Chapter 848: I'm in a hurry
"This is an opportunity, a chance to make Japan completely ruined, a chance to make the British bleed!" A cold light flashed in Xu Jie's eyes! In fact, the facts don't matter anymore, Xu Jie has a way to let the British go on according to his own settings, and he goes on willingly! Now the only evidence in China and the United States is this torpedo, and it is also a relatively advanced British torpedo, what will be the consequences if this matter is shaken out? The British are at a loss for words! As for motivation? As long as you want to do it, it's not easy to find an excuse? If Xu Jie knew about this matter, Wilson had already helped Xu Jie with the whole process, maybe Xu Jie would have to thank this good teammate! It's so good to work with!
The British didn't dare to carry this black pot even if they were killed, not to mention that they didn't do it, even if they did, they had to find a way to get rid of it immediately! This is a big game, but it is going to perish, the three countries of the Entente will not be able to fight the three countries of the allies, if China and the United States are on it again, the rice flag will really fall, and the speed of falling is definitely quite fast!
At the critical moment, the British emperor didn't care about the hemorrhage, nor did he care about the sale of advanced torpedoes to Japan behind his back, I'm afraid that at this time, what the British were thinking about was how to quickly pick themselves up and find a scapegoat! If Huaxia pointed out a "clear road" to the British at this time, would the British be grateful to Dade? Of course, the British will not accept it if they are grateful to Xu Jie, but some benefits must be given! Of course, before you can do these things, you have to make enough momentum! Let the British know that China and the United States are not joking! The two great powers have already decided that this is a conspiracy of the British! The two countries are angry! The consequences are severe!
Judging by the current situation, the Americans have locked Britain as an important suspect. At the same time, the Americans were quite angry about this sneak attack! Wilson was even preparing to join forces with the Chinese Navy to make the entire German colony, as well as Australia and New Zealand, blockade zones. It was decided to dig three feet into the ground to find these attackers! The Americans mentioned in the telegram that this was definitely not an accidental, but well thought out. There must be other submarines, and there will definitely be supply ships! So just look for it, and you're sure to find some clues! And a more detailed cooperation plan is also attached! And hinted that if the matter could be settled, the United States would give up its claims to the German colonies!
"Holy! Comrades-in-arms! Xu Jie had to admire President Wilson after seeing the most embarrassing, if he really wanted to go to war with the British, I am afraid that the United States would also have to weigh it. This is not a question that cannot be defeated, but once it makes a bad deal with the Entente, it will fundamentally undermine the established strategy of the United States. Britain is strong and will not pose much of a threat to the United States, but if Germany unifies Europe, then it will be the United States that will be challenged first! Germany, which had defeated Russia and France, had digested the fruits of victory. That would be terrible! The United States will never tolerate Germany, a country more powerful than Britain, to dominate the whole of Europe!
In fact, this matter can be big or small. If you say it is a conspiracy of the British, if you say it in a small way, the blame can be put on the head of any small country. For example, in the history of the Iran-Iraq War, an American frigate was seriously injured by the flying fish launched by Iraqi planes, killing and injuring dozens of people. And this time it is not excluded that the Americans also want to take the opportunity to knock on the possibility! Of course, it is also possible that the Americans really seem to teach Britain a good lesson.
Anyway, though. The interests of China and the United States coincided in this matter, and the two sides immediately changed from a hostile state a few days ago to a comrade-in-arms in the trenches! The Americans have suffered a loss and have to find it from others. This is no problem, as long as it does not affect Huaxia. The Americans proposed a rather radical blockade plan, and Xu Jie agreed. After all, the British will never dare to really fight now. China and the United States can completely turn the bottom upside down, on the one hand to save face, and on the other hand to scare the British. Prepare for the next step.
So, Xu Jie, who had made up his mind, immediately asked people to draft relevant documents. On the one hand, they are preparing to issue a statement together with the United States to revise the story and make it public; of course, the Americans will never mention the "glorious deeds" of the New Mexico being beaten down by the Longwu in 10 minutes, and in order to reduce the hostility of American society, the Chinese government will not mention it. Subsequently, Huaxia and the United States will completely block the "relevant sea areas" and conduct a thorough investigation of the warships and merchant ships of all countries, and those who do not obey will be killed directly! Finally, let the British come up with a statement! And in the name of the most oblique ultimatum! I'm not afraid that the British will not be convinced!
