Subtitle of this chapter: Yuan Da Goutou...... No, it was the birth of Yuan Datengu

"Your Highness, why did you come to England?"
"Dr. Yuan, I think you should know too."
Yuan Yan smiled and said, "Yes, I know." Your Highness's visit is aimed at the goodwill between Britain and Japan and the maintenance of the alliance between the two countries......"
"Your Highness has been in England for a few weeks, and your country has outstanding diplomats and intelligence officers. Then you should also understand the meaning of the British government, as well as the views of the government and the opposition on this. So I won't say more......"
"But I'm from the United States, and I can tell Your Highness some of the thoughts of the Americans. In the eyes of the Americans, the Anglo-Japanese alliance was one of the most dangerous elements in their relations with the Far East Pacific. ”
"The U.S. Admiralty believes that if the Anglo-Japanese alliance continues to exist, the United States must have a maritime force equivalent to the combined navies of Britain and Japan in order to maintain its security, which means that the United States must build the most powerful navy in the world."
"I can also tell Your Highness the inside of the government that the United States has sent a note to England saying that whether the United States recognizes Ireland's independence or not depends on the relationship between Britain and Japan!"
"Your Highness, the current Anglo-Japanese alliance does not only involve your country and England, the real problem lies in the contradiction between your country and the United States......
Although it is a bit of an afterthought, the cause of the outbreak of the Pacific War can be traced back to the "Twenty-one Articles" in 1915.
When it came time to Europe, the United States and Japan became the biggest rivals.
The Japanese wanted to "affirm the Empire's interests in the East," while the Americans believed that "the potential Chinese market was closer than ever."
Therefore, the United States is the only country among the great powers that opposes the "Twenty-One Articles". Commander Wilson also sent a solemn telegram to the US ambassador to China that the United States should be the defender of China's sovereignty!
However, the people of Seris should know that in the matter of "Twenty-one", the United States lost one game first.
But where were they willing to be reconciled, so in 1916, the United States and Japan started another wrestling over the dispute between Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui's government, that is, the restoration of Zhang Xun.
In the end, it was the Japanese chess game that knew China better than the United States, and the pro-Japanese Octavian-Duan won the victory.
By 1917, the United States and Japan had to sit down at the negotiating table and sign a strange diplomatic agreement, the Ishii-Lansing Agreement.
Under the agreement, the United States recognized Japan's "special interests" in China; Japan agrees that the two countries have the right to 'safeguard' China's territorial integrity, as well as open doors and equal opportunities.
In other words, the two countries jointly safeguard the "sovereignty" of a third country, which sounds very funny. However, at that time, the Seris people did not have a strong sense of humor, and the Beijing government never recognized it.
The signing of the "Ishii-Lansing Agreement" is equivalent to a blank signature.
Anyway, Lao Mei is still haunted by it. So this time it's back again.
"Your Highness, but this time the United States has learned wisely and knows that it can't beat the host's country in the Far East, so it directly came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary!"
After listening to this explanation, His Royal Highness Prince Di Gong couldn't help but be in awe, and immediately glanced at Yuan Yanqian.
What is Yuan Yanqian best at as a knowledgeable but not proficient, knowledgeable but not specialized traverser?
Nonsense, nature is the general trend of history!
Truth be told, he really is the best in the world...... If you are not modest, you can be an international political strategist if you remove "flow".
What the great Japanese Empire lacked was strategists with an international vision.
It is said that Ishihara, who is known as Japan's No. 1 strategist, No. 1 staff officer of Showa, and the brain of Japan's Kwantung Army, also declared that he would come to a war between Eastern and Western civilizations.
And from a historical point of view, Hirohito is a person who has the ability, means, ambition, and knows how to discover talents.
During his trip to Europe, one of the things that had the greatest impact on later generations was to meet the famous "Baden-Baden League".
In October of this year, Okamura Ninji, Nagata Tetsuyama, and Obata Toshishiro formed an alliance in Germany and vowed to defeat the forces of the army stalwarts such as Tanaka Yoshiichi, the elder of the Choshu domain, and support the crown prince to ascend the throne.
In fact, there was a fourth person at the Baden-Baden party - Hideki Tojo. In Baden-Baden, he was just a little minion who lit a cigarette for Nagata Tetsuyama and stood guard at the door of the steam room.
This is the symbol of the birth of the Showa warlord - the alliance of the three feathered birds. Later generations will have to mention the Japanese army in World War II.
Also included in the Baden-Baden League were Umezu Mijiro in Berlin, Yamashita Fumi, military attache in Bern, Kotaro Nakamura in Copenhagen, Masajima Imago in Paris, Shimomura Tatsu in Cologne, Matsui Ishine in Harbin, and Ryosuke Isoya in Beijing.
These eleven people were the core backbone of the Showa warlords that Japan relied on to start World War II.
Hirohito will rely on these young Zhuang factions as the team to obtain the most important military power.
Not only that, but in the future, he will also open a university dormitory in the palace and train young generals with the ideas of Shuaki Okawa, the "father of Japanese fascism," in an effort to take the army into his own hands.
He used Prince Zaihito of the Idle Palace and Prince Hiroko Fushimi to take charge of the army and the navy, raising the power of the imperial army to an unprecedented height.
However, these people, including Hirohito himself, are big red deer!
It is no secret that the training of Japanese officers was problematic. The so-called Showa warlords all started from junior military school, and were isolated from society since childhood, and were brainwashed by bushido.
The future Emperor Hirohito was also trained in this way, and his teacher was the "Japanese military (sand) god (comparison)" Nogi Noshinori. Therefore, not only is it not grounded, but it also lacks international political literacy.
Well, before Master Yuan, which Japanese could explain this matter so clearly?
He suddenly realized: "Yo Xi, I see! Yuan Qing's talent is really extraordinary. ”
Our Master Yuan hurriedly said modestly: "Your Highness has won the award, but it is just a fool to win." ”
In fact, he gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, and that's what he wanted.
That's right, he showed his "talent" in front of Hirohito without "reservation", just to find a way to become the head of this guy...... No, it's a think tank.
What are the three birds, is he a big tengu?
Prince Di Gong couldn't help but ask, "However, what does the Anglo-Japanese alliance have to do with this matter that Yuan Qing did?" ”
"What about this relationship...... Yuan Yanqian said very embarrassedly, "I don't hide it from Your Highness, but it doesn't have anything to do with it." ”
"Huh?!"
Hirohito thought to himself, then what are you talking about for a long time?
Yuan Yanqian spread his hands and said, "But Your Highness, this matter is not harmful to you or your country." ”
"Huh?!"
Hirohito thought to himself, how could this not hurt?
"Your Highness, please think about it carefully, what damage will this incident cause to you and your country?"
"Oh?!"
Hirohito thought about it again, yes. The Great Japanese Empire and his crown prince really don't seem to have anything to lose in this matter......
