The war between Japan and Japan was rekindled, and Japan was the most depressed, but Britain was the most entangled. After the news of North Manchuria's declaration of war on Japan reached London, the British Parliament blew up. The gentlemen angrily condemned the barbaric invasion of North Manchuria, and expressed the deepest sympathy for the plight of Japan, but how to deal with this war in the Far East gave the English gentlemen another headache.

The value of Japan, a trench in the Far East, was well known to the British, and only by maintaining Japan's independence could Britain hold its beachhead against North Manchuria and even the whole of China. At the same time, Japan is also the last hole card of the British-stirring stick policy in the Far East. If there is no Japan, there will be no more restraining forces in front of North Manchuria, and Britain must face North Manchuria, an emerging continental country, in the next round of cards.

Russia, which the British once vigorously supported, is now eighty percent useless, and it is okay to occasionally add to the chaos, so that they can face the north of Manchuria, which is not possible at all. Moreover, Russia's strategic center of gravity has always been in Europe, and some Russians in Asia are not very concerned at all. It turned out that when Asian countries were relatively backward, it was okay for the Russians to take advantage of the white wolf, and when they really encountered opponents of equal strength, they had no intention of competing at all. During the Kangxi period, Russia had a slight setback in the Far East, so he went back to hide for two hundred years, and this time he was beaten by North Manchuria, and he didn't have the mind to look eastward at all.

In addition to Russia in the Far East, Britain's second hope was the Qing Dynasty, which was quite competitive, and it was better than the British to see North Manchuria, and openly and secretly found a lot of trouble for North Manchuria. However, the Qing Dynasty also had many problems, its political system and management and organizational structure were stable and backward, and they had no intention of reforming at all. This large and ancient empire always seemed too weak in the face of Northern Manchuria. In addition, the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and Northern Manchurian is inextricably linked, and the two sides are basically two brothers of the same family, and even if they make a big move, they can be reconciled immediately, which is really a waste of the feelings of British gentlemen.

There is no need to think about other small countries, they are basically all Ma Tsai's little brothers in North Manchuria, and it is useless for the British to instigate them, and the only one who is fighting is Japan. Don't look at the fact that Japan is a little smaller, and its products are scarce, but they have a large enough population, a large enough education level and a strong determination to reform, and they have wanted to kill China and become the boss of Asia since a thousand years ago. After the British started to support them, Japan's development was also extremely rapid, but before the British could be happy, North Manchuria rushed up and beat Japan violently, so that little Japan understood what it meant to return to the pre-liberation period overnight.

Although Japan was crippled and owed a lot of debts, the Japanese were very united, and everyone collectively tightened their belts and survived. Britain took out a lot of dry goods, and finally made Japan a little prosperous, and then the Manchurians came again. North Manchuria's threat to clean up the Japanese imperial bloodline is completely annihilating a monarchy. Even if Japan remained nominally independent after the war, it would become a vassal of North Manchuria, just like Korea.

The Wilhelm cabinet of the Liberal Party, which advocated supporting Russia, the Qing Dynasty, and Japan, and dealing with North Manchuria with a-stirring stick policy, had just stepped down, and the Benjamin cabinet of the Conservative Party had just taken power. Benjamin doesn't want to care about the bad things in the Far East, and North Manchuria, which is a hard bone, can easily burst his teeth if he doesn't bite well. However, in William's time, the British invested too much in Japan, and if they were left alone, the previous investment would be all in vain, and British interests in the Far East would be greatly damaged.

"We should issue an ultimatum to North Manchuria, demanding that they immediately stop the invasion of Japan!" Benjamin has not taken a position in parliament, but has launched Ma Zai Carter to take the lead.

"According to the information transmitted back by our intelligence network, the Manchurians have mobilized more than 150 warships and more than 300 airships in order to attack Japan, and the number of troops ready to be put into the Japanese battlefield has exceeded 300,000. William has always liked to perform by himself, so he didn't need others to block the gun, and rushed up by himself at the beginning.

"We can unite France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Qing and other countries to put pressure on the Manchurians!" Carter had a rich draft, and his task was to test the attitudes of William and the Liberals.

"France had just been defeated by Germany, and they had no intention of interfering with the affairs of the Far East, and they were constantly regressing in Southeast Asia, and they had not done anything, so how could they have asked about Japan. Germany is engaged in some kind of secret deal with North Manchuria that we don't know about, and they are all supporting the various initiatives of North Manchuria. Russia could have some effect, but their development was seriously lagging behind that of Northern Manchuria, and their strength in the Far East was very limited, and their intervention in the Manchurians did not necessarily care. Although the Qing State has just clashed with Northern Manchuria, the two sides have made peace, and North Manchuria has also provided the Qing State with a very large ironclad fleet, and the two sides are in the honeymoon period, and the Qing State will not support us. As for Italy, we have absolutely no need to consider them! William seemed to raise the bar, rejecting Carter's proposed countries one by one.

