Uchida Yasuya tried every means, and finally managed to cope with the first day of the meeting. According to his personal opinion, it is best to calculate according to the current naval tonnage of each country, so that everyone will not suffer.
However, he knew that the Admiralty would definitely not agree. They are not satisfied with the "August 8 Plan" currently underway. They are also planning to add two more capital ships to this plan. At this time, they will discuss disarmament. Where is it so simple!
I knew that his first mission as foreign minister was to restrict arms negotiations. If he was killed, he would fight for this position!
It's too late to regret it now. How can it be possible to obtain the consent of all countries and satisfy the country?
According to the requirements of the domestic gangsters, unless they obtain the world's first naval tonnage, it is difficult to satisfy those middle and second-year youngsters!
……
Sometimes Uchida Yasuya wonders, did the idiots of the War Department grow up eating shit?
No matter how great the interests are, it can’t offend all the powerful nations!
What did the Great Japanese Empire gain from the American War?
Except for the army privately snatching back a large amount of spoils, the colonies in hand were forced to hand over them. What is the use of these spoils?
For these spoils, all the diplomatic efforts of previous Japanese governments have been destroyed!
" Yamamoto-kun, immediately send our current situation to the cabinet so that the government can come up with a solution as soon as possible.
told them that all countries are now targeting us. If we don’t handle it properly, I’m afraid the Great Japanese Empire will be destroyed! "Uchida Yasuya said
"There are always people who want to harm me." This is a very Japanese-style politician's thinking. Perhaps it is affected by the frequent eruptions of volcanoes. Their sense of worry is very strong and they often get too nervous.
So their judgment is easy to make mistakes. Especially at the London Conference, although the positions of the governments of various countries were inconsistent, there was no opposition that Japanese politicians imagined.
Britain and France are not tit-for-tat, and Paul and Austria are also in harmony. This is completely different from the international situation they expected.
Originally, the Japanese government tried to use the contradictions between European countries to achieve their political goals. Now the countries are in harmony.
Even on the issue of Japan, everyone always stands together consciously or unconsciously. What should I do?
Even Japan, which was the first to Westernize, could not understand the complicated diplomatic relations between European countries.
If in the Eastern world, Bulgaria and Austro-Hungary were fought to death in the world war, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was forced to cede a large area of territory, they should be enemies forever!
It's a pity that they forgot that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is a multi-ethnic country. The internal contradictions are much more serious than the external contradictions. It is the land of other nationalities. What does it matter to them?
Besides, the struggle between Austria and Hungary is enough for the Vienna government. How could they guide public opinion and let the two countries continue to confront each other?
Contradictions exist, but for the sake of interest, they were completely suppressed by the government. Most of the people's views in this era have not been converted.
Otherwise, Prussia has just fought a battle with Austria and also ceded a large area of Austria’s territory. Not only did the two sides not become feuds, they also formed an alliance in an instant, and they are still very close allies.
In France, where revolutionary ideas are active, it is another ending. For Alsace and Lorraine, Germany and France have directly formed feuds, but in the face of interests, the cooperation between Germany and France is no less!
The same is true for Britain and France. If they started solely from hatred, both of them had fought for hundreds of years. The two sides would have been enemies, but in the end they did not become deadly enemies!
Under the effect of interest, there is both struggle and cooperation between them. The relationship between Britain and France has always changed with changes in interests!
This kind of diplomatic relationship established by the relationship of interest is incompatible with the Eastern society's kind of grievances, and the black and white concept of right and wrong!
……
Uchida Yasuya didn't know how to solve the problem at hand. The same was true for Hara Kei's cabinet. Everyone kicked the ball directly to the Admiralty.
Since you want to expand the army, now you should find a way. As long as all countries can agree to your army expansion, then everything is easy to discuss!
The Minister of the Navy Kato Yusaburo was caught in a very embarrassing situation. The London Conference was originally held to restrict armaments. Under this background, the Japanese Navy wanted to expand its military, and it was a big disaster!
There are more than 20 countries participating in the conference, but unfortunately none of them has a good relationship with the Japanese government, and there is not even one to help raise the flag!
They used to hug the thighs of the British, with the boss covering them, so naturally they would not be targeted.
Now that the Russians are still in the civil war, the United States has been divided, and the existence of Japan has no use value for the British Empire.
The interests determine the position. The former close allies have now become competitors, and the relationship between the two sides will naturally end.
"Marine, you are a professional in this regard, so please come up with a plan that can be accepted by governments of all countries, please!" Prime Minister Hara said.
Kato Yusaburo calculated it in his heart, and finally reluctantly said: "Should we calculate it according to the native population of each country? Or the local coastline?"
Everyone looked at a foolish expression, and the Secretary of the Army Yoshikazu Tanaka sarcastically said: "Since the Marine is so sure, we should let the Foreign Minister come back and send you to participate in the London negotiations!
Presumably, with your three-inch tongue, you can let the British hand over ~ let us do the world hegemony!
