The Bank of Japan is no fool either, as soon as it found out.These so-called disaster relief bills in my hands are all bad debts dumped by companies to the government and banks, and most of them are junk bonds that are impossible to settle.These bonds could not be settled at all, and those companies used such junk bonds to borrow large sums of loans from banks.Now the banks in Japan are urging the government to quickly discount these disaster relief bills and let them give the money.But the government has no money, so it can only be delayed again and again, and it has not been able to think of a way until now.

In addition to these disaster relief bills during the earthquake that could not be processed, there were also national debts for the past two years that could not be processed.After the chaos on the Korean peninsula this year, not to mention that Japan lost hundreds of millions of property on the Korean peninsula, the Japanese government issued 8000 million national debts one after another just to suppress these rebels, but the problem on the Korean peninsula is still unresolved.According to the current situation, in order to solve the rebellion on the Korean peninsula, the Japanese government can only continue to issue national debt.

But now the national debt cannot be sold.Japanese government bonds have no credit and cannot be sold outside, but can only be sold to their own people.But where do those people have money now.

How to do?

To print money, the Japanese government had no choice but to print money secretly, and wanted to use this method to deal with national debt.As a result of printing banknotes, prices in Japan kept rising for more than half a year.But like China, crop prices in Japan have continued to decline.Countless Japanese farmers went bankrupt, and rural conflicts became more and more serious.

Listening to Kataoka Naoto crying poor, several civil servants were silent.Because they all know the current financial situation in Japan and understand that what Kataoka Naoun said is correct.

"Prime Minister, I think we should negotiate with the Chinese government first, and re-determine the content of the 'Beijing statement', especially the 'trade agreement' between our two countries. I recently read the power development plan issued by the Ministry of Electricity of the Chinese government, according to According to their plan, the number of generators they need is astonishing. According to their plan, they will need to spend about 8000 million within three years. However, although they have their own generator manufacturing plant, the scale is limited and the output is limited. Most of them are They need to import. At present, they mainly import German generators. If we reach an agreement with the Chinese government to use our generators instead of German generators, it will create tens of millions of domestic output value. It’s half the price. And the Chinese government’s coal mining enterprises need to expand their scale and buy a lot of machinery and equipment. If we can get this business, our economic situation can be greatly improved.”

Hirota Koki put forward his own suggestion.

At this time, the Japanese economy is already very difficult.With so many disaster relief bills and so many national debts, if they are not handled carelessly, the entire Japanese economy will collapse completely.

Increased economic cooperation with China is of great benefit to improving the Japanese economy.

"Then Mr. Hirota, please contact the Chinese government as soon as possible. Tell them that we abide by the 'Beijing Statement', and we hope to expand the cooperation between the two parties."

"What about the abnormal situation of that army?"

Bai Chuanyi opened his mouth.

He was very dissatisfied with these cabinet officials, starting with Takaaki Kato, the current Reijiro Wakatsuki, Yuyuki Hamaguchi, and Yoshinori Shirakawa.

This is not a typical compromise.

"Wait, talk to the Chinese government first."

"What about Huishan County?"

"Wait there too."

"Prime Minister."

"Everyone has worked hard this time."

After two days, on August 1925, 8, Duan Xun's special train slowly arrived in Beijing.Although the current traffic is indeed much better than before, the speed of the current trains cannot be compared with that of decades later.The speed of the train is about 14 kilometers per hour, and no matter how fast it runs, it will not exceed [-] kilometers.

Therefore, between Beijing and Nanjing, it will take a day and a half even if the train does not sleep or rest.There is a slight delay in the middle, that is more than two days.

Dai Kan and Yang Yongtai led the crowd to meet Duan Xun at the train station. In order to welcome Duan Xun, the entire train station was blocked, and a large number of troops were dispatched to block it.Duan Xun's special train stopped all trains along the way from Nanjing to Beijing to make way for Duan Xun's special train.It is because everyone has no scheduling experience in this area.

After all, this is the first time Duan Xun, a cabinet minister, has returned from Beijing.

