Or 3G If Dewey's conversation revealed a sense of arrogance and inexplicable arrogance, then in the following conversation with Uemura Hikonojo, a senior officer of the Japanese Navy, there was a kind of confusion and confusion from time to time. bsp; "I really didn't expect to meet Mr. Uemura here." Looking at the silent Uemura Hikonojo, Yang Yonglin actually had a trace of inexplicable pleasure in his heart!

"The first time I was captured by Admiral Xu, this time I was replaced by Your Excellency. It's really a nòng person. Uemura laughed miserably.

"How did you end up in the United States?" Yang Yonglin asked.

"Do you think Japan still needs a navy?" Uemura Hikonojo felt a pain in his heart, yes, as an island country, not only the navy that had accumulated for more than 20 years was wiped out, but the army was also unprecedentedly weakened. The British will not easily fight the Russians, and the Beiyang Fleet will not easily help the former enemy, so now Japan is in a predicament, the army has the strength to fight with the Russians, but if it really wants to fight, without the influence of external forces, Japan without a navy will be trapped alive by the Russian Far East Fleet! So now the two sides are in a stalemate! But time is clearly not on the side of the Japanese! At present, the logistics of the Russian army are still limited by transportation, and once the Trans-Siberian Railway is completed, when a large number of Russian troops arrive in Japan, Japan will have no hope of recovering the occupied territories. It is not even certain that it will be able to withstand the new offensive of the Russians!

"Japan still wants to have a navy?!" Yang Yonglin asked with a smile.

"Japan is an island nation, and no navy is equivalent to no national defense. You are a naval admiral and should know what the Navy's means to an island nation. Uemura Hikonoki didn't think carefully when he said this, but he had already told Yang Yonglin what a considerable number of people in Japan thought, that is, Japan still wants to restore the glory of the Japanese Combined Fleet back then! Although they can't do it yet!

"I have to say, the tenacity of the Japanese is really good." Yang Yonglin thought in his heart. This reminded him of when he was in Beiyang. Xu Jie once said to him, "Japan is a country that must always be vigilant, and we must completely control it step by step!" Let it never turn over! We must take advantage of the opportunities. Let Japan bleed until it is clean! ”

"If you could go back to Japan, what would you do?" Yang Yonglin's seemingly aimless question. In fact, it was considering the purpose of the Japanese Admiralty in sending this group of officers to the United States!

"Of course it's the Navy, I can't do anything else but this." Hikonojo Uemura said casually.

"If I'm not mistaken, the United States may provide Japan with loans and export warships, right?" Yang Yonglin said with a change of words. "Ugh." Hikoyuki Uemura's pupils shrank suddenly, and a feeling of fear surged up from the depths of his heart! This in itself is part of a secret agreement between the United States and Japan, with Japan providing experienced admirals to help the Americans plan naval buildup, while the United States provides financial support to Japan while helping Japan rebuild its navy when necessary.

It is not difficult to understand that the British do not have a good opinion of the Japanese. France was an ally of Russia, and the cost of French warships was too high for Japan to afford. The Germans also have no affection for Japan, as for the Italians? I don't say you understand, so far. The only one who can help Japan is the United States. Yang Yonglin talked eloquently.

"But I don't know if you, or Japan thought about it, the navy is a huge project with a lot of time to invest. I wonder if the Japanese Navy will be able to wait until the day when it can compete with the Russian fleet after the Russians discover this sign. You know, if the Russians want to attack Japan, they probably don't even bother to find a decent excuse! And with the economic situation in Japan. I'm afraid it's hard to take on the burden of a huge fleet right now. Yang Yonglin had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes! …,

"If the Russians suppress Japan with all their might, it will be difficult for Japan to do anything in a short period of time, but I am afraid that Russia is more interested in your country than Japan. It is important to know that Tohoku alone is already three times the size of Japan, and the long border between Russia and your country makes it ideal for an attack. Uemura Hikonojo no longer has the mí he had at the beginning, but said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"From my personal point of view, in the Sino-Japanese War, in addition to the navy, the Beiyang side was far inferior to Japan in terms of land force, economic strength, and transportation capacity. It is true that Japan was defeated, but it was also defeated after a sneak attack on the homeland under the treachery of the Russians, and if the war dragged on, it might not end in a draw! Hikonoki Uemura continued.

"So how does Japan plan to repay its foreign debt of hundreds of millions of yen? Or can you guarantee that the Russians will not take advantage of Japan, whose economy is already collapsing? Russia is a vulture! They won't give up a piece of rot! In other words, this was already doomed when Japan could not win! It's only a matter of time before it happens! And without sea power, I want to know, do you plan to starve hundreds of thousands of troops and recruits to death or do you want to be killed? Can your bushido make soldiers invulnerable without eating? Even if Japan can guarantee the homeland for the time being, we have hundreds of thousands of rò tickets on hand, and we are not afraid that the Japanese government will not compensate! Yang Yonglin said with a smile.

