759 Audience with the Emperor

The group entered the forest, ran a few kilometers more, and found an open area where the drone could see themselves before stopping, the terrain here is not so easy for the Japanese to find themselves, but the drone should guide the team to find themselves.

Xu Chong didn't have time to find Lin Xiuxuan at this time, he stuffed a fuel-run half-track car* and parked at a bend with a hill blocking his view, waiting for the Japanese army column to crash into him.

The first column of the Japanese army arrived, and they stopped on the nearby line until it got dark, and the fireworks display near Lampang delayed them for a little longer, and when the fighting subsided, and there was no radio to warn them of the danger of the road, they rumbled on the road. Be cautious along the way, but you can't slow down, because the next train should be on time, and the interval between is only 45 minutes, so this train must travel at the specified speed to avoid rear-end collision by the following train.

When I turned the hill, I saw the warning from the Japanese sappers in front of me, but it was already dark, and I could not use the flag, so I could only use rifles to shoot in the air to warn the train to slow down. But the driver will be mistaken, thinking that it is another patrol chasing and destroying small groups of enemy troops.

According to Hashimoto's plan of response to various contingencies, he should quickly pass through the war zone, and only after the radio station became unreliable, Hashimoto wasted no sleep and devised a number of new rules to allow the train to operate with maximum efficiency without communication. However, all his plans are based on maximizing the squeezing of capacity, in fact, there are many flaws.

So the driver ordered to speed up the shoveling of coal, and did not use the searchlight on the front of the car to avoid exposing the position, which made Xu Chong's armored car barricade hide in the dark. The Japanese troops, who were trying to push away the armored car, signaled the danger with a flashlight, but it was too late. The train struck the 300-kilogram* vehicle with a solid sturge.

A Japanese engineer was in the car, forgetting to remove the fuse, and it was too late to escape, so he was reimbursed, but before that, he still removed the trigger fuse.

One armored car alone was not enough to block the entire train, Xu Chong was 300 meters away, watching the armored car being hit sideways, being pushed forward by the train, and at this moment the train was slowing down.

Fortunately, he had a second hand of preparation, and quickly shot a tracer bullet, and his armored car was loaded with ** captured from the Japanese army, which was powerful and relatively easy to detonate by high temperatures.

The bullet pierced through the armor and instantly detonated the armored car, and the force of the explosion knocked the locomotive into the air. This blow was enough to derail the cars behind in turn.

He watched as the enemy's train slowed down to a low speed of about 30 kilometers per hour, twisted into a heap, and then overturned to one side, if it was filled with people, I am afraid that the casualties would not be too great. In fact, 419 could not tell him what was inside, and after the enemy abandoned radio communications, the train load became a mystery. However, Xu Chong's men still fired tracer bullets at the derailed train for a while, and when they saw that they could not ignite, they retreated.

After completing this blow, Xu Chong went to the team leader according to the direction indicated by the drone. Of course, he had to remind his subordinates that those were his own people, don't be too nervous, and his subordinates were wary of anyone who wore civilian clothing, and in Southeast Asia, non-Chinese civilians were often accomplices of the Japanese. Thailand is doing better than Burma, and King Rama VIII has been trying to ease ethnic tensions, but the junta has done the opposite, quickly learning to consolidate power by inciting hatred against China.

The drone continued to circle, guiding Xu Chong while observing the results of the train derailment. The drone found that thousands of Japanese soldiers climbed out of the stuffy tank car boxes of dozens of trains twisted into twists, and it seemed that they were not transporting weapons, but a troop carrier. The Japanese fell into blood mold, and few were able to get up and walk a few steps, and most of them had only half a life left if they did not die, rolling on the ground.

The car was loaded with the headquarters of the 53rd Mixed Brigade and the main wing, they boarded a ship from Pyongyang, crossed the whole of East Asia and disembarked in Da Nang, where the soldiers arrived by train for several days, only to derail en masse. This derailment caused the death of more than 200 people, three times more fractures, and the brigade commander Takeo Yamaguchi died on the spot. The brigade was clearly not able to go into combat in a short time.

When the drone turned back, he found that Lin Xiuxuan was still in place, and the IR identification strip on his shoulder was faintly flashing, obviously he knew his situation and how to deal with it, even if there was no radio, he maintained a tacit understanding with 419.

His three local subordinates were not so calm, according to their thoughts, they were naturally desperate to run into the distance, why stop here?

After a while, a figure flashed in the darkness, and a group of people were surrounding him. Lin stopped his men and drew their guns, telling them that their own people were coming.

In fact, he was also a little worried that the Japanese would catch up, so he hid in the grass. The people who came fanned out in some kind of attacking formation, but they didn't look like the Japanese, because they were almost coming straight at them, and the Japanese couldn't have tracked them so precisely at night. Of course, at night, watching such dozens of figures approaching him still made him nervous.

"Captain Lin Fa, it's me."

Xu Chong shouted, he had just learned from 419 that the team leader had changed his name again.

