Beiyang reactionaries

The Democratic Party is not convinced.

Especially Wakatsuki Reijiro and the others, they were not convinced at all.Because they all knew what Tanaka Yoshiichi had done.Therefore, they criticized Tanaka Yoshiichi for violating the election law, using administrative power to wantonly interfere in the election, and using a large amount of money to bribe.If it weren't for this, how could the Political Friends Association get so many seats, and how could there be so many middle-level members supporting Tanaka's cabinet.

Although Reijiro Wakatsuki and the others lost in this election, there are middle-level members who support Yoshiichi Tanaka, but this advantage is very subtle.Those centrist MPs support Yoshiichi Tanaka, many of them because they received financial support from Yoshiichi Tanaka.Those people are fools, and they will fall to others anytime and anywhere.

Therefore, Wakatsuki Reijiro and the others immediately began to concentrate their firepower on criticizing Tanaka Yoshiichi's cabinet and criticizing Tanaka Yoshiichi's illegal actions in this election.The Gerakan Party lost temporarily, but its strength is still strong.When they reacted, they violently attacked Tanaka Yoshiichi, putting enormous pressure on Tanaka Yoshiichi's cabinet.The Democratic Party is not comparable to the Japanese Leftist Alliance that Tanaka Yoshiichi solved before.The Gerakan Party has a large number of political leaders, the support of Japanese chaebols, and a very good relationship with many veterans.

Under strong pressure, Suzuki Suzuki Kisaburo, the inner minister of Tanaka Yoshiichi's cabinet, took the initiative to stand up and admit that these were his mistakes.Kisaburo Suzuki chose to resign because of the scandal of bribery.Keisuke Mochizuki, the postal courier, succeeded Kisaburo Suzuki as Prime Minister.In order to win over the chaebol, Yoshiichi Tanaka gave the vacant postman's seat to Fangosuke Kuhara, who had just been elected as a congressman and had a background in Hitachi Manufacturing.

Kisaburo Suzuki is at fault, and the issue of the election is finally over.We can also see the naivety of Reijiro Wakatsuki and the weakness of the cabinet at this time.

Tanaka Yoshiichi blatantly interfered in the election by using the power and money in his hands.But Kisaburo Suzuki came out and suppressed the matter.

Tanaka Yoshiichi, who has just become the prime minister of the cabinet, proposed to amend the security police law, increase the power of the police, and increase the power of the cabinet.However, this proposal was rejected by the parliament as soon as it was proposed.Although many congressmen fell to Yoshiichi Tanaka, they were not fools.The cabinet and parliament belong to the east wind and the west wind.How could the members of the parliament increase the power of the cabinet and suppress the parliament, so they rejected this proposal.

But who is Yoshiichi Tanaka.

Tanaka Yoshiichi ignored the parliament and promulgated this law in the form of an emergency decree, amending the law on maintaining law and order, strengthening the penalties in the law on maintaining law and order, setting up super-high police throughout the country, and strengthening ideological rule.Faced with such a strong style of Tanaka Yoshiichi, the council has nothing to do.

Tanaka Yoshiichi is testing the bottom line of the parliament step by step and strengthening the power of the cabinet.It can be said that Yoshiichi Tanaka's actions this time have completely destroyed the parliamentary politics that Japan has been developing for decades.The parliament was completely trampled by the political strongman Yoshiichi Tanaka, and even directly denied the role of the parliament.

Because Tanaka Yoshiichi, the cabinet minister, issued the proposal rejected by the parliament directly as a cabinet order.That's all, what's the role of parliament.In the future, Tanaka Yoshiichi can follow the example of this time and continue to bypass the parliament to issue cabinet orders.

Parliament was trampled, but the powers of the Cabinet were greatly increased.Regardless of the fact that Yoshiichi Tanaka's Political Friends Association occupies less than half of the seats in the parliament, Yoshiichi Tanaka has gradually become the most powerful and authoritative cabinet prime minister in recent years.

"Mr. Bei Yihui, hello, I'm Duan Xun."

"President Duan, hello."

After Tanaka Yoshiichi solved the domestic problems, he began to consider external problems.

It's April.

Spring is here, and the situation on the Korean peninsula suddenly became tense again.Because with the arrival of spring, as the heavy snow slowly melts, the war between the Japanese army and the Korean Independence Army will definitely break out again.The Korean Independence Army took advantage of the gap in winter when the Japanese army stopped attacking to train a large number of troops.With the support of the Chinese army, the number of the Korean Independence Army has increased dramatically.

More importantly, the Korean peninsula was not at all stable throughout the winter.Don't look at the war on the front line has stopped, but the interior of the Korean peninsula is still full of turmoil.Because of the war last year, the agriculture of the Korean peninsula was severely hit.Food production plummeted, leading to a food shortage on the Korean peninsula last winter.

This has exacerbated the turmoil on the Korean peninsula.The North Korean government-in-exile used its own channels to scatter a lot of arms on the Korean peninsula, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were scattered among the people on the Korean peninsula.When people have nothing to eat and are starving to death, anything can happen, not to mention the Korean independence movement that has swept across the entire Korean peninsula.Therefore, throughout the winter, armed forces appeared everywhere on the Korean Peninsula to rob food.There are even a lot of daring armed forces, and even attack the Japanese army's logistics.

This makes Japan very angry.

Both China and Japan are now well aware of this.

The war on the Korean peninsula is actually the effort of China and Japan.After Yoshiichi Tanaka carefully understood the current situation on the Korean Peninsula, he understood that as long as China does not let go, the Korean Peninsula issue will never be resolved.

