the world is at stake

If you occupy Kyushu today, will you set foot on Shikoku Island tomorrow?The day after tomorrow, I will go to the main island of Japan to step on it.In three to five years, China will come to swallow it again, and it will be too late for Mei to save her!

Regarding this completely unacceptable condition, Toyoshima Jiro slapped the document directly on the short table and said angrily: "Once Kyushu Island is ceded, Japan will soon lose all autonomy. This must not be agreed."

Kira lowered his head and silently took the file back.

For the next half hour, the two senior naval officers sat opposite each other.One hummed angrily, while the other knelt and sat silent.One doesn't chase people away, and the other doesn't speak.

At the end of the exhaustion, Toyoshima became impatient, and shouted displeasedly: "Mr. Kira, the situation in the country is so corrupted. If you have anything to say, hurry up and stop playing charades."

With his head drooping, Kira said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, you know that a rice-grabbing riot occurred in Kyushu Island recently. Chinese spies organized it on a large scale.

Government officials and the police are very sympathetic to the people robbing the rice and are unwilling to stop them at all.Several divisions stationed in Kyushu started to suppress it, causing thousands of casualties so far. "

China currently has a land area of ​​more than 1000 square kilometers, with nearly 40 million residents, making it densely populated.But Japan has 5000 million residents in a land of less than [-] square kilometers, which is simply a population explosion.

"The Chinese spies you mentioned are the communists, right?" Toyoshima pointed to a stack of newspapers at hand, "I listened to the radio and read the newspapers recently. Those guys seize our current predicament and provoke speeches are very deceptive force."

If there is a food shortage of 20.00%, food prices will skyrocket three to four times; if there is a food shortage of 30.00%, looting incidents cannot be curbed; if there is a food shortage of [-]%, social unrest is inevitable and people will starve to death.

A normal adult needs to consume [-] calories a day to maintain the body's needs.If it is a heavy physical worker, the calorie requirement is more than [-] calories.

If the calorie intake is less than 1000 or [-] calories, hunger will magnify the animal nature of human beings hundreds of times, and they can do all kinds of bad things, and ethics and laws will be dead letters.

"As far as I know, Tokyo's grain storage is less than 20 days. In Osaka and Kyoto, it has been reduced to [-] days. In Kyushu... the grain storage is insufficient, and the food needs to be sent to Tokyo, which leads to riots.

At present, the troops stationed in Kyushu can still eat enough, and they are willing to suppress the people.But if one day even the army can't get enough to eat, what will be the consequence?

Many residents of Kyushu flocked to Fukuoka in an attempt to cross the sea and escape to Tsushima Island.Just because the Chinese broadcast that they are willing to provide humanitarian assistance, the situation over there has collapsed to the point where it cannot be added. "

Jiliang went around in circles for a long time, not saying what he was doing here.

Toshima was upset when he heard a lot of news about the turmoil brought about by the food shortage—the guard soldiers dared to openly deduct his three meals a day. Could he not know how serious the food shortage was?

Neither of the two would reveal their truth, and spent from noon to night.The guarding soldiers brought dinner, which was a bowl of miso soup and two rice balls with mixed grains.

"Your Excellency, as a major general, you actually eat this?" Kira spent a long time explaining how miserable the people are, only to realize that His Excellency Toyoshima has already experienced it himself.

Toyoshima felt ashamed, and shouted viciously: "What are you trying to find me for?"

The sum of two rice balls with two grains is not as big as a fist, and it can't fill your stomach at all.

Watching the major general stuff two rice balls into his mouth in one gulp, Kira wanted to laugh inexplicably.Without further hesitation, he lowered his voice and said, "The Chinese military wants our aircraft carrier."

After losing three battle cruisers, the four still-movable 'Fengxiang'-class aircraft carriers are the last trump card in the hands of the Japanese military.

