Perhaps the biggest winner at the Washington conference was the Japanese, who withdrew from the conference the day after it began. With the manipulation of public opinion by the United States and Great Britain, Japan has become almost synonymous with a weak and small country. And the Chinese Empire became a powerful country that viciously oppressed the weak. This has given rise to many more Japanese sympathizers in the international community. Britain and the United States have also said in due course that they will provide Japan with a low-cost loan as soon as possible, so that Japan can get out of its economic predicament as soon as possible. In fact, this loan was simply given to the Japanese to expand their armaments and prepare for their future war to the death with the Chinese Empire.

Otherwise, with Japan's current poor financial and economic strength, even if those warships were built, the cost of maintenance and maintenance would be enough to collapse Japan's finances. What's more, once Japan and China fight, a large amount of war materials will need to be consumed, and Japan will need to store them first. Otherwise, once the war begins and the Chinese navy blockades Japan, Japan will not receive any assistance. Unless the Japanese Navy is able to defeat the Chinese Navy, it will be possible to lift the blockade.

Because Masaki Terauchi, Yasuya Uchida, and Rokuro Yashiro left Washington the next day and took the train to San Francisco. After that, he left the West Coast of the United States on a Japanese warship and returned to Japan. When they arrived in Tokyo, tens of thousands of Japanese braved the rain to meet them at the pier. Under the media propaganda controlled by the Japanese government, Terauchi Masashi and others have completely become Japanese warriors who are not afraid of power and dare to fight.

This makes Terauchi Masatake, Uchida Yasuya and Yakuro Yashiro Yashiro almost out of the limelight, and their prestige in Japan is also increasing day by day. For Japan, which is in economic difficulty, it is necessary to unite the people at home and let them deal with the Chinese Empire together. That would undoubtedly be very useful.

Only three days after Terauchi Masatakeshi and others returned to Japan, news came that the Washington Conference had concluded successfully, and the original texts of the "Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Armaments" and the "Four-Power Pact" were present in the hands of the Japanese cabinet ministers word for word. Upon learning that the Chinese Empire had agreed to abandon the construction of the Pangu-class battleships, the Japanese cabinet was almost in ecstasy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the people of China are dizzy. They will inevitably lose the future naval battles. The Great Japanese Empire will win! Japan's Minister of the Navy, Rokuro Hachishiro, said to the other cabinet ministers in an extremely arrogant manner.

In his opinion, it is undoubtedly extremely unwise and stupid for the Chinese to choose to abandon the construction of Pangu-class battleships and instead obtain the same quota of 500,000 tons of capital ships as Britain and the United States. Even if the Chinese Navy gets the same quota of 500,000 tons of capital ships as Britain and the United States, it even has 45,000 tons more aircraft carriers than Britain and the United States. But once the Japanese Navy's 'Yamato-class' battleships were commissioned, what did the Chinese Navy use to resist? By the time the Amagi-class battlecruisers are commissioned, the Japanese Navy will have an overwhelming advantage. When the time comes, the Japanese Navy will definitely defeat the Chinese Navy. Won the naval battle. Once China loses this naval battle, then China's hard work over the past 10 years will be completely in vain. Japan will continue to climb on China's shoulders.

Of course, even if the Japanese Navy can win, it does not mean that Japan will be able to destroy China. After all, China's army is much more powerful than Japan's. If the Japanese Army landed on the mainland again, it was estimated that there would be only one dead end.

"Yes! The Chinese are still too weak. They already have such power, and they will still be threatened and persecuted by ghosts such as Britain and the United States. If it were an empire, there would never be such a situation. Therefore, the Chinese are simply not fit to be the leaders of the Far East, only the Great Japanese Empire has this qualification. Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida also said.

The great strength of the Chinese Empire has already made the Japanese very covetous. In their opinion, if Japan had such strength. Perhaps they have already dominated the world. However, the Chinese Empire did not have such great power, but it was willing to be persecuted by Britain and the United States. In the eyes of the Japanese, this is really too spineless.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in general. This time our trip to the United States was very successful. The Chinese successfully fell into the trap of the Americans and signed the "Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Armaments" with other countries, so that their hands and feet were tied. On the other hand, the Empire of Japan withdrew from the Washington Conference, and our capital ships were able to continue to be built. Moreover, the support of Britain and the United States will not be less. In this case, when our 'Yamato-class' battleships and 'Amagi-class' battleships are commissioned, they should be able to suppress the Shina people, right? Masaki Terauchi asked.

