After the naval battle between Taiwan and Japan, the results of the war were soon spread to all parties around the world. However, everyone was not too surprised by the outcome of this battle. Because no matter who wins or loses this battle, it is also expected. Because they have more than a dozen battleships in the Taiwan Navy, although even if the quality of their sailors is not very good, the number of more than a dozen battleships still exists. And those Japanese and American battleships were only seven battleships, and even if their sailors were of better quality, they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers. So whoever wins on both sides, this is actually prepared in everyone's hearts. Therefore, all countries are prepared for this naval battle, no matter who wins or loses, and there will not be too many surprises for Western countries.

But for Japan, it was a great shock, and after the navy was completely annihilated, what kind of results they would face, this can be imagined.

"What's going on? Didn't Admiral Yuhiro Ito pat his chest and promise, saying that he would definitely win? Emperor Meiji said angrily.

Emperor Meiji was really angry, and no one knew better than him, the emperor of the island nation, what this defeat meant. In this defeat, all the Japanese battleships were sunk, and even none of the officers and soldiers on their naval battleships were alive, so their losses were very heavy. Japan is an island country, and once they don't have a navy, what will be the consequences, this is simply not a big thought. Once the island nation has no navy, it will be easily attacked by the enemy, and they can blockade their country at any time.

At that time, they sent almost the entire army to fight Taiwan, but suffered a crushing defeat. And the reason why Japan was able to hit the Japanese mainland instead of being taken advantage of by Taiwan that time was because they still had a relatively stronger navy. If Japan did not have a relatively strong navy a few years ago, Japan would have been very worried a few years ago. I am afraid that after Taiwan drove out the Japanese army a few years ago, it will also take the opportunity to turn around and kill Japan, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

At that time, when Japan finished the First Sino-Japanese War, it was a window period for military strategic mobilization, and at that time, after the First Sino-Japanese War, the vast majority of soldiers were also war-weary. And almost all the armies of the Japanese army were trapped by the Taiwanese army. At that time, if Taiwan had transferred some people, even if there were only 5,000 people, it would be enough to make a huge fuss in Japan. Fortunately for Japan back then, Japan still had a relatively powerful navy, because with the navy, Japan at that time not only avoided a catastrophe of annihilation, but was able to gain bargaining chips when negotiating with Taiwan. If there had been no navy back then, Taiwan would have even been able to extort a sum of reparations from Japan, instead of the result of not paying reparations to each other. If Taiwan had a powerful navy back then, it would not only be able to kill Japan, but would also be able to extort Japanese reparations.

After that, Emperor Meiji made a decision. Smashing pots and selling iron will also have to form a navy again. So Japan desperately built up a navy, and eventually formed a "powerful" navy with five Xiangshan-class battleships equivalent to the Junquan class. However, what made Japan vomit blood, that is, Taiwan's battleships, actually appeared in piles like dumplings, not only did more than a dozen Sovereign-class battleships appear at once, so that the Japanese Navy did not dare to let go of a single fart. Even if the quality of Taiwan's sailors is relatively low, they do not dare to offend easily.

This time, the Americans were finally brought in, so that they could all think that they could win the bet, but they lost a mess.

"What the hell is going on here, Yuhiro Ito. Didn't you, the staff officers, say that the probability of victory is more than 70 percent? Emperor Meiji said angrily.

Those naval staff officers inside Japan didn't dare to put a fart. This was because the plan they deduced at that time measured Taiwan according to its lowest combat effectiveness and measured itself according to its highest combat effectiveness. Japan's staff officers are different from Taiwan's staff officers, and Japan's staff officers have always calculated their own combat effectiveness according to the highest, and then calculated the enemy's combat effectiveness according to the lowest. In fact, it is easy to come up with a result that looks very good, according to the calculations of the Japanese, they can completely beat five or six battleships in Taiwan with one battleship. So. According to this deduction method, the Japanese staff officers came up with a result of more than 70 percent of their probability of victory.

Of course, this is just a game on paper. If we really extrapolate according to this method, even Japan can win against any country, and it can completely beat the British Empire as a grandson. This is just a game on paper. In fact, the enemy will not really play according to the lowest point in the war battle, but the own side will not play according to the highest combat power. Therefore, in fact, Japan's deduction result is completely problematic, and with such a deduction result, no country will be Japan's opponent, and Japan is like the world's most powerful country.

