I have to say that the efficiency of the Japanese is still very high, and during the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese were far less arrogant than later generations. It's just a small country that has just risen, and it has beaten the country next to it that has rotted to the bone. In front of those world-class countries with real NB, Japan is really nothing, otherwise France and Germany would not have built an armored cruiser each!

This time the events in the Far East made Germany very depressed, but it was only a matter of depression, a matter of face. And the Japanese style is really half-dead! Just one Mainz-class armored cruiser spelled out almost half of the capital ships of the Japanese Navy! Now this ship is still wandering at sea, covering the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the Sea of Japan and the East Coast of Japan! In the space of 2 months, the battleship has sunk at least fifteen transports of various kinds! 2,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 5,000 tons of various supplies were sunk into the sea to feed the fish. And the Japanese Navy just didn't catch it! There's no way, don't dare to divide the troops!

Now the affairs of the Navy are not over, and the Army is also disgusted to death! There are only 2,500 people on the other side, and the strength of the army is less than one-sixth of a German division! Just this little force made the Japanese depressed enough. The Germans clearly told Japan in a series of actions, don't look at your brother is far away from you, don't look at the British covering you. But if we want to, we can still kill you!

Aoki Shuzo, who received orders from home, immediately contacted the British, expressing his willingness to reconcile with Germany and hoping that the British would be able to match. At the same time, the British used the personal and government connections of the royal family members to send a goodwill signal to Germany, expressing their willingness to provide material help to the German fleet in the Far East. The original restrictions have been lifted.

And the Queen of England also wrote a personal letter, hoping that the British princess, as the queen of Germany, could blow the pillow wind to the old king.

And the Japanese are even more simply, first of all, a bunch of various orders and purchase intentions are thrown at German companies without money, and spend a lot of money to lobby some German dignitaries and newspapers, hoping that they can dilute the conflict and influence of the two sides in the Far East, and at the same time, the foreign elephant Mutsu Munemitsu personally went out, in a handwritten letter to Bismarck, the Japanese promised that if Japan had a sphere of influence in the Qing State, then the Germans would enjoy the same rights as Japan! Of course, it's too early to say this, after all, don't the Japanese get nothing?

In the face of the kneeling and licking of the Japanese, the reaction of the German government from top to bottom is still relatively flat, on the one hand, they feel that the Japanese are not sincere enough, and on the other hand, the Russian-German relations are now good, and the Japanese are just so sincere like splitting Russia and Germany? What do you think? The Russians have already stated in advance that Russian and German merchants are equal in the Russian sphere of influence, right? Therefore, Japan's overtures are not very useful. This really corresponds to Hirofumi Ito's words, the improvement of the relationship between the two sides is a long-term process!

"Shuzo Aoki? This guy is a historical celebrity, he's coming to Bavaria? Listening to Count Schelling's report, Ruprecht muttered to himself. This guy must be trying to defuse the current Japanese pressure in the northeast of the Qing Kingdom. I want the Bavarian royal army to raise its hand.

"This time, because it was not a regular war, the Prussian General Staff did not use the wartime military command power, and the attitude of the Kingdom of Bavaria will directly determine the actions of the Blue Army, and the Japanese are looking at this, so they hope that Bavaria can raise their noble hands, and both sides will take a step back, and the Japanese also expressed their willingness to order a large number of arms from Germany to arm the Japanese army." Count Schelling explained.

"Do the Japanese have a lot of orders? Enough to compensate for our consumption and face in the Far East? What is the attitude of the central government? Ruprecht asked, thinking for a moment.

"At least from the point of view of the kingdom, we have taught the Japanese a lesson, and the Japanese are willing to pay sufficient compensation, and the Japanese have already indicated that after the end of the war, they will order weapons and various equipment worth at least 10 million marks from the kingdom, and there is a meaning of ordering warships." Count Schelling replied.

"It looks like my cheap dad is ready to stop!" Ruprecht figured out which wind was blowing. The Japanese did not know before they came, that is, the royal family had blocked the news from them, and did not want Ruprecht to fail the meeting due to personal problems.

Subsequently, today Count Schelling suddenly mentioned this matter and explained that Japan intends to buy Bavarian arms, so it means that his father and grandfather have agreed in principle to ease relations between the two sides, as for how to ease the relationship, it depends on the situation. The tone has been set, and it doesn't matter if you agree with it or not! If there is an overreaction, it will cause dissatisfaction among the elders.

"Oh, if this is the case, we will have an advantage in negotiations with the Russians. Tell the Russians that I've been busy lately, so I'll put it back another week! After pondering for a moment, His Royal Highness the Prince said with a slight smile.

"Cunning little one!" Two hours later, Count Schelling relayed Ruprecht's words word for word to His Highness ****. And this cheap dad of Ruprecht quickly figured out what Ruprecht thought.

This kid still has a deep hostility towards Japan, perhaps because he was almost shot at first. Maybe it was something else, but he still didn't want to get close to the Japanese. But at the same time, he can recognize his status very well, and he did not forcibly contradict the things decided by himself and the regent, but vaguely mentioned the current and Russian orders!

"Then let's do it first, tell Viscount Schmidt that the offensive of the Blue Legion can be slowed down, our goal has been achieved, to deter Japan, to obtain economic benefits, then buy it, there is no need to leave the blood of Bavarian soldiers on foreign land. As for the rest? Just deal with it first. His Royal Highness thought about it and said.

The order of the Russians for two 10,000-ton armored cruisers is enough to overwhelm all the benefits promised by the Japanese, not to mention the fact that the current Bavarian Southern Industrial Group is the only supplier of armor for the Russian Navy, and the Japanese can only buy peace!

At the same time, the Japanese ambassador to Britain made a special trip to visit the Kingdom of Bavaria, and was received by His Royal Highness ****, which also reached the ears of the Russians, who had been waiting in Munich for more than a month, and Makanov and Parikin, who had been a little impatient, were really afraid! If the Japanese really ordered battleships from the Germans, then it would be a disaster for the Russian Navy!

The second more will be offered ~~~, tomorrow on Sanjiang ~~~, if you have a Sanjiang ticket, I hope to help ~~~, Sanjiang ticket does not cost money, thank you!
