Chapter 1082: Japanese traitors in struggle

The real situation was far more serious than what the ordinary people saw. In order to ensure that the agreement went smoothly, the Meiji government even ordered the transfer of the army.

Yamagata Aritomo's plan to defend the homeland was aborted a step early before it could even begin to be implemented.

The Meiji government was not an idle man, as the high point of Japan's millennium.

There is instability in the country and everyone is well aware of it. The Russian Embassy case in the Army's involvement in the traces so obvious, naturally can not let them stay Tokyo add to the chaos.

The excuse is ready-made, Japan-Russia relations break down, the border situation is tense, the need to transfer troops to reinforce the past.

The great righteous kidnapping anyone, politicians play, far from the Army radicals that gang of young teenagers can compare.

"As a soldier to protect the family and the country are not going, and still dare to say they are patriots?"

Now is the Meiji government, Japan up and down has not yet gone crazy, the Army naturally also do not have the Showa era madness.

The military order is like a mountain, no matter how much folk make a fuss, the army can only pack their bags and go to the front.

The more influential the radicals were, the sooner they were sent on board. On the contrary, the "steady" type of troops like the Fourth Division was left to the last.

Don't look at the future about the fourth division of the paragraph, but when it comes to the critical moment, or this unit is reliable.

During the Southwest War, the 4th Division was awarded a prize by Emperor Meiji himself for its outstanding performance, and was the only unit in the Japanese Army to receive this award.

The reason why the 4th Division was favored by the Japanese government was not only their combat prowess, but most importantly, they were "peaceful" enough.

Perhaps due to cultural traditions, this unit from Osaka was different from other Japanese armies from its inception.

The Japanese Army was heavily influenced by Bushido and military ****ism, and most of the commanders advocated the death of their soldiers.

A typical representative example is "Nogi Hidenori", whose performance in the Russo-Japanese War in his original time would have been a court-martial in other countries, but he was worshipped as a "military god".

In this social context, the Fourth Division, which does not like to fight blindly and loves to use its brain when fighting, appears to be very different.

The alternative was already discriminated against, and if this alternative unit was favored by the upper echelon, it was even more intolerable.

A few more names like "merchant division" and "loser division" are inevitable.

These are minor issues, but the 4th Division was left in charge of the aftermath, together with the marines, gendarmerie and police to maintain domestic stability, and also to supervise the boarding of friendly troops.

Obviously, it was not a good job. But there is no way, this kind of "hard work" to offend people, only the army's alternative 4th Division can be competent.

The radicalism in the army was too rampant, and except for the relatively rational 4th Division, all other units were more fanatical than one another.

One can't give this task to the Marines, right?

If you really let the Navy oversee it, it is estimated that the entire Army must have a nervous breakdown, insulting people are not to be played like this.

......

The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this.

A young officer came forward and reported, "Sir, these are the troublemakers just arrested."

Scanning the unlucky people who were arrested, Saito frowned. Without any exception, most of those arrested were students.

All of them had their heads held high, as if they had done something remarkable, as if they had just won a big victory over a fighting chicken.

You don't have to think about it to know that it's another group of middle-aged teenagers who have been fooled.

Normal people caught, even if they are not anxious to cry out unjustly, then they are as timid as a chill, trying to find ways to get themselves off, which has no arrogance.

"Well done, Uemura-kun. Take them down, take good care of the caretaker, and leave the rest to the government!"

Similar situations were seen so much recently that Colonel Saito had lost his interest in theorizing with them.

There was no way to convince a bunch of middle-aged teenagers who hadn't been beaten by society, it was just too difficult.

In a sense, the folk's frenzy is also the bitter fruit of the Japanese government's own sowing. The tradition of subordination is not innate either.

The root cause of all this is the aftermath of westernization. Blindly studying various systems of the West, the good, the bad, the suitable and the unsuitable were all copied.

The "break away from Asia into Europe" was not just a slogan, but a practical action. The Japanese Army was the most fanatical, because it was France that they first followed when they formed the new army.

Unlike the French, who had seen a lot, the Japanese, who had not experienced the storm of ideas, were inevitably led astray.

It is human nature to want to take shortcuts, and the country is also composed of people, and inevitably affected.

