"How do you use it when fighting at sea? Send all the planes to the islands near the battlefield? The British aren't that stupid, right? Besides, they also have airplanes, even if the performance is not as good as yours, but it will not let you succeed easily. Yuan asked suspiciously.

"I know, I didn't want to fight the British in the South Sea, my preset battlefield is in the Indian Ocean, as long as the main force of the British Navy leaves the Suez Canal and leaves the Red Sea, the Grand Fleet can attack. When the time comes, as long as there are enough aircraft carriers, it will be enough. Gao Yang said with a smile.

"You only have one aircraft carrier now, and you can't take many planes with you. If you buy an advanced aircraft from modern time and space, just like a warship, can you buy it, maintenance, pilot training, secrecy matters, and consume energy points with the words of biochemical fighters, what are you going to do? Origin asked.

"You stupid, the Japanese have two aircraft carriers that are about to be built! It's not just the Swordfish, it's all about loading 97 ship attacks, 99 ship explosions, and zero battles! At least two hundred small ones can be fitted, which is enough to deal with the British fleet. Gao Yang squinted his eyes and said with a grin. The expression was as happy as that of a fox that had caught a hen.

"Huh?! Are the Japanese crazy? Can they sell it to you? Origin said in surprise.

Gao Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, a light smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "Nothing in this world is impossible. ”

Emperor Hirohito, who was far away in the Akasaka Imperial Palace in Tokyo, was eating breakfast worriedly.

Japan's recent form is very bad! Although the rebellion in the country has been put down, the wounds of the war have not been erased!

Many prosperous cities have been destroyed by the war, and a large number of factories and facilities, streets and houses are now in pieces of rubble, like huge open-air garbage dumps!

Many Japanese nationals who were once wealthy are now shivering in the biting cold wind in tattered clothes. Many of the children who lost their schools are curled up and rummaging through the garbage heaps for whatever they think is useful!

The factories that had been built with great effort and the hope of the whole country were gone, and only the ruins left behind by the burning were left. All the machines bought with the people's rations were burned to piles of scrap metal!

All of Japan lost more than seventy percent of its factories in this short civil war! Because the main areas of exchange of fire are in prosperous areas.

It is impossible to count the casualties at all. Because many villages disappear together! No one knows where those people have gone, whether they are dead, or whether they have hid in the mountains, no one knows what they have done.

The loss of all kinds of materials is even more incalculable. All the munitions stored in various places before the war were depleted! The various military factories were either destroyed by the war or could not continue production because there were not enough raw materials and skilled workers.

If it weren't for the massive support of the British. At the end of the battle, the samurai loyal to Hirohito could only fight with family heirloom swords.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hirohito, who had a gloomy face, threw the soup spoon in his hand to the ground! Looking at the light rice porridge on the plate in front of him, which could reflect his face, Hirohito's face became more and more hideous!

Now that Japan is under military control throughout the country, Japan, which is extremely short of all kinds of daily necessities, has begun to carry out food rationing!

The army received the same supplies as in wartime, while adult men and children received only half of the basic needs. The supply for adult women is halved again on this basis!

And the food rations set by the new cabinet of the old people in Japan do not write how much the old people should get!

And this standard is Tokyo and nearby areas. I don't know how much people in other places can get, but he only knows that there will definitely be no more than Tokyo!

Of course, all this is for ordinary citizens, and the upper class is not restricted. Even Hirohito knew very well in his heart that just last night, the new Admiral Anan Kiyoshi, the new Minister of the Navy, held a lavish dinner in his official residence to receive the British envoy!

Looking at the rice porridge and a few side dishes in front of him, Hirohito felt that there was a raging fire burning in his heart!

"These bastards! Let me set an example for the people and drink porridge every day, but you are wasting the country's precious money and materials. What a bunch of national thieves! Traitor!! The indignant Hirohito slammed the table and roared through gritted teeth.

The attendants on the side were all frightened and prostrate on the ground, and they didn't dare to move! Since becoming emperor, Hirohito's temper has been getting worse and worse! There have already been many chamberlains who have been severely punished!

That's when it happened. The door to the room was pushed open. Empress Liangzi, who had just given birth two days ago, walked in with a pale face.

The angry look on Hirohito's face quickly dissipated, and he hurriedly walked to Empress Ryoko's side. grabbed her hands and said with a concerned face, "Why are you here?" You need to get some rest now! ”

Empress Liangzi smiled slightly, and said softly, "I heard that Your Majesty has lost her appetite. I made some food and came here. After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the waitresses who followed him to bring up the lunch box.

