Chapter 654, Absurd in October (I)

Chapter 14: Absurdity in October (I)

White House, Washington, D.C., United States

Since the beginning of October, with the resounding success of the atomic bombing of Tokyo, the smiles on everyone's faces have increased throughout the White House, from the president to the interns. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Outside the White House, parades, banquets, and balls were organized spontaneously in major cities in the United States to celebrate the victory, and everyone danced and got drunk in a spirited manner, not only to celebrate the glorious victory of the country, but also to get relief from a long nightmare.

- It's not easy! Four years of terrible nightmares, astronomical military spending, untold lives and blood, sea-like warships, planes, and ammunition were all scattered across the Pacific Ocean as if they didn't need money, but all they got was one defeat after another. For the young country of the United States, this brutal war of corpses and blood has lasted for too long, and there is hardly any light of victory in sight...... Lawmakers and the public alike are beginning to grow tired of the war and death, and even the shame of the Pearl Harbor attacks has become somewhat numb.

The whole of America fully experienced the pain and despair of the Romans when they fought Hannibal in Italy.

Fortunately, after suffering for so long, a victory came down from the sky like a Christmas present!

The Japanese Empire, which had tormented the American people for so long, had been wiped out in the mushroom cloud of the atomic bomb, just like the sinful city-states of Sodom and Gomorrah, which were destroyed by God's heavenly fire! The Japanese emperor who started the war has also died with his whole family!

Wall Street financial capitalists began to gear up, excitedly planning how to divide up the legacy of the Japanese Empire. And those ordinary families who have members of their families serving in the military are looking forward to their children being able to wear medals as soon as possible. Journalists began to sing the praises of the great triumph of the free world, and even on the other side of the Atlantic, the red iron curtain that frantically swept across Europe seemed less depressing.

- Only a very small number of sober and sane people know that the Japanese Empire has indeed received a fatal blow, but it has not yet completely fallen!

In the Oval Office of the White House, President Truman was standing in front of an unfolded map of the Pacific theater of operations, spitting and pointing:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In view of the current state of the war, there is no need to fight the Third Battle of Noumea, and the landing battle against the Fiji Islands can be stopped! That's just a redundant battle! Let the 1st Marine Division abandon the beachhead, withdraw to the ship, and then cross the Pacific Ocean as fast as possible to reinforce Halsey! The key to the United States' victory in this war was not in the South Pacific, but in the mainland of the Japanese Empire, on the arc-shaped islands! ”

(During World War II, the White House did not have a Situation Room, and the underground command to prepare for nuclear explosions was created by President Kennedy.) οΌ‰

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Wise decision-making, Mr. President. Although Halsey had enough warships and planes in his hands, he had only a 2nd Marine Division and a few small units on the ground. We must send more reinforcements to the Halsey fleet! This will prevent victory from slipping through your fingers. ”

Harry. Special Assistant Hopkins reached out and clapped a few times, "...... Now many people are a little carried away, thinking that they will soon enjoy the fruits of victory. But they all forgot that we did not defeat our opponent head-on, but only used a surprise attack to cut off the head of the beast of the Japanese Empire, whose limbs were still strong and its claws were still sharp, and even unconscious resistance was enough to bleed us. And if we wait too long and let it grow a new head, and this new head is just as belligerent as the old one, then we are even more likely to lose our efforts. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Naught? How can it be?! Didn't the provisional government of Japan already openly declare its unconditional surrender to us? ”

A new member of parliament, who had been called in for the discussion on an ad hoc basis, asked, somewhat uncertainly, "...... Will they change their attitude again? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The attitude of the Provisional Government is not important, the point is that the Japanese army has not yet surrendered! In Japan, it is the norm for the government to not be able to control the army! ”

"The chief thinker of the White House," Hopkins said in a deep voice, "...... The naval aviation of the Halsey fleet has been carrying out continuous exploratory attacks on Japan in the past few days, and has found that in some places there is almost no resistance, while in others it is fiercely resisting. In addition, there are a large number of inexplicable Japanese who have tried to contact Halsey to inquire about the terms of the peace talks, but they can't even say who they represent, and Halsey no longer knows what to do. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, it's better for the military to concentrate on the war, this kind of political matter should not be taken care of in the first place, and it seems that the secretary of state has to make a trip. ”

