"This..." Yoshisaku Katsumata was completely dumbfounded, he didn't know the model of the radio.When the Japanese intelligence agency gave him the radio station some time ago, there was no special explanation. How could this amateur spy know that the radio station was divided into military and civilian uses.

Chapter 8 The Spy Trial

"I can explain this." Katsumata Yoshisaku said hesitantly.

"Of course we want to listen to your explanation, but we have to go back and explain to us." Tian Songyao pulled his face at this moment and said: "Come here, control the radio station and everyone here, and escort them back to the gendarmerie for trial."

"No, no, I can explain." Even with two soldiers grabbing him, Yoshisaku Katsumata was still struggling desperately.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the side room, thinking about rushing towards the courtyard wall.Xiao Jun seemed to have been prepared for a long time, he immediately flew forward and kicked the black shadow directly to the ground.Dragging the person who rushed out to Tian Songyao, Xiao Jun removed his black mask.

Seeing this person's face, Tian Songyao smiled and said: "Lord Long Jiguang, we finally meet, and the commander-in-chief misses you very much." Hearing Tian Songyao's words, the expressions of Long Jiguang and Katsuma Tian Shanzuo suddenly changed Ashes.

In the city of Haikou on Hainan Island, the circuit court assigned by the special zone heard the first case, the case about Long Jiguang attacking and massacring the medical team of the special zone.In the face of each piece of evidence, Long Jiguang had no chance to refute. In the end, he had to bow his head and admit his mistake, admitting that he was lured by Katsumada Yoshisaku, and then sent troops pretending to be bandits to attack the medical team.

The court's judgment was quite straightforward. Long Jiguang was sentenced to death and executed immediately, while Katsumada Yoshisaku was sentenced to 50 years in prison for espionage. People involved in his family were also sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to 15 years. Imprisonment, they will face a long-term life behind bars in the future.

A Wa native, and a very prestigious Wa businessman, was sentenced to 50 years in prison in Hualan.Once such news was exposed, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire Wa country.The Japanese government felt that it was too shameful, and immediately sent a special envoy to meet with Sun Baoqi, Minister of the Western Special Administrative Region.

Hearing that Wa sent a special envoy, Sun Baoqi met him in his office.Sun Baoqi's eyes lit up as soon as the Japanese special envoy entered.The person who came was called Kiyomasa Riguchi. When Sun Baoqi was the Minister to Gaul, he happened to be the Minister of the Wa Kingdom to Gaul.The two had a lot of contests in secret, because Sun Baoqi suffered a lot due to Hualan's weak power, why didn't he want revenge when the enemy met this time.

"Unexpectedly, I haven't seen you for so many years, and Minister Sun still has the same demeanor." Kiyoguchi said with a smile on his face. Although they were enemies and not friends, they still had to pretend to be friendly on the surface.However, there was a thorn in the words of Yuguchi Qingzheng. He still called Sun Baoqi the minister, which meant that the Li Fan Department was not an official unit of the country, and Sun Baoqi was just a minister who did not deserve his name.

Sun Baoqi didn't care about this and said: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Jukou will come back, and I will be disappointed to welcome you." His calling Mr. Fang also has obvious meanings. Kiyomasa Rikou is just a special envoy, which is tantamount to a temporary position. None of the jobs.

Horiguchi Kiyomasa's expression was a little abnormal, but he quickly returned to normal. "I'm here this time to represent the Japanese government, and I hope to discuss matters related to Katsumata Yoshisaku."

"Serving a sentence for a crime, what is there to say?" Sun Baoqi asked.

Horiguchi Qingzheng cleared his throat and said, "According to the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" signed between Wa and Hualan, Wa people have extraterritorial rights in Hualan, and the courts of your country have no right to judge Wa people."

"It seems that your memory is not very good. The last newly signed treaty has stated that all the privileges of the Wa people in Hualan have come to an end. Now our interrogation of Katsumada Yoshisaku is in line with international practice, and the trial of spies does not need Inform your country, and there is no need for extradition." Sun Baoqi said without giving in.

"Your country framed our nationals as spies for no reason, which greatly hurt the feelings of our navy. Once they don't obey orders, they may cause irreparable losses to your country." Kiyomasa Horiguchi used the navy unreasonably The reason why he dared to speak like this was because the first Japanese battleship Nagato equipped with [-]mm heavy guns had just launched and would soon join the Japanese navy.

For the superstitious navy, especially the Japanese navy with giant ship cannons, the range of naval guns means truth.Now that the Western Special Administrative Region has three captured Fuso-class battleships, it seems to be complacent. It has no idea of ​​building any more battleships, but instead builds a large number of battlecruisers.

