83. Strength
The cold wind swept through the dilapidated Tokyo Bay, and countless Japanese who were unable to receive relief materials during the Great Kanto Earthquake shivered in the cold wind, and people's eyes were full of confusion and despair, and desolate cries could be heard from time to time among the ruins.
Although China did not attack Gulf of Tonkin during the war, the losses caused by the war to Gulf of Tonkin were no less than the damage caused by the war. The Great Kanto Earthquake was devastating in the area of Tokyo, where one-tenth of Japan's population was concentrated, but more than eighty percent of millions of people were left homeless, because of the war, they could not obtain supplies from the world, and the injuries and illnesses could not be effectively treated, and the huge casualties caused by the war were no less than a war.
"Ship !!" I don't know who screamed, and the voice was full of surprise.
Countless people looked at the sea surface of Tokyo Bay with the sound, and saw the black and oppressive fleet of ships approaching on the sea, and countless people couldn't help but let out cheers, and more and more people poured onto the dock, and finally there was life in their eyes.
However, as the fleet approached, the Japanese on the dock fell silent.
The five-color flag, the fleet is actually the five-color flag of the Chinese.
In order to prevent the Chinese from provoking another conflict and war, the Japanese military was quickly instructed to quickly dispatch troops to disperse the civilians and vacate the docks, while sending people to negotiate with the Chinese fleet.
"China and Japan have a long history of being separated by a strip of water, and now that the war has ended and the blockade has been lifted, trade is of course going on normally."
"Yes, for the sake of friendship between China and Japan, we have deliberately sent Japan's most urgently needed food, winter clothes and medicine to Japan as soon as possible. War is an act of the state, but it does not hinder the friendship of our people. ”
"Get out of the way, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu making money."
Japan sent people to consult, and although the Chinese merchant ships spoke in different tones, they were indeed carrying the materials that Japan urgently needed. The news that the Chinese had brought life-saving supplies also aroused the joy of the vast number of Japanese people in Tokyo, which was the hope of survival.
"Do the Chinese really want to help the empire?" Emperor Hirohito frowned, the arrival of the Chinese caravan was too surprising to him. Although Hirohito had changed the emperor's name to "Emperor Wa" in accordance with Emperor Taisho's will, he did not think that China would easily let Japan go and would have such good intentions. The Duke of Xiyuan Temple said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Chinese are doing this entirely for money. ”
Emperor Hirohito said suspiciously: "Money? What's going on? ”
Xiyuan Temple Gongwang sighed: "The materials exported by the Chinese are ten times the normal international price. Your Majesty, what is the best money to make? That is the national disaster. Due to the Tokyo earthquake and the blockade of supplies in China, there was a severe shortage of materials in Tokyo, and the consequence was that prices soared, and materials such as food and medicine were almost priceless, and some even increased dozens of times. People are willing to give everything in order to survive. ”
Emperor Hirohito's face was ugly: "Dozens of times? What Aiqing means is that even if the Chinese raise prices tenfold, the price is still lower than Tokyo's inflationary goods, and they can get ten times the profit by selling these goods? ”
The Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple smiled bitterly and said, "No, Your Majesty." Prices have risen tenfold, and the profits they have made have increased once upon a time, and that may be tens or hundreds of times the profits. When the Chinese side lifts the blockade, the fastest to get the news is, of course, the Chinese, and the fastest to ship goods to the empire must be the Chinese. Judging from the current situation, the top level of the Chinese side knows very well that even if they do not sell these materials, the great powers will sell them to the empire, and sooner or later they will turn against the great powers, so why should they let such a high-profit trade be handed over to the great powers? As long as it changes hands, they can use this money to buy more than ten times as many materials from the world. ”
Hirohito's face is very ugly, and the Chinese side is also a naked conspiracy. Just imagine, if a commodity that was originally worth one ocean is now sold for ten oceans, if the cost of the commodity is nine cents, how many times the profit will it be? Not tenfold, but a hundredfold.
This kind of ultra-lucrative trade is time-limited, and once the Japanese government organizes large orders of goods from the world, it will quickly be able to keep prices down. Of course, the Japanese government can also collect private funds through such orders for disaster relief, so as to achieve the goal of enriching the national treasury and quickly recovering its vitality. Japan has actually done this, but Japan does not know when the Chinese side will lift the blockade, and their ships dare not move, so they cannot transport the supplies back before the Chinese fleet, but they have achieved the goal of collecting money for the Chinese side.
The war drained Japan's treasury, and this trade will collect the wealth of the Japanese people who are rushing to buy supplies in order to survive.
But can Japan object? No. If China destroys Sino-Japanese trade, it is entirely possible that China will provoke a new conflict, and Japan's previous forbearance will be in vain.
Can Japanese civilians refuse? No. Compared with inflation leading to more than ten times or even dozens of times the price, China's exports of materials are "too cheap".
