As soon as Ito Hirobumi finished speaking, the other Japanese ministers present were in an uproar.
Ito Hirobumi's meaning is already very clear, which is to give up the benefits gained from defeating the Beiyang Navy and stick to the homeland.
As the land minister, Oyama Iwa could not tolerate North Korea, which was bought with the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers, and was given away in vain by Ito Hirobumi.
"This is absolutely not feasible. If we give up North Korea, we will no longer have the qualifications to negotiate with Liu Hai. What I mean is that since the navy is no longer useful, even if the army is called back, it will be of no use. It is better to let
The army that has already invaded the Qing Dynasty's interior returned to North Korea to hold on. As for the Japanese mainland, no matter how many warships Liu Hai has, his limited number of sailors cannot destroy Japan. As long as we persist for a few more months, the British navy will come.
Able to bring the dead back to life."
As soon as Dashanyan finished speaking, the people below began to whisper. According to Dashanyan's method, it is indeed the best decision at the moment.
The Emperor of Japan also looked at the Oyama Rock with admiration, and became increasingly unfavorable to Hirobumi Ito on the side. The current Prime Minister of Japan was already at a loss.
Therefore, the Emperor of Japan did not ask what Ito Hirobumi meant, but said to the following: "The meaning of Oyama Rock is completely in line with my ideas. From now on, residents along the coast of Japan will evacuate to the inland, and all factories will be relocated inland as soon as possible.
, if it’s too late, send the important technical personnel to the interior first.”
As soon as the Emperor of Japan finished speaking, the people below immediately bowed down together. From this moment on, Japan made the final decision on its strategy for the Nanyang Navy, which was to fully support and wait for reinforcements.
After the Japanese Emperor made his decision, their order was disseminated via telegraph to various important cities along the coast of Japan.
Because Japan is an island, almost all of its major cities are concentrated along the coast. Now the Emperor of Japan requires all factories to move inland. This is a big project that cannot be completed in a few days.
Therefore, although after receiving the order, these Japanese people desperately dismantled the machine and tried to transport it to the inland mountains but hid it. However, one factor is that these machines are not only huge?
There is a shortage of technical personnel and it is very difficult to disassemble.
So how many days did the Emperor of Japan pass the order? The work of relocating various Japanese coasts to the inland has not yet been fully launched.
But at this time, the Nanyang Navy led by Liu Hai had returned to Tokyo Bay, Japan.
After Liu Hai returned to Tokyo Bay, Japan, he immediately took the captured Captain Akitsusu: Uemura Hikosei? to his own battleship Huangdi.
Liu Hai was sitting on the sofa in the conference room. He looked at Uemura Hikosei who was being entered by two sailors. He smiled slightly and then said contemptuously: "Do you know the reason why I called you here this time?"
Uemura Hikosei was deeply influenced by Japanese Bushido. He originally hated this surrender. But after the surrender, he was imprisoned with Togo Heihachiro. After getting Togo Heihachiro's explanation, he knew his intentions.
In order to save the last seeds of the Japanese Navy.
So for Liu Hai's contemptuous question? He immediately showed a flattering smile: "I don't know what the generalissimo is called humble. But as long as the humble function is fulfilled, I will go through fire and water immediately to contribute to the generalissimo."
Liu Hai looked at the Japanese captain in front of him who was constantly flattering him. Not only did he not feel happy at all, but a chill rose in his heart.
How could these Japanese endure humiliation and bear such heavy burdens for the sake of the country's rise? How could they compare to the men of the Qing Dynasty? The difference is simply thousands of miles away.
When Liu Hai heard this, his face became serious and he stopped joking with him.
"My Nanyang Navy will arrive in Japan again soon. I ask you to bring a letter to your emperor. Can you do it?"
Uemura Hikosei's eyes immediately lit up. He didn't expect such a good thing, so he quickly agreed: "I am a slave of the country, and I am willing to serve the generalissimo."
Liu Hai nodded to the guard next to him, who immediately took a letter from the table and delivered it to Uemura Hikosei.
Liu Hai then said: "You can leave now. I hope we won't be on the warship on the battlefield, otherwise it won't be so easy to let you go back."
Uemura Hikosei didn't seem to take Liu Hai's warning to heart, and then supported Gongzi and exited the cabin.
After Uemura Hikosei left, Liu Hai asked Liu Wei who was standing aside: "Do you think the Emperor of Japan will accept our conditions and surrender unconditionally?"
"I thought such a thing would never happen. Japan is not at the end of its rope yet, and Japan has signed a secret alliance with Britain. Britain will never sit back and watch Japan be occupied by us."
Liu Hai nodded, and then said with a smile: "It seems that we have to face off against the British one more time to gain hegemony in East Asia."