Kira continued: "The Chinese navy is building a large fleet of aircraft carriers by itself. But it will take three years at the fastest from construction to launch to service.

The idea of ​​the Chinese is to get all six Japanese aircraft carriers, including the two that are still outfitting in Tokyo, so as to shorten the formation time of the aircraft carrier force.

The Chinese government promised that for every aircraft carrier we hand over, they would provide 50 tons of food.They're willing to stop the war if we hand them all over. "

Japan's six aircraft carriers were built only after squeezing the country's funds, and they are really irreplaceable military weapons.When Toyoshima heard that China wanted an aircraft carrier, his face jumped, and he stared indifferently: "Will the military agree?"

"Certainly not." Kira shook his head, "So we have to launch a mutiny, eradicate the upper-level forces in the military, let Prime Minister Miura take power, and let real politicians decide the fate of the country."

"What do you want me to do?" Toyoshima continued to ask, staring.

"The four operational aircraft carriers are currently in Yokosuka, and the officers, soldiers and carrier-based aircraft units on board lack a unified command. We need a general who can convince everyone."

After Kira finished speaking, he knelt down in front of Toyoshima, "Your Excellency, if you don't overthrow the diehards in the military, many people will die in Japan. Please help us.

This year, the production of summer grain has decreased, and the harvest of autumn grain is almost complete. The country does not have much grain reserves at all.If it is delayed until next spring, we will have no capital to confront China.Someone has to change all this. "

Toyoshima figured out that Kira didn't really come to visit him, and it was clear that a group of guys who wanted to make a mutiny wanted to drag him into the water.If you master three or four hundred "ship attack" and "ship battle" during the mutiny, you have mastered a powerful force.

Toyoshima felt his heart beating, and asked in a deep voice: "Kirara, who is standing behind you? Your Excellency Miura who is not in power? No, everyone knows that the Prime Minister has no basic personal freedom.

You can come to me, or a small number of people want to engage in "down and up", which is unlikely.Or there are other forces supporting it.There is no such force in Japan, and abroad...there is only China. "

Kira didn't deny it, it was his acquiescence.

"Besides the navy, do you have any supporters in the army?" Toyoshima asked, "Tokyo has a guard division stationed there. How do you plan to deal with them?"

"We have more supporters in the army than in the navy. After all, the life of the red deer is more difficult than that of the navy. But the Guards Division is indeed a problem, so we decided to kill them."

"How can we kill His Majesty's direct guards? That is a first-class division with a strength of more than 2 troops. The equipment and training are the best in Japan. It is absolutely impossible for the division commander, Your Excellency Akiyama Yoshiko, to betray the Emperor."

Kira hesitated for a while, and told him frankly: "Rely on the Japanese Liberation Army."

Toyoshima was taken aback, and asked, "Did the Chinese transport that Japanese army to Tokyo?"

"Of course not." Kira shook his head, "But we still have our own strength and heavy equipment such as tanks. In fact, we have to act regardless of whether we have carrier-based aircraft to help."

Toyoshima was sullen, breathing more and more heavily, "If I refuse, what will happen to you?"

Kira looked directly at his boss, coughed slightly, and said, "Then I can only be sorry."

The guard soldiers who skipped three meals in Toshima came in from the house under house arrest, holding a [-]-style rifle with a bayonet in their hands, and staring fiercely.

"Okay, the mutiny must be ruthless enough." Toyoshima knew that he had no choice but to die or join the gang.

Chapter 28 Either hang a street lamp or accept a transformation

Tokyo, Ginza Street.

A long row of western-style buildings sandwiches a 30-meter-wide road.The criss-crossing wires spread along the side of the road, trams and cars crowded together, and the sidewalks were bustling with passers-by.

Araki, dressed as a business employee, walked along the street with his head down.A few stylishly dressed Chinese women came out of the shop in front of him, chuckled and whispered, and walked towards the vehicles parked on the side of the road surrounded by the compliments of shop assistants and servants.

