Chapter 73 Law of Succession to the Imperial Throne
Now the situation in Europe is tense, and all countries are too busy to take care of themselves, where can they take care of the Japanese state.
Because the capitalist countries of Europe are approaching their ultimate stage, the widespread irreconcilable contradictions that arise in the transition to imperialism.
The colonies and semi-colonies of Asia, Africa, and Latin America have basically been carved up by the great powers, the contradictions between the old and new colonialism have intensified, the economic development of the imperialists has been unbalanced, and the division of order is not equal, and everyone wants to obtain more benefits.
The situation in Europe is getting more and more intense, and there is a rhythm of great war that is about to break out. Everyone is nervously and actively expanding their armaments, preparing for war, where is there time to pay attention to the dog of the Wa Kingdom, but at least the surface work must be done sufficiently, at least let the Chinese Empire be restrained a little, so as not to treat them as transparent, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog.
However, when Wang Bo brought up the young man who had been brainwashed, the representatives of various countries had nothing to say, and they all looked at the bewildered representatives of the Japanese country.
The representative of the Japanese country is crying with a sad face, our Japanese country is really wronged, I don't know where this person came from!
Wang Bo said sternly, what is the difference between the Japanese government and the declaration of war if the Japanese political axe dares to attack me, the emperor of the Chinese Empire!
The policy of our Chinese Empire is consistent, clear, and unswerving, and we don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it! If you dare to provoke and offend, you will be punished even if you are far away! A satisfactory explanation must be given, otherwise all the consequences will be borne by the Japanese state itself!
After Wang Bo finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left angrily!
The representatives of various countries looked at each other, and finally looked at the representatives of the Japanese countries again, are you just a dead dog who can't support the wall in the mud!
Who is this? It's a stinking scoundrel in today's world! More hooligans than us scoundrels from civilization! Did you take the wrong medicine? It's so easy to provoke, how dare you provoke this stinky rascal who doesn't want to die!
If you are strong and you provoke him, we will not only be happy to see it, but also help him in the back! But you don't have any strength now, just a leper dog who is struggling to breathe, isn't this self-defeating?
Delegates left one after another to report the matter home. Countries now have a lot of troubles in their own homes that have not been sorted out, but it is a dog raised by themselves, a dog used to bite people everywhere, if they don't make a move, this dog is afraid that it will be slaughtered immediately by a stinky hooligan who does not want to die, eat it clean!
In particular, the United States is nervous and anxious, the naval fleet of the Chinese Empire is now going farther and farther, and it is already approaching the Hawaiian Islands, which they have not long captured, and if this continues, the Pacific Ocean will be occupied by China.
Therefore, they need the Japanese state to contain China the most, others do not help, but they must help! The Pacific Ocean belongs to the backyard of the United States, and no one can rob it!
But at this moment, the country heard the news that a young man from his own country had gone to the Huaxia Empire alone to assassinate the hated Huaxia Emperor, and the whole country was boiling! They all called that young man a well-deserved hero of the Japanese country!
The people of the Japanese Kingdom have taken to the streets, hoping that the Japanese political axe will rescue the heroes, and the heroes will not be sacrificed in vain!
The Japanese political axe was dumbfounded, isn't this adding to the chaos? We are still thinking about how to make the rogue emperor of the Huaxia Empire happy, and you still tear down the corner! In desperation, he was about to send someone to appease the people and persuade everyone to stop.
But these Japanese nationals went to besiege the consulate of the Chinese Empire! Not only that, but even worse, they went to smash and rob the shops of the merchants of the Chinese Empire! Moreover, there are also groups driving small wooden boats saying that they are going to recover Kyushu Island!
I'm slot! Pitted country!
After Wang Bo saw the information submitted, he slapped his thigh and laughed loudly.
He has already made all kinds of preparations, and this time he took advantage of the turbulent situation in Europe and took care of himself, so he had to destroy Xiao Yueben! If you don't have a chance to create a chance, you have to go on! What's more, there really is a chance!
The order was officially issued immediately, and the army and navy were immediately dispatched! The excuse is to protect the personal and property safety of the territory and subjects of the country!
The cabinet quickly passed this war order, and then the minister suddenly put forward the hope that His Majesty the Emperor would make a plan for the Chinese Empire and establish the crown prince as soon as possible.
