    If any country is very afraid of China's victory, it is undoubtedly Japan.  Since the decline of China, Japan has been thinking about defeating China all the time, cutting a piece of fat from China, replacing China and becoming the leader in East Asia.  When Japan started the Meiji Restoration, got rid of the colonial crisis in the West, and successfully moved towards a world power, it even regarded China as a stepping stone.  Japan mobilized the whole country to develop armaments, and finally defeated the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, achieved the victory they dreamed of, and forced the Manchu Qing Dynasty to sign a treaty that was humiliating and humiliating the country.  However, the worst thing is that before they received the war dividends, they were severely stepped on the ground by Sichuan West. After stomping a few times, Sichuan West also cut off a large piece of flesh from their bodies. This made  Japan was forced to interrupt its dream of becoming a powerful nation.

    Subsequently, Japan, in order to avenge its hatred, completely turned to the Western powers and became a lackey of the Western powers.  Originally, Japan thought that it could defeat China and put Japan back on the road to becoming a powerful country.  But I didn't expect that even if China faced so many enemies, it would still start the war first.  The first unlucky one is Japan.  After the Japanese navy was annihilated, Japan's hundreds of thousands of army troops were trapped in the country and could not play any role at all.

    However, at this time, Japan has not yet given up, and they have not given up hope.  Even if the industrial facilities that they had worked so hard to build in the country were destroyed, and even if the lives of the people in the country became very difficult due to the blockade, they did not give up.  They are still waiting, waiting for Japan's allies to defeat China. In that case, Japan will still have a chance.

    "However, what Japan has been waiting for is indeed China's victory one after another.  Russia was beaten to a pulp by China in the north, Britain and France were in ruins in Southeast Asia, and the United States, which had already declared war on China, was too frightened to act rashly.  The entire Far East and even the Pacific region have become China's territory.  This makes Japan feel not only dissatisfied but also deeply fearful.  When did China become so powerful?  Japan, which was originally full of confidence, felt for the first time how unwise it was to go against China.  And they will also pay for this, or in other words, the entire Japanese nation will pay for their ambitions.

    "Baga, why are these Russians so useless? They were easily defeated by the Chinese! It has become a delusion to expect them to defeat the Chinese!" At the five-phase meeting of the Japanese cabinet, Army Minister Katsura Taro was very dissatisfied.  said.

    Others were silent. Japan has high expectations for Russia.  Russia is a powerful country known as steam rollers. It was originally expected that the Russian army with its large number of people could easily crush China, but unexpectedly, the situation was completely reversed.

    "Everyone, everyone is very clear about the current war situation. The Chinese are winning day by day. If our allies cannot defeat the Chinese or even make peace with the Chinese, it will be a disaster for Japan.  "Prime Minister Shanxian Youpeng's face was so gloomy that he could almost shed tears.  Just when Japan was preparing for a war with China, the navy was completely wiped out, making Japan completely disqualified. This made these Japanese senior officials not to mention how aggrieved they were.  And then, the Chinese team won one after another, which made them feel the fear of failure even more.

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor summoned Saionji Temple yesterday. This is not good news for us!" Foreign Minister Aoki Shuzo said.  Saionji Konobo is a well-known moderate in Japanese politics. When the emperor summoned Saionji Konobo, it was obvious that he was not optimistic about this war and was preparing to make peace with China.  In this case, all of them, the main militant faction, will not end well.

    "It is too early to predict that the Chinese will win. The combined fleet composed of Britain, France and Russia has gathered at the Portsmouth naval port in the UK. It includes twenty-nine advanced battleships. Although it is not comparable to  We board the Chinese advanced battleships, but they have an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers. If the British, French and Russian combined fleets can defeat the China Navy, then we still have a chance of winning this war. No matter what happens, we can still make it a draw!"  Prince Arisugawa Norihito, the only one remaining among the three commanders of the Japanese Navy, said.

    "That's right, it's not time to despair yet. We still have a chance. Believe in our allies, they will definitely win!" said Prime Minister Yamagata Aritomo.  Now the whole of Japan has pinned its hopes on the combined fleet composed of Britain, France and Russia.

