spn When an hour passed and more and more intelligence came to Tokyo, Tojo Hideki could no longer sit still.

Twenty minutes later, a top-secret meeting was being held underground in the emperor's secret residence.

The emperor's face is still twitching with anger from time to time. He originally thought that after making such a huge sacrifice, he could withdraw at least one-third, or even less than a quarter of his troops.

However, the current situation is that in addition to a few thousand people boarding the ship, there are less than 10,000 troops who can board the ship later. Later, the poisonous gas even began to spread toward the sea, and the entire sea surface hundreds of meters offshore was full of erratic gas.

With the poisonous gas, dead fish and shrimps floated up

In the video, the fleet participating in the retreat plan only needed a light to see the terrifying scene in the death zone of the entire offshore sea. Looking at the posture, who dared to approach the shore, most of them turned around and ran away, let alone being caught.

If you are messed with poisonous gas, you will even be caught on a Chinese plane.

"His Majesty the Emperor, based on comprehensive intelligence from all aspects, including the Far East battlefield, China's domestic territory, and even intelligence provided by the Americans, the Chinese have indeed used a large amount of poison gas to attack the entire Vanino coast.

A poisonous gas isolation belt was created in a long and narrow area.[

Judging from the entire situation, the plan for a major retreat already lacks feasibility. Even if we pay huge losses, it is likely to be ineffective.

As for North Korea, a division of the [Chinese] vanguard has arrived near Seoul..."

Although the entire simple pre-meeting report was full of failure after failure, Tojo still could only report truthfully, and the entire meeting fell into a solemn atmosphere with his report.

The failure of the Far East battlefield, the stranding of the great evacuation plan, and even the more than one million Japanese troops who were once again trapped in a tight siege and could not escape. Even though they were only more than 20 kilometers away from Sakhalin Island, the Chinese people were almost

The air force fighter planes floating on the strait twenty-four hours a day have turned any possible large-scale evacuation into a luxury, often resulting in losses of two to three months.

In addition to sending ships from China, even if there were no obstacles, the Japanese army on the Vanino side could not find a ship that was enough to transport a battalion, and the losses were all clean. The strait is narrow, and it is relatively easy to escape, but

The narrowness of the strait also facilitates aerial surveillance and strikes by the Chinese. A mere target strait has now become the dividing line between hell and heaven in the eyes of the Japanese army.

The defeat in the Korean battlefield was even more like a catastrophe that was close at hand. Unlike places in the Far East, the loss was only the army. But once North Korea was completely lost, the hundreds of thousands of troops would have no chance to escape across the sea.

Japan is not mentioned at all, but the Chinese want to attack Japan across the sea from North Korea.

It is very convenient. Originally, the Tsushima Strait was only a hundred kilometers wide. Although it was wider than the Shoe Target Strait above its head, there was also a large Japanese island in the middle. It can be said that the Chinese people

With just two jumps, you can land anywhere on the west coast of Japan for 50 kilometers at a time.

With their powerful air-to-ground support, the Japanese army is likely to face a huge disaster, allowing the Chinese to land.

The high-level Japanese military and political officials who were shrouded in despair did not feel desperate because the empire had been completely defeated, but felt desperate because they could not defeat the Chinese people no matter what.

Although the [Chinese] people are still on the edge of Seoul, it will take at least a month to conquer the entire North Korea, and it will take a few months at the fastest to attack [Japan] after stabilizing it. However, this kind of despair makes people see

There is no hope, all that can be seen is defeat, continuous defeat, total defeat by sea, land and air.

Tojo talked for a long time, then he slowly stopped and said conclusively, "Judging from the war between China and Japan, the Sino-Soviet war, and the Sino-American and British war in Southeast Asia, the overall strength of the Chinese people has

It rose to a very terrifying height.

The most important thing is that they have no enemy they can fight against. We have been at a disadvantage in all our encounters with them. The Soviet Union even lost most of its territory. Britain and the United States have suffered heavy losses in Southeast Asia and are planning to retreat...

In the years since World War II, the records of combat between various countries and China have hardly been advantageous, although this is related to China's special geographical location.

