Kitisho Toyhara got up very early this day. He has been in Beijing for nearly four years as ambassador to China. Perhaps the cabinet is very satisfied with his work in China, and the ambassador has not been replaced in the long four years. However, it is also possible that the European war has not ended and various cooperation projects between China and Japan have not ended. The cabinet is concerned about starting and ending, hoping that he can properly complete those crucial cooperation. When the situation is settled, it is time for him to be transferred from Beijing.

However, the European war that affected the Sino-Japanese joint venture did not seem to be over soon as people imagined. Since the German army miraculously captured Paris and encircled and annihilated 300,000 French troops the day before yesterday, the situation began to become confusing. The German army with superior forces had obviously gained the initiative in the Western European battlefield. Although the Allies all expressed their intention to continue the war, once the German army won again and France collapsed, the war might not be necessary to continue.

With the perspective of the military asider of the Binhara Kishiro, the most important thing for the Allies to win is to establish a new line of defense and curb the German army's larger-scale attack. If this condition cannot be achieved, the French army will likely lose its fighting spirit and gradually collapse in the continuous retreat. The collapse of the French army means that the European war will be completely over and Germany will eventually win. This result is disastrous for any Allies.

"Your Excellency, the time is up." The secretary reminded Biyuan that he would go to the Prime Minister's Office to meet Yang Rui when he got up so early.

"I understand." Kittori put down the coffee in the cup. In order not to make the smell of coffee in his tone when he talks later, he specially rinsed his mouth with water before going out.

Most of the high walls, posts and military camps around Min Lane in the east suburbs were demolished, and only the American Embassy in the southwest corner still retained these things. From the Embassy in China to the Prime Minister's Office, you must pass through the American Embassy and the Mid-Battle, and then you can pass through the Chess Street in front of the Ming Gate to reach Xicheng. Looking at the American soldiers showing off their might on the high walls of the American Barracks outside the embassy area, the currency was originally indescribable, and he hoped that the negotiations between China and America would never be reached.

With this kind of bad taste, Biyuan was welcomed into the flower hall when he arrived at the Prime Minister's Office and asked to wait for an hour. Only after a while did Li Zilong, known as the steward of the Prime Minister's Office, take him to Yin'an Hall to meet Yang Rui. After some polite etiquette, Yang Rui, who was deeply tired, greeted: "Sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I dare not, I dare not!" After Kittori Kittori smiled at Xie Zhangtai sitting on the side of Yang Ruishu's desk, he replied politely.

"It is important that our two countries are as close as brothers. There is no need to say more nonsense." Yang Rui had long been accustomed to empty words and used brothers to call each other as soon as he opened his mouth. The Japanese smiled all over his face. "Now that the situation in Europe has changed drastically, we should have a unified position and a united external attitude."

Yang Rui only raised his head. Xie Zhangtai next to him immediately added: "If the Allies are defeated, in terms of losses, Britain and France will be the most serious, followed by the United States and the two countries are more expensive. Although it is not suitable for them to ask for a lot of prices at this time, there will be no store after passing through this village. I think we should think about it carefully and get more benefits while promising to fight the war."

After saying that, Xie Zhangtai looked at the Japanese and smiled, and said, "At least, the German New Guinea and those islands you occupy must be recognized by the Allied countries; and the grasslands we occupy in Central Asia. They should be endorsed and recognized by the Allied countries."

"Ah." Bihara Kittoro didn't expect Yang Rui to come by himself yesterday. It was for this matter. He glanced at Yang Rui and Xie Zhangtai and said understandably: "It is true. There is also the loss of land in the Northeast region of your country. Allied countries should also admit it in writing immediately."

The New Japan in Central Asia compensates the Northeast. Even if the land in the west is so large, Biyuan still feels a little sad when talking about the Northeast. According to the previous plan of the elders, it is best to obtain the Russian Far East land around the Sea of ​​Japan, and he doesn't want to be pulled by China. He ran thousands of miles away to create a new Japan. Although the place is large, everything is subject to others and he has to face Chilu. I really don't know if this business is profitable and loss.

Seeing that the money was originally rewarded, Yang Rui nodded silently and said, "There are many overseas Chinese in Nanyang and other places, and these overseas Chinese have also made a lot of efforts for the country. Therefore, the local white governors in Nanyang and other places should collect any more poll taxes and discriminate against them. Our country is not only unhappy. There are overseas Chinese in Nanyang and there are also overseas Chinese in the Americas, especially the United States. Americans not only prohibit Chinese from entering the country, but also often discriminate against existing Chinese in China. These are the current situation that our country wants to improve. Also, I need your country's full support for negotiations on the United States and revisionism; finally, it is Persia. Our country helped Persia to get back such a large area of ​​land, and the remuneration is always required, so all countries should recognize that our country has the privilege of mining and road construction in the north of Persia. Of course, we will first obtain the consent of the Persian king."

