Xu Huaijin frowned and asked, "Instructor, what do you think we should do now?"
Zhang yi laughed. "What should I do? No matter how many roads we come, we will go all the way, no matter how Japan invades. What we have to do is to accumulate strength as soon as possible and be strong enough for Japan to dare not move. Only when we are fully prepared will we start to attack the Qing court. This is our response.
! "
Zhang Yihu asked, "Instructor, do you mean constant should change?"
Zhang Yi laughed and said, "OK, I haven’t learned new terms for a few days. Is this to teach you in a hundred miles?"
Zhang Yihu disdained, "Instructor, don’t look down on people. I have taught me this thing for a long time!"
Zhang Yixiao nodded and said, "Huai Jin is what a tiger said. We should just keep changing at our own pace. We can’t disrupt our own plans because of external changes. It’s not worth the loss. It should be Japan and Russia. What are we afraid of!"
Xu Huaijin nodded and said, "Huai Jin, the instructor, was educated."
Zhang Yi then asked, "Since Japan wants to tell Southeast Asian soldiers where they are going to invade?"
Xu Huaijin mused, "At present, Vietnam’s Sino-French occupation of Japan has not dared to provoke Malaysia. It is Britain’s support for Japan, michel platini, and they are even more afraid to attack the Philippines. Although the United States has just defeated Spain and won the Philippine colony, it is not possible for the United States to provoke Japan. In my opinion, the most likely direction of aggression should be Java!"
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Well, I think so, too. The Java Islands are now the sphere of influence of the Netherlands, but the Netherlands is no longer the coachman of the past. The Java Islands are far away from Europe, and the Netherlands is not a Japanese opponent! If you want to win the British approval, you can defeat the Netherlands and occupy Java! "
Xu Huaijin replied, "That’s it. The British have always advocated a balanced policy. Europe is the same as Asia. They don’t want Asia to rise and revive China in the future. That will make Asia geopolitics completely out of their control and show their loyalty to Britain every day. It is necessary for Asia to contain us and exchange our interests. There is no pain for Britain. After all, the Boer War is shopping with the Dutch!"
Chapter one hundred and seventy-seven Ito Bowen’s visit to Britain
After seeing off Zhang Yihu and other commanders, a few days later, Xu Shuzheng also completed the preparation of the army and took a ship to prepare for the second division of Taiwan Province, Taiwan Province for deployment.
It is rare for the Republic of China to fall into a period of calm for two months, and all fields of the Republic of China are developing in an orderly way.
At this time, Europe is constantly shaking European countries, and the contradiction of competing for world colonies is deepening. Britain has the largest number of colonies, and its strength is soaring. The contradiction of trying to capture more colonies in Germany is also intensifying.
Britain is now facing great military pressure.
From this time, Germany’s gross national product has surpassed Britain’s military strength. Germany is the first army power in the world, and even France can’t. Because of the limited development of Germany’s seaport, the naval strength is still relatively poor, which is not at the same level as Britain’s roots. If Britain wants to compete for overseas colonies without strong naval support, it is impossible.
Emperor William II strongly supported the German Ministry to start making an ambitious plan to strengthen the army in an attempt to overtake the British side in curve construction, and to achieve the goal of overtaking the British side in ten to fifteen years.
But Britain is now in a state of anxiety. The army can’t compete with others. If the navy falls behind, the British empire will be really dangerous.
What’s more, Germany also has many allies. Although the overall strength is not as good as that of Britain, the biggest variable comes from the rapid rise of China. According to the evaluation of think tanks in Europe and America, the strength of China’s army has surpassed that of most countries, only behind Germany, France, Britain, America and Russia, ranking sixth in the world, and it is possible to surpass the United States and Russia at any time, adding to China’s future development potential. Germany is close to Britain and the political circles have reason to be more worried that the future Sino-German alliance will pose a real threat to them!
Now Salisbury is completely in distress, and the future is coming soon. These years have been very difficult, especially in the Boer War and the war against China, which made him face strong pressure from two houses!
Although the Boer war has gradually entered the end, it is difficult for the local insurgents to pose a strong threat to the British army, but the war has caused heavy losses to Britain for three consecutive years
Not to mention that Britain has not benefited from China since Zhang Jian was born. It turns out that when the Qing court was in charge, the British were able to control the situation in China. Hurd and others worked hard to make the Manchu government like a puppet court of the British. However, with the growth of Zhang Jian, the arrogant attitude of the British towards the Chinese tiger eventually pushed the Chinese tiger to the German side. A lot of benefits were taken away by the Germans and Americans, leaving a little leftovers for the British!