The Americans are separated by huge seas, making it difficult for the enemy to do anything. Although China borders many countries, it does not have a real opponent, especially when Japan itself was defeated by China, and the Soviet Union

Too busy to take care of itself, after the Anglo-American coalition's offensive in Southeast Asia failed, China's posture of getting stronger and stronger despite being surrounded by enemies made the Japanese feel a little desperate.

The great evacuation plan...Facing a natural disaster, North Korea was in danger, which made the top military and political leaders of Japan, and even the emperor himself, feel deeply troubled.

"If we negotiate with the [Chinese] people and sign an agreement on the Far East and North Korea, will the [Chinese] people agree to allow our troops in the Far East to withdraw?"

When the emperor saw Tojo Hideki finished speaking, he asked worriedly. He was very unwilling to bow to the Chinese people. The last time Tojo Hideki mentioned this negotiation, he was furious, but it was just

A year later, this initial strategic response plan has now become a solution to the problem that can be put on the table.

"It may not be enough. Given the appetite of the [Chinese] people, if they just promise to completely abandon the Far East and North Korea, they may look down upon it."

Lu Xiang Nanjiro shook his head and said.

Other military and political officials, especially the backbone members of the military department, couldn't help but nod. It was simply ridiculous that the Emperor actually wanted to use these two conditions that were not worth mentioning to make the Chinese people make concessions.

However, in this moment of crisis for Japan, they also know that the military and the emperor are inseparable from each other.[

Everyone discussed in low voices again. Seeing that the method he proposed would not work, the emperor could only look at Tojo Hideki, the highest military officer, whose actual power actually exceeded his own, the highest commander of the Japanese army.

"Your Majesty! Not long ago, we received news that the British and American coalition forces were preparing to withdraw to India. The German troops in the western region of the Indian border have made major changes and are likely to launch an Indian offensive. The British and American coalition forces are eager to shrink their forces and abandon Southeast Asia. In fact, they are trying to defend India. India

In addition to possessing various resources, the most important thing is that it provides a large number of soldiers to the allies.

Once the Allied forces withdraw from Southeast Asia, Southeast Asia will essentially fall into the hands of the Chinese.

We can start negotiations with the [Chinese] people and commit [Japanese] military power to withdraw from Southeast Asia.

Even if [China] is willing to sign a comprehensive armistice agreement, we can consider handing over Indonesia to them. [China] has stated many times that their Southeast Asian provinces will cover the entire Southeast Asia, and Indonesia will also be their next

One of the appetites.”

Tojo Hideki's words immediately caused a shocked discussion in low voices.

"What? Give up Indonesia!!"

"That is the empire's new energy source, providing a large amount of ore, oil and grain every year. "Yes, how can Indonesia be lost?"

The low-pitched discussions continued, but Tojo Hideki seemed to turn a deaf ear, and did not glance coldly like usual, but just stood there calmly.

"Does General Tojo think that comprehensive negotiations are really necessary? The Allies may not agree."

He had to admit that when he heard that Hideki Tojo was willing to give up Indonesia in exchange for a comprehensive armistice agreement, he was very shocked. At the same time, he suddenly saw another path. He seemed to understand Hideki Tojo's thoughts.

"Your Majesty! When the Empire withdrew from [China] thirteen years ago, we obtained the armistice by selling a large amount of benefits, especially indemnities and imperial labor. At that time, the [Chinese] people were lacking in strength and were eager to

Concentrate all efforts to complete the reunification of the country and then comprehensively develop the domestic economy, so the negotiations were successful.

However, this time, the [Chinese] people are at the peak of their national strength, and their military combat effectiveness exceeds that of our [Japanese] empire. Even the U.S. military is not an opponent. If we go head-to-head, we are likely to lose too much.

Although we retreated from the [Chinese] country back then, our foundation was not damaged. But now, once the [Chinese] people concentrate all their efforts on attacking the empire, the empire will pay a price that is too heavy to imagine.

The strength of the "Chinese" people is no longer something that a country or a nation can resist. As we discussed before, the strength of the "Chinese" people can only be countered by concentrating the power of the entire Allied Powers."

Tojo Hideki glanced coldly at those short-sighted guys, but nodded slightly to Ishihara Wanji and others. In the discussion just now, Ishihara and others also refuted the opinions of those around them.

