Beiyang 1917

"China and Japan join hands?! Can you believe this?! Hirano, are you being bribed by the Chinese?!" Oshima jumped up, obviously this idea is against the long-term view of China as the target of division and aggression For Japan, it's a bit earth-shattering!

"What's wrong with this? Don't you think Japan alone can deal with polar bears!?" Moto countered not to be outdone.

"Compared to polar bears, I think the weak China is easier to deal with!" The Secretary of War pouted.

"If the Minister of the Army thinks that the Japanese Army can now challenge the Chinese army, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and I have no objections. I will wait and see! If you lose, stop crying and ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to clean up the mess for you!" Beno sneered.

"You! I want to duel with you! You Japanese scum, I think you and Lin Quanzhu both took the kickback from Wang Geng?!" The Minister of Army was furious!

"Okay! Oshima! How decent! Are you still cabinet ministers? Worse than street vendors!" Prime Minister Terauchi Masaki slapped the table and shouted!

Oshima turned his head and sat down, his face was flushed red, and the suffocation in his chest was extremely aggrieved. Now that he knows that China and Japan can't ignore the European war and the situation in Russia, he throws his arms and fights. Hirano will take this Come to run on yourself, which is tolerable or unbearable!

"Mr. Hirano, what Lin Quanzhu said is true? That war supervisor Wang Gengzhen said that China and Japan should join hands and go all the way to the Ural Mountains?" Temple turned to ask his foreign minister.

"It is true that when the two of them communicated in private, Wang Geng said that if Japan always regards China as an opponent, it will find that it is tied up and has no room for strategic development. Only by changing its way of thinking will it have a future. China and Japan have been friendly for thousands of years in history, and they cannot be hostile to each other forever because of the discord for decades!" Hirano narrowed his eyes and recalled.

"It's not unreasonable to say that. This Wang Geng is not simple. However, just because of his words, he wants to drive Japan to extract chestnuts from the fire for China? The idea is too simple!" Si Nei Zhengyi is obviously also very entangled deep in his heart , China's growth and rise will happen sooner or later. Is it necessary to change the concept of China as the biggest potential opponent?

"Prime Minister, are you also confused! When can the empire's mainland policy be influenced by others at will! Manchuria is our first choice target! The Far East is our first choice target!" Kenichi Oshima yelled dissatisfied.

"Some people just don't want to face the reality. If the UK blindly fights against France, how can it develop into an empire that never falls. On the other hand, if there is no concerted efforts of Britain and France, Europe would have been conquered by Germany and Austria by now!" Minister of Foreign Affairs Obviously the example of the United Kingdom was cited.

In fact, Japan's growth and development in the past 20 years, and its ability to win the two battles of Sino-Japanese War and Japan-Russia, are behind the huge benefits and confidence brought by the Japan-British Alliance. It is also an island country, and Great Britain can be said to be the world's leader in the past 20 years. The idol of the world, but also the idol of Japan!

"Nonsense! Have you forgotten about the Hundred Years' War between England and France? Have you forgotten Napoleon's Battle of Waterloo? If you don't subdue China, how can the empire spare no effort to expand its navy and dominate the world!" Sour, compared to the navy, the Japanese army only wants to raise children from its stepmother, and its military budget is less than half of that of the navy!

"Oshima, Hirano, pay attention to your image!" The temple convened a small-scale meeting today, and only called the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of War, and the navy. At this moment, the Japanese navy is really useless as a hero in Asia, and it has been reduced to an escort. Lord of the fleet.

"Prime Minister, the Ural region of Russia is rich in oil. The entire West Siberia Plain has countless minerals and arable land. In addition, there is the most scarce oil in the empire. If the Ural region can be taken! Japan is really no longer an island country. I am wronged!" Minister of Foreign Affairs Hirano directly began to confuse his own Prime Minister.

"Hirano, do you think the United States, Britain, and France can agree to give us the Urals to Japan?" The temple asked with a straight face. Obviously, everyone knows that the Urals are a treasure of geomantic omen, but let's just sit back and watch Japan occupy Russia's Urals. Let's not talk about Japan's instinct It can't be done, but it is barely done while taking advantage of the civil strife in Russia. Can the Allied Powers agree?Can the United States agree?

"Your Majesty, don't be fooled by Hirano, an ignorant guy. How can Japan hold the Urals? The Russians can mobilize 500 million people at every turn. Now they are in civil strife, waiting for the country to settle down Come down, what will Japan use to defend the Urals?"