President Truman looked down again at the map of Japan, "...... Was the intended operational goal of the Halsey fleet accomplished? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ General Halsey had successfully taken control of the entire Kuril Islands, and the resistance of the Japanese defending forces was very weak, and they were basically withdrawn to Hokkaido Island, or beyond. But unfortunately, neither the Japanese Navy nor the Army saw a large-scale surrender. ”

One naval officer said, "...... To add insult to injury, the Soviets in the Far East are also moving on a large scale, and their border guards are rapidly moving south across the border from the north of Sakhalin. And the resistance of the local Japanese army was as weak as in the Kuril Islands, and they basically fled in despair. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Now the situation is clear, Mr. President. The situation we are facing in Japan is similar to, if not worse, the situation that the British faced in Europe after the fall of Nazi Germany this spring. Although the Japanese army was temporarily paralyzed, it did not really admit defeat.

Moreover, even if the Japanese surrender to defeat, there will still be Soviets who will fight with us! In other words, even if the Japanese were really determined to surrender, they did not have to surrender to us! They had another option, defecting to the Soviets! Although the odds shouldn't be too great! ”

Hopkins pointed to the map and said in a fierce tone, "...... According to the latest information, General Halsey is rushing to repair a large air base in the newly occupied Kuril Islands, preparing to launch a strategic bombing campaign on the mainland of the Japanese Empire, further shaking the will of the remaining Japanese diehards to resist. However, the warship could not go ashore! Airplanes can't take the city either! If we do not have a large army or marines at the front line, and if we do not show absolute strength that can crush the whole of Japan, the fruit of victory will be a picture on paper, which just looks good, but in fact we can't eat it at all! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Of course, I understand these truths, wasn't he already preparing to transfer the 1st Marine Division to him just now? Pearl Harbor is also trying to find a way to gather a second wave of reinforcements. Aren't these forces enough? Truman blinked, "...... How many people are needed on Halsey's side? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ At least as large as Eisenhower's troops in Europe, Mr. President, we must prepare for the worst. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ My God! Another 500,000 troops need to be invested in Japan? Can our North Pacific capacity afford such logistics? ”

President Truman couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "...... It is not an easy task to collect such a large number of men from the Pacific theater, and General Halsey is not the only one currently applying for reinforcements, and General MacArthur also wants to launch a large-scale counteroffensive in Australia. Moreover, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy is still intact, and even if we abandon the landing on the Fiji Islands, we must maintain a certain number of remaining troops in Samoa. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Mr. President, in order to win, many times we have to make trade-offs! When the Japanese Empire was about to fall, who would have noticed whether the several coral islands in the South Pacific were planted with the Stars and Stripes or the Rising Sun? This kind of detail is not worth thinking about! Hopkins retorted.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You can't say that! Although the battle for several desert islands in the South Pacific is indeed irrelevant, if it changes hands on the eve of victory in the war, then it will also be a blow to the image of the victor of the United States...... "For the aggressive Hopkins, there are also guys who are not used to standing up and talking," ...... The United States is only one step away from victory, and it is necessary to start thinking about some post-war issues from now on......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ There is no real victory in the war, sir! Millions of Imperial Japanese naval forces have not yet laid down their arms! ”

While the White House was arguing for a while, a new piece of news came from across the Pacific: unfortunately, bad news.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ An army of Japanese radicals stormed Kyoto yesterday, and the peaceful Japanese provisional government was overthrown! ”

β€” So, after a moment of consternation, President Truman immediately decided, "...... Looks like you're right, Mr. Hopkins! The war is not really over yet! We can't let victory slip through our fingers! Otherwise we would all be sinners in the United States!

