Chapter five hundred and twelfth battle to the death
Taro Kawaguchi's face turned from red to blue, and then from green to black, as black as the bottom of a pot. The conditions put forward by Wu Tingfang were completely aimed at destroying Japan! Once Japan disarmed all its forces, what would happen?
Isn’t it just allowed to be ceded by China? As for ceding territory, Japan is already a small country with a large population and its land resources are scarce.
If there are two islands, Japan's land resources will be even more scarce. And the huge war reparations are even more expensive. Japan's annual fiscal revenue is only more than 400 million yen, converted into pounds, more than 40 million pounds
That’s it. China asked for a war reparation of one billion pounds. Japan would have to go without food and water for more than 20 years before it could pay back!
"Baga! These damn Chinese people just want to destroy the Japanese Empire!" If he had not paid attention to the occasion, Taro Kawaguchi would have cursed him long ago. It is impossible for the Japanese government to accept any of these conditions.
It seems that it is impossible for the cabinet to pay a price and end the war on the battlefield.
"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, these conditions are too harsh. The Japanese government will not accept such conditions!" Taro Kawaguchi suppressed the anger in his heart and said seriously.
"If this is the case, then I am very sorry. Since the war cannot be ended through negotiation, then we have to meet on the battlefield!" Wu Tingfang looked regretful. The Japanese did not accept such conditions, and they had already
It was expected. If you accept such conditions, it will be no different from the country's subjugation. Fortunately, China has never expected to solve Japan's problems through negotiations. The Chinese army has already been prepared. The Second Army has already arrived.
Now that we are in North Korea, we can land in Japan at any time.
Seeing Wu Tingfang's appearance, Taro Kawaguchi couldn't help but feel sad. With a big country like China as a neighboring country, there will undoubtedly be a fatal threat to a small country like Japan, which is a small country with ambitions. Japan will work hard.
It has taken decades, but in the end, it will still reach the point of subjugation. This is probably the tragedy of Japan!
"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, although Japan is now at a disadvantage, we are not afraid of war! The Japanese Army has armed millions of troops. As long as the Chinese ** team dares to land in Japan, you will definitely make you pay a heavy price!"
Taro Kawaguchi gritted his teeth and said.
"With an army of millions, without even weapons, and without enough food to eat, does Mr. Kawaguchi think we will be afraid? Since we cannot reach an agreement through negotiations, then let's call it a day! However, I would like to advise you.
In a word, we will obtain things that cannot be obtained through negotiation, and we will obtain them through war. And we will obtain more!" Wu Tingfang said coldly.
"Japan will never surrender. Farewell!" Taro Kawaguchi stood up, gave Wu Tingfang another ninety-degree bow, and left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with an angry look on his face.
"Hmph! You are so stubborn! It's too late to ask for peace now. Your Majesty has said that there can only be one powerful country in the Far East. Japan, a small country, also wants to compete with China. It is simply overestimating its capabilities!" Wu Tingfang said disdainfully.
Said. The Chinese have always looked down upon Japan. Even during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties,
After being defeated by the Western powers, the Chinese also had a sense of superiority towards the Japanese. But later, in the early Sino-Japanese War, Japan defeated the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which made countless people angry and shocked. Fortunately, with the rise of Western Sichuan,
Defeating Japan once again prevented China from sinking like that.
"Come here, prepare a car and go to the palace!" After Taro Kawaguchi left, Wu Tingfang did not stay at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but went to the palace to meet Wang Yuze. Taro Kawaguchi was already angry and the Japanese should be worried now. So,
Next, we can only use war to deal with Japan.
"Your Majesty, the Japanese envoy rejected our conditions." Wu Tingfang said to Wang Yuze.
"It's okay, this is completely expected!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. Japan would obviously not agree to such harsh conditions.
"But what if Japan is determined to fight us to the end? With Japan's population, if they let their hands go, they can arm millions of troops. If Japan is to be destroyed by then, our own losses will probably be too much.
Not small!" Wu Tingfang said with some worry.
"Don't worry! Although Japan has a large population, it can recruit more troops. But now Japan has been completely blocked by us, and its industrial base has been basically destroyed. How will they arm these millions of troops? Furthermore,
There is also a big gap in Japan's food supply. Food prices have been rising again and again.
Well, ordinary Japanese have long been forced to rely on wild vegetables for a living. In many places, people are starving to death. If this continues, it won’t be long before Japan’s war potential is exhausted. By the time we
When we land in Japan, Japan's resistance will not be so fierce!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.