"Are we going to condone the shameless aggression of Northern Manchuria?" The British have never seen their own stains, but when they criticize others, they can always stand on the moral high ground, and Carter has played particularly well in this regard.

"The reason for the Manchurians to go to war was very high-sounding, they were not shameless aggression, but to clean up the Japanese imperial bloodline. They distributed many leaflets and provided evidence that Emperor Meiji of Japan was an impostor who murdered the previous emperor and Crown Prince Mujihito. Gokokoa is the in-law of the Japanese Imperial Family, and he has every reason to do these things, and this is also their family affair! William seems to be defending the acts of war in North Manchuria.

"Private family matters should be resolved in a private way, and private issues should not involve politics, let alone start wars." The West has made a clear distinction between public and private, and it has indeed done much better than the East.

The Manchurians testified to the fact that the current Meiji Emperor had committed a political murder and a coup d'état in the last years of Emperor Takamei, and that they were also trying to solve political problems. Moreover, in the worldview of the Orientals, the family affairs of the royal family are also political issues, and their personal problems and political problems are connected. William did his best to refute Carter, but no amount of truth he said could solve the problems facing Britain.

"Should we just sit back and watch Japan be annexed by North Manchuria?" Benjamin, who has not spoken, flashed his sword at the critical juncture, which could not solve the problem, but also solved William, who always wanted to be prime minister again.

"The British Empire currently has only two choices, if you don't want to sit back and watch Japan perish, you can only take the initiative and declare war on North Manchuria!" William was not surprised by Benjamin's sudden attack, and he was prepared for it.

As soon as William's words came out, the parliament fell into a long silence and declared war on Northern Manchuria, something that no one wanted to happen. Britain has invested heavily in the field of weapons research and development in recent years, and has also achieved fruitful results, but whether they can compete with North Manchuria, everyone's hearts are still very uncertain. The consequences of the deadlock between Britain, the number one power in the West, and North Manchuria, the number one power in the East, are very serious. Crossing the ocean to fight in Asia was by no means a good thing for Britain, and the consequences of defeat would be catastrophic. The two great powers of Germany and France on the European continent put a lot of pressure on Britain, and if they take advantage of the loophole, Asia is definitely not as important as Europe.

And because of the differences in the worldviews of Easterners and Westerners, it is necessary to be cautious in starting a war in Asia, otherwise it will definitely be a situation that will not end forever. The war between Europeans is more like a small gamble. Although everyone wins and loses, they will not hurt their muscles and bones, win and take advantage of it, and lose a step away. The war of the Orientals is a big gamble and hurts the body. Everyone is giving all their wealth and life to win, and if you win, you will reign in the world, and if you lose, you will die and the country will be destroyed. If the British could not achieve an overwhelming advantage, the rules of the war would definitely follow the Eastern routine, and the two sides would go to war around the world without dying, but Britain did not want to fight desperately with North Manchuria for Japan.

"Our warships and new artillery ......" Benjamin was a little tempted, and if he could defeat North Manchuria, he would become a hero of the British Empire.

"Our new warships are far ahead of France and Germany, and our new artillery has achieved great achievements, which are also incomparable to France and Germany, but whether they are more advanced than those of North Manchuria, is unknown. North Manchuria is a country full of secrets, they hide too many things, and we simply can't know how advanced the weapons they hide are. Judging only by the information available now, their level will only be higher than ours, and by no means lower than ours! After becoming an opposition party, William became a professional contrarian, splashing all kinds of cold water all over the sky.

"Their current main warships are still concentrated in the Nanyang Fleet, and those warships are all products of more than ten years ago, and they are very old. Other fleets, such as the North Sea, the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, the Pacific Sea, etc., are equipped with cruisers of smaller tonnage, and in addition to their extremely fast speed, there seems to be nothing particularly commendable. Even if their artillery is relatively advanced, the caliber is all about 150 mm, which does not pose a great threat! Benjamin, after exchanging views with the Secretary of State for Defense, made his point of view, and he always felt that the Royal Navy of the British Empire seemed to have the strength to defeat the Manchurian Navy.

"On the face of it, that's true. However, the strength of North Manchurian is by no means limited to this, they have just built a fleet for the Qing State, two of which are all more than 8,000 tons of tonnage, and are equipped with 360 mm caliber cannons. The warships produced by Northern Manchu for the Qing Dynasty have serious technical shrinkage problems, but I can deduce the approximate strength of Northern Manchuria. North Manchuria now has the absolute ability to produce large warships with a tonnage of 15,000 to more than 20,000 tons, and can install main guns with a caliber of more than 400 millimeters for warships. "William also has military experts who are well versed in military affairs.

"Hmm...... Put all the pressure on North Manchuria, but do your best to avoid a direct war with them! "The British were angry, but they were also helpless.
