After Su Xiong's two warships were injured, they could not return home. They are now lying in a bay in Africa and licking their wounds. Now there is no heavy oil on the streets of the Persian Gulf. They can only live with coal produced in which poor coal mine in Africa. And even coal is not enough. So far, each ship has only replenished more than 1 ooo tons of coal. This is really not enough for the Schanehorst brothers! This is the advantage of the British Empire.&1t;/p>
There is no effective maintenance, there are not enough supplies, and there are two other queens wandering around in the Indian Ocean to prepare for a final blow. In this case, it would be great that Su Xiong could hide. Who would dare to continue hunting those merchant ships? His two battleships are much higher than those merchant ships in terms of cost and strategic value! Therefore, when Su Xiong's fleet deliberately hides, the British simply didn't find Su Xiong... After all, the Indian Ocean is so big, where are you looking for?&1t;/p>
"Okay okay, don't explain it, let's talk about the serious matter first. Major General Thomas is responsible for the Indian Ocean. You should urge him to move faster." Asquith's expression was defeated.&1t;/p>
"Okay, no problem." But unlike the Prime Minister, Churchill is thinking about it now, and he is trying to let Thomas come back to keep the house. It is not that he continues to play hide-and-seek with Su Xiong in the Indian Ocean. The temptation to kill Su Xiong's fleet is great, but the situation at home is even more worrying Churchill! Who knows how long it will take to kill Su Xiong's fleet? Good luck, maybe the telegram of victory tonight will come, and then the top leaders of the Navy were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night and couldn't drink rum! If they were not lucky, it would be impossible to wait for a few months, who knows!&1t;/p>
What should I do when I encounter something like solving it but don’t have enough time and manager? Of course, I will leave and do more important things and subcontract this to others! Anyone who has been playing finance knows that what is going on with less than a variety of financial products and packaging divisions? It’s because of this!&1t;/p>
"We have a lot of differences with the Japanese now. On the one hand, I think the Japanese ask for a price is too high, and on the other hand, the Japanese give too little, and the expectations of the two sides are very different. We are working hard, but it is hard to say how long it will take to produce results." Xiang Asquith said helplessly.&1t;/p>
"Damn it! This matter has been discussed before the war. It has been more than two years since it started? Haven't it been discussed yet?" Churchill knew some inside information. As the world's largest empire, the strategic level of the British Empire is absolutely powerful. Even after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, Britain has already valued the younger brothers whom it supports. In order to deal with the war with Germany, the British naturally had already made preparations. If the negotiation time was included in the previous preparation, it would be longer than Churchill knew, but until now, the two sides have not reached an agreement!&1t;/p>
"If Japan wants us to acknowledge the German islands they occupied, this is not unwilling to agree. Although the strategic locations of these islands are indeed important." Churchill said, touching his chin. Then he saw the Prime Minister sitting in the main seat looking at him with a strange look... Churchill felt a little faint...&1t;/p>
"If it were just this condition, we would agree on the spot. The Japanese have a big appetite and a very big one! Until now, we don't know what the Japanese's trump card is. They are like a group of wolf dogs, greedy! Sitting in the Far East and watching us coldly, then waiting for our offer!" Asquis said, shaking his head, his tone full of dissatisfaction with the Japanese.&1t;/p>
Originally, the British were not satisfied with Japan's occupation of some German islands, because the location of these islands was too important, which allowed the Japanese Navy's base system to advance thousands of nautical miles south and east! It was even almost the Central Pacific Ocean, reaching the border of Australia, and close to the Dutch East India. Now everyone is an allies and is naturally easy to talk to.&1t;/p>
However, the British had to consider the security of their colonies and their interests in the Pacific. Japan controlled these places, and then it would be the overlord of the entire Western Pacific. Even if the war ended, the declining British Empire would definitely not be able to compete with Japan in the Far East. This was not because of insufficient combat effectiveness, but because of the empty wallet... So the British were very dissatisfied with Japan's actions!&1t;/p>
But what the British never expected was that when the British senior management held n meetings and fought many times in the venue, they finally agreed to admit that Japan occupied these islands and was preparing to exchange for Japan's support, the Japanese actually disagreed! This is something that has never been done in the history of the British Empire for hundreds of years! A small country does not buy the face of the British Empire in such a way!&1t;/p>
However, the Japanese disagree, and the British Empire had no choice. As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the roof. Nowadays, Japan is also an important country in the Far East. With the current situation of the British Empire, it is indeed impossible to deal with Japan... What's more, it's asking for Japan now. Not only the navy, but also the 6th Army needs a large amount of cannon fodder!&1t;/p>
The Japanese Empire was very generous to the cannon fodder of the 6th Army. Anyway, the British controlled food, accommodation, weapons and training, and even freight costs were paid by the British. An elite soldier was more than 50 pounds! This is a lot of money! A division of red deer can bring up a fearless ship. Besides, Japan is really crowded, so it doesn't matter if it throws a little! But for the navy? The Japanese government adheres to the principle of "never destroy warships"!&1t;/p>
Of course, the more important reason is that the Japanese believe that the offer of the British Empire was not sincere enough! The Japanese thought it very clearly that although if the Allies did not win, all of these islands would have to be spit out. This is indeed a problem for Japan, but at most it is far-sightedness and not a close worry! Now that Britain is in a war and is at a critical moment of life and death, you are simply admitting it is like letting Japan work hard? What are you thinking? How can you do such a good thing in the world?&1t;/p>
Look at how cruel the German fleet is! His two fearless ships were reimbursed in minutes. Thomas brought the cruelest queens of the British Empire to find a place, but it was useless. If the Japanese Navy went up, the German Navy might make a little thrust, and Japan would sink a main battleship! What a great risk!&1t;/p>
Moreover, the Japanese also vaguely realized that if the Germans fought more beautifully this time, then Japan might gain greater benefits! Even if a German colony is lost, it can still be considered a big profit!&1t;/p>
