Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "This is a long war, an arduous war. It is a huge test for both the nation and national strength.

    You are worthy of being the daughters of China and the heroes of the empire. You fought bravely and tenaciously for the motherland. Countless compatriots are proud of you.

    You are extraordinary, united and fighting side by side, this kind of friendship only exists in the fire of war.

    Brothers and Pao Ze share a bunker and support each other when they need it most.  Witnessing death together, suffering together.

    I am proud to have you brave and fearless soldiers. Only you are the most qualified and entitled to enjoy a happy and peaceful life, because peace is created with your blood.

    Memories are pouring out like rain and thoughts are flooding in. Warriors, rest in peace!  "

    In the drizzle, Chen Shao, dressed in black Hanfu, slowly walked past the tombstones one after another. Looking at the photos covered with water droplets on the inscriptions, he felt very depressed.

    They are all young, and their lives are recorded on the inscriptions.

    Every time he passed a tombstone, Chen Shao would read the inscription in detail, look at the photos, pay a solemn military salute, and put a bouquet of flowers to pray for the soul to rest in peace.

    The sky above the martyrs¡¯ mausoleum slowly reverberated with sad music, making everyone¡¯s heart feel extra heavy.

    Today is not Qingming Festival, nor is it a legal death anniversary.

    It was just Chen Shao¡¯s whim to come and see these sacrificed soldiers.  From the first tombstone to the last tombstone stretching to another hilltop, there are more than 50,000 tombstones erected here.

    ? Since before the founding of the People¡¯s Republic of China, the soldiers who died in the battle to unify China.  To this day, all the fallen soldiers are buried here one by one.

    A solemn military salute, a bouquet of flowers, and a eulogy were Chen Shao's best comfort to these soldiers who rested here forever, and to himself.

    Those retired soldiers who were discharged due to injuries and were willing to guard the graves of their comrades quietly followed Chen Shao and burst into tears as they listened to Chen Shao's eulogies one after another.

    Only now.  The one that most stirs up their memories.  Remembering the comrades who blocked each other's bullets in the smoke of gunfire, memories that will always be engraved in my heart emerge.  Play together, train together, support each other.  help each other.  They are the best brothers.  A non-brother can be better than a real brother.

    "Now that our brothers and comrades are gone, we can only remember the past here.

    A sound of brakes broke the sad atmosphere at this moment.

    Chen Fuqin, dressed in marshal uniform, walked out of the car.  He went straight to Chen Shao and others.  First, he saluted Chen Shao with a military salute, then faced the depths of the mausoleum and saluted him with a military salute, and then saluted the retired soldiers guarding the tomb with a military salute.  Then he spoke out:

    "Your Majesty, the latest situation has just been reported from the Pacific Theater Command. Japan has officially responded and accepted all our conditions. The surrender signing ceremony will be held on June 2nd. (The previous date is wrong, not September.  month, May, and then June.)¡±

    "June 2nd, that is, five days later. Well, good." Chen Shao nodded.

    In fact, Chen Shao also hopes that Japan will respond as soon as possible, because there are still many Japanese troops in Australia who are stubbornly resisting. The earlier Japan surrenders, the earlier the war in one direction will be peaceful.

    "Also, two Japanese princes have gone to Australia. The purpose is to appease the Japanese troops in Australia. After the formal surrender is signed, the troops will be restrained from surrendering to our army." Chen Fuqin did not find a quieter place to report.  Everyone is qualified to know this, or perhaps they are the most qualified to know this.

    Chen Shao did not pay attention to the current occasion. Proclaiming the message of peace here may also be the best memorial to these fallen soldiers.

    "Very good, the Japanese are quite conscious." Chen Shao nodded again.

    "However, General Xia Mengyu of the Military Intelligence Bureau has just sent U.S. intelligence to the Supreme Command." Chen Fuqin said again.

    "Hmph! Are those members of Congress in the United States not planning to surrender yet?" Chen Shao snorted coldly and expressed his dissatisfaction.

    "Yes, the U.S. Congress's vote results still show no intention of surrender." Chen Fuqin said.

    "A group of politicians who are ignorant of current affairs." Chen Shao was not too surprised by this result, because among the conditions Chen Shao gave the United States, there was one condition that forced the United States to bear an extremely heavy debt.

    This is a huge financial debt, so big that it will give the United States no chance of recovery for decades to come.

    The amount of compensation given by Chen Shao is also very simple. He just multiplies the sum of all the money China has spent since it entered the war.?10.

    ¡° Even if the United States still has some financial resources, it is difficult to bear such debt.  Therefore, Chen Shao was not too surprised by the United States' refusal to surrender.

    However, Chen Shao never meant to change these conditions.  If the United States does not surrender, Chen Shao will fight until the United States has to surrender and make the United States feel that if it does not surrender, the losses will be greater. Then the United States will naturally have no reason to reject the conditions here.

