The Republic of China Cabinet in Beijing held an emergency meeting, and the Japanese government cabinet in Tokyo was also holding a meeting. The one who led the meeting was not the Prime Minister Shigeon Okuma who was about to step down, but the Minister of Land Oyama Iwa and Chief of Staff Uehara Yusaki. ([] )

The person who was speaking was Uehara Yuzu. He was talking about the Fengtian incident with a gaze. It can be seen that the Chief of Staff of the Army seemed to be in a good mood. There were constant words such as "time, god gift..." popping out of his mouth.

Prime Minister Shigeino Okuma, who had just left office, narrowed his eyes half-slept, and it was not until Uehara Yuki hit the conference table with a heavy punch to end his speech that he opened his eyes.

"Old Ishii, what are the reactions of the Allied countries to the Manchuria incident?" Okuma Shigenobu did not ask Uehara Yuki who had just finished his speech, but instead turned his attention to Foreign Minister Kikujiro Ishii.

"British and France expressed regret for the sudden Manchuria incident and suggested that the Great Japanese Empire and China should restrain themselves to avoid the intensification of the situation." Kikujiro Ishii stood up, bowed slightly to Okuma Shigetsu in the middle, and then said.

"Apart from these, are there any other substantial actions?" asked Shigetsu Okuma.

"Not yet!" Kikujiro Ishii immediately replied.

Nodded and signaled him to sit down. Okuma Shigenobu immediately turned his eyes to Lu Xiang Dashan Rock.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Oyama Iwai cleared his throat and stood up, saying, "Just, the Manchu incident is an opportunity. After China announced its participation in the European War, our great Japanese Empire fell into a passive situation on China's original attack plan. In order to consider the reactions of the Allies, the Army Department failed to achieve success after several modifications. At this time, the Manchu incident occurred just now. As Uehara Jun said, our great Japanese Empire can launch an attack on China on the grounds of the Manchu incident to achieve the goal of controlling Manchu..."

"May I ask, is the plan of the Army Department aiming to occupy the entire Manchuria or to only Nanman? Are there any other follow-up plans?"

Cabinet Secretary Chang Jiang Muyi asked, with a hint of solemnity in his expression.

"The early plan is Nanman and Jiaozhou. If the plan is smooth and then marches into the entire Manchu, the subsequent plan is of course to conquer the entire Chinana!" Uehara Yuzuki said before Oyama Isan answering.

"I object!" Jiang Muyi shook his head and said, "If this happens, the possibility of implementation is too small. With the military strength of our Great Japanese Empire, we cannot achieve such a goal at all. Moreover, China has joined the Allied Power and is now an ally with our Great Japanese Empire. Once our Great Japanese Empire starts a full-scale war with China, it will inevitably cause strong reactions from the countries of the Allied Powers."

"Your Excellency Jiang Mu's words are too alarmist." Uehara Yuzusa smiled disapprovingly: "The Allies? The ghosts and animals in the European war are too late to protect themselves. How can we have the ability to restrict the actions of our Great Japanese Empire in the Far East? So what about the allies? Don't forget that the Manchuria incident was unilaterally provoked by China. They must accept punishment and the anger of our Great Japanese Empire. Such reasons are limited even if Britain and France protest against our Great Japanese Empire. Besides, isn't the agreement used to tear it down from the signing? A few years have passed since the war, and we have almost nothing. In this case, if Britain and France use this as an excuse to block the military operations of our Great Japanese Empire, we can even propose to break away from the agreement and join the Allies. I think with the military strength of our Great Japanese Empire, such a threat will definitely make Britain, France and other countries surrender."

"Child!" Jiang Muyi snorted coldly. His eyes revealed disdain. He looked down on Uehara Yoshita, whose mind was full of muscles. How could this kind of warrior who only knew how to solve problems with force understand the mystery of international political balance? Joining the Allied Powers was unanimously approved by the cabinet. According to various analysis, the possibility of winning the European war of the Allied Powers is extremely high. Although Japan is called a great power in Asia, it is actually just a second-rate country in the world. Only by taking advantage of the ride-hailing of old powers like Britain and France can we gain more benefits in the war and become a real power.

As for what Uehara Yuki said about the "Manzhou Incident". People who were sitting there actually knew in their hearts that as a senior official in the cabinet, Jiang Muyi knew better about the dirty means of the Black Dragon Society. This was completely directed by the Black Dragon Society and the Army. Such an incident was nothing more than a joke if it was used as a reason for a full-scale war. The politics between countries was not as simple as these warriors imagined. Moreover, it was impossible for Japan, a small country like Japan to swallow up a huge China in one bite. In what Jiang Muyi thought, Japan's current national strength could only fight a local war, and using the Manchu incident as a reason to gain some benefits from China, at most it was limited to eroding South Manchuria. As for taking down the entire Manchuria and even the entire China, this would inevitably bring disaster to Japan, because Japan now does not have the ability.