From now on, the United States must at once mobilize all its forces, and send all the equipment, ammunition, supplies, and soldiers to Halsey as far as they can! Even if the troops of the entire South Pacific theater are evacuated, they will not hesitate! Don't pay attention to the chirping of some boring villains! What if you lose Samoa? What about losing New Zealand? What if you even lose the whole of Australia? We've lost enough battles in the last four years! As long as it can put the last straw on the dying Japanese Empire, any temporary concessions are completely worth it! ”

In this regard, everyone in the Oval Office agreed: they have come to this point, and if the Japanese are allowed to resurrect, then they are afraid that they will be nailed to the pillar of shame of history, and they will be ridiculed by generations of American students as super fools in textbooks.

However, there is still a troublesome little tail to solve at the moment - "...... What should General MacArthur do on Australia's side? Your Excellency? How are you going to reply to him? Someone reminded President Truman.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, it seems that the Australian side can only endure for a while. Send a telegram to comfort General MacArthur, with as tactful as possible...... No, wait, I seem to have a better idea. Anyway, the troops that reinforced Halsey also needed a general to command. How about simply asking Douglas (General MacArthur's name) not to rush to the Philippines and to visit Tokyo, the capital of the Japanese Empire, first? ”

October 26, Southwest Pacific, Caroline Islands, Truk Atoll, Mountain Behind the Combined Fleet Command, Naval Shrine

Wang Qiu, Ma Tong, Political Commissar Guo, Shizuka Jukawa, Minami Rika, and a group of Japanese Combined Fleet girls were kneeling on tatami mats, gathered around an antique tube radio, listening to the "Letter to the Japanese People" of the Kyoto Provisional Government being read out on the radio channel:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Since the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in the 16th year of Showa, the imperial state has been at war with the United States for more than four years, although the army and navy generals are brave and good at fighting, hundreds of officials have made great efforts to govern the country, and 100 million people have served their official duties, and they have won many victories in the South Seas, expanding their land for thousands of miles, and spreading their imperial prestige to foreign lands, but after all, Japan's national strength is weak, and the international trend is deteriorating day by day, which is obvious to all. Although the 100 million soldiers and civilians of the imperial state fought hard, the European allies fell one after another, and the fate of defeat was difficult to reverse. In addition, the enemy's recent use of cruel nuclear bombs has instantly reduced the imperial capital of Tokyo to nothing, and the first emperor, the prince, the imperial daughter, the empress and cabinet ministers have all died. Such a murderous thing that destroys the country is really beyond the courage of our flesh and blood to resist. If the war continues, the nation will be scorched and the people will suffer even more.

In view of the general trend of the world and the current situation of Japan, in order to preserve the trillions of children in our country, seek the well-being of the Japanese nation, and enjoy the happiness of common prosperity among all nations, we can only take extraordinary measures to clean up the situation. Therefore, a provisional government was established in Kyoto, and I hereby told my subjects that they should bow their heads and endure humiliation, and welcome the entry of American troops, so as to achieve peace as soon as possible. No matter what the future holds, it is better to endure the unbearable and suffer from it, and work together for the revival of the future......"

However, although this "Letter to the Japanese People" issued by the Kyoto Provisional Government was still being disseminated on the radio waves of American radio, in fact, the so-called Kyoto Provisional Government, which was short-lived at this time, had been expelled from Kyoto by Lieutenant General Ishihara Wanji and his "thief army" and destroyed in one fell swoop.

-- The "thief army" organized by retired Lieutenant General Ishihara Waner in Nagoya is, to be honest, a rabble. The total strength of the whole army is only about 1,200 people, which is about the same as a brigade. Only half of them were regular navy and army soldiers who had voluntarily signed up with the tacit consent of their commanders, and the rest were volunteers gathered from among retired veterans, military training students, enthusiastic citizens, and even many women. The whole army could not even make a rifle per man, and many people only got two grenades, and the heavy weapon was only an old antique mountain cannon.

Although the local military and political authorities in Nagoya basically acquiesced to Ishihara's recruitment and even gave them some financial support, they did not intend to join in personally, and obviously wanted to continue to wait and see the situation. Therefore, this army of thieves is not so much a coup force as a fan group of the famous strategist Ishihara...... Helplessly, his opponent is even weaker, and even such a rabble can't withstand it.

