The Japanese War Department finally had a little smile. Although the economic investment in North Korea is large, the benefits are far greater than imagined. The sale of the mining rights was very effective in making a lot of money, and even if the companies and private investors associated with the War Department did not necessarily have the money, the Ministry of Finance provided funds to the mine owners through bank loans. These funds were transferred directly to the War Department, which made considerable profits.

The families of officers who died fighting in Northeast China were the first to receive pensions, which was an effective way to alleviate discontent within the army. The military appropriation for the reconstruction of the two divisions has finally found a way out, not to mention that all aspects of the handling have received considerable handling costs. The whole situation is good, not a small good, but a big good. According to the statistics of the War Office, the annual shipment of ore to the Japanese mainland alone can make a huge profit, not to mention the appeasement function that these benefits provide to the various forces closely related to the War Department.

Even if he still hates the current Prime Minister Takahashi is Kiyo, the War Department has to truly admit that Takahashi is very financially capable and is not a sworn enemy of the War Department. What makes the current War Department dissatisfied is that the price of ore that Takahashi Qingqing gave to the War Department is too low. Moreover, after several years of operation, these mines will be returned to state management. But there is no way to do this, when the War Department is allowed to lead the mining in North Korea, this is already a condition proposed by Takahashi Shikiyo. Therefore, the idea of the War Department is that when the next cabinet election is held, if Takahashi does not extend the War Department's control over minerals, then find a way to remove Takahashi Shiqing. Of course, that's all for later.

The War Department is certainly not a good man and woman, and they can imagine the consequences of what they are doing in North Korea. In order to cope with the difficult situation in the future, Japan specially gathered the remnants of the Manchurian Railway to discuss the future situation.

The conference room is arranged in the style of a Japanese residence, with members of the Japanese War Department in black uniforms on the left and Mantetsu members in black kimonos on the right. The first to speak was a member of the Manchurian Railway, "In the latest decree, should we add a clause to punish the families of those who have rebelled against the party?" The eagerness of the Manchurian representatives proved that they were very enthusiastic about it.

The representatives of the War Department were well aware of the thoughts of the Manchurian deputies, and the so-called punishment of family members had nothing to do with the law. The real purpose of the discipline is the confiscation of property. When the War Department talked about the matter in a slightly mocking tone, the Manchurian Railway personnel said that the female families of the rebellious party could be fully utilized in Nanyang.

Takahashi was part of Kiyoshi's economic policy, not only to fully develop Korea, but also to expand Japanese investment in the South Seas. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Entente to give full play to the capabilities of Japan's shipbuilding industry and make full use of the resources of the South Seas was Takahashi Seikiyo's attempt to make up for Japan's losses in the Chinese market. Among Japan's major industries in the South Seas, fireworks venues run by the Japanese state are very profitable projects. If we can make full use of the families of the rebels in North Korea, we should be able to increase our profits.

The War Department was quite dissatisfied with the wishful thinking of the Manchurian Railway, and it would cost money to suppress the local resistance in Korea. Not only does it cost money, but there are also casualties among soldiers. After some haggling, the Manchurian Railway agreed to fund the formation of an armed force belonging to the Manchurian Railway, and the Manchurian Railway's military forces would participate in the battle when the Koreans were suppressed.

Disputes and even quarrels continued throughout the meeting, and the basis of the discussion between the War Department and the Manchurian Railway remained unchanged, centering on the core of "how to make full use" of North Korea's human and material resources, and the War Department and the Manchurian Railway argued endlessly about the cost-effectiveness ratio between the costs they would pay and the future benefits. Everyone wants to take the lion's share, and everyone wants to contribute less.

When the quarrel was so thick that his face was red and his neck was thick, Yoshiichi Tanaka, who participated in the meeting, suddenly burst out laughing. This unexpected move surprised everyone who participated in the meeting. Tanaka Yi laughed for a while, and suddenly said, "Gentlemen, why do I think it's the same as if we were holding a council here. ”

Hearing this, the members of the War Department and Mantie were stunned for a moment, and after a while, many people couldn't help but laugh together. Both the War Ministry and the Manchurian Railway were quite opposed to the parliamentary constitutional system, but this did not mean that there was no need for internal coordination. Each group is composed of different interest groups, and even if each interest group has a common goal, it still has different interests in the process of refinement. Unless it is a highly centralized and tightly divided political system, this kind of quarrel is unavoidable.

After Tanaka Yoshiichi put away his smile, his eyes swept coldly over the faces of these people in front of him. The predecessor of the War Department was a group of "reformists" from all walks of life during the Meiji Restoration, and in such a group, killing each other for interests was by no means as simple as dozens or hundreds of times. Choshu, Mossa, the founding of the country, the fall of the curtain, the respect for the king, and the rebellion, all kinds of different ideas are entangled. There have been hundreds of famous assassinations alone. Few of the leaders of the various factions died on the battlefield, but most of them were assassinated.

