"Hehe, the Americans are really slippery, they use Japan, but they restrict Japan." Ito's words were full of mockery. If the United States had treated Japan well at the beginning, the United States would have hoped to use Japan's military strength to further open the door to the Qing Kingdom, and then facilitate its own entry. So they bought the bonds of the Japanese and provided the Japanese with all kinds of supplies in wartime. (This is a fact).

However, due to Ruprecht's intervention in this plane, especially after the outbreak of the Battle of Toshima, the Germans were caught off guard and easily destroyed 2 Japanese capital ships. This shocked the Americans, if before that, the Americans thought that the American fleet could still wrestle with Germany. And after the end of this battle, the Americans realized that the United States was far inferior to Germany in the ability to fight in the oceans.

After that, the attitude of Russia and France also made the Americans very worried, especially although this matter was suppressed, but the follow-up events have been fermenting, and the British could only temporarily suppress it once, and it was purely a donkey to fall out for Japan and Germany. And the Americans also realized this, and in the face of the sudden grouping of the three countries, the Americans also began to adjust their diplomatic strategies. From a tendency to help to a purely business-oriented.

And when the Lushunkou Massacre occurred, in the articles of survivors and foreigners, Japan became almost like a beast, even if Japan conquered and used all kinds of resources to whitewash itself, but in terms of influence on the West, how can Japan compare with Russia, Germany and France? And this brutal act eventually caused an uproar in the United States.

In the end, the change in the attitude of the US government and the pressure of public opinion led to another thing -- the failure of the treaty exchange between the United States and Japan! The United States and Japan signed many unequal treaties, and after the rise of Japan, it was natural that they wanted to change back, and this incident happened to be due to the outbreak of the Battle of Toshima. On the one hand, the Japanese are really crazy enough, enough is not a thing. On the other hand, the US Government does not trust Japan, which is reckless and reckless, and is it worth the friendship that the Americans should pay for?

The Americans thought about it and thought that it was still not worth it, so they rejected Japan's request for a treaty exchange under the pretext of Japan's massacre at Arthur Pass. And at this time, Japan, which is in a difficult situation both internally and externally, how can it now? In the end, the Japanese minister to the United States, Shinichiro Kurino, could only swallow this bitter fruit. The failure of the Japan-US treaty exchange eventually led to a sudden cooling of the relationship between the United States and Japan, which could continue to warm up! And now what is the purpose of the United States and the three countries, naturally it is also very clear, they want to get benefits from the Qing country through the three countries, and Japan is completely abandoned!

"What about compensation? 200,000,000,000 taels of silver is absolutely no less, and we have now used up all our pre-war reserves, and all the maturing bonds to be repaid and all kinds of deficits add up to about 120 million taels! We need development, we need a lot of money, and if we can't get this money, Japan's future will be unthinkable, and we won't be able to stop Germany at all. If the Three Kingdoms want Japan to give up the Liaodong Peninsula and the island of Taiwan, then let the Qing Kingdom exchange it for silver! Hirobumi Ito said.

"250 million taels of silver! The Empire can waive all colonial claims. "Ito Hirobumi hit the final reserve price, if it is less, in his opinion, this war is equal to fighting in vain!

"What can you do if the other person doesn't agree?" Chamberlain said with a sneer. "Really fight with the Three Kingdoms? Russia will not take the initiative to provoke incidents, and that is because there is no need. And if you dare to do it first, you can give it a try. ”

"What's their bottom line?" Hirofumi Ito's distorted face is extremely hideous!

"Even if you reduce that number by 100 million, they won't be satisfied!" Chamberlain said. "They are going to let Japan die now, like boiling frogs in warm water, and slowly boiling you to death." Hirofumi Ito, who was already quite explicit, did not reply, because he knew that the British would not let Japan die, and if they really planned to abandon Japan, then what was Chamberlain still doing here? Sending Japan to the end? What do you think? Now you must not open your mouth, whoever opens your mouth will suffer!

"Cunning fellow!" Chamberlain looked at Hirobumi Ito, who had been silent, and cursed in his heart, what was the purpose of him starting to say a bunch of things that made the Japanese nervous, and even a little insulting? It's really okay to pull ridicule! If this is the case, what kind of envoy is Chamberlain? Go straight back with the kids!

Chamberlain is waiting for charcoal in the snow! Don't you have no money in Japan? It doesn't matter, the British Empire lent you, isn't it 100 million taels of silver? Is it a lot? The British Empire can throw 200 million pounds at a Boer, and the installment loan of 100 million taels of silver is just a drizzle. Of course, this sweetness can't be given casually, you have to know gratitude and take practical action. Do you understand?

The British formulated a series of economic aid and compensation plans for Japan, involving all aspects of the matter, but the cost was also very large, if Japan agreed, the economic lifeline would almost be in the hands of the British. Japan has really become the knife of the British.

"That's not enough!" Ito Hirobumi took a look at it and threw aside the documents sent by Chamberlain. "You want too much and give too little! We're not dogs, we're wolves, and wolves are meant to eat meat! ”

"Hehe, so you wolf plan to fight with the three tigers once?" Chamberlain looked at Hirobumi Ito, who had completely let go, and there was some shock in his heart! Barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes, what do the Japanese want to do this time?

"We can't afford to provoke the three big countries, even if this matter passes, except for Russia, Japan does not want to offend France and Germany, one of these two countries can give money to the Russians, and the other can provide equipment. With them, it will be difficult for the empire to win against Russia. But Japan must be compensated! I have here a document that you must personally deliver to the Prime Minister, which determines the future of the Far East! Ito took a deep breath, then took out a sealed box and solemnly handed it to Chamberlain.

"If our plan is not supported by the UK, then there is no need for our cooperation to continue. We will negotiate with Russia, we only need Korea, the affairs of the Northeast, your country will handle it yourself! "Hirobumi Ito is now a bit anti-persecution!

"I can't decide on this matter, but I will send it to the prime minister, and we will try to cooperate with Japan's actions, but don't get too much hope for this negotiation." Chamberlain said.
