The earthquake triggered a tsunami, which not only caused heavy losses to ships near the Tokyo port, but the port itself also turned into a mess. No one in civilian facilities existed. But as long as there were naval places, there would be taverns and Ji Nu, and even disasters would not stop the navy from having fun. As soon as the earthquake ended, a brave and related person temporarily set up several broken houses to provide wine and Ji Nu Service. Just under the dim and swaying Gas lamp, drinking clumsy rice wine, several blushing naval officers shook the wine bottle and cursed.

"Kato Tomosaburo is so weak! Shameless rebellion, for personal desires, sells the interests of the navy. We cannot obey such a decision! Such a maritime minister will shame the navy of the entire empire. We will never admit that such a person is our naval minister!"

In the port, such drunks appear every day. After the Siemens scandal, the number of such drunks has increased. Even if the earthquake is earthquake, it does not reduce the number of drunks.

The boss of the Izakaya is no longer surprised by this. As long as he is willing to pay the bill, he will not report it to the security team. But what he doesn't know is that the situation this time is different from the past. These drunkards are not simply verbal verbals. They are restless, dissatisfied and impulsive, and are pushing the situation to the brink of danger.

Tomosaburo Kato believed that the solution that had won the best interests for the navy was actually not accepted by the parties involved. Because he was from the official clan, he could not represent the interests of the Satsuma clan and could not restrict the actions of the fleet clan. The decision to retreat without authorization made the Satsuma naval generals very dissatisfied, and even blamed him for the failure of the struggle with the army.

This kind of shirk is obviously unfair. In terms of strength, the army has far more troops than the navy, and after being supported by the Duke of Nishizoji, the navy's support has lost its chance of success. However, if the navy's bosses do not shirk responsibility, they have to admit their mistakes themselves, which cannot be accepted by the vassals.

The shirking behavior of senior leaders can be regarded as a common method of snatching the blame in struggle. However, when the superiors act on ordinary generals, the soldiers and officers at the bottom cannot understand the mystery. They only see that their interests are lost and their troops are ridden by the enemy.

The angryness of the grassroots soldiers reached their limits, and their behavior was no longer restricted by common sense. A raging fire had already emerged, but no one cared about it. The flames and black smoke in the city of Tokyo, the gunshots and screams at night made people focus more on the city, rather than these soldiers.

"The army threatened public security and kidnapped citizens to trade with the official government. This behavior cannot be forgiven!"

In an inconspicuous villa, someone shouted sternly. "Masayoshi Kato's behavior is to return to China to seek rebellion. If he is sent to the reserve service, how can the navy be faced? The army continues to expand, and the navy's funds are repeatedly exploited. If we cannot do anything, we will be suppressed by the army forever and will have no chance to turn over. Everyone cannot wait for death. They must react to let the army realize that the navy's dignity cannot be trampled on at will, and we also have our own bottom line!"

A cold voice sounded, "I have read that plan. According to Kato's report, which plan comes from Shandong?"

"Garbage and poison also have their value. The plan formulated in that plan is not for a specific country, but for a certain situation, for positive change. Some of the contents are highly similar to our current situation. Now we are at a crossroads. If we don't do anything, the royal kingdom will become a world of the army in the future, and the navy will definitely become an affiliate of the army. Give the army enough lessons to let them realize the power of the navy, and then they can move towards the right battlefield and not go further and further on the wrong road. In this way, we can truly fulfill our loyalty to the country!"

"The chaebols will not support large-scale chaos in the country. They will interfere with economic means. Without financial support, it will be difficult for us to maintain it for a long time. The Senate is also more inclined to the army. They support Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-Mikasa-

"So, we must obtain the greatest results in the shortest time. Our goal is not to destroy the army, but to declare our own strength so that the army cannot act rashly against the navy. This goal is not difficult to achieve. Moreover, the strength of the army is not a monolithic piece, and can also be turned into one's own use."

Another old voice suddenly rang

"Yama Prefecture's Amateur has always suppressed our navy, including the Siemens incident, which was also his behind-the-scenes guidance. This time, if the Highness Takamatsu Palace cannot ascend the throne, Yama Prefecture's status will be even more unshakable. Keigo Chiangura's transcendent cabinet can only be regarded as a puppet in the hands of the Changzhou Valve. Should our imperial navy accept the mercy of such villains? Tomosaburo Kato is a coward. His concession is just the beginning. In the future, we will further reduce our budget, reject our shipbuilding request, and use precious funds to use the useless army.

