The negotiations between Hanhua and the United States and Japan have dragged on for more than a month, and there is no result yet, mainly because of the differences, to put it bluntly, it is still the issue of money and peace. Now Hanhua's compensation for Japan is a lion's mouth, not only has it not been lowered but has also risen, which makes the United States and Japan shout shamelessly behind their backs.

Lu Haofu and Li Hongming were in Tokyo at this time, holding talks with Japanese Foreign Minister Matsumoto and US Representative White.

Matsumoto said to Lu Haofu and Li Hongming on the other side: "The 110 million you asked for is too high!" "After arresting the two of you, and entertaining you with good wine and food for so long, you have risen from the original 50 million to more than 100 million, which is too bullying. How can you do that!

Lu Haofu looked at Foreign Minister Matsumoto and said: "This is the compensation that we have calculated that you should give to us, after all, the matter must have been caused by the Japanese side, and we have no responsibility, and besides, 110 million is no less, if other countries caught the ship flying our naval flag, we would not be so easy to speak." If the Japanese side is unwilling to give out this meagre $100 million, we will not dare to sign our name, which is an insult to our Xinghai Flag."

The Americans are going to scold their mothers in their hearts when they hear it, an insult to your Xinghai Flag? You are not a country yet, okay, you will come out and float with a flag by yourself, and you will be so shameless and unreasonable! But I have to admit that the combat power of the Xinghai Fleet is strong, and to be honest, the Americans judged that if it weren't for their own defense law with Japan, Hanhua would have hugged Japan and beat it up a long time ago. Moreover, Americans also know that Hanhua only chose to negotiate because he was afraid of his own American banner like other countries. Rather, they do not want to enter into a large-scale conflict with the American fleet. The Americans also know this, and they understand this, and now few countries in the world will think that the Star Sea Fleet will be afraid of the US Navy. They are all facing each other in the Pacific Ocean, what are they afraid of? It seems that both sides know that this matter is too small to be worth a war.

Beite said to Li Hongming: "But this 110 million US dollars is a bit too high."

"I don't think it's high, our commander said that the Japanese asked for 200 million dollars in silver at that time, and now it's only more than 100 million dollars, which is too much?" Li Hongming looked at Japanese Foreign Minister Matsumoto and said: "110 million cannot be less, if it is less, we don't need to talk about it, just go to auction the three oil tankers!" ”。

"You are blackmail, and shameless blackmail!" Matsumoto immediately stood up and looked at Li Hongming and Lu Haofu and said. Hearing Li Hongming mention the "Treaty of Shimonoseki,Matsumoto couldn't help it."

Lu Haofu glanced at Matsumoto, whose angry face had changed a little, and then his eyes shifted to the American representative Cup: "No matter what name we use, 110 million is the bottom line!" ”

"What if we refuse?" Matsumoto asked loudly.

Lu Haofu immediately stood up from his chair, looked at Matsumoto and said loudly, "Then we don't have to talk about it." Or go back and mobilize the naval location for you to choose. Let's have a good fight and then make a decision! ”。 After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Matsumoto, put his hands on the edge of the table, and said, "Even if you dare to rush to the ship flying our naval flag, do you think that our fleet is a bath tub floating on the sea!" Or think that our fleet does not have the courage to maintain the dignity of our flag! If 110 million doesn't satisfy your government, then in a month it will be 200 million. A small number of our warships will fly the flag of the stars and waves to the ocean! ”

"Two gentlemen! Everyone is calm and how to end this incident perfectly. Let's put this on hold for a moment! Cupter immediately said to the two parties who stood up. Whitelink hurriedly said to the people who stood up on both sides. Thinking in his heart, none of these Han Chinese people are reasonable, and the compensation is 110 million, of course White knows. This is the current market price of the three oil tankers estimated by Hanhua. But that's not how it is played internationally now, why do you always use the pre-World War II method. When encountering other countries, the Americans can still press twice, and it is difficult to say if they are stunned, White does not think that Hanhua will not dare to go to the Indian Ocean to intercept Japanese ships again, and the entire Middle East can be said to be the lifeline of Japan. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is not only Japan, but also the lifeline of East Asia as a whole. If the Star Sea Fleet blockades the entire Indian Ocean against Japan, it will not be a matter of 110 million dollars.

Seeing that the two sides sat down again, White had no choice but to bring up the matter of apology again. I didn't say a word for a while, and the two sides quarreled again. White couldn't help but want to touch his head, and his hands were raised, and finally he restrained himself.

It is doomed that today's talks will yield no results, and the two sides will have no choice but to dismiss the meeting and continue the talks tomorrow. Out of the door of the conference room, White shook hands with Matsumoto and walked out with Lu Haofu, Li Minghong, and several negotiators from Hanhua. This group of people got directly into the car of the US Seventh Fleet, and the personnel who guarded it were American GIs except for Hanhua. When he heard about the Tokyo talks, Jin Hu first asked the US side to guarantee the safety of the negotiators here. Japan's guarantee was a fart in the eyes of Jin Hu, and the Americans did not dare to be careless after agreeing, and the Seventh Fleet directly sent elite marines to protect these Hanhua negotiators.

