Up to now, if the Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple still doesn't know what Lieutenant General Xie Dingkun means, then he is a fool. To be able to become the prime minister of Japan, how can he be a fool? There is no doubt that the Chinese want to kill the natives of the South Seas, but because of the international image, China has to stop this large-scale killing. If China wants to migrate to the South Seas, it must seize the land and wealth of the natives of the South Seas, and this has become an unsolvable cycle. The meaning of the Chinese is also very clear, they are going to borrow a knife to kill people, let the Japanese deal with those Nanyang natives, and let the Japanese carry the black pot for the Chinese.

Xiyuan Temple subconsciously wants to refuse, this kind of thankless work, a fool will do it. It's just that Xie Dingkun's next words made Xiyuan Temple Gongwang unable to refute.

"We plan to recruit 10,000 mercenaries from among the Japanese. These mercenaries will all be thrown into the Nanyang region to eliminate those natives. Every ordinary soldier can receive an allowance of 5 yuan per month, 7 yuan for squad leader, 10 yuan for squad leader, 15 yuan for squadron leader, 25 yuan for group leader, and 40 yuan for wing commander. We know that those Japanese veterans have been living very badly lately, and if we recruit them again, we will not only be able to let them do what they want, but at the same time, they will be able to earn a lot of foreign exchange for Japan. We will recruit 10,000 people initially, and if the Japanese mercenaries are good, we will recruit more Japanese soldiers to join the mercenaries. Xie Dingkun continued.

Saionji Gongwang couldn't help but ponder, Japan's millions of troops were disbanded, and these soldiers, accustomed to being soldiers, were unwilling to go back to be peasants or workers. However, Japan's economy is now very bad, so that these soldiers have no livelihood, and now it has had an impact on the stability of society. If they can be reorganized and sent to Nanyang to fight for the Chinese, not only can they solve this trouble, but also bring foreign exchange to the country, it is simply a matter of killing two birds with one stone!

"General, if our soldiers are killed, then how much pension will we get?" Saionji Gongwang asked.

"For every Japanese soldier killed, we will pay a pension of 100 Chinese yuan. That's a lot of money in Japan! Xie Dingkun said. Although, this pension, only one-tenth of that of Chinese soldiers. In addition, if a Chinese soldier is killed in battle, his family and children can be cared for by the government until the children reach adulthood. And the Japanese, apparently, will not have such treatment.

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang nodded, although one hundred yuan is very little, but for the poor Japanese, it is already very good. In addition, the Japanese government can also deduct a little from these pensions, such as only 80 or 70 percent to the families of those who died in battle.

"In addition, although the natives of Nanyang are poor, they still have a lot of wealth. If in the process of exterminating the natives of Nanyang, the Japanese soldiers can get half of the wealth they have robbed. The other half is owned by us Chinese! Xie Dingkun said.

"Of course, General, this is very reasonable!" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said. Now that the whole of Japan is looking up to the Chinese, the Japanese mercenaries are fighting for China, and half of the property they have seized can be shared, which is already very good.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, by the way, I would like to tell you that sooner or later there will be a life-and-death war between us in China and the Western powers. When the time comes, the Japanese army, in the name of mercenaries, can participate in the battle. As long as we in China can win the final victory, then when the fruits of victory are finally distributed, we will certainly not forget Japan. Perhaps, as soon as His Majesty the Emperor shows mercy, he will divide a rich land for you. Then the revival of Japan will be just around the corner! Xie Dingkun said with a smile.

As a well-known politician, he also believed that the peace treaty between China and the Western powers was nothing more than an armistice treaty. Next time, the two sides will continue to fight each other, and it will be a life-and-death battle. Some people in Japan are still trying in vain to take advantage of that war. However, Saionji Gongwang believed that even if China lost the war, Japan would not have any chance, and with China's strength, it could easily destroy Japan. Saionji Gongwang believes that a small country like Japan can only develop if it is dependent on a big country like China. For example, as Lieutenant General Xie Dingkun said, if in the next war, Japan fights for China, and China wins the war. Then, when the time comes to finally distribute the fruits of victory, China will certainly not forget about Japan. When the time comes, Japan will certainly be able to develop again. Even if China can't be challenged, at least the people's lives won't be so poor.

"General, please rest assured, I will do my best to complete this matter, and the soldiers that your country needs will be ready within three days! I promise, they are all our most elite soldiers in Japan! Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said immediately. In fact, he thought of much more than that. It was because of China's support that he was able to sit in the prime minister's position. But at the moment, the position is not very secure. If he can master an army, then his political enemies may no longer be able to confront him.

