Chapter 179: The Delusion of the Foot Basin Chicken (1/3)
Mutsu Munemitsu, who was invited to watch the test flight of the plane, did not know that this was a pressure move by the First Volunteer Brigade to force Japan to sign an agreement to cede the Liaodong Peninsula after the war. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoJapan doesn't want to be dragged by the Great Song Dynasty on the Liaodong Peninsula, this is a war in which they gambled on the fortunes of the country. Now that everyone in Japan is tightening their belts to support this war, if the unfavorable news of the war is to be transmitted back to Japan, it will be considered light, and it will not be possible for Japan to regress to the situation of division before the Meiji Restoration.
However, the British financiers wanted to use this Liaodong Peninsula as a bargaining chip to lure Tsarist Russia to distance themselves from Germany, which was rapidly rising on the European continent. This kind of practice of selling goods to two companies, and in the end it is unlucky that Japan is sandwiched in the middle to make gas bags. Today, Da Song can take the route of using new technology as a bargaining chip to fight with the British, and maybe tomorrow Da Song, who is in a bad mood, will take the route of beating this angry bag sandwiched in the middle to show off his military force.
The Japanese foreign minister, who has repeatedly embarrassed Nakado on the Korean issue, has also experienced the difficulty of a weak country without diplomacy. People can talk about it if they want to, and beat them up if they want to, how can they have room for mediation? In addition, the British Yankees, the owner of the fund, have been planning to calculate how to choose between Song and Russia in order to maximize their own interests, and they don't take this vicious dog that they can't use for the time being in their eyes at all, and let the Great Song Dynasty abuse them at will, and the life of the foot basin chicken in Liaodong is really difficult.
It has been more than three months since the landing, and the Japanese have not yet obtained a wharf on the Liaodong Peninsula where they can unload their cargo, and at present the supply of the army of more than 20,000 people is all dependent on sampans to be transferred from the transport ship to the shore, and the inefficiency is so low that it is unbearable to look at it directly. Many soldiers who do not have combat missions are in a state of semi-starvation, and as for the cold, they also rely on the fire to maintain their body temperature, and the tight transportation capacity is really unable for every soldier to get equipment to protect against the cold. Although the First Volunteer Brigade could use Dalian Bay to transfer supplies, the Japanese did not dare to transfer supplies through there because they could not send troops to Dalian Bay to receive supplies, after all, the transportation of materials from Dalian Bay to the front line of the Japanese army had to pass through the Qing army's defense area.
The main culprit of this situation, the First Volunteer Brigade of the Great Song Marine Corps, also blackmailed Japan from time to time, which poured salt into the wounds of the Japanese Army. In short, just as the arrogant Miss Fox said in the negotiations a few days ago, the soldiers of the Japanese Army will avoid themselves when they encounter the regular troops of the First Volunteer Brigade in the field, and they have been beaten out of the psychological shadow.
However, even so, the Japanese were still more inclined to sign a secret agreement with the Great Song Dynasty to cede the Liaodong Peninsula to the Great Song Dynasty after the war, rather than letting Liaodong become a bargaining chip for the British and cede it to the Russians for their own interests.
Although in the eyes of the footbasin chicken, both the Great Song Dynasty and Tsarist Russia are insatiable. However, after gaining the Liaodong Peninsula, Tsarist Russia will have ice-free ports in the Far East, and then continue to infiltrate the hinterland of Northeast China, and then completely encroach on Northeast China, connecting it with their territory in Siberia, and finally completing their "Yellow Russia" plan. At that time, Tsarist Russia had built a railway through Siberia and an ice-free natural harbor in eastern Liaodong, and Japan had almost no room to carry out their continental plans.
Therefore, the Japanese wanted to temporarily cede the Liaodong Peninsula to the Great Song Dynasty after the war, so that the Great Song Dynasty could resist the southward advance of the polar bears in Liaodong, while they themselves tried their best to develop their national strength after receiving the Manchu indemnity. When Song and Russia were defeated in the Far East, it was the best time for Japan to implement their mainland plans.
In the eyes of the Japanese, the Song Dynasty was far away from the Liaodong Peninsula, and it was obviously much easier to deal with a situation in which the Great Song Dynasty was far away from the Liaodong Peninsula, leaving them to occupy a lonely peninsula than facing a situation in which the polar bears connected the entire northeastern China to their territory.
Of course, there is also a voice in Japan that believes that the Great Song Dynasty is a Chinese lineage, or even the former Chinese orthodoxy. Allowing Japan to seize the Liaodong Peninsula and obtain a natural harbor that can be used for military purposes will undoubtedly return to the mountains, and Japan will never look up in the future.
However, this kind of non-mainstream voice was soon drowned out in Japan, and the fanatical militarists did not take the Chinese people seriously, and those who claimed to be sober-minded felt that Tsarist Russia was the only one who was the henchman of Japan's implementation of the mainland plan. These people of the Great Song Dynasty with short hair and high-tech weapons are obviously no longer Chinese in the eyes of some people, but are regarded as a kind of "banana people" who are yellow on the outside and white on the inside.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if they want to restore their homeland like those stubborn Zionists, they will go to the Central Plains and the Manchus to grab territory, and the northeast region of China is not where their core interests lie. So for a while, the voice in Japan agreeing to sign a secret agreement prevailed, and now there is a lack of money owner British.
The Japanese want to rein in their edge, and then make a charged blow after lying on the salary and tasting their courage. But the traversers, from the upper echelons to the rough embryos, did not know the ambition of their entire nation to expand on the mainland, and Zhao Yi and they had already sentenced the foot basin chicken to death, and it was impossible to give them any respite after the war.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty is now in a situation of internal infighting after the imperial party, and the people plan to let them fight for two or three years, and they will kill the footbasin chicken first when they free their hands. And while the Japanese were calculating how to counterattack Liaodong in the future, the general plan for crossing the crowd to kill Japan was basically formed.
There is nothing special about this scheme, and they can often be seen in the 21st century even on platforms like news broadcasts. How did Lao Mei kill Syria, and the crossing public plans to make a copy of the four islands in Japan. In short, keep outputting "dishes", let your factions make a fuss, and don't think about any opportunities for development.
Specifically, it is to use the trick of playing the remnants of Iraq and Afghanistan to attack first and then leave it alone; Or in Syria, there are differences within the cross-border crossing, which supports the repeated pattern of factions. However, the rest of the footpot chicken is almost like this, even the war dividends they did not get from the Manchu Qing are all in the budget table of the crossing public, and the plan to cut off the beard is in full swing.
The great powers of this era all used a standard pattern of great power behavior to predict the future policy direction of the Great Song Empire, and they came to the conclusion that it was nothing more than how many colonies the Great Song Dynasty wanted, and in their hearts these people were no different from them except for the color of their skin. Nationalism was just an excuse for these Song people to fool the Manchu commoners, and their ultimate goal was to make these Manchu civilians become obedient people in their colonies.
The secret agreement between the Crossing and Japan on the secession of the Liaodong Peninsula dragged on in the wrestling between the parties with different purposes. However, because the traversers have more than a hundred years of knowledge, the situation of more profits is tilting towards them.
