c_t; The British Empire closely followed the situation in Southeast Asia. [To see the latest chapters of this book], please visit: reads;.
In Asia, Japan's attention to Southeast Asia has reached the point of neuroticism, and the situation is so grim that it is an existential matter.
It's only been a few days? The Chinese Revolutionary Army first took the most populous island of Java, and then waved its army northward, and then pocketed the island of New Guinea, and now the army is gathered on the island of Su'men', and the port of Seyakat has been lost, and Kuroki Weizhen had to lead the main force of the Japanese army to retreat backwards.
The current Meiji Emperor is about to be 'driven' crazy, and Kuroki Weizhen sent telegrams one after another, asking him to make a decision, otherwise, the remaining 30,000 troops would all have to die in a foreign land.
Resolve?
How can I decide now, the joint operation of the Northern Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet of the Chinese Revolutionary Army has reached Tokyo Bay, and at any time I will think about launching the most fierce offensive on the Japanese mainland, but I am afraid that this time it will be more ferocious than the last time, and last time it only took Honshu Island, and this time it may be the loss of the entire territory of Japan! Whether or not the emperor can continue to do it is still a matter of two words.
Just when Emperor Meiji was about to go crazy with embarrassment, the 'attendant' came over from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ito and Lord Naomi Tatsumi have already arrived, and I ask your Majesty to receive you." ”
Emperor Meiji raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Invite them in!" ”
It didn't take long, and Ito Hirobumi and others had all walked in.
Emperor Meiji waved his hand and said, "Don't think about etiquette, gentlemen, think about how we should get out of our current predicament, if this continues, the destruction of the empire will be inevitable......"
Ito Hirofumi's eyes looked at Tachimi Naofumi, the most important thing at the moment is the military, and in the military, Tachimi Naofumi's opinion is the most important.
Lijian Shangwen sighed and said, "Your Majesty, now we have lost any hope of turning the tables. The only hope is to be able to keep the homeland from being violated, and the Japanese army in Java can smoothly withdraw to the country, as for the rest, it is secondary, and the most important thing is to keep the imperial state, and now the Chinese Revolutionary Army has come to the city, this is the most dangerous! ”
Ito Hirobumi said abruptly: "Don't talk about anything else, I think." The most important thing is how we can withdraw the Imperial Army now, but General Kuroki still has more than 30,000 troops there. If we withdraw to our homeland, it will play a major role in our homeland security, and it will be our 'elite' soldiers in a hundred battles, and their combat power will be strong......"
Emperor Meiji said abruptly: "The Imperial Combined Fleet, now that we can't leave the mainland, how can the army retreat, even if we can successfully get out of Su'mongtala, how can we return to the mainland, this time ......"
Suddenly, Shang Wen smiled. said: "Your Majesty, although our situation is no longer bad, but whether it is Ji Tai Lai, no one can say, this has come to the time when our fate is reversed?" ”
Emperor Meiji and Ito Hirobumi were stunned for a moment and said, "Tachimi-kun, what can you do?" ”
Li Jian Shangwen said in a deep voice: "The only way now is to completely muddy the waters of Southeast Asia. Only when Southeast Asia is completely 'chaotic' will it be possible for us to 'force' the Chinese Revolutionary Army on Tokyo Bay to retreat, and it will be possible to withdraw Kuroki Weizhen's troops safely! ”
"Muddy the waters of Southeast Asia?"
Emperor Meiji asked in a deep voice, "Tachimi-kun, don't go around in circles, tell me in detail, what do you mean?" ”
Immediately Naomi replied, "It's very simple. So far, the Java Islands are still our nominal colony, our sphere of influence, and now China and Japan are 'fighting', and the two large islands of Java and New Guinea are occupied by the Chinese Revolutionary Army, but this does not mean that they have been recognized by the international community, and now we can hand over the entire Java Islands to others. You say, can others still watch the Java Islands being occupied by the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and then we can also use this opportunity as a condition to ask other countries to transport troops for us and send them back to the Japanese mainland! ”
Ito Hirobumi was shocked and asked, "You mean to use the Java Islands to persuade Anglo-American France to help us transport our troops home?" ”
"Yes!"
Lijian Shangwen said: "That's it, the Java archipelago is more than 2 million square kilometers, rich in natural resources, for the great powers, has a huge attraction, we use this as bait, ask Britain, the United States and France, especially Britain and France, to assist us in withdrawing the Japanese army from Java, and at the same time ask them to want the Republic of China to pressure the withdrawal of troops, on these two simple demands, I think they will be happy to see it!" The islands of Sumatra and New Guinea were given to Britain, the southeastern part was given to the United States, and the northern part was given to France, and they were bound to send troops to occupy them! ”
Emperor Meiji had a toothache, not only toothache, but also 'meat', which was the Java Islands, which were more than 2 million square kilometers! It's really reluctant to give it to various countries for nothing!
Emperor Meiji said in a deep voice: "Limi-kun, there is no other way, this is more than two million square kilometers of land!" ”
Lijian Shangwen smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, there is no other way, even if we don't allow it, do you think this Java Islands can still belong to our Great Japanese Empire?" All fell into the hands of the Republic of China, that is one hundred percent, why don't we cheap our allies, and go to cheap China? Only in this way, for the sake of interests, can the Republic of China have a huge conflict of interests with the three countries, and even meet each other in arms, once the war starts, then our homeland can guarantee security! ”
Ito Hirobumi smiled bitterly: "It seems that we have only this, Your Majesty, the fate of the empire is important, as long as we can ensure the continuous prosperity of the country, we have no other way to go......"
Emperor Meiji gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Ito-kun, I'll leave this matter to you to operate......"
A few people were deliberating, and suddenly a violent explosion sounded outside, and the attack of the Chinese Revolutionary Army began!
Emperor Meiji shouted: "Limi-kun, immediately command the imperial warriors to fight, no matter what, we can't let the Chinese Revolutionary Army land in Tokyo Bay, once they are allowed to rush in at this time, we will really be finished!" ”
London.
At this time, Fisher and others were also busy, and the anxious Belfour suddenly received a telegram from Ito Hirobumi at this time, after Balfour read it, laughed, and said to Fisher: "Haha, Fisher, this is really effortless, we are worried about the lack of a hard reason to send troops, the Japanese sent the best reason, haha, the overall situation has been decided, there is no need to argue, with this telegram from Japan, everything is solved!" ”
Fisher asked, "Mr. Prime Minister, what's going on?" ”
Balfour said proudly: "Japan will want its life, and will 'hand' over all the rights and interests of Su'men' and Norman Island to the British Empire, and ask us to send troops to rescue the Japanese troops on Su'-Men' Tala Island and retreat!" ”
