"The 57th Army has captured Kowloon Street and is now across the sea from Hong Kong Island! The commander of the army has issued an ultimatum to the British Governor in Hong Kong, ordering him to surrender within 48 hours! ”

"The Sixth Army is marching on French Indochina in three directions! The 55th Army went out of Zhennanguan, the 65th Army went out of Jingxi, and the 68th Army attacked Laojie - all roads are going well! ”

"The Philippine contingent of the 3rd Fleet has arrived in Manila Bay! The enemy fleet is stationed in the harbor, and the task force is engaged with the enemy battery...... The advance force of the Seventh Army is marching on Lingayen Bay and Subic Bay on landing ships! ”

"The Baikal Special Maneuver Cluster has advanced towards Kyakhta!"

"The mobile clusters of the Fifth Army are advancing towards Almaty!"

……

At 17:30 Beijing time on December 26 (23:30 Hawaii time on December 25), the East Asia United Base Camp in Beijing's Xinhua Palace is running at full speed.

Sixteen hours ago, China and Japan declared war on the United States.

At about 2 o'clock in the morning, when the city of Beijing was still sinking in the deep darkness, thousands of miles away, the mobile force air attack team flew to Pearl Harbor, and the commander sent a telegram saying "Chibi has succeeded" -- that is, "the surprise attack has been successful......

At half past five o'clock in the morning, most of the congressmen who were still asleep were awakened by the ringing of their telephones and the sound of car horns outside their doors, and they were dragged to the congressional chamber in a daze, and each of them was stuffed with a "bill on declaring war against the United States and starting the war of liberation in Asia." ”

The anti-war Komeito and Social Democratic Party MPs have not yet reacted, and the MPs of the ruling three-party alliance and the opposition (far-right) coalition have already thrown their hats and cheered, and the cheers completely drowned out the sound of the bill being read out on the loudspeakers.

"Hooray! Banzai...... Long live the Empire! Long live the East Asia Alliance! ”

"Long live the War of Liberation of Asia! Down with the colonial bandits! ”

"Respect the emperor, the world is the same! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

"Vote! Vote! Vote now! ”

Komeito President Tan Sitong rushed to the speaker's seat under the cover of his party's members: "I ask for a ...... to speak"

There was a roar of anger around him: "What do you want to do?" Lackeys of Caucasian robbers? ”

"A traitor who forgets his roots, a traitor! Down with this two-devil dog traitor! ”

"Do you want to be the enemy of the people of Asia Minor?"

"Traitors get out of the country!"

"How dare you rebel against the holy will! Damn anti-thieves! How much good the Anglo-American barbarians have given you! ”

Hats, gloves, and even pocket watches and walking sticks rained down, and the speaker hurriedly turned up the radio to the fullest, shouting: "Quiet, quiet, gentlemen...... Well, I declare that the vote is now open! ”

"You will be the sinners of history!" A Komeito lawmaker shouted with a fist.

There was laughter all around, and a young councillor pointed to his nose and responded, "What about you? You are now the sinner of history! ”

The vote was held by a show of hands, and of the 507 members of the House of Councillors and the House of Representatives (three absent due to illness), only 63 members of the Komeito Party and the Social Democratic Party did not raise their hands, and the bill passed without incident.

At 8:30 a.m., Prime Minister Ma Feng delivered a radio speech on behalf of the imperial decree, announcing: "The US government is greedy for the joy of colonial enslavement, refuses to proclaim the royal way with the empire and uphold human justice, but instead strictly pursues a policy of hostility to the empire, suppresses our trade with unequal treaties, divides our alliance by despicable means, and threatens our coastal defense with artillery and giant ships...... I have no choice but to go to war with the United States! ”

At the same time, at the "request of the oppressed nations", the empire and its allies will "carry out the royal mandate of heaven, in order to eradicate all the tyrannical and unjust colonial regimes on the land of Asia, liberate the enslaved and oppressed peoples, and uphold justice in the world, the army and navy of the East Asian Alliance will immediately march to the Philippines, Indochina, 'Northern Mongolia', 'Outer Western Regions' and other places!" ”

In addition, the Reich immediately abolished all unequal clauses in foreign treaties from 1840 onwards, and recovered all foreign concessions in China, as well as British-occupied Hong Kong, including Kowloon Street.

At half past ten, the British ambassador met with Chinese Foreign Minister Chen Siguang and handed over an ultimatum demanding that the Chinese troops stop marching on Kowloon Street within six hours and withdraw completely. ”

After that, he met with the ambassadors of Russia, France, the Netherlands, and Portugal.

The Russian ambassador asked for an explanation of the statement about the advance of the East Asian coalition forces into "Northern Mongolia" and the "Outer Western Regions": "Does this mean a declaration of war on Russia? ”

"We will work for the liberation of the peoples of Asia who have fallen into colonial slavery by the West, and we will not hesitate to use force to do so."

"There are no colonialized and enslaved peoples in the land of the Russian Empire, and if you want to say anything, you should first liberate the ethnic minorities in your land who were colonized and enslaved by the Han Chinese." The Russian ambassador retorted.

"You're talking nonsense with your eyes open, Your Excellency, I don't think we have anything to talk about." Chen Siguang immediately issued an eviction order.

The next French ambassador was a little soft: "...... I implore you, my country, not to easily impose war on innocent people, please cherish peace, hard-won peace...... Let's go back to the negotiating table and solve the problem with dialogue, yes, I have been instructed and I will do my best and we will definitely reach a mutually acceptable peace treaty......"

"I just want to ask, will you withdraw from Indochina and end your criminal colonial slavery?"

The French ambassador stood up suddenly: "Joke, what a joke, advanced civilizations should naturally help backward civilizations, colonial enslavement?" No, no, no, France is about freedom, equality, fraternity, and we have always been against slavery, yes, against the enslavement of those ...... Those weak peoples, you know, we have not enslaved anyone......"

"It's a pity that what I know is the opposite, we haven't forgotten what happened 30 years ago, the locals haven't forgotten, and you don't want to pretend to forget. Now, it's time to atone for your sins, and if your government takes voluntary atonement for granted, you can always come back to me. Chen Siguang raised his head proudly.

Once-proud white robbers, now, bow your sinful heads!

Originally, Chen Siguang expected to receive a "letter of mourning" from the British side when the ultimatum expired at 4:30 p.m., so he waited in the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 4 o'clock and waited for an hour and a half, but he did not see a single person, so he called the base camp to inquire.

"Don't wait, let's come over for a meeting first."

Prime Minister Ma Feng on the other end of the phone explained.

Ma Feng hung up the phone and returned to the conference table, where important ministers from the cabinet and the military department were all there, and they had been watching the progress of the war all day, especially on the Hawaiian side.
