Piaotian Literature In July, as two divisions of the Japanese army entered Tokyo to suppress them, the riots in Tokyo not only subsided, but intensified!
Rebellion and anarchy are spreading rapidly in Japan. Not only Tokyo, but also a large number of Japanese cities are involved in riots.
The Japanese government is besieged on all sides and is extremely passive. The only thing they have to do now is to put out the riots in Tokyo as soon as possible before they can free up their hands.
But this time the Tokyo riots are obviously not that easy to extinguish.
The army was also attacked, which gave Tokyo's martial law commander and commander of the 1st Division Shi Guangzhenchen a headache.
There are reports of casualties from the troops almost every day, even though their own troops have suppressed and arrested a large number of rioters.
Another thing that makes Shi Guangzhenchen irritated is that most of his first division are locals in Tokyo. They have many family members and friends in Tokyo.
This makes them completely unable to do their best when suppressing, and sometimes they even tend to be lenient.
But she can't blame them. Even if she shoots at her family and friends, she may not be able to do it.¨
"Let Tokyo become a huge battlefield"!
This bloody slogan inspired all the rioters.
Or to put it more preparedly, it is better to call them "insurgents".
The insurrectionists carried out the fiercest resistance with weapons distributed or seized from the enemy. They used familiar terrain and sympathizers among the army and police to carry out attacks in every place in Tokyo.
A tough, but heroic battle.
"The proletariat of all Japan unite"!
This slogan started by Katayama Qian also quickly spread in Tokyo and Japan with the slogan "Let Tokyo become a huge battlefield"¨
The political propagandists of the insurrectionists began to vigorously expose the darkness of criticizing the capitalists, vigorously lashed out at the capitalists' exploitation of workers, and exposed the suffering and history of blood and tears of the proletariat.
These political propaganda were very effective. He united as many Japanese workers and farmers as possible around the rebels.

On July 12, the "Japan Progressive Group Party" and the "Endeavor Society" convened the main uprising leaders in Tokyo to hold the famous "Tokyo 7.12 Meeting."
At the meeting, the leaders of the various factions passed an agreement to imitate the Soviet Bolsheviks and organize all the rebel teams in Tokyo into the "Japanese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army".
The "Japanese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army" was temporarily organized into one army and two divisions. Yamamoto Sukeyuki served as the commander-in-chief of the "Japanese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army", Katayama Akira served as the political commissar, and Suzuki Masahiro was the former enemy commander-in-chief and commander of the First Army, a former "revolutionary comrade"
The president of the association, Tsuneichi Miyamoto, served as the commander of the first division, and Matsuhiro Akino served as the commander of the second division. At the same time, Wang Yaqiao was hired as the general consultant.
The establishment of the "Japanese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army" meant that the Tokyo uprising began to have its own formal designation and troops.
Then·Sukeyuki Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the "Japanese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army", issued the first order of the headquarters. He asked all insurgents in Japan to unite around the Japanese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to suck blood from all evil enemies, the corrupt Japanese government.
The capitalists and big landowners launched the most ruthless attacks!
July 12th is the most memorable day in Japanese history.
A simple riot has developed into an armed struggle between classes!
The establishment of the "Japanese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army" also made the Japanese government smell a more serious crisis. Once the riots in Tokyo and Japan become organized and systematic, it will be a terrible disaster for the Japanese government.
At this time, Japan's Prime Minister Tomosaburo Kato was seriously ill, and he was powerless to deal with the uprising that spread across Tokyo and Japan.
As the one with the right to nominate the next prime minister, Saionji Komō came to visit him in person, and in a very tactful way, he consulted Kato Tomosaburo's opinion on the candidate for the next prime minister.
Kato Yusaburo understands exactly what this is for!
He drank the medicine and felt a little better: "I know I'm in trouble, and I'm afraid I won't survive this month. Lord Saionji... If I were to put him in front of you, I think I would recommend a pragmatic and moderate person.
But the current situation has dispelled this idea, so I would like to recommend former Prime Minister Yamamoto Gonbei."
"Really? Quan Bingwei?" Xiyuanji Gongwang fell into deep thought.
This is a character that gives Mr. Xiyuanji a headache.
Japan's third Katsura Taro Cabinet announced its general resignation during the constitutional protection movement that shouted the slogan of "maintaining the constitution and overthrowing the clans." One of the reasons for the collapse of Katsura Taro's cabinet was that Yamamoto Gonbei aggressively forced Katsura Taro to resign as soon as possible and visited him for this purpose.
He went to Saionji Temple to work. Yamamoto Gonbei suddenly became a political star, and his relationship with the Seiyokai was also deliberately exaggerated. After the Southwest War, the term "Navy and Army" was changed from "Army and Navy" to "Army and Navy".
He became half shorter and lived in the shadow of the army boss from then on. The navy only dared to be angry and dared not speak out. The navy performed well in the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars, and its popularity and status increased accordingly. The army also had a relationship with the navy.
