When the Beiyang government came up with the 21st Article, it was Cao Rulin who was negotiating, and he was recognized as a pro-Japanese faction, and was even regarded as a traitor.

However, for Cao Rulin is an exception, Qiao Yu found through observation that this person is not really pro-Japanese, on the contrary, there is a lot of resentment towards Japan, but the situation is forced to do it, and his ability to do things is also good, after some observation, Qiao Yu appointed him as the ambassador to Japan.

Cao Rulin felt the most profound sense of the humiliation imposed on China by Japan at the beginning, and his attitude towards Japan was also the hardest, but the Japanese just ate this set, or the Japanese are very servile, and they have a kind of blind worship for the country that defeated them.

Now there is a wave of Brexit and entry into Asia, which is very different from the Meiji Restoration, and some Japanese dignitaries have begun to abandon suits and wear Chinese-style robes.

Cao Rulin also has his own observations about all this, but the more he thinks about it, the more he despises the Japanese nation, but there is a faint fear in the contempt, Japan's history is not short, and there is a history of more than 1,000 years of civilization, although it cannot be compared with an ancient civilization like China, but it is enough to compare with Britain and France and other countries.

However, such a country has never given birth to a great philosopher, and has never formed its own ideological doctrine, which is a unique thing in history, and ancient countries and nations have always had their own set of unique philosophies, which often carry the distinctive characteristics of a nation.

But Japan, an island nation, did not have it at all, and they completely neutralized the past history, introduced everything from China, and when they realized that China was already backward, they resolutely abandoned the Chinese ideology during the Meiji Restoration. Beginning of total westernization. Leaving Asia and entering Europe, there is no mud and water.

After China defeated Japan again this time and determined its position in East Asia, Japan began to leave Europe and enter Asia without any obstacles, and Japan was like a chameleon, constantly learning from one strong man after another, if Japan has its own philosophy. That is to worship the strong and despise the weak!

This is also evident among the Japanese people, who have become increasingly depressed in the Japanese market after the economic crisis, and a large number of factory owners and investors have gone bankrupt. Even the major chaebols have a hard time, and there are countless Japanese who have jumped off buildings and into the sea, these are the proud sons of the society in the past, and the characters who have repeatedly appeared on the news page, and now a large number of suicides have occurred, and the Japanese society seems very indifferent, and the coldness in the bones makes Cao Rulin feel afraid.

This deformed nation of Japan is a combination of a wolf and a dog, if he is completely conquered. will become an honest watchdog. If you can't, you're a wolf. It may break out and hurt people at any time, Cao Rulin felt a little fortunate in his heart at this time, if it wasn't for the rapid rise of the Sichuan system, which replaced Beiyang, brought China on the road to becoming a strong country, and also thwarted the Japanese Combined Fleet, China continued to be in power by Beiyang, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable, and the old empire will definitely be bitten by this vicious wolf.

But now everything has changed, the initiative has been firmly in China's hands, it depends on how China sends Japan into the abyss of no return, Cao Rulin did not care about the complaints of the staff, the more the Japanese social order collapsed, the more beneficial it was to China's actions.

"You don't have to complain, it's the same in all of Tokyo, but I'll pay a visit to Yoshiichi Tanaka in a moment, and I'll ask him to strengthen the protection of the embassy personnel!"

After Cao Rulin explained some things, he drove directly to visit Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka.

"Mr. Prime Minister, it's been a long time since I came to meet you, it's really rude!"

"Mr. Ambassador is so polite, the door of the Prime Minister's Office is always open to you, and you are always welcome!"

Cao Rulin glanced at Tanaka Yoshiichi, only to see that his hair had also turned a lot gray, and there was no brilliance on his face, obviously this time was not good.

"Mr. Prime Minister, now that the economic crisis has spread all over the world and all countries have been affected, China and Japan, as important neighbors in East Asia, should strengthen cooperation and jointly resolve this crisis."

After the end of the Sino-Japanese War, the prime minister of Reijiro Wakatsuki became a substitute for the dead and was ousted from power, and Yoshiichi Tanaka became the prime minister, but it was not easy for Yoshiichi Tanaka to deal with the mess after the war, and before he could get rid of the shadow of defeat, there were economic crises one after another, and suddenly the Japanese economy showed its original shape, and even if Yoshiichi Tanaka had the ability to go through the sky, he was powerless to reverse the situation.

Now, as soon as he heard that Cao Rulin had actually expressed his willingness to engage in economic cooperation with Japan, his eyes suddenly lit up: China is undoubtedly the largest market in East Asia, and the bad relations between China and Japan have caused Japan to lose this market, and if China can open up to Japan now, it will definitely be able to easily get Japan out of the crisis.

"Mr. Ambassador, what you said is very correct, China and Japan should abandon their past grievances, open their markets to each other, and promote trade, which will help the two countries quickly get out of the crisis!"

