Chapter 68
Li Yuanhong didn't say anything more, he just sighed about the lives of North Koreans, as early as last year, Yang Xiaolin had formulated a plan to immigrate to North Korea, and preparations had begun to start this year, and Tang Shaoyi was also going to draw up a preliminary plan.
By the time our immigrants arrived in North Korea, four million Koreans were a little bit more, and we just needed a few farmers, laborers, and coolies. At present, the leaders of the warring parties in North Korea must all disappear, the charges are prepared for them, so many people have died, someone must stand up and be responsible, China is a country with a rule of law, and since North Korea wants to become one of our provinces, we must abide by our laws.
Whether it is Gojong or others, you have started a war, and you have caused heavy casualties among the Korean people, and you must give an explanation to the people.
Li Yuanhong continued to talk about the Russian affairs: "The reconstruction of Poland was supported by Britain and France, which was tantamount to planting bombs in the rear of Germany, and there was news that Wilhelm II had mobilized troops to prepare to kill Poland, and if the Germans really entered it, the war might have begun." ”
Yang Xiaolin snorted, the current shape is indeed very complicated, because of the variable of Russia, whether the First World War will not start in three years is uncertain. The British Empire was aggressive in Central Asia, and the restored independence of Poland was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and wherever the guns rang out, the Balkan powder keg was no longer needed for war.
Li Yuanhong's head stretched forward a little: "Commander, we must prepare early." Once Britain wins, the next target will definitely be us. ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled bitterly: "I know this, but we can't stand in line now." Everyone is fighting with a group, what do we have? If we were to side with Germany now, what would be the situation in Asia, Britain, France, the United States, and the Netherlands would come together to suppress us. ”
This is the difficulty we are now facing, and although the Asian joint forces have been formed, they have not yet formed combat effectiveness. There is a fatal place in a country like Siam. It is that he has been oppressed by the West for many years, and his self-confidence is obviously insufficient, if they do not have the guts, the British and French may surrender without hitting him without a single shot as long as they drive the fleet over.
Siam's combat strength is not important, but its geographical location is very important to us. Once Siam is lost, our support for East Timor will be completely blocked, and how long can East Timor hold out in this situation?
Finally, there is Japan.
Naokami Matsubara is now very respectful to us, but he does not yet represent the mainstream consciousness of the Japanese leadership, and there is a group of people in Tokyo clamoring for a fight to the death with us. Even if Matsubara-kun is in power. But behind Matsubara-kun's bent waist was the hand holding the knife. If it is not good for China, he may be the first to pounce on us.
This is the real situation we are facing, the Asian alliance has no prestige, and the joint forces also need victory in the war to solidify, and the most lacking thing in this military alliance is confidence, which has just been born and is still too immature in many aspects.
Now Yang Xiaolin is confident that he will be able to practice alone in Asia and the British Empire, and even if he uses global power, we will not necessarily be the losers in the end. But group fights are different. Our teammates are all first- and second-rate countries in the world, and our teammates are not ranked at all.
Although the two Sino-British conflicts did not expand the incident, Yang Xiaolin knew that there was a real fight. With the gentlemanly demeanor of the British Empire, he will not come to practice with himself.
His fingers tapped on the table a few more times: "President Lai, if you want to rush out, we must give full play to the strength of other Asian countries." Japan needs to do things well. East Timor needs to be combative, and the Siamese people need to have confidence. And, if the timing is right. Let Siberia also join the Asian League. ”
Li Yuanhong's brows furrowed, but he nodded slightly: "Okay." It's not that I'm urging you, it's just that this situation is urging people, and we all have to hurry up. ”
As he spoke, he handed over the signed power of attorney, which was equivalent to him giving Yang Xiaolin the ability to send troops at any time, and under the current situation, Commander Yang could say that he would fight. This is a bit of a loophole in the law, but whether it is Yang Xiaolin or Li Yuanhong, they are all very calm.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you, a few days ago, there was news from the Northwest Bureau, the Panchen has proposed to send people to Beijing several times, Du Yuesheng and they have always felt that the time has not come, so they have not made this arrangement. Yesterday, the Northwest Bureau sent a telegram asking if we could meet with the Panchen deputies, and I think this is now possible. I'd like to see it in person. ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "You just have to look at it." ”
Li Yuanhong glanced at him: "How can you say that?" You should know very well that after I met them, there was going to be a war soon, and the British and Indian troops could not sit idly by. See? ”
Yang Xiaolin pondered for a moment: "See." It's time to let those guys know that I'm not afraid of them. ”
Tokyo.
The collapse of Russia also had a great impact on some Japanese politicians. At this time, even a small country like Romania got a piece of a bone, and goods like Italy occupied some of Russia's territory in Central Asia, but the Great Japanese Empire could only stare at it.
If the Japanese were skeptical about whether the turmoil would affect Japan's development, now they can affirm that Japan has missed the best opportunity and that they have not tasted the bear's paw. The key question is that none of them can guarantee that if the turmoil continues, Japan will become a second country to be disintegrated or even destroyed.
