Chapter 346 Beijing Convention
Seeing that Komura Shoutaro's attitude of admitting his mistake was more sincere, Emperor Yang's face was slightly better, and he thought for a while and said: "In this way, if such a thing happens, as a business manager, I will suspend the director of the Sendai factory for inspection, and deal with some of the main responsible persons for this accident, but for those who maliciously obstruct the normal operation of the factory, we must severely punish the Diao people." ”
"Understood, Your Majesty, we will definitely take care of it." Komura hurriedly said.
"Well, I'm still more confident in your ability, sometimes you have to learn to use harsh methods, if this matter is not handled well, not only will it affect my follow-up investment plan, but also some projects in Japan now have no need to continue.
You must know that development must come at a price, and I don't need to say how much benefit a high-tech factory can bring you, and which is more important than those dead people.
What are you afraid of when you die, compared with your economic development, if there is an accident, hundreds of people will die, and thousands of people will have nothing to worry about, this is the same as fighting a war, what hundreds of thousands of people want to die in a war is not the same as national development? The accumulation of capital must be laid on the basis of blood and bones, and you must treat this as a war. Yang Feng continued.
After receiving the will of His Majesty the Emperor, the current Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Kowang immediately transferred two wings of the 1st Division from Tokyo to the north, replacing the ineffective Sendai garrison, and then suppressed the Japanese besieging the Monsanto factory by force, and even used tear gas purchased from China.
The people in the one-eyed dragon's hometown are still relatively strong, and those desperate Japanese even clashed with the army, hundreds of people were killed and injured in the conflict, and then nearly 1,000 people were arrested and put in prison, especially the leaders of some secret trade union organizations who took the lead in organizing workers to make trouble, and were even forced to commit suicide in prison.
Emperor Yang only knew at this time. It turns out that there is still a director behind the whole thing.
"Katayama diving, Abe Isoo, Kotoku Akisui, are all big shots!" Looking at the list of strike organizers that the Intelligence Department had just investigated, Emperor Yang seemed to feel that he had discovered a new continent.
"Your Majesty, news from the Japanese side that they are ready to shoot these people to set an example." Yuan Shikai said with a smile.
"No, tell the Japanese, and say that I intercede for these people, and release them along with the other workers' representatives whom they have arrested. There are already quite a few people who have died for this, and there should be no more bloodshed. Emperor Yang said while pretending to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
The squire looked at him in amazement, as if he felt a little incredulous.
"Look at what, these people are of great use, they and their set of things, what they are best at is to disturb a country, we must always be vigilant about Japan, we must not give this country any chance to get up, they have endured humiliation all these years. It's fast enough, do you think I've forgotten about them?
Why do I have to make it necessary for the Japanese government to deal with the Sendai incident in this way? Do you think I really care about that bit of compensation? The Japanese are very poor, and they are still on the silver standard, and the People's Bank now has deposits. Just a little bit is enough to make them grateful to Dade and then work for me wholeheartedly.
However, I insisted that the Japanese government use such a method, which is likely to cause endless troubles, in order to create antagonism among their peaceful people, and the support of the Japanese for the government is too terrible. When I think about the Japanese women who go out to sell meat and make money without regrets, I feel a little chilled, so I want Japan to never get up. It is necessary to bring their people completely to the opposite side of the government.
We can do this, and so can other Japanese capitalists, and slowly the Japanese people will find that their government simply treats them as cattle and horses, and the ideas spread by these people are the easiest way to arouse the people's sense of resistance, and our goal is to make Japan chaotic, completely chaotic.
As for the factories in Japan, they are nothing compared to a Japan that is forever struggling in turmoil. Emperor Yang said with a cruel smile.
"Is that really that scary?" Yuan Shikai said in disbelief.
