Tokyo

In the palace, the crown prince was staring at everyone angrily, obviously he was in a very bad mood right now.

The Dutch went to the League of Nations to complain, but the Tokyo government did not know exactly what had happened, and it was not even certain whether it was the Indonesian uprising they planned!

There's nothing strange about this, it's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, but this time it's a little bigger.

Since 1921, the Japanese government's control over the army has dropped by more than one notch, and every year the military has to bring down a cabinet, and it is really difficult to say who controls whom!

That is, the Japanese are nervous enough, and in just five years, dozens of coups have broken out, of which four have been successful, four cabinets have been changed, and the rest have been suppressed.

The frequency of government changes is second only to France. However, the French were driven down by Congress, while the Japanese were done by the army.

Three prime ministers have died in five years (including those who have stepped down), and the Japanese prime minister has also become a high-risk profession, and those who are from civilian officials really can't roar!

Is it okay to be born in the army? The answer is no!

The War Department does not have full control over the Army, and the Admiralty does not have full control over the Navy, and this is the current situation in Japan.

In the army, there are still a large number of subordinate intelligence organizations, many of which are secretive to the government, and even a few officers have established an intelligence organization as soon as their minds are hot.

Let's put it this way, the army has an intelligence organization of the army, the Kwantung Army has an intelligence organization related to the Eastern Army, the North Korean army also has an intelligence organization of the North Korean army, and even embassies and merchant groups have their own intelligence organizations.

Even if there is an intelligence organization, it can only show that the Japanese attach importance to intelligence work.

Unfortunately, the reality is not like that, the Japanese government's intelligence work is actually very bad, these intelligence organizations usually do not have a fixed scope of activities, if one day it is discovered that the intelligence organization under the Japanese army stationed in Korea has gone to Nanyang to do things, do not be surprised that this is a normal situation.

The reason is only known to them, and in general, it is a "mess" word!

It's okay in Europe and the United States, because the appearance difference is too great, it is difficult to penetrate into it, and in Southeast Asia and the Far East, how many intelligence organizations and how many intelligence personnel there are in Japan have always been a mystery!

Now that the Indonesian uprising has broken out, the Dutch accuse the Japanese government of doing something, but the Japanese cabinet is not clear whether they did it or not.

So far, no intelligence organization has come out to declare responsibility for this, but Japanese intelligence organizations have always had the habit of doing good deeds without leaving their names, which does not mean anything!

When you are external, you can pretend to be stupid and not admit it, and when you close the door, you can't even figure yourself out, right?

It doesn't matter who did it, at least to make sure that the evidence in the hands of the Dutch is true, right?

Once it is confirmed that it has something to do with the Japanese government, the Japanese government, which has been excluded, will become even more isolated in the international community, and no country wants to see their tentacles penetrate deep into the South Seas!

"Prime Minister, how long will it take for you to be sure that Indonesia has anything to do with us?" Shiren asked with concern

"Your Highness, we have already determined that this matter has nothing to do with the government and the merchant group, but I don't know if the navy and the army are involved!" Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki replied calmly

Apparently for this crown prince, he is not so cold. Only when you are far away is God, and when you are close, God becomes a human, especially after the appearance of the mental illness of Emperor Taisho, the majesty of the imperial family has been swept away.

If it weren't for the need for an imperial family to gather the centripetal force of the Japanese, the Japanese emperor would not have lived so freely, not to mention that a prince could point at their nose and scold.

But the politicians are thick-skinned enough, just scold, anyway, they are all scolded all the way, and it is also an honor to be scolded by the future emperor.

"Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with our army, what are we going to Nanyang for? There's no way we're going to swim over, the Navy must have done it! War Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka said angrily

"Nonsense, it's clear that your army is a ghost, and it is shameless to want to frame our navy!" Navy Minister Yuzaburo Kato said murderously

"What planting? Haven't you been planning to go south all along, and what is happening in Indonesia now has nothing to do with you?

If the Dutch had not complained to the League of Nations, it would not be long before you would have sent troops in the name of protecting the overseas Chinese, and don't tell me that you were not prepared, but I have proof! Yoshiichi Tanaka said defiantly

"Nonsense, even if we are ready to send troops, it is just an operation to protect overseas Chinese! Britain, France, and Bulgaria have stationed a large number of fleets in the Philippine Islands, and our navy is not as stupid as your army, so how can it be possible to do things at this time? Yuzaburo Kato said with a sneer

Compared with history, the current Japanese government is really very peaceful, and it has not done anything for many years.

In particular, after Britain, France, and Bulgaria stationed their fleets in the Philippine Islands, the Japanese Navy has always lived in fear and has not been to the South Seas for a long time.

But now listening to the quarrel between the two military bigwigs, whether the Indonesian uprising was planned by them or not, everyone is really bottomless.

If they had discipline, they wouldn't have been able to climb to their current position, so in the face of the army and navy exposing each other's secrets, everyone directly pretended not to see it.

Take responsibility, they can't come out and take responsibility. Unless the evidence in the hands of the Dutch points directly to them, do not expect them to confess!

Outcome? Of course there is no result!

Since everyone said that they were not involved, it would be better to go to the League of Nations to fight a lawsuit. If it weren't for the fact that Britain, France, and Bulgaria had now placed their fleets in the Philippine Islands, would the Dutch still dare to be so presumptuous?

What if they did? This is the era of imperialism, the law of the jungle is the essence of this world, and since the Kingdom of the Netherlands has fallen, it is time to hand over the colonies in their hands!

This is what the Japanese government thinks, and apparently they don't know yet that there is a word called chain reaction!

