Buddhism and Taoism were designated as state religions in China, and through various miracles, Chinese national teachers Master Y and Zhang Yuanxu completely tampered with Buddhist and Taoist texts. This seems to be a religious issue, but the falsified Buddhist and Taoist teachings coincide with the current policies and views of the Revival Society, and many people who understand it speculate that these two national teachers who can predict natural disasters were bought by the Renaissance Society, but no one knows how they were bought.

Cai Yuanpei is very taboo in China this indescribable force, in recent years not in the country but do not want it to grow as strong, with Yu Zixun's resume, no matter what he does when he returns to China, it is a dead end, especially in the eyes of the lower class people, he has been a foreign pastor He is simply an authentic Ermaozi, this kind of person betrays his ancestors and forgets his ancestors, and he is really the head of obscenity.

Yu Zixun did not take Cai Yuanpei's concerns seriously, and when he asked the priest of the diocese to resign and return to China, he was cordially received by a senior presbyterian pastor. "Yu, the Lord's cause has been fatally dealt a blow on that continent, and a large number of lambs have been lured away by the devil, and as a believer in the Lord, you have the obligation to change this status quo when you return."

"Mr. Green, the Old World is very dirty, and whether there is a temptation from the devil or not, the lamb is not a real lamb." Yu Zixun had long thought that the upper echelons of the presbyterian council would ask him to return to China to preach, but the situation was so grim that he did not expect it.

"No, we have almost lost faith in the missionary cause in the mainland, not only have we lost a large number of the Lord's lambs, but even Chinese pastors have betrayed the Lord," Mr. Green's unspeakable sorrow, it is the tradition of the church to control China with China, in the past, the Presbyterian Church funds continued to fund weak missionary causes, but now even the funds are not used, kinship Chinese, can not live in a world that discriminates against themselves and isolates themselves - many Chinese pastors' parents, children and friends have broken off their kinship with them in the newspaper, Not everyone can bear this kind of bereavement.

"Mr. Green, when I return home, I will have a full picture of what has been lost to the Lord's cause. Then think about what should be done to curb this situation. Yu Zixun said helplessly, he couldn't be sure if he could do this.

After meeting with Mr. Green, Mr. Clarke, an old friend of Mr. Yung Hong, appeared, who had driven from New York to bring him back to New York. "It's terrible! You're really joining forces with the Japanese. ”

"We?" Yu Zixun was a little unclear, so he knew that Yang Rui was an enemy. I don't want to even the sun.

"Yes, you, the Chinese Navy and the Japanese Navy are completely opposed to the distribution ratio to themselves, the Japanese hope to reach seventy percent of the tonnage of the capital ships of the United States Navy, while the Chinese hope to reach half, and at the same time he cannot guarantee that he will never ally with Japan. This is impossible, if China and Japan form an alliance, their capital ships will have more tonnage than the whole United States. Mr. Clark said, having just read the newspaper. It was full of news about the opposition of China and Japan to the allocation of tonnage to capital ships, especially in California and other places on the west coast, and they could not tolerate the threat of being under the guns of Chinese or Japanese battleships.

"It's really not a good thing." Although Yu Zixun did not understand the details of the matter, when he heard about the alliance between China and Japan, he immediately felt a crisis. He had not been in Japan for a short time, and he fully understood that only the aristocracy and some people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Japan admired foreigners, and the people at the bottom were extremely hostile to foreigners as much as China. And as a country that the United States has invaded, once his strength is above the United States. The Japanese will certainly reverse their strategy and invade the Philippines and Hawaii. China, on the other hand, is likely to be led to a dead end by him.

"It's really not a good thing. The Diet is urgently deliberating on this matter, and if China and Japan do not agree to the terms of the meeting, then we can only declare the meeting a failure, and there is a high probability that a real war will break out at that time. "Clark is an insider who understands what the Navy means to the United States." Yu, you should reveal this concern to the country. War is bad for anyone. ”

"I can do this, but Yang may not listen to me." Yu Zixun smiled bitterly, he can only play the role of a microphone at most, as for how the country will choose, it is really not for him to decide.

