858 Trapped in Japan
The United States entered into an alliance with the Chinese Empire to formally end its armed intervention in the Sino-Japanese War, and Japan was the most shaken by the news when the news was announced.
Japan is an island country, all industrial resources have to be transported from the outside, when the Chinese Empire did not "occupy" the Qing Dynasty, some of Japan's iron ore, coal and other minerals will be imported from the Qing State, when the Chinese Empire occupies the Qing State, all the minerals of Japan will be imported from the United States.
Now, the United States is no longer able to supply Japan with minerals, and Japan's industry has lost food in an instant.
Japan's industrial population has increased dramatically after the rapid industrial development of the previous period, and now these people have lost their jobs, and there has been great turmoil in the whole society.
In order to prevent the landing of the Chinese Empire, Japan had to deploy a large number of troops, which needed clothing, food, and occupied a lot of resources, and the whole of Japan was overwhelmed.
Lin Fei had already expected that Japan would not be able to support it, so he did not dispatch airships or planes to bomb Japan, because Lin Fei understood that if he bombed Japan at this time, he would bomb the Japanese people to the side of the Japanese government and blockade Japan, and Japan's domestic contradictions would crush Japan.
Emperor Meiji of Japan had foreseen the tragic fate of Japan, and he had no choice but to instruct the Japanese ambassador to China (the former ambassador to China has now been demoted to consul general because Lin Fei expelled the Japanese ambassador to China), and the former foreign minister Mutsu Munemitsu, went to Lin Fei to negotiate an armistice with Lin Fei.
At this point in the war, Japan no longer has the qualifications to negotiate terms with the Chinese Empire, so the talks between Mutsu Munemitsu and Lin Fei are more of a wagging tail and begging for mercy.
Lin Fei was not polite to Mutsu Zongmitsu, and said bluntly: "Mr. Mutsu Zongguang, your country's defeat has been decided, and I hope your country will surrender immediately." ”
Mutsu Zongguang still had to insist, he said without humility or arrogance: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Lin Fei, I came to talk to you this time, not to beg for surrender, but to discuss the armistice with you, please pay attention to the fact that I am here to negotiate an armistice, not a surrender negotiation." ”
Lin Fei sneered, stood up, stared at Mutsu Zongguang and said, "Don't surrender, don't negotiate, say goodbye." ”
After Lin Fei finished speaking, he walked away, leaving Mutsu Munemitsu and the Japanese delegation in the conference room, Mutsu Munemitsu was very angry and loudly reprimanded Lin Fei for being rude.
Lin Fei heard the roar of Mutsu Zongguang, but he didn't even look back, so Mutsu Zongguang found Nguyen Phuc Baojiao and handed her a letter from Emperor Meiji, asking her to pass it on to Lin Fei.
Emperor Meiji wrote in the letter that although your country has gained an advantage on the battlefield, it is absolutely impossible to occupy our Great Japanese Empire, and I hope that your country can start armistice negotiations with us, which will be beneficial to both of us.
Lin Fei laughed loudly, and directly threw the letter of Emperor Meiji into the trash, Lin Fei will not land in Japan, what Lin Fei has to do is just to besiege Japan and let it collapse completely.
After being rejected by Lin Fei, Mutsu Zongguang never came to Lin Fei again, and Mutsu Zongguang seemed to feel that after a long time, Lin Fei would change his attitude and make a truce with Japan.
The siege of Japan lasted for two months, and when the time came to December 1904, Darksword, who had remained in Japan, sent Lin Fei a piece of information about the living conditions in Japan, which said that Japan's domestic economy was close to collapse, the prices of rice, vegetables, and other agricultural products had risen all the way, and the supply of industrial products had almost stopped.
All the cars in Japan have been lying on their stomachs because there is no gasoline, all the power plants have stopped because there is no coal (oil is relatively scarce in this era, so the power plants use coal), the whole of Tokyo, at night, even the palace of the Meiji Emperor, can not guarantee all-day power supply, many Japanese families, have to return to the era of whale oil lighting.
Lin Fei saw the intelligence of the dark sword, and he was full of emotion, what Lin Fei sighed about was not the intelligence itself, but unconsciously, the dark sword had been lurking in Japan for almost ten years, and Lin Fei decided to let the dark sword return to the Chinese Empire.
However, Darksword refused, and he chose to stay in Japan and continue to provide intelligence to the Chinese Empire, even if Japan surrendered one day, it still needed intelligence.
Dark Sword let his deputy Liu Ying return to the Chinese Empire and marry Li Ying, these two people have long been secretly in love, but they have been separated from each other, and now they finally have a lover who is finally married.
In the era of Lin Fei, the two atomic bombs dropped by the United States were the last straw that crushed Japan, but now, it is absolutely impossible for Lin Fei to come up with nuclear weapons.
