In fact, Wang Guorui also thought about destroying Japan directly, but later he gave up. ???`?Because he knew that it would not be easy to destroy Japan, the key is what price to pay. Wang Guorui knows that the Japanese are very crazy and extreme, and they are prone to extremes. This kind of extreme caused them to succeed and Xiao He to fail, and their rapid rise of the Meiji Restoration relied on this kind of extreme, because this kind of extreme allowed them to work together towards the same goal, so that even after several years If tens of thousands of fools work together in one direction, then any country and nation will develop successfully. But they also lost in this kind of extreme. They are very stubborn about foreign expansion. They have been expanding towards China, and even after the decline has occurred, they are still unwilling to give up. So they failed in the end, and lost everything in the gamble.
Later, the Americans also deeply realized the tenacity of the Japanese. The Americans suffered heavy losses in the First World War on Iwo Jima. At that time, they had to give up the idea of sending troops to occupy all of Japan. So they chose to use nuclear bombs to force them to surrender, because the Americans couldn't accept paying such a high price of casualties.
And now Wang Guorui is also afraid that if he takes the initiative to attack, he will eventually force the Japanese to jump over the wall, which is not very good. If Wang Guorui wanted to completely destroy Japan, he might not be able to destroy Japan without sending millions of troops. At present, Wang Guorui has only less than 800,000 new troops in the whole country, and such a small force is too difficult to defend the whole country. How can it be possible to open up foreign countries? And if all the elite troops of the country are sent to destroy Japan, the risk is very high. If there is a vacuum in the domestic military force at that time, those corrupt forces will take the opportunity to restore it again, it will be a very headache.
And if he sends a million troops to attack Japan at that time, will Western countries take the opportunity to sneak attack? At that time, there will be a vacuum of domestic troops, and it will be easy for foreigners to take the opportunity to mess around. So he naturally did not dare to send troops to attack Japan, the risk was too great.
At present, although Wang Guorui seems to have a lot of troops, there are not many new-style troops that he can trust. The new army is only 800,000, and there are still many people who really want to expand their training. Although many local troops have been incorporated. What about the Eight Banners, what about the green battalion, etc. Whether they are loyal or not remains to be tested. It is impossible for Wang Guorui to release his direct lineage and let these collateral troops take charge of his own country. There is no direct lineage suppression. Whether those collateral forces will be distracted is also a question.
So only let those direct troops expand their personnel as soon as possible, and then they can say anything else! This is the reason why Wang Guorui expanded too fast, and there were not enough troops to suppress the place. Because Wang Guorui almost devoured the mainland, this would inevitably lead to a shortage of troops, and it was inevitable that the old army would have to be incorporated. The level of trust in the old army is still not very trustworthy. Therefore, when the direct line troops have not expanded enough, they cannot attack Japan.
"Your Majesty, I actually have an idea. It's not that easy to preserve North Korea. However, I have a way!" Akashi Genjiro said.
"What way?" Emperor Meiji asked.
Akashi Genjiro replied immediately: "It's actually simple. We can farm in North Korea. We can recruit a large number of army troops, and then send them to North Korea, and then let them farm there to support themselves. Then we have to undertake military service. In this way, we will not only There can be a large number of troops in North Korea, and then the transportation pressure can also be reduced. We can even build some military industries in North Korea, so that we can ensure that weapons can be obtained nearby. Our current navy is dead, so let's not expect us to be able to transport by sea It has passed. Before we are blocked by the Chinese navy, we should quickly transfer some industries to the past, so that we can gain a foothold there as soon as possible. If we cannot gain a foothold as soon as possible, then we will definitely be in danger in the future of."
However, everyone thinks that this is the best way. At present, there is only one way to resist Wang Guorui from seizing North Korea, and that is to send a large number of Japanese there as soon as possible. This can also allow them to be responsible for suppressing the local North Korean rebellion, and then allow them to live there for a long time and farm. Even part of the military industry has to be sent over, so that the arms can be produced by themselves as much as possible. This method was a last resort idea when the Japanese navy destroyed the Qing Dynasty. ,
But this also has a very huge risk. That would create two giants. At that time, this North Korea will be another Japan, almost as if it is separated by an ocean. Once a large number of people, materials and industrial systems are sent over, will this cause a lot of trouble. At that time, what if the person who was sent to North Korea had a different heart and betrayed Emperor Meiji? In this way, will they take the opportunity to become independent at that time? Then split with Japan?
