At present, Japan is basically no different from China's protectorate, China has naval and army military bases in Japan, Japan's currency is pegged to China's currency, Japan's export market is mainly China, China will get a serious illness if it sneezes, and China's control over Japan is second only to the destruction of the country, so how can Japan be thrown to the United States in this case. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Once Japan takes a hard line on the United States and the U.S. warship sails to Tokyo, can China allow the U.S. to have a black ship incident?

Without China's consent, the Americans would not dare to sail their fleet into Asia, and they were worried that a small detachment would be wiped out by the Chinese navy.

Since it is impossible for China to abandon Japan, does Japan need to worry about the United States?

Therefore, Japan can confidently and boldly challenge the United States, such as confiscating the assets of the United States in Japan and the like, but Japan does not dare to do this, because Japan has always refused foreign investment, and its foreign assets in Japan are only some commercial assets, such as HSBC, and industrial assets are not allowed to enter at all, while Japan has more assets in the United States, and Japan has 300,000 expatriates in the United States, and the assets of these expatriates are as high as hundreds of millions of dollars.

But when the United States does not dare to touch its Japanese assets, how can Japan, without a navy, challenge the United States?

Hirohito couldn't help but cast a puzzled gaze on Yang Chao.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "You can first put forward tough diplomatic rhetoric to create tensions, and at the same time closely follow China to negotiate the issue of military alliances, and then talk about war when everything is negotiated." ”

Hirohito could only accept it, standing up and bowing goodbye.

Sure enough, the Japanese sent a strongly worded note to the United States, demanding that the United States immediately denounce the exclusion of Japan in the immigration bill, otherwise Japan has the right to take all measures to retaliate.

The Americans did not take Japan's threat seriously at all, because they had long since lost the threat of Japan, the country was completely abandoned, and what they were most worried about now was the threat from China, so they convened the Washington Conference to limit the naval armaments of various countries.

The Americans replied to Japan that the issue of immigration was their own internal affair and had nothing to do with Japan at all, and hoped that Japan would not overreact and point fingers at the internal affairs of the United States.

Japan secretly negotiated with China at the same time, Pan Xun really responded positively to Japan, next year's general election, Pan Xun also wants to do something that can stimulate national sentiment to increase his popularity, these two days Mi Qing in Guangdong to engage in Sino-British cooperation, Guangdong from the Kowloon Peninsula Victoria Harbor to Guangzhou built more than 10 large and small ports, the introduction of the British port management system, Lloyd's Register of Shipping, etc., coupled with the development of the Nanyang region, Guangdong through the recovery of Hong Kong this window, has become a natural link of communication between Nanyang and China.

Moreover, through the construction of the port, it has formed a very close connection with Jiangxi, Huguang and southwestern provinces, and has the support of Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

Pan Xun's own stable ticket base is only the three provinces south of the Yangtze River, Hubei, Sichuan and other provinces are free between him and Mi Qing, and Fujian is beginning to loosen a little, no longer in step with Guangdong, although it is very likely to win over, but it is still not enough to ensure the absolute advantage of Mi Qing.

On the other hand, Shandong and the three northeastern provinces are more and more closely connected with Li Fuan, basically Li Fuan's ticket warehouse, and the current political situation is like this.

The biggest reason why Pan Xun was able to compare the combination of Li Fu'an and Mi Qing last time was the outbreak of the Nanyang Incident, which allowed him to gain the support of China's army of students with high patriotic enthusiasm, who had the highest voter turnout and were a powerful political force, but in recent years, Li Fu'an's propaganda for strengthening the country had higher support among students than Pan Xun, who was engaged in education, and Mi Qing's propaganda for enriching the people had attracted the support of the broad working class.

If Pan Xun wants to be elected again, there will be no accidents, it is really difficult to guarantee, and if he relies on those old masters, I am afraid that he will not be stable.

If he can be tough on the United States and finally subdue the United States, he will definitely be able to stimulate the young people in the country again, so that he can get a lot of support, and with the support of the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River and the support of the old masters in the countryside, he should be sure of his re-election.

Especially after figuring out the thoughts of the Japanese, Pan Xun was even more willing to promote an alliance with Japan, personally discussed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and soon reached an agreement with Japan, and then he personally and patiently lobbied one member of Congress after another, telling the congressmen that once the alliance treaty was signed with Japan, Japan would have to look at China at the head of the horse and tie it to China's chariot, and China's international status was similar to that of the ancient alliance leader, which was the status of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In Congress, the old ones were quickly convinced, and as for the new ones, they themselves understood the implications, and there was no need for them to oppose them.

Only a small number of people who understood the recent situation felt that something was wrong, and they were worried that if Japan and the United States were at odds with each other, China would be involved, and they questioned this, but to no avail, because there were many warmongers in the Congress at this time, because half of the capitalists on the Hong Kong issue wanted to beat Britain at that time, and the group of emerging capitalists was the group that most wanted China to prove its world's first strength, and this group now accounts for nearly half of the Congress.

Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly signed a military alliance treaty with Japan, which stipulates that once Japan has a war with any country, China has the obligation to ensure that Japan's mainland is not invaded, and now Japan has no navy, they are an island country, which means that once they have a war with other countries, it can only be other countries' warships to attack them, so this is tantamount to China issuing a statement to the world that no country will be allowed to coerce Japan by force, and Japan is China's military protectorate.

