Chapter 748: Guards with Knives
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the situation is terrible, at least more than 100,000 people have died and 2 million have been displaced in the earthquake. And at this time, the problem of counterfeit money arose, and all countries came together to put pressure on Japan. ”
Hirohito heard the report of his subordinates, his brows were furrowed, his face was very gloomy, his father Emperor Taisho was in poor health, and as the regent crown prince, he naturally had to deal with this big trouble, but it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and in the face of such a bad situation, he couldn't think of any ideas.
At present, Japan has three main problems: the first is disaster relief, the second is the restoration of order, and the third is financial stability. These three are interrelated, without stable order, there is no way to focus on disaster relief, if you can't stabilize the finances, you can't restore order, but when the government spends most of its energy on disaster relief, it can't stabilize the financial markets.
Japan had fallen into a terrible situation, and the bad situation was testing the young Hirohito, he turned around the ground a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to the staff around him: "Go, tell everyone that it was the Koreans who printed the holiday yuan, and it was they who angered the gods, and all the heavens will send disasters and morally judge all Koreans!" ”
Hirohito is indeed worthy of being the number one war criminal in the future, and his ability to transfer contradictions is indeed amazing, and in the face of an almost unsolvable situation, he can only take a sidestep with his sword, first set up a target to vent his anger, transfer his hatred to the North Koreans, and stabilize the social order by denouncing the North Koreans in large numbers.
Otherwise, if there is any trouble at this time, it will be an accomplice of the DPRK, and it is also ill-intentioned, and the Japanese have already transferred 50,000 soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition to be stationed in Tokyo, and as long as order is stabilized, they will be able to solve other problems. It's just that with this method, how many innocent North Koreans will die, that is, Hirohito doesn't care.
……
"Vice President, I found a person named Wang Xitian in Tianjin Port, he ran back from Japan, and there is an important situation."
Zhang Tinglan frowned, and couldn't help asking, "Who is this Wang Xitian?" ”
Liu Shaoqing hurriedly said: "He is a native of Changchun, a publicly-funded student in Japan, and during his time in Japan, he helped Chinese workers protect their rights and interests many times. He also hired a Japanese lawyer to ask for wages for Chinese workers, and was very respected among Chinese workers in Japan. ”
When Zhang Tinglan heard Liu Shaoqing's introduction, she was vaguely impressed. Then he asked, "What's the matter with him?" ”
"Vice President, the Japanese after the earthquake. Blame others. It is said that the North Koreans blasphemed the gods and caused the disaster. As a result, the streets were full of denunciations against North Koreans, and even beheadings, and thousands of North Koreans were killed. At the same time, Chinese workers in Japan were also affected, and more than 300 Chinese workers were brutally killed, and dozens more were injured. ”
Zhang Tinglan listened. The brows also stood up: "Haven't you already exchanged a large number of Chinese laborers, why are so many people still dead?" ”
"Vice President, we are mainly Jishu workers in exchange, and some Chinese workers are due to various reasons. He was also reluctant to return to China, and in this massacre, he was affected. ”
In the original history, the Chinese government and the people did their best to donate money and materials to the Japanese, but in exchange for the revenge of the Japanese, more than 700 Chinese laborers were killed, and more than 600 people died on the spot.
In the face of the disaster, the Japanese exposed their animalistic nature in their bones, and in order to cover up the government's incompetence in disaster relief, they used Chinese and Koreans as scapegoats.
This time, due to the outbreak of the holiday yuan, the earthquake relief work was delayed for a longer time, the chaos was even greater, and the outside world got the news much later than in history. However, the paper can't contain the fire, and Zhang Tinglan just wants to use this bloody incident to teach a lesson to the guys who hold the banner of humanitarianism in China.
There are always some people who think that they can be superior to others under the banner of beauty, and they can perform at will and criticize others to their heart's content. But you have universal feelings, the other party may not have, the enemy is always showing his teeth and claws, choosing people to eat.
"Immediately arrange for reporters to interview Wang Xitian, expose the truth, and at the same time let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs lodge the most serious protest with Japan."
Liu Shaoqing hurriedly went to make arrangements, but Zhang Tinglan suddenly grabbed him again, and said with a sneer: "These two points alone can't make the Japanese feel pain, find a way to walk this matter to the Korean Peninsula, and tell those Koreans that Japan wants to slaughter all Koreans in order to eliminate the anger of the gods." ”
When Liu Shaoqing heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up: "Vice President, this method is too good, let them go dog-eat-dog, no matter how many people die, they don't have to feel distressed." ”
More than a dozen reporters rushed to Tianjin, and Wang Xitian told them about the nightmare he had just experienced, but he still gritted his teeth: "At that time, there were rumors in Tokyo and nearby counties that North Koreans had thrown poison into the fire. So with all the strength of the military police, the Youth League, the citizens, and the villagers, they wantonly killed people, young and old, men and women. The most terrible people are the Koreans and the Chinese people, and they are often mentioned together. Chinese As a result, he suffered a heinous catastrophe, and was deliberately killed and humiliated, and countless people were killed, and they were not ......treated as human beings."
