(61) The problem of Shigenobu Okuma
"Why, you can't hold on for only five minutes?"
Yang Shuoming looked at Huang Shengyun, who was sweating and doing rifle hanging brick aiming training, smiled slightly, and asked.
Huang Shengyun was not swayed by Yang Shuoming's words, he gritted his teeth and continued to insist without saying a word.
At this time, on the training ground, a group of young people were training under the scorching sun. Among these people, some are employees of "people and companies", some are apprentices in factories who have just started their posts, some are farmers who are farming, some are students in schools, and some girls in flowered clothes are also training with the recruits under the scorching sun.
"On the battlefield, your enemies will not give you time to rest because you are tired, let you rest enough before killing you, they prefer to pick your belly with a bayonet or cut off your head with a knife when you can't lift a gun! So if you want to survive, the quickest and most effective way is to knock his head open with your rifle while he's still far away! ”
Seeing her younger brother's thin and thin body holding the long and heavy rifle with some difficulty, Huang Yunzhi, who was standing in the distance, couldn't bear to look at it, she wanted to stop this hellish training several times, but the words Yang Shuoming said when training herself immediately rang in her ears, making her involuntarily stop.
"If you want to make yourself strong, you must first protect yourself!"
"Sweating more when training now means less bloodshed when fighting!"
"Relaxing yourself in training on weekdays is tantamount to murdering yourself!"
Hearing his brother-in-law's merciless reprimand, Huang Shengyun's tears involuntarily began to roll in his eyes, but he did not protest loudly, but gritted his teeth and insisted desperately.
He took the initiative to ask to participate in the military training of the militia group in order to prove to his parents and family that he was patriotic and enthusiastic.
Blinking away the tears in his eyes, Huang Shengyun continued to aim at the target in front of him with a rifle, his body was already very thin on weekdays, and it was a very difficult thing to use a heavy rifle to aim for so long, and the bricks hanging on the head of the gun made him feel that this was not training at all but punishment, at this time Huang Shengyun only felt that the rifle in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and his hands were becoming more and more disobedient.
Seeing Huang Shengyun's performance, a hint of relief flashed in Yang Shuoming's eyes, he did not continue to train this brother-in-law, but turned around and came to a high platform not far away, looking down on the entire training ground.
In order to be able to build a stronger armed force in a short period of time with limited financial resources to ensure local security, Yang Shuoming popularized the system of "all the people are soldiers" in the western Jiangxi region, and what is happening on the training ground now shows that the people here have a strong sense of active training, and not only the training effect is very good, but also the training quality is also very high.
When a person consciously acts to protect their own possessions, the safety and happiness of their families, the power that can erupt is amazing. And these people who are being trained on the training ground already have such an active awareness.
Thinking of the changes he has brought to the western region of Ganxi in just one year, his heart is full of a sense of accomplishment.
It's just that whenever he thinks of the journey he is about to start, he can't help but feel a little heavy on his shoulders.
If he wants to defeat the ferocious Japanese invaders, all he can rely on now is the people in front of him.
And also......
Yang Shuoming stepped off the high platform and came to Huang Yunzhi, who was looking at his half-brother in training with worried eyes.
"The training is over in a while, give Shengyun some water to drink." Yang Shuoming turned his head to look at Huang Shengyun and said to her, "He behaved very well today. ”
"Hmm." Huang Yunzhi nodded happily.
"When it's over, you can take him home, I still have some business." Yang Shuoming said.
"Okay, you'll be back soon." Huang Yunzhi looked at him and said.
Yang Shuoming nodded, turned around and got on his war horse, and galloped away with a few guards.
