Chapter 806: Akashi's Great Fool
In fact, Wang Guorui also thought about destroying this Japan directly, but then he gave up. Because he knew that it would not be easy to destroy Japan, and the key was what kind of price to pay. Wang Guorui knows that the Japanese are very crazy and extreme, and they are very easy to be very extreme. Their rapid rise in the Meiji Restoration also relied on this kind of extremism, because this kind of extremism can make them work together towards the same goal, so that even if tens of millions of fools work together in one direction, then any country and nation will develop successfully. However, they also lost in this kind of extremism, they are very stubborn about foreign expansion, they have been expanding towards China, and even after the decline has occurred, they are not willing to give up. So they end up losing, gambling and losing nothing.
Later, the Americans also deeply realized the tenacity of the Japanese, and the Americans suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Iwo Jima, and at that time they had to give up the idea of sending troops to occupy all of Japan. So they chose to use nuclear bombs to force them to surrender, because the Americans could not accept to pay such a large price in casualties.
And now Wang Guorui is also afraid that he will take the initiative to attack, and in the end he will force the Japanese to jump over the wall in a hurry, which is not good. Wang Guorui wants to completely destroy Japan, and I am afraid that he will not be able to destroy Japan without sending a million troops. At present, Wang Guorui's troops in the whole country are only less than 800,000 new-style troops, and such a small number of troops are overstretched to defend the whole country, how can it be possible to open up foreign countries? And if all the elite troops of the whole country were sent to destroy Japan, it would be very risky. If there is a vacuum in the domestic military force and those decadent forces take the opportunity to restore again, it will be a great headache.
And if they send a million troops to attack Japan at that time, will Western countries take the opportunity to sneak attack? When the time comes, there will be a vacuum of domestic forces. It's easy for foreigners to mess around. So naturally he didn't dare to send troops to attack Japan, the risk was too great.
At present, although Wang Guorui seems to have a lot of troops, there are not many new armies that can be trusted. The new army is only 800,000, and there are many more that really want to expand training. Although a lot of local troops have been incorporated, what Eight Banners, what Green Battalion or something. Whether they are loyal or not remains to be tested. It is impossible for Wang Guorui to let his descendants go out and let these sideline troops take charge of their own country. Without the suppression of the descendants, it is also a question whether those collateral troops will be half-hearted.
So only by letting those descendants expand their ranks as soon as possible, can they say anything else! This is also the reason why Wang Guorui expanded too quickly, and there were not enough troops to suppress the place. Because Wang Guorui almost swallowed the mainland, this will inevitably bring a lot of insufficient troops, and it is inevitable that the old army will be absorbed. It is still impossible to trust the old army very much at present, so it is impossible to attack Japan when the descendants of the army are not expanded enough.
"Your Majesty. In fact, the minister had an idea, and if he wanted to save North Korea, it was not so easy. But I have a solution! Akashi Genjiro said.
"What's the solution?" Emperor Meiji asked.
Genjiro Akashi immediately replied: "Actually, it's simple, we can be in Tuntian, North Korea." We can recruit a large number of army troops, send them to North Korea separately, and then let them camp there and feed themselves. And then also for military service. In this way, not only can we have a large number of troops in North Korea, but then we can also reduce the pressure on transportation. Even we can build some military industry in the DPRK. This way we can ensure that weapons can be obtained nearby. Our navy is now destroyed, so let's not expect us to be able to pass by sea. While we are not yet blockaded by the Chinese navy, we should quickly transfer part of the industry to the past, so that we can gain a foothold as soon as possible. If we can't get on our feet as soon as possible, then we will definitely be in danger next. ”
However, everyone thinks that this is the best way to do it. At present, he wants to resist Wang Guorui's seizure of North Korea. There is only one way, and that is to send a large number of Japanese over as soon as possible, which can also make them responsible for suppressing the local Korean rebellion, and then they can also live there for a long time and tuntian. It is even necessary to send a part of the military industry over so that the arms can be produced as much as possible. This method was in the case of the destruction of the Qing Dynasty by the Japanese Navy. An idea that has to be a last resort. 、
But there is also a very huge risk in this way, that is, it will create two giants. At that time, this North Korea will be another Japan, almost separated by an ocean. Once a large number of people and materials and industrial systems are sent over, this will not cause a lot of trouble. When the time comes, what if the person who was sent to Korea has a different heart, then what if he betrays Emperor Meiji at that time? Will they take the opportunity to become independent and split with Japan?
