Chapter 852: Eruption

You always have to pay it back when you come out to mix. The situation that Saionji Gongwang feared finally happened! And it came so suddenly, so violently! First, it was reported that Japanese bank accounts and overseas assets were frozen, and then Japanese ships that were sailing to various parts of the world were detained. And then there is the fact that China, the United States, and the United Kingdom have submitted the ultimatum to Japan today, with the reasons for it. What Shichiro Kataoka and others thought was a foolproof plan was revealed in less than a month. It really made the Japanese realize the strength of a big country! And Xiyuan Temple Gongwang Zhilu said, if these countries don't intrigue, the whole process will be faster! And now that the coordination of the major powers is completed, then it is ripe! There is no room for redemption.

Faced with photographs and incriminating evidence that appeared on various occasions, the Japanese finally found that their cleverness was useless! At this time, it is no longer useful to talk about the private behavior of some personnel within the navy. And at this time, in order to save the whole country, the navy can only be thrown out! Shichiro Kataoka and others were immediately arrested by the Japanese police and immediately sent to prison. The three major powers have not reacted to the Japanese government's approach. The combined fleet of the three countries immediately rushed to Japan, and then disarmed the Japanese Navy one by one!

Faced with a huge fleet consisting of seven battleships, more than a dozen cruisers of various types, and dozens of destroyers, the Japanese Government did not even have the idea of resisting. On the one hand, the fleet was immediately ordered to stop resisting directional weapons, and on the other hand, negotiations with the three countries were considered. But soon, they found out. Although the three countries did not use naval guns to blow up the coast to white ground, the three countries seized all the Japanese ships in the port and drove away! This kind of behavior is very incomprehensible to the Japanese.

Subsequently, the ultimatum of the Three Kingdoms finally made the Japanese understand what these powerful countries were thinking when they went to the ground! First, it no longer matters whether the reason for Japan's actions or whether it was a private or state act. The important thing is that Japan needs to pay a large amount of compensation to the three countries. These compensation will be converted into precious metals, both gold and silver! Secondly, the three countries believed that as a despicable country, Japan could not have a navy, and all warships had to be confiscated! From light cruisers to submarines, there is no one left, and at most patrol boats with a displacement of no more than 300 tons are intelligently left, and the size of the army cannot exceed 50,000 at most. Third. In order to limit Japan's ability to launch a similar attack again, the three countries need to manage Japan's industry and production at the source! All supplies destined for Japan must be shipped on the merchant ships of the three countries, and all Japanese ocean-going merchant ships will be confiscated. Only ships that can pass near the sea can be kept, of course, if you venture out of the water, you can do it, if you are caught, it will be confiscated. And even if you want to buy something. Now they are the three great powers that control the world's oceans, and you can't go if you want to buy them!

At the same time, the three countries believe that the Japanese government "lacks" the ability to control the situation, so before everything is done, the three countries will set up "clearing offices" in several important cities to ensure the smooth payment of compensation, as well as other pre-requisites. In order to prevent Japan from importing all kinds of things that could be used for military purposes, the three countries have a quota for all kinds of materials that Japan needs each year. In other words, you can't buy it even if you have money! And the quotas allocated to each region are not up to Japan. It is up to the Three Kingdoms to decide, and of course it depends on the performance of the real power factions in various places! This completes the economic separation of Japan!

The Three Kingdoms have thought about it, the fat sheep of Japan must be slaughtered, and it must be slaughtered for a long time, and more importantly, everyone must be slaughtered separately. Historically, the Americans played oil for food and played the no-fly zone, and Xu Jie did it more thoroughly on this plane, and the United States still had some places to pass through the no-fly zone, Xu Jie simply sealed it all, when the United States, Saddam Hussein could at least rule the whole country, and this time, the three countries were ready to enclose territory in Japan, we don't send troops to occupy it, but just support agents and control the economy! The raw materials needed for Japan had to be transported by sea, and they were not even self-sufficient in food. If the sea route is broken, then wait for the economy to collapse, which is much more efficient than using guns directly.

At this time, the Japanese government was really panicked, on the one hand, it expressed its willingness to compensate the three countries for their losses during this period, and on the other hand, it said that all this was just the personal behavior of "a small handful" of people, and the Japanese government could say that all those involved in the matter in the navy were handed over to the three countries to deal with. However, it is hoped that the three countries will not take sanctions against Japan because of this small group of people. Of course, this proposal does not pose any threat to the three kingdoms, which have already sharpened their knives quickly. And after discovering that this matter could not be reconciled, the Japanese army also planned to encircle its own homeland, and the result? How to say, they partially achieved their purpose!

The Three Kingdoms did not land, but they erased Japan's important seaports from the map, Xu Jie and the Beiyang Fleet could wash the Japanese islands all over the time, and now, with the dreadnought and super dreadnought, it is not a problem to destroy these ports, and the ultra-long artillery range is enough to make a small number of Japanese mine arrays useless. As for the shore defense artillery? Well, just ignore it. The three countries also specially gave this operation a very vivid name: "Torch" plan! The meaning is already clear, turning the entire coast of Japan into a sea of fire!

After about a week of the implementation of the "arson" plan of the fleets of the three countries, the Japanese government finally could not bear it, the ocean transportation was almost completely cut off, and there was no preparation for the sudden situation, and the various materials stored in the country were already small, especially grain, and the Japanese grain supply was controlled by China, and now that there was a big war in Europe, the grain was also in short supply, and the control was relatively tight. Today's Japan is far from the Japan of World War II, and after the defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, the national spirit that had been somewhat accumulated was wiped out by the heavy blow of defeat. And then after the mainland was attacked by Russia, the losses caused to Japan were even greater than those of China! In the years that followed, Japan suffered a devastating blow to the economy and, more importantly, a large number of people were lost. In other words, "all the Japanese who can fight are gone!" ”

Although Japan took advantage of the opportunity of the First Sino-Russian War to regain some of the lost territory, the losses and huge losses caused by the war made Japan not only unable to embark on the road of revitalization, but even more embarrassed. If it weren't for the large amount of economic and financial support that Britain has been giving, Japan would have been even more devastated today. Today, Japan really does not have the strength or courage to continue to be the enemy of the three countries.

In the end, Japan gave in and was forced to fully accept the demands of the three countries, and all that remained was the mutual distribution of benefits between the three countries. And just before the dust settled, attention had turned back to Europe, and the impact of this event was far-reaching, especially for the United States, a powerful country that wanted to expand its power by various means, and the brief confrontation on Saipan not only ended the American attempt to enter the Far East, but also brought about a new adjustment.