Under the guiding principle of "learn from the most advanced", the Japanese Army was exposed to the "military ****ist ideology" in Paris, which could improve the combat effectiveness of the army in a short period of time, and then found a realistic template in Prussia.

It is no wonder that it was copied. Perhaps because it was thought that simple "military ****ism" was not enough, the Japanese Army added a unique Bushido spirit to the modernization process.

The 4th Division was less affected, because the soldiers were mostly from Osaka, where the business atmosphere was strong, and their eyesight and insight were relatively broader.

The same reasoning applies to the Navy. The more you know, the less one-sided you will be when you look at things.

As in the case of the ministerial intervention, the radicals in the army even shouted the slogan "no matter what the battle", while the more knowledgeable and stable faction wanted to end it quickly.

It was clear that Colonel Saito was relatively conservative in his thinking, and his assessment of the middle-aged boys' approach was "ignorant and fearless".

"Do not hesitate to say a war" is easy to say, if the real fight, Japan has the power to fight?

It is not that Saito is presumptuous, but the strength gap is too big. After personally participating in the Philippine War and seeing the combat power of the French mercenaries, he was deeply aware of the gap between the Japanese army and the world's top land forces.

The army can not compare, the gap between the navy is even greater. Naval warfare Spain did not hire mercenaries.

From the information gathered, the Spanish Navy has long been decayed and degenerated, old-fashioned tactics, low morale, officers and soldiers greedy ......

But the Spanish navy, which looks rotten and decrepit, has taken practical action to let the Japanese community know what a "hundred-year navy" is.

There is no way, these pressed things, the British will not hand over.

The details of the experience, only by time to slowly accumulate. The number of losses, fooled, lessons learned will naturally have.

In the evening, the end of the day's work, Colonel Saito, is now writing a summary of the day's work.

The same in both the past and present, the arrest of people will inevitably have to write a report. Only the causes and consequences are clearly explained, the judicial personnel who take over the back can start to deal with.

"Ding Ding Ring, Ding Ding Ring ......"

The phone on the desk rang, Colonel Saito helplessly put down his pen, adjusted his mood for a few seconds, politely replied, "This is Junichiro Saito, may I ask who you are?"

"This is the Joint Investigation Mission of the Russian Embassy case, now order your ministry to send all the seized persons to the East Gate tomorrow morning ......"

Compared to Colonel Saito's politeness, the reply on the other end of the phone was much more arrogant. Not only did not introduce themselves, not even a polite word, completely a tone of command.

There is no way, people have to bow down under the roof. These days, Europeans are superior everywhere they go, plus the embassy case before being deceived by the Japanese government, itself has a stomach of fire, now naturally there is a good attitude.

Not to mention the middle-ranking officers like him, even the top of the Japanese government, in the investigation mission do not get the respect they deserve.

The tone of the other party was offensive, but Colonel Saito could not take offense and hastily explained, "Your Excellency, we arrested only ordinary mobbing criminals, and there is no relationship with the Russian Embassy case ......"

Whether there was a relationship or not, it had to be no relationship at all. It is true that Saito is not a fan of middle-aged boys, but that does not mean he can watch these "patriots" die.

There is no way, the general public sent over, after the investigation there is a possibility of coming out, the middle-aged boys that is absolutely there is no return.

The ignorant are fearless, a little lull or stimulation, these people will dare to take responsibility.

Not anything, are suitable to fill the big head. The Russian embassy case has become so big, now it is not necessary to involve a number of people, as long as you dare to admit, people will dare to kill.

Don't look at these middle-aged teenagers now seems to be of little use, but these people are indeed the future of Japan. People will grow up, now is not the same as in the future also.

In order to preserve these patriots, most of the suspects handed over by Osamu Saito during this recent period were hoodlums.

In his opinion these people, anyway, are social assholes, it is better to waste and take out for the public mission to take out the anger forget.

Yes, in the view of many Japanese people, the recent strong persecution of the Ministerial Corps is to "take a breath" and humiliate the Japanese Empire.

Tracing the murderer?

As the local snake, the Japanese government, their own best efforts can not find out who the culprit, on the basis of the Ministerial Corps to find the outsiders can?

If the culprit could not be found, then the only way to find him was to arrest the planners and participants of the demonstration that day.

