Age of Rebirth

Regarding the Japanese Emperor Hirohito's declaration of surrender to the Chinese government, Hitler, the German head of state, was in a dilemma. As the world's largest power, Germany, which is not one of the most powerful countries, if he did not speak out on this matter, it would be absolutely unjustifiable, and it would damage Germany's national prestige. and reputation.

But if you speak up, speak from that angle, and congratulate Tang Qiuli on finally destroying Japan. Japan and Germany are allies. Wouldn't it be a big joke for the Chinese government to lose its ally, and it wouldn't be a slap in the face!

Pretend not to know, as I have said before, this matter cannot be passed by pretending to be confused. Germany wants face, and Hitler wants face even more. Is it even more inappropriate to condemn Tang Qiuli for destroying Japan? He is so powerful that he has become a veritable overlord in Asia and the Pacific region. It would be unwise to offend Japan for the sake of a country that has already been destroyed. Besides, Your Excellency the Head of State has his own plans, so no matter how you look at it, it is a loss-making business.

What's more, when Japan was on the verge of extinction, Germany did not provide any assistance. When the Japanese were subjugated, the emperor admitted that he had surrendered unconditionally, and then issued a statement condemning Tang Qiuli. Even Hitler felt embarrassed. Acts like a clown in a circus.

Hitler was in a dilemma. The Japanese did not do their own business, but they left a problem. After thinking about it, he could only take a compromise method and said to Foreign Minister Ribbentrop: "Ribbentrop Fu, in the name of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you have shown the attitude of the German government to the world. The basic content, I hope the Chinese government and the Chinese army. When dealing with post-war Japanese issues, abide by international conventions. Ensure the lives and properties of the people in the occupied areas Safety!"

After Hitler finished speaking, the German party, government, and military officials couldn't help laughing secretly, "Is this the attitude of the German government? It seems very powerless. It is rare to see Your Excellency the Fuhrer, who is so embarrassing to speak out about international affairs. when!"

How could Hitler not know that the attitude of the so-called German government was to his rebellious old Chinese friend.He felt a little annoyed, his expression changed, and he said: "The Chinese army has already occupied Japan. Do your calculations, it only took a few months, but our German army has already occupied Japan." , so far on the battlefield in North America. With the stalemate with the US and Canadian troops, you should all reflect...."

In the West Indian continent, under the extremely hot weather, there is a steamer-like heat everywhere.Several high-power electric fans can't blow away the high temperature in the room even when they are turned on at full power.The fat body of British Prime Minister Churchill was soaked in the heat and humidity.In the breathless temperature.

This made Churchill, who was accustomed to the climate of the British Isles, very uncomfortable.His mood and emotions are also like the weather. He has just listened to the imperial edict of Japanese Emperor Hirohito's unconditional surrender to the Chinese government.

For Churchill, the unconditional surrender of the Japanese did not stir up any waves in his heart. The most distressing thing for your Excellency right now is the problem of food for nearly tens of millions of aborigines in the West Indies, the problem of national economy and people's livelihood, and following the royal family and government. The livelihood of the hundreds of thousands of Britons who went to the West Indies.

The West India region is not a land of geomantic omens. The blank industrial infrastructure, the ignorance and laziness of the indigenous people, the extreme lack of food, and a mess of real problems make Churchill, the prime minister of the government-in-exile, in a state of desperation every day. state.

The British royal family and government have lived in the West Indies, a colony of the British Empire. It has been more than two years. In the past two years, Churchill has resorted to all kinds of tricks, and can only maintain the status quo. As for the restoration of the country, it is hopeless. I am old. , The once glorious British Empire is also old, too old to be in the arena.

The reality and the situation have wiped out Churchill's enthusiasm and vigor, and he has to be on guard against it. The neighbor in the east, whose wings are growing and his fangs are growing, does not know when the Chinese who beat Japan to ashes will turn his eyes away. To the West Indian continent, once this happens, it will be a disaster.

Churchill had no doubt that as long as Tang Qiuli moved his fingers, he could grind the British royal family and the government-in-exile, as well as the West Indies, into powder. With a helpless sigh, he shouted: "Secretary!"

The secretary came in, and Churchill said: "In the name of the British government, issue a statement congratulating the Chinese government and the Chinese army for occupying the entire territory of Japan and forcing the Japanese government to surrender unconditionally!"

Bow your head to the Chinese who you hate to the bottom of your heart. This British government statement is an attitude and a flattery. It strives for the survival of the British royal family and British people living in the West Indies. Churchill's eyes are full of Gloomy and powerless.

Next to Asna Tower in West Siberia, one of the more important cities in northern Central Asia, and now the capital of the Soviet Union, Stalin, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers, was lying on a hospital bed, listening to the Japanese Emperor Hirohito, who read out the edict of unconditional surrender to the Chinese government.

