Originally, Yoshimasa Oshima was going to build a new building in Japanese style, but there was not enough money to do it, and it was too eye-catching, after all, if it wasn't for the opposition of the United States and Britain, he would still be the "Governor of Kwantung" now, and Yoshimasa also understood the thoughts of the United States and Britain. The United States and Britain do not recognize "Kwantung Prefecture" as a Japanese colony at all, so do not underestimate the subtle difference between the words "Governor-General" and "Governor-General", there is a great meaning here, especially the US Government, insisting that the so-called "Kanto Prefecture" is only a Japanese leased land in China, and its legal status is exactly the same as that of the British Weihaiwei Lease and the German Jiaozhou Bay Lease, so this territory is not an exclusive Japanese colony, and the principle of "open door and equal interests" also applies here. Japan cannot monopolize the commercial interests of the "Kanto State" under any pretext.

For the interfering position of the United States. Oshima Yoshimasa has always been hostile, in his opinion, the "Kanto Prefecture" was taken from Russia by the Japanese 6 Navy after a bloody and bitter battle, and every inch of land here was sprinkled with the blood of Japanese soldiers, and the Americans had no reason at all to profit from the commercial interests here, even the British!

The Americans are clinging to the difference between the titles of "Governor-General" and "Governor-General" and making a fuss, which in itself is contempt for Japan. Whether it is the German Jiaozhou Bay lease or the British Weihaiwei leased land, its highest military and political chief is the "governor-general", which is written in black and white on the Sino-foreign treaty.

However, what does the Japanese government say about the fact that the Japanese government cannot use a "governor-general" to rule the leased land in the Kanto Prefecture? This shows that in the eyes of the US Government, Japan's international status is only a little higher than that of China, and it cannot sit on an equal footing with Germany and Britain. The reason why the United States is making a big fuss about this matter. It was in retaliation, because Japan, after defeating Russia, tried to close the trade gates of the three eastern provinces, which angered the United States, and the United States did it. It is to make Japan sober up and recognize its international status.

At present, the strength of the Japanese Empire is not strong enough, and the Russo-Japanese War also consumes too much of Japan's energy and military strength, so although it is very disgusted with the United States, both Oshima Yoshimasa himself and the Japanese government and military department are currently resisting, since the Americans want to dump American goods and industrial products into Manchuria. As long as the situation in the Far East does not change significantly, as long as Britain is still an ally of Japan, then one day Japan will expel American goods, and even further annex American colonies in Asia, and the first target of the Japanese Empire is the Philippines!

Although he was a general of the 6th Army, Oshima Yoshimasa was also very interested in the navy, and he was now the governor of Kwantung, and he also had a detachment under his command that could be deployed and commanded, so when the stalwart of the Manchu restoration, Prince Su, walked into the conference room, Oshima Yoshimasa was standing in front of a map of East Asia hanging on the wall. Looking at the islands of the South Seas on the map, he whispered a discussion of maritime strategy with a senior Japanese officer in a navy uniform.

As for the Prince Gong Fu Wei, he sat on the sand beside him with his cheeks in a regular manner. Holding a cup of hot tea, his expression was a little stunned, and beside him, there were several flag men with the same expression, only the politician Nishizawa who was sitting on the side was looking left and right, although one arm was hanging with a bandage, but a trace of excitement could be faintly seen between the eyebrows.

"His Royal Highness King Su, I have finally waited for you.

I saw the good man walk into the conference room. Kimio Nishizawa hurriedly stood up and greeted him. Greeting the benevolent in Chinese is also a reminder to the others in the room, so as not to be too rude and affect the "friendship between Japan and Manchuria"

Hear the voice of Kimio Nishizawa. Yoshimasa Oshima turned and glanced at the naval officer, who bowed and stepped back from the conference room with the staff officer who had led the good man into the room, and closed the oak door.

It was only then that the good man appeared, and his brother with a different surname, "Dao Lang, did not follow up the conference room, but now, he can't take care of Wu Lang."

"I heard that the governor of Oshima had something to advise, so the contemptible people rushed back to Lushun."

The benefactor took his hat and bowed to Yoshimasa Oshima.

Nishizawa Gongxiong acted as a flipper on the side, and as for King Gong Fuwei, he also hurriedly stood up, and the other bannermen also stood up in the same way. Stupidly watched the benevolent man greet Yoshimasa Oshima.

Compared with the good man, Qi Wei is much more "restrained", and the days when he met Oshima Yoshimasa are not short, but he has never bowed to the other party, at most he said hello and shook hands, after all, he is the prince, I don't know how much higher than a "governor", I really can't put down the shelf to bow to Oshima Yoshimasa, and we must also take into account the thoughts of his subordinates, the prince bows to the governor, which is a cheap thing in which dynasty and generation. It is understandable that Qi Wei did not do it.

But the good man obviously has no such concerns, perhaps, this is also an important reason why the Japanese are particularly "important" to him, and one of the manifestations of this "weight" is that the Japanese ronin sells better ordnance to the good faction than the ordnance sold to the Qi Wei faction, although the money to buy the ordnance was handed over to the Japanese ronin by the two princes.

