9 a.m. Tokyo time.

By this time, the entire city of Tokyo had fully awakened and entered a state of orderly operation.

A telegram from the island of Kyushu broke the tranquility of the Imperial Palace, and the cabinet ministers were summoned to the Imperial Palace by Emperor Footbasin at the first opportunity.

When a group of ministers of civil and military affairs arrived at the Imperial Palace, they saw the anger behind Hirohito's glasses.

"I just received news that in the early hours of this morning, a bomber of the Shina Air Force flew over the island of Kyushu. More than a million leaflets were dropped in Nagasaki, Saga, Fukuoka, and other places. "Hirohito can receive the news, and the senior officials present will naturally also receive the news. Being rubbed on the ground by the weak Shina Air Force like this, they can understand Hirohito's mood, and they can understand why Hirohito is so angry.

After the July 7 Incident last year, the Footbasin and the Foot Basin agreed that the war could be resolved within a month, and of course, the result of the war approved by the Foot Basin was to force the Chang Kaishen government to recognize Manchuria, agree to the demilitarization of North China, and by the way expand the neutral area of Shanghai, and so on. But somehow, the two sides entered a state of full-scale war, although neither side declared war.

Yes, neither side of the war has declared war, and the two countries have not declared war on each other since the September 18 incident in March 19!

From the side, the Bigbasin Empire is a world-level power, while the Boss Empire on the opposite side is a weak country, and the international status of the two sides is not equal.

Moreover, since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Boss's empire has not had a unified government, and warlords have divided the Boss's territory in pieces. In this case, it is a question of to whom the footbasin declares war and to whom not. How is it possible for a great power to put down his position and declare war on a local regime?

In the end, he simply set up a Nanjing Wang regime under his own control at the end of last year, and also got part of the voice of the old empire. At this point, it doesn't matter whether war is declared or not.

In addition, the foot basin is a resource-poor country, and there is a shortage of any industrial resources in the country, especially the industrial blood of oil. But there is no oil in the large territory occupied; So much so that after the war began, imported oil accounted for more than eighty percent of the normal domestic military and civilian consumption. Among these imported oils, the import of Eagle Sauce, which is the world's largest oil producer, accounts for eighty percent. In addition to eagle sauce, another important source was the Dutch colony in the East Indies.

If the basin were to be declared war, according to the rules of neutrality, Eagle Sauce and the Netherlands, as well as John Bull, who controlled the Borneo oil fields, could immediately stop supplying the basin with two important strategic materials, oil and scrap steel, in the name of maintaining neutrality.

The absence of an input of oil and steel is unacceptable for a footbasin.

Standing on Chang Kaishen's side, the reason is even simpler, not to mention steel and oil, and even the Republic of China, which has to import weapons and ammunition, does not dare to undermine the rules of neutrality; Once war is declared, you can't justifiably ask Eagle Sauce Daddy for help.

Therefore, the two sides fought for more than ten years in this way, with tens of millions of casualties, and finally until the footbasin attacked Pearl Harbor and pulled Eagle Sauce Daddy into the water; Chang Gongkong, who found the backer, stood up with a pole on his waist and declared war on the foot basin!

The above are all water word counts, back to business.

Before the 77 Incident, Hirohito's goal was to obtain Northeast China de jure and control North China; As a result, it accidentally turned into a full-scale invasion of China; In the first few months after the start of the war, it was okay, the footbasin army fought very smoothly, and the victories were one after another, and in a few months they occupied a large area of territory, North China, East China and other places responded to the call, and the occupied areas of the north and south were connected, and even the capital of the Republic of China was captured. When the news came, it was a national celebration, and the whole of Tokyo, the whole footbasin was a sea of joy.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, since the army attacked the first line of Henan and Hubei, with the shrinking of the territory, the opposite national army has become more and more hedgehogs; On the contrary, the battle line on the side of the footbasin dragged on too long, and the troops became more and more scattered; The rear of the occupation was not cleared, and those guerrillas were endlessly killed, and Hirohito already had a premonition that he would be stuck in a quagmire.

Sometimes, he really envied the Führer Hans, who, after coming to power, first took the demilitarized zone on the Rhine, and a few months earlier annexed Austria, and also demanded the Sudetenland like Jak, slfuk. In short, the places where the Führer got were either industrial towns or coal and iron bases; According to the Führer's way of development, the next step must be to destroy the surrounding small countries one by one, and finally fight a decisive battle with the Gallic chickens; And those countries around Hans are all industrial countries, and none of them are industrially weak, and if this continues, the Führer will only fight stronger and stronger.

On the other hand, on the foot basin side, from the stick to the Republic of China, and then south to Annam, one race is poorer, and one is more backward than the other. Except for natural resources and a large amount of illiteracy, almost nothing is available; Even those natural resources are not immediately able to contribute to the construction of the empire, and the empire needs to invest a huge amount of resources to develop before it can be used. As for the huge population base, Hirohito has more headaches, the more illiterate the poorer and illiterate people who can't eat enough, the more they will not hesitate to fight against the imperial army, and the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes anyway. From the front line to the rear, the advantage of the imperial army was dragged by force, and the war fell into a stalemate.

It was at this critical point that the news of Kyushu Island being bombed by the Shina Air Force came.

