"There will be no problem. Both Britain and France have been solved. I don't believe that the Germans dare to openly confront Britain and France, and it is for something without profit." Shigeru Moriyama cheered Hirofumi Ito.

Hirobuki Ito sighed, "You have been with me for so many years, why do you still think that things are so simple? If you can attack Britain and France, it is equivalent to strengthening your own strength. Although Germany has no colonies in Asia, and there is no direct conflict of interest with China and Japan, this does not mean that the Germans have no interest relationship with Britain and France in matters between China and Japan. Looking at things, we have to look at them from the overall perspective." Hirobuki Ito said coldly.

"Yes, what sir said." Shigeru Moriyama was so scared that he apologized quickly.

Ito Hirobuki was upset in his heart, and he didn't know what the German Emperor would have.

Emperor William I met Hirofun Ito and Shigeru Moriyama in his bedroom hall.

Even politicians with certain experience like Hiromori Ito will inevitably feel nervous when they see German Emperor William I.

William I, who was in his seventies, was energetic, had silver hair and a white beard.

"Dear Your Majesty." Hirofun Ito and Shigeru Moriyama quickly saluted the Emperor and bowed deeply.

"Please sit down." The German Emperor narrowed his eyes and did not take the two Japanese in front of him seriously.

For William I, not to mention Japan, he did not take it seriously even in China, which is more famous in Europe, because Asia seems to be too far away, and at least Germany has not intervened in Asia yet.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hirofumi Ito and Shigeru Moriyama quickly thanked and sat down.

"Is there anything you have to do with me?" William I asked straight to the point.

"Oh, we mainly come to visit His Majesty. I am Hiromori Ito, Japan's Foreign Minister. It is a great honor to meet His Majesty today. Moreover, we, Japan, want to get support from Germany in diplomacy. I believe that His Majesty should know that Japan and China are fighting now. I hope His Majesty can support us diplomatically. Also, don't sell arms to China. We Japan will order warships from Germany in the future." Hiromori Ito wrote a blank check. In fact, he gave all his money to Britain and France, so he still has the strength to order warships from Germany.

"You are very direct. If you small countries like you want to give some benefits, they will be very annoying to ask for it insatiable." William I said contemptuously. "I have seen many countries like you."

"Dear Your Majesty, our Japanese country is indeed a small country, but Japan and Germany have always had a good relationship. Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has admired Germany very much. When visiting Germany and amending the constitution, it basically refers to Germany." Hiroshi Ito said in a charming manner: "Japan's development will only benefit and not harm Germany's expansion of its power in Asia. If China becomes strong, Asia will have no room for European powers to speak."

After Hirobuki Ito finished speaking, he took out the red envelope that had been prepared.

William I was amused. There were many people giving gifts to him, but there were very few people as direct as Hirobuki Ito, and the gifts were so natural, as if they were very familiar with him.

"What are you doing? Will I ask for your money?" William I said pretending to be displeased.

"Your Majesty, don't misunderstand me. I'm not using money to buy Your Majesty. How could the noble Majesty change my mind for the sake of money? This is just a gift from our Japan to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty won't take it seriously. This money has nothing to do with what I beg you to Your Majesty." Hirofumi Ito bowed deeply, "Please accept it with your Majesty."

William I smiled and said, "You are very good at talking. I think it will be very interesting to talk to Bismarck."

William I said, picked up the envelope, slurped a little on his mouth with his fingers, opened the envelope, pulled out the check, and saw that it was 5 million marks. He was shocked and thought to himself that this Japanese was really crazy with such a large sum of money?

When Ito Hirobuki peeked at William I's face, he knew that William I was tempted and secretly happy that he was not afraid of giving money would be wasted, and he was most worried that he would not be able to send it out. Ito Hirobuki is indeed very courageous in diplomacy.

"Your Majesty, we have surrendered. We dare not disturb your Majesty's rest." Hirofumi Ito said quickly when he saw that William I was still hesitating.

