Chapter 2477 How to End the War 2
"You have not yet found a way to stop this war and allow the empire to preserve its interests to the greatest extent. Well, given the current situation, I can make it clear to you in this meeting. After that, I think you will understand This is the reason for all the decisions made by the empire before. What you need to do is to understand this spirit and then do what I say!" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said seriously.
"This war involves a total of 5 powerful countries, namely Japan, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and Russia. Among them, we and the United Kingdom have a relationship of mutual use. When we both think that they are valuable, our relationship with the United Kingdom It is stable. Russia is our enemy, and the United States and Germany are also our enemies. But the enemies are different, because from the current point of view, before Germany and Russia signed a peace treaty, Germany and Russia were also enemies! And the United States They are Russia's allies in the future!" Saionji first briefly talked about the current chess players in the Western Pacific region.
"We are not worried about Russia, because Russia is too weak now, and their core area is very far away from us. Even if the final winner can fight to the Far East, I think the army is confident enough to stop the opponent and keep our The fruit of victory, is that it?" Xiyuanji said to Masaki Terauchi.
"Your Excellency, as long as we can maintain the previous military expenditure and troop deployment, we can definitely achieve a better record than the Russo-Japanese War. It is impossible for the Russians to penetrate the Chita defense line." Masaki Terauchi laid down the defense without hesitation. Guaranteed, this is not for performance, but the Japanese Army is really confident in this!
"Very good then. The only thing that makes the empire restless now is the direction of the Pacific. The US and US fleets are waiting for the moment the war breaks out. But militarily, we have no chance of winning. So we must change our perspective and politically Think about how to solve this problem.”
"Many people think that Germany does not want to see us completely destroyed. This is right, and it is indeed something we can take advantage of. However, don't forget that we are a member of the Allied Powers after all. And Germany has full reasons to retaliate against us. Therefore, what I said before has a premise, that is, only when the actions of the Japanese Empire satisfy the Germans’ assumptions and requirements, they will let us go. Everything you do has a price , it is impossible to gain the forgiveness of an enemy without giving anything, I think you all understand, right?" Xiionji said.
"But now Germany even refuses to have peace talks with us. Even if Germany is willing to have peace talks with us, we can open some ports and even grant certain preferential trade conditions." Yamamoto Gonbei said. If possible, Yamamoto Gonbei would naturally be unwilling to take action against the Germans. After all, even the Royal Navy could be beaten to pieces, so dealing with Japan would be a piece of cake.
"The benefits that the Americans gave to Germany were also an important reason for Germany's participation in the war. The Americans even paid more than 2 billion US dollars in loans and investments for this. These payments were enough for the Germans to take action against us. If someone gave the empire such a big If there are benefits, we will not hesitate to participate in the war." Shimamura Hayao said.
"It seems that you all know these things. Well, from our previous game with the Americans on the German issue, can we see a problem, that is, the benefits that the empire is willing to give to Germany are far less than What’s the American consideration?” Saionji asked.
"Is such that.
According to the German newspapers, they also want the empire to pay high war reparations, at least 800 million pounds. Damn it, this is unacceptable to the empire. "Terauchi Masaki said.
"So we refused, and then the Germans decided to help the Americans deal with us. How logical this was." Saionji nodded. "However, Mr. Saionji, at this time, you can still pay attention to the major domestic media of the Germans. This is a very good habit. I hope you stick to it." What Saionji said next made several military leaders present feel confused. Come to your mind, what does this mean? Encourage everyone to read German newspapers?
"Your Excellency Saionji, you don't think that the final compromise between us and the Germans is to pay compensation, right?" Yamamoto Gonbei suddenly said. "Your Excellency Saionji, that's several billion yen. How much did we earn in total from this war? You should know very well how much the empire's fiscal revenue is in a year, right? This kind of condition cannot be agreed to under any circumstances. of."
"However, not agreeing is the destruction of the country. If the Germans think they can't get any benefits from us, then do you think the Germans will be merciful? Why should they be merciful? Don't talk about the distant future conflict between virtue and virtue. I believe that Britain People must have mentioned this issue before when they tried to get help from the Americans, but there is no doubt that the Americans did not buy it because it was too far away and too scary for most citizens. The so-called future Some possibilities are far less important than real money and silver now. Do you understand what I am saying?" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.
The words are very cruel, but they are also very true, completely dispelling the idea of some guys wanting to "empty nothing"! This is true. The Americans will not choose to help the British because they will have a conflict with Germany in the future and need the help of the British. Instead, they will not hesitate to add another blow to the body of the British Empire that is already about to collapse. , let the British crawl on the ground forever! Because we are enemies, because the United States also needs interests, because the relationship between Germany and Germany still needs to be maintained, and actual interests are always the highest!
By the same token, the Germans will not choose to show mercy just because they need Japan to contain the United States in the future! At least until Japan meets Germany's demands, the Germans will seriously teach Japan a lesson together with the Americans! Let Japan know what it means: Anyone who offends our Germany will be punished no matter how far away!
Saionji Konobo clearly told everyone present that Germany may let go of some issues, but only after they have eaten enough and Japan has done something in accordance with Germany's requirements. There is no way for Japan to get through this disaster without bleeding! The British are an example!
"The price is really high." Yamamoto Gonbei felt very painful.
"Okay, now the question is, if we don't compromise, can we defeat the German-German coalition? Secondly, if the Germans choose neutrality, can we defeat the Americans? If the Germans and British are willing to mediate, can we defeat the Americans?" End the war?" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said very simply.
