Bulgarian Empire

Uchida Yasuya tried his best to manage the meeting on the first day. According to his personal opinion, it is best to calculate according to the existing naval tonnage of each country, so that everyone will not suffer.

However, he knew that the Ministry of the Navy would definitely not agree. They were not satisfied with the ongoing "Eight-Eight Plan" and planned to add two more battleships to this plan. At this time, they would discuss disarmament. How can it be so simple!

If I had known that my first mission as foreign minister was to negotiate arms restrictions, I would fight for this position even if I killed him!

It is too late to regret it now. It is necessary to obtain the consent of all countries and satisfy the country at the same time. How is this possible?

According to the requirements of the gang of uncles in China, unless the tonnage of the navy is the first in the world, it will be difficult to satisfy those two-year-old boys!

...

Sometimes Uchida Yasuya wonders, did all the idiots in the Ministry of the Army grow up eating shit?

No matter how great the benefit is, it cannot offend all the powerful countries!

What did the Great Japanese Empire gain in the American War?

Except that the army snatched back a lot of spoils privately, all the colonies they got were forced to hand them over. What's the use of these spoils?

For these trophies, all the diplomatic efforts of previous Japanese governments have been destroyed!

"Yamamoto-kun, immediately send our current situation to the cabinet so that the government can come up with a solution as soon as possible.

Tell them that all countries are now targeting us. If we don't handle it well, I am afraid that the Great Japanese Empire will be destroyed! "Koya Uchida said

"There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me", this is very Japanese-style politicians' thinking, perhaps affected by the frequent eruptions of volcanoes, their sense of urgency is very strong, and they are often too nervous.

So their judgment can easily be wrong. Especially at the London Conference, although the positions of the governments of various countries were inconsistent, there was no confrontation as imagined by Japanese politicians.

Britain and France did not confront each other, and Austria and Austria were also in harmony. This was completely different from the international situation they expected.

Originally, the Japanese government tried to use the contradictions among European countries to achieve their political goals, but now all countries are in harmony.

Even on the issue of Japan, everyone always stands together intentionally or unintentionally. What should we do?

Even Japan, which was the first to westernize, could not understand the complex diplomatic relations among European countries.

If in the Eastern world, Bulgaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire fought to the death in a world war, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was forced to cede a large area of ​​territory, they should be eternal enemies!

It's a pity they forgot that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was a multi-ethnic country, and the internal conflicts were much more serious than the external conflicts. The ceded land belonged to other ethnic groups, so what did they care about?

Besides, the struggle between Austria and Hungary is enough for the Vienna government. How could they guide public opinion and let the two countries continue to confront each other?

Contradictions exist, but for the sake of profit, they are completely suppressed by the government. Most people's ideas in this era have not been converted.

Otherwise, it would not appear that Prussia just fought with Austria,

It also ceded a large area of ​​​​Austria's territory. Not only did the two sides not become feuds, they also formed an alliance in a blink of an eye, and they were still very close allies.

In France, where revolutionary thinking is active, it is another ending. For Alsace and Lorraine, Germany and France directly formed a deadly enemy, but in the face of interests, the cooperation between Germany and France is not less!

The same is true for Britain and France. If they started purely from hatred, the two countries have fought wars for hundreds of years.

Under the influence of interests, there are both struggles and cooperation among them. The relationship between Britain and France has always changed with changes in interests!

This kind of diplomatic relationship established by the relationship of interests is incompatible with the black and white concept of right and wrong in Eastern society!

...

Uchida Yasuya didn't know how to solve the problem in front of him, and the same was true of Hara Kei's cabinet. Everyone directly kicked the ball to the Ministry of the Navy.

Since it is you who want to expand the military, it is up to you to find a way now, as long as all countries can agree to your military expansion, then everything is negotiable!

The Minister of the Navy, Yusaburo Kato, fell into a very embarrassing situation. The London Conference was originally held to limit armaments. In this context, the Japanese Navy wanted to expand its military.

There were more than 20 countries participating in the meeting, but unfortunately none of them had a good relationship with the Japanese government, and they couldn't even find a single one to help wave the flag!

In the past, they hugged the British thighs tightly and were covered by the boss, so naturally they would not be targeted.

Now the Russians are still in the civil war, the United States has been divided, and the existence of Japan has no use value for the British Empire.

Interests determine positions, and the original close allies have now become competitors, and the relationship between the two parties is naturally over.

"Master Hai, you are a professional in this area, so please come up with a plan that can be accepted by governments of all countries, please!" Prime Minister Hara Kyo said

Kato Yusaburo thought about it in his heart, and finally said helplessly: "Should we calculate according to the local population of each country? Or calculate according to the local coastline?"

Everyone looked foolish, and Minister of War Yoshiichi Tanaka said sarcastically: "Since Minister Hai is so sure, why don't we let the foreign minister come back and send you to participate in the London negotiations instead!

Presumably with your three-inch tongue, you can let the British hand over ~ give us the position of world hegemony!

Such unrivaled feats belong to you, on behalf of all the people of Japan, please! "

After finishing speaking, Tanaka Yoshiichi bowed to him decently.

