Chapter 136 The Future of Japan (Part 2)

After more than ten minutes.

The Japanese internal fire boat (traffic boat) that completed the boarding was tied to the huge ship of the Guangzhou. The Japanese military envoy represented Shimamura Suo and Akiyama Masao came to the Guangzhou battle command bridge.

Looking at the traces of war-torn battles on the deck of the warship, the Chinese military personnel were busy in an orderly and efficient manner, the full spirit of every sailor, the expression of burnout or slack, and the unconcealed alertness of every Chinese naval soldier, Akiyama Matsuru sighed secretly.

"Please hand over your weapons."

The fully armed Chinese Marines had a calm tone, but they had irresistible majesty.

Shimamura Suo and Akiyama Matsuno looked at each other and handed over their own gun and dagger.

"Come with me."

Captain Marine nodded and led a few people straight to the cabin.

At this moment, under the protection of the commander's office under the protection of the heavy armored boxes in the middle of the hull, the outer conference room was brightly lit. Xu Fan sat upright on the main seat, wearing military dresses, wearing white gloves, and a short sword inlaid around his waist, drinking tea leisurely. On one side of the long conference table, the senior officer of the Chinese Fleet looked serious and sat upright, and the flag tube on the conference table had been set with the national flags of China and Japan.

The door is open.

The Chinese Marine Corps, who were in military uniforms, "escorted" several Japanese naval officers in uniforms on black ships and white naval pants, walked in like escorting prisoners.

Shimamura Suo came to the empty seat on the side of the conference table, without taking a seat, and first bowed ninety degrees: "The Japanese Imperial Navy Joint Fleet Army, the Japanese Imperial Navy Major General, Shimamura Suo, came to discuss the armistice on the order of Commander Hirara Togo."

"If I remember correctly, our army's request was to surrender." Xu Fan, who was in the main position, smiled faintly, "If the noble envoy was not here to request surrender, then I think it's better not to waste time."

Shimamura Suo's face changed slightly, and he grabbed his pants tightly. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency... the Japanese Imperial Navy has its own dignity. Please..."

"If it weren't for your fighting that won our respect, we wouldn't have to give this opportunity at all." Xu Fan waved his hand lightly, "Faced with the reality, Major General Shimamura. 11 Russian warships sank eight, two were captured by suspended flights, one was captured intact, the commander of the Russian fleet, Admiral Makarov and Chief of Staff, Admiral Moras, were captured. On your side, three battleships sunk, the other Satsuma-class 2, had been severely damaged, and the Shimashima-class sank was severely damaged, and there were only three intact. We still had at least twelve main warships with combat capabilities, including two Guangzhou-class, two Wenzhou-class, two Cheetah-class, and two Baoding-class, which also had obvious performance advantages compared to your best warships. We have an absolute advantage in light forces, as well as the support of airship troops and aviation teams, and the blockade of submarines. You can't beat or escape."

"You have no chance in this battle." Xu Fan said calmly, "I will say frankly. Now, as long as I give you an order, I don't need to destroy your four and a half warships, even fifteen minutes. Do you believe it?"

Shimamura Suo looked at the marshal in disbelief, his face pale. He never expected that this Chinese military veteran who has always had a good reputation and is known for his generous and fairness is as sharp as a knife at this moment, and he does not even leave any room for anything. What's more sad is that Shimamura Suo himself knew that what the other party said was not false intimidation, but real confidence.

He looked at the marshal with a calm and confident expression and stammered in what he wanted to say, but didn't know how to refute it.

"Your Excellency, we may not be able to defeat or even escape." Akiyama Masaki, who had been silent on the side, said calmly, "But we can still resist firmly, at least we can cause you to be injured. Your warships are also injured in fierce battles, and even have many hidden dangers. Things on the battlefield are not accurate, maybe we can also fight a few of your ships. If it really doesn't work, we can sink ourselves."

A light flashed in Xu Fan's eyes, and his expression gradually became solemn.

