How to deal with Japan is undoubtedly an issue that people have to pay attention to. After all, Japan is a country of tens of millions of people. Only by taking complete control of the country can it become an imperial booster. Otherwise, it will become a burden to the empire.

In this war, Japan was defeated by the Empire, and then it will definitely have to cede land and pay reparations, this is certain. In this case, it can have a role in weakening Japan. At the same time, the empire was able to plunder a large amount of wealth from Japan, further making the empire even more powerful. Under the trade-off, the gap between the empire and Japan will become wider and wider, and if Japan wants to rebel against the empire, it will undoubtedly be unlikely.

The influence of the Japanese emperor must also be weakened. No matter how much the empire controls Japan, the rulers of Japan will oppose the empire in their hearts. If the emperor is allowed to continue to exist, then, once the empire is in crisis, Japan may break away from the control of the empire with the emperor raising his arms, or even become an enemy of the empire and bite the empire back. After all, this kind of thing is often done by the Japanese. The Japanese are also white-eyed wolves that can't be raised. If the emperor's influence is weakened, this situation can be effectively prevented.

Military control over Japan is also indispensable. In the immediate aftermath of the war, even the empire took control of the Taisho Emperor. However, there will still be many people who are unwilling to fail and continue to fight against the empire and become enemies of the empire. If the empire wants to ensure the stability of Japan and make Japan transform it according to the intent of the empire, it must retain a strong military force in Japan and eventually build a Japanese army that is completely controlled by the empire. Only in this way will the empire be able to control Japan at minimal cost.

"Is there anything else you can do?" Wu Haoxuan asked.

"Your Majesty, the empire still needs to slowly transform Japan culturally. The Japanese practice Shintoism, which is a season of selfish and extreme religion. The empire must find a way to weaken its influence. Prime Minister Yang Du suggested.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, he was also very clear about the dangers of Shintoism. In another time and space, the world is reflecting on the crimes of World War II. However, the Japanese did not admit it. Even the Germans pleaded guilty and tried to make amends, but the Japanese desperately denied those crimes. The reason for this is that Shintoism is a very important reason. If the influence of Shinto can be weakened, or even if the Japanese can be converted to other religions, it will undoubtedly be an effective solution to this problem. Of course, this is not a difficult task for China. China also has a lot of talented people in terms of religion. Buddhism and Taoism have many masters, and sending them to Japan to preach will surely be able to achieve results easily under the protection of the government and the army. After the Japanese have abandoned Shintoism, it is enough to abolish Shintoism.

"Your Majesty, we have also abolished the yen and vigorously promoted Chinese, kanji, and Chinese names in Japan. Culturally, it completely brought Japan and China closer, thereby weakening the Japanese people's sense of identity with the so-called Yamato nation. In this case, the Japanese will be much less resistant to us. The Minister of Culture suggested.

"Yes, that's a good idea. Cultural invasion is sometimes more terrible than an invasion by force. After the establishment of the new Japanese government, it vigorously promoted the Chinese language, Chinese characters and Chinese surnames and names. The yen was also gradually abolished, allowing all Japanese to use the Chinese dollar. This can be implemented throughout the vassal system of the empire. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The military ministers of the empire nodded their heads. If this plan succeeds, then it will be easier for the Empire to control Japan.

"Empire, Japan went through war, and the economy was on the verge of collapse. We can recruit Japanese workers, or we can move a lot of labor-intensive industries, as well as highly polluting industries, to Japan. In this way, Japan could be further exploited, and the environment of the empire could be protected. Industry Minister Cen Chunxuan suggested.

Wu Haoxuan nodded and approved of the plan. In the process of accelerating the development of industry, the empire will inevitably have a great impact on the environment. It's hard to avoid. However, if we can transfer those highly polluting industries to Japan, it will be tantamount to polluting Japan's environment.

In addition, Japan lost a lot of men in the war, which made the ratio of men and women in Japanese society extremely unbalanced. There are still a lot of singles in China! It is entirely possible to select those Japanese women with better conditions and let them marry Chinese men, which will also help to change the problem in China. At the same time, the empire's green building industry can also recruit Japanese women. Anyway, isn't this kind of industry what Japanese women are best at? In this way, it can effectively reduce the crime rate in this area in the country, and can also avoid the occurrence of forced prostitution.

"Your Majesty, if these plans can succeed, then Japan will not escape the control of the Empire." Prime Minister Yang Du said with a smile. This may be a disaster for the Japanese. However, for the Empire, it is undoubtedly the best way.

