King Alfonso XIII of Spain was well aware of the contradictions between the Entente and the Central Powers, and some of the conditions given by Britain and France, except for some loans, were mostly illusory promises, that is, after the outbreak of war between the Entente and the Central Powers, they could obtain the fruits of victory in order to share the spoils with Spain.

That would definitely not be worth the loss for Spain, which was currently neutral, and after joining the Entente, who knew if the Entente would break out into war with the Chinese Empire? Alfonso XIII for Lin Daxin, and the Chinese Empire he established, but has always had scruples, when the threat of the United States, Alfonso XIII sold the Philippines to Lin Daxin, did not expect Lin Daxin's Northeast Navy to be so fierce, the Navy sent by the United States, and the Italian Navy that disturbed the situation were destroyed, and then Lin Daxin's power was out of control, after several wars all were victorious, and even the Eight-Nation Alliance was victorious, Alfonso XIII did not want to be an enemy of the Chinese Empire, which is currently the most powerful empire in the world.

Although Alfonso XIII himself had some petty ambitions, it did not mean that he wanted to put Spain in a dangerous situation, so King Alfonso XIII of Spain did not agree to join the Entente.

It is a pity that the United States and Spain are unwilling to join the Entente under the current circumstances, so the British and French can only focus on the Japanese, but even the Ottoman Turkish Empire joined the Central Powers, and it did not make a fundamental change in the balance of strength between the Entente and the Central Powers, and the overall strength of the three Entente countries is still stronger than the four countries of the Central Powers. This made Britain and France not care about anything in order to increase the power of the Entente, and still demanded that Japan abandon its risky move of provoking war with the Chinese Empire.

On July 8, 1908, Japanese Prime Minister Saionji and Japanese Foreign Minister Tomoto Yoshimoto came to the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan. The purpose of seeking to see Emperor Meiji was to promote Japan's accession to the Entente.

As soon as Prime Minister Saionji saw Emperor Meiji, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the negotiations with Britain and France are not going well, and Britain and France are resolutely demanding that the Chinese Empire be removed from the list of enemies to be jointly guarded against. Jointly deal with the Chinese Empire. ”

Emperor Meiji frowned and asked, "What is the attitude of the Russians in the Entente?" ”

Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Yubayashi immediately said: "Your Majesty, Russia has agreed to our membership in the Entente, and there are no additional requirements. Even the Russians privately approached Japan, hoping that Russia would be in line with our Great Japanese Empire on the issue of dealing with the Chinese Empire, but Russia was in the Entente. The influence on Britain and France is too small. Britain and France still suppressed Russia and prevented Russia from provoking the Chinese Empire, so if the Japanese Empire wanted to join the Entente as it wished, it still had to convince the British and French. ”

Emperor Meiji sighed and said: "Our Great Japanese Empire joined the Entente in order to start a war with the Chinese Empire in the future, so that the three Western powers, Britain, France and Russia, can fight side by side with our Great Japanese Empire, if the Chinese Empire is eliminated from the enemies that the Entente jointly guarded against." Then it would be meaningless for our Empire of Japan to join the Entente! ”

Prime Minister Saionji nodded and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has a point, Britain and France are only willing to forgive some of the loans of our Great Japanese Empire. We did not want to be dragged into the war with the Chinese Empire by our Empire of Japan, which was contrary to the original intention of our Empire of Japan to join the Entente, and the minister also believed that if the conditions of Britain and France remained unchanged, our Empire of Japan should give up the idea of joining the Entente. ”

Emperor Meiji said depressedly: "Without the three countries of Britain, France and Russia, relying only on our Great Japanese Empire itself, we are powerless to take revenge, recapture the lost Hokkaido, South Korea, and the Ryukyu Islands, and the strength of the Chinese Empire's navy, land and air force can almost rank first in the world, is it so difficult for our Great Japanese Empire to rise?" ”

Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang was silent for a moment and said: "At present, there are three main forces in the world, the Chinese Empire, the Entente, and the Allied Powers, and the three are hostile to each other and mutually restrain each other. ”

Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Tomobayashi continued: "If it were not for the threat of the Allied Powers, the Entente Britain, France and Russia would be fully powerful, and it would be possible to avenge the land reparations paid a few years ago, after all, the two countries in the Entente countries, Britain and France, also suffered very large losses in the last war, but after the containment of the Entente, Britain and France did not dare to provoke the Chinese Empire." Our ambassador to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Britain promised that the Empire of Japan would not take the initiative to provoke a war with the Chinese Empire, and only hoped that after joining the Entente, when the Chinese Empire took the initiative to invade the Empire of Japan, the Entente would be able to safeguard the interests of its allies. ”

Britain and France are not stupid, they also understand what kind of character the Japanese have, although Japan promised not to take the initiative to provoke a war, but the Japanese can definitely create an incident in which the Chinese Empire took the initiative to provoke a war, and when the time comes, they will drag Britain and France into the water.

Emperor Meiji said categorically: "If Britain and France still have such a demand, then our Japanese Empire will definitely not join the Entente, and there is more of an enemy of the Allies!" It seems that we, the Empire of Japan, can only continue to wait for the opportunity, believing that one day, Amaterasu will bless us Japan with revenge. ”

Prime Minister Saionji Kotobu and Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Yubayashi both nodded, very much in agreement with Emperor Meiji's decision, you British and French are not stupid, we Japanese are not stupid, Prime Minister Saionji Kotobu said: "The Allies have now become 4 countries, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire has joined the camp of the Allied Powers, which has brought in a lot of military strength between the Allies and the Entente, and if we cannot get our wish, the Japanese Empire will not be able to get what we want." Relying on the strength of the Entente to deal with the Chinese Empire, then there was no need to fight with the allies. ”

Britain and France were also helpless against Japan, which could not enter the oil and salt, after the Ottoman Turkish Empire joined the Central Powers. Although the power of the Entente was still stronger than that of the Allies, it also brought a lot of pressure to Britain and France, which made them enthusiastic about Japan's accession to the Entente.

The loans given to Japan by Britain and France in recent years to recover from the last war were also a strategy made by Britain and France in order for Japan to contain the Chinese Empire in Asia.

Britain and France 2 countries for Lin Daxin. For the Chinese Empire, there was no good impression at all, and it was full of hatred. It's just that now is not the time to turn the other cheek with the Chinese Empire, giving loans to Japan and arming Japan is also burying a hidden danger around the Chinese Empire, but now this hidden danger wants to explode. It is also necessary to pull the people who have buried hidden dangers into the water together. Britain and France were unwilling, but Britain and France, considering the role of hidden dangers, did not force Japan too much, threatening things like loans, so that Japan must join the Entente according to their wishes.

As a result, Japan's accession to the Entente was basically in vain.

After Emperor Meiji discussed the matter of the Entente with Prime Minister Saionji and Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Tomoto, Emperor Meiji said to Prime Minister Saionji Kobo: "A few years ago, our intelligence system of the Japanese Empire in China. It was very badly damaged, and the intelligence services of the empire invested a very large amount of force into the country of the Chinese empire over the years. However, at present, we have achieved little results, and now it is impossible for our Great Japanese Empire to start a war against the Chinese Empire in a short period of time, but the intelligence work must be strengthened, and effective intelligence personnel must be sent to the Chinese Empire to collect all kinds of intelligence and prepare for future wars. ”

Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang said: "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister will definitely pay more attention to the work of the intelligence department in the future. ”

Emperor Meiji sighed again and said, "The strength of the Chinese Empire is too strong at the moment, and it seems that our Great Japanese Empire will have to wait a long time to regain the lost territory." ”

In the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City in Beijing, Lin Daxin smiled and listened to Li Kun, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, after talking about Japan's application to join the Entente and the Ottoman Turkish Empire's entry into the Allied Powers, Lin Daxin touched his smooth chin and said with a smile: "The British and the French are not stupid, and the Japanese are not fools. ”

Lin Daxin was originally going to grow a beard in order to appear more mature, but as soon as he grew a little, he was shaved off, as for the person who dared to shave the beard of the emperor of the Chinese Empire, it was not from this time and space at all, but Lin Daxin's woman Song Keer in the future time and space.

