In Kasumigaseki, Daida Ward, Tokyo, a Western-style building built more than 20 years ago is the brain of the Navy, and the office of the Ministry of the Navy. The Navy has set up a Military Affairs Bureau, an Ordnance Bureau, a Quartermaster Bureau, a Personnel Bureau, an Education Bureau, a Mobilization Bureau, and other institutions in the navy, which are responsible for all matters of the navy.

This is the first time that someone in the navy has become prime minister, and the entire navy feels extremely honored, and the navy has become prime minister, and the issue of military spending will be much easier in the future.

The director of the Legal Affairs Bureau is the admiral of the Admiral Baron Dewa Shigeen.,As a "thief domain" who opposed the emperor's support for the shogunate, he participated in the White Tigers attack the emperor's army at the age of thirteen, and it is a miracle to be able to mix the status of a general, and almost all of the senior generals of the navy were born in the Satsuma Domain, and it is even more difficult for those born in other places to be promoted, not to mention that he was born in the thief domain. However, he was promoted by virtue of his real merits, and no one can do anything if he is not convinced.

As a graduate of the fifth phase of the Naval Guard's Liao, he participated in the war as the chief of staff of the West Sea Fleet during the First Sino-Japanese War. At the time of the surrender of the Beiyang Fleet on Liugong Island, he was the chief of staff of the Combined Fleet. After the war, he was promoted to deputy chief of the military command department, and led the commander of the third team of the First Fleet during the Russo-Russian War. Commanded four cruisers of the second rank, "Chitose", "Takasago", "Kasaki" and "Yoshino" entered the battle. During the entire Russo-Russian War, Vice Admiral Dewa Shigeyuan was almost the hardest working of the entire combined fleet, and when he besieged the Russian Far East Fleet at Arthur Pass, he worked almost every day, and the Battle of the Yellow Sea was also at the front. After the destruction of the Far East Fleet, others were resting, and this man went to the South Seas to inquire about the Russian Baltic Fleet, and it was not until he received reliable information about the Russian fleet in Singapore that he returned to Sasebo in early April, and patrolled the road where the Russian fleet was scheduled to appear before the Battle of Tsushima.

The general of Izumi Chongyuan, the hardships along the way are not something others can imagine, the star gold flower on the epaulette is bitten open, and there are blood and tears inside!

The fifty-nine-year-old general is enjoying his last happy hour in his office with a Luzon cigar cigarette in his mouth, sipping coffee imported from Jamaica, and he will be of retirement age in a few years. Like many of his senior officers, Dewa had a French-style beard that was exquisitely trimmed.

He threw his shiny leather boots onto his desk and tried his best to raise his legs, but he still felt his legs swell, which made him sigh a little, because he had been suffering from years of blowing sea breezes, and he had trouble sleeping every night.

"General, Victor, the manager of the Tokyo branch of the German Siemens company? Hermann at the German embassy staff Alexander? Hill came to the Legal Affairs Bureau and said that they had lost something, and someone extorted 500,000 yuan from them. A young officer took the report materials, saluted, and handed them to Dewa Shigeyuan's desk.

Dewa Shigeyuan put his legs down from the table and smiled contemptuously: "Yaga, what should you do with the police and the navy to report the crime?" ”

The young officer said: "The people from Siemens said that some things may not be contained, and they have already been reported in Germany and Britain a week ago, and there are several high-ranking officials of the Navy Ministry, so say hello to us in advance." ”

Izuha Shigeyuan suddenly shook his head and immediately stood up: "Take it to me!" ”

After reading the report materials, Izuwa Chongyuan scolded with a hideous face: "Yaga, it's really embarrassing!" With that, he immediately said, "Take me to the Germans!" ”

The matter was even more serious than Dewa Shigeyuan had imagined, and among the documents lost by Siemens' Tokyo branch was a telegram in which the head office agreed to give a 25 percent kickback to Rear Admiral Tatsuto Iwasaki, the former head of the First Department of the Naval Administration's Headquarters in charge of weapons procurement.

All the Germans did was to furnish the cruiser Kongo, which they had ordered in Britain, and the British, who were doing the work, also gave him money, and gave him even more, and Vice Admiral Matsumoto, the former head of the Ship Administration Headquarters, took 400,000 yuan from the British.

"Quick, give me a call from the Prime Minister! Prepare the carriage, I'm going to the Prime Minister's residence! Izuwa Chongyuan said in a panic with the report materials.

The adjutant hurriedly answered the phone call from Prime Minister Gonbei Yamamoto, and Admiral Izuwa Shigehiro briefly explained the matter, and then got into the carriage and went straight to the prime minister's residence.