"Your Majesty, we also need to appoint a Governor General in Japan who will ensure that these plans can be carried out smoothly. Even, this is very important. Tang Shaoyi suggested.

"Do you have any candidates?" Wu Haoxuan asked.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Shi Deshan, the commander of operations against Japan, is the best candidate. All this time, Marshal Shi Deshan was preparing for war against Japan. Now he is personally leading the army to destroy Japan. Therefore, Marshal Shi Deshan is definitely the best candidate. Chief of the General Staff Shi Tianhan and Yuan Shuai suggested.

Other ministers also seconded the proposal. When Wu Haoxuan appointed Shi Deshan as the commander of the war against Japan, in fact, everyone knew that Wu Haoxuan intended to make Shi Deshan the Japanese governor. In addition, Shi Deshan is Wu Haoxuan's uncle, and if he is allowed to sit in Japan, Wu Haoxuan will be more at ease. After all, the Viceroy of Japan is equivalent to the King of Japan. If it were someone else, Wu Haoxuan would probably be a little worried in his heart.

In addition to this, there is another reason. Marshal Shi Deshan was also a decisive man. For Japan at this stage, there will definitely be a lot of turmoil. This required the Japanese governor to be able to make a decision and take measures to solve the problem as soon as it arose. From this point of view, Marshal Shi Deshan is also a very good candidate.

Wu Haoxuan nodded: "Since everyone agrees to let Marshal Shi Deshan become the first governor of the empire in Japan, then, let him hold this position." ”

"Inform Marshal Shi Deshan and let him fly back to China." Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Shi Tianhan nodded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, defeating Japan is just a victory for us. We need to do more to achieve the Empire's goals. I believe that in the future, the empire will definitely become the most powerful country in the world, the hegemon of the world. Wu Haoxuan is full of confidence in the future of the empire.

"The Empire will win!" The military and political ministers of the empire are also full of confidence.

Marshal Ishitoyama, who was far away in Japan, was preparing to move his headquarters to Tokyo after learning that Tokyo had been taken. At this time, he suddenly received a telegram from Wu Haoxuan, asking him to return to China. As a result, he had to take a seaplane provided by the navy from Nagoya and return to Japan.

Japan is not too far from the Empire, but it will take a week by boat. However, it only takes one day to fly. Marshal Shi Deshan took a seaplane from Nagoya, Japan to Busan, where he was replaced by a reconnaissance plane of the Imperial Air Force, and after a mid-course transfer, he landed directly at Yanjing Nanyuan Airport.

When the plane was steady, a car drove directly onto the tarmac. Zhao Hu, the chief of the guard of the imperial emperor Wu Haoxuan, personally came to greet Marshal Shi Deshan. From this, it also reflects Wu Haoxuan's respect for Marshal Shi Deshan.

"Marshal, please, Your Majesty is waiting for you at the Imperial Palace." Zhao Hu said.

"You're welcome, Chief Guard." Shi Deshan smiled and got into the car.

It didn't take long for the car to drive into the palace, and when Marshal Shi Deshan got out of the car, he saw that Wu Haoxuan was already waiting there.

"Marshal, welcome back in triumph!" Wu Haoxuan said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you are really tormenting the minister." Marshal Shi Deshan hurriedly said. Although, he is Wu Haoxuan's uncle. However, after all, he is Wu Haoxuan's courtier.

"Marshal, you led the army to destroy the great enemy for the empire, I came to greet you, this is all as it should be. Let's go, let's go to the study, we still have something to talk about. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Shi Deshan nodded. He knew that Wu Haoxuan was in such a hurry to summon him, and he must have been ordered by something urgent.

After coming to the study and sitting down, Zhao Hu asked someone to bring tea.

"Marshal, do we have heavy casualties in Japan?" Wu Haoxuan asked. Although the empire defeated Japan, it would definitely pay a great price for the destruction of such a big country.

"Your Majesty, the loss of the navy is not very clear to the minister. However, on the army side, so far alone, we have suffered more than 100,000 casualties. Of these, almost 50,000 were killed or seriously wounded. The rest were minor injuries. Marshal Shi Deshan said.

Although Wu Haoxuan had already been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he heard that there were such big casualties. After all, those are the warriors of the Empire! However, it was worth it to destroy Japan in one fell swoop at the cost of 100,000 casualties.

"Although the losses are very large, the Japanese troops we have annihilated, including the prisoners, have exceeded 1.5 million." Marshal Shi Deshan said proudly. (To be continued.) )