With land, population, and industrial system, isn't that what constitutes a country? So Emperor Meiji also murmured in his heart, will something go wrong then? So I'm afraid it will cause a lot of problems at that time, which makes Emperor Meiji worry. Any emperor is often suspicious, especially a good emperor is more suspicious. Emperor Meiji is definitely one of the best emperors in Japanese history. No one can deny this, even Wang Guorui must admit it. In later generations, he even became one of the one hundred people who changed human history, which is enough to show that Emperor Meiji was amazing.
And Emperor Meiji, from a puppet emperor, revived an imperial family that had been a puppet for almost a thousand years, and regained power. This is definitely not a simple person. Even if Wang Guorui thinks that if he does not have the red alert system and develops on his own, then he is likely to be labeled as a grandson by the Meiji Emperor, this Wang Guorui will not deny it. But the more powerful and powerful the monarch is, the more suspicious he is. It is very easy for him to doubt others, and it is very easy to doubt the loyalty of others, which is also the characteristic of ancient monarchs. There are very few monarchs who can truly trust others.
"Your Majesty, I know your worries, but I think this is all I can do for now. Your Majesty, I want to say something cruel, as long as North Korea can be kept, the rotten meat will be rotten in the pot, and there is still a chance to save it. Big deal Let the emperor send a general of the royal family to serve, it will be safer. But if you lose it, it will be useless to say anything!" Akashi Genjiro said.
Hearing Akashi Genjiro's very rude words, everyone was shocked for a while, this Akashi Genjiro really dared to say anything! The face of Emperor Meiji also changed suddenly, and after a few good changes at last, he finally sighed helplessly.
"What Akashi said, there is some truth to it. As long as North Korea can be kept, even if the meat is rotten, it will be rotten in the pot and cannot reach the hands of outsiders. As long as it is not in the hands of outsiders, even if it is possible, it is possible. The opportunity to make up for it. But if it is lost, then it is really a complete loss. There is no need for me to give up just because of the possibility. Anyway, the rotten meat is rotten in the pot, so don’t worry too much !” Emperor Meiji said.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone said together.
Next, Emperor Meiji appointed Prince Kitashirakawa Nohisa to be in charge of North Korea's affairs, especially in charge of the transfer of the army and the army's garrison, which allowed them to expand step by step. It can be said that this Prince Kitashirakawa Nokyu directly took control of North Korea and became the overlord of North Korea. Of course, such a powerful place cannot be handed over to outsiders, so it must be handed over to the royal family. And this Kitashirakawa Palace can be regarded as good for a long time. This Kitashirakawa Miya Nohisa was also lucky. According to the original history, he died in Taiwan, because the Japanese army attacked Taiwan, and he died of the miasma of Taiwan's climate and soil. But this time they failed to conquer Taiwan, which allowed Kitashirakawa Palace to survive for a long time, so healthy that they jumped more and more happily, and their military rank was promoted to general, so they are now sent to take charge of North Korea's affairs.
"His Majesty the Emperor ~www.mtlnovel.com~ I hope to be the chief of staff of His Royal Highness, so that I can assist His Royal Highness to resist the Chinese. I think I have dealt with Wang Guorui a lot, so I think I am familiar with the kingdom Rui, I am familiar with China. And if I can help His Excellency by the Prince's side, that would be a good intelligence staff officer." Akashi Genjiro said.
That Kitashirakawa Palace heard Akashi Genjiro's words for a long time, and took the initiative to answer: "Your Majesty, just let General Akashi go with me. I believe that we must cooperate well with him."
When Noku Kitashirakawa was in Taiwan, he had a good influence on Akashi Genjiro, and he also supported him. But later, Akashi Genjiro directly accepted the emperor's support, so Kitashirakawa Palace Nojiu didn't say anything. But it is good to be able to cooperate this time, so it will be more pleasant to cooperate in the future. And this Akashi Genjiro is still very young, and he is one of the leaders of the Emperor's Dao faction in the Japanese Army, so he is naturally willing to help, which can be regarded as a good relationship.
"Okay, since you ask so, let Akashi be your chief of staff!" Emperor Meiji said.
When Akashi Motojiro took the initiative to bow and salute, no one saw Akashi Motojiro showing a sinister smile. (To be continued.)