    "Let Wang Yunshan start preparing to execute the final strike plan. There is no need for us to wait any longer. We can defeat the last belief of the United States at once and let them know that hope does not exist and surrender is their god. Every day that is delayed, as far away as Alaska  If there is an army number, some soldiers will die. End this war as soon as possible!" Looking at the tombstone deep in the drizzle, Chen Shao calmly issued an order full of boundless killing intent.

    Chen Fuqin was shocked. He knew exactly what would happen once this order was conveyed to Wang Yunshan. As long as Chen Shao's box was unlocked, Americans would truly understand what death is.  However, when he saw the tombstones one after another, he didn't say anything. Instead, he answered loudly and forcefully: "Yes." Then he turned and left.

    Listening to the sound of cars going away, Chen Shao didn¡¯t hesitate at all.  Of course, he knew very well what this order meant. If it were placed on other occasions, Chen Shao might hesitate, but in the Martyrs' Tomb, he had put aside all worries.

    Chen Shao has always lacked the determination to issue this order, but he discovered it when he came here.  It turned out that deep in his heart, this determination was already extremely firm.  Even with the greatest executioner of all time on his back, he would not waver in the slightest.

    When Chen Shao issued the order to launch a nuclear attack on Japan, he did not hesitate at all. Naturally, there were factors involved in Japan's invasion of China in later generations.  However, for the United States, Chen Shao really needs a reason to convince himself, and this reason is also very simple. There are countless reasons standing in front of him.

    Chen Shao has never been a hero because he lacks many conditions for being a hero.  But it doesn't mean that Chen Shao won't use heroic methods.  Everything just lacks special opportunities.

    Another point is that when the nuclear attack was launched on Japan, Japanese cities were generally small and a nuclear bomb with a yield of 200,000 tons was enough.  And America.  It's completely different.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In Japan.  The irrational spirit of resisting surrender did not die with the deaths of Denaka and Ugaki.

    At dusk on May 22nd.  Ten young men who called themselves the "Rebels to Honor the Emperor and Fight Foreign Counterattacks", with white cloths wrapped around their heads, occupied Mount Atago within sight of the Chinese Embassy.  The authorities sent police to disperse them.  But they threatened the police who surrounded them with pistols and grenades.

    In the pouring rain, they held hands, sang the national anthem, and shouted "Long live His Majesty the Emperor" three times. After that, five grenades exploded almost at the same time, and ten people fell to the ground, killing all of them.

    Their leader left a fatal sentence: "When mountains and rivers fall, cicadas rain suddenly." A few days later, the wives of the three dead rebels also climbed to the top of Atago Mountain to commit suicide.  Two people died. In a wave of self-destruction, eleven transport generals belonging to a certain Buddhist sect committed suicide in front of the palace, and fourteen young students committed seppuku at the Yoyogi training ground.

    Other rebels continued to carry out sporadic attacks on communications centers.  A major and sixty-six soldiers from a communications school briefly occupied the Japan Broadcasting Association's radio station in Kawaguchi.  About forty civilians, including ten women, seized Matsui Radio Station and then attacked the post office, power plant, local newspaper office, and county government.

    After the announcement that the Chinese army would soon occupy Japan, it caused new fear and uneasiness.  Rumors spread everywhere and the people were panicked.  Some said that Chinese troops were landing in Osaka, while others said that thousands of Chinese troops had raped and plundered in Yokohama.

    The girls and their valuables were evacuated to the countryside or mountains.  Newspapers are full of advice on how people should get along with the Chinese army.  They told the women: "You must not go out at night. Do not take valuables such as watches out. When you are in danger of rape, you must show a dignified attitude, do not give in, and call for help."

    Newspapers warned them to be careful not to engage in "provocative behavior" such as smoking or not wearing socks.  Some factories even gave poison pills to female workers.

    Soon after dawn on May 28, forty-five Kunpeng transport planes flew over Mount Fuji, carrying China's advance troops, commanded by Qian Sihai's intelligence minister, Major General Wang Xijing.  The leading plane landed at Atsugi Airport. After stopping, the first conqueror to set foot on Japanese soil was Major General Wang Xijing.

    At one end of the tarmac, a group of Japanese people rushed towards him, shouting.  He thought at the time that these lunatics were going to chop him to death.  This turned out to be a group of reception staff.  A short officer stepped forward and introduced himself as You Mo Jing.Third lieutenant general.

    "Two hours ago, three blue Chinese fighter jets flew towards Atsugi Airport. One of them dropped a large pipe. Youmo stood stunned and watched it fall.  He was afraid that this was the work of Chinese radicals who demanded war.  The pipe fell on the grass and did not explode.  People carefully lifted it to Youmo, and he found a nut at the end.  They removed the nut so it "couldn't explode."

