Chapter 809: Problem Solving
For many, the meeting in Beijing may have been a meeting between China, a vast empire of more than 500 million people, and a small party with a total membership of just over 1,000 people, which makes the meeting seem insignificant. But it is an indisputable fact that the significance of this meeting was very important and far-reaching, because it meant that two countries in the modern history of the Far East, which had always been in a state of hostility, met for the purpose of cooperation for the first time. Although the organization with China is so small that many consider it a trivial meeting, there is no doubt that if the two only powers in the Far East were to unite, they would have an unusually large impact on the interests of the Great Powers in the Far East and in Asia as a whole, especially after China had already made its way into Europe. Therefore, in the face of such a seemingly insignificant meeting, we should not treat it with a contemptuous attitude at all, especially when the ideas of this 'small party' called the "Xingya Society" are very dangerous, because such an insignificant meeting is likely to affect the results of the hundreds of years of efforts of the Great Powers in the Far East ββββββThe Washington Post"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
For many people, Yan Shao's monstrous meeting with Miyazaki may be just a trivial matter, and there is no need to even care about it. The reason is also very simple, because the monstrous Miyazaki who met him and the [Xingyahui] behind him are too insignificant, especially the Xingyahui. Today, it is just a small organization with only about 1,000 members.
Compared to China, with a population of more than 500 million and a territory of more than 20 million square kilometers, Miyazaki and his Koyakai are not even ants.
And because of this. Many people regarded Yan Shao's gesture as Corporal Lixian, and they didn't care much about this meeting. There are many people in China who don't understand why Yan Shao treats Miyazaki monstrous such a Japanese who doesn't seem to be very goodββββββ especially after considering that he and Sun Yat-sen are close friends, you must know that Yan Shao's hatred of Sun Yat-sen is not news in China, and the complicated relationship between the two is a well-known thing. Over the years. Not to mention Sun Yat-sen himself, even Sun Yat-sen's followers want to return to the mainland, it is not an easy task.
And many people know that Miyazaki and Sun Yat-sen are friends. I believe Yan Shao also knows, why would Yan Shao allow him to come to China? even took the initiative to invite Miyazaki and gave him a very high-standard treatment?
This incident really made many people a little confused. Especially when you consider the speed of change in China today. It also gives them a feeling that the world is changing too fast.
But unlike these people, there are always some smart people in this world. After all, the world is controlled by smart people.
It is precisely because of this that Yan Shao has just met with Miyazaki, which has attracted the attention of the great powers. Even established newspapers such as the Washington Post and The Times reported on the incident after the monstrous meeting between Yan Shao and Miyazaki, and set up a special feature.
In the eyes of this few smart people. This meeting was too dangerous. Especially the idea of the 'Xingya Society'. The idea of the Xingya Society is very simple, that is, to unite with China. If this idea is allowed to come true, the efforts of the Great Powers in the Far East for hundreds of years will probably be lost, and this is undoubtedly unacceptable to the Great Powers.
It is precisely because of this that after the Xingya Society's visit to China, Britain and the United States and other countries even contacted Japan privately, hoping that the Japanese government could ban organizations like the Xingya Society, and even simply ban organizations with similar ideas when necessaryββββββ when it comes to safeguarding their own interests, the great powers have always been unscrupulous...
You know, one of the reasons why they have always supported Japan in its confrontation with China is to curb China's expansion. Another reason is the desire to make China and Japan, the only two powers in the world that are not part of the Western world, consume each other.
In a world dominated almost entirely by Western countries, China and Japan, the only two countries in the yellow world, are too much of an eyesore...
At least in the eyes of the Powers...
If China and Japan were to unite, even if it seemed to be only a slight possibility, this would definitely not be tolerated by the Great Powers.
In fact, after annexing two-thirds of the territory of Russia, and at the same time owning the lands of the Middle East. Today's China is so strong that it chills the hearts of the great powers, especially when China is not only a population and territorial power, but also an industrial power.
