Chapter 481: The Unlucky Little Japan

"The Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire has undergone a mutiny and rebellion!"

Major newspapers around the world have already published the front page of the rebellion in the Imperial Navy.

Especially for newspapers in Western countries, the entire page and the words on the title occupy half of the paper, as if they were afraid that the people who sell newspapers would not see it.

Regarding the incident of the Chinese Empire submarine Copper Fish, only the Chinese Navy knew that it could completely block the news, but the problem was that the rebellious mastermind Kim Seong-wo sent a telegram to the United States in advance, making it no secret.

The American government wants to watch jokes about the Chinese Empire all the time, so it naturally has to seize the opportunity to hype up the big things.

The first thing that was revealed was the Stars and Stripes. This was a secret instruction by the American government to deliberately expose the rebellion of the Copper Fish, a submarine of the Chinese Empire, aiming to attack the international reputation of the Chinese Empire, accusing the Chinese Empire of no human rights, and randomly purges the remains of the previous dynasty, implying that the righteous people of the Chinese Empire could not stand it anymore, so they launched a rebellion, intending to take advantage of the great disaster of the Chinese Empire's Emperor Li Weiguo on his way to Guam.

Immediately, newspapers spread throughout the United States.

Although the radio industry in the United States was just beginning and had not yet reached practical level, telegraph and telephone lines were laid under the sea of ​​the United States and Europe, and the message was delivered as fast as radio, and the whole of Europe knew about it the next day.

The European allied countries must naturally strictly control their domestic public opinion and not allow them to report negative news from the Chinese Empire. At the same time, they asked the Chinese Empire for the real situation and congratulations to the Chinese Empire for quelling the rebellion in a timely manner.

However, the European Allied Powers camp will not give face, and they are envious, jealous and hateful of the Chinese Empire. How could they miss this good opportunity to take advantage of the situation and follow the major American newspapers to criticize the Chinese Empire. What is hard to say, belittle the Chinese Empire to uselessness, thus highlighting the superiority of their own country.

Among the Allies camps, the British Empire hated the Chinese Empire the most.

As the British Empire's world hegemony fell and its economy was bleak, the people of the British Empire were in a downturn and began to commemorate the glory of the British Empire in the past, they would naturally hold a grudge against the Chinese Empire that kicked the British Empire off the altar.

Moreover, with the hostility of the Allies and the Allies, this sentiment continued to rise.

The Chinese Empire continued to erode the overseas colonies of the British Empire in the Asia-Pacific region and the Indian Ocean region, causing calls to confront the Chinese Empire to break out in the British Empire. There were countless protesters every day, and various ambition politicians took the Chinese Empire as an excuse to incite public support.

Especially the British Empire government, United Cabinet Prime Minister William has just stepped down, and the new one is liberal leader Rosbori.

This is an ambitious man, with no less ambition than American Presidents Grant and Roosevelt.

Rosbore has been studying the rise of the Chinese Empire and seeing the huge benefits that the high concentration of state power will bring to national development. At the same time, in the United States, Grant completely abandoned the so-called democracy of America and embarked on the road of dictatorship, which brought great inspiration to the British Empire.

Rosbore believes that after Grant's dictatorship, the comprehensive national strength of the United States not only did not weaken, but instead grew rapidly. Grant's way of taking the path is to imitate the rise of the Chinese Empire and bring nationalism to the extreme, which brought profound inspiration to Rosbore.

When a country is in turmoil and when the British Empire declines, there is no more suitable solution to how the national anger is dealt with and how domestic contradictions are transferred than dictatorship.

Therefore, Rosboury also tried to follow the path Grant took and to engage in dictatorship in the British Empire.

However, the national conditions are different. Grant was able to achieve dictatorship in the United States, which is in line with the long-term civil war in the United States. The military firmly controls the national economy and military lifeline. Grant's own personal reputation is high enough to suppress the voices against dictatorship in the United States and achieve American dictatorship.

But it was much more difficult in the British Empire. Parliament was strong and it was not easy to have an authoritarian rule and undermine the rights of parliament.

However, Ross was still unwilling to give up, so during the election, he began to implicitly instill the great achievements made by the American dictatorship into the people. The imperial system of the Chinese Empire made the Chinese Empire the most powerful country in the world. If the British Empire wants to rise again, it should learn from the rise of the Chinese Empire and the United States.

