Age of Conquest Reborn

The dispute over the focus of Japan's homeland defense has come to an end for the time being. Prince Zain did not lose much. The empire's heavy troops are still deployed in the north. The navy did not gain much. They only got back part of the military power. It is not a happy situation for everyone. The only thing

The one who was disappointed was the peacemaker, General Mitsuichi Yoneuchi, Minister of War.

Zai Ren's position remained unchanged, and Nagano and Yamazaki obtained part of the military power. Only he could offer advice and adjust the tit-for-tat conflict between the army and navy. This could be regarded as resolving the siege for His Majesty the Emperor, but not even a single hair was gained.

What is this thing called?

Minai Koichi felt quite uncomfortable and depressed.

Emperor Hirohito saw the expression of Koichi Mineuchi in his eyes. Of course, he would not let him down or sad. He glanced at the ministers with different expressions and said slowly: "My dear friends, the current status of the empire is

, you all know in your heart that it is difficult for the empire alone to ensure that the homeland will not be devastated by war!"

"Therefore, I have made a decision to appoint Ai Minai as a special envoy, specifically responsible for dealing with the Italians and obtaining more foreign aid. I authorize you to exercise the greatest authority on behalf of me and the Empire of Japan to persuade the Italians.

Invest more troops!"

Emperor Hirohito is also willing to risk everything. As long as Tang Qiuli is not suppressed by the soldiers, he can destroy the Japanese Empire. It is called pouring the power of the empire and winning the favor of the Italians. In other words, Koichi Yoneuchi can use all the resources of Japan.

, befriended Mussolini and dragged the Italians into the water, his power was greatly enhanced!

Hearing the appointment of Emperor Hirohito, Koichi Mineuchi not only did not feel the slightest joy, but on the contrary, waves of fear came over his heart, and he was under great pressure. Italians are absolutely ugly-looking guys who eat meat without leaving any soup.

Solini had no dealings with him, and Feisald alone allowed the empire to take out the Hawaiian Islands.

This job is definitely not easy to do. Even if Mussolini continues to wade through troubled waters, the empire will have to pay a huge price. What will the people think of me? This should be the job of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When will it be my turn?

The soldier went to handle diplomatic affairs, but Koichi Yoneuchi could not postpone it. He could only bow and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I can only do my best!"

Minister of Foreign Affairs Kuraki Noma frowned and felt unhappy at the same time. He didn't know what happened to His Majesty the Emperor today. He actually handed over such important foreign affairs to Koichi Yoneuchi, a powerful warrior. Isn't it the most ridiculous thing in the world?

, if soldiers can also do diplomacy well, why do we need the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

However, Kuraki Noma did not come forward. His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have other motives for competing for this job. It seemed inappropriate to come forward at this time. Furthermore, he had dealt with Mussolini and knew the virtues of Italians.

Just let Minai Hikaru hit the nail on the head. Only then will he understand the difficulties of diplomacy. His Majesty the Emperor will naturally think of himself.

Neither Koichi Mineuchi nor Kuraki Noma had a clue of Emperor Hirohito's thoughts. Now he is definitely willing to go all out and bet on the fate of the country, even if it means betting on the Empire of Japan. He sees it very accurately.

, if the country perishes, everything will be in vain.

For this reason, even if the Japanese Empire was reduced to an Italian colony, it would be better than being destroyed by that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. After all, the Italians have no inexorable feud with themselves and the Japanese Empire. As long as they are here, the Japanese royal family will be there.

, endured humiliation and heavy burdens for decades, and with the forbearance and ruthlessness of the Yamato nation, it was still able to become one of the great powers on par with Germany.

At that time, the Italians will have to get out and spit out as much as they eat. The Meiji Restoration of the late emperor is the best example. Let Koichi Minai, a guy with a military background, handle diplomacy, and there may be unexpected breakthroughs and achievements.

Harvest?

All parties had their own thoughts, and Emperor Hirohito had his own plans. Regarding the appointment of Koichi Yoneuchi, there was surprisingly nominal opposition, and it was successfully passed. Of course, the current ministers were malicious because they did not want to cause trouble for His Majesty the Emperor, so,

Koichi Mineuchi, a military diplomat with all the resources of the Japanese Empire in his hands, officially took office.

After the meeting, Koichi Yonai, who was worried and under great pressure, found Foreign Minister Kurakino Noma and his humble and sincere attitude. He asked this leader in the imperial diplomacy for advice and begged him to send out capable officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Follow yourself to Italy.

This is the cleverness of Koichi Minai. He knows that he has a dark eye on foreign affairs. When he went to North America to find Feisald, he went with chips and preparations. Now, he has no intention of going to Italy.

After all, what's more, signing relevant diplomatic documents is a delicate job. You can't do it yourself, you have to be accompanied by professionals.

Seeing the top boss in Japan's imperial world take the initiative to lower his head and humbly ask for advice, Kuraki Noma felt secretly happy, so he couldn't help but give some advice, and then he wholeheartedly agreed to dispatch capable operatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Went to Italy to negotiate with Koichi Minai.