After the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, China firmly occupies the fourth place in the world. And unlike Britain and Germany. In the case of the United Kingdom, its steel production capacity has basically reached a bottleneck, not that it cannot continue to increase its production capacity, but because even if it does increase its production capacity, where will he find a market that can meet this capacity?
It is for this reason that steel production in the UK has been steadyββββββ in other words, capacity growth has been slow.
How to say it...
In 1900, that is, the first year of the twentieth century, Britain's crude steel production was 4.98 million tons, Germany's production capacity was 6.616 million tons during the same period, and the United States' production capacity was 10.352 million tonsββββββ it should be noted that in 1901 and 1902, Britain's crude steel production was still 4.98 million tons, but it increased to 498.3 in 01 and 498.8 in 02.
By 1910, Britain's crude steel production had reached 6.47 million tons, an increase of about 1.5 million tons. In the same period, Germany's crude steel production reached 13.696 million tons. The United States has increased to 26.514 million tons...
It can be said that crude steel production in Germany has tripled in 10 years, while the United States is a little more terrifying. It's almost two and a half times bigger.
In contrast, in the UK, crude steel production has increased by more than a third in 10 years. Although this is not a small number compared to ordinary countries, compared with Germany and the United States, it can only be described as pitiful. Even Japan has grown from 1,000 tons to 252,000 tonsββββββ of course, this is also related to Japan's weak foundation.
In 1913, the crude steel production of the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States was 7.787 million tons each. 18.935 million tons and 31.803 million tons.
It can be seen how fast the steel production of Germany and the United States is growing, compared to the United Kingdom, although the steel production is also very strong. Ranked third in the world, but the gap with the United States and Germany is too big...
Naturally, this steel production, second only to the United States, is the fundamental reason why Germany dares to challenge Britain, France and Russia at the same time. Because in 1913. It is only natural that Germany produces more steel than all three countries combinedββββββ The U.S. produces less steel than the rest of the six powers combined.
By the end of the First World War, Britain's crude steel production had increased somewhat, but it was only about 9 million tons, and Germany's defeat had dropped from more than 18 million to more than 8.5 million. Only U.S. steel production has climbed all the way to more than 40 million tons...
It can be said that the title of the United States is the world's first industrial power. Absolutely worthy of the name.
If it weren't for the fact that the military strength of the United States is not very strong, and the strong domestic industrial strength wants to be converted into military strength, it will take a long time, or even at least a year, to do so.
And what about China, on the other hand...
After the development during the First World War, the steel production capacity has been greatly improved, reaching more than 8 million tons, second only to Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Merely...
Although China is still only the fourth largest steel producer, it is probably clear to anyone that it is only a matter of time before China overtakes Germany and the United Kingdom in this regard.
The reason is also very simple, because the British market is basically saturatedββββββ in the original history, Britain climbed from 7.787 million tons before the war, that is, in 1913, all the way to 9.692 million tons.
However, until 1929, Britain's crude steel production did not exceed the 10 million mark, and in 1929 the British crude steel production was about 9.791 million tons. In the early 30s, Britain's crude steel production even fell into a state of regression, such as 5.286 million tons in 1931, until 1934 it recovered to 8.992 million tons, and in 1935 successfully entered the 10 million tons mark, reaching 10.017 million tons. Of course, Britain can't be blamed for this, who said that period happened to be the Great Depression...
In fact, at that time, not only the United Kingdom, but even the United States fell from more than 40 million tons to more than 20 million tons. However, Germany is more proud, because no matter what period of Germany, even during the Great Depression, Germany's steel industry was also affected, and its production capacity is still higher than that of the United Kingdom.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
It can be said that after hundreds of years of world dominance and the first to enter the industrial age, it is indeed difficult for Britain to increase its production capacity in steel and even other aspects, especially when they still need to face competition from Americans.
