461 Degrading to the national body
It's not easy to isolate the Japanese, but it's not that hard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Again, the relationship between countries is a conflict of interests.
The reason why the British were able to form an alliance with Japan was that the British were worried about the spread of Russian power in the Qing Empire at the end of the last century, so the British chose to form an alliance with the Japanese and try to use the strength of the Japanese to contain the Russians.
Now that time has passed, the Russian Empire no longer exists, the Qing Empire does not exist, and the basis for the alliance between the British and the Japanese no longer exists.
In addition, during the world war, the Japanese took advantage of the opportunity of the great powers to look eastward to seize most of the interests in China and occupied almost all the Republic of China market, so the British were actually very dissatisfied with the Japanese, so the alliance between Britain and Japan was on the verge of breaking, and perhaps it only took an opportunity for the Anglo-Japanese alliance to cease to exist.
And just when the British were dissatisfied with the Japanese, the mentality of the Japanese also changed.
The impact of the First World War was far more than a superficial economic recession and social chaos, but also made the Japanese see clearly the weakened nature of the European powers, especially the British and French.
To put it simply, the Japanese now look down on the European powers, and Japan does not think that the European powers are as powerful, at least not as strong as they seem.
The Japanese believe that their wings are already on the verge of fullness and that it is time to soar into the sky.
Think about it, just one Germany would make Britain and France so embarrassed, if the Germans also had a strong ally......
So it's not hard to understand why the Japanese wanted to form an Axis alliance with the Germans 20 years later.
And in this time and space, Qin Zhiyuan and Lan Fang were born, which made Japan face a great threat, which made the Japanese dissatisfied with Britain and France to the extreme.
Lanfang is a country with a strong British and French imprint, especially France.
Lanfang is equivalent to a country that France has single-handedly supported, and looking at Lanfang's position, it is difficult for the Japanese who are good at divergent thinking not to think about something.
As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, if you look at the world with your eyes, then everything in this world is a fixed number in the dark, and if you look at the world sideways, then this world is full of conspiracies.
The Japanese now suspect that the world is full of conspiracies, conspiracies against Japan.
Well, that's persecuted paranoia.
It's not delusional, because Qin Zhiyuan is adding fuel to the fire now.
There is also skill in adding fuel to the fire, at least you can't involve yourself, so the turmoil began in London, England.
I still remember that during the World War, there was a period of time when the media in London collectively opened up all kinds of black history of the Japanese, when the citizens of London were agitated and demanded that the British government sever the relationship between Japan, a despicable country, and contact the alliance contract with the Japanese.
It was during the war, and the British government used executive orders to coercively suppress the turmoil.
It didn't end there, and in August, the media in London once again uncovered the black history of the Japanese, and this time more thoroughly and with more momentum.
In fact, in this world, every country is not clean, if you really want to talk about it carefully, there are one or two black histories, and even Lan Fang, which has just been established, is not glorious for some of its actions against the aborigines at the beginning of its establishment.
But no one paid attention to this, and everyone's attention was focused on the island nation of Japan.
London is still the economic center of the world, and the media industry is very developed, from the political Times to the gossip Sun newspaper, so it is a whole lot to unravel Japan's black history.
Of course, there must always be some evidence to open up black history, so all stories start with a photo, which is the famous "Flobetsch photo".
In this photograph, there are more than 40 people, including ministers, merchants, teachers, samurai, shogunates, and other professions, all of whom contributed greatly to the overthrow of the shogunate and the Meiji Restoration.
Take a look at these names, Hirobumi Ito, Mutsu Munemitsu, Saigo Takamori, Okubo Toshitsu, Omuro Innoyu......
They are all famous Japanese ministers, and the only strange one may be Omuro Innoyu.
But Omuro played a very important role here, because the front page of The Sun newspaper published the conclusion that the previous Meiji Emperor was not the original Meiji Emperor at all, and that the emperor had already been impersonated, and the replacement was Omuro Insuke.
As soon as this news was published, it immediately caused an uproar.
If Emperor Meiji is replaced, then it means that the lineage of the current Japanese emperor has been confused, and the current emperor Taisho is not qualified to ascend the throne at all.
This is a big deal!
The Japanese ambassador to Britain immediately contacted the British government and asked the British government to intervene administratively and ordered The Sun to immediately stop slandering Japan.
But it's not that the slander doesn't matter, the important thing is that the news has spread rapidly.
The next day, France's Le Figaro, the American New York Journal, Lanfang's Daily News, and other newspapers with a certain degree of influence reprinted the matter one after another.