"We don't need to be anxious about temporary gains and losses. Once the [China] people are finally defeated, the whole of Asia will be decided by the [Japanese] empire. The Soviet Union's vitality is greatly weakened, but the empire can intimidate the entire Asia. Although Indonesia is big, it can intimidate the whole of Asia.

If one day the [Chinese] people are defeated, we may even get half of the [Chinese] country.

Because, I think that when the Chinese people are forced to face the entire Allied Powers, they will have only two ways out: defeat and surrender negotiations.

Now we are exchanging Southeast Asian territories occupied by a large number of empires such as Indonesia for negotiations, just for a buffer time."

Tojo Hideki's words are very simple. The Japanese Empire is not retreating, but is temporarily forbearing strategically.

After a long silence, the emperor suddenly smiled and said, "Very good. According to General Tojo's wishes, we will negotiate with the Chinese people. The conditions can be North Korea, the Far East and Southeast Asia. We can even withdraw our troops at the same time as the Allies."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"[

Tojo Hideki said with relief.

Zhang Shusheng came to the office early in the morning and saw Foreign Minister Li Zongren and Defense Minister Cai Wei waiting for him there. When he asked, it turned out that it was about Japan.

Entering the office, the topic was naturally related to the war in the Far East.

"Chairman, the fight in the Far East is good. The devils are unable to escape this time. No, the devils are rushing to negotiate with us!" At this time, the Chinese Air Force dropped a large amount of poisonous gas from the distance.

Two days have passed since the poison gas isolation zone. The Japanese troops in the Far East were unable to advance or retreat. They died in large numbers under the poison gas. The remaining troops have begun to move towards the north-south direction where the [Central] *** team is located.

"It seems that the Japanese Japanese are showing signs of surrender." Cai Zhen said with a smile and glanced at Li Zongren next to him, "Chairman, the Japanese have made the same mistake as they did thirteen years ago again, and they can't win."

I just want to negotiate.”

"Oh? Zong Ren, tell me, what kind of negotiation." After Zhang Shusheng sat down, he motioned for the two of them to sit down and talk.

Li Zongren: "Yes, Chairman of the Generalissimo. [Japanese] himself conveyed his willingness to negotiate armistice to us today through the ambassador of the neutral country Switzerland to [China]..."

From time to time, Li Zongren explained the cause and effect.

It turns out that Japan is about to be defeated in the Far East, and North Korea will soon fall. In panic, and after getting tacit approval from the Americans, they are willing to start a fight with China over issues such as the Far East issue, the Korean issue, and concessions in Southeast Asia.

Comprehensive negotiations.

[Japan] hopes to exchange the Japanese troops in the Far East back to the country through negotiations. At the same time, they will recognize [China]'s formal occupation of North Korea and Japanese-controlled areas in Southeast Asia.

From the Japanese "government" representative who came with the Swiss ambassador, Li Zongren even heard some special proposals about Southeast Asia.

"Japan actually intends to use Indonesia, the largest and richest region occupied by Japan in Southeast Asia, to negotiate!"

Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This Japanese was really flexible and flexible. Putting aside the conspiracy, at least politically he had the courage to let go.

In later generations, Zhang Shusheng once experienced the strange mentality of the Japanese. Sometimes they seemed to be full of self-confidence as enemies of the universe, and sometimes they were like villains wagging their tails in front of their American masters. Sometimes they were pretending to be generous, and sometimes they were stingy to the extreme. On the other hand,

[China] has always adopted the policy of tolerance on many major international issues: "endure it, let it go, avoid it, endure it, respect it,

Ignore it, wait a few more years, and you will see it." This sentence can be said to be the greatest portrayal of the "China" country in later generations.

Power is too dispersed, and the constraints of all parties are extremely large, making it difficult for a nation to express a unified voice, and thus being often played around by Japan. 1 From economic and trade exchanges to large territorial disputes, at the height of the country and

In terms of major national interests, the losses suffered by the enemy are countless.

Today, the Japanese still want to use this trick. If they can't defeat you, they will pretend to be grandson and negotiate. If they can't defeat you, they will subjugate your country and exterminate you. Zhang Shu will not accept this trick.

The reason why we negotiated with the Japanese and stopped after gaining greater benefits was that we were eager to complete the founding of the country, concentrate on the economy, and liberate the Chinese people who were suffering from war and poverty.
