The United States is in a border crisis, Britain and France are in the process of post-war reconstruction, and neither of them is capable of an arms race, if the Chinese representatives agree, it is obvious what they will face, and if the ancestral graves are not dug up, the Chinese people have self-cultivation.

Therefore, this issue is a dead knot, and it is impossible for the Chinese delegates to agree to it, and they are still very angry about it.

Gu Weijun and others finally realized the benefits of natural allies, because the French did not care about the navy and would not join forces with Britain and the United States to put pressure on China, because the French had completely lost interest in the sea, and they were focused on maintaining their unstable hegemony on the European continent.

Gu Weijun feels that they are stuck in a dead knot, if they don't agree, it means that the US-UK relationship will enter and they will start to jointly target China.

"Aren't all countries studying aircraft carriers, and now the technology of aircraft carriers is not mature, and they don't attach much importance to it. We can keep 10 35,000-ton giant ships, and those 20 super dreadnoughts can be transformed into aircraft carriers, and if Britain and the United States agree, we will sign a contract, and if they don't, we will have an arms race. ”

However, Britain and the United States proposed: "No State shall build, acquire, or build for the benefit of other signatories to this treaty aircraft carriers of more than 27,000 tons." And the tonnage of the aircraft carrier must not exceed the total size of 130,000 tons. ”

Wang Zhengting said.

Yang Chao snorted: "So this is the privilege we are asking for, if we don't agree, we will have an arms race, and you won't be tough when you should be tough." ”

Gu Weijun's face darkened, feeling that this was obviously talking about him.

"It is impossible for us to confront Britain and the United States together, and Britain and the United States said that if China refuses to accept it, Britain and the United States will sign a separate treaty on the naval issue, and the two countries will guarantee that if China builds one warship, they will build three, and guarantee it with the common resources of the two countries."

Yang Chao said to Gu Weijun: "So you're afraid?" ”

He continued: "You tell Britain and the United States that if they unite, then Korea and the Ryukyus in Asia will form their large naval fleets. What they want to contend with is not just one China, but the power of East Asia as a whole. ”

In fact, after the treaty is signed, it is still possible to secretly increase China's naval power by arming Korea, especially the Ryukyus, but this kind of trick, Britain and the United States are not fools and will definitely confront, and if they sign the treaty, they will honestly abide by it, and it will be good to everyone.

Yang Chao pulled out Korea and the Ryukyus, but to put pressure on Britain and the United States, and he would receive unexpected gains.

This harvest is that Britain and the United States at the same time require that the major powers are not allowed to sell and build capital ships to other countries, which means that unless they build their own, it is impossible for North Korea to have a large navy, Jin Jiu is actually ambitious, he has begun to form the North Korean Navy, and placed an order for 10 warships to China, but most of them are cruisers, and they can't afford the capital ships, but once they can't afford it, who dares to guarantee that the North Koreans, who are the first power in the universe, will not purchase capital ships.

Britain and the United States put forward their demands, and after China agreed, it would be tantamount to cutting off the way for other Asian countries to have a large fleet, and they only need to obey China's hegemony.

After intense discussions, the three countries finally reached an agreement, the tonnage of the capital ships of the three countries did not exceed 60 tons, Britain and the United States promised to limit the total tonnage of their aircraft carriers to 150,000 tons, and China had the power to convert existing warships into aircraft carriers, but not to build new aircraft carriers.

This means that China will have 300,000 tons, twice the tonnage of British and American aircraft carriers, and the number is 10.

With the agreement reached by China, Britain and the United States, the Washington Naval Treaty was finally drafted.

It stipulates that the tonnage of the capital ships of China, Britain and the United States shall not exceed 600,000 tons, and according to this standard, the navies of France and Italy shall not exceed one-third, that is, 200,000 tons.

The standard for capital ships is that it cannot exceed 35,000 tons, and the largest warship in the United States was only 32,000 tons, and it was a New Mexico-class battleship built in the middle of the war, with a standard tonnage of more than 32,000 tons, while the British battleships were basically pre-war technology, and the largest was the Elizabeth class but 28,000 tons, and the gap was still very large.

The main gun limit for the capital ship is 16 inches, 406mm, but the gun muzzle of China's new ship is only 380, the United Kingdom is roughly the same, and the United States is only 350, so the three countries still have room for improvement, in short, the Americans have taken advantage, the artillery caliber is limited, it is the processing level of each country, you must know that before the war, the British artillery only began to move to 380, when the Elizabeth was built, the 380 main gun was still under development, and the test was still 340 guns. And the United States was able to build 350 guns in the war, just because the accumulation was not enough.

But now it doesn't matter, and all countries have stronger capabilities and can make more powerful cannons, so a restriction on the muzzle is also for fear of continuing the arms race in this regard.

As for France and Italy, which have degenerated into second-rate roles, they have no choice, that is, 200,000-ton capital ships, which neither country may be able to maintain.

The specific content of the treaty was transmitted back to China, and after the major newspapers reported it, the whole country immediately burst into cheers, and everyone was still worried about it, because every time a treaty was signed in the past, China always suffered a loss, and they were really worried that they were signing a treaty that would lose their power and humiliate the country. And all the equal treaties or favorable articles were also negotiated by Yang Chao himself before, but this time Yang Chao said that he would not intervene, and everyone was worried.

Now, the major newspapers have come to the conclusion through analysis that according to this treaty, the total tonnage of China's capital ships is comparable to that of Britain and the United States, and the aircraft carrier will be twice as large as that of Britain and the United States, which means that the Chinese Navy will become the most powerful navy in the world.

Of course, under normal circumstances, there are still criticisms, for example, some people believe that China's navy should be as many as Britain and the United States combined, because there are more Chinese than Britain and the United States combined, but not many people listen to this voice.

With the strength of the country, more and more people believe in the demagogy of the bad media, and no one buys or reads those newspapers.

"It's time to go back!"

The treaty was also signed, and the matter was done, Yang Chao felt that he should go back.

But before leaving, he still had one last few people to meet.

"Make arrangements to meet Morgan as soon as possible."

Yang Chao said to the secretary. (To be continued.) )
