Chapter 1000: Japan's Future
War, there will always be dead people. Of course, Wu Haoxuan knows this. In fact, since the beginning of the army from Ji Province, whether in the civil war or the foreign war, I don't know how many soldiers sacrificed for the country. However, it was the sacrifices of these people that enabled the Chinese Empire to become a world-class power. In order for the Chinese Empire to become the hegemon of the world, it is inevitable that more people will die for it. Of course, with 100,000 casualties, the Imperial Army annihilated more than 1.5 million enemies, which has to be said to be a great victory.
"Marshal, although the Empire defeated Japan on the battlefield, this is only the first step. Next, we need to transform Japan into a pro-China country. This step is the most important. Wu Haoxuan said.
Marshal Shi Deshan nodded: "Your Majesty, there is anything else that needs to be done by the minister, just ask Your Majesty." ”
"Well, I have consulted with the other ministers and decided to make you the first Imperial Governor in Japan, responsible for the administration of Japan. After the end of the war, for the first five years, the empire put Japan under military control. In this way, the Empire's control over Japan could be ensured. In order to be able to transform Japan in accordance with the requirements of the empire. Wu Haoxuan said.
"There's no problem with that. Although, I know, it's going to be a daunting task. However, the minister promised to be the governor of Japan. Marshal Shi Deshan patted his chest and reassured.
"Very well, until the empire takes full control of Japan, the 1st Army, the 4th Army and the 14th Army will all be stationed in Japan. In addition, 12 divisions of the Korean Army will also be stationed in Japan. Unless the situation in Japan is stabilized and the security forces formed by the Empire in Japan can control the situation, the Empire will gradually withdraw its troops from Japan. Wu Haoxuan said.
Marshal Shi Deshan nodded, although the situation in Japan may be more critical in the future. However, with the presence of the three armies of the Imperial Army and the presence of 200,000 Korean troops, how could the Japanese afford to make any big waves? Even if they have bad intentions, the Empire will be able to suppress them in the shortest possible time. In contrast, Japan was no match for the empire in its heyday, let alone after its demise.
"This is a plan that we have drawn up to implement in Japan, so you can take a look at it first." Wu Haoxuan handed over a document to Marshal Shi Deshan. What is recorded in this document is the plan and plan for how to transform Japan discussed by Wu Haoxuan and the military and political ministers of the empire at yesterday's meeting. Radically transforming Japan politically, militarily, economically, and culturally is undoubtedly a very arduous process.
Marshal Shi Deshan read it carefully, because there were a lot of aspects involved, and he was a little dizzy when he saw it. Still, he knew it was definitely a good plan. If it succeeds, then Japan will be completely in control of Japan in the future. And Japan, on the other hand, will also become a country completely under the control of the empire. In other words, even the Japanese people themselves will get used to the rule of the empire. By that time, the Empire's plans had succeeded.
"Your Majesty, this plan, although very cumbersome. It is also very difficult to implement. However, this plan, if successful, would be very helpful to the Empire. Therefore, the ministers will strive to ensure the success of this project. Marshal Shi Deshan said.
"Hmmm! The Empire will help you as much as it can. The Japanese army, whether it is the Imperial Army or the Korean Army, can be at your disposal. In Japan, you have the power to cut before you play. As long as you think that the interests of the Reich in Japan are endangered, the Reich's future rule over Japan can be taken action. Wu Haoxuan said. This is completely equivalent to giving Marshal Shi Deshan a Shang Fang sword.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister knows." Marshal Shi Deshan nodded. From Wu Haoxuan's decision, he could see Wu Haoxuan's support for him. In such a situation, there is no reason why he should not do his utmost to ensure the implementation of the plan.
"Your Majesty, the Empire's rule in Japan will probably also require the help of the Japanese locals. With the help of these landlords, we are able to move forward with these projects. In fact, after Japan's defeat in the war, there were many Japanese traitors who could be used by us. Marshal Shi Deshan said.
"Well, do you have any recommendations there?" Wu Haoxuan asked.
"The Japanese patriarch Saionji Konobo, the Minister of the Interior, Hara Kei, as well as Reijiro Wakatsuki and Yukio Hamaguchi, and a large group of people from the Constitutional Friendship Association. In addition, among those Japanese generals, there were also many who were willing to defect to the empire. Marshal Shi Deshan said.
Wu Haoxuan nodded: "These Japanese can be reused." But if they find any signs of endangering the interests of the Empire, or of thwarting the plans that the Empire has decided to implement, they must be erased without mercy! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister knows." Marshal Shi Deshan nodded. He knew that Wu Haoxuan was worried that those Japanese were pretending to defect to the empire, but in fact they were secretly accumulating strength and wanted to rebel against the empire.
