Chapter Ninety-Seven, Diffusion
The League of Nations meeting was over, and no matter what efforts he tried, the evidence before him showed that the Japanese government had participated in or planned the uprising in Indonesia.
The Japanese government was also strongly condemned by the representatives of various countries because of this, yes, it was condemned, and then there was no more.
In addition to ordering the Japanese Government to immediately evacuate its intelligence personnel from all over the world, the League of Nations only demanded that the Japanese Government negotiate with the Dutch Government to compensate for the damages.
In response to this resolution, Nekangaichi wisely chose to accept the League of Nations ruling in its entirety, and to return to the Japanese government to seriously reflect on it, and apologize to the Dutch ambassador on the spot.
And then it's over, facts speak louder than words, even if it's a fabricated fact, now it's the truth, and there's no possibility of overturning the case.
Royal Sofia Film Company is a very professional film and television company, and the shelf life of the videotapes used is strictly limited, and the original tapes only have a service life of more than one year.
Therefore, this original, which was deposited in the League of Nations, will soon be invalidated, and the rest can only be ripped historical materials.
Even the most professional person is unlikely to identify these ripped tapes and determine whether they are fake, so it has been qualitatively determined now, and there is no hidden danger.
Nekanga thought very clearly, it is okay to apologize, and the evacuation of intelligence personnel can also be verbally agreed first, and the face of the League of Nations still has to be given, and the result of this handling is already very lenient.
The issue of compensation for losses will be slowly pulled out, anyway, there is no money, and if it is fatal, at most a few scapegoats will be thrown out, and the Dutch will come to Japan to collect the debts if they have the ability!
Tokyo
The Japanese government has already fried the pot, although after they all exposed the truth of the army and navy, they began to suspect that it was the army, or a certain side of the navy, did not expect that now both sides are involved.
War Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka and Navy Minister Yuzaburo Kato, both of them sat there very embarrassed, and this time it was too much of a slap in the face.
If you do it, you will do it, it's not a big deal, anyway, it's not the first time this kind of thing, everyone is used to the natural attribute of the Japanese army who loves to make decisions without authorization, and this time they were actually arrested by the Dutch, which makes everyone unacceptable.
Another confession, another videotape, and a bunch of weapons that can be used as physical evidence, so much evidence added together, the Japanese government has lost face in the international community this time.
The Japanese government, which already does not have much international reputation, is estimated to be even lower now. Perhaps one day at an international conference, the Japanese delegates will be arranged in a corner, and don't be surprised, who made them unwelcome?
"Shouldn't you give us an explanation? Do you take the government and the emperor seriously? Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki asked angrily
The two of them directly lowered their heads and did not speak, after getting the news last night, the first reaction of the two was that it was impossible, and then they checked it as soon as possible.
I don't know if I don't check the results, and I was shocked when I checked it, these intelligence organizations do exist, and the identity information of the personnel in them is basically the same, and they are indeed responsible for collecting intelligence for the military in Indonesia.
That's enough, as for who planned this operation, they didn't bother to think about it, and now in addition to such a big scandal, idiots will come out and confess!
That's right, planning an Indonesian riot in Japan is not a big deal. But so many intelligence officers were arrested, and in the end they became traitors, which is a big scandal.
Under normal circumstances, if these people are caught, they should all commit suicide, so that they are still heroes. Only when they are all dead will they not be held responsible, and this is the concept of right and wrong in Japanese society.
As for whether it could be the evidence fabricated by the Dutch, they didn't doubt it at all, the pure Japanese couldn't deceive people, and now they didn't know that there was such a creature as a tuner.
With their understanding of their subordinates, these people at the bottom can do it completely.
Self-assertion is the norm, it is nothing more than a failure this time, and the people below directly hide the truth from them in order not to take responsibility.
Scold, scold casually, anyway, there will be no less piece of meat, first the prime minister scolded, then the prince of Shiren came to scold, and finally the Japanese elders also came out and scolded them bloody.
Then the media in Japan caught the Japanese military scolding, and the people followed suit, and even the officers and men of the army and navy were also scolding!
It's just that they are not scolding these people for provoking the Indonesian riots, but scolding these intelligence officers for being soft eggs, who did not commit suicide and were captured by the enemy, and finally became traitors.
Then this episode passed, in addition to ruining the international reputation, in fact, the damage to Japan was not large, and the heads of several intelligence organizations were ordered to commit suicide, which can be regarded as an end to this matter.
Ferdinand was completely relieved, it seemed that the Dutch had not wronged the Japanese government this time, they may not have participated, and the merchant groups and intelligence organizations below were really involved.
After dealing with the person responsible, whether it is a scapegoat or not, it is acceptable to all parties, and the matter is over.
……
"Your Majesty, something has happened in the Philippines! A strike movement erupted in Manison on July 2 and then spread to all cities in the Philippine archipelago over the next week.
