Li Bufan's plan for a 300,000-strong navy was announced internally, shocking all the top brass.

300,000 navy, what kind of concept is that, even the British active naval officers and men plus logistics personnel are only a few hundred thousand. And who doesn't know that the Navy is a gold-eating beast? To raise the 300,000 navy, that is simply greater than the pressure to raise 2 million troops, and China cannot afford it with its financial pressure, let alone invest in the construction of a large number of warships.

Duan Qirui is about to take over the official presidency, and he was naturally informed of this, although Duan Qirui also believes that the navy should be strengthened, but it is not such a strengthening law. On the spot, he was anxious to find Li Bufan and Wu Di's theory.

"It's a ridiculous expansion." Duan Qirui said bitterly, "Except for the navy, don't other troops and officials want to live?" Tell me, where did we get all this money? ”

Li Bufan saw that Duan Qirui was simply angry, and immediately smiled: "Don't worry, Duan Lao, didn't we get a billion oceans of compensation?" Besides, the formation of the navy is far more complicated and difficult than that of the army, and in fact, half of the 300,000 are marines who are trained by the whole army. ”

"Marines?" Duan Qirui said thoughtfully, "I know the Marine Corps, do you need more than 100,000 people?" As far as I know, even in the UK, there are only tens of thousands of marines. Hundreds of thousands of marines, what do you want to do? ”

Wu Di said with a smile: "Old Duan, although there are more than 100,000 marines, there are only three divisions and less than 50,000 people in the real formation, and the rest are logistics personnel and supplementary soldiers. That is, each division is actually equipped with about 50,000 personnel. It is a great pity that due to the tight time, we have no way to gradually and systematically develop the Marine Corps, so we can only select more than 100,000 officers and men who understand water to train according to the procedures of the Marine Corps, and then select the elite, hoping to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. There are many islands in the South China Sea, and the Marine Corps will be the main force in landing operations and island operations. ”

Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng glanced at each other, they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, and Xu Shuzheng said in a deep voice: "You are still preparing to go south to fight against the great powers?" ”

Xu Shuzheng is an excellent general, so he can naturally understand that when Japan has been beaten down, Li Bufan's goal of expanding the scale of the navy can only be the south, and as for Soviet Russia in the north, as early as the few broken ships in the Far East, they were not taken into account at all.

Li Bufan said lightly: "To fight in the south, it is imperative to expel the strong columns." ”

Duan Qirui said dissatisfiedly: "Li Bufan, haven't you already cooperated with the Rothschilds to induce the Western powers to give up their interests in China with the plan of 'leading the water to the north'. Even if you plan to go south in the future, you can't be so blatantly startled. ”

Li Bufan sneered: "The game of interests is fundamentally related to the competition of strength. If we don't have enough strength to put it there, even if the great powers approve the plan of 'bringing disaster to the north', will they be willing to give up their huge interests in China? We need to build momentum and give the great powers the posture that we want to go south in a big way to protect our interests, so that the great powers will weigh the benefits and disadvantages, and let them know that once they fight us, they will pay far more than they get, so that they will give up their interests in China, so that we will go north, and let us and the red empire of Soviet Russia consume each other. Fighting and plotting, and this 'plot' is based on strength. This is a conspiracy, and it is also a conspiracy. ”

Wu Di smiled dryly: "300,000 navy, I think even if the British know about it, they will also be scared of the six gods." He laughed dryly.

Duan Qirui couldn't describe the madness of Li Bufan and Wu Enemy in words, but now that the military was completely in the hands of Li Bufan, he had to say bitterly: "Bufan, I know that you are a military wizard, but we should be down-to-earth and step by step." I think we should deal with Japan's affairs first and not be so ambitious. ”

Wu Di smiled dryly: "Old Duan, your 'so ambitious' is not the right word, it should be more appropriate to use 'far-sighted'." Does Japan still deserve to be our opponent? It can be erased afterwards if we want to. Keeping it is just a little hope, a little expectation, to the great powers. The reason why we are now entangled with Little Japan is to create a million stick army puppet time, these stick army is the main force to deal with Little Japan, and we can even spend a single soldier. ”

Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng's hearts were shocked, they suddenly understood that Li Bufan insisted on turning Koreans into Japanese Koreans, and transported the sticks of the Korean Peninsula to Japan by various transport ships day and night, and they were simply preparing to let Little Japan and the sticks kill each other, and when they arrived on the island, the sticks had no way out, plus the blood feud between them, then there was no doubt that the whole of Japan would become a sea of corpses and blood. Li Bufan did this, if the great powers came to Japan's aid, then Li Bufan would undoubtedly come to the aid of the sticks, and make every effort to keep the Japanese and the sticks evenly matched on the Japanese mainland, and shed their blood

Thinking of this, Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng both felt a strange chill rise in their hearts

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The Imperial Palace of the Emperor of Japan looks gloomy.

Yama Prefecture Aritomo, Togo Heihachiro, and Uchida Yasuya met with Emperor Taisho, and because of the assassination incident, the Chinese side insisted on the head of the Japanese emperor, and appeared aggressive. Originally, if Japan instigated a diplomatic operation, the imperial families of Europe and the United States would not allow this situation to happen, not to save the life of the Japanese emperor, but to prevent similar incidents from happening in Europe in Japan, for their own sake and the future, but the Japanese Emperor Taisho vetoed this proposal.

