in the crowd

Marshal Li Xuanzhu was pestered by the short Fuso Minister Hirata Tosuke, this Fuso minister bowed like a kowtow machine, not to mention how respectful his demeanor was, I am afraid that he did not serve his mother so much at home.

"Your Excellency the Generalissimo, it is really an unspeakable matter, and I have caused you trouble. The conflict between the soldiers of the country and the Yankees of the United States is intensifying, which is really worrying! The Chinese side has sent more than 10 diplomatic notes in a row, but the people of the United States have an arrogant attitude, ignore them, and insist on engaging in border frictions, which has made Japan-US relations even worse. The contemptible duty is concerned, and he has to ask His Excellency the Generalissimo to help him on behalf of his country. ”

"Foreign Minister Hirata, I'm afraid this won't work."

Marshal Li Shunzhu looked at Foreign Minister Hirata Tosuke, who was courteous and humble in front of him, and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he quickly replaced it with a calm look, and said warmly;

"It's been more than a month since the armistice was signed, the allies have been disbanded and the war is over.

The troops of various countries are withdrawing from the territory of the United States in an orderly manner, and the number of imperial expeditionary forces is larger, and there are more large and small belongings, so the withdrawal is slower.

But in any case, by October 7 of this year, in accordance with the armistice treaty that has been signed, we must withdraw from the territory of the United States in order to show the validity of the allies' compliance with the treaty.

In this case

We have no position to interfere in the affairs of a sovereign state, and we suggest that you and the United States set up a coordination group on bilateral issues for full communication and consultation.

I'm concerned about this, but I can't help it! ”

Foreign Minister Tosuke Hirata's expression was obviously stagnant for a moment, still holding on to the last hope, and he bowed 90 degrees and said; "The current border dispute may escalate into a local war, which is a situation that Fuso does not want to see, and I beg His Excellency the Generalissimo to work together to bring about peace, please."

"Now that the Allied Command has been disbanded, I can pay attention to this matter in my personal capacity, and I hope that you and the United States will communicate more and seek common ground while reserving differences!"

"Thank you, Generalissimo, it's really troublesome."

"You're welcome."

Marshal Li Xuanzhu didn't want to worry about this matter at all, let alone get into trouble.

As one of the Empire's top military leaders, he knew the ins and outs of the New Mexico issue, which was a bleeding wound in the U.S.-Japan relationship.

If you trace back to the roots, it is still the handwriting of today's saints, and the bureau laid out by one hand.

How could Marshal Li Xuanzhu dare to stir up this troubled water?

Today's saint threw out this bait completely out of a yang scheme, and the little devil of Fusang is not stupid, and he calculates the pros and cons very clearly, but he still bites the hook without hesitation, because this has added a "eastward" strategic direction to Fusang's "southward and northward" expansion policy.

Compared with the old Maozi of Tsarist Russia who fought to the death in the ice and snow, and often suffered tens of millions of casualties, it is easy to pick up a New Mexico region behind the Ocean Empire, and it is not difficult to choose where to go.

Although the land of New Mexico is a little barren, the climate is warm, there is oil, there are copper mines, and there are abundant coal resources, which are all things that Fuso longs for but cannot get.

For this reason, they did not hesitate to turn against the Mi Guoyan.

In today's world, the British are the talkers, and the Ocean Empire is also a big thick leg, and the rice guy is a hairy man!

The Fusang people said that they were not stunned at all, compared with those arrogant old Maozi of Tsarist Russia, the poor and slippery Qing people, and the Mi Guoyan is a rich young master with money and oil, and the "Eastward Expansion Strategy" has a lot of head!

Why?

Qingguo is indeed easy to bully, but poor!

The eight countries of the "Xinchou Treaty" together only got 450 million taels of silver war reparations, which were distributed to the Fuso people, which was more than 100 million taels of silver, almost more than 15 million pounds, and it would take 45 years to pay off, only a few hundred thousand pounds a year.

The country is different, it's really rich!

The Ocean Empire took the lead in winning the war, with a total of 6.8 billion US dollars in war reparations, 4.2% interest, divided into 20 years, and a total of 9.668 billion US dollars with principal and interest.

The Ocean Empire took the lead in winning the war, and the Pacific Alliance won 76% of the share, of which the Ocean Empire accounted for 71.5%, and the huge interests of 6.8 billion US dollars were carved up.

Because of the small size of the economy, the younger brothers behind him are also full of oil, and the domestic economy is soaring like a rocket, becoming the dazzling economic stars of the Western Pacific region.

The remaining Britain, Germany, Japan, Russia, Italy, Austria and other countries divided up 24% of the share, and the British disregarded the appearance of eating, and talked about the merit of occupying Detroit, and forcibly occupied 10.05 shares, took 967 million US dollars, and almost completely recovered the losses in the second Anglo-Boer War, which can be described as a complete victory.

Churchill, the Minister of the Admiralty, made a lot of political qualifications because of this great merit, and the Liberal Cabinet also made a big comeback, and Li Jianyang not only had the rank of brigadier general, but also the High Order of Merit personally awarded by King George V next spring.