Of course, Jiang Muyi is not a "pacifist". He just feels that the time is not right now, and starting a war with China is in favor of Jiang Muyi. His differences with Uehara Yongzuo and others are that he only agrees with gradual plans and limited wars, but opposes full-scale war and is enthusiastic about it.

"Baga!" Feeling the contempt in Emuyi's eyes, Uehara Yuki jumped up in anger: "You coward, you are not worthy of sitting here, let alone becoming the emperor's people..."

"Idiot..." Jiang Muyi still looked at him with a sneer, as if he was looking at a jumping clown.

"Baga! I want to duel with you!" Uehara Yuzusa, who was furious, reached out and copied back but couldn't copy anything. Then he realized that the samurai sword he was carrying had been placed outside before the meeting.

"Enough!" Dashanyan shouted lightly. Although the voice was not loud, it was extremely majestic. Uehara Yuzusa glared at Jiang Muyi for a long time before he sat back.

"Today is a cabinet meeting. Please speak freely and don't worry about it." Oyama Iwa's position is only the prime minister, but his title and prestige are far higher than that of everyone present, and even Prime Minister Shige Nobuo Okuma is not as good as Prime Minister Shige Nobuo. Moreover, Okuma's term of office is about to arrive. This cabinet meeting is almost his last time for Okuma Shige Nobuo Okuma. Moreover, due to economic problems and his reputation has been greatly damaged, Okuma Shige Nobuo simply handed over the right to preside over Oyama Iwa. As the prime minister, it is only to maintain order at most.

Okuma Shigeshino agreed just right, nodded to Oyama Iwai, and continued to squint his eyes and wandered out of the sky.

With Eki Yi's opening, the cabinet's Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Hiroaka Kono, Minister of Culture and Commerce, Hayao Takada, Minister of Culture and Commerce, and Kitoro Ichiki, Minister of Internal Affairs, also put forward the same view, thinking that the risk of going to war with China in full is too high, and it is recommended that the army only aim to launch local wars with Nanman as its goal.

Listening to everyone's speech, the calm expression of Oyama Yasuo seemed to have no reaction, but if you observe carefully, his eyes were filled with disappointment. As for Uehara Yutao, the more he listened, the more angry he became. He wanted to stand up and refute several times and stopped him. He was so angry that he pinched his fists and clattered, and cursed the group of red deer Baga in his heart.

What made Uehara Yuzusaki even more angry was that Navy Minister Tomosaburo Kato also stood there. However, unlike others, Tomosaburo Kato proposed to use Qingshima Island - Jiaozhou Bay as the main goal, so that the army can change its original plan, and the navy will lead the goal from Nanman to Qingshima.

At this moment, Uehara Yusaki could no longer sit still, so he immediately jumped up and quarreled with Tomosaburo Kato. The two of them had a red face and almost fought in public at the cabinet meeting. It was not until Oyama Iwa came forward that they separated the two sides.

The meeting started from morning to evening, and the Army did not make any substantial progress at all. Finally, the disappointed Oyama Ishi signaled Okuma Shigeno to end the meeting.

"Okayama, from my personal perspective, I agree with the Army plan, but as the Prime Minister of a country, please understand more." After the meeting, Shigeshinobu Okuma specially fell behind and whispered a few words with Okayama Iwa. Before leaving, he left this sentence lightly, with some sincerity and apologies in his expression.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Oyama Iwa expresses his gratitude with a smile on his face. When Okuma Shigetsu turned around and left, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

"It's all a group of rice insects!" When everyone left, Uehara Yuzusa could no longer bear it and slapped the table and cursed.

"The short-sighted guys..." Oyama Iwai said with a sneer, looking down on Okuma Shigetsuno. This old fox clearly wanted their army to stand up. The one who instigated their army was Okuma Shigetsuno. In order to divert the bad situation in the country, he secretly planned a plan to go to war with China, but now it has become a turtle, fearing that the war will lose control and leave a stigma on himself and then practice Tai Chi. Having such an incompetent prime minister in the country is simply a shame for the Japanese Empire. If Oyama Iwai was not very cunning, he would have wanted to give him a knife.

"Your Excellency, what should I do now?" Without the support of the cabinet, Uehara Yusaki turned to Oyama Iwadao for help.

"Without them, our army can launch it alone." Dashanshi thought for a while, and suddenly said with a smile. At this time, he suddenly thought of the Russo-Japanese War that, as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army at that time, he defeated the powerful Tsarist Russian army in Manzhou and won the final victory. It was only a few decades that Dashanshi could still achieve the glory of the past on the same land. He definitely had this confidence and confidence.

"When will the exercise start?" Dashanyan asked suddenly.

"You mean..." Uehara Yusaki was slightly stunned and understood immediately, looking at Dashanyan tentatively.

When Oyama Isai nodded slowly, Uehara Yusaki immediately became excited: "Report to you, you can start anytime!"

"Then let's make arrangements as soon as possible. I'll go to the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor now." Oyama Iwak patted Uehara Yuzusa's shoulder and turned around and left quickly. (To be continued...)
