The front pages of newspapers in the whole world were occupied by news from Yidong. Even the hard battle between the US and British armies in Normandy was forgotten, and the Soviet attacks in the Far East were even forgotten.

〖Japan government has strictly blocked any reports on the rushing troops at home, but news about this is secretly circulating in the press, but no one dares to write a word in the newspaper. But in the face of such a raging world public opinion, Suzuki Kantaro had to respond. He ordered the ambassador to Switzerland to issue a statement, claiming that Unit 731 is an epidemic prevention and water supply force, Masaji Kitano is a doctor of medicine, Unit 73 was attacked by the 〖China team on his way back to China, General Masaji Kitano was captured, and his speech at the press conference was obviously threatened by the Chinese people, which was unreliable. The Japanese Empire would never do such a tragic thing.[]

On the top of a beautiful mountain in the Alps, a Westerner in hunting suit and a short oriental man in a sweatshirt were standing side by side by bushes. The two of them looked at the beautiful scenery at the foot of the mountain. Not far behind them were four dressed in different manners and were watching each other vigilantly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Little Nose, I received an order from Washington, and Washington ordered me to terminate the negotiations." The words of the Westerner in the hunting suit surprised Xiaodao very much.

"Why? Mr. Dulles, I think our negotiations are going well. Today I brought new orders from Tokyo, which helped us very much. Kojima looked very serious. He spread his hands and made a very Westernized move.

"I think you should know that the 731 Force incident caused a great response in the United States. Washington believes that in this case, it is inappropriate to conduct such negotiations with your country. We must wait until the storm has passed before discussing this matter." Dulles' tone was also a bit regretful, but as a US government worker, he must implement the government's instructions.

After obtaining the consent of Kantaro Suzuki, Togo Moto immediately launched an action. He chose two neutral countries, Switzerland and Turkey, to carry out the peace talks. Swiss ambassador Hashimoto once studied in France and was a European connection. After receiving the order from Tokyo, Hashimoto took action. He handed the task to a secret island of the embassy. 1 island used to study in Switzerland and had a wide connection in Switzerland.

Kojima did not disappoint his trust, and soon successfully contacted a Swedish businessman through a Swiss banker, and contacted Dulles, the US War Situation Bureau's Swiss stationmaster. The two sides began to have a secret contact. Dulles suggested during the meeting that "Japan" should surrender immediately to avoid the complete destruction of "Japan" and avoid the rise of GCism in "Japan" after the war.

The entire operation was carried out under the guidance of Foreign Minister Togo Shimoto. After receiving Hashimoto's report, Togo immediately decided to negotiate with Dulles by retaining the emperor system, not paying compensation, not garrisoning troops and trialing war criminals by himself. This broke through the bottom line given by the cabinet from the very beginning.

This condition made Dulles very interested. After Washington received Dulles' report, he immediately evaluated the whole matter. Dulles's boss, Director of Strategic Intelligence, believes that he can contact the Japanese and test his attitude, especially pay attention to the peace within the Japanese political circles and evaluate the size of this force.

When Dulles received the order from Washington, he began to meet with Kojima from time to time. The different understandings of the meeting between the two sides will inevitably lead to different attitudes in the conversation after the meeting.

After several meetings, Dulles keenly felt that the island was negotiating with Tokyo's conditions, and the conditions given by Japan could be negotiated. He immediately reported the discovery to Washington. After obtaining the consent of the White House, Donovan decided to let Dulles start secret negotiations with Kolles to test whether Japan could surrender.

However, since Washington did not give the negotiation conditions, Dulles did not propose the conditions during the negotiations. 1 Kojima could only propose the conditions in Tokyo as the basis. This action made Dulles conclude that "Japan" himself really wanted to seek peace.

But at this moment, the Battle of Mariana ended, the joint fleet was defeated, the US army conquered Saipan, and then launched an attack on Guam. This victory gave Washington confidence and put the conditions of the island aside. Dulles told the island after the last meeting that if Japan wanted to achieve peace, there was only one condition and unconditional surrender.

Hashimoto reported to the country helplessly. What surprised him was that he received the Tokyo order that day.

Togo Moto lowered his conditions again in the telegram: to retain the Emperor's system. As long as this is met, Japan will immediately sign a peace agreement. Hashimoto's mood was extremely heavy after receiving the telegram. Tokyo's orders came so quickly and concessions were very rare. Tokyo's performance was so urgent that it further confirmed the rumors that the situation in the country was not good.

Due to inconvenient transportation, diplomats in Europe rarely get domestic news directly, but this does not mean that they do not know the progress of the war. On the contrary, they are very clear. The situation of the Axis powers is very unfavorable. Italy has withdrawn from the war. Mussolini, with the support of Germany, barely organized a puppet government in northern Italy. The Allies landed in Normandy and formed two sides of the attack on Germany. The Third Reich was swaying in the wind and rain.

