Chapter 221

"Gentlemen, if we were to sell warships to the Empire on which the sun never sets, what warships could we sell? And which warships do they like? Don't forget, in the Pacific direction, the Eastern Empire is becoming more and more aggressive. The possibility of drastic changes in the direction of the Pacific Ocean is getting bigger and bigger!"Franklin reminded

"Your Excellency, even if the Eastern Empire expands in the Pacific direction, the first target will not be us, but the Kingdom of Gaul, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Once the Third Reich invades these countries from Europe, their colonies will inevitably become the coveted targets of the Eastern Empire! We only need to maintain a relatively strong force in the Pacific direction, which is enough to deter the Eastern Empire." said General William Leahy.

"Yes, Your Excellency. For us, the most important thing is to obtain the advanced technologies of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, which will enable us to build world-class warships. By then, we can build advanced warships in large quantities and crush the Eastern Empire!"General Claude Swanson also said.

Franklin thought for a while, nodded, and agreed with this statement.

The Eastern Empire is indeed very arrogant at present.

However, the shortcomings of the Eastern Empire are also very obvious.

The resources are scarce. The industry is weak, and even the Eagle Country cannot compare with it in terms of science and technology.

If the Eagle Country obtains the advanced technology of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, thereby improving its military technology, then the Eagle Country will not have to turn the East The empire took it seriously.

When the huge industrial strength of the Eagle Sauce Country was transformed into war strength, it would be enough to form a crushing advantage over the Eastern Empire.

"Your Excellency, what kind of warships does the Sun Never Set Empire want to buy from us? And what warships we can provide them, I'm afraid we still need to negotiate with them. It’s not too late to decide by then. As long as a tone is set first, both parties can cooperate in this area." said Claude Swanson

"Well, let's leave this matter to the Navy. However, if the Sun Never Sets Empire wants to buy warships from us, it must provide us with those advanced technologies. Otherwise, we will not trade with them!"Franklin reminded.

This is undoubtedly the most prerequisite.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Claude Swanson and Admiral William Leahy both replied.

They are not fools, and they naturally know the importance of this.

On the afternoon of July 9, Imperial Foreign Minister Edward Wood and Commander of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet Charles Admiral Forbes arrived at the Eagle Country secretly.

Edward Wood met with the Governor of the Eagle Country, Franklin and

Prime Minister Cordell Hull. And General Charles Forbes had a formal meeting with Captain Claude and General William Leahy. negotiation

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, Your Excellency the General. The Sun Never Sets Empire hopes to receive a batch of advanced warships for emergency response. Although, Yingjiang Country has not yet been involved in the war and is a neutral country. However, our two countries have been allies fighting side by side since the last world war. If this time, the Royal Navy is defeated by the Third Reich Navy. Then, Eagle Sauce Country will face a powerful opponent in the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore, helping the Royal Navy is helping the Eagle Country itself." said Gen. Charles Forbes.

"General, none of us are diplomats. These diplomatic rhetoric can be left to the diplomats of the two countries to handle. We can discuss substantive issues." said General William Leahy.

General Charles Forbes couldn't help but laugh, which was what he expected.

"So, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, Your Excellency General, are you willing to provide these warships to the Royal Navy?" asked Gen. Charles Forbes

"Of course, Your Excellency General. The Chinese Navy cooperated with the Royal Navy for reasons. Even if we are a neutral country. However, selling warships does not constitute a violation of the neutrality treaty. However, this will inevitably cause us to severely offend the Third Reich. Therefore, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets must provide us with enough conditions to make us tempted." said Claude Swanson

"Okay, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief. What does your country need?" asked Gen. Charles Forbes

"Large-caliber naval gun manufacturing technology, aircraft engine and large warship engine technology, radar and electronic technology, especially fire control radar technology!"Claude Swanson said.

General Charles Forbes couldn't help but frowned.

These are cutting-edge technologies mastered by the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets!

In the world, there are probably only the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets and the Third Reich. can compete in these fields.

Even the Eagle Sauce Country is far behind them in this regard.

And now, the Eagle Sauce Country obviously wants to seize this opportunity and get a breakthrough from the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets..

However, Admiral Charles Forbes also knew that if they refused to sell these technologies, the Eagle Country would not sell warships to them.

At the same time, it would be difficult to tie the Eagle Country to their warships. The car is gone

"The Sun Never Sets Empire can sell these technologies to your country. However, these are the most advanced technologies in the empire, and they are not cheap!"General Charles Forbes said through gritted teeth.

"Of course, we can discuss the specific price later."Claude Swanson and General William Leahy couldn't help but be overjoyed.

As long as the Empire of the Sun Never Sets can sell these advanced technologies, price is not a problem.

Especially for the wealthy Eagle Country, as long as it can be solved with money problem, then it’s not a problem

"good. So, the next step is for the Royal Navy to purchase your country’s warships. We hope to buy your country's North Carolina class battleship!" said Gen. Charles Forbes.

"What? North Carolina class battleship?"Claude Swanson and Admiral William Leahy couldn't help but exclaimed.

Currently, there are only two North Carolina-class battleships and four South Dakota-class battleships under construction in the Eagle Navy.

Moreover, South Dakota The construction of the North Carolina-class battleships only started this year, and it will take a long time before they can be put into service.

Therefore, the two North Carolina-class battleships have become the most powerful battleships that the Eagle Navy can serve in the near future. This is The next role of the Chinese navy is to be the face of the navy!
