Chapter 229: Attacking the Heart

At the Fourth Parliament in 122, the budget was cut and administrative reform began. At that time, Gonbei Yamamoto was the chief of the Chief Cabinet of the Ministry of the Navy, and under his leadership, he established the Naval Command Department, which was relatively close to the Ministry of the Navy, so that the navy, which was lagging behind the army, had an equal status with the army. In the process of personnel reshuffling at the same time, he also listed fellow villagers, seniors, and those who had contributed to the Meiji Restoration, and dismissed eight generals and 89 school officers from their posts. With a short sword on his desk, Yamamoto Osa met with the officers on the list one by one and announced to them the decision to lay off. Whether it was the roar of "rebellion against rebellion" or the bitter pleading, Yamamoto was unmoved, and completed the first "slimming operation" in the history of the Yamamoto Navy with a heart and a hard heart. His iron fist was appreciated by Youpeng Yama County, who was born in the army.

Yamamoto Gonbei was able to soar into the sky, and the kindness of Yama Prefecture Youpeng played a key role, and at this moment, Yamamoto Gonbei became the prime minister and took the active officer system of the Minister of the Army and Navy, which made Yamayama Gunbei hate it to the bone marrow??? This is a typical bowl of noodles and the bottom of the bowl!

If we don't get rid of this Yamamoto Quan Bingwei, won't the leading figures of the Navy, the Army, be raised in groups and follow suit, and won't the status of Youpeng in Yama County be greatly impacted in the future?

With this, we must also defeat Yamamoto Gonbei, a guy who doesn't know the depths!

Genjiro Akashi still had a calm and breezy expression, standing at the window blowing the cold wind, listening to the roar of the angry crowd outside.

This little thing really didn't put on Akashi's heart, in the distant Russian Petersburg, he can drum up a revolution, and it is not a piece of cake to bring down a Yamamoto Gonbei cabinet in Tokyo?

It's been a long time since you've been in such a good mood in Yama County, and he keeps drinking without the slightest drunkenness, but Akashi Genjiro just tastes it.

"Patriarch, what do you think about the imminent war in Europe?" Genjiro Akashi asked softly.

Shan County Youpeng was stunned for a moment: "I said that Ben has an alliance with the United Kingdom, of course he wants to help the United Kingdom, is there anything to say about this?" ”

Akashi Genjiro nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this is the only way for the empire to survive, the army's pro-German forces are very strong, and I hope the senator will suppress it??? If the empire is on the wrong side, it will definitely be a dead end! ”

Yama Prefecture Yutomo was puzzled, he didn't understand why Akashi Genjiro said this.

Akashi Genjiro smiled faintly and said, "That's why I have to return to my country??? The navy is basically pro-British, but Gonbei Yamamoto is pro-German, so he can't be prime minister! ”

Youpeng in Shanxian suddenly realized, and he solemnly saluted this junior: "Akashi-kun is really the pillar of the empire!" There are friends in Shan County who despise you, please forgive me! ”

Genjiro Akashi just smiled silently, and the urine in the room was swept up by the wind blowing from the window, filling the room with an unpleasant scratching smell.

The Minister of War Terauchi ran in in a hurry, but he was almost smoked by the smell of urine in his nose, and as soon as he frowned and covered his nose, he saw the hideous face of Yamaguchi Youpeng, and quickly put his hand down, changed his smile and said: "Teacher, the marchers surrounded the Diet, the Ministry of the Navy, and the Prime Minister's official residence, and the four thousand policemen could not maintain order, Yamamoto Gonbei asked the army to send troops to maintain law and order in Tokyo." ”

The schadenfreude in Terauchi's words was full of schadenfreude, and he was happier than eating bee feces when he saw the navy eating deflated.

Yama Prefecture Youpeng said quietly: "Tell Yamamoto Gonbei that the army is to protect the people, not to suppress the people who demand justice." If there are really small people mixed in, let the police take care of it. ”

Terauchi Masashi happily called the Ministry of War, and then stayed in this room filled with the smell of urine and waited for the good news.

