    "Will this directly offend France and make them really determined to deal with us?"

    Although Saionji Gongwang doesn't trust Katsura Taro very much, he also knows that facing the Empire of Japan, a big ship that everyone is on, Katsura Taro will never slack off in work. However, he has also done Japanese work.  Prime Minister, he knows even more clearly that although Japan looks very huge now, at least in East Asia, it does not have to give in to Russia, the behemoth of some European powers, and the United States, one of the hegemons in the Americas.  In front of those real superpowers, such as the United Kingdom, the German Empire, Spain and France, you must truly lower your head and admit that you are inferior. Although it is a bit embarrassing, facts speak louder than words. The comprehensive strength of these four countries is definitely superior.  Countries such as Russia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Japan, the United States, the Italian Ottoman Empire, etc. are all quite different.  This is undeniable, and it is precisely because of this that other countries in the world now dare not touch the interests of these four countries. Unless they are supported by other countries among the four countries, otherwise, they will definitely receive unusual 'rewards'  .

    It is precisely because I understand that I am worried.

    "Nizono-kun, this is not what you said in the past. I remember that during the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, when you were the president of Seiyukai, you directly proposed to me to directly attack Russia and Siberia in their belly.  In the past, you were not afraid of anything. Could it be that you have been too comfortable these past few years, so you have retreated a little bit?"

    rest assured.  How could I shirk it? I will continue to lead everyone to participate in the prime minister election in the second half of the year. By then, I also hope that after I come to power this time, you can help us form a cabinet, and I have already done this for you.  You¡¯ve picked your spot.¡±

    "Where is it?" Katsura asked with interest.

    "I will not be as stingy as you and only give me a position as a government adviser. This time, I am going to directly arrange the position of deputy prime minister for you. How do you think? What do you think?"

    "Deputy Prime Minister, it is indeed a good method. Well, if things are really as we predicted. Then I have accepted it before."

    "Tell me. How do you plan to deal with the sudden incident in France?"

    Katsura Taro did not hide anything and said: "France is a fierce tiger. As an ally of Russia, they will stand up sooner or later, but it only depends on the length of time. According to my estimation, it may take our war to end soon.  It's the right time to stand up, but it was because of Nogi Nogi Nogi's idiot this time that the French stood up and showed off their prestige. Of course, after all, the French government had just been established, and it was necessary to use prestige to consolidate itself.  The political environment is also understandable. We did this at the beginning, right?

    But what surprised me was that the French government, which I originally thought was a verbal support, actually actually took out all its weapons and gave them to Russia. France has completely stopped hesitating." At this point,  Katsura Taro was also lamenting. The situation in Europe affects everyone in the world. This is not only about Europe, but because it is about the future of everyone in the world. Even if they are as powerful as Japan, in front of these Europeans, they also know  Its own destiny is still controlled by Europe. At any time and at any time, Japan may be strangled by a sudden situation or, on the contrary, become more prosperous and powerful, unable to control itself. This makes Japan as a single person now.  As the Prime Minister of Japan, who is more than tens of millions of people, he has to plan carefully.

    "When you say that there is no hesitation at all, do you mean that France has decided to continue to choose an alliance with Russia in the European strategic game?"

    "Yes, France is now in a difficult position. Russia has too many enemies. Britain, which is wary of Russia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which has a land-grabbing dispute with Russia, and the Ottoman Empire, which is being invaded and eroded by Russia step by step, has a grudge against Russia.  Deep in Spain, these originally made France hesitate again and again, but in the end they chose to maintain each other's strategic alliance with Russia.

    The reason for this, alas, may be that France has a sense of crisis in its self-confidence and security because the four countries are now working together to deal with Russia. France does not trust the other British, German, and Spanish around it, so France is the only one who feels lonely and desperate at this time.  I feel that Russia neither threatens France's interests but also has a deep traditional cooperative relationship with France. It does not require too much diplomatic cost to complete the loyal friendship with France in the heart of an ally. Therefore, at this time, it risks offending other countries.  Danger, to further consolidate the relationship between France and Russia, it can be said that the calculation has been made very loudly.