Among European diplomats, even the most determined ambassador to Germany, Oshima, believes that a peace agreement should be reached with the allies as soon as possible, so as not to have no choice after Germany's defeat.

The verdict with Dulles was held secretly. Sometimes we met twice a week, and sometimes we could only meet once a week. The location of each meeting was different. We were notified by the intermediary. It was obvious that the Americans took the initiative in the negotiations, and Kojima was anxiously waiting for news from Dulles every time.

Today is the contact day that the two have set. 1 Kojima brought new conditions from Tokyo and came to the Alps in a heavy mood to see Dulles, but unexpectedly he was hit by Dulles. Dulles did not allow him to speak and told him that Washington gave him instructions that it is not appropriate to start peace negotiations with Japan and the negotiations will be terminated immediately.

Dulles knew very well that this was a side effect of the Unit 731 incident. The Unit 731 incident caused national anger in the United States. All parts of the United States were mourning the 160 Americans who died in Unit 1. The U.S. Congress passed a resolution requiring the president to take stricter measures against Japan and hold all those responsible for the deaths of these Americans severely held criminally responsible.

A White House spokesperson announced at a press conference that the US government listed all officers and soldiers of Unit 731 as war criminals, and at the same time listed all Kanto Army commanders, chief of staff and military police commanders, including Honjo Shin-chan, as war criminals, and retained the prosecution of previous Japanese Army ministers and prime ministers. After the war, if it is confirmed that Japanese Emperor Hirohito was responsible for this matter, then the war crimes of Japanese Emperor will be pursued.

"Mr. Dulles, do you also believe the rumors made by the Chinese?" Kojima made a surprised expression. In addition to sending the statement to the 731st Unit, Tokyo also sent rumors about the entire incident.

"It's not that I believe it, but that Washington, the White House believes it." Dulles looked at the island calmly: "What's more, as far as I know, General Merrill's commando was also participating in the operation. General Stilwell reported to Washington that General Merrill and his team members had seen the bacterial bombs with their own eyes, and the published materials were also seized by them. There is no doubt about this matter."

Kojima was stunned and unbelievable. After the incident of the 731st Army, he, the staff of the embassy, ​​and the Japanese expatriates in Switzerland, did not believe that the Japanese instinct could do such a thing.

Dulles did not doubt Washington's announcement at all. He looked at the island coldly, and was now so annoying about the humble Japanese who once gained his favor. Dulles was about to turn his nose down the mountain, and what he was going to do today has been done.

Kojima suddenly realized that Hua had to keep the Dulles line and leave a glimmer of hope for the future. He immediately shouted: "Mr. Dulles, I don't know the details of the 731 Unit, but I don't think it should affect our negotiations."

Dulles turned around and 1 Kojima said sincerely: "The work we are doing can reduce the casualties of many Americans and Japanese people, and shorten the process of the war. This is of great benefit to both of us. Why should we stop?"

Dulles frowned slightly, looked at the island with a sincere expression, and thought for a while and said, "For us, this war is a tragedy. For the Western world, the real threat is Nazi Germany. The future threat is Soviet Russia. The Soviet Russia is the biggest threat to the post-war international order. We must stop this polar bear. But it is not enough for us alone. We must unite all the free forces to stop him. You must know that its power is stronger than Germany."

"Yes" 1 Kojima seized the opportunity and nodded immediately in agreement: "Japan always regards opposition to GCism as our top priority, which is the common point in which we can achieve peace. Today I brought Tokyo's latest instructions that as long as the Emperor's system can be retained, Japan could have put down its weapons and accepted the Tehran Declaration."

Dulles felt excited when he heard this. Tokyo's reaction was beyond his expectations. It was arguing that the Emperor's system was discussed. In fact, after the last war, Washington and London had different opinions, and Duwu, who agreed and opposed it.

In agreement, the emperor system is the root of Japan's move towards militarism. Abolishing the emperor system can completely liquidate Japanese militarism.

Opponents believe that the emperor system should be retained. After the last war, the Hohenzollern dynasty was abolished, which eventually led to the Nazis coming to power, bringing greater disaster to the world. Lessons should be learned, the emperor system should be retained, and the tens of millions of Japanese people after the war were managed through the emperor.

Dulles himself agreed to retaining the emperor system. In his opinion, retaining the emperor system played a crucial role in the post-war Japanese and Japanese. After the war, with the decline of Japan and Japan, the Soviet Union would inevitably further expand their strength in Asia. China is temporarily unable to assume the responsibility of restricting the Soviet Union due to internal issues. Retaining the Japanese and Japanese countries with certain strength and restraining the Soviet Union and China is crucial to the interests of the United States in East Asia.

"I will report your conditions to Washington, but our meeting today ends here. As for whether to meet again, or when to meet again, Washington needs to make a decision."

After Dulles finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the mountain without stopping. Three agents responsible for safety on the periphery also followed him. Only the island and his entourage were left beside the bushes. The two of them stared blankly at Dulles's back...
