From to 1935 2020

Hirohito Showa is crazy and gambler.

But his younger brother Yongren's character is to do great things and cherish his life.

The plight of Japan now reminds him of 1905, before the Russo-Japanese War. How similar is it?

Japan is about to go to war with the Lucians again, and Britain, the United States and France seem to be supporting Japan again—but this time, how much can they support?

As for whether the CCP is the Qing government?Yongren thought of the Bailing Temple, Huang Ke, the "super spy" who had just appeared on the cover of the American Time magazine this month, and also remembered Xiyuan Temple Gongwang's evaluation of him.

Historically, if it hadn't been for the following to go alone, the timetable for Emperor Showa's invasion of China was around 1938 and before the July 77th Incident, when Japan had just begun to mobilize.But this plane is different, as soon as Yong Ren came to power, he was encouraged and mobilized by the people below.After the Bailing Temple incident, they were mobilizing desperately, but now they are on the verge of death. Japan’s national power is only so small. Once mobilized, it will be turned into a military industry, just like the Nazis. If they don’t start a war, they will go outside immediately. Grab a vote, and you will blow yourself up.

However, Yongren, who doesn't have much experience in governing, feels guilty!

Minister Minei Guangzheng continued to encourage: "Chang Kaishen is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now there are less than [-] defeated soldiers, and there is a shortage of ammunition and weapons..."

The army man hummed: "That is the sphere of influence of Britain and France..."

"The British and the French have nothing to fear. They can't control it. As long as we control the war to the south of the Yangtze River and don't over-stimulate the Communist army in North China..."

"Do you think this is possible? Li Runshi is not Chang Kaishen! If you attack in the south, he will definitely contact Lucia and attack in the north at the same time!"

The people in the army finally told the truth.

Konoe Fumimaro looked at the flushed faces of both parties, and suddenly realized that his behavior of "successor picking peaches" this time was so stupid!He knew in his heart that the people in the army were afraid, but they didn't say it out loud, and they were deliberately contradicting the navy.

Hayashi Mijuro should be allowed to continue on stage!

The endless bickering and wrangling started again.

Throughout the history of Japan, don’t look at the fact that when the war started against the United States, the upper class seemed to be crazy-in fact, most of the people were forced by the general situation and had to gamble.So before the start of the war, a bunch of people lined up to step down from the prime minister's office, replaced by Sergeant Hideki Tojo, the culprit, and members of the Emperor's family also hurriedly withdrew from the army-in fact, everyone was not confident.

Only attacking North China, with the secret support of the United Kingdom, the United States and France, the Japanese still have a little confidence, and they feel that it is at most the second Russo-Japanese War reappearing.After defeating Shanghai and offending Britain and France, Stalin deliberately shouted "to maintain the status quo in South China" and made an attitude of protecting the interests of Britain and France in South China on the surface. The danger behind this is not invisible to everyone...

Then, the army and navy, who both saw the danger, once again wasted time arguing.

Procrastinate, procrastinate, a lot of important matters in the imperial kingdom are just procrastinating, procrastinating until a certain middle school student finally couldn't help but jumped out and left alone, and then it was resolved...

Yongren once again announced the end of the meeting in depression, then he called a car and decided to meet a person——Xiyuansi Gongwang.

After Yongren came to power, the old fox was active for a while except supporting him when he came to power, and then hid, staying at home and not caring about anything.

Yongren felt that it was time for him to ask his opinion.

Ask for a monthly pass, there is a monthly pass.

There are always people rushing to the tower, because the group is over and can't find a nest, so please add the name group first, the group number is 325945597

The roll call group is banned, and new groups will announce their location in the roll call group

-------------------- Chapter 209 Old Japan, Young China------------------- -

As the last Meiji patriarch, Nishiharaji Gongwang, who is nearly ninety years old and seriously lacking in physical strength and energy, has no political ambitions.

He spends most of his time at home, planting flowers, tasting tea, and dawdling around with nothing to do.

When Yuren was unable to do so, seeing the right time to help Yongren was his biggest political move in the past few years.

As for before and after the Battle of Bailing Temple, before the battle, Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple just watched quietly, neither supporting nor opposing. Also silent.

