Chapter 1203: Surrender (Part II)

Actually, Ishihara himself was also puzzled. Supposedly, he was a high-ranking officer in the base camp of the RI Army. To clean up, he must be the first to clean up.

But all the while, he was held in captivity. Seeing that most of the people around him were arrested for trial and never came back, Ishihara was puzzled about his treatment.

Even if the Wehrmacht doesn't clean itself up, it has to interrogate itself, right?! But there was no arraignment procedure anymore, which made Ishihara a a little overwhelmed.

"Okay, can you tell me why you didn't see me until now?!" Ishihara smiled and said to Wang Yajiao: "You must know better than anyone else about my current situation, what I want to know is why I am the last?!" ”

Wang Yajiao was silent, he was thinking about how he should test Ishihara's bottom line. Ishihara is undoubtedly an extremely intelligent soldier.

It is extremely difficult to get the truth out of the mouth of such a person. If it was a justifiable interrogation, Wang Yajiao was sure that he would be able to get the truth from his mouth.

But this was clearly impossible, and the order given by the General Staff was to test the willingness of the former lieutenant general of the General Staff to cooperate. This was clearly not an order for him to be tortured.

But if he is not tortured, Wang Yajiao will take a lot of time to tell the truth. This is also the reason why Wang Yajiao has not come to see Ishihara Waner since receiving the order.

"Mr. Ishihara, we are all smart people. Then I won't go around in circles......" Looking at Ishihara's eyes, Wang Yajiao knew that he couldn't be deceived by lies.

Let's just tell the truth, whether he agrees or disagrees, he is just reporting to the General Staff. The plan for the disposal of Ishihara was determined by the General Staff Headquarters.

"The General Staff believes that Mr. Ishihara did things that hurt China during the war. But you have also contributed to the Chinese revolution, so the General Staff of Punishment for you is still under consideration. ”

"We've gathered a lot of information about you over this time. From your tenure in the Kwantung Army to your return to the base camp. And then we collected all the experiences in Southeast Asia, Russia, etc. ”

After a pause, Wang Yajiao looked at Ishihara and asked softly, "So, the General Staff asked me to ask you." Do you need a post-war peaceful riben, or do you want to see corpses strewn all over the field?! ”

Wang Yajiao's words made Ishihara's pupils shrink sharply. He now finally knew what the Wehrmacht meant by keeping him, and they needed someone who could bridge the forces of all sides to appear in the political arena.

And his own intelligence, and did not participate in ** and opposed the invasion of China in the later period. Thus entered the eyes of the Wehrmacht.

"Of course I hope that after the war, RI could have calmed down. The wounds caused by the war are too great, and it will take us a long time to heal them......"

Wang Yajiao nodded with a smile when he heard this, and said, "The war is caused by the army, and you even have deeds that have contributed to this matter. ”

"But we don't want to worry about that. From now on, there will be no more armies. Jing Cha may be more! But the army is certainly no longer available. ”

"As for the security of the Rihon, it will be the sole responsibility of our Wehrmacht in the future. We will not interfere in your government affairs. Of course, you are responsible for the venue and expenses of our garrison......"

Wang Yajiao knew that it was better to talk to Ishihara Waner directly. Before coming into contact with Ishihara, Wang Yajiao had already conducted an extremely in-depth understanding and research on him.

This knowledge is not limited to paper, but also to the interrogation of many officers and soldiers who have been in contact with Ishihara. From their mouths, get an impression of Ishihara Waner.

Then, combined with the various information provided in the dossier, Wang Yajiao came to a general conclusion. There is no need to tell a lie when talking to this person.

If you do that, you're only going to make things worse. Therefore, opening the skylight and speaking brightly is what Wang Yajiao should do.

"Is this what you keep me ...... existing" Ishihara couldn't help but smile bitterly, while Wang Yajiao just smiled and waved his hand.

"Mr. Ishihara, please don't be in a hurry to refuse. There are now more than three million prisoners of war in China. They need to pay for their participation in this war......"

"According to the rules of the joint zhengfu, these people will have to complete the designated work and complete their hard labor before they can be released." Wang Yajiao still looked like a smile, but this smile made Ishihara shudder.

"Even the lightest of them were sentenced to fifteen years in prison. I believe that if you cooperate with us, a certain number of people who have behaved well will receive a reduced ...... sentence."

Ishihara was silent, and millions of RI himself were in labor in China. What this means is better than anyone else. The war cost Riben millions of men, which caused Riben to experience a period of low chaos and chaos for a long time after the war.

If we want to stabilize our population, an appropriate proportion of the population will be indispensable. The Wehrmacht threatened itself with this in order to force itself into their hands.

Even for the sake of those millions of lives, Ishihara had to agree. Otherwise, how many people will survive to the end of their service can only depend on the mood of the Wehrmacht.

If they are in a good mood, perhaps more people can live until the end of their hard work. But many more are likely to die directly in the period of hard labor.

