Chapter 176: Think Tank

Although the top brass did not say anything, the suicide of all the top leaders of the Black Dragon Society and the government's ban on the Black Dragon Society were obvious signals. This made Lu Liang a little surprised, this is the Japanese, a country that claimed to have 100 million people broken and swore to fight to the death against the US military, so that the United States had to use nuclear bombs instead of landing operations.

Originally, LΓΌ Liang was prepared for a long-term war, and the use of national resources, the aggregation of industrial capacity, the calculation of transportation volumes, etc., all revolved around the operational needs of at least one year, although he was not prepared to attack other Japanese islands other than Kyushu. Unexpectedly, only a few days after the war began, the Japanese could not bear it.

"Are the Japanese planning to make a comeback?" Lu Liang couldn't help but sneer. Now President Lu Liang of China also has his own think tank, and he no longer simply relies on the dull brain of genetic people.

Song Jiaoren: "As far as I know, the current Japanese emperor is majestic and strategic, and he is very measured, and most of the internal decisions are related to this Meiji emperor. Japan was able to bow down to us, and Meiji certainly played a very big role in this. ”

"Meiji, Yamaguchi Aritomo, Ito Hirobumi, Saionji Gongwang, etc. are all outstanding people, which is undeniable, but no matter how strong a politician is, there must be a strong national strength behind it, and a weak country has no diplomacy, and now our country is stronger than Japan, and smart politicians will never gamble on the fate of all the people to fight a war that cannot be won." Zhang Taiyan said: With the experience of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a period of time, Minister Zhang's judgment on the international situation has become more and more mature.

"Xiangshuai, what do you think about this?" Lu Liang asked Zhang Zhidong, who was chattering with the old god, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Zhidong served as the vice president of the country and rarely interfered in state affairs, but if there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure, and everyone here is not as scheming as Zhang Zhidong. Lu Liang also respected him very much, and asked the best genetic doctor to examine his body and use the medicine produced in the steel base to treat him. Now Zhang Zhidong is full of red light, and he doesn't look like he is going to die of illness at all, of course, there are also reasons why the country is thriving and defeating Japan has led to good spirits.

"It depends on what the president wants to gain from the war and what is best for the country. Why don't you tell us about your plans first? Zhang Zhidong said with a smile, and everyone listened carefully.

"There is no doubt that Japan is China's mortal enemy, and this threat must be eradicated whenever there is an opportunity. China's development time is too short and its national strength is limited, so we have seized the opportunity of the Russo-Japanese War, and after hiding our strength, we suddenly exert our strength and adopt the current situation. However, the impact of the long-term war on our country is too great, and it will put the newly restored people's livelihood in a difficult situation. If we press Japan too hard. It will make Japan unite against our country, far away from the ocean, we do not have an advantage in the operation of Japan itself, and our industrial capacity and logistical capabilities do not allow us to send more troops, so it is already our limit to take Kyushu. From an international point of view, the great powers will not see Japan perish, they need a country to contain the rapidly rising power of China, if we insist on going our own way. I am afraid that we will fall into absolute isolation internationally, which is not good for us. Lu Liang said this. After a pause, everyone pondered Lu Liang's words.

Li Jingxi: "Your Excellency, if Japan cannot be eliminated now, will they re-emerge and pose a threat to our country?" I mean, is there a way to restrain Japan as a country under the existing conditions so that it cannot rise rapidly, at least not pose a threat to us until our national strength is strong and the country is reunified? Although Li Jingxi occupies a high position. But he has always been cautious, he is more sensitive to his own identity, and rarely participates in discussions, just listening.

Lu Liang looked at Li Jingxi with interest, and Li Jingxi was a little uneasy under the president's gaze. As soon as I wanted to explain my suggestion, I heard Lu Liang say: "Very well-said, this is what we need to consider next!" This sentence calmed Li Jingxi a little, but he didn't know that Lu Liang was impressed by Li Jingxi, although these people were the feudal officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty before, but the enthusiasm and speed of accepting revolutionary ideas, cultural baptism and experience in managing local affairs were very fast, and the ugly way of saying it was that after a thorough transformation, coupled with the experience and management experience that Song Jiaoren and others did not have, they can now play a role more than those new young people. Therefore, Lu Liang is ready to strengthen the use of these people in the next step.

