Vol 3 Chapter 412: All Japanese Army (10): No way to negotiate

When an hour passed and more and more information gathered in Tokyo, Hideki Tojo could no longer sit still.
Twenty minutes later, underground, the Emperor's secret residence, a top-secret meeting was being held.
The emperor's face still twitched in anger from time to time, originally thinking that making such a huge sacrifice could retreat back at least a third, or even a quarter of the troops.
However, the current situation is that, with the exception of a few thousand people, less than 10,000 troops can follow up. Later, the poison gas even began to spread towards the sea surface. The entire surface of the sea hundreds of meters away was full of erratic poison gas. Dead fish and shrimp floated into a large area. The fleet participating in the evacuation plan only needed a light to see the whole The horror scene in the dead zone near the sea. When you look at the posture, who dares to land, mostly turns and runs. If you are late, you will be caught by poisonous gas, and you will be caught by Chinese aircraft.
"His Majesty, according to comprehensive information from various sources, including the information provided by the Far East Battlefield, China, and even the Americans, the Chinese did use a large amount of poisonous gas, and created it in the narrow and narrow area of ​​the sea near Vanino. A gas barrier.
Judging from the overall situation, the plan for the Great Retreat has been lacking in feasibility, and even if we pay even greater losses, it is likely to be ineffective.
On the North Korean side, a division of the Chinese vanguard has arrived in Seoul ... "
Although the entire simple pre-conference report was full of failures and then failures, Tojo Hideki still could only report truthfully, and the entire meeting fell into a dignified atmosphere with his report.
The failure of the Far East battlefield, the shelving of the Great Retreat plan, and even the more than one million Japanese troops who once again fell into the siege and could not escape, even if they were only 20 kilometers away from the nearest place across Sakhalin Island, but the Chinese were almost twenty The four-hour air force fighters floating on the strait turned any possible large-scale evacuation into an extravagant hope, often a loss of two or three months. In addition to sending ships from the country, the Japanese troops on the Vanino side did not have any obstacles. I can't find a ship that is enough to transport a battalion, and the loss is clean. The narrow strait is relatively easy to flee, but the narrow strait is also convenient for Chinese air surveillance and attack. A strait in the strait is now the dividing line between and heaven in the minds of the Japanese army.
The defeat on the Korean battlefield is more like a calamity. It is different from those in the Far East. It failed. The loss is only the army. Once North Korea is cleaned, there is absolutely no chance for hundreds of thousands of troops to escape across the sea. Japan does not say that it is very convenient for the Chinese to attack Japan from North Korea across the sea. It was originally only one hundred kilometers wide on the Tsushima Strait. Although it is wider than the Strait of Straits above it, there is a Japanese one in the middle. The island, it can be said, the Chinese only need to jump in two steps, and can land anywhere on the west coast of Japan at 50 kilometers.
With their strong air-to-ground support, the Japanese army is likely to face a huge disaster, allowing the Chinese to land on their homeland.
Senior Japanese military and political figures shrouded in a hint of despair are not despairing because the empire has been completely defeated, but they are desperate because they cannot defeat the Chinese anyway.
Although the Chinese are still at the edge of Seoul, it will take at least a month to win the entire North Korea, and the fastest time to attack Japan after stabilization is also several months, but this despair makes people see no hope. All we can see is defeat, non-stop defeat, and all-round defeat of sea, land, and air.
Tojo Hideki spoke for a short period of time, and then slowly stopped, summing up, "From the Sino-Japanese war, Sino-Soviet war, Sino-US-British Southeast Asian war, the overall strength of the Chinese has risen to one Very scary height.
The most important thing is that they have no enemies to fight. We lie in the fact that their previous battles are in a disadvantage. The Soviet Union even lost most of its land. Britain and the United States have suffered heavy losses in Southeast Asia and are planning to retreat ...
In the past few years of World War II, the record of countries playing against China has hardly taken advantage, although this is related to China's special geographical location.
The Americans are separated by a great sea, which makes the enemy hard to help. Although China borders many countries, it does not have a real opponent, especially when the Japanese are also defeated by China, the Soviets take care of themselves, and the Anglo-American Alliance ’s Southeast Asian offensive is weak. China's growing presence in the enemy clique has made the Japanese feel a bit desperate.
The Great Retreat plan is facing a setback, and North Korea is at stake, leaving Japan's military and political leaders and even the Emperor himself deeply insecure.
"If we negotiate with the Chinese and sign an agreement on the Far East and North Korea, will the Chinese promise to let our troops in the Far East withdraw?"
