Chapter 502： Far East Line (1)

The long Pacific route made Edel gradually accustomed to the turbulence of the sea. After the ship passed through Hawaii, Edel actually adapted to sailing at sea, so that Edel finally had the mood to appreciate the scenery at sea.

The Delsey cruise ship is a new cruise ship that has only sailed for two years. Its speed is also fast in the Pacific, so it only took more than 20 days to arrive at Edel's next destination, Japan.

Speaking of the later generations of Japan, many people have a heartfelt hatred for Qu. The reason is very simple because of the catastrophic war. As for now, Japan is the only industrial country in the Far East. This is indeed uncomfortable, but it is true. Although Japan's industry is not far from Italy's, it needs to consider the distance. It can be said that his influence in East Asia is extraordinary. Whether it is good or bad, it cannot ignore its role.

And Edel set foot on this land with such a mood.

Japan is also very interested in the visit of Edel and his party, the reason is very simple because it has something to do with the Soviet Union. Despite defeating this opponent in the Russo-Japanese War, Japanese people of insight can see that the only thing that can threaten Japan is this polar bear. As for the fanatical officers of the lower class Pingmei, they cannot influence the country's choice.

Therefore, the Japanese met with very high standards, and Prime Minister Kato Takaaki personally brought people to the port to greet them.

As Edel took Queen Mary off the boat, the music sounded, and the foreign minister Kihara Yoshijuro stepped forward to meet Edel's party and bowed.

"Welcome Your Majesty Edel to Japan."

Edel looked at him wearing glasses, and the somewhat good-looking Japanese Foreign Minister responded. "Thank you for your warm welcome, and I believe that the friendship between your two countries will surely be carried forward."

"Your Majesty is able to think so, it is an honor for the people of the two countries."

After Foreign Minister Kijuro Motohara finished speaking, he led Edel to Prime Minister Takaaki Kato, and it was another scene of friendly guest of honor. The welcoming ceremony looks magnificent, but it actually took a short time, because everyone knows that the boats and cars are too long and inappropriate. So after a brief conversation with the Prime Minister at the dock, a group of cars quickly left here when the military and police cleared the way.

And after sending Edel and his party to their place of stay, the next time is the rest time, and the next welcome dinner is the same. There is no way that this is a diplomatic visit routine, and no one can avoid it.

After talking with several important figures of the visiting group, Edel went back to the room and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Can you make a mistake in the welcome dinner next.

"Welcome to King Edel."

When Edel appeared at the welcome dinner, Prime Minister Takaaki Kato quickly greeted him.

"Thank your Excellency the Prime Minister for welcoming us. I believe that the cooperation between our two countries will be closer."

What cooperation Romania can have with Japan is nothing more than its policy towards the Soviet Union and its navy. As for other aspects, both countries have better options for discussing cooperation.

Edel's words made Prime Minister Kato Takaaki's eyes shine, and he replied. "His Majesty the King is right. Our two countries will reach a consensus on having a common goal."

Afterwards, Prime Minister Kato Takaaki led Edel to get to know the people at the welcome dinner. Saiyuanji Gongwang, Inuyangyi, Takahashi are famous and unnamed figures such as Qing and Yoshiichi Tanaka, and they are introduced to Edel one by one. And Edel also found that these are basically the Constitutional Council or its related figures. It seems that Japanese power is currently in the hands of these Japanese politicians.

As for the image of either the navy or the army as prime minister in the impression of later generations, it is still very early. Although these people are not known for their outstanding abilities, they are much better than the brash men who have more muscles than brains. So Edel was fairly comfortable at the welcome dinner.

Moreover, Edel also discovered from the conversation that the current mainstream of Japan is to resist the possible invasion of the Soviet Union in the north, and to hold back the development of the forces of the United States and Britain in the south. As for the current war-prone republic of China, it is poorly defined as economic colonization. As for the idea of ​​seizing its territory and relocating its own people, it has not yet been considered by those in power.

Only Edel knew that a great Tokyo earthquake allowed the Japanese to discover how insecure their country was, and it would also change the political structure of East Asia.

