In the city of Tokyo, countless Japanese are dragging their families to evacuate. The main fleet of the Chinese Navy was killed in Tokyo Bay, which could scare these Japanese enough. Originally, many Japanese people thought that Tokyo was safe as the capital of Japan. However, now they know that even Tokyo is still under the guns of the Chinese Navy.

The road out of downtown Tokyo is crowded with many Japanese people. Horse-drawn carts and animal-powered carts are crowded with water. Millions of Japanese people living in Tokyo want to flee at this time, which inevitably causes traffic jams.

Everyone wanted to escape Tokyo before the Chinese navy attacked, but the road was blocked, so that none of them could escape.

"Baga, those lowly civilians, they blocked the road, how can we leave. What about the police? Why don't you come to ease the traffic? "In a carriage, a middle-aged Japanese man sticks his head out of the carriage window, looking impatient.

Most of the people who could own a carriage were from relatively wealthy families. Naturally, they also value their lives more.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

Suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky. The Japanese, who were about to flee, raised their heads blankly and looked at the sky.

"Shelling! Damn, the shelling of the Chinas came. Yesterday evening, it was such a sound. "There were some Japanese who had experienced yesterday's shelling, staring at the sky in horror. They managed to escape from yesterday's shelling, and they were already in a state of panic.

Soon, the shell fell to the ground and exploded. The brilliant light of the fire shone before the eyes of these Japanese, and the shock wave generated by the explosion of the shells tore them all to pieces in an instant, leaving a large crater in the street. Around. There were stumps and severed arms scattered everywhere, and blood was sprayed everywhere, as if it were a hellish scene.

"Ahh Run for your life! "The Japanese, who were not affected by the shells, were frightened and fled for their lives as if they were headless flies. The cries of children, the exclamations of women. and the wails of those who were seriously wounded and dying, all together.

It's just that the rumbling of cannons is like thunder, masking these sounds.

"Boom!" A shell hit a three-storey building. The building was shattered in one fell swoop, and at the same time caused a large fire. The collapsed buildings killed many Japanese. The flames spread everywhere, and many Japanese were burned alive.

Shells continue to fall into the city of Tokyo, destroying buildings everywhere and the whole city. Step by step, it is turning into ruins.

The first to be attacked was Chiyoda Ward, in addition to Minato-ku. It is home to the Imperial Palace of Japan and the heart of Tokyo. The shelling of this area would be a more effective blow to the Japanese determination to resist.

"Yaga, those damned Shina people, they slaughtered civilians like this, Amaterasu will never forgive them." Hiding in the basement of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Meiji said through gritted teeth. Now, his face was flushed. It doesn't look like a seriously ill person at all. Of course, some experienced people can feel it clearly. Emperor Meiji: It seems that the time has come to return to the light.

"Your Majesty, the people of China are going to destroy the whole of Tokyo! What are we going to do? Minister of the Interior Hara Kei asked.

Emperor Meiji was also silent, and Japan no longer had the power to stop the atrocities of the Chinese navy. Unless China agrees to those conditions, the Chinese navy's attacks will not stop. It's just that those conditions are too harsh.

"Your Majesty. Now that the Great Japanese Empire has reached the most critical juncture, we have no other choice but to agree to the conditions of the Shina people, otherwise Japan will be doomed. Youpeng of Shan County said solemnly.

Albeit. The conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire were so harsh that they would almost drive Japan to a dead end. However, Japan has always been able to survive. As long as Japan continues to exist, then they have a chance to turn the tables again. But if there is no Japan left, then it will be the real end.

Emperor Meiji looked lonely, and after a while, he said, "Okay, telegraph to the Saionji Gongwang and accept the Chinese's conditions." However, in the negotiations, he must strive for Japan's interests as much as possible. ”

"Hey!" Shan County Youpeng nodded heavily.

The Japanese government immediately contacted Gongwang and Lin Dong of Xiyuan Temple in China, asking them to start negotiations as soon as possible. Now, Japan doesn't have much time to waste. Not a minute was wasted, and one more shell exploded in Japan.

However, even if the Japanese government has made a choice. But it will also take time to be able to pass it on to the Chinese Navy. Therefore, the shelling of Tokyo by the main fleet of the Chinese Navy did not stop because of this.

