Chapter 2861: British abacus one

"Maybe, what I said next is a bit mean, but some questions should be clarified." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu looked hesitant. "Before the war, your country’s main oil relied on Persia, but after the war, after losing this important oil producing area, your country’s oil relied on our supply. Now, because of Tarragon Island, the empire exports With large-scale oil reductions, how did your country raise enough heavy oil for the combined fleet in a short period of time?"

"Some people say that we British are pirates in our bones, but I think we are merchants even more! For a merchant, as long as there is money, there are no items that cannot be bought. I can tell you clearly that our oil comes from Transcaucasus!" Betty said with a smile. Although Germany and Britain are mortal enemies, the normal trade between the two countries has not been disturbed after the war has ended. Therefore, the United Kingdom is also one of the important users of German oil exports. In fact, the oil imported by the United Kingdom from Japan is mainly supplied to Southeast Asia and South Asia. The domestic oil is still produced in Germany. Because the distance is closer and cheaper!

"If this is the case, it seems that our two most worrying issues have been resolved." After hearing Betty's assurance, Shimura Hayao finally loosened his attitude. "But what's the reward for doing this? With the support of your information and supplies, what kind of results can we achieve? In addition, how do we withdraw from the battlefield after the battle is over?"

In fact, Hayao Shimamura is most relevant to the last question. How to enter this area is actually not difficult because the US forces are under pressure before deployment. As a result, the power of the intermediate islands as the connection point is limited. Without deliberate security, it is not a problem to quickly pass these islands where the US military is stationed by using weather, night, and high speed. With intelligence and supplies, the Japanese Navy will obtain a certain amount of The results can be expected. But after the fight, how do you go back? When the U.S. fleet learned that a large number of Japanese battleships had entered its hinterland, the U.S. Navy would definitely reinforce its military presence in the Marshall Islands and Gilbert Islands. At the same time, a large number of U.S. warships would also flood in from all directions. The Japanese fleet wanted to keep the original. It's impossible to return to the road!

"The question of how to evacuate actually depends on the battlefield conditions, but we have the safest route. We will set up supply points in Samoa and Tonga. The Japanese joint fleet can follow this line to New Zealand and detour from southern Australia. Going back, the U.S. Navy’s fast warships are not enough, and they can’t catch them even if they can catch up. If it is a main force composed of slow warships, it’s impossible to catch us. At that time, it’s up to us to fight or leave. Up."

"And even if the Americans have insight into our route in advance, it doesn't matter, because in the South Pacific waters, they lack sufficient supplies and intelligence support, and with the assistance of our military, your country can be successfully separated from the battlefield." Betty Said.

"The help provided by your country moved me, and your remarks made me hardly find a reason to refuse. All this is so beautiful, so beautiful that I can't believe my ears." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu sighed. . "I only have one question to ask your Excellency. Isn’t your country afraid of America’s crazy revenge? The Americans’ industrial strength is obvious to all, and they are now willing to use force to solve problems, and they dare to give them while they are engaged in the Pacific War. The Germans are asking for trouble."

"So good, now the question is here, why is your country willing to pay such a high price and take such a big risk to help us? There are no outsiders here. All of us know very well that in the previous days, both of us How did the country move toward cooperation? The process can be said to be a bit unpleasant. We are very surprised by the change in your attitude or the attitude of your government." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu said with a serious face.

"Hehe, now, your Excellency still raises such a question? I would like to know whether this is because of your country's sense of crisis implanted in the soul or inferiority? Or is it hopeless for the future situation? "Betty chuckled after listening, showing no mercy in her words.

"You often compare your country to a businessman, and if a businessman cannot sell the ropes that can hang himself to his enemies, he is not a qualified businessman, and as far as the country is concerned, as long as there is interest, there is no credibility. There is no morality. From the perspective of your country’s needs, the United States, which is closer to the United Kingdom, is clearly your country’s best ally against Germany, and cooperation with us is just a stopgap measure. Am I wrong? Is it?" asked Shitaro Yoshimatsu.

"Well, we can speak a little bit more. If only from the perspective of dealing with Germany, the Americans are indeed our best ally. We do not want to see the European continent controlled by one country. For this goal, we And the Americans can share the same hatred. But in terms of fundamental strategic needs, we and the United States also have serious differences. Whether it is against Russia before and against Germany later. The fundamental purpose of the British Empire is to maintain its first-class position in the world. What about the Americans? They certainly won't let the Germans stand at the top, but for the same reason, they don't want us at the top."

"So from this point of view, the contradiction between us and the United States is irreconcilable ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The British Empire can allow your country to dominate the Far East because we only care about the economic interests of the Far East. It doesn't sound good to say it. If your country’s power can hold its current sphere of influence for a long period of time, it’s not bad that it has very limited influence outside the region."

"Under the current circumstances, the British Empire must guarantee the security and stability of the colonies in Oceania, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Before that, the Americans had already begun to work on our islands in the Pacific. Before, it was the Christmas Islands and then the Cook Islands. , When the Americans find that their ambitions will not be suppressed, it is very likely to take action against New Zealand or even Australia. This is absolutely unacceptable to the Empire. How? Is this reason sufficient? Of course, the funds provided by your country It is also very beneficial to the recovery of the British Empire, because there are many things you can only buy from the UK!" Betty said stabbingly.

"Your statement makes me very uncomfortable, but I have to say that you are very frank. And for this reason, I think we can continue to cooperate as long as we still want to maintain the situation in Southeast Asia." Shigeru Yoshimatsu Said.
