In the seas of East Asia, there are very few merchant ships in the open sea, and the changes in the situation in East Asia have poured cold water on the relatively prosperous trade in the Far East.

Throughout the eastern part of Asia, despite all kinds of coincidences, misunderstandings, and political needs, China and the Western countries appear to be peaceful, but in fact there is a secret confrontation, ordinary civilians are naturally unaware, but the high-level officials, businessmen and politicians of all sides feel the palpitating oppression.

China abolished the unequal treaties and introduced fiat currencies to ban the circulation of other currencies, which led to the bankruptcy of banks in China. The reason is very simple, the silver dollar and even other currencies cannot be circulated, so whether it is an individual, a family or a commercial bank, the trade must go to the Chinese bank to exchange fiat currency, for this reason, the banks of various countries directly ushered in the climax of the run. However, even after withstanding the run, they will still not survive, because the changes in the international situation have caused a sharp decline in trade between China and the West, making them even less profitable. In just a few months, there was only one foreign bank left in China -- the Orient International Bank, and its chairman was named Bauer.

The reason for the existence of Orient International Bank is that it has invested in a huge amount of real estate industry in China, and its real estate investment has spread to dozens of cities, with an investment amount of tens of billions of Chinese yuan, and the few foreign trade currency exchanges that still exist are completed by this bank.

China used airborne operations to quickly seize Nagqu and Lhasa, and then the troops of an army were stationed, and Tibet was swept away in more than two months, and the Tibetan provincial government was established. The Western powers were extremely shocked by this, and they had expected to hold China back on the Tibet issue for a year or two, and the only suitable time to approach Tibet was only a few months. Moreover, it was extremely difficult to fight in the oxygen-deficient areas of the plateau, but they never imagined that the Nanjing government of China would directly confiscate all the Tusi and Touren nobles in Tibet, abolish the participation of the living Buddha lamas in political affairs and only exist as a religion, and directly abolish slavery, and distribute the confiscated land, pastures, and most of the cattle and sheep to the Tibetan people, so that the rebels completely lost the support of the people, and the rebel diehards completely collapsed after two months, and more than 20,000 captured rebels were directly thrown on the plateau to build a road into Tibet.

After nearly a century of turmoil, Japan has become desolate. Whether it's a dilapidated city or a village. Even the bones can be seen on the side of the road, all of which tell people that there has been an unprecedented horror of the catastrophe here. According to estimates, there are no more than a million people living on the Japanese archipelago today. Basically North Koreans. And these people are only because of the people in the two fortifications left in the north and south of the island of Honshu when China evacuated. Due to the reliance on fortifications and the Chinese side providing supplies, these two fortifications were never captured by the Japanese who were crazy about the riots during the riots.

Japan doesn't exist anymore. But to whom does this land belong? There was a heated debate between the East and the West.

Although Japan is a devastated place, earthquakes and volcanoes occur frequently, and anyone who lives on it will be afraid. However, this island has extremely special strategic significance in terms of gambling on East Asia, especially in this period, it has extremely high strategic value for the great powers, and if the great powers control Japan, it will be equivalent to obtaining a strategic springboard to deter China and Northeast Asia, and a bridgehead for attack. For China, Japan's geographical location is also very important, not to mention the strategic significance, if Japan falls into China's hands, then China will control the first island chain from Taiwan in the south to the north, then the Whale Sea (Sea of Japan), the Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea will all become China's inland seas, and the islands controlled by the great powers (except for Soviet Russia) will also be more than 2,000 kilometers away from the nearest island chain from the Pacific Ocean, and the other islands will be thousands of kilometers, and it is almost impossible to form an effective landing combat attack. Because the range of the fleet in this period was limited, and the supply of fuel was limited.

Although there are Philippine Islands in the south, if they want to jump and attack the first island chain, in the absence of absolute air supremacy, then the great powers will not be able to bypass Taiwan in the first place, and on the Taiwan side, the Chinese side has stationed nearly 150,000 regular troops of a group army, and with the mainland as its backing, it is even more difficult to seize Taiwan than to ascend to the sky.

"In accordance with international practice, Japan's ownership will be voted on by ballot."

"Joke!" Tang Shaoyi sneered at the shameless faces of the representatives of the great powers. If the international vote is to suppress China with the entire Western world, then what else is there to do with China? As far as the current situation is concerned, who does not know the importance of Japan's strategic location? Li Bufan had already given instructions on the negotiations with Japan -- he was determined to succeed.

Tang Shaoyi remembered the night when Li Bufan and Wu Di discussed this matter with him.

