As an island nation, Japan has a reality that there is no way back, so it is easy for Japan's national policy to go to extremes. For those who can be bullied, they are beaten to death. For those who can't be provoked, they are naturally very tactful. Sino-Japanese relations are now quite bad, and China is a target that Japan really cannot defeat. Not only China is anti-Japanese, but Japan is also anti-China, and China itself has done very well in recent years, and ordinary people are living much better than in Japan. As a result, the number of Chinese in Japan has plummeted, especially in Tokyo, where the number of Japanese is less than 500.

Most of these 500 people were businessmen who sought wealth and danger. After the Great Kanto Earthquake, these Chinese merchants suffered. It is inevitable that shops will collapse or be burned, and it is inevitable that Japanese victims will loot Chinese shops on a large scale. Worse still, these victims do not know whether it is because of shame or because they are afraid that the Chinese will sue the looters. After the robbery, simply kill people.

When the Japanese army and police received orders to send the Chinese to concentration camps, they found that they could not find the Chinese in Tokyo. This incident caused the Japanese authorities to panic. The War Department originally wanted to send the Chinese to the concentration camp, let the Chinese obediently send rescue materials to Japan, and pick up the Chinese by boat. Now that the Chinese have been killed, and now that the Chinese have been killed, who will take them back after the relief material ship arrives? Can't you get some Japanese to fill the number?

Whether it is the Japanese government or the military department, I really feel quite aggrieved. Five hundred Chinese is not a very small number. However, this is a small number compared to the hundreds of thousands of people who died in the earthquake. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of injured Japanese, it is even smaller.

It is definitely not a large number compared to the number of people killed in the Kanto disaster area during and after the Great Kanto Earthquake. Tens of thousands of Koreans in Tokyo, Yokohama and other places have been slaughtered, which has led to protests from the Japanese chaebols. Most of the Koreans who came to work in Japan were cheap laborers hired by the chaebols, and tens of thousands of Koreans were killed, and the losses of the chaebols were not small.

Not only Koreans were killed in the disaster area, but there were also thousands of Japanese killed by the Japanese themselves. These are bastards who are obsessed trying to fish in troubled waters. The gold and silver jewels on the burned dead emitted a strong, pungent odor. Anyone found to have something of value that smells of this particular smell is to be executed on the spot.

Compared with the 500 Chinese, the Chinese account for only about one thousandth of the total hundreds of thousands of casualties. However, this is not at all any reason that can be used as an explanation for the powerful countries, let alone killing 500 people, if they want to fight, scolding each other is a reason for war. Now there is a quasi-war between China and Japan. It is entirely conceivable to use such a death as a reason for war.

At this time, the Japanese authorities will have no choice but to face the facts. First, it ordered that all Chinese in Japan be concentrated, and the military headquarters issued a strict order prohibiting any military killing of Chinese, and that the responsible persons would severely punish and never tolerate any situation in which the killing of Chinese was "concentrated."

Foreign Minister Nobuaki Makino felt very relieved when he heard that he had killed five hundred Chinese. Every time he mentioned the Chinese, Nobuaki Makino remembered Zhang Yu's face full of malicious mockery and his voice full of contempt, "Go find your British father." But after the relaxation, Nobuaki Makino also understood that this would be a big diplomatic event.

In fact, Makino Nobuaki felt that the Japanese government was also very aggrieved about this matter, and they did not specifically issue an order to kill the Chinese. The Japanese people acted spontaneously, but the government wanted to bear the blame. God knows what kind of entanglement the Chinese will have in this matter.

Chen Shijun, the Chinese minister to Japan, had just heard Nobuaki's self-justifying words, and he had already stood up, "What do you mean by that?" His young face was already a little distorted with anger.

"The Japanese government regrets this." Nobuaki Makino didn't expect this young minister to be so "out of shape".

Chen Shijun finally suppressed his anger and did not explode immediately. However, he squeezed out a sentence from between his clenched teeth, "That is, the Japanese people killed us Chinese." That's what you mean. ”

"Accidental injury! Accidental injury! Nobuaki Makino already understood that this matter would definitely not end easily, and he quickly explained, "More than 100,000 people have died in the disaster area, and people are dying every day. The accidental injury of the Chinese is a tragedy, this is a tragedy. The Japanese government has ordered the protection of Chinese nationals, and we do not want such a tragedy to happen. ”

Chen Shijun finally restrained himself and didn't let him fight against Makino Shinxian. He wanted to leave angrily, but as a diplomat, his consciousness finally prevailed, "First, we ask the Japanese side to search for survivors immediately, and second, we will evacuate the overseas Chinese now, hoping that the Japanese side can cooperate with our work!" ”

"It's ......, it's okay." Nobuaki Makino replied. Any explanation at this point is meaningless, and the worst-case scenario is nothing more than a war. In terms of war, China and Japan have long been gearing up with each other.

The young Chinese envoy to Japan made a deep impression on Nobuaki Makino, who did not ask for explanations or seek responsibility, and all his actions revolved around the evacuation of overseas Chinese, and it was a comprehensive evacuation. As if the thing with those who died had never happened.

