Red Alert 1895

After the naval battle between Taiwan and Japan, the results of the battle were quickly conveyed to all parties around the world. However, there are not many surprises for the outcome of this battle. Because no matter who wins or loses this battle, it is expected. Because their Taiwan Navy has more than a dozen battleships, even though their sailors are of poor quality, there are still more than a dozen battleships. And the battleships of the Japanese and the Americans are only seven battleships. Even though their sailors are of better quality, they are at an absolute disadvantage in number. So whoever wins on both sides is actually prepared in everyone's heart. Therefore, all countries are prepared for this naval battle, no matter who wins or loses, and there will not be too many surprises for Western countries.

But for Japan, it was extremely shocking. After the navy is wiped out, what kind of results they will face, this can be imagined.

"What's going on? Didn't General Ito Yuheng pat his chest and promise that he will definitely win?" Emperor Meiji said angrily.

Emperor Meiji was really angry. No one understood what this failure meant better than him, the emperor of the island country. In this failure, all Japanese battleships were sunk, and even the officers and soldiers on their naval battleships】⊙】⊙】⊙】⊙, none of the m.●▼om were alive, so that Their loss was very heavy. Japan is an island country. Once they lose their navy, what will happen to them? This is simply a no-brainer. Once the island country has no navy, it will be easily attacked by the enemy, and they can blockade their country at any time.

Back then they sent almost all of the country's troops to fight Taiwan, but they suffered a disastrous defeat. And the reason why Japan was able to hit the Japanese mainland instead of being taken advantage of by Taiwan was because they had a relatively stronger navy. If Japan did not have a relatively strong navy a few years ago, Japan would have been very worrying a few years ago. I am afraid that after Taiwan drove away the Japanese army a few years ago, it would also take the opportunity to attack Japan in turn, and the consequences would be disastrous.

When Japan finished the Sino-Japanese War, it was a period of military strategic mobilization. At that time, after the Sino-Japanese War, the vast majority of soldiers were war-weary. And almost all the troops of the Japanese army are trapped by the Taiwan army. At that time, if some people were transferred from Taiwan, even if there were only 5,000 people, it would be enough to turn upside down in Japan. What made Japan fortunate back then was that Japan still had a relatively powerful navy, because with the navy at that time, Japan not only avoided a catastrophe of destruction, but was able to gain bargaining chips when negotiating with Taiwan. If there was no navy back then, Taiwan could even blackmail Japan for an indemnity, instead of the result of mutual non-indemnity. If Taiwan had a strong navy back then, not only would it be able to attack Japan, but it would also be able to blackmail Japan for compensation.

After that, Emperor Meiji made a decision. It is necessary to form a navy again even if you sell everything you want. So Japan worked desperately to form a navy, and finally formed a "powerful" navy with five Xiangshan-class battleships equivalent to the monarchy class. However, what made Japan vomit blood was Taiwan's battleships, which appeared in piles like dumplings. Not only were there more than a dozen Sovereign-class battleships at once, but the Japanese navy didn't even dare to fart a single one. Even if the quality of Taiwan's sailors is relatively low, they dare not offend easily.

This time, it was hard to get the Americans, so that they could all think that they could win the gamble, but in the end they lost in a mess.

"What the **** is going on, Yuto Ito. Don't you advisers have a 70% chance of winning?" Emperor Meiji said angrily.

Those naval staff officers in Japan dare not fart. Because the plan they deduced at that time measured Taiwan according to the lowest combat power, and measured themselves according to the highest combat power. The Japanese staff officers are different from the Taiwanese staff officers. The Japanese staff officers have always calculated their own combat effectiveness as the highest, and then calculated the enemy's combat effectiveness as the lowest. The result of doing so is actually very easy to come up with a result that looks very good. According to the calculation results of the Japanese, one of their battleships can beat five or six battleships in Taiwan. so. According to such a deduction method, the Japanese staff obtained a result that their probability of winning was more than 70%.

Of course, this is actually just a game on paper. If it is really calculated according to this method, even Japan can win against any country, and it can completely beat the British Empire into a grandson. This is just a game on paper. In fact, the enemy in war battles will not really perform according to the lowest combat effectiveness, but neither will the own side perform according to the highest combat effectiveness. So in fact, the results of Japan's deduction are completely problematic. With such a deduction result, no country will be Japan's opponent, and Japan seems to be the most powerful country in the world.

