Chapter 727

Although Yan Shao could have suppressed public opinion in the country in a tough way, he was unwilling to do so, because it would affect the prestige he had built up so hard. Although a little influence on Yan Shao is nothing at all, if possible, Yan Shao still hopes to ensure his influence in the country relatively well, after all, these can be regarded as his hard work

As for the solution that is said to be more perfect, in fact, where in this world can it be called perfect, at least Yan Shao's method is definitely not the word perfect.

It can even be said that there is a good chance that it will cause a very big controversy.

But for Yan Shao, there seems to be only one way at this stage

There is only one way to solve the dilemma he is facing today.

First, though, he needs a big win to cement his authority at home.

Of course, this is not to say that he can't force it now, but that it will still damage his prestige after all. On the other hand, if it is a big victory in TongguΓ², then the outcome of the matter will be more ideal.

Because under the circumstance of the power of the great victory, Yan Shao can completely solve the domestic problem lightly―――――― Yan Shao has also considered whether to implement a few policies that he has been considering for a long time in the country, so as to win the hearts of the people while ensuring the smooth flow of things.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Yan Shao still gave up.

Because if you do that, it's a bit too much like buying people's hearts. In comparison, if you win a big game, I believe things will be much simpler. It's also perfect too. The most important thing is that he can look better on the face―――――― Yan Shaoke is a person with a good face.

――――――――――――――――――――

To win a big victory is to win on the battlefield.

Generally speaking, victory on the battlefield is the best way to gain prestige.

But there is also a disadvantage to this, that is, if the final result is not a victory but a defeat, then things will become complicated, and if it is not done well, it may even affect the support of the Chinese people for Yan Shao. Then doing it is simply moving stones and smashing feet, and it can even be said to be a cocoon and self-restraint

It is precisely because of this that Yan Shao looked at Caterina in front. Because Caterina is the wings of hope for his victory―――――― as once said, even the British MI6 or the American Bureau of Investigation cannot help but admit that the other party is the world's largest spy agency, and they can only be relegated to a secondary position.

And intelligence. Obviously one of the main factors in the victory

As for the big win. To be more precise, it is the opponent who opened the knife, and Yan Shao chose Japan

Blind Yan Shao has many targets to choose from, such as Soviet Russia, Japan, and those colonies of Britain and France in Southeast Asia.

Strictly speaking, all three are good goals.

Soviet Russia, China has a very good reason to do it, after all, in all aspects. The ideology that Soviet Russia believes in is the sworn enemy of the Nationalist government, and it is really a matter of course for Yan Shao to take Soviet Russia under attack.

Here's the problem. At present, Yan Shao and Soviet Russia have cooperation in private after all. Moreover, not long ago, Yan Shao brought Kolchak into China, and at the same time allowed the later provisional government to set up a government-in-exile in China, which had greatly angered Soviet Russia.

And at the moment, it is definitely a very unwise thing to fall out with Soviet Russia

After all, in the future, China and Soviet Russia still have a very wide space for cooperation, and Yan Shao must also consider Luo Wenying's safety. Although these people had already signed a suicide note when they went to Soviet Russia, if possible, Yan Shao still hoped that they could come back alive, after all, Luo Wenying was also his old subordinate, unless necessary, Yan Shao would never sacrifice him

――――――――――――――――――――

Since Soviet Russia is not a good target, then it seems that there are only two left, one is Britain, France and the United States in Southeast Asia, and the other is Japan in Korea.

The former should actually be divided into several countries, including even countries like the Netherlands―――――― among the many countries with colonies in Southeast Asia, the Netherlands is undoubtedly the best one.

However, the blind Yan Shao already had great contradictions with Soviet Russia and Japan, and of course there may be conflicts with Britain and France, but the current relationship between the two sides is still relatively relaxed after all, and he has offended everyone in this way, which can no longer be described as unwise, and can be evaluated as stupid

Of course, Yan Shao can also not challenge all the countries first, he can come one by one, for example, first find France or the United Kingdom, or the United States and the Netherlands―――――― from a general point of view, the Netherlands is obviously the most suitable target, after all, the strength of the Netherlands is the weakest among all countries, even if the strength of the Chinese Navy is not very strong, it can still solve the Netherlands relatively lightly.

