Great time travel

Chapter 90, The Day WWII Ended

In the early morning of October [-], [-], in Tokyo Bay, the "Interim Government of Japan" stationed by the U.S. military, Yokohama Port

In the early morning, the sky had not yet fully brightened, and in the mist that had begun to take on a chill, the foreign minister and acting prime minister of the "Interim Government of Japan" Kijuro Kishihara, who was wearing a black dress, and Renya Mutaguchi, the minister of land, who was wearing a brown woolen military uniform, Nagumo Tadaichi, the Prime Minister of the Sea, who was wearing a white military uniform, and his party went out with a stern expression and boarded a US military truck.Then, in an atmosphere of silence, the truck drove slowly along the empty street full of bomb craters, heading for the dock not far away.On the pier, this "Japanese government delegation", which actually did not represent Japan at all, boarded a U.S. torpedo boat without saying a word, preparing to cross Tokyo Bay and go to the site of the "Japan's unconditional surrender" ceremony in Yokosuka.

Under the cover of mist, this short voyage was finally smooth, without being harassed by the Kansai "Red Japan" bomber group.But the Japanese representatives on the torpedo boat were still pale and speechless... After all, there are very few people in this world who can maintain a good mood when they surrender.Even if there are really a few heartless guys, looking at the expressions of the people around them who are seriously in debt, they can only follow the crowd and keep their mouths shut.

The small torpedo boat sailed through the empty bay, and the shadow of the ship was almost invisible on the surrounding water, which made people feel chilly—as the capital of the Japanese empire, Tokyo Bay before the war can be said to be one of the busiest sea areas in East Asia .All day long, merchant ships and fishing boats come and go.However, after being occupied by the U.S. military for nearly a year, Tokyo Bay at this time is dead silent, and only U.S. warships and transport fleets occasionally break the silence of the sea.

There was no words along the way, as the fog on the sea surface was dispelled by the gradually rising sun, the torpedo boat also arrived at Yokosuka on the Chiba Peninsula on the opposite bank.The Japanese delegation headed by Kijuro Kishihara silently jumped off the side of the ship, boarded a jeep arranged by the US military, and headed straight for the venue.

——In fact, they were not embarrassed because they had to sign the surrender agreement, but because they could not represent Japan at all, and the agreement was pure waste paper.Thinking about the possible evaluation of this matter in the history books in the future, they feel ashamed to be reduced to clowns and actors.

The Japanese unconditional surrender ceremony hastily arranged by the US military initially caused disputes over the choice of venue.The army believed that the Japanese surrender ceremony should be held on land, while the navy insisted that it should be done on a warship.However, due to the Japanese army's "aircraft sea" offensive, the air supremacy along the coast of Tokyo Bay can no longer be guaranteed, and the current U.S. Navy dare not drive large ships such as battleships and aircraft carriers into Tokyo Bay.In addition, Admiral Halsey was too disappointing and buried half of the Pacific Fleet in the typhoon, so in the end the army won the victory.

At this time, at the venue of the surrender ceremony, a large auditorium in the Yokosuka tutelary fort, the US military officers and soldiers have tried their best to dress up.

A sparkling crystal chandelier was temporarily installed on the ceiling, wrapped with colorful ribbons and wild grape vines.Rows of freshly felled pine branches line the walls, hiding stains and bullet holes in the auditorium walls while also providing a vibrant color and fragrance.Brightly colored flags hung high above the walls, deftly hiding glass windows shattered by airstrikes.The representatives of the Allied forces were full of air, their sabers were shining, their spurs were clanging, and their chests were covered with dazzling military medals.The military band in the corner also put on a full suit, polished its instruments, and played cheerful pop music in the time before the ceremony, trying to create a relaxed, cheerful, confident and heroic atmosphere as much as possible.

——Although this kind of behavior is really fake...as if they have really conquered Japan.

With the arrival of the Japanese delegation, the music in the auditorium stopped.Under the contemptuous gaze of the generals of the American and British Allied Forces, Kijuro Kijuro, Renya Mutaguchi, Tadaichi Nagumo and others walked in with their heads down, walking with heavy steps, with humble expressions on their faces.After saluting the Allied officers, the Japanese government delegation stood respectfully in the designated position, with hands hanging down and expressionless face.

