Asquith received the terms of the armistice of the Chinese Empire from the British representative in Beijing, and immediately tore several telegrams to shreds in anger. Henry? Asquith understood that the emperor of the Chinese Empire would definitely not end the war easily this time, otherwise the Chinese Empire would not have offered such harsh conditions.

After the rage, Herbert? Henry? Asquith felt deeply helpless, it seemed that the British Empire could only fight to the end with the Chinese Empire, but according to the current war situation, the British Empire and even the entire League of Nations were in a very disadvantageous situation.

The high-ranking leaders of Germany, France, and Austria-Hungary were also indignant when they learned of the armistice conditions offered by the Chinese Empire, and no country would agree to such humiliating armistice conditions, and it seemed that they could only fight with the Chinese Empire.

After the Chinese Empire's army launched an attack on the British Indian colony, one of the member countries of the League of Nations immediately felt that the crisis was getting closer: Japan.

At the Prime Minister's Office in Tokyo, Japan, the current Prime Minister Katsura Taro said in a deep voice to former Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Kobo, Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Yubayashi and War Minister Terauchi Masatsu: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Chinese Empire has already attacked India, and now only we are left in Japan, and the Chinese Empire has not yet launched any action, but according to intelligence, a large number of troops recently expanded by the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire are being transferred to the surrounding areas of our Great Japanese Empire, and it may not be long. The troops of the Imperial Chinese Army will launch a landing operation on our Japanese mainland. ”

Former Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang said helplessly: "Our Imperial Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, like the main force of the US Navy, is currently trapped in Pearl Harbor and cannot be withdrawn to the mainland at all. ”

Minister of War Terauchi Masashi immediately said: "The two prime ministers can rest assured that at present, our army already has 66 standing heavy divisions, 80 standing light divisions and 260 garrison brigades, with a total strength of more than 7.6 million, while the militia Self-Defense Force also has a total strength of almost 8 million, the women's advance team has a total strength of almost 13 million, and the youth iron-blooded Imperial Force has a total strength of almost 10 million. Even if the Chinese Empire sent millions of troops to land on the mainland of our Great Japanese Empire, our Army of the Great Japanese Empire would be confident that it would drive the troops of the Chinese Empire into the sea. ”

Prime Minister Katsura Taro shook his head at this time and said: "The Chinese Empire has the advantage of the navy, and the coastal areas of our Imperial Japanese Empire are within the range of the naval artillery of the Chinese Empire, and the battle will be very difficult, and the army must be prepared for this, but the situation in various battlefields is very unfavorable for the entire international alliance, once the army of the Chinese Empire implements a landing operation against our Great Japanese Empire, our Great Japanese Empire can only rely on ourselves, and we will not get any support, for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, It's worth the price and sacrifice! ”

War Minister Terauchi Masashi nodded and said: "For the hardship of the battle, not only our regular troops of the Great Japanese Empire have been mentally prepared, but even the imperial subjects of the Militia Self-Defense Force, the Women's Advance Team, and the Young Iron Blood Imperial Team are also ready to sacrifice for the Great Japanese Empire at any time." ”

Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Yubayashi hesitated for a moment and said: "The personnel of our Foreign Ministry Embassy in Germany have received unconfirmed news that it is from Britain, France, Germany and Austria-Hungary that they secretly went to Beijing, the capital of the Chinese Empire, and wanted to negotiate an armistice with the Chinese Empire. ”

Prime Minister Katsura Taro, who was originally sitting in a chair, immediately stood up in horror when he heard Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Tomobayashi's words, "What? British, French, German and Austro-Hungarian people went to Beijing? ”

Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Yubayashi smiled bitterly and said: "It's a pity that the Chinese Empire is not ready to end this war like this, and has set a condition that is unacceptable to all countries of the League of Nations, as for what conditions there is no definite news, but the British, French, German and Austro-Hungarian people have already left Beijing in disgrace." ”