It's been months, and that passion is gone, and all that's left is to think about reality. The rebels in Tokyo are getting weaker and weaker because the prolonged lockdown has prevented them from providing enough food to the citizens of Tokyo and the ronins who support them.
Seeing that the weather was about to turn to winter, those enthusiastic soldiers suddenly realized that Tokyo, which had been very lively in the past, was now so depressed. All the shops on the streets have been closed, the factories have been suspended, the schools have been closed, the fallen leaves on the streets have not been cleaned, and the wanderers are huddled in thin clothes in the corners of the sheltered walls in the cold wind, and their faces are no longer visible as they were at home and indomitable.
The ideal may be lofty, but it is crushed by a blow in front of the belly! Is this what you want? Is this what the officers said was about reshaping the splendor of the Japanese Empire?
Although the officers were still saying that the qiē was caused by the blockade, the soldiers saw that the officers could do nothing but howl twice. Their only hope was that the navy that went straight to Matsubara on the 5th, 15th, and 25th of each month would send them a small amount of daily necessities.
Many people are shaken, more and more citizens of Tokyo are leaving, and the Japanese capital a few months ago is now like a dead city.
Those officers were also helpless at this time, they asked the navy of Naogami Matsubara to stop the blockade of Tokyo, Naogami Matsubara said that there is no problem in stopping the blockade, you send the emperor out, as soon as I receive the emperor, I will immediately turn around and leave, too lazy to deal with you.
This condition was unacceptable to the rebels. The emperor is their only bargaining chip now, and these guys know very well that the emperor still has soldiers in Tokyo who can follow them, and as soon as the emperor leaves, they will be finished.
Shouichi Terauchi has looked for Naogami Matsubara many times, and at this time he no longer has the arrogance he had at the beginning, he has begged and threatened, but it is useless.
The navy is still blockading Tokyo. Don't fight, don't withdraw, let you make trouble inside. The civilians who escaped from it were taken to safety by Matsubara-kun, and after eating and drinking, they immediately told their wretched state in the city with tears in their eyes.
One person said it was a story. When more and more people talk about it, Tokyo becomes hell, and of course it's not Matsubara-kun who turns this city into hell, it's them. This group of rebels. His image has slowly changed in Japan, from a group of hot-blooded soldiers to a miscellaneous miscellaneous who doesn't know what to do.
The day before yesterday, Shouichi in the temple even pointed his nose in front of Matsubara-kun and scolded Matsubara-kun. He thought he was successful. Matsubara-kun will be angry and bring the navy to destroy them.
Truth be told, if Naogami Matsubara were to use force now, it would be the best place for these rebels to end the struggle, which had lost their hope, at least in a way that was at least heroic in their eyes.
It's a pity that Matsubara-kun didn't even give them this opportunity.
The rebels in the city are now desperate, they are no longer united, and there are clear differences of opinion, some to hold onto, some to break up.
As for Youpeng in the county outside the city, life is just as difficult. The chaebols in Japan have basically moved to the side of Naogami Matsubara, not because Matsubara-kun's prestige is higher than that of Yamaken, and he does not offer attractive conditions like Yamaken.
It's just that those chaebols are very realistic, maybe there are friends in Shan County who can give them a better future, but they can all see that Naokami Matsubara's ability to let them end up now! The entry and exit of the cargo ship is all up to Matsubara-kun, if I don't give your ship away, you just can't sell what you produce! I don't let in the merchant ships that carry goods for you, and you can't even start work when you come to work, so why do you wait until the future?
It's the same in terms of the army, now Matsubara-kun not only has a navy, but even the army around Kyushu Island is also under the dispatch of Matsubara-kun, unlike these poorly equipped armies around Yamayama, those guys followed Songyuan, all changed into Chinese-style equipment, tanks and armored vehicles, and now they are training under the leadership of Li Debiao.
Don't say that cooperating with the Chinese is a traitor, the slogan of Shanxian is no longer loud. After being cut off from the sea passage, he could not get British and American sponsorship, and the soldiers on Kyushu Island were not short of salaries and weapons, and they changed into winter clothes in October.
The submission of the chaebols and the surrender of the army have made Naogami Matsubara a person who can control the situation in Japan, and he really has the ability to use force to solve the current Japanese problems, but Matsubara-kun has always said a lot of righteousness, he said that whether it is the rebellious soldiers or the Yamaken Youtomo, they are all loyal servants of Japan, and the way things have turned out is just a difference of opinion.
He promised many Japanese journalists that he would never shoot at any Japanese soldier until the last resort, because he did not want the Japanese to stain their hands with Japanese blood.
He was still so modest, and he hoped that Yamaguchi and the rebels would sit down, and we would sit down and talk together, first of all, you must ensure the safety of the emperor, and secondly, you must think about the Japanese people, as long as you do these two things, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.
The words are high-sounding! But Youpeng in Shan County knew very well that that guy blocked all the roads, leaving only a gap for himself to get out, and in the middle of that gap, Shan County saw the shadow of the sword. (To be continued......)
