Chapter 1005: Chinese Lackeys
In mid-May 4622, the war between China and Japan had been over for half a year. In the past six months, the situation in Japan has changed a lot. Thanks to a series of policy efforts by the Imperial Governor-General in Japan, the turmoil in Japan was largely over. A large number of Japanese resistance organizations were wiped out, and Japan's social order was restored to stability.
Japan's economy has also improved, and the export of labor services has become the main pillar of the Japanese economy. For those Japanese who work in China, the monthly salary sent back to Japan has become the main income in Japan. The Japanese Governor-General's Office will take a certain percentage of these salaries as taxes to keep the Governor's Office running.
In addition, a large number of Chinese companies have invested in Japan, which will also make Japan's economy begin to recover. The only downside is that these companies are heavily polluting and have a huge impact on Japan's environment. Of course, the Japanese don't care about that. When Japan vigorously developed industry in the past, it did not pay attention to the protection of the environment, and the development of industry was indispensable at the expense of the environment. This was simply unavoidable in the early stages of industrial development.
The high-ranking officials of the Japanese Governor's Office are still very satisfied with the current changes in Japan. Although, the lives of the majority of the people are still relatively difficult. But, at least, it's already moving on the bright side. It is foreseeable that if this continues to develop, the Japanese people will soon be able to live a good life. The promise they made when they betrayed the Japanese imperial family was fulfilled.
Saionji Kobo's Mansion, as the administrative officer of the Governor's Office, Saionji Kobo's Mansion is undoubtedly one of the more magnificent courtyards in Tokyo that is being rebuilt. Of course, it is time to call him Simon Gongwang. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang is just a private name for others.
On this day, Saionji Kobo, Hara Kei, Wakatsuki Reijiro and Hamaguchi Yukio gathered together again. As several important ministers of the Imperial Governor-General's Office in Japan, they had a good personal relationship. can be counted as members of the Constitutional Political Friendship Association. At present, Japan's political arena is almost completely controlled by the Constitutional Political Friendship Association. From the central to the local level, the vast majority of officials are members of the Constitutional Friends Association.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been half a year since the end of the war. Compared to when the war had just ended, Japan today is completely different! These are the grace of the empire and your efforts! It won't be long before Japan recovers. The people will live happily ever after, and we are all heroes of Japan. After taking a sip of sake, Saionji Gongwang said with a flushed face. Although he is over 70 years old, he is still in good health and in good spirits, and he is completely an iconic figure in the Constitutional Political Friends Association.
"Yes! No one would have thought that in just half a year, there would be such a big change. To put it mildly, although the life of the Japanese people is a little harder, it is no worse than it was before the outbreak of war. Moreover, they are even more hopeful for the future. Yuan Jing also said. Before the outbreak of the war, because Japan's wealth was completely skewed towards military power, ordinary Japanese people were often exploited, and their lives were always very bad.
Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and the others all nodded, it was a complete joke. During the reign of the Japanese Empire, life was not as good as it was now when it was ruled by the Chinese. It's no wonder that the Japanese people's sense of identity with Japan is getting worse and worse. Especially after the trend of gender modification in Japanese society, many Japanese have forgotten their identity and regarded themselves as Chinese everywhere. Of course, they are nothing more than pseudo-Chinese. Because, they do not have Chinese nationality.
"Hamaguchi-kun, how many resistance forces are there in various places now?" Saionji Gongwang asked. As far as Japan's stability is concerned, those resistance forces are a cancer. These guys often undermine Japan's hard-won stability.
"My lord, there are not many resistance forces in Japan now, and they are mainly concentrated in the mountains of central Honshu, in the remote areas of Shikoku and Kyushu Island. In total, there are probably only a dozen of them, and the total number of people does not exceed 10,000. Yukio Hamaguchi said.
"Why is there only so little? Unable to destroy them? All that garbage should be exterminated, in this case, Japan will be too peaceful, we can concentrate on economic development, and when the military control is over, we can officially become a vassal state of the Chinese Empire. Rejiro Wakatsuki said. After this period of time, they apparently thought that being a vassal state of the Chinese Empire was far more cost-effective than being an enemy of the Chinese Empire.
"Although there are many, many people left of those who resist. But they all hid in the mountains, and every time we went to exterminate them, they hid in the mountains, and when we left, they came out to move, and it was really impossible to prevent it! Yukio Hamaguchi said.
