Chapter 149: We bought it!

"Prime Minister, what are you still hesitating? Two 12,000-ton armored cruisers, they are better than the Munich-class armored cruisers, and more powerful! Our Kasuga cruiser is just a joke in front of these two warships, they destroyed The Kasuga is even easier to destroy the Yoshino than the Munich! Even the two 10,000-ton second-class battleships we ordered from the United Kingdom are far inferior to them!" Huashan Ziji looked at Ito Hirobumi, who closed his eyes on the main seat, and was very upset I'm impatient.

　　 "Okay, we already know about this. You don't need to take care of the rest. Just take care of your fleet." The Minister of the Navy Yamamoto Kenbei said impatiently. Kayama Sukeki can give Ito Hirofumi's face, but facing the father of the Japanese navy, his old boss, Kayama Sukeki really has no idea what to do. So I can only stand up and say goodbye, and then leave here dingy.

　　 "This incident is a bit beyond our expectations. The Russians actually abandoned their martial arts." Saiyuanji Gongwang, who was sitting on Ito Hirobumi's left hand, smiled bitterly.

"Yeah, such a big piece of pie fell from the sky. We are now shy in our pockets and have no money. This is really a tragedy." Although in front of outsiders, Yamamoto Kenbei tried his best to defend Ito. Bowen's face and majesty, but at this time, with the door closed, he is still a little dissatisfied with Ito's actions.

"It's too late to talk about these things. The key is, do we eat these two warships? If we want to buy them, how much is the right price?" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang thought for a while. Decided to face reality instead of struggling with things that cannot be put on the table.

"Everyone is someone who knows the inside story. Do you think that the current empire has other options besides buying these two warships? The layout we originally did is actually not enough. The previous layout is at best enough. But if these two warships can enter the Imperial Navy sequence, then we have more confidence in the fight, and no one can stop us at that time. It is worth buying an insurance for 1.5 million pounds, after all, it was only given to Germany. People apologized and we paid at least 2 million pounds. Do you think so?" Ito Hirobumi's words were calm, but they played a decisive role.

　　 "What about the budget problem" Ito Hirofumi's words made Yamamoto Gonhei very satisfied, but Nishionji Konobu has questions about the source of funds. For some reason, Japan's financial situation is really stretched! Saiyuanji Gongwang didn't want to show up in Japan where he could get the money!

"If it doesn't work, then only embezzle the budget and reserves. If the Dongchuang incident happens, I will have to cut my belly. Anyway, the money has been spent, and the boat is also bought." Ito's blogger smiled slightly, as if to say something. A trivial thing.

　　 "Hehe, if the Dongchuang incident really happened, I am afraid that not only your head will not be able to keep it, but I am afraid that my addition will not be enough." Xiyuanji Gongwang smiled bitterly. "But before that, we can issue another treasury bond, and hope that someone else can subscribe for a batch now. Our interest rate has been raised to 11%, but the situation is still not ideal."

"Well, now that this matter has been determined, then go ahead and do it. If possible, let Mutsu Somitsu personally handle this matter. Ito Youhei of the navy can cooperate with him. I don't think this matter is that way. Easily, the actual owners of these two warships are very unfriendly to the empire. I am afraid it will take a lot of effort." Ito Hirobumi said at last.

"This person, he is a genius, but he is always influenced by emotions. I find it difficult to understand. Is such a person a good thing or a bad thing for this country if he becomes a king?" Yamamoto Gonbei told Ruprech Prince Te's evaluation is very complicated, and the prince is right. Only after really hurting the Japanese, the Japanese will give respect to the abuser. Whether it was the performance of the prince in the battle of Toshima, or the subsequent performance of Mainz in the battle of the Yellow Sea, or the performance of the Blue Legion in Jiuliancheng, Japan saw the gap between itself and the world's first-class empire. Regarding the prince, the Japanese were really scared on the one hand, and on the other hand they thought he was a little bit angry. In short, it is very complicated and contradictory!

　　 "On the British side, I also want to say that if we buy these two warships, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction with the British. Please Aoki-kun for this." Saiyuanji Gongwang reminded.

　　 "In addition, if the Russians learn that we are going to buy these two warships, will they ask for the renewal of the contract?" Yamamoto Kenbei asked suddenly.

"If it is someone else, it is very likely to be restored, but this prince is different. He is very vengeful. Unless the Russians show real sincerity, the contract cannot be restored, and now the French is holding the Russian money bag. The Russians will not repent at this time." Ito Hirofumi sees things very clearly.

　　 The Japanese decided to buy a boat with a very complicated mood. Of course, it is only the Japanese who decide to buy now, and whether Ruprecht will sell is still a question. How much to sell is another question. Ruprecht can't understand the direction of this world and the deeper things. He needs to go through a series of temptations to find out the bottom of all parties. And just before Mitsumitsu Mutsu left Japan for Germany. UU reading www.uukanshu. The British godfather of com Japan is also very entangled in this matter.

"The pound we gave to the Japanese was actually used to buy German ships. This always made me feel a little unhappy. And is it really good for us to help Japan implement that whimsical plan? Is it really good for the future of the empire? "Lord Hamilton glanced at the documents that the Japanese had just received and said.

"This is a single-choice question. Except for Japan, why should we stop the expansion of the Russians in the Far East? Now Russia has the friendship of Germany and the money of France. They are the greatest enemy of the empire. If this issue is reformed, then Russia will become one of the most terrifying countries in the world.” Salisbury said.

　　 "But this plan is really a bit risky. Will we be notorious for doing this?" Hamilton still hesitated.

　　 "Hehe, it's just a small country, so there's no need to worry. Let's follow our original plan." Salisbury said. A simple decision ended this conversation. But the results of this conversation only gradually became apparent after a few years.

　　 Just as the Japanese and the British were preparing something, there was also an undercurrent surging in the United States on the other side of the ocean. Dewey, who had just returned from the Far East, received an order from the Admiralty soon after landing. There was Theodore Roosevelt's signature on it, asking him to rush to Washington immediately. This incident surprised him a bit.

　　The four ships were indeed bought in Japan. So what is the purpose of Japan's rapid military expansion now? ? The second one is here~~~, there is one more in the evening! Ask for collection, ask for reward~~~.

　　 I also recommend a good book, the rise of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, readers who like to read this history can go and read it~~~.
