Chapter 552: Raiders against Japan
The Sino-British Treaty of Beijing stipulated that, first, Britain would transfer Burma and the Straits Settlements to China free of charge. Second, Britain compensated China with 150 million pounds in war reparations. Third, China released more than 50,000 captured British soldiers, as well as the Governor of Hong Kong, Bu Li, and the Governor of the Straits Settlements, Timber. Fourth, Britain gave up a special interest in China. Fifth, China and the UK have established friendly diplomatic relations and elevated them to the level of ambassadors. Sixthly, treaties enter into force upon signature.
With the signing of the Sino-British Treaty of Beijing, the war between China and the great powers finally came to an end. Although this outcome is only temporary, or rather, it is simply an armistice, China and Britain, France, the United States, and Russia have formed an indissoluble feud. Now the countries have to end the war with China for one reason or another, but once they recover, the war will inevitably resume. Therefore, after the end of the war, China must accelerate the pace of development, and only when it becomes strong will this be the most important thing.
This treaty is very beneficial to both China and Britain. China can begin to recuperate and focus on domestic construction and economic development. In addition, it will not take much energy to deal with Japan at all. For the UK, there are also great benefits. Britain could use all its strength to deal with the Boers in South Africa and keep South Africa, a treasure trove of gold and diamonds. At present, although the Boers occupy a great advantage, the Boers are sparsely populated, only a few hundred thousand, and cannot afford to drag them on. When Britain sent troops from all over the world to South Africa, it was inevitable that the situation would be slowly reversed, and finally the Boer revolt would be suppressed. There is no doubt about it. Of course. This qiē has nothing to do with China. China has already got what it wants.
"Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate to have completed the negotiations with the British!" Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang stood in front of Wang Yuze with a happy face. The negotiations with the British were arguably the most difficult of all the negotiations with several countries. Fortunately, however, the negotiations were completed and the task was exceeded. Wang Yuze's bottom line is to get 100 million pounds from the UK. I didn't expect to get 150 million pounds in the end. Although, this is only a small amount for the wealthy Britain. However, although the British are rich, it is not so easy for them to be willing to pay such a war reparation, and Wang Yuze is very satisfied with being able to do this.
"Haha! Master Wu, this time you did a very good job. With an extra £50 million, we can do a lot! Wang Yuze said with a smile. Fifty million pounds. It is equivalent to 200 million Chinese dollars, if it is used for the construction of the army. That's enough to add almost an army group.
"Your Majesty, since there is an extra fifty million pounds in war reparations, it is better to give it to the navy! The Navy needs to eliminate the old battleships and build new ones, and it also needs a lot of money! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng immediately jumped out.
"Lao Zhang, you can't swallow it alone, how can our army score half of it!" War Minister Cai Yun also said.
"Okay, don't fight, 50 million pounds, it looks like a lot, but in fact, it is nothing when it comes to domestic construction. The issue of military spending will be arranged uniformly when the time comes, so you don't have to worry about it! Wang Yuze hurriedly said. The army and navy have made great contributions in this war. It's just that the war is not completely over, and promotions and the like have to wait until after the war to arrange. As for the development of the army and navy after the war, further discussions are needed.
"Your Majesty, in this war, we have received 700 million pounds in war reparations, which is enough to make the domestic economy take off again. There is still one Japan left, and I don't know when the army will be able to get rid of Japan, and then the country will be able to concentrate on developing the economy! Prime Minister Yang Hua said.
"After we end the war with Britain, it will be our turn to start a war against Japan and solve this threat once and for all. The army is ready and ready to go at any time. Today is October 18th, and three days later, we will launch a war against Japan and strive to get rid of Japan before the end of the year! Wang Yuze said.
Xiong Wu, chief of the General Staff, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Your Majesty, launch an attack in three days and end the war before the end of the year, there is no problem at all!" "The General Staff has made plans to launch an attack on Japan, and although the Japanese Army has achieved an explosive increase in strength, its combat strength has not only not risen, but has decreased a lot. According to the calculations of the General Staff, the use of two group armies in two to three months can completely solve Japan. The wars of other wars have ended, and the army and navy are able to fully support the war against Japan. So, there won't be any problems.
