Japan, Tokyo, Prime Minister's Office. The current Prime Minister Aritomo Yama Prefecture is holding a meeting of five ministers. Ito Hirofumi's third stoppage of the post was over in just half a year. The changes in Japan's cabinet are frequent and no country can match it.
This is the second time that Yuto Yama Prefecture has come to power to form a cabinet. The first time he has come to power to form a cabinet was ten years ago. As one of Japan's political veterans, Yuto Yama Prefecture has a very high status in Japan's political arena.
At the same time, he was very tough from the army. This may be the reason why he was able to form a cabinet in such a critical moment. This is already the ninth cabinet in Japan. After Ito Hirofumi's third cabinet was over, Okuma
Chongxin also came to power for more than four months.
The current five ministers in the cabinet are Prime Minister Akito Yama Prefecture, Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki, Tibetan Minister Matsuka Matsuyoshi, Lu Prime Minister Katsuka Katsukaro, and Hiro Prime Minister Kobe Yamamoto. These five people have become the most powerful people in the Japanese cabinet. At the same time, they are also responsible.
The heaviest person. Everyone knows that Japan is at its most critical moment now. A war between China and Japan may happen at any time. Japan needs a strong government. This is why the main members of the cabinet this time are
The reason for hawkish characters.
"His Excellency Prime Minister, colleagues. The conflict between China and Russia has temporarily stopped due to the weather. However, according to the news we have obtained, the Russians suffered huge losses, with thousands of casualties, while the Chinese people only lost or not
A hundred people were reached. In addition, the Chinese army also attacked the Russian consulate in Kulun and arrested all the Mongolian rebels hidden inside! This time, the Russians lost face! However, overall, Russia still accepted the empire
With the US's advice, no war on China was declared, which prevented the empire from immediately getting involved in the war against China!" Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki said.
"Yes! The empire is not ready yet, the navy's fleet has not returned to China. There are only two "Fuji-class" battleships in the country, and two "Fujishima-class" battleships will not be completed in the middle of the year. And the four powerful Chinese people
The 'Chinese-class' battleship has been put into service, including several powerful secondary battleships. If the war begins now, it will be very unfavorable for the empire!" said Mizuno Yamamoto Honbuki. As the founder of the Japanese Navy
I. Yamamoto Honbuki has a very high prestige in the navy. However, he has to admit that the gap between the Japanese Navy and the Chinese Navy has not only not narrowed, but also has a tendency to expand. The Chinese Navy is not counted as the Pacific Fleet, it has 6
There are powerful battleships, and there are still battleships under construction. In addition to the two "Fuji-class" battleships that have been in service and four battleships that have not returned to China, only two battleships are under construction. The longer the time is to be dragged
, the worse it is for Japan!
"The Chinese infantry firepower is very strong. Although there are great weather factors, they can repel the Russian attack at a weak price, which all shows the strength of their equipment. Prime Minister, I ask the cabinet.
Strip a special amount as soon as possible to increase the firepower of the Imperial Army. Otherwise, we will fight against the Chinese army again and it is likely to fail!" said Lu Sui Kaisharo. He served as the war four years ago.
The commander of the Third Division had a deep impression of the strong firepower of the China National Team after experiencing the Battle of Shanhaiguan. Although Japan had made further improvements. But even four years later, Japan
The Army cannot compare with the China Team four years ago. Not to mention the China Team now, it must have made great improvements.
Prime Minister Aritoto Yama Prefecture couldn't help but frown. Although Japan has increased its military expenditure in the past few years, overall, the main direction of arms construction is the navy. This is determined by Japan's national conditions. Japan is an island country.
Surrounded by the sea, without a powerful navy, it would not be able to land on the mainland at all, let alone expand the territory for the empire. However, Katsura's words also made a lot of sense. The Shanhaiguan War four years ago was commanded by him.
At that time, the Japanese Army had to resist the powerful firepower of the Chinese Army with the lives of soldiers, which made Yama Prefecture very angry, but there was no way. Now, the Japanese Army and the Chinese Army seemed to be directly in terms of firepower.
There is still a very big gap. This makes him feel a little pessimistic about the upcoming war.
"The cabinet will find ways to collect more funds to improve the army's equipment!" said Youpeng of Shanxian.
Kazumatsu Fang Masayoshi talked, but in the end he didn't say anything. The current Japanese government has been deficits in finance, owing huge foreign debts, and cannot repay annual fiscal revenue and even interest. Where can there be any excess?
