The Rise of Australia - Chapter 962

c944 Traitors

When Australasia’s bombing of the island country became a hot topic around the world, Australasia’s actions against the island country had also begun.

On the night of August 29, 1937, in Sapporo, a city in the north of the island country.

Knock, knock, knock!

The slightly dull knock on the door was unusually obvious in the silent night, but it was only a few steps away and was covered by the cicadas and frogs in the distance.

Creak~

The old wooden door opened, revealing a man with big black eyes and a slightly depressed spirit.

“Murakami-kun, is there anything?” The man looked outside the door, where his childhood friend, Murakami Sanan, who was under surveillance by the island government because he studied in Australasia, was standing.

“Go in and talk.” Murakami looked at the empty and silent night behind him, and did not directly state his purpose.

“Come in.”

Creak~

Once again, accompanied by the sound of the old wooden door, the silence outside the door returned.

“Murakami-kun, what happened?” Looking at his fellow countryman whose temperament was obviously different from before, Jiro Ino asked curiously.

“Jiro Ino, if nothing unexpected happens, will you go to training next month?” Murakami Sanan also looked at his partner and asked after a long time.

“Hey, what’s wrong? Did something happen?” Jiro Ino nodded first, and then asked again.

“What happened? Damn it, the sky is falling!” Murakami Sanan’s emotions were instantly excited, and he said helplessly: “I have said it a long time ago, extreme militarism and radical militarism will never work!

Do you know, Jiro Ino, just yesterday, Australasia bombed Tokyo. Now, the emperor and the government are all gone, and the island country is completely finished.”

“What did you say? Australasia bombed Tokyo? Was it the same weapon used in Hiroshima?” Jiro Ino’s eyes widened a little, and he asked in disbelief.

“Of course.” Murakami Sanan said in an angry tone: “I’m fed up with the government’s stupidity. Knowing that Australasia has such powerful weapons, it still insists on not giving in.

I have said long ago that in the competition for the hegemony of the Pacific, we can never be Australasia’s opponent. Instead of risking the entire national destiny to fight Australasia, it is better to cooperate with Australasia and snatch Russia’s interests in the Far East.

But the stupid government will never listen to the opinions of ordinary people. Now, the emperor and the government have said goodbye to this world.”

“If the powerful weapons used in Hiroshima are used, doesn’t it mean that the entire Tokyo may be destroyed?” Inojiro was still immersed in the shock of the bombing of Tokyo and kept asking.

“It’s probably like this.” Murakami Sanan smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, “When the government decides to launch an attack on the Hawaiian port, we have to be prepared for crazy revenge from Australasia.

You have never been to Australasia, and you don’t understand how terrible this country is. Compared with the previous British Empire, I think the former United States and the current Australasia are the countries with the most potential.

Of course, the United States no longer exists. Maybe the next world hegemon is Australasia.”

As one of the very few islanders who have studied in Australasia, the speed of Australasia’s development has brought Murakami Sanan an unparalleled shock.

The establishment time of Australasia is even shorter than the reform time of the island country, but it is in this short period of more than 30 years that Australasia has completed the process from colony to great power, and has surpassed the island country to become the current well-deserved Pacific hegemon.

If we count the various advanced and powerful weapons used by Australasia, it is no exaggeration to say that at present, among the military strengths of countries in the world, perhaps only Germany can compete with Australasia.

It is such a powerful country that the foolish government has to take the initiative to provoke, and even when Australasia has used more powerful weapons, it still remains unmoved and tries to resist stubbornly.

If this is not naked suicide, what is it? Murakami Sanan has never been so disappointed with his country, and has never been so desperate.

“Murakami, do you hate Australasia?” Jiro Izumo looked at his childhood friend, hesitated a little, and asked.

“Hate?” Murakami Sanan shook his head with a bitter smile on his face, and said helplessly: “When the two countries are at war, and we are the first to attack, what qualifications do I have to hate Australasia?

If it were me, I would do the same. I would even admire them for growing from a colony to a great power in such a short time, and even becoming a superpower that can compete for world hegemony.

Look at us, the limited funds invested in the army, and the army and navy still have irreconcilable contradictions. This is simply funny. I have never seen such fierce contradictions in the great powers. If such a scene is used on the enemy, I am afraid we would have won the war long ago.”

“Now that Tokyo has been destroyed, why don’t we try to contact Australasia and end this war as much as possible to avoid us from suffering more losses?” Inojiro looked at his partner who looked a little decadent, and asked word by word.

Murakami Sanan was stunned, then looked at Ishida Jiro with a fiery look, and asked directly: “Ishida-kun, have you had any contact with Australasia?”

Ishida Jiro saw that his partner had exposed him so quickly, nodded helplessly, and said with a smile: “Hi. Maybe because I am a pacifist, someone who claimed to be from the Australasia Intelligence Department came to me before.”

Murakami Sanan was a little dumbfounded. His identity as an international student did not attract the Australasia Intelligence Department. How could a native Ishida-kun attract Australasia?

Seeing that Murakami Sanan was surprised, Ishida Jiro smiled and said: “You were monitored by many people before. I believe this is also the reason why the Australasia people did not come to you.”

Murakami Sanan nodded, and did not delve into the question.

“You said that the people from the Australasia Intelligence Department came to you? What did they want you to do?” Murakami Sanan looked at his partner and asked curiously.

Ishida Jiro still believed Murakami Sanan.

Therefore, without much hesitation, Jiro Izumo said: “They invited me to create a peace party to attract and recruit those islanders who are against the war.

I was still curious about the role and purpose of the Australasians wanting to establish a peace party. After hearing what you said today, I also understand the purpose of the Australasians.”

Murakami Sanan also nodded, and instantly understood the intention behind the Australasians.

