Expedition to Europe

The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans have richer emotions and are more rational.

Qin Zhiyuan's emotions are also rich enough. He has all the responsibilities to the country and the people, the love for his family, and the friendship with his friends. At the same time, Qin Zhiyuan is also rational enough.

That afternoon, according to the planned schedule, all members of the royal family, including Emperor Taisho and Crown Prince Hirohito, as well as Saionji Kimmochi, who had not yet awakened, and his family all left Tokyo. They will take the Lanfang warship in Yokosuka to Lanfang's homeland, and then go to Europe.

However, the assassination in the racecourse did not end with the departure of Taisho and others, but instead intensified.

Qin Zhiyuan was also assassinated in Yingzhou. Although it was just a close call, Yingzhou Governor Zhang Tianshou also went on a killing spree. More than 20,000 Yingzhou people involved in the assassination or suspected Yingzhou people were arrested by the Yingzhou government. About nearly 1,000 people were executed by firing squad, and the rest were all exiled to the northern border area.

Yingzhou people are now Lanfang people. If they treat Yingzhou people like this, then you can imagine what will happen to the Japanese.

Qin Haoge's cruelty is no worse than Zhang Tianshou's, and even worse than Zhang Tianshou's. Otherwise, Qin Zhiyuan would not have appointed Qin Haoge as the commander-in-chief in Japan.

On the afternoon of the racecourse incident, Dazheng and his men had not left Tokyo yet, and Qin Haoge had already started to implement revenge actions in Tokyo.

In fact, the racecourse incident has not been finalized, and even because the assassin died on the spot, even the mastermind behind the scenes has not been dug out.

This does not prevent Qin Haoge from taking advantage of the issue. As the commander-in-chief of Lanfang in Japan, Qin Haoge has almost unlimited power in Japan. Even if there is no evidence, Qin Haoge says who is related to this matter must be related, and it is irrefutable.

In fact, among the current Japanese, there are many who have opinions about Lanfang, and some are even clamoring that if all 60 million Japanese die, they are not without the power to fight Lanfang.

Qin Haoge spent most of his energy in the past period of time dealing with the opposition voices from the Japanese military. Although he did not start to clean up the Japanese government and opposition parties, Qin Haoge also had a "little notebook" because of the existence of the Lan Fang National Security Bureau.

Now that there is a "little notebook", it is relatively simple to deal with it now.

Those who have made speeches against Lan Fang, arrest them!

Those who have made speeches that incited and confronted Lan Fang, arrest them!

Those who have been uncooperative with the Lan Fang headquarters in Japan, arrest them!

Even those who have made speeches that despise Chinese people on different occasions, arrest them all first!

"Emperor Retired" means that you have to look like an "Emperor Retired". If you have to compromise in the face of different voices, what kind of emperor is that?

Almost overnight, the Japanese government and the opposition were really in a state of panic. During the three days that Qin Zhiyuan stayed in Japan, the martial law on the streets had never been lifted. Cars with the logo of the Lanfang Headquarters in Japan were whizzing through the streets at any time. Each car represented a different voice. These vehicles had only one direction, Yokosuka.

Because there were so many people arrested, there was no screening at all in many cases. As long as they were arrested, they were guilty, and all the arrested Japanese were exiled to the Northern Frontier.

These Japanese exiled to the Northern Frontier were different from the Yingzhou people who were exiled to the Northern Frontier before. The Yingzhou people were Lanfang people anyway, and they were still objects that could be saved. These Japanese were the same regardless of whether they could be saved or not. It is estimated that Chen Kangjian had no intention of saving them.

On the first day, the garrison's arrest targets were limited to officials and Japanese with social prestige. From the second day, the arrest targets began to expand. The remnants of the army, government officials, scholars, businessmen, and even civilians were all on the arrest list of the Lanfang garrison.

On the third day, the arrest operation had begun to spread to the surrounding cities. Qin Haoge was really ruthless. This time, he wanted to make the Japanese behave themselves for at least a hundred years.

Of course, such a large-scale arrest operation also attracted protests from the British and Americans. After all, in Tokyo at that time, the British and Americans still had embassies in Japan. Although Japan had a tendency to become a vassal state of Lan Fang, it was still an independent country in name after all, and it was also a country with diplomatic relations with Britain and the United States.

The British and Americans did not want to see Japan become a vassal state of Lan Fang.

So the British and American ambassadors to Japan have been particularly busy these days.

"The British ambassador came to you again just now, probably for this matter. I blocked him and didn't let him in." Qin Haoge reported to Qin Zhiyuan who was changing clothes.

Qin Zhiyuan had just received a group of military representatives and would meet a group of representatives from the business community later. He was changing his military uniform into relatively casual clothes.

