    Taiwan has been officially annexed by the Japanese army since the Treaty of Shimonoseki between China and Japan.

    Since that moment, Taiwan¡¯s resistance movement has never stopped. With the resistance of the local people and the covert support of the Manchus, the Taiwan Democratic Republic government was even established to organize armed resistance.  More than ten years later, even in 1912, there were still established resistance organizations.

    At this time in Taiwan, the leader leading the rebels in guerrilla warfare was former Taiwan Democratic Party Minister Li Bingrui.  At this time, contact had also been established with the Chinese Imperial Government on the mainland.

    At this time, the vigorous calls for the Revolution of 1911 on the mainland had already once again stimulated Taiwan's anti-Japanese war sentiments, making the Taiwanese resistance movement, which had already fallen into a low ebb, once again have a tendency to enter the climax.  Li Bingrui did not miss this good opportunity and sent people to the mainland early to seek support, expressing the desire of the Taiwanese people to return to the mainland.  Established a relationship with the Imperial Intelligence Agency

    "Haha! Is Japan's Katsura Taro cabinet still holding on? It has reached this point, and it still wants to drag Japan into a burial without seeking a decent way to end the war? I think these Japanese die-hards still need to  What a heavy hammer!¡±

    Imperial Cabinet, Minister of Transport Tao Chengzhang expressed his feelings about the situation in Japan,

    "Our attack on Japan is still too small. Although the people in the Imperial Navy are all new recruits, Japan does not have much naval power now. Why not let them land in Japan? There is also the Imperial Air Force, which can obviously fly from North Korea  They set out from the forward base to bomb the Japanese mainland, but they kept standing still. What kind of drama is this!"

    Tao Chengzhang was very dissatisfied with the imperial government's attitude towards Japan, and showed his former loud-mouthed and angry nature.  In the imperial cabinet, he pointed at the nose of the person in charge of the imperial government and made accusations.  In fact, his attitude also represents the views of a large number of people in the country on the imperial side.

    We are China.  In the past, our military power was limited, and we were always bullied. We never had a chance to show off the power of China. Now, the imperial power broadcasts to the world and is victorious in every battle. Why can't we just punch Russia and kick little Japan?  How about a fight?

    The emperor¡¯s side is the Minister of National Defense.  Guo Jia, chief of general staff of the newly established tri-services staff headquarters and director of the Military Intelligence Agency, had to explain to him in detail:

    "Old Tao! As the Minister of Transportation, how can you not know the importance of the five-year construction plan that has just begun in the empire, whether it is your three-horizontal and three-vertical railway trunk line plan, the construction of four major heavy industrial zones, and agriculture  Reforms in education and education require a huge amount of manpower and resources.

    The empire¡¯s power is now wasted on these construction plans. How can it be possible that it still has the power to attack the Japanese homeland!  According to Japanese habits.  If our army lands, and if people come with us desperately, it will be enough for us to drink a pot.  Our empire's current military strength is strong enough, but the strength lies in our elites.  From a national perspective, our military strength is limited in scale after all, so we can wage a war of national annihilation against a powerful country like Japan.  Still not enough.  Just rely on the four armies of North Korea that are the only ones that have completed their establishment and construction?  There is simply not enough to fill the bottomless pit in Japan.

    And other forces, until now.  The reform of the National Defense Forces in all provinces of the empire has not yet been completed, according to the progress.  The best-case scenario is not until the end of this year.

    We are mortal enemies with Japan, and there must be a result, but now we do not have the power to kill each other. It is impossible to make those Japanese guys who accept death surrender by air force bombing alone.  Now, in the war between us and Japan, we have been controlling the intensity of the war. We don¡¯t want to make it big. In fact, we want to exhaust Japan¡¯s national power in Korea and create conditions for killing the enemy in one fell swoop in the future. By the way, we are also preparing for the future of China.  Defense Force training.

    "Oh! That's it!" Tao Chengzhang has very strong organizational skills, but he is actually not good at military affairs. He doesn't even know much about the international situation. He doesn't know the purpose of the military in advance. This time he complained to the cabinet.  They came purely on behalf of the angry youths from the Liberation Association.  But when Guo Jia said this, he understood.

    ¡°These people in the military are indeed top conspirators!  I have been waiting here for Japan for a long time!

    Seeing that Tao Chengzhang's attitude had softened, Guo Jia curled his lips and said something else.

    "Of course, if the empire continues to fight as it is now, there is actually another concern, that is, the Chinese empire has already had enough limelight in the world. Just the potential threat has already made the imperialist powers sit on pins and needles. There are also advanced  The airship technology of the air force and the powerful navy of the empire. If they invade Japan again, let alone a war, it will be impossible to win. The international impact alone is serious enough.

    A country that has just been established has shown unprecedented expansion.?Why don¡¯t Western countries regard China as their number one enemy?  The Yellow Peril theory in Europe will become even more widespread.  We in China are not like Japan. Japan will never take its threat seriously no matter how much it troubles Europe, but we are different.  It will be troublesome if we are too arrogant and everyone in the world calls for a fight. Even our current quasi-ally Germany may have scruples and may not be able to tear up the treaty with us.

    In short, our reputation has been established and we have won what we want: the attention of Western countries, serious and equal treatment, complete independence of the country, and the investment and international investment from Germany and the United States in the internal construction of the country.  support.  Next, we don't need to be too arrogant. If we want to make a fortune quietly, we have to wait until our basic strength catches up and we become a truly big and powerful country before we can have the confidence to launch a full-scale war with the other party.