Of course, this kind of game on paper was actually sent to the emperor, so that Emperor Meiji made a wrong judgment, which is the most cheating thing. It's okay now, so everyone feels like the sky is falling, and if it comes next, I'm afraid it's easy to have an accident.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, if these people send a navy to cover the landing of our army in Japan, then our Japan will be in trouble! I ask His Majesty the Emperor to order the mobilization of the whole country, and then to expand the Army, and to triple the size of our Army of the Empire of Japan again, from twelve divisions to thirty-six divisions. Immediately an army officer said.

"Crazy!" Everybody thinks so.

Everyone present also knew that at this time, the army wanted to take the opportunity to increase its power and expand its influence. They actually wanted to expand the army, from 12 divisions to 36 divisions, and as for the excuse, Taiwan could send troops at any time and come to the Japanese mainland to attack, so they wanted to expand the army to defend. And once the whole country is mobilized, the final result must be a big increase in the strength of the army, because the local defense must be dominated by the army, so the navy naturally does not have much right to speak.

"Does the county have a friend's prime minister? Will we be attacked by Taiwan? Emperor Meiji asked.

Yama Prefecture Youpeng didn't think about it, so he said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, we must expand the army, especially the army, otherwise we will definitely face the result of being attacked by the people of China." Therefore, we must expand the army, so that we will inevitably face the consequences of national extinction. ”

And those naval officers did not dare to say anything, because this time their main naval forces had been annihilated, so they naturally did not dare to say anything. However, Emperor Meiji began to wonder what would happen if the army expanded. This time, it is necessary to mobilize the whole country, but it is necessary for the whole country to prepare for war, and if the whole country mobilizes and expands the army, the series of consequences will be very fatal.

However, at this time, a man walked in.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the so-called expansion of the army and the mobilization of the whole country are not necessary. The Chinese will not attack our homeland, and I can vouch for this with my head! ”

"Ito? Is it you......" Emperor Meiji asked.

"Yes, something so big has happened, how could I not come?" Hirobumi Ito said.

"Ito, this time Prime Minister Aritomo Yamaguchi has proposed a comprehensive expansion of the army and a nationwide mobilization, what do you think?" Emperor Meiji asked.

And Yamayama Aritomo immediately said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I think that the people of Shina will definitely take the opportunity to invade our Japan on a large scale, so there is nothing wrong with mobilizing and expanding the army throughout the country. ”

"Youpeng in Shanxian County, you're talking too much, aren't you? Can't you see that it is simply impossible for the Chinese to attack our homeland. But for the sake of the power of the army, you did not hesitate to drag our great Japan into a place of no return, and your selfishness is too big, right? With your ability, can't you analyze the next battle situation? ”

"The so-called large-scale invasion by the Chinese is nothing but a false proposition. Although the Chinese defeated us in naval battles, they only controlled the sea dominance. They are going to fight a big war with the Russians on land, and this time the Russians have sent no less than 500,000 men to invade, and they must be the first target of the Russians, can they draw out army forces to attack our Great Japan at this time? Even if there is a small navy, the warships of their navy cannot go to land, so as long as we withdraw the people from the coast, it will not be too much of a problem. So, until the Russians are defeated, they will not attack us Japan. ”

However, Yama Prefecture Youpeng asked: "If the people of China defeat the Russians, won't they send a large army to attack us?" At that time, don't we need a national mobilization? Therefore, it is imperative to mobilize and expand the army throughout the country. ”

Youpeng in Shan County is the boss of the army and the highest spokesman of the army, so he naturally has to think about the interests of the army, and now he is also beginning to hope to expand the army, and then expand the number and influence of the army, and master more resources. Only by entering a state of national mobilization will they be able to have more resources at their disposal to take control of the country. Therefore, there are friends in Shan County who will naturally not miss this opportunity, this is a very huge opportunity! The navy has been crippled by Taiwan, the main fleet has been annihilated, and it no longer has any influence on the overall situation of the country. Therefore, they naturally will not miss this opportunity to beat the water dogs, take the opportunity to weaken the navy and increase the power of the army in this country. (To be continued.) )
