Chapter 244 Countermeasures
(At one o'clock in the evening, someone voted for us a monthly ticket.,Don't say anything, I'm moved in my heart.,Here, thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend zcf516scz.。 )
After the news of this kind was transmitted back to Japan, many people immediately could not sit still, and at this moment, a column of soldiers stood outside a private house in Tokyo, as if they were guarding against something.
In front of the soldiers were agitated people, who kept throwing stones into the houses with stones in their hands, cursing and saying something as they threw them back.
Originally, the Japanese government wanted to block the news from the people, and when the troops were sent before, the people were very opposed to sending troops.
But under the strong propaganda of the government, these people also believed that the army would bring victory, but all this was all in the light of the leak of the news.
Knowing the plight of the army at the front, the angry people took to the streets to oppose the war, and everyone knew that if the war expanded, many soldiers would be killed like the Russo-Japanese War before.
There have been large-scale casualties in this war, and these Japanese people do not want their relatives to go to the battlefield at all, so under the propaganda of foreign media, these people naturally want to oppose the government's continuation of the war.
The place where these people gathered at this moment was the residence of the Chief of Staff of the Army, Oyama Rock, who strongly advocated the attack, and in the house of Oyama Rock, Foreign Minister Hayashi Dong and Togo Heihachiro were also gathered at this moment.
Originally, these three people came to discuss how to survive such a predicament today, but what they didn't expect was that these people didn't know how they knew that Dongxiang Heihachiro and Lin Dong were here, so they all squeezed over and squeezed Dashanyan and others inside and couldn't come out.
Listening to the noisy sound outside, Dashan Yan's expression inside the house was also a little unhappy.
Anyone who is blocked at the door of their house and can't get out is a little unhappy.
Not to mention the news that the whole of Korea was uprising, and it was immediately seen that Shangwen's logistics supply line was cut off and he was facing the news of being completely annihilated by Wang Bin.
It can be said that July is simply the saddest month for Dashanyan, as if everything that is not going well is concentrated in this month.
In particular, the failure of the mainland policy to a certain extent dealt a certain blow to the Japanese government.
Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has generally been "unwilling to be in the realm of an island country", but now it is temporarily unable to compete with Western powers such as Britain, France, Germany, and Russia.
Therefore, they are ready to use a policy of foreign expansion based on the use of war to invade and annex China, Korea, and other neighboring continental countries.
Therefore, in essence, the Sino-Japanese War was not an isolated incident, but an inevitable product of Japan's militaristic path in modern times.
"Once the warship cannons are slightly enriched, they can open up Ezo and Ryukyu and make them join the Hajj; rebuke North Korea and make it pay tribute; Cut off the land of South Manchuria, collect Taiwan and the islands of Luzon, occupy the whole of China, and rule India. ”
To put it bluntly, this means that Japan is expanding by force into mainland countries such as China and Korea, and dreams of dominating Asia and conquering the whole world.
Its main content is to actively expand outward, especially to the mainland, to seize colonies, compete for commodity markets and raw material production areas, divide spheres of influence, and then dominate the world.
As for the specific content of the mainland's policy, it is the first step to annex Korea, Ryukyu and Taiwan.
The second step is to use Korea as a springboard to invade and occupy Northeast China, and then occupy all of China.
The third step was to use China as a base to advance north into Siberia and south into the Indochina Peninsula and the South Sea Islands, and constant aggression was always at the core of Japan's mainland policy.
However, at the very first step of Japan's mainland policy, North Korea had already begun to get out of control, and the blow it took was just the first step, which made the Japanese government somewhat unbearable.
Therefore, after various situations came together this time, Foreign Minister Hayashi Dong and Togo Heihachiro came to the mansion of Oyama Rock to solve the problem.
After getting to the point, Dashanyan and the others stopped paying attention to the noise outside and began to discuss solutions.
This time, Foreign Minister Lin Dong came in the hope that the military department would first focus on the insurrectionary movement in Korea, which is now out of the control of the Japanese government.
As the situation worsened, the Korean rebels began to expand their forces, and the current mainland policy can be said to be a joke.
However, the Japanese Government would never allow Korea to break away from its control, so the foreign minister proposed to settle the Korean issue first, and then resolve the issue of Tsumi Shobun.
After Foreign Minister Lin Dong's words fell on Dashanyan's ears, Dashanyan was a little unhappy, in Dashanyan's opinion, what his side needs most now is a soldier who can fight, not a so-called North Korea.
After North Korea is lost, it can be slowly regained, but after the soldiers who can fight are gone, it takes a long time to train.
Therefore, in Dashanyan's heart, he was inclined to rescue Lijian Shangwen first, and after helping Lijian Shangwen defeat Wang Bin, he could first obtain the ownership of Benxi's minerals from the Qing government.
Then he could have Rimi Naomun attack Korea, and then the mainland would send troops and Tachimi Naomun's army to fight the Korean rebels, so that the two sides would reintegrate Korea into the imperial system.
The plan proposed by Lin Dong was that he had to give up the army under Shangwen immediately, and once such a plan spread, the people outside were afraid that they would be even more angry, angry that their country would give up their army.
More importantly, he saw the special status of Shangwen in the army, a general who had been active in the army since the events of the Shogun Movement.
Although he was a general of the shogunate faction before, he is the oldest in the current army, and he is barely a senator without the status of a senator.
When Dashanyan put forward his ideas, Foreign Minister Lin Dong also found that his previous plan had many shortcomings, because he was too worried about the importance of mainland policy, so he forgot to consider the reaction of the people.
Once he really implemented his plan, he gave up the trapped Japanese army and was afraid that he would not be able to escape the fate of being spurned by the people in the end.
After deciding on the course of action, Oyama Iwa asked Togo Heihachiro on the side how long the current naval transport capacity could be maintained.
Heihachiro Togo also knows that this operation is related to the fortunes of the country, and there can be no problems, even if it means that there will be no problems on the side of the navy. (To be continued.) )
