I'm starting a mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 92 What Axis? We don’t want Italy!
The convoy was gathering. Under Napoleon's guidance, the entire Principality of Kiev was carrying out large-scale production. All the farmland was planted with crops without any omission.

All the land was nationalized and then loaned out to farmers, which made international grain traders grit their teeth. They waved their purchase contracts to show that the land and grain belonged to them.

But Napoleon now is not the patron saint of capitalism. He has a clear position on himself, that is, the butcher who wins the war for the Holy Land. He does not need fame at all.

So what about international grain traders? All the grain has been requisitioned. If you have the ability, just come and take it back.

The merchants were completely helpless against Napoleon's unreasonable behavior. As the author of the world's first capitalist law, he knew the capitalists too well. They wanted to work together to raise his prices, and the prices of food and military supplies were higher than one another.

Napoleon responded: You are too naive!
He immediately found the Northern Union. The Northern Union had been subject to economic sanctions from the whole world before, and a large amount of food and industrial products could not be sold. Now a large amount of food and military supplies were being transported from the Northern Union. The oligarchs of the Northern Union made a fortune, but others could not get any profit at all.

International grain traders dared not mention anything about Napoleon's violation of international sanctions because their backers were no longer able to support them. The United States was shrinking its power around the world and could no longer care about their interests in Europe, Asia and Africa.

Besides, Napoleon is not someone who is easy to mess with, so is the Northern Alliance just a soft persimmon?
If they dared to make any small moves, they would ruin Napoleon's expedition and cut off the financial resources of the Northern Alliance.

By then, Napoleon the Great and Emperor Pushkin will serve them together. Can you afford this blessing?

And after Napoleon announced the establishment of the new Saint-Cyr Military Academy and publicly taught the methods of cultivating the microcosm, these merchants were unable to give away their gold, silver and jewelry.

No one dares to accept it!

There are only two ways to enter the Saint-Cyr Military Academy. One is to be talented and be admitted to the school after being tested. This path only requires children under ten years old. The second way is to fight for Napoleon for a year and be admitted with military merits and Napoleon's letter of recommendation. This path has no age limit and requires risking your life.

The expeditionary force's recruitment office was packed with people who wanted to enter the Saint-Cyr Military Academy based on their military merits. Almost all the young men of military age in Eastern Europe came. Even the female soldiers filled three divisions, and the number was still increasing.

In the temporary Kiev Palace, Napoleon was discussing many matters concerning pre-war preparations with a group of staff. These preliminary preparations were extremely cumbersome, but they had to be done. Otherwise, the expedition would become a suicide mission.

"Davout, how much food do we have left? What about military supplies?"

This Davout was definitely not the Marshal Davout who served under Napoleon, but the marshal's son.

Little Dawu, dressed in military uniform, reported a series of figures neatly. As the logistics director of the expeditionary force, he was very familiar with these things and there was no need for him to look through the reports again.

Looking at the satellite images, Napoleon calculated in his head and said disappointedly, "There is enough military rations. The food transported by the Northern Alliance, plus the granaries of international grain traders requisitioned, are enough to support the resumption of production until the wheat matures."

"But there is a serious shortage of artillery ammunition, not enough fighter planes, and even fewer warships and troop transports. I want to kill people."

The military industry of the Principality of Kiev has been abandoned for many years. Now it is the Kingdom of Polan and the Kingdom of Stockholm that are fully committed to the production of ammunition, but the output is not enough to fill the gap.

This was the ammunition production after being mobilized and rebuilt after two years of supporting the weapons and equipment of the Principality of Kiev during the Kiev-Beijing War.

Without the mobilization of this war, the current ammunition production would be so low that Napoleon would cry.

He just didn't understand. Such an important thing for industry was actually demolished by yourselves. What were you doing!
This is also what made Napoleon feel outrageous about the changes in the times. In his time, the production of guns and ammunition was a national event. Every European country had its own military factories and gunpowder factories, and it was safer to use weapons made by oneself.

But now, there is not a single factory in the entire Kingdom of Polan and Stockholm that can produce tanks, let alone fighter jets. It is okay to make piston fighters, but there are only models of jet fighters. As for warships... do patrol boats count? If they do, they do.

Napoleon let out a long sigh. There was nothing he could do about this kind of industrial construction. It couldn't be built overnight. It would take two years just to build the production plant. In two years, the war was over, so what was there to build?

"Go and invite President Pushkin over. I have a business deal to discuss with him."

If you can’t produce it yourself, you can only buy it.

While Napoleon and Pushtin were talking, Isabella, who had taken a detour to Japan by plane, finally arrived in Osaka. After flying for two whole days, she watched her father's coronation ceremony on the plane. She only hated that she was not there!

She was not there for such an important occasion! I was so angry!

The daughter of the newly crowned King Bolan visited Osaka, which really pulled the trigger on Osaka.

Isabella represents not only the Kingdom of Bolan and the Principality of Kiev, but also Napoleon the Great and the Holy Land behind her. The whole of Japan dare not neglect her. This is a friendly visit, and maybe they can get some benefits. They are very greedy for the places in the Saint-Cyr Military Academy.

"Your Highness, please."

