The signature of the Republic of Japan appeared briefly after the Tokyo Revolution in 1923, but soon disappeared with the victory of the Japanese civil war. This time, the Republic of Japan was relisted by Nishizoji Kokoro, who joined the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association, as the Prime Minister of the Provisional Government. Chang Ruiqing was basically satisfied with this candidate for the interim prime minister, but he was not very relieved. Nishizokororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororos. The prestige of Nishizokororororos should be enough, at least among non-Japanese party members, he is the first brand. However, everyone knows that Nishizokoro is unwilling to be the destruction of Japan. The reason why he was willing to serve as the Prime Minister of this interim government was that in addition to trying to make the Japanese people suffer less and retain more vitality, he probably still had a slight fantasy of fighting for independence for the Japanese nation?

Thinking of this, Chang Ruiqing nodded to Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhen and said, "Mr. Baili, Youlin, I agree in principle, and the official order will be signed tomorrow. Also... Nuclear fission bombs are particularly powerful strategic weapons and must be managed very strictly. From now on, the order to use nuclear fission bombs can only be issued by the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. In addition, a special command must be established to uniformly manage nuclear fission bombs and long-range heavy bombers for deploying nuclear fission bombs. The name of the command is tentatively designated as the Strategic Air Force Command, and the first commander-in-chief is appointed by Lieutenant General Shi Jianfei. Youlin, go and discuss with Yang Tie'an and formulate a plan to establish a strategic air force." He pointed to the dim sky outside and smiled and said, "It's getting late, and you two should go back and rest early."

As he said that, he and Sun Yuexun sent Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhen out of the official residence building. After seeing them off, he slowly walked in the official residence garden with his hands behind his back. Sun Yuexun followed him, and the two of them silently walked along a path in the garden to an artificial lake. Although it was early spring now, there were still some thin ice floating on the pond water, and several half-dead lotus leaves.

"Xiaomei, what do you think of Mr. Nishiyuanji?"

Sun Yuexun was looking at the lotus leaves in the pond, and suddenly heard Chang Ruiqing's question and quickly calmed down. This was a difficult question to answer. As the chairman of the Greater East Asia Co-Enjoy Association, she needed to use the prestige of Nishizoji Temple to open up the situation in Japan. At the same time, she was a little worried that Nishizoji Temple should use the position of Prime Minister of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Japan to "make independence" (Japanese independence? In fact, the Republic of Japan is still an independent country in theory).

"Shinoceros Temple Gong Wang is very unreliable." Sun Yuexun always answered Chang Ruiqing's question truthfully. "But we can only use him to maintain the situation in the occupied area, and the other Ischia tribe masters in the Kyoyo Association are not much more reliable than Nischiaki... Kitaichi, Okamura Yasuji, Okawa Shuami all have a quarrel. As long as Tokuda Koichi is still reliable, he is a Ryukyu. He is not a real Ischia."

Chang Ruiqing nodded slightly. Obviously he was very satisfied with Sun Yuexun's frank attitude: "Xiaomei, I also know that Nishiyuan Temple is not reliable, but I am not worried that he will do something else on my back. In fact, we should give the Japanese people a different choice, what do you think?"

"Sir, I mean..." Sun Yuexun looked at Chang Ruiqing in confusion. She didn't think the other party was testing her loyalty because it was unnecessary.

"There should be different choices," Chang Ruiqing turned toward the official residence building: "The rules of the Greater China Federation cannot be broken. The Republic of Japan cannot be forced to join. The referendum procedure must be taken... But there are only two options. First, the Republic of Japan joins the Greater China Federation and becomes one of the federal subjects. All citizens of the Republic of Japan will automatically become citizens of the Greater China Federation; second, the Republic of Japan maintains independence, but must bear the responsibility for defeat and pay huge war compensation to China, the United States, Britain and other countries. The Chinese Defense Forces will continue to occupy the local area, and the cost of the garrison will be borne by Japan."

After hearing the two proposals proposed by Chang Ruiqing, Sun Yuexun sighed softly, and the last trace of worry on her face disappeared without a trace. In fact, maintaining Japan's complete independence is no longer under the consideration of any responsible Japanese (Horites) politician. Because Japan cannot bear the responsibility for defeat at all, the United States' peace plan for the Soviet Union now includes a huge war compensation of 100 billion US dollars! And Japan's responsibility in this world war is definitely not smaller than that of the Soviet Union. If you want to pay money, it will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, right? Japan has so much money.

How can I afford to pay? I'm afraid that just paying interest can make tens of millions of Japanese get up early and work late for a year! And the local area is still occupied by the Chinese, and most of the governments must obey China. Isn't this equivalent to turning all Japanese into slaves to China? Therefore, the current calculations of Japanese (Waterite) politicians, including Nishimotoji, turn Japan into a self-dominated territory, hang it under the Greater China Federation, use the Chinese as a shield to lose the responsibility for defeat and recuperate. As long as the vitality of the Japanese nation is preserved, there is no fear of no chance of revival in the distant future.

