Chapter 428: Changes in Italy

January 9, 2764 (1923), Hanjing.

"The Young Japan Association is doing very well, especially in the Army, where they have enlisted the support of a considerable number of mid- and high-ranking officers. For example, they received a clear support for the Army's Director of Education, Admiral Yoshiko Akiyama, and Lieutenant General Yoshinori Shirakawa, Vice Minister of the Army and Director of the Army's Aviation Headquarters......"

Early this morning, Huo Jinsi, director of the National Intelligence Bureau, rushed to report on the situation in Japan.

"Oh, that's good. Yoshiko Akiyama is the Army's Director of Education, and if he is there, their development will be smoother. Wen Deji nodded.

Huo Jinsi said with a little regret: "But the progress of the navy is not smooth, the main members who have been successfully developed are non-commissioned officers and soldiers, mainly officers below the lieutenant colonel, lieutenant colonel Kondo Nobutake, Takasu Shiro, major Kurita Keno, Takahashi Iwang and others, the largest number of officers are Captain Yanagimoto Yanagimoto, Captain Onishi Takijiro and other lieutenants. Senior officers at the rank of colonel and above had an ambiguous attitude. According to the analysis of our expert group, although they have a certain sympathy for the situation of the people, they will not really participate in it. The biggest possibility is to remain neutral and act in the limelight. ”

Wen Deji smiled indifferently: "Hehe, this is expected. Most of the people in Etajima are elites, the kind that is in the top 5% of high schools in Japan, and even if these people had a bad family situation before, when they become naval officers, their treatment will be good, and their status will improve, so it is unlikely that they will be willing to rebel. Therefore, the revolution in Japan should still be dominated by the army......"

Regarding the attitude of the Japanese Navy, Buntokuji was also prepared for a long time, and he did not expect them to become the main force from the beginning. After all, the Navy is well treated, and ordinary soldiers eat no worse than the middle-level officers of the army's horse manure. The drill is tiring, and after doing this like this, I guess I don't have the energy or the time to think about rebellion. There is no such thing in this world that eats and drinks well, is busy every day, and is still in the mood to engage in revolution.

Even the soldiers of the Navy are like this, not to mention the officers. The Japanese Navy is a very rigid army that pays attention to seniority, and its ranks and positions are strictly promoted according to the hammock number and number of classes in the military academy, and there has never been such a thing as a so-called soldier to a general. Officers who go up from non-commissioned officers are simply rare, and the Japanese Navy clearly stipulates that as long as you are not from Etajima and Haida, no matter how much you are bullish, you will never have a chance with the general for the rest of your life, and even the colonels are difficult to climb up, and if you can retire as a captain, it will be smoke from the ancestral grave.

Today's Japanese naval officers are basically from Etajima, which is the most difficult school in Japan. The people who can be admitted to Etajima are the kind of students who are in the top 5% of high schools in Japan, and knowledge changes their fate. Even if these people had a bad family background before, but after they became naval officers, it would be different. You must know that Japan can attach great importance to the navy, especially the treatment of officers. Don't say anything else, but in terms of food, they are comparable to the princes and nobles, not to mention that the army is difficult to match, in fact, even the average Japanese nobles are not comparable to them. They may sympathize with the lower classes during the revolution and not work hard, or remain neutral, but it should be difficult for them to rise up in rebellion themselves.

In fact, the extent to which the Japanese Science and Technology Socialist Party has developed in the navy has already surprised Buntokutsu.

"Mr. Wen, Bei Yihui, they can't wait, and then ask when we will start?" Huo Jinsi said.

Wen Desi shook his head and said: "Not yet! Let them wait a little longer, just tell them that the time is not yet ripe, their mastery of the people is still at a critical point, and the people still have expectations for the royal family, and there is a great possibility that the launch will fail now." ”

Yes, although the lower classes of Japan are living in hardship, they are barely starving to death, and more importantly, their traditions still have expectations for the emperor system, that is, if they rebel now, even if they succeed, it will be difficult for the emperor to disappear completely, which is not in line with Buntokuji's idea. The "Dark Card" is definitely an unstable factor, and it must be completely eliminated.

