Chapter 51: Armistice and Peace Talks

Late-night noises have awakened Japanese sleepers, and some have noticed something strange outside their windows, and the red sky in the distance reminds people of what is happening there. Overnight, 32 airports in Japan were attacked to varying degrees, half of the attacks came from the inside, and the other airports were breached from the outside by the attackers using heavy firepower, but these attacked airports all had one thing in common, that is, the runway and the planes in the hangar were all destroyed, and a large number of pilots were killed.

"Yaga, what do you do in the Defense Agency? Haven't we been able to get your attention from our repeated attacks? Why are there now attacks on airfields again? Didn't you say that the attackers had been cleared of them all? Emperor Hirohito, who was furious, rarely cursed, those officials of the Defense Agency had received a lot of slaps, and some of their faces were swollen like pigs' heads, but these still could not eliminate the anger in Emperor Hirohito's heart, 32 airports were destroyed, and those planes and pilots spent a lot of money and materials.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to look for responsibility, we need to make countermeasures now, with my research and understanding of Zhao Zhi, this person is good at sneak attacks, and most of them are left side attacks that do not enter the stream, but it is precisely this kind of left side attack that makes us unable to guard against it." Okamura Ninji, who was urgently recalled to Tokyo by Emperor Hirohito, played a game, but unfortunately he, the former defeated general under Zhao Zhi, did not have much weight in his words, and the cabinet had automatically filtered out what he had just said.

The cabinet ministers who were summoned into the palace late at night were hungry and discussed until midday, and then they worked out a way to deal with it, sending people to Kyushu Island to negotiate peace with Zhao Zhi, and try to delay Zhao Zhi as much as possible, so as to gain time to mobilize troops from elsewhere to defend the mainland and Kyushu Island. Then use the newspapers in the Japanese theater to smear Zhao Zhi, publicize the false news of Zhao Zhi's peace talks with Japan, divide the relationship between Zhao Zhi and the Nationalist Government, and when necessary, use the withdrawal of troops as bait to induce the Nationalist Government to take back control of Jiaodong, cut off Zhao Zhi's back road in Jiaodong, and make Zhao Zhi on Kyushu Island completely alone.

Okamura Ninji recommended himself to act as a messenger for peace talks with Zhao Zhi, this is not because he wants to behave blindly in front of Emperor Hirohito, Okamura Ninji is very interested in Zhao Zhi's old rival, and he just took this opportunity to meet his old rival. Of course, Zhao Zhi would not have known that the Japanese government had negotiated such a response, and when he received the armistice proposal sent by the Japanese army in Kitakyushu, Zhao Zhi did not slow down for a while, and his first reaction was not to believe it.

As long as the Japanese army pulls back troops from the Chinese theater or the islands of South Asia into Kyushu Island, once the Japanese reinforcements reach a strong scale, all Zhao Zhi can do is retreat to Jiaodong, why would Japan choose an armistice and peace talks instead of a strong counterattack? "Want peace talks? Okay, let's talk about it. Zhao Zhi did not agree to the delegation sent by the Japanese army to enter the Thunder Control Area, but directly asked the people to bring back their requests to their representatives or the emperor.

Zhao Zhi's refusal to allow the Japanese army representatives to enter the Thunder Control Area was not to provoke the Japanese army, but because the representative that the Japanese army was about to send was Okamura Ningji, who was more of a China expert than other Japanese commanders. Although Zhao Zhi is related to the United States in both lifetimes, these mercenaries under him are all Chinese, and Zhao Zhi is afraid that letting this old devil enter the mercenary-controlled area will give Okamura Ningji the opportunity to find out the current reality of Thunder.

Zhao Zhiming knew that the Japanese army proposed an armistice in order to delay time and to give them a chance to transfer troops to win the opportunity, of course Zhao Zhi would not break the Japanese plan, because he also needed to delay time now, as long as the remaining seven days were delayed, as long as the US fleet appeared in Japanese waters, no matter how many troops the Japanese army transferred, it would be useless. "Go back and tell your cabinet that I want Kyushu Island, as long as you give Kyushu Island to me, the Thunder will stop the plan to attack Honshu Island." Zhao Zhishi opened his mouth and directly asked Japan for the ownership of Kyushu Island.

"Baga, Zhao Zhi, this bastard, absolutely not, you can't give him Kyushu Island, Thunder gets Kyushu Island, and you can send his fighter troops to bomb any city in mainland Japan at any time, this is absolutely impossible." Just a cursory look at Zhao Zhi's request, the cabinet has already blown up the nest and given Kyushu Island to Zhao Zhi, which is no less than hanging a sharp sword over Japan's head, as long as Zhao Zhi is willing, this sharp sword can be cut down at any time.