Of course, there must be a subsidiary condition in the treaty, and China cannot be led by the nose by this protectorate, that is, before Japan declares war on any country, it must obtain China's consent, otherwise China has the right to refuse this protection obligation.

Through this treaty, the Japanese received security guarantees, and of course it was essential to pay a certain price, that is, military support, and Japan was willing to bear one-fifth of the military cost of the Chinese navy.

However, after the signing of the Sino-Japanese alliance treaty, Korea soon demanded the same treaty guarantee, and the Ryukyus naturally wanted to get China's military guarantee, so they immediately applied to join the alliance treaty, and the alliance treaty was also revised to the East Asia Mutual Protection Alliance Treaty.

Korea and the Ryukyus share much less military spending, and the combined population of both countries is less than half that of Japan, and their share of one-tenth of the population is already more than Japan's, so it is considered to be a wholeheartedness.

Siam (Thailand) is also very active in negotiations with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they also want to join this alliance, and they are very keen to be protected by China.

It is not easy for Siam to be sandwiched between Britain and France, and the security environment has never been guaranteed, and in history it has taken advantage of the contradictions between Britain and France to proudly maintain its position, and the current situation is obviously China's dominance in Asia, and Britain and France are simply powerless, and they have no intention of confronting China, but it is still easy for Britain and France to bully Siam.

For example, in the past two years, the British have built the Yunnan-Burma Railway, but the Yunnan-Burma Railway in Myanmar is only a meter gauge, not the standard gauge advocated by the British, because the British have not found valuable mineral deposits in Myanmar, and there is no need to build a standard gauge with a larger transport capacity.

But Siam's railways were standard, so the British wanted to extend the Yunnan-Burma railway network through Siam to Singapore, so that they would only need to build a single railway line from the Siam border to the Chinese border, which would be much shorter, without having to renovate the entire Burmese railway line.

The Siamese also knew that they did not dare to let the British railway network communicate with theirs, because they knew very well that once the interests of the railway network were large enough that the British could not give it up, it would be difficult to say whether their statehood would be guaranteed.

Therefore, in recent years, Siam has felt that its national security has not only not improved, but because China's strong rise has affected the situation in Southeast Asia and broken the geographical balance, Siam feels that its national security is more difficult to guarantee.

As early as the time of the East Asian Economic Mutual Assistance Alliance, Siam actively applied to join the alliance, hoping to deepen economic ties with China and obtain some kind of protection from China, but they never joined because China did not want to intervene between Britain and France, thus affecting China's conflict with the British on the South Sea issue.

Now that the Nanyang issue has been perfectly resolved, Britain has accepted cooperation with China on the Nanyang issue, and at the same time has carried out in-depth economic cooperation in Guangdong, Sino-British relations are in the honeymoon at this time, so the relationship with Siam can be moderately increased, and it will not affect the cooperation between China and Britain.

After urgent consultations, Siam also received military protection from China after expressing its willingness to bear the same share of Japan's military burden.

In this way, through this military alliance, the Chinese Navy reimbursed 50% of its military expenditures, and at the same time assumed the obligation to protect these countries.

Hegemonic reports in domestic newspapers declare: China is beginning to protect East Asia!

Having received military guarantees, especially naval protection, the Japanese became emboldened, and they immediately imposed a high tax on the American transit tax.

Although the United States has no trade with China, it has not cut off trade with its colony Philippines, Korea and the Ryukyus, and Southeast Asia, and some American goods are still very marketable in these areas, such as American automobiles, but a large part of the shipping routes from the United States to East Asia pass through Japanese ports.

Japan's sudden increase in transit taxes has greatly affected the interests of the United States, and the Americans will not get used to Japan's problem, and immediately retaliate against Japan's most painful textiles, as high as 1,000 percent, which is equivalent to eliminating the possibility of Japanese textiles entering the United States, because even if the Japanese squeeze female workers, they will have to compete with American textiles at ten times the price, and they will not even be able to recover the capital.

Japan was hit hard, and their emperor immediately found Yang Chao.

"Hehe, since you have formed a military alliance with China, what are you afraid of, you can give the Americans a hard blow!"

Yang Chao said to the worried Hirohito.

Hirohito has been acting according to Yang Chao's instructions from beginning to end, he is tantamount to entrusting the fate of Japan to Yang Chao to keep his promises, if Yang Chao abandons Japan, he really doesn't know how to end, so he honestly came to consult Yang Chao again.

Before looking for Yang Chao, he didn't communicate with the Chinese government, just like when the Japanese had been negotiating with Pan Xun, they didn't mention Yang Chao, so that Pan Xun always thought that he was in control of the situation, but in fact, Yang Chao secretly guessed Pan Xun's thoughts.

"Please make it clear."

Hirohito bowed humbly.

Yang Chao waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

"Japan can't hit the U.S. mainland, but it's no problem for the U.S. to move on U.S. territory."

"You mean, Hawaii?"

Hirohito was smart that there was nowhere else for the U.S. overseas territories that Japan could influence but Hawaii. (To be continued.) )