The women wore cloche hats and western skirts, and their short stature was matched nondescriptly.But the passers-by saw all of them out of the way, and would rather stop if they couldn't dodge, so as not to collide.

Because Western skirts are currently the most popular style in Japan, those who can afford them are either rich or expensive.In Japan, where the hierarchy is strict, ordinary people can't afford to mess with it.

Ginza Avenue is the most prosperous area in Tokyo. There are red brick buildings imitating London, Western-style restaurants and clothing stores, and even high-end spenders spend money here.

For ordinary people, being a clerk serving the Chinese in a shop on this street is the pinnacle of life, which is enough to boast to relatives and friends.If you can be rewarded or even favored by some nobles, that is supreme luck.

Araki never felt that there was anything wrong with enjoying the superiority of the Japanese Chinese before, and everything was justified.But after staying in China for so many years, he was extremely disgusted with the insurmountable class barriers.

Now China has only been engaged in industrialization for seven years, but it has solidly tapped talents from the bottom and transported them upward.When Araki was driving a tram in the imperial capital, he could really feel the efforts made by the central government to let rural children go to school and young adults enter factories.

In terms of media promotion, Japan will only emphasize the emperor's "one line of life" and his blood is noble.

Chinese newspapers openly scolded the 'city lords' and 'waste bureaucrats'.Whose family is not a farmer who planed food on the ground for several generations?What to wear?

According to the regulations of the central government, after the establishment of coal-fired power plants in major cities, hospitals and schools must be connected to electricity first.Maternal and infant mortality rates and the school attendance rate of school-age children are mandatory indicators for evaluating the performance of grassroots officials.

The Meiji Restoration in Japan also had a similar change process, but it rarely absorbed the bottom elite to join the senior civil servants.In contrast, the current Chinese government likes to cultivate grassroots party organizations in order to alleviate social conflicts and break down class boundaries.

In just seven years, most of China's bureaucracy has been replaced.In particular, the original low-level bureaucrats have low capabilities, outdated concepts, and rampant corruption, which is the focus of being cleaned up.

Ordinary people work hard, and they feel that life has a bright future.

Even the Japanese nationals who were detained at the beginning felt lucky.For example, many technicians of the original "Manchurian Railway" were rewarded for their hard work. After becoming Chinese nationals, they entered the Ministry of Railways and became officials.

In Japan, however, the upward channel opened during the Meiji period was closed again, and ordinary people have obvious promotion ceilings in the army and officialdom—if they are not Chinese, they will not be able to get up, and they will die at the grassroots level.

A few unkempt homeless men came out of the street, carrying wine bottles and shaking them.When they saw the Chinese women who had just shopped, they yelled and sweared.

Servants and clerks ran out to yell at the expulsion, and policemen with clubs were soon called.The vagrants were beaten with sticks, and the wine bottles turned into shattered glass all over the floor, but their bleeding heads were singing the "Song of Restoration".

"Baga, you are not allowed to sing prohibited songs, or you will be punished as a Chinese spy." The policeman who maintained order was anxious, whistled to call for more companions, and dragged the homeless man away.

The small disturbance attracted the attention of many passers-by, but it soon dissipated.Araki just passed by with his head down, although he saw it, his expression was blank, and he left without thinking about it.

There are more and more homeless people in Tokyo. They used to dare not approach Ginza Street, but now they appear frequently.The police are already exhausted, and many small matters cannot be managed at all.

As for the reason, the economy collapsed.

After the resignation of President Marcos of the United States, not only did the US aid disappear, but the huge US market was also closed to Japan--China and the US can still complement each other in trade, and the US and Japan are just one-way blood transfusions.

When American businessmen go to Japan, they will find it extremely difficult to sell nothing in this ghost place.Those with purchasing power are limited to a very small number of the upper class, and the poor at the bottom are like beggars.

