For China, the British and even the entire Allies have a deep resentment. If it weren't for China, Tsarist Russia might not have perished, and the Allies would no longer be in a stalemate with Germany on the Western Front. So much so that a radical British official said that throughout the course of World War 1, the biggest enemy of the Entente was Germany, and the second largest enemy was Huaxia, which had been supporting the Allies behind it! Emotionally speaking, British society was more or less hostile to China from top to bottom. But Britain has the advantage of being practical, and it doesn't do things that it knows it can't do. Since it is impossible to take revenge on Huaxia, it seems to be a good choice for both parties to be a fairly friendly friend who can do business. And the purpose of Thomas leading the team to China is also this.

In order to curb Germany's excessive expansion, Huaxia took the olive branch handed over by the British, and repaid the British with practical actions. But if you want to say that the British are not wary of China, it is impossible. In particular, some of the technical cooperation requirements put forward by Huaxia are all technologies that the British consider very critical in the future...... The so-called sharp weapons of the country cannot be easily revealed, and it is obvious that the British are wary of cooperating with China without distinguishing friend from foe. And as a member of the Entente, the British had to take into account the views of the United States and France. After all, once a real fight breaks out, the United States is Britain's biggest reliance, and France is the Entente's last bridgehead on the mainland! …。

Fortunately, Huaxia was not in a hurry, and the British were given enough time to think about this matter, and the British high-level also began to discuss the question of the future relationship between Britain and China, and at the same time discussed the question of how the Entente group should treat Huaxia within the Entente countries. And if you want to understand this question, you must know what is the purpose of the cooperation between China and the Entente? What can China gain from the Entente. And what could China give to the Entente?

"Although China has a strong comprehensive national strength. He already has almost all the conditions to become a great power, the largest in the world in terms of territory and population. A more efficient government and an ambitious national spirit, a gradually improved level of education and better transportation. With relatively high-end and a large amount of industrial capacity, this ancient country has the ability and determination to become a world-class power again, both in terms of hardware and software. But at the same time, we also have to see. China's development is extremely uneven. The developed regions in the east have become industrial zones comparable to those of the European countries, while the west, especially the newly conquered North Asia, can even be described as barbaric, and there is still a gap between them and the old capitalist powers such as Britain in terms of key technological fields. ”

"Then after analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of this country. I think the leader who built Huaxia with his own hands should know what China needs now. Another upgrade of industrial technology and a large amount of money to build the west. And so far he is taking the first step. The second part may be to introduce foreign capital to accelerate the development of China, which is undoubtedly very suitable for China's current national conditions. Huaxia will not expand indefinitely, that was the choice of the Russians in the past, and what he needs now is to digest everything he has just taken. And then finally turn it into your own. So they have no intention of continuing to expand. Chamberlain Chamberlain once commented on his vision of China in the British Parliament, and his views were also shared by the top levels of the government. Especially in the latter paragraph of the group, Huaxia has no intention of continuing to expand, otherwise it would have acted as early as the 1st World War. At that time, the power of the British Empire in Asia was unprecedentedly .........weak.

Although it was still difficult to accept emotionally, in fact, the British believed that if the Allies and the Allies fought in South Asia in the future, China would indeed not help the Germans, but would definitely give the British and the Allies some support. For a country that had no possibility of occupying the British colonies, and at the same time could help the British defend South Asia, it seemed that the British really could not find any reason to refuse to cooperate. …。

The United States is a very important factor in the cooperation between Britain and China, and unlike Britain, which has clearly recognized the situation and is ready to become a second-rate country with the main task of ensuring the security of its colonies, the Americans are very confident in their own national strength. They do have the capital to be confident, the world's number one industrial power. And there is also a huge population. In addition, the United States has a group of younger brothers in the Americas. Although the US Government believes that it is impossible to start a war with China, there are still contests between the major powers in various aspects, and as far as the United States is concerned, they do not like China, at least on the issue of cooperation in some key areas, they will not easily contact China. And if Britain and France and China carry out exchanges and cooperation, then China's strength will also rise, which is naturally not what the Americans want to see, so the United States has carried out certain obstruction ......... in many aspects.