    We are still strong on the outside and weak on the inside after all, we are still far from it!  "

    Tao Chengzhang sighed and said:

    "That's right! The empire is really in a state of exhaustion now. If we don't reach this position, we don't know how big the gap between China and the West is. In terms of railway construction alone, we are still far behind those great powers.  , need to catch up.

    But just looking at the five-year construction plan we came up with, haha!  The construction speed that everyone is looking forward to is also unprecedentedly fast!  in the history of Western countries.  There has never been such a large-scale nation-building as ours!  We Chinese are confident that we will catch up with them in a short time and become a truly great and powerful country!  "

    "Of course!" Imperial Prime Minister Xun You answered Tao Chengzhang's words.

    "But before that, let's break Japan's hands and feet. There is still a way to turn them into a crippled force. Chief of Staff Guo, the issues regarding Ryukyu and Taiwan should be resolved smoothly, as well as several issues in the Pacific south of Japan.  Island. The empire¡¯s navy should extend its arms and legs to the Pacific Ocean instead of just hanging around at home. It¡¯s so worthless!¡± Xun You and Guo Jia are old partners in the expeditionary force for many years, and they speak very casually.  It was normal to secretly mock Guo Jia.

    "Yes! Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" Guo Jia did not show any weakness.  He replied seriously: "The cruiser formation of the Imperial East China Sea Fleet has been reorganized and is about to cooperate with the main battleships to cover the landfall of the army to recover Ryukyu and Taiwan Island. The Ryukyu side can be easily solved. The navy's own marines are enough to handle it. As for Taiwan, there is no need for it.  Difficulty, the current strength of the Japanese army in Taiwan, including military and police, is just a miscellaneous army of more than 10,000 people. We only need to land a division of regular troops to solve them. This is the answer. I wonder if your Excellency, Prime Minister, is still satisfied?  ?¡±

    "You, you, you! Satisfied, satisfied!" Xun You shook his head and laughed at Guo Jia, completely helpless against this scoundrel.

    In words and laughter.  With the cooperation of the Imperial Navy and Army, the move to regain Ryukyu and Taiwan was decided.

    In June 1912, Pound's Division, the First Division of the First Imperial Army.  Hop aboard in North Korea and head south along the coast.  Landing on a beach near Keelung, Taiwan.  That day, the cannons of battleships and cruisers roared all day long on the sea.  The shore fortifications built by the Japanese army were bombarded into a mess. The landing craft equipped by the Imperial Marine Corps slowly approached the beach under the cover of artillery fire.

    Under the aerial bombardment of the Air Force airship, although the Japanese army foresaw the landing site of the Chinese Army, they could not organize effective resistance. The Chinese Army successfully landed by force, and then quickly marched into Taipei. On the 11th, the Chinese Army  The team defeated most of the Japanese army with superior force and captured the Japanese Governor-General's Office in Taipei, declaring the end of Japan's short-lived colonial rule in Taiwan.

    At the same time, the Japanese rule in Ryukyu also came to an end, and the East China Sea Fleet of the Chinese Empire officially stationed in Ryukyu, intending to establish it as the home port of the East China Sea Fleet.

    In July 1912, the Imperial East China Sea Fleet entered the Japanese mainland and bombarded Sajiho, Kure, Yokohama, Nagasaki and other ports.  Afterwards, the empire's cruiser fleet was divided into three squadrons and began to blockade the commercial shipping lanes along Japan's long coastline.  All foreign ships from various countries will be advised to retreat.  All Japanese ships will be sunk.  In this way, the Japanese economy is slowly bleeding out.

    In August, the stubborn Japanese military finally couldn't stand it anymore and invited the United States of America to serve as a notary country to mediate between the two sides in the Sino-Japanese war and conduct bilateral negotiations in Shanghai. However, during the negotiation process, it repeatedly questioned China's conditions.  He was reluctant to accept the treatment of a defeated country and always wanted to use excuses to delay negotiations and gain a fatal breathing space for Japan.

    The Chinese emperor was furious, so he broke off the negotiations and once again dispatched the navy to bombard Japan.  Under pressure from both China and the United States, Japan had to declare unconditional surrender, give up its territorial rights in Korea, the Ryukyu Islands, and Taiwan, cede Tanegashima and the islands to the south of the Pacific as the territory of the Chinese Empire, and pay compensation to the Chinese Empire for the Sino-Japanese War.  The military expenditure is NT$200 million.

      After the negotiations were reached, the news returned to the country. Yamagata Aritomo, a veteran of the Japanese military, vomited blood and died on the spot. Nearly one-third of the military personnel committed suicide by caesarean section within the next month. Katsura Taro's cabinet was criticized by the domestic people.  The national thieves collectively fell from power, and most of them were later assassinated. Katsura Taro, as the chief culprit, became a monk and became a monk, and never participated in worldly affairs.  That month, Emperor Meiji died and Emperor Taisho ascended the throne.  Saionji Temple was ordered by the emperor to form a cabinet again to save Japan.

    ??The generation of elite figures that emerged in Japan since the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War have all withered and disappeared from the stage of world affairs.  After the Meiji Restoration, after decades of hard work and hard work by the whole country, the little gains plundered from neighboring countries were once again lost, and were completely knocked back to their original shape, becoming the few remote islands overseas they once were.  The Meiji Era, Japan's most glorious peak era, has since become history.  (To be continued)