So this needs an introduction, so that at least most people in the people are completely disappointed with the "dark card". And this introduction was the Great Kanto Earthquake in September this year.

Although the pattern of this world has become unrecognizable under the agitation of the "Wind God Pterodactyl", it is limited to the pattern of human society, and things like natural disasters on this planet are still not transferred by human will.

There is no way, Mr. Wen's charm is not enough to affect the movement of the earth's crust.

For example, the famous "Great Haewon Earthquake" happened in the same way, and the time was still at 8:06 p.m. on December 16, 1920. The magnitude of this earthquake was 8 on the Richter scale. Level 5. The epicenter had an intensity of 12 degrees, the depth of the epicenter was 17 kilometers, and 28 deaths. 820,000 people, four cities were destroyed, and dozens of county towns were damaged. It was the most widespread earthquake in Chinese history, with a felt area of 2.51 million square kilometers. The magnitude of the earthquake was rare in China's history and one of the largest in the world. The energy released by the earthquake is equivalent to 11. 2 major Tangshan earthquakes. The strong tremor lasted for more than ten minutes, and at that time, 96 seismic stations around the world recorded the earthquake, which was called the "global earthquake".

In China, there is no earthquake that can be compared to the Haiyuan earthquake. From ancient times to the present, there have been 3 earthquakes in our country that are believed to have reached 8. Magnitude 5, in addition to the Haiyuan earthquake, there are also the 1688 Shandong Tancheng earthquake and the August 15, 1950 Tibet Metuo earthquake, but the Haiyuan earthquake is the only earthquake in China with an epicenter intensity of 12 degrees.

The earthquake caused widespread and intense tectonic deformation zones and a wide variety of other phenomena of great scale. For example, the Great Wall north of Yinchuan near the Mongolian desert was cut by earthquakes, and the landform of the Loess Plateau was completely changed. There are various faults in the extreme earthquake zone, some of which are tens of kilometers long, and the horizontal fault distance is up to 17 meters. Stagger the ridges, cross the river, and cross the canyon. A fault zone was formed after this earthquake. This fault zone starts from the nitrate mouth of Guyuan, passes through Haiyuan, Xi'an Prefecture and Ganyanchi to Xingquanbao in Jingtai County, with a total length of 220 kilometers.

In the history of the original plane, this earthquake caused 28. More than 280,000 people died, four cities were destroyed, and dozens of county towns were damaged.

Of course, Mr. Wen is a traverser after all, of course such a big natural disaster will not fail to prepare, as early as not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was preparing to prevent these super natural disasters, and the advantage of the traverser is here.

The reason why this earthquake caused so many casualties in the original time and space was that in addition to the fact that the earthquake was too big, there were many human factors. One is that the local people live in the cave, the erosion of the Loess Plateau soil is loose, if it is a small earthquake is fine, but once this super earthquake, the loess collapses like a huge wave, and the cave becomes a grave.

The second is that the Beiyang government at that time was relatively wasteful, and the response was extremely slow, and the rescue organization after the disaster was not effective, because of the aftershocks, cold, hunger, plague and other factors after the earthquake, at least 70,000 or 80,000 people died. The third is that the atmosphere of officialdom is not good, the corrupt officials are too dark-hearted, and the problem of withholding disaster relief funds is quite serious, and at least more than half of the disaster relief funds have been withheld and drifted away by bureaucrats at all levels.

The original plane is very different, and it is always no problem to destroy the seismogram, and this kind of power involving planetary transformation will not be able to do it for at least two centuries. However, there is no problem at all in other aspects, first of all, the major project of consolidating villages and villages, and all cities, towns, and villages within the hardest-hit areas have been rearranged. The vast majority of the local people moved out of the caves, especially in the hardest-hit areas where there are records, and all of them moved out of the caves. In addition, the buildings in the areas near the hardest-hit areas have also been comprehensively renovated in various names in the past few years, and all the old and dilapidated houses have been demolished and rebuilt, and the new buildings have been built to the standard of being able to withstand an eight-magnitude earthquake.

