Ito Hirobumi was stunned, but he didn't expect that after talking about it for a while, Naoto Miyamoto mentioned the danger of inciting populism again. In fact, Miyamoto Naoto also mentioned the danger of populism in the past, but Ito Hirobumi didn't pay much attention to it, because he really hadn't seen the danger of populism, and there was no historical precedent to learn from. In addition, Japan did gain a great deal from stirring up popular sentiments, and the victory in the First Sino-Japanese War in the past, as well as the Russo-Japanese War in the early stage of the Far Eastern War, were all due to the arouse of popular sentiment in Japan, which enabled the army to fight bloody battles on the battlefield regardless of life and death.

Although the incitement of public opinion also brought some negative effects to Japan, the assassination of Li Hongzhang during the negotiations with Shimonoseki forced Japan to reduce the conditions for compensation, and the Nagasaki incident also disrupted Japan's plans, but on the whole, the gains far outweighed the losses. In addition, Japan is now in a relatively critical situation, and it needs a sense of common hatred and hatred, so from Ito Hirobumi's heart, he does not think there is anything wrong with inciting public opinion, and Japan still needs it very much. However, Ito Hirobumi is a politician with brains after all, even if Miyamoto Naoto mentioned it again and again, and according to previous experience, Miyamoto Naoto is almost true to his word, and Ito Hirobumi has to think about it seriously.

So after thinking about it carefully, Ito Hirobumi said: "Miyamoto-kun, I can understand your concerns, but at present, Japan needs a concerted heart and a common hatred for the enemy, and needs the infinite loyalty of the Japanese people to the emperor and hatred for the government in East China. But during this difficult time, I will take your concerns into account when we are in power. ”

Speaking of this, Miyamoto Naoto is not easy to continue, after all, Ito Hirobumi's words are not completely unreasonable, and now Japan's situation is indeed not good, in this situation, the most effective way to incite public opinion to stabilize the situation in the short term and get out of the predicament, and the army department to form a cabinet to govern, Ito Hirobumi can do is limited, only when the political friends will be in power, Ito Hirobumi can exert his influence, so it is not realistic to ask Ito Hirobumi to try to stop or reduce the agitation of public opinion.

So Miyamoto Naoto said: "Okay, it's late today, so I won't disturb Mr. to rest and take my leave." ”

Ito Hirobumi also nodded and said, "Miyamoto-kun, I have benefited a lot from today's conversation, Japan needs people like you." ”

Out of Ito Hirobumi's mansion, the street is empty, only the dim street lights are on, it looks very bleak, because the order in Tokyo is not good during this time, there are a large number of people on the street every day, protesting against the government's weakness to the outside world, and there have also been vicious incidents such as smashing, looting and burning, so the Tokyo area implements curfew control at night, but now Miyamoto Naoto is a capable leader of the Political Friends Association, so he naturally has a pass.

However, although the street was empty and cold, Miyamoto Naotaku's mood was very depressed, and he did not expect that the situation in Japan would be so corrupted. When they first came to this era, after a short period of adaptation, the three of them were ambitious to not only help Japan stand tall in the world, but also avoid the defeat of World War II and keep Japan strong.

Of course, it is not surprising that the three of them have such ambitions, after all, in the old time and space, the three of them can be called elites, and they are familiar with the historical development of this period, and they are also somewhat influenced by the novels of the old time and space, although they also know that China's overseas Chinese evacuation fleet also traveled to this era together and landed in China, after all, Japan was already an old industrial country at that time, and basically achieved national independence, and China is still a semi-feudal and semi-colonial agricultural country, it can be said that Japan's development foundation is much better than China's. Although the evacuation fleet brought a few modern warships, Bi Jing had a limited number of them and did not replenish them, so there was nothing to fear when the weapons on the ships were all used up.

But now about 9 years have passed, and after the victory in the Far East War, the East China Government established by the personnel of the Chinese Overseas Chinese Evacuation Fleet has become a force that no country can ignore in this era, and the unification of the whole of China is just around the corner, and after Japan's defeat in the Far East War, its vitality has been greatly damaged, and the space for development has also been affected by the East China Government In any case, in the old time and space, Japan defeated Russia in the Russo-Japanese War, and then lasted for nearly 40 years to dominate the East Asian region, and it is also one of the great powers in the world.

