Beiyang reactionaries

Especially Yoshiichi Tanaka.

Yoshiichi Tanaka is no ordinary Japanese prime minister.Tanaka Yoshiichi is the most powerful Japanese Prime Minister after the Meiji Restoration.After Yoshiichi Tanaka became prime minister, he has been increasing the power of the cabinet.In particular, his rectification of the police system allowed the Japanese police system to integrate with the Japanese secret service agencies, and greatly enhanced the cabinet's control over the country.Even when the military headquarters established the base camp, Yoshiichi Tanaka was the only person who entered the leadership of the base camp as the prime minister of the cabinet.In other words, Yoshiichi Tanaka was the prime minister who really let the cabinet reach into the military field after the Meiji Restoration in Japan.

He is a truly powerful prime minister in Japanese history.

The Japanese military has a special status in the Japanese political arena. All the previous cabinet prime ministers had nothing to do with the military.Because according to the Japanese constitution, if the army is angry, it will order the minister of the army or the minister of the navy to resign.And once the Minister of War or the Minister of the Navy resigns, and does not recommend other people to serve as the Minister of the Army or the Secretary of the Navy, then the cabinet that lacks the Minister of the Army or the Minister of the Navy can only be dissolved.It is because of such power that the Japanese army is able to kidnap the cabinet, and the prime minister of the cabinet has nothing to do with them.However, after Tanaka Yoshiichi became the Prime Minister of Japan, although the strength of the Japanese army is also rapidly expanding, such a situation has not occurred until now.

In terms of controlling the Japanese army, Yoshiichi Tanaka, the prime minister, is definitely the best among Japanese prime ministers.It is precisely because of this that Yoshiichi Tanaka is the first person to serve as Prime Minister of Japan for ten consecutive years since the Meiji Restoration.His influence in Japan's modern history can only be compared with that of Ito Hirobumi in his early years.

Such a prime minister is attacked, which will greatly affect Japanese politics.

It is estimated that the entire Japanese political arena will be turbulent.

After all, an accident happened to a political strongman like Yoshiichi Tanaka, and the power space left by him will inevitably become the target of competition among powerful factions in Japan.There are many political forces who are dissatisfied with a powerful cabinet prime minister like Yoshiichi Tanaka.Including the aristocratic faction, the veteran faction, and the political party faction, all political forces do not like Tanaka Yoshiichi.It's just that Tanaka Yoshiichi has a superb wrist, and he has the support of the emperor, so everyone has nothing to do.

Now that Tanaka Yoshiichi is being attacked, it is estimated that all political forces will be happy.More importantly, the military, which has been suppressed by Tanaka Yoshiichi, will definitely take this opportunity to try its best to get rid of the control of the cabinet.

So Dai Kan's first question was about the life and death of Tanaka Yoshiichi.

"I don't know."

"How could this happen."

Dai Kan couldn't figure it out.

Dao: "After Yoshiichi Tanaka became the Prime Minister of Japan, he has done a good job in the face of such a responsible situation in Japan. During the Great Depression, Yoshiichi Tanaka's decisive decision made Japan's economy out of crisis. And Japan gradually eroded The Nanyang region now controls most of Nanyang. When French Indochina is taken over from France, the entire Nanyang will be under the control of Japan. And Japan has completed these without major chaos or major incidents. Crisis. It can be said that Yoshiichi Tanaka is one of the best prime ministers in Japan after the Meiji Restoration.”

"It's not impossible."

Yang Wei spoke.

Said: "Continuous victories have allowed the Japanese military to continue to expand, and their hearts are already very inflated. They already have a lot of dissatisfaction with Tanaka Yoshiichi's suppression. Including dissatisfaction with Tanaka Yoshiichi's foreign policy. Army General Sugiyama Yuan Ke publicly criticized Tanaka Yoshikazu for his patience and concessions to the United States, and believed that Tanaka Yoshiichi’s actions were humiliating to the country. I heard that the recent discussions between China and Japan on the southern Sakhalin Island and Taiwan issues also made many radicals Young Japanese officers are not satisfied."

The contradiction between Tanaka Yoshiichi and the army is also growing.

In particular, there are great contradictions with some radicals.Tanaka Yoshiichi suppressed the military radicals and supported the military moderates.For example, Ishihara Wanji was highly regarded by Tanaka Yoshiichi.However, as the Japanese army was invincible in Nanyang, the radicals in the Japanese army became more and more powerful.

They are increasingly dissatisfied with Tanaka Yoshiichi's diplomatic strategy.

The Japanese army can do anything.Yang Wei's meaning is obvious. This time's behavior is very likely planned by the military radicals.

"Vice Premier Jiang (Jiang Hongyu), ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to keep in touch with Tokyo to find out the current situation as soon as possible. Especially to find out who assassinated Tanaka Yoshiichi, and whether Tanaka Yoshiichi is dead or alive. "

"Yes."