Moments later, the band began to play the American national anthem.After the chaplain prayed, Secretary of State Hull, who came to preside over the ceremony, stood in front of a bank of microphones and delivered a short but persuasive speech with tact, recalling the bloodshed and killings of the past few years, and denouncing the Soviet Bolsheviks' commitment to freedom. The latest threat posed by the world, and finally, to applause, he concluded: "... Here, it is my most fervent hope that after this solemn ceremony, the standard of justice and victory will be established, and we will To usher in a new era of greater peace and greater preservation of human dignity..."

After the Secretary of State finished his speech, the voice of the master of ceremonies of the surrender ceremony came from the loudspeaker on the wall: "The signing of the Japanese plenipotentiary begins."

Therefore, Kijuro Coinhara first signed on behalf of the Japanese government.Then, Renya Mutaguchi and Tadaichi Nagumo also signed on behalf of the Japanese army and navy, expressing their agreement to transfer all power in Japan to the US government representing the righteous people of the world.After these losers finished signing and went down to rest, Secretary of State Hull signed on behalf of the US government, and General Patton also signed on behalf of the US military stationed in Japan.Next, representatives from Britain, Canada, New Zealand, the Australian government-in-exile, Brazil, Free France, etc. all signed the Japanese surrender document one by one.

——It seems to be serious, but in fact it is the Yankee drinking at the player's house... At the same time as this Japanese surrender document was signed, the "Red Japan" supported by the Soviet Union had already broken through the Fujikawa line of defense from the west, and on the northern line. Recovered Sendai, an important town in the northeast. The 50 U.S. troops stationed in Japan were beaten to pieces, and even the Tokyo area was almost unstoppable. The Pentagon has even begun to formally discuss the necessity of withdrawing from Japan.

The so-called "pretend to be stupid" and "let's all act together" are probably describing the scene in front of us.

However, in order to boost the extremely low morale of the people in the country, even if they know they are lying to themselves, they can only bite the bullet and do so.

So, watching the representatives of the allied countries solemnly sign the worthless Japanese surrender document one by one, and then dry the document, bind it, apply sealing wax, and finally lock it in the safe and carry it away, Secretary of State Hull could only helplessly shake his head and smile bitterly.

——In any case, at least from a legal point of view, the Second World War has finally drawn its final curtain... However, as to whether the future will usher in a more peaceful and beautiful new era, I am afraid that even Even the most optimistic people dare not have such extravagant hopes.

Indeed, for the war-torn people of the world, an old era has come to an end and a new era has begun.

However, in Hull's eyes, there is still no light in this new era that is about to usher in, only endless blood and darkness.

——The war between the Axis powers and the Allies ended with the complete destruction of the Axis powers.However, the war between the capitalist camp and the socialist camp has begun long before that.The whole world was torn in two by the burning wall of fire. Both sides invested all new weapons including atomic bombs. Hundreds of nationalities and tens of millions of soldiers raised their battle flags to kill each other. Human civilization was almost pushed to destruction. swirl!
Faced with such a terrifying prospect, although the United States of America is still clenching its teeth, it is also beating a drum in its heart.

After all, on the stage of war, which gathers the essence of all human materials and talents, the situation is like a swift wind and flowing water, with infinite changes.No one has ever been able to become an eternal victor, but the fate of the losers is mostly doomed—in fact, the U.S. government doesn’t want to fight anymore, although it is still shouting "Manifest Destiny" and "Anglo The eternal throne of the Saxon nation”, but in fact, every high-ranking person in the United States knows that the ambition to take over the crown of earth hegemony from the British Empire has been proved to be a dream by a series of fiascos.It is God's blessing that the United States can generally maintain the status quo, and even withdraw from the war at a relatively low cost!However, neither the White House nor Wall Street can bear the price of defeat at all. The most serious consequences may even lead to the disintegration of the country!So even if it is drinking poison to quench thirst, the United States can only continue to drink this cup of poison called war, but at the same time, it has not forgotten to quietly test the conditions of the armistice with the Soviets.

