It was both unexpected and reasonable that Japan had secret alliances with the Holy Roman Empire, Habsburg and the Ottoman Empire. However, the intelligence personnel sent by the Ming Dynasty to the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire were almost in a hurry and failed to grasp the information in time. It was not until two or three months that the situation underwent some substantial changes, and the Ming court was caught off guard for a while.

Originally, the Holy Roman Empire was in danger. In history, the two decisive battles with France and Sweden in 1648 were just desperate and defeated, and they were in a slump. However, with the Japanese as a strong support, the situation is very different, damn! Are the Japanese thinking about the brothers of Germany, the Axis power during World War II? So what about the Ottoman Empire? According to the above inference, it is of course a feud against Tsarist Russia, a later generation! Thinking about this, combining the information collected from Japan is a reasonable assumption. But the key is, how big is Japan's ambition!

At this time, Japan occupied Mexico and Panama. Japanese warships and transport ships could directly enter the Mediterranean. Once the Panama Canal is opened, Japan's large warships on the west coast can reach Europe directly, threatening France, and military aid will be more unobstructed. The Ming Dynasty was too far away from Europe, and the Suez Canal was still missing at this time (the Suez Canal was dug for ten years and was not opened until 1869). The Ming Dynasty ships had to bypass the Cape of Good Hope in Africa to enter the Mediterranean. Compared with later generations, the voyage of the Suez Canal passageway would be almost 10,000 kilometers. From this point of view, Japan had taken advantage of the Americas to Europe.

This made Chongzhen feel a little tricky. Fortunately, he had made some arrangements before, and there was no room for rescue. He just wanted to support Tsarist Russia, which was a bit difficult to turn.

Of course, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in the world. Chongzhen immediately adjusted his strategy, sent envoys to mediate and at the same time began to aid Tsarist Russia, and in the other direction, he increased his aid to France. However, in this way, the war will inevitably escalate. According to this situation, perhaps it may eventually become a world war. In this way, the Ming Dynasty must accelerate the preparations for the war. I just don’t know if Japan, a crazy country, really wants to provoke a world war? Does Japan really want to be the world overlord?

In fact, the Japanese international strategy is not consistent. Speaking of which, Japanese time travelers have both clever and nonsense in their strategy.

In addition to the helicopter that lost a time traveler, Japan also had 152 time travelers. The emperor of Japan was just a sign, and everything was decided by the time travelers. Although Hashimoto was chosen as the leader of the time traveler, Hashimoto could not be a one-man rule. All the time travelers were accustomed to the democracy of later generations. At most, Hashimoto was equivalent to the Democratic Party and the Liberal Democratic Party president of later generations. Everyone could choose him to come to power or rush him to step down. For all major events, time travelers had the right to speak. There were many ideas about Japan's international strategy. At first, these awesome time travelers believed that dominating the world was just a slaughter. Later, they were defeated in Luzon and chose to go east to North America, and their enthusiasm for dominating the world also declined.

At this time, someone proposed the g2 strategy. The so-called g2 means that Japan and the Ming Empire jointly govern the world. This was proposed by later Americans, saying that the United States and China jointly govern the world.

The people who proposed the g2 strategy were very evident. Their statement was that you see, the Ming Empire was not just a matter of you. If you can't win the Ming Empire, it would be better to adopt the g2 strategy. Especially after the Ming Empire defeated the Qing army many times, this faction's proposition was supported by some centrists. The benefits of the g2 strategy were obvious. Japan was less than 20 million people at this time. Even if 80% of the Japanese immigrated to North America, a mere 10 million people could not digest such a large land. Even if Japan's population in later generations was scattered on the North American continent, it would be vast and sparsely populated on the North American continent. What's more, North American resources were already rich enough, and with Japan's local and vast Pacific islands, it would be meaningless to expand. In comparison, the Ming Empire actually had more than 200 million people at this time, and in tens of thousands of people.

During the sequel, the GDP of the Ming Empire was at least 50% of the world's GDP. The Chongzhen Dynasty once suffered a sharp decline in the economy due to the use of troops from Liaodong and the civil strife of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. However, the economically developed Jiangnan was not greatly affected. After Chongzhen crossed the south, the economy of the Ming Empire exploded again, and with the advancement of industrialization, the potential of the Ming Empire must not be underestimated. The Ming Empire was at least significantly ahead of Japan in education, and at the same time it was far superior to Japan in terms of the number of technicians and the level of technicians. In short, the Ming Empire had a very deep accumulation and the potential contained in industry should not be underestimated. In addition, it seems that at least three time travelers dominate, and the overall strength of the Ming Empire is difficult to surpass in a short period of time. Its huge population base, good foundation, huge economic output, and the development of military and civilian technologies over the years will probably take a considerable period of time to catch up.

Since the strength of the Ming Empire is there, Japan's best strategy is the 2g strategy. After Japan entered North America, it spanned the United States and Asia, and in time, it could influence Europe and then control Europe. Even if the Ming Empire controls most of Asia, Africa and Oceania, until China and Japan jointly manage the world, this is completely acceptable. Instead of building a great enemy like the Ming Empire, it is better to take a step back and broaden the sky and use the g2 strategy to achieve a win-win situation. This is a blessing for Japan.

