Invincible urban management

On July 7th, when the Japanese Imperial Government still refused to intervene, the Japanese Kwantung Army Command responded for the first time to the Shanghai Soviet Government’s request for peace talks—but it was not the request for weakness that the Red Army leaders and the traversers had expected. Instead, they unceremoniously raised a series of questions and demands: asked the Red Army to prove the authenticity of "heavy nuclear fission" and "chain reaction"; asked the Red Army to prove that the rockets they launched could indeed fly to Osaka ...Finally, they even asked the Red Army to send a nuclear weapon sample to Lushun for the Japanese ordnance department to verify its authenticity.Please use to visit this site.

Only when all the above requirements are met, will the Japanese Empire consider whether to negotiate a ceasefire with the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army at its discretion!

——Such an arrogant, absurd and outrageous negotiation premise completely angered the leaders of the Red Army and the traversers in Shanghai, and put the fourth nuclear strike against Japan on the agenda quickly—and also deliberately selected the currently available Among the selected nuclei, the one with the largest explosive yield.

In the middle of the night on July 7, Shanghai's Fifth Red Front Army launched a fourth nuclear bomb to Hiroshima, an important town in western Japan.This 7 million tons of TNT equivalent of hydrogen not only razed the entire urban area of ​​Hiroshima and many surrounding satellite towns to the ground, but also caused millions of people to die in the sky, and at least hundreds of acres of land were burned. It became glass... It also destroyed the neighboring Wugang Naval Guard House and Etajima Naval Academy, ruining the last essence of the Japanese Imperial Navy; and by the way, turned the Itsukushima Shrine, which has a history of more than 1000 years and is known as a world cultural heritage, into a ash.

In addition, the shock wave of this hydrogen also formed a huge wave in the narrow Seto Inland Sea.The embankment was severely broken, the farmland and the port town were flooded, and the Kansai region of Japan was swept away... all of a sudden.All railway, road and sea traffic in western Japan was interrupted, and communication and government functions collapsed.And the overwhelming radiation dust caused an ominous layer of black waves to appear in the Seto Inland Sea...

Since the center of the nuclear explosion is a densely populated industrial and commercial center, and the scope of nuclear pollution covers less than half of Japan, Hiroshima hydrogen caused nearly one million casualties in the first place, and the final death toll is likely to increase To 300 million or even 500 million!

Facing such a heinous catastrophe that happened on their own land.The arrogant Japanese imperial government finally didn't dare to continue to put on airs, but still couldn't save face to negotiate a peace with a group of "rebel bandits", so it hinted that the Kwantung Army Headquarters would continue to come forward.To test the terms of the peace talks of the "Communist Army of China"—specifically, it was very irresponsible to say the classic Japanese metaphor to the Kwantung Army: "I don't know what you have done."

Therefore, General Nanjiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army, cursed the military and the government as cheating.Worried that I will become a scapegoat in the future.But the other side still had no choice but to bite the bullet and find ways to arrange negotiations with the "China Communist Army".

On July 7, Yoshiko Kawashima, who was the secret special envoy of the Japanese army, came to Shanghai again with a strange expression on her face, and met with Vice Chairman Jin Qina. [

Not to mention what kind of mood these two Gege from Aixinjueluo's family had in the secret room, and what they talked about in detail... In short, it was 08:30 that night.An urgent telegram recording the negotiating demands of the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants was finally sent to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Changchun.

On this day, he has been guarding outside the door of the telegraph room from morning till night.Kawabe Torashiro, the chief of staff of intelligence, who had already been impatient, immediately grabbed the telegram and rushed to the commander's office.When he rushed into the floor where Admiral Nanjiro's office was located, everyone's eyes immediately focused on the telegram in his hand.General Nanjiro, who had also been anxious all day, grabbed the telegram and rushed into the office. It was able to shatter the glass of every door of the headquarters, and the generals of the Kwantung Army who had read the content of this article were all immediately filled with righteous indignation and almost overturned the table.

