It is not easy to isolate the Japanese, but it is not difficult either.
As the saying goes, the relationship between countries is a struggle for interests.
The reason why the British were able to form an alliance with Japan was because at the end of the last century, the British were worried about the spread of Russian power in the Qing Empire at that time, so the British chose to form an alliance with the Japanese in an attempt to use the strength of the Japanese to contain the Russians.
Now times have changed, the Russian Empire no longer exists, the Qing Empire does not exist, and the basis for the alliance between the British and the Japanese no longer exists.
In addition, during the World War, the Japanese took advantage of the great powers' lack of time to look eastward to seize most of their interests in China and occupied almost all the markets of the Republic of China. Therefore, the British were actually very dissatisfied with the Japanese, so the relationship between Britain and Japan
The alliance between Japan and China is already on the verge of breaking up. Perhaps all it takes is an opportunity for the Anglo-Japanese alliance to cease to exist.
And just when the British were dissatisfied with the Japanese, the Japanese mentality also changed.
The impact of the First World War was far more than just economic decline and social chaos on the surface. It also made the Japanese see clearly the essence of the decline of the European powers, especially the British and French.
To put it simply, the Japanese now look down on the European powers. Japan does not think that the European powers are very powerful, at least not as powerful as they seem.
The Japanese believe that their wings are about to be full and it is time to soar into the sky.
Think about it, just one Germany makes Britain and France so embarrassed. If the Germans also have a strong ally
So it is not difficult to understand why the Japanese wanted to form the Axis Alliance with the Germans 20 years later.
In this time and space, the emergence of Qin Zhiyuan and Lan Fang posed a great threat to Japan. This made the Japanese dissatisfied with Britain and France reach the extreme.
The country of Lanfang has a strong British and French influence, especially France.
Lanfang is a country single-handedly supported by France, and looking at the location of Lanfang, it is difficult for Japanese people who are good at divergent thinking not to think about something.
As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. If you look at the world with a straight eye, then everything in this world has its own destiny. If you look at the world with a sideways eye, then the world is full of conspiracies.
The Japanese now suspect that the world is full of conspiracies, and conspiracies against Japan.
Well, this is considered persecution paranoia.
It's not a delusion, because Qin Zhiyuan is adding fuel to the fire now.
There is also a skill in adding fuel to the fire. At least you can't involve yourself in it, so the turmoil started in London, England.
I still remember that during the World War, there was a time when the media in London collectively revealed all kinds of dark history of the Japanese. At that time, the citizens of London were very excited and asked the British government to cut off relations with Japan, a despicable country, and to contact the Japanese.
Alliance Contract.
It was during the war, and the British government used executive orders to forcibly suppress the disturbance.
The matter did not end there. Just in August, the London media, like a chicken blood, once again opened up the dark history of the Japanese, and this time it was more thorough and more powerful.
In fact, every country in this world is not clean. If you really talk about it carefully, there are one or two dark histories. Even Lanfang, which was just founded, had some actions against the indigenous people at the beginning of its establishment that were disgraceful.
.
But no one pays attention to this. Everyone's attention is focused on the island country of Japan.
The city of London is still the economic center of the world at present, and the media industry is therefore very developed. From the politically biased Times to the gossip-focused Sun, everything is available, so it is comprehensive to uncover Japan's dark history.
Of course, there is always some evidence to uncover dark history, so all stories start with a photo, which is the famous Frobeck photo.
In this photo, there are more than forty people in total, including ministers, businessmen, teachers, samurai, ministers and other professions, and all of these people are great contributors to overthrowing the shogunate and making great contributions to the Meiji Restoration.
Look at these names, Ito Hirobumi, Mutsu Munemitsu Saigo, Takamori Kubo, Toshimichi Omuro, Tonosuke
They are all famous Japanese ministers, and the only one who is unfamiliar may be Omuro Tonosuke.
But Tonosuke Omuro plays a very important role here, because the Sun's front page headline published their conclusion: the previous Emperor Meiji was not the original Emperor Meiji at all, and the emperor had long been replaced by someone else, and
The replacement is Oshi Yinzhiyou.
As soon as this news was published, it immediately caused an uproar.
If Emperor Meiji is replaced, it means that the bloodline of the current Japanese emperor has been confused, and the current emperor Taisho is not qualified to ascend the throne at all.
This is a big event
The Japanese ambassador to the UK immediately contacted the British government and asked the British government to intervene administratively and order the Sun to immediately stop slandering Japan.
But it’s not that the slander is unimportant. What’s important is that the news has spread rapidly.
