Season 5 Peace Journey Chapter 14 Behind-the-Scenes Deals

Tang Yunyang sent Du Yuesheng to Situ Meideng, and from a certain point of view, the "Zhonghua Association" will naturally become a potential force in the hands of the Chinese government because of the background of the previous bigwigs.

Although on the surface, they will not confront any country, even in the eyes of ordinary people who do not know the truth. They are Chinese groups with deep pockets and enthusiasm for public welfare.

But once organized, such groups are somewhat like the Junker landlords who overthrew "old Germany" during Hitler's New Deal in Germany, or the family business trusts that Roosevelt's New Deal overthrew in the United States.

Those will be some of the scenarios that will often occur in the next two decades in order to alleviate social unrest and economic crisis. As for what will happen to the "Chung Wah Association" at that time, that's a story later.

But now, when Tang Yunyang came to Nancy City in a private capacity, some crises with the same "long-term vision" were brewing.

As mentioned earlier, Japan now seems to have been completely subdued.

What about the facts?

The fact is that the subjugation of a nation can hardly be completely subdued without more than a century of cultural changes. For example, the Mongols and the Manchus ruled over China. Although it has gone through quite iron-blooded means, although it has passed through dozens of emperors, it will still rebel, and national independence will almost inevitably happen.

For example, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and South American countries have all pursued their own independence under the rule of their suzerains. It can only be said that national independence is an inevitable thing.

Just like India, which was ruled by the British for a long time, rule without fair social rights will not last forever. This viewpoint, on the other hand, can also show that the colonial methods of some modern countries are very advanced and have achieved good results.

For example, the collusion between Japan and the United States is illustrative of the combination of iron-blooded measures and then relatively fair economic and political aspects. Today's Japan seems to be rich and independent, but in fact it is just a fat and strong dog in the hands of the United States to threaten the Chinese.

The author was once told that Japan had the ability to build nuclear weapons in a week. Then the author can say that both China and the United States can destroy Japan dozens of times in an hour, and this is probably the difference between a man and a dog.

So will Japan always be willing to be America's dog?

No! But at this stage, in the face of the rapid rise of China, the status of dogs, they have to continue to be. Eternal neutrality is the only position in which Japan can safely exist and develop permanently. Otherwise, the next time the war breaks out, the result of Japan will still be self-evident.

Without Tang Yunyang's good fortune and comfort, the Japanese negotiators to France still arrived by steamer. At this time, except for Tang Yunyang, a "problem bandit", and the French president who accepted his gift and had his own landline. Including U.S. President Woodrow. Wilson arrived in France by steamer.

Hara himself, presumably to express his gratitude to the heads of the Entente for giving them so many favors for such consideration of Japan's merits, arrived in France with a rather large delegation. However, to his displeasure, after the welcome ceremony at the airport, they saw the European newspapers and heard the radio here.

They even gave themselves a good nickname - cooks.

After all, under the report of the radio stations originally established and controlled by Tang Yunyang in France, Britain, and the United States, the name of the Japanese "human meat kitchen" has already been decided. Now, if Japanese expatriates do not join the "Chung Hwa Kaikan" and accept control, and they are branded as Koreans or Chinese or other Orientals, they will not be able to find jobs.

After all, politicians are in the absolute minority in this world, and the truth is nothing more than a lie that has been repeated a thousand times. Moreover, the police and courts in the United States have confirmed that this incident is indeed true. Although, now Europe and the Americas have completely opened up the establishment of radio stations because of the end of the war.

However, the BBC in London, the Voice of Libre in France, and the Voice of America have remained successful in the mainstream media for a long time.

"Mr. Prime Minister, now is the time for us to show weakness to China, but I don't think we can forever bow the noble head of our Yamato nation to them!"

If you don't understand the true origin of this guy, you can't believe that such a guy will be accepted into his account by Yuan Jing. Who is he? He is Nagao Ariga.

Some people say, isn't Hara Kei a representative of Japan's democratic faction? Why would he tolerate such a standard "militarist" element on his side?

In fact, this is nothing more than a misunderstanding of the so-called democrats. The democrats are not angels, they still take into account the fundamental interests of their own nation and country, if they are expected to be inclined to their nation or country, isn't it like expecting Lord Yama to take care of life or death?

