Such a big move naturally can't be hidden from anyone, at least the British, who are adjacent to the territory of Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, already know the news of the arrival of the US and Russian fleets, and it is impossible for the British not to know that Britain and Germany share the island of New Guinea! And when the British learned that the Russians were also involved, the news was sent to London, England, and things were terrible! What does it mean that the Russian and American fleets are combined?

If before that, the British still had the slightest idea of calming things down with the United States, and even had the possibility of mediating relations between the two countries when necessary, and occupying the Philippines together, then when the American fleet and the Russian fleet converged, there was no room for relaxation!

Who is the number one enemy of the British Empire now - the Russians! In the Anglo-Japanese alliance treaty, although the British tried their best to avoid going to war, they still provided Japan with a guarantee that Britain would enter the war if a third party joined the war! And now the behavior of the Americans has clearly touched the bottom line of the British, this time it was the Russians and the Americans who collaborated to seize the Philippines, so what about the next time? Russia and the United States carved up the Far East? "Americans really dare to think about it!" British Prime Minister Salspoli angrily threw the telegram on the table!

Perhaps the British were nervous again, and this time it was the Americans who took advantage of the Russians to gain the Philippines, but as a politician, Salzpoli knew very well the allure of such an alliance! When both sides of the alliance benefit from the alliance, the two sides will gradually consolidate and rely on this alliance relationship, there will be no permanent friends only permanent interests, the US-Russian alliance will become more and more solid, and then gradually encroach on the Far East!

Although the Americans have always prided themselves on being isolated and avoided challenging other powers outside the Americas. But the British knew that this was just a lie, although Roosevelt had not yet uttered the famous sentence that Wen Yan had a big stick in his mouth, and Wilhelm II did not call Roosevelt Theodore I, but this empire that had gradually grown up was definitely not easy to get along with!

Britain at this time is not the sunset empire after World War II, people are now the sunset empire! After the collapse of Napoleon's empire, who were the British afraid of? The British government decided to resolutely strike at the US-Russian alliance, which had not yet taken shape, and in line with the principle that it would rather kill by mistake than misplace, the attitude of the British people changed decisively. Overtly and covertly, support for Japan was even stronger, with temporary loans of up to £3 million being one and allowing the Japanese fleet to dock in Hong Kong was another.

"What are we going to do with Germany?" When the foreign secretary asked about this matter, Salzpoli was also slightly stunned, yes, the Germans have provided convenience to the United States and Russia, but it is clear that at this time the British and Japanese enemies have enough, if they offend Germany again, the British will face unprecedented diplomatic isolation, and what the Germans are doing at present is not excessive, after all, the Germans' explanation is that everything is just a visit.

"Forget it." In a simple sentence, even if the German problem has been revealed, there is no way, there are a lot of enemies now, and what the Germans are doing is not so explicit, since this is the case, it can only be counted, although the British Empire is domineering, but it is not reckless, and the priorities are still clear. Besides, the British have never suffered big losses in history, but they have suffered some small losses. The British are also used to it.

News of the US-Russian alliance was quickly sent to the Japanese through diplomatic channels. And the Japanese didn't expect the Americans to work so hard for Hawaii! 8 battleships came in one go! Not only that, but the Americans also hooked up with the Russians, and this is worth it? If the British were only angry when they got the news. Then the Japanese are hated and feared! I gritted my teeth with hatred, and I trembled with fear.

If Japan's attitude was that the United States took a step back, then now the Japanese are ready to exterminate the American forces in the Far East! That's right, it is to wipe out, not only the Philippines, but also the US-controlled areas, including Samoa. Even Hawaii wants to get involved! Because this signal is simply fatal for Japan, at some point in the future, when Japan and Russia are fighting, the Americans suddenly move behind to kill, what do you want Japan to do? At that time, carrying two big countries at the same time knew the result with their toes! So for Japan, the only way is to scare the Americans! And build a barrier so wide that Americans can barely pass through! The Pacific Ocean is a good one. At least the Japanese think that's enough.

The result of the joint efforts of the United States and Russia is something that Japan cannot afford, and the Japanese have never lacked the courage and spiciness, once they do it, they will not leave a way back, just like a red-eyed gambler, they will press all the chips and decide the winner or lose! After the Russians joined, the nature of the war changed completely, if there were compromisers with the United States in the Japanese top leadership before, then there is no room for compromise at all, even if the Americans are willing to compromise, what about the Russians?

As a result, the battle plan that had been issued was changed, and the battle plan that originally called for the occupation of the Philippines was changed to that as long as the American fleet fired, the Imperial fleet would do its best to destroy all the American fleets in the western Pacific, and in this instruction, the division of the western Pacific was based on the International Date Line. At the same time, three cruisers of the Russian Far Eastern Fleet were included in the must-kill list. After all, if these three ships were to sink, it would be of great help to the situation in the Far East in the future.

"Holy! The script is not like this! "When Shiki Kayama, who had already assembled in Tokyo Bay and was ready to go out at any time to open the film, he was almost scared to death after receiving this new combat training! Now the warships of more than 4,000 tons of the US and Russian armies cannot be counted on two hands, and there are only 7 suitable for ocean-going operations on their side! There's no chance of winning if you go up now! Do you want to go up and send it?

Kayama Shikiki immediately sent a reply letter to Ito Hirobumi, and the content of the letter was simple, that is, he must not do it now, at least wait for the other two warships to return. Then everyone went up recklessly, and even before that, the Americans must admit that they first launched an offensive against the Philippines. It is better to let the government carry diplomatic infamy than let the fleet attack rashly, infamy will not kill people, and if you are not careful in naval warfare, you will die!

The Japanese also panicked when they found that the script was completely useless, but at this time the British were still powerful, and at this time the two armored cruisers Asama and Yakumo had already left England and were on their way back, and the British promised to return home as soon as possible and maintain the two warships in Singapore, and then receive the final supplies in Hong Kong. The main force of the Japanese fleet could rendezvous with the two warships in the waters south of Taiwan and then go to the Philippines, and the British also assured that the coal and supplies needed by the Japanese fleet could be provided by the British.