"Of course, that is the ultimate destructive force of order, once it is not handled well, it will ruin our current good situation, order the intelligence department to pay attention, if you find any spread of these things, you will be killed, do not kill publicly, our speech is free, we will not prohibit the spread of any ideas, but we can take other ways, traffic accidents, robbery, inexplicable diseases, it is okay, in addition to supporting some gang members in the country who are under our control, Sometimes ordinary criminal cases are also useful. Emperor Yang said viciously.
He is building a big capitalist, a country controlled by a consortium, so he is extra careful about those dangerous things, although he likes to export these things, but it is absolutely impossible to let them spread in the country, for this in a sense, his biggest enemy, every means can be used.
Although Yuan Shikai didn't understand it very well, the first time Emperor Yang showed Xiàn to be so careful, it made him feel unusual, since this was the case, he hurried to follow Emperor Yang's explanation.
The Sendai industrial accident did not have much impact on the world, at this time Japan was almost a forgotten land in the world, the only people who cared about them were the British, but Britain was the base camp of the People's Radio and the Tomorrow Daily, and the British government and capitalists were not interested in touching Emperor Yang's head for the Japanese, and this kind of thing was not shocking in Europe. If you really want to expose each other, no one looks good.
It was at this time that the British finally achieved a victory worth celebrating in South Africa, they occupied Bloemfontein after a hard battle, which meant that the Republic of Orange was also settled by them, and now only the Transvaal remained, and the British Empire had more than 50,000 casualties in that distant colony so far, especially in the later stages of the Battle of Bloemfontein, the two sides even developed a large-scale mustard gas confrontation, and it was with the numerical superiority of poison gas bombs that the British army finally captured the city.
At least 5,000 British soldiers fell forever in the yellow poisonous mist, and more than 3,000 Boers died from the British poison gas bombs, and the tragic scene of corpses all over the battlefield completely frightened those reporters who reported the war from Europe in the past.
"This is very deserved, not only mustard gas, including phosgene that the Americans are using on the battlefield in Mexico, these two cruel weapons should not continue to be used on the battlefield, whether it is the Chinese royal family or the government, we are very willing to sign a convention with all countries to prohibit the use of mustard gas and phosgene." Emperor Yang said righteously.
The Americans had officially started a war with the Mexicans at this time, but the Mexican People's Liberation Army under the leadership of Santos had the belief in defending their homeland and the support of advanced Chinese arms, despite the lack of training, but the combat effectiveness was still very strong. However, the Mexicans opposite them are also not lacking in this thing, what kind of person is Santos, they are all at the level of playing poison gas ancestors, naturally they will not forget to match their own army with this kind of good thing, and the gas war between the two sides is getting out of control.
The ministers of various countries who came to contact this issue did not pay too much attention to the prohibition of mustard gas and phosgene proposed by Emperor Yang, instead of directly using the word poison gas bombs, everyone is a smart person, and naturally they all know that they should leave a line, and if a new type of poison gas is developed one day, they will naturally not be restricted by this convention.
Because Emperor Yang was the first to advocate the ban on gas bombs, in order to save face, all countries decided to simply sign the treaty in Beijing, including the United States and Mexico, which were at war, and even the Confederate States of America.
As a matter of fact, the Americans and the Mexicans have also been poison gas for each other on the battlefield, and now more than 50,000 people from the two countries have fallen under each other's poison gas bombs.
There were no twists and turns in the negotiations, and the bloody facts had long proved that the result of the mass gas bombs was to destroy each other, and even those who had not yet used them had been deeply educated, and the Beijing Convention, which soon banned the use of mustard gas and phosgene, was officially signed under the abbot of Emperor Yang, and the representatives of various countries solemnly signed their names on the convention.
"Your Majesty, I have to say that your kindness has saved the lives of countless soldiers." At the reception after the signing ceremony, the French negotiator, the minister to China, Bi Sheng, raised his glass and complimented Emperor Yang, who did not know that the emperor had postponed the attack on Vietnam for half a month in order to wait for them to sign the treaty so that he could beat them.
"Your Excellency, every qiē is for peace!" Emperor Yang raised his wine glass and gestured, and said with a smile. (To be continued......)
