1890 King of Southeast Asia

Original text from Tower \u0026 Read Novels~\u0026

November 18th, the third day after the old witch died.

The Japanese upper echelons held an emergency meeting on the 16th, and the upper echelons quickly reached a consensus and decided to transfer the crisis through the war against Qing.

The deterrence operation failed, and the military costs invested could not be recovered, and the crisis could not be transferred. The already difficult situation in Japan was made worse.

On the morning of the 16th, Japan passed a resolution to go to war against Qing again, and then formulated a specific war plan.

At this time, Japanese senior officials realized what kind of state Japan was in.

On the 18th, the Japanese Cabinet held a military preparation meeting.

"Can the Ministry of Finance really not come up with money? Even if it is one million or five hundred thousand, as long as it can pay the start-up funds, the Imperial Army can be self-reliant in the war." The Minister of the Army said sullenly.

Everything was well discussed before, and everyone was actually preparing to fight against the Qing Empire and make a lot of money.

Just when the army was boasting with the map of the Qing Empire and everyone nodded in praise, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance stood up and said that there was no money, so why fight?

"The previous deterrent military action, the joint fleet's attack, spent all the military funds. Now it's the end of the year, the budget has been spent, and there is no more money.

Besides, what can you do with just one million yen? Give the soldiers a few bullets? Without artillery, how can you break through the fortifications of the Qing Empire?" The Minister of Finance said that he didn't have money, and he didn't want his life? I can step down, but I don't have money.

"Shouldn't the navy be ashamed of its behavior? It spent precious funds, but in the end, it got nothing, and wasted time in vain." When the Minister of the Army heard that it was the Navy's fault, he didn't care about the money and started to mock directly.

"You!" The Minister of the Navy stood up and glared at the Minister of the Army.

"What do you mean? The Navy is precious, I know, and we understand, but this is not a reason for the Navy to have no achievements. If this fund is still kept, then the Army can... How much did the Navy spend on this operation?" The Minister of the Army asked.

"The Ministry of Finance has allocated 12 million yen."

"12 million? 12 million! How many shells and bullets are there? How much territory can be conquered for the empire?" The Minister of the Army said exaggeratedly.

"Enough! Sit down. The war expenses are in the billions. 12 million can't do anything." The Prime Minister was angry. The Minister of the Army sat down angrily. Before sitting down, he gave the Minister of the Navy a provocative look.

"Can we borrow money from Britain and the United States? Such an opportunity is really rare. It would be a pity if we miss it." The Prime Minister looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

The little emperor is about to ascend the throne, and the distribution of power will be disrupted. The upper class of the Qing Empire will usher in an inevitable period of chaos, but the length of this period of chaos is uncertain. If there is a political strongman, perhaps results will be achieved within a month.

"It will definitely be loaned, but there are some problems that make me very entangled." The Minister of the Ministry of Finance stood up, bowed and said calmly.

"Please speak." The Prime Minister looked at him expectantly.

"First, Japan is already carrying a huge financial burden. After deducting various necessary expenses, there is still about 80 million yen to repay the debt each year. If the amount continues to increase, the debt to be paid in the future will be too heavy."

"We can build, farm, mine, and build factories in the occupied areas. I believe it will be enough to pay the interest." The Minister of the Army said.

"This is the second problem. We occupied a piece of land that the Qing Empire exchanged for the Russians. The output of this land is far less than our investment. If we don't change the current practice, the empire will go bankrupt sooner or later."

"What? Where should it be fertile? Have you calculated the military expenses?" The Minister of the Navy said nervously.

Although it seems to be speaking for the army, it is actually speaking for expansion. If the possible benefits of war are denied, the power of the army will be greatly reduced.

"Not really. The population in the north of the Qing Empire is too small, and it is concentrated in Fengtian. The two provinces further north are larger than Japan, but there are only a few million people living there. Without people, there is no tax. No matter how fertile the land is, it is just land and cannot be turned into food."

"Is that all? Then we can immigrate, just like Nanhua did." The Minister of the Army said with a sigh of relief.

The Minister of the Navy sat down, drank a cup of tea, and said nothing.

"Immigration is another huge expense, and it will take many years to recover the cost. My suggestion is to take the initiative to attack Fengtian. There are nearly 15 million people from Jinzhou to Fengtian. We can take it slowly wherever we take it." The Minister of the Ministry of Finance said with a smile.

"S... If the logistics supply can be guaranteed, the Imperial Army will take Fengtian!" The Minister of the Army hesitated.

"It must be fast, before the West intervenes." The Prime Minister said.

"Hurry... Hey! The Imperial Army will definitely live up to its mission." The Minister of the Army twitched his mouth, but still nodded in response.

"Any more questions?" The Prime Minister looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, a little excited.

