Takahashi Shiqing's imposition of industrial standards by the People's Party did accurately point out the key points of the People's Party's industrial development, but this thing was too advanced. In 1915, when the scientific management of the Taylor system had just begun to appear in Europe and the United States, and the trade unions began to fight against the Taylor system, the U.S. House of Representatives formed a special investigative committee to investigate, and Taylor was forced to testify in court for 12 hours in four days. The testimony was filled with sharp questions and hostility from the workers towards Taylor. In academic circles, the Taylor system has also been criticized as a negative example of the interpersonal relationship school. People criticized Taylor's assumptions about homo economicus, criticized Taylor's manufacturing as a confrontation between workers and management, and criticized Taylor's separation of planning and executive functions.

As for the state's conscious and comprehensive enforcement of various standardized ISO certifications, the United States was also part of Roosevelt's "Roosevelt's New Deal" after the Great Depression came to power. As the chief designer of the entire industrial construction in the People's Party base area, Chen Ke can accept that the product level is not high, but he cannot accept the inferior production organization method.

As a Japanese economic expert, Takahashi Shikiyo's level of understanding is indeed not low. The Minister of Education did not want to participate in the assessment of the People's Party's industrial construction capacity, but asked bluntly, "Takahashi-kun, where did you get all this information?" ”

Takahashi was slightly stunned, and listened for a moment before replying: "Part of it was collected through the intelligence department, and some of it was the monstrous letters that were seized from Miyazaki." ”

Hearing the name Miyazaki, many of the people attending the meeting turned ugly. There were already naval officers who couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "This non-national! "Miyazaki used to have a little bit of a reputation as a socialist in Japan, but now he has a better reputation. As a Japanese, Miyazaki actually joined the Chinese People's Party and held public office in the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. In the Battle of Qingdao, the People's Party captured a large number of Japanese soldiers, and Miyazaki led a group of "Japanese traitors" who joined the People's Party to "brainwash" the prisoners of war.

Miyazaki did not ask the captured Japanese soldiers to join the People's Party to strike a blow against the motherland of Japan, but these "Japanese traitors" only vigorously publicized the injustice of Japan's war against China and demanded that the captured Japanese soldiers stand on the standpoint of the Japanese people and oppose participating in such an unjust war. During this period, there was also a "vicious" criticism of the Japanese chaebol. "Japanese compatriots, the Japanese chaebols drove you to the battlefield to die for them, but what did you get besides that meager salary and a full meal every day?"

Such vicious political attacks made a deep impression on the captured Japanese soldiers, and Miyazaki expounded on the theory of class struggle, propagating that "there is absolutely no common ground between the exploiting class and the exploited class, just as there is no common truth between wolves and sheep." ”

Although the captured officers and soldiers could not fully accept the class struggle, after their release and return to China, these soldiers clearly questioned the Qingdao Campaign, and the War Department had to suppress the anti-war tendencies in the army by severely punishing the captured officers at all levels of the Kyushu Division.

Naturally, the navy did not deal with the army, but it nevertheless expressed support for the forceful measures taken by the army. In the exchange of information between the two sides, Miyazaki's monstrous name, the "Japanese traitor", is also known to more people.

Hearing Takahashi Shikiyo mention that a lot of information was actually obtained through Miyazaki Monto's letters to Japan, the Minister of Education asked, "Who did Miyazaki write to?" ”

The person who can make Miyazaki write a letter is naturally a Japanese traitor, or at least an accomplice to the Japanese rape.

"This has been clarified. However, what Miyazaki wrote in the letter was more important. Takahashi said in a vague voice. Seeing that Takahashi was clear like this, Saionji Gongwang looked over his head slightly and looked at Yukio Ozaki, the big man of the Political Friends Association sitting next to him. Miyazaki wrote a letter to Inuyoyi, introducing some of the Chinese People's Party's programs and political and economic policies. In 1912, Inukai led the Constitutional Movement, advocating the overthrow of feudal lords and upholding constitutionalism. He and Tokyo Mayor Yukio Ozaki, who was sitting next to Saionji Gongwang, led 234 members of parliament to impeach Prime Minister Katsura Taro for violating the Constitution, disrupting the distinction between the palace and the government, abusing power for personal gain, and forming a private party...... They angrily denounced them for using the emperor as a shield and the holy decree as a bullet against their political opponents. As a result, Katsura Taro lost the will to fight and stepped down in disgrace. Inukai Takeshi and Ozaki Yukio are known as the gods of constitutionalism because of this victory. Since Inukai Yi is a political enemy of Katsura Taro and has a good relationship with the Political Friends Association, Saionji Gongwang naturally can't say anything at this time.

Since the public hope of Xiyuan Temple expressed his attitude with body language, the Minister of Education and others also stopped asking questions with interest.

