"Second, now, the new overlord of the world that can dominate the fate of Britain hopes that Britain will continue to do business with us. You should be very clear that if Germany does not want to, then your country may not even give us a shell. However, for its own interests, the German Empire hopes to see our relationship with Britain continue, and to see the British weapons in our hands stained with American blood. Therefore, you will meet me here. I am right?"

"Okay, since we have both needs, then don't pretend anymore. Let's explain the problem clearly. We make a request. You put forward prices. If there are any difficulties, we can negotiate with each other and solve the problem. Isn't this better?" Kikujiro Ishii paused and continued. "By the way, I am the plenipotentiary of the Japanese Empire. We can discuss many things, not only future arms sales, but also economic cooperation and even some unconventional military cooperation! If your country cannot solve the South Asian issue in a short period of time, we can even do it for you!"

"It seems that you have done a very good job in your homework." Asquith said helplessly.

"Thank you for your praise. After all, our talks determine the fate of the two countries. We must be cautious on this issue." Kikujiro Ishii said with a smile.

"Okay, let's talk about these parts first. The British Empire's overseas supplies issue." Asquith: "As long as the price is reasonable, and if we leave a certain amount of supplies for local British troops to use, we can sell all the remaining ones to your country. The prices and materials catalogs will be listed to you later."

"Okay, we will select the products we need." Kikujiro Ishii nodded and said.

"I suggest that your country should accept all the supplies, as this will be beneficial," said Asquith.

"Accept all of them? Including rifles and bullets produced in the 1980s? What are you kidding? Let the Japanese Empire help deal with garbage? Even if you dispose of discarded ammunition, you should give us some processing funds!" Kikujiro Ishii said dissatisfiedly.

"Even if it was the rifles from the last century, the British Empire had always maintained these weapons well, and they could still play their role. As the head of the military production of the British Empire who had experienced a full-scale war, I can say with responsibility that your country currently has not enough weapons. On huge islands such as Guinea, large-scale six wars are inevitable. The consumption of materials and ammunition will be very terrifying. Moreover, because of the blockade of the naval forces of the United States and Germany, once the war begins, it is difficult for materials to be transported. Therefore, it is always good to prepare some in advance. Although I don't know how your general staff of the country formulates a war plan, I can say with responsibility that the actual needs of the battlefield will definitely be much more than what you plan!"

"And you should be very clear about one thing. In this war, we still used a lot of weapons from the last century, such as a large number of 6-pound cannons, 12-pound cannons, etc., so I think your country needs to buy these things. Of course, considering the depreciation of equipment, these products will be cheaper. They will be much cheaper than your country's newly built rifles and are much easier to use. In 1895, we produced the Lee Enfield rifle better than your country's Type 38 rifle and have stronger firepower! However, the price is cheaper. Isn't this a good business? Your country's limited industry can be used in other more important aspects." Lloyd George said slowly.

"I never thought anyone could speak so politely about forced buying and selling!" After hearing Lloyd George's words, Kikujiro Ishii cursed the greed and shamelessness of the British in his heart!

In the eyes of the Japanese, this was completely a British move to dump the inventory. He took advantage of this opportunity to pack and sell weapons that had been in the warehouse for countless years. In his opinion, what did the Japanese need? What they needed was British motivation, artillery, ships and various high-tech equipment. As a result, what the British did first was to let Japan take back a pile of rags, and what they said was so serious, it really opened my eyes to Kikujiro Ishii!

However, it is wrong to say that the British are nonsense, because according to the reaction of the Japanese army in Europe, the British Li Enfield rifle is easier to use than the 38 gun. Although the former was designed and finalized in 1895, the 38 rifle was established by Japan after the Russo-Japanese War... And the British also said that the old goods were dealt with at a discount, which is really cheaper than the 38 guns newly produced by the Japanese.

Well, thinking of this, Kikujiro Ishii couldn't help but say that it was so delicious... Of course, Ishii, who had made up for military classes before coming, understood very well that guns might be cheap, but bullets were not cheap. Moreover, after buying a large number of British guns, they had to buy terrifying amounts of ammunition, which was trapped! Because the British would not change their caliber!

According to the general idea, the Japanese should decisively refuse at this time. But Kikujiro Ishii understands very well that if the British are blocked on this issue, then it may not be so easy to make progress in the matters that the Japanese are concerned about. The fundamental interests of both sides are consistent, and negotiations pursue maximization of interests, rather than being petty! Otherwise, it is easy to fall into a deadlock.

"Maybe buying some old goods in moderation will also help relieve our pressure, but we still have to ensure that these products are what we need, and your country must ensure quality! On this issue, I can give your country a limit of 20,000 pounds to help your country handle some old goods from the last century, well, that's it." Kikujiro Ishii said. This answer can be described as polite and polite, which meets the requirements of the British to a certain extent, but at the same time limit the purchase volume. The number of 20,000 pounds is just right. It is not too much for a country, but not too little. The British cannot say anything.

The Japanese took a step back and then needed to go further!

"The quantity and quality of aviation motors your country currently provides us with is seriously insufficient. We need the latest eagle-style motors produced by Reus Rolls, and the quantity must be increased by at least 3 times! We also need a large number of accessories and maintenance equipment. Your country's liquid cooling motors have very good performance, but they are not suitable for use in tropical areas. So, if possible, I hope your country will adjust and modify the motivations exported to our country." Kikujiro Ishii said the issue that Japan is most concerned about - aviation motivation!
