"The empire, under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, is getting stronger and stronger. In last year's war, it defeated five world powers, and established the empire's position among the countries of the world in one fell swoop! However, the mediocre talents of the cabinet and the immigration policy implemented not only caused the empire to boil public resentment, but also wantonly slaughtered the local natives in Nanyang, severely smearing the image of the empire. The Prime Minister of the Reich and the officials in charge of emigration, must explain this! "Many old scholars jointly wrote to Emperor Wang Yuze, asking Wang Yuze to severely punish the prime minister of the empire and the officials in charge of immigration, and to issue an order to massacre those indigenous officers and give an explanation to the people of the world.
"Presumptuous! These guys who have forgotten their roots! I gave the order, so is it possible that I should give an explanation to the so-called people of the world? These guys, are they still Chinese? After reading their book, Wang Yuze was furious. There has been no shortage of heroes in China since ancient times, but agree, there are no less hypocrites. Whenever the country is in trouble, these hypocrites jump out, lest the world is not chaotic, and they are simply in vain as Chinese!
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? There was a lot of discussion about this matter all over the world, and many of the people of the empire who had agreed to emigrate also regretted it. If this situation is allowed to continue, the immigration policy of the empire will be greatly affected! Prime Minister Yang Hua said with an embarrassed face. He was very aggrieved, and all the orders were given by Wang Yuze. But. Those hypocrites did not dare to point the finger at Wang Yuze. I had to make him the target of the attack. It made him miserable. Yang Hua's current image in China is completely the same as that of Zhao Gao and Qin Hui in history.
"What else can I do? The more this time goes, the more we can't afford to back down. Didn't they accuse us of slaughtering natives? But when our immigrants were killed, who saw it. Starting tomorrow, the major newspapers of the empire will publish the news that the immigrants of the empire were killed by the natives, and there should be a lot of photos from the military intelligence bureau. Then there are the sins committed by the Western powers in the Americas and in Africa. It was also published in the newspapers, so that the people of the empire could thoroughly recognize the reality! Wang Yuze said with a dark face.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Should the Ninth Army's purge of the natives continue? Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu asked. The operation of the Ninth Army has only completed the first stage. If all that was done, the natives didn't know how many more people would die.
Wang Yuze pondered for a moment, and then said: "Sue the Ninth Army, suspend the relevant operations first, and wait for the follow-up orders!" ”
Though. Wang Yuze doesn't care what the world thinks of China, after all. The most important thing is the tangible benefits you get. But if the imperial ** team continues to slaughter those natives at this time, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash. So, wait for the storm to pass before you do it slowly. And it would be much better to switch from such a large-scale operation with great fanfare to a small-scale operation in secret.
"Yes, Majesty, I see!" Xiong Wu nodded.
"By the way, the slaughter of the natives, the emperor ** team really can't do too much. However, you can leave it to someone else to do it! Wang Yuze said. Little Japan is very good at doing these things. Originally, Wang Yuze planned to wait until the next war began to recruit those small Japanese into the army as mercenaries. However, the current situation is a little bad, but it is possible to recruit a group of mercenaries from the retired Japanese army first, and let them do things that are inconvenient for the squadron.
"What does 陛xià mean?" Xiong Wu asked.
"Let the Second Army inform the Japanese side to recruit mercenaries among the retired Japanese soldiers, and then send these Japanese mercenaries to Nanyang and let them fight against those natives. In this way, we can not only complete the task of clearing out the natives, but also save the face of the empire and the reputation of the imperial team, and all we need to pay is only a small amount of money! Wang Yuze said with a smile.
"That's a good idea. However, the Japanese had just compromised, and many Japanese soldiers were still very hostile to the Empire. At this time, we recruit Japanese to form mercenaries, and if these Japanese bite us back, it will be troublesome! Xiong Wu said with some concern.
Wang Yuze nodded, and then said: "It's okay, we can recruit 10,000 people first and scatter them in various regions of the South Seas, so that there will be no storms." Besides, we have more than 100,000 troops in the South Seas, and these troops are not decorations. If the Japanese make any moves, they can be wiped out in an instant! In addition, these Japanese mercenaries, the weapons and equipment are not too good, just use the captured Japanese weapons, each person with a rifle and a bayonet, 10,000 people, give them some heavy machine guns, and the artillery does not need to be equipped. With such equipment, it should be enough to fight the natives. But if they dare to have different intentions, the Emperor ** team will soon be able to suppress them! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I know, I immediately ask the Second Army to take care of this matter!" Xiong Wu replied.
