"This condition is acceptable. We have obtained funds and a new colony, standing with the most powerful alliance of great powers in the world, and blocking the Americans' way to move westward. What we need to pay is just some soldiers. I think this deal is quite good. What about your opinion? Lord Hirahachiro Togo?" Hirobuki Ito said.

"The navy can perform escort missions and German missions, and it is also possible to send frigates and auxiliary fleets to the Mediterranean. It is even impossible to send a small number of main battleships into the Mediterranean. However, I still have all my concerns about the elite fleet entering the North Sea. It is a battle between giants. Even if it is a relatively weak German, its inadvertent blow will cost the Japanese Navy a heavy price." Hirahachiro Togo said.

Hirahachiro Togo was still very accurate. The so-called fight between two elephants was the lawn on the ground. Although the Germans were weaker, when they were really large-scale fleets, they would just click a dreadnought, which was just a little time and a little luck. The British decisively sent three battlecruisers in the Battle of Jutland. This was not a damaging blow to the British Empire. If you try it if you switch to the Japanese Navy? If 4 King Kongs were killed at once, the Japanese Navy would probably be closed soon, right?

"Since that's the case, we can only expect the army to send more people." Hirobu Ito nodded, agreeing with Hiro Togo's statement. After all, the Japanese Navy's warships are still very precious, and these fleets are the cornerstones to ensure the security of the Japanese archipelago. If the navy is severely damaged, even if Japan and the Allies stand together, the Americans dare to seize Japan's colonies, and the blacksmith must be strong. If Japan does not have the ability to resist the Americans, the Allies will not help the Japanese seize these islands!

Although the final result showed some deviations, the two countries were still acceptable in general direction. Language, equipment and tactical systems may be a problem, but overall, if there were years of running-in, it would not be a problem. In history, did the British, French and Portuguese coalition forces still lie together in the trenches on the Western Front to fight against the Germans? Didn’t the French black army also go to the battlefield? The languages ​​within a regiment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are not unified, so don’t they continue to fight? (Okay, this is a bit far-fetched--!)

On the issue of equipment, the Japanese also decided to popularize British and French equipment training for future reserve personnel. After some thought, the Japanese still decided to choose French equipment. This was because at the beginning, the Japanese army had studied under the French army. Another reason was that France was a major army power, and it was not much equipment. It was more convenient to obtain equipment if it really fought. According to the agreement, when Britain and France believed that it was necessary to prepare for war, Japan should concentrate at least 50,000 trained officers and soldiers on board within 3 days to form the first batch of Japanese troops to the European army.

This requirement seems very high, but it is not difficult at all. You should know that after the war started in history, Australia and New Zealand rushed to Europe for 32,000 people! As a large population country and a regional power with a large-scale army, it is really not difficult to concentrate 50,000 people without having to bring weapons when preparing.

Finally, on November 8, 1907, the two countries signed the "Wartime Mutual Assistance Agreement between the Allies and the Japanese Empire" in Tokyo, Japan. After signing this agreement, Japan's position in the entire Allies system rose to fourth place, second only to Russia. It was even higher than Italy that Britain and France had tried their best to win over before.

Just four months after the signing of this agreement, the Japanese Navy finally ordered the King Kong-class battlecruiser, the last class of the Japanese Navy's history, at the Armstrong Shipyard. The warships were very favorable to Japan and were sold to Japan at a cost price. Half of the funds for Japan to purchase warships came from British loans! So much so that British newspapers exclaimed at that time that they almost bought the most newest battlecruiser in the British Empire at the cost of Asama-class armored cruisers.

"Damn British, they finally stood with the Japanese and became the biggest enemy of the United States of America!" When Roosevelt heard the relevant information, anger and unwilling roar came from the office from time to time. Another indirect result of this incident was that for a long time, the door between the United States and the Allies was completely closed. Unless the Allies were disbanded, it would be impossible for the United States, Britain, France and Russia to reconcile on the issue of grand strategy. First of all, Japan alone could not get around!

"The most important thing is that once war begins, the Japanese will definitely attack the German Far East colony, and our fleet in the Far East cannot rob the Japanese! Now Japan is building and close to completion, there are four dreadnought ships, two of which are super fearless. In addition to the four battlecruisers and components that were just ordered from the British not long ago, the strength of the Japanese Navy will rise to a rather terrifying level." Admiral Benson, the deputy commander of the navy, said anxiously.

"Can we exchange more economic costs for Germany to deliver all the territory in advance?" Benson asked after thinking.

"This is absolutely impossible. The Germans do not trust us, so they will definitely leave enough chips in their hands, and the colonies in the Far East are their biggest chips." Roosevelt shook his head and said.

"So do you think if the war is over and the Germans win, they will fulfill their promises?" Benson asked.

"They will, the Germans were not interested in the Far East, and even after the war, they needed loans from the United States of America to survive the economic crisis. So if nothing unexpected happens, they will fulfill their promise."

"If this is the case, Germany cannot lose the war, at least it can be a draw." Benson thought for a while and said. Unless the President is ready to fight the Japanese Navy!

"I partially agree with your opinion, but I still don't want Germany to take the opportunity to grow bigger this time. Don't underestimate Germany's energy and development prospects." Roosevelt hesitated and said. Although the United States hates Japan very much, it is not ready to fight with Japan, so Roosevelt is more inclined to force Japan to spit out the food after the war ends.

In the end, before the war, the entire world pattern had basically been formed, Britain, France, Russia and Japan formed the core of the Allied system, Belgium and the Balkan countries became peripheral members of the Allied countries, Germany, Austria and Turkey formed the Allied Group, and the Italians were still licking their wounds while considering that they should stand there. The United States was tending to be neutral.
