Chapter 1152: Confrontation

Listening to Balfour's disdainful tone, Ito Hirobumi at this time was also full of shame, too, although England did not send troops to assist them in the war with the Republic of China, but they did not help less, military aid of 6 million pounds, military loans of 10 million pounds, all of which have been delivered to Japan, in order to enhance Japan's combat power, even the best warships in the Dutch Navy were given to Japan, which can also be said to be benevolent and righteous.

However, as for Japan, Adou, who can't be supported at all now, has no good news except for the fact that Shangwen has just won a battle in Taiwan.

Kodama Gentaro's army has already lost four divisions, as for Kuroki Weizhen, the current loss of troops, I am afraid that it is also close to four divisions, which adds up, but the main force of the Japanese army of more than 100,000, the loss of 300,000 elites has been close to half, do you still want to let England send troops directly?

Ito Hirobumi sighed and said: "Mr. Balfour, the problem has been placed here, I think you also know that the Republic of China is developing too fast, and their new weapons are emerging in an endless stream, which has brought great deterrence to our empire, not that the imperial warriors are not brave in battle, not that the imperial generals are not excellent, it is really that this Chinese revolutionary army is too difficult to deal with, you don't know, how long has it been, at the beginning, the British, French, Russian and Japanese coalition forces were all defeated, not to mention that now there is only one Japan, It is very good that we have been able to hold out until now, Mr. Balfour, I still want to say that your country can directly send troops to directly threaten the southeast coast or Taiwan, so that Zhang Jianzhi's main force can go south, and take this good opportunity for our Imperial Army to take the three eastern provinces on the basis of this, and when the time comes, the great economic interests of the United States and Germany in the three eastern provinces, the Great Japanese Empire is willing to surrender ......"

Fisher's face on the side changed greatly, **** Ito Hirofumi, you are trying to lead the troubles to the east and completely drag our British Empire into the quagmire!

Balfour's face suddenly became gloomy, this Ito Hirofumi is doing death, death!

Balfour shouted angrily: "Ito Hirobumi, you have a good calculation? Surrender all the rights and interests of the United States and Germany in the three eastern provinces? Lao Tzu just let your little Japan eat it, can you eat it? Although the British Empire is invincible, we are not stupid enough to turn against Germany and the United States at the same time, or even fight each other! Once Germany and the United States are involved, it will be a never-ending world war! Can you afford it? ”

Ito Hirobumi's face was like a bitter melon, he meant to use this as a price, saying that England sent troops, such a huge benefit, presumably Belfour would be tempted, I didn't expect that this would bring such terrible consequences later, think about it, now Germany is fighting for colonies all over the world, it is almost crazy, and the eyeballs have already grabbed red, at this time Britain and Japan have stolen Germany's economic interests in the three eastern provinces, I am afraid that Germany will immediately start a full-scale war with Britain and Japan!

Ito Hirofumi also regretted saying such a thing, which made Balfour despise himself even more for no reason, but the matter still has to be discussed.

Hirobumi Ito took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Balfour, I apologize to you for the inappropriate and immature words just now. I have another suggestion, and that is to implore your country to send out its navy to annihilate the Chinese naval fleet for the sake of the Japanese Empire, and as long as there is no Chinese naval fleet, I think we still have some chance of winning, Mr. Balfour, and I beg you to ......."

Before Balfour could speak, Fisher sneered and replied: "Ito Hirobumi, don't waste your time, let our British Empire send the navy to annihilate the Republic of China, you dare to think of such a thing, the former We sent the navy to help you clean up the Dutch Navy, we have already received huge political pressure around the world, and it has not been completely eased up until now, and now you want us to annihilate the Chinese Navy fleet, are you dreaming?" Taking a step back, even if we were willing to send the Imperial Navy, so what? Is the Chinese naval fleet so easy to destroy? Although the strength of our navy is the best in the world, but it is not without potential enemies, now the Chinese naval fleet has been equipped with a large number of fighters, once a big war is going to start, in the face of the Chinese naval fleet of fighter groups, even if we can win the battle, we will have to pay a great price, this price is even more than twice the loss of the Chinese naval fleet, or even more! ”

Hirobumi Ito replied: "General Fisher, I think that as long as we can see the destruction of the Huaxia naval fleet, it is absolutely worth it for us to make such a sacrifice, and it is a big deal to take China as our own, and the huge economic benefits can make your country's losses multiply in just a few years......

Fisher sneered: "Hirobumi Ito, you are dreaming! If we want to completely annihilate the Huaxia Navy fleet, we have estimated that at least the Imperial Navy will lose more than twenty warships, or even more! Although the Imperial Navy is strong, it will definitely hurt the muscles and bones to lose so much at once! If our navy has suffered huge losses, which country will be suppressed by the Germany on the other side? Now Germany is looking for an opportunity to seize the colonies through war, and without the guarantee of the navy, the whole world will face the threat of German soldiers, even your Japanese archipelago! And our British Empire is the first to bear the brunt, that kind of deal is too cost-effective, you don't have to expect extravagance, our empire will never send troops! ”

Hirobumi Ito listened to Fisher's words and fell into complete despair!

Originally, before the defeat of the navy, Ito Hirobumi was only pulling some "sponsorship", after the defeat, he had already understood that even if he brought in "sponsorship", it would have no effect, the current Japanese military blood loss is too serious, and now it has shown evil consequences, and the newly replenished Japanese army is a group of recruits who have not undergone any training, and they are pure cannon fodder on the battlefield, a group of peasants with guns! How could it be the opponent of the Tiger and Wolf Division of the Republic of China?

It's over, it's completely over!

Balfour glanced at Ito Hirobumi lightly and said: "Mr. Ito, the best way for you now is to stop the war immediately, withdraw from Taiwan and the Northeast Battlefield, preserve your strength, and wait for the opportunity, if you continue to fight, even the current army will be reduced to ashes, I am by no means alarmist, as a politician, you should know how to make trade-offs!" ”

Ito Hirobumi smiled bitterly and immediately ceased the war, to put it simply, how could his stubborn and excessive Emperor His Majesty admit defeat? As long as there is this glimmer of hope, he will never give up!

Long before the war, Tsumi Naowen stopped His Majesty the Emperor several times, but His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and he almost shot this buddy, who can persuade him?
