Hirofumi Ito was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, after talking about it, Naotaku Miyamoto mentioned the danger of inciting populism. In fact, Naotaku Miyamoto also mentioned the danger of populism before, but Hirofumi Ito did not care much because he had never seen the danger of populism, and there was no historical precedent to learn from. In addition, Japan did gain a lot of benefits from inciting the emotions of the people. The victory of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and the Japanese-Russian War in the early stages of the Far East War were all because Japan incited the emotions of the people at home, so that the army could fight bloody battles without considering life and death on the battlefield.

Although inciting public opinion has brought some negative impacts, Li Hongzhang's assassination during negotiations with Shimonoseki forced Japan to reduce the conditions for claiming. This Nagasaki incident also disrupted Japan's plan, but overall, the benefits are far greater than the losses. In addition, Japan is in a relatively crisis moment and needs a sense of shared hatred for the enemy. Therefore, from Hiromoto Ito's heart, it does not think that there is anything wrong with inciting public opinion, and Japan currently needs it very much. However, Hiromoto Ito is a smart politician after all. Even though Naotao Miyamoto mentioned it repeatedly, and according to previous experience, Naotao Miyamoto almost wins the words, and Hiromoto Ito has to seriously consider it.

So after careful consideration, Hirobuki Ito said: "Miyamoto, I can understand your concerns, but at present, Japan needs a spirit of unity and hatred of the enemy, and requires the Japanese people's infinite loyalty to the emperor and hatred for the East China Magistrate Government. The next step should be to form a cabinet to rule the army, and I am afraid that it will inspire public opinion. However, when we go through this difficult period and our Magistrate Friends Association is in power, I will consider your concerns."

Having said this, Naotao Miyamoto was not easy to continue. After all, Hirofumi Ito's words are not completely unreasonable. Japan's current situation is indeed not good. In this situation, it is the most effective way to encourage public opinion to stabilize the situation in the short term and get rid of the predicament. Moreover, the Army Group formed a cabinet to rule, Hirofumi Ito could do only. Only when the Massacre Association was in power, Hirofumi Ito could exert his own influence. Therefore, it is not realistic to ask Hirofumi Ito to try to stop or lower the agitation of public opinion.

So Miyamoto Naotaku said, "Okay, it's already very late today, so I won't bother you to rest and say goodbye."

Hirobu Ito nodded, saying, "Miyamoto, today's conversation has benefited me a lot. Japan needs someone like you."

After walking out of Hirofumi Ito's mansion, there was no one on the street, only the dim street lights were on, which seemed very desolate. Because Tokyo was not in good order during this period, a large number of people took to the streets every day to protest the weak behavior of the Maitsu government to the outside world, and there were also vicious incidents such as smashing, looting and burning. Therefore, the Tokyo area implemented a curfew control at night, but now Miyamoto Naotaku is a capable leader of the Maitsu Association, so he naturally has a pass.

However, although the streets were empty and cold, Naotaku Miyamoto's mood was very depressed. Unexpectedly, the situation in Japan would be so deteriorating. When they first came to this era, the three of them had a brief adaptation period, with ambitions, hoping to show their strength in this era, not only helping Japan stand tall in the world, but also avoiding the defeat of World War II and keeping Japan strong.

Of course, it is not surprising that the three of them have such ambitions. After all, in the old time and space, all three of them can be called elites, and are familiar with the historical development of this period, and are somewhat influenced by the time-travel novels of the old time and space. Although they also know that China's evacuation fleet also traveled to this era and landed in China, after all, Japan was an old industrial country at that time and basically achieved national independence. China was also a semi-feudal and semi-colonial agricultural country. It can be said that Japan's development foundation is much better than China. Although the evacuation fleet brought several modern warships, the number of competitions was limited and there was no supplement. When the weapons on the ship were used up, it was not scary.

But now about 9 years have passed. After winning the Far East War, the East China Government, established by the personnel of the Chinese evacuated fleet, has become a force that no country can ignore in this era. Moreover, it is just around the corner to unify the entire China. After the failure of the Far East War, Japan was greatly damaged and its space for development was squeezed by the East China Government. Not to mention standing in the world, it is far inferior to the old time and space. In any case, in the old time and space, Japan defeated Russia in the Russo-Japanese War, and then continued to dominate the East Asia region for nearly 40 years. It is also one of the great powers around the world.

