Chapter 1205: Post-War Domination
Japan officially surrendered, and the news spread around the world. The allies cheered for this, and all the Allied media rushed to cover it.
A large number of Wehrmacht's war against Japan was revealed, and the image of the Wehrmacht's applied operations spread around the world with various biographies and interviews. Once again, the Wehrmacht and the Tigers were in the spotlight of the world.
And Tu Menghu once again appeared on the cover of Time magazine. As always, under his picture is written a line in Chinese - Tiger of the Far East!
At the same time, Hirohito returned to his imperial palace with a dead face. Quietly waiting for the verdict from Tu Menghu, but Tu Menghu didn't have time to pay attention to him now.
Because he is now planning for Japan's post-war recovery and division of power.
In the early days, Tu Menghu did consider including Japan directly within China's territory. Even thought of a series of ruling processes.
But with the coalition government's assessment, Tu Menghu knew it was impossible. Japan is not a long-term colonized country like Southeast Asia, where only a small ruling class has been emptied.
It will be able to fill it with policy and population. Japan, after all, is a country that was once glorious. In the early years, they were not even at war with China.
Although most of these wars ended in defeat. But in the end, they were stronger, and most importantly, their people are now educated at a completely different level than those savages in Southeast Asia.
If the coalition government and the IDF are overly repressive, it is likely to lead to an extreme backlash. When the time comes, the slightest provocation by external forces will turn this place into a huge powder keg.
The coalition government obviously cannot accept this as a powder keg, and what the coalition government and the Wehrmacht need is to become a bridgehead for China. Bridgehead to the Western Pacific.
So, after going through a series of evaluations and calculations. The coalition government and the General Staff of the Wehrmacht jointly developed a strategy for the domination of Japan.
In short, it's about propping up some agents here, similar to North Korea. Let them control Japan's political power, and military power is absolutely undeliverable.
All Japanese troops will be dismantled. In its place, the police force will be replaced, and all former military responsibilities will be placed under the responsibility of the Defence Force.
Japan does not need an army. There must also be no army. This was a consensus between the coalition government and the National Defense Forces, and both sides agreed that Japan was not Korea. It is not necessary to have an army.
North Korea, at least once a loyal supporter of China. Japan, on the other hand, will only pounce on China like a vicious dog when it is weak.
"Chinese parents also, China and Japan are both foreign countries, such as children. In other words, if his parents are to his son, then my country is also a filial son, and a Japanese thief is also. This is from the words of King Seonjo of Joseon in volume 37 of the "Seonjo Record", which seems to explain something.
At least for the coalition government, North Korea is still relatively reliable. And Japan. It's completely unreliable. We need to be on guard and vigilant at all times.
It is easy not to let them gain power, otherwise these people will try their best to infringe on China's interests.
"Wang Jiuguang and my eldest brother Hanqing have already told you about your situation, and now that I see you, I can be sure that you can be responsible for the future of Japan."
In his office, Tu Menghu borrowed the Tokugawa family and others who came to visit. But the tiger smiled and said to the men: "You have proven your ability, but what we need at the same time is your loyalty. ”
"Between China and Japan. There have been too many wars. Some careerists and idiots, pushing our two countries into opposition. These people must be eliminated, and only the brave can sustain our relationship. ”
The Tokugawa family and the others bowed deeply to the slaughtering tiger to express their gratitude. No one is stupid, and even less a family that has been in the political storm for centuries.
They all knew that they could be recommended by Zhang Xueliang and Wang Yajiao to come to Tu Menghu. Then it means that this matter has roughly been decided.
What is needed now is confirmation from the general. Only with his confirmation. It is only the dominance of oneself that has legitimacy. Otherwise, even if you rule Japan yourself, you will only be doing it behind the scenes.
"I regret the affairs of the Mori family and the Shimazu family. But I don't feel sad about it, it's just a matter of predestination. But seeing Tu Menghu smile at the group of people: "What we need to learn is to accept." ”
"After the surrender, Japan will soon enter the election phase. Trust me, you're going to get the seats you're happy with. But at the same time, believe me even more if you lose your loyalty because of this. Then it's all going to disappear......"
When Tokugawa Iemasa and the others heard this, they broke out in a cold sweat, and goosebumps suddenly rose all over their bodies. They thought about the fate of the Mori family and the Shimazu family, and those who escaped from the house did not survive.
After they launched an attack on the Tokugawa house. They were then dumped in their respective homes. When they were thrown in, they were all dead. And the death was miserable.
The Tokugawa family believed that if he tried to disobey the tiger's orders. Then the end of the Tokugawa family will not be much better than these two.
The fight against this tiger is not a fight against the Maori family in Japan. Even if it fails. They will also take into account their status and former influence, and at most they will contain them without going all out to exterminate them.
