After receiving a request from the Japan Restoration Association, which was formally established by Kita Ikki, the Central People's Party Committee loaded 100,000 tons of fertilizer, 400,000 tons of grain, and 500,000 sets of denim garments that had been hoarded in the port of Busan to Japan.

According to the plan, the Japanese naval units that participated in the Showa Restoration were "escorted" throughout the whole process, and the military and the labor force at each unloading port were organized to carry out the transportation. The Japanese side was relatively cold to the Chinese material transport personnel, but it was very polite in its response. The personnel in charge of transportation noticed that the young soldiers of the "Showa Restoration" did not pay for their labor simply in yen. Workers involved in transportation can choose Japanese yen, food, and garments to pay. The Chinese personnel observed that in the first batch of transportation, more than 60 percent of the Japanese people involved in the transportation chose rice and white noodles, less than 30 percent chose Japanese yen, and 10 percent chose ready-made clothing.

In the second shipment, this ratio has changed, and the proportion of Japanese workers who receive rice and white flour remains unchanged at more than 60%. The choice of ready-to-wear jumped to 30%, and only a small number of Japanese people accepted Japanese yen payment.

The third batch of transportation has changed, and after most of the laborers have put on thick, hard-wearing garments, the rice and white flour are halved and the yen is opened.

The result of the analysis of the intelligence personnel is that Japan is not in chaos to the point where even the yen has lost its credibility, and the social order in Japan as a whole is gradually stabilizing.

China's strong industrial production capacity doesn't care much about this material. China has popularized the use of improved seeds, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides, and there is no end to the construction of basic water conservancy. The total grain production reached 300 million tons, and the supply of eggs, poultry, meat and condiments was sufficient. A new synthetic ammonia production line, 1,400 square kilometers of ordinary farmland with a yield of 400 catties per mu for one season, and 5,000 acres of ordinary cotton fields with a yield of more than 200 catties per mu, the output of one year is enough for these aid materials. This is just a small amount of goods in the industrial countries.

But for Japan, even if the raw material of air is not expensive, Japan's synthetic ammonia in 1936 was only 700,000 tons. China's air separation nitrogen industry is closely integrated with the steelmaking industry. Large iron and steel enterprises have supporting special air separation plants, oxygen is supplied to steel mills, and nitrogen is naturally supplied to synthetic ammonia enterprises. Because of the large scale of air separation companies, even inert gas separation can reduce the cost to an acceptable degree. Japanese iron and steel enterprises are small in scale, backward in technology, and do not have the advantage of industrial chain. There are also signs of industrial consolidation in Japan, but the overall operating costs are three or even five times that of China.

As for Japan's agricultural output with an average yield of just 200 catties per mu, because of the lack of land, there is no large-scale agricultural infrastructure, and there is a lack of cotton fields. The total amount of these supplies provided by China is even more than 5% of the total amount that the Japanese government is able to collect through taxes and other means. The Japanese government wants to produce these materials, and the direct cost of input is at least twice that of China, and the total amount of manpower required to produce and collect these materials is five to seven times that of China.

After the intelligence analyst analyzes it, the data is submitted. These data have caused a lot of shock in China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Gu Weijun is a guy who doesn't touch the spring water with his fingers, he left the bottom to go to school when he was a teenager, and later went abroad to study. After returning to China, he was always in the upper echelons, and after the fall of Beiyang, he was taken to Wuhan, and he did not know the changes in China at all. Although Gu Weijun, a civil servant in New China, knew that the merits of the People's Party were great, it was also an armed confrontation compared with foreign countries, and he did not know the specific changes of the people. The comparison between China and Japan gave Gu Weijun a very direct understanding of what was going on in China.

Japan, which was much more advanced than China 30 years ago, is now a backward country compared to China. In Chinese agriculture, there is even the concept of large agricultural machinery sowing and harvesting teams, which travel like migratory birds to and from various parts of China according to the season. Not only has industrial production been socialized, but even agricultural production has begun to be involved in the category of socialized large-scale production. The rural labor force has been liberated like never before. Cities are getting bigger and bigger, and residential complexes are being built one after another. And the labor force from the countryside is still pouring into the cities, filling the residential areas. During the busy farming season, the city is always much quieter. During the Chinese New Year, many new cities become empty cities. Yet, despite the massive loss of labor in rural China, agricultural production has been rising. Because the whole of agriculture has been fully fed by the industrial sector.

