    Thinking of a lot of problems, Chang Ruiqing sighed, put down the report in his hand, and looked solemnly around the room of civil and military officials.

    "You all already know what happened in Java and Sumatra. Tens of millions of people in a nation were wiped out by them like this. It's really outrageous. No matter the culprits or subordinates, they must be punished as they deserve."

    ¡°When it comes to the number of people killed in this world war, the Chinese National Defense Force probably ranks first!  The number of citizens of the Soviet Union, Japan, India and other countries who were killed directly or indirectly by the Chinese Communist Party has long exceeded 10 million, and I am afraid it is almost 20 to 30 million.  But those people either died on the battlefield, in bombings, or in famine.  Although there are such blatant massacres in Java and Sumatra, they all occur sporadically and are not organized or premeditated genocide.  Of course, the impact cannot be compared with the massacres in Java and Sumatra.

    ¡°The massacre is still being kept under wraps. It was only reported by the intelligence agency. The Federation of Greater China and the news media around the world still know nothing about it.  But if you think about it with your buttocks, you can understand how much verbal and verbal criticism there will be at home and abroad after this news is revealed.  And everyone's eyes will be fixed on Chang Ruiqing's federal government to see how they will deal with the Japanese or He tribesmen who committed crimes.

    "But the problem now is that what is before us is not only the executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of the indigenous people of Java and Sumatra, but also many ordinary people and tribesmen who did not participate in the massacre but benefited from it. To some extent, they should  He can be regarded as an accomplice, or it can be said that he is a murderer who committed heinous crimes for their benefit"

    Chang Ruiqing waved his hand, and Yamaguchi Yoshiko handed over the secret telegram on his desk from the Nanyang Front Army Commander Wang Junhao to everyone. The content of the secret telegram was that representatives of the Japanese army from Java Island and Sumatra Island secretly arrived in Singapore and proposed conditional surrender.  .

    "The first of the Japanese surrender conditions is to ensure the safety of life and property of more than 7 million Japanese soldiers and civilians on Java and Sumatra. Recognize the validity of the land ownership certificates issued by the Nanyang Federal Government and the Japanese Soviet Government. You know this  What does that mean?"

    Chang Ruiqing shook his head: "I killed the whole family and took possession of their property. Now we are asked to endorse it. This matter is not easy to handle"

    ?We all know why it is difficult to handle.  Of course, it involves the conflicts between the various ethnic groups within the Federation of Greater China, especially the conflicts between the indigenous peoples of Nanyang and the Han and He ethnic groups in the north. Of course, there are also conflicts between the Han and Tonghe ethnic groups.  Although on the surface this time, the He clan killed the Java clan, in fact the issues involved were very complicated.

    "Everyone knows the situation of the Nanyang indigenous people in our federation. Their economic and political status is actually the lowest. Although they are nominally equal to the Han and He people, they are actually an inferior nation."

    Chang Ruiqing was telling the truth this time. The progress of the integration of the Nanyang indigenous people into the Federation was not ideal. No matter in terms of appearance, language, living habits or thinking patterns, they were far from the Han and Korean tribes in the north.  .  Even the passport of the Federation of Greater China does not indicate ethnicity.  The natives of Nanyang can still be distinguished at a glance.

    What is even more troubling is that the way of thinking and attitude towards life and wealth of the Nanyang indigenous people are completely different from the "northern ethnic groups" of the Federation such as the Han, He, Korean and other ethnic groups.  Although there are certain differences in language and culture between the Han and Korean ethnic groups, they all belong to the kind of ethnic groups that work hard to get rich and advocate struggle. Therefore, they can be lured and benefited to promote the integration of the He and Korean ethnic groups into China.  However, the temperament of the Nanyang natives is quite different, and they are a bit muddled.  The vast majority of them are not very interested in getting rich, studying, joining the army, or working in politics, and they are not willing to work hard for these life goals.  Otherwise it would be past the colonial era.  There wouldn't be so many rich Chinese people in Nanyang. It was really because the natives there were so incompetent that they gave the foreign Chinese a chance to show their strength.

    Moreover, these Nanyang natives, who are economically and politically disadvantaged, do not find fault with themselves. They often blame foreigners and Chinese as the cause of their poverty. Anti-Chinese incidents occurred from time to time before the Federation of Greater China ruled Nanyang. Now,  We no longer dare to exclude China, but there are still a group of uncooperative upper-class Nanyang indigenous people who clamor for independence and the interests of the indigenous people.  When the news of the murders in Java and Sumatra spreads, who knows what they will yell about?

    So how to deal with the Japanese on Java and Sumatra this time is a bit of a headache.

    "Prime Minister, this murder is actually beneficial to us. It would be better to kill those people if we keep them!"