"Senior Colonel Saito, please realize the seriousness of the problem. Whether there is a connection or not is up to the murder investigation team, you do not need to judge on your behalf."

The brutal voice not only doused the enthusiasm of Senior Colonel Saito, but also revealed the identity of the speaker.

Seeing the failure of communication, Colonel Saito coldly replied, "Okada-kun, don't forget your identity.

If you work for the foreigners and kill your compatriots, you will be punished one day."

The world is never short of second-rate people, and Japan is naturally no exception. The government is thinking of leaving Asia and entering Europe, and there are even more ordinary people who want to be foreigners.

If you just want to be a foreigner, it's just a personal choice, so it's not a big deal.

The reason why it is annoying is that these guys "pick up the bowl and eat, but put down the night and then pitted mother".

The ministerial mission to investigate the Russian embassy case, they alone are obviously not enough, this time need to be familiar with the Japanese situation of the Japanese traitors on the field.

The Russian embassy case is obviously the best stage for the Japanese traitors.

The ministerial team had already drawn the pie. As long as the Russian embassy case was done well, all embassies would recruit a group of enthusiastic people who were familiar with the Japanese social environment from the top performers.

For many people, this is a chance to reach the top. Not only do they get citizenship, but they also get a full diplomatic staff.

Don't underestimate this insignificant ordinary staff status, can make the Japanese traitors rushed, the hidden interests behind this is not ordinary big.

Not only is it convenient to do the business of buying intermediaries, more importantly, to achieve class crossing, you can enter the Japanese high society at once.

Okada is one of the best, with the talent of careful and good at finding and digging, played an important role in the investigation of the Russian Embassy case.

Although he didn't catch any big fish, he netted a lot of small fish and shrimps, and was favored by the ministerial delegation.

Talent is rare, and a number of countries have now extended an olive branch to him. Did not make a choice, that is Okada is still waiting for a better opportunity.

That's right, ordinary European countries no longer appeal to Okada, what he wants is to join Britain or Shenandoah.

Britain had the largest market share in Japan, and following the British could bring lucrative financial rewards.

As a latecomer, Shinra, because it did not cultivate the Japanese market deeply, the share of trade is slightly smaller, but the future potential is large.

Another important reason is that the probability of becoming a "daimyo" (nobleman) in Shinra is higher, while Britain also has noble titles, but they are all false.

Although he had not yet received an official invitation from the embassies of the two countries, Okada was confident in himself.

The investigation of the Russian embassy case had only just begun, and he stood out from his competitors and was commended by the Ministerial Corps.

Okada, who thought he was superior, was in a bad mood when he was called out on his status.

"Senior Colonel Saito, I don't need you to worry about my affairs, but do your own job first!

The reaction is so fierce, it's not the Russian Embassy case, you have a part in it, right?"

The speaker may have no intention, but the listener has an intention. Anyway, Senior Colonel Saito was stunned, and he had learned a lot about Okada's ability to withhold his hat.

At this point, no matter who is involved with the Russian Embassy case, it will end in tragedy.

Up to now, there have been several important members of the Japanese military and political circles who have suffered unwarranted disasters because their children pitted their fathers and grandfathers.

Although the European world is not popular, but the Japanese government can not have no expression ah! Hara-kiri is not so much, early retirement home is a must.

Implicated are going to be unlucky, directly involved in, it is not to mention. Even if it is not found, once it is found, wait for the verdict of the international court!

"Okada-kun, rice can be eaten indiscriminately, words can not be said indiscriminately. It's better not to make jokes like this.

Otherwise, people will mistakenly think that you are handling the case, is to fabricate charges out of thin air, looking for someone to act as a scapegoat to take the blame, that would be bad."

Losers do not lose the battle, Colonel Saito is also open-minded. Anyway, he was not involved in the Russian embassy case, so he was not afraid to investigate.

As a middle-ranking officer of the Japanese Army, even if someone wanted to plant evidence to frame him, the military would not agree.

If something really happens, he will be unlucky and the other side will not be able to get a good deal. The Ministerial Corps needs a dog to help investigate the case, not a dog that causes trouble everywhere.

Once you lose the trust of the Ministerial Corps, no longer provide shelter, Okada such a two-five, it is a minute to sink the rhythm of Tokyo Bay.
