Beiyang reactionaries

This time the Chinese army made some unusual moves, including the dispatch of dozens of aircraft from the Air Force, which made Japan hesitate.Saito said that they were worried about another air attack from China, so they postponed the war on the Korean peninsula, first to see what China meant, and did not want to provoke China.With such hesitation, it bought a lot of time for the Korean Independence Army.

Starting from the August [-]th Incident in Japan, they bought them more than ten days.With this time, the Korean Independence Army will definitely be able to redeploy the line of defense and give them a breather.What the frontline needs can also be quickly supplied to them.

China has already done its best.

When China and Japan will not be fighting head-on, many things must be handled by the Korean Independence Army itself.If they don't know how to fight, Duan Xun spent so much money to support them, wouldn't it all be in vain.In order to support the North Korean Independence Army, Duan Xun invested tens of millions of funds in them in the past two years.

In the past few months, how many shells and bullets have they used.

Japan's finances are not good, and China's finances are not good either.In recent years, China's government debt has also been increasing.Like this year, in order to plug the financial hole, the government printed about 5000 million more French currency.

Although not a lot, it still began to impact the price market in China.

"Well, let Wu Chaoshu talk to Hirota Hongyi. I am very interested in their desire to expand economic cooperation, especially to sell us machinery and equipment. It would be perfect if they could sign a more detailed contract in this regard. "

The quality of European and American machinery and equipment is very good, Duan Xun is very sure of this.

But their quality is good, and the price is also very expensive.Their machines are inherently expensive, and there are some middlemen in the middle who eat money, plus travel expenses, etc., the price is already very expensive after arriving in China.In comparison, the machinery and equipment produced in Japan are much cheaper than them, and China and Japan are neighbors, and they can be shipped back in a short time.In addition, direct transactions between China and Japan do not require middlemen.

If a large-scale cooperation in machinery and equipment can be reached with Japan, China does not know how much money it can save.It has a huge boost to the economies of China and Japan.Political enemies belong to political enemies, and business can still be done underneath.These two are not contradictory.

"I agree."

"Now we can try our best to buy some time for the Korean Independence Army. It is now mid-August, and we have postponed the time until late August to give the Korean Independence Army more time to prepare. Then we will fight again, as long as the Korean Independence Army If you can persist for more than a month, the temperature in Hyesan County will drop extremely rapidly. At the end of September or early October, the first snow will come there. As long as the temperature drops, as long as it starts to snow, the Japanese army's logistics will be As the situation becomes more and more difficult, the pressure from the Japanese army will increase. It’s just that I don’t know if the Korean Independence Army can win.”

The Korean peninsula was in chaos for half a year, China spent a lot of money, and Japan spent even more money.Although both China and Japan have financial problems, in terms of size, Japan is not China's opponent at all.

Although Japan developed earlier than China, Japan cannot compare with China in terms of private wealth.Although saying that Wanqing's GDP ranks first in the world is a bit bragging.But it is certain that Chinese people have wealth, and the wealth reserves are very amazing.This is far from what Japan can compare.

And this time the crisis on the Korean peninsula, Japan suffered a lot, and the amount spent by Japan was several times that of China.Therefore, Japan's financial crisis is very serious.

If it drags on, even if it is because of the arrival of winter, the problem of Huishan County cannot be solved.At that time, Japan's finances are likely to collapse.

So Duan Xun hopes that the Korean Independence Army can drag it on until this winter.Procrastinate, continue to procrastinate, the Korean peninsula will continue to be chaotic next year.It's so chaotic that Japan can't solve it at all.

"Prime Minister, as long as the Korean Independence Army can drag on, Japan will be the first to collapse. This is Wu Chaoshu's recent report to China, which comprehensively analyzes Japan's political, economic, and military issues. I think there will be some progress along the way. For a long time, the Prime Minister must be very anxious, so he brought it with him."

As he spoke, Dai Kan took out a document from his bag.

The word "Top Secret" was directly stamped on it.Even in the cabinet, this is a secret that only a few cabinet members can see.Duan Xun took it and took it apart, and then looked at the contents inside.

While watching, he nodded again and again.

Although we know that Japan's economic problems are serious and Japan's financial crisis is serious, we did not expect it to reach such a serious level.The Japanese consulate in China, in addition to dealing with the Chinese government, is to collect Chinese intelligence, in fact it is an intelligence agency.Similarly, Wu Chaoshu and the others have the same function in Japan.

Japan recruited some of the Chinese students, developed them into spies, and sent them back to China.On the other hand, China also uses a large number of students studying in Japan to fish in troubled waters to train a large number of intelligence personnel.

Wu Chaoshu got a lot of information about Japan's politics, economy, and military, plus some of his own opinions, which were all written in it.

outstanding.

Duan Xun likes it very much.

"The Japanese economy is really in a precarious state."

