Chapter 863, Japan's determination

"I never believe that China has such strength. In the final analysis, they are still agricultural countries, and the entire country does not have the ability to go abroad to fight. Furthermore, we can reach an agreement with China to maintain neutrality on the condition of our support for Wu Shaoting's legal government." Zhu Erdian said immediately, but at this time his tone was obviously not as confident as before.

"It's ridiculous. We now have the advantage, but we still have to wag our tails and beg for mercy at the Chinese government? When the European war really reaches a very critical moment, do you really think Wu Shaoting will sit back and see the ready-made interests? I just think that if the above situation really happens, the task of dealing with China will fall on our Great Empire!!" Yuyuki Hamaguchi said more and more directly.

Juerdian and Kant looked bad, and Yuyuki Hamaguchi did say what they thought.

In fact, in the eyes of Westerners, Asians are backward and weak nations, both India and China, and even *** are just like this. For Juerdian, the original intention of winning over *** to join the Allies was to hope that *** could deal with the German garrison in Qingdao, and then send the navy to the European battlefield within its capacity. But now it seems that he obviously overestimated ***'s strength. Not to mention that he could not handle the Qingdao issue, the navy also suffered a heavy blow, which completely turned into disappointment for the hope of *** people directly intervening in the European battlefield.

If *** still has value on par with them now, then it is only the only way to beware of China.

Furthermore, when Zhu Erdian met with Wu Shaoting two months ago, he had already clearly formulated an Asian strategy, hoping to mobilize Asians to restrain Asians. Otherwise, the economic aid the UK has given to *** over the years would be like wasting waste.

Seeing the two sides in a stalemate and had not spoken much, the Russian Minister Kubenschi spoke again: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, don't forget that we are in the same camp now, and don't have internal conflicts over the affairs of outsiders."

Kant looked at the bearded Slav in front of him and asked calmly: "So, what suggestions do you have?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Cubanszie, who squirmed his beard and then said: "My suggestion is very simple. Since everyone has their own reasons and attitudes, a better way to eliminate the conflict between us is to take a step back. In fact, in my opinion, the threat of the Chinese people cannot be underestimated. Our intelligence personnel have already figured out the purpose of China's formation of the Northern Second Army in the northwest. This army was prepared to quell the rebellion of the ***. As for the Southern Second Army in Yunnan, although I am not sure, it is not difficult to guess that this army is always ready to attack *** and regain the *** rule."

Kant frowned and asked again, "What do you mean by saying that?"

Kubens laughed at the same time, spreading his hands and said, "My meaning is already obvious. China's current moves are affecting our interests in China. I think Wu Shaoting's so-called Chinese neutrality is to deceive us on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is to hope to maximize the recovery of national sovereignty while we are in trouble in Europe."

Yuyuki Hamaguchi glanced at Zhu Erdian and found that the other party was in a state of contemplation.

Kubenschi continued: "When we have the ability to teach the Chinese a lesson, we must not hesitate. Although we are indeed deeply affected by the difficulties on the European battlefield, the more we are, the more we should use the momentum of a great power to create a kind of pressure. What's more, it is during the National Assembly of the Republic of China. What the Chinese people are most worried about is the legitimacy of the Nanjing central government. We can make a big fuss on this point."

Hamaguchi Yuyuki immediately agreed, "That's right."

Kubenschi said again: "But we must also consider Mr. Jurden's concerns. After all, we can only do superficial work now, and there are very few places that can really pose a substantial threat to the Nanjing central government. So we still have to be careful about the means of pressure on dialogue."

Listening to the Russian minister's words, everyone felt that the bearded man had not mentioned the key point after all, and just smoothly persuaded the conflict between Britain, France and the ***.

At this moment, Takemoto Kohamaguchi's secretary, Yuyuki Hamaguchi, took the initiative to speak: "I think it makes sense for Mr. Kubenschi's words. Our great empire also needs a sufficient time to prepare to re-ensure the containment of China's economy, and then it will ensure the interests of European allies in Asia. During this period, we can use some diplomatic negotiations to first put verbally pressure on China first, and during this period, we can also ask China to ensure the security of the economy and the security issues of Qingdao as soon as possible."

Zhu Erdian squinted his eyes and looked at Takemoto Kokusa and asked, "You mean, as long as you help you get enough time, will you be sure to suppress China?"

Takemoto Kohamaki glanced at Yuyuki Hamaguchi, who took the speech and said, "That's right. At that time, we can launch armed sanctions against China in the name of the Entente Team as per the previous plan. At that time, we can not only force Wu Shaoting to make the Entente compromise, but also let him recognize the interests of ***, Outer Mongolia and Qingdao."

