Although, Japan in this era is very arrogant, but after all, it is quite reliable, in the last years of the Meiji era, the early days of Taisho, those politicians and strategists who rose in Japan are still alive, although there are many internal strife and problems, but in general, it is much stronger than the Showa era, especially in terms of national strategy!

Although the contradictions between the United States and Japan have been prematurely intensified because of Ruprecht's operation, if you want to make a profit, Japan has really gained a lot, and the output of the Philippines is much richer than that of Taiwan in history! And Japan's national strength has also improved a lot as a result, so it is said that Seon will not know the blessing and the curse if he loses his horse. And now, Japan, which is stronger than it was historically www.biquge.info clearly has even greater ambitions. Especially this time, after the British acquiesced to Japan's occupation of part of the Dutch East Indies colony, the ambitions of the Japanese top swelled again! They're looking for their next target! A goal that allows you to get a lot of benefits and at the same time don't have to worry about opposition from Britain and France!

There used to be a proverb: "When you have more friends than your enemies, then you win." Genjiro Akashi has forgotten the origin of this sentence, but he agrees with the point of view, and he believes that the rise of any great power cannot succeed by relying solely on its own brute force.

Why was Italy able to reunite? In Italy's Second War of Independence in 1859, could Italy have won Austria without the help of the French? And in the Third War of Independence in 1866, Italy chose Prussia as its ally, and the Austro-Prussian War broke out in that year! And at the time of Germany's victory, Italy also received Venicia from Austria-Hungary! And finally completed the great cause of reunification! Even the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, Count Cavour, believed that Italy alone would not be able to rely on itself, and that it was necessary to rely on the international situation.

If it is used well, even if the garbage is like Italy, the dream of reunification can be realized, then well, since the weak country needs to use strategy and allies to succeed, then the strong country needs it? Naturally, I need it! The rise of Prussia is a case in point! And strategically speaking, the difficulty of the rise of Prussia is actually not small at all, because France, the hegemon of the European continent at that time, could tolerate a unified Italy, and Italy that did not agree was a rookie, and the unified was 5 rookies, with limited combat effectiveness, and it was impossible to affect the hegemony of France, but German Prussia was different, after Blucher, Prussia could not be regarded as a first-class power, right? But at least the second-class powers! Or can we carve up Poland with Russia? And for this country that also has the potential for hegemony, France is wary!

Unlike when Italy was unified, there were relatively few domestic problems, and the internal problems faced by Prussia at the time of reunification were too great, even greater than external problems, and the current situation in Bavaria is the sequelae of Prussia's internal unification problems. Prussia had to face not only the mighty France, but also Austria, which was also within the German system, and other kingdoms second only to Austria! This is definitely not something that can be solved by hard fists. Think about it, if Prussia and France or Austria were to fight, and Austria or France were to stick a pole, then Prussia would kneel ironclad! I really thought I was NB so I had to pick two?!

Genjiro Akashi admired Bismarck very much! Because behind the seemingly smooth sailing military operation is actually very risky! The Austro-Prussian War is also known as the "Seven Weeks War", what does it mean? Obviously, this war has been going on for seven weeks! Bismarck and Moltke could not have allowed this war to last too long! Otherwise, let alone the possible intervention of France and Russia, if the Kingdom of Bavaria decides to fulfill its obligation to send 100,000 troops between itself and Austria, then the situation in Prussia will be difficult to say!

Although Prussia was victorious at the Battle of Craignitz, Austria was able to continue the resistance. If Prussia had been persecuted too much at this time, it would have been likely that Prussia would have fallen short due to the intervention of other countries. And even if Prussia wins this time, if Austria is allowed to hold a grudge, then in the later Franco-Prussian War, if Austria makes a move, Prussia will definitely not be able to stop it!

And not only must Austria not be allowed to hold a grudge, but also the middle states must accept Prussia as the future boss. This is why there was one emperor and three kings in the entire German Empire. Although the result was not good, Bismarck had done the best, and after excluding Austria, Prussia had the capital to fight France. Thus finally completing the unification!

Therefore, no matter which country wants to really rise, then superb diplomatic skills and sharp sabers are necessary. And does Japan have both? The Japanese political elders of the Meiji period thought that their diplomatic and strategic skills were sufficient, so now it's time to look at the saber. The saber of the Navy proved to be quite good, and it was also the third level in the world, right? Japan has already repaired the United States twice, and as for challenging the two behemoths of Britain and Germany, forget it. I don't have the ability to do that. Britain will not talk about it, but if the German fleet led by the Bavarian prince Ruprecht in Operation Thurbrus is pulled out for comparison, it will be enough for the Japanese to drink a pot of .......

And then when the Japanese top brass is fine, they will still wonder, whether the army's saber is easy to use? Before the outbreak of World War I, the Japanese Army was quite confident, after all, the Russians had cut them down. What's wrong with you, you're also first-class, right?

However, when the war really broke out, the Japanese suddenly discovered: "Damn, this TM is called a national war, the Bavarian and Bohemian legions commanded by Bavarian Crown Prince Ruprecht are no smaller than the Japanese army in the Russo-Japanese War, and the equipment is several grades higher!" This TM is terrible, isn't it?! The army of a state can compete with the Japanese Empire! "And in fact, the Japanese still overestimated their combat effectiveness, and the same division, the Bavarian division, did not know where higher than the Japanese did not know where it went!

When the first round of fighting on the Eastern Front was over, the Japanese were even more frightened, not only because the Bavarian Army had defeated two Russian armies in one round, with a total of about 400,000 troops. This is understandable for Japan, after all, the Bavarian Legion has many guns, many guns, and hundreds of tanks. By the way, there are airplanes, although to this day, the Japanese are still stunned when they look at their big kites, and they don't understand how this thing works.