The welcoming dinner was very successful for the top leaders of the two countries. The Japanese side discovered a potential ally against the Soviet Union through temptation. And Edel also basically understands the attitude of the high-level Japanese government, which at least allows Romania not to lose out in dealing with it.

The next day, Edel's schedule came. In order to show respect for Edel, he will go to the palace today to meet with the Crown Prince Hirohito. This makes Edel, who wants to meet the idiot Emperor Taisho, dissatisfied.

There is no way. Emperor Taisho, who has already made a lot of jokes, how dare the Japanese government continue to let him make jokes, let alone Edel is still a powerful Western monarch.

The residence of the emperor of Japan was originally called the imperial palace, and the east garden was the residence of the emperor's family, and the meeting with Edel was also held here.

Led by the attendant, Edel walked through the palaces to the meeting place. Upon entering the door, a young man with glasses took the position of the owner, and Prime Minister Kato Takaaki and others stood beside him. At a glance, Edel knew that this was the only Emperor Hirohito who escaped punishment in the Axis of World War II in the future.

As for the current crown prince Hirohito, after seeing Edel enter the door, immediately led the prime minister to greet him in threes or twos. "Welcome the king to Japan."

Listening to the young Hirohito squeezing his throat and uttering the so-called crane sound, the translator on the side immediately translated it to Edel. There is no way that Edel doesn't know much about Japanese. He only knows that I am going to shame him and the most famous line of flax, and this is all he learned from Japan ***** and games in the previous life. As for other foreign languages, English and German, as well as the mother tongue of the previous life, Chinese, are spoken, but others are not at all.

So after the translator listened to him, Edel continued. "Thank you for your kind hospitality. Here I need to say thank you."

The next conversation between the two parties was carried out under the assistance of the translator, and it was basically courtesy. And Edel could see that the crown prince spoke some deliberately, as if he was imitating someone. Of course, Edel, who has learned from the materials of later generations, knows that this is imitating his grandfather Meiji.

The whole meeting couldn't be said to be how enthusiastic, because Edel felt awkward, mainly because the so-called Crane sound was uncomfortable. After finally grinding through this meeting, the next meeting with the prime minister and others will be much better.

"King Edel, your country's cutting off of the Soviet Union's tentacles to Europe is a powerful counterattack to its evil attempts. The outstanding performance of your country's army guarantees peace on the European continent."

Prime Minister Takaaki Kato put a high hat on Edel as soon as he spoke.

"Where, this is just a manifestation of the European people's unwillingness to break the peace. Our country has helped a lot in defeating other countries in the Soviet UnionWhere is this top hat Edel willing to wear, he immediately described it as a country. Credit for the help.

"But the Soviet Union will not give up on this, and our two countries are neighbors, so I think we can cooperate more in intelligence and military affairs."

Prime Minister Takaaki Kato immediately stated the purpose of this meeting.

"Indeed, the Soviet Union inherits most of Russia’s population and territory, and its size is terrifying. With its inspiring thoughts, this is our great enemy. And its thoughts also encourage people from all countries to resist the government, which is really better than Russia. A more dangerous existence."

Facing Prime Minister Kato's words, Edel naturally pointed out the worrying side of the Soviet Union.

"It's really scary."

Now that the two heads of state in charge have reached an agreement, then the next specific cooperation will naturally be left to the following for settlement. And Edel also took the opportunity to propose that he hoped to get more help from Japan in the navy. For the weak Romanian navy, Edel also broke his heart.

The Japanese side naturally talked about the naval cooperation proposed by Edel. In the end, the Japanese high-level officials who felt that Romania could not threaten him agreed to the cooperation. In return for Japan's willingness to cooperate, Romania will naturally strengthen exchanges in the army. In addition, they also sold a batch of petroleum products to them at a discounted price of 20%, which is now as good as Japan’s.

After talking about the general direction of cooperation, Edel enjoyed the scenery under the Japanese officials. The specific details of cooperation will naturally be done for you. After returning from the tour, Edel naturally saw the negotiated agreement on cooperation between Romania and Japan, mainly for Japan's cooperation in the army and the navy with Romania, and the two countries reached a shared intelligence on Soviet Russia.

And Edel also took this agreement and boarded the cruise ship to his previous motherland with satisfaction. At this moment, he seemed to have waited too long.
