    "gentlemen¡­¡­"

    "sit¡­¡­"

    Li Han waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down. The attendant brought a basin of water from the side. He washed his hands, wiped them with a dry towel, and sighed.

    "You're here, which means something happened in the Northeast, right?"

    Huanggutun!

    For a moment, he thought of a certain place he had personally designated, another time and space, another time period, where a major event happened, a major event that almost rewrote the modern history of the Republic of China. But now, under his personal planning,  Next, another major event also happened at the same place, but the time was different, and the analogy strength of both sides was also different.

    "Sir, everything is going according to plan. We used the identified Japanese spies to deliberately expose the train ride that Syngman Rhee and others took. We also sent additional manpower and coastal guards, and finally forced them to take action in the only place where they relaxed their vigilance.  The Japanese bombed our military column, and Syngman Rhee has received the exact news and is dead!"

    Although the order was issued by Xi'an, the executors were the Investigation Bureau and the Northeast Military Region until the entire plan. It is estimated that there will be no more than ten people. Li Han and the others have dug a hole, waiting for the Japanese to jump in.

    "The war seems to be coming!" He sighed, signaled Li Donglai to be silent, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed the secretary's office, "Hey, is it the secretary's office inform the General Staff and the Ministry of Army and Navy's Munitions Department.  Sir, we had a meeting in the first conference room of the Presidential Palace for two hours"

    After hanging up the phone, Li Han sat down, lit a cigarette for himself, and took a long drag. "Immediately notify all the backbone agents of the Investigation Bureau in Japan and Southeast Asia to enter a latent state, and only focus on the 'whale' part."  Then I will arrange for the Japanese and Nanyang consulates to evacuate our overseas Chinese and evacuate some of our properties in Japan and Nanyang. Sell what needs to be sold and sell it to foreigners as much as possible, and don¡¯t let the Japanese take advantage"

    Li Donglai was shocked and looked up at him in surprise, "Sir"

    He shook his head, "Yesterday the new U.S. Ambassador Steady came to see me and had a roundabout talk. The key points were nothing more than two points. The first was to prevent us from sending troops to interfere in the Russian revolution. The second was that U.S. Secretary of State Lansing was preparing to visit China for the second time!  Although the time has not yet been determined, from what he said, it should be in June or July. As for the content of the negotiations"

    He paused slightly, "Far East!"

    His intelligence chief naturally knew that the Americans wanted to intervene in the Far East for more than a day or two. During the Qing Dynasty, Americans, under the cover of hypocrisy, had always been the vanguard of foreign powers' invasion of China in an attempt to carve up China and further expand the United States' influence in China.  After the revolution, the United States gradually changed its strategy. Like Latin America, it controlled China through economic export.

    In 1914, the trade volume between the United States and South America was less than 700 million U.S. dollars. By the end of last year, this number had changed to 2.632 billion U.S. dollars. After successfully turning Latin America into its own backyard, although the Americans have not yet fully digested the  Here, Americans are gradually turning their attention to Europe and Asia in the Old World.

    The Americans have already participated in Europe. However, due to the butterfly effect brought about by Li Han's layout a few years ago, although the Allies are already at a disadvantage, it may take some time for the Allies to completely collapse. The Americans have provided five supplies to the Allies.  The huge loan of more than one billion US dollars also provided 3.3 million troops. Unfortunately, because the Allies were still struggling, the Allies were unable to defeat Europe immediately, and the United States had no way to obtain the German colonies promised by Britain and France.

    As a result, some Americans began to turn their attention to the Far East, especially China, which they have been eyeing for investment in recent years. In the eyes of some, it is already a grown-up field of leeks, ready for harvest.

    From 2013 to 2019, in more than five years, a huge amount of US$700 million in capital from the United States flowed into China. Not only did it participate heavily in railway construction, but it also took up a large share of the shipbuilding and power plant industries opened up in the Republic of China.  Although part of the reason why Americans invest a large share in China is to support this country so that it can grow stronger and aggravate conflicts with Russia and Japan, more importantly, it is to cultivate China into a semi-sovereign country like South America.  It only needs to have a certain amount of military power that can inflict heavy damage to Russia and Japan when they invade. Being too powerful is not in the interest of the United States.

    It is precisely because of this that the U.S. government has continuously put pressure on China in the past two years to open up channels for U.S. capital to enter more fields and industries, such as military heavy industry, wholly-owned hydropower stations, and real estate.

    Although China and the United States are still in the honeymoon period, this time when Lansing visited, Li Han had a vague feeling that the visitor was not malicious.

    "Sir, what do you mean"

    "Zheng He's plan must be advanced. This time the Huanggutun incident just provides us with an excuse. In any case, let your people focus on the 'whale', and our Zheng He plan is likely to be here."?month!  "

    Li Donglai was shocked and lowered his head: "Yes!"

    A strong China is not in the interest of the United States. Therefore, from the beginning, Li Han did not regard the Americans as saviors. The balance of power strategy is something the United States learned from its ancestors, the British, and has been using it with ease in the Far East over the years.  The United States can arm Japan to fight against Russia, and it can also arm China to fight against Japan, but the United States will never allow the side it supports to be so strong that it affects the regional balance. At this point, the Americans have completely inherited the British and are better than the other.

    However, this thick-legged Republic of China will not throw it away casually. After all, with China's current national strength, although it has gradually revealed its status as a regional power, it is far from being able to become the hegemon of Northeast Asia, East Asia, and even the Far East. Let's not talk about anything else.  Just the presence of two behemoths, Russia and Japan, makes the Americans very relieved. Perhaps in their view, appropriately forcing China to make concessions economically does not hinder their plan to support China against Japan and Russia. It is also because of this that the United States  Although Secretary of State Lansing's second visit to China comes from an unkind person, it is not all bad for China. At least in Li Han's view, this is an opportunity.

