Four years have passed since Japan signed the Sino-Japanese Friendship Treaty with China in 1917, which symbolizes its surrender. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The traces of the war have been completely invisible, on the contrary, because of the war, the wooden structure of Tokyo was almost destroyed, and the Japanese took this opportunity to replan the city of Tokyo, and now Tokyo, although there are not many high-rise buildings, but the steel and concrete structure buildings have accounted for most of them, and the rest are brick houses, and pure wooden buildings are completely banned.

The Japanese took advantage of the post-war reconstruction and the first loan from China to stabilize the yen, and after that, the economy basically recovered, and now all the loans have been paid off, and 100 million taels of foreign exchange have been saved, and the economic situation is much better than before the war.

In the past, agriculture accounted for half of Japan's main source of finance, half of the light textile industry in the industry, and heavy industry did not exceed 30% at its best.

This is a relatively reasonable economy, with light industry, food processing industry as the main industry, and cement-based heavy chemical industry also beginning to develop in the past two years, accounting for half of the export value.

Now in Japan, there are about 1 million employees in the textile industry, about 100,000 employees in the machinery processing industry, 200,000 employees in the cement industry, and an annual output of 1 million tons.

It is estimated that when there is still money to be made, the industries controlled by the Japanese chaebol are not very willing to update their equipment.

This is the case not only in the cement industry, but also in most factories in Japan, which are mainly small and medium-sized, family-owned companies, and are very scattered, but they are extremely large and are slowly gaining strength. The only big industry they have established is shipbuilding, but unfortunately all of them have been relocated to China, so that China's shipbuilding capacity has risen to the third place in the world, and it has narrowed the gap with the world's second Britain, and within a year or two it will surpass Britain.

However, Japan should not be underestimated, because Japan's industrial employment population has reached 3 million, the urban population has exceeded 10 million, the urbanization rate has exceeded 20%, and it has entered the second stage of urbanization.

At the same time, Japan has a perfect system, the combination of light and heavy industries is reasonable, and the most important thing is that they have established a perfect education system, which is much stronger than China's, which is the accumulation of time, people have been doing it in a down-to-earth manner for more than 40 years, and China has only developed for a few years.

The level of compulsory education in Japan has reached more than 95%, and it can be said that the construction of the compulsory education system has almost been completed, and Japan also has a huge technical education system, a large number of technical colleges, so that the population with basic education is very easy to transform into industrial workers.

Japan's military strength was defeated, the navy was disbanded, and the navy was not allowed to be formed again, the army was limited to 100,000 people, but they have a military system of the younger generation, from elementary school to university, the army has a whole set of schools, with the help of this perfect military education system, although Japan only has 100,000 army, but more professional, almost 100,000 qualified officers, once the shackles are lifted, Japan has the ability to form an army of more than 2 million in a short time.

In addition, Japan's metal products processing industry, because of the supply of parts to large factories in China, so that they have a huge metal cutting and processing industry, can completely produce all kinds of light and heavy weapons, once the shackles are lifted, their industrial system can provide their army with more than 2 million weapons and ammunition.

The potential of a country with an overall strength surpassing that of Italy and a country with a population larger than that of France and the United Kingdom should not be underestimated.

Therefore, although it was crippled by China, Britain and the United States have always been courting Japan, and Yang Chao believes that at this time, Britain and the United States must have communicated with Japan.

However, the Japanese are very wise and have not made any irrational moves, this is a very familiar nation, from the post-war period to the present, they have always behaved obediently, their government consciously and voluntarily carried out pro-China propaganda, restricted all kinds of anti-China speech, and if there was an anti-China behavior, it would be suppressed as soon as possible, and would never cause the slightest trouble to China.

For the Chinese troops stationed in Japan, the Japanese Government not only paid for the military expenses, but also allocated additional funds for the construction of various welfare facilities, built squares and street lamps outside the barracks, and even built places for soldiers to release their passions, recruiting unemployed women from good families.

Things have been done to such an extent, even Yang Chao can't find a chance to find fault, the Chinese soldiers are simple, so the Tokyo garrison is not as troublesome as the US imperialists, the two have nothing to do with each other, and they have always been peaceful.

Obviously, the Japanese don't want to say no yet.

Hirohito's convoy sent Yang Chao directly to the gate of the Imperial Palace, and there were not many guards at the gate of the Imperial Palace, and there were more than a dozen guards in front of the three gates.

Yang Chao also brought hundreds of guards, but these people and the convoy were left at the door, and it was impossible for the Japanese to let them into the palace, and Yang Chao was not afraid that he would have an accident in the Japanese palace.

Prince Higashifushimi Miyashihito has been accompanying Yang Chao.