In private, he said to his grandson: (PS, I checked, Gongyi should be a grandson, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang’s son was adopted, and Gongyi is the grandson of his adopted son. Compared with his mediocre son, this grandson is a very good man.)

"Gongyi, a big mistake has already been made, and forcibly correcting the mistake will only make you and me fall into it."

After the Battle of Bailing Temple, his biggest intervention in the Japanese military was only one thing: he wanted to promote Toshishiro Obata.

It's a pity that Toshishiro Obata himself is extremely pessimistic about the Sino-Japanese war, and he is even pessimistic about Japan's future prospects.As in history, he would rather stay in the reserve army as an instructor training recruits than go to the front to lead troops in battle.

"The entire empire, the entire military department, is full of people who are greedy for profit, and they have long lost the most basic rationality."

In private, Toshishiro Obata had communicated with Gongwang Nishiharaji. He believed that Japan's current foreign policy should be the same as before World War I. It should be honest and patient, and wait until the war in Europe resumes before considering going south. Instead of stupidly forcibly stepping into China now, caught in the two sides of the CCP in the north and the south.

"China has woken up! What we have to do now, instead, is to leave China as soon as possible and jump out of the big hole that the national thief Shi Yuan dug for us, instead of diving in and sinking deeper."

Toshishiro Obata didn't dare to say some things in front of Komochi Nishiharaji, but Komochi Nishiharaji understood: it's time to find a way to withdraw from the Northeast.

The reason why Toshishiro Obata and Gongwang Nishiharaji had similar ideas originated from the discussion between Huang Ke and Bei Yihui about "after the end of the Qing Dynasty, too few people died" on the eve of February [-]th.

Both of them are shrewd people. After a little calculation, after the arrival of the "peaceful age", China's population growth rate is compared with the population carrying capacity of the land in China's customs. The big granary is destined to fight Japan forever, and there is no possibility of any compromise.

How could the eaten meat be spit out again?Reason did not exist in Japan at this period.As the "anti-war defeat" Komochi Nishiharaji and Toshishiro Obata, they knew that they were wrong, but they also knew that "the red deer have become a general trend, and they have already forced the military." They can only watch Japan slide step by step. abyss.

When Prince Yongren came to "ask" Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple, he was talking with his grandson.

"Have you done what I asked you to do?"

"I have passed your opinions over there through the relationship of friends."

The old fox glanced at his grandson, and then said: "The war between China and Japan will definitely break out in April, or we will do it first, or the CCP will do it first. We will do it first, and it must be someone from the army or navy." The deer is walking alone, but if the CCP strikes first, it will be Li Runshi who is ready! I have read his deeds in the past ten years. This man has an extremely vicious strategic vision. He must have seen that the imperial army has not invested enough in North China. He has great ambitions He, holding high the banner of resistance against Japan, will definitely not deal with it passively."

Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple snorted and said: "Everyone in the army is afraid of something. If the navy opens a front in the south of the Yangtze River, the Communist army will inevitably take revenge in North China at the same time. But both of them underestimated Li Runshi. In terms of military strategy , Li Runshi is completely different from Chang Kaishen and Zhang Xueliang who can only deal with it passively. He is now deploying troops to North China, and as soon as the deployment is completed, he will immediately take the initiative to attack."

Xiyuanji Gongwang was about to say something to his grandson when the servant came to report and the emperor came to visit.Afterwards, the three of them gathered together, and Yong Ren explained his purpose.

"How was Narumi Inoue's trip to the United States?"

"President Roosevelt replied yes, under consideration."

"In consideration?"

The seemingly old and dim-sighted Xiyuan Temple Gongwang sneered and replied:

"He will definitely say yes."

"Really?"

Yongren immediately showed joy.At the beginning of March this year, Yongren sent Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka and Narumi Inoue to "visit" Roosevelt, hoping to obtain "understanding" or even "support" from the United States on China's issues.

Unlike Hirohito who wanted everything, Yongren was much weaker in this regard. Yosuke Matsuoka, who met Roosevelt on behalf of Yongren, repeatedly stated to the other party that Japan would definitely guarantee the interests of the United States in China.The support it wanted was for Japan to issue war bonds in the United States - as they had done during the Russo-Japanese War.