Although it was only an airplane, and in the end the plane only threw some leaflets, and did not drop even a gram of explosives, but it was these pieces of paper that broke the golden body of the footbasin; This time, the kamikaze did not protect them. The empire itself is not so safe!

If it was good to be able to shoot down the bomber at that time, then the Imperial Army could still boast of the strength of the territorial air defense, and the most annoying thing for Hirohito was that the plane flew around Kyushu Island, threw the pieces of paper, and then flew away leisurely. From the beginning to the end, the Empire's intelligence services, army, and navy did not receive any information in advance, and they failed to take down the plane afterwards. It can be said that the entire native defense of the footbasin is all furnishings. The face of the Bigfoot Basin Empire has been disgraced to the whole world.

"It's dark and dark, and I think all this is caused by the inaction of the army red deer!" Admiral Minai said: "In front of the Empire's intelligence system, everything in Shina is transparent; Their air force is quite limited, and there are only a few long-range planes that can attack Kyushu across the sea, and all of them must take off from coastal airfields. The army has a million troops on the mainland, but it can't defend against a few planes; It's really incompetent. ”

The War Department will definitely not be able to bear this pot, and the War Minister and the stupid marshal, who will step down next month, immediately retorted: "The Navy is to be ashamed!" The empire itself is surrounded by the sea, and the defense of the homeland is the responsibility of the navy; The empire invests massive resources in building a navy every year, creating a third-most powerful navy in the world, and the result? Even the coastline of the empire itself could not be defended, and the Chinese bombers were like no one. If the resources for building the navy could have been handed over to the army, the Royal Army would have occupied China long ago, and by the way, it would have been able to open up the communication lines from the south to the north. It was dark and the ministers thought that the relevant ministers of the navy should be severely punished. ”

Seeing that it was about to enter a sea and land controversy with no beginning and no end, Prime Minister Konoe interrupted: "It is dark and the minister thinks that the news should be blocked immediately, and then these leaflets should be collected and destroyed, at least not let the people know." ”

If you let the fart people know that they are not so safe, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the foot basin.

Sure enough, the old minister was reliable, and Hirohito was about to speak, but suddenly heard a terrible air defense siren sound.

"Yaga, what's the situation?"

Several attendants ran to grab Hirohito: "Air raid siren, it's dark and it's dark, please take shelter in the first bomb shelter!" ”

"Air raid siren?" Hirohito was furious, ignoring Sven's shouting: "Is it possible that the plane from Shina can still fly to Tokyo?" And what about our planes? What about our HNA and LU airlines? I don't hide, I'm going to watch our warriors tear apart those who dare to challenge the majesty of the Bigfoot Basin Empire! ”

……

Not far from the Imperial Palace, the political center of the footbasin; A façade room has just opened, and the little old man Zhujing is the owner of this façade room; Due to the late closing time at night, I can't get up in the morning, and the door opening is also late. This is something that cannot be helped, because this store is supported by Takei alone, his wife died at an early age, his son joined the army and went to the mainland, and his daughter went to Southeast Asia; He is the only left-behind old man in the family. However, Takei does not feel sad and lonely, but rather proud; Because one of his sons and daughters are all winning glory for the country.

Two days ago, he had received a letter from his son saying that they were preparing for a decisive battle against the Chinese army. The letter was written a month ago, and due to the tension of the imperial army, it was always impossible to send the letter back in time; However, Takei was not worried, and the radio newspapers said every day that the imperial army was invincible, winning every day, and that it would soon be able to annex that large piece of land. believes that with the blessing of the gods, his son can make meritorious deeds, snatch back money and food, and at the same time be promoted to become rich; By then, my life will be better. For now, it's better to tighten your belts and support the army.

Although today's foot basin is winning on the battlefield, the domestic economy is being dragged down, and the people are not having a good time; Fortunately, Takei is relatively close to the imperial palace, and he can always entertain some dignitaries, plus his daughter sells meat in Southeast Asia, and he can send back some money from time to time to subsidize the family. Life is barely okay.

Just as he was about to put out the sign for business, the air raid siren sounded.

What's the situation, Takei looked around, but found a black shadow quickly enveloping from the place where the sun rose. The roar brought by Takei was audible to Takei, it was an airplane. It's just why the logo under the wings is not the familiar red Hinomaru, but a white Hinomaru on a blue background, and there are quite a few triangles around this Hinomaru.

This is an aircraft of the China Air Force? How did it end up in Tokyo? Is it the spoils of the Imperial Army?

A series of questions appeared in Takei's mind, without waiting for him to figure it out; The plane had a door open under its belly and threw down a heap of stuff.

Bomb dropped! Takei watched the plane drop something above his head, and said in his heart that it would be over. Yaga's Shina Air Force actually dropped bombs on Tokyo.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no explosion, but a few pieces of paper fell in front of him in a flutter. Takei took it in his hand.

Well? A talisman! There is also a dry battery behind the charm; What the hell is this? Don't drop bombs and drop symbols? This branch of that person called the foot basin a devil, and really treated people as ghosts and wanted to use talismans to destroy them? It's ridiculous!

Takei looked through it and found that the wires of the dry battery were not connected securely, and the circuit was disconnected.

Hmph, the craftsmanship of Zhina is really too backward and rough, and even the thread is not well connected; Let's see me help him connect the wires.