In contrast, China, with a population of more than 500 million and a vast territory, is like a virgin land, still waiting for others to develop hereββββββ at least most of China...
Just as Yan Shao has been working hard to develop China's infrastructure for a long time, investing a lot of money in it every year. With this investment, China's infrastructure has been greatly developed, of course. For this reason, the government also owed Yan Shao a lot of money.
But on the other hand, compared to the vast territory of China today, this investment is far from enough...
In fact, except for the railway. Highways, viaducts, skyscrapers, and a host of other structures, even the railings on both sides of the road, all require massive amounts of steel to support them. And these provide a huge market for China's domestic iron and steel enterprises...
According to the Ministry of Industry at least, it would take only one year for China to produce more than 9 million tonnes of crude steel, surpassing Germany and the United Kingdom. And in the following year, it entered the level of 10 million tons, becoming the third country to enter the level of 10 million tons after the United States and Germany. And it will be the only country other than the United States to have tens of millions of tons of production capacity and demand after the end of World War I...
In just seven years, it has gone from a country that relied on the Xiangshan Iron Works to have a million-ton output. It became the fourth place after the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany. It is already a miracle in the eyes of many. However, in Yan Shao's view, it is far from enough.
After all, China in later generations usually uses hundreds of millions of dollars to calculate in this regard, and in Yan Shao's view, it is a shame for a country as big as China to lose to countries like Britain and Germany in terms of steel.
However, this is also the time when there is no way, after all, the manufacturing cycle of steel mills is not as good as that of other industries. It takes a long time, and many of the projects in the [Seventh Five-Year Project] formulated at the beginning are roughly determined, and on-site exploration is still needed in the process of progress. Seven years is the limit...
At least for many, it's already a miracle. But that being said. But China's steel market has never been saturated. In fact, in addition to China's own steel, there are many steel imports from the United States and Germany, as mentioned earlier, China is building infrastructure on a large scale, from roads, viaducts to skyscrapers, all kinds of facilities need a lot of steel in them, even the railings on both sides of the road.
This means that there is still a lot of room for improvement in China's steel production.
In fact, the second five-year plan of the current government has begun, and the purpose of this plan is very simple, that is, to raise China's already strong industrial strength to a higher level again, completely surpassing Britain and Germany, and reaching the second level of the United States.
It's just that because of the First World War, this plan, which was originally planned and even started to be implemented, has been revised, and the reason is very simple: China has gained too many benefits in this war.
Let's say two-thirds of the territory of Russia, let's say Sakhalin, let's say the new territories of the Middle East. In particular, the Russian part of the territory was not discussed with the Ministry of Industry at the beginning, and it was impossible for the Ministry of Industry to plan in advance if it developed two-thirds of the Russian territory.
As a result, in the context of the Second Five-Year Plan, the Ministry of Industry had to temporarily fill in some development projects in the new territory.
Naturally, it would cost a lot of money to do so, but on the other hand, as long as the new territory was developed. Within a few years, no more than 10 years at the latest, China's crude steel output may reach 20 million tons, becoming the second largest country after the United States...
And considering the huge territory and population, as well as the stable domestic shape, China's development potential is obviously much stronger than that of the United States...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After annexing two-thirds of Russia's territory, China has become a monster to the world, and a monster that is faster and larger than Russia.
Similarly, because it occupies the entire Ural Mountains, this also makes China a country that straddles Europe and Asiaββββββ a little step or two from the Urals is Europe, and neither Yan Shaoyi nor Cai Yi will obviously mind taking such a step or two.
It is important to understand that Japan's annual crude steel output is only one million tons, and China's more than 8 million tons can already make it a powerful country in the world today. Especially considering that almost all of the original powers were hit hard in this war...
Perhaps in terms of per capita, the figure of more than 8 million is not very proud, but from a practical point of view, combined with China's huge population and vast territory. China has become a great power on a par with Britain and the United States...
