Chapter 112: Brother, can you hold your hands high?

　　 I have to say that the efficiency of the Japanese was still very high, and during the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese were far less arrogant than later generations. It was just a small country that had just risen, and it beat the country next to it that had been rotten to the bone. In the face of the world's first-rate countries that are truly NB, Japan is really nothing, otherwise it will not let France and Germany build an armored cruiser each!

　　 This time the Far East incident was very depressing in Germany, but it was only depressed, a matter of face. And the Japanese style is really half-dead! Just one Mainz-class armored cruiser eliminated nearly half of the Japanese navy's capital ships! Now this ship is still swaying at sea, with footprints all over the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the Sea of ​​Japan and the East Coast of Japan! In 2 months, this battleship has sunk at least 15 various transport ships! Let 2,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 5,000 tons of various materials sink into the sea to feed the fish... The Japanese Navy just missed it! No way, I dare not divide the troops!

　　 Now that the navy's affairs are not over, the army is also disgusting! There are only 2500 people on the opposite side, and its strength is less than one-sixth of a German division! Just this little force made the Japanese depressed enough. The Germans clearly told Japan in a series of actions, don’t look at your brother being very far away, don’t look at Britain covering you. But as long as we are willing, we can still make you half alive!

　　 Shuzo Aoki, who received the domestic order, immediately got in touch with the British, expressing his willingness to reconcile with Germany, and hoped that the British could match up. The British are now considering how to repair relations with Germany, and they are naturally willing to help. The British also use the personal and government relations of the royal family to send a goodwill signal to Germany, expressing their willingness to provide material assistance to the German fleet in the Far East within its capacity. The original restrictions are lifted.

　　 And the Queen of England also wrote a letter in her own hand, hoping that the Queen of Germany, the Queen of England, could blow the pillow breeze to the old king. Are you all relatives?

The Japanese were even more straightforward. First, a bunch of various orders and purchase intentions were dropped on German companies without money, and they spent a lot of money to lobby some German politicians and newspapers, hoping that they could dilute the conflict and the conflict between the two sides in the Far East. At the same time, the external elephant Matsumitsu Mutsu personally took the initiative. In a personal letter to Bismarck, the Japanese promised that if Japan had a sphere of influence in the Qing country, then the Germans would enjoy the same rights as Japan! Of course, it's too early to say this. After all, don't the Japanese get nothing?

　　 Facing the Japanese kneeling and licking, the German government's reaction from above and below was relatively flat. On the one hand, they felt that the Japanese were not sincere enough. On the other hand, the relationship between Russia and Germany is good. The Japanese are just like splitting Russia and Germany. What do you want? The Russians have stated in advance that Russian and German businessmen have equal status within the Russian sphere of influence, okay? Therefore, Japan's goodwill is not very useful. This really corresponds to Ito Hirobumi's words, the improvement of the relationship between the two parties is a long-term process!

　　 "Aoki Shuzo? This guy is a historical celebrity, he came to Bavaria?" Listening to Earl Schelling's report, Ruprecht muttered to himself. This guy must be trying to relieve the current pressure on Japan in the northeast of Qing Dynasty. Want to let the Bavarian royal family hold their hands high.

"This time, because it was not a regular war, the Prussian General Staff did not use the wartime military power. The attitude of the Kingdom of Bavaria will directly determine the actions of the Blue Legion. The Japanese are just looking at this point, so I hope Bavaria can lift its hands. , Both sides took a step back, and the Japanese also expressed their willingness to order a large amount of arms from Germany to arm the Japanese army.” Count Schelling explained.

　　 "Do the Japanese have a lot of orders? Enough to make up for our consumption and face in the Far East? What is the attitude of the central government?" Ruprecht thought for a while and asked.

"At least from the perspective of the kingdom, we have already taught the Japanese, and the Japanese are willing to provide adequate compensation. The Japanese have stated that they will order at least 10 million marks worth of weapons and various equipment from the kingdom after the war is over. , And it means to order warships." Earl Schelling replied.

　　 "It seems that my cheap father is ready to give up!" Ruprecht pondered and grasped the direction of the wind. Before the Japanese came, they didn't know it at all. That is to say, the royal family blocked the news of themselves and did not want Ruprecht to fail this meeting due to personal problems.

　　 Then, Earl Schelling suddenly mentioned this matter today and explained that Japan intends to buy Bavarian arms. This means that his father and grandfather have agreed in principle to ease the relationship between the two parties. As for the specific ease, it depends on the situation. The tone has been set, whether I agree or not has little effect! If there is an overreaction, it will cause dissatisfaction among the elders.

"Oh, if this is the case, our negotiations with the Russians will have an advantage. Tell the Russians that I have been busy recently. UU reading www.uukanshu.com will delay the time for another week!" His Royal Highness thought for a moment. , Said with a slight smile.

　　 "Cunning little guy!" Two hours later, Earl Schelling relayed Ruprecht's words verbatim to His Royal Highness. And this cheap dad of Ruprecht quickly figured out Ruprecht's thoughts.

　　 This kid still has a deep hostility towards Japan, perhaps because he was almost shot at. Maybe it was something else, but he still didn't want to be close to the Japanese. But at the same time, he was able to recognize his position well. He didn't forcefully contradict what he and the Regent had decided, but rather vaguely mentioned the current order with the Russians!

"Let’s do this first, tell Viscount Schmidt that the Blue Legion’s offensive can be slowed down. Our goal has been achieved. It has deterred Japan and gained economic benefits. Then buy it. There is no need to let the blood of Bavarian soldiers. Stay on the land in a foreign country. As for the others? Just deal with it first." His Highness thought for a while and said.

The Russian order for two 10,000-ton-class armored cruisers is enough to overwhelm all the benefits promised by the Japanese, not to mention that the Bavarian Southern Industries Group is the only supplier of Russian naval armor, and the Japanese can only buy something. It's safe!

At the same time, the Japanese ambassador to the United Kingdom made a special trip to visit the Kingdom of Bavaria, and the situation of being received by His Highness also spread to the ears of the Russians. Makanov, who had been waiting in Munich for more than a month, was a little impatient. And Palokin is really scared! If the Japanese really ordered warships from the Germans, it would be a disaster for the Russian Navy!

　　 The second is even more~~~, I will go to Sanjiang tomorrow~~~, if you have a Sanjiang ticket, I hope I can help~~~, Sanjiang ticket does not cost any money, thank you!
