"But what?" Nagata Tetsuyama glanced at Ishihara, who was struggling, "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

"Hay." Ishihara nodded, and his tone suddenly became solemn: "After all, Korea is a peninsula, and it is covered with mountains and narrow terrain, which is not conducive to the entry and exit of mechanized troops. If the squadron attacks from north to south, the Korean army will always be able to resist, but if Chinese take advantage of the sea superiority to land on the west coast of Korea......" At this point, he turned his head to look at the Minister of the Navy on the side.

"The coastal defense batteries built in the major ports on the west coast of North Korea, and the navy has deployed 500 kamikaze aircraft on the Korean Peninsula, which is enough to ensure safety." Navy Minister Shigetaro Shimada replied: "If the North Korean army is still not at ease, then the navy can also deploy the newly established Yamato special attack force on the Korean Peninsula." ”

"Yamato Special Attack Force!?" Ishihara looked at Shimada with a puzzled face, the current Japanese army and navy have a variety of "special attack forces", but most of them are fools who have been sent to death, and they are of little value.

"This Yamato special attack force is not simple, the weapon they use is a manned missile! It was the P-35 manned missile that annihilated the combined fleet of the United States and Britain in the Battle of Bermuda. The missile has a speed of up to 650 kilometers per hour, can be filled with 500 kilograms of high explosives, and is piloted by a special attack team member to ram enemy warships! It felt invincible in naval battles, and with this weapon, perhaps the empire could reverse its decline, and there was no need for that relocation plan at all. ”

Speaking of this, Shigetaro Shimada was suddenly full of confidence again, and he smiled and said: "The German Führer Hitler has agreed to provide the production technology of the P-35 missile to the Reich, and will also provide a batch of ready-made missiles to us...... The goods have already been loaded from Hamburg and will be delivered by the end of the year, and will be ready for combat strength by the end of February next year at the latest. ”

"But what to do before the end of February next year?" Ishihara muttered to himself. If the squadron really wants to land on the west coast of North Korea, it should not be possible to wait until after the end of February next year.

"It is unlikely that the Chinese will land on the west coast of North Korea before the end of February next year, because they are preparing to attack the Philippine Islands and Java Island." Nagata Tetsuyama smiled and took over the topic. He said: "During this period, the Chinese continued to send planes and warships to attack targets on the Philippine Islands, and the intention of landing was already very obvious, and both the General Staff Headquarters and the Naval Command Department believed that the current direction of the Chinese Navy's attack was the Philippine Islands and Java Island, with the aim of opening up Australia's communication lines." ”

Ishihara pondered for a moment. Nodding, this judgment is very reasonable, the Philippine Islands and the Japanese East Indies are like two huge chains, blocking the Chinese Navy outside the Pacific Ocean, and blocking the line of communication between China and Western Australia, so this direction should be another main direction of attack for the Chinese.

"Ishihara-kun," Nagata Tetsuyama pointed to the west coast of North Korea and said to Ishihara, "Although it is unlikely that the Chinese will use the main naval force on the Korean Peninsula before settling the Philippine Islands, the North Korean army still needs to take necessary precautions. Major ports such as Incheon and Gunsan had to deploy heavy troops, and in addition, strong reserves were to be deployed in Pyongyang, Seoul, Busan, and other places. Always be ready to counterattack the Chinese landing force! ”

Ishihara snapped and was just about to say a few beautiful words such as unsuccessful and god-like, when a piercing air raid siren suddenly sounded!

……

The music played by the dragon flute is low and mournful, as if it speaks of the bleak sorrow of an empire that is about to fall. Japan's Showa Emperor Hirohito played the song intently, oblivious to the faint roar coming from outside the palace. Empress Ryoko and Imperial Cabinet Minister Koichi Kido knelt respectfully beside him.

This is an ancient piece of music inherited from the Japanese court of Gagaku, which was introduced from China during the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Meiji, the grandfather of Emperor Hirohito, was very fond of this ancient music, and in his later years he also established a band to play Gagaku in the court, and this "Chiaki Music" is one of Emperor Meiji's favorite pieces. Although Emperor Hirohito didn't like Agaku very much. However, believing himself to be the reincarnation of Emperor Meiji, he managed to learn to play the piece on the dragon flute. However, at this time, this originally melodious ancient music was played by Hirohito with great sadness, just like the national fortune of the Japanese Empire.

