ps: Today is the New Year. I wish you all a happy holiday and a happy family.

The Americans were not so relaxed. MacArthur got off the plane from Seoul in his pajamas and immediately drove to Gyeongbokgung Palace, where the North Korean Governor-General's Palace is located. It has been turned into a low and narrow building of the Joint Operations Forward Command Center, full of dissatisfaction.

, but extremely energetic.

Taking the corn pipe from the secretary, he took a deep breath to refresh himself. With his eyes like a hawk, Old Mike pushed the military map away and asked: "Okay, gentlemen, tell me, how bad is the situation?"

As the commander-in-chief of the Army in the Pacific Theater and the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces in the Korean battlefield, his status and identity determine that he can understand and make decisions about everything. When an incident occurs suddenly, he can immediately understand the specific situation, which is also an essential quality for a qualified commander.

Chief of Staff Richard Sutherland's face was sallow, as if he had smoked too much, with a hint of grayness. He said in a hoarse voice from exhaustion: "It's very bad! General, I'm afraid I have never seen such trouble in my life."

situation!"

"Huh? Is that so?" MacArthur was not as excited as he imagined. He waved his pipe gently and raised his eyebrows sharply. "Tell me about it, I'll listen."

Sutherland shook his head and said: "You can see that the entire Japanese archipelago, except for Hokkaido, more than 80% of the other land is experiencing unprecedented earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. In fact, we don't know how strong it is.

, because all the reconnaissance planes were unable to clearly see the world shrouded in thick smoke, and the communication of the ground troops was completely lost due to the interference of the violent changes in the geomagnetic field. However, based on what we know in front of us, we can conclude that Japan is finished."

He took a stack of yellowed paper from the side and pointed at the handwritten numbers hastily calculated on it with his furry fingers: "Look, preliminary estimates are that Japan's southeastern coast has been completely destroyed, and the residents, military facilities, and industry are basically finished.

, the affected people are the entire country, and the number of casualties and missing people is conservatively estimated at two thousand

Five million to thirty million! And the worst part is, we don’t know how long this sinking island can last. Judging from the reaction of the Japanese, they seem to believe that this is a punishment from their gods, and that it is the entire country.

The so-called 'Tenchu' that sank, I'm afraid their morale will hit rock bottom in the next battle."

Sutherland said it more euphemistically, but MacArthur could tell that the Japanese had no hope at all!

"Thirty million!" Even though MacArthur was tough and cold in his heart, he couldn't help but feel his scalp numb as he thought about what this terrible number represented. Japan's total population was only 70 million, and it had lost two to three million due to wars and other reasons.

It doesn't look like much, but they are all young and strong.

With the continuous torment of natural disasters and wars, a large number of Japanese have migrated to the Korean Peninsula, greatly squeezing the living space of less than 30 million Koreans on this land. It has reached its limit so far. If it were not dragged down by the war,

They are all busy with things, so internal disputes may become a big headache in the first place.

The most terrible thing is that the United States originally made up its mind to provide money and weapons to arm the Japanese and use them as guns to contain China and Soviet Russia. Now that something like this has happened in Japan, once the collapse of the entire nation spreads, the barrel of the gun will

No more, do we have to switch to American soldiers to face the Chinese directly?

MacArthur did not think that his young men would be timid, and he never doubted that the soldiers of the U.S. Army were the best, but war always kills people. Facing China's thousands of artillery and tank defenses lined up along the Yalu River,

If we were to attack it, God knows how many people we would lose!

He doesn’t want to bear the infamy of letting innocent soldiers die for nothing. Without the Japanese lackeys, how can we continue this war? Do we expect the domestic politicians to play tricks and make peace? I’m afraid it’s too late to play tricks now, right?

After thinking over and over again until all the dregs were left in a bag of cigarettes, MacArthur banged on the ashtray, and finally said decisively for a long time: "No matter what, we must save the Japanese as much as possible. This is what we should do as an ally."

fulfill our obligations. Immediately issue a notice to the Chinese people in my name that we must

Concentrate on disaster relief, ask for a moratorium on the war, and if possible, move all Fletcher's remaining ships to the Sea of ​​Japan, whatever it takes to save one more. As for the Japanese government, urge them to mobilize troops to help us settle down first

The situation on the Korean Peninsula must not cause greater trouble."

Chief of Staff Sutherland understood that the general's intention was probably to seek a war buffer euphemistically. Of course, taking the opportunity to make adjustments was also conditional.

As for appeasing the Japanese, I'm afraid they are worried about the North Koreans' backlash.

No one wants to be a lackey, slave, or inferior person all their life. The Koreans were forced to submit by Japanese force fifty years ago. The oppression they have received since being enslaved has been quite good. But this does not mean that they will not resist. In Soviet Russia and China

With the support of Japan, as many as seven or eight forces have been active. Now that Japan has suddenly collapsed, it would be strange if they did not take the opportunity to cause trouble!

