Chapter 2482： Japanese little moves one

"We have tried this question. Some people in Germany had similar ideas, but they were eventually rejected by the top. Bavaria played a very important role in it. The crown prince was reluctant to form an alliance with us." Kato Gaoming helped Glasses, said with some regret.

"Is it because we put him in danger?" said Gonhei Yamamoto. Of course, this sentence is a bit of a joke. After all, a politician cannot influence the country's decision-making for his own personal reasons. But how to put it, in a country with very large remnants of feudalism like Germany, personal factors and likes and dislikes can really have a huge impact on national policies... So, this matter is embarrassing.

"There may be this reason, but according to the outflow of news, the Germans have other reasons. The Germans believe that the core areas of Germany are in Europe, Africa and West Asia, and Japan is in the Far East. The distance between each other is too far. For Germany In other words, it is impossible for Japan to really support Germany's actions in the above regions, so this kind of alliance has no value, but it also bears the risk of being hostile to the United States. Another reason is that Germany and Austria can coordinate steps, or Germany can Control the actions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But they cannot control Japan. For Germany, this uncontrollable ally will drag Germany into a completely unnecessary war. Therefore, the Germans have no intention of forming an alliance with us." Kato Takaaki said.

"Hehe, this explanation is rather interesting, it seems they are afraid that we are another Italy." Yamamoto Quanhei said.

"Actually, the Germans are right. We really cannot act according to the German baton. We are completely different from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy. The power of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is much stronger than ours, but they and Germany The interests of the two parties are highly consistent, and because of the special political system, the relationship between the two parties is unusually close. Italy is weaker than us, and it is very close to Germany and Austria, so even if there is dissatisfaction, we will not act rashly. But we are different. The strategic frontier and core interests of ours and the Germans are actually quite different. The Germans’ choice is understandable,” said Gongwang Xiyuan Temple.

All alliances are utilitarian, which is understandable. Only when both parties have interests, the ally relationship is considered to be consolidated, such as the Allies and Allies. This time, the Japanese decisively wanted to use Germany as a big tree to fight against the United States, and if necessary, they might also take action against British colonies in the Far East.

However, whether it is prematurely hostile to the United States or Japan's encroachment on the British colony, what does these things have to do with Germany? Germany now wants to be a full-fed dragon, wants to digest the things in its stomach, but really doesn't want to move or fight. Helping Japan in vain for a so-called good-looking alliance? Germany is not so stupid, OK! As for Japan's exchange of benefits? What price can Japan offer? Germany does not want to expand its sphere of influence in fifteen years, and the benefits Japan needs are of no significance to Germany!

And looking at Japan's performance in World War I, the performance of merchants from the beginning to the end, there is no awareness that as an ally should pay the price, so Germany will naturally not choose to form an alliance with Japan. Xiyuanji Gongwang understood this very well. He actually proposed to form an alliance with Germany with the idea of ​​seeing if he could make a profit. If he failed, there was nothing to think about. He could only say that the other party was not fooled...

But for Masaichi Terauchi and Gonbei Yamamoto, the Germans' refusal to form an alliance made them feel greatly humiliated. According to their thinking, Japan can be regarded as a great power anyway. Germany and Austria can form an alliance with Turkey, so why reject Japan? ? Haven't you seen the British Empire? He was so strong before World War I, and the world's well-deserved hegemon, didn't he also choose to compromise with Japan in the Far East?

"Even if Germany has an advantage in the future, we cannot do exactly what the Germans think. We have to let Germany know the influence of the Japanese Empire in the Far East. Even in the first years of the rise of the empire, we will face all aspects of the world. We are also actively responding to challenges, and now, we are a hundred times stronger than before, and there is no reason not to respond positively." Saiuchi Masaichi said.

Anger is one aspect, but the most important thing is that a country with certain strength and ambition will never succumb easily even when facing foreign powers stronger than itself. They have always emphasized their independence and status in the region. Even if it is not good in action, you have to do something verbally or in some small actions to remind others that this is the case in Japan now, and it is the same in later generations that call the Indian Ocean the Indian Ocean....

"So what do you think of the monarch?" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang asked.

"First of all, we can be sure that the Germans want the Russian Civil War to last as long as possible. The British also seem to have the idea of ​​interfering in the Russian Civil War. We can make a fuss about this aspect. If we can fight with the Russian internal forces To reach a treaty, the latter recognizes the empire’s privileges in Siberia. Then we can help this side quickly end the civil war. In this way, we can obtain the interests and territories of the Russian Far East without falling into a war of attrition. Middle," said Masaichi Temple.

"HahaAccording to what I know about the Russian people, they are unlikely to tolerate our encroachment on hundreds of thousands or even millions of square kilometers of land without being indifferent. This treaty is difficult to sign, and even if it is signed Now, the Russians will also break the contract at the right time." Yamamoto Quanhei said.

"The cost for the Russians to do this will be very high and very dangerous. We know very well that since the end of the Russo-Japanese War, except for the short period of 5 years, Russia has been experiencing wars! By now, they have been exhausted. The saddest thing is that after the war, it is still difficult for Russia to obtain external support to recover itself. After the Pacific War, we have the ability to get Britain to agree on Russia. The Germans will not help. Russia is restored. In this way, Russia's external channels are completely controlled by us. In this case, the Russians must weigh it if they want to retaliate." Said Masaichi Temple.

The opinions put forward by Si Nei Zhengyi seem to be somewhat Liao Zhai, but in fact they still have some truth. First of all, in terms of Japan’s interests, what Japan wants is Russia in parts of the Far East. The war is only a means, not an end. If it can gain territory by signing a treaty with a certain faction in Russia without bloodshed, then it is natural. Is the best result.
