Chapter 1339: Resolute Suppression

The likes of Onodera Jiro, Mori Keiko, Shimazu Saiko, Yamauchi Toyotoshi and Nabeshima Shigeshige were not fools, and with a little thought, they could guess the intentions of the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire obviously had overwhelming power, but it did not suppress the rebellion as soon as it broke out, but sat back and watched the rebellion continue to expand.

"Shhh The appetite of the Chinese has far exceeded our expectations! It seems that this time, the rebel guys will pay an unimaginable price. I just don't know how many people will lose their heads this time. I'm afraid that the whole of Japan will be killed in a river of blood! Onodera Jiro couldn't help but gasp. Predictably, as the rebellion spread throughout Japan, all the hidden rebels were revealed. When the time comes, the Chinese Empire will definitely come forward to suppress it. And it was still the largest force that was dispatched to suppress it, and it is no wonder that the blood of the whole of Japan was not killed.

As the current top level of the Japanese government, Onodera Jiro and others have a much deeper understanding of China than others, and they also know the strength of the Chinese Empire. China, which won the world war, is the world's largest power. With a little finger, they could wipe out Japan. Even if there are 30 million people in Japan, it won't work. If the Chinese wanted, they could kill all the Japanese with a light yì. The most important thing that China lacks is its population, which is 20 times that of Japan.

"Now, the most important thing in front of us is not to care about the life or death of those damn people, but to think of a way to get us out of it. Otherwise, once the rebellion is put down. A few of us will definitely be unlucky! Nabeshima Shigeshige said. After all, they command the security forces. As a result, many people participated in this rebellion, which is simply a negligence! If the Governor's Mansion is going to deliberately embarrass them. You can just use this one to kill them.

"So what do we do now? The Chinese have laid out such a big game, will they want to put us in? Yamauchi was a little worried. In the beginning, they did not support the Zunwang Yiyi faction, hoping to let them come forward and drive the Chinese away. In this way, as the real power faction in the country, they will have more power. And there is no restraint from the Chinese Governor's Palace. But now it seems that no one dares to have such a mind anymore. They have already understood that this is simply the Chinese want to wipe out the Japanese resistance forces! If they're stupidly jumping in. The best result will definitely be solved by the Chinese! And now they have to find a way to get themselves out. They don't want to be killed by the Chinese like those rebels.

"There's no other way, everyone go back and get ready! Once the Chinese begin to suppress the rebellion, we must also act immediately, and we must not show mercy. Only by using the heads of those rebels can we show our loyalty to the Chinese. That's the only way. Only then will the Chinese continue to believe in us and will not attack us. Onodera Jiro said.

"Hmmm! Your Excellency Onodera is right, we have to draw a line with those guys. Although, the Honorable King Sect has developed quite a few people in our security army. However, you still have the core force in your hands! This strength is our most important strength! Shimazu also said. Though. The security army had only 20,000 men, and the heads of the four powerful clans each led 5,000 people. But. One of the most elite brigades is firmly in their hands. Not only are the weapons advanced, but the training is much better than that of other security forces, and the combat effectiveness is even more incomparable. Although the Zunwang Rebellion faction developed its strength among the security forces, they were unable to infiltrate the core forces of several feudal lords.

"Yes, that's all we have to do! Those guys are going to die themselves, but they can't drag us in! Maori nodded as well. One of the captains under his command became the controller of the military power of the Zunwang Zayi faction, which made him very annoyed, and he couldn't get over his face, and he was even more afraid that the governor's palace would think that he had something to do with the Zunwang Zaoyi faction because of this. In that case, even if you jump into the sea, you won't be able to wash it off.

"Hmmm! Now that you've made up your mind, let's go back and get ready! Mobilize our forces, find out the position of those leaders of the Zunwang Yi faction, and as soon as the suppression begins, we will immediately take action, capture them, and show merit to the Chinese! Onodera Jiro said.

The others all nodded, for the sake of their own lives, they were obviously planning to betray all the people of the Emperor's Sect. For the sake of himself, what compatriots and the like, all of them are not taken into account.

