Toyo Empire, Dongkyo, Prime Minister’s Office.
Prime Minister Kei Hara summoned a group of cabinet ministers to discuss the Washington Conference and the final signing of the Five-Power Naval Treaty.
“Gentlemen, the Washington Conference is over. But at this meeting, the empire was undoubtedly suppressed by the Russians and the lighthouse country. The final signing of the “Five-Power Naval Treaty” was even more unfavorable to the empire. The number of capital ships of the Imperial Navy can only be retained at twelve. Although, this can already be regarded as the fourth most powerful navy in the world. However, against the previous three naval powers, there is no chance of victory. In particular, the Russians have been watching us, which has had a great impact on the security of the empire!”
Although he was a civil official, he also felt the serious threat that the Eastern Empire was now facing.
“Yes, gentlemen. At this meeting in Washington, the Russians really have bad intentions, and the empire must focus on guarding against the Russians!” Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida added.
“Do we have to abide by the Five-Power Naval Treaty on 01, or can’t we secretly build warships?” asked General Yoshiichi Tanaka, Minister of War, frowning.
Although the contradictions between the army and navy of the Eastern Empire were very sharp. However, when it comes to national security, the interests of the two sides are still the same.
If the Eastern Empire could not have a powerful navy. Then, they will be trapped on these small islands forever. If the Eastern Empire wanted to expand abroad, it was simply impossible. This is why when the Navy needs to build warships on a large scale, even if the Army is very dissatisfied, there is still no opposition.
After General Yuzaburo Kato listened, he shook his head repeatedly.
“The Russians will inevitably keep an eye on us, and if we really dare to violate the treaty, they will definitely do it.” I even suspect that the Russians are already preparing to do something to us. It’s just that they lack an excuse. If we take the initiative to deliver the excuse to them, they will definitely not be polite!”
“Is it so serious?” General Yoshida Tanaka’s face was very ugly.
The other cabinet ministers also became serious.
“A few years have passed since the end of the world war, and the Russians have long since recovered from it. As the empire’s strength grew, the Russians inevitably saw the empire as a thorn in their side. If there was a chance to solve the empire once and for all and bring it down, would they let it go?” asked Senior General Yuzaburo Kato.
“Damn the Russians, it’s just too vicious!” scolded General Yoshiichi Tanaka.
“It seems that we are in a very dangerous situation now. If the Russians really want to attack us, will we be able to defeat them?” asked Hara.
Senior Admiral Yuzaburo Kato shook his head: “Your Excellency Prime Minister, the gap between the strength of the Imperial Navy and the Russians is too great. Even if only facing the Pacific Fleet of the Russians, there is not much chance of victory. Once the Russians sent reinforcements from other fleets to reinforce the Pacific Fleet. Then, the Imperial Navy has no chance of victory at all. ”
“Then what should we do?” Hearing this answer, Prime Minister Hara was a little anxious.
As prime minister, he naturally hoped that the Eastern Empire would become stronger instead of being defeated by the enemy.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, I am afraid that our own strength alone will not be enough to deal with the Russians. We have to get the support of other countries. In this way, at least the Russians will not dare to act rashly, and it can also buy us more time!” suggested Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida.
Prime Minister Hara nodded: “This is a solution.” We need to strengthen ties with the Empire that never sets. Over the past few years, the relationship between us and the Sun Never Sets Empire is not as close as before. From now on, it is necessary to further strengthen the linkage. ”
The original rise of the Eastern Empire had a great deal to do with the support of the Sun Never Set Empire. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
It can be said that without the support of the people who never set, they would not have been able to defeat the Qing Empire, let alone become a great power in the Far East.
It’s just that the support of the people who never set is not gratuitous, but they are asked to serve as pawns of the empire that never sets, and even lackeys.
In order for the Eastern Empire to rise, they naturally had to give up something. For example, dignity.
Unfortunately, they were unable to succeed when the sun never set and asked them to challenge the Russian Empire. So much so that the rise of the Eastern Empire was interrupted in this way.
After the outbreak of the World War, the Eastern Empire made a lot of money by selling war materials to the Sun Never Set Empire and the Gallic Kingdom. At the same time, as the sun never sets, the Imperial Navy continues to serve new warships, so that their national strength has been greatly improved.
This also made the Eastern Empire gradually want to get rid of the control of the sun that does not set, and does not want to be a lackey for the sun does not set people.
Anyone, if possible, probably doesn’t want to be a lackey.
But unexpectedly, the Russian Empire once again set its sights on them. So much so that the Eastern Empire now has to hug the thigh of the sun never sets again.
“Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister 130. If necessary, we can visit the Sun Never Set Empire and deepen our ties with the Sun Never Set. Yasuya Uchida said.
“I can arrange for my visit to the Empire of the Sun Never Set in the near future. Prime Minister Hara ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” replied Uchida.
“In addition, in addition to the Sun Never Sets Empire, we must also strengthen our ties with the Lighthouse Country. Although, at this Washington conference, the Beacon State and the Russians united to suppress us. However, it is absolutely impossible for the lighthouse country and the Russians to wear a pair of pants. This is undoubtedly an opportunity for the empire. Although the lighthouse country is very defensive about the rise of the empire. But they were equally worried that the Russians had become stronger. We can undoubtedly cooperate on this issue. Uchida continued.
The original head nodded one after another, for the Eastern Empire, the lighthouse country was also a great help.
After all, many of the raw materials for the production of the Eastern Empire, such as important scrap steel and oil, came from the lighthouse country. Moreover, the lighthouse country was also an important market for the Eastern Empire.
Being able to ease the contradictions with the Lighthouse Country and strengthen ties is also very beneficial to the Eastern Empire. What’s more, the Lighthouse Country also has an extremely powerful naval force.