In any case, the Korean Peninsula is the homeland where these people have lived for hundreds of years, and the Japanese are outsiders. If they fight against each other, bloodshed will be inevitable. Full-scale riots and conflicts will eventually bring down the military operations in the entire theater. What's more,

Deadly!

MacArthur was a man of great talent and strategy. If he wanted to use a war to achieve his fame for centuries, he would never allow mistakes to be made. Although there were various difficulties in the past, he was still ambitious and would never allow uncontrollable things to happen at this time.

Civil strife leads to complete uncontrollability.

However, do the Chinese really listen to the greetings? War is not something you can start and stop whenever you want, especially when faced with such a rare and good opportunity. If you are an American, you will definitely not care what the other side faces.

Such natural disasters will no longer occur if the fighter plane is missed. In a war that determines the life and death of a country, the slightest bit of kindness from a woman will lead to unpredictable consequences!

Sutherland didn't say much, and immediately started making arrangements after agreeing. MacArthur put a new pot of tobacco on his own, and his eyes flashed as he thought about how to deal with it. His heart was really not that peaceful!

Of course, it was impossible for Old Mike to directly negotiate peace with the Chinese on his own. He had to go through the US government, and the decision-making proposal went directly to the White House through the Army Staff and was put on Roosevelt's desk. The president convened the think tanks to discuss it, although he did not think there was any chance of success.

There was an opportunity, but it always seemed to have to be done. So I agreed first and asked Secretary of State Hull to try to contact him through public channels.

No matter what, the starting point of the United States is justice, disaster relief. No matter how the war is fought, civilians are innocent. Even though the Americans themselves do not believe it, it is better than doing nothing. At least in terms of face. The United States does it righteously.

If China does not agree, it will appear that they are too cold-blooded. We still have to do something about our international image!

But what Roosevelt and the others really want to discuss is the response strategy after the situation deteriorates sharply. In the morning, China used the clear judgment put forward by the "Global Disaster Prevention and Rescue Temporary Working Group" of the City of Light, which was recognized by American meteorological experts, at most half

Months later, the United States

The soil will be affected by an unprecedented and terrible dust cloud. By then, most cities in the north, and even all the way to New York, may face a disaster more terrifying than the London smog. It is impossible to say how many people will die.

The impact on production and normal order is immeasurable!

London is just a city, and the United States is a country!

Of course, no one knows that this matter is purely a big trouble caused by Zhu Bin on a whim. They are more willing to believe that this is the retribution of heaven for the Japanese. If they can take the opportunity to ask the Chinese to slow down their attack and take a breather.

It couldn't be better.

Even the crazy Hitler jumped out and acted as a good guy at this time, saying nonsense like "War is a war for soldiers and has nothing to do with civilians. Disasters are for all mankind and we must face them together." He was even very "enthusiastic"

claimed that Germany could send an entire navy to the Japanese islands to help rescue victims.

The British did not hesitate to expose the truth. You just wanted to take the opportunity to move the naval security blockaded in the North Sea to the Atlantic to cause trouble with us, right? There is no way!

Churchill gave a tough speech: "Japan has been a stable ally of the United Kingdom for many years. It is the camp that the British influenced and led Japan into the civilized world. Now facing an unprecedented disaster, the United Kingdom has no shirking responsibility. It will definitely assume the important task of saving and helping its friends. As for the

Those saboteurs with ulterior motives should reflect on their actions to see if they comply with basic human moral standards!"

Britain was breathless from Germany's constant air raids. Of course, it hoped to take the opportunity to slow down and Hitler could join in the disaster relief. He didn't need to send many people. As long as he temporarily stopped the attack, even if it was just for a week, Britain would be able to gain at least

10% of the resistance power saved!

The Soviet Union had another reaction. Stalin never expected such a drastic change, so he decided to launch a coordinated attack. But now the allies have been drained from the cauldron. They want to become the main attacker. This is absolutely not possible!

Immediately ordered the Far East Military District to stop feigning attacks, switch to on-site defense, and unceremoniously renegotiate a series of cooperation terms previously proposed by Japan. Forget about cooperation, the Soviet Far East Navy can provide certain emergency and disaster relief assistance.

So the price is that Japan must completely pay for the sovereignty of Sakhalin and the four northern islands, and lastly, the actual control rights and resource exploitation rights.

No one is more skillful and shameless than Lao Maozi when it comes to taking advantage of the situation. They don’t care about face, as long as they can get enough benefits, they don’t care whether it’s a flood or the destruction of the world!