The Japanese Security Force has 10 divisions and 180,000 men. The armament is also much stronger than that of the resistance. However, in the battle to destroy the resistance, they could not find each other. No matter how good the equipment is, no matter how powerful the combat power is, it can't be brought into play at all!
"In any case, the existence of those resistance forces is always a scourge, and we must find a way to get rid of them all. Otherwise, Japan will not be at peace. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.
"Well, the Governor's Mansion is already figuring out a way. I heard that some of the elite units of the Chinese* army will be thrown into the extermination of those resistance forces. Those elites are all selected from various units by the Chinese* army, which are called special operations forces. It is expected that when they are engaged, they should be able to deal a devastating blow to those who resist. Yukio Hamaguchi said.
"In addition to eliminating the resistance, it is also necessary to guard against intelligence agents sent by the Japanese government-in-exile. Hirohito was not willing to lose Japan like this, and in the past six months, they had sent no less than 100 intelligence officers from Japan to Japan. However, the vast majority of these intelligence officers were arrested, and only a few escaped. Yuan Jing said.
"On Hirohito's side, with the support of the Americans, even if it is an empire, there is no way to take them in a short time. Unless the empire goes to war like the United States and defeats the United States, it can destroy Hirohito and the Japanese government-in-exile. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.
As a handful of people at the top of Japan's power, they are of course afraid that the Japanese government-in-exile will return to Japan and establish a state. In that case, they will not only lose power, but also their own lives. So, of course, they hoped that the empire would defeat the United States and eliminate the Japanese government-in-exile.
"It will be difficult for the empire to defeat the United States in a short period of time. But the United States will have a hard time defeating the Empire. Now, both the empire and the United States are desperately developing, and the overall strength of the empire is no worse than that of the United States, or even stronger. At the speed of development of the empire, it is not difficult to surpass the United States. His Majesty the Emperor is an ambitious man, and he will definitely defeat the United States and become the world hegemon in the future, and when the time comes, as a vassal state of the Empire, we will also gain a lot of benefits. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang continued.
Yuan Jing and the others all nodded again and again, these people, their interests have long been tied to the Chinese Empire, and there is no turning back. If the Chinese Empire fails in the future, they will have no place to bury. Therefore, they also hope to be able to fight with the Chinese Empire and help the Chinese Empire win future wars as much as possible.
"In the future, we need to stabilize the situation in Japan and develop the Japanese economy. Once the war breaks out, we need to send more troops to fight for the Empire, help the Empire win the war, and help ourselves. Ladies and gentlemen, this will be our goal in the future. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said solemnly.
"Yes, sir." Yuan Jing and the others all nodded heavily.
On May 17, 4622, the Imperial Governor in Japan, Marshal Shi Deshan, summoned Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple and others, and had important matters to discuss with them.
"See Lord Governor." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and others all respectfully saluted Marshal Shi Deshan.
Although, Marshal Shi Tokuyama did not pay much attention to the Japanese government, and his main energy was on the military side. However, the turmoil in Japan could not be concealed from him. The Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau and the Security Bureau, both of which were located in Japan, had established sub-bureaus. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and others are the targets of key supervision.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. I brought you here today because I have something to discuss with them. Marshal Shi Deshan said.
"Marshal, if there is anything, your Excellency can just give orders. We will do our best to do a good job at the lower grades. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and the others immediately said.
"That's right, recently our people discovered that Emperor Taisho is not very honest. He had been trying to get in touch with the resistance forces in order to escape Tokyo. Although, under the tight guard of the empire, Emperor Taisho was not able to succeed. However, if Emperor Taisho is allowed to continue like this, it will cause a lot of repercussions. After reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor asked us to prepare for a while, and then solve the problem once and for all. Marshal Shi Deshan said expressionlessly.
However, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and others couldn't help but feel nervous in their hearts. Although, they have long known that sooner or later the Chinese Empire will attack Emperor Taisho. But I still didn't expect that only half a year after the end of the war, the Chinese Empire couldn't wait to do it.
Of course, now they have long lost the righteousness of kings and ministers for Emperor Taisho. Now they are the courtiers of the Chinese Empire, and even their nationality has become Chinese. For them, Emperor Taisho is just the emperor of Japan in the past, and he is just a prisoner now. If they want to deal with Emperor Taisho, although they have something strange in their hearts, they will definitely not object. (To be continued.) )
