Chapter 225: Fuso's Army Withdraws from Korea
In general, the Entente has basically become an ally of Tsarist Russia, and they are desperately trying to win over the United States, and they are also trying hard to pull Huaxia into their camp. The happiest thing is the German Allies camp, the more jubilant the Tsarist Russia is, the more beneficial it is for them, and it is a happy thing that there is one less strong enemy in the east, and Germany is now shifting most of its focus to the west, and the pressure on the British is growing with the explosion of all kinds of powerful new weapons in China.
"Your Majesty, the Red Party of Tsarist Russia is currently under great pressure, and the government army occupies a huge advantage, surrounding the Red Army one after the other. The Red Army sent people in the hope of gaining more support from our country and bringing down the rule of Nikolai! ”
Wilhelm II rubbed his temples and said: "You can increase the support of weapons in an appropriate amount, but you can't provide them with weapons in active service, and sell them those obsolete weapons and equipment at a low price." ”
Wilhelm II also had a bit of a headache about how to deal with the relationship between Germany and the Red Army, he did not want Tsarist Russia to be ruled by the Red Party, because no one knew what kind of development Tsarist Russia would have under the rule of the Red Party, and what danger it would bring to Germany, so he only wanted to use the Red Party to maintain the situation of the civil war in Tsarist Russia.
"Your Majesty, Huaxia has now reduced its help to the Red Party, they seem to have a prelude to giving up the Red Party, are we the same as Huaxia?"
"No, in this way, we need to maintain the status quo of Tsarist Russia even more, Huaxia is wary of us!" Wilhelm II said with wide eyes after hearing that Huaxia was going to abandon the Red Party.
If Huaxia gave up the Red Party, then the Red Party would soon be killed by the government army, and the restoration of the unification of Tsarist Russia would not be a good thing for them in Germany, after all, Tsarist Russia was still a member of the Entente, and they also devoted their energy to guard against Tsarist Russia.
With the support of Germany, the Red Party in Moscow was more confident about itself, and was preparing to bribe the corrupt officers to delay the encirclement of Moscow and give them more time to deal with the enemy behind them.
…………
It has been several days since Huaxia suspended the suspension of negotiations, and those ambassadors who had been invited by Fuso to Yingfa Mi and other countries also officially began to intervene in the negotiations as intermediaries and supervisors. He also held meetings with the top leaders of the Junxian Party and the Minguo Party, hoping to get the support of both parties and try their best to resolve the war between Huaxia and Fuso, but almost all of them hit a wall.
The further attack of the Huaxia army in Korea caused the Fuso government to scold Yuan Jing for his ineffective work, so that the Fuso army could now only retreat in the southeast of Korea, and even the army in Gangneung was ready to retreat, because an army of the Huaxia army approached Gangneung, and openly telegraphed the Fuso army there, demanding that the Fuso army surrender, otherwise it would use poison gas to attack.
"There is nothing to be afraid of the poison gas of the Chinese army, I don't believe that the poison gas will be so lethal!" The person in charge of this army believed that poison gas was just an excuse for the main army to cover up its defeat, and if it was really poisonous gas in Huaxia that had been used in the three eastern provinces a long time ago, why did it use it here?
When the fire dragon squad threw down a few cans of poison gas to poison thousands of people, the shadow of poison gas filled the hearts of the entire Fusang army, and the painful groans and struggles of those poisoned soldiers were deeply seared in their hearts.
After the fire dragon squad threw down more gas canisters again, the Fuso army in Gangneung finally began to retreat frantically, but with Oshima Yoshimasa's Jianyì supplies and weapons, most of the materials were transported away.
The situation in North Korea devastated the Fuso government, and the great Fuso warriors were defeated by the attack of the Chinese poison gas, and finally had to retreat to the southeast, which was very unfavorable to the negotiations.
Huaxia's request was sent back to China by Yuan Jing word for word, and Okuma Shigenobu almost flipped the table in front of all his subordinates when he saw it, and if he agreed to all these requests, he might be beaten to death by the angry people the next day!
"Damn, too much deception! Sue sù Yuan Jing try to reduce Huaxia's requirements, it is best not to have some territorial claims, and everything else can be considered! ”
Although Okuma Shigenobu was angry, he knew that this kind of thing could not be done rashly, and for the sake of the future of the empire, he had to give up some things, otherwise how to block the giant mouth of Huaxia.
Witnessed by Britain, France, and other countries, the two sides continued to negotiate several times, but each time they ended unhappily. Fusang obviously softened, but Huaxia has always adhered to the bottom line of ceding Kyushu Island and its affiliated islands, and they are also very helpless.
In the Fuso Imperial Palace, Emperor Taisho and the elders were discussing the rice rush in the country, but in fact, it was more about the elders discussing, and Taisho was just listening quietly from the sidelines, and in front of the military and political elders, Taisho could only listen obediently.
"The domestic rice rush has reached a very strict point, the empire itself has spread to almost the entire empire from south to north, every city has broken out rice rush turmoil, the countryside is getting more and more intense, countless landlords have been killed!"