Kato Yusaburo gave Tanaka Yoshiichi a hard look, and he also knew that his proposal was a little unreliable.

It can be calculated by population, and John Bull will definitely ask for it. If the population of colonization is added to the calculation, Japan will still suffer.

It can also be calculated by the length of the coastline, as long as the coastline of the colonies is added, Japan is still incomparable.

"Then how do you calculate it? Compared with the European powers, the Great Japanese Empire is far behind. If we don't catch up, will we still have a foothold in the future?" Kato Yusaburo asked rhetorically

"Everyone understands these great principles, but according to your plan, let alone the future, we will not be able to pass the current test!

Why don't you go to London and put forward your proposal to see which country will support you? "Tanaka Yoshiichi continued to sarcastically

Let the army give advice to the navy, he really dares to come up with it, the question is, does the Ministry of the Navy dare to use it? That being the case, why should he waste his tongue?

"The two are the pillars of the country. It is better not to quarrel now. It is better to take a step back, or to calculate according to the actual naval tonnage of each country!" Yuan Jing suggested.

"no!"

"no!"

This time Yoshiichi Tanaka and Yusaburo Kato gave the same answer, which surprised everyone.

"The navy of the Empire of Japan is too small to protect our interests!" Kato Yusaburo said

"No, I think on the contrary, our navy is too large, and we are still expanding our navy, causing dissatisfaction among all countries!

The most important thing we should do now is to reduce the tonnage of the navy and eliminate the hostility of other countries to us, so as to get rid of our current diplomatic dilemma! "Tanaka Yoshiichi said tit for tat

"Yiichi Tanaka, you bastard, this is a betrayal of the Great Japanese Empire!" Kato Yusaburo scolded angrily

"Idiot, you can't even see such a simple international situation. Could it be that your navy can't make some sacrifices for the sake of the empire?" Tanaka Yoshiichi provocatively said

"Su Jing, do you know where this place is? If you two want to quarrel, get the hell out of here!" The impatient Prince Churen interrupted their quarrel

(Remarks: Emperor Taisho suffered from meningitis, part-time mental illness, and often did some ridiculous things.

In order not to let the emperor embarrass the Japanese government, from 1921 onwards, Prince Sahito became the regent. )

"Hi!"

"Hi!"

Apart from reprimanding them, there is nothing the common man can do about them. Now he is only the prince, not the emperor who is one for all generations!

To put it nicely, it's called a regency, but to put it badly, it's just a rubber stamp that has been confessed at a high price. These politicians will not buy his account if they want to interfere in the affairs of the country!

Originally, the authority of the Japanese imperial family was still very high, but unfortunately after the emergence of the alternative Emperor Taisho, the majesty of the imperial family was limited to the common people, and the awe of the imperial family by the top Japanese government fell to the bottom!

After pausing for a moment, Prince Suren said again: "No matter what, you must come up with a result tonight!

You can think about it, once countries enforce disarmament standards, will we be able to withstand this diplomatic pressure! "

Kato Yusaburo's face changed, can he resist the pressure? Of course it can't!

If they can resist the diplomatic pressure of various countries, why would they go to the London Conference? Is it to humiliate oneself?

Once the countries reach an agreement and force the Japanese government to implement it, there is no need to threaten it with force. Just one economic sanction is enough for them to suffer!

"Well, our navy has made concessions, but at least we must keep the tonnage of the Royal Navy's seventh floor, so we can fight against the British!" Kato Yusaburo thought for a while and said

"I think if this is the case, our Prime Minister Hai should discuss it in person!" Prime Minister Yuan Jing sneered.

The total tonnage of the Japanese navy is less than one-third of that of the British. After disarmament, they actually demanded seven levels of the British navy's total tonnage. Isn't this nonsense?

"I'm talking about capital ships, we can make concessions on other warships!" Kato Yusaburo added

"Master Hai, wake up, don't pretend to be confused here, you also know that this is impossible, if you can keep the third-tier battleship of the Royal Navy, it is considered a profit!

Don't forget, the British are targeting us this time. If you want to choose to resist, you have to think clearly about the consequences! "Tanaka Yoshiichi said mockingly.

"You~"

Kato Yusaburo was so angry that he didn't say the rest of the words. How could he not know these questions?

But the sophomores in the navy are also scary! Although it is not as good as the army, it is enough to make the scalp tingle.

Isn't the reason why he persisted is to let the foreign minister and the cabinet take the blame? It's a pity that everyone is not a fool, how can he let him get his wish?

"At least keep the proportion of the British on the fourth floor. If it is lower, I have no way to explain to all the officers and soldiers of the navy!" Kato Yusaburo said angrily

"We don't care about this issue. Your Admiralty also sent people to attend this meeting. Isn't it clear how the situation is?" Yuan Jing asked

The cabinet and the army are putting pressure on the navy!

Thinking of this, Yusaburo Kato suddenly realized, but what should we do?

"Okay then, we'll just wait for the outcome of the London negotiations. Anyway, what standard is used to calculate it? It doesn't count if we say it!

This depends on the ability of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If the British can be persuaded to give up suppressing us, that would be great! " Kato Yusaburo said very bachelor

One of the necessary talents of a politician - shirking responsibility!
