Years of the Republic of China 1913

Although Sun Wen got a lovely wife,.But much more was lost than gained.Song Charlie's turnaround made the Revolutionary Party, which was already struggling with financial constraints, even worse. It not only lost old friends, but also lost its usual stable source of income. In addition, Song Charlie had a wide range of friends, many friends, and popularity in the circle. It has always been good, what Sun Wen did made Song Charlie very angry and even got a serious illness. Among his friends, they were extremely dissatisfied with Sun Wen's ungrateful actions. Coupled with the stability of the domestic situation and the smooth implementation of the constitutional government, some of them were in KMT and Those swinging at both ends of the revolutionary party gradually changed their attitudes. Some abandoned Sun Wen and went to KMT, some gradually alienated Sun Wen and disdained his character, and some even cursed Sun Wen because of Charlie Song, turning from support to opposition.

All of this was unexpected by Sun Wen. Although he had a good tongue and was a master at flickering, but no matter what he explained in front of the facts, most people would only believe what they saw and no longer believe it at all.Afterwards, Sun Wen regretted it too much, and secretly sighed why he always has a big head but can't control the small head?If I knew this earlier, why would I still have to do this kind of thing.

There is no regret medicine to buy in the world, and Sun Wen was devastated by his own incident, which caused the already shaky revolutionary party to almost fall apart.If it weren't for the hard-core support of some "hot-blooded youths" who were deceived, Sun Wen's revolutionary party might have disbanded for the first time. go down.

The political situation in China is gradually becoming clearer. Zhong Yang has basically unified the whole country.Except for a few areas in the Northwest and Northeast, the country's political situation has tended to be stable.Among the parties, KMT is the leader, and the rest of the parties are flourishing, and without the revolutionary party fanning the flames and making revolutions everywhere, the country's construction has developed rapidly by taking advantage of the European War.Fang Zida judged that the climate of the revolutionary party was exhausted, and Sun Wen, who had rebelled against his relatives, was already at dusk. As long as there were no major changes in the central government, it would continue like this.The country is bound to move towards a good cycle.

However, after solving the internal and external problems, the Japanese government desperately used iron fists to recover losses in order to survive this counterfeit banknote crisis.Although the countries of the Allied Powers, including neutral countries, have strongly protested what the Japanese government did this time.And started the procedure of trade punishment, but Fang Zida didn't feel any relief in his heart, on the contrary, he was a little heavy.

The reason is very simple. Japan is a strange nation. Japan's own thinking is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people on earth. Japan's politicians often go to extremes when faced with problems, and this unscrupulous reaction is one of them.Although the Japanese government can solve economic problems and stabilize the domestic situation in a short period of time by doing so, the consequences are extremely serious.Countries that have suffered huge losses will never rest.If the trade penalty is officially introduced, the Japanese economy will inevitably suffer another wave of major blows. At this time, Japan, which is forced into a corner, will definitely not sit still. I'm afraid he will put all his eggs in one basket and do something even more appalling.

Anyone who knows a little about modern history knows that since the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the whole of Japan has been like a crazy gambler.First, it borrowed huge sums of money from the United Kingdom to develop the navy, and suddenly launched a war when it was impossible to repay the huge loans.Annexed North Korea in one fell swoop, and at the same time put the entire national fortune on the gambling table, and fought a Sino-Japanese naval battle with the Qing government at that time.After barely defeating China, Japan paid off all its loans with indemnities, and obtained territories such as North Korea and Taiwan*Taiwan.A lot of benefits have been obtained, leading to a further increase in national strength.Not long after.Having tasted the sweetness, Japan once again sits on the gambling table, but this time the opponent is no longer China, but the Russian Empire of the Tsar. The Japanese-Russian War was a thrilling one. If it wasn’t for luck and Tsarist Russia’s command mistakes, the outcome of this war might be different, but the result is that Japan won the second bet. Received a lot of benefits, and even squeezed into the ranks of the great powers.

Two successful shots in a row have caused arrogance and arrogance in Japan.If it wasn't for Fang Zida's appearance, with the outbreak of the European War, there might be a repeat of the Ride battle in Qingdao.After two successful bets, the Japanese government, who considers himself a "god of gamblers" possessed by him, has long since lost his mind to think calmly. It was the same twice, and once again took all the belongings and sat down at the gaming table again.

There are often many coincidences in history. Taking the Second World War as an example, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was also a gamble based on this mentality, but that time Japan lost the bet, and almost lost If the United States has not considered the Asian issues after the Korean War and supported Japan, Japan may have completely become a third-rate country, and it will never stand up again.

"China? Tsarist Russia? Or...."