Almost everyone thought that Zhu Bin would not agree to the request of the United States. After all, no one wanted to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, right? But they all thought wrong. Zhu Bin actually publicly stated his position on behalf of the Chinese side at the first time, saying that China

The war is only to safeguard national dignity and defend territorial integrity from aggression. It is a passive counterattack from beginning to end. We will never engage in shameless activities such as taking advantage of others' misfortune and adding insult to injury.

On the contrary, China will take the initiative to suspend all military operations and carefully monitor the progress of the disaster in Japan. If necessary, it will also struggle to squeeze out a few ships to participate in the disaster relief work.

He has repeatedly reiterated that China has been a peace-loving nation since ancient times, with an inclusive and broad-minded mind. It only needs to give appropriate punishment and warning to some uncivilized ethnic groups for their barbaric and violent acts, and there is no pursuit to the end. Japan can understand

We still welcome it when you realize your mistakes, reflect on them and apologize! The United States is able to use its troops who have traveled tens of thousands of miles for disaster relief, and we very much appreciate this behavior.

At the same time, Zhu Bin did not forget to say hello to Li Zongren, and deliberately relaxed control in the national public opinion media, allowing those restless pro-Japanese elements to jump out and express their "compassion" and "noble sentiments", and then use the government to intervene

Form the so-called "Japan Disaster Relief Special Action Committee", recruit all these people, and then find some big ships to load them and transport them directly to Japan. Let them perform their filial piety to their ancestors and parents in their hearts.

As for whether these people will be unable to stand the harsh conditions there, or even be tortured to death by the successive tsunamis and earthquakes, that is not a question that Zhu Bin needs to consider. Since they wish they could change their skins and become the gray grandsons of Japan, then be generous

Give them a chance to show off! In the past, when Japan was strong and fierce, it was no good to just follow others' thumbs. Now that Japan is in danger, it's important to show off your skills at critical moments. That's called loyalty and unrepentance!

This hand is very dark, very vicious, and extremely cold. Generally, people with a softer heart can't accept it. But whether it's Zhu Bin or Li Zongren, there is no one among the big guys in the country who didn't make it out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

, used to seeing the demise of human life, let alone

It seems that a bunch of people are so full that they have nothing to do. They don’t know how to show filial piety to their biological fathers and mothers, and they don’t know how to respect their ancestors, but they worship them like water in their heads. They can’t even do things like eating and dressing.

Thousand-year-old Japanese slaves could save food even if they died.

China also has no shortage of those Japanese devils whose hearts are filled with darkness and whose heads are wrapped with menstrual belts.

After all the superficial work was done, at the plenary military meeting that was actually held, Zhu Bin had a different tone: "Stop the war? There is no way! Who do the Americans think they are? If they want to fight, they can fight, and if they want to make peace, they can make peace? I won't agree to it.

!We will not launch an attack on North Korea for the time being. No problem, we are just right

Provide those Korean volunteers with an opportunity to prove themselves. Those who should be given weapons should not be stingy, and those who should be supported should not be slack. In short, no matter what, in the shortest time, arm the Koreans to the maximum extent. Let them have the ability and conditions to fight with

The Japanese and American aggressors shall fight to the death!”

Those who don’t know the truth may be moved to tears when they hear this. For example, Jin Jiu, Jin Guang and others all dream of leading the Korean people to resist aggression and strive for freedom.

However, when the Chinese military bosses heard this, they were all sweating. They secretly muttered in their hearts: "Zhu Hanchen is becoming more and more insidious. Not only has the American devils been tortured, but now he is even plotting against the Koreans!"

What kind of armed Korean volunteers? They just want to use them to cause chaos to the Japanese and American coalition forces! China is not very interested in occupying the Korean Peninsula. In the heart, many people below Zhu Bin are very tired of these capricious villains.

.

Unlike the hatred of Japanese Japanese slaves, Korea has never performed well in history. Although Goguryeo in the Sui and Tang Dynasties is not the same as today's Bangzi, their style has been successfully passed down. They are really a group of people who don't know.

You are a grateful bastard, you eat and use it, but you never say good things to you. When you are bullied by Japan, you come to complain. When China takes action to rescue them, you fall out and refuse to admit it. They are a bunch of scum and are not a thing!

For such a nation, Zhu Bin wished that they would fight with the Japanese and both sides would suffer. It would be best if they were finished together.

In the past, Japan was powerful, but the Koreans did not have the courage or ability. Now that Japan is finished, they will be more courageous. Of course, Zhu Bin will not let go of a good opportunity and let them go dog-eat-dog!

The whole world seems to be moving towards the illusion of peace. With the unprecedented disaster in Japan, a glimmer of light has temporarily emerged. However, the intensity of the undercurrent is growing day by day! In Europe, Hitler, who had been bombing with the air force for half a year but failed to defeat the British, felt a little bit.
