Chapter 348 Showa Restoration (17)

“A lot of people are dissatisfied with the Navy’s actions?”

"This" Minister Kido hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

“Is there a clear reason?”

"There are many reasons, but it is actually very simple," said Kido. "The Navy recently set up a large area of ​​fields as a military meritorious field, and also controlled many rubber plantations, sugarcane plantations, etc., and planned to establish a favourite farm. These farms and plantations were originally handed over to various companies to manage and control, and used to offset their national debts. Now the Navy has not paid the national debts and collected the land, they think."

The Minister of Kidodo said one thing: When they handed over these plantations and farmland to the chaebols, they were given to the chaebols at a price far lower than the normal market price. The Navy's desire to collect them naturally involved compensation issues. The compensation price offered by the Ministry of Navy and the Military Command was twice the discounted price, which was allowed to earn 20%. However, how could the chaebols who were used to being arrogant and willing to accept such a price? The background of the backstage did not want to talk at all, and the background of the weak offered compensation requirements of 3 times, 5 times or even 10 times. Hori Teiki was already angry with the chaebols who took advantage of the situation. In this way, he simply did not discuss compensation and directly collected the matter.

Of course, if the expropriation is to be expropriated, the face should be acceptable. Just talk about the compensation issue slowly, and then talk about the expropriation first, but there is no conclusion on how to discuss and how to make up for it so far, so the dissatisfaction of the chaebols began to emanate. The less powerful people dared not speak, and the more powerful people such as Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Mitsui and others all protested.

"Southeast China has so many territory, why is the navy only focusing on these in their hands? Can't we go and make other ideas?"

"The Navy said that these are controlled by hostile forces and confiscation is reasonable. It is best not to move the property of local residents, so as not to cause resistance and make the gains less than the loss."

Hori Teiki has repeatedly considered this. Although all parts of Nanyang are currently under Japan's control, strictly speaking, Japan is preparing to "help" the local people's independence. It is natural to confiscate the industries of Britain, France, the United States and the Netherlands. It is a bit unreasonable to confiscate the industries of the local people. Maybe temporary force can suppress the resistance, but over time, it will eventually lead to unstable factors. It is of course inevitable to take advantage of some areas. However, the Shanghai Army strangely did not take confiscation measures against local industries and residents' property. Instead, it only deals with the local "autonomous regime" and asks them to provide some remuneration to Japan as a "thank you fee" that promises them their independence and autonomy.

The truth is just like supporting Boss to establish the Indian government. In order to gain Indian independence, Boss sent nearly 2,000 tons of gold and silver. As a result, Japan had not yet been warmed up and sent it to Germany and turned into arms. Now the claim for gold has come to an end, but the claim for Indian land and other industries has just begun. According to Yamashita Tomofumi's intention, all factories, railways and public facilities opened in India should be delivered to Japan. This is Japan's spoils. At the same time, India will also provide part of the land as a thank you. In addition, after Hori Teiki's persuasion, Yamashita Tomofumi also changed his mind and planned to support the large small states to form an independent regime. Boss's Indian National Government will rule an extremely loose confederate regime in the future.

The disadvantages are obvious, the central cohesion and centripetal force are insufficient; the benefits are also obvious. The so-called Indian Confederacy has a large territory. Except for Pakistan, which was independent and Ceylon, which was clearly occupied by Japan, others such as Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal (excluding the Guerlau part), Bangladesh is all within the territory of this Confederacy. This will be a loose regime with hundreds of languages ​​and nearly a thousand national states. Only Guerlau maintains its status independent of this system.

Of course, Tomomi Yamashita did this contrary to Japan's initial commitment to support Boss, but it was not obvious that because Japan only agreed to India's independence, it did not say that India's independence should be a highly centralized country. Besides, the elimination of Turkish states itself is the "evil policy" of the British. Japan now naturally hopes to "remedy the troubles", and the Turkish states that restore power are naturally happy about this. On the one hand, it firmly supports Japan's "help", and on the other hand, it resists the policies that New Delhi makes them feel unhappy. Yamashita's Indian governor is all the best and happy. Boss suffered a lot of losses and couldn't say that the last time Hori Teiki came to inspect Boss and was hiding but was angry. Fortunately, Tomomi Yamashita also understood his troubles and had already taken advantage of him and didn't want to trouble Boss anymore.

Some land was not the most intense response of the chaebols. The most intense response was the navy's control of Nanyang minerals and factories. The oil fields in Borneo had already agreed to be sold to the chaebols at a low price. Mitsubishi and other seven consortiums had been divided up. As a result, the navy said, "Oil is the lifeline of the country, how can it be granted privately?" Then the army, which had previously received cheap prices, was also happy to pretend to be confused. The Southern Army and the Navy directly took down the Borneo oil fields, and then other factories, copper mines, iron mines, and coal mines also experienced similar situations.

So the chaebols made a sour comment: Now the relationship between the Southern Army and the Navy is so good that it almost becomes a Marine Corps. However, Imamura Tsubasa also has a card in his hand: After the establishment of Manchukuo, the Kanto Army refused to enter Mitsui, Mitsubishi and other chaebols, and only gave the rights to the Manchurian Railway. Now the Southern Army is in accordance with the rules, and no one can say anything. With the Southern Army as the first lunar month, the Indian army can do the fifteenth, so the industries on India's territory are also divided up.

The only thing that has not been divided is the territory controlled by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. It is not that Okamura does not want it, but because Okamura controls the Shanghai black market and sells various Japanese products. At the same time, the Southeast area has introduced chaebols to invest in the establishment of industrial zones, so the cooperation between the two sides is still inseparable.

In this way, although Japan controls a large territory, there are not many places where the chaebol can really intervene and influence and enjoy rights. The conflict between the army center and the various vassal states is largely based on this reason. The navy simply added fire to the top in the end.

Hirohito knew this well, and he secretly hoped that the chaebol and the center would make a fuss with the navy, but now it seems that although the relationship between the two sides has deteriorated, it has not yet reached the point of breaking up.

"How is Jungami (the nickname of Prince Yuren of Chichibumiya) recently?" Kido originally wanted to explain a few more words, but he didn't expect Hirohito to directly ask his younger brother.

"This highness recuperates in the Gotemba"

"Of course I know, what I ask is, who is he dealing with recently? Have you ever had any contact with Horikun?"

"The Privy Councilor visited His Highness once, and only talked for half an hour, gave him a bunch of Western medicine and said goodbye, and the rest was no different."

"I've talked for half an hour? How long did I talk to me after another country?" Hirohito said to himself, "Is there 15 minutes?"

Kido was sweating profusely: When Hori Teiki came to visit, he participated in the whole process. The fool could see that the two were talking about the communication: one said it was thanks to "the ancestors and gods were blessed, and His Majesty was able to plan and be lucky to be unfair to his fate." The other said, "Your dear fellow, you have worked hard and made great contributions. How can you award merit if you don't have a duke?" The person who said it was not tired, and everyone who listened was tired. It would be good to be able to play Tai Chi for 15 minutes. Besides, is this interesting?

"You should pay attention to the words outside the palace and warn all parties that such words of slandering Horikun should not be spread any more."

The minister of the Kidodo face was bitter, but he had to bite the bullet and agree: "Yes, the minister obeys the order."

Based on his understanding of Hirohito, this sentence must be heard in the opposite way. The warning is false and the suppression is true. The more ruthless the suppression is, the more powerful the rebound will be in the future, but you still can't find any fault.