Earlier, on June 12, the Philippine National Farmers' Union proposed to the colonial government a request to increase the grain stratification of hired farmers and protect the interests of yeoman farmers, but the colonial governments of the three countries refused.
On June 18, the Filipino Farmers Association also launched a protest demonstration, which lasted only three days before being suppressed.
Last night, on July 12, Sofia time, another peasant uprising broke out in Quezon City; This morning, another workers' uprising broke out in Suqian.
Judging by the intelligence we have gathered, the Philippine Islands are about to be in chaos, and the local social contradictions have accumulated to the limit, and now they are about to explode! Donald, the Minister of the Colonies, said cautiously
(Note: In the 30s of the 20th century, a series of national independence movements broke out in the Philippines, although there were not many major uprisings, but small uprisings emerged one after another)
Ferdinand nodded, the nationalist ideas of the Philippines were still exported by the United States, and in order to deal with the Spaniards, they spread the American ideas in the past.
After the Spanish-American War, they realized that they had shot themselves in the foot, and it took a billion dollars to put down the rebellion, and they did not recover the cost until they lost the Philippines.
Therefore, when it carved up the Philippines, Bulgaria gave up Luzon, which had the most lucrative interests, and chose Mindanao, which had the most conservative atmosphere and the least degree of development.
In fact, Bulgaria never really ruled the region, and it was a complete tax system, selling its rule directly to local religious leaders.
Bulgarian garrisons are located on the surrounding islands, including: Great Santa Cruz, Siargao, Palawan, Bugsuuk, and Kalamiman Islands.
So now that the Philippines is in chaos, Ferdinand still doesn't have any worries, and the revolutionaries are not stupid, even if they want to make trouble for independence, they can't make trouble on these small islands.
It is nothing more than Luzon, Mindanao, and Visayas, the three major parts are carried out, and the other small islands have limited populations, and to start an uprising is to send them to death.
"We don't care about the affairs of the British and the French, as long as our territory is not chaotic, and if an uprising breaks out on Mindanao, there is no need to rush to send troops, let them fight their own people first, and then we will decide whether to send troops when they are finished!" Ferdinand thought for a moment and said
Kill with a knife!
This was Ferdinand's way, either religion killed the revolutionary party, and then the previous rule was continued; Either the revolutionary party will kill the religion, and when they have cleaned up the religious elements, they will consider whether to send troops to quell the rebellion.
Whoever wins or loses will consume a large number of people and make it easier for Bulgaria to rule.
The current Philippine archipelago has a population of just over 10 million, most of which are concentrated in Luzon, and only two or three million are distributed in Mindanao.
Even if it were to be completely annexed, it would not be difficult, but Bulgaria is now too small to immigrate to this area.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't be long before the Nanyang region will be in chaos, Indonesia's independence movement has spread to Malaysia, and according to the current situation, it won't be long before Vietnam, Myanmar and other countries will also be affected! How did we deal with the local colonial government? Colonial Secretary Donald asked
"Don't care about anything, let them mess up if you want to! This is a problem of Britain and France, even if the entire South Seas are lost, what is relevant to us is only a colony of about 100,000 square kilometers!
Moreover, finding something to do for the British, and letting the London government vent their inexhaustible energy, is also conducive to world peace and stability! Ferdinand said with a sneer
To be honest, he didn't think at all that he would mess up the British colonies so early.
Ferdinand knew about the national independence movement that broke out in Southeast Asia in the 30s of the 20th century, but he couldn't remember exactly when.
Now the situation in Southeast Asia is turbulent, at most, it will consume the strength of the British, and it will not hurt their vitality, even if it is to add an Afghanistan.
The best time to launch is to wait for the outbreak of the world economic crisis. When the national independence movement broke out again, in order to divert domestic contradictions, the politicians in London would choose war on the eighth floor.
And it was the most brutal way to suppress the colonial movement, in order to deplete the country's excess industrial capacity and alleviate the internal crisis.
As soon as the war machine is turned on, it cannot be stopped, and when the hatred between the two sides has accumulated to a certain extent, unless the British can kill all the colonists, they will be plunged into continuous bloodshed.
The population of the British Empire was limited, with just over 45 million people on its own land, and the more than 5 million people in Ireland were still thinking of independence.
Although the three North American countries have a combined population of nearly 40 million, most of them fled from Europe to the Americas to escape the war, and they did not work for the US government, let alone the London government.
Several other autonomous regions, whether it is Canada, New Zealand, or Australia, have limited populations and cannot afford to be tossed up.
To some extent, the current turmoil in Southeast Asia has exposed the hidden dangers of these colonies in advance, which is also a detoxification for the British Empire.
Even the more fierce the uprising is now, the more stable the region will be in the future, and there will be great order after the chaos! In other words, the war has reduced the population, increased the per capita resources, and everyone's life will be able to go on.
