The Admiralty from NavalHeadquarters in Osaka announced
exercises in and around the
Formosa Strait for the next few
weeks. The Admiralty also wishes
to assure all governments concerned
that these are long planned and
scheduled training maneuvers,and
there is no cause what so ever for
alarm. The Imperial Japanese
government wants to maintain
nothing but amicable relations with
all her neighbors.

ReplyDeleteI hope the Tsar keeps his fleets well clear then. Some place starting with T I understand to be particularly hairy... :-D
ReplyDeleteTas, that would be a wise
ReplyDeleteprecaution.I'm not saying
that our Japanese allies
would do anything provocative
they are after all operating
within their own territorial
waters. Large numbers of
heavily armed ships of
different nations in the
same vicinity is a recipe
for miscalculation .
"they are after all operating
ReplyDeletewithin their own territorial
waters"
I dont think the His Imperial Chinese Majesty would agree, he is still cheesed off over ceeding this strategic island to them!
There is that! But then there is
ReplyDeletemany a coastline that flies the
Union Jack where the locals have
much the same sentiments.
Thats completely different old Boy! We cant let that sort of talk and rot take hold! Good God, whats the world coming to....
