Chapter 707 Japan's Choice (1)

"What did the ambassadors of Komura, Britain, France, and the United States say?"

"The three countries all recommend that we negotiate with East China ** as soon as possible and accept the conditions of East China **."

"What? Shameless, Britain and France have betrayed us without permission to negotiate with China."

"Yes! Britain and France are all countries without a sense of honor. They pay compensation from China and cede territory and seek peace. We, Japan, must not do this!"

"The United States is a coward who only dares to hide behind the scenes and use some small means, but does not dare to do big things. How can such a country be qualified to issue orders to us?"

Komura Sutaro looked very embarrassed and said, "They did not give us orders. This is just a suggestion, and..."

"The advice is not good either, they are not qualified to make suggestions to Japan."

"Yes, we Japan doesn't need Britain, France, the United States, we don't need them."

Seeing the cabinet meetings in chaos, Kanetaro made a table and said, "Everyone, please be quiet, quiet, everyone, listen to Komura Kwan finish his words first."

The venue finally settled down, and Sutaro Komura said again: "The United Kingdom, France and the United States also promised that if we hold negotiations with the East China **, they can help us put pressure on the East China ** and lower the requirements of the East China **. If we finally pay compensation to the East China **, they can also provide Japan with payment for goods, and will help Japan carry out post-war reconstruction after the war, although they restore national strength." After a pause, he said: "There is also Germany, who expressed his willingness to mediate us and the East China **, but also required us to accept the conditions for compensation to the East China **. This is the prerequisite for their mediation."

"What? Why do they think Japan will pay compensation!"

"Damn it! Britain and France themselves have paid compensation to China. Why should we help us put pressure on China?"

"Shameful! We also have to provide us with loans. This time we were originally fighting for Britain. They first betrayed Japan and wanted to continue to control Japan through loans and plunder Japan's wealth?"

"What is Germany? Why do they require us to accept the terms of compensation to China? If Germany wants to mediate, then China should make compensation to us."

"Yes, we should be the winners of this war, and it was China that stole our victory."

"Yes, it was China that stole our victory."

The venue that had been quieted was a mess again because Komura Sutaro's final speech was in chaos. Kamitaro asked the venue to be quiet several times, but this time the results were not great. Others still did their own things, either scolding, laughing, being passionate, or being indignant. Komura Sutaro's speech could not continue, so they could only sit down with a smile on their faces.

In the venue, except for Kitaro and Komura Sutaro, only Hirofumi Ito and Ayama Prefecture did not participate in the quarrel, but they all just smiled bitterly.

After receiving the news that Britain and France held negotiations with East China, Japan was quite angry because Britain and France had always advocated a tough stance against East China and asked the five expedition forces not to negotiate separately with East China. However, now the two countries are holding negotiations with East China, which makes Japan feel betrayal. Japan has also protested to the two countries, but Britain and France responded that this was a decision made by the parliament and that the two countries must implement it, and they can only express regrets to Japan. Of course, they also said that Britain and France will continue to support Japan and Russia.

At this time, Hirofumi Ito also felt that the situation was serious. Once the negotiations between Britain and France and East China were successful, the situation would be even more unfavorable to Japan. Moreover, according to the investigation report provided by Naotao Miyamoto and other relevant information that Hirofumi Ito himself possessed, the situation in Japan is indeed quite bad now.

During the Battle of Nodeng Peninsula, Japan was crippled by the landed People's Army and completely lost the ability to defeat the People's Army.

But after the Expeditionary Force sent troops, the Japanese ** saw hope again, so despite the fact that Japan's economy had basically collapsed, not only rebuilt these 4 divisions, but also 2 new divisions, so that the total number of Japanese local divisions was now 16 divisions, preparing to relieve the Japanese crisis after the Expeditionary Force arrived in Asia, and then counterattack the East China ** with the help of the Expeditionary Force fleet.

However, Japan's economy has basically collapsed and is completely supported by external aid. The East China blockade from the sea has greatly reduced Japan's foreign aid. Although Japan has tried its best to ensure the military's tribute, it is still beyond its reach. Now it can only ensure the configuration of rifles. However, the average number of bullets per soldier is less than 10 rounds, and the artillery has a large amount of shortages. Because it is large and medium-caliber artillery, which is less than 30% of the normal organization. One is that Japan does not have enough materials, so it can only choose rifles with less consumables. The second is that the amount of shells of the artillery is also seriously insufficient, so Japan also destroyed a batch of large and medium-caliber artillery and changed it to ****. At least one rifle cannon can fight. Even if there is no bullet, it can be used as a spear with a bayonet. If the artillery has no shells, it is basically nothing.