It has been proved in the Battle of Jutland that battlecruisers are at a disadvantage against battleships. Although the battleship Nakagawa built by Hualan Kingdom with a [-]mm main gun is about to launch, the Japanese look down on it.In the eyes of the Japanese, if the two sides exchange fire, the battleship Nagato with thicker armor will surely be able to easily defeat the weakly armored Nakagawa.

Sun Baoqi's face immediately sank: "It turns out that the government of your country is so weak that it can't command its own army. It's a pity. However, such an army is unrestrained and very dangerous. If your country needs it, we can help it out." wipe out."

Sun Baoqi didn't show any face at all, he expressed his disdain for the combat effectiveness of the Japanese navy.Seeing that the military blackmail failed, Kiyomasa Juriguchi was a little panicked, and the two fought again, but Kiyomasa Juriguchi still couldn't let Sun Baoqi let go, and he had to return disappointed in the end.

Looking at the far-off Juekou Qingzheng, Sun Baoqi was indescribably happy: "I still want to use the navy to scare us. Is our Hualan navy a vegetarian? These short-sighted Japanese people will sooner or later be killed by our Hualan country." Step on it, and I will make you cry to death."

In the end, Wa Kingdom did not dare to make a big move on the issue of Katsumada Yoshisaku. In the final analysis, it was the powerful navy and army strength of the Western Special Zone that prevented Wa Kingdom from acting rashly.The Wa Kingdom didn't care about this matter. Under the introduction of Zhongchuan Radio Station and major newspapers, everyone in the country knew that Long Jiguang colluded with the Wa people to rob and kill the medical team, so no one would be nervous about it, but Gaul People can't sit still.

Originally, the area of ​​the Western Special Zone was far away from Gaul's colonies on the Eastern Continent. They never worried about this, and sometimes even ridiculed the conflicting countries in the Special Zone, such as Rakshasa.However, Hainan Island, which is occupied by the special zone this time, is the Annan colony adjacent to Gaul.In the future, the SAR Navy based on Hainan Island will be able to radiate the entire Annan coastline, and even monitor the Gaul East Continental Fleet stationed in Cam Ranh Bay.

The Minister of Gaul quickly expressed his concerns to Duan Ruiquan, the Prime Minister of Beihuacheng Government, but he also knew that this was just a gesture of the country. Regarding the actions of the Western Special Zone, the nominal Prime Minister of Hualan Kingdom It is impossible to be the master.

Chapter 8 The Paris Peace Conference

The situation of sending people to the Western Special Administrative Region to protest made the Minister of Gaul feel even more helpless.Duan Ruiquan also appeared to be more polite because Gaul was a powerful country in the western continent, while Sun Baoqi, Minister of Li Fan Department, directly stated that the problem of Hainan Island was Hualan's internal affairs and did not need the concern of allies.If you want to care, the Western Special Zone is more concerned about the oppressed Jing people in the Gaul colony.

Because the Western Special Administrative Region is becoming more and more powerful, coupled with the huge fleet of three battleships and four battlecruisers, more and more powers have become alert.In the Eastern Continent, for the first time, the Kingdom of Gaul was close to the Kingdom of Saar and the Kingdom of Wa, which invisibly suppressed the Western Special Zone.

At the Paris Peace Conference, this defense of Gaul was even more obvious.After the conference started, Gaul launched a series of actions against Hualan.

The Paris Peace Conference is actually a spoils-sharing conference for the Allied Powers. According to international practice, countries that made outstanding contributions in the war will have a greater say and share more interests.Therefore, the dominance of this Paris Peace Conference actually fell into the hands of the Saar Empire, the Republic of Gaul, the United States of the White Eagle, and the Republic of Hualan, while Rome and Japan, which contributed less in the war, and other countries Small countries can only be reduced to spectators, with very little right to speak.

As soon as the meeting came up, Prime Minister Clemenceau of Gaul began to attack Hualan: "I think that the land acquired by each country during the war should be distributed equally according to international principles, especially those occupying the land of the allies. Treat it with caution."

Clemenceau's words were directed at Hualan, because during the war, Hualan was the one that acquired the most land.The large tracts of land in the Central Continent, as well as the vast North Lia Plain in the northern part of the Eastern Continent, were all taken by the Hualan Kingdom from the Raksha Kingdom.

Regarding Clemenceau's speech, Lloyd George, Prime Minister of the Saar Empire, also agreed: "I think Prime Minister Clemenceau is right, we should redistribute the territory, at least let the allies maintain their own territorial integrity. Regarding the speeches of Saar and Gaul, the Wa Kingdom did not dare to add fuel to the flames. After all, the Far East of the Raksha Kingdom is still in their hands, and they do not want to spit out this piece of fat.