The direction of the country's development will also change from the ocean to the land. This is an intolerable mistake and an irresponsible to the empire. Our interests are always on the sea, just like the Albion people, to conquer the sea and conquer the world near. This is something that stupid army cannot see! Although the number of army is above our army, it does not mean there is no flaw. The existence of friends in the mountain county blocks the way of many people, especially young people, and loses the space for ascending. Even in the army, there are many people who don't like him. It is time to clear him and cut off this cancer for the empire!"

The action aimed at Yama County Youpeng made the participants' spirits become highly nervous. At present, taking action against this important minister of the Reformation is actually the same as conspiring to rebel. If the incident is exposed, everyone present will probably be unable to escape death, right?

However, the existence of Shan County is indeed annoying. This old man has lived a little too long. Can't he die early and give way to future generations? Even during the reform process, the blood feud between Changshu and the two sides is far from being resolved. If the Shan County can be resolved without involving himself, most of the officers present will not have any objections.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

"There is not only a plan for creating change on Kato's ship. Those Dalimaru and money are valuable resources. If the resources are used in the right places, they can reverse the overall situation. The three factions of the Prosecution of the Three Sects were seriously dissatisfied with Qingpu. They also did not agree with the arbitrary nature of Yama Prefecture. The political community was suppressed by Yama Prefecture and almost failed to form a military force, and they also wanted to find an opportunity to counterattack. The chaos in Tokyo this time was behind the shadow of the Mitsui Consortium. In the army, there were also young and strong officers who were not satisfied with the control of the command level of the Changzhou clan."

The speaker sneered a few times, "The most interesting thing about this plan is that... the army is always evil."

A cold voice sounded again, but this time the tone became much more humble. Obviously, the old man's identity was far above that.

"Your Excellency, I can understand what you mean, but... can this method really fool the enemy?"

"Because of the indulgence of the army, Tokyo has become a hell on earth, and there are many people who want to give them a little color. From a higher level, the economic depression and the failure of foreign wars have made domestic dissatisfaction increasingly high. In this Tokyo disaster, most of the thugs who launched the attack were such dissatisfaction elements. As long as they can arouse their emotions, everything will come naturally. Of course, to achieve this lofty goal, a group of patriots will need to sacrifice. Next, I think we need a group of young officers and soldiers with enough sacrifice to realize this great plan. The royal country will prosper and destroy this court food in one fell swoop!"

The riots in Tokyo are still continuing. The army's previous excessive indulgence has led to the growth of urban violent groups too quickly, and it is not so easy to end it. The troops are too deeply involved in the interests of the eleventh corps and are always polite when carrying out the suppression mission. Although order has been restored to major areas such as Nagata Town, Tokyo, etc., has been restored, but robbery, attack, and riots are still continuing in further places.

The office building of the Navy headquarters also collapsed in the earthquake, and Tomosaburo Kato's office was located in a temporary office. The entire Navy headquarters was not friendly to him because he was not from the Satsuma clan. He had no confidants in the Navy headquarters, which is known as the private territory of Satsuma.

The handling of Kato's fleet made his colleagues even see him as a traitor and coward, calling him a politician in naval uniform. From top to bottom, few people had a good face to the Navy Minister.

Tomosaburo Kato was not too concerned about this. His goal was not to please Satsuma vassals from the beginning, but to help Fusan get rid of the crisis as soon as possible.

The battle in Shandong consumed the empire's precious funds, but was defeated for various reasons. The subsequent earthquake pushed the economy to the brink of collapse. The domestic dissatisfaction was high, and the social opposition to the integrity of the vassal ranks and the promotion of common governance by the monarch and the people was gradually rising. If a solution was not found as soon as possible, an unexpected disaster would occur.

He did not agree with the use of force against China, and he also scoffed at the twenty-one articles that the Dawei Cabinet tried to sign with China. Even if Yuan signed this treaty, it would not be possible to continue. To conquer such a large country, what is needed is flexible means, not violence.

During this period, he has initially compiled a plan, including further reducing naval military expenditures, using this part of the expenditure to restore people's livelihood, restore infrastructure construction, and stabilize people's hearts. The next step is to restore the imperial economy in the shortest time. At the same time, he takes advantage of the opportunity of the Thai-Si War to expand Fuso's interests in China, but the means are destined to be negotiate rather than cannons...

