Chapter 336 Decided to protect overseas Chinese
September 20, 1908, Tokyo, Japan, the weather was cloudy
At around 3 pm, Emperor Meiji, who had always been happy and angry, looked unhappy and came out of the Empire State Building near the palace.
The Indonesian intelligence network born some time ago was inexplicably destroyed, the food was mixed with opium, and the murder of Japanese expatriates in the United States, have not been properly resolved, which made Emperor Meiji very annoyed.
Returning to the palace dormitory, Emperor Meiji was silent and fell asleep until around 5:30 pm.
"I've had a sleep, and I'm much better." Emperor Meiji stretched his waist and said to himself, "I have been protected by God Amaterasu. After the victory of the Russo-Japanese War, everything was going smoothly. Why did you suddenly have so many unpleasant things recently? Alas, I'd like to pay more respects to God Amaterasu."
After dinner, Emperor Meiji was about to take a walk in the garden outside. The attendant came to report that Sukitaro had an urgent matter and asked for a meeting.
"Sir, he is here to see you"
The attendant left, and after Emperor Meiji sat down, he frowned and muttered, "What's the urgent matter? It won't be bad news again."
After a while, Kanetaro walked in quickly with anger
After seeing the ceremony, Emperor Meiji said with a bitter face, "Kitaro Sui, I have heard a lot of bad news recently, saying, "What's the bad news this time, let you come to see me at this time."
Kanetaro handed Emperor Meiji an extended telegram from Indonesia. After reading it, Emperor Meiji's face first seemed joyful and sad, but then turned angry, and said solemnly, "Convene a meeting of important officials soon. Humph, the Dutch had wronged us to support Indonesian xenophobia. Now, see what they have to say."
At 8:30 pm, Hirofumi Ito, Aitomo Yama Prefecture, Kotoko Nishienji and Foreign Minister Komura Sutaro and other most powerful officials arrived one after another.
Ito Hirofumi and others have obviously received news that the Indonesian Japanese overseas Chinese were massacred by Indonesian xenophobic troops. Before the meeting began, they were talking about it, strongly condemning the cruelty of Indonesian xenophobic troops and condemning the Indonesian Japanese overseas Chinese with heartache.
In fact, everyone knows it's the best opportunity for Japan to get involved in Indonesia
Yama Prefecture Aotomo's "Neighboring Army Soldiers" has long pointed out that Japan is an island country with barren land and the most lacking is food. In addition, Japan's own resources are not abundant, and its living space and environment are very unsatisfactory.
Nanyang is rich in resources and is a treasure land for grain production. For the Japanese, it is like a paradise on earth.
With the help of this incident, if we can take advantage of the opportunity to get Borneo in the future, we can echo Taiwan and take the entire wealthy Southeast Asia into our pockets.
After the meeting began, Emperor Meiji first denounced the murder of overseas Chinese people born in Indonesia, and then said sadly, "I seem to hear the wailing of the Indonesian expatriates. Everyone, what do you think you should do now?"
"Send troops to protect overseas Chinese" Youpeng in Shanxian has been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time, and shouted without hesitation after hearing this.
"But, if we send troops to Southeast Asia, we will be obstructed by Britain and the United States, which is not easy to deal with," said Foreign Minister Sutaro Komura.
"They will not obstruct this time," Ito Hirofumi said flatly, "The Indonesian xenophobia's bold and reckless army has hurt the interests of the British in Borneo. We send troops to protect the lives and property of the expatriates, and the Americans will not have any excuses to oppose it."
Xiyuan Temple Gongwang continued, "As long as the UK nods, we can act like a South Borneo. If we take root in South Borneo, we will not be able to let them do it."
"I have some concerns. Our intelligence personnel in Borneo have been completely lost, which has a great impact on our army's overseas Chinese protection operations." Xiang Keitaro pondered and said, "And, this matter is too strange, and I always feel something is wrong."
"So what if something is wrong?" Yama Prefecture Aritoto said coldly, "The Japanese Army is the strongest. In the face of absolute force, all conspiracies and tricks are useless."
Yes, even the powerful European power, the Russian Empire was defeated by the Japanese Empire. Are you still afraid of the native chickens and dogs in Borneo?
Yama Prefecture Akito said everyone's thoughts, and everyone looked at Emperor Meiji at the same time.
"I decided to send troops to protect the overseas Chinese." Emperor Meiji said frantically, "Just take the Indonesian xenophobic army in Borneo to let people all over the world know that if angers the Japanese Empire, they will suffer tragic revenge."
"Long live the Emperor".