According to the scheduled plan, Qin Zhiyuan will leave Tokyo tomorrow. In such a limited time, his schedule is full, most of which are meetings, non-stop meetings, one after another, from the military, local governments, politicians, businessmen, Lan Fang, Japan, etc.

"Don't bother with him. I have to go to the UK next. If there are any problems, I will communicate directly with their boss. Forget about him. I don't have the time." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to see him either.

In fact, he had met him once before. The British ambassador to Japan was a bit saintly. He spoke about benevolence, righteousness, morality, and the people of the world, as if the captured Japanese were his own parents.

Qin Zhiyuan really doesn't like such people. He talks about others in a set way, but he doesn't look at himself.

Lan Fang did go too far in Japan, but the British were not much better in the British colonies, and even went much further than Lan Fang in Japan. At least Lan Fang did not set up concentration camps in Japan, and Lan Fang did not resell Japanese for profit.

"Hehe, this British ambassador is really idle. He takes a few reporters around all day. The day before yesterday, he went to Yokosuka and wanted to enter the port to take pictures. Our soldiers stopped him and didn't let him in." Qin Haoge didn't have a good impression of the British, so his soldiers would naturally not be polite to the British.

"Take pictures? What kind of reporters are they? Find a chance to see what kind of photos they are. If there are signs of targeting the garrison, seize and destroy them all, otherwise it will be troublesome again." Qin Zhiyuan is vigilant enough.

Things like taking pictures, usually don't seem to be a big problem, but at certain special moments, those photos will become "evidence in court". Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to see the British use these things to disgust him one day in the future.

"Okay, I'll pay attention. Those reporters are British. British newspapers have reporters in Japan, but I haven't noticed them before." Qin Haoge was still able to carry out self-criticism.

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

The form of war in the early 20th century was still relatively simple. When it came to war, people's first reaction was to start fighting with real swords and guns. Few people could realize the power of special forms of war such as public opinion war and economic war.

Qin Zhiyuan has experienced various public opinion wars, economic wars, even oil wars, currency wars, etc., and has even been exposed to the concept of "unrestricted warfare". Naturally, he will not take it lightly.

"Look at where those reporters are from. Give them a warning. If they want to be involved in the struggle at the national level, let them think it over." Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care about those "uncrowned kings". In Qin Zhiyuan's mind, there are only two concepts: "enemy" and "friend".

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, if they stand on the standpoint of "newspapers" and "reporters", those reporters do have reasons to lean towards the British. At the same time, if the Lan Fang government wants to target a certain reporter, it can really be described as self-degradation.

But Qin Zhiyuan is obviously not a pedantic person. Since those reporters want to make their voices heard, they must be prepared to bear the price. The Lan Fang government will not publicly deal with a certain reporter, but if a certain reporter has an accident in Japan, it is estimated that there are not so many truths to trace.

"No problem, we don't need our people to come forward, they have enough to bear. If necessary, it is normal to create some accidents." Qin Haoge is not pedantic.

Qin Haoge has been in Japan for such a long time and has done a lot of work. A few days ago, Qin Zhiyuan ordered Qin Haoge to form a Japanese vassal army. In fact, Qin Haoge had done some similar work before.

Just like Lee Seung-man died in the internal strife of the Koreans, no one went to investigate the truth, and because the people involved were too high-level, such things were not easy to investigate. In many cases, it is better to break away from the Qing Dynasty with Lan Fang. At least, no matter how you look at it, Lee Seung-man died at the hands of the Koreans. This is an indisputable fact.

Militarism in Japan is indeed rampant, but at the same time, there are many Japanese who have a good impression of Lan Fang or the Chinese for various reasons. These people are the ones that Qin Haoge wants to win over, and they are also the ones that Qin Haoge wants to rely on. When it is inconvenient for Lan Fang officials to come forward, these pawns come in handy.

"Pay attention to identifying those Japanese, split and disintegrate them from within, it is best to establish a baojia system, let the Japanese monitor themselves, and wait for Jin Jiu's troops to be sent over, and all these things will be handed over to Jin Jiu's troops to deal with." Qin Zhiyuan still pays attention to diverting contradictions.

Just a few days ago, after Qin Zhiyuan expressed his intention to transfer vassal troops between Korea and Japan, a force composed entirely of Koreans was gathering and preparing to enter Japan.

In fact, in Qin Zhiyuan's original plan, including the cleanup of the Japanese government and opposition, it would be best if the Koreans were to carry it out, so that Lan Fang could stay out of it and look at the entanglement between Japan and Korea from a detached standpoint.

Unfortunately, because the impact of the "racecourse incident" was too bad, this plan was stillborn.

But it doesn't matter. It's not difficult to deal with these unstable elements that have surfaced. The real trouble is those unstable elements who can endure and are good at enduring. Identifying and dealing with them will take longer.

That's the task of the Koreans.
