On January 4, 1927, the last batch of Japanese dispatched troops boarded the transport ship and began to return to the country. The farewell ceremony of the British side was very serious, but very simple. All the personnel of the British command of the army in India and a guard of honor came to the dock.

However, no British troops were sent to line up to see off their farewell.

The salute was fired in enough numbers. When the ship was started, the British command staff saluted Okamura Nishi on the dock. Seeing the few British soldiers gradually getting smaller in their sight, Okamura sighed.

He knew that the war was over and it ended with the failure of the British and Japanese coalition forces.

After standing next to the side of the boat for a long time, Okamura was in a heavy mood. However, he heard the Japanese officers and soldiers in the cabin behind him humming the songs from his hometown happily and chatting about the vacation after returning to China. Okamura thought of being able to reunite with his family, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

Homesickness. But when I think about returning to China, I have to face the increasingly declining situation, but I can't really be happy.

According to domestic news, Japan's tax revenue is already seriously insufficient. Congress passed a high vote to reduce military expenditure, and the reduction efforts are very strong. Among the adopted proposals, military expenditure was reduced by as much as 150 million yen. The total amount of Japanese military expenditure is only 600 million.

It is said that in the initial proposal, the House of Representatives demanded a cut of half of the military expenditure, which is 300 million yen. It was entirely up to the members of the House of Representatives who had close ties to the military voted against each other, and blocked the proposal to cut by half.

.

However, cutting one-quarter of military expenditure is not an acceptable amount for the Japanese army, which means at least one-quarter of the officers and soldiers need to be retired.

Even if you think about it, Okamura returned to his cabin in depressed manner and lay down on the bed. His anxious mood was not resolved. Okamura could not see the end of the Japanese economic recession at all. The economy would only

It's getting worse and worse. If the House of Representatives passes the House of Representatives this year, will the House of Representatives propose the same proposal next year?

Thinking of this, Okamura turned over and sat up from the shop. He saw a stack of newspapers on the table next to him. It was probably the orderly soldier who followed Okamura's order and bought it from the dock. Okamura picked up the top one at random.

Read it.

I originally wanted to divert my attention by reading the newspaper, but after reading it for a while, Okamura really read it in. The headlines in the newspaper, 'The Chinese government announced that given the brutal nature of the US government, based on the Guangdong Provincial Councilor Chen Jiongming, a member of the Republic of China Congress, and Guangdong Province, in conjunction with Guangdong.

The proposal to pass the "Implementation of the Provisions of the Treaty Related to Americans" proposed by lawmakers shall enact the following laws.

All Americans in China must wear signs that can clearly prove their identity, and when Chinese people are in contact, they will be the first to show their identity as Americans.

Americans must go to China regularly for physical examinations including infectious diseases at their own expense to ensure that Americans will not become epidemics and spreaders of bacteria.

Americans are not allowed to engage in a series of prescribed jobs in China.

China does not accept applications for Americans to join Chinese nationality.

...’

Of course, British newspapers bought in Chittagong, British India. British commentators gloatly said that China began to fight back against the United States' "Chinese Exclusion Act".

After reading this news, Okamura frowned, but quickly stretched out. He lay back on the bed, thinking about what was going on.

The member of the proposal was named Chen Jiongming. Okamura remembers that Chen Jiongming was the governor of Guangdong. Before He Rui headed south, he arrested all the personnel from the concessions of various countries that fled southwest of Hunan and Jiangxi, and handed them all over to the He Rui government.

Among some people who were arrested, all those who committed crimes were sentenced after being tried by the He Rui government.

He Rui was extremely ruthless at that time, and some of them could not be divided into death penalty. However, those who work in police and security positions in the concession were considered gang crimes, and the crime was higher than the first level. Therefore, the death rate of such people was as high as 97%.

This proposal was proposed by Chen Jiongming, and it must be He Rui's intention. Now the four-year term of the Congress of the Republic of China is the current term of the Civilized Party in this term of the current term is only about one-third of the members of the Civilized Party. However, this proposal was passed with a high vote and many things are not asked about.

Self-evident.

But why did He Rui do this? Okamura wants to analyze something from this proposal that is entirely directed at the United States.

Okamura had previously noticed that when the Asian International Court of Justice was established, the Chinese government had already begun to stand at a moral level and criticized the US government very severely. It seemed that He Rui had already prepared.

With a thought, Okamura turned over and sat up, and continued to pick up the newspaper to browse. Sure enough, there was a news on the second page. At the press conference held by Chinese Foreign Minister Yan Huiqing on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Britain, a Times reporter asked a question.

'China has a long coastline. Has the Chinese government begun to formulate its own naval plan?'

Generally speaking, the Foreign Minister will answer this question with "Please ask the Navy about this question", or simply use "I don't know about this".

But Yan Huiqing answered this question positively, "The Chinese government has no intention to develop a navy at this stage. Recently, military ships have taken offshore patrol ships as the development direction."

‘What about that long term?’ Times reporter asked. Just by looking at the reports, Okamura could imagine how excited he would be when the Times reporter found out that he could catch such a big news.

Yan Huiqing replied, 'In the long run, China will certainly consider building a navy that can better protect its own. Our Chinese navy has weak shipbuilding capabilities, and valuable funds should be used to develop the domestic economy. Developing a navy is not the most priority of China.

The choice, in the long run, is not an important direction for China's development.'

Times reporters continued to ask, ‘His Minister, given China’s current status, will they consider joining the Washington Naval Treaty?’

‘The tonnage of shipbuilding stipulated in the Washington Naval Treaty has completely exceeded China’s shipbuilding capabilities. Therefore, China has no intention of joining.’

Okamura fell into deep thought again. After thinking for a long time, he thought about a result. China is showing goodwill to the UK.

Thinking of He Rui's flexible diplomatic posture, Okamura Susan sighed.

At 2 pm, amid the alarm, Yan Huiqing woke up from the small bed in the office. While trying hard to open her eyes, she tried to sit up. After rubbing her eyes, Yan Huiqing put on her clothes and stood up, and found that the belt was tighter.

The pants that were fit a month ago were already floating a little. Looking down, you can not only see the toes, but also the entire foot.

It seems that I have to make a new outfit again, Foreign Minister Yan Huiqing sighed in his heart. Although clothes can be worn now, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has higher requirements for clothing and instrumentation than other departments.

But Yan Huiqing was very unhappy. He was scolded and scolded by domestic newspapers.