The next day, the French newspaper Le Figaro, the American New York Daily News, the Lanfang Daily News and other newspapers with a certain degree of influence reprinted the matter one after another.
Especially the Mainichi Shimbun, the European branch and the Asian branch of the Mainichi Shimbun reprinted the news at the same time and promoted the newspaper of the day for free.
At the same time, there were also the Port Arthur Massacre caused by Japan during the Russo-Japanese War, and at the beginning of Japan's Meiji Restoration, in order to increase income, the government organized Japanese women to go to Southeast Asia to meet the physiological needs of singles, etc.
So almost instantly, Japan became synonymous with counterfeiters internationally.
Think about it, they even fake the emperor, what else is real?
The London government seemed to be slow to react to this, and it took a full week before the London government began to intervene administratively. At this time, after a week of fermentation, the rumors had intensified and spawned several versions.
The Japanese government became angry and openly announced that it was preparing to withdraw its ambassador to the United Kingdom in order to put pressure on the British government.
The British reacted quickly this time, and immediately announced that they would review their alliance with Japan in Congress.
examine
Although the proposals on this issue have not yet been released, everyone can predict the outcome.
Only then did Japan realize that something was wrong.
However, the Japanese have no time to take into account their relationship with the United Kingdom, because this has also caused serious social unrest in Japan.
Japan is an imperial country. In the early 20th century, the emperor was not only the spiritual leader of Japan, but also the de facto head of state of Japan.
Therefore, when the emperor's lineage is questioned, the turmoil in Japan can be imagined.
In fact, as early as when The Sun first broke the news, Japan implemented strict news controls, prohibiting all newspapers from publishing the matter and prohibiting everyone from discussing the matter.
It is a pity that the Japanese government does not understand the principle that it is better to block things than to block things.
The people are like this, and their rebellious psychology is very serious. If they are not allowed to do something, some people will want to do it. Moreover, people are always very interested in the gossip of those with higher status, even the Emperor of Japan.
Just look at the sales of The Sun.
What's more, there are still people who are deliberately going against the Japanese government and are trying to spread the news throughout Japan, which makes the Japanese government even more difficult to guard against.
The speed at which this news spread was astonishing. Almost every Japanese who knew the news tried to get confirmation from others. Many people even rushed to the government door to ask the government about the authenticity of the news.
In fact, from the beginning, the Japanese government was confused in dealing with this incident. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, the Japanese government actually sent police to arrest those Japanese who spread the news, and sent troops to disperse those who gathered illegally.
So when it came to mid-August, the situation finally got out of control.
You must know that the status of the emperor in the hearts of the Japanese is similar to the status of the tsar in Russia before the fall of the Russian Empire. At that time, the Russians referred to the tsar as Tsar Dad.
So one can imagine how disappointed and desperate those who regard the Emperor as their spiritual support must be when they learn this news.
But at this time when Emperor Taisho's voice was most needed, Emperor Taisho himself did not express anything.
So the first one to bear the brunt was Kyoto. Many Kyoto citizens gathered in front of the emperor's palace. They asked the emperor to refute the rumors and asked the government to give them a reasonable explanation.
This time, Emperor Taisho himself still had no explanation.
As a result, the citizens who struggled to find the truth lost control of their emotions, and some citizens with more extreme ideas even committed suicide by caesarean section at the gate of the palace.
At this time, Emperor Taisho finally appeared, but it was a pity that Emperor Taisho did not appear in a friendly manner, but instead rode a tall horse with a arrogant expression.
When he saw the blood donation in the square in front of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Taisho suddenly lost control and rode his horse straight towards the crowd.
It's really jaw-dropping.
There is actually a reason for this.
Emperor Taisho was frail and sickly since he was a child. He suffered from meningitis and left sequelae. Not long ago, Emperor Taisho suffered from cerebral thrombosis and turned into mental illness. When the illness broke out, Emperor Taisho often performed some ridiculous behaviors in public.
For example, when watching a military exercise, Emperor Taisho would suddenly run down from the reviewing stand, open the soldiers' backpacks, and rummage through them.
Another time, when Emperor Taisho was attending the opening ceremony of the Diet, Emperor Taisho suddenly had a whim. While giggling, he rolled up his speech into a cylinder, put it over his eyes, and took pictures of it at the foreign envoys.
this
It should be considered an insult to the country.
It is precisely because of Emperor Taisho's abnormality that the Japanese government does not dare to allow Emperor Taisho to appear in front of the people, for fear that Emperor Taisho will suddenly lose control.
It's a pity that even if all the mechanisms are exhausted, this whole thing will inevitably end up in the end.