Ross was very good at inciting the masses, allowing him to gain enough votes, defeating William, a candidate appointed by the liberals, preventing William from continuing to be re-election as prime minister, and also defeating his opponent's conservative candidate Thor, ending the eight-year-old coalition cabinet rule in one fell swoop and achieving the liberal rule alone. Therefore, Ross also won the support of liberal internal bosses and was elected as prime minister of the British Empire.

After taking office, Ross sold his ideas on various occasions, instilled various benefits of American dictatorship into the British Empire's citizens, and gathered a large number of supporters around him.

This time, after learning about the submarine rebellion in the Chinese Empire, Ross decided to go further. After stabilizing his political status, he began to extend his hand to the British Empire, wanting to control the military.

Ross knew very well that only by mastering military power could he realize his dream of dictatorship.

While using public opinion to criticize the Chinese Empire, Ross also used public opinion to put pressure on the British Empire's side, demanding the establishment of an inspection committee to investigate the internal investigation of the British Empire's side and investigate spies.

Ross occupied the righteousness, and the British Empire's bosses could not stop him, so they allowed Ross to establish a military inspector committee.

The inspector's committee has great power, which is somewhat similar to the German Nazi SS in history. The chairman of the inspector's committee is not a military minister, but Ross, the prime minister of the British Empire, opened the precedent for the prime minister to directly interfere in military affairs in the history of the British Empire and also kicked off the British Empire's dictatorship.

The inspection committee began to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the British Empire's Army and Navy. A large number of officers who were unwilling to be loyal to Ross were quickly labeled as a spy suspect and were quarantined for their posts. Their positions were replaced by officers loyal to Ross, and Ross even directly selected military personnel from his followers to serve.

As a result, the British Emperor's side was undergoing a major change, and Ross gradually became the supreme authority of the military.

After attacking the middle and lower-level officers, Ross pointed his butcher's knife at the British Council. The marshal, including Hans, was investigated and was expelled from the Military Council.

As a result, the British Council was gradually undermined.

It was not until this time that some knowledgeable people from the British Empire began to understand that the organizational forces opposed Ross's inspection committee's abuse of power and wanted to check and balance Ross and not let him take over his power.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Ross is not a fool. He knows that his power is limited, so he has already reached a secret agreement with the big men in his delegation. He follows Grant's example. As long as these big men support him, he will do his best to protect the core interests of these big men in the British Empire.

At the same time, Ross also won over the giants of all walks of life in the British Empire, promising that if they support themselves, they would allow them to regain their industry monopoly bosses.

By this means, Ross monopolized power and constantly eliminated dissidents, getting closer to his true dictatorship.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something is wrong!"

At the Edo Palace, Hirofumi Ito rushed into the hall in panic.

Knowing that the Emperor frowned immediately, put down the memorial and looked at Hirobuki Ito dissatisfied.

"Pay attention to your image, be a prime minister, why are you so panicked?"

Ito Hirofumi hurriedly accused him, then handed a ultimatum to Mingzhi, and explained from the side.

"Your Majesty, something big happened! A submarine in the Chinese Empire rebelled!"

Knowing that he had received the ultimatum, he had not opened it and read it, and he excitedly said, "This is a good thing!"

"Your Majesty, you'd better take a look at the ultimatum first! The Chinese Empire has put the shit basin on our Japanese Empire!" Hirofumi Ito knew that he was too anxious and did not explain clearly, so he let the Emperor know that he looked at the ultimatum first.

Nani!

Knowing that he was stunned, he hurriedly opened the ultimatum.

After seeing the content, he almost vomited three liters of blood.

Baga!

The Chinese people’s conscience is very bad!

Knowing that the Emperor could not help but curse, he immediately asked in a daze: "Is this really what we did?"

Hirobu Ito was speechless, rolled his eyes, trying to hit the wall with his head.

"Your Majesty, although we really want to do it, it's really not what we did!"

Knowing that the Emperor suddenly said, "So that's the case, I thought it was a big deal! Then tell the Chinese Empire, isn't it over?"

Hirobu Ito smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, don't you understand the tone and meaning of this ultimatum? The Chinese Empire is trying to put shit on our great Japanese Empire!"

Nani!

Knowing that the Emperor's brain has been a little slow recently, I don't know why, but in short, it's not as wise as before.

