One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-Four Negotiated

readx; What does it mean for Japan to withdraw from all the current occupied areas? The attachment also includes the Korean Peninsula and Northeast China—okay, the territories that our Great Japanese Empire has worked so hard to accumulate from all the wars from 1900 to today have been returned in a package? Then we have been tossing for almost 40 years, isn't it a waste of work?

Germany's draft contract is tantamount to dismantling Japan completely, and then bribing the entire Far Eastern countries to show generosity to others. As long as Japan recognizes it with its nose, it can really end the war immediately. `

"Do you think this is a sincere draft? This is not so much a draft as a declaration of insulting the Great Japanese Empire!" Yamashita slapped the few documents in front of him and shouted loudly: "You are very powerful in Europe, but this is Asia! No matter how powerful you are, can you extend your tentacles to the Far East, which has always been the backyard of our Great Japanese Empire?"

Although he knew that the German fighter planes had already achieved such a frightening record over the Far East, he still didn't quite believe that the Third Reich, which had gone through a long Soviet-German war, could send its own army without any scruples, just like that. Sent to the Far East for a protracted war with Japan.

He believed that the Japanese army's painstaking efforts in the Far East, especially in North Korea and Northeast China, and those defense lines all over the mountains and plains, could stop the German offensive and drag Germany into the quagmire of war—of course, he had another bargaining chip, that Even if Japan is really in a hurry, turning to the United States is also a choice that can ease the current situation.

"We know that this condition will make Mr. Yamashita very embarrassed, because this condition is indeed very unfavorable to Japan..." Merkel resisted the urge to laugh, and said to the angry Yamashita: "However, the third The highest ideal of the empire, or the Axis powers, is to be able to establish a Eurasian-African alliance. In order for this alliance to survive for a long time, all the problems in this draft must be resolved, and it is worth fighting for. "

...

In Washington, USA, President Roosevelt smiled and threw a stack of peace proposals submitted by the Japanese empire on his desk, then he raised his head, smiled and said to the person who sent the document: "Our proposition, is it not Also sent it to the Japanese?"

"Mr. President, with all due respect, the conditions we offered are too harsh." The American official in charge of foreign affairs whispered: "The Japanese Empire will not accept such conditions that are close to humiliation, they would rather Keep fighting... I personally don't understand why we want to fight for so many benefits for China and Southeast Asia, which seems to have nothing to do with our fundamental interests."

"..." Roosevelt seemed very tired. He closed his eyes, as if falling asleep, and stopped talking.

And the waiters beside him,

He opened his mouth to do the job of explaining: "Sir, with our current strength, it is difficult to open a breakthrough in the war against Germany in Western Europe. If we lose Southeast Asia and China, then the entire continent of Eurasia and Africa will really be run by the Germans." It's a monolith. We'll be isolated in the Americas, which is the worst-case scenario we're trying to avoid."

"However, Mr. President, if we win over Japan, then by virtue of Japan's influence in the Far East, we can also tear down Germany's barrier to isolate us!" The diplomat asked Roosevelt's waiter in front of him in puzzlement: "No Not to mention, it may be more cost-effective to win over Japan than what we are doing now."

"No, sir, if we defeat Japan, then East Asia and South Asia, including China, will be on our side, and become a barrier that we will never be breached!" The waiter obviously got these questions from Roosevelt. Answer, he let go of Roosevelt's wheelchair, walked gently to the front of the world map, and pointed to China: "This is the most effective and correct solution."

"Binding China, we can connect to Southeast Asia and India, and then we will once again extend our power to the Middle East. In this way, we will have the last hope for the future of the United States!" The waiter finally spoke instead Roosevelt concluded: "And if we accept the Japanese peace, then all that is gone."

"But! Mr. President! What if our opponent, the Germans, has really formed an alliance with Japan?" the diplomatic official asked suspiciously.

"That's really great. If the Germans lose their heads at this time, we will win this war!" Roosevelt suddenly opened his eyes, and said slowly: "The Germans won't do this, Their terms will be tougher than ours because they have better cards than us."

...