The apparent reasons for the various assassinations are complex, with different philosophies and mutual perceptions of each other's betrayal of the original ideals. However, the essence is extremely simple, and the interests of all parties in Japan cannot be effectively controlled and coordinated. Therefore, the War Office is extremely disgusted with party politics, believing that party politics allows all kinds of quarrels to persist and expand indefinitely. The only way for Japan to embark on prosperity is to completely destroy party politics and establish a political system with Japanese characteristics in which the lower levels must be unconditionally responsible to the higher levels, and those who are lower than those who are superior "repay the service with death."

After watching the dispute between the War Department and Mantetsu, Tanaka felt very disappointed in his heart. The relationship between the War Department and the Manchurian Railway was extremely close, and even so, it was still difficult to reconcile practical interests, and even had to adopt this almost "parliamentary discussion" model in order to make progress.

With a feeling of disappointment, Tanaka Yoshiichi had to comfort himself in his heart, "It's good that these people here won't kill each other."

"Tanaka-kun, there have been many merchants who have raised the matter of importing goods from China, and some smugglers have even made their purchases to Japan. I think we need to take care of that. The representative of the Manchurian Railway said, and without waiting for Yoshiichi Tanaka to answer, the representative of the Manchurian Railway continued: "Please let the Manchurian Railway take charge of trade with China." ”

Looking at the sincere gaze of the representative of the Mantetsu Railway, Tanaka Yoshiichi lost even the strength to laugh.

Jin Liuling was panting and trekking through the mountains of Korea, where there were Japanese checkpoints on all the main transportation routes, and after the summer harvest approached, the Japanese management in Korea became stricter and stricter. In the past few months, the communication line that Jin Liuling has tried his best to open up has been greatly damaged. This is not because the Japanese have cracked the organization of Korean fighters, but if we measure it by anti-Japanese ideology, there are few Koreans today who are not "Korean fighters". The lines of communication had to be supported by numerous mountain villages, and the Japanese carried out raids on many mountain villages in the mountains, and all the villages that were attacked were captured. The houses in these villages are not wasted, and the local immigrants are some Japanese. In this way, the Japanese side gradually Japanized the mountainous areas of northern Korea. This has caused countless problems in opening up lines of communication.

Jin Liuling could only choose to take the route further away from the main road, and the Japanese tentacles had not yet been able to reach those areas. Tired and sweating profusely, Jin Liuling sat down exhausted by a big mountain rock. took out a towel to wipe the sweat that was constantly oozing from his forehead and neck, and gasped for breath, Jin Liuling suddenly felt a sense of loss. He never knew that the revolution was such a difficult thing, and when he was in China, Jin Liuling heard the story of the People's Party that once started in the big water. Listening to the arduous struggle, Jin Liuling was really moved. However, when he personally implemented the revolution, Jin Liuling knew how different there was between what he said and what he personally practiced.

It takes a train from Wuhan thousands of miles to the border between China and North Korea in a few days, and it doesn't take much effort. It took nearly twice as long to walk from Pyongyang to the border between China and North Korea, and the Japanese did not cause too much trouble in the middle, and most of the time they trekked alone in the barren mountains and mountains. If it weren't for the fierce emotions in his heart, Jin Liuling knew that he would not be able to persevere.

The dry food in his pocket couldn't last long, after all, it was several times to go back and forth on this route, and Jin Liuling knew that half a day ahead, there would be a small cave. There were cans and other supplies brought in from the Chinese side, as well as beds made of twigs and straw mats, so that at least you could really rest when you got there.

Standing up with great difficulty, Jin Liuling continued to move towards the supply point. With canned food, which can be stored for a long time, transportation routes can exist independently of settlements such as villages. These supply points can even provide food for nearly 100 people after a little expansion, which can support the long-term operation of the detachment in the mountainous area. Walking in the mountains himself, Jin Liuling finally understood the difficulty of maintaining a march and battle of dozens of people, and even more initially understood what it means to be a power that only an industrial country has. Relying only on these supply points, Jin Liuling has been living in the mountains for more than a month.

When the sun set in the west, Jin Liuling finally arrived at the supply point with difficulty. However, there are already guests in the supply point. Kim Sung-il and Park Yoo-hee are already inside, along with two other North Korean aspirants. As soon as he saw these comrades, Jin Liuling was quite surprised. Especially Park Yoo-hee, everyone hasn't seen each other since they broke up.

However, Jin Liuling soon saw that something was wrong, because several North Korean aspirants were full of tears. Without waiting for Jin Liuling to ask, Park Youxi staggered to his feet, and with a crying voice, Park Youxi said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Liuling! There was an uprising in Seoul, but the Japanese army vigorously suppressed the uprising. There are too many people who have died, and the water of the Han River is red! ”

When Jin Liuling was stunned, Jin Sung-il also got up and said: "Brother Liuling, you are not in Pyongyang, many comrades can't help but launch an uprising. But some of our people rebelled, and the Japanese surrounded our headquarters first. A lot of people died, and I fought so hard to escape. ”

The Seoul Uprising can only be regarded as a shock to Kim Liuling, but the Pyongyang Uprising is a bolt from the blue. Because now the headquarters of North Korean aspirants in Pyongyang is Kim Liuling's house. The Japanese besieged the headquarters in Pyongyang, which means that Kim Liuling's family is finished.
