Chapter 423: No Desire is Rigid
Chen Zhong's remarks caused an uproar in the West and even around the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are two fierce voices in Japan.
One voice is vigorously advocating the Japanese militarist ideology and demanding that the Japanese Government recreate the glory of the Yamato nation with a strong attitude.
On the other hand, there is the hope that Japan should accept the reality in front of it, face up to its true history, earnestly fulfill its commitments, and make the world an honest and responsible Japan.
Japan's Meiji Emperor was restless when he received Chen Zhong's telegram, because everything had pushed Japan into an embarrassing dilemma from the current state of affairs.
After the distant hatred and hatred, the secret technique of the war was investigated
In fact, after the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese passed the Treaty of Shimonoseki to obtain Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, and received huge indemnities from the Qing Dynasty.
However, they are not very interested in the island of Taiwan. During the period when it first took over the island, Japan tried to sell the island to France on several occasions.
Due to the insistence of Gentaro Kodama in the later period, Japan made up its mind to continue to operate the island of Taiwan. Through extremely violent means, they began to plunder Taiwan on a large scale, and transported Taiwan's rich minerals and resources back to Japan in a steady stream.
The Taiwanese people, who were oppressed by the Japanese rulers, began to rise up one after another to resist the brutal suppression of the Japanese rulers, and many anti-Japanese uprisings broke out.
Hirobumi Ito, then prime minister of Japan, believed that Taiwan was actually a heavy burden to Japan, and Japan's focus should be on the Liaodong Peninsula.
However, after all, Taiwan is the land that they Japan has robbed, which is like a beggar who suddenly grabbed a rich lady, but she can't afford to support her.
In fact, Emperor Meiji had long wanted to sell Taiwan, but he had not been able to do so due to the obstruction of the domestic opposition.
In the past two years, Japan has been beaten back to its original form by the king of Hainan, and it has become a beggar in the Far East again. Not to mention running Taiwan, their survival in Japan has become a serious problem.
Therefore, Emperor Meiji originally wanted to take advantage of the "Pyongyang Treaty" to hand over Taiwan to the king of Hainan.
Halfway through, however, a local tyrant like the United States came out, holding a "big stick" in one hand, promising to give Japan a large amount of "gold dollars" and demanding that Japan stay in Taiwan in a rogue way. However, where is the king of Hainan who is easy to mess with!
Emperor Meiji was in a dilemma.
Emperor Meiji said at a cabinet meeting in Japan: "I thought that in the past 100 years, we in Japan have exhausted all kinds of means in order to seek development and strength, and it is shameless and despicable enough.
In the early years, my heart would beat faster and my face would turn red in the dark night after every meanness and shamelessness, and I was really worried about the retribution that would happen to us in Japan.
However, since I met the Americans, I have gradually begun to feel relieved that there are so many despicable companions in this world.
Nowadays, we Japanese can only be regarded as playing soy sauce in front of these Americans. Their meanness and shamelessness have reached a state of transcendence, and they are all extremely beautifully packaged!
Now, I don't worry anymore that if we will be punished for our actions, then Americans should have gone to hell a long time ago! ”
Not far away, the coolest moon enemy trick I picked up
Japan's cabinet meeting held a heated discussion over Emperor Meiji's remarks, which lasted for a whole afternoon.
In the end, they came to the conclusion that the Japanese could be a little more vile and shameless, and for the sake of the great revival of the Great Japanese Empire, they would carry this shameless spirit to the end!
The Japanese emperor communicated with the White House in response to the content of the telegram from Hainan Wang Chenzhong.
In his reply, Roosevelt highly praised Emperor Meiji of Japan for his incomparable courage and courage for the sake of stability and balanced development in the Far East.
He greatly admired Japan, as a country not too powerful in the Pacific, for making an extremely significant contribution to peace in the region.
Roosevelt said that the United States would give full support to and help Japan in safeguarding the current situation in Taiwan and ensuring Japan's interests in Taiwan.
The United States will fulfill its commitment to send the South Pacific Fleet and the Far East Fleet as scheduled to intervene strongly militarily in the region.
Finally, Roosevelt stressed that Japan must trust the United States, which has the ability to maintain security in the Pacific.
Knot far away Cork Cool Moon enemy hated Sun Jiqiu
The enemy hates the ship far away
At the end of the telegram, he attached a sentence that since the US fleet was carrying out its mission over a long distance, Japan was asked to ensure that all the logistical supplies of the two US fleets, especially in terms of food, would be increased as much as possible.
An old saying that is very good in China is very good - the wall is a thousand thousands, and if there is no desire, it is rigid! ”
Secretary of Defense William Howard Taft's message to the Japanese emperor, and the confident President Roosevelt, gave Taft a cold sweat on his forehead.
He muttered: "Your Excellency, you and the Emperor of Japan should have graduated from the same school, your thinking has far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, and I dare not think about what will happen to Japan in the Taiwan Strait in ten days."
I have a hunch, Mr. President, that this time in the Taiwan Strait crisis, you will kill Japan. I've always felt that we were cheating on Japan. Your Excellency, are you using Japan as just a bargaining chip?
The enemy is far away from the enemy, and the enemy is cold, and the enemy is a geographic
If we win the bet, we in the United States will get a huge return, but Japan is still the same Japan.
If we lose the bet, we in the United States will still be the same as the United States, but the stupid Japanese will be finished! ”
Roosevelt looked innocent, shrugged his shoulders and said, "My old friend, why do you always think of me as so mean." Ever since you became my Minister of Defense, you've been portraying me like that, and even sometimes, I feel like I'm really shameless.
You know, I never wanted to do that, I think everything I do, I contribute to the world, even if I do something out of the ordinary, I do it unwillingly.
Later, Kebudi Ke Fang Yuezhu hated cold technology
If at some point, when you make those not-so-sunny decisions, I can seriously tell you that I was forced. ”
Taft's eyes widened in surprise, and Roosevelt, with a kind face, said: "Mr. President, since I have been in this position, I seem to have spent most of my time making that kind of not very sunny decision, have you been forced all along!" ”
Sun Yuandi hated the early party after sealing Fang for a long time
President Roosevelt nodded and said, "Persecuted? Well, maybe! In short, I make all decisions in the national interest of the United States.
Sun Yuanji hated the cabinet meeting of Japan in the early days, and there was a heated discussion about Emperor Meiji's remarks, which lasted for a whole afternoon.
As for what you said that I used the Japanese as bargaining chips, it was all of their own volition, and I did not force them.
I have always believed that in this world, all the deceived people will become bargaining chips in the hands of the deceived because they are too greedy and demanding.
Not because I'm too mean, but because the Japanese are too greedy.
There is an old Chinese saying that is very good - the wall is a thousand thousand, and if there is no desire, it is rigid! ”
Secretary of Defense William Howard Taft nodded, and at this moment, he realized that the respected President of the United States in front of him was so charming!
