"Yoxi! You guys are right. Manchukuo and the Far East are the last hopes of the Great Japanese Empire. We must stick to it no matter what!"

Ishihara nodded, then said loudly to everyone with a ferocious expression, "So, next, please do your best with me to keep this last hope and bargaining chip for the Great Japanese Empire!"

"Although the European war has ended, the Soviets have been severely damaged. They are now just at the end of their strength. They are not capable of counterattacking the Far East in a short period of time."

"Although the Great Japanese Empire has been blown into scorched earth by the invaders, and has adopted a despicable and shameless mine blockade, the empire has suffered an extremely serious humanitarian disaster!"

"But what I want to say is that under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, they will never succumb to the cruelty of the invaders, and they will definitely persevere to the end.

The empire will also become the tombs of those brutal invaders, and the empire will never succumb to foreign force!”

"Here, the Imperial Kwantung Army has been operating for more than ten years and built the Hutoushan Fortress system, which can be called the Eastern Maginotou Line, which is enough to withstand the Soviet counterattack."

"Here, we have a strong military-industrial system, a heavy civilian base, and more than one million imperial imperial troops."

"If we add military forces such as the North China Front Army and the Imperial Army, we can gather a strong strategic heavy army group of 2.2 million."

"So from that perspective, we are not yet at the end of our lives. We are fully capable of defending the last hope of the Great Sun Empire!"

"The Great Japanese Empire must not lose the war in humiliation, nor can it accept unconditional surrender, because the Great Japanese Empire will fall into the abyss that will never be restored!"

"So, please let us fight to the last moment together, even if only one soldier is left, we must win the last glimmer of vitality for the Great Japanese Empire!"

"Please, please!"

Ishihara Kanir became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally began to roar, as if he had a chance to turn the tables against the wind.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty General, we will follow you to the death!"

"Great General, as long as you are here, we will definitely stand firm!"

"The great Japanese Empire is favored by the great god Amaterasu and can definitely overcome the difficulties!"

"Hayi, let's fight together!"

Ishihara Kan's words were extremely contagious. The room was excited in an instant, his eyes emitted fierce and splendid despair, and the previously sluggish despair was gone.

What I just said was not only a true monologue in Ishihara Kanir's heart, but also a very objective current situation.

That is, the more severe the beast is injured, the more dangerous it will be.

Although the Japanese authorities are very clear that defeat is a foregone conclusion, they will never "put down their butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately", and they will only resist stubbornly to the end.

Unless they really lose all their chips, they really have no strength to resist!

World War II was the largest war in human history. There were 61 countries in total, with a population of more than 2 billion being involved in the war, with a combat area of ​​22 million square kilometers.

According to incomplete statistics, the total number of military and civilians in the entire war was more than 90 million casualties, and the economic losses reached more than 5 trillion US dollars.

The Allies paid a huge price to achieve victory in fighting fascist countries such as Germany, Italy, Japan and others in a difficult manner.

However, until 1945, when Italy and Germany surrendered one after another, Japan was still resisting stubbornly and not surrendering.

The Japanese military headquarters is still clamoring for a 100 million-dumping plan, clamoring to fight the Allies on the ground.

According to the Americans' prediction, if they forcibly land on the land and fight to the decisive battle, facing the crazy Japanese military and civilians, the US military will have to sacrifice at least 500,000 people.

The Japanese military base is so crazy, because they are unwilling to fail like this, and because they know that the Americans have always paid great attention to humanitarianism and cannot bear the huge cost of casualties like fighting nations.

Therefore, the Japanese military headquarters attempted to use this to intimidate the US military, so that they did not dare to land on the land, and thus reached a peace with the US military unilaterally.

Although this idea is a bit wishful thinking, it actually has a lot of room for operation. You should know that when Japan was forced to announce unconditional surrender, they still had an extremely large number of troops.

Among them, there were 1.056 million Chinese dispatched troops in Okamura, 664,000 Kanto troops in Yamada Yoshimi, 164,000 Fujiri's 10th Front Army in Antai and the Seiji Islands, 294,000 North Korea's 17th Front Army in last month, 743,000 Soichiko's southern dispatched troops in Tekanai, and more than 140,000 Imamura on New Britain Island.

The 1st General Army of Sugiyama in Tokyo, Japan, the 2nd General Army of Hata Shunji in Osaka, and the 5th Front Army of Higuchi Yoichiro in Sapporo had more than 2.4 million people.

In addition, the total number of Japanese Navy when it surrendered was 1.693 million.

Together, when the Japanese army surrendered unconditionally, the total strength of the regular army of the sea and land was still as high as more than 7.15 million.

And this does not include the millions of puppet troops, the Imperial Army, and the 24 million Japanese militia volunteers.

When Japan surrendered, our country had a detailed record of Japan's acceptance of troops. At that time, the Japanese troops from major cities such as Nanjing, Jiangsu, the 6th Japanese Army in Nanjing, Guangdong, and the 23rd Japanese Army in Guangzhou, Guangdong, totaling 1.05 million people.

The materials and equipment confiscated were 685,897 rifles, 60,377 pistols, 29,822 machine guns, 12,446 artillery pieces, 180,994,000 rounds of machine guns, 2035,000 rounds of pistol bullets, 2070,000 rounds of artillery shells, 383 tanks, 151 armored vehicles, 15,785 trucks, and 74,159 horses; 1,066 aircraft of various types, and 1,400 ships of various types.

It should be noted that this is just the Japanese equipment in the Chinese War Zone, and it is not as good as the Northeast that the Soviet Union sent troops to receive. Of course, most of the 10,000 artillery pieces were ordinary grenade launchers, but this number was also very terrifying.

However, the Kwantung Army in the Northeast still maintained a scale of about 700,000 while constantly drawing troops to the Pacific battlefield or local area.

Of course, many of the newly added Kanto soldiers are young and young people with no combat experience or veterans who have been re-sumed. The combat power can be imagined.

The Soviet army seized approximately 700,000 rifles, 4,000 artillery, 600 armored vehicles, and 800 aircraft.

In Japan, where Japan focuses on defense, there are a total of 2 million to 3 million people. These are the most elite divisions located in the arsenals in Okura, Nagasaki and other places, and are still producing materials continuously.

In important cities such as Tokyo, a large number of anti-aircraft artillery regiments are also stationed.

After the war, the US military confiscated 2468,665 rifles, 1568,254 bayonets, 81,061 pistols, 661,621 sabers, 186,680 light and heavy machine guns, 201,244 artillery, 2,970 tanks, 14,494 cars, 12,725 aircraft, and 1.192 million tons of ammunition.

It can be seen from this that although Japan's loss of war is a foregone conclusion, it still has a terrifying foundation. Coupled with the crazy samurai spirit of Japanese militarism, if the atomic bomb had not emerged, the final result would have been unbearable for the Allies to bear.

So here, later generations asked questions with the following assumptions:

If it weren't for the atomic bomb, when would World War II end?

Will the United States let go of some disputes due to excessive casualties in the war, causing a series of chain reactions in China, and even reach certain agreements with Japan unilaterally?

In this case, did the Soviet army have the ability to land on the Japanese mainland and then occupy the entire territory of Japan?

Some people even asked, if Japan knew that Americans actually had only two atomic bombs in their hands, how would they react? Will they still raise their hands to attack?