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't understand why Your Majesty gave up this suggestion. Even if His Majesty is willing to sacrifice for the country, this is a great shame for the Empire. ”

Emperor Taisho came to Hirohito's hand, his eyes fell on the "Chrysanthemum Saber" on the edge of the throne, shook his head imperceptibly, and sighed: "For the survival of the empire, I must die, and I must die humiliatingly." Only in this way can such an impudent request by Shina violate the taboo of the entire world royal family and become the public enemy of the imperial family. In this way, for a considerable period of time, as long as they have the intention of destroying the empire, they will trigger a collective backlash from the world's royal families, so as to ensure the survival and security of the empire for a considerable period of time. ”

Heihachiro Togo said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty sacrifices himself for the country, and the ministers admire him very much. If Liu Fan, the president of China, does such a thing, it is bound to anger the entire world royal group. Although the royal family in Europe and the United States has almost lost its power, it is still a symbolic leader with unimaginable influence. If it is properly operated, it may not be able to incite the entire Western world to encircle and suppress China, and as long as China is defeated in this encirclement and suppression, and its vitality is greatly damaged, then there is still hope for the empire to make a comeback, and the glory of the emperor will live forever. ”

Emperor Taisho laughed miserably: "After me, there is no emperor." The emperor was jealous of the Central Plains Dynasty, and as long as the emperor existed, it was imperative that he forget Japan. Finally, I issued a decree that from now on, the imperial family will never be able to call the 'Emperor' and change the name to 'Emperor Wa'! ”

"Your Majesty!" Yama Prefecture Aritomo and Togo Heihachiro were taken aback, and hurriedly said to Hirohito: "His Royal Highness the Prince" but the next words could not be spoken, because they saw Hirohito's expression, which was not surprised, and it was obviously deliberate. looked at Yasuya Uchida again, although he was sad, but there was no surprise on his face, which made them speechless.

Emperor Taisho said lightly: "I have made up my mind, and I don't need to persuade again." After a pause, he continued, "Before I return to heaven, there is one more thing to do. ”

"Wait for death!" Yama Prefecture Aritomo, Togo Heihachiro, and Uchida Yasuya knelt on the ground.

Emperor Taisho suddenly reached out and grabbed the "Chrysanthemum Saber", as if touching his lover, his expression seemed to fall into memory: "Yamachi-kun, you are over 80 years old this year, since the Meiji Restoration, you have been serving the empire, building a modern imperial army, personally risking arrows to win the 'Sino-Japanese War', defeating the world's old power Imperial Russia, and making great achievements for the empire, even if you are called the 'father of the army' of the Japanese Empire." ”

Youpeng in Shan County also seemed to fall into memories, remembering the eventful years of the past, but the fiasco of the Sino-Japanese War sounded this time, and he couldn't help but cry: "Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting for ten thousand deaths." This time, the boat capsized in the gutter, burying the great future of our Japanese Empire, and it is difficult to escape the blame for the death of the ministers. ”

"Then you're going to die!" Emperor Taisho suddenly seemed to be a different person, and threw the "chrysanthemum saber" in his hand in front of Yama Prefecture Youtomo.

Such a drastic change, not only Yama Prefecture Youtomo, but even Togo Heihachiro and Uchida Yasuya were stunned, and at this moment, they suddenly realized the ancient Chinese saying - a companion is like a tiger. That's too much of a change, isn't it? Even if the legendary face flipping is faster than turning the book, it's at this level.

There are friends in Shanxian who are shocked and angry, but he has seen the wind and waves, and he quickly calmed down, and still said respectfully: "Since ancient times, 'the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die'. His Majesty wants the minister to die, naturally there is a reason for His Majesty, and the minister just hopes that His Majesty can make the minister die blindly. Still, the implication is a great deal of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction.

Emperor Taisho said lightly: "I know that you are not convinced. I didn't hesitate to use my head to appease Zhi's anger, but if I died like this, did Zhi's anger really calm it? This assassination was instigated by the army, and you, Shan County, are responsible for presiding over all the affairs of the army, in order to preserve the vitality of the empire, let China withdraw as soon as possible, Shan County, please go to Huangquan with me! ”

Youpeng in Shan County couldn't say a word, his face turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground all of a sudden.

Heihachiro Togo and Yasuya Uchida's faces were pale, and they couldn't help but feel a sad feeling of the dead rabbit and fox in their hearts.

But Emperor Taisho regarded it as if he had not seen it, and said loudly: "Xuan! Ambassadors to Japan meet you! ”

On November 11, 1923, Singles' Day, under the pressure of the situation, Emperor Taisho of Japan summoned envoys from various countries to announce the restructuring and abolish the "emperor system".

In accordance with Emperor Taisho's edict, Crown Prince Hirohito cut off the head of Emperor Taisho, put it up, and sent it to China in the presence of everyone to quell the impact of the "Li Bufan Assassination Incident".

ps: Singles' Day is coming soon, I hope that the singles' book friends will act quickly, the singles who have not confessed will confess, stretch out their heads and slash their heads, and shrink their heads is also a knife, look at the little Japanese emperor in the book, how many singles he died. Rattle.