At this time, in a small warehouse, on a huge wooden table, there are huge steel balls like round sea urchins, the surface of the steel balls stretches out like sea urchin thorns, and some also have a circle of knife blades, an inspector tried to poke the blade with a wooden stick, with a squeak of motor running, the blade turned rapidly, and the wooden stick in the inspector's hand was cut in two. It may have been the power of the blade's rotation that startled him, and he involuntarily stumbled. Seeing that he was slightly embarrassed, several other inspectors laughed. ,
"When you encounter this thing, any kind of lightning protection net is for nothing." Shi Xuanhou watched the spinning blade stop little by little, and said, "I can't really sink all the Japanese warships." ”
"These mines can only be regarded as a temporary emergency, and they are a sneak attack weapon for a small country without a navy to deal with a naval power." Lin Yujing sighed and said, "It's not enough to always rely on these opportunistic things, and the development of a strong naval surface fleet is the king." ”
"Here we go again." Shi Xuanhou pursed his lips disdainfully, "It's right that you do what you do well first, as long as the country has a chance to recuperate, giant artillery and big ships will not be a problem." I'm not like you, I didn't take the garbage that the Japanese did. ”
"You even say that the boats made by the Japanese are garbage?" Lin Yuqing said, "The newly built 'King Kong' battlecruiser built by the Japanese is similar to my design, and now if we fight with the Japanese, this warship can destroy all the ships of our Chinese Navy." ”
"In front of Lao Tzu's 'assault battleships', the battlecruisers are all worthless garbage." Shi Xuanhou sneered and said, "What 'speed is defense', bullshit." ”
As usual, the two began to quarrel again, and at this moment, Yang Shuoming pushed open the door and walked in.
"I remember that the British seemed to be quite optimistic about the Japanese 'King Kong' and wanted to borrow it, but the Japanese were not willing to give it to it." Yang Shuoming said with a smile, "You say, if a fight breaks out, will the Japanese send this ship to our coast of China?" ”
"The Japanese have always looked down on us, so they shouldn't send such a big guy." Shi Xuanhou thought for a moment and said, "Most likely, send a few cruisers or old battleships over." ”
"Now there are no Japanese warships in the waters of Qingdao, there should be no such big ships." Lin Yuqing said, "It's just some cruisers and gunboats, but these ships, if we really fight, will be enough for us to be busy." ”
Yang Shuoming nodded, and his eyes immediately fell on the mines on the table.
"In accordance with your requirements, several experiments have been carried out, and it has been determined that it can meet the requirements of real combat." "Of course, we are all conducting experiments in the river, and it is best to try them in the sea." ”
"I'm afraid it's too late." Yang Shuoming sighed, looked at the calendar on the wall, and said a little depressed.
Conference Hall, Tokyo, Japan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Didn't I tell you not to leak the news?"
Japanese Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma looked at the letter of inquiry sent by the ministers of the United States, Britain, and France to Japan on the table, and asked Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato with some annoyance.
Just a few days ago, newspapers of various countries all published in full the full text of the "21 Articles" secretly put forward by Japan to China, and as a result, it caused an uproar in the world; under the pressure of public opinion and their own governments, the envoys of the United States, Britain, and France in Japan raised questions with the Japanese Government, and the Japanese Foreign Ministry, which was already weak-minded, did not dare to openly deny or admit all of them, and could only vaguely admit the existence of the contents of the 11 articles in Nos. 1 and 2 of the "21 Articles."
Even so, the Japanese government at this time had fallen into a rather awkward and passive situation.
"The news was deliberately leaked out by the Chinese." Takaaki Kato said in a hoarse voice, "They want to use this method to delay time and cause Western countries to interfere." ”
"But the information I got is that long before you made representations to the Chinese, the Chinese knew the details of the upcoming negotiations and leaked them." Okuma Shigenobu looked at Kato Takaaki and said, at this time his face was long, and those who were familiar with him knew that now he was only one step away from the outbreak, "How did they know such a secret?" ”
"It can't be!" Takaaki Kato immediately shouted.
"But it's really happened." Okuma Shigenobu sneered and said, "I'm really strange, how do the Chinese know things that even the old men don't know." ”
The "old men" mentioned by Shigenobu Okuma refer to the elders of Japanese politics. After the Okuma cabinet came to power, Kato deliberately broke the practice of circulating diplomatic documents to Japanese elders since 1898 in order to make a better use of his strength, and replaced it with a simple report after the fact. As this time, when the "21 Articles" were proposed to China, they were not consulted with the elders, and they did not even show the specific articles. In addition to not wanting the senators to hinder the cabinet's actions, the high degree of secrecy is also an important reason.
It is unbelievable that the inside story, which even the Japanese elders did not know, appeared in foreign newspapers, how could it not make Shigenobu Okuma feel angry?
"Perhaps...... It is the Chinese revolutionaries we support who have spies sent by the Chinese government......" Kato Takaaki was at a loss to give such an absurd-sounding answer.
"Those revolutionaries have always been more successful than they have failed." Shigenobu Okuma remembered the many leaders of the Chinese Revolutionary Party who had been exiled to Japan, and his eyes were full of contempt.
