After Okuma Shigenobu's words were finished, everyone immediately began to discuss, and the people from the military department were also here, but they all bowed their heads in shame, in their opinion, the peace talks were an insult to them, but as the prime minister said, they had no choice, after all, the odds were not very high.

After a full hour, the voices of the parliamentarians gradually calmed down and prepared for a vote, but the leaders of the various parties asked Shigenobu Okuma questions.

"Your Excellency, if peace talks are finally decided, in your opinion, where is the bottom line of the imperial negotiations?"

"It depends on the requirements of the Shina government, but in my opinion, as long as you don't cede the empire's mainland territory, don't compensate huge sums of money, don't announce surrender, don't pay tribute, don't restrict the empire's military development, etc.!"

"According to your meaning, North Korea, Duwan, Ryukyu and other places can be ceded to China, and even Huatai Island must be ceded to them?"

"Duwan and Ryukyu are in the hands of China, and now most of Korea is also in the hands of China, do you think the empire can be recaptured at present? If the empire is defeated, these areas are still China's people, and they will even ask the empire to cede territory, and the princes know which is more important! ”

"This ......"

"Gentlemen, let's vote first, the specific matters still need to be discussed, the big plan now is to delay China, so that the empire has enough time to prepare for the next fuller war, all kinds of weapons need time to develop!"

Half an hour later, the number of votes in favor of the peace talks was passed by a margin of ten votes, and Okuma Shigenobu was scared into a sweat when he learned the result, but fortunately the final pass was passed.

Many of the parliamentarians present are not crazy, they are also very aware of the situation of the Fuso Empire at this time, and now they are still qualified to negotiate with China, if they want to negotiate peace with China after all the imperial naval fleets are defeated, they will ignore you, after all, China is not the same as it used to be, just look at the fate of Tsarist Russia.

What made Shigenobu Okuma decide to negotiate peace was that he saw the shadow of Shina among the Red Party members, and thought that Shina would deal with them like Tsarist Russia, and then the empire would be mired in a civil war, and it would be impossible to rise.

Immediately after the peace talks, the Okuma cabinet sent a request to the Huaxia government for the peace talks, and a delegation to China was formed, and once Huaxia agreed, they would go to China. As for why the negotiation venue was not set in Fuso, Okuma Shigenobu also considered it, and it is estimated that the people of China will not come to Fuso at this time, so it is better to negotiate in China to show their sincerity.

In the office of the prime minister of the Central Garden of China, Chen Fu was speechless for a long time with the telegram sent by the Fusang government asking for peace, and if he really negotiated peace with Fusang, it would break the plan for Fusang arranged by the empire, and he was still entangled.

"Negotiate, negotiate! Talking and fighting, if you want to get a respite, no way! ”

Chen Fuke does not think that peace talks are a good thing, as the so-called cutting grass does not eradicate the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, Asia is destined to have only one strong country, that is, China! But it's nothing to talk about peace, who wouldn't open his mouth widely, and even if the negotiations break down, it's no wonder that we can't blame us.

"Come on, let the cabinet draw up a plan for peace talks, and then let Minister Wu and them negotiate!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Shigenobu Okuma received a telegram from Huaxia agreeing to peace talks, but the venue had to be held in the imperial capital of Huaxia, stating that there would be no truce during the negotiations.

"Damn, how can peace talks be called peace talks without stopping, there is no sincerity at all!" The Prime Minister's secretary complained.

Okuma Shigenobu shook his head and sighed: "This is already the best result, they are like this to Tsarist Russia, in other words, I will not give the enemy time to breathe when I have the advantage, the Shina government is not a fool!" ”

"Then do you want to make this news public?"

"For the time being, it will not be made public, and it will be announced when the Shina fleet leaves Kyushu Island, now is not the time! By the way, send a message to the Admiralty that the fleet at the Kure Port base should turn to the Saeki area and stop at the Sasebo base, and Yokosuka's fleet should rush to Saeki to join them. ”

"Yes!"

Just when the Fuso government was preparing for peace talks, the information that the Sasebo base on Kyushu Island had been bombed by planes was also on the table of the heads of government, and they were all frightened by the waterfowl fighters of the Huaxia Empire, and they were shocked by the long-distance planes that could fly from Huaxia to Fuso and bomb the mainland, if they also had this kind of plane, then they could kill the enemy thousands of miles away.

Countries have contacted one after another, hoping to buy this kind of aircraft, but they have all been rejected by Huaxia, saying that this is an aircraft exclusively for the internal use of the Chinese army and will not be sold.

All the countries in China are a little frightened by the endless emergence of new weapons, and Huaxia has unconsciously taken the lead in the aspect of airplanes, and if they do not catch up, they will be pulled farther and farther away by Huaxia, which is really a terrible Chinese people.

When countries felt sorry for Fusang, they happily praised Fusang for exposing so many new weapons and hole cards to Huaxia, at least Fusang was not useless, and it could also be used as cannon fodder for testing.