Until last year’s war against China, Britain and France jointly sent troops to try to control China, which was China’s backyard. As a result, it was contrary to Zhang Jian’s army’s entry, and the British and French joint forces were beaten to the roots, so they could not lift their heads!
Now Britain has completely lost its discourse on China. Even the southern Qing court is now at the mercy of Britain. Yuan Shikai is from Li Hongzhang. He has a very clear understanding of the future of the Qing court. It is too difficult to hold him!
At such an awkward moment, someone sent the door!
Japanese Prime Minister Ito Bowen!
In order to complete the strategy of advocating culture in Southeast Asia, we won the strong support of Britain, and Ito Bowen personally visited Britain, hoping to get satisfactory results through negotiations.
In the past two days, Foreign Minister Lansdowne has been negotiating with Ito Bowen. Let’s talk about Ito Bowen first. Now Salisbury has already understood Ito Bowen’s visit to Britain.
Showing his cards, Ito Bowen was soon met by Salisbury.
Buckingham Palace
Salisbury looked at Ito Bowen and said, "I am fully aware of Prime Minister Ito’s visit this time, but this matter is very difficult. Although China and the Netherlands have been very unhappy recently, if once European countries encounter external disputes, they will always be unanimous. If you want to start a war in Java, you will be afraid of it!"
Ito Bowen laughed. "Dear Prime Minister, your country has always made good friends with anglo-japanese alliance, and it has been going on for many years. We are still very happy together. Now the rapid rise of the Republic of China in Asia has seriously affected your Asian leadership. Presumably, you don’t want a big country with poor potential in the far east to be completely revived. Once China completes its reunification, it will be inevitable for people to stop it. At that time, it will be extremely difficult to think about further curbing China’s development!"
Salisbury said with a smile, "It’s true that we don’t want to see a resurgent China, especially China, which is close to Germany, and we don’t want it to rise completely. But if we contain China, it seems that your country has nothing to do with it."
Ito Bowen laughed. He saw that although Salisbury seemed to mean something, his words still brought out a trace of anxiety. Now the British Empire is also a headache for limiting the development of the Republic of China. It is very eager to launch a war again and completely defeat the Chinese tiger. It is not easy to talk about the expedition. Even if the parliament passed the bill to launch a war against China, are the British sure to defeat the Chinese tiger? But people have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers who have already said the situation in last year’s war. That doesn’t mean that sending a fleet can make the Qu people clear. * * It doesn’t mean that the government of the Republic of China can still do that
Ito Bowen said with a smile, "Mr. Salisbury didn’t say that our friendship between Britain and Japan goes back to ancient times. It is very important for your country that our Japanese empire restricts the development of the Republic of China. Looking around Asia, can you find a more suitable choice than our Japanese empire?"
Chapter one hundred and seventy Lobbying Britain to take each.
Salisbury frowned when he heard Ito Bowen say this. Ito Bowen is too arrogant. Can he balance such a big China with this small day?
Salisbury said, "Well, Mr. Ito, it is difficult to balance China’s development just by relying on your day. Your two countries are not the same size. If it was five or six years ago, you might not have a chance now!"
Ito Bowen smiled and replied, "Prime Minister, anything is possible. It is true that we are far from China’s rivals in terms of land area and population, but China people have a fatal weakness, that is, no matter how many people there are, they are scattered. Although there are less than 20 million people every day, we are United and our citizens are of higher quality and can bring super productivity. The only drawback is that we lack development resources, which is also the biggest goal we want to obtain in Java Islands, where we can get enough rubber resources and oil resources! If we have sufficient resources, the Japanese Empire will have the confidence that China will confront your country to contain the rapid rise of the Republic of China! "
Salisbury’s heart shook and he really didn’t know where Ito Bowen got such great confidence.
Salisbury Nai said, "Mr. Ito, things are not as simple as you think. Even if the British Empire does not interfere in your Dutch war, can you be Dutch opponents? This is not necessarily true. Although the national strength of the Netherlands is declining, it is not easy for you to deal with them every day, but it is deep. Even if you can beat the Netherlands, you will still face the French and Americans. Will they stand by? "
Ito Bowen laughed. "Prime Minister, it depends on you. We will find a suitable reason for the Dutch war, which will not make you feel difficult, and we are sure that we can defeat the Netherlands. But who do you want the White Java Islands to fall into is the best for your country! The French are far away from Asia, and they can’t contain the United States. Let’s not say that they are far away from America, even if they are in Asia, the United States and China. Will they deal with the Republic of China? "
Salisbury has no words.
