"Rush forward!" Noda screamed as he glared at his prosthetic eyes.

In the smoke of mortars, thousands of indigenous people, led by dozens of Japanese soldiers, braved the smoke that had not dissipated and began to attack the magnificent Chinese-style high-walled courtyard.

After the Japanese Navy won a game on Fiji Island on the 15th, the Japanese in Southeast Asia had an all-night revelry, and as the special day of 918 approached, some Japanese began to go a little too far.

The Japanese had taken control of all of Southeast Asia and began to loot the wealth that had been amassed here for centuries.

In the course of the raids, the Japanese realized the fact that the wealth of the natives here was 108,000 miles worse than that of the Chinese.

After plundering most of the wealth of the Dutch, British and French, the Japanese could not help but covet the family business of the Chinese.

Due to the tacit understanding with the Chinese, the vanguard army would not bomb the Japanese mainland, and the Japanese would not easily plunder the Chinese in Southeast Asia.

At first, the Japanese were also satisfied that the Chinese did not make trouble and paid all kinds of taxes on time, but as time passed, the Japanese, who were troubled by the war economy, became more and more impatient with this method of milking, and gradually became jealous of the huge wealth of the Chinese.

Although the Japanese instigated the aborigines to deal with the Chinese from time to time, some Chinese organizations that relied on the umbrella and copycat companies united to arm themselves for self-protection, and even joined the international mercenary group, which thwarted the invasion of the aborigines again and again, and even directly hit the aborigines' nest for bloody revenge, only to make the local natives shrink their necks.

The Japanese didn't have much to do for a while. It was not until the news of the successive victories of the Japanese fleet, especially the naval victory in the Battle of Fiji, meant that the Japanese navy could confront the Americans head-on and still gain an advantage.

This news has given many Japanese people enough bile to do so.

"The Imperial Navy is invincible! White people are not afraid, will they be afraid of that person? Someone shouted.

"At the beginning, we were going to fight the British and the Americans, so we deliberately wanted to let the Chinese, and now we can no longer be afraid of them!" Naturally, the Japanese government at the time would not give in, and its tolerance of China was interpreted as the overall situation in Southeast Asia. This is also in line with the most powerful fairy tale psychology in the hearts of every Japanese.

At this time, since the Japanese navy was enough to block the Americans' cross-ocean attack, and the threat of the Americans was lacking, and the British at sunset were not afraid, there was no need to tolerate the Chinese.

There is a lot of information that these lower levels do not know, for example, the Japanese top level is still trying to negotiate with the Chinese people, and strive to buy a few more years. They just felt that the Japanese army had entered the realm of invincibility, and after successively defeating the British, the Dutch, the French, the Americans and many other powers, occupying Southeast Asia, nearly half of India, and most of the Australian continent, what about the Chinese people?

In particular, the armies of India and Australia have been plundered, but the wealth of the Chinese in Southeast Asia is not available.

Stimulated by the victory in the Fiji naval battle, on the day of 918, under the enthusiastic encouragement of some right-wing fanatics, some Japanese garrisons in Jakarta began to plan a large-scale riot and robbery against some Chinese, and even did not hesitate to personally send Japanese troops to appear.

In the Japanese military, there has always been a tradition of the following restraints, which may have been deliberately laid out as a political method at first, but after it became a trend, there were often some stupid self-actions.

After losing an eye in the Battle of Zhanggufeng, Noda has been teaching in China and has not encountered the vanguard. Until last year, he followed the Southern Army to the south to attack Southeast Asia, and sat on the position of a brigade commander under the 17th Army stationed in Jakarta.

Without experiencing the battle of the Vanguard Army, it is impossible to experience the feeling of being overwhelmed by bullets and death.

He has always been unconvinced by the cringe of his colleagues towards the Chinese Pioneer Army, and has always believed that the Japanese Army is the most powerful.

So in this riot, he took the lead in jumping out, not caring about the identity of the Chinese target, and blatantly came to a military raid that he was accustomed to.

"Why are you doing this? We are good citizens! In the firelight, on the three-story western-style building that had been mutilated, an old man's angry and trembling shout came out.

"You are spies of the Americans!" Noda touched his prosthetic eye and said disdainfully.

If you want to add sin, there is no excuse.

In fact, no matter what the reason, wealth is the original sin, and wealth without sufficient strength to protect it is easy to make people crazy.

This family surnamed Zhang is rich and rivals the country, but relying on his previous relationship with the Americans, he has never joined the Chinese self-protection circle of the Pioneer Army. Even though they actively contributed more taxes after the Japanese came, they also showed their white bellies.

