Chapter 155: I'm Killing You, What's the Matter?
"Not necessarily, I think the news of your arrival in Munich must have reached Russia, where your hotel is just across the street from the Russian representative office in Bavaria. I'll have to wait and see what kind of price the Russians offer. Prince Ruprecht said disappreciatively.
"It is impossible for the Russians to buy back these two battleships, the dignity of the great powers and the attitude of the French make it impossible to restore the deal. And if you take 10,000 steps back, even if the Russians want to buy it back, can you accept the price of 700,000 pounds? Mutsu Munemitsu immediately retorted.
"I can't figure out what you can figure out?" Prince Ruprecht glanced at the other with an idiot-like look. "The Russians won't buy this battleship, but it doesn't mean that the Russians will sit idly by and watch this battleship fall into the hands of the Japanese, right? You're not the only participant? There are 3 more players in this game! Spain is as determined as you are! ”
"Well, then, isn't Spain short of money? It doesn't matter, the Russians can take out loans, the Russians don't have money, the French can take out loans, the French care about the fact that these two warships can't fall into the hands of the Russians, as for the hands of other people, he doesn't care, and the loan can get interest, France, as a usury country, will not give up this deal, two, do you think this is the truth? Of course, you can believe it or not, it doesn't matter, we can wait! "His Royal Highness the Prince's words are sharp! Like a long sword, the self-confidence of the two people on the opposite side was pierced into a sieve!
"It's a demon!" If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't done an exorcism, Mutsu Munemitsu would have wanted to use a charm or something else to put it on the other person's face! This guy is too powerful! Not to mention the ineffective attack of the mouth cannon, he forced himself into a corner. Now it is obvious that there is no way to continue talking, and Mutsu Muneko subconsciously seems to stop negotiating, but will Ruprecht give him this opportunity? Apparently not!
"Think about it, you guys, the conditions you're offering now are not tempting at all. After I went back, I quickly asked for instructions from home, and then we had a good talk, and I can still call the shots in the current affairs alone, and if the Russians interfere through the German central government, then everything will be difficult to say. At that time, it may not matter if I make less money, but the plans of Britain and Japan may go wrong, right? Prince Ruprecht's words at this time can already be described as threatening.
"£820,000 is always okay, right? We ask for only one, and if the price of other countries is lower than ours, we hope that you will execute the transaction according to the principle of a businessman. Mutsu Munemitsu felt like his heart was bleeding when he said this! The buzzing of his head almost made him faint. Even the insider of this matter knows very well that this business must be closed, even if he knows that the other party wants to kill Japan, he must endure it!
To some extent, there is no way back for Japan, because this time Russia has intervened, and who knows what decision Nicholas II will ultimately make? As Ruprecht said, Bavaria could not have lost more than a little less money. And if Japan loses, it may have to catch the national fortune! This destabilizing factor in Russia is terrible. No one dares to take any chances.
"You're playing with fire, you're challenging the British Empire!" Lord Hamilton didn't expect things to turn out like this either! Suddenly said a little angrily.
"The British Empire, it's terrible. But I would like to say that His Majesty Frederick III is also very dissatisfied with what your country has done before, what do you think the British Empire will do? I am looking forward to your country's pressure on the two royal families, Germany and Russia. His Royal Highness's eyes were full of disdain. Everyone knows the bad things that the British did in the First Sino-Japanese War. The after-effects of this incident have not yet passed. What other excesses do you want to do in Europe? Is it true that the other great powers of the European continent are muddy?
His Royal Highness the Prince almost said: "If you have the ability, you can try it!" "Of course, if it's the British Prime Minister sitting across from him, it's interesting to say that, a Lord of the British Navy, what if he's really angry? It's not interesting at all. Ruprecht is a little uninterested in an opponent of this level. It's too broiler!
"In addition, I would like to tell you a secret that the Russian ambassador to Germany has asked me through private channels about the whereabouts of these two warships. Hurry up, it's too late and there's nothing! ”
"Since everyone is talking about a deal, then you must come up with benefits, and don't try to force me to submit with some kind of pressure, you don't represent the British Empire. Japan can't put any pressure on me, so put away your ridiculous threats and face up to this negotiation. After Prince Ruprecht finished speaking, he signaled that the negotiations between the two had ended, and you could go. His Royal Highness then got up and left the venue, ignoring the British and Japanese delegates who were seated.
"If the Russians intervene, things will be in trouble. Spending a little more money is really not a problem compared to this hassle. Lord Hamilton whispered.
"You know, maybe we need to rely on the strength of other countries." Mutsu Munemitsu sighed. He was in a far worse mood than he appeared, and he seemed to sense that Ruprecht already knew something. And if this prince reveals what he knows, it will definitely trigger something that can shake the whole world! The price is too high.
"Actually, the United States doesn't want Russia to be too strong. At the same time, the United States would not allow these two warships to fall into the hands of the Spaniards. You're right, we should unite the majority. Lord Hamilton said thoughtfully.
The contradictions between the United States and Spain are now well known. The two sides fought over the West Indies. Although the Cold War was still going on, the Americans were certainly not willing to make the Spanish fleet stronger. Dewey's visit to Germany some time ago did not hide from the eyes and ears of the British. At this time, the Americans sent a person who had an old relationship with His Royal Highness the prince to come here and figure out what to do with his knees.
The Lord knew very well that he and the Japanese government were at a disadvantage if they wanted to confront Russia, and that he was carrying out this task in a private capacity. And the Russians are taking an official status. Frederick III did not have a good relationship with England, but not so much with Russia, after all, the breach of the treaty was directed against Bavaria, and Prussia had little effect. If the Russians insist on the intervention of the German government, and are willing to pay some benefits, the two ships may indeed be eaten by the Spaniards, which is not what the British, Japanese, and American are willing to see at the moment.