"You mean, the Chinese Empire is going to frame us about their submarine rebellion?"

"Yes, your majesty!"

Hirobuki Ito nodded with a serious expression: "Now the Commissioner of the Chinese Empire's Office in the Empire (the lowest diplomatic agency) has issued this ultimatum to us. They maliciously accused us of being the supporters behind the scenes, the reason is that the rebel Kim Sung-go had received secret financial support from the empire. They have reason to believe that the Assassin Alliance in their country is our Great Japanese Empire."

Knowing that the Emperor was furious, the first half was clearly slander, but he knew that the second half was true. The Assassin Alliance in the Chinese Empire did have secret support from the Japanese Empire, and one of the funds was sponsored by his own private money.

When I thought of this, I knew that the Emperor's confidence was immediately insufficient.

"This damn Kim Sung-woo, you can't do anything more than to lose! My Prime Minister, do you have any countermeasures?"

Hirobuki Ito said: "I don't know the purpose of the Chinese Empire's move at this moment, but it's nothing more than throwing dirty water on us! Since the empire did secretly support Kim Seung-go's Assassin Alliance, I'm afraid the Chinese Empire should have some evidence, which is not so easy to deny."

He knew that the Emperor said: "If the Chinese Empire had conclusive evidence to accuse us, what should we do?"

Hirobuki Ito said: "It's just that you don't admit it! But you must make some benefits, otherwise it will be difficult to calm the anger of the Chinese Empire!"

Knowing that the Emperor frowned, "We want to cut off the interests? We are members of the Allies. The Chinese Empire should not dare to be too domineering, right?"

Hirobu Ito shook his head and said, "You can't trust the Allies too much. Don't forget how the British Empire's non-resistance policy came about! Faced with the Chinese Empire's erosion, the British Empire could only tolerate it, because the United States does not support the war with the Chinese Empire immediately. We know that the current power of the Allies will have a very high possibility of defeat once the war starts with the Chinese Empire and its allies. Without full confidence, the United States will not start a war easily. At least before the Panama Canal is opened, the United States will not be able to start a war. So during this period, if the empire provokes the Chinese Empire, the United States may also make us sacrifice some interests and make concessions!"

Knowing that the Emperor sighed, he said, "Then you go and contact the Chinese Empire and see what their attitude is. If the conditions are too harsh, we would rather fight!"

Ito Hirobuki's eyebrows suddenly tightened and he felt a little nervous.

The Chinese Empire created public opinion in a big way, pointing the finger at Japan, and blamed Kim Seong-wo’s rebellion as the backstage of Japan.

As a result, for several weeks, anti-Japanese demonstrations broke out across the Chinese Empire.

The people were angry and demanded that the Chinese Empire government start war against Japan.

At the same time, the demonstration groups also smashed the Japanese office in China, scaring Japanese personnel in China hurriedly hid in the American Embassy.

As a result, the parade chased after the American Embassy to protest. If the Chinese Empire had not immediately sent police to block the crowd, they would have set fire to the American Embassy.

Although it was not burned, it scared the staff of the American Embassy.

The American ambassador to China immediately protested to the Chinese Empire's Liberation House, but was rejected by officials of the Chinese Empire's Liberation House.

At the same time, the Chinese Empire's Literary Court issued a serious warning to the United States. If it is found that there is a shadow of secret support from the United States behind Kim Sung-wo, the United States will also bear serious consequences.

The American ambassador suddenly became mute. As an embassy, ​​it sounds like an embassy, ​​but it sounds like a spy agency. This is a secret that is shared by the whole world.

Therefore, the American Embassy obviously knows that the Assassin Alliance of the Chinese Empire is indispensable behind the American capital and weapon support. Once the Chinese Empire cannot find out, a lot of them will end.

Therefore, the American ambassador hopes to close the case as soon as possible and not let the Chinese Empire suspect the United States, so that Japan can only fight against the situation.

In response, Japanese officials criticized America for being shameless, but unfortunately, people said slight words, Japan was weak and did not dare to offend America. The British Empire and the French Empire also expressed their hope to calm this matter as soon as possible and demanded that Japan take it over.

Of course, Britain, France and the United States said that the Chinese Empire would not allow the invasion of Japan and would go to war against Japan on the pretext.

So, the unlucky little Japanese had to cry and negotiate with the Chinese Empire. (To be continued.)
