Following Yamamoto's finger, Toushanman found that place on the map, that small place with many expectations and hegemony ideals. Zuilu Academy

At first he thought it was Taiwan, but he thought about how could the Imperial Army easily use the "precious" territory by bloody 20 years ago to use the Revolutionary Party as a base for engaging in affairs? So, in addition, Qiongzhou became an ideal choice.

I heard that the Navy had already made the idea of ​​Qiongzhou earlier? Relying on the extremely rich information channels of the Black Dragon Society, Toushanman had already discovered the Navy's "interest" in Qiongzhou in advance, but he didn't expect...

"The Navy has carried out effective preliminary work in the visit to Qiongzhou." Yamamoto seemed careless to tell Touman Man, "According to our investigation, Qiongzhou is an extremely important place with a strategic position. First, Qiongzhou is across the sea from mainland China. Although it is just a strait, it forms a natural barrier for Qiongzhou. This is similar to Taiwan's status. The difference is that Taiwan has no other islands except the island and Penghu. Qiongzhou also has vast archipelagos in the southern ocean. In terms of strategic situation, Qiongzhou and Taiwan form a powerful double pincer for strategic surrounds China; Second, Qiongzhou is hot in the climate and agricultural conditions are extremely favorable. Whether it is soil, temperature, or water sources, it is a good place for developing agriculture. Rice can even be ripened three times a year. According to the survey of geological experts, Qiongzhou also contains certain coal and iron resources; Third, the population is small, and most of them are not Han people, which makes it convenient to control the population..."

"The Prime Minister's foresight is extremely admired, but..." Toushanman paused for a moment, "Although Qiongzhou has a strait as a barrier, if China uses the navy, it will be impossible to stop the revolutionary party and those who do not expect the empire's naval power. This base will be difficult to maintain."

"This is the trouble." Yamamoto sighed, "Originally, according to my idea, if we win the Shandong strategy battle, Zuilu Academy Qiongzhou would be the appropriate spoil, and even have both, which is not as unsatisfactory as it is now.

”

"Forgive me to make a statement, if the Navy directly occupied Qiongzhou and then used Qiongzhou to oppress China on the issue of Shandong, wouldn't it be more direct?"

As expected, we cannot underestimate the person in front of us. Yamamoto was secretly alert, but he looked bitter: "If you were the emperor of China, would you please?"

"This?" Tooshanman was speechless for a moment, "It's really hard to say... According to China's consistent attitude, if we cannot gain a favorable position on the battlefield, it will be useless even if we occupy it. Conversely, if we have an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield, it doesn't matter even if we don't occupy it in a substantial way. Isn't this the case in Taiwan?"

"The key issue is that the situation on the battlefield is very unoptimistic." Yamamoto was worried. "It is actually no big deal to lose a division. When did they not sacrifice 20 years ago? The question is how to balance sacrifice and reward."

"Then you have to keep fighting."

"Do you think the empire has a chance to force China to seek peace?"

"I am frank. I can't see it for the time being. Even if there is, it's hard to use it. The current situation is not 20 years ago or 10 years ago." Tooyama Man hesitated for a moment and told Yamamoto. "According to what we understand, since the reform and improvement of China, all aspects have made corresponding progress, no longer the dilemma of being savage 20 years ago. However, this kind of intelligence. The army stared at Luguo and the navy, and the navy stared at the United States. Where would they consider the possibility of China turning over?"

Facing Toyama Man's slightly sarcastic words, Yamamoto was speechless - who should he hold accountable?

"There is an old saying in China: Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Zuilu Academy." Toushanman began to discuss the cabinet's policy in a verbal way. "According to my understanding, the military headquarters made the mistake of underestimating the enemy this time. He thought that with a division, China could force it to surrender. He was not as cautious as he did in the past two wars. Is the result..."

"It is extremely painful to make a decision without effectively judging the opponent's strength." Yamamoto's face was gloomy and his tone was unnatural, but he had to confess, "The Empire is now powerless to fight again."

"I heard about the financial crisis..."

"It's not just finance... but diplomacy." Yamamoto hesitated, but made up his mind to say, "The British side has sent a final letter, hoping that the empire can assist Britain, enter the European battlefield as soon as possible, and end the issue with China in Shandong.

In return, the UK expressed its recognition of the empire's efforts toward the German Pacific and promised that China would open Jiaozhou Bay as a public port."

"This is far from enough." Toushanman suddenly remembered the words he received a few days ago, and his heart was touched. "Prime Minister, please be honest. I have been bluntly criticizing the cabinet recently."

"Outside?" Yamamoto suddenly laughed, "That's just a cover. I know that all the rumors came from the Army.

”

The head mountain was silent, and the conflicts between the army and the navy were really not something that people like him could ask about.

"However, don't worry about such irrelevant trivial matters, so the revolutionary party will ask you more sir..." Yamamoto looked at Toyama and said, "Except for the direct support of the Imperial Army and Navy, you can use all means that you can use to make the Revolutionary party believe in the sincerity of the Imperial Government."

...

With a "clang", the cup filled with sake fell to the ground and turned into pieces.

"You said, Yamamoto is planning to negotiate peace with China?" The old man in kimono showed anger and could barely suppress his displeasure.

"Yes, the Prime Minister summoned me just now, hoping that I could move the Chinese Revolutionaries." The one who spoke to Toushanman was the leader of the constitutional party.

"This is a good move." Daejongxin's face improved slightly, "What does the Army mean?"

"Is there any need to say that, I will naturally not agree."

"Not necessarily, Prime Minister Lu may nod."

"Gangshi is too tight to follow Yamamoto. According to the temperament of Yama Prefecture, how could he tolerate it for a long time?"

"Don't you know that the Lord of Shan County is planning a downfall? Even Gang City is also the target of the replacement. Do you think he can't be in a hurry?" He was the one who jumped out and complained now. He really looked down on all parties and lost all the face of the army."

"It sounds like you're up for the Army?"

"No, the army and the navy have no good things, they are all a group of red deer." Big | Taboo, "If it weren't for Nishiharaji Komakoshi and Yama Prefecture, how could the situation have fallen to this point."

"If you lose your house, it will be your day to come back."

Big |=.It's the same, it's hard..."

"As an individual, I understand Yamamoto's decision. Now that the European war is in Zhengzhi, the empire should have shrunk its strength to focus on East Asia and conduct business activities. No matter how you look at it, it is not the time to fight against China."

"They only have Qingdao in their eyes."

"A little bit of a fly head and a small profit!" Big|= Plan, what do you have to say?"

"First, we must ensure that the revolutionary party can survive on its own strength; second, we must firmly ensure that the situation in Qiongzhou is in our hands..."

"If I tell you, maybe this is just Yamamoto's expedient approach?"

"This possibility does exist, but even the expedient method is still undetectable, and this joke is too big."

"It was the Army who joked first. Yamamoto was very annoyed about this and roared in front of me for nearly half an hour."

This idiot, Mitsukoshi, the two of them have already scolded the divine in their hearts...

"Of course, I didn't take it too seriously from the beginning... As long as China offers heart-warming exchange conditions, he will exchange everything without hesitation. Therefore, my warning is also very simple. "Big||. The destructive power of the revolutionary party cannot make it jump out of our control; the second thing is that secrets must be implemented to prevent people from seeing through..."

"Been taught a lesson."

"Thank you for your hard work in this matter, I hope you remember one thing. No matter how the cabinet changes, our support for Black Dragon and you will never be reduced."

"I feel relieved if you say this." How could I not hear the change of cabinet revealed by Chongxin between the lines? The reason why he is so timid is that he hopes to be invincible in political changes with this attitude.