William I nodded secretly, thinking that Hirobuki Ito is indeed a wise man and knows how to observe his expressions and expressions. "Okay, I will consider this matter."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hirofumi Ito and Shigeru Moriyama quickly bowed.

William I made a gesture to the servants around him, meaning to see off the guests. The servants came up to lead Ito Hirofun and Moriyama Shigeru out.

"Sir, how are you doing this? Did you succeed?" After going out, Shigeru Moriyama couldn't wait and asked Hirobu Ito in a low voice.

Hirobu Ito nodded and said, "It's 90% successful, but it can't be said 100%, because there is Bismarck's level. But I think that in Germany's eyes, Japan and China seem to be not very important, so I think they should support Japan for the sake of money."

"Yes, the Emperor Hua is very stingy in diplomacy. He is stingy in bribing officials and has the airs of a big country. How could he be like us and humble to people like the Emperor?" Moriyama Shigeru said with a smile.

After hearing Shigeru Moriyama's words, Hirofumi Ito was very unhappy, snorted coldly, and walked forward, scaring Shigeru Moriyama so much that he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Although Hirobu Ito is an opponent of Emperor Hua, Hirobu Ito actually appreciates Emperor Hua's character and method of doing things.

In terms of strength, China is strong and Japan is weak. If it is reversed, Hirofumi Ito believes that he will not rely on these indifferent means to interact with the top leaders of the great powers, so he will be angry with Shigeru Moriyama.

In fact, Hirobuki Ito is much better than Li Hongzhang in terms of ability.

If Emperor Hua had not changed history and unified China, what measures did Li Zhongtang have taken to reform his internal affairs in the original history?

Emperor Hua admired Li Hongzhang mainly because of Li Hongzhang's ability to adapt, so Li Hongzhang could only serve as a diplomat.

Building a fleet has little to do with internal affairs, and this fleet is just a fleet, not a navy.

Moreover, the first Chinese navy was Zuo Zongtang, which was more than ten years later than the shogunate navy.

The Shogunate opened its eyes to see the world so early, but the Shogun faction still felt it was too slow.

Hirofumi Ito was born in poverty and was too late to see the world. He only got the opportunity in 1863 and went to study in the UK for only half a year.

At this time, Li Zhongtang was already a chief official, and Ito was just a small translator in Changzhou.

After returning to China, he caught up with the collapse of the curtain and caused a revolution. Ito, as a think tank in Changzhou, became the top leader. Internal reform is not easy, and if it is not easy, he will cause a revolution.

Li Hongzhang did not have such courage, so he could only be a assistant minister. His knowledge was even more different.

Ito had never received any advanced Confucian education, which is a good thing. If he had received it and had a full mind of Neo-Confucianism, it would be the one who would even oppose arithmetic museum.

Confucian education has greatly harmed the country. Ito received some superficial education and then went abroad to study directly. After returning, he saw that there was nothing reasonable in Japan.

When proposing the "National Is the Outline", there are two very important points: 1. Abolish the level differences 2. Learn the academics of all nations.

Ito had no idea of ​​learning, he only had academics in his mind.

Going abroad is the fastest way to change your mind. After the fall of the curtain, half of the new government went abroad for inspection. After returning, he whispered to change his internal affairs.

Li Hongzhang never thought about this kind of thought at the same time.

Of course, there are also differences in foreign political systems. Which one to learn is designed by Ito.

Li Hongzhang realized the shortcomings of the system, and was probably thirty years later than Ito after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.

With a thirty-year gap, how could it be better than Ito? Japan is not just Ito. Yama Prefecture Yuto built the Japanese military system and was one of the fathers of the Japanese Imperial Army. His thoughts were decades ahead of Li Hongzhang.

When Ito Hirofumi asked Moriyama Shigeru to prepare for a secret meeting with Bismarck, Emperor Hua had already received a secret telegram, knowing that Ito Hirofumi had met the German Emperor William I.

"Your Majesty?" Princess Katrina Kaif called softly.