    The person who spoke was Huang Baopei. He has been in Nanyang for more than ten years. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Nanyang Tong.  Hear his amazingAfter saying this, Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly and nodded: "Everything always has two sides. But the problem now is how to level this bowl of water. We cannot let Indochina, Myanmar, Malaya, and Siam  Politicians in Luo and the Philippines say that we protect the He people and that we kill people with a borrowed knife!"

    Everyone nodded, this is natural, things must be done to save face, otherwise the Greater China Federation will create a "north-south gap".  However, it is not easy to level this bowl of water. After all, assimilation and ethnic integration are the most critical steps to promote the unification of the Greater East Asia Federation.

    Although the Minister of National Education Sun Yuexun has submitted her resignation, she will temporarily stay in her original position until the results of the parliamentary by-election and the election of the new chairman of the Co-Prosperity Association. As a representative of the He tribe in the federation, she always feels that she must replace the He tribe.  Speak: "Prime Minister, although the federal law is equal, discrimination exists objectively. After all, the status of the He tribe is higher than that of the Nanyang natives"

    Chang Ruiqing's tone was serious: "This does not mean that the He tribe has the right to destroy the Java tribe! The foundation of our federation is coexistence and common prosperity!" Then he stretched his eyebrows and said to Sun Yuexun: "Xiao Mei, since the Japanese nation has  When indigenous people commit crimes, they must bear corresponding responsibilities. You should first ask everyone for their opinions and how to deal with the aftermath."

    ¡­¡­

    "Chairman, did the Prime Minister really not make any demands?"

    Sun Yuexun¡¯s beautiful eyes frowned slightly, she glanced at Tuan Zhuomo who asked the question, and shook her head slightly: ¡°The incident happened suddenly, sir, maybe you didn¡¯t think about how to deal with the aftermath, right?¡±

    "Didn't you think about it? Then he still acquiesced" Zennosuke Yasuda, who had a gray beard and a chief of general staff of the National Defense Forces as his son-in-law, was naturally bold when he spoke. However, after Sun Yuexun's beautiful eyes glanced at him, he was still forced to speak.  I swallowed the second half of the sentence.

    "Mr. Prime Minister, you want to kill two birds with one stone"

    Okamura Neiji adjusted his small round glasses, his eyes flashed, and he said quietly: "I think he has never taken the Nanyang natives seriously. If it were us who went to the Prime Minister's Office to hold a sign in front of the Prime Minister's Office to demand independence,  I¡¯m afraid not even a single bone is left.¡±

    This was a heart-wrenching thing to say, but it was also true. There was silence in the room, and everyone stayed for a moment before waking up to Sun Yuexun's sigh.

    "Since Mr. Okamura knows the Prime Minister's thoughts well, please tell us how we can satisfy him." Sun Yuexun looked around at everyone: "As long as the Prime Minister is satisfied, it doesn't matter how many Nanyang natives are killed, Java Island and Sumatra  The island¡¯s land resources are not a problem, and it doesn¡¯t even matter if the culprit is allowed to go unpunished.¡±

    "I think what the Prime Minister wants most now is to take back a title." Okamura Neiji said quietly: "If we agree to hand over the title of the Republic of Japan, everything will be fine.  Discussed."

    "but¡­¡­"

    Okamura Neji changed the topic.

    "The so-called righteousness and honor. Only with this title can we have great righteousness and hope to revive the Japanese Empire in the future. If we hand over our title now, there will really be no hope for the future. Can you be willing to do so?"

    There was silence in the room again. Without the title of the Republic of Japan, of course it does not mean that Japan has no hope of independence, but the difficulty of independence will increase many times.  Because of the existence of the Republic of Japan, the Japanese archipelago is the so-called "federal subject". According to the Federal Constitution, it has the power to withdraw from the federation and become independent. The prerequisite is only a two-thirds majority vote of the Parliament of the Republic of Japan and the approval of the referendum of the Republic of Japan.  .  In addition, as long as the name "Republic of Japan" remains, the issue of Japan's independence can be brought to the table for discussion, and political parties or political organizations can be organized for the purpose of fighting for Japan's independence.  Although the possibility of eventually achieving Japanese independence is still slim, it is theoretically possible.

    But if this sign is handed over, the Japanese archipelago will become several provinces of the Republic of China.  If you want to seek independence again, there is no ready-made legal procedure to do so!  Moreover, Japan's national title will also disappear, and may even be forgotten in the long run. By then, the two nations, Han and He, will probably truly become one.

    Everyone was silent for a long time, refusing to express their opinions. Finally, Sun Yuexun was heard sighing lowly: "Apart from the status of the Republic of Japan, Han and He are truly one. Naturally, the matters on Java Island and Sumatra Island can be left alone.  Otherwise, the National Defense Force will definitely refuse the conditional surrender of the Nanyang Army (Japan), and will inevitably have to pay the price of millions of lives. Our people will not be able to obtain the land resources of Java and Sumatra Is an illusory hope of independence really possible?  Is it more important than the lives of millions of people, the most treasured island in Southeast Asia, and the oil of Sumatra combined?"
