Chapter 111: We have too many enemies
"That is to say, the entire First Army was severely defeated by a small Jiulian city? So now it needs new troops to support? Is that true?" Ito Hirobumi glanced at Dashanyan, and then said flatly.
"I have disappointed the empire and your majesty!" Dashanyan said with ashamed expression. The first army of Yutomo in Shanxian County failed to fight, and then began to march towards Liaodong. After the second army came over, it carried out security missions against Russia and Germany. During the period, Japan and Germany had several encounters, and the result was defeated by Japan. In the end, the exchange ratio in particular fell to a level where people are ashamed. The best performance of the Japanese army was a 4 for 1! I realized that the Japanese were only at this level, and the main direction of attack was not the Blue Legion here, and did not immediately withdraw from Jiulian City, but continued to stand up!
In short, the current situation is that the Japanese are absolutely unable to attack, and the Russians' several attacks have not worked. The Germans were limited and unable to attack, and the two sides were so deadlocked! But it's not a problem if the stalemate continues. Dashanyan's Second Army has been restrained by most of its strength. How would you say Lushun fight?
"Okay, get back. This is no longer something you can solve. Do your own thing, protect the safety of Shanxian-jun's flanks, and leave the rest to us." Ito Hirofumi waved his hand to indicate that Dashanyan can go. After the latter withdrew, only Ito Hirofumi, Saiyuanji Gongwang and Foreign Minister Mutsumitsu Mutsu were left in the house!
"The cost of this war is a little beyond our imagination! We are too indulgent to those soldiers! The trouble they brought us has seriously threatened the safety of the empire!" Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said.
"I'll talk about these things later. Let's solve the problems we are facing now. We have too many enemies, to the point that even the British are unwilling to help us. The British feel that they have paid too much." Mutsuzongguang was flat. There was a trace of frustration in the tone. In addition to Britain's goodwill, the Americans are also willing to deal with Japan in the face of money. The rest of the big countries are hostile to Japan! And Russia and Germany directly intervened in this war!
"The situation is not that serious. It goes without saying that the Russians are our mortal enemies, but the Germans are more out of anger! They have no core interests in the Far East, and there is no reason to pay too much. They look forward to the empire. The yield and compensation. This can be won!" Ito Hirobumi is not pessimistic.
"How to succumb? We paid a total of 1.5 million pounds in compensation! The so-called culprit is also dead! They are not willing to let us go? Do they have to open the door to the Germans to act recklessly like the black ship incident? Are you satisfied?" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said excitedly.
"This is not the case. We only need to make the Germans realize that the Far East in the hands of the empire will be more in the interests of Germany than in the hands of the Russians. Germany has no territorial requirements for the Far East. They just want to make money!" In order to be a rare genius in Japan for a century, he was very keenly aware of the core of the contradiction between Germany and Japan. The Germans believed that they had lost face and worried that their interests in the Far East would be affected. Limit interference to beat Japan.
So Ito Bowen tried every means to play down the worries of the Germans, didn’t he just want economic benefits? The Japanese can buy industrial products, chemical products and even arms from Germany. At the same time, it is doing some low-profile handling in diplomacy. The German government, which has both face and lee, will naturally gradually weaken its hostility to Japan.
"This matter seems to you to be very simple." What Xiyuanji Gongwang said was a little unpredictable.
"It is not simple. The weakening of the German central government’s hostility towards Japan cannot completely change the situation we are in now. Germany’s national conditions are different from Japan. It is composed of several states, and each state has great Autonomy. Although they have limited influence on German foreign policy, some of their actions will still affect the situation in the Far East!"
"You are talking about the Kingdom of Bavaria? It is necessary to give a country with an area of less than 70,000 square kilometers and a population of less than 8 million, but it almost monopolizes the supply of hardened armor for the world navy, and their rapid-fire gun technology even Krupp and Skoda. Old-brand arms factories are all rushing. There are also those machine guns and semi-automatic rifles. It is no exaggeration to say that although Bavaria is small, its industry, especially the military industry, occupies a certain position throughout Europe. Coupled with independence, some of their actions will directly Affect the Far East!" Mutsuzongguang suddenly realized.
"Actually, this time, the one we offended the most was not the German government, but the prince of Bavaria! When the navy launched that reckless operation, the prince was on the ship! He is much better than Nicholas II. If you have any grudges! Cruel heart!" Ito's blog post nodded slightly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This prince was a little bit arrogant. For his own private grievances, he actually used the power of the country to retaliate. He is a feudal lord, and this kind of person is not suitable for ruling. one country! "Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.
"It's not a private complaint, but an interest! The Russian order made the prince have to support Russia's operations in the Far East. Only if Russia is against us can his warships and guns sell better! Bavarian products make us big Suffering!" Mutsuzongguang finally understood!
Bavaria’s main product is arms, how can arms sell well? Naturally, there must be a war, and to prove the superiority of his weapons in the war, and now this prince is doing this, using battle after battle as an advertisement! Let the Russian gold rubles flow into the purse of the Kingdom of Bavaria! The Japanese Navy has proven the strength of the Munich-class armored cruisers with the loss of several battleships, and the Japanese Army has been beaten up by the Bavarian Army. If the Russians don’t buy Bavarian ones, who will buy them? !
"Then you mean, let the empire use yen to buy this as a prince? But it seems that it is too late now. The relationship between Germany and Russia will not break down. Even if we want to buy equipment from Germany, it is impossible to ship it." Temple Gongwang said.
"This is a long process, and the time to take effect will be very slow, but we have to do it again. The generals of the army and navy have admired German equipment for a long time. Dashanyan is a staunch German person. This is not only It is only a diplomatic issue, but it is also a military issue! Even if diplomatic relations have not changed, our military can still benefit from German arms!" Ito Hirobumi said.