Of course, this kind of game on paper was actually sent to the Emperor, which made Emperor Meiji make a wrong judgment. This is the most deceitful thing. It's all right now, so everyone feels that the sky is falling, and if it happens next, there may be accidents.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, if these Chinese people send their navy to cover our army landing in Japan, then Japan will be in trouble! Please His Majesty the Emperor order the mobilization of the whole country, and then expand the army, and double the army of our Great Japanese Empire. From twelve The divisions were formed into thirty-six divisions." Immediately, an army officer said.

"Crazy!" everyone thought.

Everyone present also knew that at this time, the army wanted to take the opportunity to increase its power and expand its influence. They actually want to expand their army, from twelve divisions to thirty-six divisions. As for the excuse, Taiwan can send troops at any time and then come to Japan to attack, so they need to expand the army for defense. And once the whole country is mobilized, the final result must be that the strength of the army will increase greatly, because the local defense must be dominated by the army, so the navy will naturally not have much say.

"Is there a Prime Minister in Yamagata? Will we be attacked by Taiwan?" Emperor Meiji asked.

Shanxian Youpeng didn't even think about it: "Your Majesty, we must expand the army, especially the army, otherwise we will definitely face the result of being attacked by the Chinese. So we must expand the army, so we will inevitably Facing the result of national subjugation and extinction."

But those naval officers didn't dare to do anything, because their main naval force had been wiped out this time, so they naturally didn't dare to do anything. However, Emperor Meiji began to think about what would happen if the army was expanded? This time, it is necessary to mobilize the whole country, but it is necessary to prepare the whole country for war. If the whole country is mobilized and the army is expanded, the series of consequences will be very fatal.

However, at this time, a person walked in.

"Your Majesty, the so-called military expansion and national mobilization are unnecessary. The Chinese will not attack our homeland. I can guarantee this with my head!"

"Ito? It's you..." Emperor Meiji asked.

"Yes, such a big thing happened, how could I not come?" Itou Hirobumi said.

"Ito, this time Prime Minister Aritomo Yamagata proposed to expand the army in an all-round way and mobilize the whole country. What do you think?" Emperor Meiji asked.

And Yamagata Youpeng immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think the Chinese people will definitely take the opportunity to invade Japan on a large scale, so there is nothing wrong with nationwide mobilization and military expansion."

"Your friends in Shanxian County, are you talking too much? Can't you see that it is impossible for the Chinese to attack our homeland. But for the power of the army, you don't hesitate to drag our big Japan into a place of eternal doom, you Isn't this selfishness too big? With your ability, can't you analyze the next battle situation?"

"The so-called Chinese invasion~www.readwn.com~ is just a false proposition. Although the Chinese defeated us in naval battles, they only controlled the command of the sea. They will continue to fight the Russians on land In a major war, the Russians dispatched no less than 500,000 people to invade this time. They are sure that the first target is the Russians. Can they deploy the army at this time to attack our big Japan? Even with a small navy , but their naval warships can’t go to land, so as long as we evacuate the people from the coast, the problem will not be too big. Therefore, they will not attack us Japan until they defeat the Russians.”

However, Youpeng from Shan County asked: "If the Chinese defeated the Russians, wouldn't they send a large army to attack us? At that time, wouldn't we need to mobilize the whole country? Therefore, to mobilize and expand the army nationwide, That is imperative."

Shanxian Youpeng is the leader of the army and the highest spokesperson of the army, so he naturally wants to consider the interests of the army. Now he also hopes to expand the army, and then expand the number and influence of the army, and master more resources. Only by entering a state of national mobilization can they grasp more resources to control the country. So Youpeng in Shan County will not miss this opportunity, this is a very huge and good opportunity! The navy has been crippled by Taiwan, the main fleet has been wiped out, and it no longer has any influence on the overall situation of the country. So they will naturally not miss this opportunity to beat the dog in the water, take the opportunity to weaken the navy and increase the army's power in this country. (To be continued.)
