Soon, Britain, France, and Russia received a telegram from Hirobumi Ito, asking the three countries to mediate the dispute, and in order to impress the three countries, they even offered three large islands as a price. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com] copy the URL to visit

London, Balfour was so angry with the stupid Japanese that he was smoking, specially, Lao Tzu is doing his best here, and he is competing with Germany, why do you always pull Lao Tzu back? What the hell do you want your ally to have an egg for?

Balfour was really.

But so what?

Really sit idly by?

Balfour really wants to give up the stinky chess of Little Japan now, it's just Adou who can't be supported!

Fisher, who was on the side, said, "What should I do? Mr. Prime Minister, this is a tricky matter, more than 1,000 people have lost their lives, including Zuo Gongliu, the special envoy of the President of the Republic of China, such a big enemy, that Chinese tiger will definitely not give up! ”

Balfour said angrily: "Of course I know, mediation? Where is it that simple? I'm afraid that even if the Chinese Tiger agrees to mediate, the conditions will be absolutely harsh, and it is definitely not something that the Japanese can bear! ”

Foreign Minister Crane said: "Mr. Prime Minister, President Lubet has called to ask about our country's attitude, what should we do, and we must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible!" ”

Balfour took a deep breath and replied: "In any case, we must not offend the Republic of China, we still have to rely on them to get as many planes and other weapons as possible, without these, we will not be able to confront Germany, this is already a dead knot." ”

Crane nodded and replied, "Yes, Prime Minister, I don't think we can completely side with Japan, after all, now because of Princess Alice, the relationship between the two countries has begun to ease, and once there is another conflict." That's a wasted effort. ”

Balfour nodded, she thought so too, but completely abandoned Japan? This is also a little too difficult, after all, the Anglo-Japanese alliance treaty is still in force, as the younger brother of the British Empire, he abandoned it like this, so who will follow this big brother in the future? Not to mention a large island. At the very least, there are tens of thousands of square kilometers, which is a lot of interest. If you don't eat the meat in your mouth, you'll be a fool.

Fisher, who was on the side, suddenly said in a deep voice: "Mr. Prime Minister, we don't care about Japan, the most important thing, we can't watch the Java Islands fall into the hands of the Republic of China, where the position is too important!" ”

Balfour was shocked and asked, "General Fisher, what do you mean?" ”

Fisher replied in a deep voice: "Mr. Prime Minister, the strength of the Chinese Revolutionary Army is getting stronger and stronger. At the same time, the alliance between them and Germany is also unbreakable, although they have not joined the camp of the Central Powers, but no one can say that when the time comes, they will tear off their masks and directly send troops to help Germany, in the Asia-Pacific, the most important position is the Strait of Malacca, which is now under the control of the Empire. If the Chinese Revolutionary Army occupies the Java Islands, it means that the Chinese Revolutionary Army in Java and Sumatra can launch a surprise attack on the Malay Peninsula at any time. ”

Balford was shocked. Came to the map, Belfort looked carefully, then do you still need to look, Java Island and the Malay Archipelago are originally a strip of water, and the nearest place is only more than 100 kilometers, if the Chinese Revolutionary Army attacks the Strait of Malacca. You don't even have to send warships, their warplanes can even fly over for long-range bombing! Not to mention an Asian fleet, even if the two main fleets of the British Empire are there, there is no guarantee that it will be safe and sound!

Belfort stood in front of the map in a daze, and suddenly roared: "No, no matter what, we must prevent the Republic of China from occupying the Java Islands, even if the Chinese Revolutionary Army bombs up Japan, Lao Tzu doesn't care, but the Java Islands must not fall into the hands of the Chinese tigers, this is too dangerous for the empire!" ”

Fisher smiled bitterly: "That's not all! If the Chinese Revolutionary Army occupies the Java Islands, they can threaten Australia if they go south, and they can enter the Indian Ocean to threaten India when they move west Chinese......

Fisher is worthy of a generation of famous generals, and he knows the military status of Java well, and his words are like knives, stabbing Belfour's heart all at once, and Belfort is a little crazy!

Balfour roared: "Call Nicholas II and Lubé immediately, ask the two countries to jointly come forward, the three countries to jointly intervene in this matter, and ask China and Japan to resolve this dispute peacefully, and we are willing to personally send a special envoy to mediate!" ”

However, Zhang Yi, who is far away in China, does not intend to give them such an opportunity.

In three days, the Eighth Army and the Central Army were all transported by train, and the three main fleets had already arrived at Qingdao and Guangzhou.

Mo Qi and Cai Yi immediately reported to the General Staff and asked for further instructions.

In the presidential palace, Zhang Yi got a report from Xu Huaijin and Wu Peifu, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since we are ready, then we are ready to do a big job, order, the Eighth Army will immediately board the ship and go to Java with the South China Sea Fleet, I will give Cai Yi a month to fully defeat the Japanese army and master all the situation in Java!" ”

Xu Huaijin and Wu Peifu heard the figure and said loudly: "Yes, instructor!" ”

Before the two of them could go down and issue an order, Staff Officer Long Tinghai ran in and said, "President, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent an urgent telegram!" ”

Zhang Yi stretched out his right hand and held the telegram in his hand: A letter to General Zhang Jianzhi, President of the Republic of China, said that the matter in Java was rushed and was not the wish of the Japanese subjects. On the occasion of this incident, I am deeply sorry, the empire has recalled the governor of the temple to await trial, once the situation is true, it will be punished with capital punishment, in order to thank Youbang, and please ask the general to think of world peace and turn hostility into jade......

Zhang Yi hadn't even finished reading the telegram, he had already tore the telegram to shreds and yelled: "Want to ask for peace? Dream! The blood debt of the Chinese people must be drifted with the blood of Dongying to relieve the hatred in Lao Tzu's heart! Order Liang Cheng to call back and refuse the request for peace talks, if he wants to fight, I will fight! (To be continued.)
