Expedition to Europe

Chapter 521 Dividing Japan (eighth update for the leader of the Chengjiao 110 brothers)

According to incomplete statistics, Lan Fang's bombing of Tokyo caused the death of about 100,000 people in Tokyo, more than 200,000 houses were completely destroyed, nearly 1.5 million people were homeless, and property losses exceeded 2 billion yen.

You should know that in the 1920s, Tokyo's population was only about 3.7 million, and nearly 1.5 million people were homeless. This means that Lan Fang's bombing almost destroyed half of Tokyo. The high efficiency of destruction made Xie Rundong feel incredible.

Tokyo's houses still adhere to the Japanese-style wooden house structure. Although the weather is cold in midwinter, the north wind is fierce, and the wind helps the fire, causing such a great power.

Another reason is Tokyo's gas pipeline. The solidified gas and oil bombs almost detonated the gas pipeline at the first moment, which caused more serious consequences. It can be said that the reason why this fire was so powerful is that most of the credit should be attributed to the gas pipeline. If Tokyo had not laid gas pipelines throughout the city, solidified gas and oil bombs alone would not have caused such great damage.

Not only Xie Rundong felt incredible, but also Glynton Augustine and Scott James felt incredible, because no one thought that Lan Fang would actually risk the world's condemnation to bomb Tokyo.

You know, in Tokyo, there are embassies of various powers that have established diplomatic relations with Japan. Although Lan Fang's bombing deliberately avoided the embassy area, it was inevitably affected by the double ravages of gas pipelines and northwest winds. About six Western diplomats died in this bombing. If Western civilians are counted, the number will exceed 100.

Among the Western diplomats who died, the highest-ranking Dutch ambassador to Japan was the Dutch ambassador to Japan. At that time, this unfortunate ambassador was about to visit the emperor at the "Imperial Palace", but he didn't expect to catch up with Bao Deshui's bombing.

What's even more sad is that this ambassador did not die in the bombing, but was hit by a carriage when he got off the car to check, which is also a strange story.

But no matter what, as long as there are British and Americans killed in this bombing, Glynton Augustine and Scott James will seek justice for their citizens, so Glynton Augustine and Scott James met with Prime Minister Huang Bohan at the first time and lodged a serious protest to Huang Bohan.

"Glynton, this is just an accident. No one wants to see such a thing happen. You should know that our air force had avoided the embassy area when bombing. Those people did not die in conspiracy, but died in accidents." Although it was a bit pale, Huang Bohan still tried to explain.

What else can be done? The dead cannot be resurrected. The key issue is the aftermath.

To be honest, as long as Glynton Augustine can be satisfied, Glynton Augustine does not care about the death of a few Americans.

People will always die, right?

"Mr. Prime Minister, whether this is an accident or not, it is a provocation to the United States of America. More than 20 Americans died in this bombing, including our military attachés stationed in Japan. This result is unacceptable to us. We must establish a mechanism to prevent similar situations from happening again. At the same time, we need to provide compensation to those poor people so that their families can get a certain degree of comfort." Greenton Augustine began to put forward conditions.

"Of course, we will give some compensation to the families of those poor people to express our sympathy. But there is one issue that must be stated. If there is cash, it only represents humanitarian compensation, not an apology. This is a war, a war that is not controlled by anyone, and we are the righteous party, so if there is an apology, it should be the Japanese government's apology. It is because they provoked this war that so many innocent people were killed." Huang Bohan is clear and does not leave any handle for others.

Since they killed other people's citizens, they should pay compensation, but they should apologize carefully.

If they want to apologize, it means that the Lan Fang government made a mistake. This is a matter of principle and there is no room for ambiguity.

"Oh, you are always like this, Mr. Prime Minister. Don't you want to give some comfort to those poor people? The wife lost her husband, and the child lost his mother. This is such a tragic thing. Lan Fang is now a big country. You should have enough sympathy instead of being aggressive like now." Glinton Augustine said meaningfully.

"Glinton, you should know that the Chinese have never been aggressive. We will only fight back when we can't bear it anymore. If we look at the history of the Chinese, the Chinese were the undisputed first power in the world for thousands of years before the Qing Empire, but what did our ancestors do? Our ancestors did nothing. Goryeo is still Goryeo, Japan is still Japan. They have existed as vassal states of the Chinese country for thousands of years, and they still exist today. Isn't this the best proof?" Huang Bohan certainly would not admit that Lan Fang was aggressive. This is also a matter of principle.