Giving more and more face. Finally, the navy finally reached its peak:
In February 1913, Admiral Gonbei Yamamoto became prime minister.
This is not a trivial matter. The Army may no longer care about the Prime Minister. Because that thing seems to be "permanent" in the Army, Yamagata has friends, and Katsura Taro has been the Prime Minister. But for the Navy, this is the first time in history. The Prime Minister of the sea
It was Saito Minoru, who was in charge of logistics during the Russo-Japanese War, the deputy commander was Yamamoto's son-in-law, Takabu Hiashi, the chief of the Naval Command Department was Ijuin Goro, and the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet was Kato Yusaburo. This is the strongest lineup of the Japanese Navy. The navy is considered
It's a mess.
For almost forty years starting in 1905 after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, there has always been a lingering ghost lingering in the Japanese Navy, that is, the ghost of the Eighth-Eight Fleet. The idea of the Eighty-Eight Fleet was Yamamoto Gonhei
Wei brought it up.
It was created to confront the Army and ask for money for the Navy. The first Yamamoto Gonbei Cabinet coincided with Japan's economic downturn, but at this time, something happened to the Yamamoto Gonbei Cabinet.
One day in November 1913, Victor.
Hermann's ambassador to the German Embassy Alexander.
Accompanied by Hill, he came to the Navy Ministry to say hello, saying that someone from Siemens had stolen company documents and fled to the UK, and was now extorting 500,000 marks from Siemens. The Japanese were a little confused.
If a German company loses a thief, what does Japan care about? If you want to ask Japanese detectives to help catch the thief, you should ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not the Navy.
Seeing that the Japanese couldn't understand, the Germans said directly: "Maybe the incident cannot be covered up. Once this incident is made public, I am afraid that the names of several senior officers of the Japanese Navy will be published in the newspapers in Europe, so I came to say hello. It's better for you early."
It’s better to be prepared.”
It turned out that among the stolen documents was a telegram in which Siemens agreed to give a 25% rebate to Rear Admiral Tatsuto Iwasaki, the former head of the Navy Ministry's first department responsible for weapons procurement. The Navy knew as soon as it heard that something was wrong, and at that time
It was a tense moment for the Eighth Eighth Fleet plan. I thought that with Admiral Gonbei Yamamoto becoming Prime Minister, it would be easier for the Navy to raise money. Who knew that such a thing would happen, so I quickly established a committee with Admiral Shigehiro Deha.
A long committee of inquiry came to investigate the matter.
The result of the investigation was that someone did take money in Germany, and the Germans only did the interior work of the cruiser battleship King Kong ordered by the Japanese in the UK. The British who did the real work also gave the Japanese money, and
Even more was given. Matsumoto and Lieutenant General, the former head of the Naval Administration Headquarters alone, took 400,000 yen from the British.
As soon as this document was published in the newspapers in Japan, there was an earthquake. The Congress was in chaos, and the media was hyping up: "When I think of the Navy, I think of Yamamoto Gonbei, and when I think of Yamamoto, I think of kickbacks." Angry people flocked to the Congress and
In the Navy Ministry, four thousand police officers were unable to maintain order. As a result, the Army dispatched a brigade from the Third Regiment to help maintain order and the situation was calmed down. As a result, Yamamoto Gonbei, who had just assumed the throne of Prime Minister, took his
The cabinet resigned en masse in April.
The little glory the navy had just had is gone again.
However, Yamamoto Gonbei still made great contributions to the Japanese Navy.
The Navy has slowly climbed from being the second-largest brother in ten thousand years to being almost on an equal footing with the big brother of the Army. In addition to having a chief of staff who is nominally the "Emperor's Chief of Staff," the Army has nothing better than the Navy. This is very
To a large extent, this is all due to Yamamoto Gonbei.
The navy's reputation and beautiful military uniforms are what young people yearn for. Coupled with men's innate longing for machinery, the rustic army begins to fear that it will not be able to recruit people!
It is true that since the end of the Russo-Japanese War, among the three schools: First High School, Army Academy and Navy Academy, the Navy has become the most difficult school to pass. The psychological imbalance in the Army is definitely
But the Army's dissatisfaction with the Navy does not stop there. The most important reason is the several reform measures adopted by Yamamoto Gonbei after he came to power that violated the interests of the military and political elites.
And now Kato Yusaburo has proposed Yamamoto Gonbei, a man who once fell in embarrassment and had serious conflicts with the Japanese Army, as his successor. This really puts Saionji Konobu in a bit of a dilemma, who holds the power to decide Japan's prime minister.
"We can no longer hesitate, Lord Saionji." Kato Yusaburo gasped: "The current situation can only be stabilized by his intervention. As for the conflict between him and the army, I must ask you to mediate it.
.”
The Duke of Xiyuan Temple pondered there for a long time, and then slowly nodded: "Okay, since you value Quan Bingwei so much, then let him give it a try!"
