the world is at stake

Once the military aristocracy fails in its external expansion, its downfall will be inevitable.If there is an external pusher at this moment, it will naturally be worse.

Regardless of whether it was Kira who recruited Toyoshima to join the gang, or Araki's ultimatum to Japanese political and business representatives, the Chinese government still wants to retain a group of elites who can govern Japan and avoid the collapse of social and public services.

According to the internal deduction of "Holy Light", it is impossible to swallow up a country that already has a strong national consciousness. It must share the benefits, win over some vested interests, and evolve in an orderly manner.

When ordinary Japanese people realize the benefits of being dogs to China, everything will come naturally.

But the Japanese military is not a fool.

On August 8, the military headquarters in Tokyo issued a nationwide martial law order.

Terauchi Masaki and Yamamoto Gonbei, who control the Army Ministry and the Navy Ministry, have successively received reports from multiple channels that some rebels are trying to trigger a mutiny in Tokyo.

Tokyo's public security and Metropolitan Police Department felt very nervous, and then arrested people everywhere, looking for the mastermind behind the scenes.But they almost filled the prison, and they failed to find the important person who planned the mutiny.

In fact, this important person has been under the nose of the Metropolitan Police Department, enjoying the best service and treatment in Tokyo at the Imperial Hotel in Chiyoda District.

The beauty's make-up was not yet done, and the maid knocked on the door outside the living room.

Sullivan, a British guy in a suit, walked in and stared at the hostess of the private room with greedy and amazed eyes.Because of her beauty, she is very famous in the entire Tokyo circle and even in Europe and America.

"Honey, I have done everything you asked me to do." Sullivan approached Katya, trying to shake Katya's hand in an affectionate tone, "All six British and French cargo ships have arrived at the port, and the goods are in the port. Area loading and unloading."

"Thank you very much..." Katya kept staring at herself in the vanity mirror, and never looked back at Sullivan.She raised her finger, and the maid took out a beautiful small box from the drawer beside the table, and handed it out.

Since the British forces were kicked out of China seven years ago, British businessmen have naturally filled many unofficial businesses.

From purchasing equipment that is prohibited from export, to smuggling Japanese engineers, or reselling Chinese products, and even helping to establish an intelligence network around the world, the British are the best helpers to do things for money.

It doesn't matter even if it harms the interests of the British Empire, as long as the price is right. They are the most unscrupulous group of brokers, and they never take ethics and laws seriously.

Inside the box was a check for £[-], payable at the Royal Bank of Scotland in Tokyo.Sullivan was satisfied with the amount of the check, but he didn't reach out to take it, and continued to call "Dear Katya" tenderly...

Katya was full of reluctance, and said displeasedly: "Mr. Sullivan, please don't disgust me. You and I are just making a deal, don't play a lover in front of me.

Also, I told you earlier that I have a man, a man who can jump on me, tear my coat off, rip off my skirt, unbutton my panties, and fuck me until I cry and beg for mercy.

My man is absolutely strong, I like the feeling of being conquered by him from heart to body.In his arms, I am pitiful and helpless, everything is in his hands.As long as he gives a little affection, I can feel a wave of emotion.

And you... have nothing to compare with him. "

Katya has been a follower for more than ten years, but the seven years of working for Zhou Qingfeng are the most comfortable.Just because a man can inject strong positive energy into her, which not only rejuvenates the body, but also restores youth and delays aging.

When she uttered her inner feelings in a chant tone, Sullivan was so shocked and jealous to death—the lively beauty in front of her was active in the vanity fairs of major cities in the world, and the man who was willing to bow down under her skirt was like a crucian carp crossing the river .

This rose with thorns is both noble and unrestrained, but also reserved and glamorous.There are many legends about her beauty, but she has never been heard of having an affair with any powerful person.It is precisely because of this that the man who wants to capture her is more eager to conquer.

Unexpectedly, she said the words "like to be fucked hard" like a slut-Sullivan's heart was surging, his face was flushed, and he only hated that the leading actor was not himself.

"By the way, Lord Sullivan, I have booked a room for you, and I have to trouble you to stay in the hotel for a day or two." Katya resumed her graceful posture, "In case you run around these two days and cause unnecessary trouble."

Sullivan felt hopeful again, and asked with a smile, "Is this caring for me?"

"Don't think too much, it's just house arrest. There are already several people who have been treated similarly to you." Katya waved her hand, impatiently asking the maid to take Sullivan down.

The British guy still wanted to show his dedication to love, but found that the short maid pointed a small pistol at him, and then realized that the situation was far more serious than imagined.

When leaving the living room, Sullivan saw several Japanese waiting for Katya to be received.