Compared with those who are backed by companies such as cottages and have guns to protect themselves, Noda also knows how to pinch soft persimmons first.

The disobedience of the Chinese people is also very prominent in the Chinese people. Even if the vanguard army rose strongly with China, many people who had a poor sense of identity with the vanguard army were not only friendly to the Central Party and other domestic forces, but also many who were pro-British, pro-American, pro-Dutch, and pro-French, and even many who were friendly to Japan.

Many of these people are soft persimmons who have not been strongly armed and hope for peace in the face of external forces.

A big riot began to spread in Jakarta on the 18th.

……

"I didn't expect it to come so soon!" The violence on the 18th reached Meng Xiang's ears on the same day.

Meng Xiang had been prepared for the greed of the Japanese, but the suddenness of this riot surprised him.

Because this was not a plan by the Japanese high-level, it was just a move by the lower echelons, and even the spies did not know a lot of information. It was a little sudden, but Meng Xiang quickly learned the news through the complete intelligence network established there.

"I originally wanted to act in a play, but who knew that the little devil took the initiative to knock on the door to deliver the knife first!" Meng Xiang sighed that preparations for the war against Japan had already begun, and he was only waiting for the last opportunity.

Meng Xiang even arranged professional personnel to prepare to give the Japanese a bomb similar to Wicker Lake during this period of time. Who knew that the Japanese themselves made the first move and gave Meng Xiang an excellent excuse.

……

Late at night on September 18, in a room in the administrative building of Zhongdu, the lights were on all night.

"I agree!" Lao Jiang raised his right hand.

"I agree!" Wei Ren also raised his right hand.

The first foreign strategy meeting of the new Chinese coalition government has been held all day today, and the proposal of the model was unanimously adopted.

No one will oppose the war against Japan.

Moreover, the main force of the southward operation was the vanguard army, which did not consume the three group armies of Lao Chiang and the two group armies of the Red Party. Even if Dai Anlan and his 100,000-strong expeditionary army, Lao Jiang acquiesced to their own army after mixing part of the vanguard army, which was equivalent to the establishment of an additional group army.

After Meng Xiang privately promised that he would not send these 100,000 troops to the front cannon fodder, and would only use them to come to Jing'an, Lao Jiang took a tacit attitude.

After emphasizing that the cost of military spending would not be extracted from the people's taxes and would not increase the burden on the people, Wei Ren and Zong Li also glanced at each other and raised their hands in agreement.

At the top of the new Chinese regime, a 13-member system was adopted, with Lao Jiang and Song Qingling belonging to the Central Party and occupying two seats, Li Zongren also belonging to the Central Party and occupying one seat, Yan Xishan occupying one seat, Wei Ren occupying one seat, Zhou Bai, Tang Yaoshi, and Fan Chong each occupying one seat, Niu Yi, Rat Yi, and Yang Yi, the chief steward in charge of the vanguard army, each occupying one seat, and the remaining one seat being won by Zhang Lan, a person without party affiliation.

In this way, Meng Xiang's descendants occupy an absolute advantage.

Even if Lao Jiang and Wei Ren objected, it had little effect. Even if they were connected by nearly half of the votes and could initiate an enlarged meeting, among the total number of 36 enlarged and alternate members, Meng Xiang's clones and other ordinary people accounted for an absolute majority.

Lao Jiang is also very knowledgeable, for the issue of war against Japan, there is not only the support of Western countries, but also the response of the people at home, why should he be a wicked person to obstruct it?

"Then it's decided! Submit it to the parliament for adoption tomorrow! Meng Xiang said indifferently. However, he was hesitant to vote in parliament tomorrow.

Even if the Supreme Council takes a different position, the probability of leakage is low, but the secrecy of the parliament is much worse. As soon as the topic is submitted, it will inevitably cause an uproar and reveal relevant secrets.

However, Meng Xiang did not activate the coalition government's emergency authorization, which does not pass the bill that allows parliament to secretly carry out tasks on the bus and pay later. He was confident that with his descendants in control of the parliamentary majority, he would be able to pass resolutions quickly, and that he would not even need to enforce the regulations for minority voting in Parliament.

This is also where his confidence lies in daring to put on the yellow cloak of democracy. Otherwise, at the critical time when the country is running, why would he have to find so many uncomfortable triplines.

Sure enough, after compromises and exchange of interests at the Supreme Council, there were no major obstacles, and with Meng Xiang's control, the bill to declare war on Japan and send troops to the south to protect the interests of the Chinese was smoothly passed on the morning of the 19th.

"I declare that China will launch a full-scale war against Japan!" Meng Xiang solemnly announced the first declaration of war of the new coalition government in the halls of parliament.