Empress Ryoko quietly glanced at the sky in the distance that was red by the firelight, tonight, the Chinese bombers once again visited the Japanese capital, and the scale was larger than the previous times, listening to the report of the Imperial Household Minister Kido Koichi that there were as many as 200! Moreover, these planes did not fly from Shanghai and the Shandong Peninsula in the west, but from Vladivostok in the north of the Japanese archipelago. Vladivostok is just over 1,000 kilometers from Tokyo, Japan, and medium bombers taking off from there can cover the combat radius of Tokyo. It seems that every night in the future there will be these nasty bombers to drop bombs...... I can't stay in this Tokyo.

Interior Minister Koichi Kido kept wiping his sweat just when the air raid siren sounded. He hurried to the palace where the emperor was, and asked the son of the god to take refuge in the bomb shelter that had just been dug. But Hirohito didn't know what was going on. I actually played the flute here! Chinese bombs don't have long eyes, just in case...... fell into the palace, and I don't know if Amaterasu will bless her children and grandchildren?

Just when Kido Koichi was thinking nonsense, Hirohito's flute stopped abruptly, and only a faint roar was left in the distance in the entire palace, and after a long time, Empress Ryoko and Minister Kido slapped lightly a few times, but Emperor Hirohito shook his head and sighed: "You didn't listen attentively!" As he spoke, he smiled bitterly again: "I played all the tunes wrong." ”

Empress Liangzi frowned, and said coquettishly: "The plane of the Storm Branch (referring to China) is getting closer and closer to the palace, Your Majesty should go to the basement to take shelter for a while." ”

Koichi Kido also echoed loudly: "Your Majesty's safety is related to the national system, and there is no room for failure, so please ask Your Majesty to take a break for a while." ”

Emperor Hirohito stood up in silence, he did not wear a military uniform in the palace, but a wide and ornate kimono, and the emperor walked into the courtyard without looking at the bleak autumn scenery of the garden. Instead, he looked up at the sky in the distance as if it was burning, and his eyebrows tightened.

"I don't know how many civilians will lose their homes tonight, those Chinese are so brutal, it's really hard to imagine that they were once a civilized and ancient country of etiquette." Hirohito muttered.

"They have been ruled by the barbaric Tatars for more than 300 years, and they have long forgotten their traditional culture, and China is no longer China." Minister of the Interior Kido replied.

"What about Japan?" Hirohito's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of helplessness: "If I leave, will Japan still be the same as it was?" Do I have one day to come back? ”

Kidoyuki's eyes turned slightly red, and he almost cried. Finally, he finally stabilized his voice: "Your Majesty, as long as you cheer up, the Great Japanese Empire will not sink." ”

Hirohito smiled faintly and turned his head: "Cheer up? …… I'm about to abandon my country and flee, so what's the point of cheering up! Although their Chinese Ming Sizong is the king of the fallen country, he also knows that the king is dead, but I want to ......"

Koichi Kido looked at Emperor Hirohito as if he was about to retreat, and hurriedly slapped his eyes at Empress Ryoko, who took a few steps forward and walked to her husband's side and said softly, "Your Majesty." All you're doing now is preserving some vitality for the empire in case something happens. The empire also had 6 million army and 8 million reservists. There is also the invincible Combined Fleet, which is certainly capable of thwarting the Force. ”

Hirohito gently stroked his wife's shoulder and sighed: "I also understand these truths, everything I am doing now is just in case...... Not only do I have to take precautions, but also those big chaebols and big bureaucrats. There are also royal ministers. Everyone is on the alert. Speaking of this, he looked at Kido and asked, "Kido Qing, how are the things arranged for the southern tour?" When can I leave? ”

Kido Koichi thought for a moment: "In order to avoid the destruction of the violent submarines, Your Majesty's southern tour will be carried out in secret, and the combined fleet will arrange the battleship Nagato Mutsu as Your Majesty's ship, and will also dispatch three aircraft carriers such as Ryuchi, Ryukaze, and Xiangfeng, two Myo-class heavy cruisers, three Nagara-class light cruisers, and fifteen destroyers to escort the ship." Thirty ships of 'pioneers' and important supplies will be on their way to New Japan with His Majesty...... It is only said that these warships are escorting transport fleets.

