During the Edo period, Japan locked its country for two hundred years.》 During that period, only a few ports were opened to maintain contact and trade with the outside world, and tried to keep foreign interference forces out. Any ship that attempted to forcibly landed must be "repelled by artillery."

Until the US Navy Brigadier General Matthew Perry forced them to end the lockdown with his strong ships and sharp guns.

It can be said that Japan, which was locked up in the country, fell behind the development tide of countries around the world and was left behind. Similarly, it was forcibly broken by the great powers with brute force, and had to face too many enemies that were already too strong.

In the past half century, the Westernization Movement and Meiji Restoration broke out respectively. The result was that by 1894, it was impossible to tell the difference. However, the corrupt Qing court and the intriguing Han officials and ministers collectively dragged their backs, resulting in the Westernization Force headed by Li Hongzhang fighting alone to fight against Japan with one corner of its powers, and failure was inevitable.

In any case, the facts prove that the behavior of closing the country is stupid. As powerful as the Chinese Empire, it will still decline rapidly. Just Japan has tasted the sweetness of opening up the door and has stepped into the threshold of the Western world with one foot. It is so difficult to make them stop at this time!

Faced with the inquiry from the Japanese Emperor, everyone bowed their heads and said nothing.

Japanese people are best at this kind of "abdominal art" that can only be understood but never proclaimed. They are not willing to express their meaning in a clear, concise and logical way. When chatting with each other, they try their best to avoid positive and straightforward communication methods, and try to move back and detect the other party's possible reactions.

At present, major events related to the future of the country are even more politically involved. So the respected Emperor was allowed to sing a one-man show.

Muren sighed in disappointment. The depressed man in his heart was nothing more than talking about.

As the nominal spiritual leader of 50 million Japanese subjects, he must be the master of "little art". No government orders cannot be expressed in straightforward and shallow words. It is amazing enough to be able to say the word "lock the country". Because of this, a group of ministers dare not follow suit. It is really because of your Majesty that you said so straightforwardly, it is quite difficult for us to understand!

A very magical thinking logic. Japanese people hardly believe in the literal meaning. So the more you say, the more you write, the more you think about it. This is probably the later Japanese detective novels became popular and there were many amazing masterpieces, which was inseparable from their national character.

It is impossible to say it clearly, so I can only vaguely. I understand that all the ministers did not intend to bow their heads to the Chinese, so they simply gave up. Mu Ren thought, it seemed that the cost of doing this seemed to be even smaller!

After sinking for a long time, Muren said quietly: "I'll ask all the ministers to discuss with the ministers of all countries."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and said nothing.

Muro Somitsu, Okuma Shigeshino and his group exchanged glances, as if they all understood. So they bowed and bowed and said with the order.

After leaving the palace, Shigeon Okuma said solemnly: "If you try to obtain the support and understanding of the nations, you will be completely free from you. We must do our best to ensure that Your Majesty is not disturbed by the enemy."

Mu Ao Zongguang nodded vigorously: "Please rest assured, we will definitely bet on everything."

...Okay, it seems that this kind of word is the most commonly used among them. It always bets on everything, which is the usual style of Japanese people. It seems that when they are doing things, they can really stick to it without hesitation, so they gave the outside world a good image of "Japanese people are very dedicated", and derived allusions such as "wiping the table a hundred times" and "scooping up the water from the toilet and drinking it directly".

But the problem is, when you are trying hard to do it, you should first choose the right direction!

Japanese people are very good at doing a certain job to the extreme, but they only ignore that first you have to do the right thing! You always go on a wrong path and go all the way to the dark. Is this a quality worth boasting about?

Needless to say, everyone basically understands that from His Majesty the Emperor to the Cabinet ministers, they collectively refused to bow their heads to the Chinese to confess their guilt. Especially now, the Yang Hao group has not officially changed its national name. From a legal perspective, it is a group of rebel forces. How can the dignified Japanese Empire succumb to them!

