This is a typical Japanese-style room, with a long low table surrounded by more than a dozen cushions. There are several cups of tea on the low table. Four thin-looking old people are kneeling around the low table.
People who know them would never recognize that these people are the most powerful people in Japan now.
These people are Japanese Prime Minister Konoe, Foreign Minister Hirota Koki, Land Minister Gen Sugiyama, and Maritime Prime Minister Yoneuchi Mitsumasa. They are holding a four-phase meeting to discuss a series of issues after the occupation of Nanjing.
Prime Minister Konoe, who had been suffering from stomach problems in the past few days, had stomach problems again. He held his stomach and frowned and said enlightenedly: "The government announced the establishment of a new order in East Asia on July 27. We
Now that the army has occupied Nanjing, the Nanjing government headed by Chiang Kai-shek has become a puppet regime, and we must also start to support a pro-Japanese government."
"No, the time is not yet!" Minai Guangzhenghai shook his head and said: "Although Nanjing is already in our hands, the Chiang government has not given up resistance. Chiang has moved his government to Wuhan and Chongqing, not to mention them
The main force of the army still exists, and we cannot be too blindly optimistic too early."
Foreign Minister Hirota Koki added: "Now that Nanjing has succeeded, we should seize the opportunity to launch a diplomatic offensive."
"How did the West react to this?" Konoe asked Hirota.
"Humph, what else can we do? Just repeat the same old tune about our expansion." Hirota replied.
"Ignore them, as long as we cause the facts, they can't do anything about it." Prime Minister Sugiyama Gen. Gen. Gen. Sugiyama has always been dismissive of the West's reaction.
"But some countries have to listen." Hirota explained: "For example, the United States and France."
Sugiyama Yuan raised his nostrils and hummed: "What did they say?"
"The French ambassador said that Japanese people should look up and around when walking."
"I'm afraid it's because we took away their territory, right?" Sugiyama Gen said sarcastically.
"I think so too." Hirota said cautiously: "But considering the past relations between the two countries, we have to pay attention."
"Asian affairs can only be decided by Japan!" Sugiyama Gen said fiercely.
"But Americans don't think that way." Hirota shook his head.
Hirota frowned and explained: "Roosevelt now compares us Japanese with fascists. He said, 'When an infectious disease begins to spread, in order to protect the health of all members of society, everyone agrees that we should also
The sick were isolated,' he explained, and war was a contagious disease, apparently referring to Japan."
"Sooner or later, the United States will be Japan's enemy." Sugiyama Genme slashed his handle in the void with a fierce look: "The most important thing now is to solve the China problem. As long as China is included in the embrace of the empire, Americans will have nothing to fear!"
At this time, Minai spoke slowly, "Gentlemen, I heard that a strange thing happened in Nanjing the day before yesterday. The remnants of Tang Shengzhi and many civilians who were originally surrounded escaped from Nanjing, which led to an incident.
It was because of a Chinese major named Suri who resisted the attack of the imperial army outside Yijiang Gate. The imperial army had tens of thousands of troops, but it could not do anything to a small major, and even let him escape.
Sugiyama-kun, aren’t you going to explain it?”
"Baga, I knew this Minai would make a fuss about this matter!" Sugiyama Yuan felt agitated and shouted in a low voice: "He's just a Chinese major, what's the big deal."
"Really?" Minai sneered: "I heard that it was this little major who used special bombs to wipe out the entire Yamada detachment. The entire 5,000-man imperial army was just wiped out. What does this mean?
?It’s simply an insult to our imperial army!”
"Bagaya Road!" Sugiyama Yuan gritted his teeth as soon as he mentioned this, "We must teach the Chinese people how to respect the Japanese!"
"I wonder what Sugiyama-kun plans to use to teach the Chinese people a lesson? Are you going to use your special bullets again?" Minai said mockingly.
Unlike the Army, which regards poison gas bombs as a magic weapon for victory, the Japanese Navy still despises this. After all, I have never heard of any country's navy using poison gas bombs to fight at sea. At this time, the Navy is also more particular about scrutiny.
The military service with grace.
"Okay!" Seeing that the land and sea were about to argue again, the guard had a headache and said loudly: "There is no need to argue about this matter anymore. I heard that the Ministry of War has ordered the Chinese government to call out that Suri.
, and even offered a reward of one million yuan for his head, isn’t it?”
Staring at Minai fiercely, Sugiyama Yuan said unwillingly: "Yes, this Suri used such despicable means to deal with the Japanese Imperial Army. This is never allowed. We must take revenge!"
"How can you retaliate and use your special bullets again?" After hearing Sugiyama Gen's words, Minai couldn't help but laugh again.
"You..." Sugiyama Yuan became angry, suddenly stood up and stared at Minai fiercely: "Do you want to duel with me?"
