"Japan is really a crazy country. They actually beat the Americans at this time! Do they think we still don't have enough enemies?" British Asquis said with some disgust as he looked at the telegram he just sent. Almost on the day after the Japanese cabinet received the conflict between the United States and Japan in Bismarck, the British Embassy in Japan also received relevant information. The British Ambassador to Japan immediately reported to the country at this time, and the military officers to Japan began to collect information about the conflict.&1t;/p>

"But it seems that the Americans have no intention of taking action. If they want to do it, I'm afraid that all American newspapers will publish this matter now, and then a large number of Americans will take to the streets to demand that the US government declare war with Japan. Then their president will give a stern speech in the parliament. And now nothing is born. On the contrary, Americans are still deliberately concealing this matter." The Foreign Minister said.&1t;/p>

"That means, we don't have to worry about Americans reacting too aggressively?" asked Asquith.&1t;/p>

"In fact, all the major powers are involved in a world-wide war. We fight in Europe, Asia, and Africa. The destructive and lethality of this war has exceeded any previous war. The United States has taken a great advantage. They divide our market, snatch our raw materials, and help our enemies, gain a lot of benefits at a very small price. Participating in the war requires huge risks. Instead of doing so, it is better to reap profits." Lloyd George, who returned from Japan, said.&1t;/p>

The British wear a dress and are pirates, and they pick up swords and guns. But whether they are merchants or pirates, they need benefits when doing things. As Churchill said, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Americans will not participate in a tragic war because of a face or a conflict. Even if Germany loses, the United States may not choose a war. What is Germany? In the eyes of the Americans, it is just a partner of cooperation. Similarly, in the eyes of Ruprecht, the United States is also a potential enemy in addition to being a partner who can temporarily cooperate. So as long as nothing unexpected happens, the most likely choice for the United States this time is to settle the matter. It is best to exchange for some benefits.&1t;/p>

"In other words, we only need a step to make the Americans stop? Is that right?" Asquis said to himself. "Well, we can also make the Japanese owe a favor! Give up some concessions on the issue of the Dutch East India!" What is an allies? Sometimes allies can deliver their backs to each other, and sometimes allies are used to cheat! Especially when this "alliance" today may become tomorrow's "trouble", who do you cheat if you don't cheat?&1t;/p>

"We are obviously not suitable as a third country, and the French are not suitable, so I suggest that the Swiss or Italians can come forward to coordinate, and each side will take a step back and demarcate a non-armed area, and both sides will not build new fortifications and deploy troops on the newly occupied islands. The main warships will evacuate the disputed areas. Doing so will not only ease the conflict between the two countries, but also free up the Japanese fleet." Churchill thought for a while and said.&1t;/p>

"Then let's do it first. We can first mention the coordination of the third country with the Japanese, and then let's discuss with the Japanese the Dutch East India and the Japanese fleet entering the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean cucumber war." Asquith said.&1t;/p>

"By the way, I remember that our military officers in Japan have just sent a detailed information about the battle between the two sides of the fleets in the Battle of Bismarck. Can you tell me the views of your Admiralty?" After discussing the important matter, Asquis asked.&1t;/p>

"Col. Andrew Cunningham once went to Nagasaki Port to observe two Japanese main battleships. According to what he said, the Fuso was basically new. Although the American battleship hit the opponent more than once, they were all bounced away by heavy armor. Cunningham believed that the Fuso's defense was absolutely enough, and there would be no problem with the German 14-inch gun. The performance of the King Kong-class battlecruiser was much worse. The main armor belt and turret were penetrated, so the colonel believed that the British battleship was not suitable for attacking the battleships."&1t;/p>

"Well, okay, Fisher is in the midst of a shot again." Asquith said in his heart.&1t;/p>

"In terms of personnel quality, the Japanese Navy is obviously much higher. According to statistics from the Japanese Navy, they hit their opponents no less than 16 times in this battle! The two American warships only hit Japanese warships about 7 times at most. I think this data is reasonable. After all, based on the information from our warships in the Pacific, they even used miserable to describe the two American battleships after the war."&1t;/p>

"In the end, Colonel Cunningham gave an evaluation that if the Japanese Navy could conduct sufficient training before joining the war, then the combat quality was almost at the same level as the Royal Navy and could play an important role in both the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean." Churchill finally added.&1t;/p>

"Well, since that's the case, I hope the Japanese can fulfill their obligations as a member of the Allies as soon as possible." Asquith said.&1t;/p>

The British were still very quick. On the day after the meeting, the British ambassador to Japan sent a diplomatic note, asking Japan to "carefully handle" the Bismarck conflict, on the one hand, not to publicize the victory of the battle, and on the other hand, requiring the Japanese Navy to control the number of fleets in the South Pacific to lay the groundwork for the next ease of the situation.&1t;/p>

The next day, the British government made a request to Switzerland and Italy, hoping that these two countries could coordinate the relationship between the United States and Japan as third parties. On the fourth day, the Italian government expressed its willingness to serve as the coordinator. The Japanese ambassador to the United States contacted the U.S. government and expressed its position. After the U.S. government found a step, it gradually faded the impact of the Bismarck Battle.&1t;/p>

Things gradually moved towards a slump. The US fleet and the Japanese fleet retreated tacitly. Although they did not contact each other, it was obvious that the conflict had finally subsided fortifications. As for the later part, everyone did not repair fortifications and maintained restraint. It was hard to say whether they could do it.&1t;/p>

"Your Highness, this seems to be a pity. If the Americans can participate in the war, we may have reduced a lot of trouble, and the victory of the entire war is about to be around the corner." When the prince and his subordinates in Prague received the message, Kariput said with regret.&1t;/p>
