The long Pacific route made Edel gradually get used to the bumps on the sea. After the ship passed Hawaii, Edel actually adapted to sailing on the sea, so that Edel finally felt in the mood to appreciate the scenery on the sea.
The Delsey cruise ship is a new cruise ship that has only been sailing for two years, and its speed is relatively fast in the Pacific, so it only took more than 20 days to arrive at Japan, Edel's next destination.
Speaking of Japan, many people in later generations have a heartfelt disgust for Japan. The reason is very simple because of that catastrophic war. As for now, Japan is the only industrial country in the Far East. This is indeed a bit uncomfortable, but it is true.
It is a fact. Although Japan's industry is not far behind that of Italy, the distance needs to be considered. It can be said that its influence in East Asia is extraordinary, and its role cannot be ignored, whether it is good or bad.
It was with this mood that Edel set foot on this land.
Japan is also very interested in the visit of Edel and his party. The reason is simple because it is related to the Soviet Union. Although it defeated this opponent in the Russo-Japanese War, any knowledgeable person in Japan can see that the only
The only thing that can threaten Japan is this polar bear. As for the fanatical officers at the lower level, they cannot influence the country's choices.
Therefore, the Japanese met with a very high standard this time. Prime Minister Kato Takaaki personally brought people to the port to greet him.
As Edel and Queen Marie walked off the ship, the music started playing, and Foreign Minister Kijuro Shitahara stepped forward to greet Edel and his entourage and bowed.
"We sincerely welcome His Majesty Edel to Japan."
Edel looked at the kind-faced Japanese Foreign Minister who was wearing glasses in front of him and responded. "Thank you for your warm welcome. I believe that the friendship between our two countries will surely flourish."
"It is an honor for the people of both countries that His Majesty can think so."
After Foreign Minister Kijuro Shitahara finished speaking, he led Eder to Prime Minister Takaaki Kato, which was another friendly drama between the guest of honor and the guest. The welcoming ceremony looked grand, but in fact it took a very short time, because everyone knew that the journey was tiring.
It was too long and inappropriate. So after a brief conversation with the Prime Minister and others at the pier, the group of vehicles quickly left here with the military and police clearing the way.
After sending Edel and his party to their hotel, it was scheduled to be rest time, and the following welcome dinner was also inevitable. There was no way this was a diplomatic visit routine, and no one was exempt from it.
After Edel had a conversation with several important people in the visiting group, he returned to his room and closed his eyes to rest. The welcome dinner that followed could not go wrong.
"Welcome King Eder."
When Edel appeared at the welcome dinner, Prime Minister Kato Takaaki quickly came to greet him.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for welcoming us. I believe that the cooperation between our two countries will become even closer."
What kind of cooperation Romania can have with Japan is limited to its policy toward the Soviet Union and its navy. As for other aspects of cooperation, both countries have better choices.
Eder's words made Prime Minister Kato Takaaki's eyes light up, and he replied. "His Majesty the King is right. Our two countries will definitely reach a consensus on having a common goal."
Then Prime Minister Kato Takaaki led Edel to get to know everyone at the welcome dinner. Saionji Konobo, Inukai Takeshi, Takahashi Korekiyo, Tanaka Giichi and other famous and unknown figures of later generations were all introduced to Edel one by one. And Edel
We also found that these are basically the Constitutional Council or figures related to it. It seems that power in Japan is currently in the hands of these Japanese politicians.
As for the image of the prime minister who is either the navy or the army in the impression of later generations, it is still very early. Although these people are not known for their outstanding abilities, they are much better than the reckless men who have more muscles than brains in their heads. Therefore, Edel also said at the welcome dinner
It's pretty easy to do.
Moreover, Edel also discovered from the conversation that the current mainstream of Japan is to resist the possible invasion of the Soviet Union in the north, and to hijack the power development of the United States and Britain in the south. As for the Republic of China, which is currently prone to wars, it is pitifully defined as economic colonization. As for seizing
The concept of relocating its own people in its territory is currently not within the scope of consideration by those in power.
Only Edel knew that a major earthquake in Tokyo made the Japanese discover just how unsafe their country was, and that this would also change the political structure of East Asia.
The welcome dinner was very successful for the top leaders of the two countries. Japan found a potential ally that could target the Soviet Union through testing. Edel also basically understood the attitude of the top leaders of the Japanese government, which at least allowed Romania not to suffer in dealing with it.
