Chapter 11: Before the War (4)
When a country, nation or power is on the rise, there will always be a large number of heroes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info is like Japan today, and in the decades since the Meiji Restoration, there have been a large number of ........ such as Oyama Iwa, Hirobumi Ito, Kobo Okuho, Michiharu Umezawa, Noshinori Nogi, and Gentaro Kodama Well, actually, this is all from the last years of the shogunate.
Just like the current Beiyang generals, there are greedy and lustful among these people, and there are also greedy and lustful people, but the spirit of these people has not been exhausted, and they have not completely become fanatics who only know how to fight for power and profit like their later quilts.
Japanese Minister Hi Zhiyi is such a typical Japanese bureaucrat who is greedy for money and lustful, but still has the country and the nation in his heart. Rizhiyi is not very good-looking, compared with him, Yuan Shikai can probably be regarded as beautiful.
Although he is not good-looking, Hichiki is a rare figure in Japan with an international perspective. Of course, military attachΓ©s and diplomats stationed abroad will most likely be more open-minded. Because they will have more sources, and they will see the situation in different countries with their own eyes.
He has long known that Beiyang's crazy military expansion will not last long, even if there are cheap arms from Japan, but most of the guns and ammunition in Beiyang are imported from Britain, Germany, and France, of which Britain accounts for the majority. These arms and military supplies cannot be eaten or drunk, and if it were not for the desire to die, these investments would shrink year after year.
As for the arms race between the two most powerful forces in northern China, anyone with a discerning eye can see that sooner or later a major bloody war will break out. It didn't start until after the autumn harvest that the war began, which was already expected by many people at the first meeting.
"The Han and the thief are not separated, and the king is not partial?" Rizhiyi "hummed" a few times and walked into Yuan Shikai's official residence.
"Yuan Gong." Hichiki is a typical Japanese person, and he has always done a good job of superficial kung fu.
But when it came to getting things serious, he was like a completely different person, "How did you think about my country's proposal?" β
Yuan Shikai glanced at the pig's head on the opposite side a few times, and was not very happy in his heart, he had just sent off the British minister Zhu Erdian, and now there was a Japanese again. He was not sensitive to the "package" promoted by the Japanese that "aimed at strengthening Sino-Japanese cooperation." But now at such a critical time, he didn't want to offend the Japanese.
Therefore, in the end, Rizhiyi did not get any credit. Yuan Shikai didn't eat oil and salt, he just wanted to eat benefits, and he didn't want to give a little pay. There is no need to talk about the mines, even more so the railway.
Although they are in different positions with each other, they still admire such an opponent. For such an enemy, he still wants to be defeated. He was happy to see the civil war of the Chinese. The civil war of the Chinese, this kind of thing makes this pig's head can't help but want to laugh.
This is really heaven's blessing, it is better to let the Chinese talk about the blood to be drained, so that in the Far East there will be a situation in which Japan leads everything. It's just that he seems to have forgotten that it was only after the bloody war at the end of the Edo period that Japan developed rapidly, and Japan is now thriving.
The three countries most involved in this war are Britain, Russia, and Japan. And the Russians ........ He has always been the master who never relaxes when he bites the fat.
The Tsar in Petersburg had already set a strategic goal for the development of the Far East this year, and his relative, the German Emperor Wilhelm II, was also very supportive. In order to fulfill the dream of Yellow Russia, the Russians are tilting all their resources to the Trans-Siberian Railway.
As long as the railway is completed, then the troops and supplies from Europe will continue to pour into the Far East, and eat all the land in their stomachs. In last year's war, the armies of the three eastern provinces did not want to enter the customs to participate in the war, but they really could not move forward.
And the millions of troops in Europe can only stare at that side, and they can't do anything about the situation in the Far East. Therefore, even if they received information that the Chinese were about to break out in the civil war, the Russians only "hummed" a few times there, and then hoarded their troops on the side of the Yalu River, vigilantly watching the Japanese troops on the other side of the river.
Unlike the big men in Petersburg who were dismissive of the fighting power of the yellow race, these Russians in the Far East were wary of both the Japanese and the Chinese. The Japanese-backed guerrilla forces such as the Yamama have always been a headache for them.
At this time, the three eastern provinces were still in a semi-barbaric state, full of old forests, and no one could be found if they wanted to encircle and suppress them. Fortunately, they have now also found an agent in China, Nikolai Song, or rather a Chinese called Song Biao, a Chinese who deeply likes Russia. With the support of the Russians, Song Biao had built up an armed force of several thousand men and effectively maintained Russian rule in the three eastern provinces.
"We seem to support Song Biao too, right?" Lin Mengchu had already decided to set off tonight and go to the front line, so he hurried up the time to carry out the final warmth. She lay on the boy's chest and asked curiously, "Does he really like Russians so much?" β
"I don't like it," Chen Cheng replied, "but he seems to think that the Japanese are China's greatest enemy, and even with the help of the Russians, they will expel the Japanese power." β
"It's really Too young, too simple," the girl sighed, "the three eastern provinces are now dominated by the Russians, and he still wants to help the Russians expel the Japanese power, he is really ........ Forget it, let's not talk about it. β
She changed the subject and said: "I heard that when Song Biao came from that world, he also brought dozens of nuclear bombs? β
"Yes, someone actually crossed with such a big killing weapon, this is really terrible."
"However, you don't look a little nervous right now, so you must have taken care of it, right?"
"If you want to say that it is handled well, you can't say it completely," Chen Cheng replied, "but at least don't worry." β
"How?"
"Nuclear bombs need maintenance, and if you want to launch them, you also need vehicles. As for the current situation in Tohoku, I think there will be no way to launch those nuclear bombs when they are all scrapped. Chen Cheng laughed, "The biggest effect of those nuclear bombs is probably that they can be used to die together when the enemy invades." β
"Alas, this kind of thing is similar to nothing, it is difficult for him to be so calm and painstakingly operating in the Northeast. I heard that he also has a set of martial arts called Nuclear Fusion Fist, which is very powerful, I don't know if it's true. β
"Well, his martial arts are very good. It is reported that in the battle to annex the local bandits, he once single-handedly charged at more than 100 enemies, and won the battle. β
"Hmph, Yang Hongsen, Song Biao, this east and west are very lively." (To be continued.) )
