Subtitle of this chapter: What is pretending? This is called pretending!

"How could you not have thought that what is going on in Ireland is your ......?"

Speaking of this, our Master Yuan naturally stopped abruptly and began to swallow clouds and spit out fog again.

The appetite of the three neon gold was raised high by his style, and they couldn't help but stretch their necks and ask in unison, "What does it matter to us?!" ”

Yuan Yanqian spread out his hands and said as a matter of course: "Anglo-Japanese Alliance!" ”

"Anglo-Japanese alliance?"

The Sino-Japanese War of 1894, known to Japan as the Sino-Japanese War, and the First Sino-Japanese War in the West, was a battle of national fortune between China and Japan, two East Asian neighbors. After all, the destiny of the country and the nation must be forged with iron and blood.

One of the consequences of the First Sino-Japanese War was the Anglo-Japanese alliance.

In order to curb Russia's ambitions in the Far East, Britain had to find an alliance in Northeast Asia. Of course, they couldn't have looked for me, the Luther of the Great Qing Dynasty, so they found Wenna's little Japan. Little Japan, on the other hand, was deeply humiliated by the fact that France, the Independence Kingdom, and the Lu Kingdom forced it to spit out the Liaodong Peninsula, that is, the "intervention of the three countries to return Liaodong". Of course, whoever is a neighbor with Lao Maozi has to bear that heart.

As a result, the two countries hit it off and signed three treaties of alliance in 1902, 1905, and 1911. For Britain, it was a military offensive and defensive alliance against Russia, and for little Japan, it was a tool of war against China and Korea.

Therefore, the Anglo-Japanese alliance was quite important for Japan, especially for the Japanese Navy. In the secret clause, it is stipulated that the navies of the two countries should cooperate in their actions to maintain superiority in the waters of the Far East.

Then the problem now is that Russia, which the Anglo-Japanese alliance is aimed at, has become Red Russia, and they are holding the banner of national liberation, and for the time being they do not have the ambition to inherit Tsarist Russia and go south to wash their military boots in the western Pacific and Indian Oceans. This military alliance treaty was somewhat redundant for Britain.

In 1921, the ten-year renewal period of the Third Anglo-Japanese Alliance had arrived!

However, these three naval elites of the Great Japanese Empire still did not understand what Yuan Yanqian meant. What did the Irish War of Independence have to do with the Anglo-Japanese alliance?

"Of course it has a relationship, it has a big relationship!"

"You don't believe me?" Our Master Yuan looked at the three neon gold with bewildered faces, and suddenly pointed at the American next to him and said, "If you don't believe me, we can ask Major Chandler." ”

"Me?!" Julian, who was pulled in inexplicably, also felt very confused.

Yuan Yanqian didn't wait for them to react, and asked directly, "Well, Mr. Chandler." Let me ask you a question, as an American, what do you think of what's going on over there in Ireland? ”

"Your Excellency of Justice" said with full righteousness: "We Americans naturally hate such a brutal act of the British Empire, and we are 120,000 willing to support the Irish people in their pursuit of the just cause of national liberation!" ”

Master Yuan nodded appreciatively and continued to ask, "Then Major Chandler, as a former American officer, what do you think of the alliance between the British and our Japanese friends?" Of course, there are no state secrets involved, you just need to say it according to your military education. ”

The former army officer groaned slightly, glanced at the three neon golds, and replied honestly, "Is this...... Naturally, I hope that this covenant will be annulled next year. I'm not targeting my Japanese friends, but the Pacific Ocean could have been a sea of peace for the United States, China, Japan, and other countries, and there really wasn't much need for an Anglo-Japanese alliance. ”

Mr. Chandler Jr. was a career officer who graduated from West Point, and although he was a second-class soldier in the U.S. military, he must have read "The Theory of Sea Power" and geopolitical works, and it is not surprising that he said such things. (Author's note: The US imperialists do not have an air force now, so the army can still be regarded as a second-class person.) ）

The logic is simple, if the Anglo-Japanese alliance can be directed against Russia, it will naturally be able to turn around against the United States.

"Sea of Peace...... That's all right! Yuan Yanqian turned his head to look at his Japanese "friends" and said, "Hear me, my friends, isn't this obvious?" ”

Nomura Kichizaburo said incomprehensibly: "Obviously?!" ”

Inoue Narumi also asked suspiciously, "Where is it?" ”

"Sandisne!" Only Yamamoto fifty-six slapped his thigh and said loudly, "This is so obvious!" ”

The other two asked in Japanese at the same time, "Yamamoto-kun, do you mean ......?"

"The state of affairs that Mr. Yuan said is indeed very obvious." Yamamoto Nakasa glanced at the indifferent Master Yuan with admiration, and continued to explain, "The United States has been dissatisfied with the Anglo-Japanese alliance for a long time, and has long wanted to pressure our two countries to abolish the treaty. Now Britain is not only preoccupied with its own affairs, but also hopes that the United States will not support the Irish and not recognize their commitment to independence. In this way......"

Inoue Narumi suddenly said: "In this way, the Mi Congress will use this as a condition to demand that Britain end its alliance with us!" ”

Nomura Kichizaburo frowned and said thoughtfully, "This is true...... Quite possibly! ”

The three naval officers stood up at the same time, their six eyes staring at Yuan Yanqian with blazing eyes, and there were only two words in their hearts, that is, "genius"!

That's right, if our Master Yuan relied on logical reasoning alone to form a complete chain of events from these seemingly unrelated events, he would definitely be called a genius.

Their hearts were shocked, Yuan Datiancai's heart did not fluctuate, and his face was also a dog head with a wisdom bead in his hand...... Well, the demeanor of the Great Army.

In fact, this force is trivial for the traverser. Because that's what was going to happen in the original time?

In 1921, Britain really terminated the Anglo-Japanese alliance because of pressure from the United States, and even if Crown Prince Hirohito visited Britain in person, it would be useless. Little Japan felt betrayed by the British because of this, so there was the term "British ghost animal".

Of course, in addition to myself, this, this seems to be a little embarrassed to say that I am at a high level. Anyway, it's hard to say whether the other traversers can pretend to come out.

"Dududu, the host S-value has increased by 5%, and it is now 93%. Ask the host to be mindful of their own speech. ”

In fact, compared to Master Yuan's behavior of "leaking" history, the S value of this increase is not very high. The reason is that this inference is still very logical and really a reasonable deduction.

The three neon gold nodded tacitly, and then bowed very respectfully, and Nomura Kichizaburo said sincerely: "Mr. Yuan, it's better to be famous than to meet." It's really an honor to meet someone like you today. Thank you very much for this great news......"

"Now we're leaving!"

Why are you in such a hurry to leave, I haven't finished my sentence yet?

Understood, this is to go back and write a report in a hurry!