Members of Okuma Shigeon's cabinet must organize forces to protect Tokyo when they go back. This time, Chinese naval ships must not be allowed to drive straight into Tokyo Bay. A firm defense line must be formed between Sagami Bay and Miura Peninsula.

There are three kilograms of nails in rotten ships. Japan is still a naval power. Even if there are no warships for the time being, there are various ammunition, drugs, and spare cannons. There are really no. Are there any naval warships from various countries here? Can you rent them temporarily?

If you want to attack Tokyo, the fastest way is to enter Tokyo Bay through the Uraga Waterway. As long as you block this narrow channel with a width of ten kilometers and block it with a turret on both sides, you don’t have to worry about the enemy warships driving over.

In addition, a large number of troops must be deployed along the coast of Sagami Bay to strictly guard against each other to prevent enemy landings. In this way, it can ensure that Tokyo will not have any problems in theory.

As for other places, I don’t care about that much for the time being.

Muro Otsumi and other negotiators immediately went to communicate with the great powers to explain the Japanese government's tough resistance in exchange for support and understanding from various countries---Look at our great Japanese Empire to fight against the tyrannical Yang armed forces and restrain the powerful enemies for you. Should countries be moved and spend tens of millions of small money to encourage them?

There is no doubt that representatives from various countries were extremely shocked by the decisions of the Japanese! They never expected that these little dwarfs would eventually adopt such an amazing confrontational strategy to face the extortion of the Chinese. It has to be said that this was simply a magical stroke, beyond everyone's expectations.

The effect is not ordinary!

The former US Secretary of State immediately applauded and cheered: "It is amazing that Japan can make such a wise decision! You will become a bridgehead and a new force for blocking the brutal and violent Chinese forces. The US government will definitely be optimistic about this. It may even provide a certain degree of support."

The United States has been planning for a long time. It is necessary to move from isolationism to expansion. The Hawaiian Islands are a ripe fruit that has been contained in their mouths. Using it as a springboard, it is imperative to advance towards East Asia.

It turns out that they just came to Japan as a trading partner and did not expect to get a large enough military base from here, but now they seem to have a great opportunity, so of course they cannot let it go! Even if they pay a little price, it is completely acceptable.

Mu Ao Zongguang couldn't hear the ambition of the Russians, but he didn't dare to agree. He knew that it was easy to ask for a god but it was difficult to send him. Once the Russians reached out, these greedy guys would inevitably have to be more aggressive. Maybe they would turn from a port to an island and a piece of land, and in the end the entire Japan would be assigned to him!

Under the gaze of a greedy green light, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tampered with his neck and refused politely: "Thank you for Russia's kindness, the Great Japanese Empire can open all ports to various countries and provide corresponding supplies and repairs. As for renting, it will not be considered for the time being. At the same time, we also hope to get support from various countries in industry and military equipment. After all, China's military power is too strong and cannot be confronted by our current level."

Sa Daoyi was really afraid that the Japanese would faint, so he agreed to the Russians' unreasonable request. In that case, the British checks and balances their abacus would be difficult to start. It seems pretty good now. So he immediately made a decision: "The British Empire will never be stingy with support for its allies. We can help Japan train its army and provide some weapons production equipment and materials."

When the Americans saw that everyone was discussing the benefits, they immediately followed up: "The industrial strength of America is the world's number one. We can provide a full set of industrial facilities and provide endless raw materials and technical support. Even if we start construction of warships immediately, it is completely fine."

This hole was a bit too big, which made the representatives of other countries frown. Nowadays, all countries are in the competition for shipbuilding, and all naval design and manufacturing forces must be invested in the construction of a huge number of new warships, and they cannot draw any extra strength to support other countries.

The Americans are different. Compared with their huge national strength, the navy is disproportionately weak. Even if it is now expanding, there is enough industrial power to provide takeaway.

Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious. Americans lag behind major powers in warship design, steel smelting or cannon manufacturing. The only one who has taken action now seems to be only eight-inch cannons. Build warships for Japan? You might as well take a break.

Mu Ao Zongguang never expected that he was just a desperate act, but he was forced to get such unexpected support from various countries. The benefits were really endless. He was so happy that he almost blossomed!