In Kagoshima Bay, several Chinese warships sailed in, and at first they were violently attacked at the entrance of the entrance, but they were soon pressed down, and all the military defenses on the shore were destroyed.

The Kaga fleet quickly headed towards Kagoshima City, one of the key cities they attacked, as it had produced a large number of political and military celebrities, such as Saigo Takamori and Okubo Ritsu, the first heroes of the Meiji Restoration, the naval veteran Heihachiro Togo, and the army admiral Naotoshi Osako.

The attack here was aimed at arousing the dissatisfaction of the Kagoshima Fuso high-level officials and hastening the result of the war.

The governor of Kagoshima was organizing government personnel to evacuate the citizens at this time, and the entry of the Kakaka fleet into Kagoshima Bay was a surprise to the local government of Kagoshima, because Kumamoto City above was not attacked, and it was taken for granted that they would not be attacked even if they had the same bay as Kumamoto City, but the Kakagawa fleet still came.

The Red Party elements in Kagoshima City wanted to create chaos and loot while the fire was burning, but they were suppressed by the retired General Kuroki Weizhen and his 5,000 urgently transferred soldiers to cooperate with the police. Admiral Kuroki commanded 5,000 soldiers to build a military defense facility in Kagoshima Port, and put up all the artillery that could be used, almost all of which were old cannons left over from the early Meiji Restoration.

"Don't panic, the warships of China are not necessarily invincible, as long as they dare to enter the inner bay, I may leave them all behind!" General Kuroki said proudly.

According to Kuroki Weizhen's idea, it is indeed possible to use the inner bay to leave the Kaka warship, and to enter the inner bay, you must pass through the port of Kagoshima, which is narrow because of the storage of Sakurajima, and if you can block the port of Kagoshima, you may not be able to leave it.

"Boom !!"

There was a roar over Kagoshima City, and Kuroki quickly looked up with his binoculars and looked up, only to see several huge planes flying low over the city center, dropping several large bombs and hovering for a while before continuing to drop them.

"Boom ......"

The tall buildings in the center of the city collapsed in the bombing, kicking up puffs of dust, and as the number of bombs dropped, the number of bombs spread from the center of the city to all sides, countless buildings were blown up, and huge fires burned everywhere.

"It's not good, it's the plane of the Chinese people, how could it attack here so quickly, didn't it bomb around Nagasaki, damn it, find a place to hide!"

Before Kuroki Weizhen could finish speaking, the pilot of Asuka saw this position, and without saying a word, he swooped over and bombed, and several bombs fell in the trenches.

A few rumbling sounds, several old cannons were directly blown up, and the soldiers near the cannons were also affected, and the entire trench position was turned into a shape after several rounds of bombardment.

"Attack, attack these planes with artillery!" Kuroki shouted as she roared for Zhen.

A trace of bitterness flashed on the faces of the soldiers nearby when they heard this, how could these old-fashioned cannons be heavy and difficult to move, how could they hit those planes moving at high speed.

"Boom ......"

The Huaxia warship also arrived at this time, and first shelled the Fusang soldiers who were ready to resist them in their opinion, and dozens of shells reached the position, causing the Fusang soldiers to run away with their heads in their hands.

A cannonball just landed next to Kuroki Weizhen, who was blown up and shattered before he could dodge, and the other Fuso soldiers saw that the generals were all killed and fled like crazy.

Half an hour later, the Kata warship shelled the active volcano above Sakurajima, and the volcano exploded in an instant, and a fiery red magma rose into the sky, and the area began to shake violently, and the earthquake spread to Kagoshima City.

The city of Kagoshima, which was already in ruins, was completely destroyed by the earthquake, with a magnitude of more than seven.

"Hahaha, the magnificent fireworks sent us away, it was amazing!"

The Huaxia warship was very excited to see the volcanic eruption, which was their masterpiece. They did not enter the inner bay and left as soon as they completed their mission, without any nostalgia.

"Damn the Shina people, Kagoshima City was blown up into ruins by them, what a bullshit peace talks, go to war!" After receiving the news that his hometown was in ruins and that his old friend Kuroki had died in battle, Heihachiro Togo smashed the contents of his study.

The same thing happened to Gonbei Yamamoto, who is also from Kagoshima, and how can he not be angry when his hometown is attacked, but he has a better temper than Heihachiro Togo, and he does not shout for a naval attack.

Kagoshima was in ruins, and the Fuso Kagoshima clan was furious, and they asked for a naval attack, but Okuma Shigenobu refused, on the grounds that the empire would not lose its future for Kagoshima's sake.

An angry Kagoshima clan could not help but offer the newspaper the government's plan to negotiate peace with Huaxia, and the newspaper caused a sensation among the people when it came out.

A large number of people were induced by the opposition to march in the streets to demand the cessation of peace talks, and in their view, the peace request was simply a shame, and they did not need to negotiate, which made the Okuma cabinet very passive.
