Chapter 862: Man is better than man to death
"Bagayaru, idiot...... Reckless ...... You're all dead, dead, dripping! β
"Hi Yi, I'm sorry for your trouble."
"Let those who do it all commit suicide by caesarean section and put this incident down as soon as possible. Their small military department will take good care of them, and after they die, they will enter the shrine to worship, and don't give the constitutionalists any more grips, and now public opinion is very unfavorable to us, and His Majesty the Emperor is also very annoyed, well, we must come out with a real posture to solve this matter. β
"Hey, I'll do it right away."
After all, the diplomatic embassies of the United Kingdom, Citigroup and Oceania have also expressed their concern and strongly condemn this extremely uncivilized behavior, and we cannot afford to offend the foreigners, they cannot understand the traditions of the Great Fusang Empire, and they must temporarily avoid the edge."
"Understood, Your Excellency, we will settle this matter properly."
Shan Shan Youpeng nodded with satisfaction, there are countless wandering warriors in Fusang Country, but taking out a dozen dead soldiers at once is not something that any force can do.
The military department is the stronghold of the imperial faction, and in today's society, various democratic currents of thought are rampant in Fuso, and the imperial faction, which advocates blind respect for the emperor and strong outward expansion, can only be regarded as one of the mainstream public opinions, and does not account for an overwhelming majority.
All kinds of capitalism, narrow nationalism, republicanism, liberalism, constitutionalism, anarchism and whatever doctrine all have their own audiences and supporters in Fuso, and have a certain social influence, much like the French society dominated by Napoleon III before the Revolution, which belongs to the turbulent era.
Victory in the Russo-Japanese War gave rise to a great sense of national pride and the power of narrow nationalism and royalism, but it was far from the point of covering the sky with one hand.
The vicious murder of government ministers in Tokyo has caused consternation in various countries, but in the eyes of the people of Fuso, it is very common, and as long as the murderer can commit suicide by disembowelment in the manner of a samurai, public opinion will be tolerant.
The exchange for the death of a mere 10 thugs and the death of an important imperial minister and the deterrence of constitutionalists and pro-Western and pro-ocean liberals was a good deal in any case.
Shan County Youpeng waved his hand to let his subordinates leave, to deal with the vicious cases that made the society boil, and he walked calmly to the backyard.
In the Japanese-style garden shaded by bamboo doors, Marshal Oyamaiwa, who had just returned, was sitting on a stone bench in a loose kimono, and in front of him was a game of Go that had not been finished, and it turned out that the two were talking about a game in hand.
"Shanxian Jun, is it the constitutionalist who instigates public opinion to fight back?" Marshal Oyama asked.
Shan County Youpeng nodded and replied; "The constitutionalists are indeed making a lot of noise, but this is not the main reason, the ambassador of the Ocean Empire to Tokyo expressed serious concern about the incident, and in the submission of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, he pointed to the hardliners in the military, alas...... can hide it from others, but can't hide it from the political situation of the Ocean Empire, they are now keeping an eye on the military forces, and they are bound to give an explanation. β
Youpeng of Shan County sat down with a solemn face, sighed lightly, and his expression was gloomy.
As the veteran behind the high-level hardliners in the military, Yamaguchi Aritomo held a pivotal position in the Choshu faction, successively serving as Secretary of the Army, Chief of Staff, Minister of the Interior, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, and Prime Minister. And personally led the Japanese army to participate in the First Sino-Japanese War, and won numerous meritorious services along the way.
He was the most powerful senator in Fuso, with great influence in the army and government, and was the father of the Fuso Army, which ushered in the era of the military control of the army by the ChΕshΕ« domain, and had an important influence on the change of cabinet and major domestic and foreign affairs.
The official to the first, the great honor, the first rank of merit, the duke, the elder of the Great Fusang Empire, known as the "ancestor of the warlord faction".
Marshal Oyama Iwa was one of the important members of the faction, and there were also many high-ranking generals in the War Department, who had great influence and could influence the expansion policy of the Fuso Empire.
Marshal Dashanyan nodded with deep feelings, the Oceanic State Political Intelligence Bureau is extremely famous at home and abroad, and is the originator of the world's modern system espionage, with tentacles rising to all aspects of military, economic and financial aspects, and has great influence in the dark world.
Be inspired by this
Britain established MI6 in 1904 (five years earlier than in its original history), and Citigroup and Germany are also considering the establishment of relevant agencies.
When he reached the position of Marshal Oyama Iwa, he was able to access many top-secret archives, and he knew that the Political Intelligence Bureau had planned to carry out espionage activities against Fusang as early as twenty years ago, and planted a lot of nails.
At that time, the East Asia Bureau under the Army General Staff Headquarters had just begun espionage and reconnaissance activities against the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Russia, and there was no such awareness of the local counter-espionage work.
Today
Fuso is a country that has done relatively well in intelligence work, and the upper social and economic and military and political authorities generally have a strong sense of secrecy, and it is difficult for information to be leaked, but this is only for European and American countries.
Due to the early start, the news of the upper class of the Fuso State was like a sieve, unilaterally transparent to the political situation of the Ocean Empire.
