Taiwan has been officially annexed by the Japanese army since the Sino-Japanese Shimonoseki Treaty.

From that moment on, Taiwan's resistance movement never stopped. With the resistance of the local people and the secret support of the Qing Dynasty, the Taiwan Democratic Government organization was even established to armed resistance. More than a decade passed, and even in 1912, there were still established resistance organizations.

At this time in Taiwan, the leader who led the guerrilla warfare by the rebels was former Taiwan Minister of Democracy Li Bingrui. At this time, he had established contact with the Chinese Empire government in the mainland.

At this time, the call for the vigorous Xinhai Revolution on the mainland had already stimulated Taiwan's anti-Japanese war and made the Taiwan resistance movement, which had already fallen into a low tide, have once again become a trend of entering the **. Li Bingrui did not miss this good opportunity and sent people to the mainland to seek support early, expressing the wish of the Taiwanese people to return to the mainland. He established a relationship with the Imperial Intelligence Agency

"Haha! Is Japan's Katsura cabinet still holding on? It's already reached this level, and I still want to drag the Japanese to bury it together, and I don't want to find a decent way to end the war? I think these Japanese hard-core players still need a heavy hammer!"

The Imperial Cabinet, Minister of Transportation Tao Chengzhang expressed his feelings about the situation in Japan.

"We are still too small to attack Japan. Although the people of the Imperial Navy are all new recruits, Japan has no naval power now. Why not let them land on the Japanese mainland? There is also the Imperial Air Force, which can clearly set off from the North Korean front base and bomb the Japanese mainland, but it has been holding its troops. What kind of scene is this singing!"

Tao Chengzhang was very dissatisfied with the attitude of Emperor ** toward Japan, and showed his previous loud voice and angry youth. He pointed at the nose of the head of Emperor ** to blame him in the imperial cabinet. In fact, his attitude also represents the views of a considerable number of people in China about Emperor **.

Our China used to be limited in force and was always bullied. There was never a chance to show China's glory. Now, the Emperor** broadcasts the world and wins every battle. Why can't we beat Russia and Japan quickly and fight well?

Emperor ** side, Minister of National Defense, Chief of Staff of the newly established Army Staff Headquarters, and Director of the Military Intelligence Department Guo Jia had to explain in detail to him:

"Old Tao! As the Minister of Transportation, how could you not know that the importance of the five-year construction plan that has just begun in the empire, whether it is your three-horizontal and three-long railway trunk line plan, the construction of four major heavy industrial areas, and the reforms in the fields of agriculture and education, all of which require huge amounts of manpower and resources.

The power of the empire is now spent on these construction plans, how could it be possible to attack the Japanese army again? With the Japanese habits, if our army lands, if they come with us to death, it would be enough for us to drink. The current military power of our empire is strong enough, but the strong point is our elite. From a national perspective, our military strength is limited after all, and we are engaged in a war of destruction against a powerful country like Japan. It is still not enough to catch the strength. Just because the only four armies of North Korea that have completed the organization and construction are not enough to fill in the bottomless pit of Japan.

The other forces have not been completed until now. The reform of the national defense force in various provinces of the Empire has not been completed, and the best situation will be until the end of this year.

We are mortal enemies with Japan, and there must be a result, but now we do not have the power to kill the other party. It is impossible to surrender those Japanese guys who are willing to do so by just bombing the air force. Now, in the war between us and Japan, we have always controlled the intensity of the war and do not want to make a big deal. In fact, we just want to exhaust Japan's national strength in North Korea, create conditions for killing the enemy in one fell swoop, and by the way, we are also training troops for the future Chinese National Defense Forces.

"Oh! That's it!" Tao Chengzhang has a strong organizational ability, but he is actually not good at military affairs, and he doesn't even know much about the international situation, and he doesn't know much about the military's purpose in advance. This time he complained in the cabinet to purely replace the angry young people of the Restoration Association. However, after Guo Jia said this, he understood.

These people from the military are indeed all the most powerful conspirators! They have been waiting for Japan here for a long time!

Seeing Tao Chengzhang's attitude calming, Guo Jia curled his lips and said something else.

"Of course, the empire is actually another concern, that is, the Chinese Empire has already made enough international limelight. The potential threat alone has made the imperialist powers feel uncomfortable, as well as advanced air force airship technology and the powerful navy of the empire. If you invade Japan again, you will not be able to fight the war. Just talking about this international influence is serious enough.

A country has shown unprecedented expansion as soon as it was established. If Western countries don’t regard China as the number one enemy to defend against it! Europe’s Yellow Peril theory will become even more rampant. China is either a little Japanese or Japanese or no matter how hard it is tormenting Europe, it will not take its threat seriously, but we are different. If it is too arrogant at that time, it will be troublesome to make everyone in the world shout at it. Even our current quasi-ally German may also be worried, and it may not be possible to tear up the agreement with us.

In short, our reputation has been made and won what we want: Western countries attach importance to it, treat it seriously and equally, the country's complete victory, and the internal construction of the country, have ushered in investment and international support from Germany and the United States. Next, we don't need to be too arrogant. To make a fortune in a quiet voice, we must wait until our basic strength keeps up and become a real big power to have the confidence to start a full-scale war with the other side.