China is also poor, and seven years is not enough to change the basic situation of a weak country and poor people.If you go to any village, you can always find a large number of poor people living under dilapidated houses.

However, the size advantage and centralized procurement still allow European and American businessmen to make a lot of money in China.

After losing the American market, in just six months, thousands of silk reeling factories in Tokyo went bankrupt, and [-] workers lost their jobs.When Chinese women wear DuPont's latest nylon stockings to the streets in summer, countless low-level families are trapped in poverty.

If it is in China, the government will try every means to carry out production and save itself. If it is impossible, they will emigrate to the sea and go to Southeast Asia, Africa and South America to seek a living.

But in Japan, there is nothing.

Even if there is no food shortage, an unprecedented economic crisis is sweeping Japan.The military that controls the government is full of thoughts of winning the war and getting compensation, and they don't know how to deal with the current predicament.

Miura Naikang hopes that the Bank of Japan will take the initiative to grant loans to small and medium-sized enterprises that are in business difficulties, so as to preserve employment.However, the army and navy did not agree to spend the money—the 5000 million citizens must be sympathetic to the country's difficulties, tighten their belts and continue to expand the army.

How similar it was before the disintegration of the Soviet Union.The economy is collapsing, logistics are disrupted, and store shelves are empty.The bureaucracy has completely disregarded the public opinion and insisted on going its own way.But the rich and powerful are still singing and singing every night, wanting extravagance and extravagance.

The destination of Araki's trip was Tokyo Station. He deliberately changed the mode of transportation many times, from taking a taxi to finally walking there, to get rid of possible stalkers—the Japanese police are not vegetarians either.

In the VIP waiting room at Tokyo Station, President Mizuno of Fuji Steel and a dozen representatives of Japanese industry and commerce waited for a long time.

As soon as the two sides met, Mizuno asked very rudely: "Your Excellency Araki, why should I believe that you are such an intelligence broker who betrayed Japan? Your position is completely different from ours."

The Japanese chaebols are left over from the Edo period and have intricate ties with the Chinese.They can get low-interest loans from the bank to expand, and if the business fails, they will throw the bad burden to the government and turn it into a state-owned enterprise.

This kind of routine of "accounting for one's own fortune and counting the country's loss" is very popular in capitalism, and it is also common in "later generations" China.Ordinary people often think that corruption is a crime for officials, and that capitalists are honored to rely on their own efforts.

In fact, how much money does corruption only make?Dig the corner of socialism to get money quickly.

If these Japanese capitalists hadn't been confused by the dual military and economic crisis, the food shortage alone would not be enough to make them bow their heads.These people never care about life and death at the bottom.

In response to President Mizuno's question, Araki sat down at a random place, lazily took out a letter from his arms, "This is the acquisition briefing written by Ms. Yilan, Minister of Finance and Commerce of China, you can read it. "

A dozen or so clauses were written on a few thin pages, to the effect that after Japan regains political stability, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of China will reorganize large Japanese companies, inject capital into acquisitions, and carry out technical and management transformations.

This is a bit similar to "later generations" after the Asian financial crisis in 98, the American consortium bought Korean companies at low prices, making Samsung and other large companies become wage earners in the United States.

Mizuno is satisfied with the amount of capital injection from the Chinese side, but very annoyed at the loss of controlling stake.

He handed the paper to other business representatives to browse, and continued to shout angrily: "The Chinese government wants to control our factory, which is unacceptable."

In the past, Araki could only bow his head and ears in front of these powerful people, but now whenever he faces the anger of these big men, he always feels happy, even funny.

"With the help of the Chinese government, the Japanese Communist Party has developed rapidly. In Nagasaki, Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo and other places, there are people from the Japanese underground liberation army everywhere.

You fat-brained capitalists have never imagined that the impoverished workers who have been exploited by you have joined our ranks with such enthusiasm.

