Chapter 1015: One More Regret
"Why do you say surrender, not capture alive?" Ma Feiyan was very puzzled and said to Tanya, the eldest sister.
Tanya is speechless.
She didn't understand this, and naturally she didn't know that for this question, Meng Xiang and his think tanks also thought about it for a long time.
Meng Xiang didn't expect to catch Hirohito, and since he captured Hirohito alive, he had to maximize his benefits.
Although it was not enough to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it was easy to throw the remaining Japanese into chaos, and even the Japanese in India could light a fire.
"The large amount of unknown wealth and secrets in the hands of the Japanese imperial family is secondary, and most importantly, we need to make a game for the remaining Japanese.
Hirohito still has some surplus value. Meng Xiang was eager in his heart, a living emperor was definitely a treasure trove.
Now for the sake of the greater good, why not save some face for Hirohito with a surrender statement?
Even the face of the deified Hirohito itself is a great resource, and people in later generations simply can't imagine how much influence Hirohito will have when he was pushed to the peak of the god-making movement, that is, the words of the now down-and-out Hirohito make a large number of Japanese commit suicide are no problem, and Meng Xiang's next layout also needs to leave Hirohito with the dignity of a pocket of crotchcloth.
When you run out of use, it's not too late to slap your face.
"Idiot! Didn't you say you were going to get rid of that idiot? While the whole country was celebrating in China, Roosevelt on the other side of the ocean was furious.
In the eyes of the Americans, Japan has lost its usefulness.
The entire territory was occupied by the Chinese army, not to mention, even the things in the territory were relocated by the Chinese people. After being scraped by China, the Japanese mainland suddenly returned to the primitive society, and it was not even as good as the Philippines.
As for Japan's original strong army, how much is left now?
When the Chinese army received the Japanese warships in Yokohama and Yokosuka, which had cowered or sunk in docks and harbors, the most powerful Japanese combined fleet was already in ashes.
Japan's Indian Ocean Fleet, which was barely breathing, was only a second-rate level, and it could not even break through the Strait of Malacca.
Similarly, with the exception of some elite veterans in India, the elite veterans in Japan are basically dead.
Even if it is a new soldier, how much can he make up according to the base of the Japanese population of more than 20 million that has disappeared so far in a secret file in China? Even the reports of the Americans found that there were not many young and strong Japanese people left, and that it was better to lobby the indigenous people of Southeast Asia than to rely on the weak and sick Japanese.
Of course, just looking at the more than 30,000 casualties inflicted on the Chinese army by the more than 700,000 dead civilians in the Battle of Tokyo, we can understand that the Americans still underestimated the desperate efforts of the Japanese, the elderly, the weak, the women and the children. You must know that the 800,000 Japanese regular troops only included 40,000 Chinese troops in the casualty list.
However, the differences in cultural backgrounds and the conflict between the United States and Japan that had just ended, made the Americans, who were also in the layout of the world, calculate that the Japanese had more burdens than gains, so they did not hesitate to discard and only split the most valuable part of it.
After the crown prince of Akihito Jigong was looted by China and his whereabouts were unknown, Hirohito's youngest son, Yoshinomiya, was a strange commodity to live in.
The Americans thought that a young puppet would be much better for the Japanese in India than for a deified Hirohito with the idea. What's more, Hirohito, who understood that there was no good fruit from the puppet, resolutely refused to evacuate, and wanted to be martyred by jade.
As a result, the Americans also directly abandoned Hirohito, and even prepared to use Hirohito's life to curry favor with some of the forces that had disagreed due to the losses of the US-Japan war.
In one of Roosevelt's personal orders, Hirohito was to be burned in the flames along with the Chinese attacking forces in Tokyo. But apparently Hirohito was not as brave as he imagined, and the American agents who stayed behind were not as brave as he imagined.
Hirohito refused the plea to evacuate early, and while he was hesitant to set the fire to it, the American agents prepared to light some fires. It's just that they were either killed as Chinese spies by the crazy Japanese in the areas controlled by the Japanese, or they were killed as Japanese spies in the areas occupied by the Chinese army.
In Tokyo, a city that can easily be ignited, both sides are mindful of fire attacks.
It wasn't until the Japanese wanted to burn the fire jade that they found that the Chinese army that had been retiring in rotation had divided the fire isolation belts one after another to ensure that some uncontrolled fires were confined to a small area. Those withdrawn Chinese troops were more active in fire prevention and extinguishing than the Japanese.
Of course, the cleanliness of the ground is similar to that of the burned, except for the empty shell of the house that has been kept.
The spies of the Americans and the agents left behind when they fled were almost dead, and with the damage caused by the war, only one-eighth of the city of Tokyo was burned. Some Japanese civilians were burned to death, but it had little effect on the Chinese army.
