Chapter 1279 The Japanese’s little calculation 3

"So?" Xiyuanji Gongwang was a little confused today. Why did the navy become an expert on the army today, and the army became an expert on the navy... Well, I guess both the navy and the army are willing to let the other side pay some blood.

"It is said that the Army has now formed a tank unit based on the standards of the French armored force. If the name is not mistaken, it should be called the Fukuoka Regiment. A tank unit actually costs a whole The military expenditure for five infantry regiments, wow, it’s really amazing.” Yamamoto Gonbei said.

"This time, if a war breaks out in the Balkans, our enemy is not the powerful German Army, nor even the Austrians. What we face is just the Turks. In this case, I want the Fukuoka Tank Regiment to be put into the battlefield It should be a very good decision. By the way, we can take a look at the Army's achievements in the past year on the battlefield. Otherwise, when setting the budget next year, some people will not mention the achievements but the losses." After finishing speaking, Yamamoto Gonbei looked at Yamagata Aritomo opposite with a hint of provocation.

"This old fox!" Shanxian Youpeng was very angry! However, it was of no use. After all, in last year's battle, the navy's performance was indeed better than that of the army. Except for the first few warships sunk by Su Xiong's fleet, whether it was the navy's seizure of the German Pacific Islands or the subsequent conflict with the US fleet, it was also Or the battles of the Fuso-class battleships in the Mediterranean, there are remarkable things, but the situation of the army is lackluster. Apart from following the navy and taking away some Dutch colonies, there were no other commendable achievements, and the expeditionary force in Africa suffered heavy losses. It is said to have suffered the largest loss since the establishment of the Japanese Army...

"What's wrong? Don't you dare? Equipped with MK1 tanks ordered from the UK, French Renaults and various artillery pieces, the Fukuoka tank unit, which claims that one regiment can defeat an infantry division, actually doesn't even dare to touch the Turks . Even if the five wings are placed on the Western Front, it will be enough to fight for a period of time. What's more, this time they face the sick man of West Asia, Turkey! If the Fukuoka Wing can go, I'm afraid they can succeed immediately, right? This is enough to calm the British. Angry." Yamamoto Gonbei struck again!

"It is very irresponsible for the Fukuoka United to go to the battlefield less than half a year after its establishment. Our equipment is only about half full. How to fight?" Yamagata Aritomo said. If other troops were sent there, even an additional division would not make Shanxian Youpeng so uncomfortable. These people who entered the Fukuoka army are all elites and seeds. How can they be wasted like this? Do you Navy guys know how hard it is to find someone in Japan who has driven a tractor or driven a car?

"Actually, from my original intention, I do not want Britain and France to open the Dardanelles Strait. If weapons and supplies from Britain and France can be transported through the Black Sea, then Russia may not collapse, and once it is over, regardless of whether Russia Win or lose, they will focus their energy back on the Far East. By then, even if the Allies lose, we may still face the pressure of the United States on the sea and the pressure of Russia on land at the same time. Under the attack from the north and the south, the empire's It's going to be absolutely terrible.

"Katsura Taro, who had been silent for a long time, said.

"Hold the grass! This angle is tricky~~~! Why didn't I think of it? This reason is too powerful to be refuted!" Aritomo Yamagata gave Katsura Taro 32 likes in his heart!

"Since we have an indifferent attitude, it would be better to let this force try the water. If we don't know how to fight, we have to think about how to save our lives. For the sake of the empire's first armored force arriving on the European front, maybe the British We and the French will also replenish the remaining equipment for us." Yamamoto Gonbei said without changing his expression.

"Damn it, how can people be so shameless? No matter what you say, it makes sense!" Yamagata Aritomo and Katsura Taro were shocked at the same time. They really didn't expect Yamamoto Gonbei to have such rhetoric... .

"This is a good method. We always control the situation in our own hands! In addition to victory or defeat, the outcome of the war may also be a draw. In other words, Britain and France defeated Germany on the Western Front, and Germany won on the Eastern Front. Russia. I think the last result is the best for the empire. The Russian Normanov dynasty is overthrown, and then we can attack Russia. As long as Britain and France do not lose the war, Germany will not dare to fight with us. Taking action, a British and French victory on the Western Front or a ceasefire agreement with Germany would be good results for the empire."

"The political help the British can provide us is gone, isn't it? When we occupied parts of the Dutch East Indies, our expansion touched the British bottom line. Now all the British can give us is money. Well, we are actually doing business, aren't we?" However, what Yamagata Aritomo and Katsura Taro didn't expect was that Saionji Konobo actually supported Yamamoto Gonbei's so-called "idea of ​​controlling the situation in Japan's hands." This is simply too idle.

"Everyone, do you know what I was thinking just now?" Looking at the three big guys with stunned expressions (yes, Yamamoto Gonbei was also dumbfounded, what he just said was obviously his own nonsense, he was originally making trouble, and he was basically I didn’t intend to win other people’s approval!), Xiyuanji Gongwang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"I have been thinking, what will be the outcome of this war?" Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple smiled slightly after finishing speaking. "My point of view is this. If you don't agree, we can discuss it. If the Dardanelles Strait cannot be opened this time, then I feel that Russia may not be able to sustain it for 2 years! And if the Bavarian Army comes from the Eastern Front As for the Western Front, I think Germany will at least not lose."

"First of all, from a material perspective, although Germany is a continental country, the British navy is no longer capable of completely blockading Germany. Although the United States expresses its neutrality, it continues to provide materials and funds to Germany. Germany is the largest The shortcomings have been largely compensated.”

"What about the United Kingdom? Although they have colonies all over the world, their maritime transportation has been severely damaged by German submarines. They have lost up to 800,000 tons of transport ship tonnage in a month. This is simply unimaginable to us. And the British still have It is supporting. But what is certain is that even with the financial resources of the British Empire, such consumption is definitely not sustainable. In terms of war potential, Britain and France actually have no advantage. Is that so, Your Excellency Yamamoto Gonbei?" Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple said.