Chang Ruiqing's tone was firm and serious: "I called the Nishiyuanji master and told them that the Japanese now have only two choices, either join the Greater China Federation completely and become a citizen of the Federation, or be prepared to take the responsibility of defeat and be a slave for decades before talking about it!"

"Yes." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Sun Yuexun's mouth. She couldn't understand the Japanese's minds very well. Although they were a little stubborn, they were not stupid. They definitely knew what choice would be the most beneficial to them.

"Tell Nishiyuanji Gongwang that after the National Defense Forces completely control the major cities of Kyushu, I will go to Kyushu in person to inspect and discuss with him the referendum issue of Japan's participation in the Greater China Federation of the Republic of Japan."

"yes."

...

With a long whistle, a strange-looking train drove into the Xiawujinsk Railway Station in Siberia. The train was covered with riveted armored steel plates from beginning to end. There were two steam locomotives with thick smoke in front and back. There were several semi-spherical steel armored turrets on the roof, and all the 75mm anti-tank guns were extended. There were firing holes on the side of the carriage, 20mm machine guns, and 12.7mm heavy machine guns were extended.

After coming out, it turned out that this was an extremely powerful armored train. Now the Siberian Railway is the logistics lifeline of more than one million national defense forces on the Siberian front and almost the same number of reserve troops. It is naturally also the main target of the Soviet guerrillas. In order to ensure the smoothness of the railway line, the Siberian Front and the Northern Front are equipped with armored train troops. There are hundreds of such iron-armored monster-like trains patrol the Siberian Railway.

However, this armored train seemed to be carrying out the task of escorting people. The platform of Xiawujinsk Railway Station was covered with live ammunition military police, and the officers of the Siberian Front who came to greet him. Most of the eyes were attracted by the armored train. Only Guo Songling stood there calmly and reservedly. If he paid close attention to his face, he could find a hint of anxiety behind this calm appearance. The Siberian Front's combat plan for the strong attack on Krasnoyarsk at the beginning of the year was rejected by the General Staff, just when the Front Command believed that the Siberian battlefield in 1936 would continue to remain "calm". The General Staff sent him another secret message to inform him that the Commander of the Strategic Air Force Lieutenant General Shi Jianfei, who came to Xiawujinsk with the combat plan to assist the Siberian Front in capturing Krasnoyarsk. What is the service of this strategic air force?

How could a lieutenant general of the air force know how to attack the fortress with Shi Jianfei? And it is a solid fortress like an iron hedgehog like Krasnoyarsk, with firepower on land and air. The fortifications are extremely strong, with a radius of more than ten kilometers around, and the defenders have more than 500,000! There is only one way to capture such a fortress, which is to fill it with human lives and bomb it with countless artillery bombs. However, the Siberian Front now does not have enough lives and cannons, and the air force in the direction of Siberia is far from enough. It is impossible to capture the fortress with existing forces! He waited for Shi Jianfei to get off the car with a stern face, preparing to argue with the representative sent by the base camp. In any case, the Siberian Front must significantly strengthen the Siberian Front, otherwise he should not take any action to attack the Krasnoyarsk Fortress, in order to avoid futility!

The armored train slowly approached the platform. After a long hissing. On the steam-rolling platform, Shi Jianfei was seen wearing a straight air force general uniform and walking down with a group of entourages. At the end, there were several captains and lieutenants, carrying a few small boxes that seemed to be made of iron. Shi Jianfei respectfully saluted Guo Songling, and the latter also saluted him with a light smile, saying, "I finally waited for you, by the way... Brother Jianfei, why don't you take the plane and take the armored train instead? Are you worried that the plane is not safe enough?"

When Shi Jianfei heard Guo Songling's words, he nodded and admitted, "Mao Shuai, I've really guessed it for you. I just worried that the plane was not safe enough, so I changed to an armored train. But it's not that I'm afraid of falling off the plane." As he said that, he pointed to the "iron boxes" and said, "But the things in those boxes are really important, and there can't be any mistakes."

Guo Songling was stunned, as if he suddenly thought of something, blurted out: "Brother Jian Fei, isn't your strategic air force used to throw that special bomb?"

Shi Jianfei looked around and nodded seriously, and immediately made Guo Songling's face show a surprise expression. During this period, the Siberian Front Command had received a lot of reports on the "nuclear fission bomb" situation, knowing that the power of this secret weapon is amazing.

He immediately pulled Shi Jianfei's hand and asked, "Jianfei, are those iron boxes filled with nuclear fission bombs? This bomb is so small?"

Shi Jianfei smiled and waved his hand, lowered his voice and said, "Mao Shuai, of course, this is not a nuclear fission bomb. As for what it is, I really can't say. By the way, is the base ready for our strategic air force? It must be absolutely safe and not be harassed by guerrillas. There must be sufficient air defense firepower around it."