Ito Bowen continued, "On the contrary, if we want to rise, we must suppress the development of the Republic of China. This is a must. There are two tigers in one mountain, and we also have the potential to contain China. If we get the Java Islands and get the resources needed for development, we will surpass the Republic of China." Moreover, the alliance between our two countries will be deeper. This is the real killing of two birds with one stone! "
Salisbury fell silent, and the Asia-Pacific region will be able to help itself. Other countries either don’t have the strength or are too far away, or they are not very good. It turns out that Russia was also chosen, but in recent years, Russia has repeatedly suffered from the loss of the Republic of China, and Germany directly threatened that Nicholas II would not have the courage to launch the World War I of the Republic of China.
Seeing Salisbury’s silence, Ito Bowen knew that he was already a little tempted and said, "Prime Minister, it’s now or never to come again. You know, it will be unrealistic to wait until the Chinese tiger completes the integration of northern China provinces in two or three years at most, and it is bound to be as weak as the South China soldiers and the Qing court."
Salisbury felt a shock. If Zhang Yi unified Chinese and China really took off, it would be just around the corner. Countless resources, population, and China’s tiger talents would not be able to rise rapidly!
When China is really a day, the British people around China and China will never think of a peaceful day to enjoy. In those days, all Southeast Asia, North Korea and so on were vassals of China!
Salisbury slammed his chair and said coldly, "It is a dream to want to rise the Chinese tiger quickly! I won’t give him this chance! "
Ito Bowen secretly sneered at giving him a chance. Now the situation is up to you. How can you limit the rise of China without Japan and Russia as the vanguard? Do you think his cats and dogs have such strength?
Ito Bowen replied, "Prime Minister, please do your best to help us fight the Japanese Empire and take the Java Islands. We will definitely keep the Chinese tiger in the cage. The future of China is not decided by the Chinese tiger, but by the British Empire and the Japanese Empire. Look, Prime Minister …"
Salisbury nodded. Ito Bowen said that it makes sense. If China rises, it will be a great threat to Britain. Now Central Asia, Tibet, Indian Peninsula and Southeast Asia are all important interest areas of the British Empire, and they are close to China or China’s territory. The future rise of China’s own geopolitical strategy must be reconstructed, which will have a huge impact on British interests. This is completely foreseeable!
How could the British Empire allow such a lion to wake up next to himself!
Salisbury said, "Well, Mr. Ito Bowen, I am willing to support your country in the war against Java, but you need to give me a paragraph saying that my house is not the only one in charge of this country. It is necessary to come up with a resolution through the house!"
Ito Hiroshi was overjoyed to have Salisbury’s support, so the rest would be much easier.
Salisbury went on to say, "But Mr. Ito Bowen gave us a common friendship. I need your country to send a fleet to our South African region. We suppress the Boer uprising and hope that your country can also support our actions …"
Ito Bowen was shocked. He now knew that the Boer War had gradually come to an end, but it would take some time to finish. After several years of war, the British army was now exhausted and urgently needed allies to support him directly.
Ito Bowen replied, "Prime Minister, on behalf of the empire, I can promise you to send a brigade army to South Africa to support your war, but is it not appropriate to send troops in such a bold manner?"
Salisbury sneered, "You don’t need to send two integrated artillery regiments, but we can give you corresponding ammunition. We need your long-range attack capability!"
Chapter one hundred and seventy-nine Game-writing protocol out of the emperor god.
Britain and Japan reached an alliance agreement in a further attempt to strengthen the timeliness, and the latest chapter visited:
A strange society has emerged in Europe, a Chinese-controlled society-the Imperial Shrine.
A "Bi Xue Chinese" rose rapidly in European countries. With his extraordinary skill and extraordinary mind, first Germany rolled up a whirlwind and quickly established a Chinese party group organization. Then German Chinese "made friends" with a good background, and soon Germany and France gained a firm foothold.
Only half a year ago, this society established great prestige in Europe. In one year, the European mafia made several’ hands-on’, and both sides won and lost.
