"Some problems arose within the British Empire. I need to temporarily suspend the talks and return to China to deal with some things. This is definitely not disrespect for your country. I will leave the Foreign Minister Earl Belfort to be responsible for the relevant liaison matters." When facing Crown Prince Ruprecht again, British Prime Minister Asquith's attitude can be described as humility!

"Mr. Prime Minister, to some extent, both parties to the negotiation are opponents. Your country has reason to suspend the negotiations because of its own interests. After all, India is very important to your country. But what I want to say is that every day your country delays is a loss for the German Empire. Just like bank loans, funds are a day earlier or a day later, which means the loss of profits. I think you should understand what I mean." Ruprecht said with a smile, his attitude is very clear. Germany is going to make an extra note when you are sick!

"But now the British Empire cannot provide the compensation you requested, and even the down payment is impossible. I think your country must not want the British Empire to collapse, right? Because if that is the case, your country will not get a penny! We must first stabilize the form of the colony, and then raise funds to compensate you." Asquith tried his best to defend himself.

"The uprising in the colonies is your country's business, and it cannot be a reason to prevent us from receiving the spoils. Of course, from my personal perspective, we can give some understanding, but the premise is that you must make some sincere actions, and don't forget that most of your country's army assets are still in the hands of the German Empire. If you want to suppress the uprising, a well-equipped and well-trained army must be left out." Ruprecht said.

"Oh, this is still here." Although I was prepared in my heart, in the face of the Germans' pressing step by step, Asquis could only take out the biggest bargaining chips: "If your country is willing to temporarily suspend negotiations, and can release some of the Royal Army personnel and return some equipment, the British Empire can start the transfer of the South African Federation within three days."

"The South African Federation is not enough. During the transfer process by Rhodesia and Southern Rhodesia, all the assets, wealth and documents of the colony cannot be transferred or destroyed. If there is a situation that we do not want to see, your country will face very severe punishment. At the same time, for areas that the empire cannot accept, your country also needs to fulfill these obligations, otherwise all losses of the German Empire will eventually be reflected in compensation and additional terms! Do you understand what I mean?" said Grand Duke Baden on the side.

"At this point, the imperial government will cooperate fully. Within three days after I go back, I will provide the German government with a specific transfer plan. You can communicate with Count Belfort for all the problems encountered in the transfer. He is the plenipotent representative of the empire. Are you satisfied now?" asked Prime Minister Asquis.

"Very good, I think we can start the next question." Ruprecht said with a smile.

"How do you know I want to discuss the next issue with you?" Asquis said somewhat surprised. Because this was a temporary meeting, there was no so-called meeting minutes. It is logical that Germans should not know that they are going to talk about other issues. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, their first priority is to return to the UK to deal with the chaos.

"It's still early, let's make a game. Let's guess your next issue." Ruprecht said with a smile: "You must want to know the limits of doing business in Britain and a certain country in the Far East in the future? That's right? After all, the suppression of force can only temporarily solve the colonial problem. If Britain wants to overcome this difficulty and pay enough compensation to Germany, it will still be exchanged for a large amount of hard currency."

"You are right." Asquith's face changed slightly, but he admitted it. "This time you won again. For the sake of the empire, we must continue to do business with the terrible allies in the Far East. You have earned gold and silver from the Japanese pockets through Britain, and weakened the most powerful potential opponent of the German Empire through us and the Japanese. It's really a killing of two birds with one stone. What's even more frustrating is that the British Empire must take the blame. You are so amazing, and you have no choice!"

"Well, since you want to know the limit, I can tell you, first, all the army weapons and air force aircraft, accessories can be provided to Japan, but these things can only be passed through the United Kingdom. We can return your assets under your control to your country and then export them to Japan."

"In the Navy, before the end of the war, your country can consider taking no more than two large battleships, and these warships cannot be too advanced. As for the reasons and means, that is your problem. How to deal with the Americans is also your problem. Once the UK and Germany sign a formal peace agreement, warships with tonnage of more than 10,000 tons are not allowed to be transferred!" Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

For the first point, naturally, the Germans wanted to clear their relationship. In fact, in order to completely remove Germany from this matter, there are many things to do. For example, Germany had to destroy a large number of old weapons and make the illusion of destroying weapons. Then the British retrieved some of the new weapons and resold them to Japan.

As for the second point, it is to expand the rift between the United States and Britain! After all, the German navy only monitors the British battleships, and the actual ownership is still the British navy. If the negotiations go smoothly, Germany will allow Britain to retain the remaining battleships of the large fleet. However, no matter what, these battleships are old. The British have the idea of ​​dealing with old goods and the Japanese have the needs, so the business can naturally be done. Of course, this kind of thing is a tightrope. If you do it again, it will probably be too stimulating the Americans and lead to unpredictable consequences.

Of course, Ruprecht cannot indulge the British's behavior too much. After all, on the battlefield, Germany and Japan are enemies, Ruprecht does not want the British to sell the main battleships to Japan to cause great losses to the German fleet! Therefore, Ruprecht hinted that the British sold old warships. These warships were a huge threat to the US Navy, but the threat to the elite high seas fleet was very small. The best result was that the US Navy ordered some warships from the German Navy... After all, after the war, the German high seas fleet also had to update its main fleet, and some old ships had to deal with it!