The global nuclear strike war some time ago, and the current Japanese surrender ceremony, which is purely self-deceiving, are in essence nothing more than a step created by the Americans in order to withdraw from the war with dignity.It's just hard in one hand and soft in the other.The former is to show that the United States is far from collapsing, and still has strong war power. It is not a lamb to be slaughtered. It can overturn the table and throw nuclear bombs at any time, knocking over all pots and pans—although the current atomic bombs in the United States are not There are many, but you have to pretend to be a lavish posture of "I have nuclear bombs in my pocket" to blackmail the opponent: the more guilty you are ready to admit defeat, the tougher you have to be in face, even maddened, otherwise you won't be able to speak human reason.

For example, why are those terrorist organizations in later generations so brutal and bloodthirsty?So insane?Digging out people’s hearts, playing with burning at the stake, plus skinning, gouging out eyes and tongues, etc., and recording them as souvenirs and posting them on the Internet... Really think they are all Jack the Ripper or Hannibal the cannibal doctor ah?Fundamentally speaking, isn't this just to deceive the eyeballs and grab the click-through rate, so as to make a name for yourself? !Otherwise, with the hundreds of people and dozens of guns of those terrorist organizations, the number of people is not as good as that of some large pyramid schemes. Which government will have the patience to talk to them?
——Ordinary people want to be famous, they have to be unique and malicious, and small organizations want to make big news, they can only play terrorist attacks.

As for the latter, the White House wanted to put on a gesture of willingness to solve the problem peacefully, saying that the US government is not a militaristic and arrogant person, but is willing to share the world equally with the Soviet Union, coexist and co-prosper—— behind all kinds of under-the-table Conspiracies and tricks are another matter!
If the Soviets really intend to restore peace, they should take advantage of the situation and participate in the aftermath of the World War II armistice advocated by the United States—of course, it may be a more drastic method such as protests and warnings, reminding the United States not to forget the Soviet Union Interests.But in any case, as long as the Soviets can be brought to the negotiating table, it is considered a great success: in this case, although in order to divide the sphere of influence, there will inevitably be many armed conflicts, and even local wars, but at least the whole world The general trend will slowly develop in the direction of relaxation.

I believe that the American diplomats in the embassy in the Soviet Union should be able to accurately convey this meaning.But... I just don't know if the steel man in the Kremlin is willing to take over this olive branch with nuclear radiation from the White House... Secretary of State Hull thought faintly.

After the signing ceremony was over, the atmosphere in the auditorium quickly relaxed.The officers no longer kept their faces straight, but took out their cigarettes and pipes, lit them and started smoking.The military band also no longer played the serious national anthem and military anthem, but replaced it with brisk pop jazz.

——According to the arrangement of the US military, there will be banquets and dances all night long, as a rare relaxation between gunpowder and bombs.

The soldiers serving as waiters filed in immediately, and set up long tables covered with white linen in the auditorium. There are as many excellent dishes as possible, ranging from Western-style cakes, oysters and steaks, to Japanese-style tempura and sushi rolls.A variety of famous wines are also available, ranging from champagne to vodka.

What's even more rare is that after the delicious food and wine were served, a large group of Yingying and Yanyan emerged on the venue immediately—they were girls belonging to the Women's Auxiliary Corps of the Marine Corps, and they came to the Japanese frontline on a hospital ship to work as nurses. Now it's time to put on a beautiful dress for the dance.These girls are all under 20 years old, youthful and lively, with beautiful looks, and immediately caused an uproar among the frontline soldiers who have been holding back for a long time.

All of a sudden, those young officers were all out of their minds, and tried their best to court these girls. Their attack power was enough to destroy the most proud ladies of famous families in the country—no way, on the battlefield where there is no shortage, The stocks of local girls are worth such a high price.

Even those old military officers and politicians all showed smiles, so as not to spoil the atmosphere and throw cold water on everyone.

Of course, there are also people here who are completely uninterested in music and girls.For example, Kijuro Kijuro and Chuichi Nagumo, who just signed a waste paper agreement like clowns, curled up on the sofa in the corner with sad faces, drinking one cup after another, and no one paid any attention to them.On the contrary, Renya Mutaguchi, the "ghost general" who has always been known for his heartlessness and shamelessness, is looking for girls everywhere to invite dancers with great interest.

