666: Conditions for not going to war

"Since the United States is a loyal ally of Britain, can I assume that Japan is also a loyal ally of the United States?" Wang Sirui's voice changed, and he suddenly asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

'Huh? Sa Daoyi only felt that the style of painting suddenly changed, as if it was not developing in the direction he wanted to see, and suddenly looked at Wang Sirui on the dragon chair with some surprise.

"Your Majesty, I don't quite understand what you mean?" How could Sa Daoyi not know what Wang Sirui meant? But knowing that at this time there are iron-clad facts in front of him, and he does not dare to admit it, what if he pushes the Chinese to the side of the Germans? At that time, there would be no need to fight this battle, and the Entente would have little hope of victory.

The current history has long been completely different from the history of history, in history, the Entente can be said to be able to achieve the final victory can be said to be multifaceted, including Russia that withdrew halfway, although Russia's performance in World War I can be described as disastrous, but at least one thing is undeniable, that is, Russia in the history of World War I, played the role of China in the war in World War II.

Now Russia is basically gone, and under the instigation of the Chinese Empire, Tsar Nicholas II is also entangled with the Bolshevik Party headed by Lenin, the two sides are even more back and forth, no one can have an absolute advantage, and after the defeat, Russia is already seriously damaged, whether the Tsar or Lenin has obtained the ultimate control of Russia, Russia is not capable of participating in the war again in the short term, or even in the long term.

Without the Russians as a pawn to contain the Germans, this was already a great disadvantage for the Entente.

In addition, because of the civil strife in Russia, coupled with the secret instigation of the Chinese, the Germans can also rest assured that they can boldly attack the Anglo-French forces on the Western Front, and Russia on the Eastern Front, the Germans have no plan to attack them in a short time, because it is completely unnecessary, the Russians do not pose any threat to Germany at all, but as long as Germany defeats Britain and France, they can kill Russia in a short time.

In addition to losing the chess piece of Russia, although the Americans have supported Britain as in history, what kind of urine the British are still unclear? If Germany is allowed to gain absolute superiority on the battlefield, do you think the Americans will still stand with the British?

To put it bluntly, this is a collision of interests, and the support of the Americans is not unconditional, and even the British can imagine that once Britain and France are defeated, then the United States will quickly take over the British colonies around the world.

But Sa Daoyi was too full of words before, and Wang Sirui deliberately dug a pit for Sa Daoyi, but as soon as he was not careful, Sa Daoyi honestly jumped in.

Now thinking about it, Sa Daoyi also instantly understood something, it must be that the Americans' military aid arrived in Japan, but Japan suddenly surrendered at this time, and this batch of military aid naturally fell into the hands of the Chinese, then, the Americans are behind the ghost, and the Chinese have no reason not to know.

"Well, I don't understand what I said. My general told me that they had received a shipment of equipment in Tokyo, and that the whole ship was equipped with enough equipment to arm ten divisions of Japanese troops, and he also told me that this was not the end of the story, and that there was more equipment to come. And this batch of equipment came from the United States. Wang Sirui looked at Sa Daoyi pointedly.

"Oh, it's unbelievable, may I ask Your Majesty, is this news really true?" Sa Daoyi exclaimed with a shocked face, it seemed that he had just learned the news, and turned to Wang Sirui for confirmation.

Looking at Sa Daoyi's performance, Wang Sirui nodded with satisfaction, but in Sa Daoyi's opinion, this nod was a formal reply to him.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Emperor, I must report this matter to China as soon as possible, as far as I know so far, the British side was not involved in this incident, and it may be that the Japanese have offered a price that the Americans cannot refuse...... Who knows, I'll have to find out about it, and the British Empire will give you a satisfactory answer anyway. Sa Daoyi was heartbroken.

"Well, there is still time, you can investigate slowly, don't worry." Wang Sirui responded lightly.

Sa Daoyi also wanted to mention the matter of inviting the Chinese Empire to join the Entente, but obviously, how could Wang Sirui not know the purpose of his trip? Before he opened his mouth, Wang Sirui first threw out such a question, making it clear that he didn't want to make a choice so quickly, or he was very dissatisfied with the Entente.

Although the United States did not belong to the Entente, in fact the United States was similar to the Entente, and the two were left with a contract.

