Chapter 473: Battle of Taipei

Hirohito himself is not weak, he is familiar with Western history, is also a biologist, Hirohito from the moment he ascended the throne wanted to get rid of the cowardly image of his father Taisho era, follow the example of Emperor Meiji to restore the prestige of Japan, on how to expand the sphere of influence, Hirohito also has his own ideas, he believes that the Japanese do not like the cold, for example, the current Hokkaido Island is still sparsely populated, although Japan has taken Korea over the years, but also immigration is also very limited.

Originally, the ideal direction of Japanese aggression was China, and it was Hirohito's original dream to take the land south of the Yangtze River, which is often praised in poetry, but with the rise of China, this idea has become more and more unrealistic, and Hirohito has begun to shift his attention to the South Seas, where the land is fertile, the climate is warm, and the natives everywhere are even more lazy and cowardly, and they do not deserve such a good land.

As for Britain and the United States and other countries, although they are strong, but Japan still occupies a geographical advantage, it is still more promising to occupy these areas, of course, before this, it is best to solve the trouble of the Chinese navy, after all, Hirohito is also worried that when Japan is preparing to go south, China will attack behind the back, after all, the two countries have a deep grudge, and no one trusts anyone!

Who knows that the provocation against China not only did not achieve the goal of destroying the Chinese navy, but also put the Japanese family into it, and almost lost the underwear, but until this moment Hirohito still did not give up hope, he often stared at the bust of Napoleon in the palace these days.

This is the only souvenir that Hirohito brought back from his travels in Europe, Hirohito also regarded Napoleon as his idol, a big husband should be like Napoleon, sweeping Liuhe, these days Hirohito seeks some kind of strength from this statue, Hirohito firmly believes that Japan can make a comeback, but the only problem is to concentrate the power of the whole country on his own body, and re-expand the armament as in the Meiji era, and work together.

In Hirohito's view, the Meiji era was able to defeat the two great enemies of the Manchus and Russia. The main thing is to rely on the unity of mind. After the concentration of power and the entry of the Taisho era, Japan's chaebol has a serious tendency towards independence, and the power of the democrats has swelled wildly, and the so-called democrats are just using the excuse of democratic elections to empty the power of the emperor, and these people are extremely selfish. has been reduced to the moth of the empire.

Hirohito looked coldly at Iwasaki Koyata and Tuan Takumi at this time, "The two of you must know better than me about the difficulties of the empire today, aren't you ready to make a little contribution to the empire!" ”

Tuan pondered the cunning of the old treacherous and took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, the empire is unfortunately defeated, and every subject of the empire feels the same way. We, the Mitsui Group, are willing to give eight million dollars to the government to solve the difficulties of the empire! ”

"Eight million? That's a lot of numbers! Hirohito turned his gaze to Iwasaki Koyata again, although on the surface Hirohito still tried to keep his calm, but his left hand was clenched tightly, and his bones were completely white, as the emperor of Japan, he was not a beggar with a small amount of money. Just eight million. Mitsui can't play himself like a child!

"What is the attitude of Mitsubishi?" Hirohito's crane sound reached Iwasaki Koyata's ears, but it was no less than a thunderbolt. It sounds terrifying, although Mitsubishi is extremely powerful, but the emperor is a god in Japan, how can people compare with gods!

Iwasaki Koyata didn't speak, a layer of delicate sweat beads appeared on his forehead, he really felt Hirohito's anger, but at this time he didn't want to back down, so he could only pretend to be stupid with Tuanzhu.

"Mitsubishi's finances are better, and we are willing to give 10 million!"

When Hirohito heard this, the anger in his heart couldn't be contained, he knew very well that these people had long known the conditions proposed by the Chinese side, and now they still dared to prevaricate with themselves, and they wanted to send themselves away with a few million, which was simply wishful thinking.

Hirohito's body suddenly stood up, and his voice became sharper and sharper: "Two, the people of China have put forward conditions, hoping to use your assets in China to offset the empire's war reparations, what do you think?" ”

Hirohito broke the matter, and Tuan Zhuan couldn't pretend to be stupid, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, it stands to reason that it is our duty to be loyal to the empire, but our wealth is all private property, which is of a private nature, and all countries respect private property all over the world, except for the Red Empire and the Soviet Union, if the empire breaks this rule, it will definitely attract the dissatisfaction of the powers, and maybe the powers will also withdraw their investments in the empire on a large scale, and the impact is immeasurable, Your Majesty, this kind of bad example must not be opened, Otherwise, the empire will be the target of everyone! ”

Powers! Threatening himself with foreign powers, Hirohito's face was already flushed, and the knuckles of his fingers kept gurgling.

"Tuan Ponder Jun, the Mitsui chaebol has been able to develop to this day is the result of the support of the empire, why you can have huge assets in China, it is because the soldiers of the navy and army of the empire opened the door of China with their lives and obtained the qualification to invest in China, if there is no empire, you are no different from those ordinary grocery merchants, and you are still struggling with the untouchables at the bottom, and now that the empire is in difficulty, are you not willing to make sacrifices, the empire is strong, and your efforts can be rewardedIf the empire sinks, you will also be crushed, and you will never think of a day of success! ”

Hirohito's words were very heavy, Iwasaki Koyata was already a little unbearable at this time, he only felt that his legs were weak, his body was sweating, and he was about to fall, but Tuan Takuma was relatively calm, he didn't look at this young emperor in his eyes, and he also knew very well in his heart how much Mitsui's property in China was, and he would never let go.