"Four hundred thousand? So much! ”

Looking at the cold sweat on his head, Yamamoto Gonbei was taken aback, although he had heard of corruption and bribery in the navy, but he never dreamed that these guys would be so bold. You must know that Yawata Steel, the largest steel mill in Japan, was built for only 570,000 yuan, and 1,000 yuan is enough to buy a mansion in Tokyo!

"Who's else involved in this?"

"A lot of people, Lieutenant General Matsumoto, Sawazaki Kanto, and the mediator is Major General Fujii Kogoro??? And ???" Izuwa Shigeyuan suddenly closed his mouth and began to speak.

"Who else? Say it all! Yamamoto Gonbei's hair stood on end, and he roared angrily.

"There is also Saito Minoru, the prime minister of the sea, he took 100,000 yuan!" Dewa Heavy Far Away trembling road.

"Yaga, and him?" Yamamoto Gonbei's hands and feet were cold, and he stood speechless.

This matter is even implicated in the current Minister of the Navy, but Saito Minoru is the Minister of the Navy named by Gonbei Yamamoto??? Yamamoto Gonbei wanted to cry without tears at this time.

"Prime Minister, please resolve this matter immediately and not let it spread!"

"What can I do? These damned moths, the Navy and the Empire are going to be destroyed in their hands! Yamamoto swirled around the office like a caged beast, his expression gradually changing from rage to gloom, and finally crying like a child.

The United States built the Great White Fleet at a speed like blowing up a balloon, and when this fleet, which violated the habits of the Navy and was painted pure white, appeared in the port of Yueben, the Navy suddenly exclaimed that the end was coming. The navies of the United States and the United States have long regarded each other as imaginary enemies, and the United Fleet originally had an advantage in tonnage, but what kind of national strength is the United States? As soon as the president gave the order, the Congress casually approved it as little as a small amount of money, and then a large white fleet that shocked the world began its round-the-world visit with five people and six people.

Not to mention the book, even the British Empire was frightened, but out of the traditional arrogance of the British, they only understated how many large warships the United States had??? However, without the British Empire's colonies providing them with coal and supplies, the Great White Fleet would have been confined to Hawaii and would not have been able to enter the Atlantic.

Britain can turn a blind eye, how dare Ben? Under the instruction of Gonbei Yamamoto, the Navy came up with the 88th Fleet Plan, preparing to build a main fleet of eight battleships and eight cruisers to counter the aggressive United States.

This plan, which would cost more than 1 billion yuan, was widely opposed by the government and the opposition. After Gonbei Yamamoto became prime minister, this plan had a few more likely surnames to be approved, but this "Siemens incident" was like a slap in the face, and Gonbei Yamamoto was dizzy.

"Prime Minister, you need to come up with a countermeasure!" When Dewa Shigeyuan saw the appearance of the prime minister, he felt a little unbearable.

Yamamoto Gonbei shook his head bitterly and said: "There is no way, I believe that at this moment, Yamayama Prefecture Elder Tomo and Katsura Taro and others should already know, they will not let go of this good opportunity!" ”

"Prime Minister, maybe they don't know yet?" Admiral Dewa Shigehiro held on to the last bit of luck.

Yamamoto Gonbei said with a wry smile: "Three days ago, Marquis Akashi Motojiro, the commander of the North Korean military police, had already set off from Seoul, and it is estimated that he will arrive in Tokyo soon??? I didn't know the purpose of his reply, but now it's clear! ”

Dewa Shigeyuan said in horror: "One person is better than Akashi Genjiro of ten elite divisions? Is there a friend veteran in Shan County who transferred him to deal with our navy? It's so vicious! ”

??? Dividing line ???

The official residence of Yama County Youpeng is full of laughter, Yama County Somepeng has put on the generalissimo's military uniform for the first time, and the Chrysanthemum Grand Medal is also worn on his chest, and the only one who can make him wear it so solemnly is the Marquis Akashi Motojiro, the army general of the Korean Governor.

Without Togo Heihachiro, the combined fleet can still defeat the Russian fleet, without Nogi Noshinori, the army can still occupy Lushun, without Akashi Genjiro, the book will be defeated, and Akashi Genjiro alone can reach ten elite divisions???? This is what Hirofumi Ito said about him, and everyone knows it in Yumoto.

In 1904, he was so mad by Russia's aggressive momentum that even Ito felt that there was no other way than to risk a war. He said that the Russo-Russian War had just broken out, and that there was no certainty of victory in the country at all, just because the situation at that time did not allow for war. Kodama sent a telegram to Akashi Genjiro, openly stating that imperial diplomacy was difficult and difficult, and now it was up to the nobles to break through.

