Chapter 14 Japan is booming

Japan.

Empire Capitol.

The Senate and House members gathered together, wearing suits and robes, sat upright and waited intently. The second floor was filled with important people in the military, political and financial circles. Everyone looked at the royal private room on the side of the second floor, waiting for the visit of the supreme kingdom of God.

"The Great Japanese Empire, a series of all ages, His Majesty Meiji, arrive!"

With a loud singing ceremony, everyone in the audience stood up, bowed neatly forty-five degrees, stood up and shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor!"

The 53-year-old Emperor Meiji has once again worn the famous 6 Navy Grand Marshal's dress today. The golden chrysanthemum on his shoulders shines, and the chrysanthemum Grand Marshal's collar on his shoulders is even more dazzling! His Majesty Meiji, who was lingering in his past, is energetic today, with a red face, his eyes open and closed like lightning, and his expression is like the guardian king in the shrine. He is powerful without anger! The Meiji Emperor who resolutely reformed and founded the foundation of the imperial country, once again led the four islands of Japan!

The elders and important officials who were accompanying the side looked up at the living Japanese god, and their hearts were filled with emotions. Although this emperor was just the Xibei gift supported by the rebellion ancestors, he was unexpectedly wise and courageous. Over the years, the monarch and ministers have a deep righteousness and a strong grace. They had to admit that His Majesty the Emperor had long been the true highest authority of this country. And they were willing to obey the emperor, as long as... the other party's actions did not destroy the interests of the rebellion of Japan.

Emperor Meiji's face was filled with solemnity.

This is an extremely persevering person with a will. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, in order to defeat Beiyang, this person publicly issued a meal a day. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, Meiji was shocked and angry and vomited blood and fainted. From then on, he was very poor, but he resolutely built a temporary residence imperial library and proposed that he would never go back to the bedroom if he did not defeat China! For ten years, the emperor has been froze and hungry in the temporary residence, suffering from wind and rain. In the eyes of Japan, this Majesty is using his sincerity to move Amaterasu and give Japan a blessing!

In today's Japan, Emperor Meiji is a living god.

Emperor Meiji glanced at the audience and the sound of the crane sounded.

"All ministers and officials are at peace."

The attendant, the Duke of Changdeji, loudly conveyed the Emperor's order, and everyone sat down in awe.

Senate Speaker Marquis Shimoshao Hinata sat upright on the platform and said loudly: "The Great Japanese Empire Congress, the plenary session, will begin now."

"Today, a joint proposal was proposed by 56 members of the Senate, attached to all members of the Cabinet, approved by His Majesty the Emperor, and the editor-in-chief of "Friends of the People" and the famous thinker Mr. Tomoto Sufeng was invited to give a speech to you, entitled "The Great Japan Expansion Theory". Below, please invite Mr. Tomoto Sufeng."

As soon as Defu Sufeng appeared, the whole audience was in a big uproar.

This famous Japanese thinker who has always been wearing a suit and ties on formal occasions and has repeatedly called for "leaving Asia and entering Europe" over the years, is a royalist giant, but today he is wearing a kimono, wearing wooden clogs, and a standard traditional Japanese outfit.

Everyone looked at the royal box, but saw that the important officials below the Emperor ignored them, confused, but they could only applaud. For a moment, the applause was thunderous, and everyone stared at the "godfather" of the Japanese ideological world with eager eyes. Some anti-war MPs looked pale. They had already felt the reversal of the top-down wind direction at the top of the country, and they were also very clear about what the arrangements for all this today meant.

Japan really wants to bet on national destiny again.

Defu Sufeng, who is only 42 years old this year, has long been famous in the Japanese archipelago.

He was the most outstanding reformist thinker in Japan after Fukuzawa Yukiki.

Twenty years ago, he vigorously advocated leaving Asia and entering Europe, proposing that Japan must defeat China and North Korea, master East Asia's fortune, and use it as capital to move closer to Western powers and join the club of the great powers. In the 18894-1895, he was the behind-the-scenes driver of the war against China, and wrote many radical articles and became famous in Japan. When Japan was defeated in the 1895-1895, he also called on the Japanese nation to firmly support the emperor, unite and strive to unite the great powers to divide China. His remarks are not only regarded as the criterion for radical citizens of the middle and lower classes, but are also regarded as a sage by the upper ruling group, and were appreciated by the emperor.

