542 is not missing
It's like talking about cross talk, which needs to be teased and teased, and what the German envoy does at this time is like a funny role. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sun Fang glanced at the German envoy, then snorted coldly, and then continued to bargain with the other party about the naval warships of the Ming Empire.
In fact, both sides had places where they needed to be afraid of the Ming Empire's shore-based aircraft, and the Ming Empire was afraid of the British and Ceylon landing operations.
You must know that the Ming Imperial Navy no longer has a fleet capable of participating in the counterattack, and the remaining warships either have to defend Gyeonggi or cannot concentrate on fighting.
Although with the gradual transfer of dive bombers from the Ming Empire back to the mainland, and the new Lei Gong 1 dive bombers in service, the southern seas were no longer too afraid of British battleship attacks.
But if the other party shifts the focus of attack from threatening the important cities along the coast of the Ming Empire to attacking the islands controlled by the Ming Empire, the result is not what the Ming Empire wants to see.
Therefore, after weighing it repeatedly, the high-level leaders of the Ming Empire also believed that it was a wiser choice to negotiate a treaty with the other party at this moment to achieve permanent peace.
Sun Fang certainly has pressure behind him, and British envoy Brown also has a lot of constraints behind him. On the one hand, there were contradictions within the alliance that suppressed the Ming Empire, and on the other hand, Britain itself lost too much in this war.
Just counting the battleships, two of the British Navy were sunk and two were seriously damaged. Two battleships, the Giant and the St. Vincent, were wounded, and the battleships Reckless and Collingwood sank.
Although this loss did not shake the British Empire's supremacy over the seven seas, it was still painful. Britain hopes that a diplomatic victory will prevent similar problems from occurring in the future.
Britain is also summing up lessons and lessons, and in this war, they have seen the shattering of the World Anti-Ming Alliance, and also seen the difficulty of suppressing the Ming Empire under the old system.
The Ming Empire's conquest of the world failed, although it appears to have suffered heavy losses and retreated to Asia. But its volume is still huge, and its heritage is still deep.
The strategic retreat also allowed the Ming Empire to gain a rare strategic space, and the powerful navy of the British Empire could only face the dilemma faced by the Ming Empire's navy.
Being too far away from home has weakened the global deployment of the Navy. The Ming Empire fought at home, and the pressure on the British Navy can be imagined.
If there was another naval battle near the Far East, Britain would not be able to guarantee that its naval technology and tactics would still be able to overwhelm the Ming Empire - this was what the British were really worried about.
Expedition to Southeast Asia, this time the victory relied entirely on Britain's enormous superiority in the internal combustion engine. And over time, it is clear that this advantage has gradually caught up.
The launch of the battleship Chuhe, on the surface, is only the first step in the reconstruction of the navy of the Ming Empire, which can be understood in depth, this is the concentrated performance of the Ming Empire's leap forward in the latest battleship technology.
If Britain acquiesced to the Ming Empire's construction of this new type of battleship without any restrictions, then ten years later, the quality of the Ming Empire's battleships would be almost the same as Britain's!
However, the British Navy, which had already seen the tactics of the Ming Empire's Chu and other admirals, had already felt the strength of the Ming Empire's navy -- this was the world's second navy, and of course it was not in vain.
It is definitely not a good thing to allow such a navy to regain its strength. Ten years later, British warships will no longer have the advantage of speed, and the advantage of armor and artillery will be gone......
Imagine, if Chu He commanded 14 warships that were the same as the British Liverpool-class battleships, what kind of terrible results could he achieve?
At that time, the state of the Ming Imperial Navy that cannot run away and cannot be defeated will be ended, and the future Ming Imperial Navy, backed by the mainland, will be able to compete with the British Navy from afar!
It makes people shudder when they think about it, and after glancing at Sun Fang, who still did not back down on the issue of battleships, Brown finally became a little impatient: "Mr. Shangshu...... I hope you understand that you are not the victors in this war! ”
"The war is not over yet! If you think your country has won, you can wait! Sun Fang didn't know if the other party was bluffing or if he really had the confidence to fight again, so he also threatened him.
He Yuxi was still bargaining with the envoys of the Ottoman Empire on the issue of India's independence, and the whole venue immediately became a mess again.
So, at this time, there will be another savior...... Well, it's a hilarious debut. The Austro-Hungarian envoy saw the look in the eyes of the German envoy and quickly spoke to persuade him.
As a result, the scene of spitting subsided little by little, although they both claimed to use artillery to show the other party their strength, but no one on either side of the scolding war got up and left the venue.
Maybe it was because he could see that everyone was actually strong outside, but in the end, Brown still opened his mouth and pushed the meeting one step further: "1 new battleship, this is my bottom line!" ”
Stretching out a finger, Brown gave his own conditions: "Since the battleship Chu He has been launched, then this is the end!" ”
Hearing this concession, Sun Fang waved his hand and also took a step back: "The number of new battleships, our requirements are between 10 and 12...... But since Mr. Envoy has taken a step back, let's also take a step back, 9 ships! Couldn't be less! ”
"The battleship Chu He doesn't count, at most one more place will be given!" As if selectively forgetting the bottom line he had just said, Brown took another step back.
Of course, Sun Fang knew that the sister ship Guo Lihai, the sister ship of the Chuhe-class battleship, was also about to be launched, so naturally he could not agree to such a request.
So he also selectively forgot the so-called words that could not be less, and bargained: "8 ships!" That's our bottom line! ”
As a result, the two men debated about the number of warships for an afternoon, and finally reached a preliminary agreement.
If the British Empire built no more than 20 new battleships, then the total number of new battleships of the Ming Empire will not exceed 5.
When the two sides bargained from the beginning, it seemed that this number had been given, Sun Fangduo won a battleship, and the British Empire also suppressed the number of navies of the Ming Empire within the range it could bear.
Of course, this treaty is not a complete treaty, because it will be signed by almost all the powerful countries in the world that can come to the table.
Ming, United Kingdom, United States, Ceylon, Germany...... No one is missing.