It is said that everyone from top to bottom pinned their hopes on Akashi Motojiro to make achievements in intelligence work.

This is certainly not accidental, since before the war, Genjiro Akashi wrote a report on the situation in Russia, in which he discussed in detail the [***] of the Russian royal family, the history of the Russian national revolt, and the peculiar surnames of the Russian agricultural system, and concluded that if the war began, Russia would be defeated.

Facts have proved that Akashi Genjiro was right, and he did defeat Russia, a giant in Europe, and created a precedent for the victory of the yellow race over the white race in modern times, which made the German Emperor Wilhelm II cry out in horror that "the yellow peril is coming".

A friend in Yama County personally poured wine for Akashi Genjiro with a smile, and said with emotion: "Akashi-kun, you have lost a lot of weight, and you have worked hard enough in North Korea, right?" ”

Akashi Motojiro shook his glass lightly and watched as the sunlight came in through the window, scattering the golden-red liquor into a red glow.

"Thanks to the love of the patriarch, my body is still holding on."

Youpeng in Shanxian laughed and said: "Don't be reckless, go back to China, how about being a deputy director in the army province or the general staff headquarters?" North Korea is too bitter???? Akashi-kun, you're familiar with my military boots, right? It still retains the smell of your body to this day! ”

Akashi Genjiro looked down and saw that Yama Prefecture Youtomo was wearing a pair of worn-out boots, and he seemed to have some impressions, but he couldn't remember when he had seen them.

Shan County Youpeng laughed and said, "Have you forgotten? After our war with Russia, you peed on my boots when you went to see me at the base camp??? It's these boots, and I've always kept them, and every time I see them, it's like seeing Akashi-kun! ”

Thinking about it this time, Genjiro Akashi laughed and said, "What, the patriarch still wants me to pee again?" After saying that, he really unbuttoned his trouser belt, took out the little bird and a soak of urine in the restaurant of Youpeng in Shan County.

The maid and the servant were dumbfounded, they never dreamed that someone would dare to pee in front of Youpeng in Shan County, and urinate in his restaurant.

Youpeng in Yama County didn't feel angry at all, patted Akashi Genjiro on the shoulder and said: "It's still the same Akashi-kun back then, it's really a hero's true colors!" ”

Akiyama Shinyuki of the Navy and Akashi Genjiro of the Army are the two most famous geniuses in the military world, and they are both weirdos, Akiyama Shinyuki speaks Shinto, and almost never bathes, his cabin smells worse than the weasel's den, and people who have no nose can get in and immediately catch a cold without medicine. Akashi Genjiro is even more perverted, not only is it unkempt, but he also defecates in the open. After the Russian War, once he went to the base camp to see a friend in Jinshan County, and he wanted to pee while talking, but he couldn't hold it back, so he just sat there and sprinkled! I have been wetting the military boots of the marshal of the county marshal. Later, someone asked him why he didn't go to the toilet. Genjiro Akashi's answer was, "That's not too annoying."

Only the minds of Ito Hirobumi and Aritomo Yamaguchi during the Meiji Restoration can accommodate geniuses like Akiyama Mayuki and Akashi Genjiro, if anyone in the Qing Dynasty urinated on Li Hongzhang in the Zhili Governor's Palace, he would not be beheaded on the spot, and he would have to be thrown into the Haihe River by his own soldiers to feed Wang Ba??? If the official uniform is not neatly dressed, it is considered a loss of manners, and the dismissal of officials is light, let alone peeing in front of the boss!

The First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the victory over the Qing Dynasty and Russia were absolutely no accident.

Yama Prefecture Aritomo can tolerate Akashi Genjiro's uninhibited uninhibitedness, but he can't tolerate Yamamoto Gonbei's betrayal??? One is a question of surname, and the other is a matter of principle.

Akashi Genjiro listened to him talk about the past, and the corners of his mouth picked out an unfathomable and profound smile, but he didn't speak, just took a sip of red wine.

There was a faint sound outside, and as he got closer enough to hear the roar of the marching crowd, Genjiro Akashi stood up and walked to the window, looking at a long line of thousands of people, who were emitting deafening angry shouts and slogans.

"Yamamoto cabinet general resignation!"

"A corrupt navy is not worthy of being prime minister!"

"The Navy is a corrupt criminal!"

There was a roar outside, and Akashi Genjiro turned around and smiled, "Elder, this sound is more beautiful than any music. ”

Youpeng in Shanxian also laughed out loud, laughed and said viciously: "The person who betrayed me will not end well??? Akashi-kun, what a powerful means! ”
