At this time, Japan was really in chaos, the disease was severe, the export industry was all stagnant, and the country was in a difficult situation.

And seeing that the number of people in Japan is constantly decreasing and constantly saying that they are being tortured, finally the Japanese cabinet government can not sit still. On the very day that the Chinese government recovered the Belgian concession in China, the crazy Japanese Emperor Taisho was rarely sober, looked at the newspaper and said to the cabinet ministers: "Compared with the survival of Japan, the Chinese concession is irrelevant, and we can also discuss the exchange of drugs and demand redemption from the Chinese government." ”

"Your Majesty, we can't retreat in the Great Japanese Empire." The patriarch of the Japanese cabinet, Saionji Gongwang, howled and cried.

The young and vigorous regent Hirohito said: "Your Majesty, this move will definitely push our great Japanese empire into the abyss, please consider carefully. ”

"How many people died yesterday?"

"Hundreds." The person from the National Police Agency hurriedly said.

Emperor Taisho shook his head and said, "You don't need to lie to me, hundreds? Even the palace has people who have been quarantined and taken away, how can it be seven hundred? ”

"Today, following the example of the Shina government, Kyoto is just the first step," Hirohito said. ”

Emperor Taisho sighed and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, who can drive away the plague god from the head of the Great Japanese Empire?" Japanese politicians were silent.

"Is the medicine of the Shina government useful?" Taisho asked.

"There is no evidence to prove that it is useful, and the government of China only says that it is suspected to be useful, and at the same time, several major pharmaceutical companies in the world have recently launched their own anti-JVIS drugs, which are also not guaranteed to be resisted." Interim Prime Minister Yasuya Uchida said. Yasuya Uchida is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, while the former Prime Minister is Yuzaburo Kato, a naval officer-turned-officer.

But Yuzaburo Kato was unfortunate enough to ...... On August 14, he was found to be infected with JVIS flu, and he was suffering from cancer. It was difficult to support it, so he entrusted Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida to the post of interim prime minister before going to the hospital.

"China, we must conquer China!" Taisho suddenly jumped up, pulled out the katana in his hand, slashed left and right, and shouted: "We conquer by force, one on the left and one on the right." One cut, the next one......"

Hirohito and the others looked at each other and got it. Emperor Taisho went crazy again, so he quickly hugged him and took him down.

Subsequently, the Japanese regent Hirohito and the cabinet elders discussed the domestic epidemic, and the epidemic is only one aspect. What is even more important is to contain the epidemic. in order to be able to re-engage in trade with European and American countries. The first stop of the end of trade was China under the leadership of the hateful Wang Maoru, and it can be said that China knocked down the first eight sledgehammers of closing the country, which led the world to follow suit and terminate trade with Japan. Trade between Japan and even the Americas, especially the United States, was completely interrupted. The Americans say well, they will always stand with the Japanese and look for common interests, but after the outbreak of the flu in Japan. The Americans were the second country to abandon Japan. Even the American-colonized Luzon (present-day Philippines) followed the example of the United States and terminated its relations with Japan.

Pure epidemic. How can the Japanese cabinet be anxious, they are anxious about the disruption of trade between Japan due to the epidemic, which is a fatal blow to Japan, an export-oriented country.

At this time, the Belgian Tong Guò was sold to China for a huge profit, and the signing of the Belgian Chinese Concession very quickly and privately shocked the Japanese cabinet.

Subsequently, the regent Hirohito immediately asked the cabinet to come up with an opinion in order to deal with the return of the Chinese concession by Belgium.

Cabinet veteran Kinozo Saionji, Acting Prime Minister Yasuya Uchida, Minister of Internal Affairs Ryuntaro Mizuno, Minister of War Hanzo Yamanashi, Minister of the Navy Biao of Finance, Minister of Finance Ichirai Otsuhiko, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture and Culture Eikichi Kamada, Minister of Justice Keijiro Okano, and Minister of Agriculture Kentaro Arai held an emergency meeting to discuss how to handle the matter.

