"Prepare the car and go to the War Department right away." General Kawai Cao commanded. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a great possibility that China would go to war with Japan. Therefore, it is necessary to pass the message to the Cabinet, and then the Cabinet will discuss the countermeasures.

In less than ten minutes of poetry, General Kawai appeared in the office of the Minister of War, General Shimoto Shinroku.

"Kawai-kun, what's going on?" General Shimoto asked. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army is steadily improving, and he is now very satisfied. Over the years, in order to support the development of the Navy. The Japanese Army has tightened its belts and has not changed its weapons and equipment for many years. Now, with the arrival of support from Britain, France, the United States, and other countries, the Japanese Army can finally change its guns. Equipping machine guns with squads is something the Japanese Army has never thought of! The Japanese Army even planned to equip each detachment (squad) with a light machine gun, as the Chinese Army did. Of course, the prerequisite is that Japan's resources can keep up. Otherwise, the logistical pressure alone will be enough to put them under tremendous pressure.

It is foreseeable that it will not be long before the combat strength of the Japanese Army will return to its peak, or even surpass its peak. At that time, when the Japanese Navy defeats the Chinese Navy, the Japanese Army may still have a chance to reland in China.

"Your Excellency, the latest news I have received is that the army of the Chinese people is secretly moving. I'm worried that the Chinese are ready to do something to us. General Kawai said.

"What? The people of China are ready to do something to us? How is this possible? "The new six generals of Shimoto are a little unimaginable.

"Your Excellency, nothing is impossible. If I were the commander of the Shina people, I would have chosen to do it at this time. Our 'Yamato-class' battleships are still a few months away from being able to enter service. Our Army. It's just beginning to regain equipment. If the Chinese want to defeat us, this is undoubtedly the best time. Otherwise, if they miss this opportunity, they will have to pay a greater price if they want to beat us again. General Kawai said.

Shimoto Shinvi frowned, though. He was reluctant to believe this fact. But, as Admiral Kawai said, now is undoubtedly the best time for China to defeat Japan. Otherwise, once the 'Yamato-class' battleships enter service, it will be very difficult for the Chinese Navy to defeat the Japanese Navy. Once the Chinese navy is unable to win and cannot guarantee the sea supremacy around Japan, the Chinese army will no longer be able to land on the Japanese mainland. Japan's security is guaranteed. So. If China wants to defeat Japan, it must rush before the Yamato-class battleships enter service.

"Your Excellency, I suspect that the reason why the people of China did not prevent us from building the 'Yamato-class' battleships is entirely for this reason. If they can defeat us before our 'Yamato-class' battleships enter service. Then, according to the greedy character of the Shina people, in the negotiations, they must ask us to transfer the 'Yamato-class' battleships and the 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers to them. It's like the 'Nagato-class' battleships that were forced to be transferred to them in the first place. The 'Kaga-class' battleships were the same as the 'Satsuma-class' battleships. In this way, the people of China have not only eliminated our threat to them. And got a few powerful warships, so why not? General Kawai said depressedly.

The sixth general of Shimoto suddenly had a chilling feeling that China had actually begun to calculate Japan more than two years ago. There is no doubt that this is undoubtedly a disaster for Japan. If Shiroku Ishimoto didn't quite believe in General Kawai's analysis before. Now, he's completely sure. The Chinese Empire really wanted to carry out with them.

"Yaga! Despicable and shameless Chinans, they are definitely the most despicable people in the world. What did they think of the Great Japanese Empire? Is it for them to be provided with battleships for free? Where in the world can there be such a cheap thing! General Shimoto roared angrily.

"So, Your Excellency, what shall we do now?" General Kawai asked. Anyway, in his opinion. The chances that Japan will survive this crisis this time are very slim. Although the Japanese Army has begun to rearm. However, compared to the Chinese Army, the gap in strength is still too large. As for the Japanese Navy, before the 'Yamato-class' battleships were commissioned, there was no chance of victory.

"Let's go, let's go to the Prime Minister's Office and report to the Prime Minister." The sixth general of Shimoto said.

Such an important thing is obviously not something that their War Department can decide. It must be discussed by the Cabinet and then reported to His Majesty the Emperor.

