The emperor was furious, and the cabinet members suddenly became nervous, although the emperor actually did not have any substantive power, even if there were members of the imperial family who joined the army, and even held senior positions in the army, but it was only a symbolic significance, the actual power of Japanese politics was still firmly controlled by the feudal group, but after all, the emperor was a spiritual symbol of Japan, and since the Meiji era, Japan has also deliberately carried out deified propaganda to unite the Japanese people, so the emperor's prestige in Japan and Gansu is extremely high, and he has a high reputation for Japan. It is also extremely influential. What's more, now that the situation has fallen to this point, both the Japanese and the military have unshirkable responsibilities, and the emperor's anger is justified, and if he dismisses several ministers because of this, it is completely possible.

As a result, several bigwigs in the Japanese political arena finally gave up the contradiction for the time being and worked together again to deal with the current crisis. Of course, it is no longer possible to cooperate now, because the People's Army has penetrated more than 100 kilometers into the hinterland of the island and endangered nearly 10 cities, and according to the report, the People's Army is not simply occupying and destroying, but still organized the Japanese to take prisoners to China, Japan is originally a small country with few people, and this war has greatly damaged Japan's national strength, and if it loses a large number of people, even if the war ends, it will be difficult for Japan to recover its vitality, of course, this is also very likely to be the goal of East China.

Once the goal is unified, the efficiency of the Japanese ** is still quite high, first of all, of course, it is necessary to make a difference in the military, and the Minister of War Terauchi Masashi is not entangled with the navy, and decided on the spot to immediately send two divisions, and after one day, they will be stationed in Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures respectively, first block the expansion of the People's Army, limit the activities of the People's Army to the Noto Peninsula, and then gather more troops, which is expected to reach 6-8 divisions and regiments to annihilate the People's Army.

Originally, in order to prepare for the arrival of the British and French expeditionary forces, Japan planned to form 16 to 18 divisions in the country, and the first batch of 10 divisions had already been reorganized.

In addition, the Navy also made a suggestion that it could find an opportunity to dispatch ships to the northeastern tip of the Noto Peninsula to launch an attack from behind the KPA and coordinate a frontal attack. This suggestion aroused the interest of the Army, which thought that it could be re-studied as a backup plan.

In addition to the military, Japan believes that it is necessary to win more international sympathy and isolate East China, and now Britain and France have been completely antagonized to East China, and only the United States and Germany have a large number of weight, and Austria-Hungary and Italy also have a certain weight, so Japan believes that the work of winning international sympathy will be mainly concentrated on these four countries.

Although Germany has always had a good relationship with East China, the two countries have not yet formed an alliance after all, and there is not even a formal national cooperation document, and the relationship between Japan and Germany is also very good, and the army is basically like Germany to learn, so it is still possible for Japan to win Germany's help.

So Japanese Foreign Minister Komura Shotaro immediately made an appointment with the ambassador of the United States, Germany, Austria and Italy to Japan, and told them that Japan is now a victim and hopes that all countries can uphold justice for Japan and put pressure on East China, but Germany, Austria and Italy all said that this is a war between Japan and East China, and all countries have expressed a neutral attitude, so it is inconvenient to intervene, so they can only do nothing. Only the United States expressed sympathy for Japan and promised Japan that it would negotiate with East China.

Although the United States foresaw that East China would try its best to inflict heavy losses on Japan and Russia before the British and French expeditionary forces arrived in the Far East, so as to weaken the help of the expeditionary force, they all believed that East China's war against Japan should be in the direction of the Korean Peninsula and take the opportunity to occupy the Korean Peninsula, but they did not expect to directly attack the Japanese mainland.

However, when reviewing again, the United States found that the strategy of East China was far more clever than that of the Korean Peninsula, because the Japanese army only had 5 divisions on the Korean Peninsula, and the sea line was cut off by the People's Army, so even if the People's Army annihilated these 5 divisions and fully occupied the Korean Peninsula, the blow to Japan was actually limited, not to mention that since the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan has operated on the Korean Peninsula for more than 10 years. It also supported a group of Korean reincarnators, but Bi Jing was too late and had not yet formed a climate, so it would not be of much help to the People's Army at present. Moreover, in order not to push the South Korean people to the Japanese side, the use of military forces on the Korean Peninsula must consider taking proper care of the interests of the South Korean people.