The Washington Naval Conference, which took place in May, was a natural continuation of the Versailles Conference. The most essential core of this is that the British Empire was unable to suppress the United States and Japan, and had to make a compromise. For the United States, he could finally be on an equal footing with the British Royal Navy in terms of tonnage of naval capital ships; For Japan, it is also a great glory to become the third naval power in the world.

However, unlike history, the rapid rise of China's navy is a major variable, and East Asia has had an additional naval power in several years, with two super-dreadnoughts, six aircraft carriers, and one aircraft carrier training ship, and the total tonnage of capital ships has reached more than 228,000 tons, directly catching up with Japan's more than 400,000 tons. Although no one can say what role aircraft carriers will play in the future, or whether they will really be able to replace battleships, the shipyards of China and Japan are working day and night, and perhaps within five years, the tonnage of the capital ships of the two navies will exceed that of either Britain or the United States.

At this time, if we call a stop, it may be a good plan to give Japan 60 percent of the tonnage of the US Navy's capital ships and 30 percent of the tonnage of China's US Navy's capital ships, but the problem is that the tonnage of the Chinese Navy's capital ships has already exceeded the scheduled 150,000 tons, reaching more than 220,000 tons; Even if the Japanese agree to 60% and the Chinese agree to 30%, the tonnage of the two is almost the same as that of the US Navy, which is equivalent to saying that the US Navy does not have any advantage in the Pacific, which is unbearable for the Yankees, who are accustomed to taking the initiative.

However, if there is no disarmament, then Japan and China are both allies of Britain, and in the event of a war, the US Navy will face twice the strength of its own navy, not to mention that the war will definitely be lost, and it will be extremely difficult to win at least, after all, the US Navy is facing absolute pressure in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. But this was the situation after the war, and if the war did not take place or if Britain, Japan, and China lost, the situation would be most unfavorable to Britain. First, the Irish question remained unresolved, and the Irish Independence Army's money came from Wall Street, and the exhausted British Empire could not afford another Boer War;

Second, the world war bankrupted Britain's finances, although Lloyd's. George claimed to use up the last penny in the treasury, but by 1924 the United States would match the tonnage of British capital ships, and the following year it would overtake it. Japan and China will gradually catch up with the tonnage of the Royal Navy, and in the end, if there is no war, the Royal Navy's number one position in the world is likely to be replaced by the United States and China, because these two countries are now the richest and have the most momentum to build ships.

Britain could not afford another war, nor could it accept that its status as a naval power was surpassed by all countries. Disarmament is his best option; The United States feared that it would be attacked by Britain, China, and Japan before its naval tonnage surpassed that of Britain, and that it would be at an absolute disadvantage; Japan's economic foundation is the weakest, and although it earned more in the Great War than in history, it can newly acquire colonies in Central Asia and the Pacific; And under the supervision of Yang Rui's prompt, its industrial system needs to be rectified, which requires a lot of investment, and the 88th Fleet may be able to support it, but the chaebols are not willing to do this kind of money-losing business; As for China, it was in the midst of a period of domestic construction at this time. The whole country is a construction site, and once a war starts, it will definitely be a big loss, and laying a solid foundation is the most important thing.

The four great powers all had the will to disarm, and France, a country that had shed a lot of blood in the Great War and had no strong allies after the war, except for a huge white slip from the Germans, and Italy, which was already second-rate and could not even cope with the Manchu navy and could only blush at Sanduao, also had no objection to this, and the Washington Naval Conference was convened.

On the day Yu Zixun returned to New York, the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. District. Representatives of China and Japan are holding close consultations, and China's representatives are Yang Du, special envoy of the prime minister, Liu Guanxiong, commander-in-chief of the navy, and Shen Honglie, lieutenant colonel of the Navy Office of the General Staff Department. On the Japanese side, it is two Kato and the new ambassador to the United States, Kishigero Bihara.