Four years ago, Fukuzawa Yukiki passed away, and Tomo Sufeng fully took over the relay of ideological authority. Today, his status in Japan is not even lower than that of all the restorative veterans! But in Tomo Sufeng's view, these are far from enough. In Japan, there are many people, especially the believers of Nakae Joseph, who strongly oppose Japan's sending troops to the Great Sixth and oppose the war against the branch. If the people's thoughts cannot be unified, this national war will inevitably be constrained. Once there is a turmoil, there may be an anti-war countercurrent within Japan!

Defu Sufeng has already put his life honor and disgrace on defeating China and establishing the East Asian order dominated by Japan. In his opinion, completely overwhelming all heresy in the ideological world and establishing the "imperialism" he has always dreamed of is the top priority!

Now, the time has finally come.

Defu Sufeng stood on the podium and bowed deeply to the audience, with a very solemn face.

"Your Majesty, dear elders, cabinet lords, dear members, and citizens: Today, I am in a very heavy mood."

"As we all know, His Majesty the Emperor of China was suddenly assassinated a few days ago, and then the China was in trouble. The whole country was sacred. Although the Empire had a bad relationship with China over the years and had met in war, I was deeply saddened when I heard the news. The tragedy is that the Asian nation and the Chinese nation have lost a great man!"

Everyone in the audience listened quietly.

"The Asian nation has been conservative and self-confessed for many years. Only when Europeans come to the east and gunboat policy has opened the doors of the countries in East Asia, and even backward countries have become colonization places for great powers. It can be seen that the world is in a vast world, leaving Asia and entering Europe, and restoring and advancing is the right way to survive."

"Fortunately, our empire was given the rebellious decisiveness of His Majesty the Emperor, and the restoration of the wise men rose up and took the lead in reforming the reform. Then, the founding of the country, and the atmosphere of East Asia was renewed. Now that the death of the Emperor Zheng Ying was in the country, the fortune of China is 1. It is unknown whether it is necessary to maintain the civilization of East Asian races. Only the great Japanese Empire!"

"Since the Emperor's death, he has experienced storms and hardships, and even defeated the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, he has been lying on firewood and tasting gall to sharpen his sword for ten years! It can be seen that the heavenly will give great responsibilities to this country, and he will first suffer his mind and mind, tired his muscles and bones, starve his body, and empty his body, and then gain what he cannot do! What I said today is that the heavenly poses heavy responsibilities to the empire, and the empire has to expand for itself, promote the advanced civilization of the empire, illuminate Asia, and save the fortune of Asia's civilization!"

"Twelve years ago, I wrote an article that pointed out that my great Japanese Empire is the Roman Empire in Asia today. Just like the influence of ancient Rome on the Mediterranean countries, the Japanese nation has the obligation to popularize civilization in East Asian countries and the South Pacific region. This is because among the people of East Asian countries, only our Japanese nation has political and organizational capabilities, and only our Japanese nation has the concept of nationality."

"In the 1895 period, our army was frustrated, but it still retained North Korea. Over the years, with the support of our empire, the progress of Korean civilization has been going on and off, and it is obvious to all. It can be a model for the future reform of Asian countries! In the past, friendly countries have often praised the constitutional system of China. However, today, the government of China is still in constant internal struggle, and its people are divided and there is no national identity, and there is no strict discipline. Today, China's heroes have gone, and internal wars are met, and it is inevitable that people will die! Therefore, today, our responsibility for Japan has to be extended to the Chinese people!"

"Although patriots in China have said that our empire should promote the prestige of the country, why is this so? There are many different opinions. Some people say that they are inspiring the spirit of the people, some say that they greatly boost the power of His Majesty the Emperor, and some say that they take the wealth of other people for themselves. Today, I am not talented and dare to propose the theory of expansion of the great Japanese. Please correct me."

When everyone heard this, they were all excited and looked at the man who spoke in shocking thoughts.

"We, Japan, stands on the coast of the East China Sea, is the divine kingdom of sunrise in the east. However, the history of our country in the past few hundred years has been a history of shrinking and a history of constant decline in the country. Restors are self-improvement, and the divine kingdom of self-improvement, and the history of the next few hundred years will inevitably expand."

