"General Fujino! I guess we're just talking about things. Why should the honor of the Army be involved? Moreover, it is a fact that the army suffered heavy casualties under the blows of the other side, and I think we cannot let the soldiers go to a hopeless battle, so it is time for us to listen to the opinion of the navy! ”

Shigenobu Okuma's gaze was directed at a neatly dressed young naval officer. With short hair and two cold eyes, he looks handsome. It can be seen that he is the kind of young officer who is full of revenge and pursuit for the future.

When Shigenobu Okuma's gaze swept to his side, he glanced at the somewhat angry Yoshio Fujino out of the corner of his eye, obviously not looking down on an army officer.

"Your Excellency, for this Tang Yunyang, according to the information of our navy, he has an organization called the China Renaissance Party.

Prime Minister, what does this bring to your mind? Coupled with the fact that he used extremely bloody means in Dutch Batavia because of the local riots against the Chinese, it is clear that he had a point.

He was a man with political aspirations. So where is his goal? I don't think he's so attracted anywhere except China! ”

Shigenobu Okuma was shocked by Nagao Araga's words, and he wondered if such a strongman returned to China. With his armed forces, which even the German, British, and French teams have a headache, it should not be difficult to unify China's rights.

If he is really allowed to do so, then the interests of the Great Japanese Empire in China will be fully affected. In particular, the threat posed to the long-term strategy of the future empire is self-evident.

"Alas! Is his military strength so powerful that China's politicians who see the wind and steer the rudder can resist it? Or can we work with him? In that case......"

At this moment, the young naval officer's words were suddenly interrupted by Fujino Yoshio on the side, and his tone was fierce and rough.

"I don't understand, Shao Zuo, what do these words you say have to do with this incident? What we have to do now is to organize an effective counterattack and strike a blow at his actions! So what are the plans of the Navy? ”

Yoshio Fujino, who was reprimanded by Okuma Shigenobu in front of everyone, couldn't hold his face, and the army's performance in this battle was also quite poor, so he couldn't say anything. The anger in his heart had to be spread on others, and this low-ranking naval officer of Yoshio Zengo seemed to be his target.

Naturally, the young naval officer could not, and ridiculed him, a high-ranking army officer. So I had to bow my head to him, as if I was being taught by him. After he had spoken, he ignored his question at all, and continued to explain the opinion of the navy.

"Prime Minister, as far as our navy side is concerned, we should show weakness to him this time, and this is a stage that we must go through to weaken his power! Since his goal is in China, then we must make him think that there will be no obstacle to his return to China, especially the hindrance of our Imperial Japanese Navy! When he returns to China, we can cut off the source of his power by sea, in this case......"

As he said this, the young naval officer's gaze narrowed to Fujino Yoshida on the side, and his eyes seemed to be full of ridicule. When he said "the Imperial Japanese Navy", it seemed sonorous and powerful.

“…… In this way, we can use the power of the Chinese government in Beijing, plus the power of our Imperial Japanese Marine Corps, to defeat him in one fell swoop after he returns to China! ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Before Shigenobu Okuma could react, Nagao Ariga, who was on the side, had already clapped his hands to express his opinion. At the same time, his gaze turned to the naval adviser who would only speak unless someone asked him.

This young naval officer's name was Yoshio Zengo, an honor student who graduated from the Naval University, served as a torpedo boat captain, and once served as a staff officer in the third ship.

Through his analysis and plan, Ariga Nagao could see that this was a young officer with great foresight. Although he is probably a little worse than that terrifying man.

After clapping his hands, Nagao Ariga continued his words and said words of approval.

"In the long run, if he returns to China and takes power, it will be the greatest disaster for our Empire Japan! Therefore, we have to tie the Beijing government to our chariot in advance and let them deal with this Tang Yunyang. Whatever he does to the legitimate government of China, it is ultimately a mistake! ”

Shigenobu Okuma listened to Ariga's words, pacing back and forth and thinking. Now that China is ready to enter the First World War, it will have to take control of the Beijing government for the sake of its long-term interests in Shandong and Northeast China.