Originally, the negotiations between China and Japan were relatively smooth.

Japan is ready to make concessions and is ready to return sovereignty over southern Sakhalin and Taiwan.Of course, in exchange, Japan also made a lot of demands.Duan Xun is also ready to make a step, in other aspects, including deepening cooperation with Japan in the military, and supporting Japan more in other aspects.With such a concession, take back the sovereignty of southern Sakhalin and Taiwan.

But now that this kind of thing is happening, it will be difficult to negotiate.

After all, this negotiation was led by Tanaka Yoshiichi alone, and there are still very loud voices of opposition in Japan.If it weren't for Tanaka Yoshihide to push forward with one hand, there would be no such negotiation at all.Now that Tanaka Yoshihide is dead or alive, it is likely to directly affect this negotiation.

Duan Xun didn't sleep well all night.

Consider what will happen to Japan once there is a problem with Yoshiichi Tanaka, and what will happen to the relationship between China and Japan.

"How's it going?"

What Duan Xun is most concerned about now is the situation of Tanaka Yoshiichi.

Over the past ten years, Japan's politics, economy, military, and diplomacy have all been deeply influenced by Yoshiichi Tanaka, and Japan's series of actions can be traced.However, if another person, especially a military fanatic came to power to control Japanese politics, it would be difficult to judge Japan's future actions.

So Duan Xun is eager to know the result.

"Chairman, the embassy in Japan preliminarily confirmed that it was Japanese soldiers who attacked Yoshiichi Tanaka and Takahashi. Because the ammunition and bombs found at the scene were all used by the army, and the attack was swift and well-planned. In 2 minutes, Tanaka Yoshiichi and Takahashi Kiyoshi's guards were resolved, and then calmly evacuated. Until now, we have not caught who did it. However, it has been confirmed that Takahashi Kiyoshi died at the scene of the attack."

"Is Takahashi Qing dead?"

"Yes."

Duan Xun shook his head.

Takahashi Shikiyo is 85 years old and is still active in Japanese politics.He is the most experienced bigwig in Japanese politics, and he is the only political figure in the same group as him who is still jumping at the front desk.Takahashi has served as the Prime Minister of Japan for more than ten times so far, and has a very large influence in the Japanese political circles and Japanese financial fields.

And the credit is great.

Not to mention the Russo-Japanese War, Takahashi made great contributions to raising military expenses for Japan.After the Great Kanto Earthquake and the economic crisis brought about by the Great Depression in the United States, Takahashi Shikiyo made great contributions as the Prime Minister of Tibet.

Japan's fiscal policy in the past 20 years has been deeply influenced by Takahashi Tekiyoshi.The fiscal policy he formulated improved the Japanese government's finances, supported the powerful Japanese chaebol, and got rid of the economic crisis.Although there are many sequelae of his fiscal policy, but for now, the effect is still very good.

But such a person died just like that.

He died at the hands of someone he didn't even know.

"Where's Tanaka Yoshiichi? He's dead too?"

"Not yet. However, according to the information we have received, Tanaka Yoshiichi was shot three times, one of which entered his lung. He is currently being rescued in the hospital. But even if he is saved, it is estimated that it will be difficult to return to the hospital. Politics."

"Ah."

Duan Xun frowned tightly.

Tanaka Yoshiichi is 75 years old, and he is already very old.He was already that old, not to mention being shot three more times.Even young people in the prime of life were shot three times, especially in the lungs, and it was very difficult for them to recover.

Not to mention a 75-year-old man like Yoshiichi Tanaka.

He was shot three times. At Yoshiichi Tanaka's age, whether he can leave the hospital is a problem.Duan Xun knows that the era of Yoshiichi Tanaka in Japan is over from the information he has obtained now.Japan is about to enter the era of Yoshiichi Gotanaka.

"Chairman, the Japanese side has just informed that Hirota Koki has served as the interim cabinet prime minister. Hirota Koki has already set off to return to China, interrupting the negotiations between our two countries."

Hirota Koki is the foreign minister.

Under the circumstances that Yoshihiro Tanaka is dead, and a new cabinet prime minister has not yet been elected, it is normal for Hirota Koki to serve as the interim cabinet prime minister.But the problem is that Hirota Hony is currently in Tianjin, negotiating with China.

"There are too many variables."

It was supposed to be a great opportunity.

A good opportunity to take back southern Sakhalin and Taiwan.As long as China controls Taiwan, it will be able to build and arm more in Taiwan.Many things can be deployed ahead of time.

But now that something like this is happening in Japan, the situation is much more complicated.

"Stay tuned."

The two countries at the core of China's diplomacy are the Soviet Union and Japan.

Any change in Japan's political circles will affect China's foreign policy.
