Chapter 934: Changes in the World War

"What do you mean, is the so-called agreement between China and Japan just an illusion?" Colonel Philip asked immediately.

"You can think so, but I hope Germany will not be too worried. As an ally, the Republic of China will definitely follow the alliance relationship and the plans formulated before. However, I don't know if there is any question about the aid issues negotiated with your country a few months ago. As for the current situation, this is still what we care about the most." Wu Shaoting mentioned this matter by the way.

Colonel Philip thought for a while and was a little confused about Wu Shaoting's words just now. He didn't know whether "you can think so" was considered perfunctory. As for China's request for further assistance from Germany, there is not room for negotiation. After all, the current combat in France is gradually gaining advantages, and the morale of the Allied camp is greatly improved. But whether to provide this assistance depends on your country's performance in the Allied camp.

"Hisser of the Head, I hope you can understand that the *** conspirators' assassination on you is not only about the decisions within the Allies camp, but also the influence on the reputation of the Republic of China. You may not know that the debate in the Western media on this matter has become increasingly fierce. Many people are saying that the new Republic of China is still as weak as the late Qing Dynasty. Do you want to hear such remarks?" After adjusting his attitude, Colonel Philip spoke again.

"These remarks are indeed a trouble for me, but this does not seem to be a problem that Germany needs to care about. I have already said just now that since I have already soldiered to the Northeast, and the *** is also constantly increasing its troops in North Korea, it is no longer a secret that the conflict between China and Japan has intensified. The agreement signed this time is just a thin layer of window paper. For me, I sold this layer of window paper to *** for 80 million yen; for ***, they spent 80 million yen for a short period of peace. The whole thing is so simple. Do you need me to say it more clearly?" Wu Shaoting said in a heavy tone. Sometimes he appreciates the persistence of the Germans, but sometimes he feels that this persistence is too stubborn.

"But is this meaningful? The so-called 80 million yen is not only a breath of ***, but also a sharp decline in the reputation of the Republic of China in the international community." Colonel Philip emphasized seriously.

"I have already talked to you before. If you Germany is willing to provide sufficient funds to start a war, then will the genius sign a joint statement with them at this time! That's right, the power of the Republic of China has been rising significantly over the years, but the country is still a backward agricultural country, without a huge industry, and without a strong national foundation. Colonel Philip, do you know how much resources we consumed in the first northern army from Beijing, Rehe and Tianjin to the three northeastern provinces?" Wu Shaoting said with a sarcasm. Of course, this explanation is just to leverage the power to fight. Although China is backward, the funds for the war with the people have already begun to prepare at the beginning of the year. At this time, it is just to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. On the other hand, it is also his approach to keeping a distance against Germany.

Colonel Philip fell into silence again, and seemed to be unable to make up his mind for a moment.

"What do you plan to do next if you follow the plan of the Head of State?" After pausing for a while, he asked Wu Shaoting again. Judging from the change in expression, he seemed to believe what Wu Shaoting just explained.

"The next step I will try every means to take back the Lushun Concession through diplomacy. Once the Lushun Concession is successfully recovered, our Chinese team will solve all worries. At that time, we only need to concentrate all resources on the Sino-North Korea border. Of course, before the official war begins, I will reorganize the Chinese government's delegation to enter the Qingdao headquarters to coordinate with you all matters in the war between China and Japan." Wu Shaoting said solemnly. He did not intend to make his plan too subtle. At this time, there is no need to re-show the Sino-Japanese conflict.

"I understand that although the news you think needs further assistance from our German Empire is not within my jurisdiction, I will convey it to Mr. Xinci as soon as possible. If the Republic of China can truly implement the plan of the Far East Strategy and the sneak attacks against Britain, Russia and France in Asia, I believe that the assistance will not be too difficult." Colonel Philip said calmly, his face did not change at all when he said this, and he could not see that this was a short promise.

"Is that true? Germany really has a budget for foreign aid?" Wu Shaoting said half-believingly.

"This is unquestionable, because we have made a very important breakthrough in the war in France, and the advantages of the entire battlefield have gradually been grasped by the Allied forces." Colonel Philip said with his head nodded, with a little pride on his face.

"A major breakthrough?" Wu Shaoting murmured with his eyes narrowed. He thought Philip was just saying something about the official side. Even if he was defeated on the battlefield, he would claim to be sure of victory. This is the usual practice of international powers.

"You probably haven't received the news yet. Even I received the encrypted telegram before leaving for the north." Colonel Philip said with a smile as he looked at Wu Shaoting's expression.

"It's really the latest news? I only heard that you won the battle with Shambani in Aduwa." Wu Shaoting said.

"You are right, but what you should have heard of is the previous news. At that time, the British and French forces launched a counterattack in an attempt to recapture the French railway important hub, and then our German army successfully cracked their offensive. And the latest news I received was that in mid-last month, the German army took advantage of the failure of the British and French forces to launch another large attack, successfully breaking the front line to the south bank of the Marne River, not only forcing the main force of the British and French forces to retreat thirty kilometers southwest of Aduwa, but also heavily hit the logistics transportation line of the French troops stationed in Verdun." Colonel Philip said vividly.

"A big victory? Has Marenhe been broken?" Wu Shaoting took a breath of air conditioning.

"Yes, we used the latest air strike technology in this battle, including concentrated airship bombing and fighter jet plundering tactics. The air force input into combat has caused considerable trouble to the enemy's logistics, thus weakening the combat effectiveness of the frontal defensive forces, which has made our army troops break in smoothly." Colonel Philip said seriously.

Wu Shaoting nodded slowly. It turned out that the investment of new technology changed the entire battlefield. It seemed that not only the history of the Republic of China had changed, but the history of the entire world was fluctuated accordingly. He didn't know if this was a good thing, but at least Germany had gained an advantage on the battlefield and would definitely have more impact on the Far East. At the same time, it would be very beneficial to China at this time.

"By the way," Colonel Philip continued, "It is precisely because of the latest air force equipment opened by the Sino-German Zhang Shengting Ordnance Company that our combat achieved unexpected results. Therefore, in early April, the Military Commission had decided to raise 1 million pounds from the Sino-German Ordnance Company. At that time, the units participating in the financing will not only be our major German banks, but also the Krupp Arsenal, the Mauser Arsenal, etc., but also contact several American ordnance companies. Once the negotiations are confirmed, more than five million US dollars of US funds will be introduced."

"Why haven't I heard of this? How come you plan to cooperate with the Americans?" Wu Shaoting asked strangely. He remembered that the United States had always been inclined toward the Allies in the position of World War I. The reason was that the United States purchased a large number of British war bonds before the war, and the British and French coalition forces were also the top customers of the US hot merchants.

"Of course, this matter is still being discussed. The situation on the European battlefield is gradually becoming more obvious. Our attitude towards the United States should have changed before. His Majesty William II believes that he has the confidence to win over the United States to stand in the camp of the allies. Once this matter develops further, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the Allies." Colonel Philip said.

Wu Shaoting thought in his mind: Did the Germans plan to use military power while using diplomatic means to deal with the Allies from the inside out? This is really a vicious method, but the United States is not a vegetarian. As the predictions made before, if the United States wants to change its previous attitude, they must gain more benefits in the future.
