Erhui received the letter from Guiyi Tang Hanbujian, and glanced at the envelope, and the small head of the envelope was blank, obviously the Japanese did not want this letter to fall into the hands of others. (.)

It can be seen that the contents of the letter may be extremely confidential, and the person who wrote the letter did not want to have any leverage in the hands of others, and did not even write the name of the recipient.

However, although he was curious about what was written in this letter, Zhao Bei still resisted the urge to open the envelope immediately, but put the letter in the drawer first, and then walked up to Wang Yitang, patted the senior adviser of the presidential palace on the shoulder, said a few words of encouragement, and then got back to business.

"Yi Tang, although you have visited Japan in your capacity as president of the Association for the Promotion of Sino-Japanese Friendly Relations, because of your status as a senior adviser to the Presidential Office, you have also carried an official color in this visit to Japan. As for your trip in Japan, I have already read through the newspaper reports, you don't need to dwell on these topics anymore, just tell me which politicians, chaebols, generals, celebrities you met in Japan, Japanese society is an elite society, and it is these elites who lead the direction of the country's progress, and I need to know their position on China and their position on Anglo-Japanese relations

After speaking, Zhao Bei asked Wang Yitang to sit down in the sand, the two sat down face to face, and then asked the guards to serve tea, and then asked Wang Yitang to tell what he saw and heard in Japan.

Wang Yitang also said simply, starting from the ship docking in a Japanese port, until he met the Japanese politician who was said to be the former minister of the Japanese emperor at a secret place, when he spoke, Wang Yitang's eyebrows fluttered from time to time, and he was a little carried away, and Zhao Bei did not interrupt Wang Yitang's interest, he sat on the sand all the time, quietly listening to Wang Yitang's narration, and from time to time with a smile on his face, encouraging the other party to speak freely. Through Wang Yitang's narration, Zhao Bei basically affirmed his previous speculation that Japan is now at a fork in the road of history, whether to go to the left or to the right, and that various forces in Japan are currently engaged in a fierce struggle, which is embodied in theory, that is, the "international radical proposition" and the "nationalist proposition." The former came from Japanese expatriates in Russia, who were deeply influenced by the Russian Soviet Revolution and proposed to use Soviet beliefs to transform Japanese society, while the latter was actually "militarism." In addition to Japanese military figures, Japanese politicians and chaebols are also very interested in this position.

Both the right wing and the left wing are very interested in Wang Yitang, when Wang Yitang made a friendly visit to Japan, he received a very high standard of reception, second only to the official diplomatic visits of important government officials, during his visit to Japan, Wang Yitang not only met with the Japanese minister and many Japanese government officials, but also had contacts with the Japanese military, although nominally, Wang Yitang visited Japan in a private capacity, but his identity is very special, and he has an official background, so Wang Yitang's visit to Japan is actually a tacit understanding reached between the Chinese and Japanese governments. It is precisely for this reason that both the left-wing and right-wing forces in Japan attach great importance to wooing Wang Yitang and try to strengthen ties with the Chinese government through him and rely on foreign aid.

His Excellency the Japanese Prime Minister suggested that the Chinese and Japanese governments should further strengthen cooperation to jointly safeguard peace in the Far Eastern Buffer Zone, resist the threat of the Red Russian forces, and prevent the emergence of a red tide in the two countries.

”

When talking about the situation in Russia, Wang Yitang's expression immediately changed and became angry, and he was very annoyed by the labor movement in Japan, and at the same time expressed strong opposition to the labor movement in various European countries.

Hearing this, Zhao Bei smiled faintly, wise and wise, this is somewhat exaggerated, but Wang Yitang is right, since the end of the European war, the world economy has been depressed, and political turmoil has occurred in various countries, coupled with the military intervention of the Entente in Soviet Russia, the left-wing movements in various countries have surged, Japan has also been implicated, and there have been popular riots in cities and villages, and it is precisely because of this that the Japanese chaebol will be eager to ask for help from the right-wing forces, trying to use militarism to calm the chaos in Japan.

In the midst of the world's political turmoil, only China appears to be calm, because Zhao Bei has long been prepared for economic depression, and at the same time has used the power of reformed civil society to maintain social order, and those former party associations are now effective organizations to assist local governments in controlling social order, and this method is quite effective, even if there are demonstrations by social groups, they can be quickly quelled, and there is basically no violence.

However, the influence of the Russian Revolution still penetrated in, and now, there have been voices opposing Zhao Bei's unification and rule in some places, although these voices were quickly suppressed by the voices supporting Zhao Bei, but Zhao Bei also knew that as long as the economy continued to be depressed, social turmoil was inevitable, and the political and social state of control would become tighter and tighter.

As society moves forward amid contradictions and struggles, Zhao Bei is a pragmatist and he doesn't believe he can always be right, so now he must be prepared for the more far-reaching world economic depression.

After all, history has changed beyond recognition because of his interference, and the countries closer to Zhao Bei have been affected, especially Japan, so Zhao Bei wants to know whether Japan will embark on the road of militarism in the future.

