The Americans soon sent back the news to the Japanese that they were willing to join the war between the Chinese Empire and the Entente and the Allies together with Japan, and then the United States and Japan urgently negotiated and revealed the ideas of their two countries to the Entente and the Allies, mainly to reach out to the Entente and the Allies for benefits, although the two countries have made up their minds to join the war for their own reasons, but if they can get benefits from the Entente and the Allies, neither the United States nor Japan will refuse.

At the British Prime Minister's official residence at 10 Downing Street in London, England, British Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? In his office, Bannavin said excitedly to the Secretary of War Henry Wiley, the Secretary of the Admiralty Fisher, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Lansdowne: "There is great good news, the ambassadors of the United States and Japan to Great Britain have just come to see me together, and the United States and Japan are ready to join this war between our Entente, the Central Powers and the Chinese Empire, and the United States and Japan are willing to stand on the side of our Entente and the Central Powers, form an alliance with us, and jointly declare war on the Chinese Empire." ”

The other 3 people heard the news for the first time, and suddenly the faces of the 3 British ministers showed an excited look, you must know that although the Entente and the Allies had just won the victory in the defense of Ufa City, but they, the British ministers, knew what the so-called victory was, the loss of more than 3.5 million coalition troops, so that all the countries of the Entente and the Allies were a little unbearable, the number of British Army casualties alone exceeded 200,000, and you must know that the British Army only had 370,000 in Ufa City, And they are all regular troops of the British Army, and the British have lost more than 200,000 of the army. But it's very distressing.

Some of the Entente and Central Powers lost even more than the British, and the German Army lost about 600,000. The French Army lost about 500,000 and the Russian Army about 1.5 million. The Austro-Hungarian Army lost about 310,000, the Ottoman Turkish Army about 290,000, and even the Italian Army more than 120,000, and these losses were still the number of killed, not counting the hundreds of thousands of wounded officers and soldiers of various countries.

As for the more than 2 million enemies annihilated jointly propagated by the Entente and the Central Powers, and their own losses were only more than 1 million, it is enough to listen to it as a beautiful fairy tale, which is to deceive the ordinary people of the Entente and the Central Powers, of course, countries like the United States and Japan. Also deceived.

The end of the Battle of Ufa did not mean the end of the war, and the Chinese Empire's troops had retreated to the area east of the Ural Mountains, and the Entente and the Central Powers were now discussing the deployment of additional land forces into Russia, preparing to accumulate forces to attack the areas east of the Ural Mountains occupied by the Chinese Empire.

However, at present, except for Russia, other countries have begun to reduce the number of additional army units to Russia as much as possible, and the battle of Ufa City has caused too great losses to the armies of various countries, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria and Turkey. They are not willing to send more army units to join the Russian battlefield, and if there are two or three more battles like the city of Ufa, the armies of their six countries will have to take it, and then they will not even have the troops to defend their own country.

Now, two relatively powerful countries, the United States and Japan, have suddenly appeared. To enter the camp of the Entente and the Central Powers, as the three important ministers of Britain, they were definitely in favor of raising their hands, and the United States and Japan jumped out at this time. It's just a timely rain.

Admiral Fisher sighed: "This is really good news, the United States and Japan are both great powers in the world. The United States has a powerful navy, and before this war, the US Navy was ranked fourth in the world. Now our British Navy, the German Navy, and even the Navy of the Chinese Empire have suffered great losses in this war, and now the total displacement alone, the US Navy is not even much less than the first-ranked Chinese Imperial Navy, and the Japanese Navy has always been a very powerful navy, and before the war, it was also ranked sixth in the world, and now the total displacement of the Japanese Navy is even very close to the French Navy, which was originally ranked fifth. If it weren't for the fact that the French Navy had just completed the construction of six Provence-class dreadnought battleships, the fifth place in the French Navy would have been given to the Japanese Navy. With the U.S. Navy and the Japanese Navy, plus the navies of our Entente and Allied Powers, if a joint expeditionary fleet is formed again, the navy of the Chinese Empire will surely be defeated. ”

Eight Orion-class super dreadnought battleships of the British Navy have been built, but in terms of total displacement, they are somewhat less than the naval forces of the Chinese Empire and the United States.

War Minister Henry Wiley also said excitedly: "The scale of the Japanese Army is very large, according to intelligence, the Japanese Army has a standing army of about 3 million, and Japan is still expanding the number of the army, there are currently more than 1 million new troops in the formation, if Japan joins this war, it will bring more than 4 million army troops to our Entente and the Allies." The U.S. Army is not very strong, but it already has a size of more than one million, and if the United States also enters the war, we will have more than 1 million more troops. As long as these two countries join the war, even if the land forces of these two countries cannot be put into the Russian battlefield, they will still contain a large number of troops of the Chinese Empire, making it much easier for our Entente and Allied powers to be on the Russian battlefield. ”

The Marquis of Lansdowne, Minister of Foreign Affairs, said with a smile: "It seems that the Americans and the Japanese saw that the Chinese Empire suffered a big loss in the Battle of Ufa City, so they jumped out impatiently, and were ready to follow behind our Entente and the Allies to pick up cheap, but for this kind of cheap behavior, we should vigorously support it, with the United States and Japan, our chances of winning this war are much greater." ”

Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? Banavin said with a smile: "To be honest, although the army of the Chinese Empire was repelled in Ufa City, the losses of our Allied and Allied forces were too great, and now the new plan for the Russian battlefield has not been determined, and now with the addition of the United States and Japan, it can also give countries confidence boost." In addition, relying on the navies of the United States and Japan, we can even form a second joint expeditionary fleet to once again fight the main naval force of the Chinese Empire at sea. ”

