The conflict between Qin Zhiyuan and the Japanese has been going on for a long time.
As early as the establishment of the Foreign Legion, the Japanese regarded the Foreign Legion as a serious problem and sent troops to Europe in an attempt to replicate the glory of the Foreign Legion.
But unexpectedly, due to a strange combination of circumstances, all the troops sent by the Japanese were wiped out, which paved the way for the intensification of the conflict between Lanfang and Japan.
After the end of the World War, it was precisely because of the Japanese's evil hands that Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion became homeless. This made the entire Foreign Legion hate the Japanese, and led to the subsequent outbreak of the Mediterranean incident.
Although the Japanese have not yet found out who is the culprit of the Mediterranean incident, they know in their hearts that Qin Zhiyuan must have something to do with it.
The same goes for Qin Zhiyuan. Although Qin Zhiyuan has not yet found out who is behind the Tianjin Wharf incident, Qin Zhiyuan also knows that the Japanese must have something to do with this incident.
When the hostilities between Lanfang and Japan have developed to the present, there is already a blood feud between Lanfang and Japan that cannot be resolved.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that East Asia is not too big to say it is big, because compared to the population of East Asia, people's living space is not large. But at the same time, it is not too small to say that it is small. Based on the existing population base
It would be no problem to increase it three to five times more.
But people's ambitions are unlimited. Since East Asia already has a powerful Lanfang, there cannot be another powerful Japan.
The same is true for the Japanese.
In fact, Emperor Taisho of Japan also sent people to attend Qin Zhiyuan's enthronement ceremony. It is said that he was still a prince.
Lan Fang didn't like the Japanese very much from top to bottom, so much so that Qin Zhiyuan didn't even remember the name of the prince.
It doesn't matter, anyway, the relationship between Lanfang and Japan has become so bad that it can only be solved by war, and there is no point in talking about anything else.
So that night, Qin Zhiyuan boldly ordered the Japanese prince to be deported.
Yes, that is expulsion, expulsion without any mercy.
And right in the port, Lanfang Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang issued an ultimatum to the prince: If the people and ships are not released within three days, then Japan will wait to go to war with Lanfang.
go to war
It seems that the shadow of the world war has just touched the world, and the cloud of war has once again enveloped East Asia.
Okay, this is a bit serious. The world war did not actually affect East Asia. On the contrary, East Asia benefited greatly from the world war.
Before going to war with Japan, Qin Zhiyuan still had to do a lot of work. The first thing was to calm the emotions of Britain and the United States. The first person Qin Zhiyuan found was Lloyd George.
In fact, I was just about to say goodbye to you. Lanfang is indeed beautiful and makes people forget to leave. It is a pity that I still have work to continue and cannot stay here for a long time. Lloyd George said it very politely.
Then you are welcome to come to Lanfang to live permanently after retirement. The door of friendship in Lanfang will always be open to you. Qin Zhiyuan said it more politely.
Fei Zang thanks you, Your Majesty. Lloyd George stood up, stroking his chest and half bowing, very aristocratic.
Even if Lloyd George cannot be re-elected after taking office, Lloyd George will have a huge reputation as prime minister, and it is worthwhile for Qin Zhiyuan to win over him.
Regarding what happened last night, Your Majesty, what do you plan to do? Lloyd George started to get down to business.
Lan Fang will definitely not give up this time. The Japanese have gone too far. They must understand that Lan Fang's dignity cannot be provoked. Just now, Lan Fang has issued an ultimatum to Japan. If the Japanese do not take action on this matter,
Explain that Lanfang will enter a state of war with Japan. Qin Zhiyuan spoke righteously.
The ultimatum is no, no, you have to be careful about this. Lloyd George's intelligence was a bit lagging behind. Hearing Qin Zhiyuan's harsh words, he felt a little unprepared: I think there must be something wrong with this. In fact, just now, I received a message from Tai Zheng
The emperor's telegram and what happened last night were just a misunderstanding. The Japanese side will deal with the matter as soon as possible to find out what exactly caused this situation to happen again and again.
It sounds like Lloyd George was commissioned by Emperor Taisho to make peace with the money.
The Japanese have already used this little trick. The last time Emperor Taisho said it was a misunderstanding, and this time he said so again. This reason is really unconvincing, and if the result this time is the same as the last time, then this kind of thing will happen in the future.
Things will continue to happen. What to do then? I still misunderstand that Qin Zhiyuan is not ready to compromise this time.
On this issue, my suggestion is to calm down. After all, the destructive power of war is huge. Once a war starts easily, it will be difficult to end later, so we must be cautious. Lloyd George still wants to calm down the matter, but there is a hint in his words.
If you decide to go to war, then the war may become uncontrolled and expand.
I think we have been calm enough in the last seizure incident. But this calmness is seen as weakness by some careerists, so this time Lanfang cannot retreat. No matter what he faces, Lanfang will fight to the end.
