Chapter 59 Matsui Ishine and Okamura Neji are excited
"Do you think His Majesty will agree to our sending troops to fight in Songhu?"
"Today I have been persuading His Majesty anxiously and nervously, and told a lot about the benefits and benefits we have gained in the Northeast! But His Majesty's expression does not seem to have changed much!"
"So now I still don't know what His Majesty's inner thoughts are."
"What do you think? Okamura-kun!"
After Matsui Iwane ate something,
Especially after drinking some drinks, his face turned a little red, and he asked Okamura Neji.
"It's hard to say! I have been secretly paying attention to His Majesty's expression for a long time today, but I can't tell what his inner thoughts are. Does he agree with our battle proposal? Or does he disagree?"
"Your Majesty is so deep, I'm afraid it's hard for us to know his inner thoughts!"
Okamura Neji also drank some wine and responded with a red face.
In fact, his current mood was the same as that of Matsui Iwane, who could not guess what their Majesty was thinking at all.
"I hope your majesty will allow us to send troops to fight! For the prosperity of our empire, it is the best way to divert the attention of all foreigners to other battlefields!"
"Even if we attack Songhu this time and fail to win or gain any huge benefits, as long as we can divert the attention of foreigners to the battlefield of Songhu, then we will have the opportunity to stabilize this huge natural resource in Northeast China.
Resource base!”
"Then we can lay a firm foundation for the development of our empire!"
"As long as we lay the foundation for military industry and the basics of domestic life, food and clothing, etc., then our empire can rise in the world and will never lose to those foreign countries!"
After listening to this, Matsui Iwane also had mixed emotions. His face was full of expectations, hoping that their majesty would approve their proposal and send troops to fight in Songhu to divert the attention of all foreigners.
And it would be best to gain huge benefits in this new battle.
It can be said that at this moment, Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji are both very ambitious. They all have a common goal, which is to annex a large amount of the territory they are interested in attacking.
Develop your own domestic economic development and industrial development to make your country prosperous,
Become a country as powerful as foreigners.
"It should be possible!"
"I believe that our Majesty will definitely approve our combat proposal this time!"
"Your Majesty will definitely be like us and hope that our empire will become stronger and stronger!"
"Ever since those damn foreigners used their guns and fleets to open our door, we have been pursuing change. It is amazing that we can rise so much now!"
"So we will not return to the era of falling behind and being beaten, and being bullied by foreigners!"
When Matsui Iwane's words fell, Okamura Neji also responded with a drunken look and firm eyes.
"Well! I appreciate your words! Okamura-kun!"
"Come! Cheers to the prosperity of our empire!"
Listening to Okamura Neji's relatively drunken words, Matsui Iwane was also emotionally excited and responded drunkenly.
He also raised the wine glass in his hand and clinked glasses with Neji Okamura.
"Okay! Cheers!"
"For the prosperity and prosperity of our empire!"
"We have to work hard!"
"Matsui-kun!"
Okamura Neiji also became emotional and had an excited glass clink with Matsui Iwane.
Then, he drank all the remaining wine in the glass in his hand.
Then, the two of them clinked glasses a few more times,
Until both of them were extremely drunk.
When the warm sun shines on the earth from the sky the next day,
The two of them just woke up from the tavern,
The private room in this tavern was reserved by them.
The owner of the tavern saw that they were all drunk, so he asked someone to cover them with some quilts.
Let them spend the night here without disturbing them.
Just after the two of them woke up,
I met Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki and the Chief of Naval Command, Prince Hiroyao, who had jointly sent personnel.
"What!"
"You didn't lie to us!"
"His Majesty really agreed to our sending troops to China to fight Songhu?"
When the visitors told Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji that their Majesty agreed to their war proposal,
Matsui Iwane was filled with excitement and excitement, his eyes widened, and he kept questioning the other party.
Next to him, Neji Okamura was equally excited, trembling as he waited for their response.
"Hai!"
"For the detailed situation, you two still need to go to see the Prime Minister and the Chief of Naval Command immediately!"
"We are just here to convey what they said. We are not very clear about other situations!"
But facing the excitement and excitement of Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji,
The people who came to deliver the message were full of anxiety and nervousness as they responded.
"Okay! Take me to see His Excellency the Prime Minister and His Excellency Prince Bogong immediately!"
Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji nodded in agreement without hesitation.
At this moment, the elation inside the two of them was simply indescribable.
It really made them excited and happy.
"Hai!"
"Please follow us!"
"Major General Matsui, and Major General Okamura!"
The person who came to deliver the message immediately agreed.
Immediately, Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji didn't even clean their teeth and wash their faces. They hurriedly followed these people into the car and headed towards the Prime Minister's residence.
That night, Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji also shouted excitedly and boarded the warship back to Tohoku.
Because they finally got the result they wanted and could finally send troops to fight in Songhu.
They must bring such good news back to the Kwantung Army as soon as possible and prepare troops for battle.
Although the people who ostensibly agreed to send troops to fight this time were the Prime Minister and a large number of other high-level officials, as well as high-level officials from the Army Department and the Navy Department,
But they all knew very well that without their Majesty's private nod and tacit approval, no one would dare to agree to such an important matter of sending troops for combat.
........
........
For Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neji, and getting the results they wanted,
At this moment, Zhou Wenhua had no idea at all.
Anyway, for him, he knew very well when the first Battle of Songhu broke out and what troops the Japanese army would dispatch, so he didn't pay attention to these things.
Now, he is developing steel and machine tools for making firearms and mortars, as well as researching the combination of raw materials and formulas for making new toys.
So he is also very busy.
In particular, the problem of purchasing steel raw materials troubled him even more.
