Iron Germany

The capital of the island nation, Tokyo, is the prime minister's office.

Although there is an emperor in the island country, the actual power of the emperor is not much, and he is only the symbolic head of state. The real power is still in the hands of the cabinet. Especially after the death of Emperor Meiji, the successor Emperor Taisho was an emperor with a somewhat abnormal head, which further compressed the emperor's power.

In the meeting room of the Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma, Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato, Ichinosuke Rikusouka, Minister of the Sea Yatsushiro Rokuro, Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki, and other cabinet ministers all gathered here. There is only one topic for this cabinet meeting, and that is how to deal with the difficult situation at hand. Although, the Germans are still fighting in Europe and have not sent a warship or a single soldier to Asia. But when Germany is about to win the war, it still scares the important ministers of these island countries enough.

"Everyone, France and Italy have successively signed peace treaties with Germany. It can be said that the war on the European continent is over. Now only the United Kingdom is still struggling. However, the narrow strait is obviously impossible to resist Can withstand the attack of the Germans. The powerful German navy will escort their equally powerful army to land on the British mainland. There is almost no suspense whether the British can withstand the attack of the world's number one German army. So , the problem is before us. The Reich and Germany are at war, and we have occupied the German colonies in the Pacific Ocean. If we don't want to change this situation, wait until the Germans defeat the British, then the next The target to be attacked is probably us!" Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma looked worried.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to worry. The empire is too far away from Germany. If the Germans dare to attack the empire, the war ten years ago will be a lesson for them!" Lu Xiangoka Shizhisuke looked confident.

The military of the island nation undoubtedly does not want to hand over the colonies it has already occupied. As soldiers, their duty is to expand the territory of the country. It took so much effort to gain so much territory, how could it be returned for nothing like this? Although, when they captured these territories, they did not spend much effort. However, these islanders still will not lose these colonies for no reason.

"The strength of Germany is much stronger than that of Russia back then. Although Russia was strong back then, it was not a world hegemony. Compared with Germany now, it is simply not in the same breath." Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato said.

"Your Excellency, the Germans are very powerful, but they also need to use their troops in many places. Especially the colonies they received from the French and Italians also need to send a large number of troops. If the Germans defeat the British , Then, the British colonies must also belong to them. I am afraid that the entire German army will be drawn in. Under such circumstances, the safety of the empire is guaranteed!" Oka Ichinosuke retorted.

"If the Germans send their navy to attack the empire, will the imperial navy be able to resist it?" Kato Takaaki looked at Haishang Yashiro Rokuro.

Hearing this question, Yatsushiro Rokuro couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. Although, in recent years, the navy of the island country has also made great progress. However, compared with the world's number one German navy, the gap in strength is undoubtedly quite wide.

"Your Excellency, the German Navy is the world's number one. How could the Imperial Navy be arrogant about this? Among the many capital ships of the Imperial Navy, except for the four 'King Kong-class' battlecruisers, the rest of the warships cannot compete with Germany. The powerful battleships of the navy. The "Fuso-class" battleship of the Imperial Navy is under construction. The first ship "Fuso" is expected to be commissioned by the end of this year, and the second ship "Yamashiro" is estimated to wait until next year or even the year after. As for the previous "Kawachi-class" battleships, they can only be regarded as quasi-dreadnoughts, and the "Satsuma-class" battleships and "Katori-class" battleships can only be regarded as pre-dreadnoughts. The other "Iwami" and "Hitzen" No., 'Sagami', 'Zhoufang', 'Tango', 'Shikishima', 'Asahi', 'Mikasa' and 'Fuji' are also former dreadnoughts. And in Europe In the decisive battle at sea, the former dreadnoughts were not eligible to go to the battlefield. The Germans sank 21 former dreadnoughts of the British Navy in the sea off Le Havre some time ago. Every former dreadnought of the British Navy that was sunk Ships are no worse than our former dreadnoughts! In addition, the Germans have as many as 24 such pre-dreadnoughts." Yashiro Rokuro said.

Immediately, the faces of all the cabinet ministers were not very good-looking. Although they know that Germany is very powerful, the German army is number one in the world, and the German navy defeated the British navy, which is also number one in the world. However, there is no intuitive feeling. But now, the German Navy actually has so many warships, which immediately gave them an intuitive feeling. With the strength of the German navy, it is obvious that it can wipe out the navy of the island country in a backhand!

"In addition to as many as 24 former dreadnoughts, the German Navy has 34 powerful battleships that are not inferior to our 'King Kong-class' battlecruisers. There are even many, which are more powerful than the 'King Kong-class' battlecruisers .So, even if the German navy doesn't try its best to attack us, they only need to send a small fleet to attack, and the imperial navy can't resist it." Yashiro Rokuro said.

"Hachi! Yatsushiro-kun, have you been frightened by the Germans? What about your samurai bravery?" Oka Ichinosuke cursed.

"It's not fear, but a statement of the facts. If you know that the enemy is much stronger than you, but you still want to provoke him, you are looking for death! Such a person is simply an idiot! There will be no such person in the Navy, Or only the army has such people." Yashiro Rokuro countered mercilessly.

Between the navy and the army of the island country, there is almost a conflict of water and fire. Although there are many contradictions between the army and navy of other countries. However, it will not be as big as the army and navy of the island country.

"Asshole! Does the navy want to give up the territories we have worked so hard to get? Our army will never give up!" Okashinosuke insisted.

"Okay, stop arguing. The German navy is so powerful, isn't it a little unwise for us to provoke them!" Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma said. Obviously, after learning that Germany's military strength is so strong, Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma was a little frightened.