It's not just a problem on the Korean peninsula.

Although Japan calmed down, the financial crisis that occurred in Japan in 1925 dealt a heavy blow to Japan's economy.Spending so much money on the Korean peninsula puts increasing pressure on the Japanese economy.

Including Taiwan is now in chaos, and the economy is in dire straits.

There are too many entanglements between China and Japan.Although China and Japan have been fighting in private, there are also a lot of economic exchanges between the two countries. Japan is unwilling to give up China's big market, and China's resources are even more indispensable to Japan.China also hopes to cooperate with Japan, learn more technology from Japan, and introduce more machinery and equipment.The current situation between China and Japan is that they are fighting on the Korean peninsula, but economic exchanges have begun to increase.

But Yoshiichi Tanaka does not want to engage with China head-on.

chose a roundabout way.

Kita Ikki was released.

Let Bei Yihui come to China in a private capacity to contact senior Chinese government officials.In this regard, Kita Ikki has an absolute advantage.Because Bei Yihui has a very good relationship with the top leaders of the Kuomintang, and they used to participate in the Chinese revolution together.

Among the senior officials of the Duan Xun government, there are many former members of the League.Bei Yihui has a personal relationship with them.Bei Yihui contacted them in a private capacity and expressed some of his views, which soon reached Duan Xun's ears.

So Duan Xun also met Bei Yihui.

This is also a legend.

Many Japanese militarism ideas come from Kita Ikki's ideological system.But they didn't want to see Bei Yihui again.Duan Xun and Bei Yihui meet to talk about some history.

For example, Bei Yihui's participation in the Chinese revolution and so on.

Then he said: "Mr. Bei Yihui, the modern transformation of our country is inseparable from your country. Many of us have learned knowledge from your country and returned to serve our motherland. I am also a graduate of your country's non-commissioned officer school. I learned a lot of knowledge there. Therefore, I have always had a good impression of your country, and I hope that the two countries can be peaceful, and that the two countries can make more contributions to the prosperity and strength of Asia."

"Prime Minister Duan, this is also my idea. After Tanaka-sama became prime minister, we also had a conversation. Tanaka-sama also very much hopes that China and Japan can work together for common development."

Bei Yihui spoke immediately.

Duan Xun smiled slightly.

From Bei Yihui's contact with the high-level Chinese government, Duan Xun knew that Bei Yihui was sent by Tanaka Yoshiichi.Kita Ikki is a scholar who has written a lot and has a wealth of theoretical knowledge, but he is definitely not a sophisticated political figure.

After only two sentences, he immediately stated his purpose.

Said that he is the representative of Yoshiichi Tanaka.Of course, he did not directly say that he is the representative of Tanaka Yoshiichi, but the meaning is very obvious.This made Duan Xun very funny.

"Yes. Our two countries have great opportunities for development. Economically, politically, and militarily, I think we all have great opportunities for cooperation."

Bei Yihui came to test the attitude of the top Chinese government.

I want to know if the high-level Chinese government has any ideas for cooperation, or what the high-level Chinese government thinks about Japan.In fact, why didn't Duan Xun want to get in touch with Tian Zhongyi, so that the two sides could sit down and have a good talk.So Duan Xun didn't hide it.

Anyway, Bei Yihui is just a Japanese scholar on the surface, a friend of the Japanese Revolutionary Party, and one of the heroes of the Republic of China.The conversation between Duan Xun and Bei Yihui today must have spread to Tanaka Yoshiichi.Therefore, Duan Xun said directly: "Our two countries are neighbors separated by a strip of water, and our friendship can be traced back to thousands of years ago. Moreover, we are both Eastern countries, and we have a lot of common culture, which belongs to the Eastern culture. The Western world now occupies the mainstream of the world. At that time, our two countries, as big countries in Asia, should take responsibility and contribute to the prosperity and strength of Asian countries. It can be said that our two countries have a lot of political basis for cooperation."

"Economically, your country is an industrial country with well-developed education and good technical reserves, but lacks resources. China is an agricultural country with poor education and poor industrial technology capabilities, but rich resources. Your country needs industrial development resources, while our country needs more education and industrial technology. Moreover, our country has a large population and a large market, and our own industrial products cannot meet domestic needs, so we have to import a lot of industrial products every year. Therefore, our two countries can completely Complementary economically."

"The same is true in the military. Our country is a traditional continental country, and the army is the top priority of our military, and it is also the military branch that our country focuses on developing. And your country is a world naval power, and its naval strength is among the best in the world. The navy needs money and technology, and it will not be able to develop in a short time. In order to save military expenses and maintain the strength of the army, my country will not build cruisers and battleships in the next ten years. So I really hope and Your country cooperates and is supported by your navy at sea."

"Of course, these are just my casual remarks."

Duan Xun is very casual.

It's like chatting at home.

But the purpose of Bei Yihui's trip is to know the attitude of the top Chinese government.In China, Duan Xun's attitude as a "semi-dictator" is the most important.

Knowing Duan Xun's attitude, one can roughly know the attitude of the Chinese government.Therefore, Bei Yihui firmly remembered Duan Xun's casual words.

Economic, political, and military, three aspects.

Duan Xun said from three aspects that there is a basis for cooperation between China and Japan.As for the conflicts between China and Japan, including the issues of the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan, they did not mention a single word.

Bei Yihui firmly remembered what Duan Xun said.Because every sentence of Duan Xun may be a message, Bei Yihui needs to relay them to Tanaka Yoshiichi.

"Prime Minister Duan, our two countries do have a lot to cooperate with."

"of course."

Duan Xun nodded.
