Hirohito himself is not weak in ability. He is familiar with Western history and is also a biologist. From the moment he ascended the throne, Hirohito wanted to get rid of the cowardly image of his father in the Taisho era and imitate Emperor Meiji to restore Japan's prestige. How to expand
Hirohito also has his own ideas on the issue of sphere of influence. He believes that the Japanese do not like the cold. For example, the island of Hokkaido is still sparsely populated. Although Japan has conquered North Korea in recent years, its immigration has been very limited.
Originally, Japan's most ideal direction of aggression was China. It was Hirohito's original dream to capture the land south of the Yangtze River that was often praised in poetry. However, with the rise of China, this idea became increasingly unrealistic. Hirohito turned his attention to
The power has begun to shift to Nanyang, where the land is fertile, the climate is warm, and the indigenous people everywhere are lazy and cowardly, and they are not worthy of having such good land.
As for Britain and the United States and other countries, although they are powerful, Japan still occupies geographical advantages. It is more promising to occupy these areas. Of course, it is best to solve the problem of the Chinese Navy before that. After all, Hirohito is also worried about Japan preparing to go south.
, China is behind the scenes. After all, the two countries have deep resentment, and no one trusts the other!
Unexpectedly, the action of provoking China not only failed to achieve the goal of annihilating the Chinese navy, but also tied up the Japanese family and almost lost his underwear. However, Hirohito still did not give up hope until now. He often died in the palace these days.
staring at the bust of Napoleon.
This is the only souvenir that Hirohito brought back from his travels in Europe. Hirohito also regarded Napoleon as his idol. A man should be like Napoleon, sweeping the world. These days, Hirohito seeks some kind of strength from this statue. Hirohito
I firmly believe that Japan can still make a comeback, but the only problem is to concentrate the power of the country on itself, expand its armaments as it did in the Meiji era, and work together as one.
In Hirohito's view, the main reason for defeating the two huge enemies of the Qing Dynasty and Russia in the Meiji era was the unity of the top management and the concentration of power. After entering the Taisho era, Japan's chaebols have shown serious independent tendencies, and the democrats
The power of the people is expanding crazily. The so-called democrats are just using the excuse of democratic elections to evade the power of the emperor. Moreover, these people are extremely selfish and have become worms in the empire.
At this time, Hirohito looked coldly at Iwasaki Koyata and the group and thought, "You two must know the current difficulties of the empire better than I do. Aren't you prepared to make some contribution to the empire?"
Tuan Zhuo was a cunning person and took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, the empire has unfortunately been defeated in the war. Every subject of the empire feels the same. Our Mitsui Group is willing to donate eight million US dollars to the government to solve the empire's difficulties!"
"Eight million? It's really a big number!" Hirohito turned his attention to Iwasaki Koyata. Although Hirohito seemed to be trying to keep his calm, his left hand was clenched tightly and the joints were completely white.
, as the Emperor of Japan, he is not a beggar who wants a small amount of money, just eight million, Mitsui is treating himself like a child!
"What's Mitsubishi's attitude?" Hirohito's crane sound reached Iwasaki Koyata's ears, but it was no less than a thunderous sound. It sounded eerie and terrifying. Although Mitsubishi's power is huge, the emperor is a god in Japan.
, how can humans compare with God!
Iwasaki Koyata didn't say anything, but a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead. He really felt Hirohito's anger, but at this time he was unwilling to back down, so he could only play dumb along with Dan Takuma.
"Mitsubishi's finances are better, and we are willing to donate 10 million!"
When Hirohito heard this, he couldn't contain the anger in his heart. He knew very well that these people had known the conditions proposed by China for a long time, and now they dared to deal with him and spend millions just to get rid of him.
, it’s simply wishful thinking.
Hirohito suddenly stood up and his voice became sharper: "You two, the Chinese have put forward conditions and hope to use your assets in China to offset the empire's war reparations. What do you think?"
Hirohito took an overview of the matter, and Tuan Zaomao could not pretend to be stupid, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, it is reasonable to say that it is our duty to be loyal to the empire, but our wealth is private property and is private throughout the world.
Except for the Red Empire and the Soviet Union, all countries respect private property. If the empire breaks this rule, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the great powers. Maybe the great powers will also withdraw their investment in the empire on a large scale. The impact will be immeasurable. Your Majesty
, this kind of evil example must not be allowed, otherwise the empire will be the target of public criticism!"
Great powers! He actually threatened himself with the great powers. Hirohito's face turned red and the joints of his fingers kept crackling.
"Tan Takuma-kun, the development of the Mitsui Zaibatsu to what it is today is all the result of the support of the empire. Why do you have huge assets in China? That's because the navy and army soldiers of the empire opened the country of China with their own lives and gained access to China.
Qualifications for investment in China, if there is no empire, you are no different from ordinary grocery merchants, still struggling with the untouchables at the bottom. Now that the empire is in trouble, aren't you willing to make sacrifices? When the empire becomes stronger, you
Your efforts will still be rewarded. If the empire sinks, you will also be shattered into pieces, and you will never be able to stand out again!"