"Haha, yes, that's good! There are several aspects that I need to remind you of this war against Japan, and you must pay attention to them after landing in Japan. And, passed to the ears of every soldier of the troops below. Wang Yuze said sternly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiong Wu, chief of the General Staff, Cai Yun, minister of the army, Zhang Cheng, minister of the navy, and Jiang Xingguo, minister of national defense, all of them were righteous. They all knew that since Wang Yuze brought up this matter so strictly, it must be very important.
"Everyone knows that the Japanese are a paranoid people, which can almost be described as crazy. In the past few decades, the goal of the Japanese has always been to defeat China, and then take nutrients from China and develop themselves. After decades of the Meiji Restoration, Japan's economic and industrial strength has grown tremendously. The bombing is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is those Japanese, who also take the defeat of China as a matter of course. Fortunately, the empire won both wars and avoided defeat by the Japanese. In the future development plan of the empire, the entire Far East will never allow the emergence of countries capable of threatening the empire, therefore, Japan, must be destroyed. In other words, the spirit of destroying China, which Japan has built up over the past few decades, must perish. Therefore, in this operation to land in Japan, I allowed the army to burn, kill, and loot in Japan, and did not have to treat these Japanese as human beings. However, it is necessary to be more hidden, and there is no need to let people in the world know, otherwise this will be a big blow to the image of the empire. After landing in Japan, all the Japanese who encountered recalcitrant resistance, whether they were soldiers or civilians, whether they were old people or children, were killed! Only dead Japanese are good Japanese! Wang Yuze gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Everyone's eyes were already wide, and they looked at Wang Yuze with disbelief on their faces. At the beginning, they didn't expect Wang Yuze to explain something, but they didn't expect that it would be like this. The military regulations of the squadron are very strict. Burning, killing and looting, once discovered, there is only one way to shoot them. However, he did not expect that Wang Yuze would allow the army to do this in Japan, which completely surprised everyone.
"Your ......Majesty, Your Majesty, it's a little bad to do this, I'm afraid it will damage the prestige of the emperor's ** team!" Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong said.
"It is impossible for us to kill all the Japanese, and the future empire will colonize Japan. The Japanese are a very perverted people, and the more they beat them badly, the more they will submit to you, but if you are kind to them, they will bite you back after they develop. This time, I'm going to make the whole of Japan never overborn! Wang Yuze said firmly.
Everyone knows that Wang Yuze has always disliked the Japanese, but he didn't expect that he would be strict to this time. They can also guess the specific reason. When the Grand Duke was still in the southwest of Sichuan, Wang Yuze was assassinated by the Japanese and almost died. Since then, I have hated the Japanese very much.
"Your Majesty, if we connive at the soldiers to behave in Japan, then the military discipline will be corrupted, what will we do in the future?" Minister of War Cai Yun said with some concern.
"Make it clear to the soldiers that in Japan, you can do something wrong, but if you go to the country, or in a place where the empire clearly stipulates that you can't mess around, you will be looking for death!" Wang Yuze said.
Although everyone still had some hesitation, since Wang Yuze said so, they could only do it.
Wang Yuze also knew what they thought, but he didn't care. When the army landed in Japan, it became known that these Japanese were crazy. When the time comes, the soldiers will kill the Japanese without an order.
"In addition, after landing in Japan, I will try to collect the wealth of Japan as much as possible. All kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, antique cultural relics, etc., can be taken away, all of them can be taken away. I can promise the soldiers that ten percent of all the wealth they have collected from Japan will be used as a reward for the soldiers. However, if anyone dares to hide it privately, it will be dealt with by military law! Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The giants of the military all replied.
"Your Majesty, if Japan is robbed of poverty, then how will they pay the war reparations?" Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang asked with some concern.
"It's very simple, just let the Japanese pay it back as cattle and horses. Young Japanese can come to work in the country, men to mine and build roads, and women to work as nannies or prostitutes. It is even possible to recruit mercenaries among the Japanese and use them as cannon fodder when the next war breaks out. In this case, the Japanese can also pay us war reparations! Wang Yuze said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
