Inside the Japanese Imperial Palace, Hirohito slowly sat on his throne, served by a dozen beautiful girls.
In front of him were more than a hundred civil and military ministers from Japan.
Hirohito said: "There is a piece of news that you may not know yet, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang of China has been defeated. What do you think about this?"
The Admiral of the Navy, Yamamoto Neiji, and Cabinet Minister Tanaka Ichiro looked at each other.
Then, Yamamoto Ningji said: "I wonder what Your Majesty means? Do you have the idea of unifying Middle-earth again?"
"If that is the case, I will start working on this matter now and guarantee that within three months, we will establish a foothold on the southeastern coast of Middle-earth for the Ministry of Army."
Hirohito said in one sentence: "Baga, who said we are going to attack Middle-earth again? What I mean is, is it possible that Zhang Wuji will attack our Japan?"
Yamamoto Ningji said to himself, "So that's how it is."
After organizing his thoughts a bit, he continued: "Your Majesty, I don't think this problem will happen, at least not in the short term."
"Although Zhu Yuanzhang of the Wei Dynasty has been defeated in the war, Zhang Wuji is probably not doing much better now. His Ming Dynasty was only established a few years ago and is facing financial difficulties."
"If you want to attack our Great Japan, you don't need the army. If Zhang Wuji attacks, the first people he will face are the soldiers of our navy. Our navy has more than 300 large warships, plus the small warships of the near-shore generation, there are probably more than a thousand of them. With such a large fleet, it is difficult to say anything on land, but at sea, our Great Japan's navy is invincible."
Yamamoto Ningji's words made Hirohito Hiroichi fall into deep thought. In the past, Hirohito Hiroichi also believed that his soldiers were invincible, not only at sea, but also on land. Otherwise, he would never send an army of 200,000 to attack Zhu Yuanzhang. However, the annihilation of the 200,000-strong army made him seriously doubt the combat effectiveness of Japan.
This kind of doubt is not only reflected in the army. Hirohito Hiroichi is now also wondering whether his own navy will be wiped out in one battle.
At this time, Cabinet Minister Ichiro Tanaka spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Wuji of the Ming Dynasty is a few years younger than you, but at this age, he has already established a powerful empire in China. Although his empire is still very poor, the Ming Dynasty is a vast country after all. As long as it is managed properly, money can be easily obtained."
"Therefore, I believe that as long as Zhang Wuji recovers, the first thing he will do is to build a powerful navy. The purpose of building this navy is to compete with the navy of our great Japan. If Zhang Wuji's Ming fleet wins, it will land at one of our ports and invade our great Japan."
After pondering for a moment, Hirohito Hiroichi said, "What Mr. Tanaka said makes sense. If I were Zhang Wuji, I would do the same."
"Therefore, I also think that our great Japan will have a great battle with Zhang Wuji sooner or later."
"Everyone, tell me, how should we deal with this matter next?"
At the Ministry of War, the new Grand Marshal, Inoue Takeshi, said: "Your Majesty, offense is the best defense. I believe that instead of waiting for Zhang Wuji to attack us, we should attack him first."
"Our Army Department has recently recruited another 100,000 new troops, who may be of use."
As soon as Inoue Yu finished saying this, he was ridiculed by the Navy.
The Grand Admiral of the Navy, Yamamoto Neiji said: "Baga, you people from the Army Ministry still have the nerve to speak at this time?"
"A few months ago, Musashi Hideki just wiped out an army of 200,000. Now your Army Department has just recruited 100,000 new troops, but you are rushing to die. Are the lives of my Japanese men so worthless?"
Inoue Yuyan said: "Yamamoto, don't be so arrogant. The reason why your Navy Department has not suffered any defeat for such a long time is simply because you have never fought any battles since its establishment. Without fighting any battles, you are naturally invincible."
"Although 200,000 brave warriors of my Army Department were killed or wounded, those 200,000 men died on the battlefield with dignity. Compared with you, a group of cowards from the Navy Department, the people of my Army Department are the real warriors."
…
Inside the Japanese Imperial Palace, people from the Ministry of the Army and the Ministry of the Navy started arguing again.
This kind of quarrel has almost become a tradition in Japan, and even Hirohito Koichi has no good solution.
However, just when the two groups were about to fight, Cabinet Minister Saburo Abe said: "Your Majesty, there will be no war in the next two to three years. Even if our great Japan will go to war with Zhang Wuji's Ming Dynasty, it will definitely be five years later."
"Because at this moment, neither of our two families has the capital to initiate a large-scale war."
"A few months ago, that idiot Musashi Hideki destroyed an army of 200,000, which is almost half of the military strength of my Great Japan. If we attack the Ming Dynasty again now, then my country of Japan will need to send out all its troops. It will be too dangerous to do that. We covet the wealth of the Middle Earth, and others may be coveting our Japan. Therefore, the main task of the Ministry of the Army now is to expand the army. We must expand the army's strength to about 500,000 within five years."
"And the people in the Navy Department must also make the same preparations and build more warships, because in a few years, when we fight against the Ming Dynasty, you will be the first to bear the brunt."
