The Emperor Under the Ruins
Chapter 125:The Emperor Under the Ruins
The battle in the Japanese Imperial Palace, as the periphery was broken, the remaining forces of the Guards Division were also held in various places in the Imperial Palace, and many civilians participated in the battle to surround the palace.
The attack on the palace is not only a sharp knife chop led by Xu Xinyu, when the sharp knife chops where Xu Xinyu broke through the palace, the other eleven sharp knife rows, all of them arrived at the palace battlefield, and from all sides, surrounded the palace.
The Japanese Imperial Palace during this period was called Miyagi, and the place where the emperor summoned the Japanese cabinet was in the main hall, and the imperial palace was actually a place, but it was only divided between the place where the emperor lived and the administrative place, and was in the same castle.
Most of the palace is garden vegetation, before the destruction, exquisite is Tokyo, in the future, but also Tokyo's key tourism projects.
But now, those beautiful gardens, the so-called royal gardens, have long since become bald, and the flowers and plants have disappeared without a trace under the ravages of cannons.
The Miyagi Hill, where the main hall is located, also completely collapsed, and the wreckage of collapsed buildings covered the safe houses below the palace.
In the safe house at this moment, there is only a simple vent that allows people inside to breathe the air outside.
This underground safe house is a special underground safe house built after the Meiji Emperor moved to Tokyo, considering the United States knocking on the door of Japan.
The safe house is not only a house, but built as the emperor when it is necessary to avoid disaster, and the decoration of the environment is not much worse than the outside.
Fortunately, there is this safe house, otherwise in the early morning shelling, the Meiji Emperor and these officials of the Japanese cabinet have been destroyed by artillery fire.
However, the emperor who rolled down the stairs was not good now, in a dark safe house, a broken hand, the Meiji Emperor, whose head was also broken, and there was no calm of the royal family, or that his air and conservation had been shelled, and in close contact with the stairs, he was thrown into the Pacific Ocean.
The collapsed main hall, holding the exit of the safe house, another exit, but also death was destroyed by a heavy artillery shell.
The palace guards in the safe house are digging in a hurry to open the exit.
It has been nearly ten hours since entering the safe house to hide, what is the situation outside?No one said bad.
But for several hours, the sound of artillery and explosions, and even the cracks in the safe houses, Tokyo is afraid that Tokyo will not be better.
“Is the enemy really Russia?”The Meiji Emperor, who had sunk into the water, like a beast in anger, asked Gui Taro around him.
As Prime Minister, Gui Taro had to answer this question, saying, “Hopefully Russia, if not Russia, it will be the great Japanese Empire.”
Gui Taro's so frank answer made the Meiji Emperor's anger boil, almost with all his strength and roar: "No matter who it is, the Empire of Japan will not..."
Because of the excessive force, the injured arm, Meiji Emperor's words were too late to finish, grinning his teeth and endured severe pain.
As a royal and the supreme leader of Japan, he will not show any cowardice or unbearability in front of his subordinates.
Gui Taro is well aware of the thoughts of the Meiji Emperor, but some things can often be changed without wishful thinking.
“Sire, though reluctant, the war materiel of the Japanese Empire, has been unable to meet the needs and consumption of indigenous defences, and lies in the fact that the empire has consumed most of the war supplies that has been prepared for a decade in the Russian Empire’s ongoing 15-month war, and we cannot even arm more than a million troops if there are other enemies attacking the Japanese mainland.”
Gui Taro's tone was very heavy, and he spent more than ten hours sleepless here, and also gave him enough time to think and analyze.
Because of the sudden shelling of Tokyo, the terrible fire that has been instantaneous, let Gui Taro's idea coincide with the idea of Yamamoto's military defense.
Gui Taro was very suspicious, and even thought in his heart that the attack on Yokosuka and Tokyo's enemies could not have been the Russian fleet at all.
This is why it is a real disaster for Japan.
If the Russian fleet is attacked in Tokyo, even if the combined fleet is destroyed, then at least Japan has the opportunity to negotiate with Russia.
But if it is not the Russian fleet, it is not only that the joint fleet is very dangerous, but I am afraid that the whole of Japan will be in danger.
“The Empire will not cease to resist even if it fights only for women and children.”The Emperor gritted his teeth.
“I hope we all guessed wrong and that the Russians were ready to sit at the negotiating table when the passage opened.”He said with a slightly expected look on his face.
The Meiji Emperor did not speak, he was not so naive, and it was clear that Gui Taro was only looking forward to hope that he would appear, but rationality and analysis pointed to another outcome that he did not want to see.
Just when the emperor and the prime minister were silent one after another, the sound of shelling came from the ground again, which was the movement of the attacking palace and the Second Artillery fire against the palace.
Hearing the sound of five or six hours of calm again, whether it was Gui Taro or the emperor, the last glimmer of hope was gone.
The sound of the gun above is much smaller than the movement a few hours ago, and the enemy's ship gun will be bombarded Tokyo at this time, and it will be the enemy's ship gun, most likely after the enemy landed in Tokyo, the continuous shelling of Tokyo with army field artillery.
When the firing began to end in a few minutes and there was faint gunshots, the speculation was already a fact.
"Russia has no troops at all, and has landed in Tokyo."After a long silence, the Emperor of Meiji broke his peace.
Anyone can hear the fall and unwillingness in the words of the Meiji Emperor at this moment.
They are well aware of Tokyo’s defenses, facing a powerful fleet and the enemies who have landed in Tokyo, and the sound of battle is above their heads, and there is no doubt that even if they can leave this safe house, the best outcome is to become the enemy’s captive.
This is very clear to the Meiji Emperor, Gui Taro is naturally very clear, and there is no reason to refute the emperor, only to continue the silence, and now say that there is nothing to use.
Outside, the intensive gunfire lasted for a full ten minutes, and when the gunfire calmed down, another exit of the safe house was blocked, and finally opened.
Upon learning the news, Mr. Gui hurriedly ordered the guards of the palace to “send His Majesty the Emperor out of the safe house.”