China is different from Japan.

During the August [-]th Mutiny, those young military officers killed so many Japanese cabinet members, even the prime minister and foreign minister, and both the land ministers and the sea ministers were hospitalized.But there is no fatal impact on Japan, as long as the new cabinet is restored.But China is different.

China's current cabinet members are all from the background of fighting the world, and they directly represent China's current power structure.If such a mutiny occurs in China, half of the cabinet members will be killed or injured, and the whole of China will be in chaos.

Especially Duan Xun.

If something goes wrong with Duan Xun, no one can guarantee what will happen afterwards.It is even possible that China will once again fall into a melee of warlords.Because at this stage, no one can replace Duan Xun, control the political situation, and control the army.

So everyone attaches great importance to security work.

Fear of anything unpredictable happening.

When Duan Xun returned to Beijing, everyone didn't know how to do it, and there was no definite procedure.So it was Dai Kan and Yang Yongtai who brought the crowd out in person, while Wang Yongjiang stayed on duty.

Duan Xun greeted everyone briefly at the train station.But after all, the train station is not a place to talk about things, so everyone just said a few words, and then immediately took the car and walked directly towards the cabinet.

"Didn't it mean that the Japanese side wants to talk to us? What's the attitude of the Japanese side?"

Duan Xun and Dai Kan got into a car, and Yang Yongtai and others sat in the back car.After getting in the car, Duan Xun asked Dai Kan directly without any nonsense.

The two have worked together for nearly ten years, and they don't need too much politeness.And in the current situation, what happened in Japan, their diplomacy is likely to change anytime and anywhere.

China and Japan are too close, both in East Asia.Therefore, any change in the diplomacy of any country between the two countries will affect the situation in East Asia and the other country.

So Duan Xun is very concerned.

"After sending us an invitation to negotiate, the new Japanese Foreign Minister Koki Hirota met with Wu Chaoshu today."

"What did you say?"

Wu Chaoshu is the Chinese Minister Plenipotentiary in Japan.

The heavier the weight of the other country, the more important the weight of the envoys will be.For China, the relationship with Japan is very important, or it is the most important thing in China's diplomacy.Therefore, the characters sent to Japan also need to be heavy.

Wu Chaoshu is one of Duan Xun's most admired diplomats.

I followed Duan Xun very early.

"What Hirota Koki means is that the new Wakatsuki Reijiro cabinet will abide by the Kato Takaaki cabinet and our 'Beijing Statement', and will continue the policy of the Kato Takaaki cabinet. Moreover, Hirota Koki hopes to expand economic cooperation and trade with us. Wide What Tian Hongyi said inside and outside the words is that they can also provide the machinery and equipment we need, and they will be half cheaper than European and American machinery and equipment. I hope to reach a cooperation agreement with us in this regard.”

"Wakatsuki Reijiro is very interesting."

Duan Xun smiled.

What about Hirohito, the emperor hated by the Chinese?

After handling matters on behalf of Emperor Taisho, the development of Japan's democratic politics in recent years has been very good, or it has become the mainstream view of Japanese politicians.They have been pushing party politics, pushing for a democratized cabinet and parliament.

When Kato Takaaki was the prime minister of the cabinet, the requirements for cabinet members were very simple.

Important figures must be from political parties, hoping to replace the previous Japanese political model with party politics.Because of this, Kijuro Hashihara has deep qualifications, but because Kijuro Hashihara is not from a political party, he only served as foreign minister in the cabinet of Takaaki Kato.

In fact, Kijuro Hashihara has more seniority than Reijiro Wakatsuki.

At this stage, Japan's politics are relatively normal.

That's all I can say.Compared with the fanatical atmosphere in the days of Japanese militarism, the current Japanese politicians understand the seriousness and are not too extreme.

Many things are willing to use political aspects to solve.

"What do you think?"

"We have done everything we can and bought a lot of time for the Korean Independence Army. We cannot do all the rest. Since the problems on the Korean Peninsula today, our country has also spent too much money."

Duan Xun nodded.

I understand what Dai Kan means.