Moreover, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology regularly organized the masses to conduct earthquake prevention and disaster relief exercises in various earthquake-prone areas throughout the country. In particular, from 1917 to 1920, schools, institutions, enterprises, and institutions in Haiyuan, Guyuan, and other counties conducted earthquake and disaster prevention drills every quarter under the guidance of the fire brigade. Officials at all levels, hospitals, local garrisons, police and fire brigades are required to practice every month.

On December 16, residents of the hardest-hit areas of Haiyuan, Guyuan, Tongwei, and Jingning were all used to leave their homes and go to open areas for entertainment activities that night. In the past few days, a large number of military and police have also been concentrated in these areas, and a large number of relief materials have been transferred to neighboring areas.

As soon as the earthquake began, officials at all levels, as well as the military and police, who had already received relevant training, immediately took action to organize the masses and maintain order. As soon as the earthquake ended, all kinds of disaster relief work was immediately carried out in an orderly manner, and relief materials from neighboring areas were delivered to the disaster area as soon as possible, and at the same time, the army dispatched a large number of airships, airplanes, and even helicopters, which had just come out, to rush to the disaster area for rescue.

Facts have proved that these preparations in advance were not done in vain, because of the effective organization and support, only 1,332 people died and more than 7,000 were injured in the "Haiyuan Earthquake", which is already very successful compared with the terrifying number of more than 280,000 people in the original time and space. The most rare thing is that because the post-disaster control is extremely effective, not a single victim has died due to cold, hunger, plague and other factors.

In addition to this earthquake, there is also a natural disaster that is difficult to control, such as the Shantou typhoon disaster last year. The same typhoon occurred on August 2, 1922, and it was the deadliest typhoon disaster in China in the 20th century. On this day, a Pacific typhoon made landfall in the Shantou area of Guangdong, China. During the day, the sky is dark, and the southeast wind of magnitude 6-8 brings gusty rain. At 9 o'clock in the evening, the typhoon made landfall, shaking the mountains and mountains, pulling out trees and destroying houses. At 3 o'clock in the morning of the 3rd, the wind increased to level 12, the tide came with the waves, the sea water rose sharply by 3.6 meters, and the 150 kilometers of coastal embankments all burst, and the wild waves entered the city like a waterfall.

Six counties and one city in Shantou region were devastated and looted, killing more than 70,000 people and displacing hundreds of thousands. Many fishing villages by the sea have been wiped out, and after the disaster, the houses are in ruins, the corpses are everywhere, the water is full of rotting corpses, the trees are hung with clothes and shoes, and the mountain tops are covered with broken boats. The farmland flooded by the sea did not grow crops, and the well water was salty and undrinkable, and it took two years for it to be desalinated.

However, with preparations, this storm disaster in this plane is nothing. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the CSD rebuilt and strengthened all the dikes in typhoon-prone areas, and all buildings were rebuilt and reinforced, and they were treated against wind. Settlements have also been optimally allocated and redistributed. Moreover, unlike earthquakes, typhoons cannot be predicted, they can be warned.

After receiving the typhoon warning, the Shantou regional government and local garrisons immediately organized hundreds of thousands of people to stand by and evacuate the masses. As a result, the property damage was not large, with only 36 people killed and more than 900 injured.

But Japan is different, they don't have the warning of the crosser, this Kanto earthquake will definitely expose their government as it is, and then the lower classes of people will be completely disappointed in their "dark card" in despair. After the earthquake, when the Japanese elite showed their original form and the people were completely disappointed, it was the best time for the Japanese Science and Technology Party to make trouble.

………………………………………………………………

At this time, Gu Xiaolan broke in with a document and said, "Mr. Wen, the latest information, the Italian fascist party has seized the Milan city government!"

"Oh, it's finally begun!" Mussolini is finally moving......" Wendeji breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the social landscape has changed so much, the "march into Rome" that was supposed to take place last year has not even shown signs of happening. But Mussolini and the Fascists have come to the fore.

The Yi Duli of the original plane stood in the wrong line because of the heat of the brain, and as a result, the colonies that were hard to get their hands were completely lost, and the most elite northern industrial area in the country was also looted by the Japanese locust army and the Black Shu millets. The black millet is better, just grabbing floating money, while the Japanese locust army is an organized robbery, and the places they have taken care of are as clean as washing, and the worst thing is the factory, which is simply not even a screw down.

