The defeated Japanese chief Uehara Yusaku returned to China, first reported to the emperor and the military department, and then returned home and chose to commit suicide by disembowelment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Uehara Yong won the forgiveness of the Japanese people for his death, and another Japanese chieftain Okawaishi also chose to commit suicide after the debriefing, because he committed suicide with a pistol, so he did not succeed, and was saved by his family and did not die, but Nagaoka Gaishi has become a joke in the world - even suicide is unsuccessful, don't think about killing Chinese.

The commander of the 17th Division of the Japanese Crusade Army, Senba Taro, did not receive any blame, after all, he contracted malaria as soon as he went to China, and he did not get better until he returned to Japan, and he saved 3,500 Japanese soldiers in the end, so he was the only hero of the Jiangdu battle against Japan this time.

Even the attitude of the Japanese media towards China has changed greatly, and many media have begun to selectively use the word Shina when referring to China, and perhaps only a big defeat can awaken the Japanese to respect China.

The Japanese media first dug out from the inside why the crusading army was defeated, and they believed that the successive changes in the cabinet had made the officers and men on the front line unstable, and what the cabinet's policy toward China was always plaguing the officers and men on the front line.

Japan's "Asahwa Daily" reporter Tazawa Youjiro believes that the victory of the Russo-Japanese War has made the Japanese Army arrogant, and even the General Staff Headquarters knows very little about their opponent, the Jiangbei Army, and is far less than the original investigation of Russia, they only analyzed Wang Yongan, the king of Jiangbei, but this time Wang Yongan completely delegated power to his two major generals, Li Shirui and Fang Xianwu, and even the Japanese did not know who Li Shirui was, or only learned afterwards that Li Shirui had studied at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School for two years. Fang Xianwu also studied at Zhenwu School in Japan for a year. The Japanese did not pay attention to China, but their opponents studied themselves very thoroughly, and Yusaku Uehara was eager to make a name for himself, so he was sure to win a greater victory after victory, so the enemy set a trap for him to get into. This is a testament to the fact that their opponents are very familiar with everything about Japan and how much they value them.

Japan's "Tokyo Daily" analysis believes that China's form of civil war has also made Japan make wrong judgments, and the Japanese always think that the Chinese are not united, and the Chinese are good at internal fighting and not good at external fighting, but it can be seen from this crusade against Jiangbei that when Japan attacked Jiangbei, all parts of China supported it, and even some Sichuan troops from China's far southwest went down the river to support Jiangbei. Therefore, in the future or in the near future, we must take into account Japan's influence on China and whether it will really bring an unfavorable situation to China. For Japan, a divided China is the best China, and a united China is the worst China. If Japan's actions can accelerate the division of China, then it is the best way to be tough or strategic, and vice versa, it is the wrong way.

The large-scale protests also triggered a resurgence of Japanese militarist ideology, and calls for strong punishment of China became louder, and even on the streets of Tokyo, young students calling for troops to send troops to China clashed with Japanese police. Some radical military soldiers have written bloody letters demanding that China be punished.

On the other hand, Japanese scholars put forward the opposite view, holding that we should not continue to be tough, otherwise we would lose both sides and have an extremely unfavorable impact on the Japanese Empire, while some academic newspapers, including the Tokyo Ilbo, demanded that the cabinet immediately come up with a correct China policy, make it public, and eliminate the impact of the defeat at an early date. However, a few days later, some of the fund's teenagers set fire to the Tokyo Ilbo newspaper office, and after the military and police arrested several teenagers, they had to be detained for a few days before being released.

Japanese Prime Minister Gonbei Yamamoto was so anxious that after discussing the matter with the cabinet, he immediately secretly met with Saionji Gongwang to discuss how to resolve the domestic trend of national war against China, which was severely punished against China. You must know that although the time period of the Jiangdu Battle was not high, it used half of the annual cost of the Japanese Army. In the second half of the year, the Japanese Army actually had no funds, let alone buying new guys, even weapons and ammunition supplies. At this time, the Japanese army departments asked for war one after another, not really wanting to send troops to fight, but wanting to ask for money from the cabinet.

Gonbei Yamamoto had just allocated military expenses to the navy, but he didn't expect the army to use war as a threat, which was really unexpected.

Money has become Yamamoto's biggest problem.

The Japanese government's money is composed of three parts, state-owned factories, small business taxes, and consortium taxes, of which the largest fiscal leaders are naturally Japan's top 10 consortia, whose taxes account for 80 percent of Japan's finances, so the influence of Japanese consortia on the government is becoming more and more heavy. The Japanese consortium threatened to cut off the Japanese military's funds at every turn, forcing the military to listen to them, which is also the reason why the army's own foundations, such as the Manchurian Railway Group, appeared in the future. In the future, the famous Japanese Kwantung Army was able to get rid of the control of the Japanese consortium, launched 918 on its own, occupied the Northeast, earned great benefits, and finally completely got rid of the influence of the consortium.

At present, however, the Japanese military still has to rely on the support of the consortiums, and the opinion of the consortiums is naturally that there can be no war; now the situation in Europe is tense, Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Russia and other countries are engaged in an arms race, and the development of European countries is focused on the direction of the military industry, which has given the Japanese chaebols great room for development. In addition, European countries have sent orders to Japanese foundations, hoping that they will produce various products for them. Therefore, the Japanese chaebols warned Yamamoto Gonbei that the Japanese chaebols now have no time to pay for the military, and they are now working at full speed to produce various orders for Europe, and all their funds are invested in expanding factories and buying materials.

Saionji Konozomi cautiously analyzed that there may not be a war in Europe, but the arms race in Europe will certainly have the best opportunity for Japan's development. However, if the Sino-Japanese war continues, it will seriously affect Japan's economic development. The reason why Saionji was also reluctant to continue the war was because of the economic prosperity of Japan caused by the tensions in Europe, and he did not want to miss the opportunity.

"But if there is another all-out war against China, what are the chances of our country winning?" Yamamoto Gonbei suddenly asked after a long time, he didn't think about this question, this time the defeat of the Jiangdu War made the cabinet very passive, Katsura Taro jumped up and down and threatened to launch the "Rilu War" again, the whole country and China war, and many people in the cabinet also raised the question, whether we should show the courage to fight a decisive battle. Gonbei Yamamoto is also a soldier, and of course he will not only think about solving problems by political means, and he will never be soft when it is time to use military means.
