Early 1919

On the shores of Lake Baikal

A small town along the Trans-Siberian Railway, built by Tsarist Russia, is full of snow-capped wasteland, and a railway clearly stretches into the distance.

In the town is parked a long snow-covered train, the patent of a train westward from Vladivostok, with a prominent figure in Fuso politics on board.

The former prime minister of Fuso, the veteran of the Choshu clan who single-handedly created the Changshu feudal faction, is a thin old man who is nearly 80 years old, looking greedily at the vast world outside the window with gloomy eyes, revealing a fiery that is difficult to hide.

He said in a hoarse voice;

"It's a vast and fertile land, even though there is a six-month ice and snow season every year. But there are endless forests and sweet lakes, as well as endless mineral deposits, which is truly a treasure given to me by the Great Fuso Empire! ”

The senior generals of Fuso around him nodded and echoed, and Lieutenant General Hirata Tosuke, commander of the Fuso Dispatch Army, bowed deeply and said in a flattering tone;

"Your Excellency, the Senator;

If the area east of Lake Baikal were to be connected with Manchuria, Mongolia, and Korea, the total area would be 21 times that of the Daifuso Empire (minus the Hokkai Province and the Amami Islands), and all of them would be able to confront the Republic of China head-on.

The "mainland policy" you advocated is now being realized, and this will become a glorious new starting point for the rejuvenation of the Yamato nation.

It is a great honor for me to be a part of this great cause. ”

"General Hirata has an overreputation, this is inseparable from the joint efforts of the dispatched officers and soldiers, you have worked hard." Friends and friends in Shanxian County said hypocritically.

This made the senior military and political officials present feel very excited, and they bent down vigorously and saluted, "Hi Yi", "This is our honor", "Willing to serve the Great Fusang Empire to the death." ”……

The train car is heated by boiling boilers, and only thin clothes are required to stay inside.

The cold ice on the car windows was all baked, and the eyes outside the window were filled with joy and joy in the endless forests and snowfields of Lake Baikal, which made these high-ranking military and political officials of Fuso proud.

As the number one veteran of the Fuso state, Yamaguchi Aritomo has woven an influence that has penetrated into the political, official, and academic circles in the country, forming the largest faction in Japan's political history, including the Privy Council, the House of Nobles, and the Ministry of Justice, in addition to the military department, and can influence the political situation with just a few words.

Taking advantage of the civil strife in Tsarist Russia, it was his decision to invade Siberia on a large scale.

The "continental policy" of Fuso and the "Yellow Russia Plan" of Tsarist Russia collided-for-tat, and the first bloody and brutal confrontation in the Russo-Japanese War had already begun.

More than ten years later

The fact that they expanded so easily to the shores of Lake Baikal made these Fuso people overjoyed and full of ambition.

As the formulator of the policy of northward expansion, the county has friends who want to witness this great moment when the flag of the Great Fuso is planted in Siberia despite old age and infirmity.

At this time, his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, which was already floating in the praise of everyone.

In the flattery of everyone, Shan County Youpeng said with a conceited smile on his face;

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have the greatest admiration for His Majesty Richard, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and have always regarded him as the spiritual mentor of life and the beacon of progress.

For the Yamato people, who are trapped on isolated islands, only foreign expansion and colonization is a thoroughfare to achieve the rejuvenation of the nation and the country.

If we want to be on a par with the European and American powers, the "mainland policy" is the only way out.

As everyone knows, the road to southward colonial expansion has been completely blocked by Britain, France, Tang and other world powers, and there is no possibility of even a case.

Only the mainland policy of going north is the national rejuvenation policy of the Yamato nation.

Practice has shown that this is the right path.

No matter what the cost, we must unswervingly take root in this vast and fertile land of Siberia and make it a paradise for the Yamato nation.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am already old and frail, so I will ask for it in the future. ”

After saying that, he stood up tremblingly and bowed.

Inspired by the words of the three prefectures, Lieutenant General Hirata Tosuke and other military and political figures bowed ninety degrees in return, and he replied with red eyes and choked up;

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, you have pointed out a bright path for the future of the Yamato nation, please leave it to us.

More than 50,000 officers and soldiers of our Siberian army will unswervingly practice your concept of colonial expansion and defend this hard-won achievement with blood and lives.

The morale of the entire army is high, and they will be firmly planted here like nails to defend this sacred territory for His Majesty the Emperor and the people.

This is the resounding oath of my Siberian Dispatch Army, don't say anything about this is the land of the Buryats, since the battle flag of my Siberian Dispatch Army is planted here, this is the territory of the Yamato nation. ”

"Yo Xi, it's good to drop a big drop." There are friends in Shanxian who coldly dragged a sentence of Mandarin, which is now the most fashionable trend.

The Fuso aristocracy called it the Chinese, and they were proud of their fluency in the national language, which could distinguish them from the vast number of lowly commoners and merchants, and they were full of aristocratic style.