Liu Wei fully agreed with Liu Hai's judgment, "Commander, according to time, the British government has now known the news of Japan's defeat. If it wants to send troops, I am afraid that the British fleet will appear in Singapore in three months.
."
Liu Hai smiled nonchalantly, and then said: "In the ocean now, it is no longer time for the British to ride alone. As long as he dares to come, I will let his entire army be annihilated."
Liu Wei naturally has confidence in Liu Hai. He has already received Liu Hai's explanation that there are 6 missile ships that have not been brought out. Once the main force of the British Navy comes, he will be given a taste of the anti-ship missiles that will be available more than 100 years later.
Let's talk about Uemura Hikosei. After leaving the battleship Huangdi, he took a small boat and headed straight for Tokyo Bay. He had not returned to Tokyo for several months, and he felt like he was returning home.
Little did he know that what he saw when he first came to Tokyo's Matsumoto was not neat ships and saluting buildings, but a mess, with not a single large ship on the pier.
As a naval officer, Uemura Hikosei immediately knew that Tokyo Bay had probably suffered a devastating attack from the Nanyang Navy. Otherwise, it would not have been so undefended. When one of his small boats arrived at the shore, no one stopped it.
After Hikosei Uemura landed ashore, he immediately hurried towards the urban area of Japan. As a result, what he saw along the way was not neat buildings, but broken bricks and tiles, and the flames of some buildings had just been extinguished.
Uemura Hikosei was heartbroken when he saw this situation. His family might be in danger now. But he couldn't think about it now. He had more important things to attend to.
Uemura Hikosei finally found a policeman on the streets of Tokyo and asked him where the Japanese government is now.
This Japanese policeman was helping a family clean up the ruins. He was a little unhappy when he was suddenly arrested. However, when he saw the man in front of him, he was wearing a navy officer's uniform and seemed to have a high military rank, so he quickly informed him.
The Japanese government is currently working in an elementary school.
After Hikosei Uemura got the specific location, he immediately picked up a bicycle on the street and rushed towards the elementary school.
When Uemura Hikosei arrived at the temporary office of the Japanese government, he saw that there were several relatively complete buildings here, and a few soldiers were standing at the door to maintain order.
As soon as Uemura Hikosei approached, he was blocked by these soldiers with guns.
"Who are you? This is the Japanese government's office. Please leave immediately."
Uemura Hikosei threw the bicycle aside, took out a document from his pocket, sent it to the soldier, and then said: "I am the captain of the cruiser Akitsusu: Uemura Hikosei, I request to see Japan now.
prime minister."
The soldier took his certificate, looked at it, and found that it was indeed a certificate issued by the Japanese Military Department. He immediately returned the certificate to Uemura Hikosei, then gave the other party a military salute and said: "Sir, please wait a moment.
I will report it to the Prime Minister right away."
After the soldier finished speaking, he hurriedly ran inside. Without a cigarette, the soldier ran out again, came to Uemura Hikouchi, saluted him, and then said: "Your Majesty the Emperor.
I know you are back, and I ask you to come and see me immediately."
After saying that, he led Uemura Hikouchi from the front to a relatively spacious office in the main building.
"Your Majesty Uemura, His Majesty the Emperor and the officers are inside. I can't send you off again once we get here. Please take care of yourself."
Uemura Hikosei nodded slightly, dismissed the soldier, then straightened his uniform, and then walked inside.
After Uemura Hikosei entered the room, he found that it was a suite with an inside and an outside. There were seven or eight young public officials standing outside, who seemed to be the secretaries of the big bosses who were meeting inside.
One of them saw Uemura Hikosei coming in and immediately went up to greet him: "Kamimura-kun, the emperor and all the adults are inside, you can go in immediately."
After Uemura Hikosei received permission, he opened the door and entered the inner room.
In the conference room inside, the emperor was sitting in the middle, and the other members were standing on both sides.
As soon as they heard the door knock, all their eyes were focused on Uemura Hinoki.
In response to these suspicious glances, Uemura Hikosei came to His Majesty the Emperor with a calm face, and then bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, Hiko Uemura, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor."
Emperor Meiji of Japan looked at it, and then said: "How come the Japanese combined fleet is gone? Didn't the Japanese military headquarters issue an order asking them to avoid a decisive battle?"
After hearing the emperor's question, Uemura Hikosei felt a little murmuring in his heart. During the meeting at the Okinawa base, Ito Yuhiro asked everyone's opinions. Almost all the captains, including him, demanded to go north to fight the Nanyang Navy.
If the Emperor had known about this, he would have thought that they had taken the commander hostage and headed north, which was why they were so defeated.
So the captain rolled his eyes and found a solution. Now he can only feel sorry for the commander of the combined fleet, Yuhiro Ito.