Gu Weijun knew that the state would abolish the agricultural tax under the condition of fully implementing unified purchasing and sales, and this plan had been formally voted and approved by the National People's Congress. After a transition period of several years, the agricultural tax, which had been in place for thousands of years, would come to an end in 1940. And there is even more amazing news, it is said that it is possible to introduce agricultural subsidies for agriculture. Not only do you not have to pay taxes for farming, but you can get extra money for farming. When Gu Weijun first heard this rumor, he thought that either Chen Ke was crazy, or he Gu Weijun had auditory hallucinations.

When the intelligence department talked about Japan, Japan's heavy agricultural taxes and countless wooden shanty towns made Gu Weijun feel a little relieved. Japan's situation is a more acceptable reality, and China's current situation is already beyond human imagination.

In this Japanese revolution, the action of the Politburo directly under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was in charge of the work with Japan, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was excluded. This made Gu Weijun feel a little dissatisfied, even if it was a troublesome situation, there was no reason to kick the Ministry of Foreign Affairs away, and the Party Central Committee would be directly responsible for these tasks. After thinking about it for a while, Gu Weijun finally decided to make an appointment with the Japanese minister to China.

Gu Weijun didn't directly persuade him, he just led the minister in China to take a walk around Henan, which is directly under the central government. Of course, I didn't go to the mountains on this lap, but drove around the plains.

Japan and China are not friendly countries, and the two sides have fought wars many times over the years. Therefore, the movement of the Japanese envoy to China was relatively restricted, and he personally drove for two days on the Huanghuai Plain in Henan, and after a journey of more than 1,000 kilometers, the Japanese envoy was frightened.

Needless to say, areas with abundant water sources, such as Zhoukou. The knife-like farmland is surrounded by rows of trees, and ditch irrigation is well developed. In areas where water is scarce, rows of trees surround neatly cut farmland where the Chinese have implemented sprinkler irrigation. A lot of plastic pipes were dragged in the fields, and sprinklers were inserted into them. The sprinkler sprays water evenly. The ground was thin and wet, and the green crop leaves were covered with crystal droplets, and the beauty was indescribable.

The most important feature is that there are basically no people in the farmland, and the vast field is divided into beautiful fields, and there are tall trees as neat as sentinels. The rural households are completely hidden in the woods, and a few old farmers with straw hats leisurely take care of the machinery and equipment, which has a beauty that makes the Japanese minister in China shudder.

The Japanese who can get into the position of minister to China are definitely not stupid, and looking at this current situation, the minister understands how big the gap between China and Japan is. Gu Weijun's seemingly friendly invitation to travel this time was a demonstration to the Japanese minister in China.

The competition between nations is likely to take the form of a full-scale and tragic war, or it may be the creation of two large, well-equipped and well-trained armies that face off at a tense standoff. is like "Han Feizi 61 Five Worms": "When Shun is in the past, there are seedlings who are not convinced, and Yu will cut them down." Shun said, "No." Virtue is not thick and martial arts, not Tao. 'It is a three-year practice, doing Qi dance, and there are seedlings and clothes. ”

The Japanese Army is no longer prepared to "perform a dance" with China, and the gap between the Chinese Army and the Air Force in terms of powerful equipment, firepower, technology, and tactics in the Taiwan Campaign has already made the Japanese Army despair. Not to mention attacking China, Japan has no idea of getting involved in North Korea right now. As long as China does not carry out the "dance" of Qi to the Japanese mainland, the Japanese Army will be Amitabha.

As for the current situation of the Japanese Navy, it is also Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is not as good as the year. China's steel production is already 50 times that of Japan. Even if China spends only two-fifties of the steel it spends on building warships, the tonnage of its new warships is nearly twice that of Japan. What's more, China can work quite hard when it comes to creating "dry relatives".

In the face of the huge disparity in strength between China and Japan, the Japanese envoy asked this and that with great interest at first, but by the afternoon of the next day he was depressed and silent. Japan's internal "Showa Restoration" actions have disturbed the situation in Japan, and if China takes this opportunity to invade Japan, the only thing that the Japanese minister to China can do is "the strongest protest."