After Wang Xitian finished his introduction, he suddenly ripped off his shirt, and there was a hideous wound under his ribs, which was cut by the Japanese with a saber. However, he escaped and encountered a Chinese cargo ship, which the owner brought him back to China, and it was already October.
Due to excessive blood loss and infection, Wang Xitian lay in bed for nearly two months, still relying on penicillin, barely survived, and after recovering a little, the truth was revealed.
The various deeds of the Japanese have finally been exposed to the world, and those guys who are full of universal feelings and call for donations to Japan have been slapped heavily and have become a laughing stock at once.
Japan is fundamentally a country of beasts, without a little humanity, let alone humanitarianism, for Japan, weaker than him, he is a man-eating wolf, stronger than him, he is a dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy. There is servility, there is wildness, that is, there is no humanity.
This large-scale report and condemnation have completely destroyed the dream of some Chinese elites to take Japan as a teacher since the Restoration of Civil Rule. If Zhang Tinglan cleaned up several times to physically eliminate the pro-Japanese faction, this time it completely shook the spiritual pillar of the pro-Japanese faction, and the developed and advanced Japan with a strong civilization was shattered.
There is only a barbaric and brutal country, and at this time, more and more Chinese also agree more and more with Zhang Tinglan's proposition, China's biggest backwardness is that it has not completed industrialization, and has been defeated repeatedly, which will cause the result that everything to look up to foreigners will be brought to a level, and the quality of the so-called nationals of the great powers is just that.
The domestic public opinion war against Japan has been rising wave after wave, and Shao Piaoping has also personally organized a denunciation of Japan, this time it is not just as simple as criticizing Japan. Instead, it is necessary to tell all Chinese the essence of shijie, unite the people's hearts and minds, unify their thinking, and work together for the development of industrialization.
At the same time, it also eliminated the humility and cowardice accumulated in the bones of the Chinese in the past hundred years, so that nationalism could be released, and the people would be more confident and more high-spirited. The era of industrialization is an era where opportunities are everywhere and people with low self-esteem cannot survive.
Of course, boosting morale can not only rely on propaganda, but also have tangible things, and in December 23, two 10,000-ton warships braved the wind and waves and returned to China from Europe.
These two warships are the two heavy cruisers built by Italy for China, and since Mussolini came to power in 22 years, the warships have begun to lay keels and step up manufacturing. It lasted more than a year, and by June 23, the two warships had been completed one after another.
In order to familiarize himself with the performance of these two large ships, Shen Honglie personally took a group of naval elites to Europe to learn from the Italians how to operate warships and how to conduct naval battles.
After a few months of study, Shen Honglie and the others completely mastered the key to the use of warships, and then drifted across the ocean and finally returned to China.
As China got closer and closer, Shen Honglie was still a little worried, the last time the Mackensen came back, the Japanese launched a volley, which detonated the Sino-Japanese war. This time, the two complete warships returned home, but I am afraid that the Japanese will not be reconciled.
Shen Honglie and the others maintained full vigilance, and after crossing the Strait of Malacca, they were extremely cautious, as if they were walking on thin ice. It wasn't until he approached Guangzhou and other places that the warships and planes that China came to greet him appeared, and Shen Honglie relaxed a lot.
Like the stars and the moon, the two large ships sailed through the Taiwan Strait and headed north to the home port of Lushun. There were a large number of troops escorting them along the way. When sailing through the East China Sea, there were indeed Japanese warships, but they were just small boats watching the excitement.
Japan, which had not yet come out of the shadow of the earthquake, really did not want to start a war with China, and the two warships finally returned to Arthur safely.
When the huge warship entered the port, the countless navy and workers who had gathered here were all in tears. Finally, twenty or thirty years after the disappearance of the Beiyang Naval Division, China once again had large warships, the navy was rebuilt, and the Chinese, after a painful defeat, finally began to embrace sea power again.
After the warship docked, Shen Honglie took the lead in getting off the ship and saluted Zhang Tinglan with a standard military salute.
"Report to the vice president, humiliate yourself in your duty and bring the heavy cruisers Jilin and Harbin back to China safely!"
"Okay, everyone has worked hard, it is our mission to rebuild the navy and reshape the sea power, and China's 10,000-mile sea frontier can no longer become a paradise for the free entry and exit of the great powers. Threats come from the sea, wealth also comes from the sea, and you shoulder the mission of the prosperity and development of the country, so you must be more diligent and harder. ”
After finishing his speech, Zhang Tinglan, accompanied by Shen Honglie, personally boarded the Jilin ship and visited it with great interest.
"Vice President, during the sea trials, the Jilin ship ran at a speed of 31 knots, and in the future, it will accompany the aircraft carrier to fight, there will be no problem at all, and the aircraft carrier formation will finally have a knife escort!" (To be continued......)