This also makes China seem somewhat uncontainable, but the current China seems uncontainable. But it still has a very conspicuous shortcoming, and this shortcoming is the navy. Compared to China's powerful army, its navy is significantly smaller. Of course, only relatively speaking, at least for the vast majority of countries in this era, China's navy is still very strong, but if it is compared to countries like Britain or the United States......... The gap is still obvious. And as long as this shortcoming of China's navy has not been filled, then it will not be able to pose a real threat to the great powers.
However, if Japan joins forces with China, it is possible that this shortcoming of China will be compensated. And so it goes. The colonies of the great powers in Southeast Asia could be threatened by both China and Japan...
This, by the way, is also not allowed by the Great Powers.
Merely...
Although the Great Powers have already made demands in this regard. The Japanese government is also full of promises in front of the diplomats of the great powers, but the actual actions of the Japanese government are somewhat intriguing.
Because while agreeing, the Japanese government has never done anything to the Xingya Society, not even a little tougher. At most, it is just to send some people to monitor the Xingya Society.
Meanwhile. Yan Shao's monstrous news of receiving Miyazaki spread all over Japan, especially after the photo Tong GuΓ² ship was transported to the Japanese mainland, this news made the whole of Japan even more chaotic...
Nowadays, almost all of Japan is discussing this news, and naturally, after the defeat of Korea, many Japanese people regard Miyazaki's monstrous party as traitors, after all, Japan and China have just broken out into war. And because of China's relations, Japan suffered a defeat. Even because of this, more than 700 million yuan of defeat compensation will be compensated, and at this time Miyazaki is monstrous that they are with the Chinese, how can they be accepted by the Japanese.
But on the other hand, looking at this report that Miyazaki's monstrous entourage was courteous to Yan Shao, the other part of the Japanese were shaken...
As mentioned earlier, Yan Shao's showmanship has been successful anyway, and there are people discussing it everywhere in Japan today, and it is also because of this news that some Japanese people's perception of China has changed.
In particular, the Koyakai became even more well-known in Japan because of this news. If the original Koya Association was just an obscure small organization, then now the Koya Club is known to everyone in Japan...
In the following period, the number of people who went to Xingya Club to sign up became much more.
By the following year, the Association had grown from a small organization of just over 1,000 people to a large organization with tens of thousands of members, and the number of members of this organization was growing...
Obviously, for many Japanese, Miyazaki's monstrous claims are still very much to their liking, especially after seeing the power of China...
In the same way, the liberation of Asia also gave them a sense of mission.
It's just that they were originally going to do it alone, and the methods would seem more 'rough', but now, it seems that they have met a partner they can work with. Although this partner is not very easy to get along with, and is thinking about how to fix the other party first...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Just when the whole of Japan was full of turmoil, in the mansion of the temple Shikoto, sitting in the room, looking at the scenery outside the room after the door was opened, Saionji Kobo pondered slightly.
"Your Excellency..."
Just as the Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple was still contemplating the snowy scene, an old man walked in from outside.
The old man who walked in from the outside, his beard and hair had turned white, and he was wearing a decent suit, perhaps because of his age, and his face was very thin. Although the old man's figure looked a little thin, when he walked, there was a sense of self-confidence, and his whole body was full of a sense of spirit that ordinary old people absolutely did not have.
"Oh, it's you, how's that? Any news on this? Looking at the vision that walked in from the outside, the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang took his attention back from the scenery outside, and then looked at the vision and asked with a slight smile.
"Indeed..."Hearing the question of the prince of Xiyuan Temple, Yuan Jing nodded. Facing the public view of Saionji Temple. Although Yuan Jing seems to be very respectful, on the other hand, it is also a little casual.
In the original history, it was supposed to be Keihara who served as Japan's prime minister. At the same time, he was also Japan's first civilian prime minister in the true sense of the word. But because of Yan Shao's birth, many of the original history has changed, and the result is that in the end, Saionji Gongwang instead of Yuan Jing became the prime ministerββββββ of course, this may also allow Yuan Jing to escape his original fate, that is, in addition to being the first civilian prime minister, he is also the first prime minister to be assassinated during his tenure...