The next day, Edel's schedule came. In order to show respect for Edel, today he will go to the palace to meet with the Crown Prince Hirohito. This did not satisfy Edel who wanted to meet the idiot Emperor Taisho.
There is nothing we can do about it. Emperor Taisho has already made many jokes. How dare the Japanese government continue to let him make jokes, let alone Eder, who is still a powerful Western monarch.
The residence of the Emperor of Japan was originally called the Imperial Palace, and the East Garden was where the Emperor and his family lived, and it was also where the meeting with Eder took place.
Under the leadership of the valet, Edel walked through the palace to the meeting place. As soon as he entered the door, a young man wearing glasses occupied the position of the host, and Prime Minister Kato Takaaki and others stood on his left and right respectively. Edel immediately saw that
You know, this is the future experience of Emperor Hirohito, the only head of state of the Axis powers to escape punishment during World War II.
As for Hirohito, who is still the crown prince, after seeing Edel enter the door, he immediately led the prime minister and others to greet him. "Welcome the king to Japan."
Listening to the young Hirohito speaking the so-called crane sound with his voice, the translator on the side immediately translated it to Edel. There was no way Edel didn't know much about Japanese, he only knew that I was going to shame him.
The famous phrase "flax falls", and he learned this from Japanese porn and games in his previous life. As for other foreign languages, he only knows English, German and Chinese, his mother tongue in his previous life, but he doesn't know anything else at all.
So after the translator finished listening to him, Edel continued. "Thank you for your country's hospitality. I need to say thank you here."
The subsequent conversation between the two parties was carried out with the help of an interpreter, and it was basically all polite words. Moreover, Edel could also see that the crown prince spoke with some deliberateness, as if he was imitating this person. From the information of later generations,
Of course, Edel, who knew him well, knew that he was imitating his grandfather Meiji.
The whole meeting couldn't be said to be very lively, because Edel felt awkward, mainly because the so-called crane sound sounded uncomfortable. After finally getting through this meeting, the subsequent talks with the Prime Minister and others were much better.
"King Edel, your country's cutting off the Soviet Union's tentacles extending to Europe is a powerful response to its evil intentions. The outstanding performance of your country's army ensures peace on the European continent."
Prime Minister Kato Takaaki gave Edel a high hat as soon as he opened his mouth.
"No, this is just a manifestation of the fact that the European people do not want peace to be broken. Our country's defeat of other countries in the Soviet Union also helped a lot."
No matter how willing Edel was to wear this high hat, he immediately attributed it to the help of various countries.
"But the Soviet Union will not give up on this, and our two countries are its neighbors, so I think we can cooperate more in intelligence and military affairs."
Prime Minister Takaaki Kato immediately stated the purpose of this meeting.
"Indeed, the Soviet Union inherited most of Russia's population and territory, and its size is terrifying. Coupled with its agitating ideas, it is our biggest enemy. Moreover, its ideas also encourage people from all over the world to resist the government. It is really worse than Russia's
A more dangerous existence."
Faced with Prime Minister Kato's words, Eder naturally revealed the worrying side of the Soviet Union.
"It's really scary."
Now that the two heads of state in charge have reached an agreement, the next specific cooperation will naturally be left to the following. Edel also took the opportunity to express the hope of getting Japan's help in the navy. For the weak Romanian Navy, Edel
Del was also heartbroken.
The Japanese side naturally discussed Eder's proposal for naval cooperation. In the end, Japanese senior officials who felt that Romania was not a threat to them agreed to cooperate. In return for Japan's willingness to cooperate, Romania will naturally strengthen exchanges on the army. In addition to
In addition, a batch of petroleum products were sold to it at a discounted price of 20%, which is currently the only one that can match Japan's discernment.
After discussing the general direction of cooperation, Edel enjoyed the scenery under Japanese officials. Naturally, someone would take care of the specific details of the cooperation. When Edel came back from the trip, he naturally saw the negotiated Romania-Japan cooperation agreement, which mainly included:
Japan cooperated with Romania in the army and navy, and the other two countries reached an agreement to share intelligence against Soviet Russia.
And Edel also took this agreement with him and boarded the cruise ship to the homeland of his previous life with satisfaction. He seemed to have waited for this moment for too long.
