Chapter 220 Ryukyu Province
,
spn〖Japanese〗, Emperor Palace, Chrysanthemum Pavilion.
Unlike the main hall "Matsuno Pavilion", which is the main venue for the royal family's activities and diplomatic etiquette, the Kikuno Pavilion is the land of the emperors who met with the ministers and discussed the local responsibilities of some major national affairs. Hirohito, the 124th emperor of Japan, was named Emperor Showa, and was also the actual behind-the-scenes envoy of the famous Showa warlords. At night, several important "government" officials came to the Emperor's Palace and waited for the reception.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you have lost a lot of weight. You have to endure humiliation and work hard on military and political affairs. It is really a blessing for my Japanese empire."
Standing at the bottom is the Japanese political elder Nishizoji Konomiya, a great figure in the Kazuno era, a favorite student of Hirofumi Ito, who once served as prime minister with Kazutaro, a disciple of Akito Yama Prefecture, for a long time. He is considered a real political tumbler in Japan.
"Xiyuan Temple, in the past two years, I have been bowing my head to the public and taking the lead in fundraising, but I am paying attention to the huge empire opposite that is on the road to revival."[
Facing this old minister, Hirohito seemed to have a good impression of him, waved his hand to signal him to do it, then looked in the direction west of the Chrysanthemum Pavilion and spoke of his worries.
"This ancient country was once prosperous during the Han and Tang dynasties, and even the empire had to cross the strait to pay tribute to them. It was a prosperous era when all nations came to pay tribute to them.
They are vast and have a wealth of resources, rich resources and a large population, and they own a large continent that the empire will always yearn for. The empire is shameful before they are brave. After the difficult Meiji Restoration, with the help of the three restoring masters, the empire gradually becomes stronger. In the words of the Chinese, when they are in the distance, the empire chooses the West. They always say that they use barbarians to control barbarians, but in fact, the method we take to control barbarians is also to control barbarians.
Fortunately, they failed and we succeeded. The victory of the Korean War and Sino-Japanese War completely established the position of leading the country in the East."
Nishiyuanji Gong nodded. This wise old man had an insight that is not comparable to that of the newcomers in the political arena in the contemporary world. "His Majesty the Emperor, according to a latest statistical report I have seen, before 1920, the empire was still ahead of China, whether it was economic indicators, industrial indicators, or even military, cultural, educational, and scientific indicators. However, with the rise of the southwest, the empire was quickly surpassed. Unconsciously, a large number of factories entered a desperate situation. After ten years of struggle, they began to go bankrupt in the 1930s.
At that time, like them, I did not pay attention to the Chinese people, thinking that this was just a global spread of the economic crisis and would always pass. However, now, European and American countries have begun to show signs of getting out of the economic crisis, and the various economic data of the empire in 1934 and 1935 showed a trend of continued decline under the circumstances of the armistice.
This can only show one situation. The Chinese on the empire side are already rising."
"Can you give me some advice?"
The King of Nishizoji looked silent for a long time, then he stretched out a hand from under the wide and long sleeves of the kimono, held a written booklet and presented it to the Emperor.
"His Majesty the Emperor, this is the economic development method that the old minister has come up with after two years of reflection and thinking."
Emperor Hirohito took the booklet, but after looking through the first page, he couldn't help but frown slightly. He remembered the information about Ryukyu that he had just received during the day and murmured to himself: "Do you cooperate with the Chinese to develop a new economy that China and Japan win-win? But, they are about to completely snatch Ryukyu..."
Hanjing, Head of State Office Center.
"The Chairman, the issue of Ryukyu has been dealt with almost the same." Luo Feng, the head of the security of the Head of State's Office Center, and the Minister of Special Information Department, is reporting to Zhang Shusheng about the situation of Ryukyu.
The Ryukyu Islands are a series of islands in the Pacific Ocean, located between Taiwan and Japan. They were an independent kingdom in the early years. In the 14th and 19th century, they paid tribute to the Ming and Qing governments of China, claiming to be subordinates, and the Ming and Qing governments also gave generous gifts. However, in 1879, the Japanese himself forcibly occupied the Ryukyu Islands and included this Ryukyu Kingdom, which could be called a vassal state of China, into the territory of the Japanese.
Speaking of Ryukyu, perhaps many people in later generations are not very familiar with it, but they are very familiar with Okinawa, one of its two main islands, because US troops are stationed there all year round. The US and Japanese military base in Okinawa is an important part of the blockade of China's first island chain.
In original history, the Japanese have been authorized to host the Ryukyu Islands, and the Ryukyu people and even the whole world have many voices supporting their independence.
The weak Chinese government not only did not seize the opportunity to bring Ryukyu into its arms, but also did not get a share of the armistice negotiations during World War II. In the past century, it not only had a complete relationship with Ryukyu, but even the closer Diaoyu Islands were invaded by Japanese invaders every few days.
Now, the Sino-Japanese War ended with the defeat and surrender of Japan. Although Japan himself did not pay any direct huge war reparations, anyone familiar with the inside story knows that in fact, Japan himself suffered great losses, especially the islands including the Diaoyu Islands and the Ryukyu Islands, which completely cut off a piece of flesh from Japan.
Therefore, during the armistice negotiations, Zhang Shusheng did not force the Japanese to take out many war reparations. A regime that was almost bankrupt was almost bankrupt. Instead of letting him go bankrupt now, it would be better to raise a little interest first. Therefore, the Diaoyu Islands and the Ryukyu Islands were taken over by "peacefully."
