Chapter 700: Desperate (2200 votes plus update)

  The island army undoubtedly wants to continue to implement the plan, and they are not afraid of the German army. In other words, they confidently thought that their combat power could confront the powerful German army. Therefore, they couldn't wait to go to war and incorporate those rich colonies into German territory.

"The Germans are indeed too arrogant! They are indeed very strong, and even the British and the French have been defeated by them. If a war really breaks out between the Empire and Germany, can we defeat them? The Empire has the current Achievements are hard-won!" Inoue Kaoru was a little worried.

   "Master Inoue, no matter how strong the Germans are, this is the Far East and our home field. The Imperial Army will definitely defeat them." Oka Ichinosuke was very confident.

   "Mr. Xiyuansi, what do you think?" Shanxian Youpeng looked at Xiyuansi Gongwang.

"Mr. Shanxian, gentlemen. The reaction of the Germans is indeed beyond my expectations. But do we have other options? If we retreat, then the colonies we gained in the Pacific Ocean will They had to be returned to the Germans. Even a compensation of 100 million marks had to be paid, which was equivalent to more than 50 million yen! The current imperial government simply cannot afford that much money. The subjects of the empire, We will not allow us to take so much money to compensate the Germans. Tens of millions of people in the empire are still waiting for us to expand the territory of the empire and let them live a good life!" Xiyuansi Gongwang said.

  The island country has a small territory and a large population, which makes the island people very much hope that the army can win more territory for them and obtain a larger living space. Once the army fails to satisfy their wishes, the consequences will be very serious.

  Shanxian Youpeng nodded, and the faces of other elders and cabinet ministers were also very serious.

"Originally, we thought that the Germans would not reject us. But unexpectedly, the Germans looked down on us from the bottom of their hearts. Even if we defeated the Qing Dynasty and Russia, in the eyes of Western powers, we are still a weak country. No one is willing to listen to his speech. No one will pay attention to our request. Therefore, we must further strengthen our strength!" Xiyuansi Gongwang continued.

"Our country has a small territory and lack of resources. Relying on our local resources, it is impossible for us to develop into a powerful country. Therefore, we must seize more territories. In this way, we will have enough resources For the rise of the empire, there will be enough land to feed the subjects of the empire. Now, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the empire, if you miss this opportunity, you will never have such an opportunity again in the future." Xiyuansi Gongwang said.

"Yes, Mr. Xiyuanji is right. Now, for the empire, it is a golden opportunity. The old powers such as Britain and France have been defeated. Although the Germans won the war, their losses must also be great. It will not be small. Especially now that they are going to launch an attack on the British mainland. In addition to the troops left behind in Europe, there will not be many troops they can send to deal with the empire. If the empire does its best, it will be enough to mobilize two hundred It is unrealistic for these troops to go to Europe to defeat the Germans. However, it is entirely possible to defeat the Germans who came all the way in the Far East." Da Shanyan said.

   "What about the Imperial Navy? Is it possible for the Imperial Navy to defeat the invading German fleet?" Masayoshi Matsukata asked.

"Lord Matsukata, the Imperial Navy does not yet have the strength to confront the Germans. Even if the Germans just send a fleet to the Far East, the Imperial Navy is not their opponent. The strength gap between the two sides is too great, and we can easily defeat them!" Yatsushiro Rokuro said.

   "If we can defeat the Germans this time, then we will have enough funds to develop the navy. At that time, the empire can allocate a special sum of money for the navy to build more battleships!" Said Yamagata Aritomo.

   "Yes, my lord." Yatsushiro Rokuro said.

  Shanxian Youpeng said so, which undoubtedly means that he has made a choice. That is, even if Germany rejects them, they will still launch an attack on the British colonies.

"Since the Germans have rejected us, the targets of our attacks are not limited to the British colonies. The Indochina colonies of the French have now belonged to the Germans. Then, we can also attack them. It is also quite rich there." Gongwang Xiyuansi continued.

   "In that case, we will completely offend the Germans, and we will almost never end with them! If the Germans come to fight with all their strength, how can we resist," Shanxian Youtomo frowned.

"It is impossible for the Germans to attack us with all their strength. At least in a short period of time, they will not send more troops to the Far East. In this case, it will give us enough time for development. As long as we can occupy those colonies, Relying on the wealth of the colonies, our strength will also grow by leaps and bounds. At that time, we will not have to be afraid of the Germans at all. Therefore, the first battle with the Germans is very important. As long as we can win, the empire It will have a more brilliant future. If it loses, then the empire will naturally have no future." Xiyuansi Gongwang said.

Shanxian Youpeng nodded: "Indeed, the army that the Germans sent to the Far East for the first time will not be too strong. If the Empire can win this battle, then we will be able to rise completely. Wait until the Germans second By the time we send more troops to the Far East for the first time, we have become stronger. At that time, it may not be impossible to defeat the Germans. Although, this is a bit risky. However, if successful, the benefits to the empire are too great .Gentlemen, shall we gamble again?"

   There is no doubt that this is a bet on the future of the entire island country. The gambling nature of the islanders is very high. Especially when they have won the bet twice in a row, they will naturally think that they can also win the third time.

   "I agree to bet on the national fortune again!" Da Shanyan said.

  Although Matsukata Masayoshi and Inoue Kaoru were a little worried, they also hoped to win this big gamble. In this way, the island country can save a lot of time and develop into one of the few powerful countries in the world. At that time, it will no longer be a dream for them to dominate the entire Far East.
