The contradictions between Qin Zhiyuan and the Japanese can be said to have been around for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As early as the establishment of the Foreign Legion, the Japanese regarded the Foreign Legion as a serious problem, and also sent troops to Europe to try to replicate the glory of the Foreign Legion.

But unexpectedly, by mistake, the troops sent by the Japanese were all wiped out, which laid the groundwork for the intensification of the contradiction between Lan Fang and Japan.

After the end of the World War, it was precisely because of the Japanese that Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion were homeless, which made the Foreign Legion hate the Japanese to the core, and led to the subsequent outbreak of the "Mediterranean Incident".

Although the Japanese have not yet found out who is the culprit of the "Mediterranean incident", the Japanese know in their hearts that Qin Zhiyuan must have nothing to do with this incident.

The same is true for Qin Zhiyuan, although Qin Zhiyuan has not found out who is behind the "Tianjin Wharf Incident" until now, Qin Zhiyuan also knows that the Japanese must have nothing to do with this incident.

When the hostile behavior between Lanfang and Japan developed to the present, the relationship between Lanfang and Japan was already a sea of blood feud that could not be resolved.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that East Asia is not a big place, because compared to the population of East Asia, people's living space is not large. But at the same time, it is not small to say that it is not small, and it is no problem to increase the existing population base by three or five times.

But human ambition is limitless, and since East Asia already has a strong Lanfang, there can be no more powerful Japan.

It's the same for the Japanese.

In fact, Japan's Taisho Emperor also sent people to attend Qin Zhiyuan's enthronement ceremony, and it is said that he is still a prince.

Lan Fang didn't treat the Japanese very well from top to bottom, so much so that Qin Zhiyuan didn't even remember the name of the prince.

It doesn't matter, anyway, the relationship between Lanfang and Japan is so bad that it can only be solved by war, and there is no point in saying anything else.

So on the night of the same day, Qin Zhiyuan brazenly ordered the expulsion of the Japanese prince.

Yes, it is an expulsion, an expulsion without any mercy.

And in the port, Lan Fang's foreign minister Lu Zhengxiang issued an ultimatum to the prince: if people are not released within three days, then Japan will wait for a war with Lan Fang!

War!

The shadow of world war seems to have just been contacted, and the dark clouds of war are once again looming over East Asia.

Well, that's a bit serious, the world war didn't actually affect East Asia, on the contrary, East Asia also benefited a lot because of the world war.

Before the war with Japan, Qin Zhiyuan still had to do a lot of work, first of all, to calm the emotions of Britain and the United States, Qin Zhiyuan first found Lloyd George.

“…… In fact, I was about to ask you to resign, Lan Fang is indeed beautiful, and it is a pity that I still have work to continue, and I can't stay here for a long time, which is really regrettable. Lloyd George said it very kindly.

"Then you are welcome to come to live in Lanfang after retirement, and the door of Lanfang's friendship will always be open for you." Qin Zhiyuan said more politely.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lloyd George got up and stroked his chest and bowed half-bowed, very aristocratic.

Even if Lloyd George cannot be re-elected after his arrival, Lloyd George will have great prestige because of a prime minister, and it is still worth it for Qin Zhiyuan to encompass him.

"What are you going to do about last night, Your Majesty?" Lloyd George got down to business.

"Lan Fang will definitely not give up this time, the Japanese are too much, they must understand that Lan Fang's dignity cannot be provoked. Just now, Lan Fang had already issued an ultimatum to Japan, if the Japanese did not explain this matter, then Lan Fang would enter a state of war with Japan. Qin Zhiyuan was righteous.

"An ultimatum? No, no, no, this should be cautious......" Lloyd George's intelligence was a little lagging behind, and when he heard Qin Zhiyuan's sternness, he was a little caught off guard: "I think there must be something wrong here, in fact, just now, I received a telegram from Emperor Taisho, what happened last night was just a misunderstanding, and the Japanese side will deal with this matter as soon as possible to see what is the reason for this situation to happen again and again." ”

It sounds like Lloyd George was commissioned by Emperor Taisho to make peace.

"This kind of little trick has already been used by the Japanese, and the last time Emperor Taisho said it was a misunderstanding, this time he said it again...... This reason is really not convincing, and if the result is the same this time, then this kind of thing will continue to happen in the future, and what will happen then? Or is it a misunderstanding? "Qin Zhiyuan is not ready to compromise this time.

"On this issue, my advice is to be calmer, after all, the destructive power of war is huge, and once the war starts easily, it will be difficult to end later, so we must be cautious." Lloyd George still wants to calm things down, but there is a meaning in his words that if Lan Fang decides to go to war, then the war may expand uncontrollably.

"I think we were calm enough in the last seizure. But this calmness is weakness in the eyes of some careerists, so this time it is impossible for Lan Fang to retreat, no matter what he faces, Lan Fang will fight to the end until the last man. "Qin Zhiyuan has the determination to break the kettle.

