Chapter 130 Not a Good Thing

"Haha, the Americans are really clever. They use Japan but restrict Japan." Hiromon Ito's words were full of ridicule. If the United States was good to Japan at the beginning, the United States hoped to use the Japanese military power to further open the door of the Qing Dynasty and then make it easier for it to enter. So they bought Japanese bonds and provided various supplies to the Japanese during the war. (This is a fact).

However, due to Ruprecht's intervention, especially after the Battle of Toyoshima, the Germans easily destroyed two Japanese main battleships when caught off guard. This shocked the Americans. If before that, the Americans believed that the American fleet could still fight with Germany. After the battle, the Americans realized that the ability of ocean-going combat was far inferior to that of Germany.

Since then, the attitudes of Russia and France have also made Americans very worried, especially since this matter was suppressed, the subsequent events have been fermenting. The British can only temporarily suppress it. The real fall for Japan and Germany was purely raised by a donkey. The Americans also realized this. Faced with the Three Kingdoms that suddenly gathered together, the Americans also began to adjust their diplomatic strategies, from tending to providing help to purely doing business.

After the Lushunkou Massacre, in the articles of survivors and foreigners, Japan almost became the same as animals. Even if Japan conquered and used various resources to whitewash itself, how could Japan compare with Russia, Germany and France in terms of its influence on the West? This brutal act eventually caused an uproar in the United States.

In the end, the change in the attitude of the US government and the pressure of public opinion led to another thing happening - the United States and Japan's contract exchange failed! The United States and Japan signed many unequal treaties, and Japan naturally wanted to change it back after its rise. This happened to be due to the outbreak of the Battle of Toshima. On the one hand, the Japanese were indeed crazy enough, not enough. On the other hand, the US government's distrust of Japan, such a fight that was big, reckless, and reckless, and arbitrary, and arbitrary, and arbitrary relationship with the three major powers. Is it worth the friendship that the Americans have paid?

Americans thought about it and thought it was not worth it, so they rejected Japan's request for a contract exchange under the excuse of Japan's Lushunkou Massacre. How can Japan, who was in a difficult situation at this time, now? In the end, Japanese Minister Shinichiro Kurino could only swallow this bitter fruit. The failure of Japan-US contract exchange ultimately led to the sudden coldness of the relationship between the United States and Japan that could continue to heat up! And now, the purpose of the United States and the Three Kingdoms contact was naturally very clear. They wanted to get benefits from the Qing Dynasty through the Three Kingdoms, and Japan was completely abandoned!

"What about the compensation? 200 million taels of silver cannot be reduced anymore. We have now used up all our pre-war reserves, and all the maturing bonds and various deficits to be paid together are about 120 million taels! We need development and require a lot of funds. If we can't get this little money, Japan's future will be unimaginable and we can't stop Germany at all. If the Three Kingdoms want Japan to give up the Liaodong Peninsula and Taiwan Island, then let the Qing Dynasty exchange silver!" Hirobuki Ito said.

"250 million taels of silver! The empire can give up all colonial requirements." Hirobuki Ito gave the final reserve price. If it was less, in his opinion, this war would be in vain!

"What can you do if the other party disagrees?" Chamberlain said with a sneer. "It's really a fight with the Three Kingdoms? Russia won't provoke trouble because it's unnecessary. And if you dare to take the initiative to take action first, you can try it."

"What is their bottom line?" Ito Hirobuki's distorted face was particularly hideous!

"Even if you reduce this number by 100 million, they will not be satisfied!" Chamberlain said. "They are going to let Japan die now, boil frogs in warm water, and slowly kill you." Facing the already explicit words of Chamberlain Ito Hirobuki, who did not reply, because he knew that the British would not let Japan die. If he really planned to abandon Japan, then what else Chamberlain did to come here to give up Japan? What are you thinking? You must not speak now. Whoever speaks will suffer!

"Cunning guy!" Chamberlain cursed in his heart as he looked at Hirobuki Ito who had been silent. What is the purpose of saying such a bunch of words that made the Japanese nervous and even had a hint of insult? It's really okay to mock it! If this is true, what kind of envoy Chamberlain is? Go back and take care of the children directly!

Chamberlain is waiting for timely help! Isn’t Japan a waste of money? It doesn’t matter. The British Empire lent you, isn’t it 100 million taels of silver? Is it a lot? The British Empire can throw 200 million pounds of pounds of silver when it hits a Boer. The installment loan of 100 million taels of silver is just a drizzle. Of course, this sweetness cannot be given casually. You have to know gratitude and take practical actions. Do you understand?

The British formulated a series of economic aid and compensation plans for Japan, which involved all aspects of the matter, but the cost was also very high. If Japan agreed, the economic lifeline would almost be held in the hands of the UK. Japan would really become the knife of the British.

"This is not enough!" Hirobuki Ito glanced at it and threw the documents sent by Chamberlain aside. "You want too much, but you give too little! We are not dogs, we are wolfs, and wolves want to eat meat!"

"Haha, then you wolf is going to fight with three tigers once?" Chamberlain was shocked when he looked at Hirobuki Ito who had been completely let go! The barefoot ones are not afraid of wearing shoes. What do the Japanese want to do this time?

"We can't afford to offend the three major powers. Even if this matter is over, Japan does not want to offend France and Germany except Russia. One of these two countries can give money to the Russians and the other can provide equipment. With them, it is difficult for the empire to beat Russia. But Japan must get compensation! I have a document here that you must send to the Prime Minister in person, which determines the future of the Far East!" Hirofumi Ito took a deep breath, then took out a sealed box and handed it to Chamberlain solemnly.

"If our plan does not receive support from the UK, then there is no need for our cooperation to continue. We will negotiate with Russia. We only need North Korea and Northeast affairs, your country will handle it ourselves!" Hirobu Ito now has a little bit of anti-compulsive intention!

"I can't decide on this matter, but I will send it to the Prime Minister. We will try our best to cooperate with Japan's actions, but don't have too much hope for this negotiation." Chamberlain said.
