"Since the establishment of the Empire, there has never been a single front army in which the Great Rìben Empire has surrendered in its entirety. Since the establishment of the Great Rìben Empire, there has never been a soldier who surrenders with his clothes off and only a crotch cloth......"

Hirohito, who was on the throne, suddenly grabbed the teacup beside him and threw it on Hideki Tojo's head.

"Bang!" With a thud, the teacup shattered. Immediately, the tea and blood were mixed and flowed down Hideki Tojo's brain......

"Your Majesty ...... angry," everyone leaned down on the ground and shouted in a voice of comfort.

"How do you want me to calm my anger?! The empire has been humiliated like this, and as the emperor, I still have to be angry?! Hirohito's voice was calm, but the trembling hands showed just how angry he was right now.

North Korea is gone, and the U.S. fleet is approaching Iwo Jima. More than 2,000 sorties of Wehrmacht fighters kept him awake at night in North Korea. Now the entire royal family is forced to move into bomb shelters.

Neither the navy nor the army dared to tell themselves anything about the war. The chamberlain was killed five times with a rod, all because he accidentally brought up the war.

Embattled, the word is now perfect to describe the situation of rìmoto. China lost the battlefield, and so did the Southeast Asian theater.

North Korea is gone, Wake Island and Guam are gone. From the South China Sea to the Pacific Ocean, the long and narrow land area of the country is surrounded by enemies on all sides.

"My courtiers, you always say that you are fighting for the Empire. So, where are you at this time?! Hirohito looked at the courtiers below, and said in his originally vague but now incomparably royal language.

"One front, more than 58,000 people, surrendered. Formed into formations, handed in the flag and sabers, and even took off their clothes and pants in order to survive, and surrendered to the enemy in a crotch cloth! ”

"Could it be that this is the soldier of my Great Rì Empire?!" Hirohito said. A spasmodic smile appeared on his face: "Perhaps, this is the ...... of the soldiers of our empire"

"Your Majesty is cautious!" Hearing this, Xiyuan Temple suddenly stood up, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the empire are all warriors!" Not to mention, since the Meiji Restoration, the emperor has sacrificed his life for the empire! ”

"Your Majesty can use the actions of some soldiers. With the belief that the warriors of our empire have been denied for their lives?! "Xiyuan Temple knows better than anyone that care for the troops at this time is more important than anything.

If we don't get our military spirit in order, we may not have to attack China and the United States, and we will be in a mess ourselves. In fact, the chaos is already beginning to emerge.

Strikes, underground rallies and other problems began to occur in the arsenals everywhere, and the whole Rì himself was panicked. Hooligans and ruffians are rampant everywhere, and due to the shortage of resources, there are signs of rebellion in many places.

If it weren't for Toushanman, who used his prestige and power in the Ash Sè Zone to help Jǐngcha and zhèngfǔ settle these matters. Perhaps now the local area is full of smoke.

"My words may have gone too far, but ask yourself if you are not ashamed of being a soldier?!" Hirohito soon understood this, but as emperor, he could never admit his mistake.

"Now the country is in shambles, and war is about to ignite the empire itself. I would like to hear your views on the construction of Xìng - are we going to surrender, or are we going to continue fighting?! ”

"Wow~" When Hirohito threw out this last sentence, everyone was in an uproar. They didn't think of it. Hirohito would have surrendered on this occasion and under such circumstances!

"Your Majesty! I am categorically against surrender! We haven't lost yet, we still have the Empire proper, we have a naval fleet, and we have millions of troops! Why should we surrender?! ”

"Your Majesty! Never......"

"Your Majesty! ……”

After the shock, there was a wave of opposition. No one agreed to this proposal, and Xiyuan Temple was simply stupid. He had no idea that Hirohito would suddenly offer to surrender at the Imperial Council.

Although Hirohito once hinted at himself, surrender is not impossible. If you come to the last step, then in order to maintain the status of the imperial family in rìben, even surrender will not hesitate.

The interests of the royal family. It's the first place. The rest is the rest.

"Don't make any noise! If I only lost the Chinese battlefield, I would continue to fight. Even if you lose the battlefield in Southeast Asia together, I will allow you to fight! ”

"If there are no losses in the navy, even if North Korea loses it, we will not object to continuing the war. But how do you think we can support a war when we've lost millions of troops, our navy has been devastated, and all our resources have been depleted?! ”

"The yīn cloud of war has threatened the mainland, and we are now facing the disaster of destroying the country!" Hirohito said bitterly to the cabinet members, "If you still have the confidence to win the war, you can come up with a plan that can be won." Then I will continue to support you......"