Two days later, a Japanese delegation headed by Koichi Yonai and composed of more than a dozen attachés from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs set off for Italy to plunge into the muddy waters of Mussolini.

Although Koichi Mineuchi was born as a soldier and had never done diplomacy before, his hybrid characteristics of a soldier and a politician allowed him to find a surprising way to win. He also knew what the Japanese Empire needed most now.

After meeting Italian Prime Minister Mussolini, Mineguang has been outspoken that he wants Italy to provide Japan with 1,500 combat aircraft, including 1,000 fighter jets and 500 bombers. After calculation, it is definitely a huge sum.

The amount is astonishing, and I also ask the Prime Minister to send an additional 100,000 soldiers to Japan. Japan will bear all the expenses.

Of course, Japan's national treasury is now at its lowest point, and it is impossible to come up with so much money. Koichi Yoneuchi did not intend to pay cash. The condition he offered to Mussolini was that in addition to the former western United States and the Hawaiian Islands,

In addition, the Ryukyu Islands were ceded to Italy and Kyushu Island in the Japanese archipelago was used as a military base for the Italian army in the Pacific. The Japanese government was only responsible for administrative management.

In addition, Japan pledged a quarter of its domestic tax revenue and one-half of its customs duties revenue in the next five years to Italy. In addition to these visible and tangible benefits, Koichi Mineuchi also seized Mussolini.

The mentality of coveting the Asian region represents the Japanese government's promise that once the Chinese attack is repelled and Japan's homeland is secured, Japan will use all its national strength to assist the Italian army in gaining dominance over the Korean Peninsula, the Australian continent, and the West Indies.

.

In this regard, Italian Prime Minister Mussolini was very excited. If Japan's five-year tax and customs duties, the Ryukyu Islands, and Kyushu Island are visible benefits that can be obtained immediately, then the Korean Peninsula and the Australian mainland

And the dominance of the West Indian region is a long-term gain. In this way, the Kingdom of Italy will turn several important regions in Asia into overseas colonies.

If there are certain difficulties on the Korean Peninsula and the Australian mainland, after all, they are in the hands of the Chinese Tang Qiuli who beat the shit out of the Japanese. The Japanese are just trying to satisfy their hunger. The Italian army is in direct conflict with the Chinese, and the outcome is still there.

Between the unknown!

The West Indian mainland is in the hands of the British government-in-exile, and the situation is very different. Considering Tang Qiuli's grievances with the British, he will never intervene at that time. Even without the assistance of the Japanese, the Italian army will be able to beat them.

Reservoir dogs took the West Indian continent from the hands of the British. The dying British only needed a push and they would collapse to the ground. It was almost as if they could easily get it!

Although Mussolini was greedy and arrogant, he was also a decent politician. He summoned the Italian party, government and military bosses to carefully analyze a series of conditions proposed by the Japanese, and concluded that it was absolutely feasible, especially in the West Indies.

The appeal to Italians is huge.

After several meetings, the Italians determined the national policy of vigorously assisting Japan. They accepted the Japanese conditions and could provide the Japanese with 1,500 combat aircraft, but the dispatch of an additional 100,000 Italian army troops to Japan had to be postponed.

Let's take a look at the development trend of the war situation in Asia. There is also the intention to sell them at a price. Moreover, Italy only provides combat aircraft, but does not send pilots.

Japan and Italy each got what they needed, so there was no obstacle to signing a series of documents. Koichi Minai was very happy. He himself did not expect that this trip to Italy would go so smoothly. The combat aircraft that the empire urgently needed would be available soon.

To get it.

Of course, there are also unsatisfactory aspects. The Italian Army's increase in troops has been temporarily shelved. There is also the problem of pilots. After many bloody battles with the China Independent Division aviation, the Imperial pilots suffered heavy losses and their reserves were seriously insufficient. One thousand and five thousand

Hundreds of combat aircraft require at least **hundred experienced pilots in addition to the existing local pilots. Just having aircraft without pilots is not enough!

For this reason, Mineguang asked to see Mussolini many times and begged the pot-bellied Italian Prime Minister to package and sell the planes and pilots, but Mussolini simply refused. His reason was that the Kingdom of Italy

The government and the military will never force pilots to do things they don't want to do. This is a manifestation of democracy. Even though I am the prime minister, I must respect their choices.

After running into trouble with Mussolini many times, Mineguang was so anxious that he gathered with his entourage and discussed countermeasures many times, but there was no way. As the first batch of 800 combat aircraft were shipped back to China, regarding the pilots,

It's already imminent.

After hitting a wall with Mussolini, Koichi Mineuchi decided to adopt a roundabout tactic. Through the Japanese Embassy in Italy, he specially hosted a banquet at the most luxurious restaurant in Rome for the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Italian Air Force, General Chiiano, in the name of admiring the Kingdom of Italy.

The power of the Air Force, I sincerely seek advice.
