I do not know whether there was much effect.

"This is a matter of concern.
This become war."
Maybe there was a person who thought so from a different perspective.

"I will resigned from the Generalissimo."
Yoshinobu declared so suddenly.
　
"In either case，system of this state can not continue.
We must established a new system as soon as possible by Tokugawa's led.
That's the only way to survive of Tokugawa.