"Why are you looking for me and not anyone else?! I'm sure there will be a better fit than me. Ishihara was silent for a long time before he said this.

"Oh, that's because we need more power from Riben. In this way, stability can be maintained without sliding back into the abyss of militarism. ”

Wang Yajiao said with a smile: "For example, we have demolished the Yasukuni Shrine. Everywhere the so-called 'priests' were sentenced. The area has been converted into a public toilet and is now visited by many people every day......"

Wang Yajiao's words made Ishihara's face extremely blue. Yasukuni Shrine, which was built by decree of Emperor Meiji Moto. This shrine is dedicated to soldiers and their families who died in battle for the Nihoni Empire since the Meiji Restoration, but unlike other shrines, it has been managed exclusively by the Rihon's military and is a symbol of national Shinto.

But now, this shrine has been demolished directly. Turned into a toilet?! The priests who once served the shrine are now war criminals.

Thinking of this, Ishihara felt unacceptable.

"I suggest you don't think about it so much, this shrine is designated by our commander-in-chief to be demolished!" But seeing Wang Yajiao, he smiled coldly and said, "If we don't demolish here, we will demolish the entire RI book." Of course, you can choose how we want to dismantle it. ”

Wang Yajiao's words made Ishihara silent again. The expansion of RIBEN inevitably necessitated an attack on China. The victories since the Meiji Restoration were the result of a constant effort to cut meat from China.

The First Sino-Japanese War, the Eight-Nation Allied War of Aggression against China, the Russo-Japanese War, the First World War, the September 18 Incident, the July 7 Incident...... And so on, riben is rising step by step. It was all the result of lying on him and sucking blood when the once incomparably powerful country was weak.

Now, the giant has woken up. He began to wield a big stick to ask Riben to pay off the blood debts that Riben once owed, but unfortunately Riben couldn't pay these blood debts.

So, the giant will choose to destroy everything that he thinks can be considered a blood debt.

"There are also enshrined the heroes of the Meiji Restoration, do you want to destroy them......" After a long time, Ishihara said to Wang Yajiao.

"That's the hero of Riben, and it has nothing to do with us. At the same time, I remember that many heroes of the Meiji Restoration participated in the aggression against us. But seeing that Wang Yajiao was still sneering, he said to Ishihara: "These people have owed a lot of blood debts, and now we just smash his worship seat and build a toilet......

"According to our tradition, they should be pulled out of the coffin and whipped."

Wang Yajiao's words made Ishihara Wan'er feel a chill. Only then did he realize that he was not dealing with a good person. but an enemy who owes a great blood debt!

"Maybe you don't believe it, but I want to say it. One thing I had longed for was that a strong China and a strong RIBEN would join forces to challenge a world dominated by white men. ”

"Because of this dream, I cheered for the success of Xinhai when I served in North Korea." Ishihara sat on a chair and sighed at Wang Yajiao.

"But unfortunately, you didn't get strong after Xinhai. I was still so poor that I despaired of my dreams. Perennial warlord scuffle, famine everywhere. Opium, selling **, bandits......"

"I've spent a lot of time looking for answers all over China. But what I saw made me even more desperate. Ishihara said with a wry smile: "The warlords don't care about anyone's life or death at all, they only care about their own interests......

"They are cunning and liaring, flattering me just so that they can get the support of Riben in exchange for arms. Let them keep grabbing land and killing their own compatriots......"

When Ishihara said this, he paused and said, "So, at that time, I began to think. China needs education, and we are well suited to do that......"

Wang Yajiao frowned and did not speak. In fact, he had to admit that Ishihara was partly true of these words.

During the warlord war, famine in China was endless. There was chaos everywhere, and there was a struggle for power for either one. Few of them took care of the people.

They are full of righteousness, but in fact, they are all men and women. They are willing to spend money to marry their own concubines, but they are not willing to spend a penny for disaster relief.

From 1920 to 1921, the four provinces and regions of North China**: more than 10 million people died and 30 million people were affected. In 1925, Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces**, the number of deaths is unknown.

1928-1930 Eight Northern Provinces**: More than 13 million people died. This was a catastrophe dominated by drought and combined with locusts, wind, snow, hail, flood, and epidemic, with Shaanxi and Gansu as the center, covering the eight provinces of Shanxi, Suiyuan, Hebei, Chahar, Rehe, and Henan, and affecting one or most of Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, and Guizhou.

The disaster lasted from 1928 to 1930, causing countless people to flee the wasteland, and about 10 million people died of starvation in the wasteland. Shaanxi, with a population of 13 million, has been starved and died of epidemics by more than 3 million people and displaced by more than 6 million people, accounting for 70% of the province's population. The number of refugees is estimated at around 50 million......

At this time, the average life expectancy of Chinese was only 35 years, which was 5 years higher than the average life expectancy of later generations of Africans......

Such a ruined country really cannot raise any glimmer of hope. Even if Wang Yajiao was extremely angry in his heart, he had to admit that if he stood in Ishihara's position, he might not have done such a thing.