When landing in Japan, the KPA had much more choice, and if it could fight too much, if it could not be defeated, it would withdraw to the sea by boat and find the next landing site, so that it could advance and retreat freely. Moreover, East China has not occupied Japan for a long time, so of course, there is no need to take into account the feelings of the Japanese people, and they can destroy it at will, and these damages will be Japan's losses. This not only weakened Japan's war capability and dealt a blow to the British and French expeditionary forces, but also took a longer time for Japan to recover its national strength after the war ended.

Once it is difficult for Japan to provide sufficient help to the British and French expeditionary forces, it will be difficult for the expeditionary force to completely defeat East China on the battlefield, at most it can only have a certain advantage at sea, and it is difficult to pose a substantial threat to East China on land. The harvest at the negotiating table will not be lower than the Portsmouth negotiations, but compared with the Portsmouth negotiations, Japan and Russia have been greatly weakened, so the recovery time of both countries will be extended after the war, and it will be difficult to pose enough threats to East China for a long time, and in the Far East, a situation will be formed in which East China is dominant.

But this is not the outcome that the United States wants to see. Although the isolationist sentiment in the United States was still very serious at this time, the political elites represented by US President Ocedo Roosevelt knew that the United States must not remain isolated in this way, and must go to the whole world and participate in world competition, and the Far East in Asia will be the first step in the United States' foreign expansion, but the rise of East China will undoubtedly make the United States' expansion in Asia meet a powerful opponent.

However, although the national strength of the United States is strong, its military construction has not kept up, and there is still a market for domestic isolationism, so although some people in the military advocate joining the expeditionary force and waging war against East China, the US political base is still cautious at this time and has not easily given up its neutral position.

However, the current situation does not allow the United States not to take action, so President Roosevelt, after consulting with his staff and advisers, made three action resolutions: First, to make diplomatic representations with East China, expressing the United States' concern about the situation in the Far East and putting pressure on East China, although Roosevelt also knew that this was useless, but at least to show East China** the attitude of the United States, which would also make East China ** more or less Second, in addition to military support, it will do its best to provide support to Japan, improve Japan's war capability, and increase the difficulty of war in East China; third, if Japan is defeated in the war, the United States will do its best to support Japan after the war, so that Japan can restore its national strength and military strength as soon as possible, so as to contain East China.

As a result, after receiving Washington's order, Will Jackson, the US consul in East China, immediately came to the Foreign Affairs Committee and made representations to East China, on the grounds that East China's burning of the war to the Japanese mainland was an act of expanding the scale of the war, which further worsened the situation in the Far East and made it more uncertain, which would seriously affect the commercial interests of the United States in the Far East.

So a day later, Li Sanjie replied to Will Jackson on behalf of East China, saying that since Japan and Russia can start a war on China's territory, then East China has the right to wage war on the territory of Russia and Japan, which has nothing to do with the scale of the war, and Britain and France have done more than East China to expand the scale of the war, so the United States is the object of the negotiation.

However, Japan is very grateful for the actions of the United States, and the ambassador to the United States, Kentaro Kaneko, held frequent talks with President Roosevelt, and the two sides finally agreed that the United States ** will provide Japan with a guarantee and provide a low-interest loan of 100 million US dollars to purchase American supplies, but will not directly provide Japan with currency, but in exchange for American materials, except for arms. After the end of the war, the United States will also carry out extensive economic cooperation with Japan in an effort to restore Japan's national strength at an early date.

Although the United States is limited to a neutral position and cannot provide arms to Japan, the materials are also urgently needed by Japan, after all, there is a great lack of all kinds of life in Japan, and the social crisis is very serious, if it can obtain daily necessities worth 100 million US dollars, of course, it can stabilize the domestic situation, which is also very important to Japan. And arms and weapons can be purchased from Britain and France, and to be honest, Japan still doesn't look down on arms produced by the United States!

As far as the United States is concerned, it has not suffered a loss, and the loan has to be repaid, although the interest rate is not high, but the base is large, so it is also quite considerable, and the loan is all used to purchase American materials, and also promote domestic consumption in the United States, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone and achieve a win-win situation. As a result, Kentaro Kaneko also quickly signed an agreement with the United States on the first batch of loans for supplies.