, until the last person. Qin Zhiyuan is determined to break the boat.
To be honest, as a former comrade-in-arms, I have to say that the current Lanfang has no advantage against Japan, or there is no room to use its advantage, so I hope that His Majesty will be calmer when making any decisions. Thank you.
He George analyzed Lanfang's situation from a factual perspective.
In fact, it is not just Lloyd George who thinks so. No matter who you look at, as long as they have experienced a world war, they will think that Lanfang, who only has one battleship and does not yet have combat effectiveness, is facing the Japanese Six-Sixth Fleet.
It's really not enough to watch.
Lanfang's army may be very powerful, but in a sea battle, the army will not play any role. Japan only needs to send their battleships to blockade Lanfang, thus forcing Lanfang to sue for peace.
The Japanese's advantage is not as great as it seems on the surface. As for their Sixty-Sixth Fleet, to be honest, I don't think Lanfang can't compete. As the war has developed to this day, it is no longer possible to defeat a country with just one or two warships.
Yes, in that case, there would be no need for France to join the war, nor for the Foreign Legion. The Royal Navy of the British Empire alone could kill the Germans. Qin Zhiyuan praised the British Empire without leaving any trace.
Of course, there is no doubt that war is a contest of a country's comprehensive national strength. It seems that Qin Zhiyuan's flattery made Lloyd George feel very useful.
In this case, what advantages can the Japanese have to say about their industry? Haha, it is a joke. When facing a powerful country, instead of facing the decadent and backward Qing Empire and the Russian Empire, the Japanese fleet has no
In addition to making the Japanese people arrogant and arrogant, Qin Zhiyuan made the Japanese worthless.
Japan's industry is indeed just like that. This is not the 1930s. Before completely occupying the Northeast of the Republic of China, Japan did not have a stable supply base of raw materials. Their industrial lifeline was extremely fragile, although it would not collapse in a single effort.
, but there is no overwhelming advantage against Lanfang.
Even in many aspects, Japan is at a disadvantage when facing Lanfang, and this will become more and more obvious as time goes by.
Now that your Majesty has decided, I can only wish him good luck. Lloyd George has given up on making peace.
In fact, Lloyd George knew very well that the Japanese were not as powerful as they seemed. When facing the collapsed Qing Empire and the Russian Empire, the Japanese could show off their power, but when facing a civilized country, the Japanese were nothing.
If Lanfang did not know the details of the Japanese, what more could Lloyd George say. But if Lanfang knew the details of the Japanese, then no matter what Lloyd George said, it would be in vain.
Just when Qin Zhiyuan and Lloyd George were saying goodbye, a confrontation was taking place in Yokohama, Japan.
The confrontation took place at the Japanese penicillin factory in Lanfang. The cause was very simple. When the Japanese workers came to work in the early morning, they found that a notice announcing the suspension of work for rectification had been posted at the door of the factory.
This immediately caused dissatisfaction among Japanese workers.
come out, we need an explanation
we want to work
Lanfang people, get out
Many workers were shouting and cursing around the factory gate. They demanded that the factory come forward to explain and give them an explanation.
Everyone, please go back first. This matter is being coordinated and resolved. Mr. Mayor and Mr. Councilman are discussing with Mr. Lin. Please believe Mr. Mayor and Mr. Councilor, they will definitely give everyone an explanation. At the same time, during the suspension of business for rectification,
Everyone's wages have been paid normally. Please go to the Finance Office to collect your wages. The factory did not ignore the workers' calls. A young Japanese manager came out to dissuade him, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the workers' neat slogans.
Unlike the bustle in front of the factory, the conference room inside the factory was as cold as ice.
Lin Sang, is there really no room for change in this matter? The mayor of Yokohama's anger is on the verge of exploding.
There is no room for negotiation, but it depends on your attitude. For now, we can only temporarily suspend cooperation with you. As for when to resume work, it depends on higher-level communication. We have no right to decide. Lin Changen
He spoke calmly and calmly, and the rejection in his words was obvious.
In fact, the most important link in the production of penicillin is the cultivation of culture media. However, in the Yokohama factory, there is no special culture medium workshop. All culture media are shipped from Lanfang. In name, the Yokohama factory is a factory, but in fact it is not.
It's not production, just packaging.
In this case, I'm afraid you have seen the situation outside now. If you insist, then we cannot guarantee your safety. The mayor of Yokohama directly threatened Lin Changen with personal safety.
Prior to this, Yokohama City had done countless things against Lin Changen and others, and had used money and beauty and other methods, but to no avail.
Haha, life is so joyful, and death is so painful. Farewell. Lin Changen gave a long laugh, stood up and clasped his fists, turned around and left.
On October 9, Lin Chang'en, Lan Fang's technical representative sent to Japan to control the penicillin factory, and seven other Lan Fang colleagues were beaten to death by angry Japanese workers. On the same day, Lan Fang declared war on Japan.
