After this inverted, the Tokugawa Shogunate was severely damaged, and the entire Japanese ruling class was completely torn apart. Japan is still a samurai, but merchants have entered the political stage as emerging forces and their voices in the future are still expanding. As samurai, the Tokugawa Shogunate and Western Daine-na are already in a state of complete confrontation.

But in the short term, Japan will not undergo drastic changes. The Western Daming and Tokugawa Shogunate have just experienced pain and are still digesting the results or dealing with the internal situation. This period is the time for the United States to expand its commercial and political interests.

Kawaharada Hitoe asked: "Your Excellency, do we and the other three still need to participate in the war in the mainland?"

Ah Hai shook his head slightly: "The three are united with the United States. In terms of loyalty, I trust the head of state. But you and the three of you should not participate in the war on the mainland. The fruits of victory in Japan are consolidated. In addition, since you have joined Japan, your subordinate relationship with the United States will be lifted. If you go to the mainland, you will not be a righteous army. If you go to war, it will be a joint battle of hundreds of thousands or millions of people. The strength of the three guns does not have the power to decide the victory or defeat. In addition, if you go to the battle, how can our country make a decision?"

The three of them were silent. They also knew their abilities. They fought in Japan, and they could be called the pillar of the sky. They could enter the United States sequence. They were not even the main force, but the three still wanted to keep in touch with the United States. To put it bluntly, with the power of the three, they were alone in Japan. Whether it was to protect the interests they had or expand the interests, they were inseparable from the support of the United States.

"Don't worry about gains and losses. We are breaking our bones and connecting our tendons. In the future, the interests of the United States in Japan will depend on you and the three of you. There is a saying now that the battle of the downfall is just the beginning. In the future, the United States will have to trouble you three guns. You three can develop well in Japan and you will be able to be the king in the future." Ah Hai was much more happy after drinking.

The Battle of the Shogun has been concluded in Japan. Of course, the term "Off Shogun" is no longer there, because the shogunate is still there. The United States and Tokugawa Shogunate, and the western daimyo have concluded this war as a "clear monarch" type of traitors. Simply put, there were traitors within the Tokugawa Shogunate who treated foreign vassals Daimyo and provoked the Sino-Japanese war. During the war, the traitors were either eliminated or found guilty by the shogunate. Now that Japan is "political in peace", the war naturally ends.

Nowadays, the Tokugawa Shogunate still exists. Tokugawa Ietsunobu, who signed the Nagoya Treaty, has retired and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi took over as Daime. The pillar of the shogunate, Masayuki, was directly sacrificed. He was recognized as the leader of the shogunate traitor and forced to seduce the war, putting an end to the war.

In the United States, the Sino-Japanese War was a war that united the country, especially the bourgeois merchants, and was a war that was powerful overseas. It opened up the Japanese market for the merchants of the United States and received strong support from the merchant class. For the Senate, this war not only solved a big trouble in the United States at a low cost, but also brought about fiscal growth and a leap in national strength, but also completed the temptation of Japan and the exploration of a new colonial model.

Simply put, let the upper class of the United States realize that all feudal regimes are paper tigers, and the Tokugawa Shogunate was one of them. At the beginning of the war, except for Lee Myung-hoon and Ah Hai, almost no one thought that the United States would win quickly. But now it seems that the Tokugawa Shogunate is powerful and powerless, and is just a sign of it, and is simply vulnerable.

This also opened the door to the United States' colonial civilized state. When the United States was founded, colonial expansion was a national strategy that was equally important with national liberation. However, for a long time, the targets of the United States' colonization were primitive tribes and some small countries. Although many countries that were colonized and even annexed by the United States were named as a sultanate, and traces of these ancient civilizations could also be found in historical books, these countries that used other countries' writings, spoke tribal languages, were backward in technology, and had closed ideas. They did not have their own history and culture, their own thoughts, and their perfect political system. In the eyes of the citizens of the United States, in the definition of the Senate, they belonged to barbarians.

However, as it expanded to a certain boundary, the surrounding barbarian forces were gradually annexed, leaving only civilized countries such as Japan, North Korea, and the Indochina Peninsula. Zhen La is a country on the border between civilization and barbarism, and Japan is even more typical. This war of the anti-scene war was an experiment.

The conclusion of the experiment is that one or two wars are simply not enough to annex a civilized country with a huge base population, national culture and a perfect political system, but it can open its doors, control, and influence its ruling class, and use time, force, political means and advanced civilization and technology to create a regime in favor of the United States in this civilized country.

At first, it might be just a pro-China regime, friendly and open to the United States, but later it might be controlled by the United States and become a protector, vassal state, or a semi-colonial regime. The ultimate goal is to control part of the ruling class, rule the United States for the United States, and become a colony of the United States.

