From the perspective of division, Ryukyu was divided into Taiwan Province and the city of Ryukyu was established, and its military presence was also subordinate to the Taiwan Military Region. On the evening of the day of the landing, Li Jingxi, who was in charge of the administrative work in the Ryukyus, had just found a temporary office and settled all the administrative staff, believing that they would be able to carry out their work the next day.

"Report to Mayor Li, there is a local outside the door who wants to see our person in charge." Outside Li Jingxi's bedroom, a soldier knocked on the door and reported. This temporary site belonged to the administrative building of the Japanese occupation period, and was naturally taken over by Li Jingxi.

"Interesting, I found it so quickly!" Li Jingxi said with a smile and motioned for the soldier to bring him up, during the period of military management, the security of the administrative department was temporarily taken care of by the army, so there was a platoon of soldiers guarding outside the administrative building.

Three minutes later, Chadu was brought up by the soldier, and Li Jingxi sat in the reception room, looking at Chadu who slowly walked in with interest. This person has a fair face, looks like a middle-aged handsome guy, and can see that he is quite urban, and he is not in a hurry. Li Jingxi knew that receiving the Ryukyus would be blocked by the local forces, and he also knew who the local forces were, who the leader was, and how armed he was, but he didn't expect that this leader would have the courage to find him directly!

Chadu, who is dressed as a Han person, speaks Chinese, and has the face of an Oriental person, if he hadn't known it for a long time, Li Jingxi would also be a pure-bred Central Plains person.

After saluting respectfully, Chadu sat in his own position and said with a smile: "Respected **** Lord Shangguo, I am a merchant in the Ryukyu Kingdom, named Chadu, who has been in business for many years and has a lot of industries in Ryukyu, Taiwan, and Nanyang. The villain admires the **** civilization, and today I have to see the Lord of the Kingdom, which is really magnificent and worthy of the name! ”

Li Jingxi will not be flattered by a few words, and he will not know the east, west, north and south. According to the dumb riddles and Rao Taiji in the officialdom, he is more proficient! Unexpectedly, this wealthy businessman Chadu not only learned the culture of the Central Plains, but also learned the set of officialdom in a good way. Looking at this person's respectful appearance and sincere eyes, I don't know that I really came to admire the demeanor of the kingdom!

When meeting an opponent in chess, Li Jingxi was of course happy to accompany him, and immediately responded with a laugh: "Mr. Chadu is polite." The Ryukyu Kingdom has been a subject country of China for many years, and has been given a national name since the beginning of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the two countries also had many contacts during the Ming Dynasty. Hahahaha! ”

Looking at the other party's smug appearance, Chadu couldn't wait to go up and tear his mouth open, just as hateful and greedy as the Japanese!

"Has Mr. Chadu come to consult with me about business? I am Lee Ching-hee, the mayor of Ryukyu City, who is trusted by Huaguo. Although there is anything that can be said, Huaguo encourages business, and those who can help are ready to help! Li Jingxi continued to circle around.

Mayor Li is open-minded and knowledgeable, and Chadu is deeply grateful, but Chadu is not here for business. Tsakdo went through the reign of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the Japanese Rule, and now the Huaji period, accumulating thousands of family fortunes. But there has always been a thorn in my heart that cannot be pulled out. I hope Mayor Li can solve his doubts. ”

Li Jingxi opened the tea foam, and the main topic of his heart came. Squinting at Chadu, an answer came out of his throat: "Say! ”

"Hehe, do you know that no matter how much wealth you have, if you don't have the power to protect it, you will eventually be taken away by others? Dynasties and dynasties. Merchants were the lowest social class, and even to the level of Lü Buwei, they could not escape the destruction of the entire clan. What Chadu wants to see most is that a businessman can be protected by a tough state, and he will no longer be inferior! ”

"Mr. Chadu can rest assured of this. Huaguo is different from the previous feudal court, compared with your business experience, you can see that the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, those old men in Beijing can't see it, but you and I understand very well, if you want to stand firm, you have to throw away the previous set. At this point, Huaguo is doing well, businessmen even have the right to participate in politics, and further speaking, Huaguo's ruling party, Zhenguo Party, is a party of businessmen! ”

"It's a political party in China, but it's not a political party in the Ryukyus!" Chadu couldn't bear to go around in circles with Li Jingxi, and directly stated his purpose in a slightly higher voice.

"Oh, what do you mean by that, Mr. Chado?"

