Xu Jie's last few words in the negotiation even caused a stir within the Chinese delegation! Zhang Peilun, who was in charge of diplomacy, Peng Yi, who was in charge of the army, and Lin Yongsheng, the navy representative, did not expect that Xu Jie would say this at such an important meeting.

These remarks are beyond the original outline of the meeting, which was originally held on May 5

The minutes of the meeting a few days ago did not say that such an explicit statement would be made during the meeting. This is equivalent to saying that China may embark on the path of confrontation with Britain and Russia for a long time to come. Although this is a secret meeting between the two countries

, but if this statement is revealed, it will undoubtedly be detrimental!

After the meeting, the "criticism" against Xu Jie also started. Faced with the accusations from other representatives at the meeting, Xu Jie was not angry. After all, he did violate discipline and said something that was not stated in advance. But Xu Jie

Jay has enough reasons to defend himself.

"Do you think that if we only rely on the Chinese Navy, after struggling to defeat the Russian-Dutch Combined Fleet, can we include the Dutch East Indies Department in our pocket?" Xu Jie asked the first question.

"If there are no major accidents in the land battle and there is no external interference, our navy will be fully capable of covering the army's landing on Kalimantan after victory. But the British probably won't agree. Judging from the current situation

"The British have spared no effort to arm the Netherlands. In addition to financial support, they have also provided a lot of technical help." Lin Yongsheng, the head of the navy, thought for a while and said.

"The Far East Fleet of the British Empire is indeed inferior to the Chinese Fleet, but the overall naval strength of the British Empire and France is still much higher than that of our country. More importantly, our country's current import and trade of industrial products relies heavily on the United Kingdom. At critical moments,

Not to mention the direct threat of force by Britain and France. The mere restrictions on trade and technology are enough to make our country surrender. Coupled with the consumption of war, I am afraid that the places we have fought hard to conquer will eventually have to be returned." Zhang Peilun said.

"So, in order to preserve the fruits of our victory, we must contact external forces, and this external force must be strong enough to scare the British, and the Germans just meet this condition. I think you should have a clearer understanding of Germany's strength.

In terms of industrial scale, it is second in the world and absolutely top-notch in terms of technology.

In terms of military strength, the army is already number one in the world, and the navy is developing rapidly. Looking at this momentum, in a few years, it is estimated that its combat effectiveness will be second only to the United Kingdom. More importantly, the relationship between Germany and the United Kingdom is already very tense, and Germany

We intend to suppress Britain in all aspects, this is our opportunity!" Xu Jie said seriously.

"Will Germany take action directly? This is impossible. No country will risk war to pay for the interests of another country. The Germans will not take action directly for Beiyang and Britain and France. They still need to prepare," Zhang Peilun told Xu

Jay's statement was very disapproving.

"Germany does not have to fight directly with Britain and France. It only needs to encourage its allies to cause some trouble. For example, let the Ottoman Turkish Empire launch an offensive against the Balkan countries. This is enough to hold back the energy of the British and French.

The Balkan Peninsula is known as the powder keg of Europe. All forces are mixed here. The British support Greece, and the Russians rely on the Slavs to protect them.

As a protector, the Austro-Hungarian Empire hopes to include the Balkan Peninsula in its territory, while the Turks are eager to keep the little land they currently have. Germany only needs to contain it to prevent the British from moving troops to the Far East. As for funds

and technical support, we will gradually choose to cooperate with Germany, and the assistance from the British will become less important." Xu Jie explained.

"Don't Britain and France take the turmoil in the Balkans so seriously? In the final analysis, it's just a group of boys having fun down below. The feasibility of this method is worrying." Zhang Peilun was still worried.

"It depends on the situation. If it is normal times, the unrest in the Balkans will naturally not attract too much attention from Britain and France. But if Russia is weak to a certain extent and is no longer enough to balance the influence of Germany and Austria, then Britain and France can rest assured that Russia is an important ally.

After the period of decline, it is necessary to maintain military strength in the Balkans. Otherwise, Turkey and the Austro-Hungarian Empire may take the opportunity to attack the weakened

The defeated Russians took action! At this time, Russia needed money but no money, and no soldiers. Although Germany and Austria had not completed the final war preparations, Britain, France and Russia had not completed them either. Not only had they not been completed, Russia was at its weakest.

In this case, Britain and France have no choice, they will not put Russia, an important ally, in dire straits for the sake of the Far East!" Xu Jie continued to explain.

"Then even if Germany can help us get some of the colonies in the Dutch East Indies, what will we do in the future? Tie ourselves to the German tanks? Turn against Britain and Russia?" Lin Yongsheng asked.

"We will be close to the Germans, but we will never form any substantial military alliance with Germany. We can provide the Germans with various strategic materials, but we will not fight a real war with the British.