Prime Minister Katsura Taro breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his chair, "It's okay! As long as the entire League of Nations insists on fighting with the Chinese Empire, our Great Japanese Empire will still have a chance, and if the League of Nations falls apart, then the tens of millions of elite troops of the Chinese Empire will directly press on our Great Japanese Empire. ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang nodded and said: "The hatred between our Great Japanese Empire and the Chinese Empire is too deep, if it wasn't for the sudden outbreak of the epidemic in the Chinese Empire in the last war, maybe our Great Japanese Empire would not have been able to get out so easily, if nothing else, this time the Chinese Empire already has the heart to destroy our Great Japanese Empire, so no matter how difficult the situation is, our Great Japanese Empire must also persevere, and we must have the determination to rather be broken than destroyed." ”

In the temporary headquarters of the 1st Field Army of the Royal Army in Busan, Yalu Province, Yalu Province of the Chinese Empire, Wang Hongjun, commander of the 1st Field Army, said with a smile to Jiang Hui, Vice Minister of National Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Theater: "Old Jiang, our brothers haven't seen each other for a while, we must have a good drink tonight, and I will let people get a few hard dishes in a while, and our brothers will rest tonight as soon as they get drunk." ”

Jiang Hui said with a smile: "Isn't it, since your 1st Field Army was transferred from the vicinity of Beijing, our brothers haven't seen each other for almost a year and a half, so let's have a good drink tonight and chat!" ”

Wang Hongjun continued: "Now Your Majesty and the Ministry of National Defense are transferring the five newly formed temporary field armies to Yalujiang Province and Beidao Province, and now that you have returned with the naval fleet, Lao Jiang, the time is ripe for a landing on Japan, and as soon as the five temporary field armies are in place, the landing operation against Japan will officially begin!" ”

Jiang Hui frowned and said: "Lao Wang, the new five temporary field armies have only been formed for less than two months, and more than 95 percent of the officers and soldiers in them are reservists. ”

Wang Hongjun sighed and said: "The Japanese are indeed not easy to fight, according to the information of the intelligence department, in addition to the 66 standing heavy divisions and 30 standing light divisions before the war, the Japanese Army has expanded 50 standing light divisions and 260 garrison brigades, so that the total strength of the Japanese Army has exceeded 7.6 million!" ”

After a pause, Wang Hongjun continued: "The 7.6 million Japanese Army, to be honest, I am not too worried, but according to the intelligence department, the Japanese government has mobilized all of them, except for children under the age of 12 and the elderly who can't walk, and the militia self-defense force formed by Japan has exceeded 8 million, the Japanese women's advance team has exceeded 13 million, and the youth iron-blooded imperial team formed by Japan has also exceeded 10 million, and the Japanese nation is really crazy!" ”

Jiang Hui shook his head and said: "The Japanese have always been so crazy, otherwise Japan would not have challenged our Chinese Empire again and again, but now Japan is equivalent to all the people being soldiers, at this time we will launch a landing operation in Japan, is the right time?" You must know that the rest of the forces of the Royal Army have been pinned down by several battlefields, and if we carry out a landing operation against Japan, the only troops you can use in your hands, Lao Wang, are your 1st Field Army and 5 provisional field armies. ”

Wang Hongjun then said: "The battle plan for attacking Japan was formulated by His Majesty, and His Majesty said in a telegram to me that Japan has always been a problem for the henchmen of the Chinese Empire, and after this war, Japan must disappear. Moreover, His Majesty promised me that if necessary, His Majesty would also order the Ministry of Defense to form a number of temporary field armies to support the Japanese battlefield, and there would be no problem with dozens of them! ”

Jiang Hui smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty's hatred for Japan seems to have always been the same as when the Beiyang Naval Division was in the past, since Your Majesty said that, then let's study how to carry out landing operations against Japan!" ”

Wang Hongjun asked, "Old Jiang, how many warships did you bring back this time?" ”

Jiang Hui replied: "The Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet, except for the 8 Myth-class aircraft carriers and 32 submarines, the rest of the warships have been brought back by me, and the 8 Myth-class aircraft carriers and 32 submarines will cooperate with the first task force to continue to blockade the Pacific Fleet of the League of Nations in Pearl Harbor." ”

Wang Hongjun nodded and said: "The main thing that needs the navy this time is the support of large-caliber naval guns, and the Royal Air Force has gathered nearly 4,500 combat planes in order to cooperate with the landing in Japan this time, and now everything is ready, only waiting for 5 temporary field group armies." ”

