According to incomplete statistics, Lan Fang's bombing of Tokyo killed about 100,000 people, destroyed more than 200,000 houses, left nearly 1.5 million people homeless, and caused more than 200,000 property losses.
One billion yen.
You know, in the 1920s, Tokyo's population was only about 3.7 million, and nearly 1.5 million people were homeless. Lanfang's bombing almost destroyed half of Tokyo.
, the destruction efficiency was so high that even Xie Rundong found it incredible.
Houses in Tokyo still adhere to the Japanese-style wooden house structure. Although the weather is cold in the middle of winter, the north wind is strong and the wind helps the fire, causing it to be so powerful.
Another reason is the gas pipes in Tokyo. The napalm bomb detonated the gas pipes almost immediately, which caused more serious consequences. It can be said that the reason why this fire was so powerful was largely due to
Thanks to the gas pipelines, if Tokyo had not laid gas pipelines throughout the city, napalm bombs alone would not have caused such great damage.
Not only did Xie Rundong feel incredible, but Glynn Augustine and Scott James also felt incredible, because no one expected that Lan Fang would risk the disapproval of the world to bomb Tokyo.
You must know that within the city of Tokyo, there are also embassies of various powers that have established diplomatic relations with Japan. Although Lanfang's bombing deliberately avoided the embassy area, the embassy area was still unstoppable under the dual ravages of gas pipelines and northwest winds.
To avoid being affected by the bombing, about six Western diplomats were killed in the bombing. If Western civilians are included, the number would have exceeded a hundred.
Among the Western diplomats who died, the most senior Dutch ambassador to Japan was the Dutch ambassador to Japan. At that time, this unfortunate ambassador was on his way to the Imperial Palace to visit the emperor. Unexpectedly, he happened to catch up with the bombing of Bodeshui and others.
What's even more sad is that the ambassador did not die from the bombing, but was hit by a carriage when he got out of the car to check. This is also a strange anecdote.
But no matter what, as long as British and Americans were killed in this bombing, Glinton Augustine and Scott James would seek justice for their citizens, so Glinton Augustine and Scott James immediately separated
Met with Prime Minister Huang Bohan and lodged a serious protest with Huang Bohan.
Glinton, this was just an accident. No one wants to see something like this happen. You should know that our air force had avoided the embassy area during the bombing. Those people did not die from conspiracy, but from death.
Unexpected. Although it was a bit pale, Huang Bohan still tried his best to explain.
So what? People cannot be resurrected after death. The key issue is the aftermath.
To be honest, Glinton Augustine didn't care if a few Americans died as long as it satisfied Glinton Augustine.
People always die, right?
Mr. Prime Minister, whether this was an accident or not, this is a provocation against the United States of America. More than twenty Americans were killed in this bombing, including our military attaché in Japan. This result is unacceptable to us.
A mechanism must be established to avoid similar situations from happening again, and at the same time, it is necessary to provide compensation to those poor people and give their families a certain degree of comfort. Glinton Augustine began to put forward conditions.
Of course, we will give some compensation to the families of those poor people to express our sympathy. But there is one issue that must be stated. If cash appears, it only represents humanitarian compensation, not an apology. This is war, not an apology.
It is a war controlled by anyone, and we are a just party, so if there is an apology, it should also be an apology from the Japanese government. It is precisely because they provoked this war that so many innocent people were killed. Huang Bohan carried it
Be clear and leave no clues to others.
Since you have killed other people's citizens, you should pay compensation, but you must be careful when apologizing.
If we want to apologize, it means that the Lanfang government made a mistake. This is a matter of principle and there is no room for ambiguity.
Oh, you are always like this, Mr. Prime Minister, aren't you willing to give those poor people some comfort? The wife has lost her husband, the child has lost its mother, what a tragic thing it is, Lanfang is a big country now, you should
By being compassionate enough, rather than being aggressive like this. What Glinton Augustine said means a lot.
Glinton, you should know that the Chinese have never been aggressive. We will only fight back when we can't bear it anymore. If we look at the history of the Chinese, for thousands of years before the Qing Empire, the Chinese were invincible in the world.
The most controversial power, but our ancestors did nothing. Our ancestors did nothing. Goryeo is still Goryeo, and Japan is still Japan. They have existed as vassals of the Chinese country for thousands of years, and they still exist today. Isn’t this the most important thing?
Good proof? Of course Huang Bohan will not admit that Lan Fang is offensive. This is also a matter of principle.