After a pause, Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? Banavin continued, "But both the United States and Japan have put forward some conditions for joining the war. ”

War Secretary Henry Wiley frowned and asked, "What conditions have both the United States and Japan put forward?" ”

Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? "The United States and Japan have asked us in Britain and Germany and France to provide technology for new anti-aircraft guns and new anti-aircraft machine guns," Banavin said. In case the armies of the two countries can carry out effective air defense against the fighters of the Chinese Empire, in addition, our three countries have not yet thoroughly developed new fighters. If the development is successful, the United States and Japan must also provide the United States and Japan with the production technology of the new fighter free of charge. The Japanese also asked us to provide a series of production technologies, including tank manufacturing, large-caliber artillery manufacturing, and special steel manufacturing. And the Japanese also want to get a large amount of loans, or even free aid. ”

Admiral Fisher said: "The United States and Japan can give them the technology of the new anti-aircraft guns and new anti-aircraft machine guns that they want, and as for the new fighters developed by Britain, Germany, and France, it is not indispensable for the Americans and the Japanese to be given after the successful development for the sake of victory in the war, but these are not something that we can decide in Britain alone, after all, these technologies belong to our Britain, Germany, and France, but I believe that Germany and France have learned of the requirements of the United States and Japan." We will certainly not be stingy with the technology of new air defense weapons and new fighters, and with the entry of the United States and Japan, we will be much better off fighting this war. ”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Lansdowne, followed and said: "I think the remaining demands of the Japanese can be met by them, as long as Japan is allowed to join this war, everything will be worth it." ”

Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? Banavin nodded and said: "Then our British Empire has agreed in principle to the conditions of the United States and Japan, and now it depends on the attitude of Germany and France, but I don't expect Germany and France to think too much about these issues, I believe in the near future." We'll have 2 more allies fighting side by side. ”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis de Lansdowne, immediately said: "I will tell the Germans and the French about the attitude of our British Empire, and I believe that the Germans and the French will equally hope that the United States and Japan will join this war and share the pressure for everyone." ”

Prime Minister Henry? Campbell? Banavin touched his sideburns and said, "Marquis." To the Entente and the rest of the Central Powers, we have to show that we in Great Britain have been running a very large deficit lately, and we are no longer able to come up with funds. Several other countries need to find a way to meet Japan's loan or non-reimbursable aid. ”

In the Imperial Palace in Berlin, Germany. German Chancellor Hohenlohe told the German Emperor Wilhelm II about the terms of the United States and Japan. Wilhelm II did not hesitate to say: "We, Germany, can agree to the conditions of the United States and Japan!" Let the United States and Japan join this war, we will have a much better chance of winning this war, these two countries are not weak in the navy and army, but we Germany can not come up with any money for loans or free aid to Japan, this point must be made clear to the other countries of the Entente and the Central Powers, we Germany are now short of money, and it is impossible to provide Japan with a large amount of funds. ”

Prime Minister Hohenlohe nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister knows what to do!" If the United States and Japan join the war, the final victory of this war should be unquestionable, and the minister thinks that we Germany should think more about the post-war period, after all, our allies and the entente are only temporarily united, after defeating the Chinese Empire, if we don't get our allies and the entente to meet each other, you must know that the spoils seized from the Chinese Empire must be very amazing, and the minister is worried that in the post-war distribution, the Entente Britain, France and Russia will have disputes with our allies. ”

Wilhelm II nodded and sighed and said: "I understand what the prime minister meant, don't worry, I will not send too many army troops to the Russian battlefield this time, I also know that our allies and the Entente are not friends, but there is a very big contradiction, if it were not for the behemoth of the Chinese Empire, maybe war would have broken out between our allies and the Entente long ago." ”

Prime Minister Hohenlohe bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty can think so, sooner or later there will be a war between our allies and the Entente, and we Germany cannot expend all our strength in the war with the Chinese Empire, and we must leave considerable strength to deal with the complicated situation in the future." Your Majesty, I would like to inform the countries of the terms under which Germany has agreed to the entry of the United States and Japan into the war. ”

Wilhelm II exhorted: "Prime Minister should remember that technology can be given, but there is no money. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! I understand! ”

In the Elysée Palace in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France, in the office of the French president, President Lubet, together with the French Minister of the Admiralty Gomis and the Minister of the War Jeannontro, discussed the entry of the United States and Japan into the war.

The results of the discussion are similar to the attitude of the British and Germans, all of whom are warmly welcome to the United States and Japan to join the war with the Chinese Empire, and fully agree with the conditions required by the United States and Japan, but France is not ready to pay for Japan, France is now building 10 Frion super-dreadnought battleships at the same time, as well as a large number of other types of warships, the French Army is also expanding, and new fighters have also been eyebrow-owned, and if the large-scale manufacture of new fighters will also require a lot of money, The landlord's family had no surplus food.

As for the entry of the United States and Japan into the war, Britain, France and Germany among the Entente and the Central Powers fully agreed, and the remaining four countries certainly did not object, the Chinese Empire is not a soft persimmon, and with more powerful countries joining this war against the Chinese Empire, their victory rate will be much greater.

However, there was a problem, the loans or free aid that Japan asked for, Britain, France and Germany were not ready to pay for it, and the remaining four poorer countries were not to be counted on, so the Japanese received a warm letter of thanks from the Entente and the Allied Powers, thanking Japan for preparing to join this just war for mankind, and for a number of technologies requested by Japan, including the technology of new air defense weapons and the technology of new fighters, the Entente and the Allied Powers will provide Japan free of charge. However, at present, the Entente and the Central Powers have suffered a huge amount of consumption in the war, and the Entente and the Central Powers are powerless with Japan's loans and free aid.
