There was already a carnival atmosphere in the temporarily established war headquarters.

A dozen or so temporarily invited waitresses were walking around carrying wine trays, smiling brightly.

Many officers, staff officers, and counselors in suits were participating in the reception, and the atmosphere was very lively.

There was a lot of noise mixed together, including cheers, shouts, and people with tears in their eyes shouting "long live the emperor"...

Several long tables that were usually used to place maps, telegraph machines, and documents had been vacated and covered with expensive tablecloths with tassels, covering up their original old and clumsy appearance.

On these long tables, there are various kinds of alcoholic drinks, including rum, whiskey, and red wine, but the most popular one is Midai Sake produced in the 21st year of Akechi.

This wine has good taste and low price, making it one of the most popular wines among middle-class people.

However, the dishes on the long table used to accompany the wine were clearly shabby. Placed in the center like stars holding the moon, there was only a plate of sea bream sashimi, and even seaweed rice balls, natto and miso.

The soups were all served together to make up the numbers.

Among the appetizers, there is a small bowl of kombu mixed with vinegar. The most eye-catching thing is a large plate with a large amount of salted plums and several dishes of sugar next to it.

From time to time, an officer walked over, picked up a plum, dipped it in sugar and put it in his mouth, with a look of excitement on his face as he was eating something delicious.

Such a buffet is something that the entire headquarters tried their best to put together.

Yes, this is Japan at this time, a Japan that has been dragged to almost the end of the road by the war, a Japan that has been hit by continuous bad news and is almost desperate!

Especially after learning that the United Fleet was also sneak-attacked by the Beiyang Fleet and sank two warships, even Japanese newspapers began to cry out in despair, "Where is the Kamikaze?"

Because once Japan loses control of the sea, it means that the six regiments sent to North Korea will become a lonely army and will soon run out of food. Well, even if food can be obtained by squeezing North Korea, what about arms supplies!

This is supplies for tens of thousands of people. A medium-sized battle requires dozens of tons of ammunition!

But at this moment, Amaterasu really appeared, and the central government of the Qing Dynasty actually sued for peace. The Qing Dynasty actually planned to find a neutral country to mediate and prepare to surrender!

Several officers, probably because they were drunk, rushed directly to the balcony outside, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and then screamed at the sky in the distance with tears streaming down their faces.

:

"Japan will finally be revived! The Japanese sun flag will fly throughout Asia! Your Excellency Sakamoto Ryoma (assassinated in 1867) and His Excellency Okubo Toshimichi! Are you protecting Japan after becoming gods?"

"The pinnacle of Asia finally reveals its steps to the empire at this moment!"

(Note: Sakamoto Ryoma and Okubo Toshimichi were both powerful promoters of the Meiji Restoration, and both died at the hands of assassins. They were the founders of capitalist Japan, similar to the status of China's Sun Yat-sen in history.
