Chapter 1203: Surrender (Part 2)
In fact, Ishihara Kaner himself was also very confused. In theory, he was a senior official in the Japanese base camp. If he wanted to clean up, he would definitely be the first batch of cleanups.
But he was detained all the time. Seeing that most of the people around him were arrested for trial and never came back, Ishihara Kanir was confused about his treatment.
Even if the National Defense Forces do not deal with it, they must interrogate themselves?! But there is no procedure for interrogation, which makes Ishihara Kanir a little overwhelmed.
"Okay, can you tell me why I only saw me now?" Ishihara smiled and said to Wang Yajiao: "You must know more about my current situation than anyone else. What I want to know is why I am the last one?!"
Wang Yajiao was silent. He was thinking about how he should test Ishihara Kaner's bottom line. Ishihara Kaner was undoubtedly an extremely smart soldier.
It is extremely difficult to take out the truth from the mouth of such a person. If it is a legitimate interrogation, Wang Yajiao is confident that he can get the truth from his mouth.
But this is obviously impossible. The General Staff gave the order to test whether the former lieutenant general of the Japanese General Staff was willing to cooperate. This was obviously not an order to make him torture.
But if Wang Yajiao didn't torture, it would take a lot of time to ask himself that it would take. This is also the reason why Wang Yajiao never came to see Ishihara Kaner after receiving the order.
"Mr. Ishihara, we are all smart people. Then I won't go around in circles..." Looking at Ishihara's eyes, Wang Yajiao knew that lies could not deceive him.
Let’s just tell the truth. Whether he agrees or not, he only reports to the General Staff. The disposal plan for Ishihara Kan's is determined by the General Staff.
"The General Staff believes that although Mr. Ishihara had done things to hurt China during the war, you have also contributed to the Chinese revolution, so the General Staff is still considering your punishment."
"Over this period, we have collected a lot of information about you. From your tenure in the Kanto Army to your return to the base camp, and then your experience in Southeast Asia, Russia, etc., we have collected all of them."
After pausing, Wang Yajiao looked at Ishihara and asked softly: "So, the General Staff asked me to ask you. Do you need a peaceful post-war Japan, or do you want to see corpses everywhere?!"
Wang Yajiao's words made Ishihara Kan's pupils shrink suddenly. He finally knew where the National Defense Forces meant to keep him. They needed someone who could bridge the forces of all parties to appear in the Japanese political arena.
His intelligence, and he had never participated in the ** and opposed the invasion of China in the later period, thus he entered the eyes of the National Defense Forces.
"Of course I hope that Japan will be peaceful after the war. The pain brought to us by the war is too great. It will take a long time to bridge this wound..."
Wang Yajiao smiled and nodded, saying, "The war is caused by the army, and you even have the deeds of fueling this matter."
"But we don't want to worry about these. Japan will no longer have an army from now on. There may be more careful observation! But the army will definitely not be available."
"As for Japan's security, our National Defense Forces will be fully responsible for the future. We will not interfere in your government affairs. Of course, you need to be responsible for the venue and expenses of our garrison..."
Wang Yajiao knew that it would be better to talk to Ishihara Kaner directly. Before coming into contact with Ishihara Kaner, Wang Yajiao had already had a very in-depth understanding and research on him.
These understandings are not limited to paper, but are more about interrogating many officers and soldiers who have been in contact with Ishihara Kanir. From their mouths, they get the impression of Ishihara Kanir.
Then, combined with the various information provided in the file, Wang Yajiao came to a general conclusion. There is no need to tell lies when talking to this person.
If you do this, it will only make things worse. Therefore, opening the skylight and talking in a bright spot is what Wang Yajiao should do.
"Is this the purpose of making me exist all the time..." Ishihara smiled bitterly, and Wang Yajiao just waved his hand with a smile and said.
"Mr. Ishihara, please don't rush to refuse. Now there are more than three million Japanese prisoners of war serving in China. They need to pay the price for themselves to participate in this war..."
"According to the regulations of the United Zhengfu, these people will have to complete the designated project and complete labor before they can be released." Wang Yajiao still looked smiling, but this smile made Ishihara smile.
"Among them, even the lightest, they were sentenced to fifteen years in prison. I believe that if you work hard with us, a certain part of those who perform well will receive a commutation of sentence..."
Ishihara Kanir was silent, and millions of Japanese were serving labor in China. Ishihara Kanir knew more than anyone else. The war caused Japan to lose millions of men, which made Japan go through a long period of low and chaotic period after the war.
If Japan wants to stabilize, then an appropriate population ratio will be indispensable. The National Defense Forces use this to threaten itself in order to force themselves to include themselves in their hands.
Even for the lives of millions of people, Ishihara Kanir had to agree. Otherwise, how many people could survive until they were finished in service depends on the mood of the National Defense Forces.
If they were in a good mood, they might be able to live more people until the end of labor service. But more people may die directly during labor service.
