The Rise of the Third Reich

The event that occurred on May 28, 1945, which had the most profound impact on the history of this time and space, turned out not to be the Germans' arrogant victory parade, but the more than 100 tons of anthrax spore bombs and plague bacteria ceramics dropped by the Americans in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. bomb!

That's more than 100 tons of bacterial weapons! Except for surgery and a small amount of explosives and fillers, they are all deadly bacteria and Chinese fleas carrying the bacteria. American germ warfare experts are worried that American fleas cannot tolerate Japanese blood with little blood lipids, so they specially imported flea species from China. To carry plague bacteria from bacterial bombs dropped by Japan (bacterial weapons have this shortcoming, they can easily be copied by opponents and thrown on their own heads).

Since several B-29C aircraft carrying coagulant bombs ignited large urban areas in advance and pointed out the direction to other B-29Cs in the sky, thousands of various bacterial bombs may be on the world's population. The densest center of Tokyo is everywhere! Although according to the order of Yamamoto Isoroku, the Japanese Defense Army has already deployed biological and chemical defense teams in Tokyo. However, the number and equipment of these anti-biochemical forces are very limited, and it is impossible to clean the entire urban area of ​​Tokyo in a short period of time.

Moreover, the solidified bombs dropped by several previously ignited B-29Cs also set dozens of fires in the center of Tokyo. The burn was not severe, but it aroused panic among citizens - in order to avoid public panic, the Japanese government did not immediately announce that Tokyo might be attacked by a bacterial bomb. At that time, Yamamoto and others believed that the "Moonlight" night fighters deployed in the northern Noto Peninsula and Niigata Prefecture could at least force the B-17 to abandon bacterial bombs in the Sea of ​​Japan and coastal areas.

So everyone is afraid that the fire will spread to their dilapidated houses. So many people were rushing to put out the fire and save their little belongings. As soon as the air raid siren stopped, the streets of Tokyo were filled with people.

As a result, the germ immediately spread uncontrollably in urban Tokyo, and a short time later, it caused a large-scale epidemic in Tokyo.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, according to statistics from the Tokyo Defense Command, as of June 5, the number of citizens and soldiers confirmed to be infected with anthrax in Tokyo's epidemic areas has reached more than 75,000; the number of people infected with the plague has reached There are more than 73,000 people, and more than 20,000 of them are infected with anthrax and plague at the same time. In addition, there are more than 100,000 suspected cases... This time it is really a heavy loss!"

In Kyoto, Japan, in a campus of Kyoto University near the Kyoto Imperial Palace, the Japanese cabinet, which has just moved from Tokyo, which became an epidemic area, is holding an emergency meeting. Army Minister Anami Yuiki is using a trembling voice to describe the "disaster" situation in the affected areas of Tokyo.

Currently, there are hundreds of thousands of confirmed cases of the disease, more than 100,000 suspected cases, and countless more who are still in the incubation period. According to the estimates of experts from Unit 731, even if treatment is received in time (which in fact cannot be done in time, and there is no medicine), there is no problem that tens of thousands of people will die in Tokyo this time.

"Baga!" Army Minister Anan Weiji, who was making a report, suddenly piled up the documents in his hand and shouted loudly. "We can't forgive! We must not spare the Americans, the Chinese, and the Chinese! We must, we must let them understand the power of the empire..."

"Anan-kun!" Yamamoto Isoroku shouted, interrupting the barking Army Minister, "What are you talking about? Are you scolding like a shrew, or does the Army have some way to turn the tide of the war?"

"The Army..." Anan Wei gritted his teeth, "The Army is also preparing to use the bacterial weapons of Unit 731 to attack Shanghai and Guangzhou!"

The Japanese Army has long used bacterial weapons on the battlefield in the Far East, but it did not stop the enemy's offensive. Now Anami seems to be carried away by anger and is clamoring to use bacterial weapons to attack China's big cities Shanghai and Guangzhou - now the Japanese planes cannot reach the mainland of the United States, not even the Hawaiian Islands. As for Vladivostok, the population there was basically evacuated after the outbreak of the Far East War. After the Japanese army was defeated under the city of Vladivostok, there were not even many garrison troops left. Attacking with bacterial weapons will probably have no effect.

So the Chinese seem to be the only people Anan Weiji can vent his anger on...but the consequences will be quite serious!

"Bastard!" Yamamoto Isoroku was still stunned and immediately cursed, "Anan, do you want the Yamato nation to be exterminated?"

"Prime Minister, where do you start talking about this?"