"Of course, if you look at it from this aspect, the Chinese are indeed a very gentle nation." Glinton Augustine spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.

The history of the Chinese is so glorious that as long as they use this killer weapon, they will be invincible, especially when facing Americans.

America... well, America has no history.

"There are others who are aggressive. Think about it. Since General Matthew Perry signed the Treaty of Kanagawa with the Edo Shogunate, the Japanese began the Meiji Restoration. Only ten years later, Japan annexed Ryukyu. Twenty years later, Japan annexed Goryeo. If they are given time, they will annex the entire earth. This is not alarmist. If you understand the Japanese, you will agree with this judgment." Huang Bohan is ready to instigate Greenton Augustine.

Matthew Perry is an American. In 1853, it was Matthew Perry who led the fleet into Japan, which triggered Japan's modernization process. In this process, Americans played a great role.

Hmm, it seems that it makes sense for the Japanese to worship Americans. Who let the Americans beat them again and again?

"Of course, Japan's performance is indeed disturbing." Greenton Augustine agreed with Huang Bohan.

Greenton Augustine could not refute Huang Bohan's words, not because Huang Bohan mentioned Matthew Perry, but because everything Huang Bohan said was true, and facts speak louder than words.

"Similarly, during the World War, Japan forced the Republic of China to sign a series of treaties, and these treaties were all extremely exclusive. If these treaties were really made a reality, Japan would dominate the Republic of China market, which is a market of 400 million people, and there would be no second one in the world..." Huang Bohan's bait was enough.

"Those treaties cannot become a reality. Except for the Japanese, no one recognizes those things." Greenton Augustine vetoed.

Look, the spirit of contract that Westerners admire is like this. When they need it, when those treaties are beneficial to them, the spirit of contract will become a symbol of Westerners' integrity and integrity, but when those contracts are not beneficial to them, those contracts are waste paper.

If Qin Zhiyuan was present, he would definitely think of the big mouth who wanted to select the president of the United States in the 21st century. He actually declared that all the contracts signed by Americans with foreign countries had no legal effect and had to be renegotiated. This was really ridiculous.

"Yes, for us, those treaties have no effect, even for the Beiyang government of the Republic of China, those treaties have no effect at all, because the Beiyang government of the Republic of China did not implement them at all. But if the military government in the south of the Republic of China came to power, it is hard to say whether these treaties will become a reality." Huang Bohan began to mix sand.

The Southern Government and the Beiyang Government...

It's better not to say that a certain party has not been pure since its birth.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @Book/Bar!

"This problem is indeed very serious. Our US government is about to propose an embargo on the Republic of China. You must know that the Republic of China now has almost no industrial capacity. If the world restricts the export of weapons to the Republic of China, then the chaos in the Republic of China may end earlier." Greenton Augustine is confident.

The arms embargo did happen in the history of another time and space, but the effect was minimal.

The history of Chinese wars runs through almost the entire history of the Chinese, and cold weapon wars occupy most of the time. Unless the Chinese have fought enough, it is wishful thinking to rely on arms embargoes to make the Chinese stop the war.

"We will talk about this issue later. The key issue now is how to deal with the ambitious Japanese. You know, the Japanese did fail this time, but if they are given a chance, their ambitions will expand again, and there will be no end. How can we make Japan not a threat to the whole world? I think this is the problem we should consider." Huang Bohan finally circled back to the Japanese.

The Japanese pulled Grinton Augustine as a helper, just to curb Lan Fang's ambitions. Although Grinton Augustine did speak for the Japanese, it is worth studying how sincere he was.

There is not so much sincerity between countries, so the relationship between PLA and "Pakistan" in another time and space is so strong.

Under normal circumstances, the winner has the right to speak, so international relations have never been dominated by "helping others when seeing injustice", but "adding insult to injury" is the mainstream.

When Glynton Augustine left Huang Bohan's office, he no longer had the Americans who died in the bombing in his mind, but was thinking about what benefits the United States could gain from the feast of dividing Japan.

Yes, it is division. Although Japan has no resources, they still have some pretty good things, such as the "Nagato" class battleship...

Well, even if you can't get the real thing, just the drawings are not bad. You know, the Americans are building the "Colorado" class battleship. If you can get the "Nagato" class technology, it will be a great good news for the Americans.

After sending Glynton Augustine away, Huang Bohan waited for Scott James again.

After Scott James, German Ambassador to Lanfang Ribbentrop was in line...
