Chapter 761: throw in the towel
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
On the sea in Tokyo Bay, the warships of the German expeditionary fleet are firing fiercely. Cannonballs roared and smashed into downtown Tokyo.
At this moment, the urban area of Tokyo is already full of smoke and dust, and the flames are soaring into the sky. Even though it was broad daylight now, the soaring black smoke covered the sky, as if to block the sun's rays.
The bustling downtown Tokyo is being bombarded by the German expeditionary fleet, and it is turning into ruins bit by bit.
Even though Tokyo is the capital of the island country, the buildings here are no different from other places, mainly made of wood. This makes it very easy for these buildings to be ignited. The fire spread unscrupulously in the urban area of Tokyo, burning the city to ruins.
If a fire breaks out in normal times, the well-trained fire brigade can also put out the fire immediately. But now, everyone is running for their lives, and there is no one to fight the fire. How Tokyo will be burned in the end, perhaps only Amaterasu knows.
"General, as the largest city in the island country, Tokyo has many urban areas beyond the range of our main guns. It may be impossible to completely destroy Tokyo." Major General Mao Fu said.
"Well, but it is very good to be able to destroy most of Tokyo. I think our actions should have caused a great shock to the islanders. They should now know how painful the price of offending the empire is. Yes. If they are sensible, they should immediately accept the conditions of the empire!" Lieutenant General Spei said.
"General, what if the islanders continue to be obsessed with their obsession?" Major General Mao Fu asked.
Lieutenant General Spei thought for a while, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes: "If the people of the island country are still obsessed with their obsessions! Then, I'm afraid we will have to really go north to the title of the murderer. At that time, I will order all the coastal cities of the island country to be destroyed. Divide them into big and small ones, and destroy them all.”
Lieutenant General Spee was also unwilling to let things develop to such a stage. But if the island government is really obsessed with it, Lieutenant General Spee will have no other choice at that time. After all, as a soldier of the German Empire, he had to defend the interests of the empire, even if he was captured and infamous for this, he would not hesitate.
"General, in that case, I am afraid that many islanders will die!" Major General Mao Fu sighed.
"I don't care so much anymore. Letting the islanders die a little more is better than harming the interests of the empire!" Lieutenant General Spei said.
Major General Mao Fu nodded: "General, maybe we can choose to attack the palace of the islanders. In that case, the effect may be even greater."
"Attack the palace of the islanders?" Lieutenant General Spei frowned.
Before, in order to prevent the conflict between the two parties from developing to the point of irreconcilability. When Lieutenant General Spee made the bombardment plan, he always let the island country's palace go. Because he had served in the east for a period of time, he knew what the emperor meant to the islanders. If their shelling kills the emperor of the island country. Then, the island countries and Germany are really immortal.
"General, our bombardment has been going on for a while. I think the emperor of the island country should find a safe place to hide! Even if we bombard the palace of the island country, it is impossible to hurt him. At most, it will scare him. "Major General Mao Fu continued.
"Okay, let's do this! Order the ships to shoot at the Chiyoda area where the Imperial Palace of the island country is located." Lieutenant General Spei ordered.
"Yes, General!" Major General Maofu immediately conveyed Lieutenant General Spee's order.
Subsequently, the shelling of several battlecruisers was suspended for a few minutes. They re-planned the target of the bombardment. This time, these battlecruisers directly set their target on the location of the island nation's palace.
"Fire!"
Following the order of the gunner, these battlecruisers fired violently again. One after another, the shells roared and smashed towards the Chiyoda district.
"Boom!"
A shell fell into the palace of the island country and shattered a rockery. The scattered stones killed several people.
Immediately afterwards, more and more shells fell into the palace, destroying all the buildings in the island country's palace. Those servants and female officials in the palace fled in all directions. They are not qualified to enter the anti-blasting hole to hide, so they can only run around like headless chickens. Whether they can escape or not depends only on whether God Amaterasu blesses them.
Emperor Taisho, who was hiding in the bomb defense cave, was even paler.
"How dare they! How dare they bombard the palace?" Emperor Taisho roared angrily.
This kind of shell exploded above his head, and the dust from the blast hole kept falling, which made him feel ashamed, and Emperor Taisho almost fainted. He felt how close death was to him at this moment!
"Baga! Let the cabinet negotiate peace with the Germans. We admit defeat and can't fight anymore. Otherwise, I will be killed by them!" Emperor Taisho roared.
It's just that the servants who stood by his side didn't immediately follow his orders. They did not take Emperor Taisho's words seriously. Because they all know that Emperor Taisho can't be the master at all. The power of the country is in the hands of the elders and the cabinet.
Of course, they will immediately report Emperor Taisho's request to Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma who is also the Minister of Internal Affairs.
In the bomb defense cave where Youtomo was hiding in Dangshan County, Youtomo from Dangshan County, Dashanyan, Okashinosuke, etc., all of them changed their faces after hearing that the imperial palace was also bombarded.
"Baga! Damn the Germans, they dared to bombard our palace. Are they going to fight us forever?" Oka Ichinosuke was furious.
"This time, we lost and we can't fight anymore. Since the Germans dared to bombard our palace, it means they dared to bombard all our coastal cities. We can't afford that kind of loss!" Shan Xian Youpeng said.
Da Shanyan nodded aside.
The bomb defense hole where Shigenobu Okuma, Masayoshi Matsukata, and Kaoru Inoue hid. After they learned that the imperial palace was bombarded, they were even more mournful.
"The Germans are too arrogant and arrogant, they don't take the empire seriously at all, and dare to threaten the life and safety of His Majesty the Emperor!" Masayoshi Matsukata was furious.
"Germany is the most powerful country in the world, and they have the capital not to look down on any country!" Kaoru Inoue said.
"No matter what, this battle can no longer be fought. Even if we want revenge, we have to wait until we have stronger strength!" Okuma Shigenobu said.