Because of Huang Ke's violent interference in history, the Red Communist Party has controlled half of China, and the Soviet Union's "positive" attitude towards the Sino-Japanese War. In fact, the capitalist world's fear and defense against China (the Communist Party) and the Soviet Union is even more than greed of Japan.Today's Japan is like Hitler, using the banner of "opposing the spread of the communist plague" to cover up its criminal acts of aggression.

"If we win, what can we get? Remember the Russo-Japanese War? In that war 30 years ago, the empire got almost nothing except for the terrible foreign debts after the war..."

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang sighed.

"Mr. Xiyuan Temple, don't you think about the battle of China?"

Yongren knew the truth and asked the truth.In fact, the position of Xiyuan Temple Gongwang was seen as early as that night when he met Hou Yongren in the Chichibu Palace-his position was actually very similar to that of Huang Ke's spy: the empire should be patient and wait until the war in Europe From then on, when Britain and France were looking east, they went south to Nanyang to seize the colonies of Britain and France.

However, Gongwang Xienji recalled 60 years ago, Japan during the Meiji Restoration, and in Japan at that time, there were born Saigo Takamori, Okubo Toshimichi, Kido Takayoshi, Ito Hirobumi, so many heroes... At that time, Japan was really full of heroes, and the whole country was like the rising sun... And China at that time, the old empire, was rotten...

However, in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, the sun will eventually rise and the sun will eventually set...

Before the Meiji Restoration, both Japan and China were actually sick at that time.After the Restoration, Japan's "disease" recovered, but China's became more and more serious. Japan, which thought it was cured and healthy, saw China's fading away, and soon became suspicious... .

"Everything went smoothly! Until two years ago... that young man named Huang Ke, he and Li Runshi..."

Ever since Chang Kaishen offered a reward of one million silver dollars for Huang Ke's head, Huang Ke finally could no longer hide behind the "Golden Princess".The things he did in the past gradually surfaced under the digging of the media and various forces.Recently, as the stock of Gold Pharmaceuticals plummeted to the bottom, countless stockholders who had been cheated miserably also pointed their finger at Huang Ke.

Ordinary people only see superficial appearances, but Xiyuanji Gongwang saw that the CCP was able to rise so quickly in two years, and this young man named Huang Ke played a role far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

"China has finally reached the era when heroes are born in large numbers. What's even more frightening is that Huang Ke is still so young..."

60 years ago, Japan was young and China was the boss. 60 years later, today's Japan is like the body of Saienji Kinmochi, old and sick - the root cause of Japan's domestic problems, Saiyuanji Park is very clear, the banned book "Meiji 68 Year Festival" Li made it even more clear.The disease that Japan suffered from was not cured at all during the Meiji Restoration 60 years ago. It was just given a stimulant, relying on continuous foreign wars and plundering, and it was temporarily delayed... Once it cannot be beaten, it cannot be robbed Once you realize that all the hidden dangers that have been accumulated will explode viciously.

On the opposite side of China, the situation is exactly the opposite.

"That Li Runshi is only 43 years old this year! And his successor is even younger, he really is young China!"

Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple sighed enviously in his heart, and then said to Yong Ren who was full of expectation:

"Li Runshi is not Chang Kaishen, let alone Emperor Guangxu. This person is a figure like Tang Taizong and Zhu Hongwu."

Yong Ren was taken aback for a moment, shook his head and said firmly in disbelief: "This is impossible!"

Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple didn't want to argue with him, so he asked, "In the old days, the empire fought against Tsarist Russia in Lushun, do you know what happened then?"

Yong Ren replied: "I was only four years old at that time, and all I knew was that the Imperial Army and Navy defeated Tsarist Russia, and the navy even wiped out Tsarist Russia's Pacific Fleet."

Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple replied: "The battle of China in the future will be purely an army battle. In the war between the imperial kingdom and Tsarist Russia in the past, the Russian emperor devoted all his energy to Europe, and only one division in the Far East dragged down the empire to exhaustion... ..."

In front of Yongren, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang compared the strength of Russia and Japan before the Russo-Japanese War and analyzed the reasons for their victory. During this process, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang felt a little bit of hatred in his heart. Both Hiroren and Yongren were short-sighted , unbearable generation.

