Jiang Qiang was watching Tang Juwu's speech at home. At this time, he was thinking about who revealed Tang Juwu's speech. At this time, Tang Juwu was a public enemy of the world, but he still seemed to be so relieved. It didn't take long
He saw Tingting, his eldest sister, and Wang Huimin each holding a newspaper. Jiang Qiang thought that the three angry young men in the family must have caused a lot of trouble in the family.
Jiang Qiang was right about everything he thought. He heard a chirping sound before he got home, especially Tingting, who was gesticulating with her teeth and claws. Yes, at this time, Jiang Qiang didn't want to cause public outrage, so he quietly
Taking the vegetable basket, he went to the market to add some dishes to his family's dinner table. At this time, he couldn't afford to offend the angry young man at home. Jiang Qiang went to the vegetable market and bought a few random dishes before going home.
The Emperor in the Japanese Imperial Palace was talking to ordinary ministers about how to suppress the prestige of the Shanghai people. At this time, Japan's new Prime Minister Hirota Koki said that our biggest headache now is how powerful Tang Juwu's weapons are, and how powerful they are.
If there is a war, it must be fought. It depends on how we fight it. It is still a matter of going south or going north. At this time, when we go north, we have to face Wang Yizhe's troops. After these two years of war, our weapons are not the opponent of the Chinese yet.
, and whether our plane leaves first or is too slow, let’s see if we can borrow money from the United Kingdom and the United States. At this time, the United Kingdom and the United States still need us to contain China’s military power.
Let’s see if we can challenge China in the fields of swordsmanship and Go, which will also strengthen the cohesion of our country. If this continues, the confidence of the people in our country will collapse. This is a very serious problem. We
We can also invite Western countries to comprehensively suppress China in boxing. In terms of swordsmanship, our Empire of Japan is still much better than the Chinese. The same goes for our country's Go. We have not met an opponent in the past few years. The Emperor said, don't
We should underestimate the Chinese people. After all, they have a history of five thousand years. We still cannot be careless about this.
At this time, Japanese Prime Minister Koki Hirota was born in Fukuoka, Kyushu in 1878. In his early years, he met Mitsuru Toyama, known as the "grandfather of the right-wing movement", and former Foreign Minister Soejima Tanedomi, and was deeply influenced by their expansionist ideas. In 1901
, Hirota Koki entered the Faculty of Law of Tokyo Imperial University. In 1906, he entered the diplomatic community. In 1913, he served as the head of the first section of the Bureau of Commerce and Industry of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1915, Japan proposed the "Twenty-One" to the Beijing government that seriously violated China's sovereignty.
, Hirota was one of the drafters of this aggressive document. Since then, Hirota has served as the director of the second section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Intelligence Department, deputy director of the Intelligence Department, director of the European and American Bureau, minister to the Netherlands, and ambassador to the Soviet Union.
After outstanding performance in university, he graduated in 1905. Hirota Koki took the consulate examination, hoping to pass the examination and become an official diplomat. However, before this examination, perhaps because of his previous success, he did not put much effort into it, and he encountered difficulties.
The failure of "failed" was a major setback in his life. From then on, he warned himself not to take anything lightly, even if it was extremely sure. After "failed", he studied for a period of time at a Japanese university.
Japan's foreign colonial policy. Later, on the recommendation of his fellow countryman Tsurugahara Sadaikichi, who was the general administrator of the Korean Unification Supervisory Office at the time, he was hired by the Unification Supervisory Office to work in North Korea. In 1906, Hirota Koki was hired by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a candidate diplomat
The following year, he was sent to work at the Japanese Embassy in China, which was the beginning of his real diplomatic career. In 1909, he was transferred to the Japanese Embassy in the United Kingdom. During this period, Japan and Britain adjusted the alliance treaty and signed the "Japanese Embassy".
Treaty of Commerce with Britain. In 1913, he was transferred back to China and served as secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce and head of the first section of the Bureau of Commerce. In 1919, he went abroad again to work at the Japanese Embassy in the United States. From then on, Hirota Koki's career emerged
He was promoted step by step and successively served as Deputy Minister of the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Director of the European and American Bureau, and Ambassador of Japan to the Netherlands. In 1929, he attended the 10th League of Nations Congress as an imperial representative. In 1930, he was appointed Ambassador to the Soviet Union. This kind of work experience
This laid the foundation for him to take charge of Japan's diplomatic power in the future and plan and promote Japan's invasion of China.
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the huge impact of the world economic crisis dealt a huge blow to the Japanese economy, which was very dependent on the world market. The economic collapse triggered sharp social conflicts and political crises. In 1932, Inukai Takeshi's political party alliance cabinet
It collapsed due to the May 15th Incident launched by fascist soldiers, and Inukai Takeshi himself was assassinated in the coup. Admiral Saito Minoru formed a new cabinet. This cabinet adopted a compromising attitude towards the arrogance of the military ministry, hoping that the military ministry could "respect
"Cabinet, forming a situation of "nation-wide unity". At this time, Japan was moving step by step towards the fascist path of external aggression and expansion, and its military strength continued to expand. At this time, Hirota Koki replaced Yasuya Uchida as the foreign minister of the new cabinet.
