Chapter 526: You Don't Have a Choice


The complete laying down of arms by the Chinese Leek Army allowed Youran to be completely isolated in Northeast China and Spider Island, and instead of strategic isolation, the fall of the homeland and the surrender of Tomomura Ningji were a fatal blow to the Tojo Hideki group.

Prince Takahito Mikasa, who had also come to him, failed to become the new emperor and spiritual leader as Tojo Hideki had hoped, and now Tojo Hideki reflects that his thoughts at that time were a little too naïve, since Emperor Jimmu, the emperor has been the successive shoguns of the castle daimyo began to mythologize, the emperor has always appeared as a spiritual leader, ending Japan's successive civil wars as a symbol of the unification of Japan.

However, even the mythical emperor could not have the power he hoped for, and Japan experienced the politics of regency, the genpei conflict, the Kamakura shogunate, the Muromachi shogunate, the Azuchi-Momoyama period, and the Edo shogunate.

The power of the emperor was elevated for nearly a thousand years.

It was not until the Meiji Restoration that the Emperor's power began to grow through a series of bloody wars between the Restorationists and the Conservatives.

Even the later military departments did not want to hand over all power to the emperor, and they were also doing what the shoguns had done, but when their aggression suffered an unprecedented defeat, these generals who did not believe in the so-called imperial way could only rely on the emperor to continue to fool the people.

However, when Emperor Hirohito decided to surrender, Hideki Tojo thought that Prince Takahito Mikasa would be able to take on the heavy responsibility of saving the Yamato nation from danger, but he was disappointed, and there was much debate within the Kwantung Army about whether this was the right thing to be reunified.

After the edict was issued, the more than 100,000 Chinese troops were suddenly dispersed, and the more fatal blow was the fall of the homeland, and the families of the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level were all on the mainland, and they did not understand who the enemy was in Manchuria since His Majesty the Emperor had fought the battle The extremely pale Tojo Hideki sat in the Changchun Garrison Headquarters, and not far from the window was the imperial palace of the puppet Manchukuo in the mouth of the Chinese.

Wind and rain ah Tojo Hideki sighed slightly, except for Prince Takahito Mikasa who was sitting next to him.

He was not familiar with many generals, especially the newly formed Korean divisions, and those Koreans who dared to die dared to speak Korean at the high-level strategic meeting of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese Empire The elite of the Chinese Expeditionary Force has gathered at Shanhaiguan, and almost more than half of the squadron's reorganized divisions have also gone over, and Hideki Tojo is very envious of the big boss behind China, and the equipment of dozens of divisions may take two years or more to produce for Japan, but it is just a transportation process for the huge industrial base of the United States.

Tojo Hideki knew very well that once the Chinese attack began, there would be no negotiations to surrender, and the rolling steel torrent would drown and tear them apart, especially today with the news of the arrival of the main force of the First Mechanized Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Tojo Hideki also realized that the last Shigen may come at any time.

Hideki Tojo didn't want to die, he felt that he shouldn't die here, otherwise he wouldn't have fled to Manabu in a panic with the young Prince Takahito of Mikasa, people are always selfish, the more a war maniac like Hideki Tojo actually cherishes his own life, and he won't give up his life easily until the last moment, but Hideki Tojo seems to have forgotten how many lives he lost with his own hands The morale of the troops has been depressed to the extreme, and almost every day there are officers and soldiers who have a nervous breakdown commit suicide in hopelessness.

On the other hand, the morale of the Koreans was slightly better than that of the dignified Japanese Kwantung Army, which was also difficult for Hideki Tojo to accept.

The original million-strong army, where the hope of reviving the imperial kingdom lies, now Tojo Hideki seems to be unreliable, if he had known that it would be such a result today.

It was more straightforward to do nothing in Japan at that time.

Hideki Tojo looked out the window at the trees floating in the cold wind and a few pitiful dead leaves that were still desperately struggling, isn't it a true portrayal of his own situation, recalling his family in Iwate Prefecture, the pride and ambition of the year are still gone, as the foursome he is always proud of, Nagata Tetsuyama, Koyan Toshiro and Okamura Ninji, he just played an unrelated role outside the door.

Nagata Tetsuyama was later known as the first brain in the army for his intelligence, and he had strong political ability, he was the recognized boss of the ruling faction, and he was a well-known important figure who shouldered the future of the Japanese Sixth Army.

However, Nagata Tetsuyama did not become a decisive figure in Tojo's later success.

As for Hideki Tojo himself, the opinion within the Japanese Sixth Army can be described as mixed.

A group of people represented by Nagata Tetsuyama attached great importance to his ability to act, but at the same time, a considerable number of people questioned his ideological ability, and the most representative figure was Ishihara Wanji, who was known as Japan's first military strategist.

In Ishihara's eyes, Hideki Tojo only had no virtue to solve, and even his appearance made him unbearable.

Behind the scenes, Ishihara said that it was commonplace for Tojo to speak ill of him, and that Tojo could only control ten machine guns, and beyond ten, he could not do anything.