Directly use atomic bombs to destroy the government and the emperor who support the war, and then support the peace people in the island country to establish a new party to control the island government to complete the occupation of the island country.

At the same time, you can also use the means of peace people to purge the war factions in the island country and achieve the goal of using islanders to govern the island country.

Although such means are very common internationally, it has to be admitted that it is indeed a more appropriate choice for the current situation of the island country.

After all, for most of the islanders who are radicals at this time, if Australasia forcibly controls the military, it is inevitable that many rebellions will break out, which will affect Australasia’s operations in Europe.

If the islanders govern the islands themselves, Australasia only needs to exercise economic and military control, and let the pacifist island government take the blame, so as to maintain the stability of the islands.

As for whether the pacifists will purge the war faction, in the face of the temptation of the highest power in a country, this question has actually been answered long ago.

“Do you have a way to contact the Australians?” After thinking for a moment, Murakami Sanan made a plan.

“Are you planning to cooperate with the Australians?” Inojiro hesitated and asked.

Although he is a pacifist, the relationship with Australasia has suddenly changed from an enemy to a collaborator, which is a bit too big.

More importantly, the bombing of Australasia is unprecedented.

If Tokyo is really destroyed, the number of casualties on the island will be at least three million.

This is no longer a simple enemy, this is a mortal enemy!

If a new government is successfully established, it will be fine, and you can use your power to eliminate the influence of public opinion.

But if you don’t take power, the enemy will not let them go as “traitors” in the eyes of the people.

“This may be the only choice for the island nation, isn’t it?” Murakami Sanan smiled bitterly and said helplessly: “What if we don’t cooperate with Australasia?

Wait for more bombings from Australasia? One bombing can destroy a city. How many cities can we wait for Australasia’s bombing?

Do we have to wait until all our 70 million people are killed before we can bow our heads and surrender to Australasia?”

Murakami Sanan’s words were a blow to Jiro Ino, completely extinguishing all his hopes.

Yes, since the bombing of Hiroshima by Australasia, the island nation and Australasia have not been on the same level at all.

The current war actually has only one outcome for the island nation, that is failure.

As for what kind of failure it is, it depends on the awareness of the island nation’s government and people.

September 1, 1937, in Sapporo Castle, Hokkaido, the island nation.

A familiar place, a familiar knock on the door.

Dongdong, dongdongdong!

After a rhythmic knock, the wooden door creaked open.

Jiro Ishida appeared behind the wooden door and said with a smile: “I’ve been waiting for a long time, Mr. Andri.”

“I’ve been waiting for a long time, Mr. Ishida.” The man called Andri took off his hat, revealing his Australasian face, and smiled.

“Come in and talk in detail. I have a friend who also wants to meet Mr. Andri.” Jiro Ishida nodded and invited very warmly.

“I’m very happy.” Andri was not panicked at all, which made Jiro Ishida secretly admire Andri’s reaction.

Such an unknown friend is a trouble for intelligence workers, a trouble that may expose their identities.

Even if it is an enemy’s plan, it is not a simple trouble of exposing their identities. If you are not careful, you will face death, and there may even be major problems in intelligence work.

At this time, Andri’s very calm attitude, in Jiro Ishida’s view, means that he has long anticipated the person he introduced.

But it is normal to think that the other party can contact me, so he must have investigated me and the people around him in detail. In this way, Ijiro’s childhood playmate Murakami Sanan will naturally be included in the investigation of Australasia.

As expected, after entering the house, Andri did not show any surprise when he saw Murakami Sanan in the house. Instead, as expected, he said to Murakami Sanan with a smile: “I have heard of your name for a long time, Mr. Murakami.”

“Have you heard of me?” Murakami Sanan asked with some surprise.

“Of course, General Anke of the Royal Military Academy in Melbourne mentioned you to me. He praised you as the best among all the military students from the island countries.” Andri explained with a smile.

“I see.” Uemura Sanan nodded and got a little closer to Andri.

Military students are definitely the most special among all the students from the island countries, and the proportion is also the smallest among all the students.

According to the current statistics of all universities in Australasia, the number of international students each year is about 2,200, which is still quite large.

However, about 1,200 of them are from the sphere of influence of Australasia, namely the Philippines, Kalimantan, the United Kingdom of the West Coast and the Kingdom of California.

The remaining 1,000 or so are other international students from around the world, of which about 400 are from Asia.

Excluding international students from the Philippines and other four countries, among the remaining 1,000 international students, less than one-tenth are military students, and the rest are from ordinary universities.

This is normal. Military academies in Australasia can be exposed to some relatively advanced technologies, which also means that all military academy students must serve in the Australasia army for two years, limiting the number of military students.

At the same time, military academies also have very strict requirements for international students. Even if it is just the most ordinary one, it is definitely a relatively outstanding one among the international students.

“Mr. Jingxia, do you have any plans now?” After the two sides exchanged greetings, Andre looked at Jingjiro and asked with a smile.

Although Murakami Sanan is a military student in Australasia, Jingjiro is obviously more important in this conversation.

Jiro Ino is not only a well-known anti-war activist in Hokkaido, but his father was also sentenced to prison for opposing the island government’s war.

If Jiro Ino can get the support of Jiro Ino, the island anti-war party prepared by Australasia will be able to successfully complete the first step.

Hearing Andri’s question, Jiro Ino nodded slowly, but did not give a positive answer, but asked his own question: “If I agree with your country’s request, can you stop bombing the island country?”

Andri continued to smile and said: “I’m sorry, Mr. Ino, this is not something I can decide.

But I can guarantee that if our plan can succeed, then our bombing will definitely stop.

War is not Australasia’s pursuit, I believe you also understand this truth.”
