Although Taiwan was occupied by the Japanese, Britain, France and the United Kingdom, did not react much, and thought Taiwan was no longer important. Taiwan was very important. Not only in the future, when aircraft became the main force of naval warfare, even in this era, the Taiwan Strait was restricted and the important nodes around the Chinese island chain, the road from Japan and Southeast China to Malacca, once locked, at least East Asia and Southeast Asia will become independent parts. This poses a huge threat to the global strategy of the great powers, especially the East Asia strategy. Neither Britain, France nor the United States would watch it fall into the hands of the enemy.

If Taiwan is in the hands of the Japanese, this is nothing. Even if this island is very important, Japan will not be able to use it against Britain and France. Japan's ability to develop to this point is basically developed with the support of Britain and France. It can be said without hesitation that before World War I, the great powers led by Britain and France had absolute control over Japan. Japan's government bonds have accumulated over the years, and the amount is huge. As long as these things are in hand, the Japanese are not afraid of disobeying. If these bonds are sold at the first time, the situation in Japan will be turbulent, and there may even be a possibility of returning to the pre-liberation night.

That is, it was played out during the First World War. It seemed that the Allies were defeated, Germany was defeated and surrendered, Austro-Hungary Empire split, and the Balkans completely entered the intention of the Allies. As for Turkey, there was only a little bit of land. The former Ottoman Turkish Empire no longer existed. From this result, the Allies were equally a complete victory, but in fact, not only the Allies were weakened in the First World War, but also Britain and France. The two world-wide powerful countries declined after World War I, and restricted the emergence of the Navy Arms Treaty. Rather than a conference where Britain divided the world's interests, Britain and France could not continue after the huge consumption of World War I. They must have time to lick their wounds, otherwise, there will be another arms race, and the appearance of the foreign strength of Britain and France will be immediately broken, revealing the middle Gan inside.

The United States and Japan really developed in World War I. These two people were less involved in the European battlefield. In the four-year war, they were more engaged in business and earn money. The United States entered the war in the late stage of World War I. That was to win more fruits of victory. As for Japan, the entire war time did not intervene in the war. At most, they divided the German colonies in Asia and seized the fruits of victory. It was World War I that created the rise of the United States and the take-off of Japan.

Japan became a debtor country in one fell swoop. With the help of the huge amount of money earned during the war, he paid off the debts of Britain and France. Instead, he released some of them and spent a certain price. He took off from Britain and France, and then gained status. From the beginning of the Navy Armistice Treaty, he truly became one of the world's powers, and even above Italy. This was why during World War II, Japan joined the Axis powers to fight against the United States and the whole world. Otherwise, if it was still a debtor country, Britain and France would have great influence on him. There was no glory behind Japan at all.

Now, the war has just begun, and Britain and France control nearly a large number of Japanese government bonds. In their eyes, Japan is just an obedient dog. Although sometimes it is not comfortable and not very obedient, if they choose one of the two sides, they will only support Japan.

The Northwest is the enemy, and there is no doubt about Britain, France and the United States. Not to mention the Northwest's unremitting support for the Allies, it depends on the changes that took place in the early stages of the European battlefield. Which one has nothing to do with the Northwest. Without the Northwest, Germany would not be so strong, and even the current situation would not have changed so much.

The world is so big, there are no obvious secrets, and there are no airtight walls. Perhaps in peaceful times, some things can be covered up by using performances of this and that. But now it is a war between the two major groups. They have been hostile for so many years, and they all know that Germany will be so vigorous, which is definitely beyond the expectations of the Allies. This is also the fundamental reason why the Allies suffered a great loss in the early stage.

In international things, there is no need to have obvious evidence. As long as there is doubt, it is enough. Britain, France and the United States have confirmed that, and even the United States have verbally agreed to enter the Allies in some secret occasions, and the country has also started a total battlefield mobilization. If they do not touch the Northwest, it does not mean that they regard the Northwest as an ally. From the beginning of the war, the United States and Japan have divided 80% of the orders, and the remaining 80% flows into the pockets of the Northwest when the United States and Japan cannot fulfill their performance and they have to buy them.

Originally, the Northwest issue needed to stabilize the situation in Europe, the United States participated in the war, and completely suppress Germany. However, now, the Northwest is obviously restless, and even crossed North China and the southern part of the Yangtze River, directly connected to Taiwan thousands of miles away. Even if it was just a prototype, they could not ignore it with the importance of Taiwan.