Fang Zida's brows became tighter and tighter, what kind of reaction would the Japanese government make?Based on his knowledge of Ri himself, the possibility of going to war is extremely high.With the allies of the Allies, will Japan join the Allies to fight against the Allies?This is not impossible. Once the trade penalties of the Allied Powers start, the chances of Japan doing so are very high, and only war can divert and resolve such contradictions.Of course, Japan has another option, which is to continue to stay within the Allies and formally send troops to attack the Allies in order to restore the Allies' understanding of Japan's government.However, with Japan's geographical location and deployment of troops, it is almost impossible to go to Europe to participate in the war. Tsarist Nicholas II will definitely not agree to enter Europe through Tsarist Russia.In this way, the target of the war is only the members of the Allied Powers who are close at hand, or the colonies of Britain and France in Asia, or even China as a neutral country.

Who will Japan choose?Fang Zida felt a little uneasy. If he were the Prime Minister of Japan, the best choice would be China.China and Japan are neighboring countries, and Japan's territorial ambitions for China have never disappeared. Although China is now on the road to constitutionalism and the construction of the national army is gradually taking shape, China is still weaker than Japan in terms of overall military strength. It is much more reliable to launch a local war against a neutral country than to tear it apart and go to war with the Allied countries, and the risk is also smaller from a military or political point of view.Once the war is won, obtaining a large area of ​​China's territorial resources can also satisfy Japan's ambition to conquer Asia and then the world.

Thinking of this, Fang Zida couldn't help but smile wryly.If this is the result, I'm afraid he shot himself in the foot with a stone this time, and set himself on fire.Fang Zida secretly regretted that he had gone too far, but after thinking about it, his mood gradually calmed down again. A unified China is slightly inferior to Japan's current national strength, but the outcome of a war is unpredictable , Maybe this matter is a blessing in disguise, how can we know the blessings and misfortunes.

"Brother Xizi, brother Changqing."

"Brother Zhang Ming."

Seeing Fang Zida coming in, Yang Du and Yang Yongtai stood up at the same time, Fang Zida greeted them with a smile, and motioned to sit down and talk.

The servants served the tea, and after the tea delivery person left, Yang Du asked with a smile; "What's the big deal about finding Changqing and me in such a hurry?"

Nodding his head, Fang Zida said solemnly, "Brother Xizi is right, there is something important to discuss with the two of you."

"Oh..." Yang Du and Yang Yongtai exchanged glances, and sat there quietly waiting for Fang Zida to speak.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Fang Zida asked, "You two, do you know the recent political situation in Japan?"

"Ribo?" Yang Du was slightly surprised, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Is what Zhang Ming is referring to the financial turmoil in Japan?"

Fang Zida nodded, took out a copy of the documents and handed them over, and said, "These are the documents about Japan's financial issues that the Central Bank of China and the Ministry of Finance have just received. Please take a look at them first."

Without saying a word, Yang Du and Yang Yongtai opened it and looked at it.The room fell silent for a while, except for the rustling of papers turning over and slight breathing, there was no other sound.

Not long after, both of them finished reading the materials, and Yang Du and Yang Yongtai's expressions gradually became dignified from the relaxed at first.

"These Japanese people are simply crazy." Yang Du shook his head and said: "Aren't they afraid of offending Britain, France, the United States and other countries by doing this? Don't they think everyone in the world is a fool? Can those great powers who suffered a lot Let it go so easily?"

"Hehe, it's not that it's not that Xizi doesn't know the personality of the Japanese. These Japanese are all used to being arrogant and conceited. They have always been willing to take advantage of the character and don't want to suffer. It's normal to do things like this. .But... In this way, I am afraid that Japan will be under great pressure, and this matter will never end so easily."

"You two are right." Fang Zida interjected: "Ri's government made this move. On the surface, it seems that the financial problem has been temporarily suppressed, but the consequences are extremely serious. Based on my understanding of Western countries and Japan, this matter It’s just a start, I’m afraid it won’t be long before something bigger will happen.”

Yang Du thought about it thoughtfully, then suddenly his expression changed, he pointed at Fang Zida and was speechless for a while.

"Brother Xizi, did you think of something?"

Yang Du nodded, and sighed with an ugly face: "I'm afraid... troubled times... there will be another war."

Yang Yongtai didn't react as quickly as Yang Du, but his judgment ability was not inferior to Yang Du's. After thinking about it for a while, his face changed, and his expression was abnormally solemn.

"Two great talents!" Fang Zida praised, but without the slightest bit of joy on his face, he asked directly: "According to what you two see, what country will Japan attack?"

"It's hard to say... It's hard to say...." Yang Du shook his head, thought for a while and said, "Maybe Tsarist Russia, maybe Britain and France, or maybe..."

"Maybe it's the Republic of China!" Yang Yongtai interjected. (To be continued..)
