On September 4, four days after the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan, the President and his entourage were discussing aid to Japan. We were shocked to learn ∝ we received a telegram that the embassy in Japan had been attacked by thugs and even active duty soldiers, especially those in the Ministry of Defense, who were very excited and shouted that this was war. When I saw the President's angry face, I knew that war was inevitable...

―――――― "My Diplomatic Career" by Gu Weijun.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Yan Shao is actually quite sympathetic to the disaster suffered by the Japanese, after all, they have also encountered similar things. Although Yan Shao did not experience the Tangshan earthquake in the early years, the earthquake in 08 can be said to be fresh in Yan Shao's memory―――――― although at that time, Yan Shao did not live in Sichuan.

In any case, in Yan Shao's opinion, since the Japanese suffered an earthquake, it is still appropriate to provide some help. Especially according to Zhang Lixin, after the Japanese suffered an earthquake, they suffered a fire, and it was a fire that spread throughout the city, almost no different from the bombing of Tokyo by the Americans back then, which is even more pitiful.

Who knows, just when Yan Shao was drinking juice with ice cubes and discussing with the cabinet how much aid should be provided, he would actually hear such a news...

Under the anger, Yan Shao immediately bit the ice cube in his mouth, which not only showed Yan Shao's good teeth, but also made many people, including Gu Weijun, understand that war seemed to be inevitable.

"Send a telegram to Shenyang!"

Heard Yan Shao's order. His secretary suddenly walked quickly to Yan Shao's side and made a picture of listening.

Meanwhile. Yan Shao ordered without hesitation.

"Let the artillery units of the assistants on the border with the DPRK at once, carry out shelling of all the targets that have been planned for a long time. Unless we shout a halt from our side, the shelling will never stop for a moment! The Air Force also immediately launched bombing on all Japanese military targets in Korea, and at the same time, the three military regions of Shenyang, Nanjing, and Guangdong immediately entered a state of combat readiness and were ready for war at any time! ”

"Yes!"

After re-reading it, and making sure that nothing had been missed, the secretary immediately ran to the telecommunications room with the telegram.

And after the secretary left, he circled around the same place twice, and finally Yan Shao couldn't help but scold.

"Damn, shame on your face!"

If it is said that the atrocities not long ago came to Yan Shao's ears. Yan Shao also thought that as long as the Japanese could give him an explanation that he was 'satisfied' with, then he would not be unacceptable. This incident made him completely angry, after all, when he was discussing the provision of assistance to Japan, the Japanese suddenly came to such a hand, which really slapped him in the face, and disappointed him even more, and at the same time, he completely lost confidence in the plan to use gentle means to entrap Japan.

"These cheap bones, if you don't fight, you can't do it, and the Americans beat them like that back then. They are as obedient as dogs, and I give them tenderness here, but they dare to repay me like that! ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Yan Shao's muttering voice was not particularly loud, but it was not very small either. At least Katerina, who was sitting next to Yan Shao, could be said to hear it clearly. However, for Yan Shao's words, Katerina was a little confused. Especially the sentence 'the Americans beat them up like that' back then, Katerina didn't understand what it meant. In the end, I only thought that Yan Shao was talking about the black ship incident that year.

The so-called Black Ship Incident refers to the July 1853 (the sixth year of Jiayong), the commander of the U.S. East India Fleet, Matthew ? General Perry. He led four warships to the mouth of Edo Bay and threatened the shogunate with force. A black modern ironclad warship in the fleet. It was the first time I saw it in my Japanese life. Perry presented the shogunate with a model train locomotive showing industrial civilization and the U.S. Navy landing in Yokohama, and the U.S. Navy landing telegraph in Yokohama, but the shogunate had to show its strength by carrying the rice in return by the soldiers. Perry's voyage shocked the Japanese and deeply felt the huge gap between Japan and foreign countries. The Japanese called the incident 'the coming of the black ship'. Since these four warships had a total of 63 cannons, and the range and firepower of Japan's coastal defense guns in Edo Bay at that time were only about 20 compared with these four warships, under the threat of opening fire without opening the country, the shogunate did not dare to refuse the request for the opening of the country, but it was afraid that after accepting the credentials brought by Perry, it would be attacked by the whole country, so the chief of the shogunate at that time, Nakabe Masahiro, used the excuse that the emperor had to approve the treaty before accepting it, and agreed that Perry would give a reply in the spring of the following year.

On February 13, 1854 (the 7th year of Kaei), Perry again led a fleet to Japan, this time with a total of seven warships, and the fleet went deep into Edo Bay until it reached the vicinity of Yokohama. As a result, the two sides signed the Japan-US Treaty of Amity in Yokohama, which was also the first unequal treaty between Japan and the Western powers. The other Western powers followed the United States and made trade demands to Japan, so Britain, Russia, the Netherlands, and other Western powers signed treaties of goodwill with Japan. Japan was forced to end the era of national isolation, and the shogunate system collapsed.

However, what Yan Shao said was not about this incident, but about some things that had happened in his history.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Anyway, this incident can be said to have made Yan Shao furious.

