Chapter 927: Japan's Crisis
Zhang Yi suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and he didn't know what the reason was. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]。 The update is so fast.
Zhang Yi shook his head suddenly, and said: "Huai Jin, don't say it, keep a firm eye on the situation for me, once the war in Japan starts, even if I am not in the country, you must launch a unified war according to the plan!" In the next few years, we will purge Asia of all enemies that can threaten us! ”
Xu Huaijin 'chest' and chest 'straightened', and said: "Instructor, don't worry, even if you are tired to death, I will definitely ensure the stability of our surroundings before you return to Beijing!" ”
Zhang Yi nodded, turned around suddenly, and walked towards You**!
Zhang Yi led the delegation on a journey to Europe.
Japan, now is a gloomy and bleak, the economic crisis in Europe and the United States, finally blown to Japan, Japan's industries are textile, flour and other light processing industry and shipbuilding, most of them are oriented to the international market of the industrial type, now European and American countries can not sell their own goods, how can they still consume Japanese goods?
Nowadays, there is a mountain of Japanese goods, and a large number of factories are experiencing business difficulties, and Ito Hirobumi is really in a hurry.
Imperial Council.
Emperor Meiji asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what should we do now?" ”
The Minister of Industry and Commerce, Fujisajiro, said: "Your Majesty, now our foreign trade exports are the hardest hit!" We don't have a large colony, and the overseas market is squeezed by cheap European and American products, so we can only digest it ourselves, reduce the tax burden, and encourage the people to consume, only in this way can we reduce our pressure! ”
Ito Hirofumi shook his head and said: "Fujisa-kun, what you said is not realistic, since ten years ago, our country began to call on the people to donate money and materials, and the people now have almost no savings and property, even if we give them tax reductions and exemptions, they still can't afford to buy such a large number of goods!" ”
Fujisajiro said worriedly: "Then what do you say?" Prime Minister, the current economic crisis has given us too little room to maneuver, not only the empire, but other European and American countries are still in a great crisis. ”
Ito Hirobumi said in a deep voice: "Now is not only our crisis, but also our opportunity, now that the European and American countries are too busy to take care of themselves, it is the best time for us to launch the war of Java, the Netherlands can't even solve its own problems, and it will definitely not be able to stop the attack of our imperial warriors, we just want to take advantage of this opportunity to grab the Java Islands in one fell swoop!" With large colonies, we can dump our goods in large quantities, and only by waging war can we pour out the dissatisfaction of the people against the government! ”
Emperor Meiji was shocked, and said slowly: "Ito, how sure are you of launching a war against the megawatt islands, and you also know that our preparations are still very inadequate, our oil, coal, and munitions, there is still a certain difference, and the most important thing is that I don't know, to what extent has the plan to migrate to the Java Islands advanced, and if you rush into the war, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses!" ”
Fujisajiro also said: "Ito-sama, I don't think we can start a war like this, the current domestic economy is in trouble, and it can't support us to fight a protracted war, and once the war reaches a stalemate, it will be the end of our Japanese Empire!" ”
Ito Hirobumi said slowly: "This is a war that has to be fought, and it is our last chance, the last chance to turn over, seize it, we can get through this crisis, if we can't take the Dutch garrison in a short time, then our empire will be really dangerous." ”
Shan Shan Youpeng shouted: "Yes, we have to fight, then fight hard, we must win with one blow, now is the time for the Imperial Navy to earn glory for the Empire!" ”
Ito Yuheni said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although the Netherlands is known as a powerful country, but after many wars in the past hundred years, their navy has been reduced to the second-rate level of Europe, there is no gap between us, and the most important thing is that they currently have less than 20,000 troops in the Java Islands, compared with our army, the difference is very far, as long as we defeat the Dutch fleet in the Java Islands at the first time, and then take advantage of the situation to blockade the nearby waters, the 20,000 Dutch army is simply vulnerable!" ”
Emperor Meiji is still saying that, are you sure?
Everyone fell silent, the Netherlands, the overlord of the seas back then, they had already dominated the world long before Britain dominated the world. Although it has declined now, it still has considerable strength! Not to be underestimated!
Ito Hirobumi on the side said slowly: "Your Majesty, it is our established strategy to seize the Java Islands, before the Chinese Tiger fully agrees with China, we must take the Java Islands, this is the capital we use to protect ourselves, otherwise, how can we resist China's retaliation in the future?" Some time ago, General Immediately saw that General Shangwen had already explained the key to it to you, but now the severity of the economic crisis situation has far exceeded the imagination at that time, and now we have to make another plan! ”
Emperor Meiji set his sights on Naofumi Tachimi, the vice minister of the War Department.
Lijian Shangwen hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, I think Prime Minister Ito's analysis at this time is very reasonable, now is not the time for us to weigh the pros and cons, what we have to do is to fully support the empire to win this war, and now we have begun to make intense deployments on all fronts." In another month, I think, Vaughn can start this war, although the Netherlands claims to be a strong country, but far from the mainland, it is definitely not the opponent of our empire's land and sea army! ”
"A month?"
Hirobumi Ito asked, "Izami-kun, in just one month, you can be fully prepared?" ”
Lijian Shangwen replied slowly: "No problem, now is our best moment, as long as we annihilate the Dutch Army, we can completely gain a foothold in the Java Islands in a short time." ”
Ito asked, "What about the west, are there any hidden dangers in the west?" ”
Lijian Shangwen smiled and said: "I have planted a bomb for the tiger in the west, I hope that it can develop as I expected, as long as the Chinese tiger can be entangled, and when we take the Java Islands, then there will be no more problems." ”
Emperor Meiji suddenly, with a burst of sleeves, said: "Okay, since the military thinks that it is sure to take the Java Islands, then go all out to do it, we have few opportunities, we have to seize these few opportunities, and when the Netherlands recovers from the economic crisis, we want to occupy the Java Islands, but it will be even more difficult!" ”
"Hayi!" say
