Slide 1317
"The navy really did a good thing. With such a big advantage, it actually sent two battleships in a daze. There are also 120,000 tons of merchant ships. I think the navy needs to be replaced from top to bottom. These wine sacs and rice bags have been cleaned out."
Yutomo Yamaxian said to Prime Minister Katsaro, how should I put it, Yutomo Yamaxian now has a very complicated mood. He is happy that the navy has collapsed, but the loss of thousands of Japanese army personnel and the loss of a large amount of equipment makes him very unhappy. , Which brought his resentment towards the Navy to a new height! Therefore, before the others arrived, he didn't mind to fight the navy with Katsaro, who was also an army background!
"Okay, this time there was a reason." Although Kataro was born in the Japanese army, he was the prime minister after all, so his tendency should not be too obvious. Otherwise, those veterans should find their own trouble again. "Mr. Shanxian, if possible, when Mr. Xiyuanji comes, we'd better discuss the matter instead of discussing whether or not we should push some people down. The navy is still suppressing news. I don't want to make a fuss at this time. Some trouble." Kataro said with some dissatisfaction.
"Then what else can we discuss? Isn't this just to discuss countermeasures?" Shanxian Youtoo said indifferently.
"The failure of the navy has had a huge impact on the empire, and it has also brought a lot of shock. Whether we continue to fulfill the agreement with the British is not an important matter. After all, the navy is absolutely unable to produce an extra fleet. , And the army still has to implement it in accordance with the agreement, at least to transport the promised troops there first." Kataro looked at Shanxian Youyou and waved and motioned for him to finish.
"It is impossible for us to break the contract. Even if there is an accident, it is the same. Compared with the huge pressure that the Navy needs to face the Americans, it is impossible for us to squeeze the navy, which is not wealthy, at least until the new Fuso-class battleship enters service That’s right. After all, we are a sea power country. Without the navy, we are nothing. Some of the people above think so.” Katsutaro had already told Yamaxian Yutomo in rather obscure words. This is the opinion of the senior veterans. Unchangeable!
"Grass, what else do you want me to discuss?!" Shanxian Youpeng suddenly had a tendency to run wild. In his opinion, it is impossible for him to grab funds from the navy, not weaken the political influence of the navy, and not hold some people down for meetings that have no meaning to him.
"If your Excellency feels meaningless, then you can leave." At this moment, Nishiyuanji Gongwang, the commander of the joint fleet, Ijiin Goro, and the navy leader Yamamoto Kenbei walked in and looked at friends in the noisy mountain county. The top Japanese political tycoon unceremoniously snapped at the other side.
"From the current point of view, our policy seems to have some deviations. We may not be on the side of the victors in the future, and we are somewhat careless about the possible liquidation of Germany and the United States. This is the issue we are discussing today. If anyone wants to take the opportunity to raise other issues, then leave this place." Saiyuanji Gongwang, as a tumbler who has been standing in the political arena after the Meiji Restoration, doesn't need to give anyone a look.
"We have somewhat overestimated the strength of the British. Perhaps the victor of this war is not the Allies. This may be a very serious problem for us." After Saiyuanji Gongwang finished speaking, he looked around. "Of course, some people may think that it is too early to talk about this issue. It is not that Britain and France have no chance to comeback, such as opening up the Dardanelles. But we must make early arrangements. In addition, there are friends in Shanxian. I ask you to come. Asked this question."
"It would be very difficult to attack from the Strait direction. Perhaps the British naval guns do have advantages, but the environment on both sides of the strait is too dangerous for the troops to deploy. The British said that the threat of the Allied fleet has been resolved, but even the British They all admit that Earl Spey still has at least two super fearless ships that can be used. This makes the Dardanelles dominance of the sea a big variable. At least, I am not optimistic about the landing operations in the strait. "Shan County Youpeng thought. Think about the price the Japanese army paid for the capture of the Lushun Fortress during the Russo-Japanese War, and look at the current situation in the Dardanelles. This veteran who can also be regarded as a battle-tested veteran was not very interested in the British Strait plan. .
(Actually, there have been many questions within the British military in history, but there are some problems in the heads of the people in charge. Such things are everywhere in the world.)
"So from the land?" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang did not express his own opinion but continued to ask.
"Well, are you planning to let us down, or don't you?" asked a friend from Shan County.
"I personally feel that it is better to call it down. What do you think?" Saiyuan Temple Gongwang hesitated and said for a moment. If before, the Japanese were still considering whether to do something to end the Russian foreign aid channel, then at least Xiyuanji Gongwang is really scared. He worried that the Russians would be over soon, which would cause the war to develop to the side of the Allies, and eventually the United States and Germany would directly liquidate Japan! This result is terrible!
"Then our army's plan to advance northward is going to be ruined again?" There is a clear dissatisfaction in Shanxian Youpeng's wordsThe Russian tsarist government is not over, but Japan has no reason or motivation to advance northward. of!
"I now suspect that even with the support of the British, the Germans can still destroy Russia. What's more, if I have to choose between the collapse of Russia and the avoidance of German and American liquidation, then I would rather choose the latter. The collapse of the Russians is the icing on the cake for the empire, and if the price is the complete rise of Germany and the liquidation of virtues against Japan, then I would rather not collapse Russia." Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said calmly.
As Saiyuanji said, this time, Japan has actually reaped a lot of benefits. Expansion can be regarded as reaching the limit of history. It is naturally a good thing to get some benefits from the collapsed Russia. It's a pity that it's gone. However, if Russia collapses, leading to the defeat of the Allied Powers, and then leading to the re-entry of virtues into the Far East, then it will be no fun. Other than that, at least the former German Far East colonies acquired from Germany should be given to the United States, which is equivalent to giving This marks the American foothold in the Far East. If there are more deals between the United States, Germany and the Netherlands, maybe part of the Dutch East Indies they have won will be vomited.