At yesterday's meeting, the representative of the British Navy delegation and a member of the British Naval Commission, Ernie Brown. Rear Admiral Chatfield responded positively to the U.S. Department of the Navy's assistant and chief adviser to the Navy delegation, Theodore Jr. Roosevelt's suggestion had a tendency for Britain and the United States to jointly exert pressure on China and Japan. Although the Chinese have long reminded this many times, the Japanese have a sense of earth-shaking when this day really comes. In the 20 years since the signing of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, the Japanese have served their British masters like slaves. Who would have thought that there would be a day when it would be sold. The situation at this time was completely different from that of the Sino-Japanese War, and in hindsight, it was true that Britain was unable to help Japan in East Asia at that time. But now that the war is over, Britain has no verbal support for itself, which really chills the Japanese.

"The British white animals can only be used for the Empire. Now that the independent country has succumbed, in order to cater to the rice country, the useless empire has been ruthlessly abandoned by them...... "Lieutenant General Kato Kanji Kato, who is called Little Kato, is the most resentful, even if Chinese is present, his emotions are still undisguised, "Gentlemen, we must not agree to the agreement of sixty percent of the white animals!" The empire must be seventy percent, and China must be forty percent! ”

The Chinese delegation has never put forward a 40 percent demand, and Yang Rui's opinion is that it is okay not to dismantle the ship, but in order to pull China in, Kato really went beyond the original Sino-Japanese naval agreement to give China a ratio of 50 percent and 7 percent.

"Kato, you've drunk too much!" General Kato Yuzaburo, who has always been known for his rationality and calmness, immediately shouted. He is perfectly aware of the true strength of Britain and the United States, and in the navy, two Japan plus three China are no match for Britain and the United States, not to mention that now there is only one Japan and one China. "Your Excellency, what should we do?" Yuzaburo Kato said.

"What else can I do?" Yang Du didn't care about this, the British were trading the Persian Railroad and the Persian oil pipeline for China's support for the naval treaty; The United States, for its part, will once again ease restrictions on overseas Chinese -- allowing their family members to enter the country. Apart from these tangible things, the Cabinet did not make a war budget at all, and all the wartime profits were invested in national construction. "Ladies and gentlemen: the navy is only a superficial strength, and from the point of view of our general staff, naval warfare is no longer a decisive battle like Tsushima, but a long-term war like a world war, and no one can win in one or two decisive battles, and industrial strength and shipbuilding strength are the key to victory or defeat in the war. Gentlemen, think about wartime standard ships, if the United States mobilizes with us, then how many war standard ships can he build? ”

When Yang Rui visited Japan last year, he criticized the Japanese industry a lot, in addition to the industrial scale is too small, the most important point is that the industrial regulations are disorganized, there are metric systems, there are imperial systems, coupled with the old weights and measures such as the traditional Japanese ruler method, resulting in extremely serious product tolerances, according to the report analysis of the Chinese Royal Quality Committee, the yield rate of Japanese industrial products is less than forty percent.

The Japanese were convinced by the problem that Yang Rui said, because as soon as they built standard ships, they found that compared with the Chinese shipbuilding industry, Japanese shipyards were just handicraft workshops. One is the regular army, which has cumbersome procedures but is meticulous in everything it does, and the other is a ragtag army. Although everyone is working hard, the chaos of the system makes the things it makes it completely substandard, but fortunately, if the wartime standard ship is built, if it is a warship, it will definitely have to be scrapped.

Engineering, project management, material requirements planning, manufacturing resource planning, quality, yield, quality control seven methods, five whys, five S, on-site management ......, these things generally wash away the Japanese shipbuilding industry. However, the Chinese only say how to do it, never say why they do it, and concepts and theories can never be cultivated in a short time, so the whole of Japan knows that they can't do it, but they don't know how to do it.