Yamamoto snorted: "Does Anan-kun know that the Chinese also have germ weapons and long-range bombers now?"

"Those are all given by American ghosts..." Anan Weiji said bitterly.

"Ananjun, do you know how many people there are in China?" Yamamoto asked again.

"More than 600 million, maybe 700 million soon..."

Today's China has not experienced a brutal war of resistance, and has been basically developing peacefully since 1928. The Second Northern Expedition in 1939 was also devastating. It took 2 million communist fighters one month to sweep through most of northern China. So there was no population loss. Moreover, the land reform carried out in the south has equalized the means of living, which is greatly conducive to population growth.

Therefore, there were more than 600 million people in 1945!

With a snap, Yamamoto Isoroku slammed the conference table: "Anami Korechika, you also know that there are many Chinese! The Chinese are about 10 times the number of the empire (all Koreans will soon not be Japanese), and they live more dispersedly, and most of them live outside the coverage of our bombers. And we Japanese are very concentrated, almost all of us live within the coverage of B-17 and B-29. In this case, if we want to compete with China in the ability to withstand biological weapons, aren't we courting our own destruction?"

China is not a country that cannot fight back in the face of biological weapons. In order to retaliate against Japan, the Americans have already supported China with biological factories that produce anthrax weapons and plague weapons.

If it comes to releasing bacteria, the Chinese will not lose! Moreover, there are many Chinese, and the birth rate and growth rate are higher. A Japanese can be born in a few years. In addition, China's urbanization rate is also very low, just over 10%, and coastal cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou do not have many people because of "preparation for war". If we compete with biological weapons, the Japanese will really perish!

"But, but... the Empire can't let the Chinese and Americans go like this!" Anami Korechika roared.

"What if we don't let them go?" Yamamoto Isoroku's eyes were red, staring at Anami and said, "All the B-29s that attacked Tokyo on the 28th have flown to Vladivostok... more than 100! If these planes attack from Vladivostok again, they can carry 10 times more biological weapons than those from Hawaii! By then, Japan will become a hell!

So, in order to avoid the empire from suffering a catastrophe. Now I will report to the Emperor and request to stop the war."

"No," Anami Korechika roared, "I request to resign from the post of Minister of the Army!"

Japan now implements the active military attaché system of the Minister of the Navy and Army, that is, only when the Navy and the Army promote active generals and lieutenant generals to serve as ministers, can the cabinet be established. Once the Minister of the Navy and Army resigns and no one succeeds, the cabinet will fall.

Anami Korechika's resignation is forcing the Yamamoto Cabinet to resign.

"If you want to resign, Anan, I will ask the Army to send someone to serve as the Minister of War immediately." Yamamoto Isoroku also responded, "Otherwise, the Navy will not be able to send active personnel to serve as the Minister of the Navy!" Anan Korechika was stunned when he heard this. Although the active military attaché system is also useful for the Navy. But the Japanese Navy has never used not to send officials to serve as ministers to force the cabinet to fall. Unexpectedly, Yamamoto Isoroku will break the convention this time... This is troublesome. If the Army and the Navy confront each other on the issue of the Minister, then the Japanese Empire will have no cabinet?

If the cabinet is gone due to war, wouldn't it be a laughing stock for all ages?

Just when the scene was awkward, an army lieutenant suddenly rushed into the conference room in a panic and bowed to Anami Korechika: "General, the Kwantung Army (guarding South Korea) headquarters reports that the central Korean defense line is now under heavy enemy bombardment! The enemy... has concentrated at least 5,000 cannons, and there are also many rocket launchers. The front of the Imperial Army is already a sea of ​​fire!"

It turned out that the Sino-Soviet Union launched a general offensive on the Korean Peninsula!

Everyone in the conference room suddenly forgot about the impending cabinet crisis, because the Japanese Empire is now on the verge of collapse - it is really going to collapse! Not only because of the fierce attack launched by the Sino-Soviet army on the Korean Peninsula, but also because of the US biological weapons attack, Tokyo and nearby Yokohama (these two cities are actually connected to the urban area) have become epidemic areas, and military production there has stagnated. Tokyo and Yokohama are important industrial centers in Japan. Once they are shut down, Japan's military production will immediately fall into a huge crisis.

On the one hand, there is a crisis in military production, and on the other hand, there is a huge consumption of the decisive battle on the front line. Once the arms supply is insufficient, the Japanese Empire will collapse.