Of course, Gu Weijun saw the attitude of the Japanese minister, and he smiled and said: "Your Excellency, the ones I invite you to visit this time are the essence areas of China, and it is not surprising that they look better." However, I wonder if you think that Japan will be a good thing if it can be as rich as China, and if the best of Japan can be as good as China. ”

The Japanese minister to China did not answer directly, and this was a diplomatic statement. It is both a threat and a gesture of goodwill. The Japanese envoy to China quickly understood that Gu Weijun probably meant to show his support for a certain Japanese force, and he was trying to persuade the Japanese minister to China to also support this force. As for who this force is, there is no need to guess. In Japan, the reputation of a non-national is loud enough. As a recognized friendly faction toward China and the initiator and leader of Japan's "Showa Restoration," Kita Ikki is naturally the object of China's support.

"If you really want Japan to be as good as yours, how are you going to realize your ideas?" The Japanese Minister to China asked.

"If a country is in a state of total chaos, it is doomed to be unable to build itself. In the same way, if a change is followed by a final restoration of the original state, then what is the value of the blood shed and the human life sacrificed? Gu Weijun said slowly, "Your Excellency must know my personal experience. When the Manchus fell, I didn't think it was anything, because the Manchus would definitely fall. But when the Beiyang fell, I felt that the sky had fallen in my heart, and the China I knew seemed to have fallen with the Beiyang. If someone had told me at that time that I could become a stronger, richer, and more civilized Chinese foreign minister in a dozen years, I would have thought that person was talking nonsense. ”

In fact, there is no need to say so clearly many things about diplomacy, and since Gu Weijun has said it so clearly, the Japanese minister to China also fully understands Gu Weijun's thoughts. This was to persuade the Japanese minister to defect to the "Showa Restoration" faction, and not to defect to the "Showa Restoration" faction alone, but to let the minister in China go back and incite as many people as possible to defect to the "Showa Restoration" faction.

The Japanese minister to China did not object to this suggestion, and as Gu Weijun said, the Japanese minister to China was well aware of Gu Weijun's legendary life experience. Being able to serve as foreign minister in two successive regimes, and Gu Weijun himself has not been accused of any "traitor", is in itself a very interesting thing.

Perhaps a very stubborn adherent to the hostile stance of China and Japan, the Japanese minister to China quickly calmed down, although he agreed with Gu Weijun's "past", but he also discovered a fact that Gu Weijun was very clever to hide. That is, Gu Weijun did not take the initiative to choose a new People's Party government. At the time of the fall of Beiyang, Gu Weijun only admitted the implementation of the failure and expressed his attitude towards the new government by surrendering. If Gu Weijun chose to publicly abandon the Beiyang government at that time and take the initiative to defect to the People's Party government. I don't think his reputation is as commendable as it is now.

At any time, a traitor who commits an act of rebellion for profit will be marked as an indelible traitor.

Gu Weijun quickly understood the silence of the Japanese minister to China, and he said with a smile: "If Your Excellency does not agree with the concept of the Showa Restoration and does not want Japan to follow the path of China, then you can completely ignore what I said. If you really agree with the ideas of the Showa Restoration and really want to do something for the Japanese people, I think you will naturally make your own choice. ”

The Tao is not the same, and this is the same for everyone. Gu Weijun himself only understood the concept of the "proletariat" proclaimed by the People's Party a few years ago. For example, he, Gu Weijun, is a proletarian. As a man who is determined to eat a diplomatic meal for the rest of his life. Gu Weijun neither wanted to own capital, nor did he think about monopolizing any power. Of course, from the perspective of personal interests, Gu Weijun also hopes that his labor will be recognized and compensated accordingly.

As a member of the "proletariat," Gu Weijun certainly hopes that China's current system can protect the interests of the proletariat. From the perspective of this class standpoint, Gu Weijun feels that whether it is the land division system that occupies land, or the power division system that occupies power, or the capitalist system that occupies capital, they are all enemies of the proletarian system.

Although Gu Weijun himself has a relationship with landlords, feudal powers, and capitalists, they are all related by blood or mentors. Although Gu Weijun himself awakened his class consciousness, he did not feel any hatred. However, Gu Weijun already understands very well that in the struggle between the existing system and the old system, Gu Weijun will sympathize with and even give help to both "class enemies and relatives and friends" in life because of family affection, but Gu Weijun will no longer stand on the position of class antagonists, and will not support the system that these people hope to maintain.

Gu Weijun sometimes feels very distressed by this cognition, after all, human beings are emotional animals, and human beings are creatures with physical bodies. Purely rational judgment often brings considerable pain to the sensibility, and the mental anguish caused by this sensibility often brings to the feeling of physical pain. Therefore, Gu Weijun can understand the silence of the Japanese minister in China very well.

