spn Chapter 462 Nagano Incident: Dog bites dog and bites "hair"
In the evening, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, the new Emperor Takamatsu's temporary palace in the mountains.
The new head of the military, Kanaya Norizo, has been with Emperor Takamatsu in recent days. Although the actual location of the military is still in the mountains dozens of kilometers away, in times of crisis, Kanaya Norizo must hold on tight.
At least nominally speaking, Emperor Takamatsu is the legitimate Emperor of the Japanese Empire. The strength of the military has been weakened to a minimum due to the outbreak of nuclear war. At this time, we should not hold on to the new emperor and get involved in the surrender, and wait for the Chinese Empire
During the inventory, maybe everyone will suffer.
"Kanagu-kun, what do you think of the Hanking announcement issued by the Chinese earlier today?"[
Emperor Takamatsu put down the thick document in his hand. Yes, according to the original calculation, the document involved the complex situation between China and Japan.
At eight o'clock local time in Hanking, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of China issued a declaration called the "Hanking Proclamation."
In the announcement, spokesperson Li Zongren, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of China, claimed:
"...As the oldest nation in the world, the Chinese nation has always shown peace to others and treated others with friendliness. As the old saying goes, it is a pleasure to have friends from afar. However, in modern times, every guest who comes from afar has
They all feasted on the fat piece of meat called China.
The Chinese nation welcomed us with an inclusive and kind heart, but what we received were their guns and bayonets.
All this has caused indelible harm to the Chinese Empire, to our Chinese people, and to our Chinese people.
In order to maintain the dignity of the nation, to make up for the trauma of the nation, and to restore national confidence, the Supreme Council of the Empire decided that the only prerequisite for the armistice negotiations in this war is that the Allies declare conditional surrender. Otherwise, the Chinese Empire will use all means and its utmost efforts to ensure
The final victory of the Empire ensures the victory of the Axis Powers and ensures that the great victory of all peace-loving peoples is not destroyed...
We are very happy to see that the Japanese government can recognize its historical mistakes, reflect deeply, and make the difficult decision to surrender conditionally. We cautiously accept the Japanese government's remorse.
However, because the Japanese people have caused particularly heavy harm to us, we have decided after careful study that when the following conditions are met, our country will accept the terms of the Japanese government to surrender. Otherwise, the two countries will continue to be in a state of war. We reserve the right to use any
The right to arms and freedom.
1. The Chinese side has formed a war crimes investigation team to conduct an inventory of all Japanese war criminals since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894. As long as they have not been buried in the soil, they will be dug out and tried.
2. Abolish the emperor system and Japan becomes a special province for us.
3. Arrest militarists and search for potential harmful elements.
…”
Asked this question, Kanaya Norizan shook his head subconsciously.
It seemed that the idea of letting the emperor abdicate was Hirohito's, but it was actually the result of Kanaya Norizo's instigation. Hirohito's argument that he could rest in peace and recuperate and avoid the Chinese "government"'s pursuit of war crimes made Hirohito determined to throw the mess to
Prince Takamatsu.
In fact, Kanaya Norizo may have been a war-fighter in the past, but now he is an out-and-out peace-maker. He knows that although he is not the number one war fighter, and his position as chief of general staff is more like a puppet, he is really
If war crimes are to be liquidated, I will definitely not be able to escape.
Instead of waiting to be killed by an atomic bomb, or to be liquidated by the Chinese army after landing on the island, it is better to rely on one's reputation and seniority and use the opportunity of peace talks to wash away the charges of this war criminal.
"I don't have to choose between being a war criminal and being a traitor."
This is Kanaya Norizo’s inner confession in the dead of night.[
He has experienced the ups and downs of the Japanese regime at its peak, and has also experienced injuries during the bombing of the Imperial Palace. Miraculously, he only received minor nuclear radiation and minor injuries during the nuclear bombing of Tokyo.
, and even gained the reputation of rescuing the emperor.
Only those who have passed by death several times will know the horror of death. Kanaya Norizan has gone through a long mental journey from being a war-fighting sect in the past, to a swing sect in the mid-term, to a steadfast surrender sect now.
of.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the military headquarters has been disintegrated. The officers have gathered together and their attitudes towards the conditional surrender are not particularly consistent. However, there are still a large number of troops loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. The four nearby divisions will all
I swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor to the death, and I will support him to the end no matter what decision His Majesty the Emperor makes."
Kanaya Norizo tried to formulate a more tactful language, but the result was that he still seemed very eager, fearing that Takamatsu would 'reject the Chinese's request in anger'.
But luckily, Emperor Takamatsu and his were actually the same.
"Japan is no longer the Japan it used to be. Looking around Asia, are there any other countries besides China?"
Emperor Takamatsu smiled, as if he was joking casually.
When Kanaya Fansan heard this, he was horrified to realize, yes, are there other countries in Asia? No!!
There are only two countries in Asia, China and Japan!
"Your Majesty, I think we should agree to the Chinese people's request. Otherwise, Japan will never end well."
Kanaya Norsan knelt down, bowed to the end, and said in a weeping voice.
