Seeing that Komura Jutaro's attitude of admitting his mistake was more sincere, Emperor Yang's face became slightly better. He thought for a while and said: "Well, if something like this happens, as a business manager, I must be responsible. I will let Sendai
The director of the factory was suspended for inspection, and some of the main persons responsible for the accident were dealt with, but those who maliciously obstructed the normal operation of the factory must be severely punished."
"Understood, Your Majesty, we will definitely handle it." Xiaocun said quickly.
"Well, I'm quite confident in your abilities. Sometimes you have to learn to use harsh measures. If this matter is not handled well, it will not only affect my subsequent investment plans, but also some projects in Japan will not proceed.
It's necessary.
You must understand that development must come at a price. I don’t need to tell you how much benefit a high-tech factory can bring you, and which one is more important than those dead ass people.
What are you afraid of if a few people die? Compared with your economic development, a few hundred or a few thousand people die in an accident is nothing.
Is it the same as national development? The accumulation of capital must be laid with blood and bones, and you must treat this as a war." Yang Feng continued.
Komura hurriedly resigned, not even daring to ask about compensation. After receiving His Majesty the Emperor's decree, the current Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Konomo immediately transferred two regiments from the First Division northward from Tokyo.
The ineffective Sendai garrison was replaced, and then a force was used to suppress the Japanese who surrounded the Monsanto factory, even using tear gas purchased from China.
The people in One-Eyed Dragon's hometown are quite tough. The desperate Japanese even clashed with the army. Hundreds of people were killed and injured in the conflict. Nearly a thousand people were subsequently imprisoned, especially some of the secret trade unions who took the lead in organizing workers to cause trouble.
The leader of the organization was even forced to commit suicide in prison.
Only then did Emperor Yang know that there was actually a director behind the whole thing.
"Katama Qian, Abe Isoo, Kotoku Shusui, they are all big names!" Looking at the list of strike organizers just investigated by the intelligence office in his hand, Emperor Yang seemed to feel that he had discovered a new continent.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Japan that they are planning to shoot these people as a warning to others." Yuan Shikai said with a smile.
"No, tell the Japanese, just say that I interceded for these people and released other workers' representatives who were arrested by them. A lot of people have died for this matter, and there should not be any more bloodshed." Yang
The emperor said while pretending to wipe the non-existent tears from his eyes.
The Lord Attendant looked at him in astonishment, as if he felt a little unbelievable.
"Look, these people are of great use. What they and their stuff are best at is disrupting a country. We must always be vigilant about Japan and not give this country any chance to get up. Over the years, they have endured humiliation and development.
It was fast enough. Do you think I forgot them?
Why do I have to ask the Japanese government to handle the Sendai incident in this way? Do you think I really care about the compensation? The Japanese are very poor, and they are still on the silver standard. The People's Bank of China now has a lot of silver deposits. Just take out some.
Let them be grateful and work for me wholeheartedly.
But I insist that the Japanese government use this method that can easily cause endless troubles. The purpose is to create confrontation between them and the people. The Japanese support for the government is too scary. Think about those people who go out to sell meat without any regrets.
Japanese women who make money make me feel a little bit cold all over, so if I want Japan to never get up, it is necessary to make their people completely opposed to the government.
We can do this, and so can other Japanese capitalists. Gradually, the Japanese people will discover that their government simply treats them as cattle and horses, and the ideas spread by these people can most easily arouse the people's consciousness of resistance. Our goal is
Let Japan continue to be in chaos, completely in chaos.
As for the factories in Japan, they are nothing compared to a Japan that is always struggling in the quagmire of turmoil." Emperor Yang said with a sinister smile.
"Are those things really that scary?" Yuan Shikai said in disbelief.
"Of course, it is the ultimate destructive force of order. If it is not handled well, it will destroy our current good situation. We order the intelligence department to pay attention and kill anyone who is found to be spreading these things. Don't kill them in public. Our remarks
It is free and will not prohibit the spread of any ideas, but other methods can be used. Traffic accidents, robberies, and inexplicable diseases are all possible. In addition, some gang members under our control are supported in the country, and sometimes some ordinary people are allowed to do so.
It is also very useful for criminal cases." Emperor Yang said viciously.
What he is building is a country controlled by big capitalists and consortiums, so he is extremely careful about dangerous things. Although he likes to export these things, it is absolutely impossible to let them spread in the country. In a certain sense, this
It is said that one's own worst enemy can use all means.
