Ito shook his head and said: "It's useless, water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness." At this time, Ito suddenly thought of the powerful Chinese leader, but then he threw this idea out of his mind.
He has a deep fear of the Chinese leader, and he knows very well that once the Chinese leader is invited to send troops to quell the rebellion, it will give the other party an opportunity to interfere in Japan's internal affairs. If this is the case, he would rather die than agree.
Ito sighed and said: "The only way now is to put all the blame on me alone and use my life to calm the anger of the people. Only in this way can we preserve the vitality of the country and give our Japanese country a chance to rise."
As soon as Ito's words came out, several people around him were obviously relieved, but Saionji, who had the best relationship with him, said anxiously: "This is too unworthy, not to mention these failures are all the fault of the navy, and you
what is the relationship."
Ito shook his head and said: "My old friend Ito has died on the battlefield and completed his integrity as a soldier. I don't want to tarnish his reputation after his death. I will bear all the sins. I am already old.
It’s no use anymore, so let me do something for the country one last time, and I’ll leave it to you in the future.”
After saying these words, Ito stood up slowly, bowed deeply to the king and the officials, walked out of the hall regardless of everyone's objections, and then walked straight across the wide square towards the gate of the imperial city.
.
"Alas, we let Ito down so much." Saionji sighed and looked up at the sky.
Katsura Taro on the side shook his head and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. His Highness lost his power but saved his life, but we were saved by Ito."
That day, the angry rebels beat Ito to death when he left the city alone. Later, the Guards Division also gave up resistance, and the rebels successfully entered the palace.
After placing all the blame on Ito, the officials were spared, but how could those soldiers who were not with them be allowed to ascend to high positions again, so those officials were dismissed, and the military took control of the country's highest level.
Power, while King Taisho was banned from the palace, became a spiritual symbol.
The first military government on Wangxiang Planet was established in Japan. Kato Ryuichi, who was executed by the Chinese leader, was revered as a national hero, while Ito became a criminal.
Soldiers don't just know how to fight. After they gained power, the five highest authority organizations were composed of Army Generals Nogi Nogi Nogi, Oshima Naoshige and Navy Generals Togo Heihachiro, Yamamoto Gonbei and Kato Yusaburo, an economic expert who had always been on good terms with the military.
People group.
After discussion, everyone believed that if the Japanese nation wanted to be strong and prosperous, the first thing it needed to develop was its economy, and the fastest way to develop its economy was to develop the military industry, which would drive the development of the entire country's economy. Only in this way could the country be strong.
Only when the country becomes strong can it be able to fight against the Chinese leader. Only when the right opportunity comes can it defeat the Chinese leader in one fell swoop and get back everything it has lost.
The top priority in developing military industry should be to develop the navy, because the Japanese country is an island country. If there is no navy, there will be nothing. Only when the navy is strong can it advance, attack, retreat and defend, and give full play to the advantages of the island country. Therefore, the new Japanese government wants to
The Chinese leaders issued a note and requested the restoration of the navy on the grounds that the contract had expired.
The contract has expired, and Japan already has a reasonable reason to resume its navy. It would be unjustifiable if the Chinese government stopped it again, so Fang Xiaoyu expressed his agreement with Japan's intention to resume its navy.
With this opportunity, Fang Xiaoyu is also thinking about expanding the naval fleet again. Now China has sufficient steel production and sufficient funds. Moreover, the power laboratory led by Benz has recently successfully experimented with a mature multi-stage impulse steam turbine.
There are sufficient conditions for all this.
After several years of focusing on economic development, the Japanese country is no longer what it used to be. Although the original government was overthrown, it had little impact on the economy. Although their national strength is far worse than that of the Chinese leader, without the drag of the navy, a gold-eating beast,
Their development is also very rapid.
Now the Japanese country has enough national strength to rebuild its own navy. The Japanese country has built several large shipyards in recent years, and they plan to build their own warships.
Due to lack of experience, they chose a cruiser for their first warship. Based on the Sarran Empire's latest 'Salan' class cruiser, they designed their own cruiser named 'Mogami' class cruiser and built it in two major shipyards.
China started construction of five ships at the same time.
China's warship construction goals are much clearer than those of Japan. With Fang Xiaoyu's grasp of future technological trends and his familiarity with the navy, he can naturally design the most cost-effective warships with ease.
After steam turbine technology matured, the design of a full-caliber battleship was put on the agenda by Fang Xiaoyu. The most excited person to receive this news was Xu Shouchang. Building this kind of dream battleship described by his teacher has always been the motivation for his work, and now the dream has been realized.
Naturally not willing to lag behind when given the opportunity, he immediately put down his work and rushed to Fang Xiaoyu's study.
"Master, are you finally planning to build a new warship?" Xu Shouchang shouted as soon as he entered the door.
Fang Xiaoyu said: "What are you doing with such a loud voice? It seems that you have been overpowered. Wouldn't it be better to ask you to design a new warship?"
Xu Shouchang said with a smile: "Of course it's good. These days, I've stolen money and done a lot of business, which made him keep complaining about me."
Qian Huilin was a pacifist, so he was very averse to designing military ships, so Fang Xiaoyu always asked him to be responsible for the design of civilian ships.
This Qian Huilin is also really talented in the design of civilian ships. In addition to conventional ships such as bulk carriers, ro-ro ships, tugs, etc., he also designed many special ships such as icebreakers, whalers, dredgers, etc., which made the Chinese leader
The construction of civilian ships is extremely prosperous, creating tens of millions of net profits every year.
Xu Shouchang said: "I recently designed a 20,000-ton bulk carrier. As a result, our own shipping company ordered twenty ships at a time, taking up more than half of Lao Qian's shipyard." Xu Shouchang explained Qian.
Huilin complained about his reasons.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Yes, the larger the cargo ship, the higher the cost-effectiveness, and the lower the freight for us to use it. I think you have a talent for designing civilian ships, so you might as well continue working on it."
Xu Shouchang said with a bitter face: "Master, you can't play tricks on me. I still prefer designing warships."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Do you still remember the kind of warship I told you before?"
Xu Shouchang nodded and said: "Of course I remember, that has always been my dream."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "You go back and design a warship like this and leave it to me tomorrow."
