Jagged Germany Chapter 714: have to fight

  Island, Tokyo, Pri Minister's Office.

   Pri Minister Okuma Shigenobu felt an inexplicable irritability, as if sothing big was about to happen. The German expeditionary fleet is not far from Tokyo, which makes him very worried that the expeditionary fleet will break into Tokyo Bay. In that case, God knows what trouble will happen.

   "I hope the guys in the navy will guard the Uraga waterway! If the Germans break into Tokyo Bay and open fire on Tokyo, then the problem will be troubleso." Okuma Shigenobu murmured.

   Now he feels more and more that it is not so easy to defeat the German fleet. They thought everything was too simple before. However, even if you want to stop now, it is impossible. Those guys will not be willing to give up the vast territory of Southeast Asia.

  At this mont, Shigenobu Okuma's secretary broke in sweating profusely. This made Okuma Shigenobu frowned, he was very unwilling to see the people below not following the rules.

   "What happened? It's unbecoming to be so panicked!" Okuma Shigenobu reprimanded.

  The secretary was stunned for a mont, and then replied: "Your Excellency, the Germans bombarded Shizuoka. The entire Shizuoka was bombed into ruins, and the people suffered heavy casualties!"

   "What?" Shigenobu Okuma was stunned for a mont, as if he had been hit by a bolt from the blue.

   "Hachi! What's going on? How could the Germans launch a bombardnt on Shizuoka? Don't they worry about being condemned by the international community for massacring civilians like this?" Okuma Shigenobu roared angrily.

  The secretary lowered her head and said nothing.

   "Imdiately summon other cabinet ministers and co to the pri minister's office imdiately. Also, inform the elders of this matter!" Okuma Shigenobu ordered.

  The German fleet launched shelling on the coastal cities of the island country. This is obviously a major event, and it must be properly negotiated and handled. Otherwise, this will have extrely serious consequences for the island country.

   "Yes, Your Excellency the Pri Minister!" The secretary imdiately went to make arrangents.

  In less than 20 minutes, all the other ministers of the island's cabinet gathered in the pri minister's office. Everyone already knew what happened, so their faces were very ugly. Especially Admiral Yatsushiro Rokuro, the Minister of the Navy, the navy was under trendous pressure. Now, the Germans are actually bombarding the coastal cities of the island country. This is clearly to force the island country's navy to go to sea for a decisive battle! If they choose to avoid war again, who knows if the German fleet will continue to bombard their coastal cities? In that case, the loss of the island country will be great. And the navy of the island country will inevitably face the unfavorable situation that thousands of people point out.

   "Okay, everyone is here, then, let's start the eting!" Pri Minister Shigenobu Okuma said with a dark face.

   "Your Excellency, the elders are here." The secretary ca in suddenly and reported.

  Okuma Shigenobu and others imdiately stood up, left the eting room to et the elders.

   "Your Excellencies, it is really my cri to labor you to co to the Pri Minister's Office." Okuma Shigenobu said with his head down.

   "Okuma-kun, now is the ti when the empire is in a difficult situation, so there's no need to talk about these hypocrisy. You can continue with the eting, we're just here to observe!" Yamagata Aritomo said.

   "Hi, Yamagata-sama." Okuma Shigenobu nodded.

  Although, a friend from Shan County said that the elders were only here to observe, but who dares to take his words seriously? In any case, when the cabinet ets, they must give priority to their opinions. If they turn a deaf ear to it, then their current term of cabinet may be over, and they will be kicked out soon. These veterans definitely possess such powerful energy.

"Everyone, I just got the news. The Germans brazenly launched an attack on Shizuoka. The entire Shizuoka has been blown into ruins. According to preliminary estimates, there are more than 20,000 people killed and injured! There are more than 100,000 people who are still missing." Ho. I have ordered Shizuoka Prefecture to start resettling those people imdiately. But, the big question now is, is the German shelling of Shizuoka an exception or will it continue? If the Germans will continue to attack our other The city, what should we do then?" Okuma Shigenobu said.

"We can't let the Germans go on like that! All the key cities of the empire are in the coastal areas. If the Germans are allowed to bombard our coastal cities, it will cause a devastating blow to the empire!" Reijiro Wakatsuki Said.

   "It's already at this ti, why hasn't the navy co out to fight? Only the navy can deal with the German fleet! If the navy can defeat the German fleet in one fell swoop, then our coast will be truly safe." Okashinosuke clamored again.

  General Yatsushiro Rokuro's complexion beca very ugly. He had known for a long ti that the guys in the army would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. However, the current situation is too difficult for the navy of the island country. No one thought that the Germans would take such a way to force them. If it is only attacking their rchant ships and fishing boats, then the navy can continue to hold on. But when the Germans started attacking their coastal cities, they had no more excuses.

   After all, the navy was built by the people tightening their belts. If they continue to preserve their strength at such a critical juncture, it will undoubtedly make the people completely angry. At that ti, the navy will not have to fight the Germans, it will be directly overwheld by the anger of the people.

"Everyone, the Germans have only one purpose in doing this, and that is to force the Imperial Navy to fight them. If everyone thinks that the Imperial Navy should fight the Germans, we can send the combined fleet to fight the Germans to the death! However, what I want to tell you is that so far, we have not been sure of defeating the Germans. In other words, if the United Fleet goes to sea to fight the Germans, we will have a very high possibility of losing!" Yashiro General Liu Lang said.

  These senior officials of the island's cabinet are naturally not fools. They can also easily guess the intentions of the Germans. However, at this ti, if the navy has not yet fought, how can they explain to the people! Of course, the people of the island country are easy to fool, but the more so, once the anger of the people erupts, it will be even more terrifying. At that ti, their ruling class will probably be overthrown.

   "Hmph! Is this how the navy fights? Before fighting the Germans, they already expected to lose. If this is the case, do you still have the confidence to continue fighting?" Okaichinosuke said disdainfully.
