It cannot be true or false. In this era when radios have begun to become popular, although ordinary Japanese people do need some time and money from their homeland to the Yalu River, it is not something they can't do if they want to get news from the Yalu River.

The previous Sino-Japanese War was accompanied by the Kanto earthquake, leaving unforgettable memories for the Japanese people. The rumors of rebuilding the British-Japanese alliance undoubtedly made the Japanese people concerned about politics believe that once the British-Japanese alliance is re-signed, Japan will be involved in the war again.

Soon, those who inquired about the news received a reply. Although the news sent back from the front through different channels stated that only the increase of troops was added, the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea were mobilized. There was neither mobilization of Japanese local troops nor any orders to start a war. Some news also emphasized that the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea issued a death order and would never start a war without permission. Anyone who violated this military order shall be executed by military law.

But in the eyes of the Japanese in the rear, since they had sent a large number of troops to the border, if they didn't fight now, they would fight in the future. With the spread of the news and repeated verification, by early July, a sense of panic had already appeared in Japan.

Nagata got this news on a cruise ship to the UK. After reading the domestic report, Nagata was angry, but it did not show it. Because mobilizing a large number of Japanese troops stationed in North Korea to the Yalu River is no longer a matter that the commander of the North Korean army can do. The third army chief must have ordered it.

As for the three chiefs of the Army, they were also ordered to do it. Expressing threats to China is a national decision and must be led by the Prime Minister and discussed through a cabinet meeting. In other words, Japan has already had a relatively clear attitude towards reaching an alliance with Britain, or at least reaching a quasi-alliance.

Nagata was considering whether to share the news with Ishihara privately. Among the military delegations sent by the military this time, Nagata Tetsuyama was the leader of the military delegation, and other members of the military delegation were the essence of the army. Ishihara Kanir, a guy who was the essence but was not welcomed, was stuffed into the delegation after the first few discussions, so Ishihara had no authority to get some news.

Finally, Nagata made a decision and asked Ishihara to come. After finishing what happened, Nagata saw Ishihara's indifferent look and couldn't help but admire Ishihara's mind. Nagata also felt that this matter itself was meaningless, and what was valuable was Japan's strategic thinking.

However, Ishihara had no intention of discussing at all, just listened quietly. Nagata knew that Ishihara felt that these things didn't matter at all. After waiting for a while, seeing that Ishihara never spoke, he could only continue to ask: "Ishihara Jun. The chief guard in the palace invited the Prime Minister and several ministers to have dinner before we set off. During the meal, he said that if China signs a treaty and does not develop the navy and agrees to completely resume trade, China and Japan can negotiate."

"Is this going to make He Jun laugh?" Ishihara asked with disgust.

When Nagata heard this, he felt expectant, "What do you mean?"

"If you really want to talk about it, why not propose that some industries must be invested in China by Japan within a certain period of time, Japan provides technology and talents, China provides land and manpower, and sales will be represented by Japan. If so, at least He Jun can still believe in the sincerity of the empire."

Nagata was extremely impressed when he heard this. Because the conditions mentioned by Ishihara just now were the conditions proposed by the crown prince after asking the senior ministers such as Nishizoji Gongwang. After the chief guard finished speaking, except for the Minister of the Takahashi, the other ministers of the cabinet, were actually a little surprised and felt that He Rui would not accept such conditions.

Ishihara did not attend the meeting, and he could make the same suggestions as the outstanding upper class of the Japanese Empire. Such insights are worthy of being recognized by the upper class as the person next to Nagata.

Nagada wanted to praise a few words, but said nothing. With Ishihara's intelligence, how could he not know the significance of this mission? The UK and Japan have a very special relationship, and Ishihara was sent to the military delegation that was related to major events such as the British-Japanese alliance. This was equivalent to announcing to the British upper class that Ishihara was the most valued talent in the Japanese army. The British side would also regard Ishihara as the future three chiefs of the Japanese army to receive.

If Ishihara did not serve as the Third Chief of the Army in Japan later, then the UK would be demoted to the main members of the military delegation sent by Japan in the future. After all, Japan itself was not the proudest person in the Japanese army. Why should the British pay attention to these Japanese soldiers?

Therefore, unless Ishihara dies after visiting the UK. As long as Ishihara does not die, even if Ishihara makes a mistake, Ishihara must be allowed to sit in the position of the third chief for a while. Anyway, it is not too late to settle the accounts after the autumn.

Thinking of this, Nagata asked: "Why did Ishihara make such a request? Do you think He Jun would agree?