As diplomatic officials, the three ambassadors were very clear about the importance of Taiwan. The Japanese Foreign Minister saw the expressions of several people, but was extremely excited in his heart. This plan was formulated by him, who opposed the direct increase of troops by the army and the navy. The Japanese were not sensitive, but the Foreign Minister still saw the importance of Taiwan. Sure enough, Britain, France and the United States attached great importance to Taiwan, which was simply great news for Japan.

Since the Russo-Japanese War in 1906, the Japanese won Russia and gained the status of a strong country, but the benefits were not. Russia did not directly pay compensation, not cede land or pay compensation, but only stopped the state of war. This made Japan, who wanted to gain benefits in the war and reappeared the glory of Sino-Japanese War, unacceptable. Fortunately, with the support of Britain, Japan recovered a little.

But then, in the cotton war and the rise of the northwest, one big stick after another hit Japan's head, making me dizzy. Even now, if I have the strength to fight against the northwest in Shandong, most of them are supported and instigated by Britain and France. Without a 22 million pound treasury bond, Japan cannot even send troops to sea.

In the eyes of Japanese Foreign Ministers, the Three Kingdoms are more vigilant about the Northwest compared to Japan, and the Northwest layout of Taiwan is easily seen by the Three Kingdoms as China's pace towards the ocean. Under this situation, the Three Kingdoms have a little benefit, which will make Japan more enjoyable. You can refer to the support of Britain for Japan during the Russo-Japanese War before the Sino-Japanese War.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs provided a strategy and rejected the news of the domestic increase in troops to Taiwan. It will keep it the same for the time being. It depends on the reactions of Britain, France and the United States. Whether Japan can get along well with all the benefits and get enough benefits depends on the next step.

After reading the specimens from Taiwan, the Japanese Foreign Minister took out another report and said, "This was obtained by our intelligence department for a huge effort. Your three ambassadors, let's take a look first!"

The three ambassadors looked at the report given by the Japanese Foreign Minister with a serious expression. In addition to briefly introducing some of the northwest, there were some situations in Taiwan. The current situation in Taiwan has been exaggerated a lot. Wufeng and Nantou were voluntarily abandoned by the Taiwanese army, and there were no one else. It was said that the Northwest Army had occupied it. Wufeng army had tens of thousands, well-equipped, and cannons above 100 mm. As long as Nantou and Wufeng were digested, Taichung would be in danger.

Seeing this, the British ambassador took the initiative to raise objections. The news they had received before was that a small number of Northwest troops had an impact on Taiwan, and it was not the case now.

However, the Japanese ambassador cleverly spoke out and showed Japan's losses. More than 20,000 Japanese troops were wiped out, including four field corpses. The ambassador to Japan knew very well about Japan's military system and what was going on with the Japanese full corps. Although he was a little unbelievable and could not investigate it personally, one thing is certain that Japan must have suffered a great loss, otherwise it would not have been so early in this stage. Perhaps it was impossible to deal with it, so they found them.

What the three ambassadors don’t know is that the current fact of Taiwan is that the two sides are separated by Nantou and Wufeng, one side is in Taichung and Taipei, and the other side is in the Central Mountains, without even contact. The Japanese army in Taichung is almost basking in the sun, and even the special forces do not have much activity.

The lack of information has caused the difference in cognition. The most important thing is that even though the ambassadors of Britain, France and the United States knew that the Japanese were playing rogues, they could not ignore it. They looked at each other without saying anything, and continued to watch.

In the report, in addition to some news from Taiwan, the news about China that the Japanese could get was all out, some were real and some were alarmist. In short, it created an atmosphere, a kind of possible unification of the entire China by the northwest, and Taiwan is the breakthrough for the northwest to move towards the ocean. In the future, when German warships supporting China arrive, the entire East Asia situation will collapse.

Next, three copies of the report were divided into copies, and the ambassadors of the Three Kingdoms took it and sent it back to the country through their respective channels. The current situation in Europe is the focus, which is related to the result of the two major groups' wars. However, defeating each other is also to compete for world hegemony. Otherwise, it would be easy to win, and another powerful country would rise and challenge their status, which is somewhat unacceptable.

Don't defeat Germany by then, a stronger Northwest has appeared. In just a few years, China and the Northwest have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the heavy industry production capacity and military industrial production capacity have risen continuously. Some of this was investigated by them, and some were simply known when orders were placed. After the war began, Britain ordered 200,000 rifles and supporting ammunition from China. As for France, in just two months, it has placed orders of 15 divisions in the northwest, including long and short guns, bullets, artillery, and machine guns. The Northwest took this order without appealing from outside, which means that these weapons can be produced in the northwest. (To be continued.)