Emperor Hirohito understood this very well, gritted his teeth and said, "Can you stop it?" ”
Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said bitterly: "No." No one can guarantee that there will be another conflict that will lead to another blockade by China. If they don't buy it now in case of another conflict that leads to a lockdown, many people will freeze to death, starve to death, die of disease. ”
Emperor Hirohito gritted his teeth and said, "We can tell the subjects of the empire that we will never let this happen." ”
Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said lightly: "Your Majesty can really guarantee it?" As everyone knows, 'there is no excuse for the crime that you want to add', and the empire does not have the strength to make a guarantee. ”
Emperor Hirohito's face turned blue and white for a while, and the thought of the current situation and China's expanding strength almost made him breathless.

"If a country wants to recover quickly, it must have sufficient financial support. Our trick is to 'draw wages from the bottom of the kettle', completely turning little Japan into abject poverty, even if we can't clean up little Japan, there are only leftovers leftovers. Hey, hey, hey. ”
In the conference room of the Provisional Presidential Palace, Wu Wei smiled proudly at Li Bufan, Duan Qirui, Yang Yongtai, Xu Shuzheng, and Tang Shaoyi. But his laughter made people feel creepy when they heard it, especially Duan Qirui, who was almost getting goosebumps all over his body.
Wu Di said with a smile: "I think he still has some strength to toss in little Japan." When the great powers saw this state of affairs, they were afraid and worried that the aid would be like a meat bun beating a dog -- there would be no return. It's a pity, it's really that our current strength is not strong enough, and the great powers don't want Little Japan to collapse, otherwise Lao Tzu would have to let our army have a 'three-light policy' on the mainland of Little Japan. ”
Xu Shuzheng was surprised: "Military advisor? What is the Three-Light Policy? ”
Wu Di rolled his eyes and said, "Old Xu, can you be a little similar?" You were able to recover Outer Mongolia in the first place? I don't know about the 'three-light policy'? That is to burn all, kill all, and rob all of them. Originally, this trick was invented by the Japanese and was going to be used against our China."
Li Bufan saw that Wu Di began to run the train with his mouth full again, for fear that this guy would leak his mouth, so he immediately interrupted Wu Di's words and said, "Okay." After such a series of operations, our strategic objectives have been basically achieved. Pushing people too much may cause the dog to jump off the wall. According to our information, Britain and France, because of the strategy of the United States, in order to avoid excessive loss of vitality, have prepared to compromise with our country, and the abolition of the unequal treaties will be a matter of course, if there is no accident. If nothing else, the countries will soon have to quickly establish diplomatic relations with us, followed by the formal election of the president, and then the abrogation of the unequal treaties negotiated with the great powers in the name of a full national government. ”
Duan Qirui nodded and said, "In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, then we should also relieve the military pressure on the Indochina Peninsula, right?" ”
Li Bufan said categorically: "Absolutely not." If the treaty is not abolished, we must maintain military pressure, which is a show of strength. What we want is not only to abolish the unequal treaties, but also to make it clear to the whole world that the Western powers are afraid of us and our strength. By doing this, we want to tell the world that if the world only believes that truth is within the range of a cannon, then we will show the world a cannon. This is not only a victory in diplomatic negotiations, but also a sign of our country's strength, and it will also establish the self-confidence and dignity of our Chinese people. We want all our compatriots to know that the Western powers are afraid of our bayonets, afraid of our artillery, and that as long as we are united, we will have invincible power! ”
Wu Di looked at Li Bufan, who waved his arms with a powerful posture, and suddenly found that Li Bufan at this moment was no longer a small officer who fled back then and a lucky and nouveau riche who accidentally seized his crossing equipment, this is a real military strongman, a young leader with the momentum of the world and unparalleled courage, his speech and demeanor show a kind of mind of the sun and the moon, and the infinite domineering spirit in his hands.
As the Nanjing Provisional Government finalized its strategic decision, the situation in the Far East seemed to calm down in an instant.
The Chinese army gradually withdrew from Japan, albeit slowly, only a regiment in a few days, but it was indeed withdrawing.
With the completion and rapid start of construction of the Siam-Bangkok railway connecting Yunnan to Kunming under diplomatic and military threats from China, and the stationing of 500,000 Chinese troops in Yunnan, the Chinese side no longer had military provocations and instead threw itself into large-scale construction.
The cooperation between the Provisional Government of Nanjing and the Rothschilds in China has also gradually unfolded, under the premise of mutual benefit and reciprocity, China has obtained a large number of "smuggling" of advanced equipment and important equipment parts, even in winter, the industrial zone planned by the Provisional Government of Nanjing, China, almost every day there are factories built and put into operation, with the advent of "peace", many Jewish technicians because of the wave of Western anti-Semitism into China, so that China's industrial development by leaps and bounds.
China has risen unstoppably, the Western powers have had to recognize the existence of this military power with millions of troops, they have established diplomatic relations, and China has gradually begun preparations for a formal government