"Haha, good, good! Then I'll wait for your good news! Lieutenant General Xie Dingkun laughed. The method proposed by the emperor to let the Japanese kill those Nanyang natives has to be said to be a clever trick! Let the Japanese and the natives of the South Seas eat dogs, while China sits in the back and reaps the benefits. In addition, in the next war, these Japanese can also be used as cannon fodder, so why not do it? The Japanese have 40 million people, and the number of suitable soldiers is at least 2 million. Let these Japanese go to work for China, how many losses of the Chinese can be reduced!

After saluting Lieutenant General Xie Dingkun, the Duke of Xiyuan Temple left the headquarters of the Second Army. After returning to the Prime Minister's Palace, he immediately had people call Count Masashi Terauchi. Terauchi Masashi was undoubtedly the hero of the coup d'état in Kyoto when they seized power. However, after Japan's defeat, according to China's requirements, Japan disbanded all its armies, and Terauchi Masatsuki, a hero, was idle at home. Now there is a good thing, of course, the public hope of Xiyuan Temple thought of this henchman for the first time.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I don't know what is the matter with summoning the lowly office?" When Masachi heard that Xiyuan Temple was summoned, he rushed to it as soon as possible. You know, now Xiyuan Temple Gongwang is a red man around the Chinese, and he is powerful in Japan, and his speech is more effective than that of the king. And Zhengyi in the temple, the grass on the wall, naturally has to hug the thighs of Xiyuan Temple Gongwang. You know, hugging the thigh of Xiyuan Temple Gongwang is equivalent to having a relationship with the Chinese.

"Earl Temple, this time I came to you, there is a difficult task entrusted to you!" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said with a stern face.

"Please give instructions to Your Excellency the Prime Minister, and the lowly post will definitely complete the task!" Terauchi Masaki puffed out his chest and said.

"Well, it's good that you're able to have that determination. That's the case, the squadron exterminated those damned natives in the South Seas, but was splashed with dirty water by the Western powers, you know this, right? Therefore, the Chinese side is ready to recruit mercenaries in Japan to fight in Nanyang and exterminate those Nanyang natives. I have promised General Xie. And you, in my opinion, are the best candidate! Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

"The people of China told us to go and die for them? Isn't this let's take the blame for them? Terauchi Masaki said with a frown.

"Earl Temple, your idea is very incorrect! It is our honor to be able to bear the blame for China. In addition, all soldiers who participate in the mercenary army, ordinary soldiers can get a monthly allowance of 5 Chinese yuan, and half of the wealth they have grabbed can be shared. This is a great opportunity for us! Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said sharply.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I see. Rest assured, I will take command of this mercenary army and will not disappoint you! Terauchi Masashi hurriedly said.

"Good, that's right. Sue you, as long as you are good in Nanyang, China will recruit more mercenaries. In the future, when China and the West have a decisive battle, we will also be able to go to the battlefield. When China defeats the West, we will be able to participate in the distribution of the fruits of victory. When the time comes, it will be time for us to rise in Japan. Therefore, when fighting in the South Seas, you must show the strong combat power of our Japanese soldiers! Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" Masaki Terauchi replied immediately.

Three days later, the 1st Division of the Japanese mercenaries was officially formed. The commander of the division is none other than Lieutenant General Masashi Terauchi. For this mercenary army, the Chinese side has made a lot of restrictions, the establishment has been revised, and at the same time, there are only a small number of heavy machine guns and mortars, and there are no heavy artillery, but it is indeed enough to deal with those natives in the South Seas. But if you participate in the showdown between China and the Western world in the future, you will undoubtedly be cannon fodder!

The Japanese army had 12 people as a squad, 3 squads, plus the squad headquarters, a total of 40 people as a squad. 3 squads, plus a fire squad with a heavy machine gun and a 60mm mortar, and the squadron headquarters, for a total of 140 people in a squadron. 3 squadrons, plus a 30-man brigade headquarters, a total of 450 people form a brigade. Three brigades, plus a 150-man wing headquarters, for a total of 1,500 people in a wing. 3 wings, plus a 200-man brigade headquarters, a total of 4,700 people for a brigade. Two brigades, plus a 600-man division headquarters, a total of 10,000 people for a division! The combat effectiveness of such a Japanese division is not comparable to that of an infantry regiment in China!
