"It's a very different story. There has been such a large-scale earthquake in our country, and the whole world should sympathize with us and support us. The people of China should also stop their acts of war against us at this time. Even if the people of China refuse to do this. But Britain, France, the United States and other countries, as friends of the Great Japanese Empire, will certainly speak for us on this issue. Yasuya Uchida continued.

The other cabinet ministers nodded their heads one after another, believing that what Uchida Yasuya said was very reasonable. In the event of such a large-scale earthquake in Japan, it would be inhumane for China to continue its war against Japan. Japan can even gain the sympathy and support of the whole world because of this, so that the whole world condemns China and opposes China. In this case, under pressure from all over the world, the Chinese Empire may have to let Japan go. Japan, on the other hand, has undoubtedly escaped this catastrophe. Therefore, this earthquake has caused huge damage to Japan, and it is a major disaster. But at the same time, it also gave Japan a chance to escape.

"Your Excellency's advice is very good! If the Chinese continue to be our enemies at this time, it will be the extermination of humanity. Many powerful countries in Europe and the United States will definitely oppose them. When the time comes, our opportunity will come. Crown Prince Hirohito said with a smile. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect that now it was a desperate situation.

"Uchida-kun, then, according to your wishes, quickly contact the European and American powers and ask for their support. If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it. Masaki Terauchi said. The earthquake caused a large number of civilian casualties and left many people homeless. If the Japanese government wants to help them, it must come up with a large amount of food and other supplies. A lot of supplies are for the army. If it is given to these victims, then. There will be a shortage of supplies for the army. Therefore, it would undoubtedly be best if China could give up the war against Japan as soon as possible.

"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Yasuya Uchida nodded.

"Gentlemen, the current Great Japanese Empire, although it is in a desperate situation. But. I believe that as long as you are united, we will be able to overcome this crisis. As long as we get through this crisis, we have a chance to rise again. Then he will fight to the death with the people of China. Crown Prince Hirohito said. Although, this time, Japan was almost destroyed by China. However, the hatred and anger in his heart towards the Chinese Empire did not diminish at all. In his view, as long as Japan can survive this crisis. There will definitely be time for another decisive battle with China. In the future, as long as China can be defeated. Then, Japan can rise again.

"Hi, Your Highness." The senior officials of the Japanese cabinet hurriedly said.

Japanese Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida sent a telegram to the Japanese ambassadors to Britain, France, and the United States immediately after the meeting, asking them to contact Britain, France, and the United States, hoping that Britain, France, and the United States would provide humanitarian assistance to Japan. Moreover. It was hoped that they would be able to force the Chinese Empire to stop its acts of war against Japan. At the time of the great earthquake in Japan, the Chinese Empire launched such a large-scale war. It's just taking advantage of people's danger, and it's very immoral. All in all, Japan could no longer hold on to the double blow of the Chinese Empire and the earthquake. If Britain, France, and the United States do not want to see Japan perish like this, it is best to hurry up and pull Japan along. Otherwise, Japan will be doomed. And Japan was destroyed. For Britain, France and the United States, it is not good at all. After all, with Japan, the Chinese Empire will be more or less restrained in strength. If there is no Japan, then. The Chinese Empire was free to invade the colonies of various countries on a large scale.

British Prime Minister Andrew Bonner Law convened an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the issue.

"Gentlemen, there was a great earthquake in Japan, and the entire Kanto region was almost flat, and a large number of Japanese civilians died in the earthquake, and more than a million civilians were left homeless. The Japanese government is looking for ways to resettle the victims and save the survivors who are buried in the rubble. However, now a war is breaking out between the Chinese Empire and Japan. The Chinese Navy has completely blockaded the coast of Japan. If we want to rescue Japan, we must break through the blockade of the Chinese navy. Let's talk about it, what should we do now? Prime Minister Andrew Bona Rau said. It is clear that his personal intention is undoubtedly to provide help and support to Japan, preferably to help it through this crisis.