"It's like the terrain, with deep valleys under the mountains and openness after retreat. Today we have walked through the closed tunnel and entered the open world. For more than 30 years of the founding of the Reformation, our citizens are like wild horses that have broken away from their bridles and fierce vultures, trying to exercise boldly."

"Everyone, Japan climbed the Great Sixth in China today, just like salmon and trout swim from the river to the sea, and then from the sea to the river, just like swallows and geese, migrating and transferring every day and autumn. It is a natural thing - where did our Yamato people come from? It is impossible to make clear assertions yet. Originally, in our country, there was a saying of going north and south to guard the south, and these meant returning to some place in our hometown. The whole fact is that we are moving north and south, and then south and north; it is Davis and geese. It is also expanding and spreading so much that we return to the hometown of our ancestors. I see that the state of our Yamato people is like swallows, like geese, like salmon, like trout, each carrying out instinctive actions."

"In the past, the Japanese nation has been guarding Japanese islands like salamanders and straw worms for a long time. It was not destined to be like this. On the contrary, the Japanese nation was originally a race of Xiongfei's world, but unfortunately the opportunity was not mature. In other words, the training of Xiongfei was too long. Now, after experiencing suffering, especially the tempering of the Sino-Japanese War, our Japanese nation is still reborn from cocoons, turning from insect feathers to butterflies, and flying in the sky."

Defu Sufeng's voice replied in the wide parliamentary hall, adding a deafening effect. Everyone present was intoxicated by the hearing. Konomi Atsuma glanced at the people beside him and sighed softly in his heart.

"As for race, I once suggested that the Japanese were originally descendants of the race of the celestial race. Their destiny was destined to step on the waves and seek a new home between the North and the Antarctic. The Japanese were a maritime nation. The ancestors of the Japanese regarded Hong Tao as like a plain and wilderness. They took a boat to break, just like walking on the plain. And what we should do and have to do in the future is nothing more than repeating what our ancestors did three thousand years ago."

"I published a "Japan Population Increase Budget Table" last year. According to my calculations, Japan's population will increase to more than 130 million in the next forty years. By then, the proportion of my country's population to existing territory will be at a clear disadvantage compared with that of European countries."

"Today's situation is that the country is crowded, and two people need to live in a room with a six-bedroom mat, and the annual increase of more than one million people. If this is added, it will inevitably reach the point where people are piled up. If we want to maintain the current population to area ratio in our country, we will increase the territory of 10,000 square kilometers every year, which is equivalent to adding the land area of ​​three Omi countries. If we cannot increase, it is equivalent to taking away the three Omi countries by others. The proportion of the new territory must exceed the proportion of population increase year by year. That is, in the next forty years, if the country cannot expand its territory as such, the proportion of today's population to land, especially our food and resource supply, will be difficult to maintain. The citizens of the imperial country will always face the threat of hunger and disease!"

"When water is full, it overflows, and it flows, and the operation of the population is the same. What's more, our country is on the thoroughfare of the world, and it has the advantage of time and place. How can we tie ourselves up and not let our mouths expand in all directions? In today's world, from my perspective, the only ones with the power of expansion are Western whites, we, and China."

"White Western people are like ice, a species that is afraid of heat and does not adapt to climate. However, Japan can adapt to various hot and cold climates, and in this regard, Westerners are not enough to become Japan's opponents. Therefore, in the future, Japan's biggest enemy will not be Westerners, but Chinese."

"Don't forget the Chinese race," Defu Sufeng continued, "The Chinese race, in a sense, is like our country's citizens, even more able to endure the test of multiple climates than our country's citizens. While maintaining its inherent qualities, it can also adapt to different situations. Now, from south to north, whether it is six places or oceans, the Chinese are our tenacious enemies. Therefore, the future history is the history of the expansion of the Great Japanese Empire, that is, the expansion of the Japanese and Chinese nations, the two races, and their conflicts all over the world."

"Since we have made it clear that the expansion of the Great Japanese Empire is inevitable, and the Chinese are our biggest and most direct enemies, then we must seize the opportunity, defeat this enemy, and split their country that is in harmony with one's own appearance! I boldly believe that now is a rare opportunity! Opportunities are rare, opportunities are easily lost! What is a good opportunity? There is no doubt that it is an opportunity for Japan to start a war with China. In other words, it is a good opportunity for the inflated Japan to carry out expansion activities."