The next day, the mainstream newspapers of the empire reported the news that the imperial immigrants were massacred by the natives of the South Seas, and together with the photos, the tragic death of the imperial people caused a great shock. The original accusations against the imperial government have all disappeared, and for a time it was all a call for the imperial government and the army to severely punish these natives. Coupled with the newspaper reports on the colonization of the Americas and Africa by the Great Powers, the people of the Empire thought that it was not only the Empire that was killing the natives, but that the Great Powers had done it! All of a sudden, the massacre of the natives of the occupied territories became a matter of course. Those hypocrites don't dare to jump out anymore. At this time, if they dare to jump out and talk nonsense, it is estimated that without the government's action, the angry people will tear them to pieces. The people of the empire were killed in Nanyang, and the emperor's ** team avenged them, which was a matter of course! Whoever dares to jump out and talk nonsense is a sinner of the Empire!
The whole situation changed all at once. Western countries that were originally waiting to see the joke were also set on fire. Originally, they were also pushing shit under their butts in this matter, and they were still looking for trouble with China on this issue, didn't they make themselves uncomfortable? The Europeans who marched and protested against China also stopped in the face of the facts. If this is the case in their own country, what reason do they have to blame China? Except for a very small number of Europeans who are extremely thick-skinned and do not admit the crimes they committed at the beginning continue to shout, there is basically no opposition to China anymore.
And the squadron stopped the encirclement and suppression of the natives of the South Seas, which also gave the Europeans no excuse to continue to hold on. Of course, Britain first reported this incident to discredit China, which also made Wang Yuze hated by China. So, a batch of arms was quietly delivered to the Boers in one night. The Boers, who had already lost their spirit, as if they had been stimulated, once again launched a fierce attack on the British, and won a great victory.
The angry, British, after finding out the truth of the matter, accused the Chinese side of sabotaging the treaty they had signed. Naturally, the Chinese side did not admit that China had supported the Boers. The British could not produce conclusive evidence, and they could only fight with China, and after the navy had not yet recovered and was dragged into the quagmire of war in South Africa, they were simply powerless to take action against China.
After the end of the war between China and Japan, after more than half a year of recovery, the famine in Japan had been brought under control, and although the Japanese were still poor, there were very few people dying of starvation. In addition, a large number of Japanese went to China to work, whether they were working as coolies or in the service industry, they all earned a lot of foreign exchange for Japan. In addition, a large number of heavy polluting enterprises in China have moved into Japan one after another, and Japan's economy has begun to rapidly support the Soviet Union. It's just that the huge war reparations that Japan owes China of 5 billion Chinese dollars are still like a mountain, and Japan is overwhelmed. Although it will take three years to start paying, the new Japanese government headed by Saionji Konobu is still feeling a lot of pressure. What they can do is to send as many Japanese as possible to work in China and earn more foreign exchange so that they can repay the war reparations owed to China at that time.
However, despite China's rapid economic development, there are many Chinese people and jobs are not rich. Many Japanese people, except for a very small number of skilled workers, are only working as coolies or selling their bodies. Of course, Japanese prostitutes, with their obedient service style in the empire, also made them very popular in China and made a lot of money for Japan. Many rich Chinese have also become popular to marry a Japanese concubine, which makes the sales price of Japanese women rise.
However, the Japanese government still believes that incomes are too low, and that it is not enough to raise the living standards of Japanese people. However, under China's constraints, Japan is unable to develop industries that threaten China, which makes Japan's situation very difficult.
The Second Army stationed in Japan has become a sharp sword hanging over Japan's head, so that Japan does not dare to make any abnormal moves. Of course, the vast majority of Japanese people have already resigned themselves to their fate. The Japanese may be this character, as long as they are beaten badly, the more humble they become. After the Americans dropped two atomic bombs on Japan and killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese, didn't the Japanese treat the Americans as if they were their own fathers? The squadron killed a lot of Japanese in Japan, so the Second Army in Japan has completely become a storage like the Emperor!