"Why do you want to look for me instead of others?! I believe there will be a more suitable candidate than me." Ishihara Kanir said this after being silent for a long time.
"Oh, that's because we need more power in Japan. This will keep stability without sliding into the abyss of militarism again."
Wang Yajiao smiled and said, "For example, we have demolished the Yasukuni Shrine. Wherever the so-called 'priests' have been sentenced. The local area has been converted into a public toilet, and now many people are visiting each day..."
Wang Yajiao's words made Ishihara Kanir's face turn extremely blue. Yasukuni Shrine was built under the order of the Meiji Emperor Japan. This shrine is dedicated to soldiers and family members who died in battle for the Japanese Empire since the Meiji Restoration. Unlike other shrines, it has always been specially managed by the Japanese military and is a symbol of national shinto.
But now, the shrine has been demolished and turned into a toilet?! The priests who once served the shrine have now become war criminals.
Thinking of this, Ishihara Kaner felt it was unacceptable.
"I suggest you don't think so much. This shrine was designated by our commander-in-chief to demolish it!" But Wang Yajiao smiled coldly and said, "If we don't demolish it, we will demolish the entire Japan. Of course you can choose how we demolish it."
Wang Yajiao's words made Ishihara Kanir silent again. Japan's expansion inevitably requires attacking China. The victory of Japan's Meiji Restoration was the result of constantly cutting meat from China.
The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Eight-Nation Alliance's War of Aggression against China, the Russo-Japanese War, World War I, the September 18th Incident, the July 7th Incident, etc., Japan's rise step by step was all the result of lying on him and sucking blood while the once extremely powerful country was weak.
Now, the giant woke up. He began to wield his big stick to ask Japan for the blood debts that Japan once owed, but unfortunately, Japan could not pay the blood debts.
Therefore, this giant will choose to destroy everything he thinks can be regarded as paying back his blood debt.
"The heroes who once revived the Meiji Restoration are also enshrined everywhere. Do you even want to destroy them..." After a long time, Ishihara Kaner said to Wang Yajiao.
"That is a Japanese hero, it has nothing to do with us. At the same time, I remember that many heroes of the Meiji Restoration participated in the invasion of us." But Wang Yajiao still sneered and smiled at Ishihara: "These people once owed a lot of blood debts in Zhong. Now we just smashed his sacrificial position, so it would be nice to build a toilet..."
"If we follow our traditional customs, they should be pulled out of the coffin and whipped the body."
Wang Yajiao's words made Ishihara feel chilled. He then realized that he was not facing a good person, but an enemy who was owed a lot of blood debts!
"Maybe you don't believe it, but what I want to say is. I once looked forward to something that was that the powerful China and the powerful Japan united to challenge those white-dominated worlds."
"Because of this dream, I cheered for the success of Xinhai when I was serving in North Korea." Ishihara Kaner sat on a chair and sighed at Wang Yajiao.
"But unfortunately, you did not become strong after Xinhai. You are still so poor and weak, which makes me despair about my dreams. The warlords have been fighting for many years, and there are famines everywhere. Opium, selling **, bandits..."
"I spent a long time looking for answers everywhere in China. But what I saw made me even more desperate." Ishihara smiled bitterly and said, "The warlords don't care about anyone's life or death at all, they only care about their own interests..."
"They robbed and lie, and flattered me just to get Japan's support in exchange for arms. Let them keep robbing territory and killing their compatriots..."
Ishihara Kanir said this and paused, "So, at that time I began to think that China needs education, and we in Japan are very suitable for such education..."
Wang Yajiao frowned and didn't say anything. In fact, he had to admit that some of Ishihara Kan's words were correct.
During the warlords' melee, famine continued. There was chaos everywhere, and no matter who was fighting for power and profit, few of them were caring for the people.
They were full of understanding of justice, but in fact they did everything they did was a man and a woman. They were willing to spend money to marry their concubines in their 10th and 20th rooms, but they were reluctant to give out a penny to provide disaster relief.
From 1920 to 1921, the four provinces and regions in North China died: more than 10 million people died and 30 million people were killed. In 1925, the number of deaths in the five provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi was unknown.
From 1928 to 1930, the eight northern provinces died: more than 13 million people died. This was a catastrophe mainly drought, locusts, wind, snow, hail, water, and epidemics. It was centered on Shaanxi and Gansu, covering eight provinces in Shanxi, Suiyuan, Hebei, Chahar, Rehe, and Henan, and spreading part or most of the provinces in Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou and other provinces.
The disaster lasted from 1928 to 1930, and the number of people fleeing famines was countless, and the starvation people died in the wasteland was about 10 million. Shaanxi's original population was 13 million, and in the three-year-old wilderness, it became starvation people, more than 3 million people died of epidemics and more than 6 million displaced people, and the two accounted for 70% of the province's population. The estimated refugees are about 50 million...
At this time, the average life expectancy of Chinese people is only 35 years, 5 years higher than the average life expectancy of later Africans...