Li Kun smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese want to pull the Entente into the water is too obvious, maybe except for Russia, no one is willing to do such a big wrong." ”

Lin Daxin said without mind: "Regardless of whether the British and the French are willing to do the wrongs, as long as the strength of our Chinese Empire is strong, even if the Entente and Japan, and even the Allies and the United States are involved like the last war, and declare war on our Chinese Empire together, we can still fight the same process as the last war, and fight those countries with ill intentions."

Li Kun nodded approvingly, although in recent years, those countries that were hostile to the Chinese Empire have developed rapidly in military strength, but under the leadership of Lin Daxin, the Chinese Empire is changing with each passing day, and its military strength has increased by several levels compared with 1902, that is, there is another attack similar to the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the Chinese Empire is also confident that it will defeat the invading enemy.

Lin Daxin continued: "Your military intelligence bureau must especially strengthen the forces around the Huludao Naval Base, there is the most powerful killer weapon of our Chinese Empire, if there are really a few countries such as the bullshit alliance that do not have long eyes, and our Chinese Empire breaks out again, the hidden warships of the Huludao Naval Base will be the key to our Chinese Empire's victory in the war." ”

As Lin Daxin, who can travel back and forth between 2 time and space, although the Chinese Empire he has established is extremely powerful, if Lin Daxin is not ready to make a killer move, he will be sorry for his ability.

The killer feature prepared by Lin Daxin this time is the 4 warships secretly built by the Huludao Shipyard, and the difference between these 4 warships and other warships is that the main purpose of these 4 warships is to carry aircraft. That's right! Lin Daxin's killer feature is aircraft carriers!

A few years ago, Lin Daxin set up an aviation design institute, and asked Feng Ru, the president of the design institute, to lead the aircraft designers of the design institute to design an aircraft that can take off on a 250-meter short track, and this short track is in the sea, and Lin Daxin's request is to design carrier-based aircraft for aircraft carriers.

After many experiments, Feng Ru and other aircraft designers finally designed a fighter that could take off from an aircraft carrier, and a bomber that could take off from an aircraft carrier.

The Seagull fighter used by the aircraft carrier directly adopts a single wing, with a wingspan of 10.5 meters, a length of 8.3 meters, a height of 3.6 meters, two 600-horsepower engines, a maximum flight speed of 430 kilometers per hour, an ascent limit of 7,500 meters, a maximum range of 1,300 kilometers, and is equipped with 1 machine gun with a caliber of 14.5 mm and two machine guns with a caliber of 7.9 mm, which can suspend 2 bombs of 100 kg.

The Sea Hawk bomber is also a single wing, with a wingspan of 17 meters, a length of 13 meters, a height of 4.4 meters, two 1100 horsepower engines, a maximum flight speed of 320 kilometers per hour, an ascent limit of 9000 meters, a maximum range of 2300 kilometers, and is equipped with 2 machine guns with a caliber of 14.5 mm and 4 heavy machine guns of Type 96 with a caliber of 7.9 mm, and can be loaded with up to 4 tons of aerial bombs.

The mythical class aircraft carrier, a total of 4 ships were secretly built, namely Pangu, Nuwa, Fuxi and Shennong, with a standard displacement of 34,500 tons, a full load displacement of 37,000 tons, a length of 260.5 meters, a width of 44.6 meters, a maximum draft of 7.6 meters, and a design maximum speed of 24 knots.

The armor of the mythical aircraft carrier is relatively thin, only 50 mm to 100 mm, anyway, the battle of the aircraft carrier is not bombarded with artillery, and the attack method of the aircraft carrier is to rely on the carrier-based aircraft above. (To be continued......)
