Besides, at this time, the Emperor of Japan had already fled with his Guards Division to Yamanashi Prefecture, which is closest to Tokyo.
After arriving here, the Emperor of Japan finally settled down. Although there was no danger for the time being, his control over the country was somewhat weak. Therefore, the Emperor of Japan immediately sent his envoy to find Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi.
Ito Hirobumi did not go far after leaving Tokyo. He also observed the situation in nearby counties and cities. After receiving the emperor's order, he immediately drove to Yamanashi Prefecture to meet the emperor.
Then Japanese ministers, important officials and chaebols rushed to Yamanashi Prefecture one after another, and Japan finally entered an organized state again.
Now, the Emperor of Japan finally has complete control over Japan's situation again.
The current Emperor of Japan was already furious. He was roaring and cursing loudly at the people under his command in a luxurious garden that served as his palace.
"Baga, Baga, Baga, are you all a bunch of losers? The enemy has already reached Tokyo, and you don't even know it."
The group of people kneeling in front of the emperor did not dare to raise their heads at all. Their only hope now was that the emperor quickly calmed down and began to seriously arrange counterattack measures against Liu Hai's fleet.
The Emperor of Japan cursed for nearly an hour. Finally, he felt his mouth was dry and he stopped cursing.
Then he sat on the throne in the middle and drank a cup of tea, and then said to the people below: "What should we do now? You guys come up with a way immediately. Otherwise, I will be expelled from Tokyo. If this spreads around the world, it will be terrible."
It’s time to shake.”
What Ito Hirobumi, who was kneeling below, was thinking was that now that everyone in the world knew about it, what was the use of doing this anymore.
But now he did not dare to talk back to the emperor openly, so he could only stand up and said: "Your Majesty, the Nanyang Navy has four giant ships. Our Imperial Japanese Army is no match at all. Judging from the current situation, it is better to just
According to Liu Hai's wishes, we will give up our claim to Qing territory and temporarily protect other interests."
As soon as Ito Hirobumi finished speaking, the emperor threw down the teacup in his hand, which made Ito Hirobumi kneel down a few steps to the side.
"Are you a pig? I got the land with great difficulty. If I give up now, how can you be like the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line?"
After hearing this, Hirobumi Ito disagreed with the emperor. After all, Japan is an island country. The Nanyang Navy is now powerful, but if it blocks Japan's territorial waters, the soldiers on the Korean Peninsula will run out of ammunition and food.
As the land minister, Oyama Iwa was very sober. He did not expect that the emperor was so ignorant of current affairs, so he hurriedly came out to admonish, "Your Majesty, you are no longer thinking about other people's lands? But how to ensure the safety of Japan?"
The empire's waters are calm, and I think what Ito Hirobumi said is very reasonable. Please think again."
Although Oyamayan was polite on the surface, his tone was very firm. After hearing what he said, the emperor had some dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he did not dare to express it all.
Because this Oyama Iwa is not an ordinary person? He is one of the nine elders of Japan, a field marshal, and one of the founders of the Imperial Japanese Army. Oyama Iwa actively participated in the Meiji Restoration Movement in his early years. He paid attention to absorbing new ideas from abroad and was very committed to the establishment of the modern bourgeoisie.
The Japanese military played an important role? It was one of the key figures in promoting Japan to dominate Asia in modern times and become a world military power.
Such an identity is simply not comparable to that of Ito Hirobumi and others. It can even be said that the current emperor is a puppet pushed out by these elders.
The Emperor of Japan took a deep breath, and then a slightly stiff smile appeared on his face? "Oshanyan is right, I was a little impulsive just now? Since those apprentices can no longer be saved, then Liu Hai can be left.
The question now is who to send to disable Liu Hai and make him withdraw from the army."
Now Japan's ruling and opposition parties have reached a consensus, that is, the Japanese combined fleet simply cannot compete with the Nanyang Navy? If Japan wants to survive, it can only endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden.
Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu stood up at this time and said: "Yesterday, I contacted the British Embassy in Japan and informed them of Japan's situation at that time and the true strength of the Liu Hai Nanyang Fleet."
The emperor became interested when he heard this, "Then what is Yingjili's reply?"
"It's a pity. Your Majesty, England didn't have any reply. They just told me that they need to verify our intelligence. It seems to me that they don't believe that Liu Hai has such a huge warship."
In fact, not only could the British government not believe this, but people like them would not have believed that there were such huge warships in the world if they had not seen it with their own eyes.
