Obviously, the questions raised by Wang Geng on behalf of China were unexpected to the Allies and Japan, but it was reasonable. The calls for the Chinese government and the people to recover lost territories were not a day or two. The Japanese had really hard time on the South Manchuria Railway, Kanto, Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao.

If the Allies seek to influence the situation in Russia on the Eastern Front and then lead the German bull from the Western Front, it will be urgent and important for China and Japan to abandon past grudges.

The question is, is China ready? Is Japan ready? Is the world ready?

On April 26, 1918, the day after Germany suspended its spring offensive on the Western Front, the headlines of major news media in the world were not that the German army stopped the offensive or that the Allies defeated the German offensive again, but that China formally negotiated with the Japanese government, hoping that the two countries would negotiate on historical issues and resolve these issues in a package.

At the official residence of the Tokyo Prime Minister, the Prime Minister in the Temple was in a catastrophe. Army Minister Ken Oshima slapped the table and roared, threatening to mobilize 20 divisions to land in China and give the Chinese who did not know the sky and the earth to participate in the war and supervise the war.

Other cabinet members also pointed their finger at former Foreign Minister Ichiro Honno, who was absent from the emergency cabinet meeting. This guy had suffered from Spanish flu and was hospitalized for recuperation. He heard that China had raised territorial negotiations and submitted his resignation directly to the Prime Minister of the Temple in order to assume the responsibility of the Foreign Minister.

If it weren't for the shield of penicillin, in Wang Geng's previous life, Hirano Ichiro had died on the Spanish flu. Now, penicillin has saved countless lives, including the spokesperson for Chinese interests in the eyes of the Japanese cabinet.

"You guys! Hirano's contribution to the country is obvious to all. He fell into the hospital after overwork and overwork. I think it is meaningless to accuse the former Foreign Minister Hirano and the Minister to China Lin Quansuke. Without their mediation, the 1.6 million square kilometers in the eastern part of the Western Siberian Plain would not fall into the hands of Japan at all!" The speaker was Hirano Ichiro's successor, the new Foreign Minister Goto Shinhei.

Baron Goto Shinhei was originally the Minister of Internal Affairs in the Cabinet of the Templeunari Cabinet. He was born in 1857 and was born in the Kazumamura, Takurazawa County, and was a retainer of the Sendai Fen. Goto Konohara, a retainer of the family who was left behind in the Sendai Fen. He was the first president of the Manchu Iron and was a minister of communications and minister of the interior in many cabinets. At this time, he was transferred from the position of Minister of Internal Affairs to the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs by the Templeunari to put out the fire.

This guy's original position as Minister of Interior was given to the fifty-year-old Deputy Interior Minister Rentaro Mizuno.

"What else should I discuss? The whole country is mobilized, with the Imperial Army and Navy, Japan must not be blackmailed by that Chinese King Geng. At worst, it would be possible to fight the Japanese-China War like the Russo-Japanese War!" The Navy Minister Tomosaburo Kato was echoing the Minister of the Army at the top of his voice.

The Japanese Navy has obviously become an escort fleet recently, transporting food and military supplies from Japan to Vladivostok all day long to ensure the needs of the Western Siberian dispatched troops. The so-called heroes are useless, and the Chinese navy can basically be ignored after the Sino-Japanese War, so this guy is reluctant to let his navy reveal his means!

"The nationalist sentiment in China is high. If you rashly threaten with force, you are afraid that it will not end well. You guys still need to think twice before you act!" The person who spoke was the Minister of the Tibetan School, Master Zheng Tian, ​​who borrowed 400 million yen from this guy to Bank of China and Bank of Communications. This guy never wants to see the two sides fighting each other. How can this bad debt be settled at that time?

It is natural that everything is easy to say if you win. The question is, can you win? The Siberian dispatched troops have seen the power of the Chinese war army. In addition to the navy, Japan now has the advantage of the air force and the army are far from the rivals of the Chinese.

Kenichi Oshima is a boastful pig. Now the firepower of a division in the Japanese Army is less than half of that of a reorganized division in the Chinese warship. Twenty reorganized divisions are eyeing the north of the Yellow River. The Japanese standing division said there were 20, and there were only 15 or 16 full units. How to fight? I really need to mobilize the whole country to fight a full-scale war with China?

Can the Allies agree? Can the United States agree? Can the United Kingdom agree? Can you tell the high-profile without using your brain!

