The large, bright conference room was filled with negotiators from all over the world, some of whom were drinking water, others sorting out the documents in front of them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Sun Fang, the secretary of the Ming Empire, sat in his place, sorting out his documents with a relaxed expression, he had performed quite well in the previous battles that belonged to him.

Just now, everyone was still arguing about whether the Ming Empire should withdraw all troops from the southeast peninsula, and just a few minutes ago the meeting was adjourned to sort out the documents.

After a few days of arguing, the Ming Empire determined the ownership of the Korean Peninsula, while Ceylon took back a lot of territory on the southeastern peninsula, including Da Nang.

After a simple exchange, the two sides finally reached a temporary compromise. The Ming Empire returned part of the territory to Ceylon, and Jiro Yamaguchi, the representative of the Japanese side, really felt what it means to be in the hot and cold world.

The so-called Japanese Empire was completely betrayed in this negotiation. Despite Yamaguchi's protests, the Ming Empire retreated to the vicinity of Pyongyang and returned half of the Korean Peninsula to Japan as compensation for peace.

But this "reasonable" request was not only not recognized by the Ming Empire, but also not supported by the British Empire. British envoy Brown eventually told Jiro Yamaguchi that the British Empire's fleet would not continue north if the war continued.

This is undoubtedly fatal bad news for Japan - if the British fleet no longer goes north, then who will destroy the North Sea Division fleet of the Ming Empire?

The fleet of the North Sea Division in Zhang Rude's hands may now be the most threatening force to Japan in the hands of the Ming Empire. But Japan's calculation of destroying this force by Britain failed!

If Japan's home fleet enters the Yellow Sea to provoke Zhang Rude's naval fleet, the ultimate possibility is that both sides will lose - the Ming Empire will soon be able to restore its previous sea power with blood transfusions from the newly occupied Korea and the Southeast Peninsula, but how can Japan have the resources to build another fleet of the same size?

Yamaguchi's pleading, but in the end did not impress the British envoy Brown, and Japan was forced to abandon all claims to the Korean Peninsula in exchange for an illusory promise from the Ming Empire.

This promise is probably like this: if the Japanese fleet maintains its current size and does not increase, then the North Sea Division fleet of the Ming Empire will also maintain its current size and no longer increase the main warships!

The implication is that on the one hand, the Ming Empire only promised not to increase the number of main warships of the Beihai Division fleet, but did not promise not to increase the number of main warships of other fleets.

On the other hand, this is only a binding commitment of the main battleship, and does not include the number of second-class warships such as cruisers......

It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty has the ability to continue this damn arms race, but Japan doesn't have much energy to maintain a slight advantage over the Ming Empire's North Sea Division fleet.

It seems that only the new weapons submarines of the Japanese Navy can maintain this slight advantage. At least this weapon, at the moment, it seems to be much more reliable than the Shenlong fighter.

"The Ming Empire must abandon the battleships under construction, especially the new ones! This weapon is offensive in nature, and its presence will disrupt regional security! British envoy Brown leaned back in his chair and coldly opened the curtain on a new round of quarrels.

Rather than recovering the land lost in the war for Japan, the British side was more interested, or the real main direction of attack, was actually here.

The ultimate goal of Britain is to suppress the navy of the Ming Empire, do everything possible to control the Ming Empire in the offshore area, and make the Ming Empire change from a three-ocean empire to a single-ocean country.

In other words, Britain used the Korean Peninsula to trick the Ming Empire into making a restriction promise to Japan, and at this time, the British Empire was trying to use this restriction to completely seal the Ming Empire's navy in the coastal area.

On the other hand, while restricting the navy of the Ming Empire, it can be regarded as giving Japan an explanation and avoiding the bad result of his younger brother being crushed by the Ming Empire.

"In this naval battle, our country lost a total of sixteen battleships...... With such a huge loss, do you think our country can not fill such a huge gap? After Sun Fang heard the other party's request, he knew that the other party's counterattack was coming.

When the Ming Empire wanted the Korean Peninsula before, the British side simply gave it and let the Ming Empire win first. Now the British side is poised to attack, and it is the turn of the Ming Empire to cut the meat.

The other party drew a knife and slashed directly at the South China Sea Naval Fleet of the Ming Empire, which had already existed in name only, and this knife came too suddenly, making Sun Fang a little difficult to parry.

After all, on the issue of the Korean Peninsula, Britain gave an explanation to the Ming Empire, so Sun Fang now has to carefully consider whether he can bear this knife or not.

It is not uncommon for people to eat the benefits of others first but not know how to back down, and eventually lead to repeated negotiation results. This made Sun Fang a little entangled, so he could only use the excuse of drinking water and keep thinking in his heart.

He Yuxi, who was on the side, leaned towards Sun Fang, who was drinking tea to hide his hesitation, and said, "This British man is very calculating...... Direct ......"

"......" glanced at He Yuxi, making him close his mouth in interest, and Sun Fang also finished his thinking. It's not that the treaty can't be signed, it's just a big deal that it's torn up and so on.

He was thinking about how to say yes and what the final outcome would be. Now that he has a plan, he naturally regained his poker face: "What about this matter, we can't agree to it......"

After a long note, Sun Fang looked at the British envoy Brown, who was unhappy, and continued to explain: "But I can talk about this matter...... The specific result will be discussed. ”

Hearing that there was a drama in this matter, British envoy Brown did not have the mind to turn his face and deny the results of the previous negotiations now. He glanced at Sun Fang and just asked, "How to talk about it." ”

"It's obviously impossible for a new ship not to be built, but we can talk about quantity, tonnage, and so on, and what kind of result will be negotiated, that is, the trade-off between the two sides."

Brown is not stupid, he knows that on the one hand, this is a delaying tactic of the Ming Empire, and on the other hand, it is equivalent to forcing him to admit it, and the warships built by the Ming Empire now must be agreed by the British.

But you must know that the last thing the British side wants the Ming Empire to build is a new type of battleship, which can threaten the capital ship of the British Navy. Brown really hopes that not a single new warship like this will appear......