At the same time, he also vigorously explained the interests to Yang Chao, telling Emperor Yang Chao that he would receive Yang Chao in the Imperial Palace, how Yang Chao should be, and bow to the emperor first.

Yang Chao didn't take it to heart, but wondered if this Prince Higashifushimi Palace Yiren was also a royal family, so it was necessary to be so superstitious about the emperor like ordinary people?

The imperial palace of Japan is really different from the imperial palace of China, of course, it is not as magnificent as the Forbidden City, the imperial palace of Japan seems smaller, the stone walls are towering around, and there is a moat to guard, and it is the castle built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in the year, there are city walls outside, ancient trees inside, as well as ancient bridges, flowing water, the scenery is still good, unlike the Forbidden City monotonous and boring.

Fushimiya kept babbling until the car drove over an old bridge, and then he suddenly shut up.

Because he got out of the car first and opened the car door for Yang Chao.

Yang Chao walked out and was stunned, there was a big hall in front of him, the hall was not shocked, the strange thing was that the people under the eaves, Hirohito was wearing an ancient costume, where was he waiting with a mustache, and there were attendants next to him.

Isn't it who wants to meet in the imperial palace and bow to him first?

Apparently Hirohito was not obedient.

Yang Chao smiled and walked over.

The two were still five paces away, and Hirohito stood on the steps and bowed and bent over:

"Mr. Yang, it's been a hard work."

Yang Chao smiled: "Your Majesty the Emperor, long time no see!" ”

Yang Chao said and walked up the stairs, and soon arrived in front of Hirohito, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Hirohito, as for bowing or something, Yang Chao will not be a bird.

Next to the emperor, there was an old man, I don't know who it was, dressed in ancient clothes similar to the emperor's, with an expressionless face, and followed half a shoulder's distance behind him, never parallel to Hirohito, let alone more than him.

The four of them walked into the palace like this, and there were not many guards outside, but there were many guards in this palace, but they were all dressed strangely, and their weapons were also carrying katanas.

Hirohito took Yang Chao to a door, and the old man stepped forward to overtake Hirohito, but his steps were exceeded, but his body was shorter, and he had to be lower than the emperor.

A sliding door, when pushed open, is a small square house, with ancient paintings hanging on the walls, straw mats on the ground, and a small long table in the middle, which is very simple.

Hirohito took off his shoes and walked in, and Yang Chao also took off his shoes and walked in.

It is very comfortable to step on the ground, and the straw mat on it is very finely woven, and I heard that the ancient Japanese laid the mat must be a martial arts mat, that is, the mat of Hangzhou, so that it can be regarded as a superior person.

Hirohito nodded slightly, and the attendant closed the door with a very good eye.

Then I made a gesture of please.

Yang Chao nodded, sat down on the spot, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Hirohito knelt squarely across from him.

"Mr. Yang, you are here, and you are not welcome."

"Hahaha, Your Majesty the Emperor, he's polite."

"I don't know that Mr. Yang came from afar, but he can adapt to the Japanese climate."

"It's okay, it's all about the same, it's hotter than North Korea."

"Good work. I'm sorry for the trouble. ”

"Don't bother, let's get down to business, you brought me here, even a cup of tea, and my men told me to bow to the emperor first, not to be polite."

Hirohito bowed slightly: "I'm very sorry, the Japanese are a little stubborn." ”

Yang Chao smiled: "This is not stubbornness, this is persistence." ”

Yang Chao couldn't help but think of an article in later generations, saying that the Japanese brain is different from other ethnic groups, other ethnic groups have a clear division of labor between the left and right brains, and the Japanese are mainly left-brained, and all the information is mixed together through the left brain first, so the Japanese are more emotional, easy to deal with problems emotionally, they regard the emperor not as a system, but with sensibility to understand, this kind of nation is prone to personality cult, superstitious worship, and at the same time easy to hysteria.

So as soon as Hirohito became emperor, his uncle treated him with great respect and from the heart.

"Mr. Yang, I regret what happened in Nanyang."

Hirohito first mentioned the Nanyang matter.

"Thank you for your understanding, I wonder what your opinion is on this matter?"

Yang Chao asked like a knife in his words.

Hirohito nodded and said, "The contempt country has been favored by your country for a long time, and we should fully support your country." ”

Yang Chao smiled: "Thank you for your support. ”

The Japanese are still very sensible.

Hirohito added: "Although I have received great favors from your country, I still ask your country to support you in one matter. ”

Sure enough, there is no free lunch, and Japan's political stance will be rewarded.

Yang Chao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please speak up." ”

Hirohito said: "The country is poor and the textile market is small, so I sincerely ask your country to open up the textile market, and the country is grateful." ”

Hirohito made the offer directly. (To be continued.) )