It was as if he had returned to the First Sino-Japanese War. That war helped the Empire gain Korea and laid the foundation for the Great Japanese Empire. This time, he took Fengtian and opened the door to Manchuria and Mongolia. He would definitely go down in history!

"Because Japan already owes a large amount of debt internationally, this loan must be mortgaged, and the interest will be very high." The Minister of Finance asked the last question.

"Mortgage?... Can't we issue national debt? Like during the Russo-Japanese War, it doesn't matter if the interest rate is a little higher." The Prime Minister asked hesitantly.

"It takes time to issue government bonds to digest and communicate with countries, but it can be issued once in China. It should be able to make a part, but it is too late."

"Can only loan?"

"I'm afraid yes, the Prime Minister."

"Then loan! How much is the right loan?"

"The first Japanese and Youth War spent more than 200 million. I see, 300 million, how about it?"

This money must be greater to the army, and he can overwhelm the navy in funding, which makes him excited.

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would start singing.

"If 300 million, the customs that we finally took back was mortgaged again." The Minister of Tibetan province looked at the army minister coldly.

"The Minister of Tibetan province should have a plan, let's talk about your plan!" Prime Minister signaled the Army Minister to shut up.

"Taking raw silk export revenue as a mortgage, 200 million yuan borrowed from Americans in a short period of time. Once the war started, South China would jump up and down again. American battleships were detained in Hawaii, and they would be happy to provide loans." Say your own plan.

The Prime Minister's eyes were bright.

"It is impossible for Americans to join the war?" Asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

"Americans are coordinating the issue of returning warships with South China. Race problems are explosive in China. I should not experience it. I will ask it." The Minister of Foreign Affairs seemed to be calm and calm, and added the last sentence.

"Since everyone has a plan, let's prepare. The cooperation between your two provinces must borrow funds and the future of the empire, just in your hands!" The Prime Minister looked at the Minister of Tibetan Province and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

"Hi!"

Out of the cabinet, the Minister of Tibetan Province and the Minister of Foreign Affairs came together.

"There are many difficulties in this matter. Americans may not be willing to borrow money." The Minister of Foreign Affairs said no one around him, and said quietly.

"Why? Americans have just suffered a loss, don't you want to get revenge?" The Minister of Tibetan Province asked in surprise.

He really thought that borrowing would be easy, especially with raw silk export income for mortgage.

"On the hit battleship, there were hundreds of American soldiers. At present, the mainstream public opinion in the United States is to pick up those soldiers safely. Americans are communicating with South China on this matter. rare."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs worsened the voice on the four words "war".

"Then, construction is not, industrial construction loans." The Minister of Tibetan Province understood.

"Also, don't directly contact the official, especially Congress. They like exaggerating the facts, concealing some content, and hype public opinion in order to obtain votes and go directly to the president or arms dealer, which is easier to solve."

"Military Fireman?"

"Military fire dealers have money, and they also have votes. The president and all walks of life are more familiar.

"Understand. Alibabo."

On the 19th, the Japanese ambassador to the United States vaguely expressed the meaning of borrowing money to the US Minister of Foreign Affairs to find trouble for Nanhua.

On the same day, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United States went to the ambassador's house as a guest, and the two talked for a long time.

On the 20th, the news settled in front of Tafa.

"Help me ask Mr. Morgan, and say that I have something to find him and let him arrange it as soon as possible."

On the 22nd, Morgan and Rockefeller signed a contract with the Japanese ambassador. One was mortgaged with Mitsui Group as a mortgage, borrowed 50 million US dollars to Japan, and the other was mortgaged with raw silk exports, and the loan was $ 50 million to Japan.

According to the exchange rate, $ 100 million is equal to more than 200 million yen. The money will be traded in Japan within three days in the US account.

According to the rules, it is impossible to be so fast. Whether it is a contract or a deposit, such a large amount is not possible in a few months.

However, Tafa took off the guarantee to Japan, and Japan also signed an inequality agreement.

The mortgage is not a family. If Japan cannot repay in time, the United States can directly deduct export revenue, deduct the part that should be repaid, and then give the rest to the Japanese government.

"Prime Minister, Japan's funds are flowing abnormal. In the United States, I heard that there is a lot of money flowing into the Japanese account. You are right. Japan is preparing to war."

"Such a good opportunity, the greedy Japanese will not give up. I did not expect that it would be so easy to use it." Asquers laughed.

"Do you need to remind Nanhua? It seems that Nanya is not ready."

"No, care about him, it's best to be really prepared, Japan! A pawn, a small investment, can restrain Russia, South China, the United States, three countries, and all alliance with him.

"By the way, let the Ministry of Finance collect a group of war supplies, the empire is not currently full of prosperity, damn Germans!"
