With the continuous development of labor dispatch, the wave of unemployment has been effectively curbed, social security has gradually improved, and the situation in the European continent has gradually stabilized.

The facts proved once again: if the problem cannot be solved, the same will be true for those who create problems.

Everything is developing in a positive direction, and except for ambitious people, all sectors of society are very satisfied with this result.

Only the Japanese were not satisfied. The situation in Europe stabilized, breaking all their fantasies. It was expected that the Spanish explosion would become a bubble.

Not only did Spain not explode, but there were signs of explosions in Japan.

The "Misao Movement" has spread from Tokyo to the whole country, and millions of people have participated in this "Rice-grabbing" campaign.

Although the Japanese government decisively sent troops to suppress the situation and controlled the situation, blood cannot stop hunger.

As long as the belly problem of the people cannot be solved, the "Misao Sports" will not be able to really stop.

It’s not that the Japanese government has made efforts for this, but the problem is that the economic blockade of the continental Union has really begun. The Spaniards pretend to be powerful and arrested "Tongji merchant ships" everywhere under the banner of the alliance.

In order to deter capitalists, the Spaniards even created a blacklist for reporting enemies. No matter which country's merchant ship is, as long as it is confirmed

This is not a momentary aura, but it is really recorded in the notebook. If you can't meet it, just wait to go to the newspaper!

The mystery of the sea storm, pirates, and the disappearance of the sea of ​​devils can be arranged. These routines were taught as early as the battle for hegemony in the British and Western seas.

Although 300% profit can prompt capitalists to risk beheading and commit any crime; the Japanese government must also afford 300% profit.

It would be fine if other supplies were made, but grain was a commodity. If you really gave 300% of the profit, even if the grain was transported in, the Japanese people would not be able to afford it!

In this context, continuing to delay time is obviously not a good choice. Especially as the final withdrawal time given by the Continental Union is getting closer, Hirobuki Ito is under even greater pressure.

The bottom line has always been used to break through.

At the beginning, the Tokyo government wanted to leave a few small islands in the Nanyang area, so it would be a waste of time to go south.

Later I found out that it was not possible, and the hatred of Japan and West became enormous. Even if a few small islands were left, once the main force of the Japanese army withdrew, I would not be able to maintain it.

The cedes land cannot be done, and the Japanese government has set its goal to claim compensation, namely: redemption fee.

Unfortunately, the Spanish are so poor that they can't expect them to lend money to the Japanese as redemption fee, right?

Even if the Madrid government is willing to compromise, the Vienna government, as the funder behind the scenes, is unwilling to lend the money.

The bottom line is only a difference between once and countless times. As long as you break through the first time, you can continue to break through later.

Now, Hirofumi Ito no longer wants to ask for compensation. As long as the Spaniards don’t make trouble, they can transport the plundered wealth back smoothly.

The Philippine Islands are a prosperous place. The wealth plundered by the Japanese army on the island may not be able to fill the cost of war, but there is still hope to fill half of the holes.

I can't guarantee anything else that at least the domestic food crisis can be safely overcome. As for what the people on the island eat after plundering it, it is not within their consideration.

The more critical the moment comes, the more gunpowder smells on the negotiating table. Every concession is accompanied by a large loss of interests, which is something that neither Japan nor West wants to accept.

As for the countries involved in the mediation, although they each expressed their positions, they all wanted to save face. It would be fine if the mediators had a tendency. If they went straight to participate in the fight, they would be inferior.

The Japanese-Spanish War involved not many interests in various countries, and helping Spain was more due to political needs. It was impossible for everyone to do their best.

You get what you pay for. The benefits that Spain can bring is only enough for everyone to help you shake the flag and shout.

The fact that Japan can force Japan to give up the Philippine Islands is the result of the Vienna government's mediation. If you want to gain more benefits, Spain can only fight for it.

Britain's attitude is similar. Just keep Japan, the nominal brother, from being killed. As for other details, it has nothing to do with the London government.

In a sense, Britain is already very interesting to be able to do this.

The British government led Japan south to relieve the pressure on the French. The Austrians, which they had to deal with, did not allow the Japanese to invade the Philippines.

Although the British government acknowledged this result after the established facts were created. But taking self-righteously is taking self-righteously. Although the British didn't say anything, they definitely felt dissatisfied.

In a sense, the Japanese government's self-defeating also disrupted Britain's strategic deployment.

If the Japanese army had not advanced southward to invade the Philippines, Spain would not have made up its mind to join the anti-French alliance; without Spain's joining, the four-sided siege strategy of the anti-French alliance would not have been successful.

Without gathering strategic trends, Napoleon IV would not be desperate, nor would he rush to turn the blame and run away.

If Napoleon IV did not run away, France would not surrender so quickly.

If the French choose to fight to the end, even if they cannot turn the tables, they can still be delayed for a year or two.

A year and a half seemed not long, but it could do a lot of things. If the French had not surrendered too quickly, the British government would not have fallen into a passive position after the war.

Although such inferences are somewhat ideal, some people still can't help but think so. At least, there are no few similar reports in London newspapers.

...

Hirofumi Ito said seriously: "If your country continues to attack our fleet, then we will not be able to ensure that the handover work is carried out in an orderly manner, and all the consequences will be borne by your country."