Northeast China became a colony of Japan after the September 18th Incident. After Japan supported the puppet emperor Puyi to establish the so-called "Manchukuo", it began to extend its aggressive hand to North China. Japan's aggression aroused resistance from the entire Chinese people.
Hirota Koki became the new foreign minister under this background. Hirota Koki actually actively advocated aggression against China, but at the same time, he was a senior diplomat who was well versed in diplomacy. Therefore, Hirota Koki did his best to serve the fascists.
The aggressors made plans and used clever diplomatic means to resist the Chinese people to achieve the ultimate goal of aggression. Former Foreign Minister Uchida Yasuya pursued a policy of "scorched earth diplomacy", which allowed the Japanese government to officially recognize "Manchukuo" and withdraw from the League of Nations, gaining
Accomplishment of short-term goals. When Hirota Koki took office, he promised as an envoy of peace that “there will be no war during my term as foreign minister.” He also announced the implementation of “Concord Diplomacy.” He did not do this out of necessity.
The good intention of peace is to safeguard the vested rights of aggression in China, consolidate the "results of war", and at the same time gain the understanding of the international community and change Japan's international isolation.
At the "Five Prime Ministers Conference" held in October 1933, Hirota Koki launched the main measures of "Concord Diplomacy". He advocated strengthening relations with the "Manchukuo" regime, and at the same time stated that Japan would be committed to improving relations with major countries.
friendly relations, especially the relations with China, the Soviet Union and the United States that were soured by the September 18th Incident. Hirota Koki declared that "in international relations, world peace should be the purpose and China's policies should be implemented through diplomatic means."
".His ideas were adopted and formed a document to guide diplomatic strategies. Under the guise of "Concord Diplomacy", Hirota negotiated with the Chinese National Government and achieved the opening of traffic between China and "Manchukuo". China and Japan
The legation was also upgraded to an embassy. However, this did not change the essence of Japan's aggressive diplomacy, it only made the aggression more covert.
In October 1935, Hirota proposed three principles for Sino-Japanese relations: 1. China should completely ban anti-Japanese activities, abandon its reliance on Europe and the United States, and adopt a pro-Japanese policy; 2. China should formally recognize "Manchukuo" and realize the
Economic cooperation between Japan and Manchuria in North China; 3. China, Japan and Manchuria should cooperate on the issue of preventing communism. The "Three Hirota Principles" actually want to place China under Japan's military, political and economic control.
The essence of the "Three Hirota Principles" is to require China to stop anti-Japanese activities, accept "support" from Japan's aggression, recognize Japan's rights and interests in North China, and finally recognize the "legitimacy" of the existence of "Manchukuo". October 21, 1935
, Jiang Zuobin handed over China’s opinions to Foreign Minister Hirota. The main contents were: (1) China has no intention of using foreigners to control foreigners. From now on, in order to realize the good relations between the two countries, China will not exclude or hinder Japan in its relations with other countries.
(2) No inter-governmental negotiations can be conducted on Manchuria, but regarding the current situation of the place, we will never stir up trouble through other than peaceful means, and will consider ways to maintain economic ties between people inside and outside the territory. (3) China's statement on preventing redness
We have made our best efforts and there is no need to worry about the red disaster. Regarding the issue of how to prevent red disaster in the northern border areas, if Japan fully implements the three principles previously proposed by China, China will negotiate without compromising the principles of China's sovereignty and independence.
Effective methods related to this.
Under Japan's dual military and diplomatic coercion, the Chairman adopted a policy of compromise and surrender based on the "overall situation" of "reconciling foreign aggression with domestic peace first". At the end of November, the Chairman stated to Japan's Ambassador to China Ariyoshiaki: "
I completely agree with the above three principles. "And on December 18, 1935, the "Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee" was organized and established to respond to Japan's request for "specialization of the regime in North China." This committee can independently handle Hebei, Shanxi, and Cha
All government affairs in Harbin and Pingjin were essentially a semi-puppet government agency, through which the Japanese government achieved its goal of invading North China.
However, the "Three Guangtian Principles" were regarded as a joke to Wang Yizhe in Shanghai and Heilongjiang. Tang Juwu simply ignored the Japanese requests and turned a blind eye to the Japanese requests, which was to tightly control Heilongjiang.
Fully support the actions of the Anti-Japanese League. When the Anti-Japanese League encountered difficulties, they retreated to Heilongjiang. At this time, the Japanese government had absolutely nothing to do with Tang Juwu.