But the British don't think so, Stanley Baldwin needs peace and stability, a stable and prosperous colony, not a war-torn colony!
London
At 10 Downing Street, the British government is discussing how to deal with the current complex world situation.
Stanley Baldwin is in a bad mood, since he became prime minister, life has not been very good, first of all, the domestic economic problems, this is fortunate that the predecessor has paved the road, just jump along the avenue to the pit.
Anyway, those possible crises are unlikely to erupt during his current term of office, and we will talk about the domestic economy first.
As long as the capitalists have benefited from this, and the people's lives can go on, and it is best to improve them, then his future evaluation in history will not be low.
The trouble was the international contradictions, first the Anglo-French conflict needed to be resolved, but when Germany joined the League of Nations, they had already taught the French a lesson, so that they understood who was the world boss.
Then there was the Bulgarian problem, and thanks to their efforts, the crisis between the two countries was resolved with a treaty to divide the interests of the Persian region.
The only fly in the ointment was that the British Empire's wars in Persia and Afghanistan could not be ended.
It's all a small problem, slow down, slow down, anyway, it's two small countries, and it's a matter of time before the British Empire wins.
Not long ago, the Japanese government was doing something in Indonesia, and Stanley Baldwin was still watching the excitement, and was even ready to take the opportunity to knock the Japanese.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take a few days for the trouble to get on the body. Their colonies in the Philippines also broke out into rebellion, and before they could mobilize troops to quell the rebellion, the Malaysian region was involved again.
It's going to be war again, and for a pacifist, the god of war is the most annoying.
Of course, the main reason is that the British people are now anti-war, and as their elected prime minister, they naturally must also oppose the war, which is a matter of principle.
"Mr. Churchill, is there anything you would like to say as colonial minister about the turbulent situation in Southeast Asia?" Stanley Baldwin asked
After a round of political struggle, Stanley Baldwin has succeeded in removing Churchill, a nasty man, from the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer and making him the Colonial Secretary.
"Suppression, troops must be sent immediately to suppress it!" Churchill roared angrily
Dare to challenge the tiger power of the British Empire, this is simply pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, and the most important thing is when he was the colonial minister, this is really lawless!
I wonder if this will cost him his political life? This is a serious consequence that the uncle can endure but the aunt can't!
Of course, due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, Churchill's political future in this time and space has not been bright since the outbreak of the world war.
In particular, he said, "If our maritime policy is based on uniting with Japan against the United States, it is difficult to imagine a worse policy." ”
After the end of the United States, this sentence became the laughing stock of London, and it turned out that the United States, which was powerful in his eyes, was so fragile and powerless in the face of reality.
That's why Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin could have so easily let him get out of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, otherwise Mr. Churchill wouldn't have succumbed so quickly.
"Then the counterinsurgency work is left to you, Mr. Churchill, do you have the confidence to complete this task?" Stanley Baldwin said with a smile
"I'm sorry, I'm only the Minister of the Colonies, not the Minister of War, and I really don't have any confidence to complete this work with the rabble in the Southeast Asian colonies!"
Churchill was not stupid, he knew that he could not be a hero at this time, otherwise if he failed again, his political life would really be over, and the hat of incompetence would accompany him for the rest of his life.
"You can assemble a few Indian colonists and deal with a bunch of monkeys, there must be no problem!" Stanley Baldwin said calmly
Domestic troops?
It is impossible to send troops in the country, and now that the people are all against the war, is it necessary to be serious about dealing with a group of chaotic parties that do not enter the stream?
If you win, this is everyone's credit, and if you lose, of course, Mr. Churchill will be responsible.
"This is not enough, at least ten colonial divisions must be formed, so that we can ensure that the rebellion is suppressed as much as possible and does not continue to spread!" Churchill the Lion opened his mouth
"Okay, no problem! Then Mr. Churchill, after he has dealt with tomorrow's Congressional questioning, you are ready to go!
I propose the appointment of Mr. Churchill as the Commissioner for Counterinsurgency in Southeast Asia, and I now vote! Stanley Baldwin said with a smile
Everyone raised their hands in unison, and all but Churchill himself voted unanimously to make him the counterinsurgency commissioner from now on.
There is no doubt that this was premeditated by the people, and they took advantage of the colonial rebellion to drive him out of London. It's already done, and he can't even oppose it now!
Sure enough, there is no politician to deal with, as long as they find an opportunity, everyone will not show mercy.
It's easy to leave London, but it's hard to get back to the center of power, and in a year and a half, the cabinet is already full.
There is no doubt about this kind of thing, as long as Churchill cannot put down the rebellion in a short time, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin will definitely use this as an excuse to kick him out of the cabinet, even if he is a supporter of his party, he can't say anything!