This is a very rational approach, and Makino feels the terrible extension behind it. The Chinese minister is now working for the Chinese expatriates living in Japan, and of course, once the Chinese who are still alive are brought back to China, what will happen later will definitely be actions against the Chinese dead. Nobuaki Makino wasn't scared of that. As an old diplomat, he knew very well that such things could not be avoided. Since the outcome is destined to be a tragedy, it may be a consolation that the road to tragedy can reduce some boring troubles.

The news flew straight back to Zhengzhou, and immediately triggered a fierce reaction in the central government. Since the rise of the People's Party, there has been no massacre of Chinese by foreigners for more than a decade. Propaganda Minister Zhang Yu's eyes were as sharp as steel needles, "Who do you want to characterize the enemy as?!" Is it the Japanese government or the Japanese mob? ”

"What's the difference?" You asked him.

"There's a big difference." Xu replied, "If the enemy is designated as the Japanese government, then we can declare war on Japan." If the enemy is designated as a Japanese mob, then we can ask the Japanese government to deal with the Japanese mob on this matter. And this time there is no need to give Japan any assistance. ”

"So who can cooperate with the Japanese government and the Japanese people?" You Yu continued to ask.

"The Japanese government, of course." Xu Dian replied.

The Politburo Standing Committee members are all guys who dare to tell the truth, Zhang Yu is one type, and Xu Dian is another. Dare to directly despise the foreign masses, and is not afraid to associate people with melons and fields, Xu Dian is a typical example.

"Let's get the people back first." Shang Yuan replied. The order of actual implementation is naturally to give priority to the living. Leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, the loss of money and property is already extremely difficult to recover, and if you lose your life, you won't even have a chance to turn over.

"Are we going to war?" Qi Huishen asked.

"Do you think it's not a quasi-war stage?" Chen Ke's answer was very simple, "Strengthen the personnel investment in Taiwan and North Korea." In Taiwan, in particular, there is a very high chance that the fighters will not return. ”

The judgment of the Japanese top leadership on China is not wrong, and the People's Party has no intention of peaceful coexistence with Japan at all. In recent years, the cooperation with the Germans has gradually developed, and the impact of the economic crisis has led to more and more technical exchanges between China and Europe. Several shipbuilding enterprises in the country are also included in the industrial system. If you want to liberate Taiwan, you must have a ship. The People's Party is not Moses, it cannot be separated from the sea of the Taiwan Strait, and if it wants to send personnel to Taiwan and provide continuous weapons support, it must have a ship, and it must be a ship that can evade the blockade of the Japanese navy. It was not until 22 years that the People's Navy had ships with barely enough speed and range.

"After the earthquake in Japan, we will definitely increase the plundering of Korea and Taiwan. Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and this opportunity should not be missed. Chen Ke didn't seem to have heard the news of the earthquake in Japan at all, and he was thinking about the strategic opportunity period.

"Then when will Japan publicize the issue of killing Chinese in Japan?" Zhang Yu asked.

"When I evacuated overseas Chinese this time, I brought some aid with me. After the evacuation of overseas Chinese, the matter began to be publicized both domestically and internationally. Chen Ke replied very simply. In Chen Ke's time and space, the level of TG's propaganda department is really speechless, which does not mean that China cannot assist foreign countries, as a big country, it must have the bearing of a great power. The problem is that Chairman Mao's "courteous and courteous" style has really not been shown in China's propaganda campaign.

We must seek truth from facts, and we can't make any good people good and bad people bad and muddy methods. Aiding Indonesia is the spirit of Chinese humanism, but of course, the massacre of Chinese in Indonesia must also be fully exposed. Face is earned by yourself, not by others. No one in the international community owes anything to anyone. Thanks to Chen Ke's experience, he was able to deal with the earthquake in Japan more calmly.

"Will the Japanese comrades in the party have any ideas?" Qi Hui, head of the organization department, asked deeply that once this kind of propaganda is launched, anti-Japanese sentiment in China will naturally rise sharply. The emotions of their own comrades cannot but be taken care of.

"Tell the truth and do practical things. It is impossible for us to let everyone sing praises to us, let alone let others bow down to us. All we can do is tell the truth and do the real thing. If some people can't accept this fact, then let them be. So we ourselves have to tell the truth. Don't deliberately smear the Japanese government, and there's no need to speak for the Japanese people. Covering your ears and stealing the bell is definitely unacceptable. Chen Ke replied.

"But the masses won't be so rational." Qi Huishen was still a little worried about the time.

Zhang Yu immediately took over, "We have a legal system, it doesn't matter what the masses think, and it is impossible for us to tell the masses what to think." But we can always regulate people's actions through the rule of law. If you are afraid that the masses will act in a disorderly manner, then you might as well think more about how to maintain law and order. ”

"There is a cost to maintaining law and order, and the masses are shocking the Japanese, and we will dispatch police forces, including follow-up work, and the cost will definitely not be small." Qi Huishen replied.

