Just when Luo Geng and Chen Qimei were still planning something in the apartment, in the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society in Tokyo, there were also a few people kneeling indoors and talking about something.

"Uchida-kun, do you think those people are really likely to succeed..."

Just sitting upright, taking a small sip of the tea brought by the next person, Touyamaman looked at Ryohei Uchida, who was sitting on the side.

"I can only say that there is a good chance of success." Putting aside the teacup that he had taken a sip of, Uchida Ryo said flatly. "As long as they have our support..."

"Our support?"

"That's right." Ryohei Uchida nodded. "The predecessor of the Kuomintang, the League, was originally an organization that was very good at assassination, as long as we provided weapons and intelligence, the possibility of success was still very high, and as long as things succeeded, we could also cut off a real enemy..."

"Rivals...... Is it? Sitting next to him, a very young-looking young man said something strange. Is that Chinese named Yan Shao really so tricky? ”

"It's tricky..."After glancing at Mitsuru Touyama, Ryohei Uchida looked at the young man. Murakami-kun, do you know what is the crude steel output of Anhui today? ”

"This..."These materials are all open in the Black Dragon Society, so Murakami Sheng answered without much thought. It should be 1.15 million tons..."

"That's right," Ryohei Uchida's face showed a complicated look. 1.15 million tons, do you know what that means? After so many years of development, the empire's annual output last year was only more than 330,000 tons, while Anhui alone had 1.15 million tons. This is almost three times the capacity of the empire..."(Japan's crude steel production in 1912 was 330,000 tons, and in 1913 it was 380,000 tons, because 1913 was not over, so here is the 1912 production.) ）

"In this era, steel represents the strength of a country, and it is also because of this relationship that we usually look at the steel of the country when measuring whether a country is strong. However, there are some exceptions, such as China, which has more steel than the Empire. However, other industrial facilities are backward than the empire, such as the military industry and shipbuilding, but if Anhui continues to develop in this way, then this Chinese named Yan Shao will eventually become a great disaster for the empire. Most importantly. The Empire's Manchurian and Mongolian strategy will also be declared a complete failure..."

"That's right." Hearing Ryohei Uchida say this, Toyama Mitsuru also nodded. "And according to our intelligence, Yan Shao is not blindly developing steel and increasing production capacity, but deciding according to the situation, such as the demand for steel in Anhui and China..."

"According to the information obtained by the Black Dragon Society, the Anhui military government has begun to set up arsenals and shipyards in Anhui, and there are only shipyards in addition to them, because they are slightly complicated. So it's still a little bit close, and the arsenal has been officially completed. It is believed that it will not be long before it can be put into production, and in addition, Anhui's automobile companies are also developing cooperative relations in Anhui and even in China, so that many local capitalists can unite with them to produce the parts and components needed for automobiles..."

"Murakami-kun, you should also know the reputation of the Yushi Automobile Company..."

"Of course." Murakami nodded.

Compared to a few years ago, Japan's automobile industry is somewhat basic. There are still some locally produced cars on the streets of Japan, but even so, the vast majority of the streets in Japan are still the 'Raindrops' and 'Ryulan' produced by Yushi Motors.

The former has won most of the Japanese market with good performance and ultra-low price.

The latter also occupies the high-end market in Japan because of its lower price and ultra-high performance.

These two cars are now almost two of the most common cars on the streets of Japan, and other Japanese cars that were originally produced locally are rarely imported on the streets of Japan.

No way, although the Japanese are very patriotic, they are still relatively clear-minded.

Even the cheapest kind of car in his own country costs $2 or $3,000, while Yushi Automobile Company only costs $750. It's almost one-third of the price of similar cars, and it's important to know that Japan is not like the United States, which is a very rich country, and it costs more than $1,000 to buy a car with little difference in performance...

Or to spend more than 2,000 dollars to buy a car that is far worse than another more than 2,000 dollars...

No matter how patriotic the Japanese are, it is impossible to do it...

So many things become taken for granted...

By the way, Murakami's car is produced by Yushi Company, no way, although Murakami is also an extremist as a member of the Black Dragon Society, but...

