Taro Kawaguchi's face turned from red to blue, and then from green to black, and the black was like the bottom of the pot. The conditions put forward by Wu Tingfang are completely to destroy Japan! Once Japan disarms everything, isn't it at the mercy of China? As for the cession of territory, Japan already has a small country and many people, and its land resources are scarce, and if it cedes two more islands, Japan's land resources will be even more impoverished. And the huge war reparations are even more sky-high. Japan's annual fiscal revenue is only more than 400 million yen, which is converted into pounds sterling, more than 40 million pounds. China opened its mouth to pay a billion pounds in war reparations, and Japan would have to eat or drink for more than 20 years before it could pay it back!

"Yaga! These damned Shina people simply want to destroy the Great Japanese Empire! If he hadn't paid attention to the occasion, Taro Kawaguchi would have scolded a long time ago. It is impossible for the Japanese Government to accept any of these conditions. It seems that it is already impossible for the Cabinet to pay a little price, and then end the war on the battlefield.

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, these conditions are too harsh, and the Japanese government will not accept such conditions!" Taro Kawaguchi suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a positive way.

"If that's the case, then I'm very sorry. Since there is no way to end the war through negotiation, we have to meet on the battlefield! Wu Tingfang looked regretful. The Japanese did not accept such conditions, which he had long expected. If such conditions are accepted, it is no different from the death of the country. Fortunately, China has never counted on negotiations to resolve Japan's problems. China's army has long been prepared. The Second Army had already left for Korea and could land in Japan at any time.

Seeing Wu Tingfang's appearance, Taro Kawaguchi couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart. With a big country like China as a neighbor, there is no doubt that for a small country like Japan, and for a small country with ambitions, there will undoubtedly be a deadly threat. Japan has been working hard for decades, but in the end, it still has to come to the point of national destruction. I guess that's the sorrow of Japan!

"Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, although Japan is now at a disadvantage, we are not afraid of war! The Japanese Army has already armed millions of troops, and as long as the squadron dares to land in Japan, it will definitely make you pay a heavy price! Taro Kawaguchi said through gritted teeth.

"An army of millions, an army that doesn't even have weapons and can't eat enough, does Your Excellency Kawaguchi think we'll be afraid? Since it is impossible to negotiate an agreement, let's stop here for today! However, I would like to advise Your Excellency that what cannot be obtained through negotiation will be obtained by means of war. And, there's more! Wu Tingfang said coldly.

"Japan will never give in. Farewell! Taro Kawaguchi got up, gave Wu Tingfang a ninety-degree bow again, and left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with an angry face.

"Humph! Dead duck with a hard mouth! Now I want to ask for peace, it's too late. His Majesty said that there can only be one great power in the Far East. Little Japan also wants to compete with China, which is simply beyond its strength! Wu Tingfang said disdainfully. The Chinese have always looked down on Japan. Even during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after being defeated by Western powers, the Chinese were full of superiority over the Japanese. But later, in the Battle of the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan defeated the Manchus, which made countless people indignant and shocked. Fortunately, the rise of western Sichuan and the defeat of Japan once again avoided the general sinking of China.

"Someone, prepare the car, go to the palace!" After Taro Kawaguchi left, Wu Tingfang did not continue to stay in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but went to the palace to meet Wang Yuze. Taro Kawaguchi has already been pissed off, and the Japanese should die now. Then, the next time to deal with Japan, we can only use the means of war.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese envoy has rejected our conditions." Wu Tingfang said to Wang Yuze.

"It's okay, it's completely expected!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. Japan will obviously not agree to such harsh conditions.

"But what if Japan is determined to fight us to the end? With the population of Japan, if they let their hands and feet go, it is enough to arm millions of troops. When the time comes, if Japan is to be destroyed, I am afraid that our own losses will not be small! Wu Tingfang said with some concern.

"Don't worry! Although Japan has a large population, it is also possible to recruit more troops. But now Japan has been completely blockaded by us, and the industrial base has been basically destroyed. What do they use to arm these millions of troops? In addition, there is a big gap in Japan's food supply. Food prices have risen again and again, and ordinary Japanese have long had to live on wild vegetables. In many places, people are starving to death. If this continues, it will not be long before Japan's war potential will be exhausted. By the time we landed in Japan, the Japanese resistance would not have been so fierce! Wang Yuze said with a smile.

