Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 63, Infighting

Yasushi Uchida tried every means, and finally managed to cope with the first day of the meeting. According to his personal thoughts, it is best to calculate according to the existing naval tonnage of each country, so that no one suffers.

However, he knew that the Admiralty would definitely not agree. They were not satisfied with the "Eighth-Eighth Plan" currently underway, and planned to add two more battleships in addition to this plan. At this time, discuss disarmament with them. How can it be so simple!

If I knew that my first mission as foreign minister was to limit arms negotiations, I would kill him to fight for this position!

It is too late to regret it now, that is, it is necessary to obtain the consent of various countries and to satisfy the domestic satisfaction. How is this possible?

According to the requirements of the uncles in the country, unless they obtain the world's largest naval tonnage, it is difficult to satisfy those middle and second-year juniors!

...

Sometimes Uchida Yasushi is thinking, did the idiots of the 6th Army all grow up eating shit?

No matter how great the interests are, they can't offend all the powerful countries!

The American War, what did the Empire of Japan gain?

In addition to the loot that the 6th Army snatched back privately, all the colonies they got had to be handed over. What was the use of these loot?

For these spoils, all the diplomatic efforts of the successive Japanese governments were all destroyed!

"Yamamoto-kun, immediately send our current situation to the cabinet, and let the government come up with a solution as soon as possible.

Tell them that all countries are targeting us now, and if we don't handle it well, I'm afraid the Great Japanese Empire will be wiped out! " Uchida Yasushi said.

"There are always bad people who want to harm me\

,"This is very Japanese-style politicians' thinking, perhaps because of the frequent explosion of volcanoes, their sense of urgency is very strong, and they are often too nervous.

Therefore, their judgments can easily be misunderstood. Especially at the London meeting, although the positions of various governments were inconsistent, there was no confrontation as imagined by Japanese politicians.

Britain and France did not face tit-for-tat, and the two countries were in harmony, which was completely different from the international situation they expected.

Originally, the Japanese government also attempted to use the contradictions among European countries to achieve their political goals, but now the countries are in harmony.

Even on the issue of Japan, everyone always stands together intentionally or unintentionally. What should I do?

Even Japan, the earliest Westernized country, could not understand the complex diplomatic relations between European countries.

If in the eastern world, Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary were fighting to the death in the world war, and Austria-Hungary was forced to cede a large area of ​​territory, they should be eternal enemies!

It is a pity that they forgot that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was a multi-ethnic country, and internal conflicts were more serious than external ones.

Besides, the struggle between Austria and Hungary is enough for the Vienna government to endure. How could they guide public opinion and allow the two countries to continue to face each other?

Contradictions exist, but for the sake of profit, they are completely suppressed by the government, and most people's ideas in this era have not been converted.

Otherwise, it would not have happened that Prussia had just fought a war with Austria and ceded a large area of ​​Austrian territory. Not only did the two sides not become a feud, but they also formed an alliance in the blink of an eye, and they were still very close allies.

In France, where revolutionary thinking is active, it is another ending. For Alsace and Lorraine, Germany and France directly formed a deadly feud, but in the face of interests, there is no less cooperation between Germany and France!

The same is true of Britain and France. If it was purely out of hatred, both of them have fought a war for hundreds of years, and the two sides have long been feuding with blood, but as a result, they have not become mortal enemies!

Under the influence of interests, they both fight and cooperate. The relationship between Britain and France has always changed with the change of interests!

This kind of diplomatic relationship established by interests is incompatible with the grievances and grievances of Eastern society, which are black and white.

...

Yasushi Uchida didn't know how to solve the problem at hand, and the same was true of the Hara Kei cabinet. Everyone kicked the ball directly to the Navy Department.

Since it is you who want to expand the army, then it is up to you to find a way. As long as you can get all countries to agree to your army expansion, then everything can be discussed!

The Minister of the Navy, Tomosanro Kato, fell into a very embarrassing situation. The London Conference was originally convened to limit armaments. Against this background, the Japanese Navy wanted to expand its military.

There are more than 20 countries participating in the meeting, but unfortunately none of them have a good relationship with the Japanese government, and I can't even find a single one to help raise the flag!

In the past, they hugged the British's thighs tightly, and they were covered by the boss, so naturally they wouldn't be targeted.

Now the Russians are still in civil war, the United States has been divided, and the existence of Japan has no use value for the British Empire.

Interests determine the position, the original close allies have now become competitors, and the relationship between the two sides will naturally be over.

"Haixiang, you are a professional in this regard, then please come up with a plan that can be accepted by governments of all countries, please!" Yuan Jingxiang said.

Kato Yusaburo thought it over in his heart, and finally said helplessly: "Should it be calculated according to the local population of each country? Or the local coastline?"

Everyone looked at a fool, and the 6th Army Minister Tanaka Yoshiichi sarcastically said: "Since the Minister of the Sea is so sure, why don't we let the Foreign Minister come back and send you to participate in the London negotiation instead!

Presumably with your three-inch tongue, you can let the British hand over the position of the world hegemony to us!

This kind of unparalleled achievement is none other than you. On behalf of all the great Japanese people, please! "

After speaking, Tanaka Yoshiichi gave him a decent bow.

Kato Yuzaburo glared at Yoshi Tanaka, and he also knew that his proposal was a little unreliable.

It can be calculated by population. John Bull will definitely ask for it. If you add the colonized population and calculate it, then Japan is still at a disadvantage.

It can also be calculated by the length of the coastline, as long as the coastline of the colony is added, Japan is still incomparable.

"Then what do you mean by calculation? Compared with the European powers, the Japanese Empire is already far behind. If we don't catch up, will we still have a foothold in the future?" Kato Yusaburo asked rhetorically.

"Everyone understands these great principles, but according to your plan, don't talk about the future, we won't be able to pass this one right now!

Why don't you go to London and try it out, put forward your suggestions and see which country will support you? "Yiichi Tanaka continued sarcastically.

Let the 6th Army give advice to the navy, he dares to do it, the question is whether the Admiralty dares to use it? In that case, why should he waste his words?

"Both of them are the pillars of the country. Let's stop arguing now. It's better to take a step back, or calculate according to the actual naval tonnage of each country!" Yuan Jingxiang suggested.

"no!"

"no!"

This time, Yoshiichi Tanaka and Yusaburo Kato gave the same answer, which surprised everyone.

"The navy of the Empire of Japan is too small to protect our interests at all!" said Yusaburo Kato.

"No, I think on the contrary, our navy is too large, and we are continuing to expand the navy, causing dissatisfaction from all countries!

The most important thing we should do now is to reduce the tonnage of the navy and eliminate the hostility of various countries to us in order to get rid of our current diplomatic dilemma! "Yoshiichi Tanaka said tit for tat.

"Yiichi Tanaka, you bastard, this is a betrayal of the Empire of Japan!" Kato Yusaburo scolded angrily
