The Battle of Sulu Sea was over, the United States cried in the toilet, the Russians broke their glasses, the British were depressed at first, and then said it was not important. Prince Ruprecht was secretly happy behind the scenes. So what were the Japanese doing? First of all, it must be affirmed that more than 99% of the Japanese were trapped in a carnival, and they were not so excited even when they knew that the Qing Dynasty was preparing for peace talks!

After all, what is the Qing Dynasty? It is just a decaying and backward country. Its value is too low. Many Japanese even think that a Qing-Japanese war can fight for such a long time is a complete insult to Japan! But this time it is different. The powerful Japanese navy cleanly and neatly killed the navies of two powerful countries at one time!

One is the United States, which had a festival with Japan before, and the other is the Russia, which has a festival with Japan now! The Japanese have not forgotten what these two countries did during the Qing and Japan peace talks. (Okay, under political needs, the Americans are the same as Russia under the propaganda of the Japanese government) Now they have beaten up two countries directly, and Japan is so satisfying!

But no matter how happy it is, few people have thought about what Japan should do next. Of course, in the eyes of most Japanese, the next step is to gradually occupy the Philippines and end everything. You still have to consider what to do next? But in fact? The top Japanese leaders who just won a decisive naval battle are not easy now!

"To be honest, even when I just occupied Manila Bay, I never thought that I would have such a tragic battle with the US and Russian fleet. From the bottom of my heart, I was still afraid. Only when I saw the army in Manila Bay was attacked, I made up my mind."

The Japanese fleet went to Hong Kong and Taipei to maintain and replenish the supply respectively, while Shiki Kawayama took Hirahachiro Togo to Ryukyu to report the situation to the top Japanese leaders. When meeting Hirobuki Ito, Shiki Kawayama did not hide his previous concerns at all and revealed his thoughts.

"So what about now? Are you still afraid?" Hirofumi Ito said calmly.

"If I look at it from my point of view, I am not afraid at all! Because there is no existence in the entire Pacific Ocean that can match the joint fleet!" A hint of pride was revealed in Shiki Karayama's words. "But what I worry about is that after the end of this war, even if we acquire the Philippines, will our strategic situation worsen? Russia is our enemy, and the United States will also be an enemy-like existence!"

"It's very good that you can think of this, which means you have strategic vision. What I'm worried about now is that the Americans' military strength is not scary now, what's scary is the United States' national strength and war potential! After this stimulus, the Americans' military strength will definitely be greatly improved!" Hirobuki Ito nodded and said.

"So does the government want to reconcile with the United States?" Shiki Kawayama's second sentence immediately reduced his height in Hirofumi Ito's eyes from 1.72 meters to 1.27 meters!

"How can this TM be reconciled? The Japanese withdrew from the Philippines? If they had known this, why would they have fought this battle? Together with the Americans? It is also impossible! No Japanese class would agree, and the Americans would not agree." Hirobuki Ito said in his heart, and his face turned darker.

"If this is the case, then the only way is to prevent the United States from entering the Far East forever! The dirty hands of the Americans reaching into the Far East were completely cut off!" Facing Hirofumi Ito, Shiki Kawayama was not afraid, but directly expressed the fundamental purpose of the trip. Shiki Kawayama knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation between the United States and Japan, but he was worried that the top leaders would have fantasies, so he decided to test it. Judging from the results of the test, the situation was pretty good, and he could finally tell some of his thoughts!

"The war is not over. The Battle of Sulu Sea only gave the empire the lead, but it does not mean that the dust has settled. The Americans still have three battleships and some cruisers on the ground, and they are also running around to obtain new warships! With the Americans' financial resources and strength, it is not difficult to form a navy stronger than the Dewey fleet with the Russians."

"Even if the Americans give up the Philippines temporarily, it does not mean that we are restless. On the contrary, if we are not careful, the entire empire will be in a state of doom! Although the support of the British is important, it is not enough to be a ceremonial guard. This can be seen from the interference of the Three Kingdoms in the issue of returning Liao, the British will not offend more than two major powers at the same time for the empire, so the only way is to rely on ourselves!" Hirahachiro Togo, who was on the side, also added.

"I feel a very dangerous signal from your words! You are going to continue to expand the war." The slightly hoarse voice of the Nishiyuanji Kotoshi sounded from the side.

"We..." Facing the powerful Nishienji Temple, both Karayama Shiki and Togo Hirahachiro were a little nervous.

"It is better for soldiers to interfere less in politics, your heads cannot handle those troublesome things." Looking at the slightly nervous naval general, Nishizoji relaxed his tone and continued, "Tell me what you think, maybe you can give some advice to the emperor and the government."

"The conflict and confrontation between us and the United States in Honolulu has been going on for a long time. This is an opportunity to understand. As long as Honolulu can fall into the hands of the empire, then if it is built into a fortress, the Americans will never be able to enter the Western Pacific!" said Shiki Karayama.

Does Japan have any ideas about Hawaii? That's for sure! Otherwise, what would Japan go to Hawaii to confront Americans in the 1980s? The Japanese are not just thinking about it, but that's a plan. Otherwise, what is the treaty signed by Japan and the Queen of Hawaii? How can I explain the total population of Japanese immigrants in Hawaii account for 40%?

Historically, the confrontation that occurred in 1897, because the Hawaiian government refused to enter Japanese immigrants continued until the end of the Spanish-American War. It ended with the Japanese returning home and the United States paying a certain amount of compensation. Since then, the Americans have successfully turned Honolulu into a state of the United States with the power of the Spanish-American War, thus completely cutting off the Japanese's ideas. But now, the situation is different!

It turned out that the Japanese feared the Americans' strength and dared not rob them openly. Now? When the Japanese feel that the Americans' military strength is not so good and easily knocked them down, they must rob this piece of fat that has already made Japan covet! What is the thing in Honolulu now? As soon as the Japanese warship arrived, they sent 2,000 soldiers to the cooperation of Japanese overseas Chinese, and they were able to handle it! It was a huge bargain!