The total journey is about 10,000 kilometers. It takes about 11 days to sail and is scheduled to depart from the port of Yokohama on December 1st. On December 12th, you can reach the Port of New Tokyo. The New Japanese Garrison and the New Japan Prefecture Governor's Office have prepared secret residences for His Majesty, and a stand-in has been arranged here in Tokyo. Guaranteed to be foolproof. )”

Hirohito looked up to the sky, thought for a while, and asked, "Is there any progress on Matsuoka's side?" Did the Empress of Russia agree to mediation? Without waiting for Kido Yuki to reply, he took care of himself and ordered: "We must go all out on the battlefield, and the back road must be quietly arranged, and diplomatic matters must be paid close attention." It was useless for Hitler to intercede, so he tried the line of the Russian empress...... I have heard that this empress has an extraordinary relationship with the Chinese marshal, so this line must be bridged, even if it is not needed for the time being. Remember, the homeland is the foundation of the 70 million Japanese people (who don't want Koreans anymore), and in the event of a defeat on the part of the North Koreans, it is still the first choice to preserve the homeland. New Japan is just a last resort. ”

At the end, Emperor Hirohito's voice seemed to have a hint of anticipation.

……

If the autumn in Tokyo is filled with the gloom before the sunset of the empire, then the autumn in Northeast China is filled with a beautiful vision of the empire in the next thousand years and an atmosphere of optimism about the prospects of war.

Almost everyone is convinced that a new Oriental order belonging to China will soon be presented to the world.

Luo Yaoguo's arrival seemed to be a signal. Countless tanks, planes, artillery, armored vehicles of all kinds, and brigades of infantry poured into the north bank of the Yalu River through the Bac Ninh Railway, the Eastern Railway, and the sea transportation lines off the coast of North China.

The eastern part of Liaoning Province and the southern part of Jilin Province, as well as the southern part of Binhai Province, have become a sea of military uniforms. Everywhere there are signs of military zones and unit numbers, and the military police of the Beiyang Front, the security forces of Liaoji and Jilin provinces, as well as various military personnel, and police personnel patrol this area day and night. On all roads, bridges, ports, and ancient city gates, there were military guards, and anyone who entered and left the area was subject to the strictest checks. However, it is precisely because of such a tight security that everyone knows the main force of the Chinese National Defense Force. They have already assembled to the north of the Yalu River, waiting for the climate to turn cooler, and after the Yalu River freezes, they will wave their troops to the south and completely drive the Japanese troops who have been entrenched on Korean soil for more than 40 years into the sea!

The core of these Wehrmacht forces was the Second Panzer Army, which played a major role in the anti-Soviet campaign, and this group army had two incomparably powerful Panzer Corps under its jurisdiction, the Third and Fourth, each of which had two Panzer Divisions and one Panzergrenadier Division, for a total of four Panzer Divisions and two Panzergrenadier Divisions. More than 2,000 tanks and guns! The commander of this group army was Luo Yaoguo's protégé, General Xu Yunlong, who graduated from the first phase of the Huangpu Army, the first phase of the armored corps, and the third phase of Lu University. The commander of the Third Armored Corps is also General Luo Qi, who graduated from the first phase of the Whampoa Army, the first phase of the armored corps, and the third phase of the Lu University. The commander of the Fourth Panzer Army was Lieutenant General Qiu Qingquan, who had made great achievements in the anti-Soviet war. The commanders of the four armored divisions and the two armored grenadier divisions below were six lieutenant generals, including Zhang Lingfu, Dai Anlan, Luo Youlun, Wang Yaowu, Shi Jue, and Fang Xianjue, respectively, and the chief of staff of the group army was Major General Liao Yaoxiang, who graduated from the seventh phase of Huangpu. All of them are the elite of the Chinese National Defense Forces.

