Chapter 2296: Fighting for Opportunities
When Yamamoto woke up from his coma, he told his staff officers that he wanted them to help him to see the emperor.
After Yamamoto left, the people in the entire headquarters were all gloomy, and no one wanted to say more, they all knew that this time Japan was really finished, and there was no chance of turning the tables around.
Before, they were still holding out hope, because they still had a strong navy, but now, their navy was completely wiped out, and the Chinese army had landed in Australia, and just after the confrontation, their troops suffered heavy losses, and now the Chinese army is still pursuing their troops!
Some of the staff officers of those headquarters sat on the ground, some sat in their positions, and some stood looking at the door frame, no one knew whether they had a future or not!
And when Yamamoto arrived at the emperor's side, the emperor was still there to discuss the affairs of their side with a few people, and they were a little surprised when they saw Yamamoto coming, now that Japan is at war with China, Yamamoto should be in the headquarters, why did he still come here!
"Yamamoto-kun, how did you get here, and why are you so pale?" The emperor looked at Yamamoto in surprise, and he also had a bad premonition in his heart!
"Your Majesty, Weichen is a capital offense!" Yamamoto knelt down as he spoke!
"Nani, what the hell is going on, our front, there is a big rout?" When the emperor saw Yamamoto kneeling, he stood up in surprise, looked at Yamamoto and asked!
"Hey, our navy, when we fought against the Chinese side of the United United States, we were all wiped out, and the navy of the United States was also wiped out!"
"Nani?"
"Yaga!"
"How can this be, it's over, we're done!"
"Nope. Baga, how can this be, how can the navy of our empire not be the opponent of the Chinese navy! ”
"No way, is the message wrong?" When the ministers heard this, they didn't believe it, and they began to talk one after another.
And at this time, the emperor was standing there, already shaking, and the emperor's guards saw it. I'm going to hold him right away!
"Majesty, majesty, what's wrong with you"
"Majesty!"
"Your Majesty" When those people saw the emperor's appearance, they immediately shouted in surprise, and Yamamoto was still kneeling there!
"How is it possible, how can the navy of our empire be defeated, and the navy of the United States, the navy of our two countries, is actually not an opponent on the Chinese side. How can it be? The Emperor stood there, still in disbelief!
"Yamamoto-kun, is there a mistake, or is it a fake news deliberately released by the Chinese side?" A minister looked at Yamamoto and asked!
"It's a message from the United States. It's true, the navy of our empire is completely annihilated! Yamamoto said bitterly!
"Why is this happening, why is this happening. I handed over the navy of the empire to you, will you repay me like this? The Navy of the Empire. is our last hope, and now, you actually tell me that the navy of our empire has been completely wiped out! Do you want to repay me like this? The emperor excitedly pointed at Yamamoto and shouted, and Yamamoto was also kneeling there at this time, bowing his head!
"Pass on my will, Yamamoto Fifty-six, no longer as the commander-in-chief of the empire, no longer as the prime minister of the empire, and in prison!" The Emperor shouted excitedly there, and the others, hearing it, did not make any movement!
"Yaga, don't you all listen to my orders?" When the Emperor saw that the people were not moving, he immediately shouted!
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to punish Yamamoto-kun, the empire's army is still fighting, if Yamamoto-kun is taken, then, who will command those troops to fight, now there are not many high-ranking officers in our empire!" A minister reminded Yamamoto to say!
"Yes, Your Majesty, changing generals in battle, it's a taboo for soldiers!" Another minister was also there to persuade him, and they didn't want Yamamoto to be taken down now, because there were few people who could command it!
The commanders of those divisions below are not authoritative and capable enough, and the biggest problem now is not whether to deal with Yamamoto Fifty-six, but what they should do in the future!
"Yaga!" When the emperor heard the words of those ministers, he scolded angrily and directly!
"Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want with me, I Yamamoto Fifty-six has no complaints, now that this situation has occurred, I can't shirk the responsibility, but Your Majesty, where should the empire go now?
Now we have to come up with a plan, and now the Chinese army is encircling and suppressing our army units, and our troops will soon face a shortage of food and clothing.
And weapons and ammunition are also scarce, and in the face of the most powerful Chinese army in the world, we are not an opponent at all, so now we must come up with a plan! Yamamoto knelt there and said to the Emperor!
