The emperor was furious, and the cabinet officials suddenly became nervous. Although the emperor actually had no substantial power. Even if there were members of the royal family joining the army, it was just a symbolic meaning. The actual power of Japanese politics was still firmly controlled by the vassal clan groups. However, the emperor was a spiritual symbol of Japan after all. Since Meiji, the Japanese government has deliberately promoted the emperor to unite the hearts of the people of Japan to gather the hearts of the people of Japan. Therefore, the emperor has a very high prestige among the people of Japan and Gansu and has a great influence on the Japanese government. Moreover, the situation is now at this point, the Japanese government and the military have an unshirkable responsibility. It is legitimate to be angry. If several ministers are removed from their posts, it is completely possible.

So several big men in Japanese politics finally gave up the conflict and worked together to cope with the current crisis. Of course, it is impossible to cooperate now, because the People's Army has penetrated more than 100 kilometers into the hinterland of the island of the continent and has endangered nearly 10 cities. Moreover, according to the report, the People's Army did not simply occupy and destroy, but also organized the Japanese to China. Japan was originally a small country with few people. This war has greatly damaged Japan's national strength. If it loses a large population again, even if the war is over, it will be difficult for Japan to recover its vitality. Of course, this is also very likely the purpose of the East China government.

Once the target was unified, the Japanese government was still very efficient. First of all, of course, it was necessary to make a difference in military affairs. Army Minister Masato Deichi was not tangled with the navy and decided to send two divisions immediately. One day later, he would enter Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures respectively, block the expansion of the People's Army first, limit the activities of the People's Army to Nodeng Peninsula, and then gather more troops, which is expected to reach 6-8 divisions and annihilate the People's Army.

In order to prepare for the arrival of the British and French Expeditionary Forces, Japan planned to form 16-18 divisions in China. The first batch of 10 divisions had been completed. Now it is necessary to mobilize most of the troops to encircle and suppress the People's Army. The army obviously did not retain it anymore.

The Army made a new gesture, and the Navy naturally had to make some statements. Army Minister Yuki Ito also promised that the Navy would choose the right time to attack the People's Army's maritime transportation line. At the same time, when the Army attacked the People's Army, the Navy would try its best to restrain the People's Army's fleet, etc. In addition, the Navy also put forward a suggestion, that is, to find an opportunity to dispatch ships to deploy a brigade's troops to the northeast end of the Nodeng Peninsula, launch an attack from behind the People's Army, and cooperate with the frontal attack. This suggestion has aroused the interest of the Army, and believed that it could be studied as a backup plan.

In addition to military affairs, the Japanese government believes that it should also strive for more international sympathy and isolate the East China government. Now Britain and France have completely opposed the East China government. The only ones that have weight are the United States, Germany, Austro-Hungary and Italy also have a certain amount of weight. Therefore, the Japanese government believes that the work of seeking international sympathy will mainly focus on these four countries.

Although Germany has always had a good relationship with the East China government, the two countries have not formed an alliance after all, and there is not even a formal national cooperation document. Japan and Germany have maintained a good relationship. The army is basically learning like Germany, so Japan still has the possibility of seeking help from Germany.

So Japanese Foreign Minister Sutaro Komura immediately met with the ambassador of the United States, Germany and Aoyi to Japan, and told them that Japan is now a victim and hopes that all countries can uphold justice for Japan and put pressure on the East China government. However, all countries said that this was a war between Japan and the East China government. All countries have expressed neutral attitudes, so they are inconvenient to interfere, so they can only help. Only the United States expressed sympathy for Japan and agreed to Japan that they would negotiate with the East China government.

The People's Army's landing in Japan was indeed much beyond the expectations of the United States. Although the US government foreseeed that the East China government would do its best to damage Japan and Russia before the British and French expeditionary forces arrived in the Far East to weaken the expeditionary forces' assistance, they all believed that the East China government's combat against Japan should be in the direction of the Korean Peninsula and took the opportunity to occupy the Korean Peninsula, but they did not expect to directly attack Japan's mainland.

However, when reviewing again, the United States found that the strategy of the East China government was much better than acting in the direction of the Korean Peninsula, because the Japanese army had only five divisions on the Korean Peninsula, and the shipping line was cut off by the People's Army. Therefore, even if the People's Army annihilated these five divisions and occupied the Korean Peninsula in an all-round way, the attack on Japan was actually limited. Moreover, since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan has operated on the Korean Peninsula for more than 10 years. Although the East China government also supported a group of South Korean restorers, it was too late and the climate had not yet formed. At present, it was not helpful to the People's Army. Moreover, in order not to push the Korean people to the Japanese side, using the Korean Peninsula must consider appropriately taking care of the interests of the Korean people. Instead, it restricted the military's performance and may not be able to easily occupy the Korean Peninsula.

