Chapter 521: Focus, Iwo Jima!

Why did Japan die like this?

In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, because Japan wants to invade China, or it can be said that the emperor wants to invade China!

The previous invasion of China had not suffered a major setback, or the great battle at Shanhaiguan was really too bad, not only did many people die, but the first cadre of the army either died or was captured, which was really too aggrieved.

This is the case in any country in the world, and even the cult of Japan is no different, so what is this lesson?

"The Army is a bunch of idiots!"

Well, everyone knows this, and it must have been the people of the Satsuma clan who said this.

"The Navy is not giving us enough support!"

This must have been the remarks of the soldiers of the Cheung Chau Domain.

That's right, the Changzhou Domain is right, you see, that's Shanhaiguan, as long as the Japanese Navy can get to that place and support the firepower on the gunboats, then I'm afraid everything will be different.

But the people of the Satsuma Domain also have a point, that is, the naval warships of the Pacific Rim Empire are very advanced, and it is difficult for us to get close to that position.

In that case, our warships are not good, so please ask His Majesty the Emperor to allocate funds so that we can build better warships......

Anyway, there are different reasons, but there is a consensus that we should find a way at sea.

Of course, the Satsuma Domain was happy, and the Changzhou Domain also needed to cultivate for a while, so they reached an agreement, so let's do it at sea.

So, there was the previous sneak attack, making a fuss at sea.

It's just that before the sneak attack, the people of the Satsuma Domain, that is, the big man Saigo Congdao, said it well.

"Your Majesty the Emperor! There are a series of reforms that China is currently underway, and we can call it turmoil! And the reason why these upheavals have not brought about a catastrophic change there. Mainly because of that Li Mengyang, he has a sea route, which can transport a lot of agricultural products, and these agricultural products can ensure the basic needs of the Chinese people! So, as long as we cut off this shipping route and prevent agricultural products from the United States from entering China. That Li Mengyang will inevitably fail......"

Don't really say it, the Japanese are not so stupid, and there are really people who see this key thing.

When Li Mengyang carried out land reform in the early stage, he actually had a guarantee to rely on, that is, he could deliver agricultural products from the United States to our land of China.

Agriculture, the primary industry, and our China is a thoroughly agricultural country at this time, so everyone has gone to carry out land reform, although the land is divided. But it's not easy to really use it effectively. Many people will oppose it, will they go against the land reform, and will they fight wars.

Therefore, the import of external agricultural products, although the amount is not very large, but at least not too many people starved to death, Li Mengyang's three-way army. Basically, at least the imperial capital, the magic capital. The three places in Guangzhou, that is, the places where the land reform was carried out most violently, radiated far away from here as the center, all implemented the basic grain rationing system...... To be honest, it wasn't a good institution economically, but at the time. At the very least, you can do it without starving to death.

The struggle is tragic enough, Li Mengyang at least guaranteed the material bottom line, and this also made more people vote to him, he did a good job in this matter.

Someone on the Japanese side saw this, so they wanted to cut off this transportation route. Their plan is also good, which is to go directly to Honolulu, this place is a transit point, if it is really taken by the Japanese, it will be really interesting.

It's okay, this Japanese navy is really weird, they actually thought of such a tactic......

Originally, Japan's maritime power was not strong enough, but there were really not many normal people on this island, and as a result, it was pushed back by the powerful Pacific Rim Federation Navy!

But Iwo Jima, that is the cover door of Japan, they must control this place in their own hands, if this place is taken by the American Navy, then the next step, the American Navy will use this as an outpost, and the Japanese island will be in danger, so a big war is inevitable......

"Gentlemen! For the sake of the Great Japanese Empire! We must fight to the end! Always be ready for glorious jade shattering! ”

The war has not yet started, in front of the Diet in Tokyo, on this day, Emperor Meiji was wearing a military uniform, this guy's mustache is also very beautiful, he doesn't wear a hat, and he has a sword on his waist and hips, which can be regarded as a majestic speech there.

"Onboard! Onboard! ”

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

The soldiers under the stage, of course, didn't say it, their hearts were surging one by one, and they just felt that they were dying for the emperor now, and it was nothing.

But when it comes to the current situation, there are two people who are worried, one of them is Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito, and the other is an important figure in the navy, Katsu Kaishu!

These two people have advocated that they can't fight before, because as long as they are sober-minded, then anyone can make this judgment, but His Majesty the Emperor doesn't have SEI now, let's fight, he is the emperor.

So, after the emperor's speech, these two people were still working hard.

"Your Majesty the Emperor! Now our Great Japanese Empire still has the opportunity to negotiate peace with the Pacific Rim Federation, we still have a certain amount of capital, and we still have a way out, Your Majesty! Think again! ”

Hirobumi Ito knows very well in his heart, in fact, the current war is already obvious, and it has only been fought for a few months? It's already made people almost block the door, and they are still fighting?

