c_t; Fisher's heart skipped a beat when he heard Balfour's 'gloomy' words, and it seemed that the Prime Minister was still too prejudiced against China, and this vigilance was too heavy. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]（）--

Fisher smiled bitterly: "Mr. Prime Minister, I'm afraid that it is impossible to stop the rise of China with Japan alone, the gap between the two sides is too big, if we follow this development trend, I am afraid that within 20 years, China will be another United States, even more terrifying than the United States, after all, the United States just wants to make more money, and does not care much about the military, the United States' military strength is very limited, but China is different, these hundreds of thousands of Chinese revolutionary army, after 20 years, will be so strong." , no one could have imagined that the development is too fast! ”

Balfour's face changed slightly, nodded, and said: "Well, it's true, Japan's national weakness, although the force is not weak, but the foundation is too thin, even if there are Java Islands, it will be thrown farther and farther away by China, what good can you do?" ”

Fisher pondered for a moment, then replied, "There is also a gun, if we use it, it must be of good effect!" ”

Balfour was stunned, so a gun? Which one?

Fisher replied: "India! We support India's aggression against China, and in this way, Japan in the east and India in the west will definitely form a huge containment on China! ”

Balfour's heart jumped, and then he said angrily: "Nonsense, India is the most important colony of the empire in Asia, no matter what, India will never be allowed to have any accidents, once we support India against China, then we must loosen the ties to the local natives of India, it is very dangerous, other Asian colonies have problems, we can still accept it, if India goes to the **, then we are the sinners of the empire, and our cabinet will have to resign collectively without parliamentary impeachment!" ”

Fisher's face was flushed, something he hadn't really thought about.

Balfour said hatefully: "Since we can't use India, then there is only Tsarist Russia, I hope that the arrogant Nicholas II has not forgotten the Chinese tiger's hatred." There are illusions about the recovering of the lost territories of the Far East, and as long as Nicholas II had this mind, we would have done much easier......"

Fisher said suddenly: "Mr. Prime Minister, in fact, at this time, we are not the most anxious. The most anxious should be the arrogant fellows of France, you think. If China settles down, the most likely threat in the future is Vietnam under French occupation, after all, it was originally Chinese territory, and it is not impossible to fully recover Vietnam with Zhang Jianzhi's strong national self-esteem! ”

Balfour's eyes lit up. Fisher's sentence is to the point, France should be more anxious, whether it is India or Malay is far away from China, but Vietnam is different, not to mention Vietnam or the 'meat' that France took directly from China's mouth?

Belfort nodded, 'Yin' and 'Yin' smiled: "Well, this matter." It seems that I also need to discuss with that old fellow Lubey, but I'm afraid that he is also playing the drum in his heart now, hehe......"

While the two were talking, an official came up to him and said, "Mr. Prime Minister." General Fisher, Japanese Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito asked for a meeting outside the 'door'. ”

Balfour frowned, this Ito Hirobumi has also been here for a few days, frequently visiting the bigwigs of British politics, actively advocating the empire's participation in the Sino-Japanese war, jumping up and down, very active. Now that he came to see himself, I am afraid that he felt that the time was almost ripe.

Balfour said lightly, "Please let him in." ”

In just a dozen seconds, Ito Hirobumi had already walked in in a hurry, and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Prime Minister, I'm really sorry to bother you again, sorry, sorry." ”

Now Ito Hirofumi's face is dark yellow, and his eyes are red, obviously he hasn't really rested during this time. He didn't have the strength to rest, he had already received the news that the Imperial Navy fleet had been defeated and suffered heavy losses, and as soon as he heard the news, he was frightened!

If the Imperial Navy is completely defeated, then the Empire will have nothing to rely on, don't tell him that the Imperial Japanese Army can defeat the Chinese Revolutionary Army, in this case, he himself does not believe it! Although the strength of the Imperial Army is above that of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, you can't help but have a thick foundation, and if the navy is defeated, then Japan has no hope.

Ito Hirobumi sent a telegram to Tachimi Shangwen at the first time, trying to ask Yu Ji about this Zhiduoxing, but only to know at this time that Limi Shangwen was wounded, and the war in Taiwan had been temporarily 'handed over' to Kuroki Weizhen for the time being.

Lijian Shangwen's telegram was very simple: the defeat is certain and irretrievable, and the aid of Britain and France is ready to retreat!

When Ito Hirofumi saw the callback, his heart was already completely cold, and even Tsumi Naofi thought that there was no hope, so what else could he do?

The telegram from Naowen made it very clear that the alliance with Britain and France did not mean that Britain and France should send troops to the war again, but that they should try their best to take the initiative in the negotiations after the defeat in the future, so as to take precautions.

Ito Hirobumi has not closed his eyes for the past two days, just thinking about countermeasures, he has deep connections in the UK, but political matters are completely determined by interests, and the current situation is already obvious, although it is immediately seen that Shangwen has temporarily gained an advantage in Taiwan, but this advantage is not very obvious, the navy has suffered heavy losses, and North Korea is also developing in an unfavorable situation.

These politicians scramble to surround you when they have benefits, and once they are in trouble, one runs faster than the other, and the word love is bullshit in the eyes of politicians!

Ito Hirobumi looked at Balfort and Fisher in front of him, steadied his mind, and said: "Mr. Balfour, this Sino-Japanese war can be said to have been instigated by your country behind it, and now the situation of our Great Japanese Empire is critical, if your country really does nothing, this is only afraid of ......."

Balfour said lightly: "Mr. Ito Hirobumi, in this case, you have to be cautious, the British Empire is agitating behind your back?" If this reaches the ears of the Chinese, then how can the relationship between our two countries get along? ”

Ito Hirofumi's face turned pale, and he said unwillingly: "Yes, Mr. Balfour, this is put aside for the time being, but as an ally, His Majesty the Emperor still hopes to be able to further obtain the support and assistance of your country, without your country's support and assistance, our original strategy of containing China's rise will come to naught, I think, Mr. Balfour does not want to sit idly by and watch China sit big, dominate Asia, and even affect the inherent world political pattern, right?" ”

Balfour said unhappily: "Ito Hirobumi, you know, in order to support you, we have given you a lot of financial support, the end of the Japanese-Dutch naval battle, we even transferred some of the warships we deserve to your country, you yourself are not angry, so who can blame!" ”