"Your Excellency, we have expressed our greatest sincerity when we come to the peace talks." Akiyama Matsushi stared at Xu Fan with a calm tone, "This is based on the cherishment of the lives of generals and trust in your character. We are all soldiers, all of our pride and love for our country. We come to the peace talks not to be afraid of life and death, but to help the country. But if you are ready to slaughter Japan at will and treat us loyal and brave imperial soldiers as prisoners, please allow us to retain the freedom of resistance."

Xu Fan stared at the young colonel's staff officer, and nodded with praise after a while: "You are Akiyama Masato's first staff officer?"

Akiyama Masao bowed slightly: "It's just that I'm not here to go."

"I have long admired your name." Xu Fan smiled slightly, "When I see you today, your eloquence seems to be inferior to military studies."

"It's not allowed." Akiyama Masaki bowed slightly again and said, "Your Magistrate is so powerful that he is in East Asia. The younger generations of later generations have already become well-known. I'm a little disappointed when I see you today."

Xu Fan smiled unanimously: "I would like to hear it carefully."

"In my opinion, the situation in East Asia has become the dominant one of your country. Japan has failed in this battle, and Russia is unable to support itself. It may be difficult to retreat to its own borders. It can only rely on the severe winter cold to delay time, wait for your country's attack to be frustrated, and then seek to regain balance and seek reciprocal peace talks." Akiyama Masayuki said frankly, "The situation is at this point, and it is no secret that what my country wants is just a decent peace talk, and there is no hope of defeat or even a draw. Your country's request is reasonable and can be discussed, which is also the meaning of the commander-in-chief of Dongxiang. At this point, your Majesty has fallen into the lonely army in Liaodong. Our naval fleet is already in the survival of the country. At this time, we must bravely bear the future destiny of the country, which is also the unanimous view of the whole fleet."

"However, your country's prosperity will inevitably threaten the balance of power in the Western Pacific that the European and American powers have worked hard to maintain." Akiyama Masao said calmly, "Your country wants to maximize control of our country and North Korea, establish hegemony in the Western Pacific, and even exclude European and American forces, especially military existence. This has touched the Asian order of the European and American powers, especially challenging Britain's maritime rights in the Pacific region, and directly threatened the key to India, Australia-New Zealand and Malaya, the British Empire. At the beginning of your defeat of the Japanese-Russian joint fleet, the conflict with the European and American powers is no longer enough to be eliminated."

"I can guarantee that as long as the result of this naval battle is spread, the great powers will immediately start to connect and prepare to intervene strongly to destroy your country's plan to attack the Japanese archipelago." Akiyama Matsuyuki continued, "They will provide Japan with another loan and ask for new collateral. They will squeeze the last bit of Japan's blood, and at the same time use both soft and hard to force Japan to continue to act as a chess piece and watchdog to restrain China. In order to make your country surrender and also shock the country, they may issue diplomatic intimidation and military threats. The American Great White Fleet, the British Far East Fleet, the French Annan Fleet, and the Netherlands colonial fleet will take joint action. If your country does not surrender, the dark clouds of war will be shrouded in East Asia, and this time, your country, which has been exhausted for a long battle, will be a joint effort against the European and American powers."

"In this case, your country's land military strength is okay, but every naval warship is precious." Akiyama Matsuno said frankly, "If our remaining warships fight to the death, your country's fleet will also be damaged. If our fleet is completely wiped out, we can only accept the protection of European and American powers and fight with your country to the end. In this way, China and Japan will lose both sides, and the ultimate winner will not be the European and American powers. Russia may take advantage of this and revival. The war will last for a long time. Where will your country go in the end?"

"Since that's the case, why not be honest and honest with us and reach a fair and reasonable truce." Akiyama Masayuki took a deep breath and stared at Xu Fan with bright eyes. "The commander-in-chief of the United Nations' joint fleet, Dongxiang, has been fully authorized to deal with the fleet's execution in accordance with the emperor's edict. The conditions for the truce are specially proposed as follows..."