In particular, the Mainichi Shimbun, which was reprinted simultaneously in Europe and Asia and promoted the newspaper of the day free of charge.
At the same time, there is also the "Lushun Massacre" caused by Japan during the Russo-Japanese War, and at the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, in order to increase income, the Japanese government organized Japanese women to go to Southeast Asia to solve the physiological needs of those bachelors.
Almost instantly, Japan became synonymous with "counterfeiters" internationally.
Think about it, they are even the emperor fake, what else is real?
The London government seemed to be slow to respond, and it took a week for the London government to begin administrative intervention. At this time, after a week of fermentation, the rumors have intensified, and several versions have been derived.
The Japanese government was so angry that it openly declared that it was ready to withdraw its ambassador to Britain in order to put pressure on the British government.
The British reacted quickly this time, and the British immediately announced that they would re-examine their alliance with Japan in Parliament.
Look at?
Although the proposal on this topic has not yet been released, everyone can predict the outcome.
It was only then that Japan realized that something was wrong.
However, the Japanese had no time to care about relations with the British, as this caused serious social unrest in Japan.
Japan is an imperial state, and in the early 20th century, the emperor was not only the spiritual leader of the country, but also the de facto head of state.
As a result, the emperor's lineage was questioned, and the turmoil in Japan was understandable.
In fact, as early as when the "Sun" newspaper first broke the news, Japan carried out strict news control, prohibiting all newspapers from publishing the matter and prohibiting everyone from discussing the matter.
It's a pity that the Japanese government doesn't understand the truth that it's better to block than to sparse.
The people are like this, the rebellious mentality is very serious, and if they are not allowed to do anything, some people will want to do something. And people are always interested in the gossip of those who are in higher status, even the emperor of Japan.
Just look at the sales of The Sun.
What's more, there are still people who deliberately work against the Japanese government and are trying to spread the news to the whole of Japan, which makes the Japanese government even more unable to guard against it.
The speed with which the news spread was astonishing, and almost every Japanese who knew the news tried to get confirmation from others, and many even flocked to the government's door to ask the government about the authenticity of the news.
In fact, from the very beginning, the Japanese government was in a daze when dealing with this matter, and seeing that the situation was getting worse, the Japanese government actually sent police to arrest the Japanese who spread the news, and sent troops to disperse the crowd of people who were illegally assembled.
So when the time came to mid-August, the situation finally got out of hand.
You must know that the status of the emperor in the hearts of the Japanese is similar to the status of the tsar in Russia before the fall of the empire, and the Russians at that time referred to the tsar as "the tsar's father".
One can imagine how lost and desperate those who regard the emperor as their spiritual pillar must have felt when they learned the news.
And at this time when Emperor Taisho was most needed to make a voice, Emperor Taisho himself did not express anything.
Kyoto was the first to bear the brunt, and many Kyoto citizens gathered in front of the emperor's palace to ask the emperor to refute the rumors and ask the government to give them a reasonable explanation.
This time, Emperor Taisho himself still did not have any explanation.
As a result, the citizens who were desperate for the truth but could not get out of control of their emotions, and some citizens with more extreme ideas even committed suicide by caesarean section at the gate of the palace.
This time Emperor Taisho finally appeared, but it is a pity that Emperor Taisho did not appear in a pro-people attitude, but rode a high-headed horse with a proud expression.
When he saw the blood donation in the square in front of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Taisho suddenly lost control of his emotions and rode straight into the crowd......
It's jaw-dropping.
There's a reason for that.
Emperor Taisho was frail and sickly since childhood, suffering from meningitis and sequelae, and not long ago, Emperor Taisho's cerebral thrombosis turned into a mental illness. When the illness hits, Emperor Taisho often behaved in a ridiculous manner before the public.
For example, while watching a military exercise, Emperor Taisho would suddenly run down from the review stand, open the soldiers' backpacks and rummage through them.
On one occasion, when Emperor Taisho attended the opening ceremony of the Diet, Emperor Taisho suddenly had a whim, and while smirking, he rolled the speech into a cylinder, put it on his eyes, and shone it in front of the foreign envoys.
This......
It should be regarded as an insult to the national body!
It is precisely because of Emperor Taisho's abnormality that the Japanese government does not dare to let Emperor Taisho appear in front of the people, for fear that Emperor Taisho will suddenly lose control.
It's a pity that the mechanism is exhausted, and in the end, it is inevitable to toss this scene.
