Japan, Kyoto, Emperor's Palace

In this gorgeous palace, which should be antique, delicate and elegant, there is a gray atmosphere like the end of Shijie at this time.

Those palace maids and attendants dressed in gorgeous ancient costumes always held their breath and were silent when they acted, lest they be thunderously wrathed by some big man.

Yongren Bixia, the "Emperor of Hongluo", who only ascended the throne earlier this month, has been forced to face a series of bad news since he ascended the throne.

-- The failure of the Shanghai Raiders, the nuclear explosion of the port of Kagoshima, the destruction of the Combined Fleet, the collapse of domestic order, the destruction of the treaty and the southern invasion of the Soviet and Russian Red Army, the wanton rebellion of the "bandits" of Manchuria and Korea, and the robbery of the United States of America...... Each of them is terrible news that shakes the country's foundation!

All in all, although he watched his brother call himself lonely in the palace earlier, Prince Yongren was still a little unconvinced, and "I should be able to do better than you" careful thinking. But now that he has actually ascended the throne and practiced Zuo, Yongren Bixia found that the throne under his ass was as hot as an oven, torturing his fragile nerves all the time, making the new emperor's mental state always hovering on the verge of collapse.

First of all, the Japanese government, which is still nominally organizing disaster relief in the area where the nuclear explosion is currently groaning under the fallout of radioactive fallout, has in fact almost completely given up hope and left the people in the disaster area to fend for themselves, as long as they do not pour out of the disaster area and run to other places to create a disturbance...... The problem is that, given everyone's most basic desire to survive, this kind of thing simply can't be done – Tokyo and Osaka have now become almost battlefields, with people who have nothing to do wandering the ruins like walking dead. Or raid other towns in droves.

In order to get a bite to eat, women do not hesitate to sell their bodies, and men do not hesitate to break the law and commit crimes. Even though the bodies of the "thieves" who were shot were hung all over the telephone poles on the side of the road. The social order of the whole of Japan is still irretrievably falling into the abyss of collapse......

In addition, due to the devastation caused by so many nuclear bombings, Japan's domestic telephone, telegraph, and railway communications have been largely paralyzed, and even if the imperial government wants to mobilize manpower and material resources for war or disaster relief, it will be difficult to mobilize them for the time being. It was pure fantasy from the beginning: the governments of many counties and cities have long since collapsed, and what should be done with conscription and mobilization?

Secondly, a large-scale southern invasion of the Soviet Red Army. The Japanese Empire could hardly think of any effective defensive countermeasures other than a thunderous outburst.

At the moment, the loss of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands is irretrievable, and in the next entire Hokkaido theater. A counter-attacking force that the Japanese were able to handle. There was also only one disserviced Asahikawa 7th Division—because one of the wings had been transferred to the battlefield on the China mainland—and with a number of "retired veterans" and police officers who had been urgently mobilized, the full force was less than 50,000.

Although the staff of the military department were still advocating the distribution of firearms and ammunition to all the people of Hokkaido and the mobilization of the whole people to defend the country, Emperor Bixia was very skeptical about the effectiveness of this approach - in fact, according to the information available so far, whether it was Sakhalin or the Kuril Islands. The resistance of the Japanese military and civilians was very slight. Especially those ordinary Japanese citizens, when watching the Soviet red flag swagger past the city. Instead of having many thoughts of "breaking the jade of the whole people", there is a sense of relief...... And the reason is simple:

“…… According to the propaganda of the political workers of the Soviet army, if a certain town was planted with the Soviet red flag, then it would be protected from the suffering of Chinese nuclear bombs; Otherwise, as long as the nuclear explosion flashes with white light, the whole city will be powdered, and no one will want to survive......"

Because many Japanese politicians and dignitaries either died in nuclear explosions one after another, or lost power in political disputes, the new Japanese prime minister, the Imperial Army General, King Minoruhiko Higashikurenomiya, with a tired and haggard look, reported to the emperor at the Imperial Council, "...... So, although the Toyohara City government once opened the arsenal and distributed mothballed old firearms to citizens. But as soon as the Soviets arrived, the citizens obediently surrendered their guns again, and only a very small number of them insisted on guerrilla warfare. And if the Soviet army continues to move south, the will to fight of the military and civilians of Hokkaido may also be worrisome......"

