At the same time, at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

Hirohito, who had been in a coma for several hours, finally woke up.

Seeing that Hirohito had finally woken up, the military and political ministers such as Kanin Miyazahito, Fushimi Miyahiro, Konoe Fumi, and Sugiyama Moto, who were kneeling in front of the imperial couch, were all relieved.

Hirohito's gaze swept over the faces of the military and political officials, and asked faintly: "Gentlemen, how is the battle situation in Nanjing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty." War Minister Sugiyama Yuan hurriedly replied, "The battle on the Nanjing side has ended, and the Kumamoto Division suffered a big defeat and lost one and a half wings, but fortunately, the Imperial Wing flags of both wings were recovered, in addition to the loss of a tank squadron and a combat defense artillery squad. ”

"Sure enough." Hirohito sighed and said, "Sure enough. ”

"Your Majesty, you must not be angry." Xianyuan Gong Zairen hurriedly persuaded him, "A mere infantry wing or two is nothing to the empire, and it is even less worth mentioning to the entire Great East Asian Holy War. ”

"Uncle Huang is right, the loss of only one or two infantry wings is indeed nothing for the empire and for the Great East Asia Holy War." Hirohito nodded, then changed his words again, and continued, "But this battle is different, this battle is being broadcast live to the entire empire through NHK radio station!" ”

Xianyuan Gong Zairen immediately fell silent.

Konoe Fumiro and other ministers were also speechless.

Hirohito sighed again and said quietly, "If I guessed correctly, the people of the entire empire should be very disappointed by now, right?" You must be extremely disappointed with the performance of the Imperial Army in Nanjing, right? ”

Hearing this, Tada Jun hurriedly knelt down and sat up, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, this is all the minister's fault!" ”

Shimomura didn't care about falling into the well to Tada Jun, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has ordered NHK to stop live broadcasting!" ”

Hirohito waved his hand, interrupted Tada Jun and Shimomura Ding, and said to Tada-kun: "Tada-kun, it's not your fault, you proposed to broadcast the Battle of Nanjing live through NHK, which is good!" ”

After a pause, Hirohito said to Shimomura again: "Shimomura-kun, NHK's live broadcast can't be stopped!" As the saying goes, there is no turning back from the bow, since the empire has taken the initiative to provoke this war of public opinion, it must be held on until the winner is decided, and I firmly believe that the empire will be able to achieve the final victory! ”

"Hello!" Shimomura paused and said, "The minister understands!" ”

"Yo Si." Hirohito nodded and said, "Later, I will personally make a radio speech to reassure the army and the people!" ”

"Your Majesty, your body?" Xianyuan Gong Zairen said worriedly, "Otherwise, it's better for the old minister to do it for you, right?" ”

"It's okay, my body is fine, at least I won't be able to die for a short time." Hirohito waved his hand and said, "Although you are highly respected, Uncle Huang, at this time, it is better for me to come forward in person." ”

"Hello!" Xianyuan Palace Zai Ren paused, and didn't say anything more at the moment.

……

At this time, in the basement of the Nanjing Central News Agency.

Zhong Yi stared coldly at the devil in front of him and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Tanaka Junji glanced at Zhong Yi indifferently, although he wondered how the Chinese officer in front of him could speak Japanese, but he didn't bother to reply at all, and looked away with disdain.

Zhao Hanxing, who was standing behind Tanaka Junji, immediately reached out and grabbed his head, forcing him to turn around and face Zhong Yi.

Chi Peng on the other side was also not to be left behind, and slapped Tanaka Junyoshi with his hand, and then said viciously: "What do we ask you about the group, if you don't want to die, answer quickly!" ”

Half of Tanaka's face immediately swollen, but he still didn't say anything.

Zhong Yi said to Zhao Hanxing: "Hanxing, cut off one of his fingers!" ”

"Okay!" Zhao Hanxing's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light when he heard this, grabbed Tanaka Junji's right hand and pressed it on the table in front of him, and forced him to stretch out the little finger of his right hand, and then pulled out the Sukehiro saber with a single knife, and cut off Tanaka Junji's right little finger.

"Ahh......h

Zhong Yi glared at Tanaka Junji coldly, and said in Japanese: "You'd better answer my question honestly, otherwise, I will cut off your ten fingers and ten toes, then your limbs, and then your life, until I finally cut you into a human stick. ”

Hearing this, Tanaka Gunyoshi finally couldn't stay indifferent anymore, and his eyes began to show a look of fear.

To put it bluntly, there are really people in this world who are not afraid of death, but there is absolutely no one who is not afraid of not being able to survive and die!

And being cut off limbs and being an adult, just thinking about it already made Tanaka Junyoshi shudder!

Zhong Yi paused, and then asked, "What's the name?" ”

This time Tanaka Gunyoshi replied honestly: "Tanaka Gunyoshi." ”

Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "Military rank? ”

Tanaka Gunyoshi replied: "The 6th Squadron of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 13th Infantry Wing of the 13th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army, the captain of the squadron. ”

Zhong Yi then asked, "How many people have you killed since you came to China?" How many of them are innocent and unarmed? ”

Tanaka Junyoshi replied: "There are at least more than 500 people, and most of them are ordinary people!" ”

"Good!" Zhong Yi endured the intense murderous intent, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the row of devil prisoners of war hanging on the wall, and the mouths of this row of devil prisoners of war were stuffed with strips of cloth, and they couldn't make a sound.

Zhong Yi said: "How many prisoners of war do you know here?" Which of them have killed? ”

Tanaka Junyoshi turned his head to look at the row of prisoners of war and said, "I know them all, except for Nanjun, they have all killed people. ”

"Nanjun?" Zhong Yi asked, "Which one is Nanjun?" ”

"That." Tanaka Gunyoshi pointed to one of the prisoners of war.

"Good." Zhong Yi nodded, and when he was about to continue the interrogation, Zhu Liangcheng hurriedly walked in.

"Tuanza!" Zhu Liangcheng walked up to Zhong Yi and whispered, "There is a situation over there in the security zone!" ”

Zhong Yi's expression froze when he heard this, and he turned his head to Zhao Hanxing and said, "Hanxing, take care of these devil prisoners of war, you must block their mouths with strips of cloth, and you must not let them commit suicide!" ”

"Understood!" Zhao Hanxing agreed, and immediately overturned a veteran soldier beside him, took off his socks from his feet, and then stuffed them into his mouth in Tanaka Junyoshi's frightened eyes!

Zhong Yi couldn't care about these anymore, and followed Zhu Liangcheng back to the ground.

As he walked forward, Zhong Yi asked, "Old Zhu, what's the situation?" ”

Zhu Liangcheng said: "Just now, at least one brigade of devils suddenly drove into the international security zone, occupied several buildings adjacent to Zhongshan Road, and built fortifications. ”