"If he doesn't get what he wants in the government, then he will be on the opposite side of the legitimate government. If he does not go to war and joins the government, then the Beijing government will also do its best to suppress him. But you know, those guys in Beijing, they are all guys who only recognize money and don't recognize people! ”

Speaking of this, Ariga Nagao stopped his mouth, raised his eyes from time to time and quietly observed Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma's eyes and expressions, and finally he heard that his efforts were not in vain.

"I think we're going to take this guy seriously, and what you're offering is a solution. You know that when the Chinese deal with their own people, the means are always very unique! ”

The office of the Prime Minister of the Imperial Japanese Empire was unusually busy because of the attack this morning. Not only are the main staff and advisers here, but there are also quite a few figures from the military department who have come and gone to send the latest information to Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma.

Nagao Ariga didn't care about any of this, at least when it came to things in China, he had already believed his analysis. In Ariga Nagao's heart, this matter is not big or small, but it can be regarded as a harvest.

He slowly picked up a cup of tea, shook his head and blew lightly, as if he looked down on the people in front of him who seemed to be in a hurry. The superficial work he made was the same as the hole cards in his heart.

He knew very well what was happening in front of him, because it was something that the man had confessed.

He could see that Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma was a little anxious about this matter. During the Russo-Japanese naval war, it was because of the shelling of the Japanese mainland that the Japanese United Fleet officers at that time almost committed suicide.

And now a city was half occupied by a small force of the enemy at sea, and all the captured German soldiers fled. No matter how much responsibility the commander of the Combined Fleet of the Navy has, at least the Prime Minister's face is very disgraceful.

Taking a sip of tea, he began to speak more and more slowly.

Shigenobu Okuma sat down again, his eyes raised to look at the friend with whom he had a close personal relationship. In almost every civil war in modern China, he was seen to some extent. But now that he was in a wheelchair, it was no longer possible for him to travel for the sake of the Japanese Empire.

"If it weren't for you, I don't think anyone else would have been able to analyze the situation in China so clearly!"

Nagao Ariga put down the cup in his hand and smiled humbly.

"Of course, we must also be sure that it is best to fight with Beijing or other local forces, which is the most beneficial to the eastern strategy of our Great Japanese Empire!"

Such a long-term, yet well-organized analysis made Okuma Shigenobu nod secretly in his heart and praised Ariga Nagao's foresight. He knows very well in his heart that there may not be a single person who knows China as well as he does.

Shigenobu Okuma picked up the information on the table in front of him again, and examined the past one by one, and in the face of such a sudden attack, his confidence in the defense of the Japanese mainland was greatly reduced.

————————————————————————————————————— "Araga-kun, if we don't counterattack their attack, will they come to Japan again if he succeeds in this matter?" ”

Ariga Nagao, who has the bottom in his heart, naturally doesn't need to guess, and now he just needs to explain the situation very well. He pondered for a moment, and then seemed not to worry at all about the danger that might come to the Japanese mainland!

"Hehe, Prime Minister, if my expectations are correct, this Tang Yunyang must have accepted the commission of the Germans to do this. And the Germans will not be aiming at the Japanese mainland, they will be aiming at the island of Irion. In this case, it is always good for us for the British and Australians to suffer more there!

And you know, this bastard is a mercenary leader. Then it is certain that his army will not act without money. In addition, based on their current strength, I don't think a small army will cause any big trouble, so I don't think we need to worry about them! ”

Shigenobu Okuma frowned, he didn't want to pin the safety of mainland Japan on boundless rumors.

At this time, Yoshida Zengo, who was silent because of Ariga Nagao's words, suddenly interjected.

"Prime Minister, General Fujino, Dr. Arika, I think it will not be difficult for him to enter the mainland of our Empire of Japan or in the air with the superiority of air power. So this just proves the point of view of Yamamoto Isoroku Shosa, who has just returned from the United States, that we must develop strong air power. Whether at sea or on land, according to his observations of the European theater, air power has become another force that determines the outcome of battles, after infantry, artillery, and chariots. ”

Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma and Army Major General Fujino Yoshio didn't speak after hearing his words, but Ariga Nagao on the side was happy, he knew that Tang Yunyang would sell weapons he didn't need to anyone.

"Prime Minister, this point of view is very insightful, and from what I have seen and heard in Europe this time, I believe that the best aircraft in the world happen to be made by that bastard's company!"
