Although the plan was formulated, it first needed domestic approval, and secondly, it needed Japan's cooperation, because Taiwan was still under Japan's control, and it was still necessary to land on Japan itself, and without Japan's cooperation, it would have been impossible to complete it. However, the communication and coordination between these ** matters are handled in China, and the expeditionary force only needs to wait patiently in Singapore and recuperate. During this period, the commander continued to conduct war games to calculate the chances of the reorganized three fleets fighting the KPA fleet.

After receiving the revised battle plan of the expeditionary force, Britain and France also launched urgent consultations, and finally agreed to the revised battle plan, of course, the process was also very intense.

According to the original establishment of the expeditionary force by Britain and France, it was to end the battle in half a year with overwhelming superiority, after all, the center of gravity of the two countries is not in the Far East, and they do not want to consume more national strength in the Far East, and according to the revised plan, this battle will definitely last more than half a year, and there is a great possibility of more than a year.

But the results of the naval battle of the Natuna Islands are indeed too amazing, the British Empire has dominated for more than a hundred years, but it is not blindly arrogant, there is a gap must be admitted, and although France has always regarded itself very highly, but in terms of naval warfare, it has to admit that Britain's level is higher than its own, since Britain attaches so much importance to the navy of East China, France naturally does not dare to despise it. Moreover, at this time, both Japan and Russia were hit hard by East China, and their strength was greatly damaged, and they could not provide enough help to the expeditionary force.

At the same time, the militaries of the two countries also strongly support the revised battle plan, after all, the military considers more battlefield factors than political factors, and now that the situation in the Far East has changed, if the original battle plan is still implemented, not only will it not be able to win a quick victory, but it will also be dragged into the quagmire of war, let alone one year, even two or three years may not be able to end the war.

Britain and France are still sensible, the attitude of the military can not be ignored, in addition to the two countries are indeed a little difficult to ride the tiger, Bi Jing's army has been sent, if it can not win, it will be a heavy blow to the two countries, because of the Monaco crisis has just ended, although Germany under the pressure of Britain and France, on the Monaco issue has taken a concession attitude, but if Britain and France fall into the quagmire of the Far East war, Germany will definitely find other excuses to make trouble. Therefore, there is no room for failure in this war. In this case, the British and French leaders could only agree to a revised battle plan, but demanded that the expeditionary force must win.

When Britain proposed to Japan to station in the port of Sasebo in Nagasaki, Japan returned to Britain almost in seconds, expressed a warm welcome to the British fleet, and also agreed that the expeditionary fleet would use the port of Kaohsiung to land troops and station in Taiwan. He also said that if the British fleet can help Japan and annihilate the invading KPA, Japan can organize 4-5 divisions and regiments to participate in the landing operations of the expeditionary force within three months, and that Japan still has 5 divisions and regiments on the Korean Peninsula and 3 Korean divisions, and as long as the route between Japan and the Korean Peninsula can be restored, Japan can launch another attack from the Korean Peninsula to contain the strength of the KPA.

To be honest, Japan has now regarded the expeditionary force as its own life-saving straw, because after the disastrous defeat in the Battle of the Noto Peninsula, the Japanese army was no longer able to drive up the KPA occupying the Noto Peninsula, so it could only send four more divisions to set up a defensive line at the entrance of the Noto Peninsula to block the road for the KPA to enter Kyushu Island from the Noto Peninsula. The rest of the army could only fight fire in Japan and attack the landing KPA.

However, Japan's western coast is more than 1,200 kilometers long, and the People's Army can land at any time and any place at will, so that Japan cannot be defeated at all, and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the battle of the Noto Peninsula, and was forced to put a group of soldiers who were still fully trained into the battlefield, these soldiers not only lack actual combat experience, but even the basic military quality is extremely insufficient, and in addition, Japan's national strength is now insufficient, and sea shipping has been cut off by the People's Army, so the weapons are very simple, and the artillery is scarce, because it is very few large and medium-caliber artillery, and the combat effectiveness is naturally very worrisome, and although the weapons of the Russian mercenary regiment are more rudimentary, except for rifles, there are basically no other weapons, but under the same conditions, the Japanese army is still not the opponent of the Russian army, and once the war is unfavorable, the Russian army can get on the ship and withdraw to regroup, and then choose another place to land, while the Japanese army can only be exhausted to plug the leaks everywhere. On the whole, the KPA has repeatedly succeeded in naval attacks, and has also caused great damage to Japan, and has also captured a large number of people, and the number of Japanese laborers sent back to East China has exceeded 200,000, and on the Noto Peninsula, there are nearly 200,000 laborers waiting to be transported.

