"Our country, which is governed by you incompetent officials, needs to raise taxes to increase military spending as it is now, step down!" He exclaimed, "I must apologize for your incompetence!" Step! ”

"Never pass!" Another congressman slapped the table vigorously, "Our country has taken out so much military spending from such a humble position, such a backward industry, and such a poor citizen, and our whole country has gritted its teeth to cling to the imperial navy, but you incompetent government officials cannot open up new industries, nor can you effectively develop the industries that can be expanded, and the only thing you will do is to increase military spending!" He said to the excitement, and threw the appropriation brochure in his hand to Ito Hirobumi in the distance, the paper in the booklet was not bound, and when he threw it, the paper flew out, whether it was the House of Nobles on one side or the members of the House of Commons on the other side, most of the people expressed their opposition to the proposal to increase the allocation for the purchase of warships, and the crowd was in turmoil, and everyone followed suit, and threw the paper of the proposal into the middle aisle, and threw it towards Ito Hirobumi, and the snowflakes of paper flew in the air, It's like cherry blossoms fluttering and falling outside the parliament building, "No!" Veto! ”

"The people of Japan are completely tightening their belts, but the government is still proposing such an inhumane plan, and as representatives of the people, we resolutely reject it!"

"No to it! Veto! ”

Seeing such opposition one after another and the pieces of paper that kept falling, Ito Hirobumi turned around expressionlessly, putting those objections behind him, his expression was very firm, and he did not show an annoyed expression, he walked to the rostrum, and bowed to the middle-aged man in a white dress who was sitting at the top and couldn't hold back his anger and was ready to go crazy the next moment, "Your Royal Highness, please don't be angry, this is a reasonable interrogation of the councillor about the government, and it is very correct."

The man in the white dress who was called a prince by Ito Hirobumi was Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace, the adopted son of Emperor Xiaomei, and the brother-in-law of Emperor Meiji, he was born in Kyoto, went to Prussia to study, served as the head of the Central Guards Division, and is now the president of the House of Nobles, he was originally very dissatisfied with the distrust and opposition to the cabinet now, but when Ito Hirobumi said so, he had to calm down his anger, "Okay, Taiko," he treated Ito Hirobumi with an honorific title, "But," he leaned forward slightly, He said to the Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet of Japan, who was standing below, "The Emperor's order must be passed through the Diet!" ”

Ito bowed slightly, and he turned around, "We have to give up some less important things for this country!" He said loudly, and the loud voice suppressed everyone, "The article published by the envoy of Komura in the Asahi Shimbun after accompanying Prince Alcohol of the Qing Kingdom to inspect the exercise of the Beiyang Naval Division, have you forgotten, 'The strength of the Qing Beiyang Fleet is enough to lead Japan for ten years!'" Through the review, it was found that the strength of the Chinese Beiyang Navy was staggering, and its existence was almost insurmountable for the implementation of the imperial mainland policy, and if it could not effectively and rapidly develop the Japanese navy, then otherwise, any great plan would be reduced to powder under the giant cannon of the Beiyang Navy! These are his exact words! Now the Qing Kingdom has temporarily given up on the great opportunity to increase the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division, according to the news, they will not increase the number of warships in three years, this is the best opportunity for our Japanese country! The Beiyang Fleet is only ten years ahead, and if we increase investment in three years, we will definitely be able to increase the speed to surpass the Qing when the Qing State is stagnant! ”

His speech didn't make much difference, and a very silent parliamentarian sat on the side, looked at the parliamentarian who was excited and loud, and shook his head, "Why do you have to treat Qingguo as an imaginary enemy?" Has our country become a victim paranoia? I really don't understand," he said sadly to the parliamentarians beside him, "Our Japanese culture and rules and regulations have all spread from China, and our blood is full of Chinese content, so why do we have to be enemies of the Qing country?" In my opinion, the Qing people are very kind giants, and they will not refuse help from a friendly country. ”

Such words were quickly drowned out in the uproar of the Diet, leaving almost no trace, and all the people fanatically demanded that Japan occupy its rightful place in Asia and even in the world, and the only choice was to increase military spending eagerly, or not so eagerly and slowly increase military spending.

Under such a momentum, the calmness on Ito Hirobumi's face finally disappeared, and when he found that his speech was useless for the parliamentarians, his face became as blue as his cabinet members, and any criticism of the government's failure became a politically correct thing at all times, and it was obvious that most of the members of the two houses would not sell the face of the so-called Speaker of the Prince and the famous Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi, and soon, the resolution came out, The parliamentarians dismissively threw the vetoed paper in front of Hirobumi Ito, "Veto! Veto! The people must not be allowed to pay the price again for the incompetence of the government! ”

The parliamentarians looked at Ito Hirobumi triumphantly, vetoing the proposal to increase military spending this time, Ito Hirobumi stood up and took the bitter veto, turned his head to look at Prince Nohisa of Shirakawa Palace, who was already angry, and shook his head, I don't know why Ito Hirobumi felt a little powerless but a little relieved, yes, the subjects of Japan are really living too hard, as a person, he really can't bear to let his subjects continue to increase the originally very heavy burden.

There was a commotion in the venue, a secretary walked into the parliament hall quickly, and handed a telegram to Ito Hirobumi who looked lonely, Ito Hirobumi opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly became complicated, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, he stood up and said loudly, "According to the notice of the Chinese Premier Yamen, China's newest warship has departed from Qingdao and headed for Nagasaki Port for painting operations!" Gentlemen," he said, looking around at the crowd, "this is a 90 million ton super giant cruiser!" Nine million tons! ”

"It's 90 million tons!"

"How can there be such a huge warship! This is not a dinosaur that can appear in human society at all, dinosaurs! ”

Not everyone in the parliament was opposed to increasing military spending, and everyone began to quarrel with each other again in a state of shock. (To be continued.) )
