Chapter 16 Reorganizing the Cabinet
"Baga!"
Amid the angry roar, Japanese Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma was angry in the office. No one in the entire office had the face to stand up straight except for the person who had Ka Nagao.
Needless to say, the Army, the two divisions that were added to them just now did not make them more powerful. Instead, an elite division of the army suffered heavy losses during the opponent's attack.
As for the navy, the naval master Yoshino Yoshino, who once mocked Yoshio Fujino, also bent down and stood in front of the angry prime minister, not daring to say a word.
The current situation is indeed very bad. Not only did the Qingdao army fail completely, but it is also said that the entire second fleet of the Navy has also been lost.
According to Yoshino Shingo's speculation, it is probably that these warships had sunk to the bottom of the sea. Yamamoto Iroku, who had been back in the United States, immediately wrote to the Navy after the incident. He believed that these warships had been sunk by the other party's torpedo plane. But this information was no longer placed in front of him, and it was obviously an old prime minister's table.
What made Yoshino Sunbu feel uncomfortable is that after the report reached the Navy Minister, he disappeared.
With his official position, he naturally would not understand the mystery.
He Changxiong, who had already started to use a large amount of unknown sources to organize his own intelligence personnel in the land, sea and air force, knew that the report had been handed over to the Army's Marshal Masato Tanuchi.
What does this mean? It represents the end of a cabinet, and it also represents the impending political emerging forces. With He Changxiong's eyes watching the Okuma Shigeshino's cabinet, which was walking around like a trapped beast, obviously had reached the end of the road.
Sitting in a wheelchair, his face was as quiet as water, and his eyes were chasing Prime Minister Shigeon Okuma. From his pale face, he probably didn't sleep much last night.
Faced with this dedicated prime minister, it is not a pity for him to have He Changxiong. At least his methods of dealing with Tang Yunyang have been recognized by others. This can show that in the next cabinet, the Prime Minister still has his status around him. Isn’t that enough!
"Mr. Prime Minister, now the news of this incident has spread throughout Japan. The people are already afraid of this self-proclaimed Chinese Defense Force. We must fight back. If we do not attack immediately, I am afraid..."
He Changxiong said this and stopped his words. I believe he didn't want to say the consequences, after all, that result would be a more serious blow to the Prime Minister in front of him.
"Yes, I know, I know!"
Faced with the result that he had to face in the end, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeshino Okuma let out a suppressed angrily scream. The loss of Qingdao has been reported and newspapers have spread throughout Japan. What is unbelievable is that the entire Second Fleet has been lost.
However, according to the analysis of his cabinet members, it is not appropriate to start a war with them at this moment. The most taboo thing during the battle is to not know the other party's strength. Now, let alone the other party's strength, except for the telegram descriptions sent by the remaining troops of Lushun and Dalian, no one in the country knows how the other party occupied Qingdao and how the entire Second Fleet destroyed.
All of this was very clear to He Changxiong, who acted as the inside. Although he didn't understand how the opponent could conquer Qingdao, which was heavily defended, it must be related to their unparalleled air power.
Therefore, in the face of the Prime Minister's irritability and the panic of the Army and Navy generals, he was the only one who sat firmly on Diaoyutai without saying a word, and the change of cabinet leadership had nothing to do with him.
What happened in Shandong this time caused the credit of Okuma Shigetsu's cabinet to be the most serious damage.
When he was attacked last time, he could still rely on the army. But this time, Qingdao, which was stationed in the Second Navy Fleet, was lost, and all the troops were wiped out, and no one escaped.
Also, under Hawkeye's surveillance, it is not easy to run across the ocean or run from land to the Beiyang Army.
Prime Minister Shigeshiro Okuma began to look back and sighed, repeatedly thinking about the current situation. What was not quite the same as others guessed was that he was not completely thinking about the situation of the war.
The current cabinet has completed its imperial tasks, mainly because the elders' greatest expectation from the Okuma cabinet is to suppress the political and friendly association and solve the problems of the unpopular army's two divisions.
Now that his official mission has been completed, he can't come up with any solution to the situation in front of him. Due to the next thing, Japan's Shigeshino's cabinet fell.
It seemed that the other party was deliberately attacking the two ports of Lushun and Dalian, which had been working hard since the Russo-Japanese War, shattering all the main protective forces there.
The rest was just a army soldier who had no resistance when facing the navy's large-caliber naval guns, and had cut off supplies. Now, let alone regaining the two ports, even the supplies for these soldiers to fight were not transported in half.