The hapless Italian lost almost everything in the war, and after the war, Italy's economy was in difficulty and political turmoil, and the disgraced royal government was powerless in the face of this situation, which led to a deepening social crisis. Anyway, in this case, Yi Duli will either turn left to make a revolution or turn right to make a fascist, and there is no third way to choose.

However, in view of the communist revolutions that broke out in Russia and then Germany, European countries were extremely wary of leftist forces such as communism and socialism. Therefore, relatively speaking, the post-war fascist party is more likely to come to power.

In June 1920, Mussolini founded the Fascist Combat Regiment in Milan, composed mostly veterans and disgruntled with reality, including the statist D'Annunzio. On the one hand, the fascists used the slogans of "nationalism" and "patriotism" for propaganda. At the same time, they took advantage of the fear of communism in the upper strata to vigorously attack the Socialist Party and the Communists. The fascist militants, dressed in black shirts, went about destroying workers' meetings and destroying the centres of the Socialist Party in order to expand their power.

Because Italy in this plane is even worse, the development speed of fascism has exceeded that of the original time and space. In the May 1921 election, the Fascist Party won 56 seats, surpassing the 35 seats in the same period in the original history, and Mussolini officially entered the parliament. In November the Fascist Party was formally established and its programme was proposed. By the end of 1922, the fascist party had grown to more than 300,000 people.

At the end of last year, there was a crisis in the Fakrt government, which invited the fascist party to join the government. The Socialist Party boycotted this action and launched a general strike in December. The fascists seized the opportunity to strike at the power of the workers and seized the city government of Milan.

"Huo Jinsi, Mussolini should pay more attention to it. Wendesi quickly gave the order, and the change in Italy was expected. The Itali has become so declining this time that the whole society has become a pressure cooker, and if they don't want to break out into revolution, then the rise of the fascist party is also inevitable.

This is not to say that Wen Desi does not want to mix, but he does not have the ability to mix. Europe is not like its neighbors such as Japan and Siam, it is still too far away to project power at all. Moreover, the Italian Science and Technology Socialist Party is currently immortal, and it has no power at all, so even if it wants to intervene, it is more than enough to intervene.

Moreover, China was overfed in World War I and is now busy digesting the fruits of these victories, and it really has no time to take care of too much. It's like the Japanese "rice riots" in 1919, and China didn't intervene. At that time, the First World War was not over, and although the peak of the Spanish flu had passed, there were still many aftermaths, and there were so many new territories to digest that I really couldn't spare the energy to intervene.

As for things in Europe, Mr. Wen's purpose is to go with the flow, and at most push it when the time comes, but he will definitely not wade into troubled waters. The export revolution also has to be done according to its ability, otherwise even if it is done, it will be a wedding dress for others, and the hard work will be in vain, and you won't be able to get a fart. Mr. Wen exported the revolution not for any lofty goal such as "liberating all mankind", he was only for the interests of China, so as long as it was not beneficial to China, he would never do it, even if the people of those countries were pitiful, they would not be able to move him, anyway, other people's children would not be able to die.

"Yes, we will increase the ......surveillance of Mussolini and the Fascist Party," Huo Jinsi continued: "Mr. Wen, the Hitler you mentioned last time, our people have already come into contact with him, and he has now completely controlled the German Workers' Party, and has changed its name to the [German National Socialist Workers' Party]......"

"Oh, the Nazi Party has finally appeared......" Wendeji laughed.

"Yes, Hitler's Nazi Party is growing fast, and they are already preparing to participate in the general election...... "Although the peak of the Spanish flu has passed, there are still many aftermaths, and there are so many new territories to digest that they really can't spare the energy to interfere."

As for things in Europe, Mr. Wen's purpose is to go with the flow, and at most push it when the time comes, but he will definitely not wade into troubled waters.

"Oh, the Nazi Party has finally appeared......" Wendeji laughed.

"Yes, Hitler's Nazi Party is growing fast, and they are ready to run for the general election......"
