Shunsuke Nakamura said: "If we just pursue personal achievements, the current situation is indeed good, but this is not our original intention. What we are pursuing is the strength of Japan."

Naotaku Miyamoto said: "Of course we haven't forgotten, but now we can't control the situation in Japan. There are too few things we can do."

When Shunsuke Nakamura heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and said, "We have to wait until we control the situation in Japan, then we have to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month."

Naota Miyamoto shook his head and said, "You don't have to be too pessimistic. Although Japan's defeat this time is very bad, it may not be a good thing. At least it can make those politicians pay attention to East China **, and don't think that war can solve everything. In addition, it can also make politicians pay attention to our opinions, which is good for our status improvement. Now Hirobuki Ito's trust in me has been greatly improved. Although it cannot be said to be obedient, as long as it is the suggestion I put forward, he will consider it very seriously."

Kobayashi Koichi nodded and said, "It's true. I pay more attention to Fukushima Yamasato. I have notified me that in three months, I will be promoted to Nakasa and transfer me to the General Staff. What about you?"

Naotao Miyamoto said: "Haifumi Ito suggested that I withdraw from the army and move into politics, and arrange for me to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to serve as the second-official officer of Foreign Affairs."

After hearing this, Shunsuke Nakamura was quite interested and said, "Did you promise not to have a chance?"

Miyamoto Naotao said: "I said I would consider it and discuss it with you."

Shunsuke Nakamura said: "I think this is great. Both of you work in the army and are both in intelligence work. The position is too duplicate. In addition, the space for intelligence work is limited after all. However, Kobayashi can be transferred to the General Staff to serve. This is a good opportunity to win the position of the Minister of the Army or Chief of Staff in the future. It is also good for Miyamoto to transfer to the political arena. If we want to control Japan, we still need to develop in the political circle. However, Hirofumi Ito arranges Le to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is not the best choice. In the future, although foreign affairs are very important, Japan will always focus on internal affairs."

Kobayashi Mitsuichi also said: "I also think it's better for Miyamoto to move to the political circle, so that we have people in both the military and political circles. Not only can we take care of each other, but we can also resolve conflicts between Japan's military and political circles in the future. As for the position of a secondary official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I think it's possible to take it slowly. After all, the position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a good starting point. And now, we can do a lot of things in diplomatic affairs. Hirofumi Ito has adopted your suggestions to provoke conflicts between East China ** and Britain, the United States, France and Russia, and Japan hides behind these countries to get along with each other and seeks profits for itself, which requires a lot of diplomatic work."

But Shunsuke Nakamura shook his head and said, "These things are not something that you have to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is not easy to provoke conflicts between East China and Britain, the United States, France and Russia, and wars are not easy. The leaders of Britain, the United States, France and Russia are not idiots. Even if they succeed, it will take 10 or 20 years. It is really not cost-effective to waste time on this matter."

After hearing this, Naotao Miyamoto nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Hirofumi Ito again."

Kobayashi said: "But how to provoke conflicts between East China ** and Britain, the United States, France and Russia, I suddenly thought of a solution. If it can be done well, they might fight immediately. Do you think it's okay?"

Miyamoto Naotao said: "Oh! What is the solution? Tell me first."

Kobayashi said: "Please think seriously. If Britain, the United States, France and Russia know that overseas Chinese are actually a group of time travelers from the future more than 100 years later, their warships represent the most advanced military and technological level in more than 100 years later, what do you think the Congresses of Britain, the United States, France, Russia and others think?"

Shunsuke Nakamura said: "No one would believe such words, and he would only treat those who say such words as madmen."

Kobayashi said: "Let's not discuss whether to believe or not, just think that they will believe it, so what actions will they take?"

Shunsuke Nakamura was stunned for a moment, and finally thought about it seriously according to Kobayashi Koichi's idea, and then said: "I'm afraid they will immediately put aside all the contradictions, unite them all, and eliminate East China first, because the reason is very simple. If you are sure that overseas Chinese are time travelers and also bring advanced weapons to the future, once overseas Chinese develop and manufacture advanced weapons to the future, then not only will no country be an opponent of time travelers, but all countries are united, and it is impossible for them to be time travelers.

The opponents can only wait to be conquered by time travelers one by one. On the contrary, taking advantage of the current situation, the overseas Chinese have not yet developed, and all countries join forces to destroy time travelers first. Not only can they relieve their worries, but they can also obtain advanced military science and technology in the future. It is cost-effective no matter how you look at it. The question is how can all countries believe it? In addition, if you really destroy East China **, with the current capabilities of Japan, you may not be able to gain much benefit. At that time, other countries will develop with future technologies, and Japan will still be at the bottom."