At this time, this handsome Japanese general was standing on the dance floor. Opposite him was a beautifully dressed American girl. The strap fluttered across her chest, and there were a few fake flowers made of silk in her black hair.The tutu skirt was stretched out, revealing a pair of slender calves underneath.The upper body of the long dress is off-the-shoulder, and the collarbone, shoulders and neck are all visible at a glance, and the delicate ruffles reveal a faint touch of sex, which looks infinitely charming.In the entire venue, she can be regarded as one of the most coquettish beauties.

The only regret is... the girl dancing with General Mutaguchi Renya is black.

Well, that's right, a black girl nurse from the Women's Auxiliary Marine Corps.

And she was a big black girl who was a full head taller than General Mutaguchi Renya.

There is no way, although the organizers of the dance party have tried their best, but the current venue is still more men than women, more wolves and less meat.Behind every beautiful white girl, there are at least a few suitors who are trying hard to flatter and show courteousness. Naturally, it is difficult to see the Japanese as losers.Rao is General Mutaguchi Lianya who has always had good skills in flirting with girls, as well as fluent English, and tried his best, but he was unable to invite any white girls, only one black girl who was also not doing well. Girl, it was probably out of curiosity that she was willing to condescend to dance with him...

——Just as the "Ghost General" Renya Mutaguchi was dancing with a helpless smile in his arms around a large black girl, Admiral Patton, the commander of the occupation forces stationed in Japan, left the venue with an excuse and came to the side In an office of his, he discussed some more ghostly things with his subordinates.

"...How is the atomic bomb planted in downtown Yokohama? Hasn't it been discovered by the local aborigines?"

Looking at the map of Yokohama spread out on the table, and the red cross on it indicating the site where the atomic bomb was buried, General Patton asked casually.

"...everything is going well, General! We've cleaned up any natives who saw something they shouldn't have seen."

Beside him, a senior agent of the Bureau of Strategic Services (the predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency) replied respectfully, "...the atomic bomb has been secretly installed in the basement of the Bank of Yokohama headquarters, and the guards, engineers and agents in charge It has also been arranged, absolutely not afraid of any sneak attack by guerrillas. Once the Japanese army invades the urban area, they will activate the timed fuze and evacuate..."

Hearing this, General Patton nodded.To be honest, he didn't want this self-destruction tactic.But the problem is that at present, the U.S. military has basically lost its air supremacy on the Japanese battlefield, and even its own occupied areas are bombed twice in three days, and the bombing of the enemy's territory has been forced to stop for a long time.If the bomber group carrying the atomic bomb was intercepted halfway, causing the atomic bomb to be thrown into some barren mountains, it would be a huge loss.

Of course, if the atomic bomb falls into the hands of the enemy or is even thrown back, it will not only be a loss, but an unprecedented catastrophe.

"...Then, is the timing fuze of the atomic bomb reliable? Is there any problem with the person responsible for starting the timing?" Patton asked, "...I am very worried that after they withdraw, the atomic bomb will be captured by the enemy before it explodes and be taken away." Deciphering—bomb disposal, the Japanese are also very good at it.”

"... Such a situation will not happen, General." The senior agent of the Strategic Service Bureau replied confidently.

"...Are you sure?" Barton blinked curiously.

"...Yes, I'm sure, because the timed fuze we installed on the atomic bomb is just a decoration, and it won't count down. As long as you press the time setting button, it will explode directly. Therefore, the young man who performed the mission would just blow himself up and die for his country , will not leave the atomic bomb to the enemy..."

"..." General Patton's expression was very strange for a while, and he said after a while, "...well, this is also a necessary price. The United States will remember their sacrifice and dedication... However, when the atomic bomb is detonated, you must Be cautious, there must be a clear order from me..."

Just as he was giving such orders, the door of this office was suddenly pushed open. The next moment, Mr. Hull, the Secretary of State, barged in with an extremely ugly face, and handed a telegram to Patton without caring about the pleasantries. , "... Please take a look! There is really no worse news than this - the latest telegram from the country, the Soviets officially declared war on us today! These damned Bolsheviks!"

——In this doomed time and space dominated by the God of War, the bloody river of World War II ended, and the even more tragic World War III began...
