"Mr. Prime Minister, your words are a bit overwhelming. Although your country is our ally, the empire's affairs cannot be criticized by outsiders. Whether it is the Northern Line against Russia or the Southern Line, the empire has shed too much blood and paid too much price. We have paid so much today, so we will never give up easily. We will pay more in the future to protect our results!" Kikujiro Ishii said sternly.

Some people may ask why the British chose to persuade Japan to stop its offensive against Russia at this time? The reason is very simple. The European continent is too small to accommodate the two major powers of Germany and Russia at the same time! Russia's failure this time does not mean that there is no chance of a turnaround. The Allied Power system has collapsed, but it does not mean that Britain will give up establishing friendly relations with the new Russian regime in order to join forces again in a future war! Therefore, in this case, Britain naturally does not want the Japanese to gain a foothold and cause trouble for the new Russian country in the Far East.

If you want to go into more detail, it is that the British government wants to establish connections with Russia's Kolchak through the Japanese line and try to establish a government by helping the latter. After all, Kolchak is more suitable for the requirements of the British in terms of experience and political orientation! Of course, this is the highest goal. In fact, it is not easy to allow the Japanese to limit their attack on Russia now and to retreat appropriately.

"I cannot agree to your side for this matter. This is beyond the scope of our negotiations. My talks with you only involve the relationship and cooperation between Britain and Japan, and do not involve third parties. And I need to remind you that in this world, in addition to the United Kingdom, the engines of the French and Italians are actually worth making do with them. The French also need to cut a lot of arms. Since the Germans do not interfere with your country's export of arms to us, they will naturally not interfere with the French. Do you think this is the case?" Kikujiro Ishii said firmly.

"It seems that it is difficult for us to reach an agreement on this issue?" Prime Minister Asquith said with some regret.

"It's not just this issue, but we can't reach an agreement on India's issue. The Japanese Empire cannot work for your country for free. The chips in your hands are not enough to make the Japanese Empire submit." Taking advantage of the relaxation of the British attitude, Kikujiro Ishii wanted to continue to work hard, continue to fight back, and regain the situation in his own hands. However, what the Japanese can think of, the British can naturally think of! Faced with the Japanese's counterattack, the British have been fully prepared.

"French? If it is a simple aircraft engine, the French can indeed provide some. Although their products are at most midstream in the British Empire, they are already advanced enough for your country." Asquith said with thorns. Kikujiro Ishii's expression opposite also had a weak expression, as if he was very calm.

"But there are some things that the French cannot provide to your country in the end. As the most technologically developed country in the world, some things are unique, and these things play a decisive role in your country's fate. In this regard, we still have an absolute advantage! For example, v1500, such as aircraft carriers! Do you know what I mean?" Prime Minister Asquith said.

"This... is indeed the case." A drop of cold sweat fell from Kikujiro Ishii's head. In the vast Pacific combat, large bombers are indispensable. Their strong endurance and attack power are irreplaceable in terms of attack and battlefield reconnaissance. These things may not be required in too many ways, but there are and do not. The status of v1500 in Battle 1 is equivalent to b29 in Battle 2!

And how many countries in the world can mass-produce heavy bombers and have a lot of experience in using it? But there are only two, one is the UK and the other is Germany! Considering that Germany cannot export too sensitive K8 bombers to Japan, if the Japanese want to make up for the shortcomings in long-range reconnaissance and attack, they can only find British people, neither French nor Italians! What? You say Russian Ilia bombers? Although this thing is a 4-round bomber, its weight is only equivalent to the British FB27 level, so forget it.

Compared with history, Japan in this plane was stronger, and the coverage of local and colonial areas was larger. Whether from the ambitions of the Japanese Navy or from an objective perspective, the Japanese did need large aircraft like the V1500. But before that, the Japanese had almost zero technology and experience!

If the Japanese gritted their teeth and said that they could not afford to play, they would not play it, but aircraft carriers really can't just forget it! As a newly emerging main ship, the performance of the German aircraft carrier detachment in the Norwegian naval battle can be described as shining! It is precisely because of the explosive attack of carrier-based aircraft that the British fleet collapsed in a very short time! The British fleet could not withstand the attack. Can the Japanese Navy withstand the outbreak? So, no matter how difficult it is, the Japanese Navy must develop its own aviation targets and develop a complete set of tactics!

To be honest, it is not too difficult to build an aircraft carrier in this era, and it is not difficult to equip a full carrier-based aircraft. After all, the biplane performance of this era is generally good... It is rare to build well and have its own tactical system, which requires time and war accumulation! So good, in this era, who are the pioneers of sea-based aviation? In fact, there are 2 and a half countries in total!

Germany is naturally the strongest. They used absolutely overwhelming aviation power to deal with the British fleet in the Norwegian naval battle. The second is Britain! Although the British took many detours, their understanding was relatively accurate at the last moment! Before the war, they fully realized the importance of large-scale concentrated use of carrier-based aircraft. Of course, this last-minute epiphany did not sublimate into actual combat power! The British did not have the time or strength to complete the final sublimation of their aircraft carrier fleet! To put it in a more fantasy statement, that is, the realm has reached!

As for the remaining half? It is naturally the US Navy! After all, there were US Navy observers in all the wars in the late German Navy. And according to the Japanese intelligence, in the final decisive battle of the Norwegian Sea, the Americans actually sent an aircraft carrier to fight. Of course, because of the number of aircraft carriers, they mainly undertake air defense tasks and did not perform attack tasks. So the US Navy is half, which is a type that has been used on the battlefield and has also been learned in theory, but it is still a little different from professionals!