At this time, the whole country of Japan was in a state of anger. In the end, Hirota Koki was using private power to attack China's resistance.
The next day, all the newspapers in Japan showed that the Japanese swordsman Beichen Ittoryu Michio Hideda was going to challenge the Chinese master. Tang Juwu and Shanghai's Hongkou District were silent for two days. At this time, Jiang Qiang and Tang Juwu
We are also discussing how to deal with the challenge of Japan. At this time, Jiang Qiang said that our current goal is to deal with the Olympic Games in Germany. Then we have time to deal with these clowns. In this way, we will hold a world swordsmanship and Go competition next year and invite people from all over the world.
Masters came to Shanghai to participate in the 1937 World Swordsmanship Competition, and invited swordsmanship masters from all over the world to formulate the competition specifications. This invisibly resolved Japan's unreasonable demands, and we could also invite martial arts colleagues from all over the country to Shanghai.
Come on, let's settle it like this, so that our stadium can also make money, which is good, and then our China's status in the world will be improved.
The next day, all newspapers in Shanghai published Tang Juwu's speech on the front page, stating that the competition between China and Japan was too narrow. Shanghai Hongkou District will hold a world swordsmanship competition in March 1937, and invite world masters to attend.
Shanghai came to set the competition specifications, and all expenses were borne by Shanghai Hongkou District. They also invited martial arts colleagues from all over the country to Shanghai for exchanges. Shanghai Hongkou District was responsible for all expenses. At this time, the Emperor of Japan was also stupid.
Look, they are going to hold a world-wide swordsmanship competition. At this time, Japan also has a large number of samurai who want to go to Shanghai to participate in the world-wide swordsmanship competition. Countries around the world also responded, supporting the decision of Shanghai Hongkou District.
.
At this time, the chairman of the committee was also furious in Nanjing, saying that Tang Juwu had no respect for himself as the committee chairman by setting up Niang Xipi, and would not communicate with the Nanjing government about anything, making it difficult for the Nanjing government to respond to reporters' questions.
At this time, Taoist Master Qingxi of Wudang in Hubei called his most proud disciples and said, "You will go to Shanghai tomorrow to report. Your senior brother Songbai will still lead the team. You must win glory for our Chinese martial arts community."
, this competition is worldwide. You must pay attention to your words and deeds when you go to Shanghai. When you go to Shanghai, you represent the whole of China, not our Wudang. Songbai, you have to take care of several senior brothers.
Li Yunxin, Li Yunlong, and Li Yunfei from Yanzimen in Shandong are all packing their things to go to Shanghai, as well as Baguazhang from Tianjin, Hongquan from Shaanxi, and other martial arts disciples from all over the country are also on their way to Shanghai.
Tang Juwu came to his base camp again today and was working with Jiang Qiang to figure out how to deal with the current situation. Jiang Qiang said that people in Jianghu talked about loyalty, so they were arranged to go to the stadium, and a special area was designated.
Let them live in the community, and a company of my special forces is selected among these people. They are much better as special forces than the people we train. Those old martial artists must respect them, they are our country's
baby.
This time I will take a look at the situation in Afghanistan. I will transfer Wang Yaqiao back and transfer Ye Qi to Afghanistan to be the chief of police in Afghanistan. I will look at the police station and pick one of the people below to replace Ye Qi. You go and talk to Ye Qi.
Let’s talk about it carefully, it still depends on his own wishes. When I have time, I will go to Afghanistan to see the situation there. Also, the current spy work cannot be relaxed. Those agents give us surprises from time to time.
This is not possible, and Guo Xiaoliu also asked him to be more careful. It is better to produce the rocket launchers here in Shanghai. Our quantity is enough now, but the technology cannot be leaked. The lethality of this weapon is still
It's too big to ask little Japan to get our technology.
In two months, I will go to Germany with the Olympic delegation. The most important thing is to see how Germany is preparing. It seems that the Japanese started the war first. The Japanese Prime Minister at this time is a war madman. We
The army must also pay close attention to training during this period. If the war breaks out across the country, the chairman of the committee will classify us into that war zone. Don’t underestimate the chairman. When he comes, he will give us a clear code. We will not be obedient, but we will.
I have taken good care of the Sichuan Army. As long as the Japanese cannot occupy Guangdong, it will be fine as long as the Japanese do not have plans for Shanghai. I am not afraid of the others. Next year we will start deploying missiles in Shanghai. This will also give the Japanese a disincentive.
If so, we will take Taiwan and see how the Japanese cope.
Tang Juwu asked, "Should we increase the number of troops to defend against the Soviet Union?" Jiang Qiang said, "The Soviet Union cannot protect itself, so how can it care about us? Do you think Germany will let the Soviet Union go? That's impossible. When the time comes,
Our goal is that the five Central Asian countries must be independent in order to meet our strategic goals. I am in Germany and we have to communicate every day to see the actual situation before making a decision.