Emperor Meiji actually doesn't have a bottom in his heart now, but he is the emperor, and he has already defeated North Korea before, so why not go further? Besides, wasn't there a good chance before? Just that Li Mengyang, what kind of land reform is he engaged in, there is a big chaos in China, just take advantage of the chaos, but I didn't expect to fail so miserably!

If you want to blame this, then you have to blame Nogi Noshinori for this stupid guy, this guy is not good at fighting!

If Nogi Noshinori knew about the spring, he would probably have to cut his stomach again with tears streaming down his face......

In fact, the reason why the Japanese lost so badly was mainly because Li Mengyang sent all the troops he could fight to fight, which no one expected......

So, how to negotiate peace?

"No!" The emperor first made a denial. But it's just that, "This matter is at stake for the honor of our Great Japanese Empire!" The interests of our great Japanese empire are at stake! How can it be so easy to make peace? ”

Hey, this is said to be very 'crane song', there is definitely something in this sentence, so Ito Hirofumi decided to be a smart person, how can he not understand?

I only heard Ito Hirobumi say: "Your Majesty! It's actually simple. That is, as long as we use the island of Taiwan as a bargaining chip, then we can negotiate peace with the Pacific Rim Federation, and I believe they also know the importance of the island of Taiwan, so that Your Majesty can tell the world with dignity that it is because of Your Majesty's generosity and the consideration of the local feelings of the people on that island that we ......."

Don't say it, this method that Ito Hirobumi thought of is really reliable. The exchange of the island of Taiwan for the end of the war is very good from this point of view. If Taiwan is abandoned, and the Pacific Rim Federation is still aggressive, then the European countries will definitely not be able to sit still.

The European powers must not watch the Pacific Rim Commonwealth envelop the entire Pacific Ocean, or they would not have come out to shout a few words before.

This matter was actually thought up by Hirofumi Ito and Hai Shengzhou, and it should be said that it is the best solution at present. It can not only satisfy the Pacific Rim Federation, but also allow the emperor to step down. That's good.

But what would Emperor Meiji think?

"This ...... This ......" Emperor Meiji hesitated very much, he did this for a long time, and finally came to say, "Can we not move Taiwan, and we will cede North Korea?" ”

"......," Ito Hirobumi said. This bitterness on the face!

Then there are not many Koreans in our Great Japanese Empire now, Your Majesty the Emperor, you are too stingy, aren't you? The people of the Pacific Rim are not fools......

Well, the situation on the Japanese side seems to be the time to do this. The Emperor is so slammed. But in fact, however, the Pacific Rim Commonwealth, especially the United States, is ready.

"Her Royal Highness, please look here!"

"Princess Fiona, please look here!"

"Oh! Princess Eleanor! You are so beautiful! ”

"Princess Elena! Can you smile more? ”

What is this doing?

Just listen, bang...... It's a mess, it's taking pictures.

At this time, in front of the White House, the four concubines of the Pacific Rim Empire were being interviewed there, but at this time, they were all wearing military uniforms!

Yes, as the so-called don't like red makeup and love arms, these four were originally big beauties, and now they are wearing heroic uniforms, which is really dazzling.

The four concubines each chose a color, white, red, green and blue, and there are tassel embroidery on the military uniform, the buttons are all dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, and the cuffs are auspicious and cloudy, which is really good-looking.

Anyway, this time the reporters were all happy, and they didn't think they needed to write any articles, just these four appeared in tomorrow's newspaper, and they would have to be swept away by the American people!

So what is this for? Why?

It's very simple, to motivate the morale of all the people, now after all, it is a national war, and ah, this war is still with the collective consent of the four concubines, how can they not set an example?

Of course, this matter of war will definitely inform Li Mengyang, who is thousands of miles away, don't say it, Li Mengyang, this guy has replied......

"What did this guy Clint come back to?"

"Yes! Let's take a look. ”

After boosting morale, the four of them, needless to say, all came over to see what their husbands wrote, Huang Rong, as the queen, is not stingy, take it apart and read it together.

If a piece of news is transmitted from the United States to China, it will take at least 20 days, and the fastest time to come and go is 40 days, so what did Li Mengyang say?

"Oops? So this guy is going to do this? ……”

Li Mengyang: What big plan does this have? (To be continued.) )

PS: Thank you all for your support! Thank you so much!

In addition, let's talk about one thing, it's interesting on the board duck's side, after the congressional election, a new party came out, called, we can, hey, hey, it's similar to what is written in the black car book, I don't know the party, at least the name, and ah, the leader of this party is a famous mouth, really a famous mouth, hahaha, anyway, have fun watching it.