Youpeng of Shanxian praised it, then turned to look at the group of military and political officials in front of him, his expression became much more serious, and he explained seriously;

"The road to the rise of the Great Fuso Empire is difficult and long, and now is just the beginning, and there are still many trials and difficulties waiting for us in the future.

I hope that you will not be complacent, and you will forge ahead.

While we occupy this vast and cold Siberian land, the Tang Empire has expanded its territory in Europe and forcibly cut more than 200,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian land from the defeated Germany.

meanwhile

The Tang Empire extended its hand to the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa, and further expanded its colonial footsteps to Syria, which are all great colonial achievements that we are far behind.

Compared with Datang's large-scale efforts to emigrate millions of people at every turn, our Fusang government is too slow and too timid, and it is simply a guard dog greedy for a little leftovers.

Therefore, before the northern tour, I have united some like-minded enthusiastic people to pass a motion in the government to further increase the intensity and investment in the northward expansion.

General Hirata, your Siberian Dispatch is about to undergo a major expansion, from more than 50,000 to 100,000 troops, and this is only the first step.

I hope that you will not limit yourself to what you have achieved so far, but that your army will move further westward and occupy the vast expanses of Central Siberia.

Now is a once-in-a-lifetime time when the country has drawn up a plan to emigrate 6 million nationals, which will begin to be implemented during the warm freeze-thaw season after the beginning of spring.

Please remember

This is a great era of earth-shaking changes in the world map, and the Tang Empire has achieved the greatest results in its first attack, and we must not slack off.

Compared with the sages of the Tang Dynasty, our Yamato nation is also unwilling to be mediocre, and wants to do a vigorous career.

As we grow old and look back on the past, we will be inspired by the brilliant deeds we have created, which is the sacred historical mission of our generation.

Gentlemen, please work hard, please. ”

"Hey, we will swear to follow in the footsteps of His Excellency the Patriarch and shed the last drop of blood for the rise of the Yamato nation."

"Hi Yi, it's really exciting!"

"Hey, please see how we perform."

"Hi Yi, I firmly believe in ...... The time has come for the Yamato nation. ”

There was a lively atmosphere of nodding and bowing in the warm carriage, and these high-ranking military and political officials were all inspired by the chicken soup for the soul of Youpeng in Shan County, and they stared at each other and shouted.

Outside the window, there was a world covered in snow, and I don't know when it started, and it fell one after another.

The cold wind howled through the cold snowy forest, and the Japanese soldiers in the bleak town were already blue from the cold, and fell to the white snow one by one.

The current conditions in Fuso were extremely shabby, and it was difficult to prepare enough blankets for the soldiers to protect them from the cold, and not everyone was equipped with woolen coats and woolen military hats.

More than 50,000 Japanese officers and soldiers were equipped with only 22,000 sets of military wool coats and only 6,400 wool military hats, which was far from meeting the demand.

All these expensive military supplies need to be imported from the Tang Empire, and Fusang does not have so many cattle and sheep in his own country.

Many Fusang soldiers robbed the local Russians of their warm clothes and stripped them off their bodies, so the army's uniforms were strange.

In the case of tight military spending, those soldiers who did not get warm clothes had to be more patient.

Anyway, the lives of Fuso are not worth much, and under the baptism of fanatical thoughts, these difficulties can still be overcome.

Since Youpeng advocated the establishment of a modern army in Shanxian County, the military strength of Fuso has expanded rapidly to the naked eye, and the quality of officers and men is also quite high, and their combat skills are proficient.

The most commendable thing is the accuracy of the Japanese army's marksmanship, because the Japanese army is short of supplies and cherishes every ammunition, so it has a tradition of hard training in shooting skills.

When dealing with the Russian bandits and the enemy of the White Russian army, it really showed extraordinary power and a completely crushing posture.

The smooth sailing invasion and expansion made the Japanese army's confidence highly inflated, and it further set the expansion target in the Irkutsk region of Central Siberia, which was really insatiable.

The entire region of Eastern Siberia, Central Siberia and Western Siberia in Tsarist Russia has a total area of more than 13 million square kilometers, which is an incomparably vast cold snowy region.

Even Richard did not expect that the occupation of the Siberian region did not satisfy the good appetite of the Fuso people, and he was actually involved in the Central Siberian region, and he was really not afraid of dying.

The butterfly effect was at work, and the rise of the Tang Empire further stimulated the ambitions of the Fuso people, who were ready to go big.

Not beat around the bush

The Tang Empire did not play a guiding role in this process, all because Fusang was unwilling to be subordinate to others and wanted to be a prominent world power.

When ambition breaks through barriers and spreads like a flood, no one knows how to end it?

This is the case in Fuso, where the ambition of colonial expansion in the north has been fully aroused, and no one can stop it when the whole country is in a frenzy.