"Your Excellency, this is an excellent opportunity for the British Empire. Before the outbreak of the war, we had already warned the Chinese. However, the Chinese were unmoved by our warnings. After the Chinese Navy defeated the Japanese Navy, we also contacted the Chinese, hoping that they would accept it and spare Japan a way out. However, the Chinese ultimately chose to refuse. It can be seen from this that the Chinese undoubtedly want to use this war to destroy Japan and completely sweep away Japan's containment of the Chinese Empire. However, this is not good news for us. The continued existence of Japan is undoubtedly more advantageous than the destruction of Japan. We should find a way to keep Japan. In this case, it is more in the interests of the British Empire. Said the Foreign Secretary, Count Curzon.

"However, the attitude of the Chinese is very tough, and they forcibly demand the destruction of Japan. Is there any other way we can stop them? That's obviously not realistic. Lord Chancellor Sir Roslyn Williams said.

"Yes, Sir Sir. The attitude of the Chinese is very resolute. To this end, they did not hesitate to threaten the British Empire with force. Now that the British Empire has suffered a heavy blow in strength, it is indeed necessary to try to avoid a war with the Chinese Empire. This time, though, was different. A major earthquake struck Japan, a large number of civilians died, and a large number of innocent civilians are still waiting for rescue. The British Empire, as one of the world's leading powers, should provide humanitarian aid to Japan. And the Chinese Empire, which is also one of the world's powers, stopped the war with Japan at this time and rescued those Japanese civilians, which is the real demeanor of a great power! Count Curzon said.

"Will the Chinese be fooled? Their emperor is no fool. War Secretary Stephen Walsh said.

"Of course, even if the Chinese are unwilling to stop the war, we can ask China to lift the blockade of Japan under the guise of transporting humanitarian supplies." In this way, we will be able to ship a large number of supplies that Japan urgently needs to Japan. Even, including weapons and equipment. When the time comes, if China wants to destroy Japan, it will have to be prepared to pay an even heavier price. This was very advantageous for the British Empire. Count Curzon continued. His purpose is nothing more than two. If China is willing to cease the war, it will undoubtedly be better. In this way, Japan can continue to exist. Even if Japan suffered heavy losses. But as long as Britain and the United States and other countries continue to support Japan, Japan can soon be rearmed. If China is unwilling to stop the war, then they can also use humanitarian aid as an excuse to secretly support Japan to continue the war. Thus, making the Chinese empire pay a greater price in Japan.

"Your Excellency, that's a good idea. I think we can give it a try. After all, even if it fails, it won't have much impact on the British Empire. Chancellor of the Exchequer Stanley Baldwin said.

"Does anyone else have any objections?" Prime Minister Andrew Bona Rau asked.

The rest of the cabinet ministers shook their heads in unison. Obviously, everyone thinks that providing support to Japan in the event of a major earthquake is a good way to help Japan and contain China.

At the same time, U.S. President Calvin Coolidge convened an emergency meeting. There is still only one thing to discuss. That is how to help Japan and make the Chinese empire pay more losses in Japan.

"Your Excellency, Japan is now on the verge of survival. If we didn't help Japan, they would never have survived. On the battlefield, Japan has been defeated by China many times. Their navy had already lost a beating, and the army didn't seem to have much chance of winning. This earthquake hit Japan hard, and we originally planned for Japan to wear down the strength of the Chinese Empire. But now it seems that this simply won't work. Secretary of State Hughes said.

"Damn the Chinese, how can their luck be so good? At this juncture, a major earthquake actually occurred in Japan, didn't this allow the Chinese to easily win the war? President Calvin Coolidge said dissatisfied.

"Gentlemen, what do you think we should do to help Japan now?" President Coolidge asked.

"Your Excellency the President, there is an earthquake in Japan right now, killing and injuring a large number of civilians, and many people are homeless. We can call on the Chinese Empire to stop the war. After all, saving civilians at this time is the most important thing. Secretary of War John W. Weeks said.

President Calvin Coolidge nodded, "That's a good idea." However, it is unlikely that the Chinese will accept it. ”

"Your Excellency the President, we can provide humanitarian assistance to Japan. It is our duty to the United States of America as one of the great powers of the world. Of course, we can also provide Japan with some much-needed weapons and equipment by the way. Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby said with a smile.

"Haha! Weapons and equipment, too, are part of humanitarian aid! President Coolidge laughed. (To be continued.) )
