1890 King of Southeast Asia

After intense discussions in the Qing Empire, the Regent Zaifeng wanted to veto this "selling out the country for glory" proposal.

First published in \u0026: Tower\u003e-Reading Novels

In the end, it was Prince Qing, Zhang Nanpi and others who persuaded him, saying that the first year of Xuantong was approaching and it was not appropriate to use force, and persuaded Zaifeng.

The proposal was passed with difficulty in the Qing Empire. After Tang Shaochuan received the news, he immediately found Lin Pingzhi, and Lin Pingzhi immediately began to contact Britain and France.

Unexpectedly, the British and French representatives only slightly expressed that the conditions were a bit harsh, and agreed to Lin Pingzhi's proposal without success.

On February 7, Tang Shaochuan formally proposed to invite Nanhua to return to the meeting at the meeting. The British remained silent, the French supported it, and the Japanese opposed it ineffectively. Nanhua rejoined the mediation meeting.

On the same day, the British sent the conditions of the Qing Empire to the Japanese and began to shirk responsibility and wrangling.

"Prime Minister, it seems that we have failed in diplomacy again." Komura Shoutaro looked pale, tightly holding a telegram.

This is the telegram sent back by Director Lin.

"... After many attempts, judging from the final reaction of the British, the British should have compromised and sold out the interests of the empire... It is impossible to fight for a better treaty under the current conditions. I hope that the empire can invite the United States to join the mediation and change the balance of power..."

Director Lin has tried his best, but Japan does not have much advantage. Once the Qing Empire becomes tough, Japan will be caught in a dilemma.

He still put forward constructive suggestions, inviting Americans to join the mediation, muddying the water, and perhaps getting a different result.

After all, the contradiction between the Americans and Nanhua has not been resolved, and the conflict of interests between the two is not so easy to resolve. The Americans will definitely oppose Nanhua and support Japan.

And Britain, seeing that it can restrain Nanhua without doing anything and not offend Nanhua, will definitely go with the flow.

"Contact the United States. We are willing to accept American investment in the future Qing Empire garrison area and enjoy the same treatment as Japanese companies." Katsura Taro nodded with a sullen face.

"Prime Minister, Minister Ono wants to see you." Katsura Taro was still planning to send troops to explore the open areas in the west for another deterrence. He was about to ask about the feasibility of diplomacy when he was interrupted by his secretary.

There are not many bunkers and fortifications in the West, let alone many soldiers, but there is no value either, no population, farmland, or even roads.

All needs must be transported from the back, which is a huge expense but nothing can be grabbed. For Japan, it is a bit of a loss.

"What is he doing here? Let him wait." Katsura Taro was puzzled for a moment, and then ignored it.

Ono is the Minister of the Interior. All rights are internal. There are not many urgent matters. He asked Komura Jutaro about his ideas.

"It's not impossible, but the number of troops cannot be too large. It is best not to enter the territory of the Qing Empire in an organized manner. This is a bit disadvantageous in diplomacy." Komura Jutaro said after thinking for a while.

Then, Komura Sutaro looked like "I have something to say, but I dare not say it."

"What do you want to say?" Katsura Taro said after adjusting his expression.

"Prime Minister, the current situation is not favorable to us. If we experience another military failure, we may not be able to keep our existing interests." Komura Sutaro said tactfully.

"Don't worry, I don't plan to launch a large-scale attack. I just send a few people to explore a little. If I encounter obstacles, I will stop." Katsura Taro nodded.

"In this case, I will go to the American ambassador first to test their attitude. I will take my leave first." Komura Sutaro bowed and retreated.

"Where is Ono-kun? Let him in." After Komura left, Katsura Taro remembered that there was a minister waiting for him.

"Hi!" The secretary retreated respectfully.

"Ono-kun, what happened?" After a while, Ono, who looked anxious, came in in a hurry, and Katsura Taro's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be another rebellion? The rice riots would not make the Minister of the Interior so panicked.

"Prime Minister, last night, a fire broke out in Kitakyushu, and the firefighting force was insufficient. As of this morning, the flames have swept across most of the city. Preliminary estimates show that more than 200,000 people have been affected, and the direct economic losses are more than 1 billion yen."

"We urgently need the army to enter the city to put out the fire and maintain order. If this continues, Kitakyushu will be destroyed!"

Ono said anxiously.

Ping-ling-pang-clang~~

The teacup in Katsura Taro's hand fell to the ground, and the boiling hot tea spilled on his pants, but he was unaware.

"What did you say? Why wasn't such a big fire discovered in advance? Why was the fire allowed to spread?" Katsura Taro rushed over and grabbed Ono's collar.

