Hearing Emperor Mutsuhito certainly point out that the Lanfang Republic, which lived in a corner, was the culprit that Japan was in a difficult situation, the ministers couldn't help but feel uproar. ('Piaotianwen.com novel

"Ranfang Republic? How is it possible?" Prince Shinai Fushimi asked in disbelief: "His Majesty the Emperor, are the decision-makers of the Lanfang Republic all hysteria and are not afraid of getting angry? Are they confident of defeating the empire's army? This is incredible."

"It's a bit incredible." Hirobuki Ito interrupted: "Your Highness, the Republic of Lan Fang is only one of the culprits. It is impossible to force the empire to this point with their strength alone. However, with the support of the United States, things will be very different."

Then, Hirobuki Ito returned the Boxer Indemnity from the United States and established good relations with the Qing court. When talking about the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and the Republic of Lanfang, he not only sold arms and warships to the Republic of Lanfang, but also helped the Republic of Lanfang to train the navy and other matters. He pointed out that the United States was likely to design a joint alliance with the Republic of Lanfang to jointly deal with the Great Japanese Empire in order to check and balance the increasingly powerful Japan.

Hirobu Ito became more and more angry the more he analyzed it. At the end, he concluded, hatred concluded: "Anyway, like the British, the politicians in the United States are also very cruel, intending to make the Empire and the Republic of Lanfang both suffer losses, so they can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Alas, both the Indonesian xenophobic army and the Lanfang Republic Army are hard-to-killing hard bones. After this war, the empire's energy that had finally recovered was going to be severely damaged again."

"So that's it." Foreign Minister Sutaro Komura suddenly realized: "No wonder the empire expatriates in the United States of America have been cruelly exploited and plundered, so that in the past two months, the empire has received letters of help, not dollars. (Read and read)"

Everyone talked for a while, and Emperor Mutsuhito waved his hand to stop him and said solemnly: "Everyone, since he was trapped in the conspiracy of the enemy country, after only more than four months, the empire's economy has been overwhelmed and its strategic reserves have been consumed very much. Faced with this harsh situation, what good ways do you have to deal with it to make the empire survive this crisis?"

The King of Nishiyuanji who had been silent all the time, took the lead in suggesting: "His Majesty the Emperor, according to my opinion, the Battle of Borneo will last for a long time. And the Chinese people's movement to boycott imperial goods will continue.

The most important thing at the moment is to order General Nogi to speed up the attack at all costs, quickly destroy Indonesian xenophobic troops, occupy South Borneo, and squeeze out the best interests of the colony.

As long as a stable colonial rule is established locally and the logistics supply problem of the army is solved. Then, after some rest, General Nogi's army can continue to fight and capture the entire Borneo. Then, wait for a favorable opportunity to seize the entire Nanyang, so that those enemy countries conspiring to deal with the empire can steal chickens without losing rice."

"Yoxi" Emperor Murohito nodded in agreement, discussed with Yama Prefecture Akito and other veterans for a while, turned to Hasegawa Yodo and said, "Hassegawa, after the meeting, you will immediately generate electricity to Borneo, and give Nogi Hinomi and Kuroki Weizai the punishment of relegating and retaining the responsibility, and order them to take South Borneo at all costs at the fastest speed."

"Hayi" Hasegawa Yoshidao didn't know the specific terrain and situation of Borneo, and also felt that Nogi Hinomi was too slow to move, so he respectfully accepted the order after hearing this.

Immediately afterwards, Prime Minister Kanetaro said loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor, in order to overcome the current difficulties, I suggest issuing deficit government bonds to make up for the inflated fiscal expenditure and huge fiscal budget. At the same time, I suggest asking for help from the great powers such as Britain and France to obtain their support and tie them to our interests again."

Emperor Mutsuhito looked at Hiromori Ito, and Hiromori Ito pondered and said, "His Majesty the Emperor, according to the current situation, the empire really needs the support of foreign players."

Prince Shizuai Fushimiya frowned and asked, "Old Master Ito, the empire had a very unhappy relationship with Britain and France because of opium in food last year. Now I borrow money from them, will they lend us?"

"Haha, they are very eager to borrow money to fight our country." Hirobuki Ito smiled lightly and said: "The more chaotic Asia, the more powerful the more they can take advantage of the troubled waters and gain countless benefits in the Sino-Japanese War of 1895 and the Russo-Japanese War. The great powers all got great benefits because of borrowing money from the empire.

Now that the empire has become stronger due to two wars, they are very uneasy and can take advantage of the opportunity of the empire's passive expedition to borrow money to continue fighting.

In this way, they can not only achieve the goal of weakening the power of the empire, but also share the benefits gained after the war. Why not do such a good thing that is the best of both worlds?

Finally, the ministers put forward some suggestions on how to deal with the boycott of Japanese goods, so they bid farewell to Emperor Meiji and left to do their own business.

Soon, the Borneo Expeditionary Force Command received a telegram of rebukes and supervision from Japan.

However, after discussion, Nogi Kinomi, Kuroki Naizaki and others believed that there were still many difficulties in launching a quick attack.

First of all, the Expeditionary Force came across the sea and recently, and has lived in rainy days all day long. Many soldiers have become unacceptable to the local conditions, resulting in a significant increase in the number of non-combat personnel reductions in the Expeditionary Force.

Second, due to artificial damage and heavy rains, the road conditions in South Borneo continued to deteriorate. The front-line army was unable to maintain multiple lines and advance at the same time, and could only squeeze on several major roads, making the marching slower and slower.

Although the heavy rain has not been as dense as before and has become intermittent. However, it takes time for road maintenance, and it is very rare for the army to maintain its current speed. It is impossible to speed up the attack immediately.

Third, the logistics supply line is constantly being plagued.

The granary warehouses established along the way have too little inventory. Sometimes the warehouses are burned by small teams of the Indonesian xenophobic army, and the logistics cannot keep up, which makes the soldiers on the front line unable to have enough food and complain.

Fourth, the morale of the expeditionary army officers and soldiers on the front line was seriously insufficient.

Because when they finally saw a town and rushed in to fight against the enemy, they found that the town was empty and had been destroyed.

This makes the officers and soldiers of the Expeditionary Army not vent or receive the appropriate material supplies, thus making the morale of the Expeditionary Army even worse.

At this time, the Indonesian xenophobic army, who was resting and recuperating, must be ready to go somewhere ahead.

If the weather improves, the expeditionary army rashly accelerates its journey towards southern Borneo.

If the troops lose their connection and the vanguard troops are once again annihilated by the cunning Indonesian xenophobic army, it will cause a greater blow to the expeditionary force...