"So, when will we land in Japan and completely solve the Japanese threat?" Wu Tingfang asked.

"The General Staff has already made plans for it. Initially, it was to land in Japan after the United States and Russia had been settled. In this way, we will have enough troops. After all, Japan's population of tens of millions is not a small number. However, before that, an island will be captured as a base for advancement. The longer it drags on, the better it will be for us! Wang Yuze said with a smile. The longer it drags on, the more Japanese people die. Eventually, China may be able to take over all of Japan without much effort.

Wu Tingfang nodded and didn't say anything more. He is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and in military matters, the General Staff is naturally in charge, and he has no power to intervene.

On the evening of June 30, Taro Kawaguchi sent Wu Tingfang's conditions back to Japan. Suddenly, the Japanese cabinet was furious. The five-phase meeting chaired by Youpeng in Shanxian County still did not find a solution to the problem.

"Yaga! Damn the Shina people, do they really think they can destroy Japan? The 40 million citizens of Japan will teach them a hard lesson! Your Excellency the Prime Minister, give orders! Arm the army with all our might, and we will fight to the death with the people of China! Katsura Taro shouted frantically. The Chinese actually want Japan to dissolve the army and navy, how can they agree to such conditions?

Shan County Youpeng's face was also gloomy, as if he could drip water. China will offer harsh conditions, which he had long anticipated. However, I have to admit that he still didn't expect that China would be so ruthless, which is simply to swallow Japan completely!

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the Shina people have put forward conditions that are unacceptable to us. Negotiations, then, do not seem to work. Next, let's get ready and go all out to fight the Chinese! Prime Minister Yama Yama Aritomo said.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the Army is ready. At present, the army has expanded to 120 divisions and 2 million people. As long as the people of China dare to land in Japan, we will definitely give them a head-on blow! Lu Xiang Keitaro said unashamedly.

It's just that the faces of several other people are not so good-looking. Obviously, they are not new to the strength of the Japanese Army. Although the Japanese Army has expanded to 2 million, except for the first 1 million people, the troops that have expanded later do not even have rifles. Training with bamboo knives and bamboo guns one by one, expecting such troops to resist the Chinese is simply wishful thinking!

"Your Excellency, the conditions offered to the Americans by the people of China are also said to be very harsh. The American side also did not agree. At present, the officials in charge of diplomacy in Britain, France, the United States, and Russia are all on their way to China. I think we can work on that. If the four of us can agree on this, we may be able to put pressure on the Chinese people. Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki said.

"Humph! Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, do you think that the current people of China will be afraid of those Westerners? The navies of all countries have almost been lost, the Russians have been defeated in Siberia, and the Chinese have already gained the upper hand, how can they be subject to these pressures? Lu Xiang Keitaro said disdainfully.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think you can give it a try. Although the Chinese had a decisive advantage on the battlefield, their reputation in the world was not very good. Moreover, Britain and France, apart from the large naval losses, did not suffer much impact on their national strength. If they want to carry on the war, either by fully supporting Russia or by sending troops directly from Russia into the battlefield. This is very beneficial for Japan! "Said Prince Arisugawa Miyahito, Minister of Naval Orders.

"I also agree that we can work on the diplomatic front!" Tibetan Prime Minister Matsukata Masayoshi also said. When the war reached this point, Japan's treasury was already empty, and the army frantically expanded its army and demanded military expenses, which made Matsukata Masayoshi miserable.

"Well, in that case. Then Lord Aoki prepares and heads to Shina! Prime Minister Yama Youpeng thought for a moment, and then said. This is not much of a loss for Japan.

"Your Excellency Katsura Taro, the army must be on guard. The Chinese have already deployed an army group in Korea, and the army must be ready to resist the Chinese in the southwestern direction! A friend of Shan County advised.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, please rest assured that twenty of the army's most elite divisions have been deployed to the island of Kyushu and the southern part of Honshu! If the people of China dare to land, we will be able to drive them out into the sea to feed the fish!" Keitaro Ryu patted his chest and reassured.

Yama Prefecture Aritomo nodded, glanced at everyone, and then said, "His Excellency Saigo, Minister of the Interior, has conveyed the will of His Majesty the Emperor, and tomorrow morning the Imperial Council will be convened to discuss the national policy. Let's go back and get ready! ”
