"So? How did Old Mi respond to us?"
Osaka, the hall of the temporary parliament of Japan.
Yasuda and others are holding a meeting in full swing.
Japan has already sunk a third of its landmass, and the earthquake and tsunami caused by this disaster have indirectly reduced Japan's population by one-fifth.
One-fifth is not a small number, because Japan has been aging severely in recent years. People over seventy years old still need to continue to contribute. If so many people are lost all at once, how will the country develop in the future?
Even if Kyoto is gone, they can still make a comeback. What's most heartbreaking is that they've lost everyone.
Moreover, if the Great Xia launches another attack, their Japanese kingdom will truly be completely wiped out.
So, after settling in Osaka, Yasuda's first action was to send someone to Old Mi for help.
However, the returning ambassador wore an expression of utter despair.
He lowered his head heavily and said painfully, "Hey! Prime Minister, the Americans refuse to help us. They won't send mechs to the East China Sea. They're prioritizing the South China Sea battlefield. At the same time, they've given us orders to attack Daxia, strike the three northeastern provinces first, and take over the territory east of Guanzhong!"
"What??"
Yasuda could hardly believe his ears.
Is this something a human being could do?
What a damn alliance! The treaty is just a flimsy piece of paper!
I almost lost my country, and you're telling me to keep fighting against the Great Xia? What utter nonsense!
And take over Northeast China?
Are you kidding me? Do you think this is a hundred years ago?
It should be noted that the Fengtian Army in the Northeast is no joke; it is known as the strongest in the Great Xia, especially the Iron Pagoda. If provoked, it can really invade their homeland.
"Send a telegram to General Mike. I want to speak with General Mike personally!"
Yasuda's first thought was to call MacShaw.
After all, MacShaughnessy is the top commander in the East China Sea and also a radical; he might be able to shield them.
However, to his surprise, the call did not go through.
"Prime Minister, after Mount Fuji was bombed, General Mack led the US fleet to evacuate immediately. They withdrew all the troops, and before leaving, they took hundreds of Japanese women with them to be used as comfort women!"
"What??"
Upon hearing this, Yasuda's head was buzzing.
Anger consumed everything.
Damn it!
I've been feeding and caring for you, and when it really matters, you run away with your pants down and even steal Japanese women. Do you even deserve to be called human?
"Baka yarou!!"
In a fit of rage, Yasuda grabbed the ambassador in front of him and slapped him several times across the face, then kicked him hard to the ground to vent his anger.
Meanwhile, MacSchwarz had already led his fleet back to the Pacific. He was partly acting on orders from Onsa, and partly genuinely terrified. Good heavens, he hadn't expected Great Xia to be so reckless, actually resorting to nuclear weapons.
It's safer to stay in the Pacific Ocean.
At this moment, Yasuda began to worry.
Just now, a letter of declaration of war against Japan arrived from the Great Xia.
The order was issued by Lin Yu in his capacity as the supreme commander of Fengfu, requiring Yasuda to lead a group of high-ranking officials to personally escort the Japanese Emperor and other members of the imperial family to Fengfu to await their fate. He further demanded that they, as a defeated nation, submit a blood oath of surrender and commit seppuku before he would consider sparing the rest of the Japanese people; otherwise, a second, or even a third, bomb awaited Japan.
"This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!"
Enraged, Yasuda tore the official letter to shreds.
This is undoubtedly a tremendous humiliation, an utter disgrace!
Even in the history of Japan as a vassal state of Daxia, it has never been subjected to such rude demands; it's as if they, the Japanese, are not treated as human beings.
One can imagine that if Japan were to actually do this, it would lose all dignity and stand among the nations of the world.
Forget about becoming a developed country again; they are not even as good as the lower castes in India, and deserve to be treated like cattle and horses.
This can no longer be described as a loss of sovereignty and national humiliation; it's practically like feeding someone shit!
"This is intolerable! Let's fight them!"
"It's time to awaken the ancient gods of Japan!"
"They should have woken up the moment the Edo Tensei collapsed!"
"Japan desperately needs a victory to restore our confidence!"
"When the ancient gods awaken, the Great Xia will be reduced to scorched earth, becoming a living hell!"
"At that time, we will be the masters of the entire world!"
"Hahahaha!"
These old men have gone mad again, indulging in wild fantasies.
Yasuda took a deep breath; in truth, he didn't quite agree with the suggestion.
Awakening ancient gods is actually a matter of unpredictable fortune and misfortune.
Why do I say that?
Because the ancient gods are so ancient, they have been sleeping for a long time.
Their history dates back to before the emergence of the Japanese people.
As is well known, the ancestors of Japan were composed of two parts.
One part of it is from the Qin Dynasty, when Qin Shi Huang sent a eunuch named Liu Fu to the island of Japan, where he established a nation.
Originally, there were some primitive tribes on the island.
These primitive tribes were led by the imperial family.
When Liu Fu arrived on the island with a thousand men, he slaughtered and occupied a large area of land, but he did not dare to touch the imperial family.
Because the imperial family was connected to an ancient god, they used sacrificial rituals to incite the ancient god to perform miracles. Liu Fu was terrified.
He came to Japan to find the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang. He even communicated with an ancient deity who acknowledged Qin Shi Huang's identity, calling him the last emperor on earth, and thus bestowed upon him a divine elixir. He then instructed Liu Fu to take it back.