In the midst of anxiety and confusion, the Japanese took the most difficult thing -- the establishment of the Japan Standards and Specifications Association to unify domestic standards, because China chose the metric system, while the American livestock system was the imperial system. Therefore, the Japanese chose the metric system instead of the historical Japanese standard. Although this only requires the elimination of domestic imperial machines, it is not a small amount of time and money required to rectify the national industrial system. At the moment of eliminating the British machine tool at home and rectifying the industrial system, China and Japan were not prepared for the war with the United States, especially Japan, and if the navy lost, it would be a total loss.

Resentment is resentment, Yang Du mentioned wartime standard ships, Kato Yuzaburo and Kato Kanji both had chills in their eyes, and the Japanese shipbuilding industry was not even as good as the rising star China. How can you compete with beautiful animals? Kanji Kato, who hated the British and American white animals, said: "Your Excellency, are we going to let the white race be pressed on our heads forever?" If you don't fight. The only country today is our tomorrow. ”

"Therefore, you and our two countries should be like brothers, and the reason why Britain and the United States have not joined forces to strangle us now is because Britain cannot afford another war, and if war starts at this time, his colonies in Asia will not be occupied by us. It will also be included in the open door system of the United States, and what he hopes most is for the two countries to fight with the United States, and then watch from the sidelines. We must not fall for him! Yang Du is like a modern Zhang Yi, and he deduces the current situation very openly under his three-inch tongue.

"Not necessarily in fifteen years. At that time, Britain will recuperate for ten years, although he will not be able to attack. But it is enough to defend west of Singapore, and maybe they will also unite with Red Russia. Don't look at the defeat of Red Russia in Poland, for the British, only interests are eternal; In their view, the Pacific Ocean is his backyard, and we don't want to say that there is a navy, even if there are submarines -- you see, they still demand that our country dismantle half of its submarines, what is the reason for this? Yang Du said disdainfully. The naval treaty was signed only 15 years ago, and we must seize this 15 years to rectify and build domestic industry as the right way. ”

Yang Du's point of view, like Kato Yuzaburo, is a temporary concession, but he does not look at it from the point of view of the navy, but from the point of view of industry and war potential, which is more convincing. In particular, the rumors in the Japanese industrial circles that China's shipbuilding efficiency is 16 times that of Japan have penetrated into the hearts of Japanese naval generals, and Kato Kanji deliberately spent a week at the Jiangnan Shipyard in the name of visiting the Seiwa (Hiei) under repair, and even in such a short period of time, he can still see that China's shipbuilding is more efficient than Japan's, and there is a great difference in nature between industrial factories and handicraft workshops.

"What a deception!!" Kato Kanji didn't have a good plan to think about it, and there was no reason to draw a knife and cut himself, so he only slapped it on the coffee table.

"Kato, you're so rude!" Yuzaburo Kato and Kishigero Bihara reproached in unison.

"It's all your own people, what's so rude!" Yang Du smiled and played a round game, his gaze swept over Liu Guanxiong, and Liu Guanxiong also said: "Your Excellency Kato is a man of temperament, and Guanxiong admires it. It would have been a shame to think about the naval conference, but we had to make concessions in the current national strength and situation. The purpose of building our navy is by no means to compete for hegemony in the oceans, and our military only cares about the safety of our expatriates in various parts of the world and endangering the smooth flow of commerce and trade. The fleet was set at a speed of more than thirty knots, and mainly airplanes, just to get to the scene of the incident as soon as possible, so that the mob could be restrained......"

Liu Guanxiong can be an official and dare to bet, so he became the commander-in-chief of the navy, and it is not a problem for him to deceive foreigners, but Japan knows China very well, and has long known that the Chinese navy is building an aircraft carrier fleet, and it is pressing on the future, so his remarks are simply an insult to the IQ of little Japan. It's just that Britain turned its face and didn't recognize people, and if China is not united, then Japan will really be strangled by the joint efforts of all countries.