If King Edward VII had not had braided hair, he would have at least been an earldom this time, but now it is uncertain.

Fuso took 7.3% of the share because it had the second largest number of troops among its allies, which was less than 700 million US dollars, or 1.4 billion yen, and this money minus the 600 million yen borrowed by the United States for the Russo-Japanese War and the 330 million yen spent on the Japanese war, it stands to reason that there would be 470 million yen left.

It's a pity not to forget

In the Russo-Japanese War, a total of 2.6 billion yen of war loans were in deficit, which cut off the debts of the rice countrymen, and the two big creditors of Britain and the Ocean Kingdom stared at each other.

So the remaining 400 million yen was repaid to the family 200 million, and what ended up in the hands of the Fuso people was 30 million yen, which is equivalent to 15 million US dollars.

The Japanese Navy took half of this money for the purchase of new ships, the War Department took 1/4 for the development of armaments, and the remaining 1/4 was used for domestic education to promote the spirit of loyalty and patriotism of bushido.

The 2.6 billion yen war loan was repaid at once for 1 billion yen, and a New Mexico region was repaid for nothing, which made most of the debt mountain that weighed on Fuso more and easier at once.

The war reparations totaled 24%, of which Britain and Japan shared 17.35%, and the rest of Germany and Russia were not polite.

In general, the robbers returned with a full load, and only the ravaged Mi Guoyan hid in the corner and wept secretly, covered in bruises.

A "wool war" down

The "Santa Cruz Issue" between Chile and Argentina, the "Northern Territories Issue" between Argentina and Uruguay, the "Luray Issue" between the United States and the Republic of Virginia, and the "New Mexico Issue" between Japan and the United States have all laid major hidden dangers, which are bound to become major problems that will plague bilateral relations for a long time in the future.

But now, the end of the war should be celebrated, and not dwelled on these small issues.

"Hirata-sama, has His Excellency the Generalissimo agreed to intervene?" The person who questioned him was Shinji Yokoji, a senior foreign affairs officer, with a concerned look on his face.

Foreign Minister Tosuke Hirata smiled bitterly and said; "How can you expect the marshal to agree to such an embarrassing thing, and still feel embarrassed to think of taking the liberty of saying something for help. You still need to rely on your own strength to solve the problem! ”

"Do you mean that we have 4 divisions in North America?"

"Baga, don't always think about bothering others, what is the position of Your Excellency the Generalissimo to send people, money and troops to help us solve the trouble? It's really unbelievable, I wonder what those people in Tokyo think? Was it a donkey that kicked him in the head? ”

"Think about it, the Ocean Empire just never relies on others, this is the admirable demeanor of a strong man!"

"So the cowardly state should not say any more 'please', and it is really ashamed to say this to His Excellency the Generalissimo. The merchants of the 4th Division who were ashamed of the Great Fuso Empire should have committed suicide to thank the countrymen, and they were all disgraced to the world, and whenever they saw those Western devils pointing at us, they were ashamed to find a crack in the ground to drill into, and their toes could dig out a Japanese room! ”

"Hirata-kun, it's really hard for you."

"This is where the duty lies!" Foreign Minister Tosuke Hirata let out a long sigh with a depressed expression.

The contempt of the Western countries for the Fusang country has never been hidden, and the Fuso people, who urgently need the recognition of the world, are as sensitive as a child with low self-esteem, looking at the glorious Ocean Empire with eager and jealous eyes, and carefully guarding their cracked glass hearts.

The four divisions sent to North America by the Fuso Kingdom retreated into New Mexico after the signing of the peace treaty, taking over the defense zone of the Ocean Empire.

The rice guys were indeed scared and withered by the Ocean Empire, but it didn't mean that they were afraid of the small Fuso, so after the Fuso Division took over the defense of the New Mexico region, trouble came.

The originally well-behaved Mi Guoyan went directly to the door, and forcefully demanded that the Fuso people withdraw from the New Mexico region and go back to their own islands.

As a result, the border soldiers on both sides fought fiercely, resulting in a serious situation of mutual casualties.

Logically speaking, this is enough reason to go to war.

However, neither Japan nor the United States was ready to fight a war, and Fuso could not afford to fight, and he did not have the ability to send millions of troops to the North American continent, so many armored vehicles, artillery, and aircraft, let alone capture the Great Lakes region and break the confidence of the Chinese people.

Although it is one of the world's leading industrial powers, it has suffered a lot of damage after the ravages of war and needs time to recuperate.

Therefore, Japan and the United States have maintained a tacit understanding that there are constant small frictions in the border areas, but neither of them has taken the last step.

Anyway, if Fusang wants to occupy this piece of land, it is not so easy.

Ultimately

Mi Guoyan doesn't understand the national characteristics of Fusang country, which is sticky candy, and he hasn't suffered a big loss, so he doesn't know if he wants to tear it off if he is glued...... Hehe, that's really painful with a big piece of belt meat.

This is Li Fushou's gift to President Woodrow Wilson, a conspiracy on the bright side, the Fuso people can't resist the temptation, and the rice guys want to die for it, and they really suffer a lot!
