"Although Japan's industrial products are of high quality and inferior price compared with Omi ghost animals, we are close, the freight is low, and the cultural customs are closer, and the products can better cater to the preferences of the Chinese, and our industrial products are not uncompetitive." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And if we can gain the favor of the Chinese, it is very likely that Japanese goods will beat the West and occupy the largest proportion, and such a large piece of cake is enough to support Japan's development to a level close to that of Western powers, and its national strength can at least squeeze into the top five in the world. And with Japan's geographical advantage, with such national strength, it is basically invincible in Asia. Fukushima-kun, you see, the imperial kingdom does not need to start a war against China at all, it can follow the great powers to obtain the greatest benefits, let them contribute to us in vain, and Chinese for us to be cattle and horses, but we have to thank the imperial kingdom for ......", Katsu Haizhou felt dry after saying a long paragraph, and quickly picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

Fukushima Yasumasa couldn't help but be deeply impressed, but he still had a question, "It is true that strengthening the country is the first priority, but is the imperial country satisfied with economic interests?" Continuing to huddle on top of the tiny islands? And as long as China still exists, sooner or later there will be an awakening, and what should the imperial state do at that time? ”

"Without a strong industry as a foundation, you can't keep the land if you occupy it, and with a strong industry, the world can go anywhere, so why ******** only stare at the land on the mainland? Southeast Asia, Australia, and even India, are either sparsely populated and easy to immigrate, or the indigenous people are stupid and easy to rule, aren't they all better than China? And even if there is peace with China, there is still a chance to obtain China's land ......", Sheng Haizhou said with an unfathomable smile on his face, "The Qing State is already full of internal problems, and it is inevitable that it will collapse if it is constantly sucked by the imperial state and the Western powers. The eighteen provinces of the headquarters will definitely not give, but Manchuria is also very good, the land is fertile, rich in resources, and what is even more rare is that the population is not much, and you can vigorously immigrate after you get it, as long as you manage it well, it is not difficult to feed 100 million people, and with a population of more than 100 million people, plus the Asian alliance under its leadership, it is fully capable of competing with Britain and the United States for world hegemony, and at that time, the whole world is our Yamato nation! What does Fukushima-kun think? ”

"Your route has a small investment, but a big benefit, and what is even more rare is that the risk is small, but you need to hide your true thoughts for a long time, which is really not easy." , Fukushima Yasumasa was deeply impressed, and he also had an unprecedented respect for Katsu Kaizhou, "Even below, I always thought you were a pedantic pacifist before!" ”

"The navy is an offensive arm, how can it be peace-loving?" , Sheng Haizhou smiled a little, but suddenly thought that with the incredible and rapid revival of China, his plan had no hope of realizing it at all, and suddenly came from sadness, hiding his face and crying bitterly, "But this Datong Party that came out of nowhere saved China, and also made the old man's plan a joke, and the imperial kingdom can only be a dog for China in the future, woo!" ”

Fukushima Yasumasa also cried bitterly, hugging and crying with each other, but not because of joy, but because of pain and disappointment......

After all, Sheng Haizhou was very deep in the city, and he quickly broke free from the negative emotions, shook his head and said with a little self-deprecation, "But it's not too bad to be able to be a dog for the world hegemon, isn't it that Ito and their actions are going to be a dog for the United Kingdom?" What can be the difference between the two? What the old man is really worried about is that he can't even be a dog! Fukushima-kun, what are the benefits of the imperial kingdom turning to China? ”

"Maybe it's to avoid multi-front combat, right? The rest is really unexpected, Japan has barren land and scarce resources, and the only thing that is still abundant is the population, but China has no shortage of population ......," Fukushima replied with a worried face.

"It seems that the peace agreement must be signed as soon as possible, but we still know too little about the Datong Party, and if they don't keep their word and kill the donkey, it will be useless for us to apologize at that time. Or the conditions offered are too harsh for the country to accept, so what should we do? Although Sheng Haizhou had already determined what to do on this trip, when the matter came, he became empty-hearted, "First find an old friend to understand the situation, it should be of great help to the peace talks, but the leader of the Datong Party is about to meet us in the afternoon, and it is too late." ”

At this time, Fukushima Yasumasa suddenly said, "If I am not mistaken, the leader of the Datong Party should still pay more attention to the moral aspect, you look at the patterns on the back of the coin, they are plum orchids, chrysanthemums, bamboos and pines and cypresses, all of which have similar symbolic meanings, I don't think it is just a coincidence." In particular, this is the first set of currencies issued after the change of government in China, and the personal will of the founding leaders will have a certain influence on its design......"

"That's how it should be, it must be that!" , Sheng Haizhou's face was happy when he boarded, if the other party attaches importance to morality and reputation, he should not easily tear up the treaty, even if he is just a hypocrite, as long as he still has the heart to defend against people, it will definitely be easier to deal with than a real villain, but Sheng Haizhou immediately became worried again, because his Datong Party had just torn up the peace treaties between the Manchus and the foreign powers.

Fukushima Yasumasa still insisted on his own judgment, "The Manchu Qing Dynasty is a former dynasty, not to mention that those treaties were forced by the Great Powers to force the Manchu Qing to sign, and it is normal for the Datong Party not to recognize them, and they cannot be used as evidence." Besides, in a country as huge as China, if the country's leaders don't follow the rules, there will be problems within themselves, right? That's actually a good thing for us. ”

"I hope so." , Katsu Haizhou's mood improved slightly, but he noticed that Fukushima Yasumasa was still staring at those banknotes and coins to study, and couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked, "Fukushima-kun, what did you see again?" ”

Yasumasa Fukushima replied with some embarrassment, "The identities of the characters depicted on the obverses of these (banknotes and coins) should tell us a lot of information, but I don't know any of ......."

"Show me." , Shenghai Zhou, who claims to be a Chinese expert, was even more curious when he boarded, but when he took a look, he found that he didn't know the same either, so he could only say stupidly, "I can only be sure that they are all ancient Chinese, and they are all before the Qing Dynasty, but I can't recognize who they are, although a few look a little familiar, for the time being, I can only affirm that they are not emperors or famous ministers in history......"