"If several advantageous industries cannot be preserved and Japan can obtain profits from continuing industrial upgrading, Japan will lose completely in the competition with China. China has a large population and its export types are highly coincidental with Japan, so there will inevitably be a situation of sales price competition. At that time, similar industries in Japan will inevitably be terrible. How could He Jun not know? And He Jun has no reason to refuse, unless Japan itself denies such conditions."

Nagata was a little surprised, "Nagata Jun thinks that Japan will disagree?"

"Those people are short-sighted and only see immediate interests. They will never accept China's rise and naturally will not agree to any opportunity to cooperate with China. In their opinion, it is not cooperation with China, but recognition that China has restored its status as the strongest country in Asia and helping China become stronger. Hum! Nagata-kun, you have to be careful of these people. Ishihara said it in the end and sneered.

Nagata did not answer immediately. Ishihara's words were very sharp and saw through the mood of the current top Japanese. 20 years ago, some people in Japan did propose to do their best to make up for the Sino-Japanese conflict caused by the Japanese-Singapore War and promote Sino-Japanese cooperation. However, the subsequent Russo-Japanese War broke out and Japan won a great victory. Those who hold this view changed their thinking one after another, and the conflict between China and Japan deepened rapidly.

Now, some of the upper classes in Japan have accepted the changes in the situation and tried to restore Sino-Japanese relations. However, this part is also clear that if they want to resolve the 30-year-old resentment, Japan must pay a huge price.

There are also some senior executives who do not consider resolving resentment at all. They believe that instead of paying a huge price to resolve conflicts, it is better to stand directly on the opposite side of China and fight against China to the end. Since Japan can defeat China once, it may not be impossible to defeat the second time.

More senior executives are both sides of the rat, not willing to understand the real changes in the world, nor willing to damage their interests. This is the most difficult thing Nagata feels at the moment. In Nagata's view, Japan must change. If a complete Japan cannot be built, the current powers will collapse Japan.

Thinking of this, Nagata continued to ask: "If I guessed correctly, Ishihara Jun thinks that Britain will lose!"

"The British military will fail, but other parts may not be the case. After all, He Jun does not want to fight with Britain until he dies together. Since the purpose is for peace, I think Britain will not seek death. However, after accepting He Jun's request, Britain will find ways to limit China's development. At this time, Japan has a very great value to be used."

After saying this, Ishihara sneered again, "Hmph, Japan is not short of people who are willing to be exploited. In their opinion, this is precisely using the United Kingdom."

Nagata felt that he had nothing to say. Since Ishihara had seen through the whole situation and could firmly believe in his judgment of the United Kingdom, nothing else would be useless. However, at this time Nagata was relieved of Ishihara.

Ishihara is 5 years younger than Nagata. The two fought side by side in North Korea and won the nickname "Double Walls of the Army". Nagata is 42 years old this year, which is a good time for his youth and strength. After visiting the UK, Nagata went to the Army University to be the president. After the term of office ended, Ishihara became the head of the Army Staff. Ishihara took over Nagata as the president of the Japan Army University. That year, Nagata was 44 years old and Ishihara was 39 years old.

As long as the political situation does not show a drastic change that involves the two. About two or three years later, Nagata became the chief of the Army Education and Ishihara became the chief of the General Staff. Nagata believed that Ishihara might be the most suitable candidate for the General Staff in the Japanese army now. As long as Ishihara did not cause trouble, he might become the longest-term chief of the General Staff in Japan.

When Ishihara no longer serves as the Minister of the Army, Ishihara will be promoted to the position of the Minister of the Army. It is estimated that Ishihara was 50 years old at that time, and even if her personality is still bad, no one will really care about these things. No one who becomes the Minister of the Army has a good personality. Moreover, in Nagata's opinion, Ishihara has a bad personality, but she is actually quite fair and does not pay attention to personal gain. She may not be an excellent Minister of the Army.

Nagata knew very well that what Ishihara wanted was the opportunity to display his talents. Now that the door to opportunity has been opened to Ishihara, Nagata expressed his attitude to Ishihara, "Ishihara, no matter what, you will be the president of the Army University in a few years. I hope that the instructors from the Army University will welcome you back to the school."

Ishihara smiled slightly, "Thank you Nagata Jun." Then she stood up and said goodbye. Back in her cabin, Ishihara lay on the bunk, thinking about the many uprising plans that had been deduced in her mind.

The Japanese upper class is really beyond salvation. Japan has reached the threshold of choice. If the reform fails, not only will Ishihara and the comrades of the Future Society be executed as rebellions, but Japan's future will also enter the darkness without a future.
