Although he was very unwilling, although he felt insulted, Frederick III really intended to let the matter end like this. 1.5 million pounds can finally make some money, and the Japanese apologize and hand over the culprit to save face for the Germans. Moreover, the British have promised that Japan will do so, and said that they will not interfere in other affairs between Germany and Japan in the future.

But just as the Germans were getting ready, another thing happened! Let what has been negotiated change again!

"The prison where the culprit was seized Ha Moto and the others suddenly caught fire? All the prisoners were burned to death? Just 3 days before the extradition, Prime Minister Bismarck received a telegram forwarded from Britain and angrily threw it directly into the stove next to him!

The Germans felt that they had bought leniency, and the Japanese officers on the other two Japanese battleships, Germany decided not to pursue them, and only demanded that the officers on the Yoshino must be handed over to the Germans, but what they didn't expect was that the Japanese actually gave up on such a request!

To be extradited, prisoners burned to death? You're playing with me, aren't you? How could the iron-blooded prime minister be so deflated in diplomacy? I have achieved a lot of results in my life. At the time of the Berlin Conference, even Britain was forced to make concessions to itself in the colonies, and Germany did not take a step back in the struggle with the Americans for Samoa in the Pacific! How dare a tiny Japan provoke the majesty of the empire like this?

"Let's leave it at that, it's not over!" After Frederick III received the information, he said calmly. "In addition, send a telegram to Prince Ruprecht and Tirpitz, telling them that they can contact the Beiyang side and discuss some arms matters!"

"Send a telegram to the Russians, and if they want to maintain their interests in the Far East and value the traditional friendship between the German Empire and Russia, then take practical action! We were disappointed that we didn't get a lot of help from our friends! When the Kaiser gave this order, it meant that the matter was not over! It's just the end of it!

"We were so ill-prepared that we lost an opportunity to settle our opponents once and for all! We can't afford to lose another chance! When the Russian emperor saw the note sent by the German ambassador, he said this to his ministers.

The Manchus are not worried, the only ones who can barely be called opponents are the Japanese, if Russia is a little prepared, Russia and Germany may really beat Japan to a slump at once! But the accident came too suddenly, and the overly strong performance of Britain not only made the Germans lose face, but also made the Russians jealous!

Nicholas II, who was almost assassinated in Japan, never wanted to kill Japan so much as he did today! In the face of the Kaiser's proposals, both in their own interests and in the relations between the parties, the Russians had to act! It's okay to pay some price when necessary.

"Tell the Germans that in the Far East Russia is ready to help all it can! Russia is willing to serve as the main force to intervene in the future Sino-Japanese war! As long as Germany is willing to take our side! "It is impossible for the Germans to help the Russians to get the best out of the fire, the Tsar knew this very well!

And just when Russia and Germany were ready to continue plotting their next plan, the British were also very concerned about this matter, and as a party, the British Prime Minister was even a little frightened!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, what do you think of what the Japanese are doing? Did those people really die in accidents? Chamberlain asked with a complicated expression.

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not! The important thing is that the Germans did not believe in this statement at all! They think the Japanese are deceiving them! Prime Minister Salspori said angrily! The Japanese are really bold enough to dare to play tricks at this time? To be honest, the prime minister himself does not believe the excuses of the Japanese!

"But at least the Kaiser didn't bother with these things? Isn't it? Chamberlain said with some uncertainty.

"No more entanglement? I'm afraid this thing won't end so well, let's see how it goes. The prime minister sneered.

"And what if the Germans had to do something else? What are we going to do? Chamberlain asked hurriedly.

"So what else can I do? Let the Japanese bear the consequences of this for themselves! We are chess players! Definitely not invest too much money for the life or death of a chess piece! What does it have to do with the British Empire that they are looking for their own death? The suddenly enraged Prime Minister roared!

Salzpoli had already felt a premonition of German retaliation and the high cost that the British government would have to pay to maintain its Far East strategy! His own political life should have ended, because the obvious deterioration of Anglo-German relations is a stain on him that cannot be removed! Even if they are doing the right thing and for the good of the British Empire, those politicians don't care about this at all, they just want a piece of the pie from their own defeat!

"Did this man really die in an accident?" Facing Shiki Kayama, who was sitting opposite, Ito Hirobumi shook the telegram in his hand and said! The slightly trembling arm showed that he was in a very bad mood at this time!

"Yes, it was an accident, and the guards were all dead." Kayama Shiki said with a flickering gaze!

"Well, that's the end of it, but remember, sooner or later, the Empire will have to pay the price for the single-mindedness of a handful of people!" In the face of the famous phenomenon in Japanese history, Hirobumi Ito has no choice! This TM is considered the national situation of Japan! How can you?

Although something happened, but things have to be done? "What do we do next? Is there going to be a change in the strategy? Shiki Kayama asked.

"The general direction remains the same, and the war will start next year at the latest! But before that, the Navy needs to make up for the battle damage as much as possible. At the same time, we have to pay attention to the actions of Beiyang, they can no longer be as muddy as they used to be! Hirobumi Ito said with some concern.

Even if it's a pig, they will be wary after they are lucky enough to avoid the first knife! The expansion of armaments in Beiyang is inevitable! This also means that it will cost more for Japan to win against its opponents! Just threw away 1.5 million pounds, and to make up for the navy's war damage! Now Japan's finances need to sell blood! As for loans? Who else will lend to Japan now, except for the UK? Even Americans are not optimistic about Japan's future development!

"We must win this war! There is no way back! Prepare to go, if you cause any more trouble, the empire will really be finished! In the end, Hirobumi Ito's knife-like gaze almost opened a few holes in Shiki Kayama!

The wheel of history seems to be on the right track after slightly deviating from the trajectory, the great power of the German Navy is just an accident in the eyes of outsiders, but this incident has changed history to a great extent, the Sino-Japanese War will eventually break out, a historical fate will make the two countries in the East meet each other, and at this time, what is Ruprecht doing? How did he use this opportunity to change history?
