Chapter 774: Joint Dispatch of Troops (2)
"Well, Duke Bit, what you said makes sense, it's just that our troops in Asia are not so strong, unless we move our troops to ...... the country."
Duke Bit said proudly: "That's natural, this time, the British Empire will directly send 30,000 troops from the mainland to China, and at the same time send five capital warships to help in the war, what ......about you?"
When Gramon and Ramon heard this, their faces darkened, and they wiped it, dispatching 30,000 troops plus five main warships, this England is really a big deal, according to the 50,000 army he just said, this England is going to swallow half of the reparations in one go, what you think is really beautiful!
Gramont doesn't have anything, anyway, Britain can come up with 20,000 troops, and can't it just take out 30,000 troops themselves? As for the main battleship, it is definitely not possible to dispatch five ships, and he definitely does not have the strength of the British Imperial Navy!
But Ramon can't do it, Spain is no longer the sea hegemon of the year, its strength has declined greatly, it is impossible to come up with such a powerful force in one go, this is to fight, it must be an elite force, and sending a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people will definitely laugh off their big teeth.

"Duke Pit, good, good! Then we in France will also send an army of 30,000 troops, and as for the navy, our French Empire can't compete with you in England, so I'll send three capital warships......"
A family of 30,000 troops, combined, this is 60,000 troops! Coupled with the eight main warships of the two countries, plus some auxiliary ships, the strength is enough to conquer a powerful country!
Ramon's heart trembled for a while, this is obviously a bully, but what can he do? Who said that Spain's strength is not as good as before, take out 30,000 army and three or five main warships in one go, Spain is not so strong!
"Okay......"
Ramon said helplessly: "Our Kingdom of Spain is willing to transfer 20,000 land forces, plus two capital warships......
20,000 troops, such a force is already a lot for Spain, and the entire Philippines is now stationed with only 25,000 troops, if you want to participate in this war, you must transfer troops from the country, a huge Luzon Islands, the number of troops that need to sit in the town must not be less!
Even so, the army forces drawn by the three countries have reached 80,000 people, plus ten main cruisers, the strength is too strong, and no country in the whole of Asia can have such a strong strength!
"Ten capital cruisers, plus 80,000 elite troops, we need to appoint a commander to unify our military operations!"
Duke Bit said in a deep voice.
"Not only to unify the command of military operations, but also to agree with the opinion of the legation, we will never allow the United States to leave Britain, France and Russia alone last time, we must advance and retreat together, and not give Guo Ye a chance to break through!"
Grammon said hatefully.
Although Britain and France did not suffer any losses this time, the big advantage was taken advantage of by the United States, and Tsarist Russia was the most unlucky, and did not reap the benefits, but was ruthlessly put on a show by Guo Ye!
This time, if the three countries are still fighting separately like last time, they will definitely be exploited by that Guo Ye, and if they don't do it well, they will steal chickens and rice.
"Okay, then that's it, each of our three countries will send a plenipotentiary minister, plus the Japanese, a total of four ministers, to draw up the terms in advance, determine our minimum bottom line, and advance and retreat together! I propose that Admiral Dundas of the British Empire be the commander-in-chief of this war, and at the same time send an army commander to be in charge of the army's operations. ”
Gramont smiled slightly, and took the olive branch of Duke Bit, the commander-in-chief must have the British to do it, after all, they dispatched ordinary naval warships, but on land, it is natural to have to be dominated by the French, and Spain can only be regarded as a follower.
"Well, I will ask His Majesty Napoleon III to appoint Lieutenant General Bazin, Chief of Staff of the Second Army of the Metz Corps, as the commander-in-chief of the army this time, in charge of the army operations, and I also ask the generals of your two countries to give their full support......"
Duke Bit nodded, Bazin is indeed a famous general in the French army, with him in charge, it is naturally the best, Duke Ramon will naturally not object, anyway, the commander-in-chief can't fall on his head, whoever will do it, as long as he doesn't play tricks on the battlefield and use the Spanish army as cannon fodder......
"Okay, the plan to send troops has been decided, and it's time for us to share the benefits, the army is three to three to two, and the navy is five to three to two, how to divide this reparation?"
Grammon asked.
"After all, this navy is different from the army, the navy is mainly for deterrence, and the real war still depends on the army, and I propose to divide the profit ratio according to the army!"
Ramon said hurriedly.
According to the proportion of troops sent by the army, Spain occupies the most benefits, which can be divided into a quarter, although it is still less than a third, but Spain should also be content, who makes him the weakest?
Duke Bit rolled his eyelids and snorted coldly: "Duke Ramon, your abacus is very exciting, but unfortunately, it is impossible, whether it is the navy or the army, the role played in the war is equal, and even the role of the navy is even stronger, we may not need to use the army, just with the navy's iron ship and giant artillery to constantly bombard Chinese ports, you can be China's submission, even if you want to divide it, it must be divided according to the proportion of the navy's troops!" ”
These Ramon and Gramont are gone, according to the proportion of naval troops? Then Britain will take at least half of the benefits, how is it possible!
"Absolutely impossible, Duke Pit, you want England to take more than half of the indemnity? It's a dream! We will not say yes! ”
Granmon roared.
The three of them were caught in a fierce argument over the bargain, and after a whole day of quarrelling, the whole ratio was determined, that the British Empire, because of the strongest military force at its disposal, should occupy the lion's share, one country should take 40 percent of the reparations, followed by France, 38 percent of the reparations, and the remaining 22 percent of the benefits!
The three giants finally stopped arguing and sat down again.
"That's not enough, we have to warn the United States and keep them away from this strife, otherwise, we will never mind and teach the United States a serious lesson!"