At this time, Miyamoto Naotaku had basically understood Kobayashi Mitsuichi's intention and said, "It may not be impossible. East China ** defeated the Expeditionary Fleet mainly because of the modern weapons they brought. I guess the Expeditionary Fleet was probably lost inexplicably. If someone who knew the details came out to explain it specifically at this time, even if he didn't believe it all, he would always be a little skeptical. In this way, there will always be a country to verify it and catch a few time travelers to go back for interrogation. This is not too difficult, so I believe that the possibility of time travel is also quite large."

Kobayashi said: "We just know these details, and we don't need to come forward. We just need to disclose some relevant information in the newspaper. Don't forget that there are Anderson in the United States. They have more people than us and are doing better in the United States. I guess they won't want to see East China** dominate the world in the future. If we work together like this, the chances of success will be greater. As for the fact that Nakamura Jun is worried about, Japan won't get much benefits, I don't think this is a big problem, because people in this era may not understand what is truly valuable. Secondly, when necessary, we can provide protection for time travelers."

Naotao Miyamoto nodded and said, "Kun Kobayashi, you have a great grasp of the success of this plan, but it takes a complete plan. It may take several years to complete, so there is no need to rush for a moment. In addition, although the situation in Japan is not good, the most dangerous time has passed, and there is no need to destroy East China ** immediately. Moreover, there will be no other things during this period. We still have a lot of time to get together, so we can negotiate slowly."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"What! You don't want to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"Yes, sir, I think Japan's top priority is internal affairs, especially restoring national strength. Although foreign affairs are important, they are not the foundation of Japan. I just hope to do more things for Japan!"

"Well, then what do you want to work in that department?"

"I want to go to the Ministry of Rural Affairs."

"oh!"

The Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce is in charge of Japan's agriculture, commerce, mining, industry, post delivery and other affairs. It is equivalent to a collection of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Industry and Mining. Although the administrative power is not great, it controls the entire Japanese economy, industry and mining lifeline. In the old time and space, it was divided into agriculture, forestry, commerce and industry provinces until 1925 (the 14th year of Taisho).

However, at this time, Japan's development direction has always been mainly military and expansion, rather than economic development. Therefore, although the main labor force of the Ministry of Rural Affairs is to find ways to make money for Japan, the voice in the cabinet is not loud. However, Japan's domestic economy is basically collapsed, and for a considerable time in the future, it will be mainly restored to national strength. Hirofumi Ito also reached an agreement with Aritomo Yama Prefecture. In the next two years, the military expenditure will be reduced to less than 20% of fiscal revenue, and in the third year it will only increase to 25%. In the future Japanese political landscape, the Ministry of Rural Affairs will have an increasingly greater role.

Hirobuki Ito said: "Miyomoto, you want to do more for Japan, and the idea of ​​doing more is good, but I think you can better play your abilities in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although the Ministry of Rural Affairs is also important, you don't seem to have much performance in this regard."

Miyamoto Naotao said: "That's because I haven't done this before, and I haven't shown my ability in this area."

Hirobuki Ito said: "So tell me, what do you think you have when you go to work in the Ministry of Rural Affairs?"

Naotao Miyamoto said: "Japan's position should be circulation and processing of incoming materials, and attract foreign investment. After the victory of the Far East War, the East China ** has obtained huge compensation. Therefore, it will definitely be a period of economic development. A large number of foreign equipment technology will be introduced and a large number of resources and raw materials will be exported. Japan is the closest island country to the East China **. Moreover, the Meiji Restoration has laid a good foundation for Japan and can be used as a transit station. The equipment technology that countries need to enter, as well as the resources and raw materials exported by China are all turned over in Japan, and can even be processed and manufactured. If the machinery and equipment purchased for China can be directly produced or assembled in Japan, the resources and raw materials exported by China are processed in Japan, made into finished or semi-finished products, and then transported back to China, and even directly used to produce machinery and equipment purchased for China, it can save a lot of intermediate links and save funds. Japan can not only obtain tariff benefits, but also increase revenue in all aspects."

Hirobuki Ito was also a little fascinated by hearing this. He had never heard of this truth before, but he thought it was very feasible. It seemed that Naotao Miyamoto did have a few tricks in economic development, so he thought about it and said, "Okay, Miyamoto, I can arrange for you to go to the Ministry of Rural Business, or serve as a secondary official in affairs, but you can't ignore diplomatic affairs."

Miyamoto Naotao said: "Thank you for your care."