However, the great powers were not idiots, and if they were, it would not be possible for white people to follow the footprints of the whole world. It's good to solve them one by one, but the question is that people will look at you one by one? The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, if you find someone to do it directly, maybe the final result is that everyone will do it with you. Even if that country is the weakest Netherlands.

Naturally, at this stage, with the strength of all countries greatly damaged, the possibility of direct conflict between the two sides is indeed unlikely, but others are enough to give Yan Shao a headache. So this choice was quickly ruled out by Yan Shao.

Although if you take those colonies in Southeast Asia and liberate the people there, it is easy for the people at home to see them as part of the great revival, and it is easy to gain great prestige, so great that it can help Yan Shao solve many problems.

――――――――――――――――――――

Since those guys in Europe can't do it, then it seems that the only thing left is Japan.

At this stage, it seems that only Japan is the most suitable.

At this time, the conflict between China and Japan over the Yalu River had been going on for half a year, and in that half-year period, both sides had paid a very heavy price, both in terms of casualties and other aspects

At the outset of the conflict, the Great Powers had already begun to mediate, demanding that the two countries immediately withdraw their troops from each other's territory to end the conflict.

However, after half a year of mediation, neither side paid attention to the flirting of the foreign powers―――――― the reason is very simple, because it is a big question who will evacuate from the other party's territory first.

Not to mention that in addition to this issue, there is also the issue of compensation.

China and Japan insist that each other first withdraw from their own territory and then compensate for their own losses in the conflict, which casts a shadow over the issue of withdrawal.

――――――――――――――――――――

In the mediation of the great powers, Yan Shao insisted that Japan provoked this conflict, and that it was Japan that launched a despicable and shameless sneak attack on China first, and caused extremely large human and financial losses to China, so Japan should withdraw its troops from Dandong first, and at the same time compensate China, and then talk about other issues

On the Japanese side, the Japanese government avoided the sneak attack, emphasized Japan's losses in this conflict, and demanded that China withdraw its troops first

Generally speaking, the difference in conditions between the two sides is huge, and when the two sides stopped, China insisted that it was the victim―――――― even if China occupied many cities in Korea, while Japan only occupied half of it, and China deliberately let Japan occupy it, otherwise Japan would have been driven back to Korea long ago, and of course, then China would not seem to have any reason to continue to rely on Korea.

Although on the surface, Dandong was crippled and China's losses were not small, but in fact, China's losses this time were not small, but compared with Japan, they took a big advantage

The Great Powers expressed their support for China's self-victim remarks at that time, after all, they could not ignore the facts, not to mention that China is not easy to bully today, and the most important thing is that the Great Powers are also very angry at Japan's 'troublesome' behavior.

It's just that although the great powers have already put pressure on Japan, and it seems that Japan should also understand the issue of advance and retreat, but I don't know why, Japan just stiffened its neck and demanded that China withdraw its troops first, and did not pay much attention to the issue of reparations.

The final result is that the conflict is still happening until now, but the Japanese side is a little unable to hold on, after all, the border conflict that has lasted for half a year is said to be a conflict, but in fact the scale is not less than that of an ordinary war. Although the scale of the war is certainly not comparable to that of the First World War in Europe, one only needs to consider that during the First World War, Britain's debt was nearly 7 billion pounds, and one can imagine the extent of Japan's financial pressure today.

In contrast, although the pressure on China is also great, it can still be barely supported.

If we really want to fight like this, maybe Japan will not be consumed, but I am afraid that all the benefits gained in this war will be thrown into this war

Therefore, the most anxious at this moment is Japan, just

Although the Japanese government wants peace talks, it is absolutely impossible to let them withdraw their troops first, even if those reasonable politicians are willing, those generals on the front line, and those soldiers who have great influence in Japan will not agree, and this is probably the only obstacle in the peace talks (to be continued......