It is precisely for this reason that looking at Yan Shao with an angry face, few people in the cabinet dare to express a dissenting attitude at this time. In the end, several people, including Fu Xiuming, only gave Katarina on the side a look, hoping that she could stand up at this time.

Because at this time, it seems that only Caterina will not make Yan Shao even more annoyed.

After noticing their gaze, she smiled bitterly, and Caterina could only get up from her seat and walk to Yan Shao's side. comfortingly soothed Yan Shao's back.

I have to say that Katerina's approach still has some effect.

And obviously. Yan Shao also doesn't have the habit of losing his temper with women―――――― except, of course, some guys who are very and especially badly beaten.

Anyway. Under Katarina's soothing, Yan Shao finally calmed down a little.

Seeing that Yan Shao finally calmed down, Jiang Baili on the side spoke.

"President, do you need the Air Force to carry out this task independently, after all, the range of the army's artillery, I'm afraid there are not many artillery that can target the military targets of the Japanese army, if it is a civilian target......... Could the accidental injury be a little too big? ”

Originally, when Jiang Baili opened his mouth, many people, including Gu Weijun, looked over with some expectations, hoping that Jiang Baili could dissuade Yan Shao. Let Yan Shao not be so impulsive. Although this incident did make them angry, habit still made them hope to avoid war as much as possible.

However, who would have thought that Jiang Baili would say such a thing after standing up.

However, Jiang Baili himself didn't feel anything, after all, as a soldier, it was his duty to protect his family and defend the country. At the moment, the Japanese can be said to have stepped on their heads, and if they don't react somewhat, it will be really strange.

At the same time, after hearing Jiang Baili's words, he groaned for a while. Yan Shao also nodded.

"Okay, this mission will be carried out by the Air Force, anyway, before I give the order. The bombing campaign of the Air Force will never allow for a moment's pause! I'm going to make sure the damned Japanese understand what they have to pay for what they do! ”

"Yes!"

Grabbing his military hat on the table, he nodded to everyone present. Jiang Baili immediately walked outside.

This can almost be said to be the largest military operation since the establishment of the Air Force. Jiang Baili naturally needs to sit in charge in person.

At the same time, Cai Ye on the side had no intention of grabbing this mission.

The reason is simple. Just as Jiang Baili said, only a small part of the range of the army's artillery can hit the Japanese military targets―――――― after the end of the Korean War, the two countries signed an agreement that the Japanese army could not build any military facilities for a considerable distance.

It is also because of this relationship that even if the artillery is erected on the banks of the Yalu River, I am afraid that there will not be many artillery guns that can hit military targets in North Korea.

Even if you search the whole of China, I am afraid that there will be no more than ten guns with this range, after all, China is not Germany, and there is no need to build anything like a Paris cannon.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although Cai Ye didn't plan to grab this task, it didn't mean that he didn't want to grab other tasks, so Cai Ye soon spoke.

"President, do you want to let the troops in the northeast enter the predetermined positions first, and wait for the order of the General Staff?"

"Yes." After a deep groan, Yan Shao spoke. "Later, I will transfer some troops from Vladivostok, Beijing and several other military regions to the northeast."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao looked at the people present, especially those particularly famous lords and factions. "This time I will give the Japanese a chance to explain and explain, but if the Japanese do not explain clearly enough this time, then this will be our last war with the Japanese, do you understand?"

Everyone in the cabinet glanced at each other, and they were all a little shocked by the meaning of Yan Shao's words.

It's not because what Yan Shao said is a little vague, it's precisely because what Yan Shao said is too obvious, so they are a little unbelievable.

After a long time, I heard someone ask softly. "What do you mean, President?"

"Since the Japanese are so fond of making trouble for others, then we will simply do something good for future generations, so that they will never be able to make trouble for us." Speaking of this, Yan Shao snorted coldly.

Originally, Yan Shao also planned to let this Eastern civilization, except for China, the only power that could meet the standards of the great powers join his camp through the way of enveloping. But now that the Japanese are so shameless, Yan Shao has no choice but to change his ways.

"And with the way the Japanese behave, even if they do join us, I am afraid that we will need to be careful in the future, and in that case, it is better to simply use force. Let them submit to us completely, so that we will not always be on guard in the future. ”

So to speak. Yan Shao felt more and more that his idea was too perfect.

That's right, the way of wrapping. The resistance of the Japanese will certainly be minimal.

But the problem is that since it is a generalization, even if the position of the Japanese in the new alliance is lower than that of China, it will not necessarily be much lower, and the two are more like an alliance than a superior-subordinate relationship.

If there is an alliance, then there will inevitably be betrayal, right?

According to Japanese customs. Even if Yan Shao really formed an alliance with them, I am afraid that he would need to be careful to guard against their possible betrayal in the future. In this case, it is better to simply beat the violent mammary glands and let them completely sink and fall, just like the United States in later generations―――――― you see, how perfectly the United States in later generations tamed the Japanese!

I'm sorry, but the next one will be made up immediately!!

Half an hour!!