"For five years after the war, Japan was under military control, and you, the governor-general, were in charge. Therefore, the structure of government in Japan in the next five years will be in charge of the administrative officer, the tax officer, the interior officer, and the security officer. After the end of military administration, Japan, like other vassal states of the empire, changed to a prime minister system. However, even after five years, the Imperial Governor-General in Japan would remain in place. However, the Empire's garrison in Japan will gradually be reduced, and the Governor-General in Japan will be abolished when our plan is completely successful. Wu Haoxuan said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shi Deshan said. At the same time, he also began to think about what position the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and others should be awarded by the branch. The administrative officer must have been appointed by the Saionji Gongwang. Saionji Gongwang is a Japanese veteran, and this time he did not hesitate to betray Japan and take refuge in the empire, and the empire should reward him for reason. Hara Kei is the Minister of the Interior, so it is more appropriate to serve as the Minister of the Interior. Rejiro Wakatsuki and Yukio Hamaguchi were the tax collectors and security officers in the branches.
"We should also pay special attention to the formation of the Japanese security forces, which will be an important force for us to exterminate the Japanese resistance forces and ensure our interests. In the future, if our plan succeeds, we will also need to build the Japanese Army with the Security Force as the skeleton. In the event of a war, the Japanese Army, as a vassal state of the Empire, would have to fight for the Empire. Therefore, among the security forces, it is necessary to establish loyalty to the empire and eliminate those who resist. Wu Haoxuan said solemnly.
At all times, the control of the army was the most important, especially the control of the Japanese army, which was full of hatred of the empire, and that was undoubtedly the most important. The slightest negligence can lead to serious consequences.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Shi Deshan nodded heavily.
"I'm looking forward to what the Empire's transformation of Japan will become. In a year's time, I will visit Japan. I hope that by then, Japan will have changed. Wu Haoxuan said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Shi Deshan suddenly felt that the responsibility was greater. A year later, Wu Haoxuan will go to Japan to inspect, if he can't make any achievements, then what face does he have to meet Wu Haoxuan?
"Alright, you can go back and rest. Let's rest for two days before heading to Japan. This time, the burden on your shoulders is not light! Wu Haoxuan said.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister is in good health, and I will leave for Japan tomorrow." Marshal Shi Deshan said with a smile.
Wu Haoxuan nodded and didn't say anything more.
After Marshal Shi Deshan left, Wu Haoxuan fell into deep thought.
The current history is what has really been changed beyond recognition. Japan, which was supposed to become a world-class power, was completely destroyed by the empire. Moreover, the empire would soon begin to transform Japan into a pro-imperial state. In this case, it is undoubtedly difficult to say what Sino-Japanese relations will look like in the future and in what direction world history will develop in the future.
Wu Haoxuan's grasp of history will no longer be so accurate. However, now that the strength of the empire is so strong, even if Wu Haoxuan doesn't know anything about the future history, it will not be very difficult for the empire to achieve final success.
After a night's rest in Yenching, Marshal Shi Deshan left Yenching by plane the next day and returned to Japan. His headquarters also moved from Nagoya to Tokyo. In the future, the Japanese Governor's Office will be established in Tokyo.
On the morning of November 14, 4621 A.D., Marshal Ishitoyama summoned four men, Konobu Saionji, Hara Kei, Wakatsuki Reijiro, and Hamaguchi Yukio, in Tokyo. Finally got a summons from the Chinese side, which made Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and others breathe a sigh of relief. These few days are completely like a year for them! They betrayed the whole of Japan in order to gain the importance of the Chinese Empire. In this way, they will be able to continue to enjoy their glory and wealth, and they will be able to protect Japan according to their intentions. It's just that after taking Tokyo, the Chinese Empire ignored them, which made them very worried, whether the Chinese Empire would cross the river and tear down the bridge! Fortunately, in the end, they were overly worried.
The headquarters of Marshal Ishitoyama was in an intact courtyard on the outskirts of Tokyo. As for the future governor's palace, I am afraid that it will take some time before we have the energy to build it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all meritorious to the Empire. It is because of your help that the Empire was able to end this war in the shortest possible time. Your Majesty, Emperor, is very pleased with your performance. Rest assured, the Empire will not treat you badly. Marshal Shi Deshan assured.
This made Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, they knew that they had made the right bet this time. (To be continued.) )