Judging from Japan's reaction, this path is completely feasible. In the future, it can be tried in Annan, Siam, and Myanmar, and even in India. In fact, this is not the end. In the report submitted to Lee Myung-hoon, the final outcome of these civilized countries is to be assimilated and then become the administrative region of the United States, which is completely annexed.

Although it has not yet been proved that this road is a dead end, Li Mingxun directly announced in the Senate that colonies are the ultimate situation of civilized countries. Do not intend to assimilate and annex a civilized country, nor should they regard it as their homeland or people as their citizens. This is Li Mingxun's foresight as a time traveler.

India is a very good interest. In history, the British colonial rule over it has been very successful. India is also the shining jewel in the crown of the British king. Until the British ambitions expanded, they thought they could really be assimilated and merged. When the British East India Company ruled the Indian region and built railways, established administrative systems, and developed the economy. Britain regarded India as its territory, which directly led to the British losing money in the Indian colony. The reason was very simple, and the management cost was too high.

(Before the UK withdrew, it was built 60,000 miles of railway in India! What’s funny is that India still has 60,000 miles of railway, and I really want to be the director of the Indian Statistics Bureau.)

Takasawa Heizaburo asked, "Your Excellency, what's the situation in the mainland now? We are in a tiny place in Japan, so we really can't hear from it."

Ahai smiled and said, "The situation in the southeast is not optimistic. As early as the end of September, the Qing prince Yue Le launched a general attack on eastern Zhejiang. The Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River forced the Qiantang River, while the Qing army in Jiangxi attacked Quzhou sideways, and almost successfully attacked Xianxia Pass. Now Quzhou, Jinhua and Shaoxing are basically lost. It is estimated that General Wu Mu will retreat to the coastal cities."

The seven provincial level is the core main force in the Dutch Navy, but the Dutch did not have the experience of building three-deck battleships, and the draft must not exceed five meters. Therefore, the layout of the seven provincial level is similar to that of the Avian Beast level. Among them, the middle and lower two layers of coherent artillery decks, while the upper artillery decks are distributed in the stern and forecastles. The first layer of artillery has fourteen gun doors on a single side, which is also qualified in the United States, but it is already a leader in Europe, because most of the British warships had only twelve or thirteen.

Unlike the artillery configurations of the mainstream navy, the Dutch gun configurations were very chaotic. The strongest in the seven provincial level was the thirty-six-pound cannon, but it was equipped with only twelve cannons, which were equipped at the rear of the lower gun deck. The middle and front part of the lower gun deck were twenty-four-pound cannons, the middle and rear part of the middle deck were fourteen eighteen-pound cannons, the front part was twelve twelve cannons, and the stern and forecastle were twenty-six six-pound cannons.

Druittel's ship, Golden Lion, is the fourth of the seven provincial battleships. It was originally named Shenzhong, but after joining the European Combined Fleet, Druittel acquired the position of commander of the Combined Fleet, it was renamed the Golden Lion to commemorate the main battleship that sank in the Battle of Java.

The Dutch East India Company is the main body of the European Combined Fleet, and the fleet commander is naturally his subordinates. Harus and Djot, who once participated in the Battle of Java, are the two biggest competitors of the commander of the Combined Fleet. However, facing a strong maritime enemy like the United States, the Combined Fleet not only needs strong combat power, but also a great commander. The Netherlands also knew that the East could not lose this battle, so he chose Druittel, a god-level general, to command it.

Outside the sea of ​​Orangeburg, this fleet led by the Golden Lion already has nearly 40 warships of more than 1,000 tons, with only nine of the seven provincial and similar professional battleships. The rest are Galen's main battleships and armed merchant ships. Druittel arrived in Orangeburg at the end of last year and immediately carried out training. The first thing to do is to arrange troops and arrange battle lines. The most basic tactics.

"Djot, this time the battle lines are arranged very well, especially the guard fleet, and the Spaniards are indeed extraordinary." Compared with Harus, who likes to flatter, Druitt prefers the sincere Djott, so let him stay by his side and assist in command.

"I feel grateful for having colleagues like Raphael. To be honest, he is the only naval general who has defeated the Chinese." Djott was still telling the truth.

Looking at the steady and straight battle lines, Druittel asked: "His Excellency Djott, do you think this battle lines are comparable to Vaughn's enemies?"

Djot shook his head: "On the surface, it's OK, but if the wind speed changes slightly, or there are large angle turns, the battle line will easily collapse, and our opponents are familiar with this."

"In your eyes, can we never compare to those Eastern monkeys?" Druittel said angrily.