"His Majesty the Emperor's order to suppress these untouchables did not prevent them from spreading and spreading, but was attacked by the masses, and many small and medium-sized cities were controlled by these untouchables, this is the Red Party showing their fangs to us, and the Red Party must be exterminated at a price!"
"There are too many people affected by this turmoil, and many of the soldiers who went to suppress them have joined the camp of the rebels under the bewitchment of their relatives, and the power of the rebels has been expanded, and even Dongjing has begun to have turmoil!"
The rice grabbing turmoil has intensified, and the government's crackdown has made the people angry to the extreme, with one-fifth of the country's population participating in the turmoil, and the vast majority of people have rebelled against the police and soldiers who have cracked down. The soldiers of the army were not as ruthless as the officers, and when they saw their relatives or friends being slaughtered, they rebelled, and as a member of the civilian population, the soldiers were not willing to slaughter these unarmed civilians.
The country became more and more chaotic, and most of the people shouted slogans to overthrow the emperor and the government, and those who did not participate were also panicked, and they stayed at home and did not dare to go out, for fear that they would be affected.
"I will withdraw the troops from North Korea and let the troops return to China to quell the rebellion, the chaotic empire will make the losses of the empire even more severe, and we must do our best to calm down!" A dry and hoarse voice sounded, it was a friend from Shan County who spoke.
Everyone present took a deep breath, who is Youpeng in Shan County, and now the most powerful person in the two terms of Fuso military and political affairs, covering the sky with one hand, even Emperor Taisho can't help him.
"Sooner or later, North Korea will not be protected, the Chinese army now occupies a very big advantage in North Korea, and the troop carrier that has just been transmitted back to Pohang was attacked by the submarine of China, and the losses were strict, which means that we cannot safely continue to increase our troops in North Korea, so it is better to withdraw the army! The internal turmoil has reached a situation that cannot be ignored, and the external turmoil must first be secured at home, and without a unified and consolidated internal environment, it will never be possible to truly fight against the outside world. ”
The words of Youpeng in Shan County sounded again, Taizheng's face was very ugly, and all the elders were also pondering.
"Now that our army still has hundreds of thousands of troops in North Korea, and we still have the strength to fight with China, can we just give up North Korea to China? I'm not reconciled! Matsukata smacked his chest in resentment.
"Our army is now shrouded in the shadow of the poisonous gas of the Chinese people, and the enthusiasm for combat is severely bruised, coupled with the current situation in the empire, it is simply impossible to support tens of millions of troops to fight in Korea for a long time, it is better to transfer back to quell the rebellion!"
"It is true that the empire's economy can no longer support the Korean War, and if the domestic turmoil does not subside for a long time, the empire's economy will collapse completely out of control, alas!"
Masayoshi Matsukata, who has been in charge of Fuso's finances for more than 20 years, is very clear about Fuso's current economic situation, and the economy, which was on the verge of collapse due to foreign wars and the blockade of China, has collapsed under the interference of the rice rush turmoil, and it is a little powerless to continue to support the war.
"In that case, then withdraw the Korean army, half of them enter Kyushu Island to quell the rebellion, and return to Honshu Island and Hokkaido to clean up the untouchables of the riots, maintain domestic stability, and do our best to promote peace talks with China!"
In this way, Yama County Youpeng and Matsukata Masayoshi made the decision to withdraw from North Korea, in fact, it was more of the aristocracy's uneasiness about the country, and the rice grabbing storm threatened the rule of the nobles.
Ojima Yoshimasa received a domestic request for him to withdraw from Korea and led his army to Kyushu Island to exterminate the red rebels, and the Fuso army began to board ships in Pohang in batches and rushed to Kyushu Island at night.
Sasebo base, Katayama did not know that the Fuso government had mobilized troops from North Korea to Kyushu Island, and was listening to a report on the progress of Kyushu Island by a group of subordinates.
"Chief, the militia has grown to 300,000, more than a third of the soldiers are unarmed, and we are short of guns and ammunition."
"There is plenty of food to keep us going until the summer!"
"The corrupt government has sent troops from Dongjing to destroy us, we must be ready to meet the enemy at any time, we must annihilate the enemy!" Katayama said.
At this time, Tokuda Qiuichi trotted in from outside and ran into Katayama Qian's ear and muttered for a while, Katayama Qian's face was ecstatic at first, and then it became iron-blue.
Katayama said with a straight face: "I have just received two pieces of news, one is that the Huaxia Empire has promised to support our democratic cause and provided a large number of advanced weapons, and the other is that the Huaxia Empire has detected that the government troops of North Korea are withdrawing from the country and are likely to withdraw to Kyushu Island, which is not a good thing for us!" ”
The withdrawal of North Korean troops to Fuso, whether to Kyushu Island or elsewhere, would not be a good thing for the Allies, and their carefully planned rice rush would be subject to even more brutal and bloody suppression.
"It is necessary to inform the comrades of all the major regions of the country about this matter at once, so that they can deal with it carefully, and they must hide their strength and preserve their strength for another revolution before the last resort!" Katayama commanded.
"Yes, mission guaranteed!"
The Red Party on the island of Kyushu took action against the withdrawal of North Korean troops, and the clouds of war over Kyushu Island were intense.