No one wants to sell springs in Nanyang, and no one wants to go crabbing in Hokkaido.No one wants to soak their hands in scalding lye in a steamy silk reeling workshop.

This food shortage throughout the country has thoroughly stimulated the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people.The current Tokyo is like a pile of dry firewood, which can be ignited with just a spark-if you are going to starve to death, why don't you capitalists die together? "

Angry voices echoed in the VIP room, and the representatives of the big consortium were at a loss as if they were facing a late-night nightmare emerging from the darkness.

It was good not to mention the food shortage, but when Mizuno heard the word 'grain shortage', he became furious and shouted angrily: "The food shortage is a conspiracy by you traitors to create social unrest.

The military department sent people to investigate the granaries across the country, and found that someone was secretly reselling grain.There are hundreds of thousands of tons of grain on the books, but there is nothing in the warehouse.Now that the army is almost short of food, your conscience is too bad. "

Araki became even angrier, pointed at Mizuno and cursed: "You capitalists are the ones who resell the most grain. You know that Japan is short of grain, but you actually sell grain to the outside world.

I can eat rice from Kyushu and even Hokkaido in China.In order to make money, what can't you country moths do?

I can tell you clearly that if you don’t accept the transformation of communism, just wait for the street lamps to be hung.The underground PLA in Tokyo is already strong enough to overthrow the corrupt military headquarters and financial groups at any time.

If you cooperate, you can still retain part of your property and life.If you don't cooperate, you will be buried with the bastards from the military department. "

I don't know if these words are scaring people or they are true, but when I said them, Mizuno and other dignitaries felt numb in their hearts.Several representatives from Kawasaki and Mitsubishi next to them quickly acted as peacemakers, persuading the two parties in the negotiation to save face and not be too rude.

The annual production capacity of the 150-ton converter of "Later Generation" can reach 200 million tons.China's annual output of crude steel can exceed one billion tons, and it can be used up by self-produced and self-sold.

Now China is too short of steel, and the annual output of crude steel is only 800 million tons, which is not as good as some county-level steel factories a hundred years later.

The iron and steel, shipbuilding, machinery, chemical and other systems established by Japan under the militarism are still very good.Marco was worried that China would swallow Japan, and its strength would skyrocket. 'Holy Light' naturally wouldn't leave this piece of fat behind.

On behalf of the central government, Araki gave an ultimatum to the Japanese chaebols, either to be buried with the old society and the old system, or to accept reform to save face.

This is also not a choice!

Chapter 29 'The Vulture'

Tokyo, Chiyoda Ward, Imperial Hotel.

This hotel is just south of the Imperial Palace of the Little Devil Emperor. Standing in front of the tenth floor window of the hotel, you can see the moat of the Imperial Palace and the layers of building roofs inside.

Katya has stayed in more than a dozen cities around the world in the past five years, and the most comfortable one is really in Tokyo.She was very satisfied with the little devil's attitude and skill in serving people.

Two young Japanese maids knelt on the floor in front of the French windows, carefully put white socks on Katya, and had to praise the delicate skin of the Russian girl, which was different from ordinary European women, which was enviable.

The make-up artist invited from the Tokyo Drama Club was painting Katya's improved Japanese-style makeup—not the kind of blackened lips with white powder, but big eyes and pink skin, which looks very cute and conforms to the Chinese aesthetics.

Makeup artists carefully figure out the needs of their employers, and at the same time they have to learn to master the techniques, so that they can provide the latest and most fashionable fashion dresses to the ladies and ladies in Tokyo when they go out.

Known for her mystery, Katya likes to appear around the world in the most fashionable posture, not only laying down an intelligence network, but also blowing waves of fashion with her beauty and grace.

She returned to Japan this time with an important mission to lead a mutiny that changed the geopolitical structure of East Asia.

Under the high-pressure policy and ruthless exploitation of militarism, Japan can only maintain the legitimacy of the ruling class by continuously winning victories and spoils of war.
