The mystery of the letter is that it writes about the relationship between the Japanese Navy and Siemens, but this is not the most shocking thing. The most shocking thing is some reminders about some suggestive words from former Siemens employee Carl Richter.

By using the source of the secret police, Yamamoto soon knew the source of the anonymous letter - the Chinese Embassy in Japan. The other party did not seem to intend to conceal it, but instead directly proposed to send representatives to discuss the "Siemens" incident, making the matter "clearer!"

What is clearer in the so-called meaning? Yamamoto and Saito Mi are clear about it, that is, to expose the main figures of the Navy faction to accept bribes from Siemens during the construction of the ship to reach cooperation. China's special representatives spoke vividly and vividly, and even the parties involved had forgotten many details.

"Mr. Prime Minister, it is not complicated to talk about how to deal with and make decisions about this matter. If you are not interested in our conditions, there is naturally nothing to say between us, but this does not mean that there is nothing to say between us and the rest of your country's politicians. As long as I throw out this material and reveal it in the media, I guarantee that someone will soon express enough interest and believe that I will also give me a reasonable price. In your country, there are not too few such people but too many! Second, if you can accept our conditions and decently terminate the current war between China and Japan, we can not only hand over the relevant fact files to you, but even

You can also hand over the "deep friendship" information about the main army figures and Krupp. I believe you will be interested in this. In addition, the destiny of the Kanou Division is currently in a confidential state. Once we announce it, it will immediately cause a magnificent feat in the foreign exchange market. Japan's losses are at least about 3,000 - this can provide Japan with at least 8 Kanou Division equipment. Of course, don't worry, those Japanese bigwigs who have deep friendship with you will not suffer losses. At most, the Japanese banking system will bear the big head..."

Yamamoto was sweating coldly. What does it mean to be a pin and needle feel? It is the best footnote at the moment. It is not uncommon to accept bribes, especially using public power to seek benefits for individuals. Almost every politician has these unclean things under his butt, but the difference lies in when and who! The navy sent a cabinet to face many enemies in Japanese politics, especially under the current situation of lack of ability to deal with China and losing troops, the rebound in all aspects will be greater. Throwing the bomb Siemens will probably achieve the greatest explosion effect. At least, Yamamoto's cabinet must immediately collapse, which is a disadvantage of timing.

In addition, in terms of the target of the scandal, it is Germany, which is currently in a state of hostility with Japan, especially the Qingdao guided by Yamamoto's cabinet. Ordinary people do not care whether this is the Prime Minister's own wishes. They only regard all the government's responsibilities as the Prime Minister's incompetence. Otherwise, why call it the Prime Minister? In such an atmosphere, the opposition can easily shift the responsibility to Yamamoto and others. It is precisely because a group of corrupt elements, led by the Prime Minister, accepted bribes from Germany, which caused the low level of the equipment level of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Army, and thus caused the current adverse situation. As for whether there is any collusion with the enemy to report information, it is within the speculation range. Although the German bomb is small, it is enough to blow the cabinet to pieces.

Thinking of the consequences of the fall of the cabinet, Yamamoto was naturally unwilling to accept it. On the one hand, this would cause him and Saito to fall down, and even withdraw from politics from now on; on the other hand, this might mean the re-rise of the army, and the navy would be ridiculed and suppressed by the army, which would make itself ashamed in the factional system. Finally, and the most dangerous point is that Japan's extremely fragile fiscal balance. Once the yen exchange rate plummets, it would be serious consequences for the major currencies of Western countries to depreciate. That would mean the Russo-Japanese War

The principal and interest of the war loans that Japan has paid since the beginning of the year have been lost, which means that Japan's fiscal surplus has been wasted in 10 years. It will cause a total collapse of the domestic economy. This is a blow that is 1,000 times worse than the collapse of the Kamio Division. There is another reason Yamamoto was not embarrassed to analyze it for himself, that is, China's national defense power is no longer the same as before. It is not so easy for Japan to win the war. The setbacks of the fleet and the annihilation of the Kamio Division have verified this fact. Do you still need to pay tuition to understand this truth?