Funds are going to improve the army's armed forces! Japan has already pulled the bows and arrows. If the bowstrings are not broken, they can only shoot the arrows in their hands. However, after shooting, it is difficult for them to do what the result will be.
Expected.
"His Excellency Yamamoto, when will the navy's warship be returned?" asked Yuto Yama Prefecture. This is the main issue today. Now in the UK, Japan has four battleships, six armored cruisers and more than ten destroyers.
.This fleet is very important to Japan and is the most important force in the confrontation between Japan and China.
"His Excellency Prime Minister, Commander Hirahachiro Togo has arrived in the UK and visited Sir Frederick William Richards, the British Navy Secretary. The fleet is expected to set off in five days to return home. However, the Admiralty is worried that the Chinese Navy will take the opportunity.
Stop our fleet and start a war ahead of time! If the fleet is defeated, then the fate of the empire can be imagined!" said Yamamoto Honbuki.
Everyone had a serious face. The war four years ago was the Japanese Navy that lost the war, which led to Japan's major losses. Now it seems that all this is likely to be re-stated.
"If the Chinese Navy takes action against the Imperial Fleet, are we sure to win?" asked Yutoto Yama Prefecture.
"Prime Minister, although I am unwilling to admit it. However, if the Chinese Navy really launches an attack on us, the Imperial Navy has no possibility of victory. It has been confirmed that the newly-served "Chinese-class" battleships of the Chinese Navy have a comprehensive combat power in the Imperial Navy.
More than twice the battleships. Just four "Chinese-class" battleships are enough to defeat the Imperial Navy. Not to mention that the Chinese Navy also has two "Sichuan-class" battleships with strong combat power and a large number of inferior main battleships.
!" Yamamoto Honbuki replied with some frustration. Although he was unwilling to believe that Japan had worked very hard, the gap in national strength could not be made up.
Yupeng, Shanxian, suddenly became gloomy. The navy occupied most of its fiscal revenue, but it was still like this, which made him very angry. Although he knew that the Navy had tried his best, he was still angry.
Come one place.
"So, is the Admiralty Department able to deal with it?" asked Yuto Tomoto of Shan County.
"His Excellency Prime Minister, we have asked the British Navy to send warships to escort our fleet back to China. However, the British Navy refused. They only agreed that our warships would hang the British flag. Now, no one is sure, the Chinese people
Will the British give face and will they attack our fleet with British flag? If the Chinese attacks, we will have to fight to the death. In order to increase the chance of winning, the Admiralty intends to use the two Fuji-class domestic ships
'The battleships sent out to join the returning fleet. In this way, we can concentrate the size of the six battleships. Even when facing the Chinese Navy, we have the power to fight!" Yamamoto said with some bitterness. He knew that if China
The Navy is ready to take action against Japan, so the Japanese Navy will have to fight to the death. Apart from that, there is no other way.
"These damn British people, I think they want us to fight the Chinese people to the death, and then they get the bargain behind. They don't think about it. If we are defeated, China will rise in the Far East, and then it will
A great empire that even the British could not do anything to the world. The entire Far East and even Asia will be shrouded in pressure from the Chinese people again, just like the past few thousand years!" Foreign Minister Aoki Shuzo said hatefully.
"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, please contact the British side again and explain to them the danger of the empire's defeat. Please send a fleet to return to the country with the empire's fleet!" said Yuto Yama County. Although this is a shameful situation, there is no way to do so.
Things. Japan is unable to face China, so it can only place all hope on the British.
"His Excellency Prime Minister, the army also needs to mobilize. If the navy is defeated, the Chinese will definitely not give up landing on our homeland this time. At present, the 23 divisions of the army cannot effectively defend the Japanese archipelago. We need to go again
Mobilize more troops. In this way, even if the navy is defeated, we can still defend the security of the emperor and the country. If the Chinese realize that landing in Japan will cost a huge price, perhaps we can end the war with decent satisfaction!” said Lu Sui Katsura Kaedaro.
Then, then
"A decent end to the war? If you lose, the empire will completely fall into the abyss. Borrowing from Western powers alone is enough to make the government go bankrupt." said Kazusatsumatsu Fang Masayoshi.
Everyone was silent. Everyone knew that what Kazusatsu Kazumatsu said was true. Only by defeating China and obtaining huge war reparations and benefits can Japan get rid of the current crisis. But does Japan have a chance to win?
?
"Everyone, no matter what, the empire has no way out. Fortunately, the empire is not fighting in isolation, and we still have allies. As long as everyone works hard, the final victory will definitely belong to our great Japanese Empire!" Yuto Yama Prefecture said in a deep voice.
Then, then