However, the g2 strategy was attacked by militarists and was attacked as an appeasement strategy.

Speaking of which, the 152 people who traveled through time were almost all right-wing members of Japan in the 21st century. Because of the Diaoyu Islands dispute, they became pawns of the Japanese right-wing. Unexpectedly, they encountered a miraculous time-travel incident before they arrived at the Diaoyu Islands! But after traveling through time, everyone became politicians overnight. Since they became politicians, their butts determine their heads, they naturally had to consider higher-level political issues. Soon these people had different political views and naturally had various differences in international strategies.

Think about it, before crossing the Diaoyu Islands, Japan's right wing created various names, but it is still subject to China. It is also because Japan's territory is too small, it's not too small, and it's still in the earthquake zone. This makes people feel sad - why is our territory so small! It's still so bad! Why is it so big and so good!

For example, the land of the United States is enviable. It is truly a vast land and has a transcendent strategic position. Therefore, the Japanese in later generations dreamed that it would be great if they could occupy the land of the United States! Moreover, the humiliation brought to Japan by the United States in history made every Japanese unable to forget it. In 1853, under the guns of the United States, Japan was shamelessly forced to open its doors. The Americans threw an atomic bomb in World War II. The US military occupied Japan and castrated Japanese military politics. For the Japanese right wing, it was undoubtedly

A great shame. For these 152 time travelers, this time travel in 1644 undoubtedly gave these people the opportunity to kill the United States in the cradle. Therefore, even in the far-distance Pacific Ocean, the time travelers occupied Taiwan and Luzon failed, especially after the emperor of the Ming Empire changed his status as a time traveler, it became more difficult to expand in Asia, so he immediately unified his thoughts and turned to North America. Think about it, it was so exciting to fight for a Diaoyu Island in the future, and the current land of North America is basically still a borderless place. If you don’t occupy it at this moment, then you will not take it!

Those who advocate the g2 strategy think that occupying North America is already very satisfying. In addition to the United States in later generations, Canada is also good. As long as you occupy these two places, are you worried that the territory is not large enough? Maybe you have to encourage Chinese to immigrate like Canada and Australia in later generations to solve the problem of large and sparse population! Japan occupied North America, and the original Japanese mainland did not give up, and then concentrate on construction, focus on development, benefit the people at home, and jointly manage the world with the Ming Empire internationally. Looking forward to such a bright future, what else is there to be dissatisfied!

However, the militarists led by Hashimoto were not satisfied. The world said that Japan was responsible for his own faults, but Hashimoto refused to reflect on Japan's faults, but was full of hatred for the United States, Russia, and China. Therefore, Hashimoto's faction has always adhered to the J1 strategy, that is, Japan's strategy of dominating the world. Hashimoto's faction's plan is to accumulate strength until it defeated the Ming Empire, flattened Europe and the United States, and dominate the world.

Given that Hashimoto's opposition to the g2 strategy was rampant, and the g2 faction was also opposed to the j1 strategy, the centrists stood up and developed a g2-j1 strategy that was mixed with. This g2-j1 strategy is to refer to the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union until the dismemberment of the Soviet Union. It took decades to accumulate strength while launching a Cold War with the Ming Empire until the time was ripe. Through peaceful means, it is not ruled out that the use of force will be used to defeat the Ming Empire in one fell swoop.

As soon as this compromise plan was released, the g2 faction and the j1 faction felt it was acceptable after some discussion, so the g2-j1 strategy was decided. Under this strategic guidance, Japan and the Ming Empire reached an agreement, such as Japan's advance eastward to North America, and Japan did not compete with the Ming Empire for the Kamchatka Peninsula. Both sides lived in peace and did not invade each other, and at the same time promised not to infringe on other sovereign states.

But then the situation changed.

Japan's eastward entry into North America was carried out as scheduled, but what was disappointing was that whether it was Los Angeles or San Francisco, the west coast of North America was still a barren land, and the Japanese who arrived first had to dance with wolves. Time travelers obviously underestimated the difficulty of pioneering. North America did not have two or three years of hard work, but it was probably not necessarily better, let alone launching industrial projects! So, some Japanese time travelers focused on Mexico, which had been developed, and Panama's strategic position was too important to let some Japanese time travelers let go. Then, Japan started a war against the Spaniards in Mexico and defeated the Spaniards in succession.

However, the Ming Empire was very troubled and sent an envoy to make Japan truce. Hashimoto used the excuse that Mexico did not belong to Spain, ignored the Ming Empire's intervention, and continued to start the war, and fought to the northern part of Colombia in one breath.

Faced with the accusation of the envoys of the Ming Empire for invading other countries and breaching contracts, the Japanese chose to cheat, which made Zuo Maodi and Ruan Dacheng return in vain. After the Japanese easily dealt with the Spaniards, and they did not like the Ming Empire meddling in other people's business, there were more arrogant people among the people, so the j1 strategy was re-reported.

When Li Zicheng's Dashun troops entered Canada east, although Japan did not go north to intercept them immediately, more and more people from Japan were changing their tendencies, and the j1 strategy was once again put on the agenda. Then, a series of measures were taken to immediately dig the Panama Canal and secretly form a secret alliance with the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
