After Su Xiong's two battleships were wounded, he couldn't return home, and he was now lying in a bay in Africa licking his wounds. Now there is no heavy oil on the rotten streets in the Persian Gulf. I can only survive by burning coal produced in poor-quality coal mines in Africa, and even coal is not enough. So far, every ship Just added more than 1,000 tons of coal, which is really not enough for the Scharnhorst brothers! This is the advantage of the British Empire.

Effective maintenance cannot be carried out, there is not enough supply, and there are two other queens wandering around the Indian Ocean to make up for the knife. In this case, it is good for Su Xiong to hide, who would dare to continue hunting those merchant ships? In terms of cost and strategic value, two of his own battleships are much higher than those of merchant ships! Therefore, with the Su Xiong fleet deliberately hidden, the British simply did not find Su Xiong with two queens and a few light cruisers.... After all, the Indian Ocean is so hot, where can you find it?

"Okay, okay, don't explain, let's talk about the business first. Major General Thomas is responsible for the Indian Ocean affairs. You should urge him to make him move faster." Asquith looked defeated.

"Okay, no problem." But unlike the Prime Minister, what Churchill thinks now is to quickly get Thomas back to the town house instead of continuing to play hide and seek with Su Xiong in the Indian Ocean. The temptation to kill Su Xiong's fleet is great, but the situation in the family is even more worrying! Who knows how long it will take to kill Su Xiong's fleet? Luckily, maybe a telegram of the victory of the battle was sent tonight, and then all the high-ranking officers of the Navy were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night, and they couldn't drink rum! If it's bad luck? It may take a few more months, who knows!

What should I do if I want to solve this problem but I don’t have enough time and manager? Naturally, get out and do more important things, and then subcontract this thing to others! Anyone who has ever played finance knows what else is going on with so many kinds of financial products and packaging division? It's because of this!

"We have a big disagreement with the Japanese. On the one hand, I think the Japanese people’s asking price is too high. On the other hand, the Japanese are paying too little, and the expectations of the two sides differ greatly. We are working hard, but how long It's hard to tell if there is a result." Prime Minister Asquith said helplessly.

"Really! This matter has been discussed before the war began. It has been more than 2 years now? Haven't talked about it yet?" Churchill knows some inside stories. As the world's largest empire, the strategic level of the British Empire It is absolutely awesome. Even after the Russo-Japanese War, Britain has already valued the little brother it supports. In order to deal with the war with Germany, the British have naturally prepared for it. If the negotiation time is counted before It would be longer than Churchill knew, but so far, the two sides have not reached an agreement!

"If Japan wants us to recognize the German islands they invaded, this is not impossible. Although the strategic location of these islands is indeed important." Churchill said, touching his chin. Then he saw Lord Prime Minister sitting on the main seat looking at him with a strange look... Churchill felt a little guilty in his heart...

"If it was just this condition, we would agree on the spot. The Japanese have a big appetite, very big! Up to now, we don't know what the Japanese have. They are like a pack of wolfhounds, insatiable and greedy! The Far East watched us coldly, and then waited for our offer!" Asquith shook his head, his tone was full of dissatisfaction with the Japanese.

Originally, the British were not satisfied with Japan's occupation of some German islands, because the location of these islands was too important, which allowed the Japanese navy's base system to advance south and east for thousands of nautical miles! It’s even close to the Mid-Pacific. It’s already close to Australia and it’s close to the Dutch East Indies. Now everyone is allies and it’s easy to talk.

But the British had to consider the security of their colonies and their interests in the Pacific. Japan controlled these places. After that, it would be the overlord of the entire Western Pacific. Even if the war is over, the declining British Empire will never be in the Far East and Japan. Competition, it's not that the fighting power is not enough, but the money bag is empty... Therefore, the British are very dissatisfied with Japan's actions!

But what made the British never expected was that when the British high-level officials held n meetings and forced themselves on the venue for many times, they finally agreed to recognize the Japanese occupation of these islands and were ready to exchange for support from Japan. Disagree! This is something that has never happened before in the history of the British Empire for hundreds of years! A small country does not buy the face of the British Empire so much!

However, the Japanese disagree, and the British Empire has nothing to do. The so-called people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Now Japan is also a very important country in the Far East, and with the current situation of the British Empire, it is true that Japan cannot be helped. .... What's more, now there is a demand for Japan, not only the navy, but the army also needs a lot of cannon fodder!

Regarding the cannon fodder of the army, the Japanese Empire is very generous. Anyway, the British take care of food, lodging, weapons and training, and even the freight is paid by the British. An elite soldier is more than 50 pounds! This is a lot of money! One division’s red deer can make up a fearless boat. Besides~lightnovelpub.net~ Japan is really crowded, so it doesn’t matter if you throw a little! But for the navy? The Japanese government adheres to the principle of "Never destroy warships"!

Of course, the more important reason is that the Japanese think the British Empire’s offer is not sincere enough! The Japanese think very well, although if the Allied Powers do not win, all these islands will be spit out. This is indeed a problem for Japan, but at best it is far-sighted, not near-term worry! But now that Britain is at war, at a time of life and death, at this time you just admit it is like letting Japan die? What do you think? How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Look at how cruel the German fleet is! His two former fearless ships were reimbursed within minutes. Thomas brought the most ruthless queens of the British Empire to find a place, but there was no use. If the Japanese navy went up, the German navy might be a little bit smashed. Japan is about to sink a capital ship! What a risk this is!

And the Japanese also faintly realized that if the Germans played better this time, then Japan might still get even greater benefits! Even if a German colony is lost, it can still be called a big profit!
