When Shigenobu Okuma went to see the emperor with a telegram, the emperor also received a telegram from Zaihito, and the Taisho Emperor, who was in a state of soberness, also knew the severity of the matter, and it would be a shame for him to be in office if the army was defeated by Shina and withdrew from the three eastern provinces.

Even if he pretends to be in bad spirits, there is no way to avoid this kind of serious thing, and Prince Jae-in is his uncle, so it is impossible for him to blame Jae-in.

Emperor Taisho, who was having a headache, heard that it was Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma who had arrived, and it was probably for this reason that he hurriedly asked someone to take him into the palace.

"I've seen Majesty, long live Majesty! Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Get up, I know you're here for the affairs of the three eastern provinces, what do you think?" Emperor Taisho was not polite, and went straight to the point, knowing that the prime minister must have already taken measures when he came to him.

Okuma was also taken aback in confidence, originally thought that he could easily solve the matter while the emperor was in bad spirits, but he didn't expect the emperor to be normal at this time, but he was also very calm on the surface, and he was even seen by Emperor Meiji when he became prime minister for the second time, and he was afraid that there would be some mental problems Taisho.

"Your Majesty, now that China has not only developed greatly in terms of navy, but also has an air force that is more advanced than the Empire, the minister believes that military spending should be increased again to study weapons against the Chinese aircraft and the aircraft belonging to the Empire, and to build the Imperial Air Defense to prevent attacks from the Chinese aircraft!"

"It seems that the military spending has increased several times this year, and if it increases, the imperial finances will not be able to support it, so you have to figure out how to do it yourself. If I'm not mistaken, your proposal was rejected by the Congress a few days ago, and now I guess it's okay, so it's not the case that you're looking for me, right? "Taisho when he's awake isn't so easy to fool.

Okuma Shigenobu had already expected this, "Your Majesty is wise, the minister wants to borrow money from the United States, but the minister can't be the master, and the elders may not agree, so I want Your Majesty to come forward!" ”

Everyone knows that borrowing money from the United States will definitely pay a huge price, but at this time, Fusang's finances are tilted towards military spending three times and twice, coupled with the fact that overseas materials and weapons and ammunition were seized by Huaxia, Fuso was blocked by Huaxia, and most of the foreign trade has been cut off, which has dealt a huge blow to the Fuso economy, which is very dependent on foreign trade. If they continue to increase their military spending, they will cause dissatisfaction, after all, they simply do not have any extra money to spend on increasing military spending.

Emperor Taisho had mental problems, and most of the state affairs were controlled by the elders such as Yamaguchi Aritomo, and the Empress Taisho was deposed by the elders, so the emperor's power was not as good as these elders in a large way, and there were also contradictions between the emperor and the senators.

"You go and contact the United States first, and if the other party's conditions are not too much, I will help you convince the elders!"

Where would Okuma Shigenshin believe this, in case he negotiated with the emperor but was not in good spirits and forgot today's events, he would be embarrassed, "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the national fortune of the empire, the people of China have become stronger, and they have the strength to fight to the death with the empire, if the empire is in such a state of not wanting to forge ahead, the army of the people of China will be able to come to the empire itself, please do your best to persuade the senators." ”

Taisho hesitated, if it was really like what Okuma Shigenobu said, his sin would be great, and if the Shina people landed on the mainland of the empire, they would definitely not let him and his people go.

"You go to the Congress, I will summon the elders immediately, you can do it, I support you!"

Shigenobu Okuma hurriedly retired to the Diet, and when he went out, he had already asked the cabinet to gather the members, and he could start as soon as he arrived.

By the time Okuma Shigenobu arrived in the Diet, the legislators had already learned about the three eastern provinces, and Huaxia's aircraft force had given them a blow to the head, and Okuma Shigenobu's mention was unanimously approved.

Prime Minister Okuma after the passage of the National Assembly rushed to the United States Embassy in Dongjing in person without stopping, which shocked the Ambassador of the United States.

"Dear Ambassador Larry, I need your help, the imperial government has a very serious fiscal deficit for a series of reasons, I hope your country can lend us funds to make up for the gap in military spending!" Prime Minister Okuma was also polite and directly expressed his intentions.

Larry was a little unconvinced, after decades of the Meiji Restoration and the plundering of China and Korea, even if Fuso had a fiscal deficit, it would not be able to support it, and it was also a gap in military spending, which only showed that Fuso's war was in trouble.

Larry feigned surprise and said, "Oh, are your finances really to the point where you need to borrow money from us?" ”

"It's no secret that the empire's army in the three eastern provinces was defeated and retreated after being vilely attacked by the Chinese people, and the supplies and weapons were blown up, and they urgently needed support, so they will borrow money from your country!" Prime Minister Okuma said this not because he was stupid, but because he knew the affairs of the three eastern provinces, and Mi Guo would soon know about it, so it was better to say it now.