“…… What a group of cowardly and shameful non-nationals! Don't they know that if they die fighting for the emperor, they can become gods? ”

Shinzaburo Mazaki, the new Minister of War, replied dissatisfiedly that at the same time as the change of the emperor, the Japanese cabinet was also changed almost entirely, and a considerable number of the "disappeared cabinet members" died of nuclear explosions and radiation sickness, while others were denounced for being on the wrong side in the competition for the throne.

“…… Become a god? However, even the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo is now in ruins! Someone suddenly said something casually sarcastic.

“…… What tone are you talking about? Is it an insult to the martyrs who sacrificed for the country? You damn non-national! ”

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, this is a meeting of the Imperial Court, please do not forget the etiquette of humility in front of Emperor Bixia! "Seeing that General Masaki Shizaburo was about to have a violent attack, Prime Minister Higashikurenomiya hurriedly came out to play a round," ...... At present, the southern invasion of the Soviet Russian Red Army has been launched, can the army have defensive countermeasures? ”

“…… Bixia, regarding the operational plan to resist the invasion of the north, the General Staff Headquarters has been doing it almost every year, but it never thought that the situation would become so bad! At the moment, it almost doesn't even come in handy! Shinzaburo Masaki bowed his head and replied, "...... The 7th Division in Hokkaido was already in a state of readiness, but because the enemy's possible landing area was too vast to be able to fortify the entire Hokkaido beachhead, it could only wait for the Soviet landing before counterattacking...... Moreover, Hokkaido's ammunition reserves are only enough to last one battle, and the army is currently rushing to rush to transport them.

In addition to the Hokkaido side of the mainland, the Manchurian battlefield was also in an emergency. 20,000 Soviet troops had crossed the Heilongjiang River and forcibly occupied the city of Heihe to deliver arms and ammunition to the Manchurian rebels. There was also a rebellion in Manchukuo, and the Kwantung Army was fighting fiercely for several days, and for a time it was unable to go north to counterattack. The Russian Pacific Fleet actually attacked the eastern ports of the Korean Peninsula. Shelling of Wonsan Port and other places...... In such a nationwide battle, the army alone is really weak and passive. I wonder if the navy can confidently meet the Russian fleet. What about a reenactment of the glorious past of the Battle of Tsushima by Marshal Togo? ”

“…… In the matter of defending the sacred territory of the Imperial State, the Imperial Navy should do its best. Narumi Inoue, who had also just been promoted, replied without humility or arrogance, "...... However, the Imperial Navy was now devoid of battleships and aircraft carriers, and even heavy cruisers were lost. At present, only three light cruisers and a dozen destroyers, gunboats, and five submarines remain, scattered in Liaodong, North Korea, and some ports on the mainland.

Of course. Even these forces alone were enough to compete with the Soviet Pacific Fleet in the Sea of Japan. But if you do. The rest of the Empire's maritime frontiers would be completely defenseless, and even the few small ships of the Chinese navy would be able to roam freely - besides, if the final battle fleet was assembled, it would be forced to suffer another nuclear bombardment in the harbor. Then the Navy Ministry is really going to be disbanded! ”

“…… Nuclear weapon. Nuclear weapon! It boils down to that damn nuclear weapon! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Bixia finally couldn't hold it back, and no longer cared about the unwritten convention of "during the Imperial Council, the Emperor does not speak", and jumped up directly from the throne, "...... It has been more than four months since the first nuclear explosion of the Communist Army in China! Could it be that the War Office had not yet come up with a feasible countermeasure to stop the nuclear attack by the Chinese Communist Army on the Reich? You're in charge of the Homeland Defense! ”

“…… This one...... Please forgive Bixia for being incompetent! General Shinzaburo Masaki finally couldn't help but blush. He bowed his head and replied.

“…… Hmph, I know. The army has done everything it can to prevent the victims of the atomic bombing in Osaka from storming Kyoto! ”

The Emperor snorted coldly, and instead of continuing to speak and persecut, he sat back on the throne, "...... Let's continue to talk about how to resist Red Russia! ”

- In fact, there is nothing to negotiate, and the only countermeasure is "national mobilization and resistance". Although it was worried about the issue of the people's attachment, the military department formulated its own jihua and prepared to "carry on the war until death" in Hokkaido by organizing a citizen volunteer army.

The Navy is also preparing to concentrate the remaining ships in the northern ports, and Jihua will start a battle in the Kuril Islands, on the one hand, to delay the progress of the Soviet landing attack, and on the other hand, to divert the battlefield to prevent the Soviet fleet from shelling the coast of the Sea of Japan, and even cut off the communication between Japan and Korea.

