Chapter 510: Japan's Crisis (Part II)

"Impossible, how can the Chinese fire so many talents in such a short period of time? With so many backbones missing all of a sudden, aren't they afraid that their economy will be in a big mess? When Fukushima Yasumasa heard this, he immediately shook his head again and again, not wanting to believe Kawahara Caozi's speculation, which was ridiculous no matter how you looked at it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But Kawahara has lived and worked in China for 16 years, and her understanding of China has far surpassed that of Fukushima Yasumasa in Japan, and she is convinced that her judgment is correct, because this is not pure conjecture, but well-founded, "Uncle you don't know, China's way of promoting modernization is different from any previous country, education has always been put first, and the success of the revolution has only been ten years since the completion of the nine-year compulsory education that many Western powers have not done, and the supporting vocational education has also been completed for most of the time. When the talents cultivated by these achievements graduate one after another, you should estimate how much economic capacity it will take to accommodate them, right? ”

"Even if China's industry is less efficient, I am afraid that it will have to have an economy about the size of the entire Western world to accommodate such an educated population." After Fukushima Yasumasa understood this, his face suddenly turned pale, if there is really such a serious overload of talent in China, then it is completely logical that they will expel foreigners who come to work in China.

"This must have been planned from the beginning, first use us Japanese to help them lay a good foundation, and then unload the mill and kill the donkey to make room for local talents after they lose their use value, what a calculation and ruthlessness this is! But even if he knew in advance that Chinese would do this, Japan, whose economy had collapsed at that time, could not refuse such a temptation, this is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy, the scheming of the Chinese head of state is really ......", Fukushima Yasumasa sighed for a while, his expression became calm, when he realized the seriousness of the problem, the temptation of power was not so great, after all, no matter how precious things are, they are not as good as their own lives! As long as people are alive, there is always hope, and life cannot be saved, so what is the meaning of power? Although Fukushima Yasumasa is actually not young now, people, no matter how old they are, as long as they are in good health, they will not feel that they have a few years to live......

"Thanks to you, I know what to do next." , Yasumasa Fukushima took a deep breath and made an important decision that would affect the future of Japan.

The next day, Yasumasa Fukushima submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito, requesting his resignation as Minister of the Navy, citing his lack of energy to hold many hats. Although Ito Hirobumi is old, his mind is still very clear, and he can see through Fukushima Yasumasa's mind at a glance, and he can't help but sigh secretly, "Fukushima-kun, have you finally seen the crisis that Japan is about to face?" But you can still hide, how can the old man hide as the prime minister? ”

With a sigh, Ito suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, and then he didn't know anything. During the First Sino-Japanese War, although Ito Hirobumi's tuberculosis was cured by isoniazid, but because of the long delay and sick work, Ito Hirobumi's health was inevitably seriously damaged, and he has been working hard for the revival of Japan for more than ten years, and his body is constantly overdrawn, and it is a miracle that he can live until now to survive the 70-year-old mark. However, Rao is like this, Ito Hirobumi is now on the verge of running out of oil, and Fukushima Yasumasa's resignation is like the last straw that breaks the camel's back, making him collapse all at once......

Since his body was already an empty shell, only a week after he fell ill, Hirobumi Ito followed the former emperor Meiji underground. However, taking advantage of the time to return to the light, Ito Hirobumi still arranged his afterlife......

The position of prime minister, Ito Hirobumi left his sworn friend Saionji Gongwang, although this may cause the latter to be ruined in the future, but it is better than choosing someone who can't even control the current situation and will hurt Japan more deeply in the future. I have to say that after losing some ability, perhaps because his favorite personal enjoyment has completely become a thing of the past, Ito Hirobumi has become more selfless, which is naturally a good thing for Japan, but his relatives and friends will inevitably be trapped......

Although Saionji Gongwang is also a Meiji veteran, he does not have the insight of Ito Hirobumi, and he is not reminded by an ace spy like Fukushima Yasumasa......

Fukushima Yasuma's resignation was finally passed, after all, Ito Hirobumi also knew that "a twisted melon is not sweet", but the power of the original Minister of the Navy was too great, and the Saionji Gongwang may not be able to suppress it, and Ito Hirobumi did not want the future civil strife to involve the navy, which could have stayed out of the matter and was extremely important to Japan, so he promoted the status of the Marine War Department, making it alongside the Fleet Department, which was tantamount to rebuilding the Army in disguise, and at the same time sharing a large part of the authority of the Minister of the Navy. It has become more like the Chief of the General Staff than the Commander-in-Chief......

As for the candidate for the Minister of the Navy, Fukushima Yasumasa's resignation letter did not clearly recommend it in order to completely clear up the involvement, but Ito Hirobumi has long had a suitable candidate, Yamamoto Gonbei was the adjutant of the Minister of the Navy during the First Sino-Japanese War, both professionalism and information are completely qualified, the identity of the former war criminal is no longer so dazzling after so many years, and he can take over this position, Ito Hirobumi believes that he will even do a better job than Fukushima Yasumasa, but I don't know how much the results can be saved after the chaos......

Although Fukushima Yasumasa handed over the navy, the special high school of the intelligence agency is still firmly grasping, which is also his capital to protect himself in the chaos in the future. Ito Hirobumi was able to foresee all of this, but he couldn't see at all whether Fukushima Yasumasa would survive the future chaos in Japan, just like Fukushima himself......

Note 1: Under the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Shimonoseki, the Japanese military will no longer be accountable to the king, but to the parliament, and the power of the prime minister will be greatly strengthened. Of course, if you compare it with the head of China, it is still a big difference.