    There was a roll of cloth inside the tube, which turned out to be a fifteen-foot-long banner that read: "Welcome to the Chinese Army - Presented by the Chinese Marine Corps."  Attached was a note requesting that the banner be hung on the side of the hangar so that Qian Sihai's officers could see it when they got off the plane.  "Afraid of causing resentment and trouble," Youmo ordered the banners to be hidden.  When Wang Xijing and Youmo walked towards a tent in the reception area, Japanese photographers and photographers from the Chinese Signal Corps kept taking pictures, recording almost every step.

    In less than forty-eight hours, Atsugi Airport was occupied by the Chinese 11th Airborne Division. The division's eight-engine Kunpeng transport aircraft landed one every two minutes for several hours.  The airport had just been occupied when another Kunpeng transport plane appeared in the sky in the distance.  It was carrying the Chinese admiral Qian Sihai.

    Qian Sihai and his military translator, Colonel Li Yongze, were discussing the fate of Japan on the plane.  Li Yongze has been to Japan countless times.  "It's very simple," Qian Sihai said.  "We will use the tool of the Japanese government to realize the occupation." Among other things, he wanted to give Japanese women the right to vote.

    ¡°Japanese men will be unhappy.¡±

    "I don't care. I want to discredit the Japanese military. Women don't want war."

    The large transport plane landed at 2:19 p.m.  The first person to step out of the cabin was Qian Sihai.  He paused at the top of the gangway, and Li Yongze heard him saying to himself: "This is the end." He lit a cigarette and got off the plane with it in his mouth.  General Wang Xijing, who arrived a few hours ago, stepped forward and shook hands with Qian Sihai. Qian Sihai said, "The journey from the Philippines to Tokyo is really long, but this seems to be the end."

    A row of dilapidated cars were waiting at the airport to take Qian Sihai and his party to the Yokohama Provisional Headquarters.  The lead vehicle was a red fire truck. The fire truck made an astonishing crackling sound as it drove, and the convoy followed the fire truck.  The fifteen-mile journey to Yokohama slowly started with a clanging clang.  There were almost 30,000 Japanese troops standing guard along the route.  All turned their backs to Qian Sihai.

    They settled in the Shindaiguangming Hotel, a luxurious hotel built after the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923.  During dinner, Qian Sihai's guard warned his superiors.  The steak may have been poisoned.  Qian Sihai laughed.  He said, "Then no one can survive."

    That night.  He told the officers assembled in his room: "Brothers, this is the greatest adventure in military history. We are sitting in the enemy's country, and we have only this few troops. Nineteen heavily armed divisions to guard,  There are still 70 million lunatics. Just one wrong move and the Alamo (The Alamo is a historic building in San Antonio, Texas, USA. In 1836, four thousand Mexican troops led by Santa Anna surrounded it.  The Texans held out until only five people, including Davy Crockett, were left. They promised to surrender if they were not killed. Santa Anna agreed, but later killed them.) It would be like a Sunday school outing!"

    The formal surrender ceremony was held on June 2, three days after Qian Sihai arrived in Japan, on the super aircraft carrier Yanhuang anchored in Tokyo Bay.

    In the early morning of the second day, the sky was hazy and cool. About 7:30, a destroyer arrived, and many notes came from the destroyer.  In addition to reporters from China, there are also reporters from the European Axis Alliance.  In the designated position where reporters are allowed to stand, they were whispering to each other. Only a few Japanese reporters stood aside submissively.

    Subsequently, a destroyer sailed next to the Yanhuang, and the generals of the Chinese navy and army stepped off the destroyer and boarded the Yanhuang.  At 8:05, Li Haijiang and Di Lang boarded the Yanhuang, followed by Qian Sihai.

    At this time, another destroyer came with eleven Japanese representatives.  There was a debate among the Japanese about who should be the chief representative.  It would be intolerable and unthinkable for the royal family and the new Prime Minister Dong Jiure to suffer such humiliation; and Konoe, who had risked his life for two years for peace, was not willing to suffer shame at this moment.

    This heavy responsibility therefore fell on the new Foreign Minister Shigemitsu.  Shigemitsu considered this a "painful but beneficial mission" and felt honored that the Emperor appointed him to lead the team.  Army Chief of Staff Umezu was forced to participate, at the emperor's personal invitation.  Chief of Naval Command Toyota ordered his chief of operations, Rear Admiral Tomioka, to attend on his behalf.  "You lost the battle," he said, "so it's your turn." Tomioka obeyed silently, but had already made up his mind to commit seppuku after the surrender ceremony.

      After the Japanese representatives boarded the ship, they were not even sure what etiquette to use.  Should they salute, bow, shake hands or smile? Their adviser Mahibir once told military personnel to salute and civilian officials to just take off their hats and bow. "I suggest you all show a nonchalant look on your face."

