"Who ordered the shot?" The blood vessels on Nagata Tieshan's forehead bulged, and the look on his face was quite hideous. What made Nagata Tieshan angry was not that he killed some ordinary people, but that someone dared to disobey and shoot directly.

Okamura Ninji didn't want to say so much, but he went to the scene instead. In the snow, the black pressure of thousands of people petitioning appeared in the field of vision from far to near, and the feeling of oppression was really indescribable.

Without continuing to lose his temper, Nagata Tetsuyama ordered: "Let the newspapers publish articles that are mixed with traitors who intend to murder the emperor, and call on those good people who participated in the parade to report and expose them!" ”

After listening to this, Okamura Ninji asked, "Do you want to focus on arresting people?" ”

Nagata Tieshan shook his head, "Don't use it for the time being, first transfer the first division to Sakhalin Island as soon as possible." ”

This action is clearly led by the Imperial Dao faction, and the thinking behind it is quite easy to understand. The unification faction wants to unite the ruling class in Japan and reach a unified system. The Imperial Way faction wants to overthrow the current ruling class in Japan and start over. Who are the "bad guys" in these petitions? Isn't it the current ruling class in Japan? This is not the time to intensify the conflict, but a good time to show that the establishment is capable of controlling the situation.

When the royal faction learned that the order for the transfer of the 1st Division to Sakhalin remained unchanged, the insiders blew up the nest. For Japan, Hokkaido is already a bitter cold place, and Sakhalin Island further north is a difficult place. Everyone has been in Tokyo for a long time, and no one wants to go to Sakhalin. This is not a transfer, this is exile.

The shooting of the soldiers at the petitioning Japanese people was also a big event in the eyes of the Imperial Sect. Emotionally, the soldiers were quite supportive of the petitioners, believing that they were saying what they wanted to say. They asked the emperor to come forward to clean up the chaos in Japan, so why did they shed blood in front of the Imperial Palace?

"Is the emperor the emperor of the Japanese people? Or are they puppets in the hands of dignitaries? This argument became more and more appealing among the First Division, and even among those who were very dissatisfied with the current situation in Japan. In Japan's feudal era, no ordinary person dared to disturb the emperor. In this era of industrialization, the lower classes of Japan increasingly wanted political power. It is likely that they themselves have not figured out what they think, and since the emperor is the legal source of power in Japan, why can't the lower classes get power from the emperor?

Bei Yihui can understand the thoughts of these people, and it is precisely because of this understanding that Bei Yihui feels mixed feelings. Of course, he hoped that the revolution would succeed, but the success of the revolution would not have been possible without the people really organizing. The revolution could only succeed if the entire lower strata of Japan were united. The control faction has gradually united the upper strata, and the movement of the lower strata in Japan has not even moved from spontaneous to conscious.

These days, there has been a lot of news coming back from the branches of the various places that Kita Ichiki has been operating in recent years, and most people have already learned about this petition to the emperor, and most of the people have reacted quite surprised. The direct meeting of the emperor by the people was a novelty and excitement in the eyes of the Japanese, and even a bit of a "great rebellion". Of course, the phrase "the emperor of the Japanese people" has also stimulated many Japanese people. Let them start thinking about this possibility.

On the contrary, the petitioner was shot and killed, and then the efforts of the military department to publicize that there were people in the petition team who intended to be unfavorable to the emperor, these statements were in line with the cowardice of the Japanese people. The people did not dare to fight for their own power in the face of the big men, they thought that their power was too small to confront those people. This is indeed the case. But if you never fight for it, you will never get power. Because power is never something that can be given by others, but needs to be won by oneself.

In the midst of such chaos, new news finally came out. Prime Minister Takahashi Kiyoshi decided to disarm at the latest cabinet meeting. This plan is reasonable on the whole, and Japan will reduce the army to nine divisions and two brigades. The navy is based on a 66th fleet as its current size. For the future of the dismantling of troops, Takahashi was preparing to rebuild a series of Japanese state-owned enterprises. Including electricity, transportation, food, and many other core enterprises, China's current economic layout is relatively consistent. After military personnel retire and work in these state-owned enterprises, the enterprises can get well-trained labor and the military can also get relatively stable employment opportunities.

This plan was supported by the Japanese bureaucracy, but was opposed by the upper echelons of the military and even the conglomerates. All kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, probably accusing Takahashi of Kiyoshi. The 1st Division, which did not want to go to Sakhalin in the first place, was particularly angry, and the officers believed that the dismantling of the army would most likely require a knife attack on the 1st Division.

Having seen China's powerful state-owned enterprises, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with them. In China, joining the military is a good path. Veterans have employment counseling and should be given jobs. Being able to work in a state-owned enterprise means a stable job and a stable life. As far as Bei Yihui knows, even if he finally chooses a retired soldier who works alone and opens a restaurant, as long as the taste is not bad, he can get the support of many old comrades-in-arms. In the first three years of retirement, if a military member wants to apply for technical training, such as going to university, or entering a technical school for training, or even applying for chef training, the state will exempt the retired military from tuition.