As long as we can withstand the harassment of the Chinese navy, even if the Japanese citizens cannot go out to sea for the time being to fish, even if domestic trade is temporarily controlled by foreigners, as long as we accumulate enough military strength, it will not be too late to turn back and take revenge!

Moreover, if countries are so active, if they can get along well with each other, they may not be able to easily receive large-scale industrial and military construction support without paying any price. The result is so beautiful that it is unimaginable!

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Muro Osun and a group of Japanese officials kept bowing to the foreign devils, saying "Thank you very much", "I am ashamed of you", "I am extremely grateful", etc. without any expenses, and they were planning how to plan a ten-year plan for the construction of Japanese industrial and military, and fooling a group of Western devils to invest money!

Without the third day after Yang Hao issued an ultimatum, Japan initially reached an agreement with various countries, firmly resisting the unreasonable threats of the Chinese, and providing various support to ensure that Japan will not be captured.

This news could not be concealed and soon spread to China. When Yang Hao saw the result, he did not come back to his senses for a while.

"Japanese, this is going crazy! How stubborn is it to come up with a thought, would you rather fight to the death than retreat?"

He was puzzled, but Yang Haixin said: "Did you forget that the Japanese are the kind of Japanese who can admit defeat but are absolutely unwilling to admit their mistakes?"

Yang Hao suddenly realized that it was really the case!

In the history of this world, Japan was defeated and became a lackey for the Americans. However, from its Japanese emperor to the soldiers below, few people seriously reflected on the war of aggression they launched. In later textbooks and national education, they gradually diluted the image of the invaders, and used words such as "enter" to blur their behavior.

Moreover, all the Japanese upper class are unwilling to apologize for their aggression and atrocities.---Note that the Japanese are best at playing tricks on word quizzing. They often say "induce trouble", "sorry", "trouble" and so on, which are all words used to cover up their mistakes. The only thing that the Japanese really feel guilty and sincerely apologize is "apologize".

However, in the seventy years after the war, no Japanese senior executive "avenges" to China and other countries, which shows that he did not really regret it. Because the Japanese believed from the bottom of their hearts that they had nothing to do with starting a war, but they just lost it, which was not a mistake. The numerous crimes committed in the war were inevitable processes and collateral losses, and they were still not a mistake.

They even felt that it was very aggrieved that the United States threw away the atomic bomb because of the war, and that it was arrested by countries around the world for defeat and demanded apology, and that it was not allowed to formally own an army.

After all, this nation is so chaotic and contradictory from culture to cognition.

After figuring out what was going on, Yang Hao was too lazy to talk too much about it, and it was even more impossible for them to help them explain to the people of the whole country, "The Japanese are the kind of virtue that they will never admit their mistakes." He just needs such a "hard bone" to help him integrate the chaotic public opinion in the country.

As soon as the radio newspaper announced the news, it immediately caused another public buzz!

Kind Chinese like to push themselves to others, and always feel that Japanese people should be reasonable, but reality is poured over by a basin of cold water, making countless people who were already having a trace of kindness! This time, the calls for punishment for Japan were boiling, but there were no more Virgins who called for "reasonable treatment" to come out to find abuse.

Yang Hao issued a naval mobilization order, immediately mobilizing all forces to launch the first wave of punitive attacks on Japan.

A few days later, led by two "Hebei-class" battleships, the "Tianjin" heavy cruisers were escorted, four newly launched "Dengzhou-class" destroyers were surrounded by, and more than a dozen "Weihai-class" frigates were soaking, and drove out of the East China Sea and rushed to the coast of Japan!

This fierce reaction did not exceed the expectations of the great powers. They made a call to try to stop them, but none of them really drove the warships over to block the guns for the Japanese.

So, almost all the test fleets slowly traveled back and forth in the East China Sea. When the Japanese were staring in a panic, they suddenly appeared on the sea on the west side of Kyushu Island. They used the giant cannon with a long range to bombard Nagasaki! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