December 4, 1914. When British Prime Minister Lloyd George had just woken up and had not had time to eat breakfast, an urgent telegram was delivered to the table. The prime minister opened the telegram with impatience on his face, only to be directly frightened by the first few words! "On December 2, a US Navy ship was attacked by a British torpedo in the waters off Saipan!" With a click, the paper fell to the ground, and he couldn't believe his eyes. In his opinion, the British had no motive at all to attack the American fleet. Now that we are at war with the Allies, we dare to offend other powers. "There must be a conspiracy in this." At this point, the prime minister can no longer care about the sumptuous dinner on his table, and he now needs to rush to Parliament to discuss countermeasures!
At this time, the British Admiralty had completely exploded, and even the always tough Admiral Churchill was a little silent. Because the document sent to him is a joint ultimatum of China and the United States! All ships in the area of the accident were required to be inspected, including ships carrying supplies to the British Empire and even warships! Moreover, the two countries also demanded that Britain immediately surface all submarines deployed in Australia and New Zealand, accept inspection by the two countries, and kill them directly if they resist! There is not a hint of room for manoeuvre in the tone!
Who was Churchill? Churchill was a strong leader who was determined to fight to the death even when the Germans' bombs were falling over London. It is a hero of the 2nd World War who will never compromise with the fascists! It was the Lord who directly withheld the warships ordered by the Turks in World War I simply because of the inference that "Turkey may defect to the Central Powers"! Never give in, don't admit defeat! But at this moment, Churchill decisively knelt .......
If you don't kneel, you can't do it! The situation is stronger than people, not that there are no such die-hard elements, but if there is really no hope, then the strong people will also collapse. Even a British Imperial supremacist like Churchill. Churchill was not incapable of compromise, and when it came time to draw up the division of interests between the Second World War and the post-war period, Britain had already compromised with the United States and the Soviet Union many times. When Churchill said that this would not work, because he had harmed the interests of the British Empire. Roosevelt and Stalin laughed contemptuously, and then decided what to do! Churchill's toughness was useful when he still had hope, when the disparity in strength was not yet so great as to despair, and now, in the face of the ultimatum of the two great powers, Churchill resolutely relented.
Churchill once again looked at the photos sent by the Americans, and after determining that it was a British torpedo, he immediately called a meeting of his subordinates, and they wanted to know if the British had beaten it! Although he had already confirmed it 100 times in his heart, he still wanted to ask. And when Jericho, Betty and other important ministers returned to the Admiralty from the fleet anchorage, such a news really shocked them, and then, the commander of the British Navy in Australia sent a telegram to Churchill mentioning that the British did have submarines sailing in the area of the accident, but they would never launch torpedoes! And it means that all the torpedoes can be found, and this torpedo is definitely not shot by the British! But the last one also said that the torpedo on the picture was indeed made in England!
"They actually put Australia and New Zealand into the so-called accident area, and even demanded that the warships and merchant ships of the British Empire be inspected, which is absolutely not allowed!" At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded out of place, and then everyone looked at the officer with a rather strange look. The implication is, "What if you are not allowed to do so?" At this time, there was really a conflict with Huaxia and the U.S. Navy? "And what a big country is, a big country is absolutely going to do it when it says it! Face is sometimes important, especially this time! China and the United States against Britain in the midst of war! Almost all the participants did not doubt that this time the two countries were really annoyed, and they could definitely say it!
The British had no choice but to accept each other's demands, in the eyes of many officers in the Admiralty, this time, the glory of the British Empire for hundreds of years was completely ruined, since the British Empire defeated the Dutch, although it sometimes suffered a little loss when it fought with France in the era of Louis XIV, but why was it so humiliating? And this time, the Royal Navy from top to bottom did not have the slightest intention of resisting. This is really unaffordable!
However, the British government believes that this is not enough! After some reflection, the British government said that it would cooperate with the operations of China and the United States in the relevant waters, and that the British fleet could help with logistical problems. Be sure to dig out who is behind it! It was only now that the Chinese and US governments began to make real preparations to arrest the real culprits, and a large number of anti-submarine destroyers began to travel from the mainland of China and the west coast of the United States to the area where the incident occurred. And it was at this time that the second attack took place! A Chinese merchant ship was sunk by a torpedo before entering Semarang! And this incident has angered the first-class powers on the planet even more!
"I'm more and more sure who did it now." When he heard that a merchant ship had been sunk again, Xu Jie smiled and looked at which island country on the map. There was a killing intent in his eyes!