Zhu Erdian always felt that this conversation was going around and back to the origin, but this time, the reexamination of the China issue had a new basis, that is, the people promised to put enough pressure on China. Although his attitude towards the people after the Qingdao War was greatly reduced, it was precisely because the main battlefield in Europe became increasingly severe, and the threat hidden behind the scenes of China, only the ally of *** can help at the moment.

At this time, Kant stood up and walked to Juerdian, and the two of them whispered for a while.

"You should know that we just don't want to cause more trouble at this time. We try to deal with China's problems as low as possible. It's best to let China return to its previous state. However, what people are worried about may not be impossible, so we'd better think more." Kant said.

"I think so too. But the problem is that Wu Shaoting's influence in China is too great, and we cannot just blatantly deny his legal presidential identity. In other words, it is difficult for us to find a powerful alternative in China." Zhu Erdian sighed and said.

"You are right, Sun Yat-sen, Duan Qirui, Xiong Xiling, these people don't have real strength in their hands now. However, we can push everything on the *** people. What do you think?" Kant said mysteriously, with a cunning expression on his originally scheming face.

"Push all on the *** people?" Hearing this, Zhu Erdian couldn't help but glance at the two short yellow men sitting on the other side, "You mean, letting the *** people let go. If China can be successfully stopped, it is our common effort. If it fails, all the consequences will be pushed to the *** people?"

"That's right, they have always asked for a tough diplomacy against China, so naturally they have to bear the consequences. All we have to do now is to try to provoke Sino-Japanese relations and let the Chinese focus all on dealing with the threat of the country. Even if China and Japan are in a desperate situation, as long as it does not affect our interests of Britain and France in the Far East, this is our initial principle." Kant further said.

Juerdian thought Kant's words were very reasonable. In short, Britain and France are currently facing China, hoping to keep the same as possible and never touch on the interests of Britain and France in the Far East. If things start from this point, everything will naturally be easy. Let the people of *** make trouble. Anyway, *** cannot support the main battlefield of Europe now. Staying in Asia to defend the interests of the Allies in the Far East is a duty.

"Since that's the case, then we will do it like this. In short, we will first agree to the *** people's wishes, and then we will give more help in diplomacy with the Chinese." Zhu Erdian said immediately.

Subsequently, Juerdian and Kant discussed in detail the steps to put pressure on China and how to take military action to carry out substantial sanctions. In the following talks, Juerdian and Kant had almost no opinion, but just listened to Yuuki Hamaguchi talking about creating diplomatic pressure step by step on China, and then escalating from diplomatic pressure to military sanctions. As for Kubenschi, he still looked slippery and supported Yuuki Hamaguchi in his mouth, and even threatened to increase troops in the northeastern border areas of China. Even if he could not directly send troops, he could still attract support.

At the end of the conversation, Jurczá sighed helplessly and said, "Since Mr. Kubenschi and Mr. Hamaguchi are both inclined to continue to put pressure on China, the British Empire, as a military alliance, can only uphold the alliance and stand on the side of allies to support it. But I said that in the front, our request is very simple. It is best if we can really teach Wu Shaoting a lesson. If it doesn't work, then the country should bear the consequences themselves."

Kant nodded repeatedly and said, "I agree with Your Excellency Zhuerdian's meaning, but I also believe that the *** Covenant has such strength. In addition, in the early negotiations on the aftermath of Qingdao, I will definitely respond to the position of the *** country."

When Hamaguchi Yuki saw Juerdian, Kant decided to change his mind and maintain his original attitude towards China. He finally felt a little relaxed. However, he could also see that since Westerners have a desire to change, they will only provide momentum assistance in the future Sino-Japanese conflict, and they will take a wait-and-see attitude. However, all he can do is this. After all, everyone knows the situation in Europe, and these Westerners are almost unable to protect themselves.

The talks ended at about 9:30 in the middle of the night. The late spring night was very cold. When everyone left the embassy building, they couldn't help but tighten their necks and quickly got into their car.

After the car started, Takemoto Kokuha said to Hamaguchi Yuyuki with a serious expression: "Mr. Minister, although the foreigners agree to our plan, they obviously will not provide sufficient support."

Yuyu Hamaguchi sighed and said with a worried look: "I know that Westerners have now insisted on one thing, that is, they hope that Asia will maintain its current state as long as their interests are not damaged. However, at least they will still support us to a certain extent. As long as we can get back the situation and put enough pressure on China to let Westerners see profitability, only in this way will they have more confidence in us."

Takemoto Kokuha said solemnly: "It seems that the bets for the Sino-Japanese conflict are getting bigger and bigger."
