The Chinese confiscated all the property of Japanese expatriates and businessmen, and Japan also confiscated the property of all Chinese expatriates and businessmen, and then the economic ties between the two countries were almost completely severed, and no matter how the Japanese dumped, no one dared to buy their goods, because the consequences of being found were too serious.

The outside world quoted Yang Chao's call as a symbol and called this incident "the great severance of Sino-Japanese economic relations"!

A month after the economic breakdown, the Japanese cement industry fell into crisis, and two months later, the Japanese textile industry fell into crisis.

This crisis is not the same as the previous crisis, in the past, Japan could survive through dumping and state subsidies, but this time they could not see the hope of dumping at all, at least dumping to China is impossible, so they began to dump in Western countries, but this move caused confrontation in Western countries, starting with Germany, then the United States, France followed, and finally even Japan's ally Britain, announced a special tariff of 30% on Japanese textiles to resist the dumping of the Japanese.

Japan has a population of 50 million, plus North Korea and Taiwan is only 60 or 70 million, and at this time Japan is in the period of industrial accumulation, and it is not yet a developed country, so the common people are very poor, and the Japanese people are very poor, not to mention the people of North Korea and Taiwan who are being squeezed.

Needless to say, the cement industry and the textile industry cannot obtain enough market, as long as their market shrinks enough to produce a crisis, not to mention that the Chinese market accounts for more than 30% of Japan's textile industry, and at least one million of Japan's three million spindles are sold to China.

And the British will eat a little of this million empty bags in the market, and then most of them will be eaten by Zhang Jian.

It was said that such a serious crisis would have led to a war in other countries, but the Japanese held back.

They began to negotiate frequently with the British, hoping to get assurances from the British, but the British, who did not dare to give them assurances, knew that as long as they gave the Japanese assurances, Japan would definitely start a war, and the British, themselves, did not dare to guarantee the consequences of getting involved in this war, so they did not dare to take risks.

If Japan is assured, it will not dare to take the risk of resisting China, the United States, and Germany alone, so it can only continue to forbear.

The domestic crisis is deep, there are many contradictions in all strata, and ordinary workers are extremely dissatisfied with the monopoly chaebol.

The government is desperately trying to steer public opinion to China, telling the people that it is because of the Chinese government's provocation that they have had such a hard time.

However, the government's guidance has strengthened the anti-China sentiment of the Japanese people, and they have even more strongly demanded that the government go to war against China.

The navy could not fight, and it was a vain battle against Lushun, and the war with the Russians on both sides showed that it was impossible for Lushun to be captured from the sea.

So the Japanese army planned to test it from land.

The direction chosen by the Japanese was the Heilongjiang River Valley, and a small force of their troops crossed the Heilongjiang River and touched the Heihe River from Hailan Pao, but they had long been targeted, and a conflict broke out between the two sides, and the Japanese escaped from the Heilongjiang River after losing most of their troops.

Yang Chao dared to play like this, he must have prepared Wu Peifu a long time ago, and the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River basins are key areas.

The Japanese found that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese troops was still considerable, and felt that it was not so easy to win the land war, so they temporarily held back.

However, Yang Chao made a big splash about this Japanese sneak attack, inviting many reporters to the northeast to show them the corpses of Japanese soldiers.

At this time, it was a cold winter, and the corpses of the Japanese could not rot, and it was also because of the cold winter that they could easily come from the frozen Heilongjiang River.

After displaying the body, Yang Chao asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send a strongly worded protest to Japan, demanding that the Japanese military prevent the recurrence of such incidents.

Then Yang Chao used this as an excuse to declare a state of emergency in the northeast, and preached the threat of war in various parts of the northeast, which made the common people who had lived a good life for several years panic, and then began to recruit troops on a large scale.

The people of Northeast China, who had been baptized by the Russo-Japanese War and the Northeast War, already had the concept of joining the army to defend their hometown, and they also trusted Yang Chao to lead them to a great victory.

100,000 people were recruited in a month, but Yang Chao still felt that it was not enough, and he had to be thawed in Heilongjiang, and before the thaw in the northern seas, he should recruit 1 million troops, otherwise if Japan suddenly launched a ground attack at that time, it would be very unfavorable to the situation in the northeast.

The outbreak of the conflict in the Northeast made many people shudder, and they were really worried that the war would break out, but they were relieved to see that the Japanese did not make any next moves, and many people thought that at least they had to wait for Heilongjiang to enter the summer before a large-scale war could break out.

At the same time, public opinion in the two countries continued to ferment, and mutual hatred reached the extreme.

The Japanese people's hatred for China is extremely deep, and they don't dare to go out casually in Japan.

But at this time, Brother Pao still refused to leave Japan, because with the conflict between China and Japan, he became more and more strange, and the Japanese treated him like a guest from all sides, and the Japanese were extremely eager for Brother Pao to return to China to launch a revolution.

Brother Pao felt that this did not seem to be a good opportunity, he knew very well that at this time, domestic public opinion had been guided to the Sino-Japanese conflict, and young people were indeed easy to fool, but you had to follow them, just like Song Jiaoren was assassinated, it was easy for you to incite young people to hate Yuan Shikai, but at this time China and Japan were confronting, it was easy to incite young people to smash Japanese shops, and it was difficult to incite them to rebel.

In the eyes of the Japanese, Brother Pao is just a dispensable and usable pawn, and they don't care if they can't be used for the time being, and the Japanese continue their diplomatic activities.

Although this is a confrontation between China and Japan, there are two alliance groups behind it, one is the Anglo-Japanese alliance, and the other is the Sino-American and German alliance, and the Franco-Russian alliance stands in the middle at this time, with a transcendent position.

Japan contacted France, to the point that they were not naïve enough to want to win over France, they robbed the Russians of so much territory, and it was impossible to count on the Franco-Russian alliance to help them.

The Japanese only wanted to get a guarantee from France that the Franco-Russian alliance would not participate in the war in the event of a war between China and Japan. The Japanese were worried that if they fought with China and the Russians took the opportunity to regain their lost territory, it would become a Franco-Russian alliance and a Sino-American and German alliance against the Anglo-Japanese alliance, which would be a world war, and Japan would bear the brunt of the impact of the two major blocs, and the British would at most help them stop the French and German navies, and on land, Japan would at least have to resist the attacks of the Chinese and Russian armies.

At this time, the last of the three alliances, the Franco-Russian alliance, became the last weight, and once they joined, it would be out of balance in an instant. (To be continued.) )