Soon after, the good news came, and the police stationed in the Congress, who did not know which tendon troops, actually drew their knives and threatened the procession. The police will draw their knives, but won't the ronins on the march draw their knives? Ichito-ryu, Yagyu-ryu, Iga-ryu??? The ronins show off their family knife skills, and the policemen who kill them are all over the place.

The fact that the police drew their swords in front of the Diet immediately shocked the Privy Council, and the old nobles rose up in groups, causing Prime Minister Gonbei Yamamoto and Minoru Saito, the prime minister in the whirlpool, to complain.

The temple was full of pride, just waiting to see Yamamoto Gonbei's jokes, Akashi Genjiro, who had been silent with a wine glass, suddenly turned his head and said to Yama County Youpeng with a solemn expression: "Elder, let's stop in moderation, we can end it, let the army come forward to solve it." ”

Yamaguchi nodded, his purpose was to bring down the Yamamoto Gonbei cabinet, not to cause a large-scale bloody conflict in Tokyo, let alone a civil war between the navy and the army.

Only Terauchi Masashi was unwilling, but in this room, it was not his turn to speak as a war minister.

??? Dividing line ???

In the Anqing Military Advisory Mansion, Chai Dongliang and Gao Chuguan were discussing how to make the messing in their country more lively.

In Chai Dongliang's memory, the end of the "Siemens Incident" was the collapse of the Yamamoto Gonbei cabinet, and he was thrown into the reserve together with the Minister of the Navy Minoru Saito, and entered the lowest point of his life, and the army won a complete victory.

But history has been changed beyond recognition because of the arrival of Chai Dongliang, Jiang Zhiqing was shot, Zhang Xun was blown to pieces, Zhang Xun's restoration and the Jiang dynasty are definitely impossible. Then, who dares to guarantee that the history of this book will not be affected, in case the reform of Yamamoto Gonbei is successful, and this guy will return the power of the army and navy to the political axe, and from then on the government decree and military order will be unified, then the joke will be too big.

Gao Chuguan and Chai Dongliang had a Chinese version of "Dongying Yue Bao" in front of them, and Gao Chuguan couldn't stop praising Qian Laoer's beautiful work.

"Mr. Mukaihara, there is only one Koji Yano now, and there is no money left!" Chai Dongliang reminded.

Gao Chuguan smiled: "Gaffe, gaffe." ”

Chai Dongliang is helpless, there is a lack of intelligence work talents around him, although Gao Chuguan is very deep in the city government, but he has to be responsible for the overall work of the military advisory office, and it is indeed a bit condescending to let him manage intelligence work.

I can only slowly find or cultivate, many things are in a hurry, and it is useless to be in a hurry, and the more anxious I am, the easier it is to make mistakes.

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, isn't Yuan Shikai ready to start a war with us in Manmeng? Why is there no movement? Kuang Haishan and Gu Mazi are itching their hands! Chai Dongliang asked.

Gao Chuguan's round face burst into a smile: "He wants to fight, the question is who is willing to send troops?" Feng Guozhang sent people to talk to us secretly, hoping to return to Jiangbei and promise not to do anything with us, but he just hoped that he would not take advantage of them to cross the river. Duan Zhigui was besieged in Hubei, and 50,000 people from the four divisions of the Hubei army went to make trouble every day, and the 6,000 Beiyang Army did not dare to suppress it, for fear that the Hubei army would mutiny now, Duan Zhigui was also counted as two days a day, Duan Qirui was busy exterminating the white wolf bandits, and he was also lacking in skills, and Cao Kun was said to be sick??? Governor, who else can Beiyang send out? ”

Chai Dongliang was puzzled: "Didn't Yuan Shikai plan to send Wang Shizhen and Cai Yi to fight Manmeng?" ”

Gao Chuguan smiled slyly: "General Cai Yi wants to lead the troops, the problem is that Yuan Shikai is not at ease, Wang Shizhen also said that he was sick and went home, and now Beiyang wants to fight Manmeng, unless Yuan Shikai personally leads the troops." ”

Chai Dongliang also scratched his head for Yuan Shikai, Beiyang's feudal townization has reached such a serious point, in 1908, before Yuan Shikai returned to Huanshui to fish, he could still be like an arm, only five years have passed, it has become a plate of loose sand.