"Your Excellency, the Yamato-class battleships and the Amagi-class battlecruisers will be commissioned by the Imperial Japanese Empire with eight cutting-edge battleships and five battlecruisers. With the exception of the battlecruiser Hiei, the main guns of the rest of the capital ships were all of more than 400 mm in caliber. In particular, the 460 mm guns of the Yamato-class battleships are capable of becoming the most powerful warships in the world. On the other hand, the British, although they won a quota of 500,000 tons of capital ships. However, they abandoned the most powerful 'Pangea-class' battleships. Most of the remaining capital ships can also be retained, and it is estimated that only the earliest 'Longteng-class' battleships and 'Longyao-class' battlecruisers will be dismantled. Therefore, the main force of the China Navy in the future, Britain is three 'Three Emperor-class' battleships, two 'Pinghai-class' battleships, five 'Five Emperor-class' battlecruisers, four 'Zhonghua-class' battlecruisers, two 'Longxing-class' battleships and two 'Longfei-class' battlecruisers. In total, there are only eighteen capital ships. Although, in terms of numbers, there were five more ships than the Great Japanese Empire. However, in terms of quality, it is absolutely not comparable to the Great Japanese Empire. In the future naval battles, we have already hard-topped. Rokuro Yashiro patted his chest and reassured.

"Yes, the total tonnage of the capital ships of the Shina people's navy is only 500,000 tons, while the total tonnage of the Imperial Japanese Navy is 600,000 tons, which is 100,000 tons ahead of the Chinese!" Naval Commander Suo Shimamura also said.

"Gentlemen, it seems that everyone is in good spirits and at the same time very informative, which is really good. From this, it can undoubtedly be seen that the future victory must be in the hands of the Empire. Masaki said with a smile.

The other cabinet ministers also nodded their heads one after another. The situation in Japan right now is undoubtedly very bad. People are living in poverty, but the government is developing its military strength with all its might, which has made people's living conditions even worse. Fortunately, the Americans and the British were willing to provide huge support to Japan in order to contain China. Otherwise, Japan will have 10,000 tons.

"When will the 'Yamato-class' battleships and the 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers be able to enter service? No one dares to guarantee that the people of China will not start in advance? If that's the case, it could have a fatal impact on our plans. Lu Xiang Ishimoto Shinroku asked.

Of course, Shiroku Ishimoto knew that defeating the Chinese Navy was their only chance to turn the tables around. So even though he knew that the cabinet was fully supporting the Navy. Constantly compressing the military budget of the Japanese Army, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach! Even, Shiroku Ishimoto hoped that the navy would be able to defeat the Chinese navy. In this way, after receiving a huge war reparation, the Japanese Army will be able to at least share a little bit of money. This enabled the Japanese Army, which was suffering unspeakably, to achieve a certain degree of development.

"At present, the construction of the 'Yamato-class' battleships and the 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers is in full swing. However, the Yamato-class battleships are the largest ships we have ever built, and it will take a lot of time, and it is expected that they will be commissioned within three years. As for the Amagi-class battlecruisers, they need to be a little further back. "In order to ensure the smooth completion of the 'Yamato-class' battleships, the Japanese Navy invested almost half of its materials and manpower in the construction of the 'Yamato-class' battleships. The construction of the Amagi-class battlecruisers was also affected to a certain extent as a result. However, the Japanese don't care so much anymore. They need to build the Yamato-class battleships as soon as possible. In this way, their safety will be guaranteed.

"Outside of the service of our 'Yamato-class' battleships, the United States will find a way to provide us with security. If the Chinese want to use force against us in advance, they will be met with strong resistance from Britain and the United States, for example. At the end of the day, they may even go to war because of this. Then, the Great Japanese Empire might be able to become a fisherman, and then win the final victory at the lowest cost. Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida said.

The Japanese still believe in the security of Britain and the United States. After all, they have no other way. As for the United States and Britain, as long as they do not want to watch China annihilate Japan and lose China's containment, this will undoubtedly pose a huge threat to the interests of the United States and judges in the Pacific and the Far East.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have won this meeting. However, the pressure on us is still not small. Only after we can completely defeat the Chinese, we can bring out of the current predicament. Gentlemen, please work with me! Long live the Great Japanese Empire! Masaki shouted in the temple.

"Long live, long live the Great Japanese Empire!" The other cabinet ministers also shouted loudly. (To be continued.) )