According to the county's own estimates;
Many secret spies with a background in the political intelligence bureau are already in high positions, and they don't need to spend any effort at all, and they can reasonably and legally access many classified documents, and even he has no secrets in this Japanese-style garden.
Two days after the murder of Komura Shoutaro on the street, Oceania easily pointed out the military background in diplomatic representations, and it was almost revealed that Yamaguchi Youtomo was the mastermind behind the scenes.
What does this mean?
It shows that people have long known what you have done, and you have saved face with a light click, as a regional power in the Western Pacific, the Ocean Empire has the confidence and strength to dictate the internal affairs of Fusang State, and you still have to pinch your nose and listen.
In the live-fire military exercise of the Grand Fleet on the four northern islands, the Fuso Combined Fleet hid far away and did not dare to approach at all, so as not to cause a serious miscalculation and create an excuse for the other side to intervene.
The cabinet did not even dare to protest, and the uproar in the public opinion circles came to an abrupt end to the boycott of the commodities of the Ocean Empire, and instead sang praises and praises for the relations between the two countries.
All of this is the law of the jungle at work.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace
Yamaguchi had to let the samurai who attacked him commit suicide, and the constitutionalists alone could not do this, mainly because they felt the heavy pressure of the Oceanic country.
"It's really a headache, there is no way to check this kind of leakage, maybe the right-hand man we trust has the background of the political intelligence bureau behind him, once this kind of thing is touched, it can't be shaken off for the rest of his life." Marshal Dashanyan shook his head with deep feelings, but he was also helpless.
Even if he achieves the important position of a general in the army staff headquarters, once the background of the political situation behind it is exposed, it is not a matter of personal life and death, but also involves family shame and children, which is more difficult to accept than death.
Therefore, there is a saying in the intelligence community, "Life is a person of the political intelligence bureau, death is a ghost of the political intelligence bureau, and the king of Hades has no problem."
Youpeng of Shan County looked at the fallen leaves in the yard with deep eyes and said softly; "Oyama-kun, this time I tried my best to finally win the Russo-Japanese War and win a seat for the Empire.
But it is also necessary to see that in order to win the victory, the Great Fuso Empire has paid a huge price in terms of manpower, material resources and military strength, and it has reached the stage where it must recuperate.
In the next 10~15 years, the reduction of arms spending and the development of the economy will be the mainstream.
I have studied the history of the development of Li Fushou, the monarch of the Ocean Empire, who pursued the circular development model of expansion ~ digestion ~ accumulation and expansion, as a rare Ming monarch for hundreds of years, this person is my lifelong idol.
And its policy of expansion ~ digestion ~ accumulation and expansion will also be the national policy that the Great Fuso Empire unswervingly adheres to, and historical facts will prove that this is a correct path practiced by predecessors.
There is no shame in admitting this.
Our country is still too poor, the foundation is too weak, although it has a brave and disciplined army, but the national strength cannot support the continuous expansion policy, and it must be built through a generation of hard work to be able to accumulate enough imperial heritage.
In this regard
The Ocean Empire has set a very good example, and its monarch Li Fushou is worthy of being a rare wise monarch in the past 100 years, and he has opened up a path of national independence and self-improvement from under the wings of the British Empire, which is really admirable!
Thirty years ago, we would have never thought about it, let alone put it into practice.
Now history has proved that Li Fushou has great wisdom and courage beyond the world, and has really snatched a large piece of fat from the hands of white people. β
"Shanxian-kun, I very much agree with your opinion." Marshal Oyama Yan said sincerely, paused and asked again; "Your Excellency, what are your plans for the next step in army construction?"
"Send out some knowledgeable, energetic, and promising officers to learn the advanced knowledge of Europe, America, and the Ocean Empire, and don't be afraid that they will mix sand among our people, what should have been mixed a long time ago, as long as these officers can learn real skills and can contribute to the expansion of the empire, all the costs are worth it."
"Hey, the War Department will do as you instruct."
"It is necessary to actively cultivate talents in weapons and equipment, including army squad weapons, field artillery, and the world's cutting-edge armored tank technology, it is said that Britain, France, Germany and the Ocean Empire have secret research and development projects in this regard, and we must follow closely and try to obtain more information."
"Hello, the Army General Staff Headquarters will arrange competent people to do this, no matter how difficult it is, and strive to complete the task."
"Dashanjun, our generation bears the heavy responsibility of the rise of the Yamato nation, and we will overcome all obstacles, not afraid of sacrifice, even if we pile up corpses and mountains of blood, we must break a way to open up an upward development space for the Great Fusang Empire. In this regard, I especially follow the words of Li Fushou; Although the empire was vast, there was not an inch of land to spare. Friends of Shan County said in a solemn tone, and then remained silent for a long time.
Marshal Dashan Yan carefully savored this sentence, and his expression became more and more serious;
The vast territory of tens of millions of square kilometers of the Great Ocean Empire does not have an inch of extra land, and what qualifications does the Fusang country, which is small and resource-poor, have to be complacent?
People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away!