"Your country is a peacemaker, let's take a step back from the United States, according to what we discussed last time, agree to the condition of sixty percent tonnage of the United States, but Britain and the United States cannot build or expand military ports between Hawaii and Singapore, in exchange for our country not to build military facilities on the German colonies in the Pacific."

"I couldn't agree more. China's requirements are: Because the shipbuilding technology is not yet mature, the existing capital ships must be dismantled and rebuilt within 15 years on the premise of maintaining the existing tonnage. Yang Du echoed Biyuan's point of view and re-emphasized that his own requirements were not required.

"Mr. Huizi, reconstruction is a condition, and another requirement is that if the tonnage of the US Navy's aircraft carrier exceeds 100,000 tons, we have the right to change the battleship into an aircraft carrier, or the aircraft carrier into a battleship, but not more than 230,000 tons of the total tonnage of the capital ship." Lieutenant Colonel Shen Honglie, who has not spoken, added that he is the protagonist of the navy in this meeting, and Yang Du's responsibility is mostly at the diplomatic level, as for Liu Guanxiong, it is just an archway.

"Yes. We can't compare with the naval powers, but compared to France and Italy, both of which have tonnage to build new ships, not only do we not have tonnage to build ships, but we also have to dismantle submarines, and this must be added. Liu Guanxiong also said that he thinks that China is not signing for so much tonnage, and signing is also so tonnage, it is simply to play soy sauce.

"Yes. My country fully supports your proposal. Kishigero Bihara nodded, "However, the United States requires our two countries to make a non-aligned commitment, which is against public international law. ”

"I completely agree, and the Prime Minister also believes that China and Japan share the same culture and the same species, and we must overcome all differences and unite when it comes to the rights and interests of the yellow race." Yang Du began to speak big, and the Japanese who listened to it smiled. "However, the most important thing now is to step up the construction of the country, and appropriate concessions can be dropped, after all, the term of the treaty is only 15 years, and this ratio should be renegotiated after 15 years. Both countries have the freedom to develop their navies as they wish. ”

"I completely agree with Your Excellency." Kishigero Bihara nodded.

"I also completely agree with His Excellency Huizi." Yuzaburo Kato glanced at Kanji Kato, who was still indignant, and said in a deep voice.

"Is that okay?" Yang Rui saw his own people from the Japanese, and when he saw that there was no problem, he was ready to stroke his palm.

"The navies of our two countries should trust each other, deepen mutual understanding, train together and conduct regular naval exercises." After a long silence, Kanji Kato pleaded.

Kato Kanji looked at Yang Du and Liu Guanxiong, but Yang Du and Liu Guanxiong looked at Shen Honglie, he is the representative of the General Staff, and all military power in the army belongs to the General Staff, if coordinated training and exercises with the Japanese Navy are to become the norm, then the General Staff must agree; The General Staff agreed to the signing of a formal treaty of alliance between China, Japan, and North Korea, and although the treaty in Paris the year before was signed, many of its contents were incomplete because Japan circumvented the Anglo-Japanese alliance treaty.

"We need at least a real naval alliance treaty." Shen Honglie said cautiously.

"It's not just a naval alliance treaty, it should be a real China-Japan-North Korea Triple Alliance Treaty." Kishigero Bihara said loudly that he had fully supported the Japan-China-North Korea alliance before, but those pro-European and American diplomats in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs got in the way, fearing that signing a contract with Europe and the United States would isolate Japan.

"If this is really done, then what is there to say, the two countries are like a family, not to mention the joint training exercises of the two navies, even if it is not a problem to form a joint fleet." Yang Du said with a smile. The events of the year before last were very unhappy because Japan looked ahead and looked backward and the treaty was signed indecently, which made the prime minister very unhappy, but now Britain and the United States have joined forces to exert pressure, and the matter has come to fruition.

"It's like this, it's like this!" Kanji Kato waved his hand a little excitedly, "Asia is the Asia of Asians, and the yellow race is by no means inferior to any Omega white animal, so let the white animal tremble under the muzzle of the combined fleet!" (To be continued......)