"Everything happens with inevitable laws, and seemingly accidental things are actually the result of the combined action of countless factors! And you don't realize it, you keep thinking that you are just bad luck! Don't you think it's a little ridiculous that you still want to follow the path of the past? A country that may be finished at any time still wants to spread the power of the emperor and the four seas, isn't this looking for death? Yang Yonglin made no secret of his hostility to Japan.

"The current Japan is not good, but neither the social system nor the national jīng god in Japan can be compared with the current backward and decadent Qing Dynasty. Your victory in the Sino-Qing War is only the result of the operation of a small group of people, whether it is your emperor or those mediocre ministers, they will be your obstacles, you can defeat the not very powerful Japan, but how can you deal with Russia, which is even bigger than the Qing state?! Hikonojo Uemura asked.

"A small group of people? Perhaps, Liangguang, Northeast. Zhili also has Fujian, Zhejiang, Taiwan, plus Sichuan. Yang Yonglin said while folding his hands: "I don't know if the force of Lu Dao is enough to deal with the Russians who have only one railway as a supply line and have crossed thousands of miles to the Far East. After speaking, Yang Yonglin smiled weirdly.

"Uh......." Hikoyuki Uemura didn't figure it out for a while. After a few minutes, he realized what Yang Yonglin meant. The area controlled by Beiyang now far exceeds that of Japan, even if a small number of people in this ancient country can change. To fight, to develop, then his strength is also very amazing!

"And now Liu Kunyi, Zhang Zhidòng, and even Iketanga in the Northeast have begun to accept the new Western economic and industrial system, there is a saying that a spark can start a prairie fire, I think you should understand the meaning of this sentence, right? It is indeed difficult for the country and nation living on this land to change because of the habits of history, but once he is assassinated and decides to truly change, it will be impossible for anyone to stop it, and any person or group that wants to block the progress of the wheel of history will be crushed! The emperor and the queen mother cannot. Neither can the entire center! When he said the last time, Yang Yonglin didn't know when he suddenly became so hostile to the court and the emperor who had worshipped! When he finished speaking, he realized what a bold thing he had just said! Just now. The so-called feudal morality has been reduced to ashes! …,

And even more shocking than Yang Yonglin is Hikonojo Uemura! As a high-level Japanese executive who experienced the entire Meiji Restoration, he knew where the biggest resistance to the reform of the road came from! The biggest resistance to change comes from people's hearts, from people's deep nostalgia for the past and hostility to new things! And this used to be the biggest advantage that the Japanese top brass considered Japan to be over the Qing Dynasty! The conservative and decadent Qing State from top to bottom will be a more powerful enemy than Japan, but now, even a high-level like Yang Yonglin has defeated the conservative in his heart! Well, maybe the country will really be turned upside down!

"Japan has no chance. The seas and lands of East Asia will later be under the control of one country! Suddenly, a chill welled up in Uemura's heart! He knew that Japan had lost the opportunity to dominate East Asia, and that Japan had not been able to defeat the dragon before it woke up, and now the dragon had begun to awaken! If he is really angry, I am afraid that the entire Japanese archipelago will be torn to pieces!

"Actually, General Yang misunderstood, Japan wants to rebuild its navy, and its opponents are also the Russians who invaded our country! Didn't your country also provide our country with a large amount of armaments to resist the offensive of the Russians? Speaking of this, Uemura Hikoyuki bit his mouth hard, this feeling of knocking out his teeth and swallowing it in his stomach is really uncomfortable! How many bamboo poles Beiyang knocked in this regard, he still knows a little!

"In the current situation, our country and your country have the same purpose, which is to resist the polar bear from Europe, shouldn't we cooperate? In the face of the Russians' powerful shipbuilding capabilities and huge naval size, isn't the Beiyang Naval Division not worried at all? Uemura Hikonojo said hopefully that if the Beiyang side can say that it can loosen its grip on Japan's naval construction, then Britain will definitely help Japan rebuild its navy from the perspective of balancing the forces of the Far East and resisting Russia, and with the navy, Japan's situation will be different! And if it could even reconnect with the British, then Japan would be able to completely get rid of its status as a defeated country and regain political equality with the Qing state!

"This matter is not something I can consider, if you can live until after the war, you should tell the Japanese government about this idea, and then let the Japanese government talk to the top of the Beiyang! I'm just a soldier, and you also need to show some sincerity to show your submission to our country, otherwise we won't forgive a country that dares to offend the dragon's scales! Yang Yonglin said coldly.