-- The Lord-Peace Provisional Government in Kyoto, Japan, had little decent armed force under its command, and only barely controlled a small number of policemen, and even the loyalty and fighting spirit of these policemen were questionable, and they were no match for the regular army of the old empire. In addition, as an ancient cultural capital lacking industry, Kyoto did not stock up on ammunition or weapons, and even did not have much food, so it was impossible to engage in defensive warfare.

What's even worse is that in the face of the consistent domineering and strong Japanese soldiers, as well as the militaristic and loyal education of the monarch from childhood to adulthood, the group of guys who formed the provisional government themselves were beating the drum in their hearts, thinking that they were doing something very rebellious. In particular, after the surrender telegram was issued, the various prefecture and county authorities or local garrisons were either silent or opposed, and even denounced the Provisional Government as the murderers who colluded with the US military in the nuclear bombing of Tokyo to kill the monarch and the country, and there were very few forces willing to recognize and support the Provisional Government, and all of them were far from quenching their thirst. The entire provisional government was already panicking, and before Ishihara's "thief army" had even set foot in the Kyoto territory, the "prime minister" Konoe Fumima had already abandoned his post and absconded, and the rest of the people were also in a panic.

Although in order to prop up the traitors, the Halsey fleet sent aviation to bomb the "Japanese diehards". However, the destructive power of air raids in these years was far less than that of later generations, and Admiral Halsey had neither accurate ground guidance nor reliable battlefield intelligence in Japan, so he could only indiscriminately bomb the city of Nagoya. As everyone knows, Ishihara's "thief army" has already left Nagoya and set off for Kyoto.

Therefore, when Ishihara Waner led this more than 1,200 stragglers to "go to Luo to fight for thieves", the provisional government basically dispersed without any resistance, and the bigwigs who participated in the provisional government fled in disguise, and they were stunned that not even one of them was caught by Ishihara's subordinates.

Although there were not a few shots fired at all, it was a victory worth celebrating to be able to "recover Kyoto without blood". Ishihara rode a white horse in this way, with a geisha in his arms, and entered Kyoto proudly, and then fell down on the street, unconscious, and was immediately diagnosed with advanced bladder cancer by the doctor, and because of the fatigue of the military, the condition is deteriorating rapidly, and now there is no cure, and can only rely on recuperation to survive......

So, Ishihara Waner, who had just reached the pinnacle of his life, was admitted to the hospital since then, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get out. The commander of the "Thief Army" became one of his admirers, and the day before the Tokyo nuclear bombing, Major General Masanobu Tsuji, who had just been promoted to general...... Obviously, such qualifications are too shallow in the Japanese Army, which pays attention to seniority - Ishihara Waner has launched the Manchurian Incident, suppressed the 226 Mutiny, and almost became a celebrity deputy chief of staff, let him take the lead in organizing the thief to save the country, and it is barely reasonable, what kind of thing are you Masanobu Tsuji?

As a result, although the capitulation Provisional Government was quickly brought down, the ruling class of the Japanese Empire remained in disarray. The entire state apparatus is paralyzed, and the army is leaderless...... However, the powerful U.S. Halsey fleet was still roaming the Pacific coast of the Japanese archipelago.

A week later, the bigwigs of the provisional government appeared in Yokohama one after another. This was the only local authority in the Japanese archipelago that openly supported the Provisional Government and its surrender to the United States, with the exception of Sendai, which had already been occupied by the U.S. military: perhaps because they had witnessed the two mushroom clouds of the Tokyo bombing and the millions of lives caused by the overwhelming sarin gas bombs, these people of Yokohama were intimidated by such a tragedy......

Then, the Provisional Government put up signs in Yokohama again, continued to chant the futility of resistance, and was supported by the remnants of a section of the Guards Division, and then an American detachment burst into Tokyo Bay and joined the capitulationist Provisional Government of Japan without any resistance.