With a soft expression on his face, Hirohito said softly, "Let's have dinner together." That's right. How's Naruko doing? ”

Empress Ryoko smiled and said, "It's good, I'm sleeping." After Her Majesty had eaten, I would go back to take care of her. ”

"Hmm." Hirohito nodded, sat back down at the table that had been cleaned up, and continued to eat.

"Your Majesty, why are you bothered?" Looking at Hirohito, who was a little depressed and depressed, Empress Ryoko asked out loud.

"Alas~~~" Hirohito sighed, put down his chopsticks, and said in a low voice, "Now that the domestic war has just subsided, the people have no food and clothing, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Every day there are reports of how many nationals are freezing to death and starving to death! This makes me worry all the time! ”

"Huh?!" Empress Liangzi stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and said with a look of surprise, "Could this be the case?" ”

"It's all those bastards! I can't spare them! Hirohito clenched his hands into fists and said with anger on his face.

"Your Majesty." Empress Ryoko said loudly, "Haven't all the great powers already provided assistance? Isn't it enough? ”

Hirohito shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Aid is just a meaning!" Tens of millions of people need to be clothed and fed, what is the use of that little aid! ”

Sighing, he continued, "Moreover, it is winter now, if you don't save some, how can you survive until next year's harvest season!" The most hateful thing is the moths! It's all like this, I'm drinking porridge, and they're still spending extravagance and waste! ”

"Your Majesty, what about the previous reserves in the country? Also, can't I buy it from a foreign country? Empress Liangzi frowned slightly and asked worriedly.

"Where are the reserves!" Hirohito's face was ugly, and he reached out and slapped it the table, and the crystal clear rice porridge flew up.

"The war is sweeping the country! When there is no order, the mob has long since looted everything they can rob! Even the machines in the factory were dismantled and sold as scrap metal! What an ignorant bunch of fools! Thinking of those expensive machines being smashed into pieces of iron and sold by a group of ignorant farmers, Hirohito's mood became as cold as the cold wind outside in winter!

"What about buying it from abroad?" After Hirohito had recovered a little, Empress Ryoko asked softly.

Hirohito shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Money can't be used!" In order to pay the reparations, there is also the military expenditure when the rebellion is eliminated, and it also takes money to rebuild the country, and it costs money to buy all kinds of machinery and materials! ”

sighed, and said with some sadness, "In order to solve the urgent need, I have mortgaged everything that the country can mortgage to the powers." The rest of the money can't be touched anyway! Besides, the customs are now in the hands of the British, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Tanada and the British mentioned the matter of importing grain and cloth a few days ago. ”

Saying this, Hirohito's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, his hands were clenched tightly, and the green tendons on the cup appeared!

Gritting his teeth, he said, "The British said that if they imported, the tariffs would be doubled!" These ghosts! They want to get all the money back in this way! What a bunch of shameless vampires! ”

"Alas~~~" Empress Liangzi didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh wordlessly.

Three days later, Gao Yang sent Gao Leng to Japan as a secret envoy. After secret contact with Japan's interim Prime Minister Tetsuyama Nagata, Prime Minister Nagata went to the Imperial Palace to secretly consult with Emperor Hirohito for the whole night.

Early the next morning, Emperor Hirohito convened a meeting of his ministers.

After taking their seats, the new Minister of the Navy, Admiral Anan Kiyoshi, bowed down and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the British envoy, Mr. Wilson, has made a proposal to our country. ”

"Hmm." Hirohito, who was sitting on the top seat, replied noncommittally.

"His Majesty the Emperor, Special Envoy Wilson expressed the hope that our country could hand over to Britain the aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga, which were being renovated. The British were willing to pay 60 million yen for these two battleships! The British said they could deduct seven million pounds from our borrowings. As soon as the security guard finished speaking, there was a commotion in the conference room.

"Now is the time for the Navy to once again set off a major change in technology! The Akagi and Kaga are now completely treasures of the town! Where is the hope of the re-emergence of the Great Japanese Empire! You want to sell them? Traitor!! How many kickbacks did you receive?! Foreign Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka stood up abruptly, and with an indignant expression, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the nose of the security guard Kiyoshi and shouted loudly.

The rest of the ministers present also indignantly accused the security of the cleanup. However, I don't know exactly for what purpose. Maybe it's the envy of the security clearance that can charge huge kickbacks?

Emperor Hirohito sat expressionlessly on the throne, but his hands were clenched together!

Of course, he knows how important the aircraft carrier is! The combined fleet is destroyed at the hands of aircraft carriers! These two aircraft carriers, which are still being rebuilt, are absolutely priceless!

But! But! Now Japan is no longer able to defend them! With the remnants of naval power, it is impossible to compete with the British or Gao Yang! (To be continued......)