"You think I'm afraid of you!" Minai also stood up angrily. I just told the truth and you will fight me. Do you think I don't dare?
Seeing the angry expressions of the two old men who were over a hundred years old together, Prime Minister Konoe and Foreign Minister Hirota couldn't help but put their hands on their foreheads and suffered from headaches. They even dared to bet that if these two people were locked up in the same small dark room,
If you stay there for half a day, there will definitely be only one person who can come out alive.
"That's enough! What do you want to do, a duel? You have to remember that you are not brainless low-level officers, but important ministers of the empire. You are the land and sea ministers, and you are responsible to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Konoe slapped the short boy hard and made a loud noise, which silenced the two hot-tempered old men.
Seeing Sugiyama Gen and Yonei sit down again, Konoe said: "After the imperial military doctors performed anatomy on the fallen warriors, it was discovered that the Chinese used a new type of poison gas bomb, which can quickly destroy the paralyzed respiratory function of the human body, causing
Miosis, gastrointestinal cramps and severe pain, the ducts that secrete tears, sweat and saliva will also be discharged in large quantities, which will lead to a very painful death, and it will occur immediately and the death dose will take about 2 minutes. Compared with the existing gas bombs in the Empire,
It’s not on the same level at all, and the most powerful thing is that it can also be transmitted through the skin, do you know what this means?”
Hearing this, Sugiyama Gen and Yonei both frowned. Due to their military intuition, they all felt a strong threat.
Infected through the skin, this means that Japan's existing gas masks are completely ineffective against this poisonous gas. If the Chinese army uses a large amount of this poisonous gas on the battlefield...
When he thought of this, a picture seemed to appear in front of Sugiyama Yuan's eyes. The Chinese army was spraying a large amount of this poisonous gas on the battlefield, and a thick yellow fog filled the entire battlefield. Although the warriors of the Imperial Army charging with rifles were all
Wearing gas masks, they still fell one by one. Those loyal and brave imperial warriors fell under the poisonous gas before they could even fire a single bullet. Thinking of this, Sugiyama Yuan's whole body shuddered.
"No, we must not let this happen!"
Sugiyama Gen shouted loudly: "Konoe-dono, haven't the poison gas experts in the empire come up with any good way to resist this poisonous gas?"
Konoe said in a deep voice: "The only way is to put all the soldiers in full-body sealed gas masks so that they can protect themselves against this poisonous gas! But the cost is too high, and the empire has no way at the moment.
Produce so many gas masks.!”
"Bageya Road, the despicable Chinese people actually used such despicable poison gas!"
Sugiyama Gen shouted angrily. At this time, he had automatically filtered out the previous incident of the Japanese army's massive use of poison gas bombs on the Chinese battlefield.
There is such a kind of person in this world. They can do any bad thing unscrupulously, but when the other person starts to do the same thing, they can't stand it. For this kind of thing, the Chinese people used to use it thousands of years ago.
One sentence gives a vivid metaphor, "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps."
Ignoring Sugiyama Gen's anger, Konoe, as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, was thinking more about how the government should face this sudden poisonous gas, especially when this poisonous gas would pose a major threat to the Imperial Army.
After thinking for a long time, Konoe said to the Foreign Minister Hirota: "Mr. Hirota, this matter is going to trouble you. You must issue a diplomatic letter to the Chinese government during this period, strictly prohibiting the use of special bombs by both sides."
A moral weapon, which is also not allowed by international conventions."
When Konoe said this, he was filled with an air of righteousness and indignation, as if he were the embodiment of justice.
Guangtian nodded and said: "Okay, I will immediately send an official letter to the Chiang regime in China in the name of the government, ordering them to ban the use of such immoral weapons."
Konoe turned to Sugiyama Gen and said: "Also, your Army also needs to issue an order to make the troops restrain themselves during this period. Special bombs are no longer allowed to be used in the near future. You also need to tell King Asaka Palace Hatohiko to give the order.
The troops in Nanjing must exercise restraint and stop massacring civilians and prisoners of war, and must not allow the Chinese to find an excuse to release that poisonous gas again."
"Okay!" Sugiyama Gen nodded reluctantly. The initiator who had shouted at the cabinet meeting to decide whether to attack Beiping and Tianjin that China would be destroyed in three months has now begun to feel a slight regret. Three months.
Isn't it too bold? According to the Army's current progress, the deadline should be at least five months.
History took another turn here. After receiving the telegram from the base camp, King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace once again issued an order strictly prohibiting the Japanese army from massacring civilians and prisoners of war in Nanjing.
The original officers headed by Hisao Tani still acted in secret, and private massacres of civilians and prisoners of war still occurred from time to time, but it was much better than the organized large-scale massacres in another time and space. Many soldiers and civilians in Nanjing City
I was lucky enough to save my life because of the poisonous gas Suri cast. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
