Chapter 158 Japan's Visit (1)

Just when the delegation to visit Germany from East China ** left Shanghai by boat, the ship of the Japanese visiting delegation led by Japanese Prime Minister Hiromori Ito also approached Qingdao. The two sides communicated several times through the Japanese Consulate in Qingdao, which basically determined the tone and matters of the visit. Overall, it was carried out smoothly. Of course, this was also because Japan put its attitude very low and did not deliberately set any obstacles. So Hiromori Ito immediately decided to visit the East China ** to restore the normal relationship between the two sides.

Hirobu Ito stood on the side of the ship and looked towards Qingdao. He saw that there were a lot of high and low buildings on the coastline, with masts standing in the port, and the ships entering and leaving were shuttled back and forth, Yanran was like a modern port city. Hirobu Ito felt very touched. The East China ** occupied Qingdao for only 6 or 7 years, and it was a complete transformation of the island.

Although Qingdao was rented by Germany before this, Germany did not spend a long time in Qingdao, and only two years have passed. Although Germany has also carried out some construction in Qingdao, the current status of Qingdao can basically be regarded as a contribution to East China. It can also be seen from this that the veterans' ability to govern the country.

Once East China unified the entire China and combined the elders' ability to govern the country with China's huge manpower and material resources, there was still a foothold in Japan. Thinking of this, Hirofumi Ito couldn't help but remember that before leaving Japan, he had a conversation with Naotao Miyamoto. Naotao Miyamoto once said that Japan's tragedy was that it was too far from heaven and too close to China. Therefore, if Japan wants to rise, it can only take advantage of China's weakness, otherwise there would be no chance at all.

Hirofumi Ito has been thinking about Naotao Miyamoto's words on the ship these days, and he has to admit that although this passage is very cruel, it does reveal the fact that before the establishment of East China **, Japan was able to rise on the Qing court because of the weakening of the Qing court. Once China embarked on the right path and began to become prosperous and strong, Japan basically had no chance to make a comeback. After all, China's territory, manpower and material resources are far superior to Japan. Although East China ** has not unified the entire China yet, the actual land and population controlled by the actual control far exceeds Japan. It can be said that simply fighting with national strength, Japan is not the opponent of East China **. The only opportunity is that East China ** has not yet completed unification. When East China ** is completing national unification in the future, it will inevitably restrain a lot of energy. How Japan uses this only window period to recognize research, after all, this is Japan's last chance.

Just when Hirofumi Ito was thinking of being conscious, a secretary came over and handed it to Hirofumi Ito a folder and said, "Prime Minister, a telegram from Tokyo."

Hirobu Ito opened the folder and saw that it was a telegram introducing the situation in Japan. People marches against the people in big cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe, and even riots. As protesters gathered at the doors of Tokyo, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other institutions, threw stones, debris, etc., and clashed with the police who maintained order, causing many bloodshed. So far, 11 people have died in the conflict and more than 150 have been arrested.

Even Hirofumi Ito's mansion was besieged by protesters. Fortunately, the police arrived at the extreme and dispersed the crowds. Hirofumi Ito's family was not hurt. Under the arrangement of the cabinet, Hirofumi Ito's family had been transferred to a safe place to resettle, and police force was added to protect it. Hirofumi Ito asked Hirofumi Ito to rest assured.

After reading the telegram, Hirofumi Ito also sighed. Although Hirofumi Ito expected that his resolution would be opposed by domestic public opinion before deciding to visit East China **, Hirofumi Ito expected that his resolution would be opposed by domestic public opinion, but the strong public opinion of this protest still made Hirofumi Ito a little unexpected.

It turned out that Hirofumi Ito's visit to the East China ** was very different from the last armistice negotiations. The last time the People's Army landed in Japan, burning the war to Japan. Moreover, Japan had fought for more than two years, and domestic information was almost completely exhausted, and the people's lives were extremely poor. In this case, although Japan admitted defeat and asked for compensation for compensation was humiliated, it was able to end the war and restore life to stability. Therefore, although most people were not satisfied with the resolution of **, the opposition was not strong.

Now Japan has recovered stability. Although the quality of life has not yet returned to before the Far East War, there is no threat of war. Moreover, after the end of the Far East War, Japan has tried its best to shape East China into an irreconcilable enemy in order to get rid of the blame, creating a united heart and a shared hatred for the enemy. Therefore, the increased hatred for East China politics has been implanted into the hearts of every Japanese. Now that Japan wants to surrender to East China again, it will definitely arouse widespread public anger.