Whether Japan can really implement such a policy is what Kita Kazuki is worried about, and he is very supportive of the placement of retired military personnel.

Just when Bei Yihui put his strength into contacting the people in various places, An Teng Zhongzuo of the First Division came to find Bei Yihui, and he said anxiously: "Mr. Bei, the mood of the First Division is very fluctuating now. Last time, those young people were ready to make trouble again! ”

Kitaichi Huiden asked, "How many soldiers do they have?" How many soldiers did the 1st Division have? Do they really think that they can defeat the other fourteen divisions and the navy? ”

"Now not only the first division, but also other units have begun to connect in tandem." An Tenghui replied. As soon as the disarmament plan came out, everyone was at risk, and Japan's state-owned enterprises were not so easy to develop in the first place, and the military people did not believe that there was any possibility that such a plan could be implemented. In addition, it is not easy to settle down in a Japanese city. It's never enough to have a job.

"It's not the right time, no matter what they say, they can't move." Bei Yihui gave An Tenghui three death orders. The political competition is often not about who has the ability to win, but who can hold out to the end. The situation has reached such a point that there is no shortage of people jumping out at all. All it depends on who can make it to the end.

After persuading An Tenghui to be calm for a while, Bei Yihui couldn't help but think of Japan's neighbor China, "If Chen Ke was at this stage, how would he think about this matter?" ”

In Zhengzhou, China, Chen Ke also discussed with his comrades in the Politburo, "How will Bei Yihui take advantage of this situation?" ”

The fact that the fragile revolutionary actions of the Japanese people were shot is in itself a variable. First, the Japanese people rose up and tried, and secondly, this attempt was temporarily unsuccessful. Whether it is a dead flag or a more courageous battle, Chen Ke can't tell.

China's future policy can be said to be vacillating, and whether or not to go south is a central point at this time. The Dutch were dealt a heavy blow, making China feel the feasibility of going south.

"We don't have the advantage in the situation, and we can even say it's very uncomfortable." Pu Guanshui, who is also a member of the Politburo, gave a briefing on behalf of the military at the Politburo meeting, "The European and American sides occupy all the key points in the south. ”

On the map, French Indochina held back China's control of the South China Sea, and British East Malaysia was a powerful threat to China's ties with Borneo. China maintained good relations with its huge neighbor to the north, the Soviet Union, but only on the basis that the Soviet Union would not allow the British and American powers to attack China through Soviet territory. If China suffers a total defeat, when it comes to its own insecurity, the Soviet Union may not be able to stick a knife in the back.

"We can make a strong threat posture against the UK, and that's it. Attacking Burma and India by land would be a terrible logistical catastrophe. Pu Guanshui said very frankly, "If you want to go south with all your might, you must guard against Japan." If Japan becomes a springboard for Britain and the United States to attack China, our situation will be very passive. ”

Millions or even tens of millions of troops dominate the world, this is a military romanticism, but in reality it is a terrible thing. China has been building railways for more than 20 years, and in 36 years, it has finally built more than 100,000 kilometers of railways. The problem is that these 100,000 kilometers of railways are mainly distributed in the elite areas of China, not to mention the frontiers, and the section of the railway from Gansu to Xinjiang of the Guanglonghai Railway has encountered huge technical problems.

The Kra Canal, which China is being dug, has met with full opposition from the British. Once the Kra Canal was opened, the Chinese fleet could enter the Indian Ocean, and the British would never allow China to enter the Indian Ocean, which was Britain's backyard.

If you want to go south, you have to be sure that Japan will not attack China behind the scenes, at least until China fails. It's not something to be sure of.

After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the attitude of the United States made Chen Ke very alarmed. The United States was hostile to the new republican government, believing that the Soviet Union had been involved in the Spanish overthrow of the royal family in 1931. When the Civil War broke out, Secretary of State Codell 61 Hull banned all arms sales to the Spanish government, upholding a policy of neutrality, and the republican government obtained armaments from the Soviet Union. But U.S. civilian companies provided much support to both warring sides, with Texaco providing the National Army with 3.5 million tons of gasoline and providing indefinite loans, General Motors and Ford providing 12,000 trucks to the National Army, and DuPont selling a lot of ammunition to Franco.

The United States has made its position clear, that the contradictions between China and Britain are the same thing, and that the United States can still view the struggle between the two countries from the angle of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. If China intervenes directly in Japan's affairs, the attitude of the Americans is anything but not benevolent. In this regard, Chen Ke did not have optimistic considerations.

Is it going south? This strategic issue determines China's attitude toward Japan. If China does not go south, and is only satisfied with what it has so far, then China can completely calmly ease relations with its neighbors and concentrate on its own domestic work. If you want to go south, you have to make the situation around China more favorable.

To wait or not to wait, that's the question!