However, this does not mean the end of the war. This is because this so-called Japanese provisional government basically can't do anything......

What is even more tragic is that at this time in Japan, there is not even a person or organization that can truly represent this country.

In other words, there are too many people and forces who think they can speak on behalf of Japan...... It's so much that it can't be crowded.

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It feels like you've returned to the Warring States period in Japan today! The central government has completely collapsed, and everyone in the local area is desperately grabbing military power, grabbing supplies, grabbing territory, grabbing the right to speak, and even pulling foreign aid, and then each of them speaks with a knife. ”

Looking at the map of Japan that was messed up with various small flags, Wang Qiu reached out and scratched his hair, rolled his eyes and muttered.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It should be said that it is more like Russia after the February Revolution, before the October Revolution...... At that time, Russia was even more chaotic than Japan is now. ”

A certain schoolboy destroyer shrugged her shoulders and said, "...... It's a pity that the Japanese Communist Party's strength in the homeland is still not strong enough, and there is no preparation in advance, otherwise it would be a good opportunity to seize power...... As for now, we can only let those Japanese fascists finally exert their residual heat. ”

INTERVIEWER To be honest, the situation in Japan after the Tokyo bombing is very similar to that in Russia after the February Revolution.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were many literati who were adept at inventing history, portraying the Russian Bolsheviks in 1917 as a well-organized traitorous organization, and for this purpose they did not hesitate to sell a lot of their profits to the Allies, especially by giving up large swathes of their original territory. And the Bolsheviks did shout some similar slogans. But to be honest, the collapse and collapse of Russia in World War I really cannot be blamed on the Russian Bolsheviks at that time, especially Lenin, who was still taking refuge in Switzerland at that time. Even if Lenin stayed in Switzerland and could not return, the situation in Russia would not be any better. Even if Lenin had not gone back to clean up the country, it would have been very, very questionable whether the concept of Russia could continue to exist.

When the February Revolution broke out and Lenin returned to Russia, what was the situation in Russia? To put it simply, the entire state apparatus has fallen apart, and a large number of organizations called Soviets have emerged: the term Soviet should be familiar to the vast majority of modern Chinese, but the true meaning of this term is probably not clear to many people, and it is even possible to misunderstand it as a special concept of proletarian revolution.

In fact, the term Soviet was born very early, even before the advent of Marxism, and was not itself directly associated with the Red Revolution: if translated literally from Russian, it means "congress". The so-called "all power belongs to the Soviets" means that everything can only be decided by meeting and discussing with everyone, and it is not up to a few leaders to make their own decisions with a pat on the head.

This may sound reasonable, but in the course of the Russian Revolution it became a mess, first of all, because the number of Soviets was a little too large: after the February Revolution, before Lenin's return, more than 700 Soviets sprang up all over Russia, all claiming to represent the interests of certain people. For example, the workers have the workers' soviets, the peasants have the peasant soviets, the soldiers have the soldiers' soviets, and the teachers have the teachers' soviets. And there are many soviets of any kind, for example, the number of workers' soviets is as high as hundreds, some are divided by city, such as the Kiev workers' soviet, the Moscow workers' soviet, and some are divided according to occupation, such as the railway workers' soviet, the textile workers' soviet. These concepts clearly overlapped with each other, with the result that many themselves could not tell which Soviet they were.

Each Soviet had its own armed forces, separate from each other, not subordinate to each other, almost as if they were independent states. Thanks to the presence of the Petersburg Central Soviet and a bourgeois provisional government, Russia at this time still looked like it had a unified government. But in reality, the Central Soviets could not control the small Soviets below at all. The Provisional Government is also an empty government with no money, no soldiers, and no one listens to anything, because the Russian army has formed its own Soviet and soldiers' committees, and unless the soldiers can be fooled into obeying, any order of the Provisional Government is equivalent to a piece of waste paper.

Therefore, in the eight months from the February Revolution to the October Revolution, all forces in the Russian political arena were engaged in a flickering contest, and whoever could fool the largest number and the most effective little Soviet to surrender to the United States would win power, and the final result was that Lenin's deception ability was unmatched in the world, unparalleled, comparable to Hitler in the future, who successfully subdued the army with his tongue and became his own people, so he naturally became the master of a country.