Cao Rulin frowned when he saw that the two countries were attacking Hualan Nation as soon as they came up. Although the flu has been brought under control, the epidemic has not yet been cured.In such a situation where there is need for others, the two countries can confidently threaten secretly, and the situation of Hualan Kingdom in the future will be worrying.

Regarding the unfriendly remarks between the two countries, Gu Weijun did not give in. He stood up and said, "I agree with Prime Minister Lloyd's statement very much. If the territory is to be redistributed, it is more important to first protect the territorial integrity of the allies, Saar The empire should set an example and return Hong Kong and the concessions established in our country first." Gu Weijun blocked Lloyd George back with a word.Saar Kingdom has great interests in the Hualan Kingdom. There are leased lands in every major city, and Hong Kong has been occupied for many years. If these places are returned to Hualan Kingdom, the commercial interests of the Saar Empire will not be guaranteed.

Seeing that Lloyd George was speechless, Gu Weijun turned to Clemenceau again: "The main battlefield of this war is actually in the territory of Gaul, and the main battle is also the invasion of Gaul by the Teutonic Kingdom. .The Gaul army was insufficient in combat power, and as a result, the land was lost, and almost the whole country was lost."

Gu Weijun was scolding the thief for baldness in front of the monk. His exposure made Clemenceau's face darker and darker.Cao Rulin on the side repeatedly pulled Gu Weijun's sleeve, signaling him not to offend the big powers too much, but Gu Weijun was unmoved.

Looking at Clemenceau with an ugly face, Gu Weijun said seriously: "During this war, countless soldiers from Saar, White Eagle, and Hualan died on the land of Gaul, stopping the invading army for the Gaul people. If Prime Minister Clemenceau wants to speak of international axioms, countries are throwing their heads and blood for the Gaul people so much, and it is Gaul that should really give up their land. In my opinion, Gaul should divide its colonies Send it to all countries as a reward for this great war."

"This is absolutely impossible. Gaul has stopped the Teutonic attack, otherwise the whole world will be invaded." Prime Minister Clemenceau's words are tantamount to placing Gaul in a position to stop the Teutonic aggression , it seems that they are blocking aggression for other countries.

Gu Weijun sneered and said, "I don't think so. At least the White Eagle Kingdom and the Hualan Kingdom have no conflict of interest with the Teutonic Kingdom, whether it's on the border or the colonial interests." Gu Weijun's words left Clemenceau speechless After all, what he said was the truth. The world war was actually caused by the irreconcilable interests of the various powers in the Western Continent, while the interests of the Hualan Kingdom and the White Eagle Kingdom were far away from the scope of the Western Continent, and there was no conflict with the Teutonic Kingdom.

Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere at the venue, White Eagle President Wilson quickly smoothed things over and said: "We are all allies. We fought side by side in the war and have a solid foundation of friendship. At such a peace conference, everyone should conduct the conference calmly. Distribution of benefits, avoiding struggles within the alliance. That will only benefit the defeated countries such as Teuton and damage the interests of the allies."

"I agree with President Wilson's statement. After all, we are here to distribute the benefits we deserve, not to quarrel." Gu Weijun took the initiative to show his favor to Wilson.He knew very well in his heart that the rise of Hualan Nation had already touched the interests of several powerful countries in the Western Continent, and would definitely be resisted and isolated collectively by these countries.If one wanted to obtain sufficient benefits for the country, one had to win over the White Eagle Country, which had little conflict with the Hualan Country.

Regarding President Wilson's statement, Lloyd George, Clemenceau and others also agreed one after another, and the Gauls' attempt to harm Hualan's interests failed.Clemenceau also wanted to unite the kingdoms of Saar and Wa, and then stumbling the country of Hualan when distributing benefits, but before he could make a move, a fight broke out among the three countries.

"Our country must take back the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, which were originally the territory of Gaul. In addition, we must occupy the Ruhr industrial area of ​​​​Teuton as compensation for the losses suffered by Gaul in this war. "Clemenceau waved his arms and said: "The Teutonic Kingdom must abolish its army and return to the state of the Prussian state, so as to maintain permanent peace."

The Gaul State's idea is very simple, to occupy the most elite heavy industrial area of ​​the Teutonic State to enhance its national power, and at the same time divide the Teutonic State that is the most threatening to itself on the western continent.In this way, Gaul can occupy a pivotal position on the mainland and become the real leader of the mainland.