In Bo Wei's eyes, the good man is called "willing to be cheap" and is not worthy of being the "Emperor of Manchukuo", and the Banner People Restoration faction under his command also thinks so, but on the other hand, without the support of the Japanese, the restoration plan of the "Eight Banners outside the Guan" is a pipe dream, so the relationship between Fu Wei and Japan is a little peculiar, on the one hand, he wants to rely on the support of the Japanese to ascend to the throne, on the other hand, he does not want to give up the popularity of the "Virtuous King", and wants to win more support among the Banner People.

But in his bones, Fu Wei is still only the governor of the Japanese Kwantung region, so yesterday Oshima Yoshimasa sent a telegram to Liaoyang, and Qi Wei hurried to Lushun, the reason why he only arrived an hour earlier than the good man. It's all because he still has something to attend to.

A few days ago, the net came back from the Dongmeng grassland, to Liaoyang, Fu Wei heard that there were several horse bandits in the Jinzhou area, and they were being surrounded and suppressed by Zhang Zuoshuang, the Liaoning town guard, and now they are seeking refuge everywhere, so Qi Wei wanted to bring those horse bandits into his command and enrich the armed strength of the "Eight Banners outside the Guan", but before formally negotiating with the other party, the telegram of the governor of the Kwantung Prefecture, Oshima Yoshimasa, arrived, so Qi Wei had to send a few of his subordinates to negotiate with the bandits on the matter of incorporation, and he took a few cronies to Lushun by train. Meet Yoshimasa Oshima.

Like the good man, Qi Wei didn't expect Oshima Yoshimasa to summon the two of them at the same time, and recently the two of them were fighting openly and secretly for the throne, and the relationship was also tense, so at this sight, both of them were a little embarrassed.

Over there, Oshima Yoshimasa and the good man finished greeting, and they each sat down, and here Fu Wei and the others sat down 6 times, and after sitting down, Qi Wei asked the good man.

"Abandon the king, you went to Guannei, but did you find out the whereabouts of the emperor?"

The good man glanced at Qi Wei, shook his head, and said, "Now there are rumors in the Guannai that the republican government has secretly executed Emperor Xuantong. The regent was also martyred together, and it was rumored that there was a nose and an eye, although our Eight Banners outside the Guanxi were too far away from the capital and the news was not available, but this also had to be prepared in advance, in case the emperor encountered an accident, we had to pick a backbone outside the Eight Banners to restore the country. No matter what we have been doing for more than 200 years, the society of the Qing Dynasty has not been crowned, and it has been cut off in the middle of the year. King Gong. Do you think that's the reason? ”

"Exactly, exactly." Fu Wei nodded repeatedly.

The good man said: "In addition, Duanjin has done his best for the Qing Dynasty, we must not forget the loyal minister, and we have to give him a grace, so that everyone in the world knows that our banner people are also righteous." ”

"That's, that's."

Qi Wei nodded again, glanced at Nishizawa Gongxiong, who was sitting beside him, and said: "Last time the bannermen of the capital rioted, Mr. Nishizawa was also involved, and he was also machine-gunned in the diplomatic carriage, and was shot and wounded in the arm, which can be seen. Japanese friends have also done their best for the cause of the restoration of the Qing Dynasty. ”

This is to curry favor with Kimio Nishizawa. Now that the benevolent man has the help of Kawashima Lang, then Qi Wei naturally needs to find a "friend" to seize the throne for himself, and the person he likes is Nishizawa Gongo.

Seeing that the two Manchu restorationists were so impatient to establish their own leadership positions, and Zhan Wei also took the initiative to sell himself well, Nishizawa Gongo only smiled faintly and interjected.

"Two princes, your views are very reasonable, and now, we should indeed determine as soon as possible" the candidate for the ruling party of Manchuria, and it is precisely for this matter that the two of you are invited to come over today. ”

"Manchukuo in power?"

Both the good man and Fu Wei were stunned. Exchanging glances, asked by the good one.

"Isn't it the Emperor of Manchukuo? How did it become ruling again? In the past, you said, "Great Qing Kingdom." The name of the country is inconvenient, and now I want to put "the emperor." Is it for convenience to change to "govern"? ”

This question was not answered by Kimio Nishizawa, but by Yoshimasa Oshima, the governor of the Kanto region.

"Your Royal Highness King Su, you are right. Changing the word "emperor" to "ruling power" is precisely for the sake of convenience. Because if you call it the emperor, it will be too ostentatious, after all, the Republic of China is now widely recognized in the world. The great powers will never recognize the "Emperor of Manchukuo" but change the name to "ruling state, it will be different, even if "Manchukuo" cannot obtain diplomatic recognition from all the great powers, you can still exercise "autonomy" in South Manchuria, then the highest military and political chief of the local government obviously cannot be called "emperor, or "in power." It's more appropriate. ”

Although Oshima Tomasa's answer did not satisfy the good man and Fu Wei, they also heard another meaning from this passage.