"So, when will we land in Japan and completely solve the Japanese threat?" Wu Tingfang asked.
"The General Staff has also made a plan. The initial plan is to defeat the United States and Russia before landing in Japan. In this way, we will have enough troops. After all, Japan has a population of tens of millions, which is not a small number.
.However, before that, we will first
Capture an island and use it as an advance base. The longer it takes, the better it will be for us!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. The longer it takes, the more Japanese will die. In the end, China may be able to take it without any effort.
All over Japan.
Wu Tingfang nodded and said nothing more. He was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Naturally, the General Staff had the final say on military matters, and he had no right to interfere.
On the evening of June 30, Taro Kawaguchi sent the conditions proposed by Wu Tingfang back to Japan. Suddenly, the Japanese cabinet was angry again. The five-phase meeting chaired by Aritomo Yamagata still did not find a solution to the problem.
"Baga! Damn the Chinese people, do they really think they can destroy Japan? Japan's 40 million citizens will teach them a lesson! Your Excellency, Prime Minister, give the order! Arm the army with all your strength, we will fight with
The Chinese will fight to the death!" Prime Minister Katsura Taro shouted crazily. The Chinese actually want Japan to disband its army and navy. How could they agree to such conditions?
Shanxian Youpeng's face was as gloomy as if he could drip water. He had already expected that China would impose harsh conditions. However, he had to admit that he still did not expect that China would be so ruthless.
This is simply to swallow Japan completely!
"Everyone, since the Chinese have put forward conditions that are unacceptable to us, it seems that the path of negotiation is not feasible. Next, everyone should be prepared to fight the Chinese with all their strength!" Prime Minister Yamagata Yutomo
said.
"Don't worry, your Excellency, the Army is ready. Now, the Army has expanded to 120 divisions and 2 million people. As long as the Chinese dare to land in Japan, we will definitely give them a head-on blow!" Lu Lu
Xianggui Taro said boldly.
However, the faces of the other people are not so good-looking. Obviously, they are not very new to the strength of the Japanese Army. Although the Japanese Army has expanded to two million, except for the initial one million, the following
The expanded troops do not even have rifles. They are trained with bamboo knives and spears. It is simply wishful thinking to expect such troops to resist the Chinese!
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the conditions offered by the Chinese to the Americans are said to be very harsh. The United States has not agreed. Now, the diplomatic officials from the four countries of Britain, France, the United States and Russia are on their way to China. I think we can
Let's work hard on this. If the four countries can reach an agreement on this, we may be able to put pressure on the Chinese people," said Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki.
"Hmph! Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, do you think the current Chinese people are afraid of those Westerners? Almost all the navies of various countries have been lost. The Russians were also beaten back in Siberia. The Chinese have already gained the upper hand. They
How can we be subject to these pressures?" Lu Xiang Keitaro said disdainfully.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I think we can give it a try. Although the Chinese have gained a decisive advantage on the battlefield, their reputation in the world is not very good. Besides, Britain and France, in addition to their larger naval losses, their national strength
They have not been greatly affected. If they want to continue the war, whether they fully support Russia or directly send troops from Russia to join the battlefield, this will be very beneficial to Japan!" Prince Arisugawa Miyahito, Minister of Naval Command
said.
"I also agree that we can work harder on diplomacy!" Tibetan Prime Minister Masayoshi Matsukata also said. At this point in the war, Japan's treasury has been empty. The army is expanding its troops crazily and demanding military expenditures, which has also made Matsukata Masayoshi miserable.
Word.
"Okay, if that's the case. Then Aoki-dono, please prepare and go to China!" Prime Minister Yamagata Aritomo thought for a moment and then said. This is not a big loss for Japan.
"Your Excellency Katsura Taro, the Army must be prepared. The Chinese have deployed a group army in North Korea. The Army must be prepared to resist the Chinese in the southwest!" Yamagata Aritomo warned.
"Prime Minister, please rest assured that the twenty most elite divisions of the Army have been deployed to Kyushu Island and southern Honshu! If the Chinese people dare to land, we will definitely be able to drive them into the sea to feed the fish!" Prime Minister Katsura Taro patted his chest.
Guaranteed.
Yamagata Aritomo nodded, glanced at everyone, and then said: "His Excellency Saigo, the Minister of the Interior, has conveyed the Emperor's decree to convene an imperial meeting tomorrow morning to discuss national policies. Everyone, go back and get ready!" (To be continued.