Although the visitor had changed into casual clothes, judging from the walking posture, it was very obvious that he was a soldier who had served all the year round.This made the Briton even more astonished. When he wrote his memoirs in the future, the scene in front of him was undoubtedly a highlight.

When the Japanese soldiers in casual clothes entered the living room, Katya looked much more serious.The visitor said sternly: "Ma'am, the 'Vulture Squadron' arrived in Osaka, and everything went very smoothly."

The news made Katya's tense face slightly relaxed, and she asked back, "No outsiders noticed?"

The plain-clothes soldier replied: "It's hard to say. Someone may find out, but at least we didn't issue a warning on the inside of the military headquarters. In addition, Tokyo has no idea what we are going to do, and it is currently unprepared."

Katya looked down at her watch, the time was two o'clock in the afternoon on August 8th.She said in a deep voice: "Osaka is only 7 kilometers away from Tokyo, and it takes at most an hour and a half for the 'Vulture' to fly here. Order our internal lines to evacuate."

All the soldiers in plain clothes nodded 'Hi', expressing their obedience.

At Kansai Airport in Osaka at the moment, four 'H-1's flying over from Busan, North Korea landed on the airport runway.The red five stars of the National Defense Forces have been erased from the fuselage, without any appearance logo.

However, the Japanese ground staff at the airport had seen the "Illustrated Book of Enemy Aircraft" and could recognize that this was the Chinese bomber that had recently made a splash.

This type of fighter can carry a maximum load of two tons and a maximum combat radius of [-] kilometers. The guided bombs it carries have astonishing precision and extremely high bombing efficiency.

On the tower of the airport, an air force major held the intercom microphone and greeted the "comrades" who came from afar on the radio, and reported the weather and air crew conditions in Tokyo today.

In the cabin of the fighter plane, the pilot, navigator, and bombardier were all silent, and only communicated with the control tower politely.Especially the bombardier, if there is trouble, he will press the self-destruct device to blow up the radio guidance device on the plane.

The airport ground staff added fuel to the 'H-1' to ensure that it could continue the rest of the flight.Kansai Airport will also take off two trainer planes to guide the 'H-1'.

In the cabin of the leading 'H-1', the two-seat driver and navigator nervously looked out the glass window, muttering in a low voice.

"Are we going deep into the enemy's territory?"

"You little devil is going to die. You fought us to the death a few months ago, and you will welcome Master Wang in the blink of an eye."

"I heard that it was caused by the food shortage, and I couldn't fight anymore. My parents often told me about the chaos caused by the lack of food in the past. Those who fled famine, robbed, murdered, husbands sold their wives and children, and children who could not raise them were thrown into the ravine directly. , It's really miserable!"

"I was always hungry when I was a child, and it was the first time I was full when I joined the army. As long as I can stay in the army, I can do whatever you want. Frying little devils is very exciting."

There was discussion in the cabin, and half an hour later, the four 'H-1's took off again and flew towards Tokyo amidst the sound of roaring engines.Bombardiers and navigators carefully compare maps and aerial photographs to prepare for the upcoming bombing mission.

At this moment, on the southwest side of the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda District, just across the street from the Imperial Hotel, is Building No. [-] where the Ministry of the Japanese Army is located.The building was newly built two years ago, with a 'mountain'-shaped layout, covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, with three floors in the main building.

Outside the building was the Tokyo garrison. Due to the unstable situation, horses and barbed wire fences were arranged at the entrance and exit.The office in the building is the military and political organs of the Japanese Army, and the office of the Minister of the Army Masaichi Terauchi is on the second floor of the west wing of the building.

There is a portrait of Emperor Taisho in the middle of the office. Under the gaze of the emperor's portrait, Terauchi Masaki met with the head of the Konoe Division, Army General, and Army Education Director Akiyama Yoshiko.

Two old guys are discussing how to solve the current problems facing Japan.If stepping down could alleviate social conflicts, they would have long wanted to give up their positions.

But now there is neither foreign aid nor domestic aid, and neither funds nor food can solve the problem.No one wants to be roasted on the fire, but no one wants to come out and take responsibility.

After the Battle of Miyako, the national debt issued by Japan in Europe and the United States plummeted instantly, and after losing Tsushima Island, it became like waste paper.On the contrary, Chinese government bonds are becoming more and more popular. Many European and American banks would rather exchange old bonds for new ones than exchange them after their debts mature.

The recent political fluctuations in Tsarist Russia have triggered massive panic in the British and French bond markets.The financiers smelled the breath of disaster and were eager to transfer their original funds to flee.

The place where money can escape is either the United States or China.In order to increase foreign exchange reserves, China recently printed 100 billion pounds of 15-year treasury bonds, which were all sold out.

