"The construction of the 'Yamato-class' battleships of the Great Japanese Empire has already begun. In any case, the Empire of Japan would not abandon the 'Yamato-class' battleships and the 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers. Japanese Prime Minister Masatakeshi Terauchi immediately made a statement. The Japanese, however, regarded the Yamato-class battleships and the Amagi-class battlecruisers as key forces in Japan's rise. If we give up, won't Japan be able to turn around?

"The Chinese representative, now I am asking about China's attitude, and I ask the Chinese side not to get involved with the Japanese side." This was stated by US Secretary of State Hughes.

"Humph!" Imperial Prime Minister Yang Du snorted coldly, he knew that the Americans were determined to target the empire.

"Then, the attitude of the empire is not to agree with this plan!" Yang Du replied categorically.

The faces of the American delegates are not very good-looking, and the Chinese Empire clearly intends not to give any face. The faces of the British are not very good-looking. After all, Britain also hoped that the Chinese Empire would abandon the 'Pangu-class' battleships. In this case, China will be much less of a threat to Britain while it needs to deal with both Japan and the United States.

Japan's delegates were smiling, wishing that China and Britain and the United States would tear their faces apart. In this case, in order to contain China, Britain and the United States will provide more support and help to Japan.

As for the representatives of France and Italy, it is none of their business to hang high. Of course, these two countries are equally interested in developing their own powerful navies. It's just that compared with Britain, the United States and China, their naval strength is still too poor.

"Representatives of China, can't you make some efforts for world peace? It is very beneficial for all of humanity to keep the world at peace. The people of the world will be grateful to you. U.S. Secretary of State Hughes seemed a little distressed, and seemed to be very sorry for the current attitude of the Chinese Empire.

"Your Excellency, don't put on the head of the Empire. The Chinese Empire hoped to achieve world peace. But. We want the empire to be free from threats. You have repeatedly asked the Empire to limit its naval armaments, but you have not imposed any restrictions on the Empire's enemies. The Empire has serious doubts about your attitude. Even doubts about the impartiality of this meeting. Therefore, please stop trying to persecute the Empire. Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi retorted. Of course, this little trick of the Americans and the British cannot be concealed.

The Americans, of course, and the British, will deny this. The Americans, in particular, as the host country of this meeting. They have to give people an image of fairness and justice. Otherwise, it will undoubtedly be impossible for the United States to further enhance its international status through this meeting. It can even have the opposite effect.

The first day of the meeting ended in such a quarrel. The plan proposed by the Americans did not support them by any country other than the British. It is clear that countries are not stupid. If we agree to this set of plans put forward by the Americans, the interests of all countries will be seriously harmed. The Americans, on the other hand, and the British, were able to share supremacy at sea with the great naval power they possessed.

"Humph! The Americans are really good at making calculations! If their plan is passed. Then they would have a navy as strong as the British. And the naval strength of the empire will be curtailed as a result. What's more, the Japanese are still frantically expanding their armaments, and all the naval forces of the empire may have to be used against the Japanese. If the empire did not have the 'Pangu-class' battleships, it would not even be able to deal with the Japanese. And this is probably what Britain and the United States and other countries want to see. In this case, the empire that has been trapped in the Far East. There will be no way to compete with them for world hegemony. On the bus returning to the embassy from the Independence Memorial in Washington, Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said.

"Hmmm! The Americans obviously thought that the empire was easy to bully. As long as we keep an eye on the Japanese. If the Japanese do not agree to abandon the Yamato-class battleships, we will not agree to give up the Pangu-class battleships. I'm going to see what they're going to do this time. The smile on the face of Yang Du, the prime minister of the empire, seemed to have disappeared from the previous anger. After all, the empire does not have the so-called 'Pangu-class' battleships at all, all this is just a façade. It's just what the Empire uses to confuse its opponents.

The Chinese delegation was the first to leave, followed by the representatives of France and Italy. The two countries seem to be very dissatisfied with the contempt of Britain and the United States. So, at this meeting, they preferred to remain silent.

As for the representative of Japan. stayed. In the plan of the Americans, they only have a quota of 300,000 tons, which is obviously not enough! Therefore, they also need to ask the Americans to understand.

