And then, before the Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office in Germany made the news public, the Japanese army forces first attacked in Japan! And after 300 rounds of the naval battle, the result of the approval of Richter by the German prosecutor's office in Berlin came out again! Since then, the Japanese Army has won its first victory in this naval campaign!

What the? Why not a big win, you ask? Nonsense! This thing has just begun, and it's not over yet, at most it's a good start, how can it be said that it's over?! Is the Navy so easy to deal with? Can it be done in a single event? The Japanese Navy is more powerful than all the enemies that the Japanese Army has encountered!

So, Yama Prefecture Youpeng personally summoned the Japanese Army Chief of Staff Hasegawa Yoshimichi, the Japanese Army General Okubo Gong, and the Japanese spy king Akashi Motojiro in his villa, and some aristocratic parliamentarians and political party leaders to prepare to topple the cabinet! In the end, it was decided to divide the army into two routes, one of which was led by Saburo Nagashimada, chairman of the Comrade Association, to raise questions about the Navy's budget in the House of Representatives Budget Committee. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The other way is to mobilize public opinion, ready to use popular pressure to force the Navy to make concessions.

In fact, if there was no second step, the Japanese Army would not be able to do much. When questioned, Japanese Admiral Gonbei Yamamoto and Saito Kaixiang completely denied and shirked to protect the navy. And then it was even rumored that a certain driver of the head of the shipbuilding department of the Japanese Navy, Kogoro Fujii, sent boxes of banknotes to Gonbei Yamamoto! And at this point, Yamamoto Gonbei, who was already recognized as having the most private wealth in the navy, had no choice, the so-called horses don't eat night grass and don't get fat, and people don't get rich without foreign wealth! If you're okay, where did your private wealth come from?! And if the direction of the argument develops to this point, then even if Yamamoto Gonbei has no problem, he can find out some problems!

As a result, under the continuous fermentation of this matter, after some investigation, a lot of corruption cases within the Japanese Navy have been exposed, and several people involved in the Siemens incident naturally cannot escape, including Fujii Kogoro, director of the Navy's shipbuilding department, Zeqi Kuanmeng Osa, Suzuki Tuesday Shipbuilding Supervisor and others are sure to be arrested, and as the investigation deepens, this guy revealed that he had ordered King Kong from Vickers Shipyard 9 times, and took a total of 330,000 yen in bribes. And it was this bribe that led to the Armstrong shipyard out of .......

Of course, what is even more unexpected is that Kogoro Fujii, who came out, was finally sentenced to only 1 year in prison in the naval military tribunal....... Another accomplice who helped to sign for the receipt was sentenced to three years ....... (This dude is really hard backstage.) ）

As for the political struggle in the back, Akashi Genjiro doesn't participate much, after all, these are places for bigwigs to play, and if you don't hang a general's brand, no one will pay attention to you! However, from this perspective and level, the level of Genjiro Akashi can be seen. (Note: The basic facts of the Siemens incident are that Akashi is said to have been involved in the incident, but the specific content is unclear, and this content is apocryphal, but the bribery and handling of the Japanese Navy at that time are completely based on historical sources.) Of course, the time is a lot earlier. ）

The Japanese Army defeated the Qing Beiyang, defeated the Americans, and defeated the Russians, and it is not too much to say that the results were brilliant, but it was a great feeling to knock the Navy to the ground so heartily for the first time, and then step on two feet so hard! For the Japanese Army, the enemy "at the Admiralty" is simply more terrible than any opponent, even the German Army, which has just defeated the Japanese Army! One of the reasons for this is that the navy is competing for the budget and is limiting the development ...... of the army from the "roots."

And the most important reason is the control of the basic national policy! This thing sounds complicated, but to put it bluntly, is the direction of expansion according to the "southward expansion" that the Navy says? Or is it "going north" according to the army's words?

As the name suggests, "southward expansion" is naturally developing in the direction of Southeast Asia, and the Japanese navy's struggle for the Philippines is an obvious "southward expansion" strategy, when Japan chose to "advance south" was also carefully considered, after the end of the Qing-Japanese War, Japan did not get enough benefits, and Russia and the Qing Kingdom could not move for the time being, so Japan in a state of hunger and thirst could only choose other soft persimmons. And because I don't know the strategy of the Americans, I clashed with the United States in the Philippines, but although the process was a little tortuous, it was a remarkable achievement! The Philippines contributes nearly one-third of Japan's financial input.

The subsequent Russo-Japanese War can be understood as having the factor of "advancing northward", but the effect is not good, although Japan completely gained Korea, but in the northeast region, Russia's power has not been eliminated, and this also means that Japan's benefits are very limited, so that the Japanese top brass has a feeling that "northward advance" is not as good as "southward advance", which is a very bad situation for the Japanese army.

Recently, in particular, a tacit agreement was reached between the Japanese government and the British to allow Japan to plant the Japanese flag in some of the Dutch East Indies colonies, which undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Japanese navy! The haze caused by the "Siemens incident" has been swept away! Although it is only known to the top now, once this matter becomes a reality, then the prestige of the Navy will inevitably reach its peak! More than half of the Dutch East Indies will become Japanese territory, adding more than 800,000 square kilometers of territory and a larger sea area!

At that time, driven by fanatical public opinion, not to mention embezzling hundreds of thousands of yen, it is estimated that it will be possible to turn the army into a marine! People will ask, what's the use of having an army? In the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese Army spent more than 5 times as much as the Navy! The result? Japan didn't gain anything after the Russo-Japanese War! Look at the navy again, first the Philippines, then the Dutch East Indies, how efficient is this!

Now it's hard for the army, it's really hard, the navy is terrible, and the Japanese army is gradually trampled under its feet in one confrontation after another. Now, if the Army wants to break the deadlock, it must come up with a strategic plan that can compete with the "southward advance", that is, the "northward advance". But where to go? It is impossible to move the Northeast! On this issue, even as allies of the Entente, Britain and France were absolutely intolerable. And the investment is too great. Move the Russians? That's Japan's current ally, which seems even more improbable!

"Who says it's impossible? The Russians are allies now, but what about Russia after the collapse? That is the allies, and the countries that have risen from the ruins of Tsarist Russia will naturally have to solve their domestic problems first, and will no longer fight against the Allies together with Britain and France. And at this time, this is our opportunity to go north! When meeting Yamaguchi Youpeng, Akashi Motojiro said.
