"Commander, the Tokugawa family is still unwilling to let go of the military power, but only proposes to buy a large number of flintlock pistols and field cannons produced by our Han Empire, and they are willing to mortgage the future land and minerals of Japan! And ......"

Without waiting for Appado to finish speaking, Mondora waved his hand impatiently and dismissed: "No, no, no, it's not that I don't want to sell, the Tokugawa family must be generous, but that Lieutenant Colonel Wang Gang, you don't know, for a period of time, you have been staring at me, taking what the purpose of the Imperial Staff is to deprive me of the right to negotiate alone, and now that Paplov's people have landed, Wang Gang has no fear of us at all......"

Apardo smiled bitterly and shook his head, the urgency of this chief officer of his own is really ......

Appado waited quietly for Mondora to finish speaking, and continued to add without changing his face: "Sir, not only these, but most importantly, the Tokugawa family is willing to recognize the name of the security force privately formed by our Han Empire!"

Although it will not really support us in forming a Japanese servant army, it will not be secretly obstructed as before, so that the trouble of our recruitment will be reduced by half, and the security force can be expanded with confidence! ”

Mondola sighed lightly, and her mind flipped over the general strategic outline of Japan promulgated by the Imperial General Staff, if it could really be recognized by the Tokugawa family, Wang Gang didn't seem to be able to say anything!

You must know that according to the instructions of Zhao Dutian, the emperor of the Han Empire, after the occupation of Japan, the first major thing is to maintain the feudal system of the shogunate and the suzerainty of Japan, and the second major thing is to use the population resources of Japan to form a large-scale servant army for later use!

In a foreign country with basic independence, a small number of civilian armed forces similar to the police may be fine, but if there is a large-scale formation of front-line combat forces, no independent regime can tolerate it!

Even if the Manchu corrupt government in Zhao Dutian's previous life was defeated again and again by the foreign powers, it was just that there were foreign troops stationed in the country, and the puppet army or something was not recognized by the Manchu regime at all!

Don't think that this recognition is just a nod, even if it is a weak and corrupt government, as long as the government institutions are not destroyed, it has a huge influence on the mainland, without the cooperation of the government, it is not a simple matter to win over the locals to become soldiers, after all, unless the occupation army is in a state of war, otherwise, it is impossible to force the strong Ding!

Once Mondola really went too far, it was a declaration of war!

It is not difficult to defeat the Tokugawa shogunate for the second time, and it is easy to even destroy the Tokugawa family, but it is difficult to clean up such a mess as Japan!

Both Mondola and Wang Gang understood this truth, so in addition to the necessary security forces, without the approval of the Tokugawa shogunate, they simply could not form a large-scale servant army!

Of course, even with the approval of the Tokugawa family, the size of the servant army will be limited, for the simple reason that there is no money!

Recognition does not mean support, after all, the territory occupied by the Han Empire is only a small part, and most of Japan's tax revenue and fiscal revenue are still controlled by the Tokugawa shogunate and local daimyos, which can not be reversed even if Mondora is greedy.

As an outsider, there are only two ways to obtain the financial support of Japan to build and massively expand the servant army, one is that the Han Empire suddenly bursts out with hundreds of thousands of troops, bulldozing all the Japanese rebels along the way and firmly occupying all the towns, and has enough manpower and energy to form a new colonial government and completely annex Japan!

In this way, all the wealth of Japan is naturally the Han Empire, but Zhao Dutian is very skeptical, if this is the case, whether Japan's income can be compared with the expenditure of governing Japan is still the same thing......

If you reap the benefits of brainless exploitation and oppression of Japanese civilians, then the Han Empire is waiting for endless peasant uprisings!

Therefore, the first option was denied from the very beginning, the country of Japan was too barren and too populated to be worthy of complete occupation and domination!

The second method is very simple and affordable, there is no money, can't you just let the Tokugawa shogunate take the initiative to send it?

This is actually similar to the Tokugawa shogunate's surrender of military power......

Unless it reached the point of exhaustion, the Tokugawa family would never do that!

Therefore, Mondora felt that it was a big step forward to be recognized by the Tokugawa family and expand the security forces into regular servant troops!

"How much arms does the Tokugawa family want to buy?"

"With at least 100 new guns, 5,000 flintlock pistols, and plenty of ammunition, the Tokugawa clan is gathering new troops on the Nagoya Minami Shinano line to resist the invasion of the Southwest Coalition!

This batch of munitions was prepared to arm the new army of the Tokugawa family, and they seem to have sensed that the old army could not resist the Southwest Coalition and wanted to learn from us in all aspects, but they only asked for these ...... due to financial constraints."

Appado analyzed.

"That's so much, by the way, are there a lot of flintlock pistols and artillery in the Southwest Coalition Army?"

"The Southwest Coalition bought a lot of flintlock pistols from the Dutch and Spaniards at a high price, and there were also several European artillery, which is one of the reasons why the main shogunate was defeated head-on in the first war!

The commander of the Southwest Coalition Army attaches great importance to firearms, and greatly strengthens the ratio of iron cannons and big guns in the army! ”

After hearing this, Mondora's face changed, as if she had made up her mind, and ordered: "Apador, you go and make arrangements, I will leave for the Yokohama Port base today to meet Wang Gang and Pavlov!" ”

"Yes, Commander!"

Just when the Southwest Coalition Army was expanding its armaments by supporting the Emperor's righteousness, the Tokugawa Shogunate also tried its best to rebuild the defense line, trying to block the advance of the Southwest Coalition Army!

Skirmishes between the two sides continued to occur, and since the main force of the Southwest Coalition Army did not move, the shogunate army was bent on defense, and the two sides entered the stage of confrontation!

And the day after Mondora met with Wang Gang and Paplov, 5,000 flintlock pistols and hundreds of artillery pieces, along with ammunition that could sustain a battle, began to be delivered to the Tokugawa family!

Except for the absence of explosive shells in the artillery ammunition, the other equipment is not much different from the active weapons of the Han Empire!

After getting such a large number of weapons and equipment, the Tokugawa family really recognized the fact that the Han Empire recruited servant troops in the occupied areas, and the landing force of the Han Empire, centered on Yokohama Town, through the support of the Japanese wealthy surrender faction led by the growing Shimahito family, vigorously recruited Japanese young and strong, which took refuge in the Japanese frustrated samurai as grassroots officers, and Han Chinese and Indian instructors as middle and high-level military officers, and quickly formed a division-level Japanese servant army!