Hirohito's words were very serious, and Iwasaki Koyata could no longer bear it at this time. He felt that his legs were weak, his body was sweating, and he was about to fall. However, Dan Takuma was relatively calm, and he did not put this young emperor at risk.
Looking in his eyes, he also knew very well in his heart how much Mitsui's property in China was, and he would never let it go.
"Your Majesty, although we have some assets in China, under the attack of the Chinese government, there are not many left. There is simply not enough to compensate the Chinese people for their losses. I think this is a conspiracy played by the Chinese people, which is to make the empire enmity with Europe and the United States.
The power of the consortium will then completely plunge the empire into an abyss of eternal destruction. The empire must not be led by the nose by the Chinese!"
After Hirohito heard what Tuan Takuma said, the anger in his heart went straight to the top. The empire could not be led by the China people, and the empire could not be led by the chaebols. Hirohito no longer wanted to talk to him, but just waved his hand to let them
Get back.
Dan Takuma and Iwasaki Koyata left Nijubashi Palace together. Iwasaki Koyata obviously did not have such a good mental quality as Dan Takuma and was already a little broken at this time.
"Tan Takuma-kun, the other party is the Emperor after all. Should we take a step back? Otherwise it will not end well for everyone!"
"Iwasaki-kun, are you willing to hand over all that wealth? It's hundreds of millions of assets. Moreover, China's economy is developing very fast, and the value of minerals is appreciating at an alarming rate. The fat that has been swallowed has to be vomited out.
, this is not Mitsubishi’s style!”
"Although the words are good, the Chinese people have already set their sights on this wealth this time. Even if we don't hand it over, the Chinese people will take action on their own and they won't be able to keep it sooner or later. Why offend the emperor for this!"
"Iwasaki-kun, so what if the Chinese are targeting us? Can't we even deal with this? As long as we wait until the war is over, we will use various connections to get rid of all the wealth without anyone noticing, and then transfer it to
When you go to European and American countries, you must know that these countries are paradises for the rich and will do everything possible to protect their property. With our financial resources, we are always the best wherever we go. As for what the emperor can do to us, the president of the United States has also suffered.
How many assassinations were carried out?"
After Tuan Takumo said these treasonous words, Iwasaki Koyata was also shocked at the time. What he saw in front of him was too crazy, and he dared to attack the emperor. However, these words sounded very exciting. In fact, Mitsui and Mitsubishi
The huge chaebols have long been dissatisfied with the Japanese system.
In particular, the emperor's supreme authority is a huge restriction on the ambitious chaebols. You must know that in European and American countries, financial groups can manipulate elections and control national power, but Japan has an extremely sacred emperor, and
A group of crazy warlords, it can be said that Japan's current national system has seriously affected the chaebols in realizing their demands.
It might be a good choice to attack the emperor. They were planning here, and Hirohito was not idle. After he kicked out the two Danzhuma, he found his most confidant, Prince Takamatsu, and asked him to invite Tanaka Yoshi.
1, and told Giichi Tanaka about Mitsui and other consortiums shorting the yen. Hirohito's intention was already very clear, and he wanted to have a showdown with these conglomerates.
Storms and waves are brewing in the Japanese political arena, and the Chinese ** Corps is marching towards Taipei with head high at this time. At this time, Japan has withdrawn all its main forces to the vicinity of Taipei. The Chinese ** Corps can go all the way unimpeded, with the majestic National Defense Forces on the way.
It also opened the eyes of Taiwanese people.
There are planes in the sky, armored vehicles on the ground rumbling loudly, and an astonishing number of cannons thicker than a human waist. These real forces are the most convincing. The strength of the motherland has left a mark in the hearts of all Taiwanese people.
An indelible impression, and Guo Guoji’s mission is to convey the strength of the motherland to every Taiwanese.
During this period of Japanese rule, the ordinary people were deprived, and only a small part of them benefited. Guo Guoji's main way to calm people's hearts was to direct their grievances and dissatisfaction to those who benefited. Of course,
The Japanese expatriates even confiscated all their wealth within the scope of the attack, and then distributed it to ordinary people. The most important thing for Taiwanese people is these tangible benefits, and everything else is secondary.
When the ancestors came, they gained benefits and naturally wanted to support the motherland. In fact, the reason for this is very simple, but if you want to attack those powerful groups, you need strong execution, not any
All governments can do this.
The armies of Liu Xiang and Deng Xihou soon arrived at Taipei's outer positions. The Japanese had already built a complete defensive position. Governor Ueyama Manzhijin wanted to let the Chinese army let him go, as long as he and his subordinates could be saved.
He handed over Taiwan to his wealth, but Liu Xiang didn't respond. Instead, he directly attacked Taipei, so he had to fight!
The battle to attack Taipei started soon. The Chinese Air Force still acted as the vanguard. The Japanese troops in Taiwan had no combat aircraft at all. The Chinese Air Force was able to use it at will. A large number of bombs were dropped on the heads of the Japanese, and the violent explosions shook the world.
, and in an instant the Japanese positions were filled with smoke.
A large number of Japanese soldiers were killed by bombs. For a time, their mutilated limbs were scattered all over the ground, and the smell of blood stung their nostrils. However, the Japanese could no longer care about it at this time. All they thought about was when this war would end!
