In Tokyo, Japan, the Prime Minister's Office, Masaki Terauchi and other five ministers of the Japanese cabinet are waiting for news from Genicoro Ozawa, the ambassador to China. Although, they knew that even if Japan compromised and retreated, the Chinese Empire would not give up waging war against Japan. However, they still want to be able to give it a try.

Not long after, Japanese Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida walked into the conference room from the outside with an ugly face, holding a telegram in his hand. Seeing Yasuya Uchida's expression, everyone had already guessed. This engagement with the Chinese Empire seems to have ended in failure.

"Uchida-kun, is that bad news?" Masaki Terauchi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Ozawa-kun's telegram said that the people of China had put forward three conditions. The first is to ask us to apologize to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the second is to compensate the Ryukyu Kingdom for the loss of 100 million Chinese dollars. The third was to cede all the islands to the south of Tanegashima to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and to prohibit Japanese fishermen from fishing in this area. Yasuya Uchida said word by word.

"Yaga! Damn the Shina people, they actually humiliated the Great Japanese Empire like this? How can we agree to such conditions? Your Excellency the Prime Minister, please give your order. Even if we fight to the death with the Chinese people, we will never let them get their wish. Lu Xiang Shi Ben Shinliu shouted. It's so keyless, these three conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire are really too insulting.

"Since the people of China have put forward such conditions, they expect that we will never agree. So, get ready for war. This time, the immortal Shina people destroyed us, and we defeated the Shina people. Admiral Rokuro Yashiro also said. Albeit. The Japanese Navy was keen to be able to delay the construction of their Yamato-class battleships. However, now it is clear that the Chinese Empire will not give them a chance. In this case, the Japanese Navy naturally has no other choice but to fight to the death. Fortunately, the Japanese have never been afraid of death. The more difficult the situation, the more they can fight to the death.

"Uchida-kun. Is there any room for redemption? Masaki Terauchi asked. At this juncture, he was a little worried. After all, compared to the Chinese Empire, Japan is now far behind. If you want to defeat China, it will undoubtedly be very difficult. Therefore, there is a good chance that Japan will lose this war.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the attitude of the people of China is very resolute. We can almost conclude that the people of China have long been preparing for war against us. The more the 'Yamato-class' battleships were about to enter service, the more the Shina would provoke a war at this time. Therefore. We have no way back. "Yasuya Uchida said. ' The Yamato-class battleships were the pride of the Japanese Navy. However, it was precisely because of the 'Yamato-class' battleships that the Chinese Empire regarded Japan as a thorn in its side. If Japan is not destroyed, the Chinese Empire will never give up.

"In that case, let's prepare to fight to the death with the Shina people! We want the people of China to know that the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire will not be defeated so easily. If they want to defeat Japan, they will have to pay a heavy price. The price will be too great for them to bear. Imperial Navy and Army. Even if you fight to the last soldier, you have to fight to the death with the people of China. Masaki said in a deep voice. Since there is no other option. Then he can only make up his mind and fight to the death with the Chinese Empire.

"Hai, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." The ministers of the Japanese cabinet shouted one after another. Each of them had anger and determination on their faces.

Subsequently, Japan's Taisho Emperor issued an edict requiring all Japanese citizens to enter the highest state of combat readiness. Always be ready to respond to threats that may come your way. This has caused panic throughout Japanese society. Although, the senior officials of the Japanese cabinet are not afraid of war. But for ordinary civilians, war is terrifying, and that means there will be huge casualties. Many, many people will die, and their homes will be in ruins. In the past, the Chinese Navy bombarded Japan's coastal cities on a large scale, turning these cities into ruins, which undoubtedly left a deep psychological shadow on the Japanese people.

On the other hand, the Japanese ambassador to China, Genicoro Ozawa, also officially represented the Japanese government and rejected the sincerity of the Chinese Empire. They claimed that the conditions of the Chinese Empire were too harsh. The Japanese Empire could not accept such conditions. If the Chinese Empire were to wage war against the Japanese Empire because of this, the Japanese Empire would not hesitate to fight to the death.

These cruel words left by the Japanese have no deterrent effect on the empire. The Empire had long been prepared for this battle. Obviously, if Japan openly rejects the conditions of the Empire, then the Empire will naturally not let go of this reasonable excuse for war against Japan.

After the departure of the Japanese ambassador, Tang Shaoyi, the Imperial Foreign Minister, immediately went to the Imperial Palace to pay a message to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese have categorically rejected our conditions. So, can the empire declare war on Japan right away? Tang Shaoyi asked. This time, it was not an ordinary war, but a war to destroy the country. This made these ministers of the empire very excited.

