Chapter 277: The Aoki Report
Chapter 277 "Aoki Report"
@@@@@
Inside the Japanese War Office, officers stood together to chat about the recent Siemens incident, and as the incident continued to expand, they all smiled knowingly. The hated Satsuma Domain was finally suppressed this time, and even the emperor was alarmed by the shameless embezzlement, and the Yamamoto Gonbei who was in the way finally stepped down, and the good days of the army were finally coming ().
With the coming to power of Shigenobu Okuma, the extremely shrinking army began to be replenished, and the newly created 19th and 20th divisions were already ready for combat missions, and it would not be long before more artillery and divisions would appear in the army sequence, but then what?
When the officers were thinking about more cannons and were discussing what these cannons and the army should be used for, a voice suddenly rang out from the confidential telegraph room downstairs, and the voice of Ueda Kenkichi Daisa, a member of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of the Army, resounded throughout the building: "Got it, we got him, he is in our hands!" ”
Who is he? There is no need to explain this question at all, except for the most eye-catching Siemens incident in the past two days, who in the War Department does not know that Sakanishi Daisa and Kenji Tsuchihara are secretly rescuing an important person related to the lifeline of Japan's Manchuria, and he is now under Japanese control!
"There is hope for Manmeng!"
"God bless Japan!"
"More troops should be sent to Kanto Prefecture!"
"Split China!"
The shouting and discussion instantly drowned out the entire War Department, and Aoki Nobujun, who was doing nothing to write the virtual battle plan, immediately threw the half-written plan in his hand into the trash, reopened the letter paper, and wrote with excitement: "The first joy of Taisho is to ensure that the opportunity to be blessed by God has finally arrived. The Kwantung Army should be formed immediately with three divisions of Kwantung and Korea! In addition to ensuring my rights and interests in the entire Manchurian and Mongolian areas, we should also give priority to the sale of mineral resources to me (our country), allow me to carry out a large-scale migration to Manchu and Mongolia, allow me to open more factories, and all other key administrative, military, and diplomatic departments must have our advisers, and army instructors, weapons, and equipment can only be made in our country.
Second, we should adopt a more lenient policy in Manchuria, allow the army to take free and unrestricted actions, absorb and indulge the activities of thieves and the repressive opposition of the Republic of China, and provide more funds for the Black Dragon Society and other non-governmental forces in our country to enhance our country's influence, so as to make Manchu and Mongolia become the imperial paradise exclusively occupied by our country.
Third, we must conscientiously do a good job in the possibility of directly sending troops to safeguard the interests of our country in Manchuria, Mongolia, because since the establishment of the Yang Qiu government, we have been constantly hostile to our country, and there is no longer any prospect of cooperation, the resources of the mainland are the foundation of our country, and the future lifeline of our country depends on the mainland and not on the sea, so if diplomacy cannot achieve its goal, we should take resolute measures to divide it. ”
It took only half an hour for Aoki Nobujun to write tens of thousands of words, which was comparable to the 21 more severe "Aoki reports" in the parallel world, and the opinion report was full of opinions that the continent should be split, and Manchu and Mongolia should be controlled in order to accumulate strength, so as to achieve the great dream of completely annexing China and realizing the great unification of Asia in the future.
When the Japanese Army rejoiced and dreamed of gradually annexing Northeast China by recognizing the Manchu and Mongolian governments, and then using the resources there to accumulate strength until the dream of achieving the common prosperity of Asia, the city of Nanjing was already covered with dark clouds.
Paper can't hold the fire, let alone such a big thing as the little emperor being abducted.
Within a few hours, the envoys of Nanjing, Shanghai, and even other countries in China all received the news, which was undoubtedly a hot slap in the face for the government of the Republic of China, which had only been stable for less than a year, and many people could even feel the rumbling sound of artillery when they closed their eyes.
Early the next morning, various newspapers broke out the explosive news.
With the designation of Nanjing as the capital, in addition to the acceleration of the pace of urban construction, the common people have also become in the habit of talking about national affairs like Beijing, which seems to be difficult to reflect the vision of the people in the capital.
Several Chinese employees of the Mori Company went out of their homes to prepare to go to work, the Mori Company is Japan's largest resource company in the southeast region, mainly engaged in raw materials such as coal and steel, after the Han Yeping incident, Japan's annual parity quota of 30,000 tons was brought back to Japan through this company, although most of the raw materials of Yawata Steel began to be purchased from Manchuria, Mongolia and even the United States, but Japan still continued to buy and was unwilling to give up.
These people are mainly responsible for transportation work in the forest company, and to put it bluntly, they are dock supervisors, but after going to work today, they immediately felt that something was wrong with the eyes around them, and they felt strange in their hearts, and they were usually good to the workers. Hurriedly pulled a partner and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The partner sighed: "Haven't read the newspaper yet?" Hey, don't mention it, this time we're going to have to pick up our tails and live for a while. ”
"What? Could it be that the fight started again? This kind of look around only appeared during the incident between Han Yeping and Dongying, so everyone thought that Zhongri was fighting somewhere again: "It's okay, it will stop in a few days." ”
"Stop? It's not that simple, this time the Japanese abducted the emperor to Lushun, and the newspapers said that they were going to build a state there. ”
"What!"
"Don't ask me, I just read the newspaper and found out. Made, these Japanese are really trying to split our country, and in my opinion, there will be a big battle this time. ”
"A big fight with the Japanese?! Even Russia was defeated, isn't this looking for death. ”
"Whatever, maybe that Yang Qiu will be obedient if he is beaten, so as not to always find trouble and trouble us."
"You can't say that, and Japan isn't at ease."