    "Don't worry, Prime Minister, the Imperial Army has formed sixty divisions and millions of elite troops. Even if the British, French and Russian combined fleets cannot win, the Imperial Army is enough to ensure the security of the empire. If the Chinese dare to land in Japan,  The Imperial Army will make them pay a heavy price!" Army Minister Katsura Taro said boldly.  After the navy was completely wiped out, the security of Japan fell entirely on the army.  Japanese Army StrengthThe expansion of the drama, coupled with the fact that Prime Minister Yamagata Aritomo is a veteran of the Army, has made Japan's power completely controlled by the Army.  Other members of the cabinet did not dare to go against the Army people.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that everyone is very dissatisfied with Katsura Taro¡¯s shameless talk.  If China can win this war, Japan will have no chance to challenge China.  At that time, Japan should consider how to continue the country and even the entire nation.

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister, now the coastline of the empire has been completely blocked by the China Navy. The food we purchased from other countries cannot be shipped back at all. Even the fishing boats can only sneak out to fish at night. The domestic food supply has already appeared.  There is a problem. Food prices have been rising again and again. If this continues, I am afraid there will be a famine before long!" said Masayoshi Matsukata, Minister of Tibet.

    "The current difficulties are only temporary. The citizens will definitely be able to endure it. As long as our allies can win, then we will be able to win!" Yamaxian Youto said with a frown.  It's not that he doesn't know the problem, it's that he has no solution.  Japan has never been self-sufficient in food and needs to import from abroad to a large extent.  At the same time, Japan's fishery is also very developed, and fishing is used to make up for the food gap.  Now, both of these routes have been cut off by China, which has suddenly forced Japan into a desperate situation.  Although Japan continues to claim that China's actions are murdering innocent civilians and continues to pour dirty water on China.  However, China remained unmoved and strengthened its blockade against Japan.  This makes life increasingly difficult for Japan as a whole.

    The whole of Japan has reached a time of life and death.  The most difficult thing is the Japanese civilians.  No matter how difficult the situation is, senior leaders like them can still live a very nourishing life.

    ¡°If Japan feels scared because of China¡¯s continuous victories, then Russia feels ashamed.  Russia has never taken China seriously. It has always regarded China as an object that can be bullied at will.  But now, the Russian army has been defeated again and again in front of the Chinese army.  So far, hundreds of thousands of troops have been lost, which made Tsar Nicholas II very angry and felt deep shame.  After all, Russia is one of the world's powerful countries. Even though it ranks very low among the powerful countries, it is now beaten so hard by China that it still makes Tsar Nicholas II feel that this makes him unworthy in front of other European royal families.  Get started.

    "Six hundred thousand! Since the beginning of the war, six hundred thousand people have been lost! What on earth is going on? Are you all a bunch of stupid pigs?" Nicholas II was furious, pointing at the Minister of War in front of him  Alexey?  Nikolayevich?  Kuropatkin cursed loudly.

    And Army Minister Alexey?  Nikolayevich?  Kuropatkin lowered his head and did not dare to argue.  However, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart that the person commanding the battle of Ulan-Ude was Grand Duke Nicholas, the uncle of Tsar Nicholas II.  If Grand Duke Nicholas was a stupid pig, then what was Tsar Nicholas II?  Aren't they also stupid pigs?  Of course, he could only underestimate it in his heart. If he dared to speak out, Tsar Nicholas II would definitely send him to the gallows immediately.

    With great difficulty, Tsar Nicholas II finally got through the storm and calmed down.  In fact, what Czar Nicholas II cared about was not how many troops he lost, but that he lost face in front of other countries.  The loss of 600,000 troops was nothing to Russia.  If he wanted, he could even raise an army of six million.  Of course, Russia will not be able to come up with so many weapons and equipment to arm these people for a while.

    "The battle situation on the front line is very bad. I don't care what you think, I just want to see the final victory! Russia must not be defeated by those yellow-skinned monkeys! The great Slavs must not be defeated by those with pig tails behind their heads.  The yellow-skinned monkey is defeated!" Tsar Nicholas II said with a gloomy face.

    "Your Majesty, Grand Duke Nicholas has returned to Irkutsk and is preparing to organize an army to continue fighting against the Chinese. However, there are only more than 200,000 people in Irkutsk now, and it may be difficult to resist the Chinese attack.  !¡± Minister of War Alexei?  Nikolayevich?  Kuropatkin said worriedly.

    "Tell Grand Duke Nicholas that I will fully support him. I will find a way to transport the troops and supplies he needs as soon as possible!" said Tsar Nicholas II.  In order to win, he plans to do whatever it takes!  (To be continued.