Ishihara once said to his face that he had been promoted to 6 Hideki Tojo of the Abyss chair, Tojo Bu and other soldiers" caused the people who heard this to lead the mules back.

The harsh words that made him unbearable back then don't seem to be so unpleasant now, Hideki Tojo shifted his gaze back to the strategic map, and suddenly realized that the generals in the room were looking at him with an inexplicable gaze, and then he realized that he had lost his temper.

Suddenly, a young man hurriedly entered the conference room, muttered a few words in Tojo's ear, Tojo Hideki's face suddenly changed, and without even saying a word, he strode out of the conference room.

I almost fell off my head because of my hurried steps.

The person who made Hideki Tojo anxious to meet can be said to be very ordinary.

But the way to come is very unusual, sent by the special plane of the base camp, Komura Minami is Tojo Hideki's 6th time of the same townsman and classmate, and then retired due to physical discomfort, Tojo Hideki was extremely sorry that year.

After Komura Minami saw Hideki Tojo, the two of them first sighed with emotion, and then told Hideki Tojo a thunderbolt-like news on a sunny day, that is, the Chinese Expeditionary Force captured Hideki Tojo and captured Ikko.

Komura Minami shook his head helplessly and said: "I'm afraid Tojo-kun doesn't know that more than a million people lost their lives on the day the American-level bomb was dropped, but after that, all kinds of strange illnesses came one after another, and it is said that they are all a kind of radiation disease, and countless people lose their lives every day, which is really a vicious weapon to the extreme."

Hideki Tojo nodded silently, he sneaked away in the most important cans of the local operation, which is already a very dishonorable act, how can he be embarrassed to evaluate the local operation Komura Minami rubbed his hands and said, "I'm afraid I've already guessed the general meaning of my arrival, Tojo-kun."

Hideki Tojo glanced at Minami Komura with a dull gaze and made a gesture of please Komura Minami took out a handwritten letter from Emperor Hirohito from his bosom, respectfully placed it in front of Hideki Tojo, looking at the familiar pen style on the letter, Hideki Tojo knew that it was a handwritten letter from His Majesty the Emperor, but he didn't pick it up for a long time.

Seeing this, Komura Minami coughed, and pushed the letter to Tojo Hideki, Tojo Hideki picked up the letter with a trembling hand, and then Komura Minami took out another letter and said, "This is for His Royal Highness Prince Takahito of Mikasa Palace." ” Hideki Tojo let out a noncommittal sigh, and Minami Komura saw that Hideki Tojo had no intention of opening the letter, so he said: "The one over there asked me to bring you a message, you must die, if you want your family and friends to live, you must follow the instructions over there."

They will provide you with the conditions, even weapons, ammunition and soldiers. ” In Tojo Hideki's view, it's just a surrender, why do you have to involve weapons, ammunition, and soldiers, Tojo Hideki looked at Komura Minami in confusion, Komura Minami continued expressionlessly: "They want us to attack the Soviet Union and Russia, and then they promise to punish only the most heinous generals, and ordinary officers and soldiers will be repatriated to Japan through labor." ” The corners of Tojo Hideki's mouth twitched obviously, the Chinese's request is simply crazy, at this moment, although the Russians have exhausted their forces in the Far East, but where is the volume of the polar bear, the behemoth of the polar bear, and now it is facing a cold winter, what are the plans of the Chinese to attack the Russians to consume us They are not allies For a while, Hideki Tojo felt that the whole world went crazy, and his brain fell into an unprecedented chaos "The Chinese are going to rise, and they want to regain what they have lost before through the Japanese, Soviet, Qin, and delicate relations between the different camps of the Allies," Hideki Tojo's first reaction was that the Chinese were playing with fire.

This is a very, very dangerous signal and a move, especially for China.

But from another point of view, Hideki Tojo admired this very adventurous plan, which was even more adventurous than his determination to start the Pacific War, and he did not dare to imagine that there were such a strategic and adventurous person in the Chinese government Controlling his family and friends, using such despicable means to force people to Fan Tojo Hideki It is not difficult to guess who this guy is, facing Komura Minami, Tojo Hideki sighed and said: "It's Song Yuhang, only that kind of madman can come up with such a crazy plan, the Soviet Union and Russia are now almost all the strength of Germany, and the Far East, which still has an army of nearly one million people, has a garrison of less than 60,000 people at the moment, and the Russians are temporarily giving up their own backyard, Exchanging strategic depth for the density and depth of its forces on the front line with the Germans is a risky move to survive, and since the Far East has been disregarded, the so-called Far Eastern artery has lost its meaning. ” Hideki Tojo paused and said, "But after the Russians solve the Germans, when they turn back to the muzzle, can the Chinese still succeed in crushing the last straw that crushes the ostrich?"

Hideki Tojo suddenly asked, "Komura-kun, what will happen if I don't answer the conditions over there?"

Xiao Mura Nan smiled dismally: "With the character of that butcher, you should know better than me that the Tokyo Massacre was completely a conspiracy planned by him, and we were all worried that you would also carry out a massacre in Manchukuo or Netmura Ningci in China, and then lead the Chinese Expeditionary Force to a new round of massacre in the homeland."

