The British absolutely did not believe that they could make the Americans stop with a single word, and the Americans may not have much idea about the islands now, but the Americans would definitely take a tough stance towards China. And if both sides are tough, they need to find a suitable step for each other. And the British believed that in order to avoid the situation in the Far East from developing in an uncontrollable direction, it was necessary for themselves to make a step for these two great powers! The mediation of "the world's largest power today" is enough to save face.

As a colonial empire that has lasted for hundreds of years, the British can definitely describe their skill in the field of diplomacy. Because of the huge gap between the bottom line between China and the United States, it is impossible to directly get the two sides to strike their troops. However, it is possible to adopt a method that can be agreed upon by both sides, that is, to temporarily stop the projection of forces on the front line, although the Americans have one less capital ship, but the auxiliary warships are superior, and they have several patrol ships, although this thing is not of much use in a decisive battle, but is it not now to seize the island? There should be an advantage for the light cruisers of the Huaxia Navy. So...... If the size of the fleet is limited, the possibility of making a big fuss will be smaller. At the same time, it can also allow both parties to calm down and think about how to end.

The British idea is good, but what about the actual effect? It's really good! The Huaxia Navy was very close to the front line, and it already had a geographical advantage, and its own forward fleet was much stronger than the other side. In such a situation, which could limit the level of conflict and at the same time maintain superiority, the proposal of the British was accepted. And what about the Americans? The reason why Wilson chose support with great fanfare was that he was afraid that the forward fleet would suffer a loss, and now, although he suffered a little loss, at least the balance of power was guaranteed. And, more importantly, Americans need time to prepare. So the proposal of the British was also accepted for the time being. In this way, the main fleets of the United States and Britain did not leave the existing bases. The Chinese fleet was stationed in the port of Kaohsiung, while the American fleet remained ......... on the west coast.

Although both sides did not continue to send fleets. However, the fleet that has been dispatched is busy with work, and the Americans have no idea about the islands that China has occupied, but in order to keep the islands that are still under the control of the United States and Britain. Americans are very concerned. The two sides seem to have reached a tacit agreement that neither should use firearms that could lead to an exacerbation of the conflict, but the two sides will use cold weapons, such as sticks and so on. Of course, these are trifles, and the real test of a country's navy is the blockade of islands and *.

Some islands have not yet been occupied, and some islands do not have enough provisions. In this case, both sides need to send transport ships for transportation. And at this time, these light warships responsible for transportation and blockade will have to show how to drive the other side away from the channel. How to make an effective ram when the situation is right. The two sides communicate with cold weapons on the ground. Communicate with the bow of a ship as well at sea!

The tonnage of the armored cruisers of the Americans was huge. And the light cruisers of the Huaxia Navy were more flexible. If you can bump into it, you will hit it, and if you can't bump it, you will dodge. If one could look down on several conflict zones from the air, they would find out. The warships of both sides maneuvered quickly at sea like ancient cavalry, and occasionally made ramming movements. And if this situation continues to develop, the result is still likely to be played. The armored cruisers of the Americans did much more aggressively. The Huaxia Navy, on the other hand, requisitioned some civilian ships with a large tonnage as "shock cruisers"! An armored cruiser with a tonnage of 15,000 does not have any advantage in the face of a civilian ship with a tonnage of more than 20,000 tons. After all, the battleships of this plane no longer have ......... angle of attack.

In just one week, three warships of the Chinese Navy and the U.S. Navy were each hit and returned to the dock for repairs, and a number of wounded men appeared in the confrontation between the shore personnel of the two sides, so the British came again. In the name of neutrality, the wounded on both sides were rescued. …。

"This will not work, although the two sides have limited the size of the front-line fleet, but this conflict has become full of gunpowder. If it was peacetime, the British Empire did not care about the conflict between the two, but for now. We cannot allow the United States to turn its attention from Europe to Asia, let alone allow the Huaxia Republic to form an alliance with the Allies, and we must try to stop this as much as possible. If, next year, we do not receive more effective support from the United States, we will be very passive on the battlefield. The Americans had already moved the forces that had been escorting the convoy to the Pacific Ocean, which made the attack of German submarines two percent more efficient. In the face of the intensifying conflict between the two sides, Jericho expressed his concern in his report to the British cabinet.

