This guy is also a fierce man. He was the king of spies during the Meiji period in Japan, and played a very important role in the secret front of the Russo-Japanese War. Interested readers can find out.
"General Akashi? If I remember correctly, he should be in Tokyo now, preparing to report on his work?" Saiyuanji Gongwang asked.
"That's right, he will return to the Philippines in two weeks." Kato Gaoming said.
"Very well, I think it is necessary for us to discuss certain things with this general. You can arrange it." Saiyuanji Gongwang said to Kato Takaaki. However, the attitude of Saionji Gongwang made Yamamoto Gonhei very uncomfortable. This is not only because there is an army member who has been valued, but because he is worried that the future Governor of Kalimantan will also be a person born in the Japanese army? Did the army take away all the benefits that the navy has worked so hard to obtain?
"This guy is not in good health and will not live for a few years." The words of Yasuo Shimamura next to him made Yamamoto Kenbei feel a little relaxed, and he was somewhat satisfied. Shimura Hayao's words are not wrong. Akashi Genjiro, who used to be the most powerful person, is also late. In history, this guy died in 1919.... It's really been a few years.
However, Gonbei Yamamoto must also admit that if the British are allowed to build a bridge, and then press the head of the Russian to make Russia accept the terms of Japan, then it is indeed a very good choice for Japan to avoid prolonged occurrence on the northern line. In the Great War, a considerable part of the force can be used to support the direction of the Pacific. And the Japanese can take the opportunity to deal with some of their outdated weapons and equipment.
As for whether the Germans will react? For example, after seeing that Japan and Russia temporarily reached an agreement, no large-scale war broke out. Will the Germans be upset? Discomfort is one aspect, but I guess, maybe, maybe there won't be much reaction, right? After all, the Germans have achieved their goals and Russia has become a landlocked country. As for the future, Russia and Japan will live in peace? This, I can only say dreaming. The Russians' obsession with the Far East ports and territories is unimaginable for the Japanese. Therefore, even if there is a relatively mature plan, Xiyuanji Gongwang can only guarantee a 10-year peace period between the two countries!
Therefore, Xiyuan Temple probably pondered, as long as Russia loses the Far East port and the eastern section of the Trans-Siberian Railway, as long as Russia and Japan do not come together, then the German strategic goal will be achieved, so even if it will be unhappy, Or if you play some tricks, it will not be too much, and Japan has got rid of the situation of two-front combat. This seems to be a good result?
"Of course, you should not relax your vigilance in the temple. After all, he will only consider surrendering if he hurts the Russians. Therefore, the army still has to consider a few tough battles." Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said.
At this level of the meeting, Japan has already had a general response to the future situation. Regarding the issue of the Russians on the Northern Front, the Japanese high-level is prepared to follow the method of Akashi Genjiro, first contact the British, and then see if it can be. Temporarily reached an agreement with the Russians. Regarding the issue of the Pacific theater, the Japanese navy delayed as much as possible while preserving its strength.
Regarding the treatment of the Germans, on the one hand, Russia’s access to the sea in the Far East must be blocked, because the Japanese cannot give up the interests they have already acquired. There is no way that many people have died of greed, the country is also, and the Japanese are not. Dare, after all, if the North really gave up and Germany was pursuing and fighting in the Pacific battlefield, if Japan had to take back all the territories occupied by the Dutch East Indies, then Japan would have nothing to do. After all, Americans have this idea, and if Germany also has this idea, 90% of it can do it!
As for the fact that the Germans did not excessively weaken Japan's strength and objectively reduced Japan's containment of the United States? How do you say this question? Sometimes, people or countries will be more reckless, and if you don’t listen to me, I will lose some benefits and you will lose more! Anyway, Germany does not have much interest in the Far East. As for Japan? it depends on you!
On the other hand, the post-war indemnity demanded by the Germans is also very uncomfortable for the Japanese, because this amount will definitely make Japan feel very painful! At least 800 million pounds or more! Calculating the expenditure on the battlefield and the inevitably overspending war budget, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang feels big!
what? Do you want to lose this indemnity? Do you know the concept of 800 million pounds? This is equal to 8 billion yen, 16 billion marks! The value of so much money has given the Germans a reason to kill Japan! When the knife really rests on the Japanese neck, it will not be 800 million pounds!
Otherwise, give money, or kill it. This multiple-choice question is actually not difficult for Japan to make a choice, really... After all, the saber of the German Empire can be sharpened fast enough!
"Your Excellency is still satisfied with the results of this meeting?" Kato Takaaki said to Saiyuanji Gongwang after the navy and army representatives left.
"It's okay, at least we temporarily resolved the contradiction between the navy and the army. At the same time, we deployed in the direction of the Pacific. Akashi Genjiro's suggestion is very good, and it eased our pressure on the northern line." Saienji said.
"So is it necessary for us to continue to contact Germany?" Kato Gaoming asked After all, judging from the current timetable, the Pacific War has entered a countdown!
"Maintain moderate unofficial contacts, but don't make too many demands. After all, in this era, it's up to who has the bigger fist. We must at least gain some advantage on the battlefield before discussing other things." Saiyuanji Gongwang said.
Three days later, Gonbei Yamamoto left Japan for the Philippines. A week later, the Japanese combined fleet stationed in the Philippines set up anchor for Kalimantan. With the Suxiong fleet arrived on the west coast of the United States and headed for Pearl Harbor, Japan The fleet also began to travel in batches from Kalimantan to the joint fleet anchorage in Guinea. On the same day, the last group of air fleets allocated by the army took a steamer to Guinea. On the way, the Japanese navy found an unknown submarine trying to track the fleet. , But was then dispersed by a destroyer. For a time, the entire Western Pacific region was full of war clouds. Both sides have entered the final stage of preparation for war!
With the arrival of the Su Xiong fleet at Pearl Harbor, the Americans finally completed their final preparations before the war! Less than two weeks after the Su Xiong fleet arrived at Pearl Harbor, the US government officially declared war on Japan. Less than a year after the end of the First World War, the rumble of gunfire resounded over the ocean again. !