It was not because of the fact that the three of them had no efforts, but they were really willing but not capable. Although the three of them were elites in the old time and space, and were also the best among the people in this era, and in these 8 or 9 years, they had achieved quite good personal achievements, but the achievements of the three could not affect Japan's political situation, so they could not show their ambitions and ambitions. Before the Far East War, Naotaku Miyamoto reminded Hirofumi Ito many times to pay attention to the trends of the East China Magistrate Government; and after the East China Magistrate Government participated in the war, Japan completely lost its advantage and initiative on the battlefield. Naotaku Miyamoto suggested to Hirofumi Ito that while Russia was restraining the East China Magistrate Government, they immediately negotiated peace with the East China Magistrate Government to withdraw from the war at a lower price and reduce losses. Ito Hirofumi Ito did not listen to these suggestions, which led to Japan's war in the Far East, which eventually damaged the country's vitality.

However, the personnel of the Chinese evacuated overseas Chinese fleet have started a new job in China, but now they are doing well. In comparison, the gap between the two sides is huge, which shows that.

Miyamoto Naotaku and other three people have not been able to affect Japan's political situation yet. There is an important reason that the three people's foundation in Japan is too shallow, and they can even be said to have no foundation at all. Although Japan's history is not as long as China, it is a country with a long history around the world, and it was in the feudal period for most of the time. Therefore, although Japan in this era is basically a modern industrialized country, traditional customs are still strong. Whether in the workplace or the political arena, they all talk about poverty and rank, competing for family background and connections. For example, Miyamoto Naotaku and other three people have no foundation in Japan. It is impossible to stand out in 8 or 9 years and stand at the peak of power.

With his accurate prediction of the current situation around the Far East War, Miyamoto Naotao gained Hirofumi Ito's absolute trust and appreciation and became one of the main backbones of the Maitsuka Association. But even so, Hirofumi Ito did not obey him. After all, Hirofumi Ito had formed his own values ​​and judgment, and it was impossible to change without obvious failure.

But Japan is on the verge of danger now. In fact, Naotao Miyamoto was not worried about Japan's economy. Bijing and the gold mine of World War I were enough to restore Japan's economic strength. In the old time and space, it was precisely because of this. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan was always a debtor country. It was not until after the outbreak of World War I that Japan turned over and became a creditor country in one fell swoop. Although the history of this era has undergone considerable changes, the conflicts between major European countries have not decreased at all. The two major groups of Allies and Allied Powers were still formed. Therefore, the outbreak of World War I was inevitable, just a few years earlier or a few years later.

However, the biggest problem now is that the East China Government, or China has risen, greatly squeezing Japan's living space. In the old time and space, Chinese diplomats have a common saying, "The Pacific Ocean is large enough to accommodate two major powers in China and the United States." But in cyberspace, it is also a sentence in the cyberspace of China and Japan: East Asia cannot accommodate two countries. This also reveals the cruel gaming environment between China and Japan. In Asia, in the space of East Asia, China and Japan can only have one country rise, but cannot respect two countries. This is the case in the old time and space, and it is still the case in this era.

In the old time and space, Japan led the Qing court through the Meiji Restoration and defeated the Qing court in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, thus stepping on the shoulders of the Qing court and entering the ranks of the great powers. China fell into the ranks of the country's demise for a time, and once struggled on the verge of destruction. Even after the founding of the country, it was still in poverty and backward. Although Japan was defeated in World War II and lost its political independence, it rose economically due to various opportunities shortly after the war. Although it was humble in front of the Americans, it could still maintain a high image in front of the Chinese. It was not until the new century that China slowly began to revive and rise again, and Japan finally gradually weakened due to its famous "lost twenty years", but after all, it had been so glorious for hundreds of years.

But in this era, because Japan lost the Far East War, not only did it spit out all the dividends obtained in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, but also lost all the capital and interests, and also owed a lot of stock debts. However, the East China Government obtained a lot of benefits through the victory of this battle. Not only did it pull Japan off, but it also stepped on Japan's shoulders and entered the house, becoming one of the new members of the clubs of the great powers, but Japan may lose this qualification forever.

Thinking of this, Naotaku Miyamoto sighed, and then he realized that time travel novels are all deceitful. It is too difficult to work hard in an era with only personal power. Even time travelers are no exception. The power of a group is even stronger. So what should Japan take next...

Just as Miyamoto Naotao was thinking, a noisy sound came from behind him. Miyamoto Naotao was slightly stunned. When he looked back, he saw that at one end of the long street, in the direction of Ito Hirofumi's mansion, under the dim street lights, a group of people poured out from the darkness, as if they were still holding many flags or stick-shaped things, which were chaotic and noisy, and they were still shouting something! And Miyamoto Naotao listened carefully and finally heard a few words clearly: "Respecting the emperor to seek traitors", "Seven lifetimes to serve the country", "Heaven punishes traitors".