The Emperor of Japan sighed, and then said: "Immediately contact the British government again. I think the British Embassy should already know about the current situation in Tokyo. Now they will not doubt us. I hope the British government can intervene."
After the emperor said these words, all the ministers below also looked like lovers. They knew that this battle could not be fought.
I originally thought that the combined fleet would defeat the Beiyang Navy and the Nanyang Navy would not dare to go north. Unexpectedly, the Nanyang Navy not only went north to Japan but also had 4 super battleships, forcing Japan into a corner.
If Japan does not have a navy now, it will not be able to continue fighting. In addition, their country's domestic funds can no longer support the war, and the first indemnity promised by the Qing Dynasty has not yet been received. Now Japan can be said to be at the end of its rope.
After the imperial meeting, Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu personally sneaked back to Tokyo with a small group of people.
Along the way, it seemed that Tokyo was in chaos and had become a city without order. They kept encountering incidents of robbery and rape along the way.
And everywhere they passed, corpses lay everywhere. Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu choked up a little when he saw such a tragic scene. This was a disaster that Japan had not suffered in many years.
Doesn’t it mean that God has blessed this continent and no country can land on the main island of Japan? How could such a tragic thing happen?
As we get closer and closer to Tokyo, the tragic scene becomes more and more serious. By the time we reach downtown Tokyo, it has become a piece of rubble, with almost no intact building.
Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu was led by his attendants to the embassy area. Fortunately, there was no damage here, but now there are many foreigners holding firearms outside the embassy area, forming a crude defense line to block the Japanese outside.
People enter the embassy area.
And it seems that there were conflicts between the two sides, because hundreds of Japanese corpses were displayed not far from the embassy area.
Seeing this, Mutsu Munemitsu's eyes let out a sinister light. Sooner or later, these Western European red deer will let them know how powerful the Japanese Empire is.
But now Mutsu Munemitsu was very sober. He approached the embassy area with a smile on his face.
But before he could get close to the embassy area, the British soldiers in front began to shout, "Stop advancing immediately, or we will shoot immediately."
Mutsu Munemitsu hurriedly stopped and asked the translator beside him to shout to the other side.
The young translator from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rushed forward and shouted: "This is Mutsu Munemitsu, the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, requesting to meet with the British Ambassador to Japan."
When the British officer on the opposite side heard this, he lowered his gun for a moment, then made a gesture to the other people next to him, and they immediately left.
After a while the soldier came back and said a few words in the officer's ear.
The British officer then waved his hands around, asking his soldiers to put down their guns, then walked out of the position and came to Mutsu Munemitsu, looked her up and down, and then said: "Mr. Gongshu, you are allowed to carry no more than
10 people, enter the embassy area.”
Although Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu felt a little humiliated that he could not decide the number of followers in Japan's own territory, Britain was now Japan's big brother and would not tolerate any disobedience from Japan.
So Mutsu Munemitsu could only hold back his anger and carefully followed the officer into the embassy area, and then they followed the road into the British Consulate.
When he arrived here, he only saw Royce Moray, the British Minister to Japan, waiting for him in the living room with a serious face.
The two of them have been friends for a long time, and they have not interacted with each other once or twice, so they just said a few words casually and then got down to the topic.
"Mr. Foreign Secretary, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"
"Mr. Minister, the matter has become very clear. We, the Japanese Empire, have no way to deal with the navy outside. Now we hope that the United Kingdom can come forward to mediate."
Royce Mari also sighed. Yesterday, Japan informed him that there were four pairs of huge warships in the Nanyang Navy outside Tokyo Bay. He still didn't believe it and thought it was a fantasy. When the other side opened fire,
Only then did he realize that his thoughts were too simple. There really were such huge battleships in the world.
"I will report this matter to London, but I will take any action before London makes a decision. I hope you can understand."
Mutsu Munemitsu was already satisfied with the other party's answer. When he wanted to come to the UK, the government did not want an uncontrollable force to appear in the Far East.
"Okay, then I'll wait in Yamanashi Prefecture for Mr. Big Deal's reply."
After hearing these words, Royce Mari couldn't help but smile. It seems that the Emperor of Japan has gone to Yamanashi Prefecture. I don't know how much treasure he took away. Otherwise, it would be cheap.
I got those bangs on the sea.
Little did the ambassador know that because the Emperor of Japan left in a hurry, he took almost nothing with him except some personal belongings.
While Liu Hai was talking to the Japanese Foreign Minister and the British Ambassador, he was now standing in the Imperial Palace of the Japanese Emperor commanding his soldiers to move things inside.
