"The British Empire and Japan are both maritime countries, and for maritime countries, the most important cornerstone of national security is the fleet! The British Empire can tolerate the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops in the 6th army, but can it withstand the defeat of the large fleet? No! Britain cannot, nor can we. Your country requires us to provide naval assistance. This time, what we are dealing with is not the corrupt Qing Dynasty, Russia, or Americans who don't know anything! Instead, fighting with the German navy!"&1t;/p>

"To be honest, when our Satsuma-class battleship was sunk in the Gulf of Aden, I was shocked. This reminded me of the fact that a German armored cruiser killed one of our fleets during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and the nightmare that the Munich armored cruiser brought to the empire in the Dadonggou naval battle and a series of subsequent battles! This is simply terrifying. Can you understand that a warship can make a country quite helpless? I think it may be difficult for you to understand, but General Thomas and General Betty of your country should have a deep feeling."&1t;/p>

Speaking of this, Kanetaro showed some fearful expression on his face. "From that time, we began to pay attention to the German Navy, a country that had not jumped at sea before, and then we bought Asama-class armored cruisers through various means."&1t;/p>

"From the Asama to the later Liurik 2 battleship, we felt the strength of the German fleet from time to time of actual combat. In addition, Germany's strong industry and national strength, although it is separated from each other by the entire Eurasian 6, the empire is definitely unwilling to have a head-on conflict with Germany."&1t;/p>

"Especially after General Thomas failed to encircle and suppress the enemy, and in the North Sea, your navy was severely damaged, some influential figures in the country have begun to question the value of the British-Japanese alliance. We cannot benefit from this alliance. When we have a dispute with our opponents, our allies do not help us, but instead ask us to face powerful enemies."&1t;/p>

"Maybe the high seas fleet is still far inferior to the large fleet, but if it really happens at sea, the opponent's inadvertent blow may cause irreparable losses to the empire. Did you see the King Kong battlecruiser from your country's Amster Shipyard in the distance?" Kanetaro pointed to the last large warship ordered from the UK in a short distance.&1t;/p>

"If it weren't for the bad relationship between Germany and Japan, if it weren't for the United States and Germany as alliances, we wouldn't even order warships from your country! In terms of performance, we recognize German goods more! And like such warships, the Germans killed three ships in a naval battle! Three ships! In less than an hour, thousands of lives of officers and soldiers, the cost of more than 70,000 pounds, and tens of thousands of tons of steel disappeared from the sea."&1t;/p>

"When the Japanese Empire faces such risks, your country is so stingy, so I want to say that your country's opinions are simply unacceptable." Kanetaro said at last.&1t;/p>

"So what conditions do you plan to accept? I am bluntly, every inch of land in the British Empire and the French Republic cannot be sold! This is the bottom line. If you want these, then we will not be able to negotiate!" Lloyd George also knew that the negotiations had reached the final time to turn the trump card, so when answering Katsura, the British Envoy was also very serious.&1t;/p>

"Please move to the captain's room." Kanetaro didn't say anything nonsense. After saying that, he directly led the British to the bridge. At this moment, he could feel his nervousness very clearly. A trace of cold sweat emerged from his hands. The final resolution of the Japanese cabinet had been proposed three days ago. Whether the empire can get what he wants in this war depends entirely on this struggle! The Japanese don't want to really talk about collapse. If the collapse is a zero-sum game, Japan needs to rely on the big trees of the Allied Kingdom to fight against the United States.&1t;/p>

In the captain's room, a huge curtain covered half of the wall, and on the table in the middle, a huge sand table from the Far East was placed. When he came to the sand table, Kanetaro looked at Lloyd, who was also nervous. George said, "What else do you have to ask for? Let me ask now."&1t;/p>

"The territory of East Asia should not change, and the colonies of Britain and France should not be violated." Lloyd George thought for a while and said that the territory of East Asia should not change, and the implication was already very clear. Then, except for the colonies of Britain and France, there is nothing in the entire Far East, right? The British envoy thought to himself.&1t;/p>

"Okay, no problem, we can accept this request." Kanetaro nodded and said with great certainty.&1t;/p>

"The differences between us seem to be smaller than expected." Lloyd George smiled slightly and expressed satisfaction with the other party's answer. But when he noticed that Katsura's eyes gradually moved to the continuous island in southern Southeast Asia, Lloyd George's face turned pale!&1t;/p>

"What we want is here!" Without waiting for the British to react, Kashitaro walked a few steps to the huge curtain and pulled the huge curtain open! Then a huge map was presented in front of Lloyd George, representing the red area of ​​Japan extending down from the southern part of Sakhalin Island, first from the Japanese mainland, then from the Philippines, and then from the downwards were the continuous islands that Japan had stolen from Germany. At the bottom, and at the same time the largest area was the entire Dutch East India!&1t;/p>

Until now, the British finally understand what the Japanese want to get! They did not intend to take action against East Asia because it was too difficult, but directly chose another country that had declined in Europe to take action! What they did was exactly the same as the United States back then! The Netherlands! The Japanese wanted to drive the Netherlands out of the Far East!&1t;/p>

Lloyd George felt a chill of air rushing directly from his tailbone to his head! "This is simply too bad! The Netherlands is a neutral country, we can't do anything to him." Lloyd George said subconsciously.&1t;/p>

"So what about a neutral country? Isn't your country also restricting the sea transportation of the Netherlands? As far as I know, as a transit station, the Netherlands provides Germany with a large amount of raw materials and materials. This is already the enemy's behavior, and what can it do if we fight with the Netherlands? A country that has completely declined into a fourth-rate market is no longer worthy of enjoying such huge colonies and resources in the Far East. These things should provide a new empire!" At this moment, Katsura did not feel any vain and slander, but said in a very tough attitude!&1t;/p>

"This is the condition we mentioned. We don't even have to send troops from your country. We will do it ourselves. As long as you don't interfere and can admit it in the end." Kanetaro said.&1t;/p>