"Your Excellency, the quota of 300,000 tons is simply not enough for the Japanese Navy. Dandan, four 'Yamato-class' battleships, is already almost 300,000 tons. Couldn't the rest of the Amagi-class battlecruisers, Kii-class battleships, and the Hiei battlecruisers be dismantled? In this case, we will have no way to contain the Chinese Navy! Masaki Terauchi looked embarrassed.

"Prime Minister of the temple, this is just a show for the Chinese. Japan is our important ally, our main force against the Chinese, how can we contain Japan's navy in this way? Hughes laughed.

"Yes, our main purpose is to get the Chinese to abandon the Pangu-class battleships and accept our terms. That's all that matters. British Prime Minister David Lloyd George also said.

"So what do we do? The Chinese are now keeping an eye on us. If we are not willing to give up the 'Yamato-class' battleships and the 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers, the Chinese will not give up the 'Pangu-class' battleships, let alone agree to this plan. Masaki Terauchi was a little puzzled. This seems to be an unsolvable problem, and Chinese are not fools, how can they accept a plan that they know is not good for them?

"Prime Minister of the temple, this requires us to act in a play. At tomorrow's meeting, if the Chinese continue to be aggressive, I am afraid that we will only be able to cooperate with the Chinese and put pressure on you. When the time comes, you can leave the meeting in anger and announce your withdrawal from the meeting. Then, you can leave Washington, D.C., and leave the United States and go home. And this meeting has nothing to do with you. How you should develop the navy, just follow your plan. Hughes said.

"Ahh Terauchi Masatsuki was shocked, but he didn't expect the Americans and the British to use such a method.

"But what if the Chinese also learn from us and withdraw from the meeting?" Masaki Terauchi asked. After all, Japan can withdraw from the conference, and China can also withdraw from the meeting.

"We will not give the Chinese this chance. When the time comes, we will put all the pressure on China. If China withdraws from the meeting, then there will be no need to continue this meeting. This also means that a full-scale confrontation between us and the Chinese is about to begin. The United States of America will build new warships at all costs, and all of them will be deployed in the Pacific direction. The British Navy will also deploy its main forces to Asia and the Far East. When the time comes, we will join forces to challenge China. In that case, do the Chinese still have a chance of winning? Even if they have a strong army, we can't wipe them out. However, the total annihilation of the Chinese Navy is inevitable. China's coastal cities will also be in ruins. Therefore, the Chinese should think it through. In the end, they had no choice but to agree to our terms. Hughes smiled, as if everything was under their control.

Terauchi Masashi nodded, he also believed that if this plan was implemented, the possibility of compromise by the Chinese was very high. He even hoped that the Chinese would be resolute and uncompromising. In this case, a full-scale confrontation between China and Britain and the United States will begin. Japan will receive more support from both Britain and the United States. If war does break out, even if the army cannot win, the navy will definitely win. At that time, Japan will be able to rise from this.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, we know what to do." Masaki said with a happy face.

The next day, the meeting continued. At the very beginning of the meeting, the US side directly asked the Chinese delegates how they had considered it and whether they were willing to accept their conditions.

However, the Chinese delegation's answer is still no different from yesterday's. Japan was still asked to abandon the 'Yamato-class' battleships and the 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers first, otherwise, they would not agree.

Britain and the United States seemed to have no choice but to turn the spearhead to Japan and demand that Japan abandon the 'Yamato-class' battleships and the 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers and contribute to world peace.

At this time, the time for the Japanese to perform has come.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Japan is only a small and weak country compared to other big countries like you, and it is always under the threat of a powerful country. Japan is desperately trying to develop its navy, and it has no intention of expanding abroad, and we just want to protect our own security. But now, you are pressing on Japan step by step, and this is clearly a desire to sacrifice Japan in order to get what a big country wants. Although Japan is a small country, it has decided that it will not give in easily. So this time the meeting, we quit! After Terauchi finished speaking, he got up and left the venue.

Yasuya Uchida and Rokuro Yashiro also followed. (To be continued.) )