——The terms of the truce and peace talks with Japan proposed by the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army mainly include the following points:

1. Abolish all Japan's unequal treaties with China, return all Japan's leased land, and cancel all Japan's privileges in China;

2. To abolish the puppet Manchukuo and North China puppet governments, the Japanese army should hand over to the Shanghai Red Army the traitors who served in these puppet governments;

3. Return to China all the land looted since the Sino-Japanese War, including Manchuria, Mongolia, North China, Liaodong Peninsula and Taiwan;

4. Allow Korea and Ryukyu to restore their independence, but the Pacific islands that Japan seized from Germany before can continue to be retained;

5. Pay 50 tons of gold, or equivalent emeralds, gemstones, and silver, plus [-] tons of merchant ships, to the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants as war reparations;

6. When the Japanese Empire withdraws its troops, it shall not destroy the industrial facilities and water conservancy projects in Manchukuo, Korea, Ryukyu, Taiwan and other places.

……

The above-mentioned conditions are the basic requirements formed after repeated consultations between the travelers and the Party Central Committee in Guiyang.

In the eyes of the traversers, for the sake of the revival and rise of China, it is a matter of course to raise these conditions to the Japanese, and they can even be called very lenient—it is just the most conventional land cession compensation, and neither requires the Japanese army to disarm Surrendered, but allowed them to return home on their own, and did not ask for the trial of war criminals, let alone station troops on Japan's four mainland islands.After the defeat, Japan is still an independent and normal country. If it must expand its territory, it will also retain the aggressive direction of the Pacific islands for the Japanese...

But for the Japanese militarists who engraved the idea of ​​​​aggression into their bones, such a clause would simply ruin all their dreams since the Meiji Restoration!Not to mention, this also means that the "civilized and noble" Japanese will bow their knees to the "inferior peoples of China"!

The most important thing is that even though Tokyo and Osaka have been reduced to scorched earth, and the combined fleet has become scrap iron, the Japanese army still does not admit that it is a loser!

So, after a lot of flirting and verbal criticism.The "radicals" and "moderates" in Japan finally reached an agreement. On the one hand, they claimed to ignore these "crazy" clauses, and on the other hand, they expressed that they could make the following "biggest concessions" to the "China Communist Army":[

1. The Japanese army can withdraw from North China, Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan and other places.Retreat into the territory of the Puppet Manchukuo north of the Great Wall, basically restoring the confrontation between China and Japan to the state before January 1935, but the North China garrison stationed in Tianjin according to the "Xin Chou Treaty" was not included in the retreat .

2. The Japanese concessions in Shanghai and Hangzhou can be abandoned, but the "China Communist Army" must pay Japan US$100 billion in war compensation.

3. The "Communist Army of China" must disclose the manufacturing process of atomic weapons to the world, and promise to never use them again.

4. The "China Communist Army" must follow international practice and recognize all previous Sino-Japanese diplomatic agreements, including the boxer indemnity.

……

at the same time.Japanese newspapers also used "Red Gangsters' Blackmail" as a headline to denounce the "evil attempt" of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.It's just sympathy and praise.

After hearing the news in astonishment, Wang Qiu and other traversers had no choice but to sigh, "This core can't stop", as they replied to the madman's ramblings of the Japanese Empire, while walking about 50 kilometers away from Kyoto.Maizuru tutelary fort bordering the Sea of ​​Japan.Launched the fifth nuclear bomb this year-through a nuclear explosion equivalent to [-] tons of TNT explosives, it completely razed the last major base of the Imperial Japanese Navy on the mainland!

Therefore, Mr. Sorge, the Soviet spy who moved to Kyoto with the German embassy, ​​"appreciated" the mushroom cloud for the second time on the afternoon of July 7 after the Osaka nuclear explosion in the southwest of Kyoto half a month ago. Rising from the Northwest sky...

