The Americans are coming, the Spaniards are coming, so the Japanese should be coming. Ruprecht guessed half right, because it was not only the Japanese who came, but also the British! Lord Hamilton of the British Navy accompanied the Japanese Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu to Munich, and this aura alone made His Royal Highness the Prince feel very unhappy, this is no longer like a deal, right?

If the meeting with Dewey was the beginning of Ruprecht's plan, and the meeting with Cerveira was the beginning of the implementation of the plan, then when it came time to face the British and Japanese representatives, it was time to see the real thing! How to say every sentence and what purpose to achieve are carefully considered, although a wrong step may not be a disaster, but the result will definitely not be good! For this reason, Ruprecht prepared for a whole week before officially meeting the two!

"Even though we used to be a little unhappy with each other, we now have a common dislike goal, so I think we can still cooperate with each other. Whether it's an Argentine or a Spaniard, we already know the offer, £790,000! Our offer is even higher than that of the Spaniards. Sell it to us, and you will reap the friendship of our country. ”

Mutsu Somitsu's level is still much stronger than Vera and Dewey, who are half-known diplomats, and they pointed out Russia at the beginning, which made Ruprecht very depressed, and the Russians broke the treaty. You've lost yourself and your company, and there's no better way to get revenge on your opponents. Well, then, sell the battleship to Japan, and we will breathe a sigh of relief for you, the logical chain is so tight that no loopholes can be found.

"It's going to be a good deal, and the British Empire thinks so. Russia is too greedy to be contained, and if you make the right choice, you will reap the favor of the British Empire. Lord Hamilton said to the sidelines.

"Huh." Prince Ruprecht tossed aside the documents sent by the Japanese, his eyes full of contempt and disgust. "At this point, you're still trying to play tricks on me? Really when I'm so easy to fool? Judging by the documents you just handed over, there are pitfalls that we can't accept! ”

"The date you have requested for the completion of the battleship is September 1897, which is three months earlier than our expected completion plan! If we were to accept this agreement, the £20,000 premium you would pay would not be more than enough to pay us for the rush to work. Moreover, your warships will use the guns of the British, and on the whole, we may not be as profitable as selling them to the Spaniards. This is unacceptable from a purely economic point of view, am I really stupid? Or do you think you're too smart? Ruprecht's words were very harsh, and he didn't intend to save face for the two people in front of him.

"And you, Lord of England, what right do you have to say that I will reap the friendship of the British Empire? Even the Minister of the Navy, Hood, probably didn't dare to say such a thing, right? Of course, there is no evidence, you can walk out of this door and not admit it, you have not suffered, and I am being teased by you like a clown. There is no sincerity in your negotiations! The last few words, Ruprecht uttered almost word for word, and the prince's anger was palpable!

"The price and other conditions can be negotiated." Mutsu Munemitsu was a little flustered, Prince Ruprecht's shrewdness was in his expectation, and it was impossible for a mediocre person to take advantage of the situation to make such a big move in the Far East, but intuitively, he could feel that the person opposite seemed to be more terrifying.

"Well, tell me, why do you have to order this ship in such a hurry? Why? Mutsu Munemitsu didn't expect his worries to come true in the next second! Ruprecht's words directly hit Japan's biggest weakness! Why are the Japanese so desperate?

"Don't want to answer, do you? Maybe my curiosity is a little heavier, so be it. £750,000 and we delivered it in March 1898 What do you think? His Royal Highness continued to probe the Prince.

"You know, the pressure that Russia has put on us in the Far East is already very great, and after the outbreak of the Qing-Japanese war, we did not order any new ships except for two second-class battleships. And now that we have such an opportunity in front of us, we naturally do not want to miss it. ”

"From 1890 onwards, the Russians completed several more battleships, plus 1 10,000-ton cruiser and 2 Munich-class armored cruisers that they deployed in the Far East, and the Russians would be far superior in combat power in 1898, so we had to deal with them before they could deploy their forces in the Far East. Your two warships play a vital role in maintaining stability in the Far East. ”

Mutsu Zongguang is really powerful, a logical chain is very complete, and it directly pushes the pot on the Russians, because the Russians are too strong, so we have to expand the army quickly. In the past, there was no money, but now there are bargains, and they have been made half-pulled and half-made, so it is naturally the best choice for the Japanese Navy. So the Japanese are very pressed for time, and there is nothing wrong with this logic.

"You're talking about!" Ruprecht gave him a contemptuous look. But he didn't want to dwell on these issues anymore because they didn't mean anything to him. And some things can't be explained. That's going to happen!

"Lord Hamilton, you just said that I would reap the friendship of the British Empire by selling my battleship to the Japanese, right? Well, then, I believe you, put your so-called friendship on the table, and I'm going to see how much it is worth! His Royal Highness no longer paid attention to the Japanese, but locked his eyes on the Englishman who was a little uneasy on the side!

"! I've never seen such a brazen person, don't you know that this sentence is just politeness? You must have done it on purpose! Lord Hamilton had 10,000 alpacas running wild at this time, but he couldn't show it at this time.

"You are acting on your own behalf, and this kind of behavior should not be done to the prince of a kingdom. It is true that we had some estrangement or misunderstanding in the past, but now, we should give up the hatred of the past. The price issue is not negotiable, if we can ensure that the delivery is carried out according to our time, then it is okay to add some money! This deal would certainly be more appropriate than with Spain. What do you think? ”

Mutsu Zongguang exerted his strength again at the critical moment, the excuse just now did not work, so he could only use interests to convince the opponent, this passage was soft and rigid, only from the point of view of the art of speaking, it has indeed reached the peak level.
