Chapter 16: Go Your Own Way

Tourism is really a good way, when the relationship between Britain and China was at an impasse, Mr. Sadaoyi came to China to travel, and now China wants to open up the situation in East Timor, and let Yuan Shikai travel.

The national policy is like this, sometimes you have to know that the road is roundabout, and you have to know the way to retreat.

The matter in East Timor is not so simple, and Japan's promise to let it be autonomous is due to pressure from the international community, and the cake they bite into is so big that many people are blushing when they look at it. Just like when the United States, Russia and Britain forced him to return to Liao, if you don't spit it out, you may not be able to digest this mouthful.

Even if Japan had made concessions, the British were clearly not satisfied with the fact that Japan had granted autonomy only to that region. Yang Xiaolin has already exchanged views with the British side, and they hope that China will come forward to organize the Chinese there to fight for more rights.

I didn't say it clearly, but Commander Yang understood.

France and the United States have followed the British in this matter, and the gentlemen have not only made promises, but have even begun to favor the Chinese side in their news, looking for reasons for China's involvement in East Timor.

Britain was hampered by the Anglo-Japanese alliance, but France and the United States had not so many scruples, and their newspapers reported on the suffering of Chinese living in Indonesia during the war, and strongly condemned the Japanese for ignoring third-country nationals.

Yang Xiaolin can be sure that at this time, if he is tougher and fights for more rights as Britain said, Anglo-American law will support him, and Germany and Austria will not say anything. This seems to be a no-brainer, but not all the fat in front of you can be eaten.

Japan is a wolf, and their willingness to spit out the food they eat in their mouths is an anomaly in itself. And what's even more abnormal is that a group of wolves around them are actually humble, have they changed sex? Do you really love peace?

Yang Xiaolin made it very clear when he asked Yuan Shikai to travel. It must be made clear to the Chinese in East Timor that at this stage, China only supports their autonomy under Japanese rule, and can only cooperate with them in the necessary economic projects. By agreeing to this, China could be their strong backing, and if they had any idea of opposing Japanese rule, China would not help them.

Yang Xiaolin knew that his decision would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people in China, and it would also make those overseas Chinese feel disappointed in the newly established Chinese government. There's no way to do it, the British throw this piece of fat at you, just to watch you eat it!

The people of Japan are also emotional. They are very unhappy with the government's approach to making East Timor self-governing! They believed that it was the place where the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire had beaten down with their lives, and that it was they who had tightened their belts to build the navy.

We have paid so much for the war, and it is already unacceptable for your government to let him be autonomous, and if China goes to become independent again, then the war will not work.

The gentlemen didn't have any good intentions! If Yang Xiaolin really listened to them and rushed to fight with the Japanese, it would not be of any benefit to China. If you lose, China will be heavily indebted, and it will not be possible for Japan to leave you with a blue sea of navy in the future. Even if you win, Japan will lose Indonesia. But this account will be counted by the Japanese on your Chinese head, and your navy will not be able to develop in the future.

For what? Because gentlemen also play balance, they will leave Japan with enough strength to fight you, and your victory will only be achieved if they help you. If you don't want to be retaliated against by Japan, you can only beg them again.

It is even possible that they feel that China cannot control it, and will help Japan to fight China again, a hand that Britain has played many times in Europe.

Therefore, Yang Xiaolin does not want to fight with Japan now, let alone fight a battle with Japan that gentlemen say "teach them a lesson". In Yang Xiaolin's plan, the war with Japan was not like this. If you want to fight, you have to kill it at once, otherwise you won't fight.

China will never risk the lives of its own soldiers to fight other people's battles, no matter what kind of bait you throw. I'm always on my own footsteps.

A small East Timorese British can make a big game of chess, the bait and trap are ready, but China has not jumped down. This somewhat gave Mr. Sa Daoyi a new view of Yang Xiaolin, a beast.

This guy hates the Japanese and likes to fight with people. Helping the Chinese in East Timor to build an independent state is very beneficial to the Chinese ruling class, both politically and in terms of prestige. The promise of the British Empire has been very clear, as long as you China dare to go to it, I will immediately provide you with ready-made warships, and at the same time help you train soldiers, help you shipyards, and even directly help you beat the Japanese if necessary.

This condition is absolutely interesting enough, and the Germans did not support China to fight Russia in the first place. The British really thought that Yang Xiaolin would definitely agree, even if he saw through Britain's intentions.