"If not, then the cabinet will draw up a candidate to go to North Korea to seek peace talks......"

After saying that, Hirohito didn't look at the faces of these cabinet ministers and left directly. Everyone was left looking at each other in silence. They are now a little overwhelmed.

Hirohito's approach was unexpected, and now everyone is stupid and doesn't know what to do.

In the silence, Hideki Tojo, whose blood on his forehead had gradually dried up, stood up without saying a word and with a calm face. He bowed deeply to everyone and left the Imperial Council.

The rest of the people looked at Hideki Tojo's back with complicated eyes, and they knew that Hideki Tojo's future was over. He will not have a future. Both politically and within the military.

The huge losses of the DPRK, the surrender of an entire front army need someone to come out and take responsibility. And Hirohito's proposal of "either proposing a feasible combat plan, or formulating candidates to go to peace talks" was even more of a mess that killed Hideki Tojo.

Hideki Tojo couldn't come up with this, and who in the entire War Department could come up with such a plan?! If there had been a plan to win, the base camp would have done it a long time ago.

It's because they don't have that that they're forced to die here now.

"Your Majesty's painstaking efforts, I can understand ......" Ishihara Wan'er bowed deeply to the Xianyuan Palace in the courtyard of Zairen's house in the Xianyuan Palace.

"Since the Meiji Restoration, the Great Empire has made a great deal of achievements. In particular, there is a great deal of industrial achievement, which is the foundation of my empire......"

"If these foundations are not destroyed, our empire will have a chance to rise again." After a pause, Ishihara continued to the Kanin Palace: "If we choose peace talks, then we still have a chance to keep these ......"

"Even if some of it is taken away, we can still secretly keep our most important industrial base. But if the Wehrmacht had come in, they would have all been destroyed......"

"If these foundations are gone, the empire will really fall in the future......" Ishihara did not use the embarrassing word "surrender", preferring to use the word "peace talks".

"Ishihara, you mean that Your Majesty does not want the empire to be destroyed. And His Majesty's idea is to keep the hope of the Empire's final rise even if it is to surrender, right?! ”

Kanin Gong Zairen pondered for a while and asked Ishihara Wan'er.

"Your Highness, although we don't want to admit it, we must see it. It's impossible to win this war......" Ishihara sighed, "The only way to preserve ourselves is to surrender ......"

"Of course, we also have a choice of who we surrender." Ishihara paused and whispered a few words in the ear of the Xianyuan Palace.

After listening to Ishihara's words, the palace didn't squeak for a while.

"Your Highness, this is our best choice at the moment. Only in this way will we be able to preserve ourselves......" Ishihara paused and said, "Only they don't care about our industrial base, they want our design drawings and we can give them a ......"

"And for the sake of containment, I believe that they are also willing to keep our army. Even if the army cannot be retained, as long as we maintain our industrial base since the Meiji Restoration, then the empire still has a chance to rise again! ”

Xianyuan Gong Zairen pressed his palm on the table and didn't say a word. After a while, he looked up at Ishihara and said, "What about Tojo?!" He and his radical officers would not have succumbed so easily......"

Ishihara smiled, leaned down and whispered, "They'll make the right choice." If they can't do it, then only we can do it for them......"

"This is for the benefit of all subjects throughout the empire, and when sacrifice is needed. Some sacrifices are inevitable......"

North Korea, Seoul. In the headquarters of the Wehrmacht, Tu Mengben was resting. Since the start of the Third Korean Campaign, he has hardly slept a single jail.

Occasionally close your eyes and squint for a while, and it won't take long for you to get up. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and he can't afford to rest. He didn't have the heart to rest.

Only then can he sleep well.

And Su Zongzhen pinched the telegram, hesitating whether to wake up his commander. No one knows better than him how hard Tu Mengben has been during this time. In order to win the Korean campaign once and for all, he spent almost all of his food and lodging in the general staff.

And after the battle began, he went to the front line in person for fear of missing any detail.

"Sixth Uncle Qi, come in when you come......" Just at the stall where Su Zongzhe hesitated, Tu Mengben woke up. Su Zongzhe looked at his commander apologetically and said, "Seeing that you slept too soundly, I can't bear to disturb ......."

"The national shame is not settled, and we can't slack off!" Tu Mengben said with a smile: "After laying the rì book, it's not too late to rest well after the war is over." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) m. Reading. )