Xu Fan waved his hand and said calmly: "Colonel Qiushan, please wait a moment and let me clarify some things first."

Akiyama was stunned and looked at Xu Fan with some confusion.

"Colonel Akiyama, what you said just now is that our country's dominance will inevitably challenge the balance of power and mutual restraint implemented by Europe and the United States in the Western Pacific, and destroy their "use Asia to control Asia". This is generally true." Xu Fan smiled, "But even if the great powers want to interfere, what is my empire afraid of?"

Speaking of this, the marshal rose up with his eyes as lightning and his expression was arrogant. Many Chinese officers also showed a little astonishment, as if they rarely saw the marshal so energetic today.

"Today's Imperial Navy, regardless of the performance of warships, tactical ideas, general literacy, and sea and air cooperation, are all the best, and they are never afraid of any challenges." Xu Fan stared at Akiyama Masayuki with a firm tone. "The American Dabai Fleet traveled a long distance, and even if it uses British military ports, it lacked enough base support, ground staff support, and lacked enough light ships to form real combat power. The French Annan Fleet and the Dutch Colonial Fleet are famous and not worth worrying about. The British Fleet lacks military strength, which is nothing more than ten old-style warships. Even if it transports troops from the local area, it will take more than half a year, and the long journey is exhausted. Our imperial fleet is waiting for work, and the support of nearshore port groups and fortress groups, airship reconnaissance, the main fleet is fully equipped and has high fighting spirit. Even if it joins forces, why fear it?"

"When the war begins near the coast of the Empire, our submarine forces can adopt gradual reduction tactics, use the island groups in the South China Sea to repeatedly ambush and attack, weaken their troops, exhaust their crews, and damage their morale." Xu Fan continued, "You have witnessed the power of our aircraft. Perhaps it does not actually damage the main ship, but it can damage morale and can attack repeatedly. It poses a greater threat to its light forces. In addition, the two Cheetah-class and two Guangzhou-class ships of our Empire have been equipped (actually not yet), and there are a total of six battleships on the ship platform. In addition, the Empire has dozens of submarines, light cruisers, more destroyers, and torpedo boats to be put into service one after another. The Imperial Navy will reach its peak of combat power in half a year. Even if Britain destroys the Sino-British alliance and the air states are invading, what are you afraid of? "

"The British are allies of China, and their lives are all in my hands. How dare they bet on our fortune?" Xu Fan shook his head, "The Indian Congress Party has been planning for Indian independence. Our empire defeated European powers and has been regarded as a model for India's wise men. The imperial army has entered Siam and pacified its country is just around the corner. The British dare to take action at sea, but they are afraid that the imperial army will march from the old land of Myanmar and Siam to directly attack Malaya and India. The Chinese forces in the South China Sea of ​​our empire are mixed, and most of them are Chinese-armed, and they cooperate with each other. In addition, the Indian Congress Party takes the opportunity to revive the matter, but I am afraid that the British will not be able to take care of themselves."

"The British have always been smooth, how could they bet on their own national destiny for Japan?" Xu Fan's words made Akiyama's heart sink little by little, "Wake up, Akiyama Japan was used as a pawn by European and American powers to restrain the empire. Now, it has been a second failure. If Japan has remaining value as a pawn, then it is the value used to sacrifice. They will only use Japan as a price to ask our empire for some benefits. This may include intimidation, but they have no courage and courage to start a war against the empire, and even if the war begins, the empire can win. The most miserable person must be Japan."

Akiyama Masayuki's body shook slightly, his face was pale, but he was looking at Xu Fan hard.

"The peace talks I give you are not to deceive you or delay time to gather troops." Xu Fan sighed, "I just don't want to see China and Japan fight to the death like this inexplicably. I just hope to shed less blood between China and Japan. I just hope to see that starting from Japan, my empire can restore the traditional East Asian kingly order and restore the right and right of our East Asian nations in this traditional Chinese circle of power. I just hope to let all oppressed nations in Asia understand that Asia is the Asia of Asians. My China is the hope of all Asian nations."