Thinking of the powerful enemy on the mainland who won the war, the political situation is stable, and the market is open, they can easily raise an incredible amount of funds. The two army bosses who are also worried about money are jealous to death.

"There must be a truce, otherwise the country's finances and food reserves will not last until the beginning of next year."

"Is it really necessary to cede Kyushu Island? Who will bear this responsibility?"

"We obviously worked very hard, why did the country end up in such a state?"

Chapter 30

The time in Brussels is eight hours behind Tokyo.

When the four bombers of the 'Vulture Squadron' set sail for Tokyo at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Mr. Kompany, the Belgian electorate, got up on time at [-]:[-] in the morning.

The cool morning breeze was blowing through the manor on the outskirts of Brussels. The beautiful maid, wearing a white dress and black stockings, knocked on the bedroom door with toilet utensils.

The respectful butler took his seat in the hall of the manor, took the servants to greet him in the morning, accompanied the owner of the manor for a walk in the garden, and talked about the newspaper news of the day by the way.

This power and position is all piled up with money.

In a country as small as Belgium, Mr Kompany, like most of the European candidates, does not have much ambition.They just want to live a monotonous and rich life, and they always have.

As for the disputes between China, the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Russia and Japan, they are nothing but a market for Mr. Kompany to seek wealth.He likes turmoil, likes risk, likes to find value depressions and obtain high returns.

But the global situation is so bad right now.

A delayed 'World War I' seems inevitable.French financiers were the most sensitive, as if bitten by a poisonous snake, they paid attention to the political situation in Tsarist Russia in horror.

The French have invested more than 1000 billion francs in Russia.If this is a loss, half of the French dignitaries will jump off the building.By the way, there are a lot of debt-ridden widows, young and old.

Mr Kompany likes seeing peers go bust, which represents an opportunity to undercut.But if it is he who is at risk, the situation is not so good.

As China's financial agent in Europe, Kompany fully supported 'Holy Light' in raising funds in Europe in the early years.This reaped huge rewards for him.

but……

The arrogance of old Europe made Kompany make a small mistake. He believed that the continued tension and turmoil in East Asia would be more conducive to his own interests, so he helped Japan issue government bonds in Europe to raise funds.

This matter was very secretive, but it was still discovered by the "Holy Light" - the British guy did not hesitate to demolish Kompany's station in order to do financial business in China.

So the Chinese government cut off cooperation with Mr. Kompany and warned any European financiers that whoever has financial ties with Kompany will no longer be able to benefit from China.

Some bold guys ignored China's warnings for profit, but were either sidelined, bankrupted, or left dead on the street - so everyone understood that the Chinese government... or 'Holy Light' meant business.

Well, you can't do Chinese business, at least you can do something else.Kompany has earned enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life.But lately his worries have increased day by day...

Europe is already cloudy, as if the eve of the storm.The sky of Tsarist Russia is thundering and lightning, which may trigger a flood that will hit the whole of Europe at any time.

Financial capital is pulling money away from the real economy and buying safe-haven products like gold and bonds.The money first flowed out of the United Kingdom, then went to the United States, and part of it also flowed out of China.

There is no suspense about the war between China and Japan. While China's long-term national debt is sought after, no one cares about Japan's national debt issued in Europe in the blink of an eye. The agent Kompany was dumbfounded.

20.00% off, 30.00% off, [-]% off... [-]% interest rate, [-]% interest rate, even [-]% interest rate... just can't sell.

When the United States tried to mediate the Sino-Japanese War and demanded to cede Kyushu Island to China to quell the war, the Kompany Manor, which was originally a bustling city, became empty in the blink of an eye.

Instead, a large number of creditors came to collect debts-Kompani's agency sale of Japanese government bonds was an advance.Most of the hundreds of millions of pounds advanced was borrowed by him.

If the debts cannot be repaid before the due date, the manor, maids, butlers, and gardens will be auctioned off in the blink of an eye—what about the chosen ones, who also have moments of despair on the street.

After walking around the garden for a few times, the housekeeper made Kompany look gloomy, and after talking about newspaper news and high society gossip, he added in a low voice: "Sir, the president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Branch in Brussels called again. gone."

Hearing the word 'China', Kompany gritted his teeth.Hearing the word 'telephone', he jumped up furiously, raised his arms and cursed: "The Chinese are now like vampires, they want to take away all my property.

I was the one who introduced them to the European financial circle. I told them to take care of financial practitioners and remind them how to guard against financial fraud.I made everything for them, and now they want to eat my bones. "

The voice spread in the garden, and the gardener looked up a few times, then lowered his head again.The head maid who came to inform her of breakfast shy away from the limelight and approached after a while.