"Baga, what other plan can there be, we must fight China to the end!" The emperor heard it and shouted, and the other ministers heard it, and they all bowed their heads!
"Baga, don't you all have the courage? What about your bushido spirit, your imperial spirit! We must fight the Chinese side to the end, even if there is even the last soldier left, we must fight them to the end! When the emperor saw the reaction of the ministers, he shouted angrily.
And those ministers did not agree with what the emperor said, and they knew that continuing to confront the Chinese side now would not pose any threat to the Chinese side except for wasting weapons and ammunition on the Chinese side.
Now, they Japan has been trapped in Australia, and they can't leave at all, and there is no support from the United States, and now that their navy has been defeated, how can they give them Japanese support!
"Your Majesty, in the end, we must let the soldiers have a full stomach, and we must also let them have weapons and ammunition, do we want our soldiers to hold long knives and confront the Chinese army!" Yamamoto raised his head and said to the emperor!
"Can't you fight without food? Can't you fight without weapons? Yamamoto-kun, you disappointed me very much, I have such deep hopes for you, but what about you, on the battlefield, you have suffered defeat after defeat, and now, you actually retreated, how can the empire have a soldier like you! The emperor pointed at Yamamoto Fifty-six and scolded!
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to accuse me, now is, what should we do if we hand it over?" Yamamoto held back his anger and persuaded the emperor!
"What else can I do, I said, fight to the end!" The Emperor shouted angrily!
"Your Majesty, the one you said is impossible to succeed, those soldiers on the front line, if you fight to the end according to what you said, then those soldiers will all be broken, they are still some young children, Majesty, do you just endure letting them die?" Yamamoto raised his head and looked at the emperor and said!
"You mean the surrender of our troops? Do you think that if we surrender, the Chinese side will let us go? I tell you, that's impossible, China won't let us go! The emperor stared at Yamamoto and shouted!
"Whether they let us go or not, but at the very least, if the Chinese side accepts our surrender, those soldiers will definitely not die, Your Majesty, please give those soldiers a way to live!
The empire can no longer be called a country, why do you still want to turn the tables, in fact, we should have surrendered a long time ago, in that case, our Japanese people would not have suffered so many casualties, and our tens of millions of people on the Japanese island were all dead, and there was no life at all.
Your Majesty, wake up, the empire has long ceased to exist, Tojo-kun has long said that he hopes we can surrender, if we surrender at that time, our country will at least be a country!
But Your Majesty is bent on going your own way, in the end, look at it, you see, how many people are still on our side now, there are few people left, Your Majesty, do you have to let our nation exterminate before you are willing? Yamamoto cried and shouted there.
"Baga, you are presumptuous, hand it over to our family empire, what right do you have to say that you want us to surrender, I sue you, it is impossible for me to surrender, especially impossible to surrender to the Chinese side!" The emperor excitedly pointed at Yamamoto and scolded!
"So, do you mean that you want us all to die for the sake of the family empire?" At this time, Yamamoto had slowly calmed down, looked at the emperor and said!
"Hmph, as long as we are here, the empire is there, it is impossible for us to surrender, and you can't surrender either, otherwise, you are the sinners of the empire!" The emperor pointed at Yamamoto and scolded!
"Your Majesty, I advise you now, even if I surrender, I will die, China will definitely not let me live, I just want to find a way to live for the sake of the soldiers.
Moreover, even if you are willing to surrender, the Chinese side will not necessarily accept our surrender, but now, for the sake of your family, your royal family, you actually let the only remaining soldiers die with you, I want to ask, do you still have the people of our empire in your eyes?
You don't, since the beginning of this war, we have been your tools, I say, why so many countries hate us Japanese so much, it is because you treat us as tools, let us slaughter, slaughter so many people, let those soldiers tie to the same boat with you, so that they are loyal to you, knowing that surrender is also death, can only be loyal to you! Yamamoto shouted there!
"Yaga, someone! Drag him out for me and shoot him directly! When the emperor heard Yamamoto's words, he shouted loudly.
However, the emperor's guards did not move, they were not Yamamoto's people, but after hearing Yamamoto's words, they also knew that the empire was no longer good now, and Yamamoto was also fighting for those ordinary soldiers for a chance to live, if the emperor did not agree to surrender, then, they all had to follow the emperor to die! So, none of them moved! (To be continued......)