Yang Rui said four points in one breath. Although these are four points, each one weighs more than ten thousand pounds, making the original waist bend deeper and deeper. What is this? Because China and Japan are brothers and are consistent with the outside world, as long as it is needed by China, it is supported by Japan. Japan is gradually losing its diplomatic integrity and slowly moving closer to China. When Britain notified Japan, in order to prompt China to send troops to Europe and would form an alliance with China, all the knowledgeable people knew very well that the East Asian hegemony would no longer be Japan, but China. But so soon Japan's diplomacy must be consistent with China, especially to support its resolution of the overseas Chinese in the United States from a Chinese standpoint. This statement that would cause conflict between Japan and Europe made Biyuan feel extremely uneasy. The land in Central Asia is really not so easy to take.

"Your Excellency, these four points will definitely pass on your opinion to our domestic cabinet." Kitawara Kitto said with a hard temper.

"This is more than four." Yang Rui patted the documents on the book and added: "This is twenty-one." Seeing that Kittoro was wiping sweat, he smiled and said, "It's all small conditions, and there's nothing difficult. After all, it's still that our two countries have risen too late, and the good places are all occupied by white people. When it's our turn, there will be no waste left."

The documents in Yang Rui's hand were transferred by Xie Zhangtai. Jigero Bihara glanced at him and found that as Yang Rui said, compared with the previous few, the latter were not scary conditions. Most of them were supplementary clauses that China and other countries failed to perfectly improve after the amendment of the contract last year. In addition, some overseas minerals require the British, French and other countries to allow Chinese institutions to mine. Some of them, such as rubber, tin ore in Southeast Asia, and oil in Myanmar, were understandable by Bihara, but others, such as Indian monolith and German West African uranium, were uranium ore.

"I understand, this document will be sent to China today." Minerals were jointly organized by China and Japan. Therefore, the other coins in the document were not only not opposed but also very supportive. With such joy, he added happily: "My country must advance and retreat with Greater China on these issues, and have the same position!"

"That's good!" Yang Rui smiled, looking at the Japanese who had been standing and bent down. He said kindly: "Your Maiyuan should not stand and talk. Drink tea, drink tea. This is the newly launched West Lake Longjing this year. Come and try it."

He had been talking for a while, and the tea was warm. After taking a sip of it, Kittori Kittori, he only called out the good tea if he didn't understand it. Yang Rui smiled but didn't say anything, and just chatted: "It is reported that your country's navy has begun to build ships on a large scale..."

"That's right." As soon as Yang Rui spoke, Biyuan sat upright again, looking at listening with a look of scrutiny. "Since the financial support of the shipping company, the Navy has abandoned the Congress and started building ships by itself. However, this is just a 300 million yen shipbuilding plan, not the 88 Fleet plan that the Navy has always expected."

With the close relationship between China and Japan, the top-secret shipbuilding plans such as the 86th Fleet Case and the 88th Fleet Case also depended on the Benxi Steel Plant for shipbuilding. The Japanese side had to disclose that because the secret agreement between China and Japan and the steel for shipbuilding depended on the Benxi Steel Plant. Yang Rui did not object to Japanese man-made ships. The more ships Japan built, the more taboo the United States was about to it, and the close relations between China and Japan were close. This was another plan besides asking the Japanese Navy to escort the wartime merchant fleet. Although the Japanese Navy is now so arrogant and waiting for the battleships to be eliminated, when the aircraft carrier is in power, the Japanese Navy will become a vassal of the Chinese aircraft carrier formation.

"Are these newly built warships designed at the lowest speed of thirty knots?" Yang Rui asked with a smile. He almost said: Your ship cannot be too slow, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with my aircraft carrier.

"Yes, the designer has reproduced the design. Some main ships that cannot reach the speed of 30 knots for the time being have also reserved space to increase the boiler and increase the speed in the future." Kitisho Toyhara replied solemnly. He could not have thought that Yang Rui was concerned about the design speed of the warship, not the threat posed by the expansion of the Japanese navy to China's coastal cities. Seeing that Yang Rui did not mention the threat, he pressed not to mention it, but just remembered another thing. He said: "Your Excellency, the two aircraft and motherships that your country has customized will be delivered by the end of the year."

"It's not a problem, it's just a training ship." Yang Rui said indifferently. The two aircraft carriers have been built for more than two years. Because skilled workers need to be drawn to build standard wartime ships, the delivery speed has to be frequently postponed. However, since it has been decided to cancel the unequal treaty by sending troops to Europe, it is not a problem when these two aircraft carriers will be delivered. "my country itself also needs to build four aircraft carriers of the same type with similar tonnage. You can also tell your domestic cabinet this time."