    Therefore, in the current balancing strategy in the Far East, the Americans are undoubtedly on the side of supporting China. The weakness of the Chinese navy will make this country unable to threaten the United States in the next ten or twenty years. But Japan is completely different.  Not to mention that after Japan annexed Nanyang, it indirectly joined forces with Britain to control the Strait of Malacca. This is its ambition to continuously expand into the Pacific. It also makes the United States 70% likely to side with China after a war breaks out between China and Japan.

    Li Han smiled faintly. He could roughly guess the current main strategy of the US government.

    In Europe, the United States can adopt a neutral strategy in the early stages of the war, and then proactively intervene in the European war to seize the fruits of victory in the later stages. In Asia, especially the Far East, their strategy is to divide support, provoke conflicts, and focus on attacking Japan and Russia, two obstructive forces.  Their strategy as a regional power that intervenes in Far Eastern affairs

    China, which is not too powerful and has too many American interests, is naturally the country that the United States mainly considers supporting. So once a war breaks out between China and Japan, out of the strategy of weakening Japan and China, they may be in the early stage.  Mainly keep silent, and start to intervene in mediation in the mid-term. If China suffers in the later stage, it is likely to openly favor China to ensure that Japan will not be the dominant one.

    Why only consider the United States? Because now the only country in the world that can affect the Far East is the United States.

    Once the European War is over and Britain, France and other countries make a comeback, I am afraid that such opportunities will become less and less. By then, China will almost certainly have fewer opportunities to take back the Liaodong Peninsula and Taiwan occupied by Japan.  And when the time comes, Britain and France, out of the same hatred and hatred, are likely to stand on the opposite side of China and become the natural allies of the Japanese.

    Calculating carefully, there is not much time left for Li Han. Since the beginning of this year, Li Han has been paying attention to the development of the world situation, especially the situation in Europe. In order to prepare for the upcoming Sino-Japanese war, he not only conducted a  A series of military deployments, while also paying close attention to every move of the European diplomatic community

    Although I am surprised to see that the European War that was supposed to end at the end of last year has now been delayed for as long as half a year, but now all the disadvantages have hit the Allied Powers, Britain and the United States, have reorganized their coalition forces and are preparing to attack the Ottoman Empire.  Prepare to first force the Ottoman Empire, which is rich in mineral resources and human resources, to withdraw from the European War, and then take the opportunity to invade the Balkans and threaten the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Bulgaria.

    The European War will end within a year, which is an ideal prediction in his mind. From the current point of view, because of the United States' participation in the war, the potential of the Allied Powers has not yet reached its upper limit. Although the Allied Powers have introduced a series of national complementarities under his suggestions.  Cooperation strategy, but after all, there are many people and many internal contradictions, so that the potential of the Allies has basically been tapped. As long as there are a few big defeats, even if it is not a huge defeat, it is likely to cause other negative consequences.  chain reaction

    Therefore, although he is unwilling to admit it, an unfavorable situation is now before him. If the United States continues to increase its assistance to the Allied Powers, the European War is likely to end by the end of this year.

    For Europe, the European War changed the political landscape of the entire Europe. For China, the European War was a very rare strategic opportunity. It was precisely because the Republic of China seized this strategic opportunity that it was able to achieve great success in both economic and social development in a short period of time.  In terms of military and politics, good changes have taken place. Concessions and consular jurisdiction are just pustules on the wounds of the Republic of China. They only need to be patiently cleaned. It is only a matter of time to take them back sooner or later.

    "But the ceded territories, especially the Liaodong Peninsula and Taiwan occupied by Japan, are like long thorns piercing the body. If they are not picked out quickly, they will grow with the flesh in the future."??It's hard to get another chance

    It is precisely for this reason that Li Han resolutely chose war

    For this war with Japan, Li Han began to prepare for the conflict between China and Russia in 2014. It was the year-round preparations for the conflict between China and Russia that ensured the stability of material transportation channels. Now it has persisted for several more years. The Republic of China has made a lot of preparations for this.  , he is confident of winning this war

    No matter how high the cost, he decided to resolve the Japanese forces in China once and for all, abolish the Japanese privileges and concessions in China, annex Manchuria and take back the Liaodong Peninsula and Taiwan. As for North Korea and the farther Ryukyu Islands, they must also fight in this battle.  initially resolved in

    There is no doubt that the culprit that led China and Japan to go to war can only be Japan.

    Li Han had a few cards in his hand that he could play with. The first card was that during the Spanish flu pandemic in the past two years, Taiwanese compatriots suffered heavy casualties due to the deliberate indulgence of the Japanese. Therefore, the number of deaths was at least 50,000 to 60,000, but more  If there are more than 100,000 people, the second card will naturally be the bombing of the military column Syngman Rhee was riding in.

    The first card is just to aggravate the people's anti-Japanese sentiment and create an excuse for the government to interfere in Taiwan. Why? Because according to the unequal treaty signed between the Qing Dynasty and Japan, Taiwan has been 'legally' placed under Japanese administration, and this  One point is recognized by all the major powers, so China can only use it to accuse Japan, but not use it to attack Japan.

    The second card was played by China, accusing Japan of trying to provoke a war. Rhee Syngman and others were bombed under the protection of the military. Moreover, it was within the territory of China. According to the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of China, any foreign force deliberately planned  Malicious destruction of all military facilities of the Republic of China can be regarded as a provocation to war against the Republic of China. This is enough!

    The Huanggutun incident will not be the direct trigger for the war between China and Japan. This assassination can only be a match to light the fuse. Once the fuse is lit, China's war machine will immediately run at full speed.  Even if the situation does not develop as smoothly as Li Han expected, the war must continue until China wins

    The horn of war has sounded!
