Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Emperor Yoshihito thought of every word his father, Emperor Meiji, said before he died, especially when it still lingered in his ears. His father carefully analyzed the strength and important figures of Japan's major forces. These people, He has clearly remembered them all in his heart over the years, and when he thought about how hot he was just now, he actually forgot that he naively thought that these people would be like the sharp blade in his hand, capable of cutting and killing everywhere, but now it is I was awakened by Katsura's answer just now. Yes, even the great father could not completely control these people, let alone myself who had just ascended to the position of emperor. It seems that I am really a little bit whimsical.

However, Emperor Yoshihito will not be easily discouraged. In his opinion, strong subordinates are sometimes better assistants. At least in many matters, they can be given more space and rights to expand externally. In this way, he can hide behind the scenes, control the development of Japan and even Asia, and watch the development of Europe, the world's most powerful country group.

Considering that more and more Westerners are keen to discuss the relationship between China and Japan recently, this trend has even spread to China and Japan. There are various versions, and generally it's because of the decline of China and the rise of Japan, and that's basically what it's about. Emperor Yoshihito could only smile lightly at these various versions.

In the development of East Asia relations in these years, the historical narrative of Sino-Japanese relations has often been accompanied by the history of China's humiliation and Japan's history of expansion. This kind of judgment can be said to be an impartial statement, but. The humiliation of one country is caused by the expansion of other countries, so to speak. In fact, the most Japan currently has is a showdown with China on the Taiwan issue and North Korea, a vassal state of China. The rest are just Western powers such as Britain and France dealing with China. Of course, Emperor Yoshihito also thinks about it. , join the ranks of these big countries. Implement it as soon as possible to the point of invading China at will.

However, these processes have been underway for many years, but it is not just a blatant fear of attracting the attention of other powerful countries. [

Emperor Yoshihito didn't want to continue the obviously meaningless topic just now, so he moved to other places. Well, he has chosen a good problem, China.

"Due to the fierce struggles caused by the obvious opposition between the north and the south in China, although its domestic political battles appear calm on the surface. However, only those who are familiar with the inside story don't know that they are currently engaged in a fierce battle. Therefore, , they are now. Furthermore, they absolutely cannot take into account other matters. As long as these are concerned with diplomatic issues, you can understand a lot of things.

Although Yuan Shikai's Beiyang government claims to be the most recent and main institution of the country, in fact, they are also the most powerful group. They have already mastered part of Northeast China, and fell in love with Mongolia and parts of Shanxi, northwest Shaanxi, East China, and middle China. This has allowed Yuan Shikai to occupy almost half of the entire territory of China. The remaining areas include Shaanxi, Hubei, Eastern Sichuan, Chongqing, etc. governed by the Republican Party under the leadership of Li Yuanhong in West China; Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing led the Kuomintang in Hunan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong (including Hainan), as well as the parts of the Communist Party of China under the leadership of Lu Xun in Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, and the parts south of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu.

There are also some small and medium-sized forces that are not yet on the table. These are the things we should pay attention to. These many forces have greatly hindered China from being able to compete with us. Yuan Shikai, the president of the nominally Beiyang government, has neither clear leadership policy guidance nor the enthusiasm to seize the initiative. He was originally the most capable of unifying China, but because of his growing age, he actually developed the characteristics of a miser. It seems that the idea of ​​​​choosing the guardian number to live a lifetime in one acre of land. "

"Your Majesty is right," Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple also said at this time: "Li Yuanhong from the west is an ambitious person, but his position is destined. Their ambition for hegemony, if there are no special circumstances, I think, It seems difficult to have a chance. The remaining two are pretty good and very possible."

Emperor Yoshihito was intrigued by what Saionji Lord said, and asked Ito Hirobumi: "Ito-kun, what do you think? Which one do you like more? After all, you are the only one here who is interested in it." China is the most familiar to us. If we hadn’t grasped China’s attitude so well back then, North Korea might still be in the arms of the Chinese now.”

Ito Hirobumi is a very gentle person. At least, if many people are not aware of his deeds, they will be deceived by his appearance inadvertently. No one would have thought that he is such a person. , actually presided over the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War. This is the most symbolic event in the rise of Japan in modern times. It can be said that everyone here also understands that Ito Hirobumi's status, if nothing else, is definitely a national hero in Japan, and he will also be one of the most hated figures in China, North Korea and other countries.

Thinking of this, Ito Hirobumi looked at Aritomo Yamagata next to him. This guy is not bad. Although he was not the one to show up in many cases, he was the one who led the Russo-Japanese War. In the end, he won the battle directly. The war also frightened the European powers. It can be said that these two people are Japan's twin treasures and one of the most prestigious people besides Emperor Meiji. Even if he later entered Katsura Taro and Xiyuanji Gongwang at the end of his studies, it would be difficult for him to compare with them.

When he came back, he thought about Japan again.

Due to the onset of civil strife in China and the victory of the war with Russia, Japan received a God-given opportunity to develop itself. Furthermore, in view of the fact that Western countries are fighting among themselves and do not look outward, the power of the Far East has been weakened a lot. At least except for Spain, other countries such as Britain, Germany, and France have also weakened a lot.

Therefore, the military and the cabinet Senate, which have formed a large scale in recent decades, decided to let go of the expansion policy.

Therefore, the recent war has been justified. Saionji Konobo's third cabinet, Yamamoto's cabinet formation, and Katsura Taro's cabinet. The cabinets of these people have changed the Japanese structure from the previous two heroes of Yamagata Aritomo and Ito Hirobumi, and formed multiple giants.

This period also made Japan more politically competitive, and the final result of this struggle was that Japan changed its policy towards China. (To be continued.