The two rushed to the Prime Minister's Office and reported the news to Prime Minister Masashi Terauchi. Terauchi Masashi was equally shocked. The current situation in Japan is not good. However, with the continuous blood transfusion of Britain, France, and the United States, the situation in Japan is gradually improving. If China can be defeated in the future, then Japan will be able to reverse the situation and gain the capital to re-emerge. However, now that he has heard such news, how can he not be shocked by Terauchi Masatsuki? If this is the case, doesn't that show that everything is a Chinese ploy?

"Bastard! The vicious Shina people immediately brought in the foreign minister, the Tibetan minister and the sea minister. There is an urgent matter that needs to be discussed in a meeting. Terauchi Masashi commanded. At such a critical juncture, it would undoubtedly be troublesome to hold another cabinet meeting. All you need to do is bring the five ministers of the cabinet together, and that's it. Generally speaking, what the cabinet decides on represents the opinion of the entire cabinet.

The staff of the Prime Minister's Office immediately went to make a call. Soon, the five ministers of the Japanese cabinet and the chief of staff of the army, Senior General Kawai Cao, gathered in a meeting of the Prime Minister's Office. The general knelt on the tatami mat with a solemn face.

"Gentlemen, the current situation is already clear to everyone. The people of China are planning a large-scale war against us. The Great Japanese Empire had reached its most critical juncture. If it is not handled properly, the Japanese Empire will fall into the abyss and will never have a chance to rise again. Masaki said with a serious face.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, can this news be confirmed? Are the people really ready to go to war against us? Britain, France, the United States, and other countries will definitely not let the China people go to war against us at this time. Of course, Britain, France, and the United States treat us as pawns. However, our power is still too weak now. Unless our strength is strong, it is enough to fight with the people of China and lose both. Britain, France, and the United States will acquiesce in the war against us. Otherwise, we will be defeated quickly, which will mean that the huge investment of Britain, France and the United States will be lost again. Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida said.

This is certainly the intention of Britain, France and the United States. But will the people of China obediently listen to the words of Britain, France and the United States? For the sake of their own interests, they will definitely choose to wage war against us before we become strong. In this way, they will win the war at the lowest cost. War Minister Shinroku Ishimoto said.

"Gentlemen, the Navy recently got news that the capital ships of the Chinese Pacific Fleet have entered the shipyard for maintenance. Before, we didn't think of this as the same thing. But now it seems that the people of China are clearly preparing for the war! Admiral Rokuro Yashiro also said.

"Yashiro-kun, if the Shina people start a war against us? Will the navy be able to withstand the attack of the China? Masaki Terauchi asked.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, after our 'Yamato-class' battleships and 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers are put into service, even if the Shina have twice as many capital ships as ours, we still have the strength to deal with them, and if we are lucky, it is not impossible to defeat the Shina people. Even if only the 'Yamato-class' battleships were in service, we would be at a disadvantage. But the people of China did not dare to be too arrogant. The 460-mm guns of the 'Yamato-class' battleships were definitely not so easy to deal with. However, it is a pity that the 'Yamato-class' battleships will not be able to enter service until the end of the year. If the Chinese choose to go to war during this time, we will have only five capital ships to confront the Chinese navy. Even if we don't count the Nanyang Fleet of the Shangchina Navy, we don't have the slightest chance of winning. Rokuro Yashiro said.

"The people of China are really good at choosing the time, and they completely want to defeat us when we are the weakest!" Tibetan Prime Minister Yamamoto Dakuma said.

"The conspiracy of the Shina people does not stop there, if they defeat us, then we have exhausted the treasury, and we have a large amount of foreign debts to build the 'Yamato-class' battleships and 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep them, right?" Shiroku Ishimoto continued.

"Despicable and shameless Shina people! They're so despicable! "Admiral Hachishiro scolded the sea minister. The Yamato-class battleships and Amagi-class battlecruisers have long been regarded by them as a weapon for the revival of the Japanese Navy.

"Gentlemen, let's talk about it, what should we do now?" Terauchi Masashi said with a headache.

"Your Excellency, at this point, we can only ask Britain, France and the United States to come forward and let them stop the Chinese. Only when the three countries come forward will the Chinese compromise. Just like the Chinese retreated in the Indochina colony before. This time, the people of China may also back down. Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida said.

"Well, those European and American ghosts want to treat us like pawns. And aren't we using them? Let them come forward to protect our safety and give us a chance to develop. Masaki Terauchi said.

Isn't it natural for Japan, as a lackey raised by Britain, France, and the United States, to ask its master for help when it encounters a crisis?