Hearing this, Xu Dian also supported Zhang Yulai, "Building a country with a legal system will take a long time, many events, and huge costs. It's the same as going up a step, which section of a hundred steps can not be climbed? These costs should be paid. It is absolutely impossible to rely on positive education alone. ”

Qi Hui took a deep look at Xu Dian, and he felt that Xu Dian was becoming more and more active. With the completion of the various systems of the new China, the Standing Committee member of the Politburo Standing Committee, who is in charge of the judiciary, has become much more influential and has a much stronger attitude towards policies than before. And in the early years, Xu Dian and Zhang Yu were a little incompatible, but now the two of them have a tendency to fall in love.

"If you tell the truth and do practical things, we will bear the consequences. For fear of things, I tried to get something good from the beginning, which was bureaucratic style. Chen Ke finally made the final decision.

"And who to send?" Qi Huishen didn't bother with other questions anymore, he jumped to the next question.

"Sa Zhenbing is obviously not suitable, so let Qin Shou, the chief political commissar of the Navy, lead the team." Chen Ke nodded.

Qin Shou was still in Shanghai when he got the news, and he was waiting for the launch of the navy's newest destroyer with Sa Zhenbing, commander-in-chief of the People's Navy. In 1921, the top brass of the People's Party held a seminar on the future development of the navy. At the meeting, Chen Ke, chairman of the Central Military Commission, determined the direction of the future development of the navy in an extremely high-pressure manner, and the new navy with aircraft carrier battle groups as the mainstay.

The current leaders of the People's Party Navy, Yan Fu, Sa Zhenbing and Qin Shou, originally graduated from the Southern Naval Academy, and the personnel of the New China Navy except for these three were basically from the People's Naval Academy. Hearing that Chen Ke, a great layman, actually came up with a completely different set of ideas for future ocean-going operations, none of the three dared to oppose it with all their might.

At this stage, the main direction of the People's Party Navy is to fly and dive fast, but the battleship direction has been eliminated in Chen Ke's naval development program. Only heavy cruisers of more than 10,000 tons were used as artillery units. The Air Force of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was developed very early, and its aircraft were also tested on ships. But the new aircraft carriers of the all-deck aircraft carrier, which Chen Ke proposed on the side command island, completely abandoned the artillery.

Qin Shou was a member of the People's Party's early Beijing Party group and followed Chen Ke south. Except for Qin Shou, the naval commanders all resolutely supported Chen Ke without exception. As long as the ships are made of steel and the tonnage is large enough, these naval personnel will not hesitate to realize any future naval model that Chen Ke describes. This made the three unable to even raise objections.

Since the direction of the aircraft carrier cannot be argued, then it is impossible for them to raise objections to the combat function of heavy cruisers, destroyers, frigates.

Destroyers are medium-sized ships equipped with a variety of weapons such as air defense, anti-submarine, and sea protection. It can not only serve as an offensive assault mission in the naval ship formation, but also undertake the air defense and anti-submarine escort tasks of the combat formation, and can also serve as a support force in landing and anti-landing operations.

A frigate is a light surface combat ship with anti-submarine torpedoes and naval guns as its main weapons. It is mainly used for escorting ship formations, as well as reconnaissance, vigilance, patrolling, minelaying and supporting landing.

The United States has reached an agreement with China to sell two of America's remaining treaty battleships to China. The main body of the ship has been built, and it will be towed to China for mid-to-late outfitting.

These two battleships are China's warships that can really confront the battleships of other countries in the world without falling behind, and the United States has managed to resist British pressure before selling them to China. Defense Minister Yan Fu, Navy Commander-in-Chief Sa Zhenbing, and Navy Chief Political Commissar Qin Shou all knew that they would definitely not be able to screw Chen Ke, but they hoped to complete the later work of the two warships as soon as possible and prove to Chen Ke with practical results that the battleships had not withdrawn from the military arena at all.

The Minister of Defense is mainly in charge of seals, because the Ministry of Defense now has only a minister, and there is not even a single office staff. Similarly, as long as there is an external mission, Sa Zhenbing and Qin Shou can become vice ministers of defense at any time, or even ministers of defense. Therefore, Yan Fu simply lived in the dormitory of the Shanghai shipyard and supervised the shipbuilding work every day.

Sa Zhenbing and Qin Shou had the task of managing naval operations, but they would bring their fleets to Shanghai whenever they had the opportunity. One is to use the fleet to deter foreign countries, and the other is that they are also haunted by the two behemoths in the dock.

After receiving the telegram ordering the People's Navy to evacuate overseas Chinese in Japan, Sa Zhenbing's face was ugly. At that time, the Beiyang Navy Division also visited Japan, and also fought in the Japanese Flower Street. More than 30 years have passed since this incident, and Sa Zhenbing can still clearly remember the situation at that time.

"What kind of ships did the Military Commission let you send over?" Sa Zhenbing asked.

"One destroyer, two frigates, and a 10,000-ton ship. It was loaded with supplies for Japan. The command states that we are to build it ourselves. Qin Shou replied.

"If only these two battleships could be sent." Sa Zhenbing couldn't help but say.

Looking at the looks of his old comrades-in-arms and classmates, Yan Fu, who was already 69 years old, couldn't help but pat Sa Zhenbing on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we will definitely live to see the day when the Navy takes revenge!" ”
