Bruce pondered for a moment, and he could see that both Takeda Fujiichiro and Okuma Shige Nobuki were worried about the current situation in Japan and had no intention of going to war again. However, he was not a fool. Since Okuma Shige Nobuki was willing to meet him at this time, it can be imagined that the other party still had a desire in his heart.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I want to emphasize one thing: Britain and Japan are in the same camp. This military operation against the Chinese is for the overall interests of our Allies. If we can win this war, not only will your country get rid of the current economic difficulties, but it will also strengthen your country's position as the number one power in Asia. On the contrary, if the Prime Minister decides to give up now, everything he has done before will be in vain."

"I don't know this truth, but now I'm really powerless..."

"If the Prime Minister is willing, our British Empire is willing to continue to fund Japan to complete this war. Let our British Empire fight side by side with the Japanese Empire and give the arrogant people of the Allies a profound lesson."

"You mean, your Congress continues to fund us?"

"Yes, as I said before, our British Empire has great hope for this war, so we must not lose it. We know the current situation in Japan. In order to achieve our strategic goals, continuing to assist your country is naturally part of the completion of the strategy."

"I understand..." Shigeon Okuma's eyes gradually flashed with elite divine light. He knew that this was not only an opportunity to change the fate of the country, but also a watershed in his political future. If the battle was successful, he would inevitably become the most prestigious prime minister in Japanese history. "Please wait a moment, I must make a phone call immediately. I will try to hold a cabinet meeting in two hours, and then I will arrange for the General Staff to follow up on this matter."

"I feel very relieved to hear your Excellency say this." Bruce said with a smile.

When Okuma Shigeshino walked out of the study, Takeda Fujiichiro, who had been waiting in the living room on the second floor, quickly got up and won. He was very concerned about any decision Okuma Shigeshino made. After all, this was a major game facing Japan. If you take any wrong step, you will fall into an abyss that will never be restored.

"Prime Minister, have you made a decision?" Takeda Fujiichiro asked with a very serious expression.

"Mr. Takeda, I think there is no longer any of you here. It's getting late, so you can go home and rest first." Although Shigeon Okuma didn't know Takeda Fujiichiro very well, he had heard that the other party was very close to the Minister of the Tsang Dynasty, which showed that the other party was an official of the democratic civil affairs faction. He believed that his current decision would anger the civil affairs faction, so he should try not to say too much.

"Your Excellency, I am also a Japanese. I also have the responsibility to care about the fate of the Great Japanese Empire. Please tell me how you decided?" Takeda Fujiichiro asked persistently without retreating.

Shigeon Okuma thought about it and knew that he was going to hold a cabinet meeting soon. It would be impossible to hide it for too long when he held a cabinet meeting in the middle of the night. This matter will be announced soon, so he doesn't have to target Takeda Fujiichiro. Besides, he is in a hurry now, and he will never give up until he achieves his goal. He doesn't waste so much time.

After taking a deep breath, he said solemnly: "I can't decide anything now, so I must immediately convene a cabinet meeting to discuss. In short, the success, failure, honor and disgrace of our great Japanese Empire is here, and I hope everyone can devote all their efforts to deal with it. Well, there is not much time, so I will not be with you."

After saying this, he left Takeda Fujiichiro** and left.

Takeda Fujiichiro is not a fool. He immediately heard the signs from Okuma Shigetsu's words. What else can Okuma Shigetsu as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet? Since the other party wants to hold a cabinet meeting urgently, it means that Ambassador Bruce has convinced the other party. If the cabinet meeting is held in the middle of the night, the two veterans will definitely not have time to participate, and by then the only one who will be left with Okuma Shigetsu will have the power to make decisions.

No, I have to notify the Lord Xiyuan Temple as soon as possible. This is too serious!

Takeda Fujiichiro thought secretly in his heart, then he even spared his farewell and hurriedly left the Prime Minister's residence.

Instead of returning to his residence directly, he came to the office of the Chiyoda Embassy District, where he called the mansion of Nishizoji Temple, told the important news to Nishizoji Temple, and asked the other party to convey it as soon as possible.

However, Takeda Fujiichiro did not know that in order to ensure the safety of telephone lines, the security agency of the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs has strengthened communication guarantees at the homes of all important officials, but has ignored the anti-eavesdropping investigations in some secondary office spaces. If Takeda Fujiichiro made this call at home, the situation might be completely different.