Such amazing work, it is the monarch. On behalf of all the people of Japan, please! "
After finishing speaking, Tanaka Yoshiichi bowed to him decently.
Kato Tomomiro gave Tanaka a fierce look. He also knew that his proposal was a bit unreliable.
It can be calculated by population. John Bull will definitely ask for it. If you add the colonized population and then calculate it, then Japan will still suffer.
It is also possible to calculate the length of the coastline, as long as the coastline of the colony is added, Japan is still incomparable.
"Then what do you say? Compared with the European powers, the Great Japanese Empire is far behind. If we don't catch up, will we still have a foothold in the future?" Kato asked Yusaburo.
"Everyone understands these principles, but according to your plan, let alone the future, we can't pass this hurdle now!
How about you go to London and give your suggestions and see which country will support you? "Yiichi Tanaka continued sarcastically
asked the army to give the navy an idea, but he dared to do so. The question is, does the navy dare to use it? In that case, why should he waste his tongue?
"The two are the pillars of the country. Let's stop arguing now. It is better to take a step back, or calculate according to the actual naval tonnage of each country now!" Prime Minister Hara Kei suggested.
"No way!"
"No way!"
This time, Yoshiichi Tanaka and Yusaburo Kato actually 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 still expanding the navy, which has caused dissatisfaction among countries!
What we should do most now is to reduce the tonnage of the navy and eliminate the hostility of countries towards us in order to get rid of our current diplomatic dilemma! "Tan Zhongyi said for tat
"Yoshiichi Tanaka, you scumbag, this is a betrayal of the Empire of Japan!" Kato Yusaburo scolded.
"Idiot, even such a simple international situation can't be seen clearly, can't your navy make a little sacrifice for the empire?" Tanaka Yoshiichi provoked
"Quiet, do you know where this is? You two want to fight, just get out of the fight!" The impatient Prince Suren interrupted the quarrel.
(Remarks: Emperor Taisho suffers from meningitis and part-time mental illness, so he often does ridiculous things.
In order to prevent the emperor from embarrassing the Japanese government, the Prince Sukhito has been regent since 1921. )
"Hi!"
"Hi!"
In addition to reprimanding them, Su Ren also has nothing to do with them. Now he is only the prince, not the emperor of all ages!
is called the regent if it sounds good, but it is a rubber stamp with a high confession. If you want to interfere in the affairs of the country, these politicians will not buy him!
Originally, the authority of the Japanese imperial family was still very high. Unfortunately, after the emergence of Emperor Taisho, the imperial family's majesty was limited to the people, and the high level of Japanese government's awe of the imperial family fell to the bottom!
After a pause, Prince Suren said again: "Anyway, you must come up with a result tonight!
You can think about it, once countries force disarmament standards, can we resist this diplomatic pressure! "
Kato Yusaburo's face changed, can he resist the pressure? Of course not!
If they can resist the diplomatic pressure of various countries, why would they go to the London conference? Is it for self-humiliation?
Once all countries have reached an agreement to force the Japanese government to implement it, there is no need to threaten them with force. Just one economic sanction is enough for them!
"Well, our navy has made concessions, but at least we must keep the tonnage of the seventh floor of the Royal Navy. We have the power to fight the British!" Kato Yusaburo thought for a while and said
"I think if this is the case, our Haixiang will go and talk in person!" Prime Minister Hara Kei sneered
The total tonnage of the Japanese navy is less than one-third of that of the British. After the disarmament, the British navy is required to have seven floors. Isn't that nonsense?
"I'm talking about capital ships, we can make concessions on other warships!" Kato Yusaburo added
"Wake up, Haixiang, don't pretend to be confused here. You also know that this is impossible. If you can keep the Royal Navy's three-tier battleship, even if you make a profit!
Don’t forget, the British are targeting us this time. If you want to choose hard resistance, you have to think about the consequences yourself! "Tanaka Yoshiichi mocked.
"You~"
Yusaburo Kato was so angry that he didn't spit out the following words~EbookFREE.me~ How could he not know these questions?
But the second junior in the Navy is also terrible! Although not as good as the Army, it is enough to make your scalp numb.
The reason why he insisted on insisting, is that he wants the Foreign Minister and the cabinet to blame? It's a pity that everyone is not a fool, so how could he make his wish?
"At least we must keep the proportion of the British in the fourth tier. If it is lower, I can't explain to all the navy officers and soldiers!" Kato Yusaburo said angrily
"We didn't count this question. Your Admiralty also sent people to this meeting. How is the situation, isn't it clear?" Yuan Jing asked rhetorically
The cabinet unites the army, putting pressure on the navy!
Thinking of this, Kato Yusaburo suddenly reacted, but what should I do?
"Well, we'll just wait for the outcome of the London negotiations, anyway, what standard is used to calculate, we don't count it!
It depends on the ability of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It would be great if the British can be persuaded to give up the suppression of us! "Kato Yusaburo said very bachelor
One of the essential talents of politicians-shirk responsibility!