Although the three of them were elites in the old time and space, and they were also the best among people in this era, and in these 8 or 9 years, they could be regarded as quite good personal achievements, but the achievements of the three could not affect the political situation in Japan, and they could not display the ambitions of the three people. Before the Far East War, Miyamoto Naoto repeatedly reminded Ito Hirobumi to pay attention to the movements of the East China government; after the East China government entered the war, Japan completely lost the battlefield advantage and initiative, and Miyamoto suggested to Ito Hirobumi that while Russia was still holding back the East China government, he would immediately negotiate peace with the East China government, withdraw from the war at a lower price, and reduce losses.

However, the personnel of China's overseas Chinese evacuation fleet have started a new business in China, but now they are in full swing, and the huge gap between the two sides can be seen.

Miyamoto Naoto and the other three have not been able to influence the political situation in Japan until now, and an important reason is that the three of them have too shallow roots in Japan, and it can even be said that they have no foundation at all. Although Japan's history is not as long as China's, it is also a country with a long history in the world, and it is in the feudal period for most of the time, so although Japan in this era is basically a modern industrialized country, the traditional customs are still strong, whether it is the workplace or the political arena, they all talk about the poor and seniority, compete for family background and connections, like Miyamoto Naoto and other three people, who have no foundation background in Japan, and want to be in 8, It is simply impossible to get ahead and stand at the pinnacle of power within 9 years.

Miyamoto Naoto relied on his accurate prediction of the current situation before and after the Far East War to gain Ito's absolute trust and appreciation, and became one of the main backbones of the Politics Friendship Association, but that's it, Ito Hirobumi is not obedient to him, after all, Ito Hirobumi has formed his own values and judgment, and it is impossible to change without obvious failure.

But now Japan is on the verge of danger, in fact, Miyamoto Naoto is not worried about Japan's economy, Bi Jing and the First World War gold mine, enough to restore Japan's economic strength. In the old time and space, it was precisely like this, after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan remained a debtor country, and it was not until the outbreak of World War I that Japan turned over as a creditor country in one fell swoop. Although the history of this era has changed considerably, the contradictions between the major European powers have not diminished at all, and the two major blocs of the Entente and the Central Powers are still formed, so the outbreak of the First World War is inevitable, but only a few years earlier or later.

However, the biggest problem now is that the government of East China, or China has risen, has greatly squeezed Japan's living space, in the old time and space, Chinese diplomats have a common saying, is: the Pacific Ocean is big enough to accommodate the two big countries of China and the United States. However, in cyberspace, which is the cyberspace of China and Japan, there is also a saying that East Asia cannot accommodate China and Japan. This also shows the cruel gaming environment between China and Japan, in the space of Asia, and even East Asia, only one country in China and Japan can rise, and two countries cannot respect each other. This was true in the old plane, and it is still true in this era.

In the old time and space, Japan was one step ahead of the Qing court at that time through the Meiji Restoration, and defeated the Qing court in the Sino-Japanese War, thus stepping on the shoulders of the Qing court to enter the ranks of the great powers, while China sank, once struggling on the verge of national destruction, even after the founding of the country, it has been wandering in poverty and backwardness; although Japan was defeated in World War II and lost its political independence, it rose economically due to various opportunities soon after the war, although it was low in front of the Americans, but it could still maintain its image of superiority in front of the Chinese。 It was not until after the new century that China slowly began to revive and re-emerge, while Japan finally weakened due to the famous "lost twenty years", but after all, it was also prosperous for a hundred years.

However, in this era, because Japan lost the Far East War, not only spit out all the dividends obtained from the First Sino-Japanese War, but also lost all the money with interest, and also owed a fart * stock debt, but the East China government won a lot of benefits by virtue of the victory in this war, not only pulled Japan off the horse, but also stepped on Japan's shoulders, kicked into the house, and became one of the new members of the club of great powers, and Japan may lose this qualification forever.

Thinking of this, Miyamoto Naoto also sighed, only to find out that time travel novels are all deceptive, and it is too difficult to work hard in an era only by relying on individual strength, even if it is a time traveler, or the power of a group is stronger. So what's next for Japan......

Just when Miyamoto Naoto was thinking, he only heard a noisy sound faintly behind him, Miyamoto Naoto was slightly stunned, and when he looked back, he saw that at the end of the long street, in the direction of Ito Hirobumi's mansion, under the dim street lights, a group of people poured out of the darkness, and it seemed that there were still a lot of flags or stick-like things, jagged, noisy, and still shouting something! And Miyamoto Naoto listened carefully, and finally heard a few words clearly: "Respect the emperor to seek adultery", "Seven lives to serve the country", "Heavenly punishment of the country thief".

Miyamoto Naoto couldn't help but change his face greatly, such a thing could happen.
