Schulman and Sir Jurdian soon left the Reich Foreign Office. Their mediation this time still ended in failure. However, this result was actually expected by them for a long time. They knew very well that no matter how they tried to stop it, the Chinese Empire would not let go of this opportunity to solve Japan. Therefore, it is doomed that their efforts are completely in vain.

Soon, the conditions of the Chinese Empire were sent to the US and British governments. Both countries know that war is inevitable. They can only plan for the worst, and provide as much support as possible to Japan, so that Japan will have a stronger military strength, and the Chinese Empire will be bled in Japan and pay a greater price.

"Yaga! Damn the Shina people, they are simply too deceitful! "The temple is resolute and thunderous. The Chinese Empire actually demanded the unconditional surrender of Japan, which he undoubtedly regarded as an insult to Japan. Although the Japanese Navy suffered a crushing defeat, there were still dozens of warships left. Even if it can no longer compete with the Chinese Navy for sea supremacy. But it is no problem to cause some trouble for the Chinese Navy. What's more, the Japanese Navy has four more powerful 'Yamato-class' battleships about to be completed and put into service. In addition, the Japanese Army has millions of troops. It would not be so easy for the Chinese Empire to destroy Japan.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, there is only one way for us to fight to the end. Only when the Shina people are defeated on the battlefield and they pay a heavy price will they know that the Great Japanese Empire is not so easy to bully, and they will be willing to sit back at the negotiating table and negotiate with us. Lu Xiang Ishimoto Shinroku said.

Terauchi Zhengyi nodded: "Shi Benjun, the formation of the subsequent twenty divisions must be completed as soon as possible." In addition, the British and Americans will find ways to send us more weapons and equipment, plus our own arsenal is also working at full capacity to produce weapons and equipment. We have to arm more troops. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. However, it would have been more useful if His Majesty the Emperor had issued an edict calling on all Japanese to rise up and take up arms against the invasion of China. When the time comes, there will be more people who sign up to join the death squad. Even if the Shina were able to land on the Japanese mainland, this would be their burial place. Shiroku Ishimoto said.

"Let Your Majesty issue an edict, there should be no problem. I'll consult with the Home Secretary later. Masaki Terauchi said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Shiroku Ishimoto nodded.

"Yachidai-kun, although the navy has just experienced a fiasco, we must not admit defeat like this. We're going to keep fighting. The blockade imposed on us by the Chinese made it difficult for us to gain support from Britain and the United States. The remaining warships of the Navy must break the blockade of the Chinese people at a critical moment, so that the weapons, equipment, and materials supported by Britain and the United States and other countries can be transported to Japan. In this way, it will be more beneficial for us to resist the invasion of the Chinese people. Masaki Terauchi said.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Navy will definitely do its best. As long as we can resist the attack of the Yamato-class fighters, drag it out for a few months, and wait until our 'Yamato-class' battleships are commissioned, we will have the strength to fight the China again." When the time comes, it may not be impossible to break the blockade of the Chinese people. General Rokuro Yashiro said.

"Okay, Yashiro-kun, if the navy has this determination, it would be great. Shi Benjun, there should be no problem for the army to hold on for the navy for a few more months, right? Masaki Terauchi asked.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, there is no problem at all. The Imperial Japanese Army will definitely resist the Shina and buy enough time for the navy. The sixth general of Shimoto said.

"Very good, Shimoto-kun, Yashiro-kun. The time has come for the survival of the Japanese Empire. We have no other choice, we have to be united. Only in this way will it be possible for us to defeat the Shina people and preserve the Great Japanese Empire. Otherwise, the only way to the Empire of Japan would be to perish. Masaki said with a solemn face.

General Shimoto Shinroku and General Rokuro Yashiro both nodded solemnly. Although, Japan's land and sea disputes have always existed. The internal strife between the two sides caused Japan to lose a lot of strength. However, when it came to the critical moment of life and death, they had no other way but to abandon those prejudices and unite as one.

In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Taisho of Japan issued an edict that everyone in Japan would take up arms to resist the invasion of the Chinese Empire. Even if more than 50 million Japanese are all shattered, they must defeat the Chinese Empire and protect Japan.

Emperor Taisho's edict made countless Japanese excited, and they signed up to join the army and death squads, preparing to fight to the death against the Chinese Empire for Japan, even if they sacrificed their lives.

Many Japanese did exactly that, so much so that the Chinese Army paid a lot of price after landing in Japan. Of course, the Japanese paid an even greater price. (To be continued.) )