The previous plan was that Japan would help build two ships and build one or two ships by itself. With the existing Shenwu, there would be up to five aircraft carriers. But that was based on a plan to make a profit of 20 to 30 billion yuan in wartime. Now that it has money, it seems that time is enough. Yang Rui doesn't mind adding two ships. It won't be said whether the design is reasonable or not, but after these four aircraft carriers are built, from the design team to the construction team, they will become qualified. These experienced people are extremely valuable.

When Yang Rui mentioned four ships, Kittori was surprised. He remembered that he had said before that China built two ships himself. He didn't expect that the number now doubled. He had to ask: "Your Excellency, do you always build that kind of aircraft mothership?"

"Of course!" Yang Rui nodded, "I don't like battleships, they are too heavy, too expensive and too slow. Besides, my country builds aircraft and motherships, your country builds battleships, and battle cruisers. Isn't this a good match for joint combat? I have no choice. The elm-wood in your navy is not good at it, and they won't build aircraft carriers even if they die. After all, they are willing to build one and try it. It's so stingy."

Everyone in the world knows that aircraft carriers that are not useful are the favorites of His Excellency Yang Rui. Even if the new and old navy generals jointly wrote a letter to build one or two battleships, the General Staff Navy Office, instructed by Yang Rui, was still indifferent and continued to ask the Ship Design Institute to design aircraft carriers, and with the aircraft carrier as the center of attention, design heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers and supply ships that match them.

This strange idea of ​​building a ship is fine if the Chinese Navy is harming the Chinese Navy, but it is going to sell it to the Japanese Navy. Although the two major staff members of the Navy agree with the combat philosophy of aircraft and motherships, the old people and veterans in the Navy did not buy it. The result of the negotiation was that the Japanese Navy built an aircraft carrier of more than 20,000 tons and tried it. This was the biggest concession. You must know that at the beginning, the Navy only agreed to build a small boat of more than 10,000 tons.

This is the case for the navy, but for the sake of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations, Kittohara Kitto stood in Yang Ruid's position with a smile: "There are too many elderly people in our navy. They will not agree with a better combat method until they see the actual results and suffer significant losses."

Biyuan laughed with Yang Rui seriously. He put down the teacup and sighed: "Naval ships will not take a year or two, but they will take ten or twenty years. If you don't look forward, if the war starts and then change it, it will be too late to create it again. Technology development changes the war model. Look at the Germans, isn't it just like we are going to deal with the Russians in the Northeast. So I made dumplings in Paris? This is the case with the army, and the navy. If the battleships were eliminated that day..."

As soon as Yang Rui said that the battleship was eliminated, the coinhara Kitto, who was drinking tea, choked violently. The tea was coughing out of his mouth and wet the entire front. "It's so rude." The Japanese stood up, and the ninja coughed and bowed.

Seeing him like this, Yang Rui smiled rather than angry: "I know, I am not from a navy, and many people are laughing at the Chinese Navy for only building aircraft carriers but not battleships..." He said this, and there seemed to be no interest in continuing to talk. He just said: "Okay, I've finished everything I should say. You should go back and notify your domestic cabinet earlier. Remember, this is not me alone, but our two countries are cracking the quarrel between Britain, France and the United States together. Don't sell our country privately."

"I dare not!" Kittori Hitro bowed, and after saying that, he asked again: "Your Excellency, can France really support it?"

The Japanese said this very meaningful thing. Yang Rui and Xie Zhangtai looked at each other and smiled, "What do you want to do?"

"I..." Kishiro Bihara looked at Yang Rui. He looked at Xie Zhangtai again. It was really hard to continue. After all, many things can only be understood but not expressed in words.

"Don't you, me," Yang Rui said: "If the French surrender to Germany, then we will go out to the navy and the other will go out to the army and fight him hard. As for the result, can we cut it with a knife in half?"

When Yang Rui said halfway, the Japanese held back and didn't nod. Yang Rui understood that he was not satisfied with the 50% stake, so he had to say again: "You are six and I am four, so you can do it. South Vietnam is the essence. North Vietnam is a barren mountain and ridge."

"Your Excellency, I try my best to convince the cabinet with this condition. The key to snatching Indochina is the navy..." Seeing that Yang Rui made a concession, it would be very impolite if he didn't make any statement. However, he was not very satisfied with the conditions, so he had to push the matter to the cabinet. "I will definitely find a way to convince them." He said at the end.

"This Japanese is really greedy and not enough to swallow an elephant." As soon as Kittoro Toyhara left, Xie Zhangtai shook his head and said. "Central Asia occupies such a large piece of land, but it's not enough."

"No matter how big the land in Central Asia is, it is not by the sea. Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, it will have to cross our roads. It won't make much money. Vietnam is different. The land is fertile, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and it also controls the routes along the Indian Ocean. It is much better than North Korea. If this place is not a tiger's nest, we should also snatch it from France." Yang Rui said, very regretful.