The rebellion that broke out in Japan was immediately transmitted back to China. Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao urgently announced that from now on, all routes to Japan will be suspended, and no civilian ships will be allowed to go to Japan except for military ships, and even those who have already docked in Japan will immediately set sail and return to China. If you go to Japan at this time, you will be treated as supporting the rebels.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff jointly issued a statement that from now on, the Japanese archipelago and the sea will become the most dangerous zone. No foreign ships or warships are allowed to enter Japan. Otherwise, it will be seen as a provocation to the empire. In addition, if the Empire finds out that a foreign power is involved in Japan's rebellion, the Empire will make them pay the price. At the same time, the Imperial Navy will also go to Japanese waters to blockade them.

The Ministry of the Interior has also issued a strict order, and the police departments throughout the empire will enter the state of promotion from now on. All Japanese in the empire must be monitored. Once a danger arises, it must be eliminated immediately. The garrisons within the empire will also cooperate with the actions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This is not because the empire is making a fuss, but because Japan is too close to the empire. The empire has been peaceful for more than ten years, and nothing like this has happened in the country except for the suppression of bandits. In particular, there are millions of Japanese people who have entered the country to work. If there were rebels among the Japanese, it would be a big problem. The empire hoped that the rebellion would be accused within Japan, and that it would never spread to the country. Therefore, those Japanese who were in the empire would also be the subject of key surveillance.

On the third day after the Japanese riots, Emperor Long Yufei convened a pre-imperial meeting, which was attended by cabinet ministers and military giants. The main purpose of the conference was to suppress the rebellion in Japan.

"It's been three days now, what's going on in Japan? Those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have all jumped out, right? Long Yufei asked. The reason why he delayed until this time to convene the Imperial Council was to wait for those who opposed the empire in Japan to jump out, so that he could take the opportunity to solve the problem once and for all.

"Your Majesty, the rebellion in Japan has spread throughout Japan. With the exception of Kyoto and Edo, almost all the cities were taken under the control of the rebels. However, none of the barracks of our garrisons in Japan were breached. According to the information received, the Japanese rebels are preparing to gather forces to march on Edo and Kyoto in order to destroy our rule in Japan. Marshal Luo Hongtao, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, said.

"Humph! The Japanese who are beyond their means. Long Yufei said disdainfully. These Japanese people are naturally prone to arrogance. Did they really think that without the connivance of the Empire, they would have grown so fast? If you are naïve enough to march to Edo and Kyoto, you are simply looking for death. Edo and Kyoto were the headquarters of the 15th and 29th Infantry Corps of the Imperial Army, respectively. In particular, Edo was still the seat of the Imperial Governor-General's Office in Japan, and if they were allowed to be attacked by the rebels, where would the face of the Empire go?

Besides, haven't all the military camps of the empire in various places been breached by the Japanese? On the contrary, it cost the Japanese dearly. Could it be that in the face of these heavy casualties, the Japanese have not yet come to their senses? If this is the case, then these Japanese people are too sad.

"Your Majesty, the General Staff has drawn up a plan for suppression. As long as the order is given, the 15th and 29th Infantry Corps of the Imperial Army can attack the rebels with skill-based attacks. In addition, the 12th and 16th armies of the Imperial Army, and the 4th Army of the Marine Corps can also arrive in Japan within half a month. A total of five armies, nearly 180,000 people, is enough to quell the Japanese rebellion! General Liu Zhongming, Chief of the General Staff, said. In response to the Japanese rebellion, the General Staff had already made a plan, and it could be said that it was waiting for the Japanese rebellion. Now that the Japanese have sent it to their door, naturally there is no need to give them another chance.

"Hmmm! Let the 15th Infantry Corps and the 29th Corps wait, the 12th and 16th Armies and the 4th Marine Corps can go to Japan. By the time they arrive, it's time to fight back! Long Yufei said. There were many Japanese rebels, and if they relied on the 15th and 29th armies alone, I am afraid that there would be a bitter battle.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Chief of the General Staff, General Liu Zhongming, nodded.

"Your Majesty, the Germans and the Ottoman Turkish Empire have expressed serious concern about the rebellion in Japan, and they hope that the Empire will guarantee their interests in Japan!" Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said.

"Humph! They have fart interests in Japan! Who told them to set up an office in Japan? In addition, the rebellion of these Japanese monkeys clearly has their support! Sue the Germans and Turks, the Reich will soon suppress the rebellion of the Japanese! Long Yufei said angrily. (To be continued......)