In fact, Lin Fei felt that Japan had not surrendered, but it was beneficial, and when all the Japanese factories died, Japan would become an agricultural society, and the occupation of Japan by the Chinese Empire would be more convenient.
Lin Fei had this idea, and suddenly thought that all the factories were dead, and the industry would not necessarily die, because Japan still had the talents needed to develop industry, so why not think of a way to kill all the industrial talents in Japan.
On January 1, 1905, Lin Fei issued an order for the troops of the Northeast Theater to immediately cross the Yalu River and occupy South Korea.
As a client state of Japan, Korea mainly transported raw materials to Japan economically, and after the Chinese Empire occupied Jeju Island, it conquered Tsushima Island, completely cutting off the connection between Korea and Japan, and no transport ship could transport raw materials from Korea to Japan.
South Korea's raw materials can not be transported, the economic blow to South Korea is also very big, South Korea has long been on the verge of collapse, now the Chinese Empire is attacking South Korea, the Korean people welcome the Chinese Imperial Army, and the Chinese Empire will soon occupy the entire territory of South Korea.
Although there were Japanese garrisons in Korea, there was not much left of the combat effectiveness of these garrisons, because the garrisons had seen the inevitable end of Japan and had no will to resist.
After the Chinese Empire occupied the entire territory of Korea, the Korean Emperor announced his abdication, and the Korean Empire officially fell and was replaced by the Republic of Korea, which paid tribute to the Chinese Empire, and Korea officially became a vassal state of the Chinese Empire.
After Lin Fei annexed Korea, he began to build factories in North Korea, and in the name of the Republic of Korea, recruited industrial talents in Japan, and Japan's domestic living standards have become miserable, so many industrial talents are willing to go to North Korea.
Japan also saw the trickery of the Chinese Empire and strictly restricted the outflow of domestic talents, resulting in extremely dissatisfied industrial talents, and many people were smuggled to Korea.
The siege of Japan lasted for another two months, and the phenomenon of starvation began to appear in Japan, and Emperor Meiji could not support it anymore, so he notified Mutsu Munemitsu to hold a second meeting with Lin Fei.
This meeting was the same as the last time, Lin Fei threw out the premise of "if Japan does not surrender, there is nothing to talk about" at the beginning, this time Mutsu Somitsu did not have the confidence to refuse coldly, and Mutsu Somitsu asked dejectedly: "I don't know what surrender conditions your country proposes?" ”
"There are many conditions for surrender, first of all, the emperor will no longer meddle in government affairs, and the supreme power of Japan will be held by the governor sent by the Chinese Empire, secondly, Japan cannot retain the army, only a small number of police, and finally, Japan must use Huaxia currency, Japan cannot have its own banks, and the banks in Japan must be managed by the Chinese Empire.
Lin Fei's attitude was very resolute when he spoke, there was no room for negotiation at all, Mutsu Zong Guang listened to Lin Fei's words, his heart was like a knife, Lin Fei's conditions were too harsh, and these conditions completely turned Japan into a colony of the Chinese Empire.
Mutsu Zongguang was stunned by Lin Fei's harsh conditions, and did not speak for a while, Lin Fei continued: "I just forgot to say one point, and the most important point, that is, in Japan in the future, textbooks, especially history and political textbooks, should use the version provided by the Chinese Empire, Japan's own textbooks, are not allowed to be used, schools should use Chinese to teach, and the government will use Chinese as the official language. ”
Mutsu Somitsu's surprise was even worse, Lin Fei not only wanted to eliminate the Japanese regime, but also to eliminate Japanese culture, and completely turn Japan into an appendage of the Chinese Empire.
Mutsu Munemitsu gasped and said in a trembling voice: "Please let me ask His Majesty the Emperor for instructions on this matter, and I will give you an answer when the request is over." ”
Lin Fei agreed, and Mutsu Somitsu took heavy steps, returned to the consulate, and reported Lin Fei's conditions to Emperor Meiji, who was so angry that he called Mutsu Somitsu, we, the Great Japanese Empire, would never agree to such harsh and shameless armistice conditions.
Emperor Meiji used the term "armistice conditions" instead of "surrender conditions" because Emperor Meiji himself was ashamed to say the word "surrender".
As soon as Emperor Meiji's telegram was sent, there was a wise man who came to persuade him that there was no way for us not to surrender, and we had no chance of winning now.
Emperor Meiji once again fell into deep thought, yes, the Chinese Empire has locked Japan up, and now Japan, how can there be a way out if it does not surrender? It was at this time that the British suddenly appeared!
The British told Emperor Meiji that Britain was about to launch a military operation against the Chinese Empire in Burma, and that Britain would dispatch the latest battleships, and that it would be beneficial if Japan held out until Britain defeated Lin Fei.
