240 Washington Convention

ps: Recently, home decoration has entered the most annoying final stage, and the update is unstable. Please understand

For a prime minister who is about to leave office and has publicly announced that he will not run for the next prime minister, life should be quite comfortable.No one ever deliberately confronted Takahashi Shiqing, and no one bothered Takahashi Shiqing because of urgent state affairs.Anyway, the most urgent thing for Japan now is the candidate for the next prime minister.

Takahashi Shiqing also has no plans to withdraw from the political arena. Various forces including the Imperial Palace, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of the Navy, and the Parliament have all sent messages to Takahashi Shiqing, hoping that Takahashi Shiqing will be able to serve as the Minister of Finance after retiring as Prime Minister.In theory, Takahashi Shikiyo just needs to wait to bow out and go to the Ministry of Finance to continue doing what he does best.

However, things are not that simple. Takahashi Shiqing wants to spend the last few days of his term as prime minister easily, but political matters are still coming.

The biggest difference between Takahashi Shiqing and other politicians is their way of thinking about solving problems. The current mainstream way of thinking in Japan has a strong characteristic, that is, solving domestic problems abroad.Because several countries around Japan are real big countries, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, and even the United States, which is desperately penetrating into the Western Pacific, each country is stronger than Japan.In addition to Britain, China, Russia, and the United States are all hostile to Japan.Most Japanese politicians believe that Japan must expand to be stable, and Japan must seize every opportunity to implement expansion. [

Therefore, Takahashi Shiqing himself is a minority in Japanese politics. It is not that he does not support expansion, but he believes that expansion should be subject to Japan's pace of solving internal problems, rather than all activities in Japan being subject to the needs of expansion.

Therefore, several matters before the Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Shiqing were full of controversy.The first thing is about Kolchak going east.Despite the lack of coordination, the Allies had an agreement to attack Russia.Churchill, who served as the British Minister of War during the siege of Soviet Russia, claimed after the operation that he was the organizer of the "Fourteen Nations Attack" on the Soviet Republic.

China and the United States can not "urinate" the orders of Churchill and the United Kingdom at all, but Japan dare not do so.After Kolchak was defeated in the west of the Ural Mountains and was driven across the Ural Mountains to the vast and wild east of Russia, he did not decide to establish a base on the spot, but continued all the way east, according to the British "suggestion" to seek refuge in Japan, Strive to make a comeback.

After more than half a year of marching, more than a million people under Kolchak have actually arrived in the Pacific region. The Kolchak envoy asked Japan to promise to Britain to help Kolchak gain a foothold in the Far East.

Japan is very embarrassed about this.After the Russian Revolution, Japan certainly hoped to make a fortune in the Far East.I hope this thing is always too fragile. First of all, they fell into a protracted security war in North Korea. The crazy plundering of the Army Department in North Korea led to fierce resistance from the North Koreans. Blow up bridges, raid and destroy scattered Japanese strongholds.This made most of Japan's military force have to be used to deal with North Korea.

And China is moving its army northward, fighting all the way to the vicinity of Nerchinsk, occupying a vast area of ​​land.These areas occupied by China rely entirely on railway transportation, and the naval guns of the Japanese Navy cannot even threaten the Chinese.The Japanese Ministry of War did not want to have a big war with China in these northern areas at all, so Japan just captured the northern part of Vladivostok.

Even this harvest has not been exclusive to Japan.The U.S. Navy dispatched troops as a demonstration in the name of the joint dispatch of troops by the Allied Powers, and also landed in the north of Vladivostok. China and the United States firmly blocked Japan's way to the north.

Therefore, both the Japanese Army Department and the Navy Department found Takahashi Shiqing for a meeting to discuss this "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

In the current situation, Takahashi Shiqing doesn't care about anything anymore.The Ministry of War yelled the loudest, and Takahashi poured a bucket of cold water on them, "Although I don't know anything about military affairs, as far as I know about the attempts, the Army has the advantage of not only landing on the Far East coast, but also having the advantage of railway transportation." If China comes to a war, it would be cheaper to go directly across the Sino-Japanese border on the Yalu River and start a war with China.”

After hearing this, the War Department fell silent.In theory this is the best way.China's advance into the Far East relied entirely on the Northeast they had seized as a base.The best way to seize the Far East is to seize Northeast China.The only problem is that the Japanese Ministry of War is simply not capable of doing this.

The Japanese Ministry of the Navy did not want to humiliate themselves. The navy could seize a few ports at most, and it was basically able to complete the plan to seize the Far East alone.

Seeing that the military finally succumbed, Takahashi Shiqing did not continue to be a hero in words.He said: "The most important thing now is to find out the situation of Kolchak as soon as possible."