But in this way, it became even more difficult for the Japanese people, and the cities were slightly better. In most rural areas of Japan, almost all the cooking was completely cut off. Even the wild vegetables in the fields, the birds and beasts in the mountains, and the fishing shrimps and crabs in the rivers were dug up. In some places with severe disasters, there were even "rice riots". Moreover, the People's Army launched a raid on the sea in Japan, which caused chaos in Japan's local order. Many bold and arrogant people took the opportunity to fight and rob the house.

In the past, wherever the People's Army went, Japanese residents fled everywhere, fearing that they would be captured by the People's Army. But now that the People's Army has come, the Japanese have stopped running away. Almost all stay at home and wait for the People's Army to arrest him, and do not resist. There are even many Japanese who take the initiative to surrender to the People's Army and are willing to be captured by the People's Army. The reason is very simple. With the People's Army, at least two meals can be ensured every day. Although they may not eat enough, they will not starve to death. However, not everyone in the People's Army will accept all of them. They mainly collect men and women in the middle ages between 20 and 40, followed by teenagers between 10 and 20 years old, and even young people don't want the old. After all, when the People's Army arrests people, they are used as labor, not charity work.

Several years later, the Japanese who were plundered to China had completely dissolved into Chinese society, got married and started a family in China, gave birth to children, and some people also made a fortune because of their intelligence and hard work. At the same time, China also recognized the identities of these people and gave them Chinese nationality. Japan repeatedly accused China of plundering a large number of people from Japan during the Far East War, and in special institutions of the ** and civil organizations, demanding China apologize to Japan and provide state compensation. China insisted that it did not plunder the population from Japan, but because all industries in Japan were withered at that time and the people could no longer live, so it mainly surrendered to the People's Army to seek asylum. The East China ** at that time took these people in order to take them back to China for humanitarian considerations, so it took them to live and work in China, etc., which became an enduring topic in the international community.

However, the current situation naturally made Hirofumi Ito understand that Japan is in crisis everywhere, and if you are not careful, it will be a disaster. Therefore, Japan must not continue to be tough on East China. It must also hold negotiations with East China as soon as possible, even if you pay compensation, you will be willing to pay. Moreover, the sooner the negotiations start, the less losses Japan will suffer. So Hirofumi Ito immediately met with Ayuto Yama Prefecture, hoping to reach a consensus with Ayuto Yama Prefecture. Only in this way can Yama Prefecture suppress the army's red deer, thereby clearing the obstacles to negotiations with Ayuto Yama Prefecture.

Although Yama Prefecture Akito takes power with the army, he is also a clear-headed person. He also knows that the current situation is not good for Japan. If the war continues with East China, Japan has no chance of winning at all. Therefore, although it has different political views from Ito Hirofumi, he also agrees with Ito Hirofumi's proposal, and the two sides have reached an end. After the war, Katsutaro's cabinet will definitely step down. Ito Hirofumi will recommend Yama Prefecture Akitomi once again as prime minister and re-establish the cabinet. Ito Hirofumi will also come back to serve as foreign minister and be responsible for Japan's foreign affairs.

Of course, this condition is beneficial to Yama Prefecture Yuto. Not only can you continue to take power after the war, but you can also turn the most troublesome diplomatic affairs to Ito Hiromitsu. Therefore, there is naturally no reason not to accept it. However, Yama Prefecture Yutomitsu did not directly agree to Ito Hiromitsu's request, but only said that he would do his best.

Although the Japanese Army was founded by Yuto Yama Prefecture, and in order to achieve its own goal of power, Yuto Yama Prefecture has continuously expanded the power of the Mainland Army and promoted extreme ideas in the army. Now Yuto Yama Prefecture has indeed achieved his goal. Whether he or not he has the power to play a serious role in Japan, no one can underestimate it.

But Yupeng, Shanxian, was also very clear that although he relied on the strength of the Army Department to gain supreme power, he also cultivated the monster of the Army intentionally or unintentionally. Now that the monster has completely grown up, he may not be able to command it as much as his armies, because the extreme thoughts in the army have become mainstream, and Youpeng, Lianshan, cannot control himself. Once Youpeng's behavior deviates from this idea, he may not be able to be backfired by this monster.
