Years of the Republic of China 1913

The Cabinet of the Republic of China in Beijing held an emergency meeting, and at the same time the Japanese government cabinet in Tokyo was also having a meeting. Uehara is brave.

The person who is speaking is Yusaku Uehara, and he is talking about the Fengtian incident with a beaming eyebrow. It can be seen that the chief of the Army General Staff seems to be in a good mood, and words such as "opportunity, Godsend..." are constantly being used between the narrations. popped out of his mouth.

Prime Minister Okuma Shigenobu, who had just left office for a few days, half-closed his eyes and looked like he was not asleep. He didn't open his eyes until Yusaku Uehara slammed his fist on the conference table to end his speech.

"Your Excellency Ishii, what is the reaction of the countries of the Allied Powers to the Manchurian incident?" Okuma Shigenobu did not first ask Uehara Yusaku who had just finished speaking, but instead turned his attention to the Minister of Foreign Affairs Kikujiro Ishii.

"Britain and France expressed regret for the sudden Manchuria incident, and suggested that both the Japanese Empire and China should exercise restraint to avoid intensification of the situation." Kikujiro Ishii stood up and bowed slightly to Shigenobu Okuma in the middle, Then said.

"Aside from these, are there any other substantive actions?" Shigenobu Okuma asked.

"Not yet!" Ishii Kikujiro replied immediately.

Nodding his head, motioning for him to sit down, Okuma Shigenobu immediately turned his gaze to Lu Xiang Da Shanyan.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Da Shanyan cleared his throat and stood up, and said: "Masters, the Manchurian incident is an opportunity. Since China announced its entry into the European War, our Great Japanese Empire has fallen into a passive attack plan on China. Situation. In order to take into account the reaction of the countries of the Allied Powers, the Ministry of the Army made several revisions but failed to do so. At this time, the occurrence of the Manchuria incident just gave us an excellent opportunity. As Mr. Uehara said just now, our Great Japanese Empire is just about Use the Manchuria incident as an excuse to launch an attack on China, in order to achieve the goal of controlling Manchuria..."

"Excuse me, sir, is the Ministry of War's plan to occupy the entire Manchuria or just south Manchuria? Are there any other follow-up plans?"

The cabinet secretary, Changjiang Mu Yi, interjected and asked, with a dignified look on his face.

"The initial plan is South Manchuria and Jiaozhou. If the plan goes well, we will march to the whole of Manchuria. As for the follow-up plan, of course it is to conquer the whole of China!" Without waiting for Dashanyan to answer, Uehara Yusaku said first.

"I object!" Jiang Muyi shook his head and said: "If this is the case, the possibility of implementation is too small. With the military strength of our big Japanese empire, we can't achieve such a goal. What's more, China has joined the Allied Powers, and now on the surface It is an ally with our Great Japanese Empire. Once our Great Japanese Empire goes to war with China, it will inevitably arouse strong reactions from the countries of the Allied Powers."

"Your Excellency Jiang Mu's words are too alarmist." Yusaku Uehara smiled disapprovingly and said: "The Allied Powers? The British and French ghosts and animals have fallen into a European war and it is too late to protect themselves. How can they restrict the actions of our Japanese Empire in the Far East? What about the allies? Your Excellency Don't forget that the Manchuria incident was unilaterally provoked by China. They must accept the punishment and the anger of our Great Japanese Empire. Even if Britain and France protest against our Great Japanese Empire for such reasons, there is a limit. Besides, the agreement starts from the signing Isn’t it just for tearing up? It’s been several years since the war, and we’ve gained almost nothing. In this case, if Britain and France use this as an excuse to obstruct the military operations of our Great Japanese Empire, we can even propose to secede from the agreement countries Join the Allies. I think, with the military power of our great Japanese Empire, such a threat will definitely make Britain, France and other countries succumb."

"Childish!" Jiang Muyi snorted coldly.There was disdain in his eyes. He simply looked down on Yusaku Uehara, whose head was full of muscles. How could this kind of warrior who only knew how to use force to solve problems understand the profound meaning of international political balance?Joining the Allied Powers was unanimously approved by the cabinet at the time, according to various analyses.The possibility of the Allied Powers winning the European War is extremely high. Although Japan, as an island country, can be called a great power in Asia, it is actually only a second-rate country in the world. More interests, and then become a real power.

As for what happened to the "Manchuria incident" that Yusaku Uehara kept talking about.Those sitting here knew in their hearts that, as a senior cabinet official, Jiang Muyi had a better understanding of the dirty methods of the Black Dragon Society. This was completely directed by the Black Dragon Society and the army.This kind of incident is nothing more than a political means. If you want to use it as a reason for an all-out war, it is a joke. The politics between countries is not as simple as these warriors imagined, not to mention that a small country like Japan wants to swallow a huge country in one go. In China, this is simply impossible.In Jiang Muyi's mind, with Japan's existing national strength, it can fight a local war at most, and use the Manchuria incident as an excuse to gain some benefits from China. China, this will inevitably bring disaster to Japan, because Japan now simply does not have this ability.

