Chapter 201: 3 party wars and 4 parties count two!

"This result is very good." Ruprecht probably estimated the form of the two sides and thought that it is a good choice to hand the battleship to the British now. Only if the United States is defeated can the hatred continue and the US attention can be killed. Staring at the Far East. The British will be hated by the United States because of their aid to Japan. So as long as Germany pays attention to its relations with the United States, the situation where Germany was crushed by the world's powers in World War I should change a little, right?

As a rising power, they themselves refuse to fail, and any failure will have a profound impact on their national will and decision-making. Military failure will at least allow them to re-understand the power of other countries in the world, and thus to themselves The power of suspicion will make them reconsider the relationship between friends and enemies. Do not ask the United States to stand on the side of Germany in the world war, as long as it can maintain its neutrality, then the probability of Germany getting a decent ending will be much higher!

"The Germans finally handed over the battleship." When looking at the two armored cruisers Asama and Yakumo, which were gradually leaving their outfitting berths in the distance, Akiyama could not help but exclaimed that the Japanese navy was in the Sino-Japanese War. The cost was much higher than in history. Not only the warships were lost, but also the personnel, especially the senior commanders, were also a little bit unreceived. Therefore, originally it was only brilliant in the Russo-Japanese War. At this time, I should study in the United States. Shinyuki Akiyama also became a member of the receiving team.

  The confidential work of the Japanese is still very good. The Japanese naval officers and soldiers who received the Asama and Yakumo arrived in the UK in batches under various names, and some even boarded the British mainland as foreign students or businessmen. They received some basic training in the UK, but until 3 days ago, most people didn’t know what their specific tasks were. All they could do every day was training, and then they stayed in the tightly guarded accommodation area, privately. Going out is absolutely prohibited.

  It was only two days ago that Makiyama Akiyama knew that his trip was preparing to receive two battleships of the same level as the Hijin and Izumo! The two warships were originally the warships that Japan commissioned to purchase from Brazil! In the three years since the end of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan actually purchased 4 12,000-ton armored cruisers in one go! What the **** is this for? Before many people were relieved from the shock, Maki Akiyama had already smelled a hint of war! However, he did not expect that Japan would do anything to the Philippines. He set the imaginary enemy to be Russia, because in his opinion, the conflict between the United States and Japan in Hawaii would not cause the empire to move so much.

Of course, before the secret is revealed, it is inconvenient for the Japanese to appear at the pick-up site. The Royal Navy is responsible for the handover with the German shipyard. As the representative of Germany, Brom happily signed his name on the document. Then, under the operation of the British, the two warships went to the British Armstrong Shipyard to complete the final outfitting. If nothing else, they could be handed over to the Japanese Navy within one month!

  "Does this tell the Americans?" At the same time, in Munich, Earl Schelling and Ruprecht are also considering follow-up matters.

"Don't worry, wait a minute, wait until the evidence is conclusive, and then tell the Americans, for example, when the Japanese have boarded a battleship. We have to tell the Americans that we are innocent, whether it is the United States, Spain, or us. Japan and the two countries cheated. The Japanese bypassed the obstacles set by the Russians through purchasing agents, and they have been ready to do something against the Philippines since then.” Prince Ruprecht said with a smile. "By the way, it seems that the Americans are facing some difficulties in Berlin?"

   "That's the case. The relationship between the United States and Germany has never been considered a number, and the entry of a large number of US fleets into the Far East has caused the central government to worry about it, and it is normal for the borrowing of bases and facilities to fail." Earl Schelling replied.

  "Where is the main resistance?" His Royal Highness continued to ask.

"Of course it is the Prime Minister. His son is in charge of foreign affairs. He himself is in charge of the empire. It is not difficult to prevent this. The Prime Minister still values ​​the relationship with the British too much. The British have repeatedly hinted that Germany will maintain its presence in the Far East. Neutral, so the American request cannot be passed at all." Earl Schelling said with a smile.

   "How can I fail to pass? It's time to help the Americans. Otherwise, this scene in the Far East will not be easy." His Royal Highness ordered: "Arrange the schedule now. I need to go to Berlin."

  Although the Americans’ diplomatic actions in Germany have repeatedly hit a wall, their combat readiness activities are still ongoing. The warships to be incorporated into the Far East in the future have already reached the west coast of the United States, and then they will travel to the Far East in the name of patrolling the Samoyed in Hawaii. The movement of the navy is fairly easy. The most important thing is the army. After the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in history, the Americans began to mobilize the army. It took more than two months for Dewey to wipe out the Spanish-Philippines fleet. The U.S. Army set off from the West Coast. More than 10,000 talents came to the Philippines. The navy can go to the Far East in the name of patrols. What is the name of the army?

Although Congress has not moved, but with the acquiescence of the President and the plan of the Navy Department, the fleet consisting of the battleships Iowa, the armored cruisers Brooklyn and the USS New York, and two 7000-ton protective cruisers are on four supply ships. Accompanied by him, he left San Francisco for the Far East on Christmas Day 1897. The departure of such a large fleet naturally attracted the attention of all forces in the Far East. Everyone knows that the final showdown has finally arrived. Seven days later, the Russian fleet also left the French Concession of Shanghai and began to sail toward the depths of the ocean!

  And just before Essen left the East China Sea with the fleet~www.wuxiaspot.com~ when passing by the Ryukyu Islands, uninvited guests come! "Damn it! This should have been my flagship!" Essen kept cursing as he watched the warship approaching quickly from the northwest! The slender hull, the hexagonal primary and secondary main guns, the super-high speed and the simple and smooth appearance accurately indicate the identity of the visitor. This armored cruiser, originally ordered by Russia and then named the Russian class, has now become the Nisshin of the Japanese combined fleet! At this moment, the warship that should have been the flagship of Essen is tracking the Russian fleet! Obviously, the actions of the Russians have aroused the vigilance of the Japanese!

   "Russian actions are very abnormal." Uemura Hiko's words revealed a strong worry.

"What about abnormal? When the Asama and Yakumo return, we will be the kings of the Far East. Both Americans and Russians will be crushed by the combined fleet." Togo Heihachiro looked away from the distant Russian fleet. , Said quietly.

   "You are so confident." Uemura Hikoyuki said.

  "Aren't you confident?" Togo Heihachiro asked with a smile.
