"Prime Minister, the interests of our Great Japan Empire and the Great German Empire are the same. Our biggest opponent is the Ying Country, and there is not much conflict of interest between them.”
"Therefore, our Great Japan Empire can work together with the German Empire to establish a new world order in the future. Your country needs a distant ally to restrain the power of Britain and France for your country, and we also need an ally in Europe. For the future of the Great Japan Empire, we can do anything and pay any price.”
Hiroshi Oshima raised his head and stared at Rudolph with bright eyes. This was the first time Japan had officially extended an olive branch.
As a diplomat, even though it wasn't enough, it was enough to convince Japan.
"I'm sorry, I think the ambassador has misunderstood. We in Germany love peace and have no enemies. We only have competitors and friends, and we don't need allies.”
Rudolph didn't answer him directly.
Hiroshi Oshima frowned when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect this result.
Could it be that the Prime Minister of China wanted to probe again and again like the Chinese?
The Chinese love peace? No enemies?
Who was he lying to? Who would believe it! Anyway, he didn't believe it!
The contradiction between the emerging capitalist countries and the established capitalist powers was irreconcilable.
The old capitalist countries were gradually declining, but they still occupied the vast majority of the world's colonies and resources. The emerging capitalist countries wanted to break this stalemate.
The most representative countries were the United States, Japan, and the United States. They wanted to use economic and diplomatic means to obtain the greatest benefits.
The rest of the country and Japan could not do so. Since they had the same purpose and there were not many conflicts of interest, they were obviously natural allies. Hiroshi Oshima did not believe that Rudolph would not be tempted.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I hope to invite you to visit the Imperial Kingdom and see the scenery. You can also join the military camp of our Great Japan Empire and guide our Imperial Army. After that, I think the Prime Minister's impression of us might change. Of course, we hope that this is a secret visit.”
Hiroshi Oshima quickly adjusted his mood and sent out an invitation.
He thought that maybe Rudolph felt that Japan was not strong enough to be their ally, so he sent out an invitation confidently.
Even though Rudolph was prepared, he was still surprised by such a blatant invitation.
But thinking about it, it was understandable. From Yoshida Matsuyin to his students, Takayoshi, Yamagata Amitomo, Ito Hakufumi, Inoue Qing, and others who worked hard in the reform, the country was growing stronger day by day. Now they couldn't wait to continue their next plan. Rudolph was also very clear about their plan, which could be roughly divided into five steps.
1. annex North Korea to obtain a springboard for the Asian road;
2. Turn Northeast China into a satellite country and obtain fertile land in East Asia.
3. Turn the majority of the country (excluding Tibet) into its satellite vassal state and establish its position as the suzerain of East Asia.
4. Divide the Southeast Asian countries and the islands in the Western Pacific into their own sphere of influence and turn as many of them into their own vassals as possible to establish the Greater East Asia Common Prosperity Sphere.
5. Destroy or defeat the powers with sphere of influence in the Western and Central Pacific and establish its hegemony in the entire Western Pacific. If this is done, then Japan will achieve its goal of dominating the world.
Now that they had completed the first two steps, they were about to carry out the third step of the plan. When they carried out the third step, it would naturally arouse the anger of the western powers. The western countries could not annex the Tang Dynasty alone, and maintaining the current situation was what they wanted to see the most.
Therefore, Japan urgently needed to find a like-minded ally to attract firepower for them. Compared to the United States, which had a greater conflict of interest, Japan on the European continent was obviously a better choice.
Moreover, Japan was very certain that Germany had a similar plan. They would not be willing to accept the failure of the last time.
Rudolph knew Hiroshi Oshima's confidence very well. Truthfully speaking, the Japanese's combat power was definitely not as weak as in the anti-Japanese dramas. Otherwise, it would not have been so difficult to end the eight-year war with Russia sending troops to destroy 700,000 Kwantung troops and the United States dropping two atomic bombs.
As soldiers, they had rich tactical self-restraint, excellent military organization, and tenacious combat style. Even the chairman, who had obtained a large number of American weapons, was defeated by them.
Moreover, they were also fighting against the United States, Southeast Asia, and the British at the same time. They had swept through and occupied more than half of Asia and Southeast Asia. It was likely that only one army in Asia had the same fighting will as them.
Although the Japanese had good combat strength, it could not make up for their disadvantage in intelligence. Since they wanted to challenge the US at the wrong time, it was naturally impossible for them to become allies with the US. He did not want to be dragged into hell. If it was convenient, he could burn the toilet when they failed.
Of course, they could still show some cooperation. This would not affect the development of the entire battle. At the very least, it could contain the strength of Britain and France and target Russia.
Germany needed a dog to draw hatred for itself in the Far East, but it couldn't be dragged into the water by this dog or let this dog become someone else's dog.