Of course, Jiang Muyi is not a "pacifist". He just feels that the time has not come. Jiang Muyi is in favor of launching a war with China. The difference between him and Yusaku Uehara and others is that he only agrees Step-by-step planning and limited war against all-out war and feverishness.

"Baga!" Sensing the contempt in Jiang Muyi's eyes, Uehara jumped up angrily: "You coward, you are not worthy to sit here, let alone be a subject of the Emperor..."

"Idiot..." Jiang Muyi still looked at him with a sneer, as if looking at a clown.

"Hachi! I want to duel with you!" The furious Uehara Yusaku stretched out his hand to copy but didn't find anything. Only then did he realize that the samurai sword he was carrying had been left outside long before the meeting.

"Enough!" Dashanyan yelled softly, although the voice was not loud but extremely majestic, Yusaku Uehara stared at Jiang Muyi for a long time with puffy eyes before sitting back angrily.

"Today is a cabinet meeting. Please speak freely and don't worry about it." Dashanyan's position is only Lu Xiang, but his title and prestige are far higher than those present, even Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma can't match.What's more, Shigenobu Okuma's term of office is coming soon. For Shigenobu Okuma, this cabinet meeting is almost his last as prime minister, and because of the bad reputation of economic problems, Shigenobu Okuma simply handed over the right to preside over it to Dashan Yan, as the prime minister is at best just maintaining order.

Okuma Shigenobu just echoed a sentence, nodded to Dashanyan, and continued to squint his eyes and wander the sky.

With Eki Tsubasa's words, the Cabinet Minister of Agriculture and Commerce Kono Hironaka, Minister of Education Takada Sanae, and Minister of Internal Affairs Kitokuro Ichiki also expressed the same opinion. They felt that the risk of an all-out war with China was too great, and suggested that the army should only target southern Manchuria. Start a local war.

Listening to everyone's speech, Da Shanyan seemed to have no reaction with a calm expression, but if you observe carefully, there is a hint of disappointment in his eyes.As for Yusaku Uehara, the more he listened to it, the more annoyed he became. Dashanyan stopped him from trying to stand up and refute several times. He was so angry that he clenched his fists and yelled at the pack of red deer in his heart.

What made Yusaku Uehara even more angry was that the Minister of the Navy, Yusaburo Kato, also stood on their side. However, unlike others, Yusaburo Kato proposed to use Qing* Island-Jiaozhou Bay as the main target, and let the army change the original plan. Led by the navy, the target was transferred from South Manchuria to the area around Qingdao.

This time, Uehara Yusaku couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately jumped up and had a big fight with Kato Yusaburo.The two fought red-faced, and almost fought in public at the cabinet meeting, and it was not until Da Shanyan came forward that the two sides were separated.

The meeting lasted from morning to evening, and the army did not make any substantial progress at all. In the end, the disappointed Oyama stone signaled Okuma Shigenobu to end the meeting.

"Your Excellency Dashan, in fact, from my personal point of view, I agree with the army plan, but as the prime minister of a country, please be more considerate." At the end of the meeting, Okuma Shigenobu deliberately fell behind and talked softly with Dashanyan A few words, before leaving, he dropped such a sentence lightly, with some sincerity and apology in his expression.

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Da Shanyan expressed his gratitude with a smile on his face, and when Okuma Shigenobu turned and left, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

"It's all a bunch of rice bugs!" When everyone left, Yusaku Uehara couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped the table and cursed.

"Short-sighted guys..." Dashanyan said with a sneer, and he looked down on Shigenobu Okuma even more in his heart. This old fox made it clear that he wanted their army to stand out. It was Shigenobu Okuma who instigated their army in the first place, in order to divert the bad situation in the country , He secretly planned a plan to go to war with China, but now he has become a turtle, fearing that the war will get out of control and stigmatize himself, and he started Tai Chi again.Having such an incompetent prime minister in the country is simply a disgrace to the Great Japanese Empire. If Dashanyan hadn't been extremely deep in the city, he would have wished to give him a knife.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now?" Without the support of the cabinet, Yusaku Uehara turned to Oyama Iwamichi for help.

"Without them, our army can launch alone." Da Shanshi thought for a while, and suddenly said with a smile. Overwhelmed the powerful Tsarist Russian army and won the final victory.But only a dozen years have passed, and Dashanyan can still achieve the glory of the year on the same land. He absolutely has this confidence and confidence.

"When can the exercise start?" Da Shanyan asked suddenly.

"You mean..." Yusaku Uehara was slightly stunned and suddenly understood, looking at Dashanyan tentatively.

When Dashanyan nodded slowly, Yusaku Uehara immediately became excited: "Report to your Excellency, you can start anytime!"

"Then arrange it as soon as possible, and I will enter the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor now." Da Shanyan patted Yusaku Uehara on the shoulder, turned and walked away quickly. (To be continued..)
