    The explosions that had been ringing all night gradually subsided, and noisy running and police whistles came one after another.  On the hospital bed, Katsura Taro's face was as white as paper and his eyes were dull. The terrible night seemed to have exhausted all his vitality. From beginning to end, he was uttering one word, Japan, Japan!

    Since the Meiji Era, countless Japanese people with lofty ideals have gone abroad to learn from the advanced European and American world in order to get rid of the naturally unfavorable island environment. Fear and the Beiyang Fleet have led the entire country from the emperor down to save money to build the first joint fleet.

    At the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War, almost every far-sighted politician and soldier had his head in his belt. Even after the fleet set off, he had already written a declaration of defeat and a declaration of attachment to the Central Empire again.  But it turned out to be a victory!  Japan has since escaped the shadow of mainland China!  Two hundred and fifty million silver, Taiwan and Liaodong!  It directly stunned the entire Japan and brought unimaginable development opportunities to this country.  Universal education, industrial development, navy expansion, army strengtheningetc.

    Hirobumi Ito even said that Japan¡¯s prosperity was due to the establishment of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, Japan¡¯s name.

    This is something that all visionary politicians understand. However, after the explosion last night, he realized that Japan's failure also started from Shimonoseki  Looking back now, perhaps only Ito Hirobumi understands best that Japan is Japan after all. The lack of resources and the inherent disadvantages prompted him to start an active and effective mainland foreign policy after the Sino-Japanese War of 1898 to help cultivate students and fund education to subtly export Japanese ideas.  Thanks to his efforts, the Sino-Japanese War began to be forgotten in just a few years. Ten years later, Japan even replaced Europe and the United States as the most desirable country for Chinese students studying abroad.

    But, he is dead!  Died in a despicable assassination!

    The Ito era came to an abrupt end, although his descendants are still working hard.  However, the Japanese young people, who were arrogant after two great victories, began to indulge themselves. They believed that they had become one of the world's powerful countries.  He began to despise the former Central Empire, and even wanted to win the whole of China through another gambling victory even after already gaining huge benefits in Manchuria!  So the Xihuamen incident was planned.  War is coming, and a dazzling strongman appears in the Central Empire that has been dormant for decades!

    "Annei. Can you help me out for a walk?" Katsura Taro turned to look at the personal doctor. His words were so weak and his movements were so slow.  Dr. Anne understood immediately, nodded and asked his servants to help him up, and pushed him out of the hut in a wheelchair.  Katsura Taro was stunned by the smell of burnt and gunpowder smoke. There were only a few bare black charcoal sticks left in the Murano Snack Shop on the street.  The hostess held Mr. Murano's body and sat numbly in the mud. Her ten-year-old child was also sitting on the edge. A big hole was burned in his pants, exposing his thigh covered with blisters and screaming in pain.

    Katsura Taro¡¯s mind in the wheelchair went blank.  He remembered it clearly.  When I was a child, I and my friends stole snacks from the old Mr. Murano.  The image of being chased all the way by him, being caught, being scolded severely, and then being given a snack.  As a descendant of the nobles of the Choshu clan, he was not short of food, but he enjoyed this kind of fun.  After the death of Mr. Murano, his son inherited the shop.  At that time, I had already gone to Germany, and after returning, I often came here to have something to eat.  But now it no longer existsand it has been reduced to ashes along with Mr. Komurano, who was always polite to him every time he met.

    The wheelchair continued to move forward. After passing a bare cherry blossom forest, a hellish scene appeared in front of everyone.

    The whole street has disappeared!  Everywhere you look is charcoal and ashes.

    "Japan, Japan!" Katsura Taro muttered softly, his wise eyes when he was young gradually losing their sparkle.  In the background of two upstart victories in which the weak defeated the strong, there was a generation of young people who were pampered, increasingly arrogant, short-term, and arrogant.  They forget the perseverance of their predecessors and their down-to-earth attitude.  They regard chrysanthemums and swords as totems, and always want to compare with their predecessors in their achievements and then conquer Asia, or even the world But they forget that this is Japan, a small Asian country that lacks resources and food and is still weak and poor in the eyes of Europe and the United States.  .

    A group of army soldiers carrying guns to maintain order but who were also confused came over. They bowed and saluted the former prime minister who closed his eyes to "rest", but they didn't know that the wise eyes in the beautiful Guiyuan era could no longer be restored.  Open.

    In front of the blood-spattered Prime Minister's Office, Junnobu Aoki, Ikki Kitai and others still stood stubbornly and proudly. They withdrew their eyes from the rising sun in the east and turned to Giichi Tanaka in front of them like a hero: "Tanaka-kun, look  Are we here yet? Don¡¯t you believe we can do it?! Haha We killed all those national thieves, and we awakened the people and the country with their blood! Have you seen it? Navy brothers, Army brothers, you  Do you see? Blood and sacrifice are what our generation should do, instead of cowardly betraying national interests. We are fearless and heroic soldiers of the Japanese Empire. Some people said that ten years ago we faced the tenacity of Lucia machine guns and bayonets.  The spirit has disappeared?, but now I can tell them that we have not lost our souls.  "

    "Tanaka-kun! The rest is left to you. Please lead the empire out of its shackles and set foot on the mainland again. Expand the living space for the fifty million people and our descendants! The Empire of Japan has a prosperous military fortune  ." Aoki shouted hysterically, turned his wrist, took out a small revolver, and pointed it at his temple.