When landing in Japan, the People's Army had much greater choice. If you can fight, you can retreat to the sea by boat and find the next landing site, so you can move forward and retreat freely. Moreover, the East China government did not occupy Japan for a long time, so of course it did not have to take into account the feelings of the Japanese people and could destroy them at will. These damages would be Japan's losses. This not only weakened Japan's war capabilities and hit the support of the British and French expeditionary forces, but also after the war ended in the future, Japan would have to restore its national strength for a longer time.

Once Japan is unable to provide sufficient assistance to the British and French expeditionary forces, it will be difficult for the expedition forces to completely defeat the East China government on the battlefield. At most, it will be difficult to have a certain advantage at sea, and it will be difficult to pose a substantial threat to the East China government on land. Therefore, the two sides may shake hands and make peace after a long period of confrontation, and finally resolve it through negotiations. The East China government’s gains at the negotiating table will not be lower than the Portsmouth negotiations. However, compared with the negotiations with Portsmouth, Japan and Russia were greatly weakened. Then, the recovery time of the two countries will be extended after the war, and it will be difficult to pose sufficient threat to the East China government for a long time. In the Far East, the situation where the East China government will dominate.

But this is not the result that the United States hopes to see. Although the isolationist sentiment in the United States was still very serious at this time, the political elites represented by US President Ossido Roosevelt all knew that the United States must not be isolated like this and must go all over the world and participate in world competition. The Far East of Asia will be the first step for the United States to expand externally, but the rise of the East China government will undoubtedly allow the United States to encounter a strong opponent in its expansion in Asia.

However, although the United States' national strength is strong, its military construction has not yet been kept up. In addition, the domestic isolationism is still very marketable. Therefore, although some military officials advocate joining the expeditionary force and going to war against the East China government, the US political foundation is still cautious at this time and has not easily given up its neutral position.

But the current situation does not allow the United States to take action. Therefore, after consultation with his staff and advisers, President Roosevelt made three action resolutions: First, conduct diplomatic negotiations with the East China government, expressing the US concerns about the Far East situation and putting pressure on the East China government. Although Roosevelt also knew that this was useless, at least the attitude of the United States to the East China government would make the East China government a little bit scruples, and also show kindness to Japan; Second, in addition to military support, try to provide support to Japan, improve Japan's war capabilities, and increase the difficulty of the East China government's war; Third, if Japan is defeated, the United States will try its best to support Japan after the war, so that Japan can restore its national strength as soon as possible to restrain the East China government.

So after receiving the order from Washington, Will Jackson, the US Consul in East China, immediately came to the Foreign Affairs Commission and negotiated with the East China government, on the grounds that the East China government burned the war to Japan, which was an act of expanding the scale of the war, further deteriorating the situation in the Far East and increasing uncertainty, which would seriously affect the US commercial interests in the Far East. Therefore, the US government is seriously concerned about this and hopes that the East China government can restrain itself and take effective measures to control the scale of the war.

Of course, the East China government would not swallow its anger and would definitely retaliate against the United States. So one day later, Li Sanjie replied to Will Jackson on behalf of the East China government, saying that since Japan and Russia can start a war on China's territory, the East China government has the power to launch a war in Russia and Japan's territory. This has nothing to do with the scale of the war, and the UK and France have done more than the East China government to expand the scale of the war, so the US government has misunderstood the object of negotiation.

However, Japan is very grateful for the actions of the United States. Ambassador to the United States Kentaro Kaneko frequently held talks with President Roosevelt. The two sides finally agreed that the US government would provide Japan with a guarantee of $100 million in low-interest loan to purchase American supplies, but did not directly provide Japan with currency, but instead exchanged it for American supplies, but in addition to arms. After the war, the United States will also carry out extensive economic cooperation with Japan to strive to restore Japan's national strength as soon as possible.

Although the United States cannot provide arms to Japan due to its neutral position, the materials are also urgently needed by the Japanese government. After all, Japan is now very lacking in various lives and the social crisis is very serious. If it can obtain 100 million US dollars of daily necessities, of course, it can stabilize the domestic situation. This is also very important for Japan. And arms weapons can be purchased from Britain and France. To be honest, Japan still looks down on arms produced by the United States!
