After he said these words, he also understood that he had no other way but to attract more hatred.

But he didn't care anymore, this position would do his best day by day, and if he stepped down, everything had nothing to do with him.

"All the army divisions of the imperial kingdom must be armed in the shortest possible time. We must start building fortifications ahead of time, abandon some less important cities, and build defense lines in the interior."

"Your Excellency, we must start diplomatic means now. The war can only be the last resort. We are very difficult to defend, so the speed must be fast. It is only possible to bring in Geely America. You should focus on With Mi Jian, the hope of peace talks lies with them."

Hirobumi Ito looked at the friends in Yama Prefecture, and then at Shigenobu Okuma. This time, there was no voting and other things, so he announced directly.

"But are the people of the Qing Dynasty willing to negotiate with us? Even if the peace talks are successful, we might lose a lot,"

Okuma Shigenobu said that the lesson last time was really bad. With the help of Geely Gallumi, they tightened their belts for ten years before repaying them, and now they have not paid a dime in loans from several countries.

"If the people of the Qing Dynasty are willing to negotiate peace, that would be a good thing. It shows that things have a chance to change. If they choose to continue to block our coastline and wait for our weakness, that would be the worst. The imperial nation will lose the last chance."

Hirobumi Ito sighed. Now these people haven't seen the situation clearly?If China chooses to destroy Neon, they can't stop it.

Everyone, especially those in the military department, also stopped talking. They imagined that once the peace talks they would face more stringent conditions than last time, but there was at least a glimmer of hope for the talks.And it can delay time.

…………

So on the second day after the defeat of the Navy, Neon began to take active action, seeking help from Geely Gaulmei. Gaul’s country was reduced to a battlefield, and it had already been devastated and ignored Neon at all. Instead, it was Geely and Mijian. Responded.

In fact, this decisive battle between the Neon Navy and the Navy also attracted the attention of Geely and Citigroup.

Although they think that the Neon is impossible to win, they cannot foresee the defeat of the Neon Navy. While lamenting that the strength of the Neon Navy is too weak, they have also done some research on naval warfare.

It was concluded that Khan cruisers were difficult to contend with battleships, but this conclusion of theirs did not affect the outcome of the Jutland naval battle that occurred afterwards, because the Geely State Navy except for a conceited naval squadron commander.

Geely country naturally agreed to Neon’s request, but they would only provide funds and diplomatic assistance.It is absolutely impossible to send troops, but there is a dispute within Mi Jian and the others.

Citi’s veteran admiral William Benson submitted a long report to President Taft. He compared the strength of Citi with Citi’s in detail. He pointed out that the strength of the navy has now far surpassed Mi Jian, and that once war starts, they will be in the early stage. Fell into a very disadvantaged position.It is recommended to strengthen the construction of the navy and restrain the external expansion.135 Chinese www.135zwxs.com

"Your Excellency! The report of the Navy Department is too one-sided. Although the human navy is powerful, they may not dare to do it with us. After all, our industrial output value is three times that of them."

Secretary of State Elihu Root found it incredible, he didn't think he dared to do something with their colony.Perhaps there will be a certain conflict between the two sides, but it will definitely be people who give in.

"Perhaps people's military strength now exceeds us. Maybe they can win in the early days of the war. We will lose Fabin and even Hawaii, but the remote seas and strategic depth can cut off the idea of ​​landing."

"When our powerful industrial capabilities are transformed, we can build more warships, and we are no better than economic and industrial people. Moreover, our navy is not as vulnerable as the neon navy, and is not as vulnerable to the war in Mexico. A large number of naval talents, as long as they don't compete with their huge army, the final victory will definitely belong to us."

Interior Secretary Garfield thinks so too.

"You are wrong! The Navy’s worries are correct. People’s naval qualities are at the same level as Gili Gaul’s, and even surpass the Will Army."

"Although our speed is already fast, their economic development speed far exceeds our grandma's industrial growth of over 18%. If this continues, it will only take ten years, and they will surpass us in total."

"At that time, we have no advantage except per capita. And that little per capita advantage will be overwhelmed by their huge demographic dividend."

"I was thinking that we did not choose to fight directly, but supported Neon. This strategy may be wrong."

Taft did not agree with the two men's views but chose to support the Navy Department.

Hearing Taft’s words, everyone was silent for a while, far more than Citi in terms of recognition and land. Even the resources they are proud of are not as good as Citi’s development potential. What’s more terrifying is Their development speed is so fast, Citigroup’s annual growth rate of about 10% has become even more harmful, and...

"In that case, it is not as good as the Cabinet's proposal to increase the budget of the Navy Department! This way we can deter people and also deal with the coming war."

So the Secretary of Finance Robert Bacon suggested.Citi now has a lot of money, it can invest in these things, and can use the European war as an excuse to explain to the public and Congress.

"Your Excellency, in order to prevent people and in case the war in Europe requires us to intervene, I suggest that the size of the army should also be expanded. We should maintain a standing army of at least 800,000."

Secretary of the Army Elihu Lut also took the opportunity to make a request. Such a large country only has a standing army of hundreds of thousands, which makes him, the Secretary of the Army, very aggrieved.And no matter what the outcome of the war in Europe, they will participate in the final victory to grab the fruits of victory.

"The two suggestions are very pertinent. Gentlemen, whether it is to deal with or in the future, we need to strengthen our military strength in Europe. Do you have any objections?"

Taft was naturally very satisfied with their suggestions, so he turned his attention to the others...