Li Bufan said: "As long as we master the northern section of the first island chain, then in a future war, we only need a small number of air forces, navy and land forces to form a strong and powerful defense line, and this will be the security guarantee of our mainland China." ”

Tang Shaoyi frowned and said: "The great powers obviously understand this, and they will not let us get it easily, if we want to take Japan, it is very likely to cause a conflict, or even a war." ”

Li Bufan said categorically: "Even war will not hesitate." ”

Wu Di said on the side: "It's good to fight, it's now September, our southwest transportation system is basically completed, and the highway and railway from Siam to Kunming will be completed soon." Are we still afraid of him? By the way, what is the biggest festival in the West? ”

Tang Shaoyi was a little confused by Wu Di's sudden appearance of this question at that time, and replied inexplicably: "Christmas and New Year's Day." ”

"Well, yes, that's it." Wu Di said with a cruel smile, "I have decided, we will fight the great powers, and the day of the other party's peace truce will be set on Christmas in the West, and the day when they will officially sign the treaty of ceding land and begging for mercy will be set on New Year's Day, and the next two days will be the armistice day and the snow shame day, eh, boss, is it the snow shame day or the rise day?" Or Victory Day"'

Thinking of this, a strange smile flashed on the corner of Tang Shaoyi's mouth, and he immediately said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Japan still owes my country more than one billion yuan in war reparations, I remember that Russia sold Alaska to the United States for only 7.5 million US dollars, and the United States only obtained more than 20 million US dollars from the Philippines. ”

Conger, Smith, and Hollande shouted on the spot, "This can't be. ”

Conger gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, Japan has not perished, and in this era of civilization, we cannot allow any country to perish. ”

Smith also immediately said: "Yes, this is absolutely not allowed to happen, not to mention that Japan is still an ally of our Entente." ”

Hollande, of course, knew the importance of Japan to the situation in the Far East, and exclaimed on the spot: "Yes. Japan has not perished despite the catastrophe, and there are still millions of Japanese around the world, and as allies, we have a responsibility to help them rebuild their homes and drive out the damned Koreans. ”

Tang Shaoyi said lightly: "The Koreans are also Japanese, when Japan annexed Korea and Korea perished, then the Koreans naturally became Japanese."

At the Nanjing Talks, the representatives of the Chinese side and the representatives of the Western powers did not budge an inch, and both sides wanted to control Japan, an important territory, and to win the battle for the sake of the scriptures. Tang Shaoyi even pointed out that during the Tang Empire in Chinese history, Japan still belonged to the Tang Dynasty, that is, to China, which was quite a bit of a war of Confucianism.

In the base car in the backyard of China's Ministry of National Defense, Li Bufan and Wu Di were looking at the surveillance screen.

Wu Di said angrily: "Boss, our arrangement is almost the same. What are you doing with all this bunch of crap? Just drive the army directly over and take control of Japan. ”

Li Bufan pondered for a while and said: "I think we should take the opportunity to set up a big game and let the great powers jump in to achieve the goal of hitting them hard in one fell swoop." ”

Wu Di was surprised, and then laughed and said, "Boss, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Bufan thought for a while and said: "The initial idea is to let the remaining Koreans vote on their belonging, and at the same time tell them that the great powers are ready to support the Japanese to kill them. ”

Wu Di laughed and said, "Then you still need to talk about it?" Of course, they were crying and shouting to hug our thighs. ”

Li Bufan sneered: "That's right. But we can all imagine that the Great Powers would not agree to this, and they absolutely did not want to see Japan fall into our hands. But our army drove over, what do you think the powers will do? ”

Wu Di immediately said: "The war has begun." What else can I do? ”

Li Bufan looked at Wu Di speechlessly, and scolded in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "You are a pig's head." Do you look at the military deployment of the great powers, is it in place? The 1 million British and Indian colonial troops are still in India, the 300,000 French colonial troops are still in southern Annam, and although the United States has increased its troops in the Philippines, there are only more than 200,000 at present. In such a situation, can they go to war? ”

Wu Di scratched his head, and suddenly shouted in a flash of inspiration: "I know, they will definitely find a way to deter us in order to force us to retreat." ”

Li Bufan laughed a few times and said fiercely: "That's right." If it were me, I would definitely order the ground troops to assemble on the border and even conduct exercises, of course, they also know that the army does not have much advantage, after all, except for our heavy weapons, which are less than theirs, the army's weapons are almost all more advanced than theirs. Therefore, the main reason for their army movement is to show a gesture, and it should be the navy that they want to show off their might. ”

Wu Di nodded and said, "That's right." Although our navy warships are advanced, except for secret radio communications and secret weapons, in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, warships are a little faster than Western warships, and with the scale of our navy, they are completely incomparable with the great powers. There is no doubt that the Great Powers will think that their navy is destined for us. ”

Li Bufan sneered: "Defeating the navy they are proud of is equivalent to defeating their arrogance. So, let's make Japan famous once and become the fuse of this World War II! ”