With land, population, and an industrial system, isn't that what a country is made of? So Emperor Meiji also muttered in his heart, will there be a problem then? So I'm afraid it will cause a lot of problems at that time, and this will worry Emperor Meiji too. Any emperor is often suspicious, especially an excellent emperor, who is more suspicious. Emperor Meiji is definitely one of the best emperors in Japanese history, and this is something that no one can deny, even Wang Guorui must admit. In later generations, he even became one of the 100 people who changed the history of mankind, which is enough to show how powerful Emperor Meiji was.
And the Meiji Emperor went from being a puppet emperor to reinvigorating an imperial family that had been a puppet for almost a thousand years and regaining power, this is definitely not a simple person. Even if Wang Guorui thinks that if he doesn't have a red alert system and develops on his own, then he is likely to be beaten as a grandson by this Meiji Emperor, this Wang Guorui will not deny it. But the more powerful and powerful the monarch, the more suspicious he often becomes. He is very suspicious of others, very easy to doubt the loyalty of others, and this is the characteristic of ancient monarchs. There are very few monarchs who can really trust others.
"Your Majesty, the minister knows your worries, but the minister thinks that this is the only way to do it at present. The emperor, the minister said a heart-wrenching word, as long as North Korea can be saved, the rotten meat is also rotten in the pot, and there is still a chance to redeem it. It's a big deal, let the emperor send a royal general to take up the post, so that it can be safer. But if you lose it, then it's useless to say anything! Akashi Genjiro said.
Listening to Akashi Genjiro's very unkind words, everyone was shocked, this Akashi Genjiro really dared to say anything! And Emperor Meiji's face changed suddenly, and then after a few good changes, he finally sighed helplessly.
"What Akashi said, that also has some truth. As long as North Korea can be saved, even if the meat is rotten, it will be rotten in the pot and will not reach the hands of outsiders. As long as it is not in the hands of outsiders, even if there is a possibility, there is a chance to make up for it. But if you lose it, it's really a complete loss. I didn't have to give up just in case. Anyway, the rotten meat is rotten in the pot, don't worry too much! Emperor Meiji said.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone said together.
Next, Emperor Meiji assigned Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa to be in charge of the affairs of this Korea, especially in charge of the transfer of the army, as well as the army tuntian, so that they also expanded step by step. It can be said that this Prince Noehisa of the Northern Shirakawa Palace has directly mastered this North Korea and has become the emperor of North Korea. Of course, such a powerful place cannot be handed over to outsiders to be in charge, so it must be handed over to the royal family. And this Kita-Shirakawa Palace can be considered good for a long time. According to the original history, he died in Taiwan, because the Japanese army attacked Taiwan, and died in Taiwan's water and soil miasma. However, this time they were not able to conquer Taiwan, which allowed the North Shirakawa Palace to survive for a long time, and the health was so healthy that it became more and more cheerful, and the military rank was promoted to general, so now it is sent to be in charge of North Korean affairs.
"Your Majesty, the courtier hopes to be able to serve as the chief of staff of His Royal Highness the Prince, so that I can assist His Royal Highness against the Chinese. The minister thought that the minister had dealt with Wang Guorui a lot, so the minister thought that the minister was familiar with Wang Guorui and China. And if the minister can help His Excellency the prince by the prince's side, it is also a good intelligence staff officer. Akashi Genjiro said.
That Kita-Shirakawa Miyano heard Akashi's words for a long time, and took the initiative to answer: "Your Majesty, just let General Akashi go with me, I believe that I will cooperate well with him." ”
When Kita-Shirakawa Palace Nengjiu was in Taiwan at the time, he felt a good influence on Akashi Genjiro, and he also helped him. But later, Akashi Genjiro directly accepted the emperor's support, so that Kita-Shirakawa Palace didn't say anything for a long time. But it's good to be able to cooperate this time, so it's more enjoyable to work together in the future. And this Akashi Genjiro is still very young, and he is still one of the leaders of the Imperial Road faction in the Japanese Army, so he is naturally willing to help, which can be regarded as a good fate.
"Okay, since you ask for it, then let Akashi be your chief of staff!" Emperor Meiji said.
When Akashi Genjiro took the initiative to bow and salute, no one saw a wicked smile on Akashi Genjiro's mouth. (To be continued.) )