The British had to take into account the attitude of the Americans, so the British had some scruples about cooperation in electronic and underwater acoustic research in China, after all, the engines were made by the British themselves, and there were no external factors...... The liquid-cooled engines of the Americans are not yet looked down upon by the British. But radar and underwater acoustic research is cooperating with the United States, which has expressed its "unwillingness" to allow American technology to appear on Huaxia equipment.

And just when the British were in a dilemma, the French made some changes to this already deadlocked cooperation. "No matter what you think of China, it is an indisputable fact that China has become the world's first-class power, and China, the United States and Germany are the three countries in the world's first tier, then Britain and France, and then Italy and Austria-Hungary. Whether you want it or not, we can't ignore Huaxia on some key issues that determine the direction of the world. And I have to admire that Huaxia can actually use a subsystem that is not first-class to make first-class equipment, and this kind of talent in design ability is what we currently lack the most. I think you have some lingering feelings about the horror of the battleship Longxiang, right? What part on this battleship in Huaxia that we can't build? But we can't put it all together. General Xia Fei of France once again commented on the Huaxia ......... at the high-level meeting of the Allied powers.

And in this passage the meaning of the French is very clear. They have two meanings, one is that Huaxia is one of the decisive forces that change the world, and if he can't be our friend, then it will be a loss for us. The second is that we do need Huaxia, at least in terms of future weapons and equipment design, Huaxia has a huge advantage. They can give our army a huge equipment advantage, so in this case, whether from a strategic or tactical point of view, it is necessary to communicate with Huaxia! And the British very much agree with this, especially the officers of the British Royal Navy.

Not only do I agree with it, but I am also very anxious. The reason is very simple, although the Chinese designers provided the British with a lot of design ideas, they did not tell the British how to realize these design concepts, not to mention anything else, purely from the armored deck of the armored aircraft carrier. HOW TO USE AN OPEN HANGAR STRUCTURE TO SUPPORT AN ARMOR PLATE UP TO 17 METERS LONG, 4 METERS WIDE, AND 1MM THICK IS A VERY DIFFICULT PROBLEM TO SOLVE, THE BRITISH HAVE NOT DONE IT, EVEN IF THE AREA AND THICKNESS OF THE ARMOR DECK OF THE BRITISH ARMORED AIRCRAFT CARRIER IN HISTORY ARE MUCH SMALLER THAN THE FURIOUS CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIER OF THIS PLANE, AT THIS POINT IN TIME IN THE WORLD, I AM AFRAID THAT ONLY XU JIE CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE MANUFACTURE OF SHINANO IN THE LATE WAR OF JAPAN! ! …。

The statement of the French is obvious, that is, France supports the cooperation between the Entente and Huaxia, and then said that at the appropriate time, France is willing to cooperate with Huaxia in ship power and army weapons, and ship power is also one of the technologies that Huaxia dreams of. And the fastest and highest tonnage cruise ship in the world at that time in history was also made by France, and its name was Normandy. And since the French are all in favor, the British are actually willing. Then the Americans can't say anything about it anymore. The United States of this era is not the United States of the end of the Cold War. …。

"We still don't want the technology of the United States of America to be dispersed to China. But we will not interfere in the project of economic and technical cooperation with China between your country and France. "In the end, the Americans came up with a compromise. As for saying that if the British "accidentally" reveal some American things, the United States has nothing to do, on the one hand, the Americans may not know, and on the other hand, when it comes to technological heritage, the United States is inferior to the British in some aspects. Of course, there is another factor...... The British will also "accidentally" reveal some Chinese technology to the United States! Of course, these technologies can't be too sensitive. Otherwise, it will affect China's future support for Britain, and the United States must support Britain. Not necessarily. The British believed that when China realized that it was impossible for the Entente to hold South Asia, it would definitely jump out and carve up South Asia with the Allies. After all, this is also one of the important ways to prevent Germany from advancing eastward and at the same time increase its own strategic depth! …。

"The British finally agreed to our cooperation. Does this mean that in the future we may stand with the Entente? Yang Yonglin asked after handing the document in his hand to Xu Jie.

"It's not necessarily allies who share a common goal. Although we have common interests with the Entente countries on the South Asian issue. But there is an essential difference in the treatment of Germany, we want Germany not to go too far, not to destroy Germany completely! The United States is more terrible than Germany, so we need to let the United States and Germany fight across the Atlantic forever! I see? Xu Jie said with a smile.