Compared with Masaki Terauchi, who was full of war cries and caused great disasters to Japan, Hara Kei is a reserved person. He does not express his opinions lightly, especially in the name of democracy, and listening is a suitable disguise.

"In any case, the situation in the country is so precarious right now. The victims still need to be resettled, and the war reparations on the Chinese side cannot be stopped, so our country needs stronger cohesion and stronger creativity! ”

Hara Kei didn't seem interested in Ariga Nagao's gunpowder-filled words, as if to show others that he was a pacifist. At the moment, he is only concerned with the unstable situation in Japan.

Neither the millions of victims of the war before the previous Sino-Japanese Kotojima Treaty nor the damage caused by the recent Great Kanto Earthquake brought down the government under Hara. On the contrary, while the Japanese Government is working hard, the current Japanese Government, which aims at peace and development, is even more loved by the people, and an unprecedented cohesion is displayed in Japan.

France and Great Britain, after dividing up the German fleet, handed over to Japan an almost complete part of the German home fleet. It also included two early blueprints for the future Bismarck-class battleships, the Mackensen-class battlecruisers, which were not completed due to the war.

These four semi-built ships will be sold to Japan as scrap metal. In addition, the German fleet will deliver as many as 10 battleships, 10 cruisers, and 44 destroyers to Japan, and reorganize the Japanese Navy for the sake of permanent peace in Asia and regional military balance.

As a reparation to China, the amount of war reparations amounted to 100 times the amount of 230 million taels of silver reparated in accordance with the Sino-Japanese War indemnity during the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Speaking of which, this is still to blame for the slow response of the Japanese government, which does not pay 10 times, but has to pay 100 times.

Someone said that Japan is so easy to fight? At that time, Japan was ...... at the same time.

Look at how the United States in Iraq, completely in control of the sky, fought against the Iraqi army. And what kind of scene was it in the first Gulf War, the road of death that wiped out the elite armored units of the Iraqi army.

Whoever masters the sky masters the world!

For now, this is the truth!

However, in the long run—

If this sentence is still applicable now, then I am afraid that in 50 years, whoever masters the low-earth orbit will master the world.

As we all know, Tang Yunyang coveted some of the warships in the German fleet. But how to get hold of these warships under the noses of Britain, France, and the United States is really a science.

Moreover, as far as Tang Yunyang's naval commander Lucknar was concerned, the Japanese warships were naturally inferior to the German ones. If he could get his hands on these warships, he would be willing to return them to the Japanese. It is estimated that Britain and France will not be able to stop such an exchange even if they find out in the future.

Moreover, there are people in Japan who are willing to do this, especially Hara Kei and Nagao Ariga who can talk about it together, and it will do no harm to Japan in doing so.

This point cannot help but make some people ask, how can the two people talk about the same thing, one is the main battle faction, and the other side is the so-called democratic faction? As mentioned earlier, the democrats are by no means angels, and in the final analysis, for the sake of the next election, it is still necessary to pay attention to domestic interests as the first priority.

Especially after Yuan Jing received the news from the Chinese side, the two were really able to talk together.

This news was nothing other than to expose the intentions of Britain and France in giving Japanese and German warships, and added to the telegram a threatening tone such as "it may harm peace in Asia." For Tang Yunyang, who now has mastered the Asian sky, the threat of "problem bandits", whoever doesn't take it seriously will be a fool, but Yuan Jing is not a fool.

"Your Excellency, showing weakness does not mean admitting defeat. In my estimation, the reason why the Chinese wanted those German battleships was simply because of superstition about German weapons and equipment, and at the same time, in their army, because of their relationship with Kaiser Wilhelm III, it is understandable that they wanted these German battleships.

In particular, they were willing to return the Japanese warships in exchange for these German warships and provide partial compensation on the condition that they were equal in number. Most importantly, we told them that we Japanese had no more demand for weapons technology, so that it would not arouse their suspicions.

Therefore, I built to meet their requirements, and as for the technology of the Germans, we can send people on board to understand this batch of warships while they are still on the way. I believe that by the time the battleship arrives in China, we will already have a complete understanding! ”

At first glance, such a proposal seems a little unbelievable, but they all know that Tang Yunyang's thoughts are not quite the same as others. As for his willingness to pay a certain amount of monetary compensation in addition to this, this is a very attractive condition for the Japanese. Chapter 14 Behind-the-Scenes Deals
