After Su Xiong's two warships were damaged, he couldn't return home, and now he is nesting in a bay in Africa to lick his wounds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow there is no heavy oil in the rotten streets of the Persian Gulf, and we can only live on coal from the inferior coal mines in Africa, and even the coal is not enough, so far each ship has only replenished more than 1,000 tons of coal, which is really not enough for the Scharnhorst brothers! Such was the advantage of the British Empire.

There is no way to carry out effective maintenance, there are not enough sufficient supplies, and there are two other queens wandering around the Indian Ocean to prepare for the replenishment of knives, in this case, it would be good for Su Xiong to hide, who would dare to continue to hunt those merchant ships, his two battleships are much higher than those merchant ships in terms of cost and strategic value! Therefore, under the circumstance that Su Xiong's fleet was deliberately hidden, the British really did not find Su Xiong's ...... with just two queens and a few light cruisers. After all, the Indian Ocean is so spicy, where do you find it?

"Okay, okay, don't explain, let's get down to business first, Major General Thomas is in charge of the Indian Ocean affairs, and you should urge him and let him move quickly." Asquith had a defeated look on his face.

"Okay, no problem." However, unlike the Prime Minister, Churchill now wants to get Thomas back to the town house as soon as possible, not to continue to play hide and seek with Suchon in the Indian Ocean. The temptation to take out the Suchon fleet was great, but the overstretched situation at home made Churchill even more worried! Who knows how long it will take to take out the Suchon fleet? Luckily, maybe tonight's telegram of victory in the battle will come, and then the top brass of the Navy will be so excited that they can't sleep all night, and they can't even drink rum! If you're unlucky? Maybe a few more months, who knows!

What should I do when I encounter this kind of thing that I want to solve but don't have enough time and manager? Naturally, I took a break from doing more important things, and then subcontracted this thing to others! Anyone who has played finance knows that there are so many kinds of financial products and packaging segmentation. That's because of this!

"We have a big difference with the Japanese now, on the one hand, I think the Japanese asking price is too high, and on the other hand, the Japanese pay too little, and there is a big gap between the expectations of both sides. We're trying, but it's hard to say how long it will take to get results. Prime Minister Asquith said helplessly.

"I'm damned! This matter has been talked about since before the war, and it has been more than 2 years since it was talked about, right? Still haven't talked about it yet? "Churchill knows some insiders, as the world's largest empire, the strategic level of the British Empire is absolutely powerful, and even since the end of the Russo-Japanese War, Britain has already attached great importance to the little brother it has supported, and in order to deal with the war with Germany, the British have naturally been prepared for a long time, and the negotiation time is longer than Churchill knew, but until now, the two sides have not negotiated!

"If Japan wants us to recognize the German islands they have occupied, this is not inadmissible. Although the strategic location of these islands is really important. Churchill said, touching his chin. Then he saw the Prime Minister, who was sitting on the throne, looking at him with a strange look....... Churchill was a little ...... in his heart.

"If it were just this condition, we would have agreed on the spot, the Japanese have a very big appetite, very big! Until now, we don't know what the hole cards of the Japanese are. They are like a pack of wolfdogs, insatiable! Sitting in the Far East watching us coldly, and then waiting for our offer! Asquith shook his head and said, his tone full of dissatisfaction with the Japanese.

Originally, the British were not satisfied with the Japanese occupation of some of the German islands, because the location of these islands was too important, which made the Japanese naval base system advance thousands of nautical miles to the south and east! It's almost to the Central Pacific, it's already enough to reach the edge of Australia, and it's close to the Dutch East Indies, and now everyone is an ally and naturally easy to talk to.

But the British had to consider the security of their colonies and their interests in the Pacific, Japan controlled these places, and then it was the hegemon of the entire Western Pacific, and even if the war ended, the declining British Empire would never be able to compete with Japan in the Far East, not because of insufficient combat effectiveness, but because the money bag was empty...... So the British were very dissatisfied with Japan's actions!

But what the British never imagined was that when the British high-level held N meetings, tore up many times at the venue, and finally agreed to recognize Japan's occupation of these islands and prepare to exchange for Japan's support, the Japanese actually disagreed! This is something that has never happened in the centuries-old history of the British Empire! A small country, how can it be so unpopular not to buy the face of the British Empire!

However, the Japanese did not agree, and the British Empire had no choice, the so-called, people had to bow their heads under the roof, and the current Japan was also a pivotal power in the Far East, and with the current situation of the British Empire, there was really no way to ...... Japan. What's more, there is a demand for Japan now, not only the navy, but also the army needs a lot of cannon fodder!

For the cannon fodder of the army, the Japanese Empire is very generous, anyway, the British are in charge of food, housing, weapons and training, and even the freight is paid by the British, and an elite soldier is more than 50 pounds! That's a lot of money! A division of red deer can make up a dreadnought, besides, there are really a lot of people in Japan, so it doesn't matter if you throw a little! But for the Navy? The Japanese government adheres to the principle of "never damage a warship"!

Of course, the more important reason was that the Japanese thought that the British Empire's offer was not sincere enough! The Japanese thought very clearly, although if the Entente did not win, the islands would have to be spit out. This is indeed a problem for Japan, but at most it is a long-term concern, not a near-term concern! And now Britain is at war, at a time of life and death, at this time you simply admit that it is like letting Japan die? What do you think? How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Look at how ferocious the German fleet was! His two fearless ships were reimbursed in minutes, Thomas brought the most ruthless queens of the British Empire to find a field, but it was useless, if the Japanese Navy went up, the German Navy might be a little uproar, and Japan would sink a capital ship! What a risk!

And the Japanese also vaguely realized that if the Germans fought better this time, then Japan might be able to gain greater benefits! A benefit that can still be considered a big profit even if you lose the German colony!
