Chapter 1206: Encountering a Dead End
Aside from Xu Huaijin and others, Emperor Meiji at this time had successfully fled to Shikoku Island, and then Yama Prefecture Aritomo led the remnants of the defeated army and retreated here.
The current Meiji Emperor has a haggard face, where is there still the slightest pride of the British lord of a country back then? The surrounding imperial ministers are also depressed, this blow is too big, from the beginning of the founding of Japan, to now, when have you been beaten to the doorstep by others, and when have you been contributed to the capital?
Even when the Mongolian cavalry that rampaged across the Eurasian continent was conquering Japan, they were broken and sunk in the sand and died in the belly of the fish!
Now it's okay, the dignified Japanese Empire has been contributed by the Chinese Revolutionary Army and even the capital, and all the monarchs and ministers are like lost dogs, and they can't even find a place to rest.
Emperor Meiji said to Aritomo Yamakuyama, "Yamagu-kun, how should we deal with it now?" ”
Shan Shan Youpeng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, in fact, the Chinese Revolutionary Army occupies Tokyo Bay, it is not a big deal, they only have three divisions of troops, they can't rule the Great Japanese Empire at all, let's fight the Japanese Empire with a population of tens of millions, even if one person spits at the mouth, it can drown them, the problem now is that we need to gather our troops throughout the country as soon as possible, prepare for a counteroffensive, and at the same time, send a telegram to Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi again, asking him to step up his activities, ask Britain and France to send troops to intervene, and at the worst they must carry out joint mediation!" ”
Emperor Meiji said in frustration: "God doesn't help me, God doesn't help me, just when our empire is thriving and is about to complete the great cause of dominating Asia, we just gave China a Zhang Jianzhi, and he alone has reversed the strategic situation of the entire Asia, which is really providential......
Shan Shan Youpeng smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it is useless to say these things now, now what we have to do is to reduce the losses of the empire as much as possible." Retain the vitality of the rejuvenation of the empire, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, in the next thirty years, which will be stronger or weaker, but it is still uncertain, let alone it. Now we still have the ...... of the Java archipelago."
The crowd on the side also cheered up and encouraged Emperor Meiji, and Emperor Meiji let out a long sigh. replied: "This time, I really understand, I can't listen to the golden and jade words of Lijian Jun, so there is today's fire, Shanxi, if the Chinese Revolutionary Army withdraws from Japan, then the position of the Minister of War of the Empire will be given to Lijian, and Lijian will be recalled to the country, as long as the empire can be revived." Even if he was appointed as prime minister, I admitted it, such a shame, I don't want to taste it a second time! ”
Youpeng in Shanxian was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, this minister of war was not attractive to Youpeng in Shanxian County. He has already been the prime minister for a while, and if he can really push Lijian Shangwen to the throne of the Minister of War, then the revival of the army is just around the corner!
There are friends in Shanxian County who are happy to say: "Your Majesty Shengming, the minister is willing to let Xian!" ”
Emperor Meiji waved his hand and said, "Yamagu, you will have full authority to preside over the rest of the affairs, I am tired ......"
Say this. Emperor Meiji stood up and staggered out......
London, United Kingdom.
At this time, Ito Hirobumi had a feeling of madness, it had only been a few days, and the Chinese Revolutionary Army had taken Tokyo Bay, and even captured the imperial capital Tokyo! That's a symbol of empire, even if it's taken back later. That is also a great shame for the Empire!
However, now Ito Hirobumi doesn't have the energy to think about shame or shame, the important thing is that the current empire is in danger, there is no sudden turn, the country is in danger, and taking himself as the prime minister of the empire will become a real sinner for the ages! The biggest culprit!
Ito Hirobumi couldn't care about anything, so he went straight to Buckingham Palace and asked to see President Balfour urgently.
Balfour still gave Ito Hirobumi more face, and met him as soon as possible.
Hirobumi Ito said urgently: "Mr. Balfour, now that the Chinese Revolutionary Army has invaded our Great Japanese Empire, even Tokyo Bay has been occupied, the capital Tokyo has fallen into the hands of the Chinese, His Majesty the Emperor is now displaced, this is ** naked aggression, Mr. Balfour, as an ally, it is time for you to stand up, and it is time for the British Empire to stand up and uphold justice!" ”
Balfort's face is also gloomy now, very ugly, two days ago Green Khan's telegram, he has seen it, the group of people in the Chinese Revolutionary Army is the real bandits, they really dare to fire at the Imperial Navy, ten troop carriers, there are even hundreds of British soldiers on board, all of them sank to the bottom of the sea, Balfour has long been holding back the fire in his belly, not only the anger of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, but also the anger of Ito Hirobumi, it was his idea, but the Japanese army ran out with all the feathers, As a result, the casualties of nearly 200 imperial soldiers have put the government cabinet under tremendous pressure, and the current military is constantly demanding to declare war on the Republic of China, and the upper and lower parliaments have been tossing hard.
Balfour glared at Ito Hirobumi fiercely and said: "Mr. Ito, you have also seen it, I have been very busy in the past few days, and if it continues like this, my hair will turn gray in a hurry, you must know that the Republic of China is not an insignificant small country, its strength is strong, and it is not possible to start a war in a hurry!" ”
Ito Hirobumi's face turned pale and said: "Mr. Balfour, you must know that we have signed the "Anglo-Japanese Alliance Treaty", and both sides have the obligation to send troops to jointly safeguard the interests of the alliance when their own countries are invaded. How will allies still be able to trust your country's integrity in the future? How will we confront the German-led forces in the future? ”
Balfour's heart was shocked, if it was just a misunderstanding before, it was the British who made a mistake, came forward to mediate, and secretly helped the Japanese army to transport troops, and was beaten by others, and could only knock out the teeth and swallow it in the stomach, and could not take it out to say things, now it is different, Japan, as an ally, has been invaded by the Republic of China, if he does not come forward again, he is afraid that he will speak in the future, and this gang of little brothers will not be so easy to fool.
Playing with what a big guy once said in the future, people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