"Mayor Li doesn't have to hide it, my Ryukyu is a sovereign country, and you also said that in history, the Ryukyu Kingdom was canonized and recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty, and as a subject country, Ryukyu paid tribute to the Central Plains many times, which is clearly recorded in the annals of history! Later, the murderous Japanese invaded the Ryukyus and massacred the Ryukyu people, but at that time, the Central Plains Dynasty not only did not send troops to conquer Japan and fulfill the responsibility of a host country, but turned a blind eye. Can Mayor Li give an explanation on this? Nowadays, China does not ask the will of the Ryukyu people at all, wishful thinking to include the Ryukyu Kingdom within the territory of China, and sends a large army to suppress the territory and oppress the innocent Ryukyu people by force. I heard that Huaxia repays grievances with virtue and governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, why did he do this? Chadu's almost angry attitude did not anger Li Jingxi, both of them were smart people and would not understand each other's thoughts in a literal sense. Chadu's words are just a test of Li Jingxi's attitude, to see where the bottom line of Huaguo's tolerance is, of course, there is a risk, it is difficult to say whether the other party will be annoyed and angry after hearing these words, and will correct himself on the spot.

"Why should Mr. Chadu deceive himself, you can do business in Taiwan and Nanyang, is it possible to rely on enthusiasm alone? Businessmen should be the most practical, and for the sake of profit, merchants can sell weapons to enemy countries. If Mr. Chadu can't see through the face of the world now, how can he make his business bigger? ”

Since he tore his face, Li Jingxi didn't mind instilling in Chadu what he had learned from the Guangzhou Institute of Political Science: "The law of big fish eating small fish is applicable not only in business, but also between countries." In the narrow territory of the Far East, there could not be two great powers, and this was the fundamental reason for the war between China and Japan. And the small countries that survive in the gap between the big powers will have to bear the crisis brought about by the confrontation between the big powers, which is the fate of the small countries and cannot be changed. Would Mr. Chadu would like to see the people of Ryukyu suffer from the war between the great powers, or would he like to see the Ryukyus become part of the Chinese territory and enjoy the security and benefits brought by the great powers? You must know that the strategic position of the Ryukyu Islands is extremely important, and neither China nor any country with interests in the Far East will allow the Ryukyu to become independent and become an obstacle to the confrontation between the great powers. ”

At this time, Chadu gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "Shameless!" The Han people can fight for the fate of their country and nation, and the Ryukyuan people can also have this right, the Japanese have no right to deprive them, the Han people have no right to deprive them, and the foreigners have no right to deprive them! ”

"Hehe, calm down, Mr. Chadu. On behalf of the President of China, I can guarantee that the Ryukyus will become a paradise without war, without massacres, without gunpowder, and with the support of China, Mr. Chado's business can grow bigger and bigger, even to the point that Mr. Chadu cannot imagine, and this future is not better than the so-called independence of the Ryukyus and the struggle to survive among the great powers? Li Jingxi felt that he was becoming more and more shameless, from threats to temptations, a set of crooked theories was extremely smooth, but no matter how he quibbled, annexing a country was a fact after all, which was contrary to the cultural and educational values he had received since childhood, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"It's useless to say more, Mayor Lee, the people of the Ryukyus will choose the future of their country and say goodbye!" Although he knew that Chadu would bring some trouble to himself after leaving, Li Jingxi still did not stop it. First, because he had prepared in advance, and secondly, because Li Jingxi's heart was still touched, looking at Chadu with a righteous face, it seemed that he saw his colleagues who were fighting for the country in China were all for their motherland!

The rough handling is certainly painful, but the follow-up troubles are also a headache, and in the Ryukyus, the side effects appear especially quickly. Upon their return, Tsakdu immediately organized an armed riot and distributed weapons, and according to the plan, they were to be distributed in small groups in the mountains and forests outside the city of Ryukyu in Okinawa, as well as other important islands in the archipelago. Tsagadu was ready to replicate the tactics of the Burmese Free Army here, dragging the Chinese army into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare. Nearly 1,000 experienced jungle warriors and 2,000 temporarily recruited militiamen would form the main force of the Ryukyu Free Army, and Chado's merchant fleet would supply these soldiers, and he would stay in the jungle with the warriors until the day of independence.

However, at the same time as the arrangement of Chadu, the military of Ryukyu City was also arranging combat missions, and they had detailed information on the Ryukyu Independent Army, including equipment, numbers, establishment, stationing locations, tactical use, and so on. What Chadu didn't expect was that his jungle warriors were infiltrated by the Yong Jimi people in Burma, and as a teacher, it was not too easy to obtain information.

"The most dangerous is the 1,000 jungle warriors, the Ryukyu Islands have many islands with a vast area, such as Okinawa Island, Iwo Jima, etc., the natural conditions on the islands are harsh, the terrain is complex, which is not conducive to our army's combat, once they are allowed to escape into the jungle, it is a huge challenge for the follow-up operations, so they must be exterminated before they enter the mountains and forests!" Lu Ye, commander of the Third Division, said.

A combat staff officer muttered: "Artillery fights mosquitoes, the guerrilla warfare of the Ryukyu Independent Army cannot be fought at all, from a tactical point of view, there are many islands in the Ryukyu Islands, and the islands cannot be self-sufficient, and the weapons, equipment and ammunition needed for the battle need to be transported from the outside world, as long as the connection between the islands is cut off, those guerrillas can be trapped." Our army has a strong naval superiority and even needs only small patrol boats to complete combat missions! (To be continued.) )
