"The terms were acceptable, we got the money and the new colonies, and we stood with the most powerful alliance in the world, while blocking the way for the Americans to move west, and all we had to pay was some soldiers. I think this deal is pretty good, www.biquge.info it's a good deal. What about your opinion? His Excellency Heihachiro Togo? Hirobumi Ito said.

"It's okay for the Navy to carry out escort missions and missions to Germany, and it's okay to send frigates and auxiliary fleets to the Mediterranean, and even to say that it's not impossible to send a small number of capital ships into the Mediterranean, but I still have all the scruples about the elite fleet entering the North Sea, it's a contest between giants, even if it's a relatively weak German, its inadvertent blow will also make the Japanese Navy pay a heavy price." Heihachiro Togo said.

Togo Heihachiro is still very accurate, the so-called two elephants fighting, the worst thing is the lawn on the ground. Although the Germans were weaker, but when the real large-scale fleet PK, the elimination of a dreadnought was a matter of a little time and a little luck, and the British decisively sent away 3 battle cruisers in the Battle of Jutland, which was not a nerve-wracking thing for the British Empire, if you switch to the Japanese Navy? If 3 of the 4 Kongo ships are killed at once, the Japanese Admiralty is probably about to close their doors, right?

"In that case, we can only hope that the army can send more people." Ito Hirobumi nodded, agreeing with Togo Heihachiro's statement, after all, the warships of the Japanese Navy are still very valuable, and these fleets are the cornerstone of ensuring the security of the Japanese archipelago. And if the navy is hit hard, even if Japan and the Entente stand together, the Americans will dare to snatch Japan's colonies, and they need to be hard to strike iron, if Japan is not able to resist the Americans, the Entente will not help the Japanese seize these islands!

Although there are some deviations in the final result, but in the general direction, the two countries are still acceptable, language, equipment and tactical system may be a problem, but overall, if there are several years of running-in, it is not a problem. Historically, didn't the Anglo-French-Belgian-Portuguese forces fight the Germans together in the trenches of the Western Front? Didn't the black army of the French also go to the battlefield? Not a single regiment in the Austro-Hungarian Empire has a unified language, and it doesn't continue to fight? (Well, that's a bit far-fetched--! ）

On the issue of equipment, the Japanese also decided to popularize British and French equipment training for future reservists, and after some thought, the Japanese still decided to choose French equipment, on the one hand, because at the beginning, the Japanese Army had studied under the French army, and the other reason was that France was a large land force, and there were not many equipment, and it was more convenient to get equipment when it really fought. According to the agreement, when Britain and France deemed it necessary to prepare for war, Japan should gather at least 50,000 trained officers and soldiers to board the ship within three days to form the first batch of Japanese legions to Europe.

This seems to be a high requirement, but in fact it is not difficult at all, you must know that after the start of the war in history, there were 32,000 people in a wave of Australia and New Zealand who went to Europe! As a populous country and a regional power with a relatively large army, it is really not difficult to concentrate 50,000 people without carrying weapons under the condition of preparation.

Finally, on November 8, 1907, the two countries signed the "Agreement between the Entente Group and the Japanese Empire on Wartime Mutual Assistance" in Tokyo, Japan, and after the signing of this agreement, Japan's position in the entire Entente system rose to the fourth place, second only to Russia. Even higher than Italy, which Britain and France had tried to win over.

And just four months after the signing of this agreement, the Japanese Navy finally ordered the capital ship purchased in Britain by the last class in the history of the Japanese Navy at the Armstrong Shipyard - the Kongo-class battlecruiser! The price of the battleship was very favorable for Japan, and it was sold to Japan almost at cost price, and half of the funds for the purchase of the battleship by Japan came from loans from the British! So much so that the British newspapers at the time exclaimed that they had bought the most cutting-edge battle cruisers of the British Empire almost at the cost of Asama-class armored cruisers.

"Damn the British, they finally came on side with the Japanese and became the worst enemy of the United States of America!" When Roosevelt heard the relevant information, angry and unwilling roars came out of the office from time to time, and another indirect result of this incident was that for a long period of time, the door between the United States and the Entente was completely closed, unless the Entente was dissolved, otherwise it was impossible for the United States and Britain, France, Russia and other countries to reconcile on the issue of grand strategy.

"The most important thing is that in the event of a war, the Japanese will definitely attack the German Far Eastern colonies, and the size of our fleet in the Far East will not be able to defeat the Japanese at all! At present, Japan has 4 dreadnoughts under construction and nearing completion, and 2 of them are still super dreadnoughts. Together with the 4 battlecruisers and components that were just ordered from the British not so long ago, the strength of the Japanese Navy would rise to a rather terrifying level. Admiral Benson, the vice admiral of the navy on the side, said anxiously.

"Can we get more economic price in exchange for Germany delivering all its territories ahead of schedule?" Benson asked, thinking for a moment.

"It's absolutely impossible, the Germans don't trust us, so they will definitely leave enough chips in their hands, and the colonies in the Far East are their biggest chips." Roosevelt shook his head and said.

"So do you think that if the war was over and the Germans were victorious, they would have fulfilled their promises?" Benson asked.

"Yes, the Germans had no interest in the Far East, and even after the war, they needed loans from the United States of America to tide over the economic crisis. So if nothing else, they'll keep their promises. ”

"If that were the case, Germany would not have lost the war, at least in a draw." Benson thought for a moment and said. Unless His Excellency the President is ready to fight the Japanese Navy!

"I partially agree with you, but I still don't want Germany to take the opportunity to become bigger this time, and don't underestimate Germany's energy and development prospects." Roosevelt hesitated. Although the United States hated Japan very much, it was not ready to fight Japan, so Roosevelt preferred to work with Germany to force Japan to spit out what it had eaten after the war.

Eventually, before the Great War, the whole world pattern had been basically formed, with Britain, France, Russia, and Japan forming the core of the Entente system, Belgium and the Balkan countries becoming peripheral members of the Entente, and Germany, Austria, and Turkey forming the Allied bloc, and the Italians were still licking their wounds while thinking about whether they should stand there. The United States, on the other hand, tends to be neutral.