Japan's ** and the military basically do not have much to deal with this, although the army is plugging and filling the gaps everywhere, but the effect is not great, and the people are very dissatisfied with the incompetence of the ** and the military, and the newspapers have also criticized the unfavorable government of **, which has led to an attack on Japan's homeland. The war, which had lasted for two and a half years, had brought Japan's economy to the brink of collapse, and the people's lives were extremely difficult and full of resentment, and at this time they had found an opportunity to vent, so in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and other places, there were successive outbreaks of cluster incidents, demanding that the Cabinet members come to power, and some even demanded that cabinet members commit suicide en masse and apologize, and at the same time, there have also been many violent incidents such as smashing, looting, and burning in various parts of Japan.

Moreover, at this time, even the Meiji Emperor was a little unbreathable, and summoned Prime Minister Katsura Taro twice in a row, and was furious, asking the Cabinet and the War Department to stabilize the situation in Japan as soon as possible, so the Cabinet and the War Department also felt heavy pressure, although the pressure on the Navy was a little less, but the current situation in Japan was really not optimistic, and he did not dare to gloat.

There are also some people in the cabinet who regret it, thinking that it would be better to agree to the negotiation conditions of East China ** during the Portsmouth negotiations, when East China ** asked Japan to compensate for 50 million pounds of war losses, but Japan refused, which led to the breakdown of the Portsmouth negotiations, and now Japan's war losses have far exceeded 50 million pounds. But it's too late to regret it now, and now it's impossible to renegotiate, firstly, at this time to negotiate with East China, Japan will pay a heavier price, and secondly, the expeditionary force has been dispatched, at this time Japan and East China ** negotiated, so where will its ally Britain be?

Another thing that Japan regrets is that it did not restore diplomatic relations with Russia at the end of the day. When Japan launched the Russo-Japanese War, the diplomats of the two countries were evacuated, and after the breakdown of the Portsmouth negotiations, Britain and France had arranged for the restoration of diplomatic relations between Japan and Russia, which facilitated the liaison between the two sides and was conducive to the war against East China, but at this time Japan and Russia were still suspicious, and they were not interested in restoring diplomatic relations, and Britain and France did not force it, and the Bijing expeditionary force was led by Britain and France, and there was not much contact between Japan and Russia. Knowing the difference in this thought has become one of the things that Japan regrets the most now.

Since a considerable part of the People's Army this time are Russian soldiers, although it is in the name of mercenaries, everyone understands that these Russian soldiers are actually prisoners of war in East China, and Japan has also contacted Russia when there is nothing to be done, hoping that Russia can play a little role in these Russian mercenaries, and if the Russian mercenaries can withdraw from this battle, Japan's pressure will be reduced a lot. However, Russia said that it could not help, because there was no Russian diplomatic office in Japan, otherwise Russia could persuade Russian mercenaries to withdraw from the battle through diplomatic institutions, and even help Japan to fight.

In fact, when the Japanese mainland was attacked by the People's Army, Russia was completely in a state of mind of schadenfreude and schadenfreude to see the excitement and not think it was a big deal; first, Russia's resentment against Japan was still unresolved; second, Russia believed that it would be beneficial for Russia to launch an operation against the Japanese mainland in East China, because it could shift the attention of East China from Russia to Japan, which would also help Russia win time to restore its military strength in the Far East.

At the same time, Russia also made a suggestion to Japan, that is, it could release and arm all the Russian prisoners captured by Japan to help Japan fight. However, this proposal was collectively opposed by the Japanese cabinet, because Japan did not believe in Russia, and if they let out all these hairy people, who could control them, and if they colluded with Russian mercenaries, it would not cost Japan its life.

Now that the expeditionary force has finally arrived in Asia and will also be stationed in Japan, the British fleet will be stationed in Sasebo and help Japan annihilate the invading KPA, which is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the whole of Japan, and the British fleet will be regarded as a lifeline for Japan, as if as soon as the British fleet arrives, it can immediately annihilate the KPA that has invaded Japan.

In fact, it is not wrong to think this way, because the failure of the battle of the Noto Peninsula is because Japan does not have the right to control the sea, so that the People's Army stationed on the Noto Peninsula can get the fire support of the navy, and furthermore, the People's Army can attack the Japanese mainland, and it is also because East China has the control of the sea, so once the British fleet is stationed in Japan, it will inevitably help Japan regain sea supremacy, so that the People's Army that landed in Japan will also lose its greatest reliance, and if it does not take the initiative to retreat, it will inevitably be annihilated. Therefore, the Japanese ** impatiently welcomed the expeditionary force to Kaohsiung and Sasebo.

After receiving the reply from China, Phillips and Beauchamp also breathed a sigh of relief, the two had been worried that the country would refuse the expeditionary force's proposal to revise the battle plan for political interests, or with the mentality of a quick battle, asking the expeditionary force to act according to the original plan. However, the two countries also asked the expeditionary force to rush to the Far East as soon as possible to participate in the war and achieve a victory, so as to boost morale and let the two countries breathe a sigh of relief.