The butler stopped talking about it and wanted to change the subject.

Kompany sighed, closed his eyes in pain, and asked in a deep voice, "Are they still only willing to offer [-]% off the price?"

"Yes." The butler replied.

Kompany opened his eyes and said angrily: "This is equivalent to returning all the money I have earned over the years to the Chinese."

"The Chinese side stated on the phone that if the husband is willing to cooperate, the previous cooperation ban can be cancelled." The housekeeper continued.

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing Kompany's straight back to bend down in a slump.

China is already an important player in the world chessboard, and its ban blocks all Kompany's retreat.Lifting the ban is tantamount to giving him a chance to start again.

"The Chinese must have some plans to secretly buy Japanese government bonds at this moment. It's only [-]% off... [-]% off is too low. At least [-]% off."

Hearing this sentence, the butler understood that Mr. Kompany didn't have any qualms—he just didn't want to lose too much money, and even wanted to make some money.

Over the past few years, China has raised more than 200 billion pounds in Europe and the United States, which has greatly promoted the development of the domestic economy.Japan also issued treasury bonds, amounting to 50 billion pounds.

Now China wants to buy Japanese government bonds at a [-]% discount, which is simply stealing money.But Kompany is really afraid that after Japan's complete defeat in the war, it will announce that it cannot pay its national debt, and then drag a large number of creditors to hell.

Or if another Japanese government comes to power, it will not recognize the previously issued national debt, directly renege on the debt, and go to [-] levels of hell-not to mention impossible, after Soviet Russia came to power, it directly declared the Russian national debt void, which killed many French financiers.

In the '49 Years' of China's original history, it was announced that all unequal treaties and creditor's rights of the great powers would be abolished—someone in the 21st century took the national debt issued by the Qing Dynasty to the US court to sue China for cash.

Chinese diplomats didn't even look at it.

The big hooligans are really reckless, and the mere financiers should be grateful-it would be nice not to be hung with street lights.

Alas... Kompany shook his head and sighed, realizing that he was powerless against an increasingly powerful China.He turned his head, his lips snarled for a long time, and spit out a few vague words, "Help me make an appointment with the president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China branch in Brussels."

The housekeeper nodded and turned to leave. After a while, he came back to report: "The president of China said that he is not free today. If you have business, sir, please come to the bank to handle it."

Kompany finally broke out, cursing wildly, "The Chinese are too dark-hearted. They forced me to sell the debt at a discount, and asked me to take the initiative to come to the door. I... I... have an appointment in the afternoon."

Debt restructuring is an important part of China's influence over Japanese financial institutions.Once China injects capital into the Japanese economy, its bonds will surely return to their normal value.

Japanese people have to work hard to pay off their debts, right?This is a reasonable and compliant way to make money, how can you say that you have a dark heart?

When Kompany let go of the bond sale, Katya at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo was telling his men everywhere to evacuate from the danger zone.

Since the Imperial Hotel is too close to the prime minister's residence, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of the Navy, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Asahi Shimbun, in order to avoid accidental injuries, Katya not only asked his staff to paste rice calligraphy on the windows, but also spread a side on the roof of the hotel. red flag.

Katya personally climbed to the roof of the hotel to set up a radio station and set up an observation post, preparing to guide the bombing of the 'Vulture Squadron' and assess the damage.

Chiyoda District is the core of Tokyo. It is full of Japanese military and political institutions, as well as imperial residences like the Imperial Palace, which are similar to the Forbidden City in China.Attacking this place directly will inevitably face strong resistance from the garrison, and if you want to behead it, you have to come from the air.

Looking at the time, it was already 10:[-] in the afternoon, and there were still about [-] minutes before the guided bombs would drop in the sky.Seven or eight Japanese maids formed a communication group, coordinating the upcoming mutiny.

Katya held up the binoculars to look at the entire Tokyo city, quite strategically, controlling the joy of the audience.She accidentally saw a few kilometers away on a dirt road, two black and thin Japanese children were pushing a cart and struggling to transport an oil drum.

The older children were eleven or twelve years old, holding the handlebars with both hands, and hanging the handlebars with a rope around their necks to relieve the pressure on their arms.The smaller child, estimated to be seven or eight years old, was barefoot and pushed hard beside him.

"What are they transporting?" Katya was suddenly curious, and handed the binoculars to the Japanese maid next to her.

"Probably pine root oil." The maid answered sadly.

Without US aid, Japan lacks everything.Before the task force attacked Miyakojima, thousands of tons of fuel were assembled by the Ministry of the Navy, and the head was as big as a bucket.