Although the cabinet officials could understand Hirofumi Ito’s resolution, the officers of the middle and lower levels did not have such high judgment. Moreover, the Japanese *** cannot explain the true purpose of Hirofumi Ito’s resolution too clearly, so they can only use the means of suppression. After all, Japan is still a society with relatively strong hierarchical concepts. Although the forceful suppression of the middle and lower levels of officials and officers’ voices in the ***, it cannot suppress their anger and dissatisfaction. They cannot speak out in the ***, but can only vent their opinions. In addition, the propaganda of newspapers and media, it quickly triggered public dissatisfaction among the Japanese people about Hirofumi Ito’s visit to the East China **.

When Ito Hirofumi boarded the ship from Tokyo, tens of thousands of people gathered at the dock to protest, which even impacted the police's blockade, attempting to prevent Ito Hirofumi and his party from boarding the ship, making Ito Hirofumi only change from another dock to board the ship on the sea. However, Ito Hirofumi did not expect that after a few days, the public opinion in Japan not only did not calm down, but instead became increasingly fierce. But now Ito Hirofumi is on the verge of the string and has to fire because he can't turn the bow back. Moreover, this visit to East China ** is also of great importance to Japan. Although it was indeed a little humiliating, it was a little unbearable and he was in a mess. For the long-term interests of Japan, this visit must be carried out to the end, and it can only succeed and not fail. I just hope that by using this visit to East China **, the UK will force the UK to return the tariff rights to Japan, which will not be in vain. This humiliation will be a big deal for Japan, and it can also restore its reputation.

Although it was possible to see the land on the ship, it was more than two hours later when the ship actually arrived at the dock. When Ito Hiromoto and his team came down from the ship, Qin Zheng came forward to welcome their arrival at the dock. Although Ito Hiromoto's main purpose of this time, it was an apology for the Japanese Army intelligence personnel to participate in the attack on the disaster resettlement camp, it was an official visit to the East China. Moreover, Ito Hiromoto is the Japanese Prime Minister. East China still cannot neglect the etiquette, and there is no need to deliberately neglect Ito Hiromoto and his team in these irrelevant trivial matters. It is meaningless to do so.

This is not the first time Qin Zheng and Hirobuki Ito have met, because during the Shanghai negotiations almost a year ago, the two of them were their own clothes and were familiar with each other, so there is no need to introduce them too much.

After meeting, Hirobuki Ito was still as respectful as during the negotiations in Shanghai. He bowed deeply to Qin Zheng and said, "Speaker Qin has always been good."

Qin Zheng also bowed and said, "Hello, Prime Minister Ito. On behalf of East China **, I welcome you and wish your visit a success."

Hirobu Ito hurriedly said: "Thank you for your kindness. I hope my visit will strengthen the understanding and mutual trust between Japan and East China, thereby establishing friendly and cooperative relations between the two sides, so that Japan and East China will truly become friendly neighbors."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "As long as we work together, I believe this goal is achievable."

After saying politely, Qin Zheng placed Hirofumi Ito. The next day, according to the agenda of this visit, Hirofumi Ito first held talks with Huohai. During the talks, Hirofumi Ito officially apologized on behalf of Japan for the Japanese Army intelligence personnel to participate in the attack on the disaster resettlement camp. He also severely punished the parties involved and also compensated 300,000 yen for the East China **.

At the same time, Hirobuki Ito also stated that this incident was the result of the private actions of Japanese army intelligence personnel and did not represent the attitude of Japan. Of course, Japan should bear a major responsibility for the lack of strict supervision of the Army Department. Therefore, Japan will strengthen supervision of the Army Department in the future and ensure that similar things will not happen again. Hirobuki Ito stood up and bowed deeply to Natsubo and apologized.

It should be said that Hirobuki Ito's statement has been very in place. Not only did he formally admit his mistakes, but he also admitted that Japan was the party to the fault, but he also had compensation. Although 300,000 yen was not much, the terrorist attack was not successful. There was no actual loss in East China. Guan Jian was still the attitude of Japan. After all, in the old time and space, Japan was known for not admitting his mistakes even if he was beaten to death. Therefore, it is indeed very good to have such a result now.

Since Japan has expressed a low attitude, Xia Bohai certainly cannot be too much. Therefore, in his speech, he first affirmed Japan's attitude and recorded the exchanges between China and China in history, such as Jianzhen's eastward transition and sent Tang envoys, and of course, he also avoided the hostile moments of China and Japan in history. Finally, he wished that East China and Japan could move towards peace from then on and become friendly neighbors, etc.