When the emperor saw Hideki Tojo, he asked anxiously that he was very reluctant to bow his head to the Chinese. The last time Tojo Hideki mentioned this negotiation, he was furious, but it was only one year. Over time, this preliminary plan for strategic response has now become a solution to the problem that can be put on the table.
"It's probably not enough. With the appetite of the Chinese people, if they just promise to give up the Far East and North Korea altogether, they will probably look down."
Lu Xiangnan Jilang shook his head and said.
Other military and political leaders, especially the key members of the military, nodded, and the Emperor actually wanted to make concessions to the Chinese with these two unworthy conditions, which was simply ridiculous.
However, at this time of crisis in Japan, they also knew that the military and emperor were inseparable from each other.
They whispered again, and when the emperor saw that the method proposed by him was not working, he could only look to Hideki Tojo. The supreme commander of the military department actually had more power than his supreme commander of the Japanese army.
"Your Majesty! We recently received the news that the British and American forces are preparing to withdraw from India. The German forces in the western part of the Indian border have major changes and are likely to launch an Indian offensive. The British and American forces are anxious to shrink their forces and abandon Southeast Asia in order to stay in India. India In addition to having all kinds of resources, the most important thing is that it provides a large number of soldiers for the Allies.
Once the Allies withdraw from Southeast Asia, Southeast Asia will essentially fall into the hands of the Chinese.
We can start negotiations with the Chinese and promise Japanese military forces to withdraw from Southeast Asia.
Even if China is willing to sign a comprehensive armistice agreement, we can consider handing Indonesia over to them. China has stated many times that their Southeast Asian provinces will cover the entire Southeast Asia, and Indonesia is one of their next appetites. "
Tojo Hideki's words immediately caused a shocked whisper.
"What? Give up Indonesia !!!"
"It is the new energy source of the empire, providing a lot of ore, oil and food every year ..."
"Yeah, how can Indonesia be lost."
The whispered discussion continued, but Tojo Hideki seemed to turn a deaf ear, and glanced coldly as usual, just standing there safely.
"Does General Tojo think that it is really necessary to start comprehensive negotiations? The allies may not agree."
I have to admit that when he heard that Tojo Hideki was willing to give up Indonesia in exchange for a comprehensive armistice agreement, he was shocked at the same time, and suddenly saw another way. He seemed to understand the idea of ​​Tojo Hideki.
"Your Majesty! When the empire retreated from China 13 years ago, we ceased the war by selling a lot of benefits, especially compensation and imperial labor and other benefits. At that time, the Chinese were inadequate and desperately wanted to concentrate and complete their national unification. , And then developed the domestic economy in an all-round way, so the negotiations were successful.
However, this time, the Chinese national strength is at its peak, the army's fighting power exceeds our Great Japanese Empire, and even the U.S. military is not an opponent. If we hit it hard, we are likely to lose too much.
Although we failed to retreat from China back then, the foundation was not damaged, but now, once the Chinese people concentrate on attacking the empire, the empire will pay an unthinkable price.
The strength of the Chinese is no longer a country, and a nation can confront it. As we discussed before, the strength of the Chinese can only be countered by concentrating the strength of the entire ally. "
Tojo Hideki glanced coldly at those short-sighted guys, but nodded slightly to Ishihara Waner and others. In the discussion just now, Ishihara and others also refuted the claims of those around them.
"We don't need to rush into gains and losses. Once the Chinese finally defeat, the whole of Asia will be the empire of the Great Japanese Empire. The Soviet Union suffered great vitality, but the empire can shock the whole of Asia. Although Indonesia is great, if one day the Chinese Defeated, we might even get half China.
Because, I think when the Chinese are forced to face the entire ally, there will be only two ways to defeat and surrender negotiations.
Now we are exchanging negotiations with a large number of empire-occupied Southeast Asian territories, such as Indonesia, just to buffer time. "
Tojo Hideki's words are very simple. The Great Japanese Empire is not a defeat, but a temporary strategic forbearance.
After a long silence, the Emperor smiled suddenly and said, "Very well, just as General Tojo meant, we negotiated with the Chinese on the condition that North Korea, the Far East, and Southeast Asia can be withdrawn, and we can even withdraw our troops at the same time as our allies."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Tojo Hideki said relievedly.
...
When Zhang Shusheng came to the office early in the morning, he saw Foreign Minister Li Zongren and Defense Minister Cai Yong waiting for themselves there. When asked, it turned out to be about Japan.