There are not no "traitors" in the People's Party, Shang Yuan, Pu Guanshui, Yan Fu, and many others are real traitors, they have also gained status and prestige in the People's Party, and they still have huge power before they withdraw from the political arena and the stage of life. Yet none of these people betrayed their former allegiances in pursuit of these statuses, prestige, and power. The reason why they participated in the revolution was simply that they wanted to build a better China and that they were determined to fight for this revolutionary ideal. For someone like Gu Weijun, it is very difficult to make such a decision.

When Gu Weijun tried to persuade the Japanese minister to China, the Japanese emperor Hirohito also felt great pain. Kneeling in front of him was the chief of the Naval Command Department, King Fushimi Miyahiroko, who had not come to see the emperor's safety because he had accepted the advice of the Showa Restoration. Instead, he was arrested during a rebellion that broke out in the navy, and the rebels in the navy gave King Fushimi Miya Hirokoshi as a "gift" to the Showa Restoration faction in Tokyo, and then appeared in front of Hirohito through the "goodwill" of the Showa Restoration faction.

Marshal Fushimi Palace Hirokoshi is the eldest son of Prince Sadaai of Fushimi Palace, a general of the army, whose real name is Ai Xian. He succeeded to Huading Palace and changed his name to King Bogong of Huading Palace, but his younger brother Kunifang, who was scheduled to inherit the Fushimi Palace family, was weak and sick, so he returned to Fushimi Palace. Called King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong. In April 1886, at the age of 12, he entered the 16th phase of the Navy, but in September, he dropped out of school because he could not stand the care of the imperial family at the military academy and went to study at the Naval Academy in Flensburg, Germany.

Fushimi Palace is not gilded in Germany, but is actually educated. After finishing the Naval Academy, I also took a graduate class. After he came back, he worked at sea again, because he was not a close relative anyway, and the emperor was not rare, and of course others did not care (he couldn't control it anyway).

In the Battle of the Yellow Sea in the Russo-Japanese War, he was the leader of the third detachment of the commander of the Mikasa rear artillery, he was broken in three ribs, and after being wounded, he refused the treatment of the military doctor, and asked the military doctor to deal with the seriously wounded first. And so he became a hero. After that, he successively served as the deputy captain of the Naniwa and the Nisshin, and in 1907 he went to England to study, and after returning to Japan, he successively served as the captain of the Takachie, the captain of the Ibuki Osa, the commander of the Yokosu Yoshijin Morifu, the president of the Naval University, the commander of the Second Sentai Squadron, the commander of the Vice Admiral of the Second Fleet, and the military counselor. In 1922, at the age of 47, he became a naval admiral, and his promotion was unprecedented in the Imperial Japanese Navy. In 1932, he entered the Marshal's Mansion and became the first marshal father and son of the Japanese army (the second pair was Terauchi Masatake/Terauchi Shouichi father and son).

After Emperor Showa ascended the throne, he tried his best to control the army. In 1933, Fushimi Palace succeeded Naoma Taniguchi from the Treaty faction as the head of the Navy's Military Orders, and together with the Chief of Staff of the Army, Prince Kanin Miyazahito, he controlled the navy and the army on behalf of the emperor behind the scenes.

Before meeting King Hiroko Fushimiya, Hirohito had already met the Chief of Staff of the Army, Prince Kanin Miyazahito. The guy in charge of purging the army with the Command faction wept bitterly when he saw Hirohito. Although the head of the Naval Command Department, King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong, is now strong, but the humiliation brought by being captured by a group of young naval soldiers makes his face look like ashes, and there is a tendency to burst into tears.

The two princes who had taken control of the army on behalf of Hirohito had come to such an end, and Hirohito knew that his efforts to control the army had finally come to an end. Hirohito received a lot of outside news from King Hirokoshi of Fushimi Palace, and the army of the Command faction once clamored to attack Tokyo and save the emperor. Nearly two months have passed, and the army under the control of the control faction has remained motionless. It seems that they will not be counted on in the future. Now the navy is also on the side of the "Showa Restoration" faction. The Showa Restoration faction is still forcing Hirohito to meet with the Japanese clay legs who came to complain, and they continue to create all kinds of outrageous lies such as "the people's emperor".

The anger was real, but Hirohito felt a sense of panic as he found that the situation in Japan was getting out of his control and was running in the direction that the Showa Restoration faction had hoped.

The premonition of defeat hung over Hirohito's mind like a dark cloud.
