Chapter 519: The Year of the Storm (Part I)

What Kamiko Kawahara feared finally happened, and in just two months, more than 5 million of her compatriots lost their jobs and returned to China, which was even more urgent than she expected. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 InfoBut where are there so many vacancies in Japan right now? That's more than 5 million, and they don't even have farmland, and although Japan's urbanization rate is much higher than that of the same period in history, it is less than 30%, so I am afraid that it will be impossible to vacate all the existing jobs to accommodate so many people......

Although some breach of contract was paid at the time of dismissal, because they were all short-term contracts, the amount was limited, and if they could not find a job, they would soon be empty, and those Japanese who returned to Japan quickly fell into a desperate situation, and once they could no longer live, they could do anything......

If the traditional Japanese are unable to make a living, because of the cultural tradition of fearing the strong and bullying the weak since ancient times, I am afraid that at most a chaotic nationwide riot will evolve, and they would rather become bandits than rebel against the government, and the losses caused may not be small, but they will certainly not be able to overthrow the current Japanese government. However, most of the more than 5 million Japanese who returned to China have worked and lived in China for many years, and they have inevitably been affected by China's "princely generals, rather have a kind of?" The influence of the rebellious ideology, coupled with the fact that the Japanese Datong Party, which Li Hui had cultivated over the years, had unknowingly grown to tens of thousands of people, making this great uprising quickly evolve into a real revolution.

Speaking of which, it may be the proposal of Japan's Daido Party, led by Kita Kazuki, to "eliminate the parasite royal family, the Chinese people, and the chaebol, and turn Japan into a country of the people." The slogan seemed too radical and feared that it would "ruin Japan," so the organization did not go well at first, both in China and in Japan. However, it is precisely because of this that the Japanese Datong Party did not mix in many speculative elements in the early stage of the revolution, so that the early team, which was the core, always maintained a strong cohesion and combat effectiveness.

And more importantly, the radical ideas of the Japanese Datong Party were very much appreciated by Li Hui, and because of this, they were secretly supported by Momen......

It must be explained that the reason why Li Hui insisted that Japan become a republic was not because he really attached much importance to the ideology of his younger brother, but mainly because the Japanese royal family had actually become a symbol of Japan by virtue of the so-called "one line of eternity" and Shinto culture, and as long as the royal family was completely eradicated, then there would be problems with the national identity of the Japanese, or the Japanese people, and the cohesion would naturally be greatly reduced.

This has also invisibly cleared many obstacles to the merger of the two countries, saying that with the popularization of basic education in China, even if China and Japan merge in the future, there will not be the kind of "Japanese people with higher education level" that Li Hui originally feared: "The Japanese are more educated, so after the merger, with the advancement of industrialization, they will quickly occupy those middle and high-level positions in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China above the Chinese, similar to the American Jews." So in the future, if the Japanese voluntarily join, and the degree of sinicization is already high enough (at least most people can speak Chinese), he will no longer oppose and block as before.

In addition, after democratization, the internal friction of the government will be greatly increased, so it will be more reflective of the overall interests of the ruling class, as long as China continues to maintain the current practice of "bundling interests", there is no need to worry about the younger brother backlash, and if it is a system with greater influence of political leaders, there are many more possible variables, which is the main purpose of Li Hui's ideological output......

After gaining the support of China's Momen, the level of weaponry and logistical support of the revolutionary army organized by the Japanese Datong Party was even higher than that of the Japanese government army, and its backbone elements were all graduates of the Chinese military academy, and many of them even had many years of military experience, and they were not inferior to the Japanese marines in all aspects, and those policemen who only had light weapons were not opponents. As a result, it did not take long for the revolutionary situation to be in full swing, and countless people who were dissatisfied with the government gathered under the banner of the revolution, so that the revolutionary army grew to more than 200,000 within a month, which was more than the total strength of the Japanese government army.

What makes Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Kotoshi, who has not been in power for a long time, despair is that only a small part of the less than 100,000 marines can be dispatched to quell the turmoil.

This is not difficult to explain, after all, Japan is also a country with a population of tens of millions, just to ensure that the domestic situation is not chaotic, it needs almost 100,000 regular troops, and because of the restrictions of the "Sino-Japanese Treaty of Shimonoseki", Japan's marines have so many people in total, and those important cities must have some troops, right? The four major naval bases also have to leave some troops behind, right? Then Xiyuan Temple Gongwang was desperate to find that even if he racked his brains, he could only squeeze out 20,000 or 30,000 troops to suppress the revolution......

What the? You say the reserves? Hehe, also due to the restrictions of the Shimonoseki Treaty, Japan has no reserves in the real sense at all, and after mobilization and armament, it has to be trained, and it cannot be pulled out to fight in less than three months. And the advance of the revolutionary army is now approaching Tokyo, and everyone can see that the authorities are in a hurry.

However, due to the radical slogans of Japan's Datong Party, those generals who were still loyal to the royal family or were of Chinese origin still chose to resist stubbornly, but what they did not expect was that at this time, Fukushima Yasumasa, who was once at the helm of the navy, suddenly staged a coup d'état and arrested and imprisoned a large number of government dignitaries, including Saionji Konozo......

It turned out that as soon as the revolution broke out, Fukushima Yasumasa sent someone to get in touch with Kita Kazuki, and after the latter agreed to give up the liquidation of the Navy and the Special High School in order to preserve a little more vitality for Japan, and to retain the power and wealth of the top of the two, this thick-skinned spy leader did not hesitate to betray his original teammate......

Kita Ikki still kept his promise, but his brutal liquidation of the upper echelons of old Japan made Fukushima Yasumasa, who thought he had seen countless winds and waves, frightened, the royal family that was once a symbol of Japan, and within five generations, both men and women, young and old, were killed in one day, so that those who were trying to rescue the old and young were mourned one by one.

However, just physically eliminating the royal family is not enough to reassure Kita Ichiki and others, because there are too many people with royal blood in Japan, and if you go back up, most of the Japanese may be related to each other, and they can't be killed at all......