The Admiralty Minister hurriedly started a round, "So do we now prepare for a war against China?" ”

"We can't afford to fight until the treasury is full." Takahashi replied quickly. He was able to take over the current situation precisely because the situation was extremely corrupt. Thanks to Takahashi Yoshikiyo's efforts, the Japanese economy began to improve on the east side of the war in Europe, and this was not the time for war at all, "We need to work with the British to support Yuan Shikai and defeat the People's Party." The British attitude was that they hoped that after defeating the People's Party, an Asian coalition would be formed, with the Beiyang Army coming out of the army and Japan providing naval support. Britain even agreed to give us the German islands in the Pacific after victory in the war, Japan. ”

"Oh!" Almost all the naval officers had a smile on their faces, and it was a great feat to be able to expand their territory, even on some small islands in the Pacific.

However, the Minister of Education is very good at pouring cold water, he asked: "If Yuan Shikai is defeated, how should we choose?" ”

For the Minister of Education, this is also a question that has to be raised, as the Kyushu Division, which is a first-class division, has been completely wiped out, and the Sendai Division, which is also a first-class division, has not made any bargains in the Longkou area, which is defended by the People's Party. The BJP, with such combat effectiveness, was not without the possibility of victory in the war. If Japan is fully committed to supporting Beiyang, but Beiyang has failed everyone's expectations, then how will Japan deal with itself? After paying such a big price, the result is only to achieve the prestige of the BJP, so what is the point of such an investment?

"I just think that the People's Party is our enemy, and the Japanese treasury is not enough to support a full-scale war against China. I know this to all of you. What we need to do now is to prolong the civil war in China as long as possible, and as long as the war in Europe ends, the Entente can intervene militarily in China, and then we in Japan will have a greater chance. Takahashi did not like war, but as an economist, Takahashi did not know how to choose the timing of the war as a Japanese side who was able to raise a huge amount of money in Europe for the Russo-Japanese War, and the Russian war fundraising failed completely.

Although the participants did not believe that Takahashi Shiqing's main battle will could be strong, Takahashi Shiqing's current statement could almost satisfy everyone, as long as Takahashi Shiqing did not oppose the war.

"Then let's discuss the issue of support for Yuan Shikai now." Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple took over the leadership of the meeting, "Yuan Shikai needs weapons and ammunition, with the support of the British, even if we can't trust Yuan Shikai, we still believe in the British for the time being." These weapons required the British to endorse Yuan Shikai. If the British can't do this, we can only help Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai must use real money to support us in the purchase of weapons. ”

There was a burst of laughter below, and the attitude of the public hope of Xiyuan Temple made everyone very satisfied, the People's Party made a lot of money from Japan, even in the special period of the war, if it could not get back the money from China, the people would naturally be psychologically unbalanced. More importantly, the result would be to give the Army faction a pretext that since the Political Friends Association and the Navy were working to improve Japan's economic situation, there was no reason for Katsura Taro's group to gain political benefits in the future.

"But on the question of the navy, since the British must ask us to send troops, you need to prepare to go to Europe." Saionji Gongwang is very proud of this, as the world hegemon Britain should also make it clear to Japan at the moment, this alone can already prove the strength of Japan, "Gentlemen, your hard work in exchange for the opportunity of the Great Japanese Empire to expand its territory, after all, the reputation of the monarchs has been recited by future generations, and please work hard." ”

The Admiralty replied loudly: "We will serve the country with three lives!" ”

Yukio Ozaki, the mayor of Tokyo, the head of the Political Friends Association, and the "god of constitutionalism", looked at this encouraging situation, but deep down he was not as passionate and generous as he seemed on the outside. At this time, he thought of an old friend of Inu Yangyi.

Before the Japanese traitor Miyazaki did not defect to the People's Party, he had a low opinion of Japanese politicians, but he unexpectedly had a good relationship with Inukai Yi. Therefore, Miyazaki wrote a letter to Inuyoyi, hoping to persuade Inukai to implement a socialist system in Japan. After all, it was Katsura Taro and others who killed Kotoku Akisui in the "Great Reverse Incident". Inukai still has a certain sympathy for Japanese socialists.

It's just that sympathy is not the same as support, and Inuyang Yi is naturally not a socialist, and even a political organization that upholds constitutionalism, such as the Political Friends Association, cannot support socialism. In other words, it is precisely because these people support constitutionalism that they are particularly opposed to Miyazaki's monstrous government, which aims to overthrow the current system. So Inukai Yi still took out Miyazaki's monstrous letter.

Yukio Ozaki considered that Miyazaki had an unusual confidence in the victory of the People's Party. Although Japan had nothing to do with China, and Saionji did not want to discuss the issue of the Chinese civil war in depth, the issue was ambiguous. But Ozaki Yuki's ambition felt a little uneasy.

Soon, Yukio Ozaki abandoned such an idea, after all, Japan was only a collaborator of the British principles in the Far East, and not the hegemon of the Far East. The real dominance remained in the hands of the British.

"What the hell do the British think?" Yukio Ozaki was intrigued.
