Wilhelm II was in a panic, but Belfort in England was in a tangle.

Buckingham Palace, now Balfour doesn't know what else to do?

Originally, Zhang Yi of the Republic of China secretly met with him through the minister in Britain to transfer aircraft technology to the British Empire in order to obtain the support of the British Empire in the negotiations.

Balfour convened an emergency meeting of military and political dignitaries overnight to seek a countermeasure, and for a while, two factions with clear barriers were formed at the meeting, one group advocated taking down aircraft technology and abandoning Japan, as long as there was aircraft technology and even production, then it would be completely possible to suppress the German Empire and consolidate the hegemony of the British Empire in the world, as for the Republic of China, their strength might be able to pose a threat to the British Empire in the Far East, and the disease of scabies is not enough to be a problem; The other faction advocates continuing to support Japan in containing China, because China's future potential is too great, and it is absolutely impossible to allow China to have room to take off for the sake of a little immediate interests; moreover, once the current alliance at the negotiating table is destroyed, it will be extremely difficult to form the current situation.

The two sides argued all night, and they did not distinguish between high and low.

The next morning, unexpectedly, this originally very secret matter, turned out to be known to everyone overnight, the British government completely fell into passivity, France, Germany, the United States and other countries, all sent telegrams to the Prime Minister's Office, asking what was going on in the British Empire, at this juncture, why didn't such important information be reported, did Britain want to eat alone? France, in particular, was even more angry, and it was completely a helper, but as a result, it charged in front, and the British actually hooked up with the Republic of China in the back, and the most infuriating thing was that the Republic of China wanted to transfer aircraft technology. The British did not even inform the French of such an important matter, this is completely the rhythm of eating alone!

French President Lubet's lungs are about to explode.

Balfour is now in a completely embarrassing situation, and he doesn't know what to do, so he has to inform the countries in advance, and he has just received the news about this matter. Before he had time to confirm the authenticity of the news, he gave perfunctory instructions to governments.

Next. Balfour again convened an urgent cabinet meeting to discuss what to do.

At this time, Foreign Minister Schlau stood up and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, first of all, we must confirm the sincerity of the Republic of China, and the transfer of aircraft technology is not a trivial matter, which can be said to be the most powerful hole card in the hands of the Republic of China." It is impossible to easily deal with people, and now Zhang Yi is facing a dilemma in diplomacy, and even Germany is not supporting him, I think the biggest possibility is not that he wants to transfer aircraft technology, but to use it to beat Germany. Let the Germans re-fight the team; Secondly, even if the Republic of China is really sincere, then this is something that can be completed in one or two days, even if it is technology transfer, it will take at least more than a month, if it is a transfer of production lines. That will last much longer. At the same time, this is a trump card related to the world's strategic pattern, even if we sign relevant agreements with the Republic of China, other powerful countries will inevitably obstruct and exert tremendous pressure on our empire and the Republic of China. So, I thought we could put this on hold for now. Concentrate on resolving the negotiations of the Sino-Japanese war first. ”

The Minister of the Navy on the side, Fisher, said: "No, Mr. Schlau, we are now too far behind in aircraft technology, not only the Republic of China and Germany are developing faster than us, even France has left us behind, in the long run, we will be in a great passivity, you must know that now we do not have a weapon that can bring a huge threat to the aircraft, in the future war, how do we deal with the aircraft of the Republic of China or the German Empire?" We are determined to acquire these aircraft technologies, even if we offend France and Japan because of this, we must get our hands on them! ”

The rest of the people were also talking and putting forward their own opinions, and there was chaos in the conference hall.

Balfour rubbed his head and said, "Be quiet, be quiet!" ”

The hall suddenly fell silent, and Balfour replied: "What Schlau said is reasonable, it is obvious that the sincerity of the Republic of China is a little doubtful, you know, the minister to Britain has just met me secretly, and those who knew the news at that time only knew a few gentlemen in our imperial cabinet, how did this news get out?" Why did the news spread so quickly? Now that we are under pressure from all countries, the attention of the Sino-Japanese negotiations has been completely diverted. Therefore, I judge that Zhang Yi is completely thinking that we are shaking a false shot, in order to knock the Germans and let the Germans stand again, we can take risks, because we have the support of world hegemony, but does Germany dare to break with the Republic of China because of such a thing? ”

Fisher said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, it's just that this matter is not trivial, even if we only have the slightest chance, we should go all out!" Now half of the world's aircraft engineering talents are concentrated in the Republic of China, and the other half is in the hands of Germany, the United States, France and Britain, and our disadvantage in this is too great, in a short period of time, we will not be able to catch up with Germany at all, only with the help of the Republic of China, we can catch up as soon as possible! Time is not waiting for me! ”

Fisher is still insisting on his opinion, mainly because a few days ago, the battle in Tokyo Bay left too much shadow on Fisher, and the Japanese Combined Fleet, 20 warships, was beaten to the ground by 14 warships of the Chinese Navy Fleet, and almost all of the warships that were sunk or heavily damaged were completed by aircraft attacks!

In the future, if the fleet of the British Empire also encountered aircraft-carrying warships under such circumstances, it would definitely suffer heavy losses, and even the entire army could be wiped out!

Just when the two sides were engaged in a fierce dispute, a confidential secretary hurriedly walked in and shouted: "Mr. Prime Minister, gentlemen, the military attache of the Imperial Embassy in Germany has sent an urgent telegram, Kaiser Wilhelm II has urgently made an appointment with the Minister of the Republic of China, during the meeting, there was full communication on the Sino-Japanese war, and the Kaiser has promised the Republic of China to fully support the Republic of China in the future negotiations to fight back against Japanese aggression, and at the same time expressed great concern about the sale of aircraft technology by the Republic of China to the British Empire. I hope that the Republic of China will not affect the peace pattern of the world because of this! ”

When everyone heard this, they all lost their color, the Chinese tiger is so powerful, and Wilhelm II is so fast, I am afraid that the British Empire will be far away this time, and will be used as a gun!
