Chapter 699: Angry from embarrassment (asking for a monthly ticket)
"Your Excellency! His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire requires the island government to immediately return the occupied imperial colonies. He also compensates the empire with 100 million marks as compensation for the losses caused by the actions of the island country. The empire rejects the island government's request to join the Allies. In addition, the imperial government advises your government not to be greedy. Those British colonies will soon belong to the empire. If your government dares to attack those British colonies, just wait for the wrath of the empire!" Jacob stood in front of Uchida Yasuya, A high-spirited look.
??Kunya Uchida's face was ashen. Even though he tried hard to control his emotions, he still felt that he couldn't do it under such circumstances. Although, he has long known that the island government's request will not work. However, I didn't expect the Germans to be so merciless. This is a complete humiliation to the island government.
?? After Jacob announced the reply from His Majesty the German Emperor and the government, he left proudly.
?? "Damn Germans, how dare you humiliate us and look down on us like this! One day, you will pay the price for this!" Uchida Koya said through gritted teeth.
??The merciless rejection of the German government and the humiliation of the island government made Uchida Yasuya almost blown away. He knew very well how those people in the country would react once such news came back to the country. After the island nation rose through two wars, the self-confidence of the island nation has become a bit bursting. At that time, they will definitely go to war against Germany regardless. Of course, Germany and the island countries are already in a state of war.
?? It's just that this time the island government's ambitions will be even greater. They will attack the British colonies. In that case, it will undoubtedly completely anger the Germans. No one knows what the consequences will be. However, Uchida Yasuya is a little worried that the Germans are too powerful. Will the island nation defeat the Germans like it defeated Russia last time? If it can win, the island country will naturally soar into the sky and become the overlord of the Far East. But if it fails, all the achievements of the island country since the Meiji Restoration may be in vain.
?? "I hope God Amaterasu can bless us and defeat the powerful enemy again!" After sighing, Uchida Yasuya sent a telegram to the country, introducing in detail the process of contact with Germany.
??Island Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato was also dumbfounded after receiving the telegram from Uchida Yasuya.
?? "Baga! Damn the Germans, they are humiliating the empire!" Kato Takaaki was furious. Although, he also thought about it afterwards, with Germany's current prestige, it is unlikely that it would agree with the island country to intervene and take away the fruits of victory that originally belonged to them. However, he believes that Germany should ignore the behavior of the island countries when it is beyond its reach in the Far East. However, now Germany rejected them without hesitation, and also warned them. This is undoubtedly an impossible humiliation for the islanders whose self-esteem is already bursting.
?? After reading the telegram, Takaaki Kato immediately rushed to the Prime Minister's Office to report to Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma.
??After Okuma Shigenobu learned of this situation, his face suddenly became very ugly.
"Kato-kun, it seems that we took everything for granted, thinking that the Germans would suffer from this dumbness. However, the attitude of the Germans was tougher than we expected! This time, we are in trouble!" Okuma Shigenobu said .
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. The Germans have clearly warned us. If we attack the British colonies again, the Germans will definitely not let us go easily. At that time, a big war will be unavoidable. " Kato Takaaki said.
??Okuma Shigenobu frowned. Although he believed that the fighting power of the island nation's army was not weak, the strength of the German army was already world-renowned. This made him somewhat uncertain. If the island army and the German army go to war, will they be able to win? If you win, naturally everything will be easy to talk about. But if it fails, the consequences may be serious. At that time, the rise of the island nation will be severely interrupted. If they want to become a world-class power, it will be like a mirror image.
?? "Call other important cabinet ministers to discuss this matter!" Okuma Shigenobu ordered.
?? "Your Excellency Prime Minister, where are the elders? I'm afraid we have to invite them too." Kato Takaaki reminded.
??Okuma Shigenobu nodded: "Everyone, go to Yamagata-sama's mansion! This meeting will be held at Yamagata-sama's place."
?? Half an hour later, the five ministers of the island's cabinet and the five elders gathered in Youpeng's study in Shan County.
?? "Kato-kun, let me introduce the situation to everyone!" Okuma Shigenobu said.
?? "Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Kato Takaaki nodded.
"My lords, the Germans have officially rejected our request to join the Allies, and they also demanded that we return their colonies, and at the same time demanded that we pay them 100 million marks in compensation. In addition, the Germans also warned us not to attack the British colonies. , Claiming that those colonies are theirs. If we dare not follow their advice, they will send troops to teach us!" Kato Takaaki said.
"idiot!"
??The heads of the governments of the island countries were filled with righteous indignation, and those with a hotter personality had already begun to curse.
"Damn the Germans, the Empire kindly helped them fight the British, and agreed to return their colonies. But they failed the goodwill of the Empire. Instead, they humiliated the Empire. This is clearly looking down on the Empire. The Empire must not let them go !" Lu Xianggang Ichinosuke cursed.
"It seems that it is impossible for us to use the opportunity of joining the Allies to seize the British colonies in the Far East. At the same time, the Germans began to pay attention to us. This is not a good thing for the empire. " Da Shanyan said.
?? "So, everyone, what should we do now?" Shanxian Youpeng's face was gloomy, and everyone knew that he was in a rage. If he hadn't suppressed his anger, it might have erupted long ago.
"We absolutely can't agree to the demands of the Germans. Since they don't allow us to join the Allies, then we can't return their colonies to them. As for compensation, don't even think about it. Even if they threaten us with war , so what? If we really fight in the Far East, the Empire still has the home court advantage, so we may not lose to them!" Oka Ichinosuke said impatiently.