The Ryukyu issue is different from the Hanzhong Island in Nanyang. Although Ryukyu did have a good impression of China before, he was willing to continue to establish an independent kingdom and become a vassal state of China like before. However, most of his indigenous people in Bijian were very early Chinese, claiming to immigrate to Ryukyu in the thirty-six Han surnames of the Ming Dynasty. Although his recognition of China is higher than that of Japanese himself, it is definitely not as good as Hanzhong Island in Nanyang.
In the past two years, the staff of the Special Information Department put a lot of effort into Ryukyu and took all actions that were conducive to the final plan. At the end of 1933, they guided the Ryukyu people to complete the establishment of the Ryukyu "government". In 1934, they supported a Chinese descendant with a high degree of recognition in China to the top.
In 1935, Ryukyu officially launched a national political voting.
"Do a good job. When the voting results come out, if everything goes well, the "government" will send a deputy general manager to Ryukyu and officially announce the central order. The military also hums the corresponding arrangements. "The special intelligence department's agents there are, and the remaining task is to maintain the stability of Ryukyu." For some people who destroy the stability of Ryukyu Province, you know how to do it." Zhang Shusheng knew that the special intelligence department has done a lot of people there in the past two years, and they have also killed some people. Although from the perspective of personal emotions, he does not care much about such radical actions, from the perspective of the country and the nation, he acquiesced to the people of the special intelligence department to act like this. Some subsections that can achieve great things are inevitable.
After all, there are differences in places where there are people. China is not strong enough to make everyone feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. Ryukyu people also have some who are willing to live in island countries and establish themselves as kings. And such people are obviously not popular with China.
Zhang Shusheng also hopes to establish a naval base in Okinawa in the past two years. The submarine force is getting stronger and stronger, and always stays at home. It is better to go out for a walk if you have anything to do. One or two sea wolf squadrons will waste some diesel, block it at critical moments, and deter the southern part of Japan.
It is precisely because of the movement of the Special Intelligence Department in the past two years that Ryukyu has gone from its original independence to its current referendum.
According to the plan, Ryukyu will establish Ryukyu Province according to the Hanzhong Province model.
"Don't worry, Chairman, the Special Information Department will definitely ensure that Ryukyu is abnormal." Luo Feng knew that the Ryukyu affairs were completed. Although they had experienced some twists and turns, it was just a small task for the Special Information Department. The next task that was about to begin is the big task." "Chairman, Myanmar Jigo Xiao is about to be launched. Do you have anything to remind me?" "I have read your plan." I am very satisfied. I will add that you should spare any cost!!" Zhang Shusheng said firmly, "Myanmar will be the most important strategic point before World War II. Whether it can gain greater voice in the early stage of World War II and allow China to have a higher absolute advantage in World War II is very critical.
"Yes, I guarantee to complete the task!" Luo Feng saluted and was about to leave. But Zhang Shusheng suddenly called him, "Comrade Luo Chengjun performed very well in Myanmar. Once the Myanmar mission is completed, he will be awarded the rank of major general immediately. At that time, I will personally award him the rank of rank."
"Thank you, Chairman." Luo Feng stopped suddenly. The man in his forties suppressed the touch of his heart, turned around and saluted, and then left. In addition to the head of state's office center, he took out a small pocket watch from his arms, opened it with a snap, and there was a small photo inside. It was Luo Chengjun, the son of Luo Feng who had joined the Special Love Department since he was a child.
On April 13, 1935, under the joint supervision of the League of Nations, German representatives and Chinese representatives, King Mao Lihua of the Ryukyu Islands Kingdom announced that the referendum on "Several Issues Concerning the Joining of the People's Democratic Republic of China" by the Ryukyu Kingdom was true and effective. After the joint counting results of the representatives from multiple parties, the Ryukyu Kingdom officially submitted an application for joining the new China.
On April 15, 1935, just one day passed, Hu Xinglai, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Government, announced at an emergency press conference that he would accept the application for joining the Ryukyu Kingdom, and at the same time announced that the new Chinese Government would send a large Central delegation represented by Deputy General Secretary Wei Sancai and Deputy Foreign Minister Zhou Guolai to personally go to Ryukyu to complete the negotiations on various matters of Ryukyu joining China.
On April 16, 1935, the Central Delegation arrived in Ryukyu, and was welcomed by thousands of Ryukyu people in Ryukyu. The Ryukyu people sang and danced, and welcomed the Central Delegation. It also unusually welcomed the food, clothing, fresh water and medicines of the two 5,000-ton sea ships that arrived with the delegation at the same time.
In Ryukyu, the Central Delegation held in-depth negotiations with the Ryukyu Kingdom and properly negotiated and resolved military, economic, political and other issues.
After the plenipotentiary delegation returned the results of the negotiations to Hanjing, the Chinese government announced the final results of the Ryukyu issue.
1〖China accepted the application of Ryukyu to enter China, Ryukyu retained the honor of the royal family, and was currently a member of the descendants of King Mao Lihua and his family, and permanently served as honorary vice governor of Ryukyu Province. He also enjoyed a corresponding "government" subsidy.
2〖China established Ryukyu Province in Ryukyu and had all sovereignty.
3. The various policies of Ryukyu Province are used to refer to Hanzhong Province and use Hanzhong Special Economic Zone as the construction standard to carry out economic development and construction.
4 Fu Zuoyi served as the governor of Ryukyu Province, and Zhao Dengyu served as the commander of the Ryukyu Security Command.
Since then, in May 1935, the territory of the new China has expanded again. On the huge land of China, there are some soybean-sized islands on the Taiwan side.
Time has entered 1935, and history is rapidly advancing.[
