Age of Conquest Reborn

Night has fallen, and a pitch-black night shrouds the sky over Tokyo. The entire city seems to have disappeared into darkness. Except for the remaining fires swaying in the wind on the outer battlefield, there are still a few dim lights. No lights can be seen elsewhere. Death.

There is general silence, only the thick smell of gunpowder smoke and burnt smoke hangs over the city, and even the evening breeze cannot dissipate it.

The battlefield that had been roaring all day finally calmed down. In the ears of all the Japanese, there was still the echo of the sound of artillery. The China Independent Division troops' violent artillery fire and overwhelming bombing, followed by the millions of troops on all sides.

Huahua's offensive has squeezed the Japanese's psychological endurance to the extreme. They don't know why the China Independent Division stopped attacking, let alone what kind of attack they will endure when the sun rises tomorrow.

Prince Zain's whole body seemed to be falling apart, and he staggered back to his resting place on the ground. For more than ten hours, his spirit was in a state of high tension. The safety of Tokyo was at stake, and he was under great pressure.

There were fierce battles everywhere. The soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire resisted the fierce attacks of the soldiers of the China Independent Division with their flesh and blood. He personally directed every battle, and even directly commanded the combat units at the regiment level.

Fortunately, in addition to the loss of the first line of defense outside Tokyo, the second line of defense is still in the hands of the Imperial Army. After more than ten hours of squeezing his brain, Zai Ren felt as if his head was cracking.

The pain was so severe that it was unbearable. All the strength in my body was drained. I didn't eat anything for a day, but I didn't feel hungry at all.

Now Zai Ren's face is pale and haggard. His eyes are covered with red bloodshot eyes and they are moving sluggishly. He just wants to fall on the bed and take advantage of the rare quietness to fall asleep and never wake up again. He knows very well that tomorrow

After dawn, another difficult beginning began.

However, a phone call from the palace ruined Zai Ren's plan to sleep. The call was from Lieutenant General Yamada, the head of the palace guard. Lieutenant General Yamada's tone was very polite and respectful. "Your Highness, His Majesty the Emperor, please ask you immediately.

Rush to the palace, Your Majesty is eager to know the status of today's battle!"

The Emperor has his destiny, how dare he disobey Zai Ren. After putting down the phone and sighing, Zai Ren didn't even have time to drink his saliva, so he dragged his tired and hungry body, full of worries and heaviness, to the car.

Rush to the palace.

At the entrance of the palace, Lieutenant General Yamada, the head of the guard, came to greet him in person. When he arrived at Hirohito's palace, Zain was not surprised to see that all the big guys from the base camp were there, and they arrived neatly. Apparently, they came to the palace to inquire.

News.

Now the military power of the empire is in his own hands. In the battle to defend Tokyo, these high-ranking but mediocre bosses. Zai Ren did not use any of them. He was disdainful to use them, and he did not dare to use them. He would rather use some.

A young military officer.

Zai Ren bowed deeply to Hirohito, and before he spoke, Hirohito said kindly: "Emperor brother, thank you for your hard work. You are leading the battle alone on the front line. I really feel sorry for you, and I can't share the burden with you. Come on, please sit down."

!Give me tea!”

After Zai Ren did it, Hirohito couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Emperor, how is the battle going today? I'm really worried!" A group of big guys also stretched their necks and fixed their eyes on Zai Ren. They didn't give any orders.

The power of the army does not mean that it does not care about the war. It is a matter that involves one's own property and life. If Tokyo is ruined, there will be no way for him to survive.

"Huh!" Zai Ren took a deep breath and said in a hoarse but calm voice: "Brother, the battle is going well. Except for the first line of defense, which was destroyed by fierce artillery fire and aerial bombardment by the China Independent Division artillery and aerial bombardment, the second line of defense was lost.

The defense line is still in our hands. In today's battle, the empire lost more than 50,000 troops, of which more than 40,000 were crushed to pieces by the artillery fire and aerial bombardment of the China Independent Division!"

"Hiss!" Hirohito and all the big guys gasped, and their faces suddenly turned pale. On the first day of the war, more than 50,000 people were killed, and the entire defense force in Tokyo was less than 500,000.

Man, isn't it said that in ten days, Tokyo will have no troops to defend? This is called a good war situation?

Zai Ren glanced indifferently, and the horrified big guys said nothing. The scene fell into silence. After a long time, Hirohito spoke and asked the most sensitive and critical question, "Brother, with your judgment,

, how long can Tokyo hold on?"

When Hirohito asked this, he was absolutely unsure. Although the battle took place outside Tokyo, in the palace, the roar of cannons could be heard and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke could be heard. The ground was shaking and the houses were shaking.

It seemed like he would fall down at any time. He was scared, scared from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother, please don't worry!" After taking a sip of tea to moisten his thirsty throat, Zai Ren's voice became much better and he said calmly: "We, the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan, are on the second line.