In the original history, he was on November 4 of the following year at 7 p.m. He was assassinated by Genichi Nakaoka in front of Tokyo Station. He was the first sitting prime minister to be assassinated since the establishment of the cabinet system in 1885. Hara was assassinated because of social dissatisfaction with the spate of corruption in politics and the measures taken by Hara. However, the incident was not an unexpected incident, and there was a background of right-wing forces related to the so-called 'a major event in the palace' and the question of the crown prince's visit.
The so-called "Zoge DΓ Incident" refers to the fact that Ryoko, the princess of Kurenomiya, who was designated as the concubine of the crown prince (later Emperor Showa), was found to have a genetic history of color blindness in her mother's family, and the senator Aritomo Yamagu, who was influenced by the so-called eugenics of Saionji Gongwang, demanded that the marriage be dissolved. The Kurenomiya family objected. The right-wing forces are dissatisfied with this, and the antagonism between the two sides has deepened. As a result, the matter ended without changing the internal decision. The authorities' accusation of coverage of the incident did not cause a noticeable uproar in the press, but the incident brought the issue of royalty to the forefront of political struggles. Yama County is known as the "national thief". The political forces were hit. and died a year later because of this. Obviously, for Youpeng in Shan County, who is already very old, this incident is indeed a bit too big.
However, the situation was somewhat different during this period.
First of all, Hara Kei is no longer the prime minister, and secondly, because of the defeat in the Korean War, the stricken Yama Prefecture Aritomo has already died of illness, and the time of his death has been at least two years earlier. In this way, it is difficult to say whether the incident of Haraki will happen.
But one thing is certain. That is, compared with the original right-wingers, Yuan Jing's IQ is undoubtedly much higher, and he can be regarded as a pro-China faction in a certain wayββββββ at least compared to those right-wingers...
Seeing that Yuan Jing was back, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang made a gesture of listening on the side, while at the same time, Yuan Jing said softly on the side.
"Not long ago, I just met with the Chinese minister in our country, and after the meeting, the Chinese minister expressed his desire to improve relations with my country, as well as the desire to face the white forces together, and also said that the relationship between the two countries should not be damaged by the great powers, and our country should not be used by the great powers, and there are contradictions and even wars between the only two powers in the Far East at present, and each other is depleting each other's strength..."
"Is that what the Chinese minister said?" a slight mutter, the Duke of Xiyuan Temple looked up at Yuan Jing.
"That's right." Yuan Jing nodded. "In addition, the Chinese minister also expressed his desire to raise the diplomatic level of the two countries, hoping that the current ministers of the two countries can be raised to the ambassadorial level..."
Saying that, Yuan Jing continued. "According to the Chinese, at present, they have basically talked with Britain and the United States and other countries, and it may be formally established at any time, and now only China remains, Your Excellency, I think we can too..."
"Are we like this with China too?" Hearing Yuan Jing say this, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang couldn't help but shake his head. There is still some time missing..."
With that, Saionji stood up from the tatami mat and looked at the scenery outside...
As one of the most influential of Japan's remaining patriarchs, Saionji Konozo's residence is not the best in Japan, but it is certainly not far behind. Especially in this snowy season, the mansion of Saionji Gongwang is dyed a beautiful white with snow.
After combining with the pond in the upper courtyard and other scenery, it is even more charming...
"At present, our war with the Chinese has just ended, and now because of the defeat, the country is full of hostility towards China, at this time we raise the diplomatic level with China, what do you think the country will think, and what will those people think?" Nine times out of ten, those people will take advantage of this opportunity to attack us! The reason is also very simple, traitor, the hat on our heads will probably also be a 'national thief'! β
"But..."Frowning slightly, Yuan Jing walked to the side of Xiyuan Temple Gongwang and said softly. For now, we continue to be hostile to China. It's not good for my country..."