Such a broken country really cannot make people have any hope. Even if Wang Yajiao is extremely angry, he has to admit that if he stood in Ishihara Kaner's position, he might not have done such a thing.
"My initial idea was to separate the three northeastern provinces. Implement my ideas there, but unfortunately my colleagues obviously don't want me to do this." As he said that, Ishihara smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, your commander-in-chief would not agree to me do this..."
"And what happened afterwards was completely out of control. With His Majesty's acquiescence and indulgence, a large number of army and naval officers began to try every means to start a war. At this time, I had thought of stopping it. But I was powerless..."
"The Battle of Songhu completely exposed the weakness of the government. This is one of the reasons why Japan's full invasion of China..."
After saying this, Wang Yajiao could only smile bitterly. The Japanese army dispatched nine divisions and one brigade, with a total of 300,000 people. The government mobilized seventy divisions and seven brigades at that time.
There were more than 700,000 people in total. Although the number of people was dominant and the early stages of the war, the National Defense Forces were eventually defeated in the Battle of Songhu. The Japanese army lost more than 50,000 people, but the losses of the National Government could not be counted at all.
All we can know is that there was only one army commander, one division commander and four deputy division commanders died in battle.
At the beginning, the Fifth Army even attacked the Japanese Marine Corps with five divisions with the strength of the troops. It still had a night attack, but it did not attack...
Who can blame this?! The soldiers were given their lives at that time, and there were more than a dozen generals who died in battle. And countless soldiers who flocked to the battlefield but died in the Japanese artillery fire.
"At that time, if you resisted the attack, maybe this war would not have happened..." Ishihara's words made Wang Yajiao stay silent.
No one knows the causes and consequences of this matter better than him. At that time, what Ishihara Kanir insisted on was the policy of not expanding the war. He even hoped that he would not overstimulate China.
But unfortunately, the military headquarters at that time had been occupied by hardliners and radicals. Shortly after the outbreak of the battle, Japan issued a Shanghai dispatch order for the 9th, 13th, 101st Divisions and 3rd Flying Regiments.
At the same time, Kanir Ishihara, the then First Operations Minister of the General Staff, immediately submitted his resignation.
"All these have passed, and it's useless to say more." Wang Yajiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Tell me about now, what kind of Japan do you want to see?!"
Now, it was Ishihara Kanir's turn to remain silent.
"Do I... have any other choices..."
The Dadonggou aircraft carrier of the National Defense Forces Navy Combined Fleet slowly leaned towards the Tianjin Port, slaughtering tigers on the port, wearing armbands without armbands and slapped military uniforms.
On the battleship, everyone stood on the side of the ship and stood solemnly at the tiger and shouted loudly: "The aircraft carrier of the National Defense Forces Naval Combined Fleet 'Dadonggou'! Welcome the Commander-in-Chief!!"
After drinking this sentence, the soldiers on the warship stood in front of each other and saluted a solemn military salute to the tiger on the dock.
Tu Menghu looked at these naval soldiers and laughed. He even burst into tears. He thought of the general in his later generations. The general had visited the US aircraft carrier.
The veteran general who had been in the army since the Agrarian Revolution War and was then the commander of the navy looked so eager when he looked at the US helicopters.
When the veteran general looked at the US aircraft carrier and the US fighter jet, his eyes were so eager.
The old man wanted to build an aircraft carrier for the Chinese Navy, and worked hard all his life for this. Unfortunately, he still failed to see our own aircraft carrier being launched into service until the old man passed away.
The moment before the fire of life was extinguished, the old man was even thinking about the aircraft carrier. He thought of building his own aircraft carrier for this country with a sea boundary of millions of square kilometers.
"Salute! The heroes of my navy!!" I don't know when Tuhu was already in tears. He took the wine bowl handed over by the adjutant next to him and shouted to the naval soldiers who saluted him.
"Sir! My Chinese hero. Respect! My motherland warrior!!" Tu Fenghu shed tears and drank the bowl of wine in one go.
At this time, the naval soldiers on the side of the ship all turned red with excitement. This sentence is enough. Those comrades who died on the battlefield, those who once sacrificed their lives.
Those colleagues who lost their hands and were forced to leave the active troops were enough.
The strong wind suddenly blew, but it was like the heroes who had fought for this country but were unwilling to accept the fall of the country and returned after hearing the sound. The cloak on the tiger's body was clamoring.
Then, heavy rain fell. In the rain, the tiger slaughtered slowly onto the warship. This was his first time boarding the Shanghai Army's warship. The soldiers all hoped to show their best side in front of the commander-in-chief.
Everyone is working hard and meticulously completing their work, while slaughtering the tiger while watching the sea on the side of the ship.
This is our warship, this is our navy. The once poor and weak Chinese navy no longer exists. The Chinese navy here is a powerful navy with more than ten aircraft carriers, dozens of battleships and cruisers.
China is no longer a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country. China now has millions of troops, and even European and American powers need to target the powerful country!