    At 8:55, Mahibir led a Japanese civil servant wearing a top hat, a tuxedo and a wide tie to board the Yanhuang.  It was extremely difficult for the civil servant to climb the escalator, and he groaned with every step he took.  He is Aoi Shigemitsu, whose left leg was blown off by an assassin's bomb many years ago.  His prosthetic legs made walking difficult and painful.  Bird, who was standing on top, originally thought that the gloomy-looking general behind the top hat would give him a hand.  That general was Umezu, who regarded Shigemitsu as a hateful "Bagdolio" and ignored his suffering.  Bird stepped forward and held out a hand.  Chongguang shook his head, but later the Chinese helped.

    The painful journey up the escalator from the back deck to the front deck where the ceremony was held made Shigemitsu the center of everyone's attention.  A Chinese reporter noticed.  Those who watched stared at him with "a cruel sense of satisfaction."  Shigemitsu climbed up the escalator in embarrassment, hiding his expression.

    After the Japanese delegation took their positions, General Qian Sihai arrived. He, Li Haijiang and Di Lang walked across the deck in high spirits and came to a table covered with documents.

    "We, representatives of the belligerent countries," Qian Sihai said, "have gathered here to sign a solemn agreement. Thus peace can be restored. Disputes involving diametrically opposed ideals and ideologies have been decided on the battlefield. Therefore,  We do not need to discuss or debate here. Nor do we, as representatives of the majority of the peoples of the planet, come together here in a spirit of distrust, malice or hatred. The duty of both of us, victor and loser, is to achieve a higher dignity. Only this  This dignity is conducive to the sacred goals for which we are about to fight. Let all our people use without reservation the understanding we are about to formally obtain here. To faithfully implement that understanding."

    There was no resentment or revenge in Qian Sihai¡¯s words. ¡°My sincere hope,¡± Qian Sihai continued.  "In fact, it is also the hope of all mankind. From this solemn moment, a better world will emerge from the bloodshed and massacre of the past, a world based on faith and understanding, a world dedicated to human dignity and ability.  A world of freedom, tolerance and justice that humanity most desperately desires.¡±

    Almost as if it came true, the dark clouds parted and the peaks of Mount Fuji shone in the distant sunlight.  Qian Sihai pointed to a chair on the other side of the table.  Chongguang hobbled up and sat down.  He fiddled with his hat, gloves, and cane in a confused manner, giving the impression of stalling for time.

    Di Lang has a bad temper. I really wanted to slap him in the face and say: "Sign it quickly! Damn it! Sign it quickly!"

    However, Qian Sihai saw that Chongguang was confused, so he turned to his chief of staff and said seriously, "Tell him where to sign." Chongguang signed.  Then Umezu walked up stiffly and signed his name without even sitting down.  Qian Sihai signed in his own name with another pen.

    After the signing, Qian Sihai delivered a speech again.  "Let us sincerely wish," he said, "that peace has begun to awaken in the world and that God may bless it forever. This concludes the ceremony."

    He walked up to Li Haijiang and put his arm on his shoulders.  Qian Sihai said: "Boy, where are those planes?"

    Liu Haijiang didn¡¯t need to answer. The rumble of airplanes in the distance seemed to answer this question.  Thousands of carrier-based aircraft and Globemasters taking off from other aircraft carriers flew over the Yanhuang in a majestic and spectacular formation.

    Qian Sihai left the deck where the ceremony was held, went to another microphone, and delivered a radio speech to China.  "Today, the muzzles are silent," he said, "a great tragedy has ended. A great victory has been achieved. The sky no longer brings death, the ocean only serves commerce, and people everywhere walk in the sun. All  The world will soon be peaceful and peaceful. The most important step of the sacred mission has been completed

    A new era has arrived.  Even the lessons of victory itself bring about deep concerns for future security and the survival of civilizationMilitary alliances, balance of forces, alliances between nations have all failed, and the only path left is to be tested by war.  the way¡­¡­

    Now, the sheer destructiveness of war eliminates this option.  We've had one last chance.  If we do not devise some greater and fairer system, then the final great conflict will come to our door"

    Qian Sihai¡¯s words truly guarantee that China will treat its defeated enemies with understanding and sympathy.  Across Japan, citizens are also beginning to recover from their unbearable and painful fate.  "If pain and shame are allowed to be with me??Dark thoughts of future revenge grow in the mind.  "The Japan Times advised its readers with such words, which were intended to be inspiring and proved prophetic. "Then our spirits will be abnormal and we will become despicable But if we  Use this pain and shame to spur self-reflection and reform. If this self-reflection and reform are used as the driving force for great construction, then there will be no force that can prevent us from rebuilding on the ashes of failure without the residue of the old.  A glorious new Japan that has influenced Japan, a new Japan that can maintain its own pride and win the respect of the world.  "(To be continued)
