Chapter 261: Unfinished war

"The Americans slaughtered our immigrants in Honolulu, and the imperial government made no actual actions except for a statement of condemnation. This is a great humiliation to the imperial government!" Huashan Ziji who just returned to Okinawa Said this angrily to Hirobumi Ito!

"Our navy can completely control the waters around Hawaii and block it completely. Why can't we take some tough actions so that Americans can never enter Asia? We are the masters of Asia in the future." With the words of Ito Hirobumi, Huashan Ziji became bolder.

   "It's a pity that the navy's warships can't get on the land, otherwise, I will let you kill all those Americans." Ito Hirofumi glanced at the opponent, and then said lightly. But just this look gave Huashan Ziji a shuddering feeling!

"What the **** is going on in this matter, I think the navy understands it very well, should I remind you? You did not have the permission of the imperial government, and now something has happened, you want to cover up this matter by holding the empire. You are so courageous! The army is just a sword, and the government is a swordsman with a sword! Don't make a mistake, or something embarrassing will happen to me!" Ito Hirofumi said angrily.

   "Then this war is over?" After Huashan Ziji withdrew in fear, Da Shanyan on the side asked in a low voice. To be honest, he was also depressed about Hawaii. Although he was an army and was angry about the actions of the navy, in his view, the Hawaii incident was obviously a failure and a stain of the empire in this war! If it can be erased, it is obviously better.

  "Then your army intends to go rafting thousands of miles to fight the American army of 50,000? Even if you agree, the government's money bag disagrees!" Ito Hirofumi sighed.

   "50,000 people are just bluffing." Da Shan Yan said unwillingly.

"It is impossible for 50,000 people, but it is still possible to make up 20,000 people after including the local Americans and some pro-American people. So have you ever thought about how much we have to pay to wipe out these 20,000 people? People are not the problem, the key is money! The empire’s treasury can already be a horse race."

"And even if we are lucky enough to occupy Hawaii now, once we go to war with Russia and the recovered U.S. Navy snatches Hawaii back, what shall we do? Regardless of the outcome of the Russo-Japanese War, we will not be able to fight the Americans immediately. There is a war, so we can't want Hawaii, even as long as we can maintain the status quo, it is good not to allow the Americans to annex it." Ito Hirobumi said.

"So should we take some diplomatic actions? For example, let the United States recognize our occupation of Samoa, and let Spain recognize our occupation of the Philippines? At least we must allow Japanese immigrants on the island of Hawaii to return safely." Said Gongwang Xiyuan Temple.

"You can talk with the Spaniards. After all, we still have a large number of Spanish hostages in our hands. But are the Americans? Forget it. I found that I underestimated the will and determination of the Americans. A rising power won't easily give in. "Ito Hirobumi said with a little regret.

  According to Ito's previous plan, after the war reached this level, let a neutral third party lead the peace talks with the Americans. Captives captured by the United States in the Philippines and Samoa can be returned to the United States, but as long as the United States recognizes the Pacific territories currently occupied by Japan, including American Samoa.

   But judging from the Americans’ current reaction, this peace talk is almost a delusion. The Americans do not intend to give in at all. Even if the strength of the troops is insufficient, they still refuse to bow their heads. The Hawaii incident is a very good proof. The Americans directly threw tens of thousands of armies on the island, showing a stalking posture. Our US Navy is indeed not as good as you, but you have the ability to fight with me. what! Obviously, the Japanese army simply does not have the ability to cross the ocean to fight a landing battle in Hawaii!

  The Americans do not intend to admit the end of this war, even if they can’t change everything, but it’s okay, the Americans can afford it. US Secretary of State Day once said to reporters from various countries: "The war between the United States of America and Japan and its accomplices has begun! Unless this evil country finally collapses, there will be no end!" A week ago, the diplomatic relations between the United States and Japan ended completely!

On the third day after the Hawaii incident, the U.S. Congress passed a huge naval construction plan. Starting in 1899, the U.S. Navy will start construction of at least three battleships or armored cruisers every year. This effort will continue until the battleships. The number reaches 18, and the number of armored cruisers reaches 12! The U.S. Navy has finally waited for the era of major expansion.

  The U.S. government rejected any proposal for mediation by any country, and they refused to recognize the outcome of this war. The war between the United States, the West and Japan ended on September 8, 1898, with the signing between Japan and Spain. The Japanese obtained all Spanish colonies in the entire Far East, while Spain only exchanged their captives in the Philippines and promised to allow local Spanish immigrants to leave the Far East with personal finances.

  The sea in the Far East is calm again~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But everyone knows very well that under the seemingly calm sea, the undercurrent of conflicts between big countries is surging, and I don’t know when it will break out again! The confrontation between the United States and Japan was unexpectedly advanced several decades! The two sides are facing each other across the vast ocean. From now on, the Americans do not want to tear the Eastern powers that shamed the United States to pieces all the time. The Japanese are still vigilant against the superpowers on the other side of the ocean even when they are fighting the Russians upside down!

For the confrontation between the United States and Japan, Prince Ruprecht, who is far away in Europe, has no interest. After all, he has little to do with him. His Royal Highness is most satisfied with the conflict between the United States and Japan. The relationship has become irreconcilable!

  Before the Russians fell, it was impossible for the British to abandon Japan, and after the Russians fell, Japan, which had grown up, became an important ally for Britain to stabilize Asia! So the same cannot be given up. The performance and actions of the British in this war also made it difficult for the Americans to forgive the British.

  Of course, if we consider the revenge that the Americans are about to take against Britain, then the British will not forgive the Americans. His Royal Highness is still looking forward to this completely different Boer War!
