Chapter 1282 Deal

"This is OK. The Japanese Army Air Force can send 4 squadrons of fighter jets, 1 squadron of reconnaissance aircraft and 1 squadron of bombers to participate in the Balkan war." Yuto Yama Prefecture thought for a while and said. Although he knew that Yamamoto's motive was not pure, he also believed that something would happen to the Balkans.

"Okay, if the Navy does not express it in this regard, it may seem a bit stingy. The Navy can dispatch a fighter squadron and a reconnaissance aircraft squadron." Yamamoto Honbuki also answered very simply.

"That's good, I think we can go to meet the British. After we can invest in the precious air force and armored forces, the British can no longer accuse us of being half-hearted." Today's exchange was too difficult. Matan, and meeting with the navy and army bosses was more tiring than talking to the British. Nishiyuanji Gongwang fell into deep helplessness.

"So can you give me a clear word, do you want our army to capture the Dardanelles, or don't?" asked Yupeng, Shanxian before leaving.

"We'll talk about this later. I feel that this battle will not end so soon. We have time to decide on this matter." said Koo Wang, Nishienji.

Three days after the end of this parliament, Sir Fisher and General Valentine met with Japanese Prime Minister Kaitaro and Nishimotoji Kouwang. Compared to the last time, the two sides were much more frank this time. The Japanese knew that they could not hide their little thoughts. Since they could not break up with the British directly now, they had to try every means to make up for it. The British also knew that they could never really have a quarrel with Japan at this time. Therefore, this time, both sides broke down and did not mention those unpleasant things.

"Our meeting today only needs to determine important things. Other details can be left to the people below to discuss. After all, we are all big shots and time is tight. According to the information provided by you, Britain and France are planning to launch a large-scale offensive in the Dardanelles? Is that true?" Kanetaro asked.

"That's right, that's the fundamental reason why I came to Japan in person." Sir Fisher said.

"If I don't mind, I want to know the direction of the attack in this battle. Should I attack Huanglong through the strait, or launch an attack from Greece and advance steadily towards Constantinople?" asked Katsura.

"Two lines attack at the same time. Before June this year, we will celebrate victory in Constantinople." Lieutenant General Valentine said.

"In this case, Britain and France need a large number of troops and heavy equipment. After all, in the north of Turkey is Bulgaria, and further north, it is Romania controlled by the Bavarian Legion." Kashitaro said.

"So, is the Japanese Empire going to help here?" Sir Fisher asked.

"We can serve as an onshore offensive. Two divisions entered Greece, and then advanced from land to Constantinople with the Greek army, and try to stop reinforcements from the north of the Allies." Kanetaro said.

"There are only 50,000 people in the two divisions. It's not enough." Fisher frowned slightly and said. This is one division away from his minimum standard!

"This makes me very embarrassed... With Japan's size and these two divisions, we have 6 divisions in Europe, nearly 140,000 troops, and nearly 100,000 laborers. Don't forget that we still need to deploy a large number of troops in the Dutch East India to maintain local stability." Kanetaro said.

"Haha, you deserve it!" Sir Fisher cursed in his heart. "However, we paid for every one of them. You are not losing money. Our loans are proportional to your country's efforts. If your country cannot pay more in today's increasingly severe war situation, then our next loan and related technical cooperation may have an impact."

"It's not friendly to do this." said Nishienji Koi.

"The efforts and rewards are always equal, isn't it?" Fisher said with a smile.

"Well, if we increase the troops to 3 divisions and bring some weapons, what price can you offer?" said Kanetaro.

"Then the amount of loans in the next period will not drop." Fisher's answer was very straightforward.

"What if we can add a chariot wing and a certain number of air forces?" Kanetaro continued to ask.

"A chariot wing?" Fisher really didn't know about this organization.

"It is equivalent to an armored brigade and a tank battalion of an empire." Valentine whispered. "There seems to be only one chariot corps in the country of the Japanese."

"So what additional requirements do you have for doing this?" Valentine asked at Fisher's suggestion. If something goes wrong, there will be a demon! According to the information obtained by Valentine, a chariot wing has about 7,000 to 8,000 officers and soldiers. Theoretically, it is equipped with two battalions of MK1 tanks, a total of 90 units, and a battalion of Renault tanks, which are responsible for cover missions, and there will also be some armored vehicles and artillery. The "cost" of such a wing has exceeded that of a Japanese standing division. The Japanese made this request, obviously to retreat to advance in exchange for more benefits.

"If Türkiye is defeated, I hope we can obtain half of the mining rights of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the Mesopotamian oil fields. The two should understand very well that Japan has no oil." said Koo Wang Nishiroji.

"Haha. This is a very high price. You always fantasize about exchanging something worth a penny for a pound." Fisher sneered.

"This is just one of the conditions. After all, we have many aspects of cooperation. For example, if your country intends to establish an escort system, it requires a large number of destroyers and anti-submarine ships. We can all help. We can provide at least 20 anti-submarine deportations, as well as a large number of experienced naval officers and soldiers to perform this mission. There is also more ship supply." Kanetaro said.

The so-called anti-submarine destroyers are just old-fashioned destroyers that were prepared to be replaced after participating in the Japanese-Russia Naval War. If these ships were not given to the British, they would have a fate of demolishing them. The so-called experienced naval officers and soldiers are naturally those Japanese naval officers and soldiers who retired at home!

"This question involves more than we can decide." Fisher was very surprised by the change in the Japanese attitude this time.

"It's okay, we can wait." Nishiyuanji Gongwang said meaningfully.

"Do you think the British will agree to our request?" Kanetaro asked after the meeting.

"It doesn't matter. Before the Turks fell down, they discussed sharing the spoils? Isn't it too early? I'm just giving the British peace of mind." Nishiyuanji Gongwang said with a smile.