"What's wrong with not being well-intentioned? I don't owe you or my wages, whoever gives me food will follow him. ”
Various arguments began to emerge in Nanjing, including those who were worried that the war would destroy the current domestic peace, those who said that Japan was too ambitious and should be taught a lesson, those who said that Yang Qiu was too rampant and deserved to be beaten by the Japanese, and even more that Manchu and Mongolia were all inhabited by foreign races in Fanbang, and if they were gone, they would be gone, as long as they could keep the Guannai.
In the face of so many bizarre arguments, Tang Shaoyi is also very worried, the Sino-German joint military exercise has not yet ended, and the Xihuamen incident has emerged again, and if it is not handled well, it is likely to destroy the stable situation that has been forcibly put together.
Facts have proved that Yang Qiu's forcible method is still effective, although the powerful military force and ruthless methods have made many people hate him, but the benefits of the smooth central government decree, especially the central government's rent and interest reduction decree issued by the central government after the land reform in Henan, have been implemented almost immediately, even the most stubborn landlords have to consider the consequences of resisting the new policy ().
Tax reform, political reform, public bond issuance, etc., the efficiency is far higher than that of the Kuomintang and Beiyang when they were in power, although everyone knows that most people are not really supportive, but there is no one who dares to blatantly resist, even if someone stands up to oppose it, it will be sent to prison within a few days by all kinds of corruption and criminal evidence that suddenly appeared.
The National Society has become an extraordinary behemoth, especially young people are proud to join the National Society, I am afraid no one knows how many interests are entangled in it, and the National Society Youth Association represented by Dai Tianqiu and Chen Guofu has faintly become the pillar of the country, and the four central guard divisions are all the children of the Youth Officer Group, radical and iron-blooded with Yang Qiu's speeches and actions again and again have left an indelible imprint on them, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so before, But as the exercise and the Xihuamen incident erupted, fears began to emerge about handing over a large country of 40,000 citizens to a group of young people in their early twenties.
For example, in this crisis, the young people of the National Society unanimously demanded that Japan be severely punished, shouting and shouting to kill, which made Tang Shaoyi and them particularly worried. Therefore, except for Wu Tingfang, who went to Beijing with Yang Qiu, the other ministers all received phone calls and rushed to the meeting, even Zhang Taiyan, who has rarely appeared recently to concentrate on the deployment of schools throughout the country, came, and the Ministry of National Defense also sent two important figures, Song Ziqing and Sa Zhenbing.
Zhang Taiyan has been obsessed with education for more than a year, constantly building primary and secondary schools all over the country, establishing various technical schools, and also running abroad several times to contact teachers, except for reaching out to ask for money, he rarely shows up, but this does not mean that he does not understand the current situation, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Song Ziqing: "Ziqing, you are the chief of the General Staff, and the vice president can trust you to directly control the whole ** team and the National Guard, I want to ask why this happened?" ”
He is a famous big mouth, even Mr. Zhongshan dares to scold to his face, but his temper has not changed after engaging in education, and the problem is directed at the distrust of the military, because in his opinion, the little emperor is such an important person, how can he be taken away by a few gangsters when he should have been closely protected?
Song Ziqing had already received Yang Qiu's secret message, and after knowing the reason why the reaction speed of the troops was so slow this time, he said: "There is no big reason, it is just that the troops are insufficient ()." He told Duan Qirui about the order to transfer half of the soldiers to meet Yan Xishan, and also put a piece of information on the table: "We have reason to suspect that Duan Qirui is likely to have something to do with this, because there are already informants who have reported that the person who drove the black car yesterday was his brother-in-law Wu Guangxin's Ma Ben." ”
Hearing that Wu Guangxin's Ma Ben was also involved, everyone around him immediately talked about it, and Tang Shaoyi said after reading it: "It's okay to leave this matter to the Ministry of State Security, I now want to know what we should do if we are Manmeng?" ”
Everyone understands the meaning of this sentence, Manchurian and Mongolian are clearly Japan, if Manchu and Mongolia declare independence, the central government will inevitably send troops to clear up, and conflicts with Japan will also be inevitable, the first two times the Japanese government and military have already forbearably returned, and now they have three divisions and nearly 50,000 troops in Kwantung Prefecture and Korea, and they are fully capable of fighting a big war. The performance of the Japanese army in the Russo-Japanese War, even Sa Zhenbing was not very confident, and looked at Song Ziqing with his eyes.
"This is a national compulsory military bill drawn up by the General Staff Department, and the vice president hopes that Congress and the government will study and pass and implement this bill as soon as possible, and once it comes into force, we will be able to maximize the shortage of troops." Song Ziqing was confident, took out the prepared bill and said: "Of course, we will not expand the army at will, this must strictly abide by the country's economic capacity, as for your question, Prime Minister, I just want to say six words." ”
"Territory, non-negotiable!"
With his words, everyone immediately understood that Yang Qiu seemed to be preparing to fight this battle, but even Zhang Wenjing and Zhang Taiyan, who were the most staunch supporters of him, were not optimistic about the prospects of the war against Japan, so they could only secretly be anxious and hate that he would come back immediately and persuade him.
Only Cai Yuanpei seemed to be still stuck in this strange matter, and suddenly interjected and asked: "Ziqing, according to your last trip, the vice president was supposed to arrive in Beijing three days before the departure of the incident, why was he suddenly stranded in Jinan?" Song Ziqing's eyebrows jumped twice, there are still smart people in the secret way, but even if he knows without evidence, he can only guess for the rest of his life, so he came up with a good excuse: "The vice president is tired and sick for days." ”
The illness is really timely.