So far, facing the devastating catastrophe resisted by the Human Law, Japan has fallen into a huge panic.

despite this.The Japanese Empire, which has been completely insane, still has not surrendered, but is intensively planning a Jedi counterattack...

Seven point four degrees north latitude.Western Pacific, Caroline Islands, Truk Atoll

——The beautiful and tranquil lagoon, like a pool of purest emeralds, is surrounded by a string of coral reef islands.

Truk Island is a volcanic island surrounded by coral reefs. It is located in the center of the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean. .In the center of the lagoon, there are twelve volcanic islands. Although the height is only 64 meters to 300 meters, they are steep and tall.It makes people feel very imposing, so it is also called "Mountain in the Cloud".

All in all, for navigators, this is an extremely ideal natural berth. It can accommodate many large ships to berth, and there are six channels for ships to enter and exit.No matter how big the wind and waves are outside, the lagoon of the "Mountain in the Clouds" is still calm.Even better, due to its special geographical environment, foreign invading enemies cannot attack Truk with naval artillery.Because each of the main islands of the atoll is located in the reef, it is a mountain system sunken in the coral circle, and it can only be attacked from the air-it can be said to be a natural naval fortress!

In addition, Truk Island is also the core of the Caroline Islands, located in the west of the Pacific Ocean, and its strategic position is very important-as long as Truk can be defended with a fleet, the East can suppress Gilbert and the Marshall Islands, and the South can threaten New Guinea and the Solomon Islands can protect the line from Palau to the Philippine Islands in the west, and can become a barrier for the Ogasawara Islands, Mariana Islands and even the Japanese Islands in the north.

As a subsidiary island of the Philippine archipelago, the Caroline Islands were originally part of the Spanish Philippine colony.However, because Spain lost the Philippines in the Spanish-American War, its national power was greatly weakened, and it could no longer rule several remote islands hanging thousands of miles away, so it had to sell these islands to the Germans in the early 20th century.After the outbreak of World War I, Truk Atoll ushered in a new owner: the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Since then, Truk Atoll has become the main anchorage for the Japanese Imperial Navy to go out to the South Pacific. The Japanese combined fleet spared no expense in carrying out large-scale port construction on Truk, making it completely fortified.And boasted it as "Gibraltar of the Pacific".

At this desperate moment when all the four major naval guardhouses in the mainland were destroyed by nuclear explosions, and the British-style red-brick "red tile" building of the Tokyo Naval Ministry was also covered by radiation dust, Truk Atoll, which is located in the tropical equatorial waters, is isolated. fleet.It became the last hope for the survival of the Japanese navy.

——Battleship Yamashiro, Aircraft Carrier Hosho, Heavy Cruiser Myoko, Light Cruiser Yubari, Twelve Destroyers, One Seaplane Carrier, and Auxiliary Transport Vessels.The total tonnage is less than 20 tons, and most of the warships are old ships... However, apart from a small number of light ships scattered in Hokkaido, Lushun, North Korea, Taiwan and other places, the Imperial Japanese Navy is almost left with this little wealth !

Recalling just three months ago, the masts and flags of the Japanese United Fleet were full of masts, and the grand occasion was really embarrassing.

On this breezy tropical summer night, the Southern Cross star was bright in the sky.

On a waterfront plaza surrounded by coconut trees in the Truk Naval Base.The officers and soldiers of the Japanese Navy's Truk Squadron were participating in a grand open-air banquet-it was a buffet-style banquet, with a band playing brisk jazz and ostentatious prostitutes flirting and showing off.The banquet is full of fresh lobster and tuna, as well as sweet and delicious tropical fruits, fragrant Western-style steak and pork chops, as well as a variety of exquisite Japanese and Western pastries, and limited supply of sugarcane wine, whiskey, beer and Japanese Style sake... even for the most serious and rigid people.At this time, they also unbuttoned their collars.Let loose, drink and sing, have fun...

Because this is the last farewell wine before the whole fleet's attack—among the laughter and laughter, there is a lot of sadness hidden.

