"Xiaomei, what's wrong? The face is so ugly...... It can't be seasickness, right? ”

Chang Ruiqing's voice pulled Sun Yuexun out of extreme shock, she first shook her head, then nodded, and smiled awkwardly: "Sir, I'm fine, it's okay...... Oh, there's a secret message, I just translated it. ”

She handed Chang Ruiqing the translation of the telegram. Chang Ruiqing took the translation and scanned it at a glance, then sneered and said: "Lao Maozi will make wishful thinking, and the Japanese are not fools, how can they be led by the nose?" ”

"Sir, but that Katayama ......"

"An old fool, and Japan can't take his turn to take power, how can he be led to jump into the fire pit?" Chang Ruiqing smiled as he got dressed. Sun Yuexun also smiled, covered up that worried mind, jumped up and jumped to Chang Ruiqing's side to serve him to get dressed, but was hugged in his arms by the great revolutionary who turned into a pervert, kissed him, and asked with a lewd smile on his face: "Xiaomei, your appearance last night was awesome, it's just not like the first time, honestly, have you been trained?" ”

"Femdom?" Sun Yuexun blinked her eyes, and her little face turned red. said in an inaudible voice: "Sister Xiang'er and the third sister taught me ......"

"Really?" Chang Ruiqing asked with a smile. "You didn't lie to me, did you? I'll ask them later, and I'll find out. If you lie, you will be punished. ”

Sun Xiaomei pursed her lips and looked at this Chang Da revolutionary, who had become a strange Shu Huang, and didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to nod her head with a red face, and let her two big hands touch and rub it very unruly......

……

At this time, in the south of Boli City, the second largest city in Japan's Far Eastern State, across the river from China, a series of places that can be called slums, and the complex alleys that are intertwined and intertwined make it seem like a labyrinth, completely different from the spacious and tidy Boli urban area, which is completely supplemented by Western style. The residents living here are also different from those in the city of Boli, they are not Japanese pioneers, but so-called overseas Chinese. In two words. It's because they're not really Chinese either. Most of the people who live here are Koreans who fled from Korea, the Far Eastern Republics, or China!

Before the Korean Revolution of Independence, they were subjects of the Japanese Empire, the hegemon of East Asia, and although they were inferior to the authentic Japanese everywhere, they would not pretend to be Chinese. But now. They're truly Asia's number one pariahs! Japan's reign in the Korean Dominion was a dark reign without a day. There are too many exorbitant taxes to count, and all social benefits have been abolished. In the name of suppressing the rebels, millions of strong men were captured from all over Korea and transported to the Far East to bear the hardest and heaviest labor...... Therefore, all the North Koreans who have a little way out of the way are trying to get out of the Korean Peninsula. At first, it was to China. But China is also a great power now, although it is not very rich, but it has also learned from other powers to set up an immigration bureau and issue ID cards to ordinary people. They have no way to gain a foothold in the Northeast without an ID card. As a result, they had to flee again to the relatively loosely managed Japanese Far Eastern Prefecture to pose as Chinese laborers -- fortunately, the Far Eastern Prefecture was now also in urgent need of labor for construction, so the Japanese turned a blind eye to these Koreans who claimed to be Chinese.

Thereupon. Gradually, on the outskirts of most of the cities in the Far East, this so-called "Chinatown" was formed, which was dominated by North Koreans. In the midst of a chaotic mix of houses in Burleigh's "Chinatown," there is a small house that has been rented by a few young people who have just been smuggled in from China. They seem to be real Chinese, they can speak Chinese very fluently, and they all seem to be well educated -- such people should be very comfortable in China at the moment, but they all claim to be "banner people" and have fled to the Far East because of the "Manchu counter-revolutionary group case" and have fled to the Far East to take refuge. That makes sense. They also have some Japanese friends who come here from time to time to have drinks with them.

The surrounding Korean neighbors all stayed away from these Chinese flag men who had Japanese friends, and they did not dare to complain about the Japanese masters who turned them into pariahs. Therefore, these Chinese flag men who have Japanese friends are also stained with the light of the Japanese. It's very safe in this slum where security is pretty bad.

Today, there seems to be another party going on in this small house. It was a new Japanese man named Takeda Heng, who was the head of the Boli branch of the Japanese National Socialist Party. Takeda arrived. All the doors and windows of this small house were closed, and there was a young man with a banner standing guard outside. Inside the house. All of them sat around two large tables, and all of them had sad expressions on their young flat faces. I don't know who it was, but he took the lead in speaking in a low and fierce voice, and when he opened his mouth, it was actually in Korean: "In the current situation, does our Korean nation still have hope and a future?" ”

Another, more explosive voice immediately picked up: "Syngman Rhee, please cheer up!" The Korean independence movement has only suffered some setbacks, and such setbacks will only make the Korean nation stronger! Future victories must belong to the strong Korean nation! Saying that, this person turned his head to look at the Japanese young man and said loudly: "Jin Hengjijun, didn't you say that you have seen the hope of independence and recovery?" Just speak up and listen! Let us all see a little hope! ”

It turned out that this Takeda Heng was the Comrade Kim Hyung-gi who made outstanding contributions to the liberation of the Korean people in history. Katayama asked him to impersonate a die-hard Japanese expatriate, and he joined the Japanese National Socialist Party, and then sent him to the Far East to develop the organization. The others in this room were young leaders of the Korean independence movement who had successfully escaped capture by the Japanese army. Including Syngman Rhee, Kim Zuozhen, Kim Won-bong, Lu Yun-hyung, Cho Wan-sik and others.