And Hirohito has been hesitating, but he didn't expect Huaxia to attack so quickly, and it was too late when he wanted to leave.
Not only were there no Japanese and American planes in the air, but even underwater submarines could not escape.
In Tokyo Bay, 3 submarines were sunk by the Huaxia Navy. It is said that some high-level officials and bigwigs are crowded on the top. Of the more than 30 planes shot down over Tokyo, many high-ranking people were said to have lost their lives.
The Huaxia army found the body of Nagano Shushen charred half of his body in a fallen plane.
When the desperate Hirohito was hesitating to commit suicide for his wife, he was controlled by the Huaxia special forces led by Yuriko and Tanya before he could be disemboweled.
There were many high-ranking Japanese people who were captured along with them, and not all of them had the courage and luck to commit suicide.
More than 100 high-ranking officials and generals who were holding a mass suicide ceremony inside the Yasukuni Shrine were caught squarely by the Chinese troops who broke in, and except for more than 30 people who were directly killed for resisting, the other collectives were captured alive.
Among them is Hideki Tojo. The Americans would never come to his rescue.
In order to avoid the depreciation of the value of the righteous palace in their hands, the Americans only rescued a few people in the imperial family, and most of the imperial family was caught in the war in Tokyo. Hirohito had been similarly reluctant to let these royals go to India to trouble the step-palace that was about to be controlled, and most of the royals stayed.
And now, in addition to half of the suicides, there are still many people who are lucky, hoping that the Chinese people can deal with it according to some international practices, even if they are puppets, they are better than dead.
It's a pity that except for one Hirohito, Meng Xiang is not interested in those Japanese royal families. Those instructions to leave no prisoners were equally valid for them. Even if he directly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, the royal family who escaped the fate of being killed on the battlefield could not escape the next big trial.
All the Japanese who were stained with Chinese blood and sweat would be cleaned up in the great trial, and Meng Xiang had already issued an instruction that "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one".
Some of them can be cleaned up directly on the battlefield, and some of them are undoubtedly cut off after being convicted on the trial seat, which makes the Chinese people even happier.
When the battle of Tokyo came to an end on January 28, a large number of high-ranking Japanese officials who had fled to various corners were found out one after another.
A large amount of wealth was also found along with it.
Generally speaking, the country that loots a country is the easiest place to make a huge fortune. And the wealth looted in Tokyo surprised Meng Xiang.
The foundation of the major Japanese families accumulated since the Edo period is indeed abundant, and the harvest from this place alone is enough to compensate for the various expenses of Huaxia's invasion of Japan.
This does not include the various Chinese cultural relics that have been collected. Even if some of them were destroyed in the war, they were rich in cultural relics and needed to build at least a few more museums in Huaxia.
Although the battle was nearing its end, the clouds of death never moved over Tokyo.
Hirohito's edict of surrender worked, leaving far fewer civilians who jumped out to launch suicide attacks at every turn, and more people watched in a daze as the Chinese army and its vassals swept away the corners of Tokyo. Those who jumped out to resist quickly fell in pools of blood.
War is like that.
When the Japanese were wreaking havoc in Nanjing, Northeast China and other places, did they think of retribution?
"Hahaha, little devils, you also have today?" Mu Xuanzhu stood on the roof of the Matsuno Pavilion of the Japanese Imperial Palace, and after looking up to the sky and laughing for a while, he said to himself while crying, "Mother, the child has finally been avenged by your old man!" We captured the little devil emperor alive too! Finally, but the regret in my heart! ”
As a former member of Huya, Mu Xuanzhu also participated in the palace raid this time, and dragged Hirohito out of the secret passage with his own hands. The hatred of the village being slaughtered and the family being killed can only be moved away today, which makes Mu Xuanzhu sad and joyful, and it is difficult to calm down his emotions for a while.
"Let's come to Japan, and there is still one regret in our hearts!" Chen Erxi, who was silently by his side, said suddenly.
"It's a pity that the cherry blossoms haven't bloomed yet, and I can't climb to the top of Mt. Fuji, so I took the Japanese drunk and lay down the cherry blossoms." At the same time, Huya's teammate Huang Wenhua couldn't help but respond.
"Flower viewing is not a hobby of our soldiers!" Chen Erxi rolled his eyes and said, "Have you forgotten Meng Dashuai's sigh in that class?" ”
"That's right! Chairman Meng said that if you can't sprinkle a soak of urine on the top of the Yasukuni Shrine of the little devil, it will be a trip to Japan for nothing! Mu Xuanzhu's sanity finally got rid of the jokes between the two, and he couldn't help but continue, "Chairman Meng also said at that time, when to hang a Yasukuni shrine sign on the gate of the little devil's shrine and change it to a public toilet, it can be regarded as conquest!" ”
