The Rise of the Empire

"Japan? Those bantam monkeys dared to attack the empire's merchant ships! These bastards! Tirpitz should kill them all!" Looking at the documents Frederick III handed over, Prince William said with a livid face.

"Hehe, Ruprecht is really good. It seems that it is more appropriate for him to go to the navy!" After seeing the battle report later, His Royal Highness the crown prince's face turned cloudy from rainy to cloudy. In his opinion, the clown who dared to offend the dignity of the empire was punished, which gave him a slight sigh of relief, but he thought it was not enough!

"The imperial fleet should attack Japan! The Japanese must pay for their reckless actions!" the crown prince closed the document and said to Frederick III.

"Bismarck, what do you think? According to the battle report, the Japanese fired first to attack our warship. I am a little hard to understand." Frederick III ignored his son and asked the prime minister next to him. In his opinion, it is one thing to attack a merchant ship, but another to take the initiative to attack a warship. The former can just pay and apologize, but the latter is equivalent to declaring war! This face was slapped!

"There should be no concealment in this document." Bismarck thought for a while and said: "First of all, in the battle report, the high-level officers in Mainz were caught off guard at the beginning of the war and suffered heavy casualties. This has been confirmed in many ways. If it were not for the sneak attack Otherwise, it is impossible for the Japanese to achieve such results.”

"Secondly, the Japanese will also choose to strike first when they are under great pressure, or they are a nation that is superstitious about sneak attacks! Since they can sneak attack the Qing Dynasty, it is entirely possible to take this approach when facing German warships that may fight at any time. strategy, it’s just that they misread the situation.”

"Now, what's the situation in the Far East? What are Tirpitz and the Prince of Bavaria doing?" Frederick III still did not express any opinion. Instead, keep asking questions.

"His Royal Highness and the Mainz have joined Major General Tirpitz. They are now intercepting Japanese ships in the waters around Shanghai and have seized more than a dozen merchant ships of various types. They are waiting for domestic orders!" Bismarck replied road.

"Well, it's not bad. I know how to advance and retreat." Frederick III nodded. "Is there any reaction from the Japanese?"

"They claimed that this was just an accident. They didn't know that the Huasheng was a German ship, and that the Mainz fired first to cause the conflict. At least the Mainz was the first to fire at the Japanese fleet to demonstrate!" Bismarck replied.

"This group of shameless guys, if it weren't for their sneak attack, how could the commander on the Mainz have suffered heavy losses! The Japanese should all go to hell!" William II said angrily!

"The responsibility for this incident is entirely on the Japanese side! They fired first when they knew the identity of the merchant ship, and then tried to attack the Mainz after the incident was revealed! This is our attitude! Nothing else is important!" Philip There was a hint of anger in Trey III's low tone! In his heart, this could rise to a challenge to the dignity of the empire! A guy in the Far East who didn't know that corner of the corner dared to attack the empire. If this matter was not dealt with seriously, then the Germans would really have no face to call themselves great powers!

The Kaiser did not intend to go to war, but the premise is that the Japanese must admit their cowardice, resist all the scapegoats that should be borne and should not be borne, and then give Germany a fairly satisfactory compensation, so that it can be considered over! Want to get away with it? Are you dreaming? But at this time, there are indeed a group of people in the Japanese government who plan to get in like this! At this time, Japan was not yet a great power, and it was difficult for them to understand what a great power was!

"This is a conspiracy! The Germans and the Qing people set up this whole set together, causing us heavy losses! We must fight back!" In the temporary Japanese base camp in Hiroshima, Kawayama Suiki's roar resounded throughout the room!

"But the current navy is simply not capable of resisting the attacks of the Qing and German navies.

Even the German cruiser unit alone is not something we can deal with! A battleship easily wiped out one of our units, it's terrifying to think about it! We overestimate the British ship! "Xixiang Congdao said sadly.

"I have instructed Shuzang Aoki to lobby the British government immediately, hoping that they will come out to uphold justice. Under such circumstances, I think it is very important to accept the British suggestion and temporarily break away from the hostile relationship with the Qing Dynasty and Germany. We cannot and The two countries are at war at the same time." Xiyuansi Gongwang is much more sober than Huashan senior, and the most important thing now is to avoid further expansion of the situation!

"We must put the responsibility on the Germans, and we must tell the world that the Germans are shameless! They sank our two warships, and it is impossible for us to open fire first under the circumstances of the disparity in strength. That's it!" Shan Ziji emphasized.

"Did you tell Aoki-kun like this in the telegram? Why didn't I know about this?" Ito Hirobumi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his voice!

"This was passed on through the navy's own channels. I think Mr. Aoki needs to know the truth!" Huashan Suikiki's sudden reaction to the prime minister was a bit inexplicable. After dealing with the Qing people so many times, he didn't say anything at the beginning to shirk responsibility. That is the only way of Japanese diplomacy! Can't this time? If not, is the Japanese government really going to lose money?

"That's Germany! A group of pig teammates!" Ito Hirobumi felt his heart was broken! Can Germany be the same as the coffee table of the Qing government? They are called Great Powers! Let's not say that Japan started the battle first, even if the Germans did it first, the responsibility should be blurred when Japan suffers a big loss!

The status of Germany and Japan is not equal at all. From ancient times to the present, which weak country have you seen can take advantage of pouring sewage on the big powers? International public opinion is of no use to a powerful country! What's more, the Russians and Austria-Hungary must stand on the side of Germany, and France may be neutral. Why should the British shield Japan from the wind and rain? Even if you help, there must be a limit!

"This will anger Germany!" Ito Hirobumi's voice revealed a lot of ice balls!

"And it is impossible for the British to fight against Germany for Japan!" The Prime Minister's second sentence made the whole room feel like falling into an ice cave.

"You are really not afraid of big things!" Ito Hirobumi said sadly: "From now on, everyone is not allowed to interfere in this matter! The navy will return to the mainland immediately! I will take responsibility personally! If anyone makes a claim without authorization! Then he is Sinner!" Ito Hirobumi said every word!

In Japan as a whole, Hirobumi Ito has a correct idea of ​​how to deal with this matter, that is, to settle the matter quickly, and as long as the other party's demands are not high, they will immediately admit to apologizing and pay compensation! Then the United Kingdom said something, Germany, which has face and integrity, will naturally not cling to it, but a group of pig teammates are still stuck in this matter!