Takamatsu continued, "Yes. Between being liquidated and being wiped out, should we choose to be liquidated? Between subjugation and genocide, should we choose to subjugate the country? If we treat it to the end, tens of millions of people will eventually die under the nuclear attack.
, or choose to completely surrender to the Chinese, Lord Jingu, tell me how I should choose."
Kanaya Norizan stood up, also bursting into tears. Although this guy was an old fox, in fact, it would be false to say that he didn't have any feelings at this time.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, it is a fact that the power of the Chinese people cannot be stopped. They have the most powerful army in the world, the most powerful armored forces, the most powerful air force and navy in the world, and they also have the world's number one
And the only nuclear weapon. Little Japan is no longer able to fight against this awakening dragon.
Your Majesty, please leave the great mission of fighting the Chinese to the Americans. Japan is too close to China, Japan is too small, and the Yamato nation needs to change its appearance."
Kanaya Norizan thought that since the matter had come to this, it was better to confess to the emperor, lest the emperor mistakenly think that he was a military die-hard and the matter would become a big deal.
Emperor Takamatsu nodded, approvingly. It seemed that he had the same idea as Kanaya Norizo.
Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, seven-eighths of the Soviet Union... are now all Chinese territory.
Japan is not as big as a Chinese province, and it is only more than a hundred kilometers away from China. The Chinese military bases in North Korea and the Far East can bomb any corner of Japan in less than an hour.
"It's time to surrender completely. It's easy for everyone to say it. This is the life of tens of millions of people. I must not be a sinner of the Yamato nation."
Emperor Takamatsu shook his head, denying that dangerous possibility.
Kanaya Norizo: "How will His Majesty the Emperor prepare to respond?" [
"His Majesty Hirohito told me that there are a total of 35 elite divisions loyal to the imperial family. These divisions can be mobilized at any time. Although they are distributed on the four islands, there are currently only 35 divisions that can be mobilized around Nagano-Aichi Prefecture.
It has reached 15, which can be said to be a heavy gathering of troops."
Emperor Takamatsu stared at Kanaya Norizo and said seriously.
Kanaya Norizan was slightly startled. He didn't expect Hirohito to have such a method. Even with the military strictly controlling the Japanese army, he could still completely control 35 divisions.
"I have made contact. Most ordinary officers in the military have expressed their support for the emperor's decision, and more than 60% of the division commanders have also expressed their firm support for the emperor's decision."
When Kanaya Norizan said this, his eyes showed a fierce light, "The Chinese want to liquidate war criminals. I have sent people to control the group of uncooperative senior officials in the military department and can arrest them at any time.
Mid-level and senior military officers with experience in invading China or fighting in the Far East will also be arrested uniformly.
Your Majesty, this is the only thing I can do for you, Your Majesty, and for the Yamato nation.
Perhaps, the next person the Chinese want to arrest is the veteran!!"
Emperor Takamatsu couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. This Kanaya Norizo is indeed not simple. He is worthy of being an important minister of Japan. The key is to be able to persuade Hirohito to relinquish power at the most critical moment, and to be able to secretly contact so many military officers and division commanders, and to connect the emperor and the interim
The military headquarters is placed within the sphere of military influence that it firmly controls, which shows that it is not simple.
Of course, if you are a simple person, you cannot achieve the position of chief of general staff.
The most critical point, which Emperor Takamatsu may not understand, is that while Kanaya Norizo was ostracized by the military, he was trusted by Emperor Hirohito and was used to check and balance Tojo Hideki.
Although he was excluded, he was appointed as the person in charge of the training of new recruits. The appointment of many new division officers was directly or indirectly obtained by him from the military, or was implemented by Hirohito's military forces.
The current situation in Japan is that there are not many officers and soldiers who have committed war crimes against China. To be precise, they have never come back. In the battles in the Northeast and North China Plains, countless Japanese soldiers were captured, killed and wounded.
The Far East Campaign was completely screwed up.
Those so-called war criminals, except for a few mid-level and low-level officers, are basically concentrated in the military headquarters and are finished as soon as they are caught. The real new division commanders have not even had time to board China. Except for the Chinese planes flying overhead every day, they are not even
Know what the enemy looks like.
Therefore, the Chinese demands for the liquidation of war criminals and the arrest and trial of war criminals may seem harsh, but in fact they do not pose a threat to most officers and soldiers. Once the leaders are arrested, the matter will be resolved.
"This is best, then I'll leave everything to Mr. Jin Gu."
The Emperor bowed slightly and faced Kanaya Norizo. Kanaya Norizo naturally understood that Emperor Takamatsu was determined to surrender no matter what, to save the Yamato nation from being exterminated, and what he had to do was to act as a villain, as that dog that bites dog, to go
Arrest those war criminals, those so-called Yamato elites.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look in the direction of China and thought to himself, "Before any of the Chinese soldiers land on the island, Japan will be in chaos first. They can meet the requirements without firing a shot, but we have to
Just do it."
That night, a bloody arrest and massacre, known as the Nagano Incident in later local chronicles of the Yamato region, began. The leaders were none other than Emperor Takamatsu and the temporary head of the military department, Norizo Kanaya.
