Japan was keen to make a profit from providing labor to Europe, but it found itself powerless. Even if they are completely opposed to socialism, they fabricate all kinds of theoretical explanations or distort facts. It is impossible for Japan to deny the facts of its own volition. Economic operation requires the input of labor, and manpower is the most basic factor for human society to create wealth.

Japan's population of more than 54 million is less than one-sixth of the area controlled by the People's Party, compared to the more than 300 million people controlled by the People's Party. Japan, on the other hand, is less than one-tenth the size of the People's Party-controlled area. In order to be able to repay the debt, the population of the country has been squeezed to the maximum. If the Japanese people can skip food, the Japanese upper class does not care that the number of people reaches the same level as China.

Even with the current heavy demographic pressure, the Japanese cabinet gave up on the idea of providing human support to Europe after discussions. Every labor force is important to Japan, and with Japan's current crushing capacity, it is far more likely that Japanese labor will be able to stay at home than if it is sent out so that the upper echelons can make more money. Moreover, Japan still has North Korea to squeeze, and the War Department has put forward a demand for more landless people in Japan itself. These impoverished landless Japanese were sent to Korea to provide all kinds of military assistance in addition to farming. The overall benefits are higher.

After analysis, the Cabinet meeting unanimously agreed that "troops and labor cannot be sent overseas." ”

After accepting this fact with great reluctance, Japan could not help but turn the topic to China again. Takahashi Shiqing raised a question, "Why hasn't the People's Party killed Cai Yuanpei yet?" ”

This is an issue that has been discussed many times in the Japanese Cabinet, but the pro-party members of the Cabinet do not understand the operation model of the People's Party, which is the dominant party, and the members of the Cabinet who oppose party politics do not understand why the People's Party system should adopt the model of a political party. Therefore, the Japanese cabinet does not know why the People's Party has gone to great lengths in the matter of Cai Yuanpei, they did not care about Cai Yuanpei originally, it is entirely because the People's Party attaches importance to Cai Yuanpei that the Japanese side pays attention to this matter, hoping to find an opportunity to benefit themselves in this matter.

However, it is difficult for Japan to come up with a way to interpret the actions of the People's Party. As for the official statement of the People's Party, "executing murderers, propagating and promoting the legal system, punishing those who have done the wrong, and curing the sick and saving people," the Japanese cabinet does not believe it at all.

Takahashi is looking at everyone and I look at you, so he no longer wastes time, and he asked: "Have you come into contact with those Chinese who oppose the killing of Cai Yuanpei?" ”

This time, it was the turn of the War Department to speak, "The people we sent try to contact these people as much as possible, and these Chinese have the same attitude after contacting our personnel." They don't want to have anything to do with us in Japan. However, Duan Qirui put forward the idea of reaching an alliance with us. ”

The Cabinet was disappointed by this, and it was as if it had not been said. Duan Qirui definitely wants to get any support, but Japan can't fly, so it really can't cross the vast People's Party-controlled area to give Duan Qirui any help. Duan Qirui really wants Japan to intimidate the People's Party with military threats, which is precisely the last promise that Japan can give.

The Japanese Foreign Minister said: "We have received information that the Russian Provisional Government has launched an attack on the German-Austrian forces, suffering heavy casualties, and that internal turmoil in Russia continues. Can I prepare for this? ”

As soon as they heard the news, the Japanese cabinet was amazed, and if it could not reap the benefits from China, it would also be a very good choice to reap the benefits from Russia. Before the discussion could begin, Takahashi had already closed the discussion cleanly, "No intention of intervening in Russian affairs is allowed until there is completely definite information." ”

After the cabinet meeting, the prince of Saionji pulled Takahashi Shiqing and said privately: "Takahashi-kun, do you have an impression of Kita Yihui?" ”

Takahashi is Kiyoshi certainly has the impression that Kita Kazuki, Miyazaki and others were relatively famous figures even before the rise of the People's Party. As for the names of Hitoshi Kuroshima and Umegawa Ueyoshi, who are already in high positions in the People's Party as Japanese, as well as the hundreds of Japanese who defected to the People's Party, and the thousands of family members who followed them to China, the Japanese intelligence agencies have special personnel in charge of managing the materials of these people.

"What happened to Kita Ikki?" Takahashi asked.

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said with a little embarrassment: "Bei Yihui wrote me a letter and sent me his new work by the way. I heard that I was not the only one who gave it, although many people in the cabinet may not have received it, but Kita Yihui gave it away. What I can be sure of is that quite a few people in the War Department have taken Kita Kazuki's things. ”

At this moment, Takahashi was stunned.
