Komura Shoutaro was helpless, so he could only say goodbye first. When encountering such an arrogant, unreasonable, rough and barbaric guy, even if Komura Shoutaro has a tongue, he has no use in front of Ren Chao. Because this shameless guy doesn't reason with you at all, he only compares his fist with you, and now Japan has no capital that can blackmail Ren Chao, and the Qing government's connivance with Ren Chao has repeatedly fueled this guy's arrogance. In the face of such an opponent, Komura Shoutaro was also deeply helpless.

With resentment and curses against Ren Chao, Komura Shoutaro left the governor's yamen in a huff, and after returning to his residence, he immediately reported the matter to the Japanese government, which at this time was still pinning its hopes on the intervention of the foreign powers, and did not give an immediate reply.

It was not until a few days later, when there was no good news from the Great Powers, that the Japanese began to get anxious.

Japan's Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Agriculture said, "The Qing Tigers are entrenched in the Osumi Islands, the Jiaolong fleet is always cruising in the nearby seas, and the fishermen and fishing boats are afraid to go to sea, which has caused great inconvenience to the local residents of Kagoshima. ”

"How to supervise? If the Tiger Ben Army doesn't leave, what can we do? Mutsu said helplessly.

"Since they don't leave themselves, then we will drive them away, as long as the navy is willing to send a fleet to cover the landing, our army can send troops to directly drive the tiger army out of the Osumi Islands, and even take the opportunity to recover the Ryukyus." The new Minister of War, Tonosuke Takashima, said loudly.

"Isn't the peace treaty that was finally reached null and void, and once we take the initiative to attack, it is very likely that war will break out again, so I mention that it is better to resolve this matter through diplomatic channels." Admiral Minister Renli Kyung-beom immediately jumped out and spoke out against it. Joke? Send the navy to cover, you said it is light, do you think the Jiaolong fleet is so easy to deal with? If they were easy to deal with, the Osumi Islands would not have been occupied by the Tiger Army. Our navy finally has this little bit of money left, but it can't withstand such consumption.

"Humph! You're just refusing to use naval cover. You cowards, look at what you look like, right? They have all been frightened by the Tiger Army, you are not worthy of being a samurai of His Majesty the Emperor, and you are not worthy of being the descendants of my Yamato nation. Takashima Tonosuke stood up and scolded loudly by pointing at Renli Keifan's nose.

"Baga Ya Road! Your army is not cowards, but a bunch of rubbish, rice buckets! The army of more than 100,000 locusts was completely annihilated by the 30,000 tiger army, and I feel ashamed of you. Renli Jingfan immediately stood up and scolded loudly.

"Bagaya Road, if you dare to insult us, I will duel with you!" Takashima Tonosuke was furious at the moment. Reaching out to touch the saber on his waist, he was quickly stopped by the person next to him.

"Bang!" Ito Hirobumi slapped his face on the table, glanced coldly at the cabinet ministers attending the meeting, and said angrily, "Okay! Don't make any noise! The empire has reached this point, and you don't think about how to solve the current predicament, but you are making a lot of noise here, are you worthy of His Majesty the Emperor? ”

Ito scolded and immediately quieted the scene. Ito Hirobumi was in a very unhappy mood at this time. It's not just because these cabinet ministers are still arguing here at this time, it's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, Ito Hirobumi has long been accustomed to it, and Ito Hirobumi naturally won't get so angry for this little thing. The main reason why Ito Hirobumi is unhappy is because of this. Japan was defeated! Someone must have been responsible for this responsibility a long time ago, can the emperor take this responsibility? Of course not, because the emperor is a god, and gods cannot make mistakes. Then this responsibility can only be borne by him, the prime minister. With such a black pot on his back, Ito Hirobumi can foresee that his political career is basically over.

Since returning to Japan after signing the peace treaty, Ito Hirobumi has been denounced as a traitor by some fanatics in the country. and at the beginning of the war at that time. The Japanese army conquered Korea in one fell swoop, and Ito Hirobumi was regarded as a national hero by the people, which is tantamount to the difference between heaven and hell. The taste of falling from heaven to hell, Ito Hirobumi has personally experienced it, and this taste is indeed very bad, so Ito Hirobumi is in a very unhappy mood at this time.

After Japan's defeat, Ito Hirobumi's position as a cabinet minister has been determined to be unkept, but the treaty has just been signed, and both sides have not fulfilled the treaty, especially the Tiger Army occupies the Osumi Islands and has not withdrawn its troops, and no one wants to come out to take over this mess at this time, so the emperor will let Ito Hirobumi sit in this position for the time being. After Ito Hirobumi has dealt with the aftermath, it will be time for him to abdicate and make way for Xian, which is clear in the hearts of both Ito Hirobumi and the cabinet ministers present.

Ito glanced at the audience again, and everyone lowered their heads in shame. The cabinet members present at this time were more sympathetic to the outgoing cabinet minister, and at the same time ashamed. Was Japan's defeat his responsibility alone? Of course not, but this black cauldron can only be carried by him alone.

"There is no point in discussing these now, the empire has no capital to fight anymore, and we must do everything we can to end this war. Your Excellency Foreign Minister, are the countries of Europe and the United States really unwilling to support our Empire of Japan? Ito Hirobumi said coldly, and finally focused on Mutsu Munemitsu's body, and there was a deep longing in his eyes, Ito Hirobumi longed for Mutsu Munemitsu to give him a satisfactory answer.

But Mutsu Munemitsu didn't, Mutsu Munemitsu just shook his head lightly and said apologetically, "We've done our best!" ”

Ito Hirobumi sighed deeply, with a desperate expression on his face, raised his head to look up at the ceiling, and closed his eyes gently, "In that case, then we don't have to waste time in vain." Let Komura Shoutaro talk to Ren Chao again! As long as he agrees to withdraw his troops in the Osumi Islands, we can not pursue the affairs of North Korea, and we must let them withdraw their troops as much as possible no matter what! Do you understand? Ito Hirobumi stared at Mutsu Munemitsu with his head down, gritted his teeth and said the last sentence. Ito Hirobumi now has a kind of meaning that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, anyway, he has already carried this black cauldron, and he has been scolded as a traitor anyway, so what else does he Ito Hirofumi have to take care of.

"Hay!" Mutsu Munemitsu stood up and said respectfully, bowing deeply to Hirobumi Ito. (To be continued......)