"The Chinese people once established a unified nation-state under the command of that emperor, and once dominated the fortune of East Asia. But their nature was free and casual, everyone was self-righteous, had no national concept, was right and wrong, and were extremely hypocritical. Such a nation could not bear the important task of reinforcing East Asia! Such an enemy is also something that our empire should and can completely defeat!"

"Now, the Chinese nation has rebelled and suffered a lot of people. All of the Chinese nations are Asian races. Our empire should save it from water and fire, and use the empire's unity and enterprising civilization to cleanse its decay and decayed blood. I remind all the citizens, Japanese politicians, to take advantage of this good opportunity to make the country a leap, and at the same time engrave their reputation on the first page of the history of national expansion!"

"We are not isolated in this war. The Russians are about to start a war against China. With the strength of the two countries, they will fight against China, which is more than 1 within the country. This Japanese-Chinese war is an opportunity for the rise and fall of Japan's national destiny. After the victory, Japan can establish its position in the world, firmly occupy the leadership position in East Asia, and realize the thousand-year dream of the empire. Everything is here!"

"Everyone! From the perspective of the following, if the war cannot begin, the momentum of our Japanese empire will inevitably turn into decline, and Japan will inevitably repeat the mistake of shrinking!"

"If there is no war, there are five harms:

First, the empire will be at a disadvantage in front of China, and from then on, the Chinese people will become powerful and the empire will become a colony;

Second, the foreign envoys from the Empire died in China, but the Empire was humiliated and seeking peace. All prestige in front of the Koreans would be lost, and North Korea would not be guaranteed;

Third, in the East, no one in the world will take our country seriously, and our country is completely inadequate to be their opponent;

Fourth, the people will have reactions, and they will have fierce reactions, and even public opinion will be boiling;

Fifth, China, Britain, the United States, and other countries have taken the opportunity to expand Asian power. In addition to being claustrophobic in their own country, Japan has completely lost its foothold in other places."

"Everyone, since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Empire has controlled North Korea and has embarked on the way to return to Great Six! The Imperial ideal, the dream of returning to Great Six, has never been extinguished for thousands of years. The defeat of Fengtaige North Korea is nothing more than the lack of national power. Now, His Majesty the Emperor has revolutionized his fortune, and his country is booming, and he has firmly controlled North Korea. As long as Japan and Russia work together to take advantage of the decline of China's Heavenly Blessings, launch a large-scale kingship, defeat China, and the empire's kingdom to rule Asia is irreversible! Japan, which has been shrinking for five hundred years, jumped into an inflated Japan, and its opportunities lie in this moment! You guys! You guys! I am awake! The future of our great Japanese people, eight million ancestors and gods, is in your mind!"

At this moment, the congressmen, chaebols, political stakes, and especially soldiers, who were incited by this grand statement, had already stood up and applauded, and even cheered, completely ignoring the loss of composure in front of the emperor. The emperor, who had always been calm, was slightly moved and applauded gently when he saw this scene. Seeing this scene, the atmosphere in the audience became even more fanatical.

Marquis Hisuka Shimoshao had a stern face, waiting for the noise of the audience to subside gradually. He hit the wooden hammer a few times, and everyone sat down, and the audience was silent again.

"Next, please invite the imperial minister, Duke Hirofumi Ito to speak."

Hirobu Ito, who was wearing a suit and tie, was wearing a ribbon and was full of medals, and was majestic and proud.

"Dear members and citizens: I am very impressed by Defugong's grand statement just now. There is no doubt that this represents some of the public opinion among our people. As representatives of the people, we must pay attention to it."

"The relationship between the Japanese and Chinese schools has been many ups and downs in recent years. Recently, the empire, in a good-neighborly and friendly attitude and the concept of maintaining peace, sent envoys to communicate the peace between the two countries. Unfortunately, China and the empire's opinions were completely different, and it was difficult to make progress. In this incident, the Chinese soldiers were violent and rude. Not only were the Chinese foreign personnel killed, but the empire's envoys brutally killed! This matter is related to the honor and disgrace of the empire, and the empire's politics has been solemnly protested."

