Chapter 1078 Refused to support Japanese medicines
At this time, Japan was truly in chaos, the condition was serious, the export industry was stagnant, and the country was in trouble.
Seeing that the Chinese people were declining and constantly saying they were tortured, the Japanese cabinet government finally couldn't sit still. On the day the Chinese government regained the Belgian concession in China, the crazy Japanese Emperor Taisho was rarely awake. Looking at the newspaper, he actually said to the cabinet ministers: "Compared with the survival of Japan, the Chinese concession is irrelevant. We can also discuss exchanging drugs and ask the Chinese government to redeem it."
"Your Majesty, our great Japanese Empire cannot retreat." The Japanese cabinet veteran, Duke Nishiroji, cried loudly.
The young and energetic regent Yuhito said: "Your Majesty, this move will surely push our great Japanese empire into the abyss. Please consider it carefully."
“How many people died yesterday?”
"Hundreds of people." said the police department quickly.
Emperor Taisho shook his head and said, "There is no need to lie to me, hundreds of people? Even the palace has people taken away by isolation. How could it be seven hundred people?"
Hirohito said: "Now our country has followed the Chinese government and has begun to implement a quarantine system for Chinese people and has gradually promoted it nationwide. Kyoto is only the first step."
Emperor Taisho sighed and asked, "Everyone, who can drive away the plague gods on the head of the Great Japanese Empire?" The Japanese politicians were speechless.
"Is the Chinese government's medicine useful?" asked Taisho.
"There is no evidence to prove that it is useful, and the Chinese government just said it is suspected to be useful. At the same time, several major pharmaceutical factories in the world have recently launched their own anti-jvis drugs, which cannot be guaranteed to resist." Interim Cabinet Prime Minister Yasuya Uchida. Yasuya Uchida is a Minister of Foreign Affairs, while the former Prime Minister is Tomosaburo Kato, who was a naval officer.
However, Tomosaru Kato was unfortunately... he was diagnosed with JVS flu on August 14, and he was suffering from cancer. It was difficult to support him, so he entrusted Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida as the post of interim prime minister before going to the hospital.
"China, we must conquer China!" Taisho suddenly jumped up, pulled out the samurai sword in his hand, slashed his mouth left and right and shouted: "We will conquer with force, one left and one right. The previous one, the next one..."
Hirohito and others looked at each other and said, "I'm done crazy again." Emperor Taisho was hugging him and took him down."
Subsequently, Japanese Regent Hirohito discussed the domestic epidemic with the Cabinet veterans. The epidemic is only one aspect. What is more important is that only by curbing the epidemic can we re-trade with European and American countries. The first stop to termination of trade is China under the leadership of the abominable Wang Maoru. It can be said that China knocked down the eighth hammer of closing the country, which led to the world following the trend and ending trade with Japan. Trade between Japan and even American countries, especially the United States, was completely interrupted. The Americans said it well that they will always stand with the Japanese and find common interests, but after the outbreak of the flu in Japan, the Americans were the second country to abandon Japan. Even Luzon (now the Philippines) colonized by the Americans followed the United States and ended their exchanges with Japan.
The simple epidemic cannot make the Japanese cabinet anxious? What they are anxious about is that Japan's trade has been interrupted due to the epidemic. For Japan, an export-oriented country, this is a fatal blow to them.
At this time, Belgium made huge profits by selling it to the Chinese Belgian concession in China, and signed a private signing very quickly, deeply shocking the Japanese cabinet.
Then the Regent Yuhito immediately asked the cabinet to come up with opinions to deal with the return of Belgium to the Chinese Concession.
Cabinet veteran Nishienji Kotoshi, acting Prime Minister Yasuya Uchida, Internal Affairs Minister Reitao Mizuno, Army Minister Hamano Yamanaki, Navy Minister Tobiraki Hirohiko, Otagisa Minister Ichiri Yoshihiko, Cultural Affairs Minister Eiyoshi Kamada, Justice Minister Keijiro Okano, Agriculture Minister Kentaro Arai and other major members held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Navy Minister Tsaibu Biao immediately said: "If the Chinese government proposes the same conditions to the Japanese government, the cannons of the Imperial Japanese Navy will tell them the answer."
"Now the Chinese government is unwilling to open the customs when it dies. Do we use cannons to open it? Even if we can use cannons, how can we let the Chinese buy our goods?" Minister of the Taoist dying minister, Ichiro Okihiko, said with a wry smile.
"You can pry open the door of the expenses first to pry open the door of the world." Prime Minister Yasuya Uchida sighed.
Minister of Internal Affairs, Reitaro Mizuno, said: "What we need to do most now is not to open the door to the Chinese market, but to eliminate domestic jvis. Only by eliminating Jvis Japanese products will not be rejected. If China refuses at that time, we will have reason to pry open their doors with cannons and even occupy Manchuria."
Whether to open the market first or eliminate the flu first has become the focus of debate among the Japanese cabinet officials. If you open the Chinese market, you must eliminate the flu. However, to eliminate the flu, you must do business with the Chinese. Now the Chinese are unwilling to do business with Japan and are trapped in a vicious cycle.
"Even if the isatis root powder and Tamayuan drink mentioned by the Chinese government have no effect, these two drugs are already very famous in Japan. We can calm the emotions of the Chinese people by purchasing them from China." Minister of Culture Eiyoshi Kamada suggested.
At this time, the King of Nishiyuanji spoke. His right to speak was very important. When he opened his mouth, no one could make a sound. He said: "It seems that we can only eliminate jvis by pacifying the hearts of the people in the country first. I support the purchase of some medicines, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs still needs to develop drugs that can treat jvis as soon as possible."
"Yes, Mr. Sen, we will definitely work hard as soon as possible." Interior Minister Reedar Mizuno said respectfully.
On the same day, Japanese Ambassador to China Isaburo Yoshida received a decision from the domestic cabinet and immediately gritted his teeth to find Chinese Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang, hoping that the Chinese government could consider selling isatis root powder and Tamayuan drink to Japan. Lu Zhengxiang replied again that these two drugs have now become bargaining chips for the Chinese government, and we only accept the use of them to redeem the concession. No matter how much money we have, we don’t need it, please go back. Similarly, Lu Zhengxiang also responded to other powerful envoys who came to buy medicines. However, for those countries without concessions in China, Lu Zhengxiang was relatively polite, saying that a small amount could be provided to the country for urgent needs. However, for countries with concessions with China, Britain, France, Japan, Italy, and Portugal, the Chinese government has an extremely clear and firm attitude, and only exchanged drugs for concessions will not be sold outside.
Since the Chinese government had shot and executed 16,000 speculative merchants and citizens who sold medicines to foreigners or others, it is very difficult for Japanese people to buy medicines from ordinary citizens, let alone buy them directly from the government. The Chinese government has no humanitarian spirit and only considers the most Chinese practices, which has made many countries angry. However, since various pharmaceutical factories have successively launched drugs that are suspected to be anti-jvis, it can fool the domestic citizens.
However, after comparison, the medical departments of various countries also found that compared with the various drugs they produce, the anti-jvis effect of China's isatis root powder is slightly better than that of the drugs produced in the country. So much so that rich people and nobles have tried to get Chinese medicine, but foreign citizens are not fools. With the use of Chinese magic Chinese medicine, we use domestic medicines with high prices and low effects?
Now, Japan is in trouble again, and Nishiyuanji Gongwang had to hold a cabinet again to study whether to follow Belgium. But before that, news suddenly came that Italian Minister Fulundino accepted the instructions of Italian Prime Minister Mussolini and officially prepared negotiations with China on the Italian Tianjin Concession.