"Prime Minister, I don't know the specific reasons why the fire developed to this extent, but the most urgent task is to stop the losses in time, send nearby troops to enter, maintain order, and reduce losses. Otherwise, if this continues, we will lose Kitakyushu." Ono's performance was better than Katsura Taro.

If he didn't have the right to mobilize the army, he would definitely act first and report later.

At present, there are not many troops left in Japan, and any mobilization requires the order of the military, especially for such a major event as entering the city.

Japan dare not give the army the right to enter the city on its own in times of disaster...

"North Kyushu immediately entered the emergency state, the army entered the city, implemented military management, and the surrounding cities immediately mobilized disaster relief materials. We must minimize losses and casualties."

"Prime Minister, please end the war as soon as possible and withdraw the army. We can't afford such a large material demand anymore." Ono bowed his head.

"I know, the autumn of events ..." Guitaro squeezed his fist.

..............

On the evening of February 6, Sunny, Crescent, Kyushu, Japan.

The moonlight of the crescent moon is not abundant, but it is supplemented by the starry light, and its tranquility and prosperity can be seen in Northern Kyushu at night.

Under this moonlight, several SCI special mobile teams are performing activities around a "community".

They all pushed a small cart, disguised as hawkers who had just collected.

"Qiangzi, this is also some."

"And here."

"Lao Liu, I'm gone here."

"Plot the lane, check again, and leave after confirming it." Huang Wenxiu glanced at the watch, 10.15, more than an hour from the expected time, they had several points to arrange.

"Captain, how much can it be burned? If the Japanese respond quickly, it would be three or five houses." Qiangzi looked at the crocks in his hand.

This is their "weapon", which contains half a can of gasoline tanks, and there are several small carts.

There is a certain air in this crock. When the air is inflated, an explosion will occur, allowing the ignited gasoline to fly into the distance.

The disadvantage is that only a few crock cans, at most, ignite part of a few wooden houses in a short period of time, without much power.

If the Japanese respond quickly, this degree of action is likely to not cause any harm.

"Let you read more, and have to feed the pigs." Huang Wenxiu knocked on Qiangzi's head and laughed and scolded.

"Qiangzi, how much did you put on these jars on your hand?" Lao Liu asked with a smile.

"I don't remember, seven or eighty people should be available." Qiangzi said.

"Our team received two hundred, and there were several other teams. There were none of them and 800. They were ignited together. Without preparation, it was not so many manpower in a short time." Huang Wenxiu Said.

"Then we are so moving, just to put a fire?" Qiangzi asked like it.

He knew about their plan and dispatched several elite teams. If they were only used to set fire to a community with only thousands of people, even if they were successful, they were useful and small?

"You asked you to ask, this is a task, you just need to perform it." Lao Liu scolded.

"Qiangzi, Lao Liu is right. Our responsibility is not to ask Dong and Western. You can ask if you do n’t understand the task. If you do n’t understand the tasks, you do n’t think about it. Do n’t think so much." Huang Wenxiu also said.

Because of the particularity of the nature of the work, SCI's mobile teams are definitely not so glorious. Many times they do some dirty work, and some South China cannot do dirty work.

These tasks are all tight, which is why Lao Liu scolded. The more you know, the better you do n’t.

At 11:30, according to the pre -set point, the Huang Wenxiu team completed the placement of all the "crocks".

"Time is here, ignite!" Huang Wenxiu watched the second hand over 12, and immediately ordered.

Hideko held the detonator, connected to the connection line, shook the generator on the detonator crazy, and waited for the green indicator to light up, and Johnzo was fiercely.

A light spots suddenly appeared in the distance, and some flickered, but some stubborn light and heat.

After a while, Huang Wenxiu heard the explosion.

Slap ...

Bang!

Various sounds sounded, and at night, it became noisy.

"Burned." Qiangzi excitedly said.

As long as the Japanese cannot extinguish all the fire as soon as possible, the fire will expand rapidly.

After all, Japanese buildings are mainly wooden, mostly built by dry wood. The architecture in the city is dense, and there is no good planning. The fire spreads fast.

Considering that the snow has not yet become, the overall is more humid, they have prepared a thousand crocks. Even if half off, the remaining tasks can be completed.

After all, the lit gas is different from the firewood, and it is difficult to extinguish the water alone.

"At least dozens of ignition points have been successfully ignited. Initial estimates, our task is completed." Lao Liu Mo Mo counted the light spots visible to the naked eye and nodded.

After this mission, they can get a half -month holiday, and they can accompany their wives and children.

"What's going on? Is the sky suddenly windy? Is it going to rain?" Qiangzi shivered and spit out.

Huhu ~~

As soon as Qiangzi finished speaking, he heard a huge bombardment.

The fire in the distance suddenly increased, the fire spread, and a few minutes swallowed their target communities, expanding their surroundings as quickly as possible.
