Chapter 486: South China Sea Exercise

Just as the Chinese side was in full swing to begin its investigation, there were four more attacks on patrolling soldiers in the Ryukyus, this time using not only land mines, but also grenades and rifles, and three more soldiers were killed in the attack.

The news soon came out, and public opinion was in an uproar, and the successive victories had already enabled China to regain the consciousness of a part of the great powers, and the media showed astonishing anger at this naked provocation, and soon some media pointed the finger at Japan, and some small and medium-sized newspapers even shouted the slogan of continuing to teach Japan a lesson, and some influential newspapers also demanded that the government strictly investigate the matter.

In addition, China's major cities at this time have begun to popularize the radio, which has also produced the first batch of media commentators, that is, the so-called famous mouths, the current news gossip is far less than the madness of later generations, and the subject matter is not too much, in addition to government trends, it is some pear orchard line, courtesan news, this time there was a series of attacks, so that all the gossip fire boiled, almost everyone jumped out, many people even directly demanded the abolition of the contract between China and Japan, continue the war against Japan.

Just when public opinion was boiling, the attitude of the Chinese government was very strange, only saying that it would deal with it seriously, punish the murderers, and restore order in the Ryukyus as soon as possible, but did not make too many statements, which made everyone a little confused.

Yang Du has also been concerned about this matter, to be honest, although the sacrifice of soldiers is very painful, but after all, the country is too big, things are complicated, much more important than this, the reason why Yang Du is so concerned is that this time node is too important, the Sino-Japanese war has just ended, and the major powers have held a meeting on arms limitation in Geneva, and the Chinese Navy Guangxi warship has just visited Thailand, these things are linked together, in fact, a blueprint for the change of the world pattern has shown a trace of picture, Nothing should be taken lightly at this time.

"The Japanese ambassador has made it clear to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through a private matter that Japan has nothing to do with the Ryukyu attacks. They also strongly opposed such despicable assassinations. Yang Du thought for a moment. He also said: "President, I now also think that it is definitely not the Japanese government behind it, and Tang Chunfeng, the head of the Ryukyu Restoration Organization, has repeatedly clarified that the Ryukyu Restoration Organization is definitely not involved!" ”

"Well, Mr. Huizi, I can't tell you what is real and false without definite evidence, but we must not let this kind of thing disturb our judgment. interferes with decision-making, this is the most important thing, and at the Geneva conference we need to increase our support for Japan and prevent the West from kicking Japan out of the great powers! ”

A major war between Japan and China was fought, and the main warships of the navy were basically lost, and what was even worse was the loss of more than 300,000 elite troops of the navy, land and air force. It is equivalent to exhausting the family funds that came to the Meiji Restoration, and the original huge combined fleet is only left with a Haruna battleship to support the façade, and the Japanese salvage the Fengxiang, which is not seriously damaged, and hurry up to repair it, before the new ship is launched, this is Japan's last force.

This kind of strength is simply different from the world's third place recognized before the war, but Qiao Yu knows very well that Japan still has some potential, especially the foundation of Japan's shipbuilding industry. There is also no loss of a large number of excellent groups of warship designs. Moreover, the warlords and chaebols, which make up the two legs of Japanese politics, were not fundamentally shaken, and Hirohito also caught the sore foot of the chaebol in the end. By coercing the chaebols, the power of the whole country was in their hands.

It can be said that as long as Japan is given a chance, it will still be able to regroup and make a comeback. Now the world's major powers are white, almost all the colonies are also under the control of whites, only China and Japan are two yellow powers, although there is a huge hatred between the two, but now China still needs Japan to share part of the pressure.

Moreover, if the serial attacks on the Ryukyus this time were instigated by the great powers behind their backs, then the meaning of instigating the contradictions between China and Japan would be very obvious, and Qiao Yu, who pursued the principle that we would support whatever the enemy opposed, and we would oppose whatever the enemy supported, would never be fooled.

"The great president sees that no matter what the enemy has in mind, it is enough for us to respond to all changes with the same, and we can't be led by others by the nose and left behind!"

Qiao Yu set the tone, Gu Weijun naturally supported Japan at the Geneva Conference, originally the United States and Britain proposed to put China in the third position in the world, which could allocate 150,000 tons of aircraft carriers, the United States and Britain were 230,000 tons, and France and Italy were 100,000 tons, and Japan was only allocated 30,000 tons.

If this condition is reached, the share of 30,000 tons will only be enough for Japan to have one large aircraft carrier or two small aircraft carriers, and a navy of this size will not play any role at all.

At this time, however, China stood up and expressed great opposition, insisting that Japan, as a major country in the Asia-Pacific region, should receive at least the same share as France and Italy, and should not be too low.

For this reason, China also specifically raised the issue of the Soviet Union, pointing out that Japan owns land in the Far East and has in fact taken on the task of resisting the Soviet Union's export of revolution, and if Japan is weakened at will, it will command the Soviet Union to take the opportunity to expand its power into the Pacific region, and then threaten the balance of the whole of Asia.

