Chapter 574: Excited Japanese
The Prime Minister's Office of Japan. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]
Yama Yama laughed wantonly, and Ito Hiroshi was powerful, and the elder Ito personally went out to mediate, and successively met with Tsar Nicholas II, French President A. Colnar, and British Prime Minister Salisbury in Tsarist Russia.
After Itohiro's all-out maneuvering, Salisbury finally overturned the previous deal with the Chinese Tiger, and now the Chinese Tiger Zhang Yi has been so angry that he roared in the presidential palace for several days, and even the British minister was scolded for not coming to Taiwan, almost completely stiffening the diplomatic relations between China and the United Kingdom, but unfortunately, it is almost the best to tremble, if China and Britain directly cut off diplomatic relations, it would be really good, but even so, that is enough for the Japanese to be happy, and even the Meiji Emperor personally came forward to commend Yamachitomo and Ito Hiroshi, which is a major victory for Japanese diplomacy!
If the British Empire really sold these eight warships to the Republic of China, after a few years of development, I am afraid that the Japanese Combined Fleet will no longer have an advantage over China, and may even fall back into disadvantage, as it did in the early eighties.
Now that the British Empire has finally agreed to limit the strong rise of the Chinese Tiger, this is absolutely great news for the Japanese Empire, as long as the British Empire comprehensively suppresses the Chinese Tiger, then the Republic of China will not be able to set off any storms! After all, compared to the British Empire, the sun never sets on the empire, the size of the Republic of China is too small, and now the population of the Republic of China is even less than that of Japan, so what's so terrible?
Moreover, Ito Hiroshi has already fully communicated and exchanged views with Salisbury on the issue of warships, hoping to purchase these eight advanced warships at a relatively favorable price within five years, and once the eight warships are added, the combined fleet of the Japanese Empire will be invincible in Asia!
As for the funding, there is no problem, and now in order to curb the development of the Republic of China, Tsarist Russia has even directly agreed to Japan's willingness to provide Japan with a long-term interest-free loan totaling 80 million pounds, and the only condition is that when Tsarist Russia and China start a war with the Chinese Tiger, Japan must unconditionally launch an attack on Mukden at the same time to establish a military alliance!
Suffering from economic difficulties and insufficient military spending, Japan was naturally overjoyed, and second, if it did not directly establish an alliance with Tsarist Russia, it was thought that regardless of whether the three eastern provinces belonged to Tsarist Russia or Japan in the future, as long as they did not belong to China, then Tsarist Russia and Japan would wrestle with each other, and the Chinese would be qualified to join it.
Yamatomo was very satisfied with Itohiro's five-month visit to Europe, and Ito Hiroshi was worthy of being a veteran of Japanese politics, and he was really shrewd and shrewd, and he immediately grasped Tsarist Russia's hatred of China and Britain's desire not to want China to develop and grow, and hit the two countries directly at the key points of the two countries, so that the two countries had to vigorously support Japan's military development.
Now that Lijian Shang has been recalled to the country by Shan Shan Peng, Shan Shan Peng knows that if the Japanese Army does not carry out in-depth reforms, it will be thrown farther and farther away by the elite of the Chinese Tiger Army, and now it has begun to make a huge gap first. Kayama's qualifications are not good, and he is also not good, but he can take on such a heavy responsibility, and Yamaguchi personally communicated with Emperor Meiji about this matter, and recommended him to serve as the chief of the Japanese War Department, but the Meiji Emperor still had a trace of doubts about the Japanese War Department after all, and only promoted Lijian to the vice minister of the War Department, and the chief still let Oyama Iwa serve as a containment and not a direct line.
Yamatomo was also deeply helpless about this, so he had to agree to Emperor Meiji's decision.
If it is good for Dashan Yan to know that his ability limit is not as good as that of Lijian Shang, when Lijian Shang was in power, to a large extent, Dashan Yan directly promoted Lijian Shang from brigade commander to division commander, chief of staff of the First Army, and then commander of the First Army, commanding the Japanese garrison of Korea, at most time, commanding more than one-third of the Japanese army, the elite of the army, and Dashan Yan can support the development of Lijian Shang.
It's a pity that now Tachimi is also old, and Tachimi is the same age as Hiroshi Ito, who was already a famous Japanese player thirty years ago, and after thirty years, he is over sixty years old, and his energy is no longer what he used to be. In North Korea, he has been overworked in the past few years, especially in the battle with Xu Huaijin, so tired that he vomited blood one after another, and his body collapsed all of a sudden.
Lao Mai Lijian still tried his best to support it, and transferred Kuroki Weizhen back to China directly to assist him in reforming the Japanese military, which is another difficult bone to gnaw!
Tachimi Shang was naturally grateful to Oyama Iwa and Yama Shan Tomo, and said that he would do his best to reform the Japanese military system, and at the same time send international students to study military affairs in Britain and France, and Tachimi Shang worked hard to revive the Japanese Army, and put all his thoughts on these things.
At the same time, Shanxian also used all the government's strength to support domestic commercial development, provided exemptions and exemptions for all exported materials, provided low-interest loans to several pillar consortia, encouraged them to acquire overseas enterprises and technologies, and accelerated the revitalization of the economy.
Japan's Mitsui and other major chaebols began to purchase frenziedly from European and American powers, hoping to digest themselves by introducing advanced technology, and then began to start commercial competition with the powers.
The quality of education of the Japanese people already has a certain foundation, and the introduction of new technologies and equipment has not been adapted to the locality, on the contrary, in the shortest possible time, the huge potential of the Japanese people has burst out, making the competition strength of these zaebol markets further enhanced.
Japan's successive measures have changed the domestic situation and begun to emerge from the depression. When Japan's domestic economy gradually recovered, they had the idea of foreign aggression. The best target is the three eastern provinces, but now the three eastern provinces are absolutely unable to gnaw hard bones: South China? South China is in the interests of the great powers, and the invasion of South China is simply unrealistic unless the great powers nod their heads, and now the Japanese leadership is also in a dilemma. For this, as far away as the United Kingdom, Ito Hiroshi gave the answer, strive to develop, consolidate the military strength, and wait for the opportunity! Only when there is civil strife in China again will Japan have a chance to fish in troubled waters!
