Chapter 187: Dissuasion

"The Oahu base is a top priority, and we must keep a firm grip on this natural base in the Pacific!

Probably that's the case, Li Mingzhi, the situation that the General Staff should explain has been done. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Li Mingzhi, deputy chief of staff of the Imperial General Staff, replied: "Your Majesty, the 21 basic national policies and the bottom line of the execution of the Japanese shogunate have been repeatedly explained, and Major Wang Gang and Commander Flax Duo have already understood their duties before they set off!" ”

Zhao Dutian snorted, and his eyes swept around the high-level officials of the empire who were attending the meeting, the three bigwigs of the Jinyi Guard, the head of the secret service Black Eagle, more than a dozen important members of the imperial cabinet, plus the three deputy chiefs of general staff of the imperial general staff, these people are the high-ranking officials of the Han Empire who now maintain the operation of the entire empire!

What order Zhao Dutian wants to issue, he only needs to gather these people to hold a collective meeting, all the people here are from the Han family, loyalty can be guaranteed, and any decree of Zhao Dutian can be fully implemented!

As the main independent regiment of Flax Duo set off with the ship, many imperial officials were puzzled, feeling that there was not much interest in this kind of national force to invade Japan thousands of miles away!

Therefore, Zhao Dutian once again held a special collective meeting for this purpose, and told the whole process about his goal plan and the necessity of subduing Japan!

He started from the biggest defect of the insufficient population of the Han Empire, and then introduced the rich population and the essence of the same origin of the Qing Empire, an ancient eastern country!

Defeating Japan is not the final destination, in fact, Zhao Dutian never thought about really occupying the entire territory of Japan, the total population of the Han Empire is only more than one million, how to assimilate tens of millions of Japanese?

What's more, there is also a Pacific Ocean in the middle!

If you completely enslave tens of millions of Japanese, it will be even more thankless, how many troops will the Han Empire have?

They were all sent to Japan to invade and suppress Xiaoxiao, how can they still fight for hegemony? How to face the aggressive power of the European powers on the American continent?!

As for slaughtering the Japanese......

This is even more nonsense, even if you kill 10 million pigs, it will take a lot of time, not to mention the martial arts style of Japan!

At this time, although the Japanese had a backward system and ignorant science and technology, they at least entered the era of cold weapons, and there were even many old-fashioned artillery and arquebus armed forces!

The reason why Zhao Dutian dared to use a small number of expeditionary forces to deal with the Japanese was because he knew that he only needed to defeat a small number of upper-class Japanese nobles and leaders, and more than 80 percent of the civilians in Japan knew nothing and could eat well, as long as Zhao Dutian did not go crazy to engage in genocide, he would not be opposed to this class!

It's not that Zhao Dutian doesn't want to kill all the Japanese, it's that the national strength of the Han Empire can't meet that requirement......

It is impossible to completely colonize Japan with a huge military force, and it is impossible to assimilate a population ten times its size, and the best way to do this is to support a local puppet regime!

Zhao Dutian's goal is just to get a springboard to attack the Manchus, the Han Empire does not need to occupy the entire territory of Japan, only needs to occupy a few coastal cities, and can lie on the Japanese to absorb the 'blood' and maintain its own army!

Zhao Dutian was very interested in what US imperialism did to Japan in his previous life, but his behavior was more ruthless than that of the Americans, and he would not give the Japanese a chance to rise like the Americans, and his ultimate goal was ......

This collective meeting not only made the imperial high-level understand the necessity of invading Japan, but also further mobilized the forces of the entire empire and went all out to prepare for the future landing of the Manchu Empire!

Zhao Dutian wants to let the top brass of the empire understand what the empire's goal is and how much benefit it will gain from achieving this goal!

Hundreds of millions of people of the same race who have been oppressed by foreign races, tens of millions of square kilometers of land, are undoubtedly stepping onto the ladder of world hegemony!

Otherwise, the expansion of the Han Empire in the Americas will inevitably be endlessly stumbling with the European powers, and the loss of a large number of people and military strength will almost become inevitable, looking at the casualty ratio of the European battlefield, as long as there is a long war of attrition in North America equivalent to the intensity of the war for the Austrian throne, it is not an exaggeration that the population of the Han Dynasty will be cut in half!

The population base of Europe has never been raised, not because the white race cannot have children, but because the wars are too frequent and tragic......

Zhao Dutian did not want to engage in a long war of attrition with the European powers, and if he wanted to rise, he could only look to the outside world and replace the Manchu Empire, which was undoubtedly a shortcut!

As long as the Chinese ethnic group has a navigator who has the courage to expand and forge ahead, it will definitely burst out with the power to make the world tremble!

After the meeting, Zhao Dutian once again felt the convenience brought by absolute dictatorship, and an empire with one voice is undoubtedly the most efficient war measure!

The third expeditionary fleet has been upgraded and will land a group of skirmishers and Paprov's elite grenadier troops!

Zhao Dutian believes that these three batches of troops are enough to achieve the goal he has booked!

As soon as Zhao Dutian returned to his office, he received a request from the special envoy of Georges Macartney.

"Your Majesty, I know I shouldn't interfere with your decision-making, but this time your actions are too dangerous!"

"Oh? If you fight a little Japan, it will be dangerous? Your Excellency the Special Envoy thinks too much of those little dwarfs. ”

"It's not that the Japanese are in danger, but the location of Japan, starting from the Han Empire itself, even if the road is smooth, it will take several months to complete a round trip, and Japan is not a backward tribal native, if you want to completely conquer it, it will not be possible to achieve it in the short term, if Your Majesty transfers the main forces to Japan to expand the territory, once the French and Spaniards ease up, the empire itself will face a huge crisis!"

"Hehe~ Your Excellency the Special Envoy of Labor is worried, I don't have the idea of completely conquering the Japanese, Your Excellency the Special Envoy also sees the defects of the Empire, I need a large number of workers and labor, and Japan's tens of millions of people and backward military system can just be used to make up for the gap in the Empire, to put it bluntly, I just want to catch some prisoners back, fill the gap in labor, and liberate more imperial civilians from heavy manual work, so that I can form more troops, Wouldn't it be possible to gain superiority over France and Spain in a future war? ”

George Macartney looked at Zhao Dutian, who was talking eloquently, and after thinking about it, he couldn't seem to find a better reason......

"Hey~ Your Majesty, I'm just reminding you as a friend that the heart of the French people will not die when the Han Empire dies!" (To be continued.) )