After this war is over, China will need more than ten years to recuperate and recuperate. During this period, there will definitely be no major wars, but we still need to use force to intimidate and intimidate," Xu Jie said.

"What do you think, Prime Minister, of the four countries of Germany, Austria, Italy and Turkey winning a war with Britain, France and Russia? I feel that if nothing unexpected happens, the outcome of this war will be for the Quad Alliance to gain an advantage. Although Germany is unlikely to break through the defense lines of Britain and France.

, but under the attack of Germany, Austria and Turkey, the Russians

You can't hold it back!" As a participant in the World War I war chess game, Peng Yi was quite confident in the combat effectiveness of the German army. At the same time, as an opponent of the Russian army, Peng Yi really looked down on Russia, which was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. After Peng Yi saw it,

Since Germany and the Olympics will win, they should be on the side of the winner.

"If there are no big mistakes in the strategy, the Germans will get a lot of war dividends from Russia. After this war, Britain and France will not be able to suppress the expanding Germany, but don't forget that there is still a big country in the world that has not participated in this war.

Game, and once it joins, it will be a heavy blow to the German-Austrian-Italian-Turkish alliance. Although it has lost one recently, I hope that no one here will underestimate this opponent!" Xu Jie thought for a while and said.

"The Prime Minister is talking about the United States? But from the current point of view, the Americans should be in the recovery stage. Although the navy has started construction of several dreadnoughts, they are all built for other countries and are for the purpose of accumulating experience. If an outbreak occurs in 10 years

In the event of a war, the expansion of the American navy may be slower. As for the army, the development speed of the US army can only be described as slow, which does not look like preparing for a war." Peng Yi frowned and said.

"The United States now seems to give people a sense of harmlessness, and its defeat to the Spanish fleet has made the world despise it. But everyone should not forget that the United States has a larger industrial scale than Germany, a sufficient population, and

Rich resources and vast territory are the basis for it to become a world power! And the U.S. government has even more

With the ambition to dominate the world, if a country has a foundation of strength and a willingness to expand, it will make corresponding actions sooner or later. This country may be the enemy in the future. It doesn’t have to be too far away. The competition between the two sides in the Pacific will soon begin.

Going back, this time may be seven years later, after the U.S. Navy becomes stronger again," Xu Jie said.

"The U.S. Navy? If we can control Honolulu in our hands, the U.S. Navy's threat to us will be very limited. After all, it is impossible for the Americans to defeat a naval power across half of the Pacific without a base to rely on." Lin Yongsheng

After thinking for a while he said.

"So my plan is to use the relationship with the German quasi-allies to obtain sufficient technical and financial support, and after the victory of the Sino-Russian War, I will obtain part of the land in Southeast Asia and part of Russia. For a long time in the future,

We will provide raw materials and resources to the Germans and support Germany's war with Britain and France, thereby weakening the power of Britain and France. After the Sino-Russian War, we will

Domestic construction is the core, but at the same time, we also need to maintain the balance of maritime power with the United States. The best goal is to keep the U.S. Navy's sphere of influence from reaching the west of Honolulu, and the bottom line is not reaching Guam and other areas! If possible, I would like the United States

To participate in the European war, so that this future superpower can turn its attention to the West instead of the Pacific!" Xu Jie revealed his overall plan.

"We can understand Jishi's guarantee to the Germans regarding the continued supply of oil and rubber. After all, once we take over parts of the Dutch East Indies, we will have enough oil and rubber to supply Germany. However, as for Russia's

Action, what are your plans to help the world? From the understanding of what you said, the Germans will take action against Russia. And just now you said that you will not join the military alliance led by Germany and Austria. This is somewhat inconsistent." Careful.

Zhang Peilun discovered the problem.

"This is not contradictory at all. If one day, the Russian government is no longer an ally of Britain and France, this will be our opportunity. At that time, the Army of the Chinese Republic will launch military operations against Russia. Remember one sentence, Russia must not

Don't worry, as for the specific situation, due to various reasons, I can't tell you clearly, but I hope you can believe me." Xu Jie naturally already knew the Germans' private actions, but also, in order to ensure that this plan can proceed smoothly,

Xu Jie cannot reveal it.

"Even if the Dutch East Indies were acquired by us, our country's development still needs oil, especially the heavy chemical industry. Oil is not only a cheap fuel, but more importantly, various chemicals can be extracted from it. The development of the country is inseparable.

To develop oil, coal alone is not enough." After hearing Xu Jie's words, Zhan Tianyou, who had been silent, expressed his objection.

"Of course, Minister Zhan doesn't need to worry about this. China is actually not short of oil. You can organize a group of people to look for it at the location written in this document. I can guarantee that here we will find enough fuel for the development of the country.

I even thought of a name, just Daqing." Xu Jie promised with a smile.
Chapter completed!