If possible, the Japanese Navy would also be happy to engage in a duel with the Soviet Pacific Fleet, so as to decide the victory or defeat in a battle and somewhat save some prestige.

- Although the Soviet Army was large and fierce, the Soviet Navy was far from having such a great reputation, and the Pacific Fleet, which had been completely destroyed twice in the Russo-Japanese War and the Soviet Russian Civil War, was regarded as the weakest of the weak brigades, and belonged to the objects that could be easily ravaged.

But the biggest trouble is that the Japanese Empire still has no choice but to continue to resist the nuclear bombs launched by China.

Of course, in the midst of this gloom, it is not entirely without exciting good news - the Foreign Minister said proudly that through the efforts of his diligent diplomats, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has succeeded in "global unity". Communal" slogan, won a sum of arms and material aid worth 300 million pounds from Britain! Twenty ships of British surplus supplies that had been sealed after the last Shijie battle, including field guns, rifles, pistols, ammunition, canned food, etc., have now been loaded onto ships and set off from Liverpool, with an expected arrival in Japan in two months......

“…… Very well, very well, with British aid, the Imperial Power would not have to sell the Pacific islands to the United States. The Emperor said approvingly.

But the thing is, on this brutal shijie of the jungle, there are some things that you can't sell if you don't want to. If you insist on not selling, others will turn around and rob them if they can't say anything about it—just like the imperialist powers have "spent money buying" a bunch of concessions in China......

So, just a few days later, the poor Emperor Bixia learned another piece of the latest bad news that made him almost faint.

“…… Hundreds of U.S. troops forced their way to Saipan?! Tiani Island is in an emergency at the same time?! American battleships and aircraft carriers appeared outside the Truk anchorage, and the officers and men defending the island urgently asked for instructions on whether to resist? What the hell is wrong with this shijie? Has the Empire become a prey to be slaughtered? ”

- Since it is peacetime. So, the islands in the Pacific that Japan currently governs, with the exception of the Truk Atoll naval base. Basically all of them are in an undefended state. The landing U.S. troops easily overturned a few brainless bodyguards, policemen, and sentries and easily occupied the islands. The Truk anchorage, which became a key target for seizure, was "brutally watched" by an American task force......

Eventually, in desperation, the Imperial Government of Japan signed a humiliating agreement on September 3 to transfer the Pacific islands to the United States at a low price, and Zuihou received only $5 million in compensation. Not even the cost of the construction of the Truk anchorage is worth it.

At the same time, the Japanese Army was still pondering countermeasures against nuclear weapons, and Zuihou came to the mind-wrenching conclusion that when the rockets carrying nuclear weapons were launched and took off. All available means will not be able to intercept it. The only feasible way to save the sacred land of the Japanese Empire from a nuclear explosion at present is to keep the nuclear weapons of the Communist Army of China on the launch pads forever!

This conclusion...... Well...... Strictly speaking, that's true, but here's the thing. How do you achieve this?

The Japanese Navy came up with the solution. It was to capture Shanghai and destroy the enemy's nuclear bomb launch base...... It failed miserably.

The method that the Japanese Army came up with was even more "simple and crude", that is, to implement "reciprocal retaliation" and scare the people of China!

As a result, in this ravaged and calamitous land of China, a new round of inhumane blood, fire and catastrophe has ushered in......

PS: Hello readers, after a lapse of many days. Faced with the current hilarious situation in Ukraine, Lao Lao Wang finally couldn't help but complain again.

The topic of today's complaint is: "The Funny War that Teases the Country".

Since the Crimean referendum on independence. After joining Russia, the situation in Ukraine eased up slightly, and all parties were busy singing high-profile artillery, but there was no real action. So much so that some international observers believe that Ukraine's mess may have passed in so so-so.

But it turned out to be only a brief lull before the storm.

Sure enough, since April, the dark clouds of war over Ukraine have become thicker, the entire eastern region is brewing divisions, and various pro-Russian militias have appeared one after another, which feels very much like the rhythm of the American Civil War, when the southern states have declared their independence and negotiated alliances at the same time.

- First of all, Russia announced a price increase for natural gas, and the Kiev authorities had no choice but to play tricks because they gave all the gold to the United States, insisting that they only use gas and not pay, which led to the Russian side cutting off gas. Due to the hot weather and no need to heat up, the western agricultural regions of Ukraine were fine, but the energy-intensive industrial cities in the east immediately rebelled, and Donetsk, Kharkov, Luhansk, which frequently appeared in the military history of World War II and the history of the Soviet Russian revolution, became republics one after another. Then, even Odessa, a famous military port that is very familiar to World War II fans and Gundam fans, announced that the Republic of Odessa will be established!

