Washington, USA, White House.
It¡¯s seven o¡¯clock in the morning Nanjing time, which is almost six o¡¯clock in the evening Washington time.
U.S. President Roosevelt had just finished dinner. A female secretary pushed him in a wheelchair and sent him to a small conference room for a meeting. The meeting was to discuss a new scrap steel agreement with the Japanese government.
The United States has been exporting scrap steel to Japan. Especially in recent years, Japan's demand for scrap steel has become increasingly large, so it secretly bribed several members of Congress to propose a review of the scrap steel agreement with the Japanese government. , to put it bluntly, it means relaxing the amount restrictions on scrap steel exports to Japan.
Roosevelt knew that the steel tycoon Carnegie was behind this proposal.
Because the steel tycoon Carnegie was involved, Roosevelt did not dare to neglect and decided to hold a staff meeting overnight.
However, as soon as Roosevelt's wheelchair reached the door of the Oval Office, a young clerk walked up to Roosevelt with a folder and said: "Your Excellency, the President, the U.S. Minister to China Johnson and the Military Attach¨¦ to China Stilwell Colonel, an urgent telegram has just been sent jointly, please read it."
"Really?" Roosevelt waved his hand and said, "What did they say?"
"It's not a big deal." The young clerk said, "I just talked about a small battle in the Sino-Japanese War. It seems that the Chinese army annihilated 20,000 Japanese troops in Nanjing. This is not a big deal, but Mr. Johnson still has history. Colonel Dewey, made it sound like it was a big deal."
When Roosevelt heard this, his eyes showed surprise.
After a moment, Roosevelt said: "Young man, this is no small matter."
When the female secretary was about to continue pushing Roosevelt to the small conference room, Roosevelt suddenly waved his hand and said: "Missy, there is no need to go to the small conference room. Tell the Secretariat again that the meeting at six o'clock tonight has been cancelled. As for the waste with Japan, Steel trade will still follow the original agreement."

It¡¯s seven o¡¯clock in the morning Nanjing time, which is almost twelve o¡¯clock in the evening Berlin time.
Although it was already late at night, the head of state was still reviewing documents.
The military operations against Hungary and Czechoslovakia will soon be launched in full swing. As the head of the German Third Reich, he naturally has a lot of things to do.
After finally finishing reviewing the piles of documents on his desk, the head of state was about to get up and make a cup of coffee when the secretary walked in with another folder and said: "Your Excellency, the great head of state, this is from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Report on the Japanese Army University¡¯s invitation to trainees from the Berlin Military Academy to Tokyo for observation and exchange.¡±
"An invitation from the Eastern Allies?" the head of state said, "Bring it over and let me have a look."
Hearing this, the secretary opened the folder and handed over the document inside.
The head of state quickly read the document and was about to sign when another secretary came in and whispered: "Your Excellency, the head of state, the Japanese army just suffered a huge defeat on the Chinese battlefield!"
"Oh, really?" the head of state said, "What's going on?"
Later, the secretary told the news heard on the radio.
After hearing this, the head of state immediately put down his pen and said to his former secretary: "The plan for Berlin Military Academy students to go to Tokyo Army University for observation and exchange has been put on hold. When will our Eastern allies be good enough, we will send students to Tokyo again, as for now? , or exempted."

Tokyo, the Imperial Palace.
It¡¯s about seven o¡¯clock in the morning in Nanjing time, almost eight o¡¯clock in the morning in Tokyo time.
At this time, it had been more than half an hour since the imperial meeting ended. Most of the military and political officials such as Konoe Fumimaro had left. Only Shun Tada, the deputy chief of staff of the base camp, was left in the imperial palace by Hirohito.
At this moment, Hirohito and Tada Shun were listening to the radio.
What I¡¯m listening to is the Voice of Nanjing from the China Central News Agency.
Neither of them understand Japanese, so there is a special Chinese translator next to them.
The Chinese translator listened to the radio and translated into Japanese: "13 Type 92 70mm caliber infantry guns were seized."
¡°24 Meiji 38-type 75mm caliber field howitzers were seized.¡±
¡°Eleven Meiji 38-type 105mm caliber field howitzers were seized.¡±
¡°34 Meiji 38-type 150mm caliber field howitzers were seized.¡±
"That's enough, stop translating!" Hearing this, Hirohito really couldn't stand listening, because listening to the numbers one by one, it was like stabbing a knife into his heart again and again, and each time the knife was stabbed deeper and deeper. !
"Hai!" the Chinese translator shouted at Hirohito, then bowed and exited the palace.House.
Hirohito breathed a long sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to Tada Jun, and said quietly: "Tada Jun, I finally made up my mind to let NHK Broadcasting Station continue to broadcast the Battle of Nanjing live. As a result, the imperial army immediately suffered so much in Nanjing. A big defeat. Now I really don¡¯t know whether the previous decision was right or wrong?
"Your Majesty, this is all my fault," Tada Shun said hurriedly. "If I hadn't made the mistake of temporarily suggesting a live broadcast, your Majesty wouldn't have had to deal with it at all. Therefore, this is all my fault."
Hirohito waved his hand and said, "Tada-kun, that's not what I meant."
After a pause, Hirohito added: "The live broadcast is actually a very good idea, because facts have proven that this can not only greatly unite the morale of the frontline soldiers, but also unite the will of the people across the country! This has made the entire Japanese Empire right up to the imperial family , down to every family, united as one, we are even more indestructible!"
"Hai!" Shun Tada paused and said, "I understand, we should selectively broadcast live broadcasts. From now on, we will only broadcast live battles that are certain to be won, and try to avoid those battles where the outcome is unpredictable."
"Soga." Hirohito nodded lightly and said, "But the battle to capture Nanjing cannot be avoided! Because this battle has attracted widespread international attention, the President of the United States and the German head of state already know about it! The United States even because of this battle The scrap steel negotiations with the Empire were canceled, and Germany also canceled the planned military exchanges.¡±
"Baga!" Tada Jun gritted his teeth and said, "This time the empire is really embarrassed!"
Waving his hand, Hirohito continued: "So, no matter whether the outcome of the Battle of Nanjing is victory or defeat, no matter how much the Imperial Japanese Army pays, NHK Radio must broadcast the entire process live!"
In a word, Hirohito is now shouldering the responsibility with Zhong Yi and the 367th Regiment!
He doesn¡¯t believe it anymore. Even with all the efforts of the whole country, can¡¯t we destroy the 367th Regiment?
Jun Tada said solemnly: "Your Majesty, do you mean to truthfully report the results to the whole country?"
"Broadcast the results truthfully, report as much as you have lost, and don't hide anything!" Hirohito nodded heavily, and then said, "The empire has accumulated strength for nearly a hundred years. I don't believe that losing a mere local war can lead to the loss of the country's destiny? Can we stop the empire's rising trend?"