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked, and the next moment fell into silence.
Wang Bo now only has two wives, Empress Li Jingxuan and Imperial Concubine Li Jingjie, and has five sons and seven daughters, a total of 12 children, the oldest is 28 years old, and the youngest is 11 years old.
Since Wang Bo is very successful in educating children, everyone has their own careers to do. Some are engaged in scientific research, some are engaged in literature, some join the army, some are engaged in business, and some are still in school, plus Wang Bo is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, so the position of crown prince has been vacant.
Presumably, it was this assassination incident that made the ministers realize that the issue of the succession of the monarch of the Chinese Empire must be raised.
Previously, Wang Bo had already had a deep talk with his children, and also told them that he was ready to weaken the power of the emperor, and that the future emperor would only be a nominal ruler of the country, a national symbol, a spiritual leader, and in addition to controlling the imperial guard, other powers would be completely delegated to the cabinet and parliament.
The education that the children have arrived at since childhood, in addition to learning the traditional knowledge of China, but also to learn the modern new ideological education, although the vision has been broadened, however, the practice of Wang Bo is still a little incomprehensible, there are so many powerful ministers in the history of China, the main weak and the ministers are strong, it is inevitable that some people will move the mind that should not be moved, can this system really be implemented in China?
Wang Bo patiently explained that time is the best solution, and that this system will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people through generations of monarchs, and with the development of the Astringent Society, the education level of the people will be improved, and it will definitely be realized in the future.
Besides, the system of the emperor's centralization of power is good or bad, if a generation of masters is then the country is very fortunate, if the country suffers, or even dies, all dynasties have confirmed this kind of lesson, taking history as a mirror, the emperor concentrates all the power in his hands is a very bad system after all.
He let his children fully explain his opinions, understand their thoughts, and although he had the ability to perceive them at once, he didn't want to do that, it was his children, and he didn't want to snoop into all of his children's thoughts because of some kind of need.
Although the princes and princesses did not understand, and even resisted, this was their father's decision, in addition to retaining their own opinions, no matter what their father did, they could only express their full support.
Wang Bo could see that some of them disagreed, some were skeptical, and some were supportive, but for the sake of China, he decided to make an arbitrary decision.
Besides, he's confident in himself!
What he has is time to influence the thinking of the Chinese people, and if it doesn't work in ten years, then in 20 years, 50 years, 100 years, and one day everyone will accept it.
For the establishment of the crown prince, Wang Bo already had a plan in his heart, the succession to the throne will take the inheritance of the eldest child, men and women are equal, no matter whether the son or daughter must inherit the throne in strict accordance with the eldest and youngest, just like the succession of the royal power in England in the real world, so as to put an end to the battle for the throne.
There are also some restrictions, the monarch has no right to influence the order of succession to the throne, the successor must not be a member of any sect, must not be a member of any religion, etc., so as to ensure the purity of the throne.
After repeated discussions in the Cabinet and the Diet, the Act on the Succession to the Imperial Throne was finally established as part of the law and officially promulgated to the world.
During this period, although it caused a sensation among the Chinese people and even the whole world, it was not enough to be more sensational than the official declaration of war on the Chinese Empire!
Because, as the Chinese Empire sent land and sea armies to Kyushu Island, the situation in the country became more and more severe, and the people's mood was also extremely sad and angry!
The Chinese Imperial Consulate in Tokyo, the capital of the Japanese Kingdom, and consulates in other cities were besieged and smashed by the Japanese nationals.
On the night of May 14, 1914, the Chinese Empire's consulate in Tokyo, the capital of the Chinese Empire, was set on fire by the Japanese people, killing three consulate officials and injuring nine.
Seeing that the people had suffered such a catastrophe, the Emperor and his cabinet ministers had decided to strike first because of the consistent urine nature of the rogue emperor of the Chinese Empire.
On May 15, the Wa Kingdom declared war on the Chinese Empire, and then dispatched the army and navy to attack the Chinese Imperial Defense Force, which had just arrived on Kyushu Island.
Wang Bo was furious and scolded the ministers of the army and navy, but only won a few battles, and began to be arrogant and lose his vigilance.