Japan must continue to embark on the road of militarism, otherwise, China will have to directly face the European and American powers, which will conflict with the strategy of maximizing China's interests formulated by Zhao Bei, so if Japan does not want to take the road of militarism, then Zhao Bei will not mind helping Japan embark on this militarism

Judging from what Wang Yitang told about what he saw and heard in Japan, Japan is now standing at a fork in the road, with Soviet Japan on one side and militarist Japan on the other. After Wang Yitang finished speaking, Zhao Bei did not immediately make a judgment, this is very difficult, and then too much has been changed for the details of history, and the current economic difficulties in Japan are more serious than in this period in history. The main reason is that in the European war, China and Japan shared the dividends of the European war, and the world's economic cake is so big, China eats more, Japan eats less, so the current Japan is hit harder by the economic crisis than Japan in another time and space, which is manifested in industry, there are more unemployed, rice prices are more expensive, and it is manifested in the social trend of thought, that is, the proliferation of "international radicals".

The "international radicals" were the Bolsheviks and their doctrines represented by Soviet Russia, and similar propaganda had appeared in Japan long before the outbreak of the Russian Revolution, and after the outbreak of the Russian Revolution, with the military victory of the Soviet Russian Red Army, Japan was also affected, and more and more people began to pay attention to this catty. Ism.

Out of fear of international excesses, the Japanese chaebols and the military department decided to use militarism and fascism to contend with it, and as a result, many right-wing organizations emerged in Japan, among which the ideas of Shuaki Okawa, Kita Ichiki, and others were the most representative, and they all advocated that Japan should solve the "problem of Japan's transformation." At the same time, they focused their attention on external expansion, but the difference was that one advocated "foreign first and then inside" and the other advocated "internal before foreign" in different forms, but the essence was the same, that is, competing for colonies with European and American powers.

It must be admitted that these Japanese right-wing ideas are a real threat to China, but on the other hand, Zhao Bei used Japan to "take the fire from the fire" for China. The strategy also needs to militarize Japan, and it is precisely because of this that Zhao Bei now "appreciates" this militarist faction in Japan even more.

"In your opinion, is the left wing dominating or the right wing dominating in Japan today? Zhao Bei asked.

Wang Yitang thought about it and told the truth.

"The left-wing has some influence among the people at the bottom of society, but the right-wing proposition is appreciated by the Japanese military department, and it is not easy to say which side has the advantage in the next moment, but at the bottom I feel that both the left wing and the right wing are currently attaching great importance to our country, and if they are used well, they may not be able to bring benefits to our country

Zhao Bei hummed noncommittally, then stood up, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took out the joint letter of "little Japanese pro-China person" that Wang Yitang had just handed over to him, and then walked back to Wang Yitang, opened the envelope, took out the letter, and looked at it hurriedly.

The content of the letter is written in Chinese, the handwriting is neat, the grammar is smooth, it seems that the person who wrote the letter has a deep Sinological cultivation, and it is a touting at the beginning, patting Zhao Bei's horse ass, but Zhao Bei's name and position have never appeared in the letter, and it can also be seen from this detail that the Japanese who wrote the letter acted very cautiously, in order to prevent the letter from falling into the hands of others, or being betrayed by Wang Yitang, he simply hid all the information of the recipient in the letter.

Although so, in Zhao Bei's view, this letter was indeed written to him, and, judging from the inscription, the letter was written by a Japanese fascist organization that called itself "Sakurakai", and after the inscription, there was a long list of names, Okawa Shuaki, Ishihara Waner, Amimura Ningji, Nagata Tetsuyama, Umezu Mijiro, these Japanese militarists who frequently appeared in the history of Japan's invasion of China actually called themselves "pro-China elements" in this joint letter.

Zhao Bei first read the letter, and after reading it, he couldn't help but increase his curiosity, and he wanted to know what these guys wanted to do, so he simply sat on the sand and read the letter carefully, as for Wang Yitang, he sat opposite Zhao Bei in a regular manner, and he didn't even dare to breathe, in fact, he also wanted to know what was written in this letter, and according to his contact with the "Sakura Society" elements, those Japanese right-wingers were obviously fanatical believers in the Italian fascist movement, and they despised the constitutional system. Worship strongman politics and militarism.

Zhao Bei quickly finished reading the letter, with a strange smile on his face, stood up, walked to the fireplace, picked up the match, and seemed to be planning to ignite and destroy the letter, but after hesitating for a while, he finally put the letter in his pocket.

Wang Yitang was even more surprised, trying to guess the content of the letter, but when he was curious, he heard Zhao Bei sigh.

"I'm not alone

After sighing, Zhao Bei walked back to Wang Yitang's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "I have worked hard for you to go to Japan this time, and in the future, the people-to-people exchanges between China and Japan will be handed over to you to preside, and I hope you will do your best." ”

"Please rest assured that the president will be loyal to the president!"

Wang Yitang hurriedly stood up, patted his chest and swore an oath, but he was even more curious in his heart, and he didn't know what President Zhao Da's sentence "I am not lonely" meant.

After Wang Yitang left the presidential office, Zhao Bei walked to the window, looked at the street lamp on the side of the road, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, and watched the car Wang Yitang was riding disappear into the night.

The name "Sakurakai" is a good one. Since you want to light this cherry blossom fire yourself, then, I will help you pour oil and fan the wind, and when the fire burns, the cherry blossoms will also wither this letter, God help me! These Sakura Club members are the cannon fodder sent to the door. ”