At this time, the whole of Japan was shrouded in the atmosphere before the advent of the Great War, in a private house in Kumamoto City, Kyushu Island, Japan, Honda Hirono said to his wife Yoshizawa Aoi, daughter Sadako Honda and youngest son Shinji Honda with a painful face: "The Navy's telegram has been sent to the headquarters of our militia Self-Defense Forces in Kumamoto City, and the third child has been in the battle of Pearl Harbor, and like the boss, he has been loyal to the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

When his wife Aoi Yoshizawa and daughter Sadako Honda heard the news, they immediately cried bitterly, while Shinji Honda gritted his teeth and said: "Father, mother, sister, the third brother is loyal to the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor!" But the revenge of the third brother, our family must avenge, we must use the blood of those people in the Chinese Empire to pay tribute to the dead of the eldest brother and the third brother! ”

Honda Hirono wiped his eyes, and then said: "Listen to the superiors, the army of the Chinese Empire is about to land on the mainland of our Great Japanese Empire, and the opportunity to avenge the eldest and third has also come, as the head of the family, I hope that all the members of our family will fight with the army of the Chinese Empire until the last moment, and swear to defend every inch of our Great Japanese Empire!" ”

His wife, Aoi Yoshizawa, choked up and said: "Don't worry, husband, I must avenge the eldest and third with my own hands, and I will never become a prisoner of the Chinese Empire and insult the reputation of the Honda family!" ”

Her daughter Sadako Honda wiped away her tears and said through gritted teeth, "I'm going to kill all the Shina people!" ”

Shinji Honda stood up and said, "I won't disgrace our family either!" I will be the glory of the Honda family! ”

Then Hirono Honda gave his wife Aoi Yoshizawa, daughter Sadako Honda and youngest son Shinji Honda each a dagger, and then said in a deep voice: "This dagger was used at the last moment, for the honor of our Honda family, please!" ”

Honda Hirono went to the Militia Self-Defense Force in Kumamoto City to report that he was a squadron leader in the Kumamoto City Militia Self-Defense Force, and that Aoi Yoshizawa and Sadako Honda went to report to the Women's Advance Team in Kumamoto City, where Aoi Yoshizawa was a squad leader and Sadako Honda was a squadron leader.

Shinji Honda went to report to the Kumamoto City Youth Iron Blood Imperial Team after eating, and he was the squadron leader of the 97th Squadron of the 8th Brigade of the Kumamoto Youth Iron Blood Imperial Team.

As the war approached, the entire territory of Japan had been militarized, and even members of the Militia Self-Defense Force, the Women's Advance Team, and the Young Iron and Blood Imperial Brigade had to go home every day to eat, and even at night they had to rest at temporary stations in case war broke out at any time.

Shinji Honda arrived at an abandoned compound near his school, and at this time, most of the personnel of the 97th Squadron of the 8th Brigade of the Kumamoto City Youth Iron Blood Imperial Team were already practicing assassination actions with bamboo guns in the courtyard.

Shinji Honda saw Kawako Konno, the leader of his squadron's logistics team, and immediately called her over, and then said in a deep voice: "The army of the Chinese Empire is about to land on the mainland of our Great Japanese Empire, and our war is coming soon." ”

After all, Imano Kawako is a girl, and she is only fourteen years old, Shinji Honda's words made her face pale all of a sudden, "Honda-kun, the Chinese Empire...... Are the troops of the Chinese Empire really going to land? ”

Shinji Honda patted Kawako Konno on the shoulder and said, "Kawako, don't be afraid, our Great Japanese Empire will definitely defeat the Chinese Empire!" By the way, how much combat materiel does our squadron have now? ”

Kawako Konno immediately took out a small notebook from his coat pocket, "Our squadron now has 2 Type 38 repeating rifles with 51 rounds of ammunition, 10 single-shot rifles with 213 rounds of ammunition, 14 powder guns and a number of gunpowder and lead bullets, 29 grenades with wooden handles, food and other food, which is about enough for the 47 people in our squadron to eat for half a month." ”

Shinji Honda nodded and said, "Thanks to everyone's efforts, among all the squadrons of the Kumamoto City Youth Iron Blood Imperial Team, our 97th Squadron is definitely the squadron with the most weapons!" (To be continued.) )