Good thing you didn't do that. ” Tojo Hideki slightly raised his eyes and said: "The Manchurian Empire has been in business for so many years, Shiyin is raising the sword, that can only make us lose faster and more completely, alas, there are still some friends in China, I will pick you up at night, and introduce you to a friend I knew when I was the commander of the military police, and the current Manchurian National Police Chief Yan Yingjun." ” "Then how do you reply to that side," Komura asked tentatively.

Hideki Tojo looked at Komura Minami and said with a wry smile: "Do we have any other choice, ask them about their conditions, what help can they give us, otherwise attacking the Far East in this season, without the guns of the Soviets, just the cold can kill us." ” Hideki Tojo, who returned to his room, closed the door tightly, he knew that the news brought by Komura Minami definitely meant that it was equivalent to the meaning of the ultimatum, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force could be said to be an enemy to him, helping the enemy to complete the mission and achieve the goal Hideki Tojo took a deep breath, he knew that Song Yuhang on the Chinese side was also one.

Very radical ultra-nationalists, this seemingly crazy plan, can only come from the hands of ultra-nationalists.

And there can only be two extremes of this strategy, that is, to create an incomparably powerful China, or to drag China into the abyss of no return, and an incomparably powerful China is obviously not in line with the Soviet Union's Far East policy and Britain's Far East policy, I am afraid that at that time even the United States will stand up to stop China, so China's rise will be more hindered.

So whether Hideki Tojo is from his family or to prevent the rise of China, to create trouble for China, or more directly to help Song Yuhang open a diameter angle to hell, he also wants to help the Chinese complete this seemingly crazy plan We fight the Soviets, and the Chinese expeditionary force is chasing behind, after the Imperial Japanese Army surrenders and repatriates, then what remains is a direct confrontation between China and the Soviet Union, and the dog-eat-dog within the Allies will bring countless uncertain effects to the future world political situation, And these effects are what Hideki Tojo expects most.

Hideki Tojo hesitated.

Song Yuhang, who was pointing at Shanhaiguan, was preparing a large number of winter clothes for the troops, and the specific effect of the antifreeze shipped from the United States still needs to be tested, after all, many things in the laboratory are very immature, and they need to pay a painful price in practice, Song Yuhang does not want to pay the price, so he must be cautious.

Song Yuhang's expeditionary force has been fighting in the subtropical and tropical regions, and many officers and soldiers in his troops have not even seen snow to practice in the polar ice fields Song Yuhang has no time, and Song Yuhang is also a little helpless about the more serious the water and soil adaptation and very unsuitable for the dry and cold climate that many soldiers appear the further north they go, he is not a god, and he now has no time or conditions to form a special unit to undertake combat missions in the cold area, he can only do his best to use antifreeze cream, warm military boots, military uniforms, and coats.

Gloves, scarves, snow goggles, etc., were given to the troops, and the soldiers were taught how to deal with the cold as much as possible.

In the face of the new equipment of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the reorganized division commanders who had just been reequipped were collectively sour, and went to the logistics office to ask that the equipment was transferred from the United States by Chief Song, and even the Americans were not equipped with it.

Originally, I thought that the reorganized divisions were all American-style equipment, and the gap with the expeditionary force should be narrowed.

As a result, the gap was even greater, because the battle sequence was integrated within the expeditionary force.

Divisions, divisions, divisions, divisions, divisions, and other integrated divisions are all in the order of rearmament, while the units in Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan, and Changsha have not been reequipped Meet.

As the commander-in-chief of the last battle against the Japanese invaders, Chiang Kai-shek is still staying in Nanjing at the moment, although many things are busy after the government is still in the capital, but President Chiang himself is very leisurely, accompanied by Soong Meiling, after paying tribute to the mausoleum of the father of the nation, the two of them linger in the famous mountains and rivers almost every day, almost becoming a fairy couple, and the domestic disputes between the two parties have also ended with the large-scale use of troops in the northeast.

Although Song Yuhang admired some outstanding military commanders, strategists and political ancestors in that field, most of these feelings originated from historical figures, and as the supreme commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Song Yuhang did not have the courage to engage in any private meetings or express support.

In terms of politics, Song Yuhang seems very naïve, China has existed for thousands of years, among which the alternation of dynasties, especially in modern times, is even more chaotic, but Song Yuhang firmly believes that as long as the authorities are truly working for the welfare of thousands of ordinary people in China, always putting the interests of the people first, and putting the interests of the nation before the interests of the party and the country, then it will be supported and affirmed by the people.

As a very small number of people in power, do not take the vast majority of the country's wealth on their bodies, so that there will be no scene of boiling public resentment, and the roots of the Kuomintang are already too rotten to govern the party, the country, and the body first.

As Chiang Kai-shek once said, governing a big country is like cooking small fish and shrimp, but in Song Yuhang's view, it is the lack of an opportunity to reorganize, after a great victory, when the smoke of foreign gunpowder has not yet dissipated, gather a large number of enthusiastic soldiers to accomplish such a feat, and then convene the elites of all parties in the country to carry out a gradual democratic process with limited supervision under the supervision of the military government