In fact, the "iron box" mentioned by Guo Songling is not made of iron, but several lead boxes. Each lead box stores a kilogram of weapon-grade plutonium-239 that is processed into a special shape. For safety reasons during transportation, the three atomic bombs prepared for bombing Krasnoyarsk will not be transported in whole, but will be dismantled and dried parts will be transported separately. The most important of these is the high-concentration plutonium-239 that is used as a charge is transported to the front line in batches. The plutonium-239 transported in each batch will not exceed 3 kilograms, and it is not allowed to be transported by aircraft, and can only be transported by armored trains through railway lines. This time, Shi Jianfei personally escorted the first weapon-grade plutonium-239 transported to Xiawujinsk.

While speaking, the two of them took the lead on board the waiting car. The officer carrying the lead box containing plutonium-239 was on the tracked armored personnel carrier provided by the Siberian Front Command, and under the armed escort of a large number of defense troops to a heavily guarded air force base outside Xiawujinsk.

The arrival of Shi Jianfei is equivalent to sounding the clarion call of this terrifying nuclear war in time and space! And it is different in history. Now both China and Germany are preparing to use the atomic bomb directly on the battlefield where the two armies confront each other!

...

"Nuclear bomb, how powerful is this nuclear bomb..." All the staff of the Siberian Front and the Strategy Air Force were surrounded in front of the lenient combat map platform and discussed it, and everyone was in a difficult position. Although there were three nuclear fission bombs to help, the task of capturing the Krasnoyarsk Fortress was not as easy as expected.

The first problem encountered is that except for Shi Jianfei, all officers and staff officers, have not witnessed the power of the nuclear fission bomb explosion, and can only analyze it based on a bunch of data.

Secondly, no one has the experience of using nuclear fission bombs to fight. After all, there is always a process of continuous exploration to transform a new weapon into combat power... And in another time and space, Americans initially used atomic bombs as strategic weapons to bomb Japanese cities. Nowadays, atomic bombs should be used as tactical weapons, which involves the problem of cooperation and coordination between the strategic air force, the air force, and the army ground forces.

The third is nuclear radiation. According to the information provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs, after the nuclear fission bomb explodes, a terrible substance called "nuclear radiation" will be released, which is said to cause any organism infected with nuclear radiation to suffer from fatal diseases! Moreover, the "kill range" of nuclear radiation is much larger than the kill range of shock waves generated by the nuclear fission bomb explosion. What is even more troublesome is that this kind of damage called "radioactive pollution" will exist at the site of the nuclear fission bomb explosion and its surrounding areas for a considerable period of time. It will even cause damage to the attacking Chinese army.

The fourth problem is that the destructive power of the nuclear fission bomb is not as powerful as everyone originally thought. It is not a nuclear fission bomb that can be dropped. The Krasnoyarsk Fortress will explode! In fact, the nuclear fission bomb only has destructive lethality to targets on the surface, and has very limited lethality to targets underground or in bunkers, and its killing range is not large. It will only cause destructive damage to surface targets within a radius of several kilometers.

"So, three nuclear fission bombs cover at most Soviet positions with a radius of more than ten kilometers, and they cannot guarantee that all the enemies will be killed, and even most of them may not be able to be killed. At most, they can only kill a small part of the Soviet army, and make most of the Soviet troops within the range of radioactive pollution sick... Do we have to throw three nuclear fission bombs and then wait for all the Soviets in the Krasnoyarsk Fortress to die of illness? It would be too incredible to fight like this?"

"It's not an incredible problem, but the Soviets will send new troops to the Krasnoyarsk Fortress to replace the sick troops! And we don't know when the Soviet officers and soldiers who are infected with radioactive pollution will die of illness? If they die in three to five years, can we wait in a hurry? Therefore, it is inevitable to conquer the Krasnoyarsk Fortress. Now we have to determine the best time to attack."

"The data says that the soil and water sources in the nuclear explosion area are toxic, so you must be extremely cautious when entering the nuclear explosion area to avoid contamination of radioactive pollutants... But what should we do? It is impossible for ground troops to attack without touching soil and water sources! What kind of way should we fight this battle? Otherwise, don't throw this nuclear fission bomb, just use infantry attacks!"

"Aren't there more people who die like that? The Krasnoyarsk Fortress has been operated by the Soviet army for many years. The core of the fortress is covered with reinforced concrete fortresses, and is surrounded by large areas of fortification. The weapons, ammunition and supplies are also very abundant, enough for 500,000 Soviet troops to maintain it for several years. If the nuclear fission bomb is not used and infantry attacks are used, there will be no way to take Krasnoyarsk without hundreds of thousands of casualties."

"Yes, I don't think we have to think about radioactive pollution. How can we not die in war? Even if we pay 200,000 casualties for this Krasnoyarsk Fortress!"

It is obvious that it is impossible to blow the Krasnoyarsk Fortress and 500,000 Soviet defenders into powder with three nuclear fission bombs, so large-scale infantry attacks and casualties are still inevitable. The staff of the Army and Strategic Air Force finally reached an agreement on this issue, preparing to sacrifice the lives or health of 200,000 people to capture the Krasnoyarsk Fortress. Everyone's eyes were on Guo Songling, the marshal was sitting there looking at the map, with a hint of unconcealed smile in his expression, as if he had already made up his mind to the future Krasnoyarsk Fortress.