Although Yuan Shikai didn't quite understand it, it was the first time that Emperor Yang showed such caution, which made him feel that it was unusual. In this case, he should hurry up and make arrangements according to Emperor Yang's instructions.
The Sendai industrial accident did not have much impact on the international community. At this time, Japan was almost a forgotten land internationally. The only people who cared about them were the British, but the United Kingdom was the home base of People's Radio and Tomorrow Daily, and the British government
Neither the government nor the capitalists are interested in bringing trouble to Emperor Yang for the Japanese. Things like this are not shocking in Europe. Who hasn’t had an industrial accident these days? Although there are more people killed, the distant Japanese are not.
It's such a big deal, it won't look good on anyone if we really want to expose each other.
At this time, the British finally achieved a victory worth celebrating in South Africa. After a hard battle, they occupied Bloemfontein, which meant that the Orange Republic had also been solved by them, and now the remaining
There is only the Transvaal. So far, the British Empire has suffered more than 50,000 casualties in that distant colony. Especially in the final stage of the Battle of Bloemfontein, both sides even developed large-scale mustard gas fumigation.
It was the numerical advantage of poison gas bombs that allowed the British army to finally capture the city.
At least five thousand British soldiers fell forever in the diffuse yellow poisonous fog, and more than three thousand Boers died from the British gas bombs. The tragic scene of corpses strewn on the battlefield completely frightened those soldiers.
Under the exaggeration of journalists who reported on the war from Europe, Europeans finally realized the horror of this devil. For a time, public opinion in various countries remembered Emperor Yang's original initiative and called on governments to sit down and sign a prohibition
Convention on the use of poison gas bombs.
"This is very necessary. Not only mustard gas, but also the phosgene that the Americans are using on the Mexican battlefield. These two cruel weapons should not continue to be used on the battlefield. Whether it is the Chinese royal family or the government, we are very willing to
Sign a convention with other countries to ban the use of mustard gas and phosgene." Emperor Yang said with great righteousness.
The Americans had officially gone to war with the Mexicans at this time. However, the Mexican People's Liberation Army under the leadership of Santos, with the belief in defending their homeland and the support of advanced Chinese weapons, despite insufficient training, was still very powerful in combat. It was a change from the war that year.
In a comical performance, the US military fighting on the road had to face a powerful enemy and deal with endless guerrillas. The battle in northern Mexico was miserable. At this time, gas bombs naturally became the best weapon, but the enemy on the opposite side of them was miserable.
The Mexicans also have no shortage of this thing. Who is Santos? He is an ancestor of poison gas. Naturally, he will not forget to equip his army with such a good thing. The poison gas war between the two sides is getting out of control.
The ministers from various countries who came to contact this issue did not pay too much attention to Emperor Yang's proposal to ban mustard gas and phosgene, rather than directly using the term poison gas bombs. Everyone is smart and naturally knows to leave a line in case anything happens.
If a new type of poisonous gas is developed tomorrow, it will naturally no longer need to be restricted by this convention.
Because Emperor Yang was the first to advocate the ban on poison gas bombs, in order to give him face, all countries decided to sign the convention in Beijing, including the United States and Mexico, which were at war, and even the Confederate States of America. In order to facilitate the distinction between this country and
The international community usually continues to refer to it as the Confederation, and the ministers of the three countries stationed in China were all invited to the negotiating table.
In fact, Americans and Mexicans are also afraid of each other using poison gas on the battlefield. Up to now, more than 50,000 people from the two countries have fallen to each other's poison gas bombs. They have clearly understood that this situation will not benefit anyone.
Good thing, now I'm happy to go downhill.
There were no twists and turns in the negotiations. Bloody facts have long proved that the result of large-scale poison gas bombs is mutual destruction. Even those who have not yet used them have been deeply educated. In this way, the Beijing Convention banning the use of mustard gas and phosgene was soon
, it was officially signed under the abbot of Emperor Yang, and representatives from various countries solemnly signed their names on the convention.
"Your Majesty, I have to say that your kindness has saved the lives of countless soldiers." At the reception after the signing ceremony, Bi Sheng, the French negotiator and minister to China, raised his glass and complimented Emperor Yang. He did not yet know that His Majesty the Emperor
In order to wait for them to sign this agreement so that they can be beaten, the attack on Vietnam has been postponed for a full half month.
"Your Excellency, Minister, everything is for peace!" Emperor Yang raised his wine glass and said with a smile. (To be continued...)