After leaving the palace, Sadaoyi hurriedly contacted the British mainland and sent back the news that the Chinese had learned that the Americans had provided military aid to Japan, and Sadaoyi also bluntly said that if the British could not give the Chinese a satisfactory answer on this issue, then the Chinese would most likely make a decision that the British did not want to see.

After receiving this telegram, George V was even more angry and scolded, but there were three targets of this scolding, the cunning of the Chinese, the unreliability of the Japanese, and the so-called self-interest of the Americans.

If the resistance of the Japanese could be more tenacious, the Americans did not have so many things before, and the Chinese did not go so seriously, now he would not be so passive.

Although the Chinese did not express their position clearly, everyone knew very well at this time that in fact, the Chinese were more inclined to Germany, for no other reason, and Germany and China had more and deeper cooperation experiences. For example, China's industrial rise relied on the United States in the early stage, and all the great powers in the middle period, but in the later stage, it relied on Germany.

In return, the Chinese also brought a lot of new toys to the Germans, such as tanks, the Chinese's tanks have experienced the test of war, so the Germans do not have to adjust anything according to their own needs, they can be directly used for production and use.

In addition to tanks, George V seems to have learned an even more unacceptable piece of information, about the formation of the German armored forces, the Chinese also seem to be involved, that is, the German armored forces are completely trained in accordance with the combat concept of the Chinese armored forces.

And this is also confirmed on the battlefield, a new armored unit from scratch, just formed, the first time on the battlefield played a vital role, without the guidance of the people who came over, the Germans would never have been able to do this.

Therefore, from all sides, the Entente did not occupy any advantage, but it was precisely because the Chinese did not express their position that Britain never lost confidence, or lost hope.

And the worst outcome that the British can accept is that the Chinese remain neutral and no one supports it.

So, after a whole day of thinking, George V finally decided to sell the Americans for his own interests, because if it weren't for the Americans' procrastination in the early stage, it would not have led them to be so passive now, and the source of everything is still on the Americans, so it doesn't seem to be too much of a problem for the Americans to bear the blame.

On June 24, Sa Daoyi visited Wang Sirui again, but this time Wang Sirui did not summon Sa Daoyi, but Wang Shizhen sent a note to Sa Daoyi instead of Wang Sirui, and Sa Daoyi also conveyed Britain's reply to Wang Shizhen.

And this reply is that the British did not know in advance, the Japanese privately found the Americans, and exchanged all the islands and reefs outside the Japanese mainland, as well as the price that the US military could set up bases in the Japanese mainland, in exchange for the Americans' military aid support, and the Americans finally agreed to the Japanese request, and the British side will do its best to send a note to the United States, as much as possible to persuade the United States to give up the benefits obtained from the Japanese government, and transfer all the relevant interests of Japan to the Chinese Empire.

In addition, if China joins the Entente bloc, then as allies, Britain and France will completely abandon their interests in East Asia with regard to China, that is, as long as China joins the Entente, then Britain and France will unconditionally withdraw from Hong Kong and Vietnam, and return these two areas that were originally under the direct jurisdiction and suzerainty of China to China.

And guarantee that Macau will also be returned to China at the same time, as for the depression of the Portuguese government, this is another matter, anyway, at this time Britain and France will not listen to the voice of the Portuguese government.

Britain and France were sincere, and now they could fully regain the territories and suzerains they had lost during the Qing Dynasty as long as the Chinese Empire agreed to join the Entente.

Of course, there was not only one dependent country in the former Qing Dynasty, but there were many subordinate relations in the entire Southeast Asian region, but Britain and France did not hand over all of them, because that would make Britain and France completely lose control of the entire East Asian region, and if the Chinese bargained, they would also lose their bargaining chips in their hands.

On June 27, Wang Shizhen conveyed to Sa Daoyi the opinion of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, and this opinion can be said to have reached the bottom line of the facts acceptable to the British, but the price was far from acceptable to them.

The reply given by the Chinese turned out to be that the Chinese Empire could remain neutral and not intervene in the European war, and in return, the Entente needed to fully withdraw from the Asian region, and as an incident, the Chinese Empire would provide all the technical parameters of the Boar tank to the Entente free of charge.
