Chapter 1078： Cant get down (2/2)
That is to say, the results have not been announced to the public. If the British knew that all the staff of the Russian embassy were killed, I am afraid they would not support us.
Inferring from the current situation, if we cannot give the international community a reasonable explanation, the empire is likely to be sanctioned.
The current situation is very unfavorable to us. If the Russians take the opportunity to attack us, the international community is likely to support them. ”
There are only problems and no countermeasures, which is the true portrayal of the Japanese government. It's not that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not working hard, it is that the matter is too big, it is too bad, and there is no room for operation.
International politics also has rules of the game. If the rules are broken under the background of weak strength, then they will be punished by the rules.
Prime Minister Okuma Shigenobu: ”Things have already happened. It is not impossible to hide. It is certain that the empire will pay a price.
What we can do now is to find a way to minimize the impact of the incident and at the same time minimize the loss of the empire.
It is best to be able to find out who is behind the incident. If we can point to other countries, our responsibility will be much lighter.
Based on the analysis of the situation at the scene, does the gendarmerie have any clues? Even if the real culprit cannot be determined, the suspect is fine. ”
Although knowing that the probability of detecting a black hand is very low, Okuma Shigenobu can only choose a dead horse as a living horse doctor. If we don't find a back-up to share the pressure, the Japanese government is really going to back it up!
Kodama Gentaro shook his head directly: ”It's difficult! There are too many suspects, and we have no evidence in our hands, and there is no way to prove it.
Even if the murderer is caught, it may be difficult to determine who is the real black hand. The planner can completely pretend to be a personal grievance killing.
If it cannot be proved that it was a political assassination, then all the responsibilities will still be borne by us. ”
Analyzing purely from the perspective of interest, those who want to provoke the Russo-Japanese War may be the suspects who planned the incident.
At this point, there is no way to look down. The biggest suspects are the Japanese military, Britain, and Shinra, followed by Spain, the United States, and the Far Eastern Empire.
No matter who the black hand is, it certainly cannot be the top three. No matter how big the suspicion is and there is more evidence, it must not be.
The second echelon can indeed throw the pot away, so you have to show evidence first. Who would believe it?
Maybe he didn't throw the pot out, and he made another enemy for himself, and that would be the end.
There are friends in Lu Xiangshan County: ”Prime Minister, do you think the Russians will believe if we give a man behind the scenes?
Things have reached this point, and there is no possibility of relaxation between us and the Russians.
Even if the Tsarist government could resist the outbreak, once the Siberian Railway was opened to traffic, the Russians still had to move eastward, and a war would still be inevitable.
Rather than waiting for the Russians to come to the passive challenge, it is better to start preparing now and start before the opening of the Siberian Railway.
As for the international impact, they have reached the present stage. They are nothing more than an apology, compensation for the family members of the deceased, and pledges to countries to prohibit similar situations.
If you get a deal, just talk. If you don’t agree, it’s a big deal to accept sanctions. As long as the empire lowers its attitude, European countries will not send troops.
You can rest assured that such sanctions cannot be sustained. As long as our war with the Russians breaks out, the British will find a way to help us lift the blockade, and I believe Shinra will not stop it.
Even if it is blocked, we can still smuggle. Unless countries send fleets to our doorsteps to suppress smuggling, otherwise the blockade will exist in name only, and capitalists have ways to circumvent it.
What is really affected is grain and other commodities. As long as we are united in one heart, this period of hardship will soon pass. ”
Politics is complex and changeable. Analyzing issues from different angles, they draw different conclusions.
The diplomatic censure, which was regarded as a scourge by civilians, became an opportunity in the eyes of the main combatants.
At this moment, the Japanese government is like being forced to go to Liangshan and can no longer go down.
With the last layer of window paper being pierced, all the fantasies of Zhuhe faction are also shattered. Everyone realized that the Japanese-Russian War was unavoidable, and the difference was only a matter of time of outbreak.
The atmosphere in the room has become more depressing. It is related to the fate of the country, and no one dares to make a decision easily.
After a long time, Ito Bowen took the lead in breaking the silence: ”The Japanese-Russian war is indeed unavoidable, but it is not the time yet.
The Russians need to wait for the railway to open to traffic, and the empire does not need time to prepare? With the current state of the empire, there is no ability to fight a big battle at all.
What's more, there is an ambition behind this, which is even more unpredictable.
If you don't get this guy out, who knows what else will happen, the empire can't stand them. ”
While speaking, Ito Hirobumi also turned his attention to the military representatives, as if to warn them not to play with fire.
It was not only Ito Hirobumi who was suspicious, but also Emperor Meiji's eyes when he saw the military generals changed, as if he was searching for something.
No one likes to be suspicious, but military generals are now elusive. Mo said it was the civil officials who were suspicious, even they themselves were suspicious of each other.
This style of doing things is too much like the operation of the Army. Especially the radical groups that planned this parade are inextricably linked with the military.
Even if the shooting incident that detonated the scene was not planned by them, they would still be inseparable from the violent attack on the Russian embassy and the destruction of the Russian diplomatic staff in Tokyo.
Everyone is smart, and naturally knows that if no one takes the lead at the scene, even if there is a shooting incident, the scene will not immediately lose control.
Apart from other things, the direction of the bullet must be determined first, right?
I didn't want to think about anything. I rushed to the Russian embassy as soon as I shouted the slogan. When the incident happened, the police were all transferred. It was a coincidence.
Too many coincidences added together, it is no longer a coincidence. Especially in the context that the murderer was not caught, everyone thought of more.
Perhaps other international forces have the ability to plan shooting incidents, but it would be too nonsense to say to control the marching people.
You must know that fanatical national radicals are extreme patriots, and it is not easy to buy them off.
To be able to accurately grasp the time and place to ambush, if you say that you have not prepared in advance, no one will believe it.
It is not something ordinary people can do to receive news in advance, and quickly evacuate after shooting, leaving no clues.
Whether international forces can do it, everyone is not sure, anyway, the Japanese military can definitely do it. Deep down, everyone's fear of the military has risen to more than one level.
Emperor Meiji: ”Ito-kun is right. The man behind the scenes must be found, or the empire will never be peaceful.
The gendarmerie immediately arrested the organizer who planned the demonstration, strictly investigated the instigators behind it, and ordered the school to strengthen control and ban these illegal organizations.
In addition, strengthen the police equipment in the embassy area and prohibit any demonstrations from approaching the embassy area. ”
Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone could tell from the eyes of Emperor Meiji that he was suspected of going to the military.
It is impossible to explain. The Japanese military is also full of hills, and there are a lot of messy groups. The military itself may not be able to figure it out.
There are a few brain-disabled guys occasionally, which is completely normal. I think that when Nicholas visited Japan, he was assassinated by guards arranged by the Japanese government.
Regarding the prevalence of extremism in the military, the military's top leaders are also very troubled. I've been trying to solve it all the time, but unfortunately, it didn't work well in the end.
Packing tickets for this group of guys is definitely a performance that is tired of living. No one knows what wonderful things this group of extremists can do.
In fact, at the beginning, some people in the military proposed to send a few dead men to the embassy area to make amends and give an explanation to the international community. Even some people in the army signed up and prepared to dedicate their lives to the great cause of the empire.
Fortunately, a friend in Shan County had been exposed to Western culture and stopped in time. Otherwise, it is not to sacrifice, but to add fuel to the fire.