Yamamoto himself and Saito Mi will not doubt the authenticity of the Siemens incident. This is the fact. As for how China understands it so clearly, it is no longer the key to the problem. Besides, in the current atmosphere of intrigue in the political world, the forces of all parties are in a delicate balance. Even if this is a lie, other forces will regard it as "real"...

Of course, Yamamoto didn't want to dig the bottom of the matter, but the empire was very familiar with it. Thanks to the huge double-imperial bonds, China obtained a large amount of loans and carried out considerable infrastructure construction, which was indispensable for large German companies, including Krupp and Siemens. Almost all well-known German companies, including Krupp and Siemens, participated. China has had a tradition of plucking hairs and plucking them from time to time. Of course, the emperor did not dare to neglect them. He had ordered the Ministry of Interior to keep a close eye on them and see who dared to act arbitrarily.

As a result, thanks to Zhao Bingjun's solid work, not only did he catch a few rats, but he also involved German figures who "go to the countryside and follow the customs". Considering that diplomacy is so important, Zhao Bingjun could only ask for the sages. As a result, the emperor remembered the famous "Siemens" incident and interrogated it carefully. After some investigation, the Chinese side exchanged for the secret details about Siemens' "work to Japan" at the cost of no longer pursuing related behaviors. Zhao Bingjun was like a treasure, and threw it out as a trump card at a critical moment, and he did get miraculous results.

During the several round-trip negotiations and repetitions, Yamamoto's attitude gradually emerged: First, the cabinet itself expressed regret for the Sino-Japanese conflict, which was not the result they were willing to see - this is nonsense, of course you don't want to see the fleet being severely damaged and the Kamio Division was annihilated; Second, the army advocated the expansion of the war, and the navy continued to conflict. The navy did not have enough ability to suppress the continued deterioration of the situation - this is a word of truth and falsehood. Although the navy did not advocate expanding the conflict, the navy agreed after all when the army was about to expand. How could it be said that it was not enough now? Third, it was willing to maintain friendly relations with China and end the war decently under conditions that were rational and acceptable to both sides - this is the truth and the most critical word - Japan no longer wants to fight, but it cannot afford to face. We must give the Japanese people an explanation, right?

So that's the case. It's simple and things are much easier to do!

As a "sincerity", Yamamoto stopped the second division's move to Shandong. In return, China promised not to disclose the matter for the time being, and also sought contact and consultation in the diplomatic field - whether to fight or not to pursue it, it is important to sit down and talk. Of course, Yamamoto's response to the army cannot be expressed by "sincerity", it can only be shot in the foot. The reason for the navy's high-sounding army is that it is not conducive to going deep into the army alone.

Faced with a battle situation that was not sure, the army could only bite its teeth when it was at the mercy of the navy!

Although the demise of the Kamikaze Division is still kept secret from the media, this news is not a secret between the upper class members of major countries such as China, Japan, Britain and other major countries. It is just surprising that the journalists who have always had great power have not been able to find sufficient and powerful news from some "well-informed people".

The news released by the National Defense Forces is partial. After careful processing, the news cannot be simpler. It is nothing more than the Japanese army invading our territorial sovereignty. Our army resisted bravely and defended the death... As for the results of the battle, sometimes 200 people were revealed, and sometimes they were treated with vague numbers such as "nearly a thousand people" casualties. Of course, this cannot be considered wrong. Isn't the results still counting?

Of course, Japan would not promote such a scandal. Although the army despised the "weakness" of the Navy Cabinet, for understandable reasons, they did not want to inform the public of the cause of the disastrous defeat. Even Emperor Taisho himself was informed by the Minister and the Prime Minister for handling more than 10 hours after the incident. To the surprise of Mutanto Yamamoto, the emperor, who had ascended the throne, showed no signs of surprise or anger after hearing the news, but had a hint of peace in peace.

"I understand. The navy was defeated and the army suffered. You two families were finally even..."

"It's even?" Yamamoto was trying hard to think about what this means, Taisho continued: "I know you are not convinced and you are arguing with each other. I don't want to pursue anything. I just hope that things can be resolved successfully, and the people are still waiting to explain..."