Regardless of the success or failure of this battle, the last mobile fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy will never return to the Truk anchorage again.

"...Come on, officers and soldiers of the Imperial Navy, cheers! I would like to congratulate everyone in advance. Next time, we will celebrate by the Huangpu River!"

Lieutenant Commander Tsuji Masanobu, who was sent by the army to communicate, raised his glass and looked around at the naval officers and soldiers.Laughed and drank it down. "...Boldly attacking with your orders, Dayi Lin fought bloody battles in Shanghai. If you fail in this battle, you will be benevolent! Everyone! Let us meet again under the cherry blossom tree of the Yasukuni Shrine!"

After a brief silence, there was a round of applause from all around... In Tsuji Masanobu's contagious madman speech, the long-standing gap between the navy and the army seemed to have been eliminated a lot.

——Also, when half of Japan has been reduced to the scorched earth of purgatory, what can this little battle between the navy and the army be?

The supreme commander of the Truk Squadron, Rear Admiral Nagumo Chuichi, who had just been promoted by the front line, also raised his glass to greet everyone: "...this battle is an important moment that determines the survival of the empire. Go all the way and make no mistakes! The officers and men of the navy must display their attacking spirit of sacrificing their lives for benevolence. As the last fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, they must not disappoint the expectations of all citizens!"

——According to the latest order of the Ministry of the Navy, Rear Admiral Nagumo Chuichi will soon lead all the ocean-going ships stationed in Truk Atoll to anchor and head north to Keelung, Taiwan, where they will meet with the few remaining destroyers and light cruisers in China, and then carry the ships that can be transported at present. All the army troops collected went straight to Shanghai... No matter how much sacrifice and price you pay, you must destroy the evil lair that is constantly launching nuclear weapons to the mainland of the imperial kingdom!

——Fortunately among misfortunes, even under the current situation, the Japanese Empire still holds the command of the sea off the coast of China.

Although this battle can almost be called a hasty battle and is full of dangers, Major General Nagumo Tadaichi also understands the difficulties in the country.He knew what appalling terms of peace talks those Chinese communist forces had offered to the empire, and he also knew what fate Japan would face if this battle failed.I also know that everything that the Imperial Japanese Navy painstakingly built, from the Etajima Naval Academy to the four major tutelary forts, and the red brick naval building in Tokyo, have all been destroyed... If this is the case, why not bet on the last maneuver Fleet, how about another gamble?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing, and gently hummed a song that every Japanese naval officer is familiar with:

"...we are the cherry blossoms of the same period, blooming in the Naval Academy.

No matter how brilliant the cherry blossoms are, they will wither soon..."

The next day, the bright morning sun rose among the mountains of Truk Island, dyeing the deck of the battleship with a layer of golden light.The sailors of each ship began to work in an orderly manner, locking the watertight compartments and fireproof partitions, and everything that was worthwhile was dismantled and sent to the shore in a hurry.

Then, the crew returned to their respective cabins to tidy up the housekeeping.The sailors put on new clothes, shaved their heads, cut their nails, wrapped their hair and nails in a suicide note, and clipped a page of uniform letterhead printed by the Navy.The letter said: "...I want to go home and see my elders when I am alive. Now that the elders see my hair and fingernails, they should see me in person." Some people even put some money in the suicide note.

And those officers and soldiers whose family members died in the nuclear explosion, in accordance with the tradition of samurai loving prostitutes, gave all their savings to geisha, beautiful waitresses or proprietresses in various bars on the shore, "...Anyway, the yen is probably very fast. It’s about to become waste paper, take it and spend it as soon as possible!”

When everything was ready, Major General Nagumo Chuichi finally wore the most gorgeous military uniform and boarded the bridge of the flagship "Yamashiro".He took one last look at the scenery of the "mountain in the clouds" Truk with nostalgia, and then issued an order: "... Target, Shanghai! Attack!" (to be continued...)