"Colonel Akiyama, I heard that you are a master of Sinology. You should understand that there is no inevitable truth between China and Japan." Xu Fan stared at Akiyama Masayuki, and his tone was a little calmer. "China has been the source of Japanese culture since ancient times. In a sense, it can be said to be the relationship between mother and son. Since Xu Fu gradually advanced eastward, he has transformed into Emperor Shenwu of your country. Three hundred boys and girls have reproduced into the Chinese nation of your country. China and Japan live together with each other and are enthroned by the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, the Kingdom of Japan has been enthroned by the Kingdom of Japan.

King, in the Tang Dynasty, your country sent Tang envoys to pay tribute, and the relationship between the two countries has always been friendly and can be a model for later generations. Unfortunately, China's land sank and its country was ruined, and your country had ambitious people planning to build the mainland, and the two countries launched wars. Today, the momentum of our revival of China is unstoppable. Your country returns to our Chinese wings, unites and fights against the European and American powers, and cleanses the humiliation and corruption that white colonists have over hundreds of years on our Asian land. What can we hesitate?”

Shimamura Suo's face changed, and he couldn't help swallowing at this moment.

"As the empire's naval marshal, I ask you to surrender to respect your military character and qualities, and also out of love for the elites of the East Asian nation. The blood has flowed too much and should not flow like this endlessly. The blood of the East Asian nation flows through internal friction, and the ultimate benefit is only the European and American powers." Xu Fan said, "Colonel Akiyama, Major General Shimamura, I admire your patriotism, but you must understand that the empire has twice suffered from Japanese invasion. As a soldier of the Chinese Empire, how strong the hostility of Japan is for this ambitious country. As I myself, if I had not considered some other things, I would have ordered the sinking of all your warships, then killing to Tokyo Bay, bombarding all moving objects, destroying your coastal cities, sinking all your ships, and turning the entire Japan into a dead island."

Akiyama Masaki looked pale, clenched his fists and stared at Xu Fan.

"You have also seen the arson shells of our navy. Let me tell you the truth, we not only have arson shells, but also arson bombs. Our airships can directly blow Japanese cities into seas of fire and razed the ground." Xu Fan's expression turned cold and his tone was stern, "Japan was mostly plagued by earthquakes and typhoons. For the convenience of reconstruction, most of the houses were made of bamboo or wooden, and there were dense buildings. Our empire could shell and air strikes and carry out large-scale arson operations. At that time, flames evaporate everywhere and oxygen will be sucked dry. The entire city became a terrifying vacuum zone due to the hot air flowing upwards, and then a terrifying storm formed due to air pressure, which would cause houses, personnel, objects, and everything, and turned into ashes in the terrifying hot wind of high temperature."

Hearing this, Shimamura Suo and Akiyama Matsuo were already pale. They had received systematic naval and basic science education and knew very well that they were at least in terms of physics. If the other party really did this, Japan would only become a terrifying Shura hell and be completely destroyed.

"We can destroy Japan, and we don't even need to dispatch too many troops. When we do this, the people within Japan who have been cruelly exploited by the government for so many years will rise up and rebel. Think about it. The great master will return it, and the emperor personally takes over the country. Now he is completely defeated and the enemy's troops are on the ground. Once the whole country is in a state of disgrace, I am afraid that the emperor of all generations will no longer have the authority and magic, and Japan will be divided."

Xu Fan paused and sighed, "Life is devastated, the people are vendetta-killing each other, and there are greed everywhere. Old vassals, even shogunate, old vassals who have lost their privileges, farmers who have been tortured by heavy taxes and laborers who have been slaughtered in mines and factories. All of these people will go crazy. They will rob whatever they see, reform and revitalize, leave Asia and Europe. In the face of this violent tide, nothing will be destroyed in the end, and it will become a hellish country."