Of course, flickering is flickering after all, and when the slogan of flickering cannot be fulfilled, the only way to finally solve the problem is through a red-white civil war......

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

In the same way, a similar situation occurred in Japan, which was leaderless at this time.

As the emperor, the court, the cabinet, the wartime base camp, and the entire central government of Japan evaporated from the world under the mushroom cloud of the atomic bombing, the people of Japan suddenly fell into a state of anarchy in which they were extremely confused: transportation and logistics were completely cut off, and domestic communications were also disrupted. The original local government and army did still exist, but only because of inertia, and many people suddenly found that since the emperor and the government were gone, the state seemed to no longer exist, and there was nowhere to queue up for even the most basic rations. Why do you still listen to the dictates of these officials?

Then, the old political forces such as the Political Friends Association, the Constitutional Association, the Sakura Association, the Blood Alliance, the Koto Society, the Kanasean Association, the Black Dragon Society, and so on, immediately took advantage of the situation with their keen sense of smell and pulled people everywhere: these organizations were originally stuffed into a basket called "Taisei Wing Zankai" by Tojo Hideki during the Pacific War, but now they broke free from the shackles and immediately shouted slogans such as national salvation again.

But the problem is that many of the original leaders, elders, and presidents of these associations also evaporated in the Tokyo nuclear bombing. As a result, many organizations have already started their own internal divisions before they even start raising their flags. For example, the Black Dragon Society suddenly emerged more than a dozen leaders, who did not obey each other, and finally broke up into a bunch of small gangs in the chaos of fire and chaos, just like the disintegration of Yugoslavia in another world.

Next, all kinds of new organizations also took the opportunity to swarm and dance wildly, such as the Heroes of Lofty Ideals, the Restoration Association, the Peace and National Salvation Movement, the Anti-War League, the Tianzhu Party, and the Traitor Group...... It appeared like a dog pee moss after the rain, making both Japanese and Americans stupid. Among them are groups led by frustrated politicians and retired celebrities, but more often are various criminal gangs and gangsters who want to take advantage of the chaos to clear their identities. The rest are simply pure jokes, such as the emergence of an Iga ninja group in, entrenched in several villages, saying that they want to establish some kind of ninja elder country Yunyun.

In the midst of such chaotic anarchy, the Japanese Communist Party naturally took the opportunity to raise some gangs, organized several trade unions, and even had its own armed pickets of workers. On the whole, however, the forces are still too weak to be able to grasp the domestic situation.

Finally, in some of the places where a large number of troops were stationed, they were put under strict military control, and at least until the stored supplies were exhausted, these places were ruled by the officers and generals, and only God knows what would happen in the future, whether they would become warlords or princes.

In the face of the sudden collapse of the Japanese Empire, the Soviet Union was also caught off guard. At present, the main forces of the Red Army are in Europe, and the garrisons in the Far East are very thin. In the end, they had no choice but to engage in a "closed operation plan in the Sea of Japan" in an attempt to block the US Navy outside the Sea of Japan, ensure the absolute security of Vladivostok, the core city of the Far East, and ensure the ability of the Soviet Red Army to cross the sea at any time to interfere in the situation in Japan.

To this end, the Soviet border guards stationed in the northern part of Sakhalin (Sakhalin) urgently mobilized southward, first forcibly taking over the Japanese-controlled area in the southern part of the island, encountering only symbolic resistance along the way, and then landing on Wakkanai, the northernmost tip of Hokkaido, and successfully blockading the Soya Strait. However, after advancing to Asahikawa in central Hokkaido, it was finally resolutely blocked by the Japanese 7th Division, so it had to stop there for the time being, waiting for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.

On the other hand, on 20 October, Admiral Halsey ordered a battalion of marines to tentatively land in Sendai Harbor, but they did not meet any large-scale organized resistance, but they encountered more than 40 groups of "peace talks" from various sources, among whom there were certainly people from the former Kyoto Provisional Government, but more of them were a bunch of inexplicable people of all religions and nine ranks, and some of them even did not know what they were doing for the US troops, but just came to join in the fun.

