Of course, Terauchi was indeed right. In another time and space, on July 2, Showa 4 (1929) - Hamaguchi Yuyuki's Cabinet took office as the Navy Minister (October 3, 1930). November 18 - in London

In the Naval Disarmament Conference, he became the plenipotentiary representative together with Reijiro Wakaki and established the treaty. He was attacked by the Constitutional Friendship Association led by Takeshi Inukai and Ichiro Hatoyama.

On the afternoon of May 15, the same day that Finance Ministry Tiao returned to Tokyo from London, Navy Chief Kanji Kato submitted his resignation to Finance Ministry Tiao, and presented the "Cabinet Impeachment Letter to Hamaguchi Cabinet" to Finance Ministry Tiao, demanding that Hamaguchi and Finance Ministry

Responsible for the "Command Violation Incident" to achieve the purpose of abolition of the Treaty of London.

On June 10, Kato took the opportunity to give a lecture to Emperor Showa and submitted his letter of resignation to Emperor Showa. Five days before that, Suetsugu also took the opportunity to give a lecture to the Emperor and sold Article 11 of the "Constitution of the Empire of Japan"

and Article 12, regarding the issue of commanding power, the lawsuit went all the way to Emperor Showa.

Because the Emperor remained silent, later, with the mediation of Saionji Temple and Okada Keisuke, the House of Representatives, the House of Lords and the Privy Council still passed the Treaty of London on the condition that the Ministry of Finance Hiroya resigned as Minister of the Sea. In this way, this "command power violator"

No one mentioned it for the time being.

Although this is all "a matter of the future", Finance Ministry Biao's performance at the London Naval Disarmament Conference was indeed because he was very dissatisfied with the military's insistence on the continental policy. He tried his best to suppress the military's right to speak.

In the Treaty of the London Naval Conference,

Article 1 stipulates that between 1931 and 1936, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan all gave up the right to replace capital ships in the Washington Naval Treaty. France and Italy can still replace capital ships in accordance with the Washington Naval Treaty.

Article 2 lists the battleships that need to be scrapped by the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan respectively, as well as the battleships that can be converted into practice ships.

Article 3 redefines the aircraft carrier. An aircraft carrier is a combat ship that carries aircraft and is used for aircraft to take off and land from there. Its tonnage is no longer considered. It also stipulates that capital ships are not allowed to install aircraft landing decks.

This meeting has actually liberated Japan from the restriction of building aircraft carriers in another way. As a country whose industry is far inferior to that of the United States, Japan can only find another way to develop a superior navy. It is also the reason why Japan temporarily became the world's No. 1 aircraft carrier in the next ten years.

A country with major carriers and the country with the most advanced application of aircraft carriers.

At this time, Finance Ministry Biao, who supports the establishment of the treaty, will of course make every effort to compete with the army for military expenditures. This is also Finance Ministry Biao's consistent position.

Of course, Nagata Tetsuzan did not consider this matter in 1922. Japan had reached the most dangerous edge. Without the present, there would be no future. The problem of the Ministry of Finance was not the problem, but the military expenditure.