"We? Take it off?" Xie Zhangtai was surprised, and said, "If we really want to do this, it means that the politics you said is incorrect. Look at what we have done over the years? North Korea fought, not to mention helping the North Koreans restore the country, but all the tens of millions of military expenses they paid were given to Asia and whatever, saying that we should revitalize East Asian civilization in this way; the same goes for Central Asia, Shiva, Bukhara, Persia, and everyone benefits. We are almost the saviors mentioned by the Westerners. If Indochina is captured again, would you be embarrassed to annex him?"

It would be fine if Xie Zhangtai didn't say it, but if we really need to look at it carefully, China has done something thankless in recent years. In other words, Kazakhstan also occupied this place as the old Mongolian land. Foreign propaganda emphasized that China rescued local residents from the slavery of the brutal Tsar. The mass pits dug out in Qihe Province east of Lake Balkash are the best evidence for the brutal Tsar to persecute local indigenous people.

"It's time, so many places are not easy to grab." Yang Rui wiped his face. He spent a lot of energy discussing the quarrel with Xie Zhangtai these days. At the same time, how the situation in Europe will change, he also needs to listen to reports from the Expeditionary Force and the General Staff. The two things got together, which made him very tired these days.

"Where is Nanyang?" Since the topic has been mentioned here, Xie Zhangtai wants to know how Yang Rui planned to Nanyang in the end. "It's really hard to occupy there?"

"At present, we really can't occupy the Nanyang." Yang Rui said, "These twenty years are the time to rest and recuperate. Nanyang involves all the great powers. Even if the Philippines is not moved, the Americans will disrupt the situation. When we move to Nanyang, it is a time to be completely hostile to Europe and the United States. At that time, the colonial system is about to be finished, so what else can we occupy? The most important thing at the moment is to protect the rights and interests of overseas Chinese around the world. What is a country? Isn't it a gathering of the people? As long as overseas Chinese are not bullied, isn't it equivalent to the country there? I have always been proud and obeying the form, but some people are obsessed with the form and do not investigate the profound meaning, which really makes people...ah."

Yang Rui's last sentence was actually annoying Cai Yuanpei. The world is round and the truth is also round, but some people say that it is straight and cannot be straight. They have to believe that democracy is good and ** is bad. They don't even look at the background of the times and the current development status of the country. It would be fine if they were ordinary people, but they were a member of the Standing Committee who could determine the lifeline of the country and the nation, and the result would be tragic.

When the Dali Temple trial debate, the students' criminal behavior and criminal facts were restored bit by bit, and the cruel side of human nature was revealed one by one. The entire social public opinion condemned these students for "clear progress, but in fact they are beasts." Cai Yuanpei ignored the truth at all and believed that this was caused by the Ministry of Rites' intentional control of public opinion, which made everyone very dissatisfied.

Xie Zhangtai shook his head when he thought about Cai Yuanpei's affairs, but he didn't want to discuss Cai Yuanpei's affairs with Yang Rui privately, so he just changed the topic: "It turns out that the Japanese will stand with us and ask Britain and France not to agree to these twenty-one items?"

"Of course, they also have many benefits. At least German Asian colonies are occupied, and New Guinea is not small." Yang Rui said this and thought of the United States again, guessing: "If the British were really wise, this one would definitely agree."

"It turns out that Britain will instigate the conflict between Japan and the United States, and thus deepen the conflict between us and the United States?" Xie Zhangtai heard the news and asked immediately.

"That's true. Anyone in Europe will continue to fight. Once the French surrender to Germany, then the three participating countries will immediately support another puppet government and dismember his colony. So, as long as the French have a brain, they will never negotiate with Germany." Yang Rui said, "The victory of the war is expected, and it will have many benefits to us, that is, Britain and France will delay it for another year, and the weakening will be even more powerful."

"But the Germans occupied Paris, and the factories in the western suburbs of Paris all belonged to Germany. It is said that there were still thousands of half-decade Renault light tanks seized by them. This battle would really end in a year?" Xie Zhangtai said with some confusion. The victory of the German army was entirely due to the large-scale use of armored tanks. Seeing the intelligence that the German army seized thousands of French tanks, he was a little confused even though he had always believed in Yang Rui's judgment.

"It was indeed an accident that Renault's tanks were captured." Yang Rui shook his head and admitted that he had ignored this before. He had never been to France and had no idea that Paris was completely an industrial city at this time. During the war, more than half of the French army's military equipment and ammunition were produced in the suburbs of Paris, and several automobile companies were all together. After the Germans occupied Paris, they really made a fortune. Correspondingly, the French army basically lost military supply capacity after this battle, and even the US artillery that relied on French artillery was short of equipment on a large scale.