In addition to the famous First Panzer Army, there are also the numbers of 14 group armies, 28 armies and 94 infantry divisions, grenadier divisions, airborne divisions, mountain divisions and colonial divisions; Counting the 1st Panzer Army, the Chinese Defense Forces have concentrated a full 100 divisions of powerful army units north of the border between China and South Korea (referring to the Republic of Korea, China no longer recognizes the Korean Peninsula as belonging to Japan), with a theoretical total strength of more than 1.6 million!

Every Chinese officer and soldier here (presumably excluding colonial officers and soldiers) is now in a hot spot. They have the best equipment, they have received the best training, and some have accumulated valuable combat experience in this worldwide war. Moreover, there is a powerful imperialist motherland with the largest territory, the largest population, the most abundant resources, and the third place in industry in the world. They are destined to be the victorious side in the next battle to determine the domination of the world in the East. How could Japan, which was said to have been the hegemon of the East eight years ago, but now completely weakened, stop such a mighty army!

A convoy of cars was speeding on the road leading to the city of Shenyang, and a flag of the Marshal of the National Defense Army with a huge golden star fluttered in the autumn wind. The symbol of the marshal of the Wehrmacht is different from the five general stars of the marshal of the navy, army and air force, but a huge gold star, which is the highest rank in the Chinese National Defense Force, only Luo Yaoguo and Chiang Kai-shek. And Chiang Kai-shek is still working as a military adviser to Gandhi in India at the moment, not at home. Therefore, the owner of this convoy can only be Luo Yaoguo.

After he came to Shenyang, he did not point fingers at Bai Chongxi's headquarters. I didn't even spend a few days in Shenyang City. The duo of Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren, as well as the three atomic bombs that secretly arrived in Shenyang, made him 100% sure of the outcome of this war...... Well, of course, the decision on when to use the atomic bomb is still in Luo Yaoguo's own hands, and in addition, he doesn't bother much about the affairs of the entire Beiyang Front, and he is accompanied by Li Shunen, commander-in-chief of the Air Force, and Hou Jingru, commander of the Liaoning Provincial Security Command, and constantly inspects around Shenyang. At the same time, it also attracts the attention of everyone on both sides of the enemy.

Outside the window, it was already pitch black. Today, Luo Yaoguo went to inspect not the barracks, but the huge Anshan Iron and Steel Plant. This steel mill is China's steel investment of more than 1.5 billion legal currency, and it took 8 years to build to have the largest single plant in China. In 1940, the planned steel output of Anshan Iron and Steel Plant was as high as 5.5 million tons! That's almost double the amount of steel produced in Japan in 1939!

Recalling the huge factory like a small city he saw during the day today, Luo Yaoguo leaned on the back of the car seat with some pride, smiled and said to Li Shunen beside him: "This war between us and Japan, in the final analysis, is still a competition for comprehensive national strength, and we naturally have an absolute advantage in this regard." However, after all, Japan is also a country that has initially achieved industrialization, and since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government has been promoting militaristic education in the country for a long time, so that their people can more endure the pain and casualties of war, so we have no choice but to adopt the method of strategic bombing to weaken their industrial strength and destroy their war potential...... Fourth brother, how was the result of your air force in the past two days? ”

Lee Soon-eun's expression looked a little solemn, as if the effect of the bombing of Japan was not ideal. He shook his head slightly and said: "Our air force is actually a tactical air force, and the main bombers are A-4 Thunderhawk dive bombers and medium bombers such as He-111 and Ju-88 used to carry out tactical bombing missions, and only the FW-200 can barely be called a heavy bomber, but the size of this aircraft is still too small, and the bomb load is not large, so it is difficult to meet the needs of strategic bombing missions." What makes the younger brother even more troublesome is that the number of our medium and heavy bombers is obviously insufficient, only more than 1,500, and they are still scattered in three battlefields, and now there are less than 500 of them that can be used to bomb the Japanese mainland. ”
