Chapter 847: Japan's Response
At the top of China, the eyes have always been closely watching every change in Ottoman and Poland, and there is no moment of relaxation. However, because of the impact of Liu Xian's 'death', the Chinese people did not have the passion to enter the war at all.
Then, then they waited for a notice from the state - a 20% increase in oil prices!
Three years ago, it began to appear in the Chinese market, and has entered many people's radios, and began to appear in large quantities about the war between the Ottoman Empire and Poland. No one knew that the Chinese government had urgently dispatched a batch of 300,000 radios to private teahouses and restaurants.
Tea houses and restaurants have always been the most popular and concentrated places in Chinese, which are no more popular than department stores, with a large flow of people and strong circulation. As long as the guests of teahouses and restaurants sit down, it can be as little as ten or twenty minutes, an extra hour, or even more, and the radio is useless in the shopping mall, and it is the real place to use it here!
The central government should let its voice be transmitted to the whole society and to every corner of the country as soon as possible. While 300,000 radios are worth a lot of money, they are nothing compared to their utility.
The 20% increase in oil prices meant that the 'radio' had seized the first step, and many local newspapers had not had time to report it, and the radio sent the news to the people. You must know that in teahouses, restaurants, especially in teahouses, there have always been people who tell stories and read newspapers, and for decades, many Chinese people have developed the habit of reading/listening to newspapers. Because there is always news in the newspapers that concerns their interests.
But with the advent of radio, some teahouses soon incorporated it into their watch/listen systems. With the passage of time, sooner or later the radio will enter the general public. The sudden distribution of 300,000 radios by the central government has only accelerated this process.
……
Southwest Japan. Night still reigns over the land. It's five o'clock in the morning, and it's still some time before dawn. The rooster crows also did not sound.
However, at this time, the Diet building in southwest Japan is brightly lit, and more than 100 members of the Diet are gathered together, sitting in chairs with different expressions, some looking nervous, some leaning their necks and leisurely, and more people gathering together and muttering quietly.
Just an hour ago. Almost all members of the Diet in Kagoshima received a call from the presidential chamberlain. Well, the presidential palace in southwestern Japan also has chambers. On the phone, the chamberlain told the councillors to arrive at the Capitol by 6 a.m. for an emergency meeting. At that time, Mr. President will announce a very important decision in the Capitol that will require a vote from the lawmakers.
The Diet of Southwest Japan is only an ornament, and its importance is far less than that of China's. Because of Japan's traditional gate valve system, because of Saigo Takamori's super high personal prestige and charm at the beginning, because the whole of southwest Japan was established by a group of people led by Saigo Takamori. Although Saigo Takamori has been dead for four years, and although many important people who followed Saigo Takamori have died or retired, the military and political power of southwest Japan is still firmly in the hands of Saigo Takamori's younger brother Saigo Kobei and many elders.
The parliament here is more of a symbolic presence, an ornament and a hand-raising device.
What kind of speech will the president give in the Capitol? Members of Congress are talking. Each has its own speculation. Some people believe that the president's speech is related to the current international relations; Others insist that the president should have been influenced by Beijing. I came to the instructions. In recent years, southwest Japan has been able to hold the East and West in the South Sea, and China has followed the previous two islands. Two more islands, the Aru Islands and the Sura Islands, were assigned to Japan, which is more than 13,000 square kilometers of land. Firmly grasped the whole of Southwestern Japan in your hands!
Nowadays. The whole of Southwest Japan is a hundred obedience to China! Sincere loyalty!
But no matter how much the members of Congress say with their noses and eyes, as long as the president has not come to speak, then all this is speculation.
Of all the members of Congress, there are also a few who remain silent. They already knew what the president's speech was about, but because they had been reminded by the president, they had to keep silent about it. Among these few members of the Diet, Teijiro Kita's expression is the most representative.
At this moment, Kitaki Keijiro had a sad face, his brows were twisted together, and he raised his hand from time to time to touch the hard stubble on his chin, and then sighed.