"Do you agree with the man named Miyazaki?" Hearing Yuan Jing say this, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang turned his head sideways to look at Yuan Jing.
"Partially agreed..."Although Saionji Konobo is the prime minister of Japan today, he is also the most influential patriarch at present. But Yuan Kei's attitude has not changed in the slightest. "At least I don't think there is any benefit to our country from confrontation with China, and on the other hand, if the two countries can cooperate, the benefits will definitely be much greater than confrontation..."
Hara did not advocate conflict with China in the first place, as was the case during the Korean War, and even more so now that it has been defeated. After all, the situation is already obvious. That is, it is already impossible for Japan to defeat China on the battlefield. In this case, it is better to put materials in other positions than to spend them on confrontation with China.
Nature. Yuan Jing is also not a stupid person, in the presence of a foreign enemy, there is no difference between giving up the build-up of military power and committing suicide, but in the case of goodwill that has already been expressed in China. It would be unwise to continue armed hostilities...
And he is willing to believe that the goodwill on the Chinese side is genuine. Because, as the Chinese say, if the two sides continue to be hostile, it will not be beneficial for either side. Moreover, Japan is clearly in a state of being exploited by foreign powers...
"Yes..."Hearing Yuan Jing say this, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang also nodded with a sigh, but then he spoke. I agree with you, but it should not be now, but after a while, when domestic opposition to China is still very high. At this time, it is absolutely not beneficial to propose a joint proposal with China, and it is necessary to wait for a while. Wait until the domestic situation eases a little, unless it's outside..."
Speaking of this, the prince of Xiyuan Temple looked at the newspaper on the ground on the side, which was printed with a photo of Yan Shao and Miyazaki's monstrous meeting.
ββ¦β¦β¦ In addition to that, there has to be an alternative point of view that can be shared in the country..."
"Will Xingya be?" Looking through the eyes of the prince of Xiyuan Temple, Yuan Jing pursed his lips and spoke.
"Not bad..."Xiyuan Temple Gongwang nodded. It's the Xingya Society. β
Speaking of this, Xiyuan Temple's eyes also became a little deeper...
"The Xingya Association is very useful to us, because its ideas can cater to the views of a certain number of people, and as long as there are people in the country who are willing to believe these views, this is enough..."
Like Hara Kei, Saionji Gongwang is not willing to continue to confront Chinaββββββ because this will not benefit Japan in any way, and he will not do anything that is not beneficial.
It is precisely for this reason that the public hope of Xiyuan Temple has been secretly promoting the connection between Yuan Jing and the Chinese side.
As for the Xingyahui, although the great powers demanded that the Japanese government ban the Xingyahui, the Saionji Gongwang did not take action, but just watched the Xingyahui continue to grow, and even canceled the original surveillance of Miyazaki. Because for Saionji Kobo, Miyazaki can be said to be a very useful person...
Well, in fact, the surveillance has never stopped, but compared to the kind of surveillance in the past, the so-called "surveillance" today is actually more about seeing what Miyazaki is doing.
For example, now, when Yan Shao is taking Miyazaki to various scenic spots in Beijing, people from Japan will follow from afar, watching what Yan Shao and Miyazaki are doing.
Naturally, following from afar, there will definitely be no way to know the detailed truth between Yan Shao and Miyazaki. However, the Japanese did not expect that the spies in Japan alone would know anything important.
After all, they didn't deal with the secret service on the first day, and for the secret agents in China, following them from afar is already a very dangerous thing in itself, and if they are too close, I am afraid it will not only be described as dangerous.
You must understand that Yan Shao has always attached great importance to his safety.