Since this is the case, is it possible to start in advance, directly solve the Beiyang, and unify China by force? Chai Dongliang held his chin and weighed the pros and cons repeatedly in his mind.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that it is inappropriate, Beiyang is already full of factions, if you ignore them, then the degree of feudal townization will become more and more intense, if you send troops to attack now, maybe Beiyang will be forced by the situation and will unite to Yuan Shikai's side??? The gains outweigh the losses!

As long as there are no Beiyang forces south of the Yangtze River, and with the advantage of the Yangtze River fleet isolating the north and the south, there will be no worries about backyard fires when they send troops to participate in World War I??? It's impossible for the Beiyang army to attack themselves with a bathtub, right?

Two cruisers ordered from Austria-Hungary at the end of the Qing Dynasty and a cruiser ordered from Britain were about to be delivered to the Yangtze River Fleet, although the price was very cheap, but it could be delivered before World War I, which could be regarded as expanding its own strength, and the Shanghai Guanghua Shipyard claimed to have built two 4,000-ton cruisers for the Chilean Navy will soon be delivered.

With these five cruisers, together with the Three Seas Fleet and the "Feihong" that have already been commissioned, the strength of the Yangtze River Fleet has greatly expanded compared with two years ago.

In addition, two of the eight dreadnought-class battleships stipulated in the Bethlehem Contract have already begun construction and will be completed and put into service in October 1914, and the remaining six battleships and twenty new armored cruisers will be completed within three years.

When World War I broke out next year, Chai Dongliang already had two battleships and nine cruisers, eight of which were newly launched equipment, and although the tonnage of the combined fleet far exceeded that of the Jianghuai Army, the ships were obviously much older. Three years later, in 1916, the plan for naval construction in the Bethlehem Contract would be completed, and by that time, Chai Dongliang would have eight battleships, twenty cruisers, and a full hundred submarines, not counting the seaplane aircraft carriers secretly built by the Guanghua Shipyard in Shanghai in the name of building merchant ships.

The collapse of the Yamamoto Gonbei cabinet also indicates the indefinite delay in the plan of the 88th Fleet, even if he himself strangles his neck and does not eat, the boys go to work as child laborers, and the girls all sell their bodies with their thighs apart, even if the lower part of the women is trimmed with gold, whether they buy it or build it themselves, it is impossible for the 88th Fleet to be completed within three years.

If the Sino-Japanese War can be postponed until 1916, three years later, the naval officers of the Jianghuai Army will also graduate, and the level of the disciples personally trained by Rear Admiral Ma Han should be beyond doubt, and at that time, the Jianghuai Army will far surpass the Japanese Army in terms of the tonnage of the ships and the command ability of the officers. In particular, the tonnage of the ships will be more than twice that of the United Fleet, and the artillery fire will be three times that of the Combined Fleet, while the oldest ships will be only three or four years old, and the youngest warships of the Combined Fleet will have been in service for more than ten years, and according to the standards of the European and American naval powers, they are already scrap products that should be eliminated!

It is said that Ben hugged the thick leg of the British Empire, but where did the old aristocratic British Empire treat it as a green onion?

The Yankees, on the other hand, are nothing more than a second-rate country and an upstart in the eyes of the European powers.

The old aristocratic British Empire will not throw a single copper plate to the little one, but the nouveau riche United States threw a large amount of dollars to China!

Thinking of this, Chai Dongliang couldn't help but feel a little proud, not only reincarnation is a science, but hugging the thighs is also a science!

It's just that Chai Dongliang suddenly thought of a question, the First World War will break out next year, will Xiao Yue give himself three years of hard work development?