"To be honest, as a former comrade-in-arms, I have to say that the current Lanfang has no advantage in the face of Japan, or there is no room to show its superiority, so I hope that no matter what decision Your Majesty makes, he will be calmer." Lloyd George analyzes Lanfang's situation from a factual point of view.

In fact, it's not just Lloyd George who thinks so, no matter who looks at it, as long as he has experienced a world war, he will think that Lan Fang, who only has one battleship and doesn't know whether he has formed combat effectiveness, is really not enough to see when facing the "66 Fleet" of the Japanese.

Lan Fang's army may be very strong, but when it comes to fighting at sea, the army will not play any role, and the Japanese only need to send their battleships to blockade Lan Fang, and then force Lan Fang to sue for peace.

"The advantage of the Japanese is not as great as it seems on the surface, as for their 66th fleet, to be honest, I don't think Lan Fang can't compete, the war has developed to this day, it is no longer possible to defeat a country with just one or two warships, if that is the case, there is no need for France to enter the war, and there is no need for the Foreign Legion, just the Royal Navy of the British Empire can kill the Germans." Qin Zhiyuan praised the "British Empire" without a trace.

"Of course, there is no doubt that war is a contest of a country's comprehensive national strength." It seems that Qin Zhiyuan's sycophants make Lloyd George feel very useful.

"In that case, what advantage can the Japanese have? Their industry? Hehe, that's a joke! Their fleet? When faced with a powerful country, and not against the decaying and backward Qing Empire, as well as the Russian Empire, the Japanese fleet did nothing but make the Japanese people arrogant. "Qin Zhiyuan made the Japanese worthless.

Japan's industry is indeed like that, now is not the 30s of the 20th century, before the complete occupation of the northeast of the Republic of China, Japan does not have a stable supply of raw material base, their industrial lifeline is extremely fragile, although not to collapse in a toss, but there is no overwhelming advantage in the face of Lanfang.

In many ways, Japan is at a disadvantage when it comes to Ranfang, and this will become more and more evident over time.

"Now that Your Majesty has decided, then I can only wish Your Majesty good luck......," Lloyd George gave up.

In fact, Lloyd George knew very well that the Japanese were not as powerful as they seemed, and that when faced with the Qing and Russian empires, which had collapsed, the Japanese could show off their might, but when faced with a civilized country, the Japanese were nothing.

If Lan Fang didn't know the details of the Japanese, Lloyd George could say something, but if Lan Fang knew the details of the Japanese, then it would be in vain for Lloyd George to say more.

Just as Qin Zhiyuan and Lloyd George were saying goodbye, a confrontation was taking place in Yokohama, Japan.

The confrontation took place at Lan Fang's penicillin factory in Japan, and the reason was very simple: when the Japanese workers came to work in the early morning, they found that a notice had been posted at the entrance of the factory to stop work and rectify.

This immediately sparked discontent among the Japanese workers.

"Come out, we need an explanation!"

"We're going to work!"

"Lan Fangren, get out!"

Many workers gathered around the factory gate and shouted and demanded that the factory must come forward to explain and give them an explanation.

"Everyone, please go back first, this matter is being coordinated and resolved, Mr. Mayor and Mr. Councilor are discussing with Mr. Lin, please believe Mr. Mayor and Mr. Councilor, they will definitely give everyone an explanation, and at the same time, during the period of suspension and rectification, everyone's wages will be paid normally, please go to the finance office to collect ......" The factory did not ignore the workers' voices, and a young Japanese manager came out to dissuade them, but the voice was quickly drowned out by the neat slogans of the workers.

Unlike the hustle and bustle in front of the factory, the meeting room in the factory was as cold as ice.

"Lin Sang, is there really no room for change in this matter?" The anger of the mayor of Yokohama is on the verge of exploding.

"It's not that there is room for negotiation, but it depends on your attitude, for now, we can only temporarily suspend cooperation with you, as for when to resume work, it depends on a higher level of communication, and we have no right to decide." Lin Changen spoke eloquently without hurry, and the rejection between the words was obvious.

In fact, the most important part of the production of penicillin is the cultivation of culture medium, but in the Yokohama factory, there is no special culture medium workshop here, all the culture media are shipped from Lanfang, and the Yokohama factory is nominally a factory, but in fact it is not a production, just packaging.

"In that case, I'm afraid you've seen what's going on outside, and if you insist, then we can't guarantee your safety." The mayor of Yokohama directly threatened Hayashi Changen with his personal safety.

Prior to this, Yokohama City had done countless work against Lin Changen and others, and used money beauties and other means, but there was no effect.

"Hehe, what joy is life, what is the pain of death, farewell......" Lin Changen let out a long laugh, got up and hugged his fists, turned around and gave alms......

On October 9, Lin Changen, a technical representative sent by Lanfang to Japan to control the penicillin factory, and seven other Lanfang colleagues were beaten to death by angry Japanese workers, and on the same day, Lanfang declared war on Japan.
