Ministry of the Navy (Japan)
In the IJA and IJN, the ministries were in charge of Gunsei (軍政, military administration), and Army General Staff Office and Navy General Staff were in charge of Gunrei (軍令, military command).However, with the creation of the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff in May 1893, it was left with only administrative functions.However, the officers of the Navy General Staff found an opportunity at the Washington Naval Conference in 1921–22 to improve their situation.At this meeting, the United States and Britain wanted to establish a worldwide naval ratio, asking the Japanese to limit themselves to a smaller navy than the Western powers.The Naval Ministry was willing to agree to this, seeking to maintain the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, but the Navy General Staff refused.
