Of course, little Japan is hateful, and it is bent on turning "China" into their India. However, on the question of how to turn Shina into their India, there was a fierce debate within Little Japan, so fierce that it was sometimes condemned by heaven.

In October 1916, Field Marshal Terauchi Masatoshi was appointed Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Finance and Governor of Korea with the full support of Aritomo Yamaguchi, the head of the Chosu Domain.

These two names should be familiar to those who know a little bit about the modern history of China and Japan. Anyway, wearing the inside of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, these two have to show a small face.

Yama Prefecture is known as the "father of the imperial army", one of the nine elders of the Meiji era, the maker of mainland policy and the vanguard of the First Sino-Japanese War. At the time, he was arguably the most powerful man in Japan, if not one of them.

Terauchi Masa-ki was the first governor of North Korea, and during his tenure as prime minister, he approved the army's "50th Division" and the navy's "86th Fleet" construction plan.

However, at that point in time, the two largest red deer in the army had realized that it would be too difficult to coerce Seris into becoming a Japanese colony by force. The "21 Articles" are an extremely obvious failure.

Moreover, the key problem is that the big Japanese chaebols were very dissatisfied with the China policy of the government and the military at that time. From the point of view of these big capitalists, when imperialism cannot be ambitious, and India is not ready to do business in a day, it might as well do business with China first. Of course, the so-called "business" is to obtain cheap raw materials and dump their own industrial products.

Then the problem arises, the Republic of China at that time was really poor, and in 1916 the two major state-owned banks, the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications, lent too many reserves to Caesar-Yuan. In order to cope with the run, the Beiyang government had to order the two banks to stop paying depositors' deposits for several months, and the country's finances almost collapsed.

At this time, the Terauchi Masaki cabinet offered to borrow money. They hoped to improve Sino-Japanese relations through borrowing, and to help China rectify its financial and fiscal system, reform China's currency system, and gradually realize "Japanese-Chinese currency mixing", "so that the Chinese people can develop their land and enjoy its benefits, and at the same time be in harmony with the revitalization of imperial industry, so that Japan and China will become one, seek a path of self-sufficiency, and form an alliance in economic and national defense." In other words, soft colonization.

Because this large loan was handled by Nishihara Kameyama, a special representative of Japanese Prime Minister Masayi Terauchi at the time and a Japanese adviser to Octavian Duan, this huge loan of nearly 200 million yen (equivalent to 80 million US dollars) was handled, so it is called Nishihara Loan.

Note that Nishihara's loan is an important node in Sino-Japanese relations and Japan-US relations.

Let's start with Sino-Japanese relations. This loan, even the Chinese side feels quite "generous". Zhou Shulian, an official of the Ministry of Finance at the time, also admitted that the Japanese side "did not have very strict requirements on the conditions of the loan, and the collateral was particularly vague, and the railway was not built because of the railway advance, and the other collateral was only specified in the loan agreement, and the takeover was not carried out." ”。

Wang Yunsheng, a reporter for Ta Kung Pao who later became editor-in-chief, also said: "In another sense, it can also be said that they are traitors. With a huge amount of 200 million yuan, there is no real collateral, and there is no high-interest rebate, and the result is that the strong half of the current is an indiscriminate debt, and it is no wonder that the people in the temple and Katsuta are attacked by their people." (Author's note: Katsuta was a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Finance at the time, and he and Akiyama Machi were friends,)

Reporter Wang Da is right, the superior conditions of this loan have inevitably aroused extreme dissatisfaction among the young Zhuang faction in Japan.

It would be nice if the money could be recovered, but Octavian Duan never thought of repaying the money. He said bluntly to Marco Anthony Feng: "We are using Japan for a while, who plans to repay these loans, as long as our country is strong, when the time comes, they will all be pulled down with a blank slam!" ”

If the money cannot be recovered, then the relations between the two countries will improve, and it will be good for Japan to smoothly intervene in China's financial and financial system. However, Japan itself forcibly occupied Qingdao, causing Sino-Japanese relations to deteriorate rapidly.

Therefore, Nishihara's loan became a bamboo basket for nothing, which only increased the morale of the Japanese young Zhuang army, and made it so that "the Chinese have no sincerity, and showing sincerity to them is equivalent to keeping chastity for prostitutes" and "living up to the souls of the soldiers who died in bloody battles" have a so-called "factual basis".

"Mr. Nomura, Mr. Yamamoto, your country's Nishihara loan is nothing more than a trick used by the Anglo-Saxons to control the government with money. We Chinese don't understand, but they Americans definitely understand. Won't they be alarmed? ”

"If it really is possible to 'integrate Japan and China', or 'mix the currencies of the two countries'. Guess which country in the world is the most unstable? ”

After hearing these words, the two neon gold looked serious and were silent.

"Nishihara's loan is just one of them."

Our Master Yuan sneered and said, "In January last year, the United States withdrew its troops from Siberia on its own and asked your country to handle it together. However, after the 'Temple Street Incident', instead of withdrawing its troops, your country increased its forces and occupied the northern part of Sakhalin. ”

After the withdrawal of American troops in April 1920, only Japanese troops remained on the territory of Soviet Russia. On May 27, 1920, after an armed clash between the local partisans and the Japanese army, they set fire to the city of Miaojie (Nikolaevsk), causing a total of 384 Japanese personnel to be burned to death in the fire, which was the "Miaojie Incident".

It's pitiful, Temple Street was originally the station of my Northeast administrative agency, Nu'er Gandusi, and it was also the place of Longxing in my Qing Dynasty. Its geographical location is very important, and it is the only way to sail Heilongjiang.

"I think your Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly received strong protests from the Americans. That's the second one. What about the third ......"

He didn't need to ask neon gold, but said to himself: "The Americans are very concerned about your country's acquisition of the Marshall, Mariana, and Caroline Islands in the Pacific Ocean, which originally belonged to Germany. What is their Navy budget for this year? ”

"$433 million!"

Yuan Yanqian sighed and said to the two naval officers: "Then Nomura Daisa, Yamamoto Nakasa." Could you please tell me which country is the '88th Fleet' plan approved by your National Assembly last July? ”

What did he mean by that?

In fact, Master Yuan is hinting at these two neon gold, they want to cut meat from Soviet Russia, not to mention whether they can beat Lao Maozi or not, the Americans definitely do not support and oppose it; If it is to the east, then the Americans will oppose it to the end. The first checkpoint to the south is the American colony of the Philippines.

In the Far East, instead of tying your hands in the north, southeast, and south, you Japanese should have a good time with the Americans in the west.