Of course, it was impossible for the British and French to get along with the Dutch for the sake of their interests. But once it affects the interests of Britain, France and Bulgaria, it is difficult to say!

Evidence? This era is different from later generations, and it is necessary to make the political evidence public so that everyone can be convinced, as long as a few major countries believe that it is true.

There was no internet and no cameras installed on the streets, so the Dutch quickly found evidence.

Dozens of Japanese spies were arrested by the Dutch colonial government and then secretly sent to the Philippine Islands to be verified by Britain, France and Bulgaria on behalf of the League of Nations!

"You mean, the Dutch have found evidence? This is too fast, is it, are the Japanese really involved? Ferdinand asked in surprise

"Your Majesty, the Dutch have captured thirty-eight Japanese spies and sent them to the Philippine Islands, where they are being interrogated, and five of them have already committed suicide!

According to the Dutch, the Japanese government had intelligence organizations in Southeast Asia with the aim of provoking local indigenous uprisings.

Upon receiving this news, the British delegates looked very bad, and it seemed that they also knew about the activities of the Japanese government in the South Seas! Metyev explained

Ferdinand nodded, he knew that the Dutch were crooked this time, regardless of whether the Indonesian riot had anything to do with the Japanese or not, so many spies were operating in Indonesia, it was difficult to clear their involvement, especially since five of them had committed suicide!

Don't think that it's enough to die, it's all over the place!

As long as the British were convinced that the Japanese government had ambitions for the South Seas, the London government would have to beat them again.

The goal of the Dutch has long been achieved, with the Philippines in the middle, will the Japanese government dare to cross over and attack Indonesia?

Ferdinand can proudly say that if the Japanese Navy dares to pass under the nose of the Bulgarian colonies, he can directly make the Japanese Navy lose its vitality, and as a country that distributes planes to companies, it has this confidence!

Even if there is a war between Britain and Bulgaria one day, the Far Eastern Fleet of the British will be severely damaged, and the Mediterranean Fleet will directly become history!

This is the reason why Ferdinand dared to attack the British, even if it started immediately, Bulgaria could inflict heavy damage on the Royal Navy at the first time!

If one day the British Royal Navy suddenly halves its tonnage, will they be able to maintain their current position?

The only pity is that the shipbuilding industry of the British is too developed, and the shipbuilding industries of the three countries in North Africa can explode twenty or thirty capital ships a year, otherwise Ferdinand probably couldn't help but do it a long time ago!

After all, after so many years of development, the Bulgarian Air Force has grown, and there is no problem taking off from Libya to bomb London.

The entire Mediterranean, half of the Indian Ocean, a third of the Atlantic, most of Europe and all of Africa, these areas are under the coverage of the Bulgarian Air Force.

It can be said that before Ferdinand knew it, he had already completed the strategic layout and had already deployed the bombs to the doorstep of the British, and they didn't know it!

"Well, in that case, let's pretend that we don't know anything, and everything depends on the confession that comes out of the final interrogation!" Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

This is already a blatant hint to the Dutch, you can do it, it doesn't matter if you are tortured, anyway, Bulgaria only needs to look at the confession.

There was no problem with Ferdinand's approach, the first battleships in Bulgaria were built in cooperation with the Dutch, and the relationship between them has always been very good.

It is also very logical to favor the Dutch once without affecting the interests of Bulgaria.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with this, the Dutch have made a promise to us and the British and French, as long as we help them put down the rebellion, our three countries will have the right to trade freely in Indonesia in the future!

Although the British and French representatives did not directly agree, it is estimated that in the next issue, they will be biased in favor of the Dutch! Metev thought for a moment and said

"Well, we won't participate in the matter of the Dutch quelling the rebellion, if the British and French are interested, let them go, it is estimated that the Dutch will not dare to let us send troops.

If we can't send troops, we will get very limited benefits, even if we are free trade, what can we sell?

Grain? They can't eat their own!

Household appliances? How many people can now use electricity in Indonesia?

Car? How many people in Indonesia can afford it? If you buy it, is there a way to go?

Textiles? There are too many competitors and we don't have an advantage.

Petroleum? There are also oil fields in the local area, and it is not our turn to do this business! Ferdinand said

This is also the reason why Bulgaria has not developed its market in Southeast Asia, and the local market is not suitable for Bulgarian industrial products at all!

It can be said that now, in addition to Europe and the United States, Bulgarian products can only be produced and sold by themselves.

Cultivating the market is still a nonsense in this era.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Metyev replied

"It seems that the colonial system is not suitable for our development!" Prime Minister Konstantin suddenly sighed

"It's not that the colonial proposal is not for us, it's that the kind of densely populated colony is not for us!

A sparsely populated, resource-rich colony like that is the best choice for Bulgaria! Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

"Your Majesty, this kind of good place now has a master, and we are still too late to rise, and we have missed the golden age!" Konstantin said helplessly

"It's not too late, we finally caught the last train, and those who haven't gotten on the bus yet are really late!" Ferdinand said with a sigh

It seemed to mean something, but everyone didn't notice it, just thought he was sighing.

As soon as people get older, they love to be sentimental, and with the rise of Bulgaria, all the way to the present, everyone is not young.

Of course, this is relative, for politicians, they are in their sixties, and they are now in their golden age, and the top levels of governments are basically stuck in this age.

The kind of cabinet members in Bulgaria who were twenty or thirty years old at that time were abnormal, and if it weren't for the turmoil, it would not have been possible to have such a young government!

It is precisely because everyone is young and full of idealism that Ferdinand can carry out drastic reforms, if they are all old fritters, it is estimated that they will not take their political lives to risk with Ferdinand!