"Is the Navy ready?" Wu Haoxuan looked at Marshal Sa Zhenbing, Minister of the Navy, and Marshal Cheng Biguang, Commander of the Navy.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Navy is ready. All warships of the Pacific Fleet are capable of going to sea to fight. The South Ocean Fleet is also able to alert the direction of the Indian Ocean, and will definitely not give the navies of other countries the opportunity to meddle in our war with Japan. Marshal Sa Zhenbing said.

"What about the Army?" Wu Haoxuan looked at Marshal Zhao Xifu, Minister of War.

"Your Majesty, the three armies of the army have been distributed and assembled along the coast of Korea and Imperial Lu Province and Su Province. As long as the navy gains sea supremacy, it can launch a landing operation against Japan. War Minister Marshal Zhao Xifu said.

"Good, now that it's all ready. Well, it's like Japan declaring war. Tomorrow morning, I will personally make a radio statement. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The military ministers of the empire said one after another.

The announcement of the declaration of war on Japan by Wu Haoxuan himself was undoubtedly more shocking, and it could also show the determination of the empire.

"By the way, the vassal states must be in harmony. After the empire declared war on Japan, all vassal states declared war on Japan. Wu Haoxuan said.

After the signing of the Mutual Defense Treaty, the vassal states will be aligned with the Empire. The war against Japan can be regarded as a rehearsal. When a world war breaks out in the future, the empire and all the vassal states will be able to unite more closely against the enemy.

"Your Majesty, the vassal states have been contacted." Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi replied.

"Besides, is the army of the vassal state worthy of a war?" Wu Haoxuan asked. According to the previous plan of the empire, each vassal state was building a standing army and mobilization system. In order to be able to invest their own military forces after the outbreak of future wars and win the final war.

"Your Majesty, the standing armies of the vassal states have basically completed their training. It's just that there is still a big gap between the combat effectiveness and the Imperial Army. However, if you do not undertake the main combat mission, there should be no big problem. Marshal Shi Tianhan, Chief of the General Staff, said.

Wu Haoxuan nodded: "Okay, when the Imperial Army lands in Japan, the armies of the vassal states will be responsible for the security of the rear and the protection of the logistics supply lines." It can be regarded as letting them be tested in actual combat. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Shi Tianhan nodded.

At 9 a.m. on August 15, 4621 A.D., countless people of the empire gathered in front of loudspeakers or radios throughout the country, ready to listen to the oracle of His Majesty the Emperor.

The current empire is already one of the most powerful countries in the world, and the lives of the people of the empire are much better than they were more than ten years ago. Especially after the empire expanded its territory and gained a large amount of fertile land, the empire has not had a food crisis for a long time. After solving the problem of food and clothing, the people of the empire, whose living conditions are getting better and better, love and appreciate the emperor and the government from the bottom of their hearts. In their minds, His Majesty the Emperor is a deified being.

Now, His Majesty the Emperor is going to issue a holy message, and the people of the empire will certainly not miss this opportunity.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the voice of Emperor Wu Haoxuan reached the ears of every imperial citizen through the radio.

"Good morning, people of the Empire. A few days ago, a fishing boat from the Ryukyu Kingdom, a vassal state of the empire, was hit and sunk by a Japanese fishing boat, killing many fishermen. After the incident, the Japanese government not only did not apologize, but also did not make compensation. This is clearly a provocation to the Empire. Last year, the Empire and its vassal states signed the "Mutual Defense" treaty, which obliges the Empire, as the suzerain, to provide protection for the security of the vassal states. Therefore, in the face of repeated provocations by Japan, the empire decided to declare war on Japan from now on! Wu Haoxuan said in a deep voice.

"Declare war! Kill the Japanese! Let them know the cost of provoking the empire. ”

"Yes, there is no good thing in Little Japan. In the early years, they killed quite a few of us. This time, they actually dared to provoke the empire again, and the empire would definitely not be able to let them go. ”

"Long live the Empire! Defeat Japan! ”

The Emperor himself issued an edict, which caused a strong outpouring of enthusiasm among the people of the Empire. To the south to the East Indies and to Siberia to the north. To the east is a small island in the Pacific Ocean and to the west is the shores of the Black Sea. Everywhere the people of the empire lived, voices of support for the empire's declaration of war on Japan erupted. They fanatically chanted slogans in their respects to His Majesty the Emperor.