Showdown.

The Japanese government's biggest bargaining chip now is: the Japanese army occupied most of the Philippine Islands.

If Spain wants to obtain a relatively complete Philippines, the cooperation of the Japanese is indispensable.

Destruction is always easier than construction. If the Japanese army is allowed to play its role, Spain will be white even if it regains the Philippine Islands.

Putting aside infrastructure, the hundreds of thousands of Hispanic hostages in the Japanese army alone are enough to make the Spanish government be afraid of it.

When European countries were watching, the Japanese naturally did not dare to play massacre directly. Not daring to take action does not mean that they could not attack.

The power of the Continental Union can suppress the Japanese, but it cannot scare the indigenous tribes that have lived in the jungle for many years.

The ignorant is fearless. As long as the Japanese provoke and fool, they can use the hands of the natives to play the massacre.

As long as you are cleaner and take yourself out of the massacre, the Japanese government can escape unscathed.

To put it bluntly, it is the Continental Union that is unwilling to launch a war for the interests of Spain, which is not in everyone's interests. As long as the face is acceptable, no one will investigate it in depth.

There is another deep reason why this cannot be investigated, that is: when it comes to colonial issues, the hands and feet of all countries are not very clean.

No matter whether the dead are indigenous or Hispanic, there is no essential difference between European countries.

Given the current situation in Spain, it is obviously impossible to withstand such troubles. If more than two hundred years of painstaking management is ruined, it will be very difficult to restore the rule of the Philippine Islands.

Once the indigenous people are full of Hispanic blood, there is no room for ease. Even if it is just to give the people an explanation, the Spanish government must retaliate.

As you continue to kill back and forth, the Philippine Islands, which could contribute millions of Syrian income to the Spanish government every year, became a heavy economic burden.

Not only the government's finances cannot stand it, but also the Spanish nobles who have been cut off their financial paths.

Of course, if a massacre really happens, the Japanese government will not be able to do it well.

Not only will they become a deadly enemy with Spain, but even the international image that has just improved will be destroyed. The infamous reputation of "brutality" and "barbarism" will make them "spend their lives alone" politically.

Including the current boss Britain, he will abandon them without hesitation. No country in the European world will interact with them, at least in a short period of time.

In a sense, this is another big gamble. Hirofumi Ito bets on the future national destiny of the two countries, betting that the Spanish government will make concessions.

"This is impossible!"

"There has never been a reason why robbers robbed things in their own homes and their masters cannot stop them. Now every ship of cargo transported by your country is our wealth.

As a sovereign state, the great Spain will never tolerate national sovereignty being so trampled upon, and we will not accept this threat.

Similarly, justices around the world will not tolerate this happening."

It can be seen from Federico's slightly trembling voice that his heart was not calm at this moment.

The Japanese government is crazy and dares to gamble; but the Spanish government is very normal, and it is impossible for the domestic government to take such a big risk.

At least nobility and capitalists, as vested interests, would not allow such things to happen.

Federico, who was not confident enough, could only continue to pull the tiger skin of the continental alliance. He hoped to interfere with the alliance countries and eliminate the possibility of the Japanese taking risks.

"Your Excellency has misunderstood. I am just stating the facts and there is no intention of threatening.

Our troops are limited, and we must not only prevent your country's sneak attacks, but also divide our troops to maintain the security of the island. It is really not as powerful as possible.

Especially your country's navy continues to attack our merchant ships, causing prices on the island to soar and social order is collapsing.

As for plundering your country's wealth, it is completely nonsense. We just transport our luggage and supplies, but we do not touch a single penny of your country.

Your country's attacks have seriously affected the evacuation progress of our army and the peace and stability of the world.

For the safety of the people on the island, for the traditional friendship between the two countries, and for the early removal of misunderstandings. I will remind you for humanitarian reasons.”

Hirobuki Ito, who has entered the state, is obviously not an easy-to-dealer. He used sophistry to completely remove the responsibilities of the Japanese government.

As he said, the war of aggression determined by the international community turned into an understatement of misunderstanding; the blatant plunder of wealth became a response to the withdrawal of the continental Union; the naked threat could all turn into the friendship between the two countries.

I guess normal people can't afford such a friendship. However, Hirobuki Ito still spoke without changing his expression.

British representative Klaus: "We were able to sit here today to solve the problem. The core of the Philippine War is actually the ownership of the Philippine Islands.

Now that the issue of the ownership of the archipelago has been reached, the remaining controversial issues are just small matters in details.

In order to better advance the negotiation process and avoid another conflict, I suggest that both sides sign a comprehensive ceasefire agreement first.”

It has to be admitted that the charm of the pound is great. Even as the consul of Britain, Klaus still broke his waist for "five hundred thousand dou of rice".

Thick-skinned does not mean that it can solve the problem. Aggressive sophistry can certainly gain the upper hand in debate, but this is not a debate contest.

While suppressing the momentum of Spanish representatives, Hirofumi Ito also aroused dissatisfaction among representatives of European countries.

If a massacre really happens, we will turn a blind eye, but you can't say it out loud. Even if it's just a hint, we don't want to save face!

"There are only interests among countries" and it is not necessarily correct. The government that dominates the country is composed of people, and people are not only rational but also emotional.