But this tiger may not be able to do this. For the tiger, the best fate for anyone who disobeys his orders is to die outright. And even worse, the whole race will be wiped out.
"Tokugawa will offer all his allegiance to China. Loyalty is also our only bargaining chip, so Tokugawa will never dare to tarnish it......"
The Tokugawa family slowly got up, bowed deeply to Tu Menghu and said, "Only when China is prosperous, can we be prosperous." Tokugawa knew this better than anyone else......"
Tu Menghu nodded with satisfaction, he likes people who are interested in knowing youth. Before he arrived, Wang Yajiao had already handed over all the investigations of the Tokugawa family to the General Staff.
And on the battleship, Tu Menghu also went through all these materials. Both the General Staff and the coalition government assessed that the Tokugawa family was the best family to serve as the spokesperson for China at the moment.
The Tokugawa family did not only rule Japan for a long time. At the same time, there are many supporters among the people. And they will step into the foreground from behind the scenes again, and there will be a lot less resistance.
Moreover, this is relatively reassuring to those Japanese people. After all, the coalition government has little interest in an area full of earthquakes and volcanoes.
Limited human resources are prioritized in Southeast Asia. That's the best fertile ground. Everywhere there is a climate of three crops in one season, and everywhere there are abundant resources.
These are the places that will make the coalition government concerned. If Japan's former gold and silver mines had not been mined, perhaps the coalition government would be interested.
But now the country is no different from an empty shell for a coalition government. The skilled workers and a large amount of machinery and equipment have been relocated to China as war reparations.
The rest of the land. The coalition government did not have much interest. But the location of this place is important. So that the Wehrmacht will not be able to give up this place easily.
So in this situation, a compromise plan was introduced. That is, after the military has been cut and the war criminals have been tried, it will be ruled as a country with the same status as North Korea.
Among them there will be some spokesmen for their interests, who will be largely autonomous in politics and diplomacy. And the important affairs, and the military, are completely under the control of China.
"Go ahead! Soon, elections will begin in Japan. Good preparation. I would like to see the grand occasion of the Japanese elections, and when you are elected, we will send someone to confirm your identity......"
After saying this, Tu Menghu lowered his head and picked up the teacup. Serving tea to guests, everyone understands what it means. So the Tokugawa family and others said goodbye very well.
Tu Menghu was very satisfied with their acquaintance and asked his lieutenant to send them away. At the same time, pick up Hirohito when he returns.
Soon. Hirohito, led by his lieutenant, slowly stepped into the office. Tu Menghu looked at the Japanese emperor with glasses with a little interest, and thought it was very interesting.
Hirohito is not strong and even looks thin. He is polite and wears a pair of glasses. Seeing Tu Menghu looking at him, Hirohito bowed slightly as a greeting.
"Hirohito...... I finally met you, but I used to wonder how we would meet, or if we wouldn't have a chance to meet. But seeing Tu Menghu smiled and said softly: "But what I didn't expect was that we still met." And it was in a way I didn't expect......"
Hirohito was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Tu Menghu to say such a thing when he saw him for the first time.
"Okay, now that we've met, we'll talk about it." Tu Menghu didn't seem to want to continue the conversation. smiled and said to Hirohito: "Japan needs to be responsible for the war of aggression against China. And you, as the leader of Japan, need to be more responsible. You don't have any objection to that, right?! ”
"I ...... No, I have no objection......" Hirohito habitually wanted to say "I". But then it was changed to "I". But I saw Hirohito sigh and said: "The matter has come to this, what can the husband say?!" You dispose of it as ......"
Tu Menghu looked at Hirohito with a broken jar, and couldn't help laughing. saw him say to Hirohito: "Don't worry, you won't die at least for the time being." ”
"You can live until I need you to die. Of course, your throne must be relinquished. And you and your family will be prosecuted. But seeing Tu Menghu smiled and said, "You won't die for the time being, if you want to ...... in the future?" It's up to you to behave......"
Tu Menghu's early thought was that Hirohito had to die. However, after Yan Zhengqing and others, they believed that once Hirohito died, the coalition government would have less control over Yongren.
The newly appointed Yongren may not be completely of the same mind as China. If he had had any other thoughts after the war, the coalition government would have been passive.
If Hirohito is alive, then he can use it as a bargaining chip for the coalition government to covertly inform Yongren: We can lift you up, and at the same time, we can beat you down.
Be honest and obedient, the throne is yours. If you want to play any tricks, then it is not for nothing that you are qualified to be qualified. I believe that even if Yongren has any ideas at that time, he will think twice under this threat.
"Man is a sword, I am a fish. Isn't everything up to the commander-in-chief?! Below, it sounds like ......" Hirohito's face was very unpleasant.
Obviously, as an old politician, he also saw the intentions of Tu Menghu. But what can he do?! In the current situation. He had no other choice.
