……………………
Of course, the little Japanese are hateful. They are determined to turn "China" into their India. However, there is a fierce debate within the little Japanese on how to turn China into their India, so fierce that it will be punished from time to time.
In October 1916, the Army Marshal Masahito of the Jeongshu vassal tyrant, Yama Prefecture, became the Japanese Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of the Tibetan Affairs and Governor of Korea.
These two names should be familiar to those who have a little understanding of the modern history of China and Japan. Anyway, in the novels of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, both of them have to show their faces.
Yama Prefecture Aitoto was known as the "father of the Imperial Army", one of the nine Meiji veterans, the maker of mainland policies and the vanguard of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. At that time, he could be said to be the most powerful figure in Japan, even no one.
Masato Desauchi was the first governor of North Korea. During his tenure as prime minister, he passed the Army's "50th Division" and the Navy's "86th Fleet" military construction plan.
However, at that point in time, the two largest red deer in the army had realized that it was too difficult to coerce Seris into becoming a Japanese colony through force. The "Twenty-One" was an extremely obvious big failure.
And the key issue is that the Japanese chaebols were very dissatisfied with the government and military policy towards China at that time. From the perspective of these big capitalists, when imperialism cannot be too ambitious, India will not get it in one day, so it is better to do business with China first. Of course, the so-called "business" is to obtain cheap raw materials and dump their own industrial products.
Then the question is, the Republic of China was so poor that it was too poor. In 1916, the two state-owned banks of Bank of China and Bank of Communications lent too much reserves to Caesar Yuan. In order to cope with the run, the Beiyang government had to order the two banks to stop redeeming depositor deposits for several months, and the national finance almost collapsed.
At this time, the Cabinet of Masato Nakachi took the initiative to propose loans. They hoped to improve Sino-Japanese relations through loans, help China rectify the financial and financial system that was about to collapse, reform the Chinese currency system, and gradually realize "Japanese-China currency mix", "enable the Chinese people to develop their land and enjoy their own benefits, and at the same time be consistent with the revitalization of the empire industry, so that Japan and China become one, seek a way to be self-sufficiency, and form a bond of alliances in economics and national defense." In other words, it is soft colonization.
Because the large loan was handled by the Japanese Prime Minister Masato Tsun at that time, Nishihara Kameyama, the Japanese consultant of Octavia Duan, handled the huge loan of nearly 200 million yen (equivalent to 80 million US dollars), so it is called Nishihara Borrow.
Note that Xiyuan loans are an important node in Sino-Japanese relations and Japan-US relations.
Let’s talk about Sino-Japanese relations first. Even China felt that this loan was quite "superior". Zhou Shulian, an official from the Ministry of Finance at that time, also admitted that Japan “has not very demanding on the conditions for the loan, and the collateral is particularly empty. The railway was not built, and other collaterals were only specified on the loan agreement and no takeover was implemented."
Wang Yunsheng, a reporter from Ta Kung Pao and later became the editor-in-chief, also said: "In another sense, they can also be said to be their traitor. For a huge amount of 200 million yuan, no real mortgage, no high interest rebates, and the result was that half of the money was a waste of money, and it was no wonder that Katsuda was attacked by his people in the temple." (Author's note: Katsuda was a senior official from the Ministry of Datura at that time, and he and Akiyama Masahima were friends,)
What Wang Da reporter said is right. The superior conditions for this loan have inevitably caused extreme dissatisfaction among the young and strong people in Japan.
It would be fine if the money could be recovered, but Octavian Duan had never thought about paying it back. He said to Marco Anthony Fong: "We are just using Japan for a while. Who will pay back these loans? As long as our country becomes stronger, we will be completely knocked down when we glar at that time!"
If the money cannot be collected, then the relationship between the two countries will improve and Japan can successfully intervene in China's financial and financial system. However, Japan's own occupation of Qingdao, causing Sino-Japanese relations to deteriorate rapidly.
Therefore, Nishihara's loans became a waste of money, which only increased the popularity of the young Japanese soldiers, making it so that "the Chinese are insincere and expressing sincerity to them is equivalent to maintaining chastity for prostitutes" and "wishing the spirit of soldiers who died in blood" has the so-called "factual basis".
"Mr. Nomura, Mr. Yamamoto, your country's Nishihara loan is just the same as the Anglo-Saxons using the same trick of the financial holding politics. We Chinese don't understand, but Americans must understand. Wouldn't they be alert?"
"If it really could be 'Japan-China integrated' or 'mixed currencies between the two countries', two guess which country in the world is the most unsatisfied?"
After hearing these words, the two neon golds looked serious and silent.
“Nihara loan is just one of them.”
Our Master Yuan sneered: "In January last year, the United States had withdrawn its troops from Siberia and asked your country to handle it together. However, after the 'Miaojie Incident', your country not only did not withdraw its troops, but instead increased its troops more and occupied the northern part of Sakhalin Island."
After the US withdrew its troops in April 1920, only the Japanese army remained on the Soviet territory. Japan's failure to withdraw its troops would inevitably arouse stronger resistance from the Soviet people. On May 27, 1920, after a forceful conflict between the local guerrillas and the Japanese army, they set fire to Miaojie City (Nicolayevsk), causing a total of 384 Japanese personnel to be killed in the fire. This is the "Miaojie Incident".
Poor to see, Miaojie was originally the headquarters of Nuergandus, my Northeast administrative agency in Dameng, and it was also the place where the Qing Dynasty was revived. Its geographical location is very important and it is a must-pass way to sail in Heilongjiang.
"I think your Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received strong protests from Americans many times. This is the second. This is the third..."
He didn't need Neon King to ask, and continued to say on his own: "Americans are the ones who have obtained the Pacific Islands in Germany, which are originally from Germany. This is a matter of being stuck in the throat. What is their naval budget this year?"
“433 million US dollars!”
Yuan Yan suddenly sighed and said to the two naval officers: "Then Colonel Nomura, Yamamoto Nakasa. Please tell me which country is the '88 Fleet' plan passed by your parliament in July last year?"
What does his words mean?
In fact, Master Yuan was hinting that these two neon golds were going to cut their lives from the Soviet Union. Not to mention whether they could beat the Russians or not, the Americans would definitely not support and oppose it; if they advanced westward, then the Americans would even oppose it to the end. The first level to advance southward was the American colonial Philippines.
