Japanese troops stationed in China surrender (1)

 It was in late February 1945. At that time, Japan's defeat reached a decisive stage. Around that time, secret operations were taking place on the mainland to smuggle the ball to Moscow with Konoe Fumima on the line of Soviet Ambassadors Matsuoka and Malik to arrange a power outage with the United States. However, just around that time, even in China, the headquarters of the most stubborn Gina dispatched country on the surface was actually preparing for the Duke of Hwapyeong in high secret. It was Takeo Imai, who was famous for his secret work with Lieutenant General Shibayama and Shibasa in China even within the Army. At that time, Director Imai was in a key position as the chief of staff at the General Command of the Gina Dispatch Forces. The secret operation began when Lieutenant General Yang, who was the younger brother of General Yang Deung-il, who served as Chief of Staff of the Namgyeong Government Army, secretly arranged to meet a masked officer named Iyo. At that time, Colonel Lee Yo was competing with the Japanese army on the front lines in northern Hobukseong Fortress and southern Hanamseong Fortress. Under the command of General Ha Joo-guk, commander of the Chinese Army's 10th bulb commander and general commander of the 15th Group Army, he was a secret operative in Namgyeong to negotiate peace with Japan under the order of General Ha. Lieutenant General Yang asked Major General Imai to meet Colonel Imai because he said, "If you are Imai, you can say it." General Commander Ha Ju-guk is eager to take on the role of negotiations with Japan for peace of mind. Of course, the story has already been told with Chairman Jang Gae-seok. Please meet with Commander Ha." Colonel Lee has told Major General Imai a secret interview with Hajuguk. Imai, this meeting was held several times in the secret room of the Imai mission. In late April, when the cherry blossoms of the General Military Command were falling, the story was established. Major General Imai's willingness to enter the short enemy territory and agree on peace with General General Ha Ju-guk was decided. However, contact between Colonel Lee and General Ha was rarely reached. Even if the headquarters of Hajuk is called through the secret radio of the Namkyung government forces, no opponent will come out. Colonel Lee's face was filled with nervousness and pessimism. In mid-May, colonel Lee finally set out to contact Ha Command. For about two weeks after that, there was also a sound of criticism inside the general army. I wonder if Colonel Lee Yo was a real lion or whether he was deceived. However, Director Imai was confident. I'm sure you'll hear from me. In mid-June, a radio call was finally received from Colonel Lee. The General Commander of Hajukuk is willing to talk to General Imai, the representative of the General Army. The location is the location of the new state's Hajukuk General Command in the south of Jugu, southeastern Hanam Province. The date of the interview is 2 a.m. on July 9." As the date was finally imminent, there was also a strong opposition within the general army as to whether to meet with Ha Joo-guk or what to do. The general army was at a significant political crossroads. Japan's defeat is inevitable. If you can overcome the situation through an interview, you will have to try to overcome it. In order to protect the organization of the country, people, emperor of the emperor, politics, and military, it was the dawn of July 5 that Director Imai himself left Namgyeong for Shinchamju, the venue of the conference. However, the plane crash-landed in Bangbu. I spent the day repairing the plane here. And around the evening of the 6th, he managed to open Hanam Fortress, flew to Biseong on the 7th, and arrived at Jugu by truck from the 8th. On the morning of the 9th, he finally broke through the guard ship of Pia Yanggun and departed for his destination, New Chamju. Major General Imai, General Gondo, and Interpreter Xingay took off their military uniforms and changed into Chinese clothes and disguised themselves as complete Chinese. The Japanese guard ship was simply passed because it had been in secret contact in advance, but after that, there were finally a few. If you meet a guerrilla unit on the way and are attacked, you will die. There is a sharp mixture of responsibility with the name of the company and anxiety over what it might be. However, there is no human shadow even in Kado Island. It's completely unmanned. About 10 kilometers to walk. I met a humble Chinese man dragging a cart. "Is the newcomer still a long way to go?" He finds a wagonman and asks for directions. "It's still 10 li in Isuro, China. How about riding a cart?" Smilingly, the wagonman says, pulling out two paper notes from his arms. One paper note is an identification certificate for residents of the Japanese occupation zone, and another is an identification certificate for China. He was a witty man who was doing business between the Japanese occupation zone and the Chinese side. As if this was Anseongma dance, he was used as a guide and got on the cart. There are private houses in Kado-do, but people are not seen. It went about 10 kilometers. Suddenly, in a small forest, there was Suha saying, "Stop!" It's an enemy guard ship. He replied, "I'm General Imai from Namgyeong to have an interview with General Commander Ha Ju-guk." Perhaps he had contacted him in advance, but the sentry put the aimed gun on his side and began to take the lead silently. After a while, you can see the streets of newcomers. About 20 soldiers with trumpets are lined up at the front door of the street. As the four members of the party reach him, an officer who seems to be a commander shouts, "Attention!" Then, more than 20 soldiers took an unwavering posture and took the trumpet to their mouth. Under the guidance of an officer, he entered the command. It was noon on the 9th.   The command guides you to a simple thatched house prepared to bathe. Even if it was a bath, it was a simple thing with warm water in a large container, but I feel warm hearted by General Ha's consideration to recover from the fatigue of the trip. At 2 p.m. that day, there was finally a historic interview at the General Commander's Office. Lee Mi-yi opened her mouth first. "Can we directly negotiate peace of exchange with Japan and China?" What do you think?" Ha Joo-guk was told. "China-Japan independent peace negotiations cannot be held." Japan should negotiate peace and peace with the Allies. However, the main building will not be stingy in expressing Japan's intention to Chairman Jang Gae-seok to hold a peace negotiation between the allied country and Japan. Show me what the terms of peace and peace in Japan are." "Of course, the main building is not an official representative of Japan. If I know the terms of peace and peace on the part of China, I would like to report my intention to the government of my home country with the intention of the General Command of the Chinese dispatched forces. The absolute condition of Japan's peace and peace conditions is to protect Japan's national territory, people, and the national body including the emperor. Regarding the handling of the South Gyeongsang government and Manchuria, the Japanese side is willing to take leniency with the best enthusiasm." "Repeatedly, China cannot respond to the sole negotiations with Japan. The terms of peace and peace have already been decided between the Allies. One of them is the grandmother of Korea, Taiwan, Sakhalin, and Shishima. However, Chairman Jang Gae-seok is deeply considering the subordination of the Emperor of the Empire. Chairman Jang never hopes that Japan will be destroyed by defeat. Rather, I know that we should hope for the existence of Japan and democratic development. That's why the Chinese side is trying to preserve Japan's national identity. The decision has already been made only to relocate and dismantle Japanese territory." "The main building is not the official representative of Japan. I'd like to report to General Okamura, report to the Japanese government, and then have an interview again." "I'll report this interview to Chairman Jang Gae-seok. Then, let's promise a re-interview." Interviews were held three times before and after the war. However, the negotiations ended with the limitation that both sides were not official representatives and that they would report to each other without departing from the realm of searching only for each other's intentions due to the justification of a secret preliminary negotiation.