Of course, although there was no large-scale resistance, the small-scale sneak attack on the lone US military was carried out one after another, and the head of a certain unlucky US captain was hung on a telephone pole. Because the number of American troops who landed was so small that they could only control a small block near the dock, it was impossible to figure out who the killer was and where he had gone. So angry, Admiral Halsey was extremely annoyed, and he was considering whether to slaughter the city.

-- The U.S. military used two atomic bombs and thousands of tons of sarin gas to break up the Japanese Empire and make itself a negotiator.

In Russia after the February Revolution, although all kinds of Soviets were everywhere and various nationalities became independent, there was still a faΓ§ade Central Soviet and a Provisional Government, so that confused Russians could pretend that they were still a unified country.

However, in Japan today, there is not even such a symbolic faΓ§ade. The so-called Japanese Provisional Government is a capitulation faction bent on kneeling and licking the US military, and its legitimacy and recognition are far worse than those of the Russian Provisional Government after the February Revolution, and the local powerful factions are still in the process of consolidating, the social order is in chaos, communications and communications throughout the country are completely cut off, and many Japanese people in the countryside do not even know what is going on in this world.

In this regard, the Americans were dizzy, the Soviets were dizzy, the Japanese themselves were dizzy, and the combined fleet on Truk's side was equally dizzy.

Because, just like the situation on the mainland, the millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians on the Nanyang front line also fell into a state of paralysis and chaos all of a sudden.

Although relying on the infiltration and cover of the ship's mother Sophie, as well as the blind eye of Marshal Yamamoto 56 during his lifetime, the Japanese Communist Party laid a deep foundation here, but it is not something that can be achieved overnight if it wants to change from an "underground club" to a ruling organ, re-straighten out organizational relations, win over powerful generals, and unify internal thinking. It would take a lot of time just to assemble the capital ships scattered in a radius of several thousand kilometers.

Therefore, before the ship's mother Sophie's "Nanyang Revolution" was officially launched, Wang Qiu and his team had nothing to do for the time being, so they could only try to collect intelligence and analyze the situation first, and wait until they figured out the situation of this mutant version of World War II World Replica in their own minds.

Of course, there are also guys who are not dizzy, for example, the attitude of the Nanjing Wang puppet government is very clear: the Japanese father will not be able to see it, so change it to an American father!

However, how to replace the Japanese father with the American father, it is necessary to ensure that the Japanese Imperial Army around him does not jump out and "die" him, and to ensure that he is not liquidated as a traitor afterwards.

Fortunately, at this time, the Japanese "China Dispatch Force Command" stationed in Nanjing had already been transferred to an empty shelf. Almost all of the more energetic young generals went to Nanyang and Australia, and the rest were old and decrepit. At present, the only elite core of the Japanese garrison in the Jiangnan area is the Osaka Fourth Division, which has the most flexible mind and is the most proficient in business and economics. If the emperor and the military were still alive, they would certainly not be able to escape war and death because of the concept of respect for the emperor and the ethics of soldiers. But now that even the emperor is gone, who are they going to fight for? Let's save our lives first!

Not to mention, in the "Provisional Government of Japan" that advocated the surrender of the US military, there were quite a few Osaka chaebol magnates...... So, under the conspiracy of the Japanese and puppet sides, they managed to hook up with the "external forces", and in the end, they really made this great cause of changing their skins!

As a result, when Wang Qiu heard the news on the radio, he felt as if there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ On October 25, the 34th year of the Republic of China, the Chongqing Nationalist Government issued the "Order on Returning the Capital", which is scheduled to triumphantly return to Nanjing on the 28th of this month. Chen Gongbo, former chairman of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, had resigned the day before yesterday and was preparing to go abroad for inspection, waiting for Jiang Gong to go to Nanjing to take charge of the government......"

- I can't help but want to squirt a mouthful of old blood