It's not that Jin Hu is playing the score, but Japan has a criminal record, and Jin Hu doesn't want his negotiators to have any accidents. In the past, when the negotiations began, the spread of Hanhua's conditions caused an uproar in Japan, and right-wing organizations organized rallies one after another to protest against Hanhua, and many people shouted for a fight, and I don't know where these people got the courage to fight. The Americans are also very careful about the protection, no Japanese can enter the hotel where the Chinese representatives stay, the whole is all-round protection, if these people have an accident, the Americans know that they are afraid that a war will not be able to escape.

After returning to the hotel where White was staying, he reported to the United States the outcome of today's negotiations, that is, as usual, there was no result. Hanhua's unreasonableness gave Americans a deep understanding.

White said to the president of the White House: "The Japanese are now a little powerless not only to deal with the power of Hanhua, but also to deal with China." Even if you add up the powers of East Asia, South Korea and Japan, they are no longer able to deal with the threat of China. And we have to face the navy of Hanhua! ”。

"And what do you suggest?" Mr. President asked.

White thought for a moment and said: "Exporting advanced armaments to these two sides, and slowly loosening the shackles on Japan, will make Japan's military strength in East Asia go two more steps, and it can also bring greater orders to our arms dealers!" ”。

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment and said, "I know," and hung up the phone after saying that.

At this time, the White House was not the president, and it was not the president who sat in the office, but more than a dozen people sat in the office.

"Our proposal is to maintain peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, and we should ask the Japanese government to order another batch of F-35 fighters, at least 100 more planes, so that we can have a numerical advantage over China," a general wearing an air force uniform told the president.

The Americans are also forced to do this because of impatience, and to a large extent, the research expenses of the F-35 are hundreds of billions of dollars. Not only that, but even the combat power has become a joke, and there are constant small problems. The cost of maintaining a home remains high. The U.S. military once secretly had a contest with the gray fox equipped by the United Arab Emirates, and the final result made the U.S. military embarrassed, and in the formation confrontation, the F35 and the gray fox were six to zero. Six F35s were shot down. Under the DD-100 air-to-air missile. F35 Lightning Fattening Cat. Now even the allies of Europe don't want to buy it, and they can only count on Japan, the big one! Now the international market is popular gray fox, sparrowhawk. At the lower end of the spectrum are the Chinese-made J-31 instead of the F35. And Japan is also destined to play the role of the wronged leader, using the F-35, which is more expensive than the gray fox, to resist the gray fox with a numerical advantage, you listen to how unreliable this is.

Another general listened and said: "I'm afraid that the F-35 can't let Japan occupy air superiority at all, China's military strength is developing too fast, and after the J-20 is modified with engines used in the Gray Fox, the combat range has made great progress, not to mention that now China has installed about 100 Gray Foxes in the air force of several Japanese provinces!" Just to keep the balance in mind, we should sell the Japanese F-22 Raptor, and if we want to have air superiority again, we must sell the F-22C to Japan! ”。

"It can't be! Now we have only just equipped the F-22C, and it will not be possible to equip Japan for at least three years," said an Air Force general who immediately objected. The F-22C air superiority fighter is a fighter developed by absorbing part of the Gray Fox's fly-by-wire technology, plus most of the most cutting-edge technology of the United States, and the combat power of the two F-22Cs exceeds that of the three F-22 basic models. The biggest problem is not only its excellent combat power, but also its higher price. In the past, the Americans would not have been able to equip many planes, but in the face of the Falcon Eagles, which now have more than 280 or so, they can only grit their teeth and accept that the F-22C will be equipped with 200 more than 200 aircraft for the Air Force.

The general who spoke just now said: "Then we can only refurbish the existing F-22 and sell it to Japan!" ”。

"Hmmm! This one works! ”

"That's a good idea!"

Some generals thought for a moment and then nodded and said, don't think that the Americans said that the Japanese fighter planes were refurbished, and think that this is a good thing, and the Americans generally have to reduce the price of Japanese things and then increase the price. For example, the F15 was sold to Japan at the front of the air combat capability, not much ground capability, and the F-35 purchased by Japan allows you to fly the simulation cabin twice, so let Japan place an order, as for you want to see the prototype, it is also a no. No matter what the United States wants to sell Japan, Japan's choice can only be one word, buy!

After making a decision, American arms dealers began lobbying Congress to approve the sale of the F-22 to Japan. White spread the news to Japan, and the Japanese were very happy, and immediately the big Japanese media appeared that the United States was preparing to export the F-22, and then the Japanese were happy again.

As soon as the news of the sale of the F-22 in the United States to Japan came out, Hanhua and Japan signed an agreement, and Japan also made a secret compensation of 110 million US dollars to Hanhua! Moreover, Hanhua also promised not to intervene in the Sino-Japanese dispute. Now with China's military strength, with or without the addition of Hanhua, there is no problem for Europe to fight Japan, and this is equivalent to nothing. (To be continued......)