Now, we are still strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and we are still far from it!”

Tao Chengzhang sighed and said:

"Not bad! The empire is really in a mess now. If you don't get into this position, I don't know how big the gap between China and the West is. In terms of railway construction alone, there are too many places where we are inferior to those powerful countries and need to catch up.

But just looking at the five-year construction plan we have developed, haha! The construction speed that everyone is looking forward to is unprecedentedly fast! In the history of Western countries, there has never been a big-scale national construction like us! We Chinese are confident that we will catch up with them in a short time and become a real big country!”

"Of course!" The imperial prime minister Xun You followed Tao Chengzhang's words.

"But before that, we will break Japan's hands and feet first and turn them into a disabled force. Chief Guo, the issues about Ryukyu and Taiwan should be solved with the flow, and there are several islands in the southern Pacific of Japan. The empire's navy should extend their hands and feet to the Pacific Ocean instead of just spinning around at home. It's too boring!" Xun You and Guo Jia are old partners in the expeditionary army for many years. This is particularly casual when speaking, and it is normal to secretly mock Guo Jia.

"Yes! Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Guo Jia was not outdone. He replied seriously: "The Imperial East China Sea Fleet cruiser formation has been built, and he is about to cooperate with the main battleship to cover the army to land and reclaim Ryukyu and Taiwan Island. Ryukyu is easy to solve. The Marines of the Navy itself are enough to deal with, and it is not difficult for Taiwan. The Japanese army's current forces in Taiwan are all in the military and police. It is just a miscellaneous army of more than 10,000 people. As long as we land a regular army of a division, we can solve them. I wonder if you are satisfied with the Prime Minister?"

"You, you! Satisfied, satisfied!" Xun You shook his head at Guo Jia and laughed, having no choice but to do anything to this guy's pixie.

With a smile, the Imperial Navy and Army cooperated to recover Ryukyu Taiwan and decided to do so.

In June 1912, the Pang De Division of the First Division of the Imperial Army boarded a ship in North Korea and headed south along the coastline. It landed on the beach near Keelung, Taiwan. On that day, the cannons of battleships and cruisers roared across the sea. The shore fortifications built by the Japanese army were shattered. The landing craft equipped by the Imperial Marines slowly approached the beach under the cover of artillery fire.

Under the air bombing of the air force airship, although the Japanese army foresaw the landing location of the Chinese side, they could not organize effective resistance. They were forcibly landed successfully by the Chinese team. They then quickly marched into Taipei. On the 11th, the Chinese team defeated most of the Japanese army with their superior forces and captured the Japanese governor's office of Taipei, announcing the end of Japan's short-term Taiwan colonial rule.

At the same time, the Japanese rule in Ryukyu also ended, and the East China Sea Fleet of the Chinese Empire officially entered Ryukyu, hoping to establish this as the home port of the East China Sea Fleet.

In July 1912, the Empire's East China Sea Fleet marched into Japan and bombarded ports such as George Pope, Wu, Yokohama, Nagasaki. After that, the Empire's cruiser team was divided into three small teams and began to blockade the commercial transportation channel of Japan's long coastline. All ships from various countries were persuaded to retreat. All Japanese ships were sunk. In this way, they slowly bleed the Japanese economy.

In August, the hard-working Japanese military finally couldn't stand it and invited the United States of America to be a notary state, mediate the two sides of the Sino-Japanese War, and conduct bilateral negotiations in Shanghai. However, during the negotiations, they repeatedly questioned China's conditions and were reluctant to accept the treatment of the defeated country. They always wanted to use excuses to delay the negotiations and gain a fatal respite for Japan.

The Chinese Emperor was furious and interrupted the negotiations and dispatched navy to bombard Japan again. Under pressure from both China and the United States, Japan had to announce unconditional surrender, abandon its territorial rights in North Korea, Ryukyu Islands, and Taiwan, and ceded Seed Island and islands south of the Pacific as the territory of the Chinese Empire, and compensated the Chinese Empire for 200 million New Chinese currency for the Sino-Japanese War.

After the negotiations were reached, the news returned to China. Ayuto, a Japanese military veteran, vomited blood and died of death on the spot. Nearly one-third of the people in the military department committed suicide by cesarean sections within the next month. The Katsura Katsura's cabinet was called a traitor by the domestic people and stepped down collectively. Most of them were assassinated later. As the culprit, Katsura became a monk and became a monk. He never cared about the world. That month, Emperor Meiji died and Emperor Taisho ascended the throne. Nishizoji Gongwang was ordered by the emperor and had to come forward to form a cabinet again to save Japan.

Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, Japan and Russia all had all had their elite figures, and disappeared from the stage of the world. After the Meiji Restoration, the country's hard work, decades of hard work, lost a little results from the plunder of neighboring countries, and were completely defeated back to its original form, becoming the former remote islands overseas. The Meiji era, as one of Japan's most glorious peak times, has since become history. (To be continued...)