"Baga! Did the Americans and the Germans discuss it? Why are the conditions they offered so similar?" The two drafts were sent to the highest headquarters of the Japanese base camp almost at the same time, and even His Majesty the Emperor Attended the meeting in person. However, it was obvious that the content of this meeting did not make him very comfortable, and his face, which had never changed, was now a little distorted.

The condition offered by the Germans was to allow Japan to give up all the colonies it had occupied since it became strong—this almost made His Majesty the Emperor want to turn the table, because if he signs this peace treaty, it may become Japan’s The most failed emperor of all time. The conditions offered by the United States are similar, only allowing Japan to retain a part of the occupied area, and most of the area will be returned to China and Southeast Asian countries.

"This shows that the United States and Germany are more optimistic about China, which is still at a disadvantage, than us in this war." A general said dejectedly: "Are they blind? If we withdraw our troops now, China can be defeated in a few months!"

"Expand the troops immediately! As long as we invest another 1 million troops, we will be able to achieve a decisive victory in China! At that time, these stupid Germans and Americans will have to pay for their short-sightedness!" A Japanese The general of the army said bitterly: "We have not been defeated at all, how can we compromise on such a treaty?"

"1 million people? Do you know that in China, it is a bit tight to deploy 300,000 people... Even if we have 1 million people, how long will it take to train these people? Most of the troops on the Chinese battlefield are untrained Everyone can see how passively Tojo-kun commanded these soldiers." A general of the Japanese Navy leaned on his chair, staring at the army generals who were clamoring to fight to the end, and sarcastically .

Indeed, even if another 1 million troops could be recruited, where would the weapons come from to arm these 1 million troops? The production of fighter jets can no longer keep up with the losses, and the production of tanks is even more stretched, not to mention the navy's warships... Now in Japan, where does the resource come from to arm the entire 1 million regular army?

Rifle production is still barely enough, but only God knows what kind of effect it can play by pulling out an army of 1 million with only rifle grenades. In addition to increasing the loss of 1 million, such an army seems to be able to play a similar role to the 100,000 or even 80,000 at the beginning of the war.

"Your Majesty, then we can't accept a peace treaty of this level! Whoever signs this kind of peace treaty is a thief of the country!" Li Que was at a loss for words, and the rest was crying bitterly. A Japanese military officer looked a little The restless emperor howled in tears.

"Your navy still has the face to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty the Emperor? If you hadn't taken up too many resources and were finally defeated by the weak U.S. Navy, how could we have fallen to where we are today?" Sitting beside Hideki Tojo A general of the Army of the People's Liberation Army jumped up against the case, pointing at the general of the navy and yelling at him.

"Forget it! It's as if there is no problem with your Army... If you hadn't suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Imphal and dispatched fighter jets from the front line to wipe your ass in the rear, our navy would not have fought in Solomon The situation cannot be opened in a naval battle!" The bad debt between the army and the navy is enough to quarrel for three days and two nights, and often this kind of quarrel will not have a result at all, it can only be a waste of time.

The Emperor's expression was a bit bitter, and he looked palely at Hideki Tojo who had been silent beside him, and finally coughed, and after the scene quietened down, he asked in a long voice: "Apart from peace negotiations, If the base camp has any plan to resist foreign humiliation, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, in the current situation, on the one hand, we should recruit enough soldiers immediately so that General Ishihara Wanji and other commanders from all walks of life can quickly prepare for the line of defense... Your servant thinks that even if they are attacked by Germany and the United States, they will not be able to survive on June 6." On the ground and at sea, the imperial army of the Japanese Empire is not enough to attack, and there is still more than enough to defend most of the areas." Hideki Tojo heard the emperor asking himself, and quickly answered.

He paused, then continued: "As long as we defeat the enemy's decisive battle in our defense, everyone will be able to rationally consider the losses caused by the war. At that time, if we wait for the price, we should be able to End the war with dignity." After saying this, he lowered his head.

You must know that more than 2 years ago, he brought a large number of Japanese military officers and vowed to guarantee that Japan could win this war. But in the short span of two years, his guarantee to win the war has become the pale and powerless phrase "end the war with dignity".