Chapter 8-[-] Battle Cruiser of the Nakagawa

"This is absolutely not feasible. We should respect the territorial integrity of the Teutonic state." Lloyd George put forward different opinions.The strategy of the Saar Empire is also very clear. The Saar Empire is isolated overseas and must create a balance of power among the countries in the Western Continent in order for the Saar Empire to become a decisive force.In order to achieve this goal, the Teutonic state cannot be weakened too much, otherwise the Gaul state will lose its hold.

"5000 million Teutonics are redundant. As the chief culprit of this war, the Teutonic state must be dismembered. As for the Ruhr industrial area, it must also belong to the Gaul state, and the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine must also be recovered ’” Clemenceau said nothing.

"The people living in the Ruhr industrial area are all Teutonic. Even if they are merged into Gaul, they will not be stable. As for the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, I have never heard that Alsace and Lorraine belong to Gaul. , that should also be the inherent territory of the Teutonic state." Lloyd George was purely disrupting the situation, and the angry Clemenceau kept rolling his eyes.

Gu Weijun silently watched the high-level leaders of the two countries fighting with each other. He was secretly planning in his heart. In order to maximize the benefits of Hualan Nation, in addition to attracting the White Eagle Nation as an ally, he must also take advantage of the conflict between the countries. contradiction.At least between the Saar Empire and the Republic of Gaul, there are irreconcilable contradictions in the interests of the western continent.

On the first day of the conference, there was not much substantive progress. It was basically a quarrel between Clemenceau and Lloyd George. President Wilson acted as an intermediary to mediate the relationship between the two parties, and all other countries became spectators.Cao Rulin and Gu Weijun watched this with cold eyes, while Japanese Foreign Minister Ichiro Ono was quite depressed.Originally, the established national policy of the Wa Kingdom was to win over the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom, and launch an attack on the Hualan Kingdom at the Paris Peace Conference, so as to suppress the increasingly powerful Western Special Zone.Only in this way can Wa country continue to dominate the Eastern Continent with the help of the power of the two countries.It's just that such an idea seems a little naive now, before joining forces to fight against Hualan, Saar and Gaul have already turned against each other.As for being extremely weak during the war, Prime Minister Vittorio Emmanuel Orlando of Rome, known as the Spaghetti Army, wanted to intervene several times, but no one paid any attention to him.

"Wei Jun, look at today's situation, whether the peace conference can be concluded in a short time, how do you think we should protect the national interests from being damaged." Cao Rulin was quite worried about the performance of the countries today, so he took the initiative to discuss with Gu Weijun at night.

Gu Weijun seemed quite relaxed: "The interests of the country are guaranteed by the military, and have little to do with diplomats. As long as we maintain sufficient combat effectiveness, no one dares to ignore our interests. Now that the Western Special Administrative Region has a strong navy and army, it is Not afraid of blackmail from any country."

"You're right. As long as Hualan has such a powerful army, even Gaul wouldn't dare to tear us apart." Cao Rulin said, "I'm just worried that the Japanese will play against us. Now The surrounding situation of Hualan Kingdom is not good. The Wa Kingdom is staring at us, and the civil war in Rakshasa shows no sign of subsiding. In addition, we have to face the Saar people and the colonial army of the Gaul Kingdom in the south. I am afraid that there will be additional pressure on the sea. The fleet of the White Eagle Kingdom."

Faced with Cao Rulin's worries, Gu Weijun didn't want to reveal his plan. He just patted the other person on the shoulder and said: "There is no need to worry so much. As long as we use the contradictions of various forces, we can always survive in the cracks. This time Paris The peace meeting is a test for us, as long as we can overcome this hurdle, Hualan will officially become a world power and be recognized."

Cao Rulin smiled: "After Weijun joined the Western Special Zone, he seems to be more and more confident. I really don't know where you are so confident."

"If Mr. Cao joins the Western Special Zone, you will also become confident." Gu Weijun said: "The speed of development of the Western Special Zone is unimaginable. It is a vibrant area, which is unmatched by any region in the world , I believe that in time, we will become a world power again."

Amidst the clamor of many big countries, the world entered 1920.After a one-day holiday on New Year's Day, representatives from various countries continued to meet to discuss the future of the world situation.While the nations were still arguing over the distribution of benefits, Zhao Shouhong went to Guanghai City to participate in the launching ceremony of the new warship.

The launching of the battlecruiser Zhongchuan marked that Hualan Kingdom's warships finally got rid of imitation and entered the stage of independent research and development.Although the design and manufacture of this battleship is inseparable from the support of many Teutonic engineers and skilled workers.Some of these people came to Hualan State to build Teutonic battlecruisers, and were forced to stay in Hualan State because of the World War. to domestic.
