"Your Excellency, it is the message of the German Empire to return its colonies in the Pacific Ocean at once. At the same time, all the troops sent to Southeast Asia will be returned to your country. Otherwise, the Empire's attacks will continue. When the time comes, what kind of consequences will be, your country should know very well! Jacob, the German ambassador to Switzerland, stood proudly in front of Yasuya Uchida, the former ambassador of the island nation to Germany, and announced the conditions of the German Empire.

Yasuya Uchida, on the other hand, had already learned the news of the disastrous defeat of the Combined Fleet. Although this result is difficult for him to accept, it is reasonable. As ambassador to Germany, he knew how powerful the German Navy was. Although the navy of the island country can dominate the Far East, it is just that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings. Once encountering a strong enemy like the German Navy, there is no way to be defeated.

"Your Excellency, is it something that a soldier can do with your navy's brazen attack on our coastal cities and massacre those civilians? Is this something that a civilized power can do? Uchida Yasuya looked sad and indignant.

He was furious at the thought of several island cities being destroyed by the hands of the German fleet, and countless people of the island nation dying under German fire. If he could, Yasuya Uchida would like to kill this guy in front of him and avenge the people of the island country who died. But he knew that if he really did. Then, what awaits the island nation will be an endless war, and the island country will pay an even heavier price for this.

"Your Excellency, you brought it all upon yourself! The German Reich has warned you. What is not yours, do not stretch out your hand. However, your country seems to have turned a deaf ear to the warnings of the Empire. That's why there is such a result! Jacob looked contemptuous. Yasuya Uchida's accusations were not taken seriously at all.

"Aren't you afraid of the criticism of the international community? Although the German Empire is the most powerful country in the world, other countries will never watch the German Empire act recklessly! Yasuya Uchida said.

"Really? Your Excellency, I would like to advise your country not to go against the Empire. Because, if you don't accept the Empire's terms, you'll pay an even bigger price for it! Jacob said nonchalantly.

The rest of the world is not unaware of what the German expeditionary fleet is doing in the island nation. However, so far, no country has come forward to speak for the island nation and blame Germany. On the one hand, it is true that they are afraid of Germany's strength and that they are afraid of setting themselves on fire. On the other hand, in the eyes of mainstream countries, island countries are not a strong country at all. It's not a big deal to die some islanders.

Jacob then left, leaving Uchida cursed incessantly. ，

Yasuya Uchida left the Germans' request to report to the country, and he knew that the country had to make a choice as soon as possible. If it is delayed for a longer period of time, it is possible to cause some more losses. This is not a good thing for the island nation.

After receiving a telegram from Yasuya Uchida, Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato immediately went to report to Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma.

"Your Excellency, the Germans have once again warned us. If we don't return their colonies and withdraw from Southeast Asia, their attacks will continue! Kato Takaaki looked anxious.

"Yaga! Did the Germans still want to attack our coastal cities? In doing so, they are not afraid of the accusations of the international community? Okuma was furious. Germany is a civilized country, how can it do such a thing? Even island countries often cover up when they do such things. But the Germans are doing it righteously, which is too despicable.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now? To agree to the terms of the Germans? Takaaki Kato asked. He wished to accept the Germans' terms. Southeast Asia is important, but so is the empire itself! If the Germans do continue to attack, it is not known how many islanders will die under the guns of the Germans.

Okuma Shigenobu shook his head: "I can't be the master of this matter." The Army will not agree. Let's go, let's go meet the adults of Yama County! ”

This may be the sorrow of the prime minister of the island country! Although they are the top cabinet leaders on the surface, they must seek the consent of the elders on matters related to the fortunes of the country. If the senators do not agree, they cannot implement it, and they can even remove the prime minister if they want to.

Kato nodded understandingly.

The two arrived at the mansion of Aritomo in Yama Prefecture by car, only to find that Lu Xianggang Ichinosuke was also there.

"Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, please take a seat." Yama Youpeng appeared calm, not at all anxious about the current tensions.

"Lord Yamayama! The Germans, through diplomatic channels, warned us once again. They offered to let us return their colonies and at the same time evacuate Southeast Asia. Otherwise, their attacks will continue. All the economic centers of gravity of the island countries are in the coastal zone. Once all those coastal cities were attacked by the German fleet, then our country would be finished. Shigenobu Okuma said.

"Yes, Lord Yamasan. The previous German attack had already destroyed three of our cities and caused tens of thousands of casualties. If the Germans continue to attack, it is not known how many casualties will be caused. Takaaki Kato also said.

Youpeng in Shan County has a little bad looks. The richness of Southeast Asia made him want to stop. If you give up at this time, you will undoubtedly lose all your efforts.

"Yaga! Damn the Germans, they actually threaten us like this. The Empire could not afford to be threatened by them. Southeast Asia, we can't say anything to quit! There, the real rise of the empire is at stake! Okaichi scolded.

The hearts of Shigenobu Okuma and Takaaki Kato couldn't help but begin to sink. They knew very well that Okaichi's words represented the meaning of the army. As the boss of the army, he will definitely respect the opinion of the army.

"Southeast Asia, indeed, is very important to the Empire. It was not easy for the empire to seize this golden opportunity and seize Southeast Asia. It would be a shame to give up because of this. If we can, we will do everything we can to ensure control of Southeast Asia. This will be crucial for the Empire! Shan County Youpeng said. He also doesn't want to give up Southeast Asia.
