Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Yamada Shinzo looked at the two people arguing. He frowned and slapped the table in front of him hard.

Seeing Yamada Shinzo's anger, Sakata Mio and Shimazu Koki immediately shut up and did not dare to say another word.

Yamada Shinzo glanced at the two people and couldn't help feeling bored.

There is no peace within the Sakura Empire. The conflict between the army and the navy is so great that it can be said that it has reached the point of being irreconcilable.

As long as both parties are involved in anything, there will inevitably be a quarrel before things can be discussed normally.

This is because when the Sakura Empire was implementing reforms, some enlightened daimyo formed a reform faction in order to defeat the conservative forces. The main members of the reformist faction were the Choshu Domain and the Satsuma Domain.

Because the Satsuma Domain was close to the coastal area, it took the lead in contacting Western countries, allowing them to see the excellence of Western countries. It was suggested that the Sakura Empire should develop industry, improve its strength, and catch up with Western countries.

However, the Choshu Domain, which had a hot temper and had no contact with Western countries, felt that a new army should be formed to resist Western countries with force.

In order to achieve their own goals, or to control the absolute power of Sakura Country, both sides broke out an armed conflict in Kyoto after defeating the conservative forces.

The Satsuma Domain, which had mastered advanced Western weapons, won this conflict and defeated the Choshu Domain.

After the Satsuma Domain came to power, they determined the direction of the Sakura Empire and put the Sakura Empire on the road to becoming an industrial power. However, it also forged a bloody feud with the Choshu Domain.

Since then, both sides have despised each other and will lash out at each other whenever they get the chance.

"I don't care what conflicts there are between you, but this is a cabinet meeting! I hope both of you can exercise restraint!"

"Today we are here to solve problems, not to create them!" Yamada Shinzo looked at both sides and said coldly.

Yamada Shinzo has been in charge of the government for many years and led the Sakura Empire to defeat the superior Xia Empire at a disadvantage. If he is in the Sakura Empire, he has absolute authority.

Even Sakata Mio and Shimazu Koki did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of him.

"Hi!" Sakata Mio and Shimazu Koki responded at the same time, then glanced at each other before sitting back in their seats.

"Now let's talk about how we should face the challenges of Daxia and the Rakshasa Kingdom. Sakata-kun, you tell me first!" Yamada Shinzo looked at Sakata Mitsuo and said.

"Hi!" Sakata Sanwei stood up immediately, responded to Yamada Shinzo, and then said: "I also read Takeda Hiroyuki's telegram. The troops he sent to Tongliao to test only had one regiment and one brigade. Goryeo soldiers.”

"The Prime Minister must also know how powerful the Koreans are in combat. They are just a bunch of cannon fodder."

"So, in Tongliao, the actual force ratio is that only one of our regiments faces Daxia's [-] people. With such a disparity in force ratio, it is normal for us to fail."

"As for the situation of the navy on Yizhou Island, I don't know, but in Yizhou City, our Sakura Empire has no troops stationed. The two brigades on Yizhou Island are suppressing the rebellion in the Yizhou Mountains."

"That is to say, when it comes to Yizhou Island, what the Daxia Empire faces is just an empty city."

Koki Shimazu who was on the side heard that Sakata Mio passed the responsibility of Yizhou Island to the navy, and he was immediately unhappy. He was about to argue something, but as soon as he stood up, Yamada Shinzo glanced at him and sat back down again.

Seeing Shimazu Koki's defeat, Sakata Mio showed a faint sneer on his face.

Seeing Yamada Shinzo turn his attention to him again, he immediately showed a trace of seriousness again.

"Sakata-kun, now is not the time to hold people accountable. I am asking you how to remedy the situation." Yamada Shinzo said slowly.

"Sir, I thought we didn't need to be alarmed. Three years ago we were able to defeat Daxia, which was stronger than us, and we can still do it now. And our main enemy now is the Rakshasa Empire."

"Now the Rakshasa Empire has been divided into two parts by us. In the north, we have driven the Rakshasa Empire into Mo Province, and the warriors of the empire are still in an offensive posture. I think it won't take long to defeat the Rakshasa Empire army in the north. wipe out."

"And in the south, the warriors of our empire have also forced the remaining forces of the Rakshasa Empire to the Liaozhou Peninsula. In another half a month, the remaining forces of the Rakshasa Empire can be completely wiped out."

"When the time comes, we can turn around and fight back against Daxia. By that time, our army will have a great victory and will surely defeat Daxia again."

"As long as we can defeat Daxia outside the pass, the threat from Yizhou Island will be lifted. We can even use the excuse of a truce to completely control the four voices outside the pass in the hands of the empire."

Sakata Mio looked at Yamada Shinzo and talked eloquently.

When Shinzo Yamada heard Sakata Mio's words, he just nodded without saying anything more, but turned his head to Shimazu Koki.

"Shimazu-kun, where is your navy?"

"Please rest assured, our Imperial Navy is also confident that it can defeat the Daxia people's attack."

"Although I don't know where the Daxia people obtained their new warships, naval warfare does not rely solely on the advancement of the warships."

"We were able to defeat the Daxia fleet, which has the best fleet in the East, and we can do the same now. But I also think that we should focus on the Rakshasa Empire at this time."

"Their combined fleet is a great threat to us. As long as we defeat them, we will have enough time to slowly play with the Daxia people."

"However, I want to say one thing. What the Daxia people defeated on Yizhou Island was not the main battleship of the Imperial Navy, but only three small gunboats. Those kind of battleships are already obsolete by the Imperial Navy."

"Compared with the losses of the Imperial Navy, I am more worried about the loss of Yizhou City by my army colleagues. You know, Yizhou City was built by the Empire at a huge cost."

"But now, Yizhou City, which was built with a lot of money, has been reduced to ruins. Someone needs to take responsibility for this." As he said that, Shimazu Koki intentionally or unintentionally turned his attention to Sakata Mio on the side.

Sensing Shimazu Koki's provocative gaze, Sakata Mitsuo was about to refute when he heard Yamada Shinzo on the side say: "Since both of you feel that the empire should be the first to defeat the Rakshasa Empire, then let's do it according to this."

"Sakata-kun, I hope your army can increase its offensive efforts and strive to defeat the Rakshasa Empire as soon as possible and allow them to completely withdraw from Daxia."

"Shimazu-kun, your navy also needs to seek opportunities for a decisive battle with the Rakshasa Empire as soon as possible. It is necessary to defeat the Rakshasa Empire's combined fleet as soon as possible."

"After the Rakshasa Empire is solved, the empire can concentrate its full strength to attack Daxia!"

"You must also know the importance of Daxia to the empire. This is the most important link in the rise of the empire. You must not lose it!"

"Hi! Please rest assured, Prime Minister, our Imperial Army (Navy) will do its best to defeat the enemy! The Empire's military fortune is prosperous! His Majesty Tianhuang, on board!"
