The Kaiser was furious! The consequences are severe! As soon as Frederick III set the tone, the entire German government began to get busy, and the navy immediately sent a telegram to the fleet stationed in Shanghai, instructing Tirpitz to take whatever action he thought was reasonable! The actions of the fleet could be extended to the entire coast of Japan, and it was stated that the Navy could requisition all German merchant ships in China!

The German diplomatic department directly expelled the Japanese ambassador to Germany, and immediately contacted Russia, hoping that Russia would provide fuel and supplies to the German fleet in China. It was hoped that Germany and Russia would exert pressure on Japan for the sake of mutual interests, and the Russian emperor expressed his willingness to provide protection for the German fleet, and agreed to the use of the port of Vladivostok by the German fleet. Subsequently, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a rather harsh statement! I believe that Japan is a cancer of the world and should be completely eliminated from the Far East!

And in terms of public opinion, the Prime Minister did a good job, he insisted that it was the Japanese who did it first without declaring war, and at the same time emphasized that the mistake at the beginning of the Mainz was caused by the Japanese sneak attack! "The Japanese took advantage of our idea of pursuing peace and attacked our fleet! Such despicable acts must be punished severely! This phrase appeared in major European newspapers, and even the French government expressed its dissatisfaction and contempt for Japan's actions.

And the blow that made the Japanese completely fail on the battlefield of public opinion came from the United States! Dewey is quite realistic, and he knows the truth of doing things with money! He described the situation very objectively and fairly, and agreed with the statements of the German media, and then refuted the Japanese from the perspective of a naval admiral!

"The excuses of this group of Japanese robbers are ridiculous and naïve! They claimed that the German fleet attacked first at a distance of up to 1200 meters, but in reality, as the side with superior firepower, they would engage as far as possible from a distance, and if they got close, they would be threatened with torpedoes, and apparently, the German naval officers and sailors would not make such a mistake! ”

"In this engagement, the losses of middle and senior officers accounted for half of the entire losses! Almost all the senior German officers were on the bridge at that time, and if the German fleet was ready to strike first, they should have been in the conning tower and not on the unprotected bridge! ”

The problems Dewey pointed out, especially the identity of the third party, made his words very credible. Then Dewey praised the armored cruiser Mainz, especially Prince Ruprecht, for his on-the-spot performance, which invisibly added a few points to the German Navy! Concealing the inadequacies of some people and at the same time making Ruprecht famous!

"Mr. Prime Minister, it seems that the Japanese are making things worse and worse!" London, the Prime Minister's official residence, Chamberlain personally visited Salzpoy said.

"A very immature country, just having a stick is like challenging a heavily armed warrior! It was necessary to borrow the hands of the Germans to knock it out. "The prime minister didn't really care about that.

"But the German fleet has already begun to hunt Japanese ships in the East China Sea, and although the Qing Kingdom has been stabilized, if the Japanese losses are too great, it will have a great impact on our future plans."

"In this conflict, the Japanese fleet lost two protective cruisers, killed more than 400 people, and injured more than 200 people, and the current Japan may not even be able to beat the North Ocean!" Chamberlain worried.

"Remember, Japan is just a pawn for us, and those who play chess can never be swayed by a pawn! Germany did not declare war, otherwise it would have been in contact with the Qing State by now! It's enough to have this bottom line! It's grateful, and it's not too late. Salzpoli replied with a smile. On the contrary, what worries me most now is, what if we intervene too early and Germany and Russia get closer? ”

"Then we should do some preliminary work, right?" Chamberlain said.

"Tell the Japanese that they are ready to discuss the matter of reparations, and let them hand over the culprits! This matter can't be finished without finding a scapegoat! Let them be fast! Once Russia intervenes, things will be complicated! ”

Compared with the life and death of Japan, the British were more worried about the impact of this incident on the proximity of Russia and Germany! One Russia will make the British tired enough, and if Germany is on the side of the Russians again, how will Britain get it? Therefore, the so-called help of the British is also to convince Japan to make them admit their mistakes and lose money as soon as possible!

"What if the Germans are asking for more than our bottom line?" Chamberlain asked.

"For the sake of peace and order in the Far East, all the ports of the British colonies will be forbidden to supply and berth military ships of third countries! Until the situation in the Far East calms down! Said the British Prime Minister!

"This?!" Chamberlain must admire the means of his own superior! As long as the ports of the British colonies did not provide supplies, how could the subsequent German warships and transports go to the Far East? There are only two colonies in Eurasia, Britain and France, the British do not help, the French are the old enemies of the Germans, and the Germans want to mobilize a fleet to the Far East? Isn't that hilarious? At that time, I'm afraid the Germans will have to give in, right?

"Remember, this is the last rope! It cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary! The impact is somewhat large. Although Salzpoli has a way, he does not dare to use this measure lightly, because it will inevitably lead to tension between Britain and Germany, and even if the Germans are instigated for a while, it is difficult to ensure that the Germans will not find a place in other areas!

The opinion of the British quickly reached the ears of the Japanese, since the backstage bosses have let themselves admit it, then admit it, Japan is tough on the Qing country, and it is a grandson on those who have bigger fists than themselves! Don't you see the Japanese offering Perry, the American who knocked on the door of Japan? The German fleet has appeared outside the Bay of Tonkin! The Japanese Combined Fleet didn't even dare to show its face, and if it was consumed and waited for death?

The German government expressed its willingness to negotiate, and the Japanese ambassador to Britain, Shuzo Aoki, immediately went to Berlin to make contact with the German side, and the person in charge of receiving it was the German Prime Minister Birov.

"Because of some accidents and the arbitrary decisions of some people, a lot of unpleasant things have happened between Germany and Japan recently, and I am here to solve these things." Shuzo Aoki started with skilful diplomatic rhetoric.

"That's our request! Promise him to continue talking! "Birov doesn't have idle time and mushrooms on the other side, as a great power, you have to have the domineering spirit of a great power! The conditions are proposed, but you don't agree? Then hit until you say yes! Just ask if you're afraid?

"£2 million? This is unacceptable! We did not inflict much damage on your country at all, the losses suffered by the cruiser Mainz were minimal, and we also sank 2 cruisers. "Shuzo Aoki was almost taken aback by this huge amount! If converted into silver, it will be nearly 20 million taels! How much does Japan earn in a year?

"This is the punishment for the brutal and barbaric actions of the despicable! In addition, our fleet has seized at least 20 Japanese merchant ships, and if you do not agree to this request, we can completely confiscate these ships and cargo to compensate for our losses! "Birov won't give an inch!

The second more is served ~~~, and there is a more at night!