"Mr. Prime Minister, now that the crisis continues to develop, China must raise tariffs to protect its own market, and it is impossible to open it to Japan alone, and the Chinese side believes that the root of this economic crisis lies in the old colonial order, Britain and France and other countries occupy too large the international market, and through their privileges have formed a relatively independent group, isolating the goods of other countries from the outside, to solve the crisis, we can only build a global market, all countries compete fairly!"

Cao Rulin's words made Tanaka Yoshiyi nod his head, this economic crisis does have this factor in it, and Japan is also extremely dissatisfied with Britain and France, but it is not that it wants to establish a fair international order, but that Japan hopes to replace it and become a colonial empire.

"Mr. Ambassador, Japan has always wanted to reshape the international order, but it is weak and weak!"

"Mr. Prime Minister, as long as you work hard to find opportunities, there will always be opportunities, such as the former sea coachman, who does not deserve such a huge colony at all, and the islands in the South Seas are all rich areas!"

Cao Rulin directly mentioned the Netherlands, Tanaka Yoshiichi was moved in his heart, to be honest, Japan is now also reflecting, if it wants to expand. Which direction to go? After careful calculation, there are two behemoths on the mainland, China and the Soviet Union, across the Pacific Ocean, the giant of the United States, and Japan sandwiched between the three big guys, and the tragedy in the geographical position is extreme, and there is only one way out in the south.

Nanyang is the best way out for Japan. However, now that the Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan have fallen into the hands of China, and Japan wants to develop southward, it is difficult for Japan to move an inch without China's permission.

However, he also knows that the major policies of the country cannot be decided in one sentence or two, and must be discussed in detail. It is also necessary to find out China's true attitude, in case this is a trap set by China, Japan will be in trouble, and their current family resources are too limited to toss it at all.

Tanaka Yoshiichi asked tentatively: "Mr. Ambassador, although the national strength of the Netherlands is weak, Britain still has huge interests in the Dutch East Indies, and it is almost a common colony of the two countries. I'm afraid I'll offend England! ”

"Mr. Prime Minister. China will share the pressure from the British side, and the rest will depend on your courage in Japan! ”

After Cao Rulin finished explaining. He left the Prime Minister's Office directly, and China has already said everything it needs to say, and the rest is up to Japan's decision.

With the expansion of China's strength, it has felt more and more the overall pressure of Western society, especially China's sale of the Chaoyong to Siam, which has aggravated the dissatisfaction of Britain, France and other countries.

Nowadays, the economic crisis is getting more and more serious, and everyone knows that the most effective way to solve the economic crisis is war, when the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels, the factory can be fully operational, the unemployed people can join the army, and the excess production capacity can also be quickly solved in the war.

At this time, if the West joins forces to attack China in the name of confronting China, then China will become the protagonist of World War II, which is definitely not what Qiao Yu wants, so it is the best choice to push Japan out and let Japan break the military balance in the South Seas, and then China mediate in the middle and balance the power of Britain!

As for whether Japan will accept Qiao Yu or not, I don't care, if Japan still has the ambition to make a comeback, it will definitely accept it, if it doesn't, it will be tantamount to announcing that Japan will be completely removed from the list of great powers, there will be no hope anymore, and China will have one less enemy completely.

At this time, the Japanese government also began urgent consultations on China's proposal to discuss their way out.

At this time, Munich, Germany was also witnessing the rapid rise of a political party, Hitler received financial assistance from China, and the Nazi Party entered the fast lane of development, and the ensuing economic crisis made the development of the Nazi Party mushroom like mushrooms after a rain, and the number of party members expanded rapidly, surpassing Bavaria and becoming a national political party.

It was another dusk evening, Hitler came to the square of Munich surrounded by the closest party members, at this time thousands of people had gathered here, Germany after the end of World War I, the loss of sovereignty, the economy was completely supported by American capital, and now the United States has a problem, the situation in Germany is even worse than that of the United States, more and more people have lost their jobs, what is even more unbearable is the incompetence of the government, and the government can not take any measures in the face of a bad situation, I could only watch countless Germans sleeping on the streets.

In this desperate moment, the Nazi Party was born, giving precious hope to the desperate people.

"Compatriots, great citizens of Germany, Germany is a great nation, we have a glorious history, but today the citizens of Germany are humble and cowardly, living like ants, who has reduced Germany to the point where it is today? Who bears this responsibility? ”

Hitler was full of energy at this time, and his movements were exaggerated and powerful, and he instantly attracted everyone's attention! He continued: "The chief culprit of all this is the unequal treaties imposed on Germany by the Entente; It is a weak and incompetent government that allows the country to fall into the abyss of sin; It's the damned Jews who robbed us of our wealth and jobs!