Takeda Heng stood up and glanced at everyone with a deep gaze. "Gentlemen, before starting a new struggle for independence, we should first sum up the lessons of the failure of the last independence revolution." He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "Last time we were almost about to succeed, but we failed because of the betrayal of the Chinese!" He also made the entire Korean nation a slave, and nearly 2 million compatriots were captured by the Japanese and put into concentration camps, doing extremely heavy labor day and night! The culprit of this qiē is the Chinese! ”

"That's right! It is these cunning Chinese who have enslaved us for thousands of years in addition to attacking us, and the current Manchuria was taken away by the Chinese from our ancestors! ”

"We must not forget this hatred. When North Korea becomes independent and strong in the future, it must ask China for blood debts! ”

"That's right! Pay the blood debt! Reconquest! ”

Seeing this scene of indignation, Takeda Heng nodded with satisfaction and sneered: "If you want to repay the blood debt, you don't need to wait until the independence of Korea!" Because the process of our independence is the process of shedding the blood of the Chinese and the Japanese. Only these two peoples have lost both. The day when our North Korea dominates East Asia, what do you think? ”

"This ...... Is it possible? Don't China and Japan have a non-aggression pact? ”

Takeda Heng laughed wildly: "What a non-aggression pact, just a piece of waste paper!" Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news for you. Japan's crown prince, Hirohito, has accepted an invitation from Lenin, chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union, to visit the Soviet Union early next year, first by ship to Vladivostok, and then by train along the Trans-Siberian Railway to Moscow, passing through Boli on the way. If he was assassinated by Chinese intelligence services on the territory of the Far Eastern State. What are the consequences? ”

"Is it to assassinate Hirohito and avenge the death of his fellow Koreans?"

"Revenge?" Takeda Hyung glanced at Kim Sa-jin, who was speaking. He sneered and said, "Of course revenge must be avenged!" But not now, so we have to launch an assassination attempt, but we can't really kill Hirohito, not even a single hair, because he still has to visit the Soviet Union! With a heart full of rage! ”

……

December 25, 1922, Christmas Day, just south of Bangkok, the capital of Siam, Bangkok Harbor East Port.

The heavy cruiser Haitian and the light cruiser Yingrui, which escorted the ship, rolled up snow-white waves. Slowly sailed into the harbor. Siam is one of Chang Ruiqing's "stops" on his way to Europe, and he originally wanted to invite King Rama VI of Siam to visit China last year, but it was stranded for various reasons. This time, when the Siamese side heard that Chang Ruiqing was going to visit Europe, they asked him to "pass through" Bangkok and meet with King Rama VI by the way. Have a light meal at the Grand Palace in Bangkok. Chang Ruiqing also wanted to take this opportunity to win over Siam, the third independent country in Asia after China and Japan, so he happily accepted the invitation.

Both ships were filled with well-dressed naval officers and men, who lined up on one side of the ship. Quite like some elite divisions. And the cruiser Haitian, with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, is not a big ship in the eyes of such a naval power as Britain, the United States, France and Japan, but for the weak Siamese Navy. It's already an amazing ship! Even if all the ships of the Siamese Navy were allowed to come up and fight the Haitian together, it would probably be the result of total annihilation -- the navy of the Kingdom of Siam, which had taken decades in history and received great assistance from Japan, was completely destroyed by a French light cruiser!

Chang Ruiqing and Bai Chongxi were both standing in the bridge of the Haitian, holding binoculars and looking at the qiē in front of them.

The port of Bangkok was in front of them. In the eyes of the 20s of the 20th century, this is a fairly modern port. In addition to a few bulk carriers carrying grain, the port also had the entire home of the Siamese Navy - a second-hand protective cruiser bought from England, still coal-fired steam-powered, a few old gunboats that also burned coal, and a few slightly newer torpedo boats. And all the ships looked rusty and never seemed to have been well maintained, in stark contrast to the brand-new Hawkinson-class heavy cruiser Haitian.