As a result, many people who are afraid of chaos in the world are looking forward to enjoying the Kharkov tank Armageddon of this century.

Sure enough, the Kiev authorities were indignant and announced that they were going to carry out a "fight against terrorism in the east", focusing on the crusade against the "Donetsk Republic". The problem is that they don't even seem to understand the truth that "the emperor is not a hungry soldier", and drove the army to set off without giving a dime for the promotion. Some of these soldiers said not without sadness that they had been without food for three days before they set out for the campaign - the morale and fighting spirit of the army that had not eaten for three days could be imagined: sure enough, six armored vehicles of the 25th Airborne Brigade of Ukraine directly changed into Russian flags on the way out and drove into the "rebel city" amid cheers, and eleven armored vehicles were captured by pro-Russian militias basically without a fight...... The war correspondent of the global network also found that a large number of citizens drove a Lada sedan to drive away Ukrainian tanks, which is much more powerful than a mantis arm as a car! Is this a special trip to send heavy equipment to the rebels?

The teasers in Kiev didn't even pay their salaries and sent troops to fight without food, which is simply inferior to the Manchu princes during the Xinhai Revolution!

Another "anti-terrorist force", led by the deputy head of the National Security Service, General Krutov, made the same swoop: before the expedition, the general confidently declared that "they must be warned that if they do not lay down their arms, they will be destroyed!" ”

As a result, what is the record of this General Krutov? In the morning, the situation was good, and an airfield was occupied; By noon, it was surrounded by pro-Russian militias and demonstrators; In the evening, the general walked out of the airport to negotiate with the other side, and after saying a few words, a few gunshots suddenly rang out from the airport, and then closed the door and left the general outside. Poor General Krutov was beaten and captured......

- When talking about numbers, the two sides opened up flattened, and the boss of one side was betrayed and arrested immediately...... Is this a gangster movie or a war movie?

What's even more hilarious is that some officers and soldiers of the 25th Airborne Brigade of Ukraine defected in the "anti-terrorist operation in the east" or were disarmed by the opponent. However, the coquettish Kyiv authorities did not use grace and power to stabilize the remaining troops, but immediately announced retaliation, openly declaring that they would severely punish those soldiers who laid down their arms, and by the way, disband the entire airborne brigade on the spot - isn't this driving the fish for the abyss and driving the army to the side of the rebels in the east?

Hey, with the background that the Ukrainian army has not been able to pay military salaries for several months now, and the soldiers are full of grievances, Kyiv is afraid that no matter who the authorities send troops to fight, they will defect. From this point of view, those figures in the Xinhai period of our country are more politically minded than them, whether it is Sun Dacang or Yuan Datou, the first thing they did after seizing power was to borrow money from foreign banks to buy the morale of the army, stabilize the situation and deal with the aftermath. Zuihou Yuan Shikai seems to be more able to repay and has borrowed money from the great powers, so he can clean up the situation. But when the Ukrainian gang of teasers didn't get any money at all, they began to fool around, and they didn't even think about sending money to the army, and the result was that the coup d'état and the civil war became this kind of funny virtue.

At present, in view of the fact that most of the Ukrainian army is unreliable and there is no money to win the hearts of the military, Kyiv has come up with a new trick to tease the authorities, that is, to apply for the stationing of UN peacekeepers in eastern Ukraine to help maintain order and unity...... The question is, will the United Nations be willing to muddy the waters?

Seeing that the teasing government of Kyiv will do almost nothing except send its face to the countryside to beg for a beating, the demons in Ukraine are dancing for a while, and all walks of life have jumped out to recruit troops: Komorovsky organized an "anti-separatist committee" in Dnieperpavlov Oblast, and Tymoshenko, who lives in Germany, also sent people back to China to form a "Ukrainian people's resistance liliang", plus the neo-Nazi organization "Right Zone", which has long been happy...... In the future, in the left-wing history textbooks, perhaps, according to the precedent of the history of the Soviet Russian revolution, it will become the Komarovsky gang, the Tymoshenko bandit, and the Yarosh bandit?

Hey, it's really a teasing war that teases the country, and when this is over this year, maybe you can write a teasing version of "The Quiet Don".

Wait, during the peasant war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, we Chinese seemed to be also this virtue? (To be continued......)