The defense line dampened the offensive momentum of the China Independent Division, otherwise, they would not have stopped attacking. Therefore, in my opinion, Tokyo can hold on for more than a year!"

Seeing the lies and falsehoods of the old god Zain, who has the title of Minister of War and Chief of General Staff of the base camp, but now Koichi Minai has no military power, he couldn't help but said: "Prince Zain, with all due respect,

Based on the losses suffered by the Imperial Army on the first day of the battle, the total strength of the Imperial garrison in Tokyo is less than 500,000, and they can withstand a few days of wear and tear. How can we conclude that it can last for more than a year?"

"You'd better tell the truth. Those present are all loyal men of the empire and ministers of His Majesty the Emperor. They are worried about the fate of the empire. Knowing the truth, they might as well make desperate plans. Most of the gentlemen present are leading troops in war.

General, we can’t hide military issues from everyone!”

What Koichi Minai said really touched the hearts of Hirohito and a group of big guys, and they all cast doubtful eyes on him. Zai Ren looked at Koichi Minai with disdain. For this old and fatuous old bastard, he himself

His political opponents have always been looked down upon. If there were not people like Koichi Minai in the decision-making level of the empire, the current fate of the empire would not be in danger of collapse at any time!

"Yonei-kun is wrong!" Zai Ren said coldly: "Yonei-kun only considered the number of the Empire's regular troops, but he forgot that there are millions of Imperial subjects in Tokyo, and they are not the Empire's samurai.

?Won’t pick up a gun and fight the Chinese soldiers?”

"On the first and second lines of defense, I have deployed a total of 200,000 troops in order to drain the offensive energy of the China Independent Division. After entering the urban street fighting, all imperial subjects will become warriors.

Why should I, Zai Ren, worry about not having any soldiers to use?"

Koichi Mineuchi was silent. He didn't believe Zain's nonsense. If all the people were in arms and the whole army was effective, the empire would not have been defeated in a few months and lost Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island, Hokkaido and Honshu Island.

The territory was occupied, allowing the China Independent Division to march straight into it and encircle Tokyo.

However, it is obviously unwise to continue arguing with Zai Ren. His Majesty the Emperor does not believe anyone now. He only believes in his scheming brother who has repeatedly made mistakes. He obeys his words. Zai Ren is now truly one person worth ten thousand people.

On top of that, the threatening situation facing the empire now was not caused by Zai Ren, but His Majesty the Emperor just couldn't see it, nothing could be done!

Furthermore, now that Zai Ren is in control of the military, he has the power of life and death. If before Tokyo falls, this bastard does something ruthless and takes the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, he will definitely be the first one to be shot.

From what I know about Zai Ren, at the end of the road, this guy will definitely be able to do it, that’s all, it’s better to say less!

The ministers seemed to have taken a reassurance and left one after another. After everyone left, Zai Ren's calm and confident expression was gone. His face was gloomy and he became depressed. This expression, but

Hirohito was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Brother Emperor, what's wrong with you?"

"Alas!" Zai Ren sighed heavily and said slowly: "Brother, to be honest, what I just said was to appease the ministers. The actual situation is that Tokyo can hold on

Three months is already a miracle! If we judge based on the offensive momentum of the China Independent Division today, Tokyo can hold on for a month at most!"

"Ah!" Hearing this, Hirohito fell down on the chair, his face turned pale, and he muttered to himself in confusion: "What should I do?" He was completely frightened. Now in Japan, only a corner of Tokyo is left.

, he didn’t even have a place to escape. If he fell into the hands of the Chinese soldiers, Hirohito knew that the end would be tragic, but he didn’t want to die!

"Brother Imperial, don't worry!" Seeing that his brother the Emperor was in a state of despair, Zai Ren hurriedly comforted him: "Brother Imperial, I have a plan for a long time. When the battlefields in the northeast and northwest of Honshu Island are eroding, I will

My brother started planning!"

"Emperor brother, do you have a good plan to keep Tokyo safe?" Hirohito completely gave up on the so-called majesty of the emperor, which he usually aloof, and his eyes shone with hope. He held Zairen's hand with tears in his eyes and asked.

"Brother, this is not a good idea!" Zai Ren said with a wry smile: "It is the last resort. When Tokyo falls, I can arrange for the emperor's brother, his wife, and several of his nephews to leave Tokyo and go into exile in Germany.

I will stay in Tokyo and live and die with Tokyo! I have ordered the embassy in Germany to start arranging all this!"

The hopeful light in Hirohito's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he shook his head and said: "The emperor made things simple. Now, Tokyo is surrounded by millions of troops of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli, and the land and air transportation are all blocked."

Cut off, how can I leave?"

"I'm afraid that now the soldiers of the China Independent Division have a copy of my photo, and I can't leave. Furthermore, how can I bear the heart to leave the emperor's brother alone in Tokyo to die!"

"Brother Imperial, I have a way for you to leave Tokyo and reach Germany safely!" Zai Ren said with great confidence.