The Minister of the Navy, the Minister of Finance, immediately said: "If the government of Shina proposes the same conditions to the Japanese government, the artillery of the Imperial Japanese Navy will tell them the answer." ”

"Now that the government of China is not willing to open the customs, should we use cannons to open it? Even if we can open it with a cannon, how can we get the people of China to buy our goods? The Minister of Finance, Ichirai, said with a wry smile.

"Pry the door first, then pry open the door of the world." Prime Minister Yasuya Uchida sighed.

Interior Minister Ryuntaro Mizuno said, "The most important thing we need to do now is not to open the door to the Shina market, but to eliminate the domestic JVIS, and only by eliminating the JVIS Japanese goods will not be rejected." At that time, if China refuses, we will have a reason to pry open their gates with artillery, even at the cost of occupying Manchuria. ”

Whether to open the market first or eliminate the flu first has become the focus of debate among the key members of the Japanese cabinet, and opening the Chinese market is to eliminate the flu, but to eliminate the flu, it is necessary to do business with the Chinese, and now the Chinese are unwilling to do business with Japan, falling into a dead circle.

"Even if the Banlan root powder and Tahara drink mentioned by the Shina government are not effective, these two medicines are already very famous in Japan, and we can buy them from Shina to appease the feelings of the people." Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture said Eiyoshi Kamada.

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang spoke at this time, his right to speak is very important, when he opened his mouth, no one could make a sound, he said: "It seems that we can only eliminate JVIS by appeasing the people in the country first." I support the purchase of some medicines, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs to do everything possible to develop a drug that can treat JVIS. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, we will do our best." Minister of Internal Affairs Ryotaro Mizuno said respectfully.

On the same day, Japanese Ambassador to China Isaburo Yoshida received the decision of the domestic cabinet and immediately approached Chinese Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang again, hoping that the Chinese government could consider selling Banlangen Powder and Tahara Drink to Japan. Lu Zhengxiang replied again, "These two drugs have now become a bargaining chip for the Chinese government, and we only accept to use them to redeem the concessions, and we don't need any more money, so please go back to the ambassador." In the same way, Lu Zhengxiang also replied to the envoys of other foreign powers who came to buy medicines, but for those countries that did not have concessions in China, Lu Zhengxiang was more polite, saying that he could provide a small amount to give the country an urgent need. However, with regard to the countries that have concessions with China, such as Britain, France, Japan, Italy, and Portugal, the Chinese government has taken an extremely clear and resolute attitude, and will only exchange medicines for concessions and will not sell them abroad.

Since the Chinese government had previously shot 16,000 speculators and citizens who sold medicines to foreigners or others, it was now very difficult for the Japanese to buy medicines from ordinary citizens, let alone directly from the government. The Chinese government's lack of humanitarianism and its consideration of the most Chinese people has angered many countries. However, because various pharmaceutical factories have also launched suspected anti-JVIS drugs, they can fool the people in China.

However, the medical departments of various countries have also compared and found that compared with the various drugs produced by themselves, the anti-JVIS effect of China's Banlangen Powder is slightly better than that of the drugs produced in China. So that the rich and the aristocracy have tried to get Chinese medicines, but foreign nationals are not fools, with Mao, you nobles use Chinese magic Chinese medicine, we use the domestic medicine that is still very expensive and the effect is not good?

Now, Japan is once again in trouble, and Saionji Konobo has to convene a cabinet meeting again to consider whether to follow Belgium's example. But before that, news suddenly came that Italian Minister Folendino accepted the instructions of Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini to formally prepare for negotiations with China on the Italian Tianjin concession.

The land area of the Italian Tianjin concession is narrow, 771 acres, but its geographical location is very special, surrounded by the Japanese concession, the Austro-Hungarian concession, the Russian concession, the French concession, adjacent to the Tianjin East Station of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway, is a very prosperous concession, because the Austro-Hungarian concession and the Russian concession have been recovered by the Chinese government, making the Italian concession like a protruding horn, after the establishment of the separation wall, the Italian concession is even more special.
