Chapter 356 Chaos World (4)
After this private meeting, Masato Tanuchi, as prime minister, first proposed to build a total war system. At the 39th Parliament in 1917, a government-spanning budget of 260 million yen was adopted to establish the 84 Fleet and expand combat readiness. The coal and iron industry. At the 40th Parliament in 1918, a huge budget with the establishment of the 86 Fleet and the expansion of the army was also adopted. In order to ensure the increase in fiscal revenue, the "Military Factory Mobilization Law" and the "Military Rescue Law" stipulated that the state cares for the injured persons and relatives in the war were obliged. The Military Affairs Bureau was established in the cabinet, and a consulting agency directly under the cabinet was also established, temporary education meetings, and the education of subjects of the people. Every measure in the temple was to deal with the First World War. For the Cabinet of Teraenaka, the most urgent task is to eliminate domestic chaos caused by the Russian Revolution and establish a national system that swears allegiance to the emperor. The General Mobilization Law of the Military Supply Factory gave the government huge authority to rule the national economy. The influence of this law extends to the wartime economic rule implemented when Japan launched the full-scale war of aggression against China and the Pacific War. On the other hand, the Japanese government began to carry out unified operations of the colonies, and the cabinet set up a colonial bureau to merge the management rights of Taiwan, North Korea and Karata, which have been under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Internal Affairs, and then the Governor of Kanto served as the President of the Manchurian Railway. The Prime Minister replaced the Foreign Minister to directly exercise the supervision power, thus forming a system in which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not a formal channel, but a system that could exert the power of the Prime Minister both formally and informally.
However, these elites of the Great Japanese Empire would never have imagined that the three strategies they secretly discussed in the secret room to restrict China appeared on the desk of Wang Zhenyu, who became the actual ruler of Nanchina by them.
What happened? It has to start with Wang Zhenyu's personal visit to Shanghai last year to discuss going to Europe to participate in the war and financial reform. When chatting with Wang Yaqiao, the Jiangnan General Station of the Party Investigation Department, Wang Zhenyu casually said on the issue of Japan's intelligence work: "If our people are not easy to penetrate, please look for North Koreans."
As a result, Wang Yaqiao's thoughts suddenly opened up. He immediately assigned Dai Li to contact the North Koreans in Shanghai and began an action to infiltrate Japanese departments at all levels.
Dai Li's ability to do things is indeed great. He quickly contacted Kim Jor, a North Korean who was later called the founding father by the Koreans. Kim Jor, who had been seeking support from external forces, naturally hit it off. He even left North Korea and secretly entered Shanghai to contact Dai Li.
Zhou Lan, who was in charge of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, also had a secret meeting with He Jian, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The result of the meeting was that the Party Affairs Investigation Department and the Military Intelligence Bureau divided the work on military intelligence. The two sides formed a cooperative agency, Blue Yi Society, which was specifically responsible for intelligence work on Japan. Dai Li was therefore the director of Blue Yi Society. Through such an organization, everyone realized the sharing of intelligence resources, and of course they had to jointly bear the funds.
However, after all, it has only been infiltrated for a year. It is logical that if you want to use China's latest countermeasures, it is impossible for people who lurk in Japanese institutions to obtain such a high-level secret. However, an accident still happened, because the original author of the China-San Sinica was a lurking element in the successful invasion of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The difference is that this Japanese Korean named Hojo Yuo, whose real name is Kim Yongmae, was not sent to Japan after being trained, but was instigated by the Korean Independence Army and the others after becoming an official of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Its concealment is much higher than that of other North Korean spies that continued to infiltrate Japanese institutions at all levels in the later period. With this expert, there is naturally no secret to China-San Sinica.
After seeing the three Huamen, Wang Zhenyu breathed a long sigh. He had always been worried about whether his appearance would lead to the early invasion of Japan. Now it seems that his worries are redundant. As expected, Japan has never emerged from the huge losses of the Russo-Japanese War from the beginning to the end. Without money, it must be that it is not money. In history, Japan's final invasion of China was not because Japan's vitality was restored. On the contrary, the rational part of Japan's decision-making level was killed. The remaining group of madmen who overestimated themselves began the trick of ants swallowing elephants. At that time, China itself was not successful. Years of warlord melee consumed national strength in vain. The civil war under the instigation of the Soviet Union made the entire country and nation miss the best time to prepare for war.
