"After the Japanese-Russian Naval Battle, our situation did not improve, but became worse. Especially in recent years, the Americans have expanded too quickly in the Western Pacific region. They have already obtained Saipan from the Germans. The next step may be the Truko Atoll, which is almost the most suitable atoll for the entire Western Pacific to berth. After construction, a fleet that can be stationed enough to destroy the empire!"

"What's even more terrifying is that the Germans have reached a tacit understanding with the Americans. They have begun to withdraw their strength from the Far East and handed it over to the Americans step by step. Maybe three years later, maybe five years later, but it will definitely not be long. The Americans will take over all areas of Germany in the Western Pacific, even the Bismarck Islands and Emperor William. The Americans can completely establish a complete naval system at one time. At that time, the Americans' cannons will be pressed against our foreheads, but we have no choice!" After only 5 minutes of thinking, Hikaru Uemura walked forward and said to Koowang Nishimotoji.

"So your navy is ready to decide to continue to strengthen the naval force at all costs?" This result did not exceed Nishizoji Gongwang's expectations. He had received similar answers from more than one senior naval officer. "Have you ever thought of using other ways to solve this problem besides building warships? Of course, I must admit that the construction of the navy is necessary."

"We will take these colonies from them before the Germans and Americans complete the transaction! As long as the empire's territory expands southeastward, the Americans will no longer be able to enter the Far East." Hikaru Komura Hikaru replied immediately.

"At this time, let the empire fight with Germany and the United States at the same time? Where do you get the confidence? If you win the Russians, you think you are invincible in the world?" said Mr. Nishiyuanji.

"This, I just think this area should belong to the empire..." Hiroko Komura said with some embarrassment. "Of course, we can wait, after the war in England and Germany began in Europe, we will take the opportunity to seize the German colonies. In this case, it will be legitimate. After all, we are allies of the British."

"Well, a good idea, but have you ever thought about how we face the anger and revenge of the Germans if the European war is a draw or the French lose?" asked Nishiyuanji Gongwang. "Do you expect to fight another Battle of Cam Ranh Bay? Believe me, this time, the US and German fleet will come from the direction of Hawaii. We have no chance of winning!"

"Okay, this matter is quite far away. Let's take a look at this warship first." Nishiyuanji Gongwang had already got the answer and was unwilling to let this somewhat embarrassed topic continue, so he decided to change the topic.

What Ruprecht did not expect was that his use of German colonies in the Far East for US financial aid and the act of widening the distance between the United States and the Allies had another consequence, that was, it greatly stimulated the nerve-sensitive Japanese.

In the eyes of the Japanese, the fundamental reason why there is no war between the United States and Japan now is that the United States has no foothold in the Western Pacific. If the United States acquires the German Pacific colony, the situation will be different. If the springboard problem is solved, the Americans will sooner or later fight against the Japanese. This is not simply a matter of avenging a single revenge, but involves the fundamental interests between the two countries.

As an imperialist, the United States naturally wants to gain benefits in the Far East, and the Japanese's exclusive behavior made the Americans very annoyed. Americans need the market and the raw materials are produced, and these need to be snatched from the Japanese. In this era, artillery is always better than mouth cannons, so on the issue of Far East hegemony, both sides are likely to eventually choose to resort to force.

But in this era, the top Japanese government officials who are still smart are obviously not stupid enough to think that Japan can play with the American steel pk by relying on the so-called Yamato Soul. Japanese people who are a little silly will naturally find a way to solve this problem.

If you can't solve the problem you can't solve, then ask friends to help you solve it. In fact, without the support of the British, the Japanese would have been rubbed on the floor by the Russians. It was not that the army could not defeat it, but that there was no money to fight! This time, facing the Americans, the top Japanese government officials were also considering the idea of ​​further strengthening the British-Japanese alliance.

The Japanese were very self-aware. At least Nishinoji Gongwang had never thought of letting Britain and Japan fight with the Americans once. However, after the war broke out, it was still possible to seize Germany's islands in the Western Pacific with lightning speed. Of course, the premise was that the Germans did not hand over all these islands to the Americans before the war.

As for this issue, the cunning Hirobuki Ito believes that there is no need to worry at all. In his opinion, if the Germans want to gain the support of the Americans, they will not be able to dig all the chips in their hands so quickly. Japan only needs to ensure that they can seize these islands immediately during wartime and ensure that the Allies can win. And the United States, which has lost its base of advance, will not have such a great threat to Japan.

In addition to military and security considerations, Japan has a more economic motivation to be closer to Britain and France. The Japanese treasury that had just fought the Russo-Japanese War was empty, and the various debts that were about to expire made the finance worse. In this case, the simplest and most effective way for the Japanese to get more loans and help Japan survive this most difficult time. Once a war breaks out in Europe, everything will be different. Because Britain, France, Germany and other countries are busy with war, their control over the Far East market will drop significantly, and Japan can seize the Far East market to develop itself.

Japan can export various materials to the Allies, organize a huge fleet to transport these materials, and even provide some special products, such as manpower and soldiers! For Hiromoto Ito and others, "selling a large number of idle retired Japanese soldiers at a good price" is a very good choice. After solving the government's finances, the officials' wallets have become bulging. And it can also attract powerful countries like Britain and France as allies. Why not do this? Ito Hiromoto said explicitly that when the European war broke out, the day when the empire rose!

However, as the Japanese think, Britain and France also have places to seek Japan. They think their advantages are not big enough and they need to bring Japan as a young man to expand their advantages as much as possible. At the same time, Britain and France are also very afraid of the United States, and they are also dissatisfied with the United States' expansion in the Pacific region. Since this is the case, everyone has common interests, so it is inevitable to get close.
