The Rise of the Empire

"What do you want to do? Don't you think that what you have gotten now is not enough?! Do you want the entire empire to revolve around your saber? Don't you understand the saying that soldiers are dangerous and dangerous?" Xi The voice of Yuanji's public looks abruptly in the venue, like a wounded beast.

"Your Excellency Xiyuanji, we don’t want to argue with your Excellency about domestic issues today. We only talk about the international situation. Yes, we really don’t know how to end the war, but we know three things. If the Germans are not satisfied with the result, then This war will not end. The Americans are our enemy. If there is a chance to save us from disaster, they will certainly do so. Russia is also our enemy, and they are the natural ally of the Americans. We compromise with the United States. The result is that the two powers squeeze from North Asia and Southeast Asia at the same time." Yamamoto Quanhei said.

Although his overall view is not particularly outstanding, with the help of many staff members, he can still come up with an idea. The defeat of Xiyuanji Gongwang today is not only the result of the combination of the navy and the army, with mental arithmetic and unintentional, but also the fact that there are irreparable loopholes in its own strategy. The historical hatred and geographical relationship between the United States and Japan determine the hostility between the two sides. The conflict between Russia and Japan is also irreconcilable. The Russians worked so hard to build railways in the Far East and get access to the sea. The Japanese took over. , Can the Russians stop?

So now that the war has come, Japan’s relations with the United States and Russia can only be hostile. Even if it eases, it will only buy time for the next war. This is true from the external situation, and from the internal situation, Japan's domestic nationalism has always advocated expansion.

From the first Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War to the Philippines War between the United States and Japan, to the Russo-Japanese War and Japan’s invasion of the Dutch East Indies, the Japanese launched five wars in just over 20 years. 6 wars! And what is even more surprising is that Japan has made money so far... An atmosphere of arrogance and madness permeated the country, and the tactical victory fueled the flames. The result of this is that the government is very likely to be kidnapped by public opinion. Even if the top leaders see the crisis of war, they are in the army. Under the pressure of Fang and nationalism, they are still helpless!

"It is impossible for the Germans to form an alliance with us. From their point of view, we are too far away from Europe to form a joint force, and our respective interests are different, and there is no basis for cooperation. In the future, the world's most intense The contradiction is the contradiction between the United States and Germany, this is the competition for world hegemony! All other contradictions are not important in the face of this contradiction. If the Americans are smart enough, then they should be before the future enemy Germany and us. You can make the right choice." Saiyuanji Gongwang tried to make the last effort, although he did not believe in some words, if Germany were gone, would the Americans let Japan go? Naturally not! Not only the United States, but even potential US allies such as Britain and Russia will not let Japan go! Unless Japan is willing to return to its small island!

"There are too many subjective assumptions and uncertainties. As the sword and shield of the empire, the navy and army must prepare for the worst. We support the compromise with Germany, but we must always be vigilant with the United States. And hostile. Even if we finally withdrew to Sulawesi, we will inevitably maintain and strengthen our military presence on Sulawesi in the postwar years." Said Masaichi Temple.

"What then? Your goal is not just to deny a plan to compromise with the United States, right? Tell it all. There is nothing to hide in front of me." Saiyuanji Gongwang's words were full of anger.

"Naturally, the navy wants to ensure the construction and replacement of the fleet, and the size of the troops in peacetime. The request of the army is to hope that the imperial government will keep our victory in the Russian Far East." Yamamoto Kenbei said.

"Keep the fruits of victory in Siberia? What do you call the fruits of victory cover those regions? Does it include only Frasvostok or further afield? You have considered the price the empire has to pay in order to preserve this barren land. Is it?" Xiyuan Temple gongwang roared.

"Our goal is the area east of Chita, along the Siberian Railway. We must cut off Russia's access to the Far East. Only in this way can we ensure that the empire will not suffer from enemies! Of course, we know how expensive this plan is, so we adopt In this way, we can obtain what we need. If there is any offense, then please forgive me." Temple Masaichi said calmly.

"What about the imperial economy? One of our largest oilfields and refining bases has just been hit hard, and we have to pay expensive warfare to stop the Americans! And after fighting the Americans, you have to fight the Russians in Siberia! You have to control it! Nearly half of the Siberian Railway! This is unbelievable. It's crazy!" Saiyuan Temple Gongwang objected.

"How can you know if you don't try? There has been political turmoil in Germany recently. In terms of diplomacy and internal affairs, many powers have challenged the imperial diplomacy controlled by Bavaria. If Bavaria loses in this round of political games, Then Germany’s attitude towards the Pacific War will change. On the issue of Russia, Germany has become tougher. They supported the White Army and prevented the Bolsheviks from entering the Far East. We only use it now. Against one country, that is the United States."

"Of course, this issue may still be far away. The most realistic issue for us is the choice of the next prime minister and the funding for the war. I hope your Excellency Xiyuanji can reach an agreement with us. We don’t want to make things out of control. I don't want to abolish the authority of the veteran group with you at the core. What we do is for the empire, but the way of thinking is different." Temple Masaichi said.

"Well, let's compromise, but this compromise is only six months away. I can cooperate with you to do some things, including diplomacy, military and economics. But if six months later, the situation of the war and our foreign relations are still not there. If we improve, then the tacit understanding between us will be wiped out!" Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

"I think this method is feasible." Yamamoto Gonhei first agreed. And then Masaichi Temple also nodded. As a result, the force of the navy and army jointly launched the palace is temporarily over. And at this time, in distant Europe, Germany, what is this newly emerging world hegemon doing?