    In this case, whether I stand up or not, the response from France will be the same.  In this case, we no longer need to give face to the French, and even though the FrenchIt is still one of the superpowers, but it is only one of them. Many people are discussing it now. In fact, seriously speaking, the real superpower now is the United Kingdom, followed by the German Empire and Spain, and then France.  , and France still relies on colonies to maintain itself. In comparison, the previous three countries are all real superpowers in every aspect, and France is just a superpower.

    To put it bluntly, Britain, Spain and Germany are the first three countries, and France is just between us, the second and first-class powers. So, taken together, in fact, due to geographical factors, we are  In this region of East Asia, France is not even as strong as us compared to us. Only Spain and the United Kingdom can compete with us. The German Empire has now added the Primorsky Territory. If it develops well in the future, it may be possible.  Plus the German Empire scares us.

    In the past, we were worried about France because we were afraid that France would gather other allies to deal with us like Russia is doing now, but it is different now. Britain has gradually drifted away from France, and it seems that it is faintly siding with Spain, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire  The empire doesn't have much potential as an ally with France.  Italy originally existed, but was recruited by Germany as its younger brother. Now France has to guard against Italy suddenly cooperating with Germany's sudden attack, so it is impossible. Spain and France are in conflict with each other because of territorial disputes.  .

    After all calculations, as the French government thought, only Russia is left. And since Russia already has irresolvable disputes with us, and now France's obvious position has been determined, then, at this time, our passionate love will be attached to others.  We just don't do anything that is embarrassing, and we even directly counterattack the other party, which is very satisfying.  "

    "What about the war? How are you going to solve it?" You know, tens of thousands of people have died in vain because of Nogi Nogi's stupidity. These people still have parents and children in their families. They have lost so many people at once.  The family members will never give up, so this has caused the government a problem of resettlement.  If the war does not go smoothly or ends quickly with a few casualties, it is not impossible that the Hibiya arson incident a few years ago will occur.

    "Of course, let's continue. I will talk to Yamamoto Gonbei and Oyama Iwa later on whether it's time for us to increase our troops."

    Lord Xiyuanji left the Prime Minister's Office in a somewhat unruly manner. This was his official residence three years ago, but now Katsura Taro lives there. Unlike when he hurriedly walked in full of worries, when he came out, he realized that he was still there.  He was really nostalgic here. Thinking of another prime minister election to be held in the second half of this year, he said to himself with excitement, "Come on," and once again took a deep look at this power center representing the highest official of the Japanese government.  And left.

    "Saionji Gongwang seems to be very confident that he will continue to sit on the position of prime minister this year." Inoue Kaoru looked at the teacup on the table that Saionji Gongwang had just drank and had not yet been put away.

    "That's because he thinks he has this ability. Moreover, don't forget that the people who support him are also the source of his hope."

    "That's just what he lives in his own heart. Maybe, in this year's general election, it would be better to give him a hard punch and let him get injured and take a rest."

    "Inoue-kun also looks like the best counselor in Japan"

    "Haha, hasn't this position already been given to Takasugi Shinsaku by Yin Teng Hirobumi?"

    "You forgot to mention it. It was a mistake. But I don't think it will be that difficult for Inoue-kun to take over this position."

    "That's why I came to the Prime Minister's Office just to gain a false reputation, so I ask the Prime Minister not to look down on me because I am a person who cherishes false reputations."

    "Haha, you are really good at joking. Inoue-kun is really a good talker. Chatting with people like you is also a pleasure. Haha, in this case, I can only use Ito Hirobumi to learn from Japan's super veterans."

    "That's right. After all, His Majesty Emperor Meiji is still willing to see a more balanced situation in Japan's political arena."

    Katsura Taro's heart moved. It seems that Inoue Kaoru is really as rumored by the outside world. He is His Majesty the Emperor and Japan's big chaebol. Nippon Yusen, the Mitsui Zaibatsu, and the Fujita group have a close relationship. As a former close subordinate of Ito Hirobumi, he should  You will know a lot of Ito Hirobumi¡¯s secrets.

    *****

    While various calculations are being made around the world, on the Russian Far East battlefield, a more grand war is still brewing.
