Davidson's telegram was not long, and the content was not very detailed, but it was enough for Xu Jun to understand what was going on.

"I've changed my mind now, my honorable Excellency, and I think I need a cup of coffee now." After listening to the German Führer's story, Attlee felt that his brain was a little deprived of oxygen.

"Eric, bring him a pot of coffee." Xu Jun turned his head to the adjutant and said.

"Thanks, I hope it can be a little stronger." Attlee held up a hand in remind.

"Yes, please wait, Lord Attlee, my Führer." Tysenhofen walked out of the reception room and closed the door.

Attlee looked up at the alabaster sculpture adorning the roof, digesting what he had just heard, Xu Jun lowered his head and played with the platinum cufflinks on his shirt, not disturbing the British envoy's train of thought, and the reception room fell into an eerie silence for a while.

"My Führer." Weierle's voice sounded in the corner of the room, and Xu Jun hurriedly turned his head to look.

"The order has been delivered, and if you allow it, I would now like to go to the communications office and wait for a response." The Chief of Staff stood up and reported.

"Go ahead, please notify me immediately if there is any new news." Xu Jun nodded and agreed.

"I'll call Colonel Dougan to come and replace me, is there anything else I need?" My Führer. "Wehrle put on his military cap.

"Not yet, General Weierle." The Führer shook his hand.

"Well, I'll let you know in person as soon as I have news, hey! Reinhart! Verrle saluted, opened the door and walked out of the room.

"I'm sorry, your Excellency, but I was distracted." Attlee looked like he had just woken up from a dream and leaned over to apologize to Xu Jun.

"It's okay, I was as surprised as you when I got the news." The German Führer waved his hand magnanimously.

"May I take the liberty of asking you Germany's attitude towards this matter?" Attlee asked cautiously.

"Germany's attitude?" Xu Jun reclined on the back of the sofa, his elbow resting on the armrest covered in soft leather.

"Yes, that's your attitude." Attlee nodded.

"I can't make a decision on this matter right now." Xu Jun twisted his body in the sofa, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and said with his left hand supporting his cheek.

"How come, isn't this a very serious diplomatic incident?" Attlee exaggerated his mouth.

"Your Excellency Attlee, how do you think the British Cabinet and Parliament will react to this?" The German Führer asked rhetorically.

"I can't predict that yet, and I don't know if London has known about it. As is customary, the Prime Minister convenes a cabinet meeting, and the upper and lower houses of parliament discuss the matter at the same time. Although it was an incident in distant China, considering that the British Empire had not been so directly violated in Asia for nearly half a century, Parliament would have responded quite strongly. "Attlee is a veteran politician with a deep understanding of the prevailing thinking in Britain right now.

Although the British Empire was unfortunately defeated, it did not mean that they would give up the pride and dignity of the Britons.

Britain, both official and private, were trying to justify their defeat, and simply touting how strong Germany was was clearly not enough to balance their self-esteem. Nowadays, the streets of London are filled with all kinds of tabloids, with all kinds of insider stories, with headlines that are either revealing secrets or secret records, and the content is so detailed and detailed that it makes people wonder if the guy who wrote the article has infiltrated the archives of the Houses of Parliament.

Attlee was well aware that behind these newspapers stood the current British government, and that the author might have been a member of the House of Lords or even a former confidant of Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Otherwise, how could an ordinary tabloid writer know so much confidential information that ordinary people would not have access to.

Hearing that Churchill is crouching in the Tower of London to write his memoirs, the former prime minister is ready to take all the responsibility for the war, which may be unfair to him, but someone has to carry the pot.

It seems to be a bit far away, just to show that the current British Empire is in the most fragile and sensitive period of the people's spirit, and the Germans are very aware of this in the old-fashioned way, don't look at how arrogant Reichenau usually behaves, at this time, as the supreme commander of the German occupation forces in Britain, he has behaved extremely low-key during this time, and will not easily step out of the door of the barracks.

It can be expected that this incident in the Far East will be regarded by the British people as a blatant provocation against the British Empire, and may even be extended to the contempt and ridicule of the Anglo-Saxon nation by the Japanese nation.

"What do you think will be the UK's tough response?" Xu Jun moved his legs away and gave way to Tysenhofen, who was holding the tray.

"This is the coffee you wanted, Lord Attlee. I have a glass of warm milk for you, my Führer. Tysenhofen put the coffee and snacks in the tray on the coffee table, and put a cup of steaming milk in front of Xu Jun.

"Thank you, Eric." Xu Jun nodded and thanked the attentive adjutant.