More than one person has the same thoughts and concerns as Minister Tao. In a trance, the Japanese army was completely behind the Chinese army participating in the war. Your navy is strong and people will not fight naval battles with you. They just use cannons to bomb and airplanes. Log in and log in. It would be fine if they don’t board, but they are afraid they won’t be able to withdraw when they board!

"Baga, Katsuda, you were knocked down by the Chinese sugar-coated shells like Hirano. You must have taken the Chinese kickbacks! Zhengjin Bank holds shares in several of Wang Geng's companies. You are investing in enemies. How can a guy like you be a Japanese!" The Army Minister widened his eyes and looked fierce!

"Oshima, stop at the right time! If you want to fight, how sure are you to win? Are the 20 standing divisions on hand enough now? How many more divisions need to be mobilized? Are weapons, equipment and arms enough? The goal and time setting of the war! The Army General Staff Headquarters has a plan! How long will the reserved food last? Where are the shells and bullets?" Prime Minister Masato Tanouchi questioned his Army Minister in a stack of voices!

"This happened suddenly, and the Army General Staff had not had time to discuss this issue, but the Imperial Army would never agree to accept the Chinese conditions. The South Manchurian Railway, Kanto Prefecture, Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao would never agree to give it up now! This is the territory obtained by the Emperor** people's bloody battle. How can I say that I will return it to the Chinese!"

The Army Minister was gasping, but sweat was seen on his forehead. Although Japan had been planning for so many years with China as an imaginary enemy, since China took advantage of the United States last year, the cabinet's foreign policy has begun to turn from suppression to winning over China. Japanese underwriters made a fortune on China's railways, highways and mining machinery procurement contracts, and Japanese banks also got a share of the big companies that Wang Geng has continuously established.

In a trance, the Japanese government and the opposition had reached an unstoppable level of dependence on China, and they even had to discuss things with the Americans. Sometimes they even asked the Chinese to help mediate. The construction of the Japanese Army this year was obviously far behind that of the Chinese Army. The Air Force? Japan had almost no air force, and the Chinese Army's air force had almost 500 aircraft. It is said that the Nanyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Factory had begun to test flights the FR-18 aircraft that the Chinese people copied and developed by themselves!

"Dashima, if China takes military measures to recover the South Manchuria Railway, Kanto Prefecture, Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao, can the Imperial Army defend these places?! You must give the cabinet a clear answer!" Masatoshi Tanuchi was also angry. Sooner or later, China and Japan would showdown for the above-mentioned places. He was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that Wang Geng was so inauthentic, saying that he would turn against him?

"If the Imperial Army and Navy can win a conflict, even if it is only partial, it can force the Chinese to sit down and negotiate, instead of being so aggressive and directly saying that they are planning to take back those places!" The Prime Minister of Templeu obviously never thought of fighting a full-scale war with China at this moment.

With the full support of the United States, the expansion of the Chinese military forces in the war is indescribable, and the entire steel and petrochemical military system has also taken shape. China does not develop a navy that is hard to work hard, so the demand for steel is not that great, and the construction of the Chinese military forces in the war is obviously ahead of Japan.

Unless the United States, Britain and France stand by, the Empire may be able to fight against China, but it is just a dream to conquer Manchuria and China. Damn, at most, the cabinet will resign. Whoever wants to fight will fight! Anyway, Masayoshi in my temple will never do such stupid things!

"That won't work. The Imperial Army must expand at least 20 divisions, otherwise it will definitely not work if it is a small number of people!" Army Minister Kenichi Oshima gasped and told the truth!

"The Imperial Navy can ensure that the landing operations can be completed in any part of the coast of China, but after getting ashore, it will have to rely on the struggle of its colleagues in the army." Navy Minister Tomosaburo Kato was very loud, but his confidence was too weak.

"What if the Sino-Japanese conflict arises, what should the West Siberian sending troops do? China will inevitably cut off the Siberian railway. The empire will not be able to supply the three divisions of Utsumiya Taro in Siberia. Will West Siberia fall? That is almost half of Japan's local territory!" Minister of Agriculture and Commerce said with a frown!

"This makes sense. Do we want to lose the 1.6 million square kilometers of Western Siberia territory that we have finally obtained for the South Manchuria Railway, Kanto Prefecture, Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao, which do not add up to 10,000 square kilometers of Chinese territory? "The person who spoke was the Minister of Communications Kenjiro!
Chapter completed!