When the late-night call was connected to the home of Nishienji Gongwang, the intelligence team of the War Intelligence Agency, who had been lurking in Tokyo for a year, immediately realized the importance of this call and was glad to be heard by Takeda Fujiichiro.

A few hours later, the Tokyo Intelligence Station sent this important news back to China in the fastest way.

At six o'clock in the morning, the Nanjing Ministry of Defense held an emergency meeting. Everyone realized that the situation was critical. The British secretly set up a battle, and the Japanese would soon go back on their word. The Ministry of Defense sent this information to Kunming and Fengtian with the highest priority. At the same time, without the authorization of the head of state, the Ministry of Defense immediately mobilized three national defense divisions stationed in the Weifang military base into the state of war under the order of the Ministry of Defense, and asked the National Defense Force to go north to support North Korea as soon as possible.

It was already April 17th when the news was sent to the Kunming camp. After reading the telegram, Long Yun's face changed suddenly. He rushed to the head of state's office regardless of everything, almost rushing in by "bumping the door".

At this time, Wu Shaoting was holding a state meeting with Cai Cha, the left prime minister of the Vietnamese Empire, to discuss the re-division of the Sino-Vietnam border. Long Yun's reckless appearance immediately forced the state meeting to be interrupted, and the guards of the Secret Service even reached out to press their hands on the gun holster at their waist.

"First of the First Minister... Mr. Zuo Prime Minister, I'm really sorry..." After seeing the scene clearly, Long Yun quickly suppressed the words that rushed into his throat, and then returned to his calmness to apologize to the two of them.

Of course, Cai Cha realized Long Yun's misconduct, but he did not show too much intensity, and just nodded casually.

Wu Shaoting saw Long Yun holding a telegram in his hand. Combined with the other party's actions just now, he quickly guessed that it was important news. He stood up and scolded Long Yun in a serious tone. Then he proposed to Cai Cha to temporarily end the talks and continue after the luncheon. Of course, Cai Cha would not be ignorant, so he agreed happily, and then said goodbye and left the head of state's office.

After the Vietnamese left, Wu Shaoting said to Long Yunxun with a stern face: "You just broke in like this?"

Long Yun eagerly handed the telegram in front of Wu Shaoting, and said in a hurried manner: "Head of the People's Republic of China, important information sent by Nanjing..."

Wu Shaoting took a deep breath and said extremely serious: "No matter how serious or anxious the matter is, you must not lose your composure, especially in front of foreigners. The more anxious you are, the more you should be steady. If outsiders see that our head of state's office is dealing with problems like this, what will others think?"

Of course, Long Yun knew the seriousness of this matter, but he was afraid that he would be too impulsive and regret it for a moment.

Wu Shaoting received the telegram from Long Yun and then added: "Reflect on it carefully. If you are still so restless, how can you do big things in the future?"

Long Yun quickly responded: "Head of the People's Republic of China, I know I'm wrong, so I must reflect on it seriously."

After reading the telegram, Wu Shaoting immediately frowned and said in a calm voice: "The British have been making small moves."

Long Yun said worriedly: "First of the People, the Japanese are likely to go back on their word, but yesterday we just signed a peace agreement with them, and the whole country believes that we have won the war. If the news of another war is not handled well, it will probably cause a serious blow to the people and the morale of the army."

Wu Shaoting glanced at Long Yun and praised him for being a smart person. He took a breath and said in a serious tone: "Yes, I'm very worried about this. But then again, the Japanese are going back on their word. As long as public opinion controls, the hatefulness of Japan will also rise in the whole country."

Long Yun nodded and then asked again: "What should we do now? The British are prepared. It is probably difficult to deal with the North Korean First Army alone in North Korea."

Wu Shaoting's expression gradually became serious, and his tone was not bad at all. He said, "The most urgent task is to investigate what actions the British were doing, how many troops they deployed, and their detailed offensive routes. You immediately notify everyone to hold an emergency meeting ten minutes later, and you are also responsible for contacting the Nanjing News Department to do a good job in turning public opinion."

"yes."

Ten minutes later, the South Asian Theater Command, the Southern Second Army Command and the Head of State battalion rushed to the conference room. They received more or less news. Everyone knew that the situation in North Korea would soon undergo major changes. Although the South Asian Theater and North Korea are two completely different battlefields, China's foreign wars will be in the overall situation, and no one wants to be affected by emergencies.

Before the meeting officially began, Wang Changling gave a detailed introduction to the telegram sent back from Tokyo and said that the information was very realistic. Everyone whispered for a while and made various speculations, and the atmosphere in the venue became more and more serious.