He immediately ordered that troops should be sent to pacify the Japanese kingdom immediately, otherwise all the ministers of the army and navy would be dismissed from their posts and sent to a military court for dereliction of duty to be tried and punished.
Although the European countries were shocked that the Japanese State dared to declare war on the Chinese Empire, at this time, apart from expressing concern about the development of events, they could not withdraw themselves to intervene in the war between the two countries, because the current situation in Europe was like a bowstring that became tighter and tighter, and with only a small force, the bowstring would be broken, and a great war would occur immediately.
Once the Japanese were completely captured by the Chinese Empire, the Pacific Ocean would be invaded by the Chinese Empire, and Hawaii would be unsafe, and the United States itself would be under threat.
The United States hurriedly sent a representative to mediate, and the Chinese Empire said that mediation was possible, but it had to agree to the conditions, and the Japanese State would abolish the emperor system and establish a democratic state, and it would not have any army, and no police could have it, and all the troops sent by China would take over and protect it.
With such harsh conditions, it is simply the complete destruction of the Wa Kingdom! Later, the Wa Kingdom was a democratic country in the sense of the word, but in fact it became a city in China!
The Wa State said that it would not agree, and it was really going to agree, which was no different from destroying the country!
Since the United States had previously signed a protection agreement with the Japanese state, and now the Japanese state and the Chinese empire have declared war, except for sending the navy to cruise or conduct exercises in the Pacific waters near the Japanese state to make some gestures of support in order to show some kung fu, the domestic parliament has been arguing over whether to declare war on the Chinese empire according to the protection agreement signed with the Japanese state.
Wang Bo knew about the development of some important historical events, and in order to prepare for the upcoming World War I with Europe as the main battlefield, the Chinese Empire had already secretly made comprehensive preparations.
Unexpectedly, because of the assassination incident, he felt that he could take advantage of the chaotic war in Europe to completely clean up the Japanese country, this country that caused everyone's thinking to be extremely narrow because of the small territory, next to the Chinese Empire is a timed nuclear bomb, if you don't take it quickly, the trouble will continue in the future.
Although there was a protection agreement between the United States and the Japanese state, he did not believe that the United States, which now believes in conservatism, would be involved, and the United States has not yet become the superpower of the real world because of the development of the original history, which made a lot of war profits in the two world wars and took advantage of the dividends of the world.
For the time being, although the United States has strong industrial capacity, its military strength is far inferior to that of the Chinese Empire, and although the two countries are separated by the vast Pacific Ocean, as long as the Chinese Navy destroys the American maritime power and occupies Hawaii Island as a forward base, the United States will slowly be encroached upon by the Chinese Empire.
Coupled with the current tensions in Europe, most U.S. legislators only want to profit from it, and are reluctant to go to war with the Chinese Empire at this juncture.
However, 89 times out of 10, things are not as good as they should be, and many things are planned to change quickly.
The newly established navy that had been built with great difficulty by borrowing money did not have much combat effectiveness, and was forced to engage the Chinese navy in a hurry, and achieved some victories in the initial sneak attack, but after the Chinese Imperial Navy reacted, the war after that was completely one-sided.
The Imperial Navy of China was furious because of the sneak attack, and instantly destroyed the main force of the Japanese Navy with the momentum of turning over the mountains and seas, and the Japanese Navy fled in panic on the sea, just in time to find the American Navy cruising in the distance, and hurriedly ran over to seek refuge.
The United States has no choice, the two countries have signed a protection agreement, and if it dares to see death and not save it, then the country's credibility will plummet in the international arena. After some controversy, it was decided to use the pretext that the Japanese navy had already been captured, so that the Chinese Imperial Navy could no longer pursue it.
The fat in the mouth was intercepted by others, and the Chinese Imperial Navy was naturally reluctant in every possible way, and forcibly broke through the American defense line on the grounds that the Pacific Ocean was a public water, and continued to pursue the fugitive Japanese Navy.
The United States was ignored, and felt that it had lost its face and was angry, but in order to avoid taking the responsibility of firing the first shot, it ordered the warship to ram the warship of the Chinese Empire.
Under the leadership of Wang Bo, a powerful emperor, all the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army are extremely strong, and they will collide with each other! When the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, who is afraid of whom! Then let's see who is more ruthless and who is even more desperate! (To be continued.) )