Kita Teijiro is a native of Niigata Prefecture, geographically belonging to the jurisdiction of Tokyo Japan, but he is a person who tends to boil, and is very dissatisfied with the political system of Tokyo Japan. Then Kita Teijiro came to Southwest Japan and successfully became a senator of Southwest Japan by virtue of his own identity.
In the Diet of Southwest Japan, Kita Teijiro was an absolute left-winger, and he admired the Chinese system the most. The system of poor party Russia seemed too radical for him, but China's success was in front of him, and China's cooking construction was also fruitful, and Kita Teijiro admired China very much.
Due to their own background, although Saigo Kobei and others in power were very impatient with Kitaki Tejiro and his gang, these people understood the necessity of the 'enemy' and knew more about the importance of a 'good enemy'.
Although Kita Teijiro was not satisfied with the political system of southwest Japan and believed that the functions of the Diet should be strengthened, he had a clear mind, and many policies and ideas were borrowed from China, which had a certain guiding role in the social development of southwest Japan, unlike the vast majority of opposition, which opposed purely for the sake of opposition. He was the representative of the Democratic Socialist Party, the largest opposition party in southwest Japan, in the Diet, and Saigo Kobei and others had a lot of communication with him secretly.
From the initial resistance and opposition, Kita Keijiro has now become acceptance. After all, the power of the country is controlled by Saigo Kobei, and although they need an opposing force in the Diet, they will never accept 'rebellion'. Hokakijiro represents the entire Democratic Socialist Party, and when the Standing Committee of the Democratic Socialist Party accepts this 'mode of existence', Kita Teijiro, who does not want to leave Japan, has no choice but to do so.
This time the Diet was convened suddenly. Teijiro Kita knows why. Yesterday, the Chinese government suddenly sent a secret telegram to Saigo Kobei, asking southwest Japan to respond to the call of 'Chinese mainland." An 'oil crisis' was also stirred up in the country to illustrate the importance of the 'Ottoman Empire'. Saigo Kobei and other elders felt. China is about to get involved in the war, so what about the direction of southwest Japan?
The president's upcoming speech at the Capitol will be about the relationship between Southwest Japan and China and the world as a whole. The first point to be made is that southwest Japan should unswervingly take China as the center and firmly follow China, and then it is necessary for all parts of the country to start publicizing the importance of oil, and at the same time to raise domestic oil prices -- the price of oil and fuel sold by China to Japan has not increased at all, and the president has demanded a general price increase of 30%.
This is very beneficial for fuel companies in Southwest Japan. Beihui Jiro also had to admit that this was a very vicious move, and it could focus everyone's attention on oil in an instant. Japan is desperately short of oil. Whether it's Tokyo Japan or Southwest Japan.
In recent years, Japan's oil industry has been completely dependent on the supply of oil from China's South Seas. And in the impression of many people, China itself is also a huge oil-poor country, if it were not for their rise to occupy the South Seas, if they did not take Kuwait and Baku, China would be troubled by the oil problem!
Previously, China's domestic fuel prices had risen by 20%, and when the news reached Japan, the island countries were in an uproar. That's a huge increase. What a slander it would be for the president to announce a 30 percent increase in fuel prices now. It can well be imagined.
Sure enough, not long after the president came to the stage to give a speech on time at six o'clock, the hall was completely in an uproar. With a 30% price increase, the government is crazy about money, right? Aren't all those fuel companies in southwest Japan 'unprovoked' by those veterans in the background? It's too greedy to be so demanding, isn't it?
No one objected to the president's question that southwest Japan should closely follow in China's footsteps. Parliamentarians oppose only the increase in fuel prices and the President's proposal to step up armaments.
Although they are just a group of ornaments, but ornaments also have the dignity and interests of ornaments, under the big tree of China. Japan's navy, land, and air forces in southwest Japan have been maintaining their size below 100,000 for many years, and now the general population has suddenly put forward a proposal to expand the army. It also expanded the Japanese army in the southwest to 200,000 at one time, including the security army in Nanyang. This has already surpassed the peak figure of the number of Japanese troops in the southwest.
Bei Keijiro faintly felt that the president had another plan, and the security forces in the South Seas were ...... the Ottoman battlefield, which made him very uneasy.