He paused and said solemnly: "However, I hope to remind you that the reason why we repeatedly proposed to China, and even deteriorated in relations between the two countries, and even prepared to face the sudden war, is that the empire needs to maintain the national order in East Asia. As a brotherly country in the empire, the Qing Empire, its hometown in the northeast was seized by the Chinese Empire of the Han people! Therefore, the empire's jack is entirely for the Manchu people, for the territorial sovereignty of the Qing Dynasty, for the justice and justice of the world, and for the imperial land of the empire's great East Asia!"

"Therefore, today I will solemnly propose two proposals to you, on behalf of the cabinet: the first item, the imperial government will officially revise the original defense alliance treaty with the Russian Empire into a mutually assisted military alliance! The specific proposals are already divided among you! The second item, the Qing Empire has officially made a request to re-sign a military alliance with the Great Japanese Empire, and the specific proposals are also divided among you! In addition, I would like to notify you that the imperial government will soon give a solemn message to China and ask it to give a quick reply: whether to agree to return Manchuria to the legal government of the Qing Empire, that is, the Qing Empire's political government of His Majesty Emperor Guangxu. If it cannot reply within the specified time, it will be deemed to be rejected. If the Japanese-Qing military alliance is approved, the Great Japanese Empire will have the right to take action to assist the Qing Empire in upholding justice!"

After Hirofumi Ito said, there was already a thunderous cheer in the venue. Many congressmen and soldiers even stood up, and the applause and cheers seemed to be about to collapse the entire Empire Capitol! Many soldiers' eyes were red and they looked at each other excitedly nodded.

"You guys, the Japanese Empire, finally got on the right track!"

"It's right, no one can stop the Japanese Empire from coming to Asia anymore!"

"Mr. Shanxian! Have you heard your spirit in heaven? You can just ask for your grudge!"

"Your lord Ito, you are in the sky, so be sure to bless the Imperial Navy! The shame of the Bohai Sea of ​​the United Fleet, I will wash the snow with my own hands!"

"Imperial on board! The Great Japanese Empire on board!"

Many anti-war people, infected by this fanatical atmosphere, also showed excitement and determination on their faces, and began to cheer and applaud. But there were still many people, although they also stood up and applauded, there was a little bitterness and reluctance between their eyebrows, and their eyes were solemn.

Emperor Meiji slowly stood up, Marquis Beesuka Shimoshao waved the wooden hammer, and the noise in the field gradually subsided. Everyone stood up and stood up and turned to the royal private room in unison.

Emperor Meiji's eyes swept through the excited faces, but the expression on his face was like a calm bottomless deep pool. After a long time, Emperor Meiji stood at attention with a straight military posture, and performed an extremely solemn military salute!

The Emperor looked around with awe, and this scene was deeply frozen in the minds of many people.

All differences seemed to be insignificant. Everyone present, whether civil servants or soldiers, had tears in their eyes, and they all stood attentively and saluted, like an army that was about to embark on the battlefield, in awe and solemn silence.

Waiting for that gorgeous and intense explosion.

I'm the dividing line of history

At this moment, Tokyo, Hibiya Park.

Hundreds of thousands of Tokyo citizens gathered in the park to form a sea of ​​people. People waved the Sun Banner flag in their hands affectionately. In the crowd, the person with white headbands and bamboo knife with his head hips and waists looked furious, and he glanced around and kept signaling each other.

On the stage, Uchida Ryohei was holding a loudspeaker in his hand and making a speech.

"... Over the years, our 40 million people have been lying on firewood and tasting gall. You work hard and serve the staff and donated the little money you saved to our imperial kingdom! Today, the power of the imperial kingdom is yours, and my most beloved national!"

"Seeing the great Japanese Empire, which is rising today, I have to think of the respectable citizens who worked hard overseas and sent foreign exchange back to the country; I have to think of the sisters who sacrificed themselves for the prosperity of the country in Siberia, America and Southeast Asia, and exchanged their youthful bodies for foreign exchange, our new daughter! I have to think of the six naval athletes who climbed ice and lie down in snow, trained day and night, and prepared to devote themselves to the empire! I have to think of the six naval athletes who worked hard in factories, worked hard in farmland, paid taxes, donated money, and sent their children to the army! It is you who created the empire today!"

The audience was already sobbing. Thinking of the unimaginable suffering and torture over the years, everyone's heart was filled with unstoppable anger and fanaticism.
To be continued...