"Don't dress yourself up so innocently and pitifully, the Chinese people who died under the poisonous gas of Japanese guns are even more innocent and pitiful!"
But he saw Tu Menghu look at Hirohito coldly and said: "I don't understand what you are thinking, when you set foot on my motherland with swords and guns, I don't see the slightest misery of my compatriots." Even to take pleasure in slaughtering my compatriots! ”
"But when we set foot on your land, you seemed so aggrieved and so pitiful. What to pack. You're just a bunch of brutes. ”
Tu Menghu looked at Hirohito coldly, until his scalp was numb, and then he said: "Originally, I thought that I wanted to clean up your entire Japanese imperial family." ”
"But according to the assessment of our headquarters, this is likely to lead to instability in Japan. And if you don't have such a little effect, do you think you still have a chance to live?! ”
Hirohito stopped talking, but looked at the tiger in silence. What did those Japanese troops do in China. He knew it all too well. Even the order to launch gas bombs was authorized by him.
If not, where did the Japanese army get so much audacity to carry out these things?! And those bacteriological units and poison gas units were also established with his tacit or direct consent.
These things, he actually knows better than anyone else. Maybe it's because he's been living too smoothly, Hirohito never thought about what it would be like to be retaliated against by others once he sat down for such a thing.
Again, many Japanese people don't think about this. So. They did these things at that time. In the last plane, we were caught up in a massive civil war after the war, and we didn't have time to take care of Japan.
And in this time and space, the Tiger Tu defeated Japan at a time when the whole world had no time to take care of Japan. And so, revenge ensued. Tu Menghu never intended to let these people live.
"Let's go back! You will live, for a while. But he saw Tu Menghu and said softly: "You will live until the moment I let you die......"
Hirohito didn't speak again, and Tu Menghu waved his hand for the adjutant to take Hirohito down. And then came in. It is Ishihara Wan'er, who Tu Menghu once dealt with.
Today's Ishihara Waner is no longer the high-spirited adjutant he was back then, and he is now as down-and-out as a lost dog. appeared in front of Tu Menghu with bracelets and anklets.
"I didn't expect it, Staff Officer Ishihara. We'll meet in that situation. Tu Menghu asked the prison personnel who had come with Ishihara to remove his bracelet and anklets.
"I didn't expect it, I always thought that I would never have the opportunity to meet the general in this life." Ishihara Wan'er rubbed his aching hand and said with a wry smile: "It made you smile......"
"There's nothing to laugh at, the winner is the prince and the loser. When you started this war, you should have thought of today. Tu Menghu was not interested in turning a corner with Ishihara Wan'er, but he saw him talking to Ishihara Wan'er.
"I asked you to come here to tell you something to your face. I need stability in Japan, and what I need is for you to pay. You won't have more armies, but most of you can continue to exist. That's probably the best news......"
"You will be sentenced. However, they will receive a reduced sentence. The way forward is up to you. But he saw Tu Menghu say to Ishihara: "If you go crooked, then Japan will not have it again." ”
"This is my last chance for you, take it. You will have a chance to stand up, but you can't hold ......," Tu Menghu smiled slightly. Didn't speak again.
Ishihara was immediately taken away by the adjutant, and for the next few days. One after another, some people were received by Tu Menghu, and many more people only looked at the appearance and did not receive any reception......
After the signing of the unconditional surrender agreement, all Japanese forces began to surrender to the Wehrmacht. A large amount of weapons and industrial equipment was completely seized.
All the belongings deposited in the treasury of the Japanese Imperial Court and the coffers of major consortia were confiscated. A large number of Japanese capital forces were eliminated, and the various nobles who had participated in the war began to be liquidated.
The trial of these people began to enter the proceedings. The International Military Tribunal was established in Tokyo, and the presiding judge was naturally from the Chinese side. The remaining deputy presiding judges were sent by other countries of the allied countries.
The United States sent a ** officer to serve as the deputy presiding judge, while the United Kingdom also sent a ** officer. The USSR sent its own presiding judge.
Everything seems to be in order, but in reality nearly half a million people were convicted without any trial and sent to China.
Among them were the designers of the Zero fighter, the chief engineer of the Nakajima aircraft factory. There are also a large number of skilled workers, and a large number of engineers.
At the same time as organizing the trial, the American side began to send its own tugboats to the Fukuoka Inland Sea. More than 100 ships of various types sailed to Japan, and this was the Yamato, which was requested by the Wehrmacht to salvage "evidence of war".
As a matter of fact, when the Wehrmacht made this request, the US side was very helpless. The salvage of the Yamato is undoubtedly a high-tech job. To salvage a warship with a displacement of 65,000 tons, even the United States itself felt that it was not very sure.
But now that the Wehrmacht has asked for it, and there is no risk that they have solved the troubles in the Pacific. So the United States decided to help anyway.