Since the Edo period, Tokyo has been the center of Japanese domination. This is the most important city in Japan. But now, Japan is about to experience an unprecedented catastrophe. The shelling of Tokyo by the main fleet of the Chinese Navy lasted for a full hour before it ended. The four capital ships, each of which fired hundreds of shells, a total of more than 2,000 high-explosive shells, plowed the port of Tokyo as well as Chiyoda Ward.

After the end of the shelling, the main fleet of the Imperial Navy did not withdraw, but waited for orders. The shelling just now is nothing more than an appetizer. Although only a part of the urban area of Tokyo was destroyed, the casualties caused were certainly not small, enough to make the Japanese feel distressed. Under such circumstances, will the Japanese continue to hold out?

"Give the brothers a break. If the Japanese continue to insist, we will continue to open fire and destroy the rest of Tokyo. "Admiral Sa Zhen Bing gave the order. Although, the order to bombard Tokyo made him known all over the world as an executioner and a butcher. However, in the Chinese Empire, he was a hero, the soul of the Imperial Navy.

Although each of the main guns of the capital ships of the Imperial Navy was not equipped with auxiliary reloading machinery such as loafers, even so, loading shells and propellants was still a physical task. The gunners of the Imperial Navy were already tired enough.

After the shelling stopped, the gunners could also take a little rest. The Imperial Navy's six 'B-class' destroyers and six 'A-class' destroyers were cruising around. They have to put an end to the crisis. Within the narrow harbor, the capital ships of the Imperial Navy were vulnerable to attack. If the Japanese Navy had hidden some torpedo boats, it would have been enough to pose a mortal threat to the capital ships of the Imperial Navy.

It was only after the artillery bombardment of the Imperial Navy that the Japanese government began to clean up the mess. Because it is not certain when the shelling of the Chinese Navy will begin. So the Japanese government is still trying to evacuate those people from Tokyo.

In fact, without the call of the Japanese government, those Japanese were already on the run. In their opinion, Tokyo is almost hell. Staying here, isn't that looking for death?

According to post-war statistics, more than 100,000 people were killed or missing in Tokyo during this round of shelling alone. The injured and homeless are countless. The direct economic loss caused is more than 1 billion yen! Indirect economic losses are not calculable.

While the Japanese were living in the midst of water and fire, the negotiations continued in the distant city of Jinmen in the Chinese Empire, at the urgent request of the Japanese representatives Xiyuanji Gongwang and Lin Donghuo.

As soon as the negotiations began, the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang was full of tears and complained about the atrocities of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

"Just now, the Chinese Navy brazenly carried out a large-scale artillery bombardment of Tokyo. More than 200,000 Japanese were killed in the shelling. Such brutality of the Chinese Empire is not at all something that a civilized country can do. The Chinese Empire had to stop shelling the coastal cities of Japan. Civilians are innocent! Xiyuan Temple Gongwang complained angrily.

"Oh God! How can the Chinese Navy do this? The British minister, Zhu Erdian, was also shocked.

However, Imperial Prime Minister Yang Du and Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi were expressionless. Isn't it just the death of 200,000 Japanese? What's all the fuss about?

As for Minister Zhu Erdian, it was just a gesture. The British are definitely not good birds, either. The Boer War, which has just ended only a few years ago, the British are also killing in South Africa, I don't know how many Boers were slaughtered by the British, and now they are good people here? It's just shameless.

"I am deeply sorry for this incident. That's war, though! When Japan started the war, you should have thought that there would be such a day. Don't say that civilians are innocent, in all the wars in Japan, which time has not more Chinese civilians moved? As long as Japan does not accept the conditions we have proposed, then the war will continue. The armies of the Chinese Empire will use all means to strike at the enemy and ensure our victory in the war. Yang Du said expressionlessly.

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and Lin Dong had gloomy faces, in fact, hundreds of thousands of Japanese were killed and injured, and they were distressed. However, they don't care too much. These so-called politicians are cold-blooded. No matter how many ordinary people die, they are of no use. The only thing that interests them, apart from national interests, is their political interests.

The Chinese Empire didn't care at all about Japan's accusations, even if it made the reputation of the Chinese Empire stinky internationally, so what was the use? Therefore, these imaginary ones are useless at all. At the end of the day, Japan has to pay a price.

"Alright, Your Excellency Yang Du. You guys won. I hope that we will be able to negotiate in real good faith! Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said. (To be continued.) )