"Your Majesty, although we have some assets in China, but under the blow of the China government, there is not much left, and it is not enough to compensate for the losses of the China people, I think this is a conspiracy played by the China people, that is, they want the empire to grudge against the European and American consortium forces, and then completely knock the empire into the abyss of no return, the empire must not be led by the nose of the China people!"

After Hirohito heard Tuan Takuma's words, the anger in his heart rushed straight to the top beam, the empire can't be led by the nose of the people, and the empire can't let the chaebol lead the nose, Hirohito didn't want to talk to him anymore, just waved his hand and asked them to retreat.

Tuan Takuma and Iwasaki Koya went out of the Nijubashi Palace together, Iwasaki Koya obviously did not have such a good psychological quality as Tuan Tsuruma, and he was already a little collapsed at this time.

"Tuan Takuma-kun, after all, the other party is the emperor, should we take a step back? Otherwise, it won't end well for everyone! ”

"Iwasaki-kun. Are you willing to give away all that wealth? That's hundreds of millions of assets, and the economic development of the people of China is very fast, and the speed of mineral appreciation is also very amazing. ”

"Although the words are good, but this time the people of China have already set their sights on this wealth, even if we don't hand it over. The people of Shina will also act on their own, and sooner or later they will not be able to save it, so why should they offend the emperor for this! ”

"Iwasaki-kun, what if the people of China are eyeing it, can't we even deal with this little thing? As long as the war is over, we will use all kinds of relationships. God unknowingly sold all this wealth, and then transferred it to Europe and the United States, you must know that these countries are a paradise for the rich, and will do everything possible to protect property, with our financial resources, everywhere are people, as for the emperor, what can they do to us, how many times has the president of the United States been assassinated? ”

After Tuan pondered this rebellious sentence. Koyata Iwasaki was also taken aback at the time. The one in front of me is too crazy to dare to attack the emperor. However, this sounds very exciting, in fact, Mitsui and Mitsubishi's huge chaebols have long been dissatisfied with the Japanese system.

In particular, the supreme authority of the emperor is a huge restriction on the ambitious chaebol, you must know that in Europe and the United States, the consortium can manipulate the election and grasp the power of the state, and Japan has a sacred emperor, and a group of crazy warlords, it can be said that Japan's current state system has seriously affected the chaebol to realize their own demands.

It may be a good choice to attack the emperor, they are planning here, and Hirohito is not idle, after he drove out the two of them, he found Prince Takamatsu, who was the most confidant, and asked him to invite Tanaka Yoshiichi, and told Tanaka Yoshiichi about Mitsui and other consortiums shorting yen, Hirohito's meaning is already very clear, he is going to have a showdown with these chaebols.

The Japanese political arena is giving birth to stormy waves, and the Chinese army is marching towards Taipei with its head held high at this time, and at this time Japan has retreated its main forces to the vicinity of Taipei, and the Chinese army can go all the way unimpeded, and the mighty and majestic national defense forces along the way have also opened the eyes of the Taiwan people.

There are airplanes in the sky, tanks and armored vehicles on the ground rumbling loudly, and an astonishing number of cannons thicker than a person's waist; these real forces are the most convincing; the strength of the motherland has left an indelible impression in the hearts of all Taiwanese people, and Guo Guoji's mission is to convey the strength of the motherland to every Taiwanese.

During this period of Japanese rule, the ordinary people were deprived to the fullest, and only a small part of them gained benefits, and Guo Guoji's main way to clean up people's hearts was to direct their grievances and dissatisfaction to those who benefited; of course, the Japanese expatriates were even more within the scope of the attack, confiscating all their wealth, and then distributing it to the ordinary people, and the people of Taiwan valued these tangible benefits the most, and the others were secondary.

When the motherland's military generation comes, they will gain benefits, and they naturally want to support the motherland, in fact, the reason is very simple, but if you want to attack those powerful groups, you need strong executive power, and not any regime can do this.

Liu Xiang and Deng Xihou's army soon came to the outer position of Taipei, the Japanese had already built a completed defensive position, the governor Shangshan Manzhijin wanted the Chinese army to let him go, as long as he could keep the wealth of himself and his subordinates, he would give up Taiwan, but Liu Xiang did not respond, but directly attacked Taipei, he had to fight!

The battle to attack Taipei soon began, and the Chinese Air Force still acted as the vanguard, and the Japanese troops in Taiwan had no combat planes at all, and the Chinese Air Force was able to exert itself wantonly, and a large number of bombs were dropped on the heads of the Japanese, and the sound of violent explosions shook the heavens and the earth, and in an instant the Japanese positions were full of gunsmoke.

A large number of Japanese soldiers were killed by the bombs, and for a time the mutilated limbs were all over the land, and the bloody breath pierced the nostrils, but the Japanese couldn't care about it at this time, what they thought about was when this war would end! (To be continued.) )