China's statement made Japan overjoyed, at this time Japan is actually most worried about China, after all, the two countries are the closest, if China supports the strict restriction of Japan, Japan will most likely be reduced to a last-class country, it is difficult to turn over, now with China's support, Japan can also fight on the basis of reason.

The United States and Britain also had to consider China's attitude at this time, and at this time, the meeting focused on aircraft carriers and submarines from the very beginning, and you must know that in the Washington Conference, the dispute over aircraft carriers was actually the smallest, and all countries did not see the great value of aircraft carriers, but argued endlessly on battleships.

And this time the situation is completely different, all countries are vying to develop aircraft carriers, the United Kingdom is a global navy, the United States is a two-ocean navy, which requires them to develop aircraft carrier forces, as a means of long-range attack, especially since both countries have huge interests in the Asian region, and they have to face China, a newly rising behemoth.

Although France still had the largest army on the European continent at this time, France knew that an army alone could not bring security, and France also had a strong maritime power. Of course, as a continental country, France's idea of developing its navy is relatively similar to that of China. That is, to pay equal attention to aircraft carriers and submarines, to build a destructive navy, and to spearhead Britain's maritime supremacy.

Italy's Mussolini wanted to make the Italian navy the hegemon of the Mediterranean, and he wanted to relive Julius Caesar's old dream of ruling the entire Mediterranean.

Although all countries are ambitious, with the exception of China, some aircraft carriers of various countries are stuck on paper. Although the United States and Britain have already had aircraft carriers launched, due to insufficient attention, aircraft carrier training is seriously insufficient, in other words, the aircraft carriers of the United States and Britain have not formed combat effectiveness.

At present, China holds one of the most powerful naval aviation forces in the world, and it is precisely because of this that one large, four small, and five aircraft carriers absolutely have the capital to dominate the Asia-Pacific region. The United States, Britain, and other countries have to pay attention to China's opinions, especially China and Japan are the biggest adversaries, and now China does not advocate excessive restrictions on Japan, and they have nothing to say, and these powers also hope to use Japan to contain China.

As a result, we reluctantly agreed to the proposal to place Japan and France and Italy on the same standard, but in addition to the total tonnage, there were various restrictions on the issue of naval bases, and various countries were intrigued. Debated.

However, the Japanese government has frequently praised China's attitude of upholding justice in the newspapers. And a large number of Japanese scholars have come out to advocate Sino-Japanese cooperation, and Asia is the Asia of Asians. China and Japan should jointly lead the anti-colonial struggle in Asia and strive for Asia's full independence.

For China, Japan is a double-edged sword, and if it is used well, it can cut the United States and Britain and other powers, and if it is not used well, it will hurt itself, so China will not cooperate too deeply with Japan.

During this time, the Chinese Bureau of Investigation gradually discovered some clues about the Ryukyu serial attacks, and Wang Lingji reported the information collected and sorted out to Qiao Yu.

"President, after our close tracking, we have arrested two murderers who are preparing to carry out the attack, and after investigation, it was found that these two people are peripheral members of the Ryukyu Restoration Organization, they were originally active in the United States, and they have only recently returned to the Ryukyus, but through the investigation of intelligence organizations in North America, these two people are actually pawns of other forces to enter the Ryukyu Restoration Organization!"

"The United States? Are you saying that these people have anything to do with the U.S. government? It seems that the intelligence agencies of the United States do not have such great capabilities, right? ”

In later generations, the intelligence agencies of the United States stood alone in the world and penetrated everywhere, but in fact, the intelligence forces of the United States were not incomparably strong from the very beginning, and in fact, the intelligence work of the United States lagged behind that of the various powers, and in the early days of the Cold War, the United States often suffered losses in the hands of the Soviets in terms of intelligence.

In the forties and fifties, the British were the teachers of American intelligence work, but now the United States has not been trained in World War II, and its intelligence capabilities are even lower, and it is not even worth mentioning!

"The president saw that it was true that these people were not bought by the United States, but by the British, and it seems that there were also Jewish forces involved in them, and we estimate that Britain wanted to interfere with the Geneva Disarmament Conference, so they came up with the idea of instigating Sino-Japanese relations and planned the attack, and whether the Jews took the initiative to participate or were forced to assist is still certain now!"

Qiao Yu nodded, as long as you know who did this kind of thing, there is nothing to be afraid of, the accumulation of the British Empire over the years is really unusual, not only playing balance between the big powers, but also knowing how to use these subordinate means, worthy of being a century-old overlord!

"Ark, let your people keep an eye on British MI6 for me, and the British must not be allowed to calculate again!"

Of course, Qiao Yu will not do anything just to suffer losses, especially when he already has enough strength in his hands, Qiao Yu immediately decided to launch a naval exercise in the South China Sea, China dispatched two aircraft carriers, the starting point and the Yangwei, surrounded by escort ships, and drove to the South China Sea with great dignity, the exercise area is only 150 nautical miles away from Hong Kong, and it is very clear what Jian Feng is pointing to!