Of course, from this aspect, the Chinese are indeed a very gentle nation. Glinton Augustine spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.
The history of the Chinese is too glorious. As long as they use this killer weapon, they will be invincible, especially when facing the Americans.
Well, America, America has no history.
Others showed aggression. Think about it. After General Matthew Perry signed the Treaty of Kanagawa with the Edo Shogunate, the Japanese began the Meiji Restoration. Just ten years later, Japan annexed Ryukyu.
Twenty years later, Japan annexed Korea. If they were given time, they would annex the entire earth. This is not alarmist. If you know the Japanese, you will agree with this judgment. Huang Bohan is ready to instigate rebellion against Glinton Augustine.
Matthew Perry is an American. In 1853, it was Matthew Perry who led the fleet into Japan, which triggered Japan's modernization process. In this process, Americans took the greatest credit.
Well, it seems that it makes sense for the Japanese to admire Americans. Who wants the Americans to beat them again and again?
Of course, Japan's performance is indeed disturbing. Glinton Augustine agreed with Huang Bohan's words.
Glinton Augustine was unable to refute Huang Bohan's words, not because Huang Bohan mentioned Matthew Perry, but because everything Huang Bohan said was true, and facts speak louder than words.
Similarly, during the course of the World War, Japan forced the Republic of China to sign a series of treaties, and these treaties were seriously exclusive. If these treaties were to become a reality, Japan would dominate the Republic of China market, which would be 400 million people.
It’s such a big market that there will never be another Huang Bohan in the world who can take advantage of his bait.
Those treaties could not become a reality. No one except the Japanese recognized those things. Glinton Augustine vetoed them.
Look, the spirit of contract that Westerners admire is like this. When they need it, when those treaties are beneficial to them, the spirit of contract will become a symbol of Westerners' integrity. But when those contracts are not good for them,
Those contracts are useless paper.
If Qin Zhiyuan were present, then Qin Zhiyuan would definitely think of the big-mouthed man who wanted to select the president of the United States in the 21st century. He actually openly declared that all contracts signed by Americans with foreign countries have no legal effect and must be renegotiated. This
It’s really the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Yes, for us, those treaties have no effect, and even for the Beiyang government of the Republic of China, those treaties have no effect, because the Beiyang government of the Republic of China did not implement them at all. But if the military government in the south of the Republic of China came to power, these treaties would
It is hard to say whether the treaty will become a reality. Huang Bohan began to mix in the sand.
Southern Government and Beiyang Government
Needless to say, a certain party was not very pure from the moment it was born.
This problem is indeed serious. Our U.S. government is trying to propose an embargo on the Republic of China. You must know that the Republic of China has almost no industrial capacity. If the world's arms exports to the Republic of China are restricted, then the chaos of the Republic of China may end earlier. Greenton
Augustine had faith.
Arms embargoes did occur in the history of another time and space, but their effect was minimal.
The history of Chinese wars has almost run through the entire history of the Chinese, and cold weapon wars have occupied most of the time. Unless the Chinese themselves have fought enough, it would be wishful thinking to rely on an arms embargo to make the Chinese stop the war.
We will discuss this issue later. The key issue now is how to deal with the ambitious Japanese. You must know that the Japanese did fail this time, but if they are given a chance, their ambition will expand again, and there will be no end.
How can we prevent Japan from being a threat to the whole world? I think this is the question we should consider. Huang Bohan finally returned to the Japanese.
The Japanese took Glinton Augustine as a helper simply because they wanted to curb Lan Fang's ambitions. Although Glinton Augustine did speak for the Japanese, how sincere he was is worth examining.
There is not so much sincerity between countries, so the relationship between pla and Bati in another time and space is so strong.
Under normal circumstances, the victor has the right to speak. Therefore, international relations have never been dominated by drawing out a sword to help others when encountering difficulties. The mainstream is to add insult to injury.
When Glinton Augustine left Huang Bohan's office, Glinton Augustine no longer had the Americans who died in the bombing in his mind, but was thinking about what benefits the United States could gain from this feast of carving up Japan.
That's right, it's carving up. Although Japan has no resources, they still have some pretty good things, such as the Nagato-class battleship
Well, even if you can't get the actual object, just the drawings are good. You must know that the Americans are building Colorado-class battleships. If they can obtain the technology of the Nagato-class, it will be great news for the Americans.
After sending away Glinton Augustine, Huang Bohan waited for Scott James.
After Scott James, German Ambassador to Lanfang Ribbentrop is in line