The Minister of War is obviously not an idiot. The Russian army is considered second-rate equipment and third-rate logistics in Europe, but it can often achieve first-rate results. The most chilling thing is that the population of this country has never seemed to be a problem. There are millions of people at every turn. Millions of people were killed in battle, and millions of people went to prisoner-of-war camps, but Russia can mobilize millions more to go to the battlefield.

As for Japan, Japan sent 1905 troops in the Japan-Russia War in 40 (that is, the Japan-Russia War, Japan called Russia "Lu", which means to please a flattery, if Japan goes out to the east, Dew will perish) with 180 troops, reserve The military mobilized 50 million people, but the old Maozi just casually transferred troops from Siberia and the Far East, and assembled 300 troops to Manchuria. The reserve service directly mobilized [-] million. Japan was lucky enough to annoy the Tsar in the end Everyone cease fighting.

If it really goes down, it will have to be used as pants to ensure the military supplies for the front line! If Japan occupies the Urals, can it stop Russia's counterattack first?With a distance of thousands of kilometers from the mainland, how can logistics be guaranteed?

Can China really stand on the side of Japan and work together?He couldn't believe it even if Kenichi Oshima was killed. Japan still occupies the South Manchuria Railway, Kantung Prefecture, Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao in China at this moment. These problems have not been resolved, and China and Japan can join hands to deal with Russia. ?

"Who is ignorant?! The dignity of the Japanese army has been lost by the minister of the army. Seeing the Russians scared is like seeing a mouse and a cat. Russia is now the weakest moment, and the huge empire is at any time All may fall apart, Germany has already occupied the Baltic Sea, and Romania and the Caucasus are also in chaos!"

The Minister of Foreign Affairs swallowed, and snapped his fingers to settle accounts with his Prime Minister.

"Finland, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Transcaucasus, Georgia, Ukraine, and Belarus may declare independence at any time. The polar bears of Tsarist Russia in the past may be divided up by the whole world. We are still sticking to our differences with China If you want me to say, join hands with China to snatch all the land, population and resources east of the Ural Mountains, this is the biggest opportunity for Japan in this century!"

The Minister of Foreign Affairs obviously went all out and expressed his opinion. Oshima blushed and wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason for a while.

The Prime Minister of the temple here was also moved when he heard the words, and after pondering for a long time, the servant couldn't help saying,

"Mr. Hirano, Lin Quanzhu, Minister to China, is an old friend of yours. Do you think Wang Geng, the supervisor of China's participation in the war, can be brought over to become a good friend of the empire?" Qirui and Xu Shuzheng are a bit outdated. At this moment, in China, this young war supervisor is the guy who has the most say!

"Prime Minister! Why do you believe the nonsense of Lin Quanzhu and Pingye? The two of them must have taken kickbacks from the Chinese. They agreed to such a brainless agreement to march into Siberia together. Now they are fooling us into turning our attention to The Urals thousands of kilometers away!"

Oshima Kenichi yelled anxiously, in his eyes, the guy in the temple was obviously a little tempted by Hirano's rhetoric, damn, the army is going to fight the battle, and the thought of going to the Ural Mountains thousands of kilometers away Facing the Red Army of millions of old men, the Minister of War's heart tightened for no reason!

"Oshima-kun! Be safe and don't be impatient! Listen to Hirano-kun!" Terauchi gave Oshima a hard look, thinking that the Japanese army was being thrown farther and farther away by the navy, and this Oshima Kenichi would be successful without fail A guy with a lot of work, why did I choose him as the Minister of War!

"Prime Minister, this Wang Geng is not so easy to deal with. According to the judgment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he is a very realistic guy and a good negotiator. In fact, we negotiated with him to maintain the South Manchuria Railway, Kanto Prefecture, Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao. His status will remain unchanged until the end of the European War, which will put him under enormous pressure in China!"

Hirano Ichiro obviously loves and hates Wang Geng, the supervisor of China's participation in the war. Although Japan seems to be at a disadvantage when negotiating and demarcating the operation areas of the two ** teams in Siberia and the outer Xing'an Mountains, the reward is to keep the South China Sea. Places crucial to the empire, such as the Manchurian Railway, Guandong Prefecture, Jiaozhou Bay, and Qingdao, remained unchanged.