But I never thought that guy actually controlled the desire in his heart, and Japan said that East Timor was only autonomous, and he recognized that it was autonomous. Even on the issue of the Chinese navy, Yang Xiaolin's development plan ran counter to the British's plan for support.

What the British mean is that I will provide you with a few warships and build a training base first. But Yang Xiaolin's request is to build a shipyard first, and he has not built warships immediately, his first batch of ships are all merchant ships, and the Chinese side's explanation to the outside world is that China needs merchant ships more now than warships.

As for whether the British provided warships, Commander Yang also had a request, not too good and too advanced, that would cost too much, and we don't have money now. You give me a few ships, and I'll retire them soon and use them to train soldiers.

Sa Daoyi looked at the diplomatic letter handed to him by Yang Xiaolin, and after reading it three times, he suddenly put it down, and gently slapped his temple a few times with his hand: "Mr. Bowau, is this beast really washing his hands in a golden basin?" ”

Bowworth sat next to Sadaoyi and shook his head slightly: "He's shrewd, and he's obviously not willing to charge us. ”

Britain and France are now getting closer and closer, and there are many problems on which they seem to be one country, and they have formed a powerful force in Europe to deal with the German-Austrian alliance. In Asia, the interests of Britain and France are basically the same, and the rise of Japan will certainly redraw the scope of power in Asia, and there is reliable information that the next target of the Japanese is the Philippines.

The current national strength of the United States is really not much different from Japan, and after the victory of Indonesia, little Japan and Siam are getting closer and closer, and these two countries have formed a situation of pincer attack on the Philippines, and the situation of the Americans is not optimistic.

Sa Daoyi's expression was a little anxious, and he took out a cigar from the drawer and put it in his mouth: "Bow, I really don't understand, why is Yang Dagui unwilling to do this?" Was he willing to watch Japan go ahead of him step by step? Did he really think that with the Army, he would be able to rest easy? Cooperation with us is the best way for the construction of the Chinese Navy, it is a path that will benefit us all, and he has no reason to refuse. ”

Bowo's finger tapped Sardor on Saud: "Let me warn you, he really didn't promise us. And this guy is now even cutting out the army, God knows what he wants to do! Conger came to us three times a day yesterday, and the American side demanded that we must persuade China to contain Japan, and that we must help the Americans. ”

China's contacts with Japan were secret, but it could not escape the eyes of the British, and Saudrey was well aware that a deal might have been reached between China and Japan that would avoid war. This is not in the interests of Britain, if the Chinese are not willing to be stronger on the issue of the navy, then it is difficult for the Americans to support in the Philippines, no one can guarantee that Japan will get the Filipino language again, will they keep their eyes on Malaysia again, do they want the British to come and fight Japan in person?

In the past, if it had been a few years ago, Japan would not have dared to make such a big move with such fanfare, and the fleet of the British Empire could sail to any corner of the world, but now it can't. Wilhelm II, like a madman, shouted to redraw the world. In the past, the British did not pay much attention to Germany because although Germany had a strong army, it could not have a navy.

In recent years, German warships have been launched one by one, and the overall strength of the German navy has far surpassed that of France and Russia combined, and has leapt to the second place in the world. The British Empire had to keep them to the death, and if they were to be killed, Britain would definitely lose more than one Asia.

Sa Daoyi thought for a while, he suddenly felt a little frustrated or angry, I don't know when did Lu Dao start, the British Empire actually cared so much about the attitude of that beast? Mr. Sadaoyi didn't like Yang Xiaolin at all, he was just a bastard. But now Mr. Sadaoyi has no choice, for the good of our homeland, he must deal with that beast.

The businessmen and bankers who hate it the most, they seem to have forgotten what that guy came from, and now they're putting pressure on the government to get closer to China, a little closer, they seem to have forgotten the picture of that guy standing on a bunch of heads, and they've forgotten that it's dangerous to be close to beasts.

In a democratic country, you have to do some things that you don't like, and you have to do what the capitalists in the country want, because although you are appointed by the president, the president is elected.

Sa Daoyi thought for a while, picked up the phone on the table, shook it and said, "Please help me pick up the U.S. Embassy." ”

When the call was transferred, he covered the microphone with his hand: "Bowo, I think we must go and talk to that beast now, there is still room for things." ”

Bowo nodded: "Call Conger, let's go together." (To be continued......)
