"Let's increase it by nine million. A twelve-inch naval gun costs 812,000 yen!"

Yashiro Rokuro is still fighting for it without giving up. For the Navy who is used to being rich, it is really uncomfortable to be suddenly stuck in the neck. As the Prime Minister of the Navy, he must try his best to obtain military spending for the Navy. This aspect is of course

In order to consolidate his position as the Prime Minister in the Navy, and on the other hand, it is also for the sake of the Navy. For the Navy, even one million more is good.

Faced with Yashiro Rokuro's request, Okaichi Nosuke remained silent. The Army did not intend to suppress the Navy too much. There may be various conflicts between the Army and the Navy, but if the Army uses this opportunity to suppress the Navy with all its strength, it will inevitably cause a backlash from the Navy.

, if the Minister of the Navy resigns, the cabinet will also fall, and he, the Minister of War, will also step down, so the suppression must be controlled within a reasonable range.

"Six million! You send the entire First Fleet, and when providing fire support, please be sure to cooperate with the army!"

Okaichi Nosuke put forward a condition. The army encountered trouble in Qingdao. At this time, it urgently needed the full assistance of the navy and increased military expenditures by several million in exchange for the navy sending the real main force to Qingdao. With the artillery cooperation of the navy's main fleet, Qingdao

It can be conquered very quickly, and more importantly, a few million more military expenditures can be compensated by letting the navy shoot some artillery shells in Qingdao. The less artillery shells the army shoots and the less pensions paid may be worth hundreds.

All in all.

"Eight million! A 12-inch shell costs 700 yen!"

Yashiro Rokuro was debating bitterly, and when Okaichi Nosuke heard this number, he pretended to ponder, and then nodded his head heavily.

"Then...well, no problem, I will discuss this matter with General Hase in person!"

"Marshal Navy has agreed to dispatch the First Fleet!"

In the living room of Marshal Aritomo in Yama Prefecture, General Hasegawa Yomichi, Chief of Staff of the Army Staff Headquarters, looked at the silent Marshal and said.

"Um!"

Nodding, Shanxian Youpeng's face showed no emotion.

"Most people in the navy take the overall situation into consideration!"

Although he has always been biased against the navy, Yamagata Aritomo also knows that as an island country, Japan cannot do without the navy. Japan must have a strong navy, otherwise even if it has a strong navy

The army is nothing more than an army trapped in the Japanese archipelago.

"But the Navy is requesting an increase of eight million yuan in military spending!"

"Eight million is too little. If we increase it by 16 million, I believe the Navy will be satisfied by then!"

There is a generous Liudao in Shanxian County. The difference between eight million and sixteen million is not big. There is no need for the Army to have a grudge against the Navy over the issue of several million yuan of funds. Therefore, at this time, although the navy is using

In order to retaliate for what he had done before, he could naturally use several million more military expenditures to pay off the navy.

"Yes Marshal!"

Hasegawa Yomichi, who was kneeling on the tatami, put his hands on his knees and responded.

"Has the plan been made?"

"Yes, Marshal, we believe that to a certain extent, it is not the China Army that is supporting the defense of Jiao'ao now. At least to a certain extent, Yuan Shikai has no intention to confront the empire, but the local Chinese army and local ambitions.

It was launched by people in order to expand their territory and influence, so we believe that if we want to successfully resolve the Jiao'ao Incident, we should take a drastic approach when necessary, so that it may be possible to end the Jiao'ao Incident in a short time!"

"Taking the fire under the cauldron?"

With a slight frown on his brow, You Peng from Shanxian County said as if he was admonishing or talking to himself.