Hirohito understands military strategy, but has a half-knowledge but is extremely ambitious, and his personality is even more arrogant.However, Yongren was trained as a prince in the past, but he knew nothing about military matters, and he was completely at the mercy of ministers and military departments.If Xiyuan Temple Gongwang can be 30 years younger, and an ignorant person like Yongren becomes the emperor, he may be extremely happy.But now Gongwang himself is old and lacks energy, his son is incompetent, his grandson is talented but too young, and the power transfer of the family has been interrupted.He is no longer able to restrain those young, strong but ambitious young men in the army. What they think about now is not the country, but to leave a way for their children and grandchildren.

"The red deer in the second grade have become a big trend, they are unstoppable, the time is not on me, the time is not on me!"

During the process of Xiyuan Temple Gongwang's explanation, he became less and less interested, but Yongren still 'understood' his words.

After analyzing the situation among China, the Soviet Union, and Japan, he said to Yongren: "Different from the last Russo-Japanese war, once the Sino-Japanese war broke out, Stalin only needed to stock up on the Soviet-Manchurian border with the railway as a screen. With a 20-strong army acting as a form of oppression, the imperial country was not allowed to send considerable troops to confront it. Judging from the strength of Stalin's assistance to Li Runshi's Red Army, Lucia's troops and weapons in the Far East were abundant and abnormal, far from being restrained like the last war. On the contrary, if the imperial country Attack South China first, and most of the troops are dragged south of the Yangtze River...."

What Xiyuanji Gongwang didn't say was: the national and military strength of the Soviet Union is several times or even ten times that of Japan.As long as Stalin is willing, he can fight endlessly in the Far East until Japan is dragged down alive.

Yongren thought he understood: "Mr. Xiyuan Temple, what do you mean to say that if the imperial country invades China from the south of the Yangtze River, it will definitely lose. If we concentrate all our efforts on the north, there may be a chance of victory?"

When Xiyuan Temple heard this, his chin and beard almost turned up in anger, and he almost yelled at him, "You can't teach a vertical child".

Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple looked at Yongren disappointedly, knowing that this person and those in the military department were all greedy for profit, not to mention the current situation in Japan, as Huang Ke said, has long been "the national policy has long been changed from the largest number of people to the largest number of people." , the craziest lunatic decided", even if Emperor Meiji was reborn, he would not be able to hold back the mobilized imperial chariot.

Finally, he waved his hand and sighed: "If we only start the war in North China, after a bitter battle, we may be able to complete our plan to encroach on China...but in the end, the gains may outweigh the losses."

------------

After Yongren left, Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple sat quietly in the room, holding a teacup in his hand, the tea had already been cold, and sighed alone.

After Xiyuan Temple Gongyi sent Yongren away and returned, he asked with a sad face:

"The war between China and Japan is inevitable, and the future of the imperial kingdom is worrying."

Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple slapped the teacup on the table heavily.

"The top and bottom are the people who are greedy for profit, and the imperial kingdom is in danger!"

At this point, Xiyuanji Gongwang closed his eyes, but in his mind he imagined the last scene predicted by Huang Ke in "Dark Fate": countless American planes overwhelming the sky of Japan, dropping countless bombs, countless cities reduced to ruins.Since the Meiji era, all the painstaking efforts of countless generations of Japanese people have been wiped out at that time... Prime Minister Ito, if the imperial country could follow your thinking, China and Japan should be integrated and support each other... ....

Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple shook his head, knowing that the general trend is so, this is just a delusion.

"There is no cure for the imperial kingdom, but we must save ourselves first..."

Xiyuansi Gongwang looked at his grandson Gongyi with bright eyes... and Xiyuansi Gongyi, who always liked to pretend to be clumsy in front of his grandfather, couldn't help shrinking his neck under his stare.

"Gongyi, have you been in frequent contact with those people recently?"

In a seemingly inconspicuous private house in Taiyuan, Li Runshi finished writing official documents by the light. Li Runshi shook his sore right hand and glanced at the watch on his left hand. It was already eleven o'clock.

"Finally finished the job."