"I'm here."

Lin Xiuxuan got up at this time. The two sides finally came together.

Of course, neither of their subordinates could figure out how this convergence was done, even those hunters from Yungui knew how difficult it was to track down people who were sneaking at night, unless they had dog noses, but Captain Xu did it.

Lin finally joined Xu Chong and resumed contact with 419, which can be said to have escaped another catastrophe for Lin Xiuxuan. Now that the Japanese army's railroad has been turned upside down, the biggest threat has been lifted for Chu Tingchang's attack, but this team can still play a greater role if it stays behind enemy lines.

Lin Xiuxuan quickly understood Xu Chong's strength, and he abandoned some vehicles and concentrated the fuel on the remaining armored vehicles, which were currently hidden in the ravine. Xu Chong reported the overall situation to Lin Xiuxuan, the Japanese army in northern Thailand was insufficient, and the rear defense was around the railway, so the area far away from the railway could move freely.

Now the top priority, of course, is to restore contact with Chu Tingchang, Chu Tingchang's radio station is currently in Ma Qiang's hands, it may be that Ma Qiang is not familiar with this part of the business, resulting in communication difficulties. That would only allow 419 to continue to try to make contact with them, while maneuvering to the vicinity of Chiang Mai and disrupting enemy command with a few precise decapitation operations.

In Tokyo, Japan, the new Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe led his cabinet team to the Imperial Palace to meet the emperor.

The new cabinet took office with the mission of turning the tide and avenging Tojo, and the people of Japan were ready to fight to the death against the insidious and incompetent Allies with a common hatred for the enemy.

The scene of meeting the emperor was quite comical, and everyone pretended to be indignant, but in fact, eighty percent of the people present knew that Tojo's death was not simple. Japan's police-state system is not so easy for spies to infiltrate. Moreover, the plot of the Japanese Communist Party's cooperation with the United States and British spies is too grotesque, and the fact that none of the core members have been caught alive is also very suspicious.

Ishihara did not become Minister of War as he wished, and the emperor did not like Ishihara, hinting that Anan, whom he trusted, would take the position, while the post of Chief of Staff of the Army was temporarily vacant, and the candidates for the Army were Terauchi Shouichi or Okamura Ninji. Although these two are far from the original central government, they are acceptable candidates in all aspects.

After Konoe gets rid of Quartet on trumped-up charges and puts Kimura under house arrest, new political checks and balances are being struck.

Of course, after this meeting, Konoe, in his capacity as a generation other than the prime minister, asked for a private meeting with the emperor. The main axis of this meeting is no longer a political game, or even the battle situation that is still unclear now, but one person - Makino.

Konoe learned through the Minister of Internal Affairs that the Emperor had actually heard of all the waves that had been caused by the arrival of the Traveler since July last year. So this meeting can be seen as a matter of course.

Makino, accompanied by an attendant, waited outside. He didn't come to meet the Emperor with a lot of strategy and personal ambitions, he had experienced various setbacks and blows in the more than a year since the Kasuga Maru's sinking, and now, he was the only one left on the Kasuga Maru, and the enemies lurking in the shadows were still destroying and wielding their powers. Time is rapidly slipping away, and Japan's catastrophe is no longer in sight. In fact, he came with pain and despair.

The chamberlain told him that the emperor was ready to see him. Makino got up and walked through a winding passage to a gate engraved with twelve chrysanthemums.

Someone pushed the door open, and he entered, a large room with a huge astronomical telescope in the middle, and a curved dome made of clear glass, where he could see the stars in the night sky. This is the emperor's private observatory and a place where he meets his close ministers.

A young man in a suit and beard, with an unassuming appearance, looked somewhat like the guards on the side, but was shorter.

There are only three people in this huge place. Makino walked straight over, not knowing if he needed to waste his tongue and explain to the ignorant Emperor that he was a traverser, not some charlatan. He couldn't remember how many times he had been in a similar situation over the past year or so. He desperately expounded on Japan's impending predicament, and the audience only took him for a fool.

He came to the emperor and bowed.

"I've heard that humans in the future will be able to land on the moon? Is it true? The emperor's opening remarks surprised Makino.

"Your Majesty, how do you know?"

"It was written in Asano-kun's report, and I saw it a few months ago. At the time, I was skeptical. ”

"It's true, after the war, the United States and the Soviet Union competed in the space race, and these huge rockets could establish military superiority, but the Americans were superior."

"Asano-kun said that these achievements were achieved after they carved up Germany's technology?"

"Your Majesty, I think he has some truth in what he said, the Soviets got the German V2* technology, and the Americans ...... As far as I know, quite a few German scientists were reused. Eventually, they dominated the planet and relied on nuclear weapons to achieve a cold confrontation, which is called the Cold War. ”

The emperor turned to Konoe.

"Did the Germans tell us about this technology?"

"It was only very abstractly talked about that they have an attack weapon that the enemy's air force cannot defend against. But it was not mentioned that such a thing can fly out of the atmosphere. ”