"We must cease fire!" Yamamoto Isoroku gritted his teeth and looked at Anan, "We can't fight anymore... If we cease fire now, the Empire can still keep most of the fruits of victory, and the Empire is still the winner. If we don't cease fire now, the Empire is likely to face collapse!" Anan Korechika bowed his head and said nothing. He could show off in front of Yamamoto, but he couldn't save the fate of the Guam Army's failure-the main elite of the Kwantung Army had long been lost in the Soviet Far East and Northeast China. The troops now guarding South Korea are all newly built divisions. The personnel have not been fully trained, and the weapons and equipment are insufficient. They are simply cannon fodder when they encounter the high-spirited and well-equipped Chinese and Soviet troops. Once the Kwantung Army is destroyed on the Korean Peninsula, China and the Soviet Union can then use their elite main forces to attack Japan's Annan Garrison Army! If the Annan Garrison Army is defeated, the Japanese Empire will really be finished. In addition, the United States, China and the Soviet Union are likely to launch another bacterial weapon attack! Although it may not necessarily lead to the destruction of Japan, it is still possible to turn several industrial centers into epidemic areas. How can Japan continue to fight at that time? The Japanese Empire must now seek a ceasefire, even if it gives up sovereignty over the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan (giving up sovereignty actually means giving up governance, because the Korean Peninsula has been controlled by China and the Soviet Union, and Taiwan will be demilitarized under Chinese sovereignty, which means that the Chinese government can legally send demilitarized people's police to the island).

……

"Leader, Your Excellency the two Imperial Marshals, His Majesty the Emperor of our country has decided to respond to the peace call of His Majesty the Emperor of your country and achieve a comprehensive ceasefire with the United States, the Soviet Union and China under appropriate conditions..."

In the German Chancellery, Lieutenant General Hiroshi Oshima, the Japanese ambassador to Germany and head of the Japanese delegation at the Rome Peace Conference, who had just arrived from the Rome Peace Conference, was dejectedly informing Hitler, Hersmann and Marshal Schleicher about Japan. The Emperor agreed to the ceasefire decision.

"What are the appropriate conditions?" Adolf Hitler interjected.

"It is the withdrawal of the US, Chinese and Soviet troops from the Korean Peninsula and the realization of autonomy in Northeast China..."

"Are you kidding?" Hessman said somewhat unhappily, "Lieutenant General Oshima, are you wasting our time? How can we mediate if you put forward such conditions?"

"Mediate...stop?" Oshima Hiroshi was stunned when he heard this, "Sir, isn't Germany an ally of Japan?"

"From the perspective of International Law, our alliance ended when you and the United States made separate peace." Adolf Hitler pointed out. "Although your peace talks with the United States were unsuccessful, this will not change the fact that our alliance has ended."

"This..." Oshima Hiroshi was stunned for a moment. He knew that what Hitler said made sense. At that time, Japan proposed to negotiate a separate peace with the United States, and also obtained Germany's consent. However, subsequent negotiations were delayed for a while due to the issue of the ownership of the Hawaiian Islands and the Aleutian Islands. Later, Roosevelt died of illness and the U.S. election - Wallace, who replaced Roosevelt as acting president, was a white left militant and the United States and Japan negotiated peace. Things went completely wrong in his hands.

"But, but... the peace talks between the United States and Japan did not continue..." Oshima Hiroshi still wanted to argue, but he was unwilling to admit the fact that the Japan-Germany alliance no longer existed.

Because without the Japan-Germany alliance, Japan would be in an extremely disadvantageous position in peace talks with the United States, China and the Soviet Union. Not to mention China's Northeastern autonomy and the withdrawal of US, Chinese and Soviet troops from the Korean Peninsula, even whether the Indochina Peninsula can be preserved depends on whether the Chinese Bolshevik Party shows mercy.

"This does not prevent our two countries from canceling the alliance." Adolf Hitler said calmly, "But we are still friends after all. Out of the traditional friendship between Japan and Germany, Germany and the European Community are still willing to mediate the war in the Far East."

Oshima Hiro's face was livid, Hitler's words had already been said, and there was no room left. And this attitude is understandable - Japan has always blocked the European Community from sending troops to Australia. Now that the "freedom fighters" in Australia are getting bigger and bigger, it is becoming more and more difficult for Europe to conquer.

In addition, Britain, France, the Netherlands and Russia, the Aryan brothers of the Germans, are all dissatisfied with Japan - Japan's Aryan honor is fake, but they are real Aryans! Moreover, the British royal family and the Russian royal family have or will merge with the German Hohenzollern royal family, and the Dutch royal family was the benefactor of the Hohenzollern family when they were in trouble...