On the sea, it was completely blocked by the opponent's mines. The isthmus connected to the peninsula to the north of Dalian, which is only 5 kilometers long, became a paradise for landmines.
The convoys of large-scale transportation of materials on the ground were all blown into garbage by planes. Even if they were transported by camels, together with livestock and supplies, they became targets of bombardment when landmines exploded.
The problem now is that if the soldiers there are no supplies to be sent after the seventh day of the blockade, the soldiers there may not be able to hold on for a few days. Not only is it a food problem, but also can obtain some limited supplies on the spot compared to other consumption such as ammunition.
But what about ammunition? Without ammunition and supplies, the 38-type rifle on the soldier is not even as good as a fire stick. As for medicine, soldiers who are injured and unable to receive treatment will wail loudly because of pain. This is the most fundamental way to disintegrate morale.
As an old political leader who supports the country's top ranks, Okuma Shigenobu had considerable power despite being in the First World War. However, he was always an amateur in the military, especially this Qingdao incident was an attack launched by the Chinese people who had always looked down upon by the Japanese, which made the calls for war against China in Japan.
In the end, it led to the introduction of a cabinet with great military characteristics.
"Bilican" is a pointed god of blessing. Its name comes from English. It is said that it was created by American Adister in 1908 with the sixth sense obtained from his dream as the original form, and it was spread to Japan in 1910.
And Masato Tanuchi was nicknamed such a lucky god in English, so there is naturally a reason for this.
First, because the temple is bald, it is very similar to the Bilican doll; second, the temple cabinet ignores common sense of constitutionalism, and people use the homonym of "Bilican" in Japanese "non-constitutional" to call him. When it comes to the temple, he cannot be separated from the above second reason.
Before becoming Prime Minister, he served as the Minister of the Mainland and the Chief of South Korea. After annexation of South Korea, he served as the governor of North Korea, and implemented a brutal rule. Such a person is what the Japanese people expect to lead them to defeat China's emerging forces and continue to occupy a position in China.
On August 20, 1917, although the weather in Tokyo was clear, with sea breeze and smoke, it was a gloomy day for Japan's Shigeon Kazuno's cabinet.
On this day, the Emperor's Imperial Execution officially approved the resignation of Okuma Shige Nobuno's cabinet, and officially refused Okuma Shige Nobuno's proposal to recommend to the elder Yama Prefecture Akito, President of the Constitutional Comrades Association, Foreign Minister Kato Takamei, as the next Prime Minister, was also shattered by Okuma Shige Nobuno's last glimmer of hope.

During this period, the dissatisfaction caused by the "Qingdao incident" among the people must also be revealed. On the contrary, the military's attitude towards war was even more appreciated by the people.
On the same day, Emperor Taisho of Japan once again issued an imperial edict in accordance with the will of the people and appointed Masahi as prime minister. What excited the Japanese people was that the cabinet was established in just 6 days.
In the Cabinet of the Temple, the Prime Minister of the Temple was a direct descendant of the Yama Prefecture faction, which was born in the Naval Army of the Chateau Shrine. In addition to the Naval Minister of the Kato Tomosaburo, the others were also direct or side branches of the Yama Prefecture faction, and most of them were members of the Aristocratic House. Therefore, this cabinet was also called the "Father House Cabinet", "Private Cabinet" and "Criminal Government" by some Japanese politicians.
But it is unquestionable that the Tanaka cabinet began to mobilize the Japanese army and navy teams at the beginning of its arrival, which just met the request and gave a strong blow to the forces in Qingdao, China. The protests against the fall of the Okuma Shigetsuka cabinet fell, and all the citizens also entered a state of extreme excitement.
"He Jun, I heard that before the 'Qingdao incident', you had predicted that the other party would land in China. Why are you so sure?"
As expected, Kah Changxiong still sat on his comfortable wheel and became the new prime minister's adviser on China. Although he was once a figure in Shigeshinobu Okuma's faction, his judgment on the actions of the Chinese Baath Party had long been quite famous among Japanese politicians.
"Prime Minister, you may have heard that I was persecuted by a violent organization under that party, and finally went through a lot of hardships before fleeing back to Japan. Therefore, I have a little more knowledge of this organization than others, and even have a deeper understanding of it than that of Major General Fujino Yoshio who had met Tang Yunyang!"
Masato Tanuchi, who is much younger than Shigeon Okuma, is only 65 years old at the moment. He has participated in many large-scale wars and is a typical Japanese militarist soldier known for his toughness. At this moment, what he wants to find out is how much information can the Chinese issue consultant in front of him who is called "China Communications" to provide him with the enemy.