Seeing that Lu Liang was very satisfied, Tao Chengzhang, the representative of the new young officials, was not to be outdone, and continued: "If you want to limit Japan's development, you need to put forward a series of conditions in the post-war negotiations, such as the concession of Kagoshima Port or the designation of China, using this port as a base, and letting the navy implement a blockade of Japan. There were also restrictions on the number of warships and troops that Japan could possess after the war, and Japan was not allowed to have colonies. ”

"I'm afraid that these conditions are a little difficult to achieve, Japan now has a colony of Taiwan, basically owns Korea, and there are more than 500,000 soldiers in the northeast, these factors must be taken into account, that is to say, Japan has the hole card to negotiate with us, and we also have to consider the possibility of more than 500,000 Japanese troops going south. In addition, the great powers, especially Britain and France, do not want to see Japan so weakened by us, and we can put forward conditions, and these conditions are so that we have a certain amount of time, during which Japan in the Far East poses no threat to us, and we can build the country boldly and achieve reunification. "It was Ke Fengshi who spoke, after the surrender of the former governor of Guizhou, his enthusiasm for learning and reform was one of the best among the former Manchu officials, so Ke Fengshi was a smart person, so he could adapt to the rhythm of the new government as soon as possible.

Lu Liang was very happy to see the staff members who were discussing, although these people faintly formed two factions, but Lu Liang was happy to see this situation arise, there was competition to be motivated, they took turns to speak, and even said their plans almost. Moreover, the superiors do not want to see a certain force dominating the family and having the supervision of genetic people, and Lu Liang is not afraid of forming a party for personal gain and corruption.

Each department where these officials are located has a large number of deputy leaders or subordinates of genetic people, and these genetic people can all play the role of supervisors.

Ke Fengshi's suggestion was unanimously approved, although Tao Chengzhang and others were faintly confronted by Li Jingxi and others, they would never make any trouble at this juncture.

Lu Liang concluded: "Then the bottom line of our negotiations is to limit Japan to the greatest extent, prolong the time for its re-emergence, buy time for the construction and reunification of our country, and wait for the next opportunity to eliminate this ******** in one fell swoop!" ”

Our president likes to come up with some new terms, ******** this title is unbearable, but it is very suitable for the head of the enemies of China.

"We need to set some limits on Japan's military strength, the number and tonnage of capital ships, the number of land forces, of course, negotiations are bargaining, and it is still unknown what the final result will be, so it is good to disgust Japan. In fact, the most important thing is how to deal with the more than 500,000 Japanese troops in the northeast, and I suggest that this matter should be discussed with Russia, and it is best to form a situation in which Japan and Russia contain each other in the northeast, and we cannot enter the northeast at present, so there can be no situation in which Russia is dominant, which is not conducive to our recapture of the northeast in the future, and I believe that the great powers do not want to see Russia grow bigger in the northeast. Lu Liang's military staff, Army Major General Huang Xing said. Huang Xing joined the Zhenguo Party in 1903, and then entered the Army Academy for further study according to his interests, and then showed strong strategic awareness and analytical ability in the General Staff, and was selected by Lu Liang to serve as his military staff officer.

Lu Liang nodded, indeed, the Northeast is a scar that he deliberately ignored, and everyone is sad that the great powers are fighting on their own soil, but now Huaguo really lacks the ability to interfere in the Northeast, so he can only put it down for the time being. Judging from the coming period, Japan will definitely hold on to Russia in the northeast for a while, which is the inevitable result of the influence of the international situation.

"Japan's economic foundation is relatively weak, although the industry is progressing rapidly, but the scale and quality are limited, before Japan's economy mostly relied on cotton yarn exports, the market is our country, and most of its resources are from China, it can be said that China's cowardice fattened this ********, especially the First Sino-Japanese War allowed Japan to obtain huge resources and wealth for development, and the purchase of the capital ships of its combined fleet, most of which used the Manchu indemnity, The completion of the Yawata Iron Works, its largest iron and steel company, is also inseparable from China. In recent years, Japan's cotton yarn industry has been squeezed very hard by China, and Japanese products are almost impossible to see in the areas south of the Yangtze River, which has done great harm to the Japanese economy. When Japan launched the Russo-Japanese War, it did not fail to find new sources of resources and market dumping sites. Therefore, the post-war restrictions on the Japanese economy should also be taken into account, and by cutting off its sources of resources and markets, we can cut off the hope of Japan's rise! Finance Minister Zheng Guanying analyzed in detail.

The suggestions of the think tanks continue to refresh Lu Liang's cognition, these people are worthy of the elite of the times, if they are used well, they will play a role no less than that of genetic people. (To be continued.) )