The small body of southwest Japan did not have the strength to intervene in the Ottoman battlefield at all, but it was impossible for China to immediately declare war on European countries, just like the Kingdom of Persia and the Kingdom of Afghanistan, China could only rely on a group of younger brothers to rise first. In the Greater China Circle, among the vassal states of China, Tokyo Japan and Southwest Japan are among the few countries that can fight, even if you count the vassal states in various places.
The ferocity and loyalty of the Japanese soldiers and the success of the Nanyang war for more than 10 years have been completely proven. If Kitaki Keijiro was China's top minister, or directly His Majesty the Great Emperor of China, Kita Keijiro would not be able to suppress the desire to let Japan intervene in the war.
As long as there is sufficient military funds and materials, as long as there is money, Japan has people who are willing to work hard.
Just by looking at the recruitment of the security forces in recent years, we can see the attitude of the Japanese towards death. They are never afraid of death, and in the law and order war in Nanyang, the Japanese only see benefits, not harm.
15,000 square kilometers of land, a large sea area, rich forest resources, and everywhere there is precious wood. The Japanese did not count the high salaries and large quantities of modern weapons that they had earned over the years, and they felt that they had made a lot of money on these lands alone.
Nearly a million Japanese from the southwest moved to these new lands, greatly relieving the population pressure on the homeland. And the rich forest resources in these places have made them a lot of money, and China's restrictions on Japanese immigrants are becoming more and more relaxed, not only a large number of Japanese immigrants have moved to South China, North America, Outer Northeast China and Central Asia, but also many people have entered the Han land.
Just like China in the first 20 years of the reform and opening up, there are always not as many students who go abroad as those who return to China, and even if they can't get Chinese nationality for a while, it is still very easy to get a permanent residence permit. There is a huge demand for highly educated talents in China today, and no matter how many Japanese students are put into the demand of the talent market in China, they are just a small fish. As a result, even the vassal countries and vassal states in various places have introduced highly educated and high-tech talents with great fanfare.
Hokujiro believes that China's current territory is indeed big enough, and it is very firmly managed.
To the west there is the poor party Russia and the Ottoman Empire, and Persia, to the east there is Mexico to help, and also controls the Panama Canal, and now it is becoming more and more influential in the South American world, the north is invincible, directly encircled by the Arctic Ocean, and there is an Australia in the south is a trouble, just like the United States on the North American continent, it is a hidden danger. But in terms of hard power, the distance between these two places and the 'reinforcements' is much farther than that of China.
Therefore, Beihui Jiro didn't know at all that the ultimate wish of Emperor Liu was that North America swept away the United States and the South took Oceania! Africa China can give up completely, if necessary, the interests of the Middle East can also be ceded part, the Ottoman Empire has only grown muscles but not brains over the years, sooner or later it will collapse and play, China has Siberia in its hands, and it also leads Persia on the left and Mexico on the right, and there is no need to worry about oil in the future.
Kitaki Teijiro felt that although China's 'power' was stable, there was still a need to fight a war and strengthen it. Of course, he was willing to tie the chariot of southwest Japan to China, and there would definitely be a rich reward after the war. Hokujiro does not believe that the current earth still has the power to defeat China.
-- It is possible that the whole of Europe and the United States will be tied together, but the Germans are already on a par with the Russians in Poland, the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Persia are also an absolute help, and with the huge population base of China, it is impossible to fail.
Bei Teijiro just thought that it was better for southwest Japan to enter the battlefield slowly, and if it intervened too early, the losses would definitely be huge and unimaginable. The Ottoman Empire has raised a small army of 2 million people, and Russia is in urgent need of expanding its army, and the number of men and horses has almost reached 2 million. Then Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and Austria-Hungary all seized the time to expand their forces, and the combined strength of these powers had already exceeded 8 million to 10 million.
China's military strength has also expanded to 2 million like balloons, and the conscription process continues, which is an incomparably large number when you count the military strength of the vassal and vassal states.
This is a world of power, and there is no real power in the hands of Kiteijiro, so he can only be 'powered'! (To be continued.) )