The wharf was bustling with coolies, sailors, passengers, and all sorts of people, and there were all kinds of sounds mixed together, and there was a faint sound of drums playing in unison. Chang Ruiqing just looked at this qi quietly, and Bai Chongxi suddenly said next to him: "Do you see it?" The team to greet us has arrived. The pomp and circumstance seems to be not small, could it be that their king himself came? ”

With a finger as he spoke, Chang Ruiqing's gaze also turned away. Sure enough, I saw that soldiers in red military uniforms had begun to clear the dock, which was the costume of the Siamese Royal Guard, which looked similar to the dress of the British Royal Guard. A huge golden umbrella cover also appeared in Chang Ruiqing's sight, and under the umbrella cover was a fat man in a red military uniform, probably Rama VI, right? Several tall white men accompanied him, some in military uniforms, some in suits, I don't know if it was an adviser to the Siamese royal family, or an ambassador to Britain, France, the United States and other countries?

Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly: "Okay." Two of Asia's three greats are about to meet...... How can those Western devils rest assured if they don't come to see it? ”

Bai Chongxi did not answer. Footsteps sounded outside the bridge, and in a blink of an eye, Chen Shaokuan walked in and gave Chang Ruiqing a military salute. "Bench, the warship will soon be docked, and King Rama VI of Siam has personally come to the dock to greet him."

Chang Ruiqing smiled and said to the two people beside him, "Okay." Then let's go meet this Zheng Bao. The three major independent countries in Asia should still be friendly with each other. ”

……

Kure Gungang, Japan.

This home port of the Japanese Combined Fleet is also heavily guarded today, and it is full of well-groomed Marine officers and men. Carrying a rifle, he pulled the cordon. A number of journalists had already arrived early and were setting up their cameras to capture what was said to be a historic scene from where their future crown prince Hirohito would begin his visit to the Soviet Union.

In Kure Harbor, warships and ships were lined up waiting for the crown prince's review. Ten capital ships, including Nagato, Mutsu, Fuso, Ise, Yamashiro, Hinata, Kongo, Hiei, Haruna, and Kirishima, are all here. These warships were the 10 capital ships that Japan was allowed to keep under the historic Washington Naval Treaty, and all of them were completed by 1922. However, in this time and space, the total tonnage of capital ships that Japan is allowed to retain is 350,000 tons. So, at present, there is also a battle cruiser "Amagi" with a standard displacement of up to 41250 tons, which is already being built at the shipyard in Yokosuka! In addition, a 30,000-ton battle cruiser nominally built for China is also being designed, and if these five battle cruisers eventually join the Japanese Navy, Japan will have at least 16 battleships and battle cruisers after 1930, becoming a naval power on an equal footing with Britain and the United States!

The officers and men of the Japanese Navy are now standing on the side of the ship, their uniforms straight and motionless.

On the battlecruiser "Hiei", a group of high-ranking Japanese civil and military officials gathered in the stern, and the military band of the Japanese Navy was on the side. Ticking and ticking, the melodious music of "Jun's Generation" was played. Two red flags embroidered with sixteen or eighteen chrysanthemums slowly rose, these two flags are slightly different, one is inlaid with white borders, which is the regency flag; There is also a white frame on the outside of the chrysanthemum ornament, which is the crown prince's flag. However, these two flags symbolize the same person - Prince Regent Hirohito!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was ambitious, was now standing in the queue in full uniform. Raise your hand and salute. The flag-raising ceremony was quickly completed, and Prince Hirohito's face was completely expressionless, completely moody, and he did not react to the compliments of the people around him. Until Yoshiichi Tanaka, who had sent him all the way from Tokyo, walked in front of him. He nodded stiffly.

"Tanaka Qing, domestic affairs. I'll leave it all to you. I, the regent, will be solely responsible for the negotiations with the Soviet Union. The Imperial State had to walk on two legs, one for the Navy and the other for the Army. ”

Tanaka Yoshiichi didn't answer, but just looked at the steel giant ships floating around, and said softly: "This is a navy that has been built with all its national strength!" ”

"What? Worried about money? Hirohito asked rhetorically, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Tanaka Yoshiichi just smiled bitterly and nodded: "Your Highness, after all, this cabinet is elected by tens of millions of people with votes, so we can't help but consider the people's affordability!" The plan to expand the navy is already too much for the finances to afford, and if an equally powerful army is built, it will only be ......"

"Are you afraid that the people will not vote for your National Socialist Party?" Hirohito said with a sneer. "Then I'll help you with the election, so you can definitely be elected, right?"

"Your Highness!" Tanaka Yoshiichi frowned and replied loudly, "You are the future emperor, your majesty, and you are a god in the eyes of the people, and gods should not interfere too much in worldly affairs. ”

Hirohito laughed: "I am not a clay wood sculpture in the temple, I am the regent crown prince of the Japanese Empire, of course, I have to consider the stability of the political situation of the empire, this is for the fundamental interests of the country and the people!" All those in power should take a long-term view and put the future and destiny of the entire country first, right? Saying that, his tone was already deep, and his eyes looked at Tanaka with blazing eyes: "This is also the holy will of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"It is the divine will of His Majesty...... The minister got it. "Tanaka Yoshiichi thought to himself, isn't your meaning the regent's meaning the emperor? And there is also a hot-headed army junior officer who is fanning the flames there, and if he is not there in the future, I really don't know what will become of Japan as a country?