"Yes."

"Do you guys have any ideas?"

Because Duan Xun went south, the cabinet was divided into two halves.Those who went south with Duan Xun became a headquarters, and those who stayed in Beijing also formed a headquarters.

The headquarters going south can be called a headquarters because of the existence of Duan Xun.Those who stay in Beijing are dealing with the daily affairs of the cabinet.Because Dai Kan, Wang Yongjiang, and Yang Yongtai are all vice premiers in Beijing.

"Look for the right opportunity and strike a fatal blow. The current Japanese banking system is fragile, and a slight disturbance will inevitably cause a national run. By then, not one or two banks will go bankrupt in Japan. It is very likely that more than half of the banks in the country will go bankrupt. If this happens, Japan's economy will collapse completely. It will not recover in a short time."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

Japan's banking crisis is very serious now. During the Great Kanto Earthquake, the hundreds of millions of bad debts in disaster relief bills cannot be resolved, and the fiscal deficit has been serious in recent years, so too many national bonds have been issued.

Not to mention that Japan has adopted a method of vigorously depreciating the yen in order to export materials.Unfortunately, it backfired and made European and American countries furious.Not only did it raise tariffs on Japanese goods, but it also kicked the yen out of the ranks of the world's trading currencies, and adopted various measures to combat Japanese exports.Moreover, Japan's foreign debt is also very serious, with a lot of interest every year.After the depreciation of the yen, the pressure on annual repayment increased rapidly.

This is also the reason why Takaaki Kato eased relations with European and American countries after he took office.Bring back the global trade panic caused by the depreciation of the yen to the original situation.

But just after some effect, Kato Takaaki was assassinated.Therefore, many banks in Japan are cautious because there are too many bad debts.

"Huesan County must persist. Even if the Korean Independence Army is wiped out, the war in Hyesan County will not end. Looking at Japan's current financial situation, as long as it persists for a while, Japan's finances will inevitably be short of money again. In order to maintain the Korean peninsula war, Japan will inevitably issue national debt again. When the time comes, it will be an opportunity.”

"We thought so too."

"Brother Xunruo (Dai Kan), looking at the current situation in Japan, once the Japanese economy is in crisis, they may stimulate their military again. Those people are a bunch of lunatics, even the lunatics who dare to assassinate the cabinet prime minister. Those people At that time, it may be possible to use war to solve the problem. The only war target Japan can find is us, so we must be prepared."

"kindness."

"So I think we invest more money in the armored forces and the air force, to increase the strength of the army, and to deal with future challenges. But you know the current financial situation, Premier Wang (Wang Yongjiang) will definitely not agree to increase Military spending."

"I support the prime minister's proposal."

Dai Kan nodded, understanding what Duan Xun meant.

Wang Yongjiang is a stubborn donkey, and he has the temper of a scholar.The financial problems have been very serious in the past two years, and Wang Yongjiang has done his best for the finances.

But still not easy.

He has long been dissatisfied with too much military expenditure. This year, because of the Korean peninsula problem, he has increased a lot of extra expenditure.If Duan Xun wants to increase military spending, he will definitely slap the table and scold his mother.That's why Duan Xun communicated with Dai Kan early.

"As long as Japan is resolved, everything is easy to talk about."

"kindness."

"This is some of the situation I saw during my trip to the south. I have already sent a telegram to everyone for the simple situation, and I just added more information. Now let's discuss it, and look at the issue of household registration and university admissions. How should it be handled."

Duan Xun returned to Nanjing from Anqing, and then returned to Beijing because of the mutiny in Japan.Duan Xun is worried about changes in Japan's foreign policy, especially worried that the radical Japanese military will come to power, and war may break out.That's why I ended all the trips and returned to Beijing.

However, after the official meeting, Duan Xun was not the first to discuss this matter, and this matter was pushed back.Because for China, or for Duan Xun, diplomacy is very important, external conditions are very important, but compared with its own problems, its own problems are more important.

China is a country with a large land area. Although there is no careful survey, it is possible that China's land area has reached more than 100 million square kilometers.The population is also large. The current population must have exceeded [-] million, and it may even reach [-] million.With China's size, as long as it is stable and there are no internal problems, no one can conquer China.At present, Duan Xun still attaches great importance to the great powers and has a lot of fear.

But in fact, the worries about the great powers have been reduced to the extreme.

Because of what?

Because the China of today is not the China of ten years ago.Duan Xun's regime has stabilized, and Duan Xun now has 150 million troops in his hands.The army is Duan Xun's guts. The 150 million fully armed army gives Duan Xun a deep sense of security.In the current world, no big power wants to bully China like it did during the Sino-Japanese War and the Eight-Power Allied Forces.So Duan Xun is still most concerned about his own affairs.

As long as you are strong, the great powers are nothing.