"What, you guys lost in the three eastern provinces, how is it possible!"

"Aircraft, China dispatched two aircraft units to bomb the Great Qi Empire in the three eastern provinces to attack our army, each with as many as twenty aircraft, the performance of these aircraft is better than the last time, each plane has several machine guns, constantly shooting at our army, plus the help of the China Army, our army has suffered losses and can only retreat temporarily!"

Larry stood up abruptly and looked at Prime Minister Okuma in shock, he didn't think Okuma would joke about this, "It's incredible that there are so many planes in Huaxia!" How much you borrow, my country's interest is quite a lot! ”

"500 million meters, I hope the interest rate can be lower in your country?"

"500 million, it shouldn't be a problem, but I don't know what the domestic requirements will be, I'll ask first, you wait a few days!"

"Please Your Excellency the Ambassador to inform the country as soon as possible, and the materials we ordered will be delivered quickly!"

"I'll urge the country to do its best!"

“……”

The U.S. government received Leyry's report very quickly, and President Wilson, who saw this, was shocked, and the number of aircraft troops in Huaxia was beyond their expectations, and they had to think twice about the relationship between Mi and Huaxia, should they continue to support Fuso?

In the end, the Diet of the United States wanted to take the opportunity to seek a position in the Pacific Ocean, and put forward a request to buy or lease the Ogasa Islands of Fuso, and the reason given to Fuso was that China was very powerful and terrifying, and in order not to offend China, they might terminate the agreement.

………………

The military victory in the Northeast appeared in the Huaxia Imperial Daily the next day, and Huaxia did not hide the matter of the aircraft unit at all, but reported it truthfully, and the news soon spread throughout the country.

British Prime Minister's Office, Asquith couldn't believe it after receiving the information from Huaxia, the little luck that still existed before was completely broken, and Huaxia's strength had risen to the point of threatening them, and it was a threat alone, not a need for German assistance.

Asquith was very uneasy at this time, because he learned from Huang Cheng that Germany and Huaxia had secretly jointly researched aircraft a long time ago, and now the number of planes in Huaxia is so large, so how many Germany will be stronger than Huaxia, thinking of this, his heart began to numb, it was really terrible!

What is Germany's secret cooperation with Huaxia, he learned a lot from Huang Cheng, and it was when he learned these that he was even more uneasy, as if Germany also possessed the new weapon that appeared in Huaxia.

More importantly, now that Huaxia is able to defeat Fusang, after Fusang's defeat, no one in Asia will be able to contain Huaxia, and if Huaxia joins the Allies, it will be a disaster for their colonies in Asia.

The uneasy Asquith hurriedly negotiated with the president of the developed country, Poincaré, by telegram, and he was very worried about Germany's hidden strength.

Raymond Poincaré, who took office in January 1913 as president and second foreign minister, came to power with the support of militants such as the right-wing forces in the country, because his hometown had become the battlefield of the Franco-Prussian War, and he hated Germany very much, and always advocated war and revenge.

When he heard Asquith say that Germany might have no less than the number of planes in China, and that Germany also had other advanced weapons in China, he was very panicked.

"Bastard, how could Germany have these weapons, could it be that Huaxia had reached a secret agreement with Germany, and then Germany sold the planes to Huaxia? No, you have to contact Huaxia immediately, you must get the drawings of the aircraft, even if you pay a big price, you have to get it! In an instant, Poincaré made up his mind that he had to obtain the drawings of the Huaxia aircraft, and the country could study the aircraft, but it would take too long, and he couldn't wait.

At the same time, Asquith also made the same decision, preparing to personally contact the Chinese prime minister, which is the first time that Britain has had contact at the level of the prime minister since the establishment of China.

"Check, immediately mobilize German intelligence personnel to investigate, why don't the people in the intelligence bureau even have any information about the project of secret cooperation between Germany and Huaxia, and have they used all those funds to mix women?" Asquith first opened fire on the intelligence services, and the head of the intelligence service was demoted.

Asquith did not dare to hide such a strict matter, informed the parliament about it, and at the same time hoped that the Reich would have manpower, material and financial resources to support the study of aircraft and air defense, they were too close to Germany and had to pay attention to air defense.

Asquith's mention was soon cleared, and the parliamentarians were also very afraid that German planes would fly over Britain's head to bomb them, and if Germany really possessed these weapons, it would be a greater threat to Britain's interests, and they had to be on guard.

Soon after, Britain and the two countries issued a statement saying that the cargo ship seized by Xia violated the constitution of the Chinese Empire and should be tried by Huaxia, but they hoped that they could be extradited back to China, and the judicial departments of the two countries would deal with it impartially, but they did not mention those cargo ships.

This is obviously a gesture of goodwill between the two countries, and Huaxia is also happy to accept it, and immediately said that it will send these people back to the two countries.