After entering the office, the topic was naturally related to the war in the Far East.
"Chairman, the Far East is playing well. The devil can't escape this time. No, the devil is rushing to run to negotiate with us!"
At this time, two days have passed since the Chinese Air Force dropped a large number of poison gas bombs to create a poison gas isolation zone. Japanese forces in the Far East were unable to advance and retreat, and a large number of people died under the poison gas. The remaining troops have begun to move in the north-south direction where the Chinese army is located.
"This Japanese devil seems to have shown signs of surrender." Cai Yan said with a smile, and looked at Li Zongren next to him. "Chairman, the devil has committed another problem 13 years ago and wants to negotiate if he can't win."
"Oh? Zongren, talk about it, what negotiations?"
After Zhang Shusheng sat down, he motioned to the two to sit down and talk about things.
Li Zongren: "Yes, Chairman. The Japanese conveyed to us today the truce negotiations through the ambassador of Neutral Switzerland to China ..."
From time to time, Li Zongren talked about the cause and effect.
It turned out that the Japanese were defeated in the Far East, and North Korea was about to lose ground. Panicked. After receiving acquiescence from the Americans, they were willing to conduct comprehensive negotiations with China on issues such as the Far East, North Korea, and Southeast Asian concessions.
The Japanese hope to return the Japanese troops in the Far East through negotiations. At the same time, they will recognize China's formal occupation of the Japanese-controlled areas in North Korea and Southeast Asia.
From the mouth of the Japanese government representative who came with the Swiss ambassador, Li Zongren even heard some special proposals about Southeast Asia.
"The Japanese actually intend to negotiate with Indonesia, Japan's largest and richest region in Southeast Asia!"
Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but be sighed, this devil is really able to bend and stretch, aside from the conspiracy, at least politically dare to let it go.
In later generations, Zhang Shusheng once felt the strange mentality of devils. For a while, they seemed as if the universe was invincible and confident, and then a little man swayed his tail in front of the American master, while pretending to be generous, and then to the extreme. In contrast, China has always adopted a patience policy on many major international issues. "Patience, let it, avoid it, bear with it, respect it, ignore it, stay a few more years, you look at it", this sentence Can be described as the biggest portrayal of later China.
The power is too scattered, and the parties are particularly restrained, which makes it difficult for a nation to make a neat voice, which is turned by the small Japanese often playing, from small economic and trade exchanges to large territorial disputes. At the height of the country and the major national interests The losses of eating devils are countless.
Nowadays, the devil still wants to come to this set. If he can't fight, he will pretend to be a grandson to negotiate. If he can't fight it, he will destroy your country. This set, Zhang Shusheng does not eat.
The main reason for negotiating with the devils back then was to gain more benefits, mainly because they were anxious to complete the great cause of the founding of the country, concentrate their efforts on the economy, and liberate the Chinese people suffering from the war and poverty. Only then did they negotiate with the devils.
Today, Guotai Min'an, the country has become more powerful because of the war, and has even become the most powerful country on the planet. Conventional military forces and strategic military forces have surpassed the world's second-largest United States by many. What else needs to be tolerated?
The snakes did not die, but they suffered. The Japanese are definitely such an evil animal nation.
"Now that I think of negotiations, and also try to use Indonesia for real truce negotiations, is it that the Japanese think so beautifully?"
Zhang Shusheng could n’t help but say in a mocking tone ~ EbookFREE.me ~ When he was beaten, he killed people and killed them, but when he could n’t fight, he bowed his head and pretended to be a turtle grandson to ask for negotiations. , But few people can do so lowly.
The beauty of thinking does not mean that it can be achieved. Later Zhang Shusheng could only point at the humiliating news in newspapers and television, but now he has the highest veto power.
"What does the chairman mean?"
Li Zongren asked with a smile.
"Refused to negotiate! China and Japan are in the middle of an unprecedented war, and peace talks cannot be initiated in person."
Zhang Shusheng said with a smile, but he thought that negotiation is impossible, but naturally the sooner the war is resolved, the better, but the means to resolve the war does not necessarily need to be negotiated. For example, in the Far East, since the Japanese army cannot escape, Perhaps China should accept captives with the idea of ​​quickly resolving the war.
Although Zhang Shusheng confessed that he wanted to kill all the Japanese soldiers, next, China should be said to be the countless major projects that will be carried out within the sphere of influence of the Chinese Empire, but they need too much, no money, and can be abused at will. Cool labor.