"It is absolutely not possible to give up territory, we can give him money, give beautiful women, or canonize him as the prince of our Great Japanese Empire, as long as he is no longer an enemy of our Great Japanese Empire, we can also marry our noble princess to him, and let him become a member of the imperial family of our Great Japanese Empire." Zhao Zhi does not seem to be short of money, and Zhao Zhi has now become the actual controller of Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and other places, and the high-ranking officials Houlu have no role to play for him.

"Sir, the Japanese cabinet said that they want to marry their royal princess to you, so that you can become a member of their royal family, as long as you are no longer an enemy of them, and your children will also enjoy the right to inherit the throne in the future." The intelligence staff officer who volunteered to serve as a Japanese translator looked at Zhao Zhi with a dirty face, marrying a princess is a matter of glory and glory, don't care if you are Japanese or not, bring the woman back first, you can give it away if it is not good-looking, there are many single guys in the mercenaries.

Japan has always been brazen, but Zhao Zhi did not expect that the Japanese would be shameless to such an extent, Zhao Zhi can now control the area of Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and perhaps Jeju Island, these places together seem to exceed the area of the entire Japan, people with brain problems will be greedy for some bullshit Japanese royal status or willing to become the prince of Japan.

"You go back and tell them that I thank them so much, that I already have a wife, and that I will soon have my first child. If they can consider giving up the throne to my children now, I can consider stopping the attack on Honshu Island now. Zhao Zhi said a lot of things with a black face, and took away the messenger sent by the Japanese, Zhao Zhi hurriedly sent a telegram to Rowling in Mandalay, telling Rowling this in advance.

After Rowling became pregnant, she became a little irritable, and the Jewish female soldiers who guarded her were tossed by Rowling, and Yu Dazhi had been staying in the training camp and did not dare to return to Mandalay, that is, Zhang Lan could still sit down and talk to Rowling. The peace talks made by the Japanese are just a delaying tactic, and all the princes and princesses are smoke bombs, and Zhao Zhi knows these things. He had already expected that the Japanese would not have only this means, so he had to explain to Rowling in advance that the neurotic woman in the province would suddenly fly to Kyushu Island to question him.

Rowling is certainly not a cautious woman, Rowling from a wealthy family is not a simple woman, after receiving Zhao Zhi's telegram, Rowling immediately summoned her staff, and the answers given by the staff were basically the same as Zhao Zhi's expectations. They also judged that Japan's move was to delay time, and it was just an expedient measure to canonize the prince to marry the princess, and once Japan freed up its hands to deploy troops in place, Kyushu Island would immediately become a hot battlefield again.

"Contact the Philippine U.S. Command and ask them when the fleet will appear in Japanese waters." Kyushu Island has been turned into a pot of porridge, but the US fleet has not moved, and Rowling, who was born in the Rockman family, naturally did not have a good face for them. The cooperation between Thunder and the United States was facilitated by the Lockman family, and Zhao Zhi is Rowling's man, both public and private, Rowling will not watch Zhao Zhi become a lone soldier besieged by the Japanese army on Kyushu Island, and her child cannot be without a father after birth.

Zhao Zhi's plan to cut through Shandong delayed the time for the Kwantung Army to move south for the South Asian American army, and Yan Wudao made a mess in southern Korea, coupled with the ongoing battle on Kyushu Island, in fact, the Thunder has directly contained at least more than 12 Japanese divisions for the South Asian American army, and if you count those indirect or passive Japanese divisions, the total number of Japanese divisions and regiments affected by the thunder may exceed 22 divisions. In the final analysis, the Thunder is just a private army, and it is already very good to be able to do this part, and if the US military still wants to achieve the final victory in the South Asian theater, supporting the Thunder is the best choice.

Zhao Zhi, who received Rowling's call back, finally put his mind at ease, if Zhao Zhi is worried about anything now, it is the child that Rowling is carrying in his womb, this is the first child in Zhao Zhi's life, and naturally there is no room for loss. Zhao Zhi, who eliminated his worries, began to play Tai Chi with the Japanese, and the Japanese were naturally happy to have such a situation, because they also needed time. As a result, the battle-torn island of Kyushu suddenly quieted down, and the Japanese army organized a defensive line on the front line of Zongxiang, Zhifang, and Xingqiao, and formed a confrontation situation with the more than 200,000 mixed troops of Thunder.

"Don't be in a hurry, there are battles for you." The mercenaries who were withdrawn by Zhao Zhi to rest and recuperate were only idle for a day and couldn't bear it, and now they have such a good opportunity, of course, they want to drive the Japanese army entrenched in Kitakyushu into the sea in one go, why do they have to stop fighting with the Japanese army and harm themselves all day long is to sleep and eat.