Similarly, in order to ensure Yan Shao's safety, Caterina also arranged for a large number of members of the Special Affairs Bureau to be by Yan Shao's side. If they really dared to get too close, I am afraid that before they approached Yan Shao's distance of fifty meters, they would have been detained by the surrounding members of the Special Affairs Bureau, the bodyguards of the presidential palace, and the people of the Guards Regimentββββββ although the situation in the country has stabilized now, this group can be called the strongest force in the country. But it has never been cut...
The National Assembly has quite an opinion on this, after all, the situation in the country is already very stable, and in this case, Yan Shao maintains the existence of a guard regiment. Who are they guarding against? However, the so-called Congress is only a vase in the country, so their opinions have no effect.
As for Yan Shao himself...
In fact, he also felt that there was no need to save the Guards Regiment or something, because the current domestic political situation was stable, and the possibility of a coup d'Γ©tat was basically no longer existing.
The continuation of the Guards Regiment is much more symbolic than practical, but on the other hand...
Yan Shao remembered that in later novels and comics. The villain's boss usually has such an organization, and the people in the organization are all killers, Yan Shao has always felt that this setting is quite emotional.
And he himself is the existence of zΓ i. For everyone except China, it can be regarded as a villain boss, and in this case, it seems necessary to keep a guard regiment ...
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
Anyway. The goodwill expressed by Yan Shao. The Japanese side has already learned about it.
Although the situation between the two countries is still very tense on the surface, even when the navies of the two countries are patrolling the seas, they will encounter saber rattling. If it were not for the fact that the war was now over, and the Japanese government did not allow any troops or military installations to be deployed on the banks of the Yalu River in accordance with the Treaty of Seoul, it is not clear whether they would have clashed with each other and provoked a second Korean War.
At least in the eyes of many. This is not impossible, after all, Japanese people tend to have hot heads. It's clear to many people...
Although the situation remains tense on the surface, in private, the relationship between the two governments has eased considerably. Especially after the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang came to power and promoted many people like Hara Kei, the situation has been greatly reversed...
Similarly, in a certain tacit understanding, the Japanese government has also given many green lights to the actions of the Koya Association in Japan. Naturally, all of this is done in secret, after all, the right-wing forces in Japan are still very strong at the moment, and if they rashly ease relations with China, even a veteran with great influence like Saionji Konobo will not be able to bear such consequences...
So, as mentioned above, a qiΔ can only be unfolded in secret...
On the other hand...
With the end of the war and the gradual easing of the situation, it seems that many things that have been delayed can be brought to the surface and resolved.
For example, what once gave Yan Shao a little headache was about the presidential term. It's been a long time since this matter was raised, and it's time to settle it...
Therefore, almost when Yan Shao was accompanying Miyazaki and his entourage to visit the Forbidden City Museum, the Great Wall and even the Empire State Building, this plan also began to be carried out...
On the other hand, as the largest Palace Museum in Asia and one of the largest in the world, it does make Miyazaki feel like it's worth the trip.
In the Forbidden City Museum, the collection is not only China's local cultural relics, but also contains a series of local cultural relics obtained by the expeditionary force during the war in the Middle East, such as the Mesopotamian civilization, or the Turkish ββββββ expeditionary force at the end of the war had fought in Turkey, captured a lot of things, and even helped Yan Shao bring back two roles of Egyptian belly dancers, it seems that they are only 13 years old, of course, now they are 14, but it's a pity that those fools' hands and feet are too stupid, It turned out to be discovered by Katarina...
Now these two people are working in the presidential palace as personal maids, but as for Yan Shao, they can only watch and can't eat...
And in addition to these, there are many Russian cultural relics. During the elimination of Kolchak and the Russian nobles who accompanied him, Cai's troops obtained a lot of Russian art and artifacts, which were eventually sent to the Forbidden City Museum and Yan Shao.
On the other hand, in order to increase the museum's collection, with the support of Yan Shao, the Palace Museum even specifically found some people who lost a qiΔ in the First World War...
Prosperous antiques, troubled gold...
At least for Yan Shao, it's a grand event! (To be continued......)
