The Rise of the Empire

The Sulu Sea naval battle is over, the United States fainted in the toilet, the Russians shattered their glasses, the British were depressed at first, and then said they didn't care. Prince Ruprecht was secretly happy behind the scenes. So what are the Japanese doing? First of all, it must be affirmed that more than 99% of the Japanese fell into the carnival, even when they knew that the Qing Dynasty was preparing for peace talks, they were never so excited!

After all, what is the Qing Dynasty? It's just a corrupt and backward country. The gold content is too low. Many Japanese even think that it is an insult to Japan that the Sino-Japanese War can be fought for such a long time! But this time is different, the powerful Japanese navy cleanly killed the navies of 2 powerful countries in one go!

One is the United States, which used to have feuds with Japan. One is Russia, which is now at odds with Japan! The Japanese have not forgotten what these two countries did during the peace talks between Qing and Japan. Now that two countries have been beaten up directly, the whole of Japan is very happy!

But happy is happy, but few people have thought about what Japan should do next. Of course, in the eyes of most Japanese, the next step is to gradually occupy the Philippines and end everything. Still need to think about what to do next? But actually? The top Japanese leaders who have just won a decisive naval battle are not having an easy time now!

"To be honest, even when I first occupied Manila Bay, I never thought that I would have such a tragic battle with the US and Russian fleet. From the bottom of my heart, I still have some fear. Only when I saw the army in Manila Bay It was only after the attack that I made up my mind."

The Japanese fleet went to Hong Kong and Taipei for maintenance and replenishment respectively, while Huashan Suikiki took Togo Heihachiro to Ryukyu to report the situation to the Japanese high-level. Tell your own thoughts clearly.

"So now? Are you still afraid?" Ito Hirobumi said calmly.

"If you just look at it from my point of view, I'm not afraid at all! Because there is no existence in the entire Pacific Ocean that can rival the United Fleet!" Huashan Jiji's words revealed a hint of pride. "But what I worry about is that after this war is over, even if we win the Philippines, will our strategic situation worsen? Russia is our enemy, and the United States will also exist like an enemy!"

"It's very good that you can think of this, which shows that you have a strategic vision. And what I am worried about now is this. The current military strength of the Americans is not terrible. What is terrible is the national strength and war potential of the United States! After this stimulation, The military strength of the Americans will definitely improve!" Ito Hirobumi nodded and said.

"Then is the government going to reconcile with the United States?" Suji Kawayama's second sentence immediately reduced his height in the eyes of Hirobumi Ito from 1.72 meters to 1.27 meters!

"How the hell is this reconciliation? The Japanese withdrew from the Philippines? If we knew this, why did we fight this battle? Shared with the Americans? It's also impossible! No class in Japan will agree, let alone the Americans." Ito Bowen said in his heart. And his complexion also turned cloudy.

"If this is the case, then the only way is to prevent the United States from entering the Far East forever! Cut off the dirty hands of Americans reaching into the Far East!" Facing the ashen-faced Ito Hirobumi, Kawayama Sukiki was not afraid, but directly Said the fundamental purpose of this trip. Huashan Ziji knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation between the United States and Japan, but he was worried that the high-level executives would have illusions, so he decided to test it out, and the results of the test showed that the situation was not bad, and he was finally able to confide in some ideas!

"The war is not over,

The Sulu Sea naval battle only gave the empire a head start, but it does not mean that the dust has settled. The Americans still have three battleships and some cruisers in their homeland, and they are also running around to get new battleships! With the financial and strength of the Americans, it is not difficult at all to form a navy stronger than the Dewey fleet together with the Russians. "

"Even if the Americans give up the Philippines temporarily, it doesn't mean that we can sit back and relax. On the contrary, if we are not careful, the entire empire will be in a doomed situation! Although the support of the British is important, it is not enough for honor. This is from the Three Kingdoms It can be seen from the issue of intervening in the Liao Dynasty that the British will not offend two or more big countries at the same time for the sake of the empire, so the only way is to rely on ourselves!" Togo Heihachiro also added.

"I feel a very dangerous signal from your words! You are going to continue to expand the war!" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang's slightly hoarse voice sounded from the side.

"We..." Facing the high-ranking Saiyuan Temple, both Kawayama Sukiki and Togo Heihachiro were a little nervous.

"It's better for soldiers to interfere less in politics. Your brains can't handle those troublesome things." Looking at the admiral who was a little nervous, Xiyuan Temple eased his tone and continued: "Talk about your thoughts, maybe you can give the emperor and some suggestions from the government."

"Our conflict and confrontation with the United States in Honolulu has been going on for a long time. This is an opportunity to understand that as long as Honolulu can fall into the hands of the Empire, then if it is made into a fortress, the Americans will never be able to set foot in it." Western Pacific!" Huashan Jiji said.

Does Japan have ideas for Hawaii? I am very sure of that! Otherwise, why did Japan go to Hawaii to compete with the Americans in the 1980s? The Japanese don't just think about it, they have made some plans, otherwise what is the treaty signed between Japan and the Queen of Hawaii? How can Japanese immigrants account for 40% of the total population of Hawaii?

Historically, the standoff that occurred in 1897 because the Hawaiian government refused entry to Japanese immigrants lasted until the end of the Spanish-American War. In the end, the Japanese returned home and the United States paid certain compensation. Since then, the Americans have successfully turned Honolulu into a state of the United States with the prestige of their victory in the Spanish-American War, thus completely cutting off the Japanese thinking, but now, the situation is different!

It turns out that the Japanese are afraid of the strength of the Americans and dare not rob them. What now? When the Japanese feel that the military strength of the Americans is no more than this, and they easily beat them down, then they must grab this piece of fat that Japan has already coveted! What's in Honolulu right now? As soon as the Japanese warship arrived, they sent 2,000 soldiers and it was done with the cooperation of Japanese overseas Chinese! What a bargain!