The once huge ruler of the Red Empire fell ill. Since the beginning of last year, Stalin's physical condition has begun to deteriorate. His illness has a direct relationship with his mood. The current Soviet Union has long since lost its original ambition. Yong, huddled in the frigid West Siberia and Central Asia where there are deserts and Gobi deserts, with only tens of thousands of soldiers and a population of only one million, he is nothing more than lingering on his last breath.

Stalin’s understanding is more vivid. When he was in good health, he said to the few remaining members of the Political Bureau of the CPSU Central Committee: “In the current Soviet Union, there is Nazi Germany in the west and Tang Qiuli in the east. To survive in the gap between the two great powers, like animals kept in captivity by Tang Qiuli, may be slaughtered at any time, so we can only be patient and give up all dignity!"

Patience and humiliation, as well as resignation, eroded Stalin's body like an incurable germ. The glory and strength of the Red Empire in the past made him always in nostalgia and memories, the cruelty of reality and the glory in memory , Tormenting his spirit and will all the time.

This great man of the Soviet Union finally fell ill and was lying on the hospital bed. Even Japan's unconditional surrender to the Chinese, such a major event affecting the world, could only be listened to while lying on the hospital bed. On the radio, Emperor Hirohito of Japan read out the imperial edict The movement with the dead father, mother and father had stopped, he coughed violently, and it took a long time before he recovered.

Opening his cloudy eyes, Stalin stared straight at the roof, and murmured in an almost sleepy tone: "Let him succeed, that damned Chinese Tang Qiuli helped Hitler destroy the Soviet Union, and now he is I am not reconciled to the destruction of Japan..."

In the southwest of China, Chongqing, the wartime capital of the Nationalist Government, the mansion of the Chairman of the Military Commission, gathered many bigwigs from the Nationalist Government’s party, government, and army. In addition to some Tang Qiuli’s familiar faces, there were also some new faces, all of whom were nearly ten years old. In the past few years, Chairman Jiang has cultivated a rising star in the party, government and army after recuperating in the Southwest.

Without exception, these rising stars of the central military system all have a complacent and arrogant attitude. They and the older generation of civil servants who have seen Tang Qiuli's brutal methods and personally experienced his ability and strength Military generals are different, they will not have any awe of the Vice Chairman Tang who is far away overseas. If they have not received the order from the chairman's attendant to come here to listen to Japan's unconditional surrender edict, they will not be in the mood to talk to these people. Dealing with old people.

In the past few years, Generalissimo Jiang has also grown old, thinner and thinner, but more stern and majestic. With a glass of water on the table, he closed his eyes and listened to the radio, and the Japanese Emperor Hirohito was crying The movement, the surface is as calm as water, but the heart is full of turbulent waves.

Since a few years ago, Generalissimo Jiang had no idea of ​​suppressing Tang Qiuli. The young man who came out of the Baishan Heishui in the Northeast was full-fledged. Far surpassing himself, he couldn't suppress it at all, so he simply cut off this thought, and saved himself from asking for trouble.

Fortunately, after knowing that he could not suppress Tang Qiuli, Generalissimo Jiang adopted a strategy of flattering Tang Qiuli, giving him the greatest power, allowing that ambitious young man, with his arrogant soldiers, to fight outside the borders of the Republic of China. The conquest cut off the desire to compete with oneself in the country.

Chairman Jiang is very grateful to Zhang Qun, his chief think tank. It was not for him to come up with such a clever plan. The current Republic of China is a situation where two heroes are fighting for hegemony. Ask yourself, whether it is military or political, Chairman Jiang cannot compete with Tang Qiuli.

The better Tang Qiuli leads his troops in fighting overseas, the more brilliant the results, and the more land he has in his pocket, the more comfortable Chairman Jiang feels and the more he falls. Generalissimo Jiang seems to be used to it, and he is no longer very interested. When he hears some news occasionally, he feels that he is too far away from him and has little to do with it. It will not affect his military and political power in the country.

However, Japan unconditionally surrendered to the Chinese government. Chairman Jiang must pay close attention to this matter, because it represents the occurrence of a major event that changed the world pattern. Chairman Jiang needs to know that Tang Qiuli occupied the entire territory of Japan and put After Japan's destruction of the country, what is the next step?

Chairman Jiang also needs to know what kind of thoughts his subordinates have on this major incident. Besides, he just wants to hear the suggestions of his subordinates. What attitude should the Nationalist government take towards this?In his heart, the last thing he wanted to see, and the most worrying thing, was that Tang Qiuli was under too much pressure when he returned to the country with Yu Wei after pacifying Japan!