    At the same time that blood burst from his head, Shanxian Youpeng's car also stopped behind him.  He didn't seem to notice the corpses and blood on the ground, and waved to Tanaka Yiichi through the glass, shaking and weak, just like Katsura Taro just now.  Tianzhong glanced at Aoki who was lying in a pool of blood for the last time, shook his head and got into the car, and asked with concern: "Mr. Ge, your body"

    "I'm fine. I'll take you to see His Majesty the Emperor." Yamagata Aritomo didn't understand what was going on. His body, which was fine before, suddenly seemed to have been drained of all its strength. His eyes became blurry, and the corners of his mouth began to feel bitter.  My fingers became cold.  But he is still insisting, because there is still one important thing to do, that is, he must establish his successor in front of Emperor Taisho while he still has the strength. Only in this way can he ensure political stability and wait for Crown Prince Hirohito to grow up.

    The car drove quickly towards the palace. It was a hellish scene along the way. The whole city looked like it had been ravaged by a pack of three-headed dogs.  No more passers-by, no more chaos.  The car, protected by soldiers, soon arrived at Chiyoda Palace.  Tanaka got out of the car first and opened the door. He bent down and raised his hands to help Shanxian Youpeng get out of the car.  But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement. When he raised his head again and looked inward in confusion The only old man with power in Japanese politics for decades after Ito Hirobumi did not move.

    At that moment, Tanaka Yiichi¡¯s hands and feet were cold!

    ??******

    Japan, Tokyo, riots!

    Become the three most popular words throughout May!  No one thought it was a coup, because the fanatical young soldiers did not want to form a political power on their own. Their purpose was only to physically eliminate those who advocated signing the "Eight Civil Articles" and temporarily retreating to get closer to European and American democrats.

    The night of 510 once again briefly focused the world's attention over the Northeast Pacific. Countless politicians were stunned by the bone marrow-soaked enthusiasm of Japan's younger generation!  In order to win, this paranoid nation can invent the pig-attack tactic of treating death as nothing and using life to defeat the enemy.  After experiencing a failure that was not too serious in the eyes of the West.  No one expected that the young Japanese who had been accustomed to being the leader in Asia for the past twenty years felt that their status was in jeopardy. After discovering that the dream of liberating Asia and realizing co-prosperity in Asia was beginning to fade, they actually chose to use fanaticism to bring the country to the edge of the cliff.  Use blood and life to awaken the footsteps of conquest!  What kind of nation is this?  What kind of Japan!  What made Europe unable to sleep even more was when democratic leaders were included in the death list, and when Katsura Taro and Yamagata Aritomo suddenly died of myocardial infarction one after another.  Japan as a whole could not find a suitable leader, and any hope of trying to integrate Japan into the European model was completely shattered.

    Yamamoto Gonbei and the navy are also deeply involved in the Siemens corruption scandal. Even if they publicly reject all army factions from taking power, the citizens who want stability will not be able to allow corrupt criminals to form a government.  Okuma Shigenobu has retired and returned to his hometown, rejecting all invitations to form a cabinet and deciding to spend the rest of his years quietly.  Although Tanaka Giichi arrived at the palace, Emperor Taisho only thought that he was the "bodyguard" of Aritomo Yamagata.  Kiyoura Keigo has always wanted to become prime minister, but he almost achieved his wish a few years ago after he lost his shackles.  How could you be willing to let your juniors get on top?

    After the signing of the Eight Civil Articles, the Allied Powers rejoiced because the Far East was at peace.  But the night of May 10th was like a loud slap in the face, telling them that the undercurrent in the Far East was even more terrifying!  Compared with the long struggle before Saionji came to power, this time the political struggle is more difficult and more brutal!  Who will win?  Where does Japan go from here?  Who will contain China, which is gradually waking up?  How to ensure balance in the Far East?  Will the five army divisions promised by Saionji's cabinet still arrive on the Western Front, where troops are urgently needed?  Will the Navy, which is in urgent need of power to check the Choshu Domain, send the Kongo class to Europe?  How should Britain uphold the Sino-Japanese alliance?  Was Asia's new young strongman laughing when he heard about the storm?

    "I regret."

    In the Nanjing mansion, Yang Qiu frowned when facing the visiting Wall Street Journal reporter: "Because I see democratic forces disappearing in Japan and dangerous radical militarism spreading! It has serious consequences for Asia and peace in the entire Pacific region.  Threat. I can¡¯t imagine what it would be like to lose control of a powerful navy that could sweep across the Northeast and Southwest Pacific. This is a disaster when the whole world is doing everything they can to end the war in Europe!¡±

    Will Wall Street publish this speech truthfully?  How many hypocritical, democratic warrior, etc. hats will critics put on their heads?  Yang Qiu doesn't care at all!  Whether it is Tanaka Giichi or Nagata TetsuShan, compared with them in the parallel world, they are now too young and inexperienced. It will take a long time to stand out in the Japanese society that emphasizes seniority and strict hierarchy.

    And China, which has just emerged from suffering and is far from realizing social reform, just needs time.  It is foreseeable that after losing a generation of heroes and creating huge fault lines, the Japanese political arena will be in chaos for a long time.  The night of May 10th is like the British and French powers before the war. After this disaster, unless they provoke a full-scale war in the next few years, there will never be any conflict between China and Japan!  Because as long as you are not a madman, you must shrink strategically.  They will give in step by step on the North Korean issue, and there will be fewer Japanese warships at sea. When Europe is in full swing, a huge power vacuum will finally appear in the Northeast and Southwest Pacific!

    Hou Yi did not shoot down all the sun because he understood that the world still needs sunshine, and there are also people who need Japan to be unsinkable.  Standing in front of a large world map in the core war room of the General Staff Headquarters, Yang Qiu drew a circle with his finger on the blank space between North Korea and the Strait of Malacca, and then slowly cast his eyes towards the fiery Europe.

    This was the first time he could sit down and patiently examine the world war after the changes