However, what Wang Zhenyu has to think about now is not the problem. 1917 was destined to be a turbulent autumn. In the north, a military coup occurred in the Beiyang government. On June 8, the First Division, the three divisions loyal to Li Yuanhong, was arrested and the First Division of the Anhui Governor (actually only Xuzhou is the territory), was instigated by Duan Qirui (actually only a territory in Xuzhou), the President of the Dingwu Army Zhang Xun, and the President of the Anwu Army Ni Sichong's army were surrounded and disarmed. Then the Second Division and the Third Division announced their support for Premier Duan, while the President Li Yuanhong, who had lost his direct military support, was so angry that he vomited blood. Duan Qirui was considered to have completely controlled the situation in Beijing at this time.
But in this way, the fragile balance within the Beiyang was broken in an instant. Wang Shizhen, the old man in Beiyang, and Feng Guozhang sent a telegram in Tianjin to criticize Duan Qirui's rough approach. The Zhili generals including Henan Governor Cao Kun, the commander of the Third Division Wu Peifu, and the commander of the 11th Division Feng Yuxiang followed up to condemn Duan Qirui.
The incident escalated further. Because Duan Qirui directly issued an order to remove Cao Kun from the position of Henan Governor, Cao Kun did not accept the order at all. The Zhili army that received support from the south drove to Baoding area to assemble, and the Anhui army also gathered in the Beijing area. The war between Zhili and Anhui was immediately possible.
The outcome of this war is not something that Wang Zhenyu has to care about. His purpose of provoking this war is just for the two territories of Tibet and Xinjiang.
On June 6, 1917, two small warlords in Sichuan, Yang Sen and Liu Xiang, suddenly figured out why, and announced that they would support the Beijing Central Government. The Nanjing National Government naturally unceremoniously announced that the two Sichuan gangsters and their troops were traitors, and ordered the Wuhan Military Commission to organize the army to attack.
As rebels, Liu Xiang and Yang Sen did not seem to be a rebel. Without a single shot, one of them headed towards Tibet and the other fled towards Hanzhong. Following the two were about 60,000 old soldiers from Yunnan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, including 20,000 Liu Xiang and 40,000 Yang Sen.
These are all planned by Wang Zhenyu. What Wang Zhenyu is thinking about now is another problem, that is, Bai Chongxi's problem.
Although he was a time traveling clan, his army actually defeated the Germans in Europe. When this news reached his ears, Wang Zhenyu was indeed truly happy and proud. However, after being happy and proud, Wang Zhenyu suddenly realized a problem. Through this victory, Bai Chongxi's reputation and status in the army were immediately unprecedented. At least one national hero could not escape, which was like a general who beaten an American in North Korea in later generations.
Wang Zhenyu calmed down when he thought of this, and began to look for records about Bai Chongxi in his second life's memory.
The first impression is the burning ambition and desire in Bai Chongxi's eyes. This thing reminds Wang Zhenyu of the famous deputy commander in history. After all, Wang Zhenyu is only twenty-seven years old and has a long political life, so he is very disliked by what Bai Chongxi's eyes, and has always used his talents and not his ambitions.
The second impression is Bai Chongxi in history. In the infighting between the Kuomintang, he and Li Zongren once drove Chiang successfully and controlled the Nanjing government for more than a year. If it were not for the support of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium, Chiang might not be able to turn the tables. As a time traveling clan, Wang Zhenyu did not think that his personal ability was much better than those of Bai Chongxi, and even felt that it was not as good as it was. It had nothing to do with his ability now. It was just that he knew the direction of history and made accurate decisions several times. He had to say that there was something special, but he used historical celebrities like Bai Chongxi to help him win several key wars.
Fundamentally, Wang Zhenyu is also concerned about the use of historical celebrities, because anyone with great reputation in history has one thing in common. He is very enterprising in terms of praise, and ambitious in terms of derogatory meaning. Such people are often uneasy in their original position, so they are not easy to control.
Li Zongren married his sister, but Bai Chongxi already had a wife, so Wang Zhenyu thought about it and decided to suppress this kid, otherwise he would continue to win in Europe, and the expeditionary army would soon become the Bai family army.
Wang Zhenyu sent Chen Bulei to invite Yang Du. In fact, Yang Du and Yang Yongtai have completed their respective tasks and returned to Wuhan, but Wang Zhenyu did not invite Yang Yongtai because he found that Yang Yongtai, the little Zhuge, has not been very stable recently. He has been secretly interacting with Cheng Qian and others. He also relied on his identity as the Secretary-General of the Presidium of the Kuomintang and the Governor of Hubei Province, and began to interfere in personnel affairs, which is a bit like forming cliques.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps this is why Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Taizu in history wanted to kill the heroes. With the arrival of the harvest season, the ambitions and desires of these former confidants unconsciously expanded, and it is inevitable that they form cliques and private interests.
