Chapter 2304 Japanese One
"I never thought that an empire that had stood on top of the world for hundreds of years would collapse in an instant! In just two years, the British Army was wiped out, and in just a few hours, the British Army, known as the world's number one, The fleet crashed into the sand in the Norwegian Sea. More than 20 years of hard work and hundreds of years of glory have come to naught. Now, there is turmoil in India, the British colonial system is in turmoil, and the building is in danger of collapsing almost overnight It really makes people shudder." Japanese Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato said with some emotion in the official residence of Xienji Gongwang.
When the dust of the Norwegian sea war settled and Germany and Britain began negotiations, Japan, as far away as East Asia, was also considering its own future! The British have gone from an empire on which the sun never sets to a land where the sun never sets. So what about Japan? Will it follow in the footsteps of the UK?
There were not many people attending the meeting. There were only four people in total. They were Komochi Saionji as the host, Takaaki Kato, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Gonbei Yamamoto, the representative of the Japanese Navy, and Masaki Terauchi, the representative of the Army! The key point that led to this meeting is also the uprising that is breaking out in India!
After the defeat of Britain, the Japanese cabinet and the military have discussed the crisis and military preparations that Japan will face many times. The Japanese are very clear that it is impossible not to cut their flesh this time. For the sake of face, people want the Japanese to spit out a piece of the colonies they acquired during the war, but how much do they spit out, and what is the bottom line of the United States and Germany? What is the current political attitude and position of each country? These are not the Japanese can determine. Therefore, in Xiyuanji Gongwang's view, Japan's current political and diplomatic levels feel a little bit dark.
The Americans don't have to think about it, if possible, the Americans even want to sail their fleet into Tokyo Bay! German? In the eyes of the Japanese, the Germans have every reason to deal with themselves, whether it is Japan standing on the side of the Allied Powers or robbing the colonies ceded by Germany to the United States. But from a strategic point of view, the behavior of the Germans is more like a beating or limited revenge. After all, Germany has now given up its military and colonial demands in the Far East, and its interests are already very small, so the Japanese feel that the Germans are fighting The possibility of this is very unlikely, and even the Japanese government has proposed the idea of softening the Germans in exchange for the opponent's stop.
Of course, Japan has very little influence on countries at the level of virtue and virtue, and from the perspective of being lenient to the enemy, the Japanese first assume that virtue and virtue will jointly take action against Japan, and then prepare for war based on this. But in addition to virtue, there is another country that is very important to Japan today, and that is the British Empire now! Although the British Empire has fallen, it can't be called a big, nor can it be called an empire, but hundreds of years of accumulation and advanced technology are still very important to Japan today!
Among other things, the British inventory of weapons, equipment, and ammunition in Southeast Asia and South Asia, which is known solely from Japan, is a very large number for Japan. Although this plane of Japan is stronger than in history, it is a pity that it is still far behind Britain in terms of industry.
However, the attitude of the British towards the Japanese was not good before, and they seemed to have plans to abandon the Anglo-Japanese alliance and switch to the United States. This is definitely not good news for Japan, which may be facing a war at present. Especially after the meeting between the representatives of the United States and Britain, the hearts of the Japanese were raised in their throats. Some radicals claimed that Britain should be given a little color. However, under the suppression of Xiyuanji Gongwang and others, the Japanese government decided to wait and see what happened. Until now, after learning that the talks between Britain and the United States broke up unhappy, the Japanese finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Temple Lord, this civil strife in India will not have anything to do with you?" After the meeting started,
Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said as if pointing. When some people in China proposed to take action against the British, some people proposed a plan to block the British in India. However, Xiyuanji Gongwang, who is well aware of the so-called tradition of lowering and lowering in Japan, naturally has reason to suspect that this is the army's solitary behavior, so he asked such a sentence.
"Absolutely not. Those who propose to cause trouble in India simply have no common sense. We don't have much power in India. The more practical thing is to instigate rebellion in British Southeast Asia, such as Sarawak and Malaya. If things go well , we can even add some colonies." Terauchi Masaki said.
"Well, it's better if you don't do it, and I repeat, at this stage, no Japanese can do anything that will damage the relationship between Britain and Japan, whether it is in India, or the British colonies in Southeast Asia, this kind of thing Not allowed! Do you understand? Monarch of the temple, if I know, then I will never tolerate it!" Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple rarely speaks harshly, but when he decides to speak harshly, it means that he will definitely honor it! Therefore, everyone here dare not take this Japanese political boss lightly!
"Because, in my opinion, the civil strife in India will be a very small turnaround for the already deadlocked Anglo-Japanese relations. If we operate well, there is every chance that the British will be tied to our On the chariot, I think, as the high-level officers of the navy and army, you should have a very deep understanding of our equipment level, and how many of the core equipment comes from the UK, you should know something in your mind?" Said Xiyuansi Gongwang, his words China did not mention the issue of the Anglo-Japanese alliance anymore, because in his opinion, if the Anglo-Japanese alliance was considered to be a willingness of both sides before, then now, the British are no longer willing, but because the facts do not allow it, it is temporarily closed. maintain a close relationship with Japan. If the Japanese want Britain to stand on Japan's side, they may have to use kidnapping.
"Let me talk about the current relationship between the British and the empire. Generally speaking, at the political level, the British still refuse to cooperate with us. However, in the field of economics and trade, the cooperation between the two sides has been smooth. We have easily acquired equipment including heavy artillery, A large amount of materials, including ammunition and various accessories, were originally left by the British in the Far East. The aero-engines secretly sent to us by the British government through neutral merchant ships have also arrived. Generally speaking, the British are still economically They are very dependent on us, after all, more than two years of war have exhausted the British, and the Germans have to be paid a lot of compensation." Kato Takaaki said.