The Black Dragon Society is very large, and it is their activities in many places, so it is natural that it has become a little tight in terms of funding. In this case, in order to save money, although they are also some right-wingers, they also have to choose Chinese cars...

Naturally, although they bought Chinese cars, their slogans were still very beautiful.

For example, what. "Although we let the Chinese make money, we will use the money left from here to earn back a big Mengman from the Chinese..."

"After saving so much money, we can also have more money to invest in the Mongolian strategy, and it is the Chinese who fail, not us..."

Like mentioned above, the slogan is still very beautiful, but ...... There seems to be a little bit of truth in that?

————————————————————

Seeing that Murakami nodded in his knowledge, Touyama also nodded.

"According to the information we have received from Anhui, Anhui's automobile production has now reached a staggering 750,000 units, which is already higher than the output of all other automobile companies in the world, and even those automobile companies in the empire are not even a fraction of this number combined..."

"Of course, we all know that it is impossible to meet the needs of so many cars with the industrial strength of the Chinese, but that Chinese chose to import parts from the United States and France very cunningly, which makes him use that 'assembly line' to manufacture a large number of cars..." When he said this, Tou Shanman's eyes showed a slight hint of jealousy.

The assembly line has always been the top secret of Yushi Group in the past.

But as time went on, the secret ceased to be a secret, at least in many parts of the world.

The Japanese did not think about stealing these techniques from China, but the problem is that even if they could, they would not be able to use them without patents. Therefore, even if they already know the skills in it, they can only be envious, jealous and hateful...

Naturally, there are also some Japanese who have invested a lot of money to find a way to bypass the patent, but like the Americans and Europeans, they have not made much progress...

"As mentioned earlier, Yan Shao has begun to cooperate with domestic capitalists to set up factories, and he has begun to gradually transfer the production of parts and components in foreign demand back to China, and the strong export of automobiles is enough for him to protect the interests of these capitalists..."

"Naturally, after these capitalists build factories, they will also import steel from the Xiangshan Iron Works in Anhui, and eventually form a cycle, with the help of this cycle, China's industry will also have a leap forward, you should know that China is far more vast than the empire, and the population is many times that of the empire, if you continue to let China develop, not only will the empire's Manchurian and Mongolian strategy go bankrupt, but even the empire itself will face security threats..."

Hearing Tou Shanman say this, Murakami nodded.

"So, in order to avoid this, we have to get rid of this Chinese?"

"That's right." Toushan sighed softly. "But that's not the only reason..."

"If that's just the case, although that Yan Shao is indeed very troublesome, we don't necessarily have to die for him, what really makes us feel that he is troublesome is because he is different from other Chinese in this era..."

"Other Chinese in this era have a very vague concept of country and nation, and when they think about things, they will first consider their own affairs, which is very selfish, but it is very good for the empire, but that Yan Shao is not so."

"Almost everyone in China knows that Yan Shao's ambition and his potential hostility towards Yuan Shikai is definitely a troublesome enemy for him, but during the Outer Mongolia incident, he is willing to abandon this hostility and choose to support Yuan Shikai through other means, this attitude is very dangerous..."

"For the future empire's Manchurian and Mongolian strategy, Yuan Shikai is an obstacle, but he has a congenital shortcoming, this shortcoming makes him unable to really become an obstacle to the empire, and then Yan Shao has the possibility of being able to make up for this shortcoming, if this Yan Shao stands behind Yuan Shikai's support when the empire implements the Manchurian strategy, then things will be very troublesome for the empire..."

"And, most importantly..."

Speaking of this, Touyama looked at Ryohei Uchida on the side, and found that the other party was the same as himself, and a trace of chill flashed in his eyes.

The so-called truth may really be hidden for a long time, but there has never been an impermeable wall in this world. In other words, there are secrets that cannot be hidden for a lifetime.

This time, the Japanese decided to solve Yan Shao, not only because of the above things, but also because of one more decisive factor, and it was this incident that made the Japanese make up their minds...

For example, the London stock boom that cost the Japanese a lot... (To be continued......)