Since it was Osaka, the person who would pick them up at the airport would naturally be someone from the Toyotomi family. It was impossible for Toyotomi Hideo to come to pick them up at the airport, so it could only be the head of the Toyotomi family who came. Anyway, he held the position of Kanpaku, so it was reasonable for their status to be equal.

The convoy drove all the way into the castle tower located in the center of Osaka. This was an important legacy left by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After returning to the position of regent, the Toyotomi family moved back here openly.

In the castle tower, Isabella met all the high-ranking officials of Japan at once, including the new emperor, Empress Kuriko, who sat at the head of the table, separated by a curtain of beads. Outside the curtain, the first person on the left was the humanoid incarnation of the Yamato, Yamato Nadeshiko, who was holding an ancient bronze mirror in her arms, which was naturally the Yasakaki. Now she and the Yasakaki were a pair, inseparable.

On the right is the heroic Toyotomi Hideo. She is also the only one who is not wearing a business suit or kimono. She just sits there in sportswear, and no one dares to say anything wrong.

The Prime Minister Regent, the Shogun, and the Grand Chancellor sat in order behind the two of them, but anyone below the second rank could only stand in there, there was no seat for them at all.

After greeting each other and exchanging a few boring formulaic sentences, Toyotomi Hero, who was busy returning to practice, impatiently interrupted this meaningless conversation.

"Before the capture of Kiev, His Majesty Napoleon had already informed us of his visit. Your Highness the Princess has come all the way here, so I'm sure you are not here to talk nonsense."

"Your Majesty Napoleon, do you want a marriage or cooperation? Please tell us directly. We also have to guard against Izumo. If we leave the front line for too long, there may be problems."

Toyotomi Hideo's rude remarks displeased all the ministers, but the only person here who was qualified to scold her was her father. Others really didn't dare to say anything to her because she was so awesome.

When did Osaka and Tokyo become the front line against Izumo? Do you think I didn't watch the news?
Isabella complained silently in her heart that such words should definitely not be said openly. How Japan handles its national affairs is not the turn of an outsider to interfere.

And she was also a little happy. She was bored of arguing with a bunch of old men. It would be better to solve the problem quickly and go back to school. She could enter Saint-Cyr Military Academy if she wanted to.

"Your Excellency the hero is indeed generous. Then I will say it directly. Your Majesty wants to cooperate with Japan."

"How to cooperate?"

"The French Empire is willing to support Japan's conquest of South Asia and Australia. In return, Japan must contain the Northern Alliance and prevent them from reigniting the war in the Principality of Kiev."

Isabella put forward the conditions, and the experienced politicians exchanged glances and communicated intensely with their eyes.

They speak with their eyes, but I don’t know whether their eyes are dry or not.

Cooperation between countries is naturally a matter between politicians. Yamato Nadeshiko sat there without saying a word, while Toyotomi Hideo touched the shrunken Simba out of boredom.

After the intense eye contact, Regent Prime Minister Kujo Ie moved. He took out a bottle of eye drops and dripped it on himself twice. This eye contact was a bit tiring for the eyes.

Rubbing his eyes, Prime Minister Kujo spoke: "We can conquer South Asia even without the support of His Majesty Napoleon. Why should we help you contain the Northern Alliance?"

This is the offer. In the past, Japan would definitely not dare to do this because of various treaty restrictions. If they attacked other countries, the first one to kill them would be the United States.

But things are different now. America is shrinking globally, the reins around Japan have disappeared, and the Self-Defense Forces have been reorganized into an army. If the threat from Byakuya and Izumo were not so close, they would have started fighting long ago.

This was the condition Napoleon offered.

"With the threat from Izumo, Toyotomi Hideo and Yamato Nadeshiko probably won't dare to leave Japan at all."

"We know that when Yamato Nadeshiko left Japan for South Asia, Byakuya sent people to harass the Tamba area, and the losses were not small."

"The Empire can let Bai Ye sign a peace agreement with the Japanese government to resolve Japan's worries, so that you can go to conquer South Asia without any worries."

Isabella's conditions made everyone present angry, but it was unclear whether this anger was real or fake.

General Tokugawa questioned: "Does His Majesty Napoleon want to split Japan? Signing a peace agreement is tantamount to recognizing the independence of Izumo Province. This is intolerable!"

I don’t know whether others were angry or not, but Shogun Tokugawa was definitely not, because his daughter is now in Europe and his family has no strength. He really doesn’t want to confront Bai Ye at this time, or he will die.

It would be most profitable for him to go and bully the South Asian monkeys. If the Apostle of Divine Grace fought Bai Ye, he would be committing suicide, but it would be too easy for him to fight ordinary people. This is exactly where his ability as a general comes in handy.

But he couldn't say that, because the first person to be held responsible for the division of the country would be him, as the Shogun, and he had to be angry.

At this time, Isabella had to sigh at the wisdom of her ancestors. The anger of General Tokugawa was completely expected, and even the corresponding statement had been planned.

As long as this is done, Japan will inevitably form an alliance with the Empire, and then the Empire can go on an expedition to England with peace of mind.

Just as Isabella was about to speak, Toyotomi Hideo spoke first.