Just as he was thinking about this series of questions, the attendant suddenly reported that "Master Nagata is going to meet you."

Nagata was one of the officers transferred to the reserve service this time. Although he was a minor, he had the military achievements of manipulating artillery to sink a Tielle warship in the Battle of Tsushima. He was called a hero in the navy. Kato knew his sudden visit and was mostly protesting to himself, believing that he should not be transferred to the reserve service.

A stupid person. If he hadn't been dealt with in this way, he might have been standing in the military court now. Kato shook his head, "I have nothing to say with him, let him leave..."

Before he finished speaking, a strong soldier squeezed away the attendant and rushed into the office directly. He was extremely excited, and his forehead burst out with blue veins, and he shouted with an almost roaring attitude: "This is not fair! I have made merits for the country in the Battle of Ma Hai, and I have shed blood for His Majesty the Emperor, and no one has the right to treat me like this! I just executed the military order, what's wrong with this? As the Minister of the Navy, don't you feel ashamed of the army to this extent?"

Kato sighed helplessly, "Master Nagata, your disposal is based on the joint resolution of the military headquarters, not the opinion of someone. If you are dissatisfied with the result of this processing, you can appeal to your superior and apply for a review. Okay, I still have something to do, please leave."

Nagata was obviously not satisfied with this bureaucratic answer, but instead took a step forward. "Your Excellency, what do you mean is that you are not going to revoke the adverse ruling against the Navy and still surrender to the Army?"

"I have said what I want to say. Now, it's time for you to leave. Go and call the guards and send him away."

Kato waved his hand and signaled his servant to drive the person out. He could not explain the truth to a furious low-level officer, and his own commander could only take the responsibility for the explanation. Because he was in the Admiralty, this theoretically absolutely safe environment made Kato ignore many important details.

For example, Nagata's excessively excited mental state, his hands and feet are dancing from time to time, and the abnormal sweat beads on his forehead. These were originally important details, but they were all ignored. Just when several guards tried to take Nagata out of the Navy building, a sudden change occurred.

Major Nagata suddenly burst out with a strange force that was incomparable to ordinary people, and heaved the two guards. Then he drew out a pistol, pointed it at Tomosaburo Kato, and pulled the trigger, shouting: "Heavenly punishes the traitors! Swear to defend His Majesty the Emperor to the death!"

Three bullets hit Kato Tomosaburo's body. Although the guards who flocked in quickly subdued Nagata, Kato himself was also dying. This assassination was considered to be an act of instructing senior officials of the Admiralty. The reason was that Nagata's pistol could be brought into the office site and the journey was unobstructed. It was obvious that someone was letting the water go.

Due to the serious injury of the maritime minister, he was unable to be in charge of the board for a short period of time. The cabinet that had just been formed fell into a pause again. Qingpu, known as the Prime Minister of Eel, could only contact other people to serve as cabinet members. Regarding the attack by the Admiralty, the general view is that Kato Tomosaburo's non-sectarian status and the radical measures taken by the Shanghai Army during this period. In the future, as long as security defense is strengthened, it will be enough to prevent similar problems.

However, they soon discovered that they were very wrong this time. Kato Tomosaburo's assassination was only the beginning. In a short period of time, three senior officials of the Navy were assassinated one after another. Immediately afterwards, the assassination wind blew into the financial world, and two Fuso bankers were unfortunately shot and killed. Just as the police department was in a hurry to investigate the connection between the murderers, the most terrible attack occurred.

Speaker of Fusang, the highest-ranking and strongest elder among the nine elders of the Reformation, Yama County Akito, was attacked on his way back to his official residence from the parliament. The subsequent military police team rushed to kill the thugs. However, when reporting the situation to Yama County, the military police captain suddenly sounded the fried egg fuse, Yama County Akito died on the spot, and the political arena of Fusang was in chaos. In the investigation of the murderers, an assassination organization called the Blood Alliance came to the surface. The organization followed the principle of killing one person, aiming to kill the vassal, chaebol and power clans, and eventually returned to the emperor to achieve a society where soldiers and the emperor ruled together.

The most terrifying thing is that according to the investigation, the main members and supporters of the Blood Alliance came from the Army.