"It depends on what the meeting and the prime minister think, and I can't make an accurate prediction right now." Attlee nodded to Tysenhofen in thanks, then picked up the coffee pot and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"I hope to get in touch with London as soon as possible, and Prime Minister Chamberlain will certainly ask you about your attitude on this matter, how can I reply to Your Excellency the Prime Minister?" Attlee was not ready to die, and it was true that the attitude of the German Führer was very important in this matter.

As relations between Japan and Britain drifted apart, they began to cooperate with Germany, and the two countries continued to have close contacts, and the British intelligence agency investigation pointed out that there may have been a secret alliance between Germany and Japan, and it was likely that they were ready to join forces to divide the colonial interests of the Far East.

However, judging from the current situation, it is not at all what is written in the report, and Attlee believes that MI6 has once again proved with facts that this agency is full of rubbish, and the so-called intelligence analysis experts are completely unreliable.

In the past six months, Germany has had several conflicts with Japan, and the German Führer has always been very tough in dealing with the aftermath, which is not at all like an attitude towards its allies.

"You can tell Chancellor Neville Chamberlain that Germany and Britain are allies, and whatever decision Britain makes, Germany will stand firmly on Britain's side." Xu Jun put down the milk cup, picked up the small napkin on the table and wiped his lips.

"If Britain is attacked by a foreign enemy—" Attlee's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Lord Attlee, you don't need to remind me of this, there is already a treaty of alliance between our two countries, isn't it? In the event that Britain was attacked by other countries, the Greater German Reich and its allies would provide Britain's support with all their might, and vice versa. Xu Jun spread out his left hand and shrugged his shoulders.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency. I was completely relieved to receive such a clear answer from you. Attlee respectfully thanked him, and with the German Führer's assurance, the British Cabinet was more emboldened to deal with the matter.

"However, I do not think that the present situation of the British Empire is suitable for the time being to launch any large-scale military action in the Far East. Unless we have evidence to prove that the armed conflict initiated by the Japanese Army in Shanghai was indeed aimed at British interests in the Far East, and was a premeditated government action, we cannot consider it an act of war against the British Empire. Xu Jun said with a serious expression.

"Of course, Your Excellency, of course." Attlee nodded in agreement.

"As you say, it is true that the British Empire cannot afford a war thousands of miles away at present, and I personally think that it is better to use diplomatic means to resolve this matter, and I hope that Germany will be in line with the British government in this matter." Attlee removed the coffee cup.

"I think I've made it very clear just now that Germany will be on the side of its allies. I also support your view that Britain should resolve this incident diplomatically, because Japan has a fairly strong armed presence in the Far East, and for the time being we are not in a position to engage in direct military confrontation with it in the Asian region. Xu Jun poked his fingers at the armrest of the sofa.

"Your Excellency, I think that it is time for us to come to a consensus that the Japanese Empire is regarded as a real threat to Europe, a country that has embarked on a pathological path of development, which sooner or later will encroach on the interests of European nations in their colonies in Asia. And as far as I know, there have been a series of changes in Japan during this time, which are very disturbing. Attlee said.

"I agree with you, Lord Attlee. I have also taken note of these problems, which is why I have sent a special mission to Japan, in the hope of reaching an agreement with Japan that is acceptable to all, and that will guarantee the security and stability of the European colonies in Asia as far as possible within reasonable limits. ”

"As long as they continue the war of aggression against China, the situation in Asia will not be stable. I think it's time to sober up the already hot heads of the Japanese, and make them understand that if they want to challenge European countries, they will pay an unbearable price. I have heard that there is a pan-Asianism in Japan that claims to liberate Asia from the European colonizers, and it is absurd that they are saying this while burning and looting the territory of the Chinese. Attlee said with a sneer.

Hearing Attlee's sarcasm, Xu Jun finally couldn't hold back his complaints, the Japanese did not learn from you British, using force to occupy the territory of other countries, plundering the wealth of the other party, and enslaving the other party's citizens, but in turn said that he brought the seeds of civilization to the other party and spread advanced ideas and systems.

Historically, the diehard red deer who survived Japan's post-war war still refused to admit defeat, and have been proclaiming vigorously that Japan is following the path that the Western powers have always taken.

The Japanese only looked at the history of the expansion of the European colonizers and obtained some advanced military science and technology of Western countries, and thought that they had learned the essence of the Western colonizers. They never seriously considered why the greedy and powerful Western colonizers, when faced with the largest and richest countries in Asia, were content with free trade rights and a few concession colonies.

The blood-boiling Showa red deer thought that they were invincible under the blue sky, so they rushed towards Chinese mainland without hesitation, and when they figured out that the taste was wrong, they were already mired in the quagmire and could not climb out.

"You're right, Your Excellency Attlee, you should really calm the heads of the Japanese, but I don't think it's a good idea to use force to threaten us, we could have a better alternative..."Xu Jun said to Attlee with a smile.