"May I ask Your Excellency the Governor, has the Japanese government made up its mind to support the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai Movement?" The Good Man asked.

"I want to remind the two princes again. It is not the Japanese Government or the Japanese Military Department that supports the cause of the restoration of the Eight Banners outside the Kansai Gates, but friendly people in Japan, so your actions have nothing to do with the Japanese Government or the Japanese Military Department. ”

Although Yoshimasa Oshima shook his head, his next words made Benevolent and Fuwei excited.

"As a Japanese friend who has always had a good impression of the Qing Kingdom, I personally sympathize with the plight of the banner people, so I have decided to support the cause of the restoration of the two of you, and if you want to do something in the near future, then I can give you considerable support."

Speaking of this, Yoshimasa Oshima took out a piece of paper from his pocket, the words on it were dense, but there was no official insignia, he handed the paper to Nishizawa Kirio, who in turn handed it to the good man.

The good man took the paper and looked at it a few times. Now all written on it is a list of ordnance, 20,000 rifles, 50 cannons, and a number of ammunition. In addition, there were also a number of "Japanese friends" who "voluntarily signed up" to participate in the "armed uprising" of the bannermen, all of whom had served in the army and possessed considerable military qualities.

The implications of this could not be clearer. Obviously, Oshima Yoshimasa changed his ambiguous attitude in the past and began to blatantly incite the bannermen to riot.

For Oshima Yoshimasa's "generosity" the benevolent and Fu Wei are grateful, even Fu Wei, who has always been reluctant to humble himself, also made an exception to bow to Oshima Yoshimasa, and the result is naturally that the guests and hosts dispersed happily, Oshima Yoshimasa pointed slightly, and the benevolent and Fu Wei left the conference room and went to the hotel to discuss the specific details of the action.

As for the question of who will be the "ruler of Manchukuo," there was still no agreement at this meeting, but the Japanese were obviously not in a hurry. They are very patient.

After the two stalwarts of the Manchu Restoration faction left, "Wu Langcai, who had been waiting outside the conference room, walked into the conference room and asked Oshima Yoshimasa, "Your Excellency the Governor, why is this action so sudden?" I didn't have any preparation in advance, otherwise I could have gathered more people to participate in the gathering of information. It is also good for the incitement of the hearts of the people

。

"Kawashima-kun, as an opposition. You can't understand the meaning of this. ”

Yoshimasa Oshima motioned for Kimao Nishizawa to close the door to the conference room before continuing to analyze the stakes here.

"At present, there are serious differences within the imperial government on the policy of China, one faction believes that the priority should be given to the top, and the other faction believes that the central government of China should resolutely fight back against the unreasonable picks on fat people." The Xinzhou Incident, the apology incident and the subsequent Sino-Russian Kugui Railway Incident showed that in the eyes of the current president of the Republic of China, Japan has become the greatest enemy of the Republic of China, so the military department unanimously agreed that it is necessary to take appropriate measures to remind the president of the Republic of China that the dignity of the Japanese Empire cannot be ignored! Moreover, most of the senators did not explicitly oppose the decision of the military department. ”

"Your Excellency mean, this is what the military department meant? The government and Congress are not aware? "Nishizawa was a little surprised, if that's the case, then this time the military department is a little too much.

Yoshimasa Oshima glanced at Kiyo Nishizawa, and he didn't think it was necessary to be reasonable with this politician-turned-person.

"Nishizawa-kun, you don't have to doubt the decision of the military department now, since the military department has already issued an order, then, no matter what, it must be implemented! If the operation succeeds, the government and Congress will be suppressed by the military department, and they will have nothing to say. And the great interests of the Japanese soldiers in exchange for great sacrifices will not be buried by a group of short-sighted politicians. According to the plan of the military department, the Guannai banner and the Guanwai banner people should have acted together a long time ago, but due to the interference of the short-sighted politicians, this best course of action could not be implemented. And directly led to the collapse of the forces of the bannermen in the Guannai, so it can be seen that if the internal enemy is not cleared, then the external enemy will get a respite. ”

"What if the operation fails? Although the military department does not plan to do it directly, after all, it is the military department that supports the banner people. ”

Kimio Nishizawa asked, but then he saw Yoshimasa Oshima's fierce gaze, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

"If the operation fails, naturally someone will be held accountable for it, but it will definitely not be the military department!" Yoshimasa Oshima is categorical.

This time, even "Island Lang" was in a cold sweat.

Whether it is Nishizawa Kineo or Ogawashima Lang, in the eyes of a big man like Oshima Yoshimasa, they are inconsequential pawns that can be sacrificed at any time, as for the bigwigs of the military department, not to mention, maybe the bigwigs of the military department have not considered the possibility of failure of the operation at all.

This is an adventure and a great struggle between Japan's domestic political forces, and the outcome of the operation is likely to lead to drastic changes in Japan's domestic and foreign policy.

Thinking of this, even Yoshimasa Oshima was in a cold sweat.
