Chapter 1318 The decision of Japan’s top management 2

Don't worry, if Germany really intends to do this, Japan will never dare to do it. This situation is just like the three countries' intervention in Liaodong and Taiwan after the end of the Qing-Japanese War. Even though Germany is in Europe, the United States and Japan are separated by the Pacific Ocean. But if the two countries are really serious about it, Japan still can't see enough. So now Xiyuanji Gongwang is really scared, he hopes the army can be more powerful...

"Hold the grass... I feel like I'm going to suffer!" After listening to the words of Saionji Gongwang, Katsura Taro felt that something was wrong. It's not that he disagrees with Xiyuanji's words. In fact, before this meeting, Xiyuanji Gongwang had already communicated with him privately. I think it's better that the Allies won. But he always felt something was wrong. After a moment, his expectation became reality.

"Mr. Yamaxian, please make sure that the flag of the imperial army is planted on Constantinople!" Mr. Xiyuanji glanced at Mr. Shanxian and then said. "Don't mention the budget, don't mention funding and equipment. I can help you try to solve these things. The navy will make concessions in next year's budget. Just follow the army armament plan you proposed last year. "

"Shit!" Said by Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple, this sentence did not give Shanxian Youpeng a feeling that happiness came too suddenly. Instead, he felt that he had accidentally fallen into a pit. Outside the pit, Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple, Japan The navy, British, and Germans took shovels and filled it with soil... A shovel is as fast as a spade. It was about to collapse.

"We need more troops, equipment and budget." Shanxian Youpeng said with some difficulty.

"No problem, this year's army armaments budget can be increased by 20%." Xiyuanji Gongwang said with two fingers.

"But the problem is that it is difficult to launch a large-scale land attack in the Balkans. And to the north is the Bavarian Army of at least 6 divisions deployed by Prince Leopold. Even if we send 6 divisions, we will never be able to defeat 6 Bavarian division." Finally, Youpeng from Shan County gave in and said with a sad face. He now understands the Navy a little bit. At least before the Navy's operation, they had the courage, the confidence to win, and the plan to trick the Germans. But if the army really fights to the death with the Bavarian Army of the same size, there will be no hope of victory at all. Shanxian Youpeng still has this self-knowledge.

When the Japanese government is not serious about it, Yamagata Yutomo can naturally make a boast and say that we can adjust the pace of our offensive according to the needs of the government. But if we take it seriously, to be honest, the record of the Japanese Army is not as good as that of the Navy. . The French's evaluation of Japan's troops on the Western Front has always fluctuated between poor cannon fodder and passable cannon fodder. Just assist the offense and help the defense, and count on them to tear apart the opponent's defense. Might as well count on the Belgians….

"Try to do it as much as possible. You can treat it as a military order." Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple sighed and said,

Japan is indeed incomparable with the truly top powers. To put it nicely, Japan is just a troublemaker and cannot play a decisive role. In other words, the outcome of the war is not something that Japan can interfere with. Japan can only be a recipient and cannot dominate. This feeling is really bad.

"What if the Dardanelles cannot be broken through?" Katsura Taro felt that he should help his brother.

"Then we must ensure that the navy has the lowest deterrence. We must also try our best to ensure that Britain and France can have a decent ending. However, after the war is over, we need to have a good relationship with Germany." Saionji Gongwang said. It would be great if we could knock Germany down with a single blow, but what if we can't defeat it? Of course you are giving in! I’m really waiting for De and Mei to come up and fix themselves together! Kneel down if you can't beat him. This is a normal thing. There is nothing to hesitate about.

Different from the irreconcilable conflicts between the United States and Japan, in the view of Xiyuanji Gongwang, Germany and Japan cannot commit a crime of life and death, right? This can be regarded as Japan leaving a way out for itself. Because they know that as long as Germany is undefeated this time, Britain's strategy will inevitably shrink across the board in the future. If even homeland security cannot be guaranteed, how can Britain have the power to help Japan offset the pressure from the United States? Therefore, regarding the future situation, Saionji Konobo's request is that after the war, Japan must at least maintain a reasonable relationship with Germany.

"This..." Except for Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple, everyone else felt that this style of painting changed too quickly. Just now, we said we would try our best to help the Allied Powers win, but why did it suddenly become like this? ! In fact, this is when the quality of a politician is reflected. He can bend and stretch, but his face is nothing!

"Of course, everyone needs to pay attention to the fact that helping the British to achieve a good result does not mean that we have to put all our wealth on the line. Our future actions can focus on two points. First, the Army will do its best to win the battle in Dada. Neil Strait needs a breakthrough. If the army's action fails, then the navy needs to dispatch capital ships to deploy to the North Sea to cooperate with the British navy to at least maintain the maritime advantage!" Saionji Komō said.

In fact, since Sir Fisher came to Japan, Saionji Konobo has been considering the future relationship between Japan and the great powers. After soliciting the opinions of military personnel, he felt that Japan could break the situation and influence the overall situation. There are only two aspects. The Battle of Dardanelles was an offensive, a proactive offensive action by Japan to win the victory of the Allies. Agreeing for the fleet to enter the North Sea is the final act of guaranteeing the bottom line. This is Japan's last fuse to prevent Britain and France from losing. (It's not that safe after all.)

Saionji Konobo believes that if the Battle of the Dardanelles fails, Russia is likely to collapse within 2 years. If there is an external transportation channel, if the German forces on the east and west fronts merge and attack the west front together, the pressure will be really great. It was too scary. He believed that the best outcome for Britain and France would be to reach a tie armistice. Considering the terrifying combat effectiveness of the German Navy, after listening to the opinions of the navy, I believe that ensuring that the British Navy does not lose is the bottom line for both parties to be invincible. Therefore, if Japan wants to avoid being liquidated by Germany and Germany after the war, Then the British Navy must not lose, which is the fundamental reason why he asked the Navy to enter the North Sea!

Although it is heartbreaking that these battleships may go out for a fight and never come back, but to be honest, Japan really does not want the Allies to lose. Of course, if these two steps fail, then certain concessions can only be made. For example, the German Pacific Islands that were originally swallowed can be considered spitting out. Then sell some benefits in exchange for Germany to stop. At least the Dutch East Indies cannot be lost!