The British also wanted to put an end to this dangerous situation as soon as possible, because whatever happened was something that the British Empire did not want to see. Just as the British were thinking about how to cool down these two powers next, a country that had been forgotten by the great powers began to stir again! The country has almost lost its blood in several wars...... Even Hokkaido is currently under the control of the Russians, Japan!. …。

When the Chinese Republic clashed with the Americans, the happiest person was Japan, apart from the Allies! Now that there is finally another behemoth to challenge the Huaxia Republic, what could be better than a suppressed and almost breathless Japan? Moreover, this time it is the United States, which is much stronger than Russia and the Netherlands, and the United States has more industrial capacity than China, and at the same time the total tonnage of the navy is also superior. This seems to Japan to be a good opportunity to bring down Huaxia.

Of course, as for whether the Americans will start a full-scale war with China over a few islands thousands of miles away, and how will they treat Japan after the war with China? The Japanese don't even think about these questions, or they think that what they think must be what the United States does! Japanese people think about things with too much subjectivity! It's the same in that plane. For example, in the nine-dan operation, torpedoes are used to carry out night attacks on ultra-long ranges. The 93 acid torpedo is really good in terms of range, speed, and power, and as the only aspect in which the United States did not surpass Japan in the final war, the Japanese torpedo does have the capital to be proud of.

But the problem is,Even if it's advanced,There's a limit.,Although the book has built a large number of destroyers that focus on lightning strikes.,Although the book plans to concentrate on a large number of destroyers to project a large number of torpedoes.,Although Japan even plans to use cruisers to open the way for the lightning strike fleet.,But in fact, this weapon simply doesn't have the ability to engage in the vast sea at night.,Not to mention,How do you determine the American fleet at night more than ten kilometers away is a problem that is not easy to solve at the end of World War II.。 Not to mention the torpedoes that no one operated, but in 1944 during the Battle of the Marianas. The lights of the American fleet are all on and it is convenient to come back, and the late landing of planes is a disaster! As a result, there were more American planes that had accidents that night than those that were shot down by the book during the day! …。

And there are stability problems with this kind of torpedo, well, the vast majority of torpedoes in World War 2 have stability problems, and the fuses of the Americans are even more problematic, generally speaking, the problem of firing a hundred torpedoes accounts for about one-third to one-half of the total! In the actual combat of the 2 wars, the accuracy of Japan's ultra-long-range torpedo attacks was really miserable.

According to the Japanese idea, the Japanese torpedo in the night battle will fire about 130 torpedoes in distance and close combat, and it is expected to hit 20 rounds and severely damage 10 battleships of the opposing side. And what about the actual performance? Let's not talk about the distance, purely judging from the performance of Japanese torpedo hits at various distances in World War 2, the hit of this weapon was not even 7%! This also includes the hit rate achieved in several extremely close engagements, such as the Battle of Kuah. In more than twenty engagements, there were many times when a single shot was missed.... …。

The Japanese have always wanted each other to act according to their own wishes, and it cannot be said that Japan has not produced talents with a very vicious strategic vision, but in general, after the death of Ito Hirobumi's generation. Japan's strategic talent is almost non-existent. This is especially true of this historical plane, where the Japanese want to use this opportunity to bring the two great powers to war and profit from it. But he didn't seriously think about how Japan would end up if it was to play too big. …。

Except for a hypothesis...... Japan is also characterized by a typical gambling character, let's talk about the latter, the Japanese are historically a connoisseur who plays small and big, plus all kinds of old people. For example, the Battle of Toshima in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War in history, and the sneak attack on Lushun in the Russo-Japanese Naval War. The victories of the sneak attacks again and again made the Japanese feel the sweetness of this. Like a drug-addicted addict, they pin their hopes of victory on an all-out sneak attack, rather than on a comparison of national strength.

In fact, according to the Western strategic system. It is the strength of the country that determines the outcome of the war, not one or two battles, and the British Germans realized early on that the famous iron-blooded prime minister even said that Germany is a man who can stand up again if he is defeated, while his opponent is a woman who cannot stand up once he is defeated. That's why he started the Franco-Prussian War.

The reason why Japan won the two wars is actually implicit in the principle. The Qing Dynasty was strong in the outside world, and it was impossible for Russia to concentrate all its efforts in the Far East. But then, Japan finally felt that the sneak attack would win the victory, and finally launched a sneak attack on the Americans on December 8, 1941! There is a saying that you will have to pay it back sooner or later! After infuriating the American cowboys, what Japan had accumulated for 50 years was wiped out by angry Americans. Therefore, Japan's overall strategy is wrong, and the idea of vainly trying to decide the outcome of a war with a sneak attack is naïve! …。