"My initial idea was just to divide the three eastern provinces. There I put my ideas into practice, but unfortunately my colleagues apparently did not want me to do so. Saying that, Ishihara Wan'er smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, your commander-in-chief will not agree to me doing this......

"And what happened next is completely out of control. With His Majesty's acquiescence and connivance, a large number of army and navy officers began to find ways to start wars, and at this time I thought about stopping them. But the heart is powerless......"

"The first battle of Songhu completely exposed the weakness of the national government. This is one of the reasons for the full-scale invasion of China by RIBEN......"

When these words came out, Wang Yajiao could only smile bitterly. The RI Army was dispatched with nine divisions and one brigade. 300,000 people in total. At that time, the government mobilized seventy divisions and seven brigades.

More than 700,000 people in total, albeit with a numerical superiority and an early preponderance in the beginning of the war. The Wehrmacht was eventually defeated at Songhu. The RI army lost more than 50,000 men, and the losses of the national government are simply impossible to count.

All that can be known is that a corps commander, a division commander and four deputy division commanders were killed.

And at the beginning, even the ** Fifth Army could not force the thousands of Riben Marines with the strength of five divisions. It was still a night attack, but it didn't come down......

Who is to blame for this?! The soldiers used their lives at that time, and there were more than a dozen generals who died in battle. And the countless soldiers who flocked to the battlefield and finally died under the fire of the RI army are even more numerous.

"At the time, if you withstood the attack. Maybe this war won't happen......" Ishihara's words made Wang Yajiao silent.

No one knows the cause and effect of this matter better than him. At that time, Ishihara insisted on a policy of not expanding the war. It is even hoped that China will not be overly stimulated.

But alas, the military headquarters at that time was already occupied by hardliners and radicals. Shortly after the outbreak of the battle, RIBEN issued an order to dispatch the 9th, 13th, and 101st Divisions and the 3rd Flying Regiment to Shanghai.

At the same time, Ishihara, then chief of operations of the General Staff Headquarters, immediately submitted his resignation.

"It's all in the past, and it's useless to talk about it." Wang Yajiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it now, what kind of riben do you want to see?!" ”

Now, it was Ishihara's turn to be silent.

"I ...... Are there any other options......"

The aircraft carrier of the Wehrmacht Navy's combined fleet, the "Dadonggou," slowly approached the port of Jinmen, and Tu Menghu stood solemnly in a military uniform without armbands and epaulettes on the port.

On the battleship, everyone stood on the side of the ship and shouted loudly at the tiger: "The aircraft carrier of the United Fleet of the Wehrmacht Navy 'Dadonggou'!" Greetings to the Commander-in-Chief!! ”

After drinking these words, he saw that the soldiers on the battleship all stood up and gave a solemn military salute to the slaughtering tiger on the pier.

Tu Menghu looked at these navy soldiers and smiled. Laughter and even tears came out, and he thought of the general of the later generations. That general once visited the aircraft carrier of the American army.

This veteran general, who had been in the army since the time of the Agrarian Revolutionary War and was the commander of the Navy at the time, looked at the helicopter of the American army with such eagerness.

When the old general looked at the US aircraft carriers and US fighters, his eyes were full of anticipation.

The old man wanted to build an aircraft carrier for the Chinese Navy, and the old man worked hard all his life for this. But unfortunately, until the old man died, we still did not see our own aircraft carrier launched.

At the moment before the flame of life was extinguished, the old man was even thinking about the aircraft carrier. Thinking of building an aircraft carrier of its own for this country with millions of square kilometers of sea territory.

"Respect! The heroic martyrs of my navy!! I don't know when Tu Menghu was already in tears, he took the wine bowl handed by the adjutant next to him, and said loudly to the naval soldiers who saluted him.

"Respect! I am a Chinese hero. Respect! Warriors of my homeland!! Tu Menghu burst into tears and drank the bowl of wine.

At this time, the faces of the naval soldiers on the side of the ship turned red with excitement. This sentence is enough. Those comrades-in-arms who died on the battlefield, those soldiers who once sacrificed their lives.

Those colleagues who lost their hands and feet and were forced to leave the active army. This sentence is enough.

The wind blew suddenly, but it was like the return of those heroic spirits who had fought for this country but were unwilling to watch it sink. The cloak on the tiger was grinning.

Then, heavy rain fell. In the rain, Tu Menghu slowly boarded the battleship, which was the first time he boarded a naval battleship and set sail. The fighters all wanted to be able to show their best side in front of the commander-in-chief.

Everyone was working hard and meticulously to complete their work, but Tu Menghu was watching the sea from the side of the ship.

This is our warship, this is our navy. The once weak Chinese Navy no longer exists. The Chinese Navy here is a powerful navy with more than ten aircraft carriers, dozens of battleships, and cruisers.

Today's China is no longer a semi-colonial, semi-feudal country. Now China is a powerful country with millions of troops, even the European and American powers need to look sideways!

And now I am going to accept the formal and unconditional surrender of Ri himself!!
