c_t; The news of the launch of the warship of the Republic of China soon reached the ears of the dignitaries of various powerful countries, causing quite a stir in the world, and there were those who applauded, those who were jealous, and those who were resentful, but in any case, the most deeply felt was the group of flea clowns on the isolated island of Dongying!

Tokyo, Japanese military headquarters.

Now Yamayama Aritomo has resigned as prime minister, and Ito Hirobumi continues to take over, and Ichiyama Yama Aritomo's prestige and power in the Japanese military circles is a matter of course, and it is a matter of course to become the Minister of War, and as for Tsumi Naofumi, he has become the most advantageous assistant in Yamaguchi.

The conference room of the military department, Ito Hirobumi, Yamaguchi, Oyama Yan, Tachimi Naofumi and Ito Yuhiro and other pillars of the Japanese military circles, all present, the warships developed and produced by the Republic of China have brought them a considerable shock, more than ten people present have begun to panic, have to sit together, put aside all prejudices and start to discuss countermeasures, a battleship is nothing, but the terrible thing is that the future Republic of China will continue to produce new warships, and the performance will definitely be above this battleship, this is the most deadly!

According to the information collected by the intelligence department, China's oil output has exceeded 800,000 tons last year, and this year it has exceeded 1.5 million tons, and when it comes to next year, the Daqing oilfield will be put into operation, and the total output will exceed 5 or 6 million tons.

How does Japan compare with others, what is special, now the oil that can be produced in Japan is only a fraction of others, without rich resources to support, the future empire will be thrown farther and farther away by China, and then the empire can only rely on people to live on their noses!

Yama Prefecture Youpeng said eagerly: "Your Excellency Ito, among us, you are the most far-sighted, but you can tell me, how do we deal with the huge threat of the Republic of China next?" ”

Hirobumi Ito sighed and began to fall into deep thought, this idea is not easy to take

Seeing that Ito Hirobumi didn't speak, Ito Yuheng was even more anxious, the navy of the Republic of China was strong, and the combined fleet of their navy was the first to bear the brunt of the pressure, compared to Shanxi, he was about to vomit blood!

Ito Yuhiro turned his face, looked at Tachimi Naowen, and said: "Tachimi-kun, when it comes to military affairs, you may be the best general among us, tell me, how do we deal with it?" ”

Everyone's eyes are all focused on Lijian Shangwen, in the previous confrontations with the Republic of China, Lijian Shangwen almost every word must be true, and he has a transcendent influence in the military world and even in front of His Majesty the Emperor!

Seeing that Shangwen saw that everyone was looking at him, he said helplessly: "It's difficult, it's difficult!" Ladies and gentlemen, China has a vast land and a large population, and if it develops according to the normal trend, sooner or later our empire will have to live in their shadow! ”

Shan County snorted coldly: "Lijian-kun, we also know that it is difficult, but you can come up with an effective idea for everyone!" ”

Lijian Shangwen replied: "Now we can only take a risk!" ”

Da Shanyan hurriedly asked, "What kind of adventure to try?" ”

"That is, within two years, we must eat the Java Islands, drive out the Dutch, and occupy Java as a supply for our resources!" In the next two to five years, the Chinese tiger will inevitably launch a war of reunification against South China, and there is no time to take into account the development of the international situation. ”

Youpeng in Shanxian County was taken aback, it turned out that he had heard this suggestion of Lijian Shangwen, but he just talked about it, and he didn't think about it deeply, and today Lijian Shangwen mentioned it again, it seems that he has been prepared.

Ito asked: "Tsumi-kun, in Java, but the territory of the Dutch, we want to occupy Java, then there will be a big war with the Dutch, as a European power, although the Netherlands has declined in recent years, it still has a place among the European powers, and its influence is not small, we take the initiative to provoke a war, but it is easy to cause public anger!" ”

Lijian Shangwen sneered: "Everyone's anger? Don't forget, now that the Dutch are in the midst of the Boer War with the British in South Africa, and the relationship between the two countries has fallen to a freezing point, and the British have made us our most solid allies, I think, if we can come forward and convince the British, it is not impossible

reads;！ Our risk comes from France and Germany, if they intervene, we have the possibility of failure, as long as they do not intervene, we take Java, it will be easy! ”

Everyone nodded one after another, and there was an approving look in Ito Hirofumi's eyes, and Lijian Shangwen's vision was still so vicious, but unfortunately, Lijian Shangwen's age was not young, how many years older than himself, what should I do after this group of people withered in the future?

Ito Hirofumi didn't have time to think deeply, and said slowly: "Well, what Limi-kun said is extremely reasonable, only we can get the support of the British, the Dutch don't have to worry, even the French and the Germans, they will not send troops to attack us for the benefit of others, the European countries are full of contradictions, they will not be together, but how can we convince the British?" ”

Immediately Naowen replied: "Your Excellency, this is simple, first of all, the British are now in a state of anxiety in the Boer War, and they urgently need to have the strength to intervene and fight the power of the Dutch, and we are now in it, it is the right time." Second, now in Asia, the national strength of the Republic of China is developing too fast, which is not in the interests of the British at all, they need to find solid allies in Asia to counterbalance China for them, and we are the best spokesmen of the British in Asia, there is no one! ”

Two reasons, enough!

Ito Hirobumi's eyes lit up and said: "Okay, leave the matter of convincing the British to me, the matter of the war, Yama Prefecture and Ito Yuhiro, you two will preside over it, and listen to the opinions of Tachimi-kun, this may be our last chance, we must take advantage of it!" Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again! ”

Shan County has a friend and said: "Your Excellency Ito, I'm afraid that even if we grab Java, the background is not as good as China, and our pressure is too great!" ”

Hirobumi Ito sneered: "Our pressure? At least we still have the East China Sea as a barrier, and the most pressure is on the Tsarist Russians, who are now facing a military threat in both directions from Germany and the Republic of China, and now Nicholas II is more anxious than us, and huddling together for warmth will be our only common policy in the future! ”

Shan County Youpeng replied: "Tsarist Russia? This time, we retreated halfway, and we have completely offended Nikolai, and it is difficult to think about the alliance again......"

Ito Hirobumi said with a smile: "Who said, there are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests, in Asia, only by relying on us, they can block the threat of the Republic of China, this is our common eternal interests!" ”
