Ishii Kikujiro continued: "Believe me, Honorable Prime Minister, in this world, apart from Japan, no powerful country wants the British Empire to retain the colonies of India and Southeast Asia, because we need your country’s technical and industrial support. The country needs our saber to maintain the security of the colony. In this case, we are mutually beneficial, and the basis of common interests will be the prerequisite for us to continue to maintain the alliance. No matter what the leader’s subjective views, don’t you think? "

"However, there is a difference after all. There is a bottom line for doing anything. This is not something that a newly rising country can understand." Asquith said unmovedly. This kind of attitude, no matter what you say, I just don’t listen, caused the negotiation between the two parties to fall into a deadlock!

"Through the negotiations just now, you should believe in the sincerity of the Japanese imperial government. We can help your country solve all the problems in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Whether it is the riots in India or the independence movement in Sarawak, we can solve them, as long as we can If an agreement is reached, the next day, our army will enter Sarawak and fully obey the orders of your local government. We cannot do anything arrogant because we have what each other needs." Ishii Kikujiro said impatiently.

"I believe your country will give us a lot of help in Southeast Asia and South Asia, and you have the ability to do things well. Even if we don't pay a pound for it." Asquith nodded and said.

"Fuck! There is such a thing?" For the first time, Ishii Kiujiro felt that the direction of the meeting had deviated from the scheduled plan. The British might indeed use the Japanese to suppress the strangeness of India, but what does the last sentence mean? ? Did I help you fight the war, and you still didn't pay any money? This made the Japanese who were accustomed to being "mercenaries" in World War I felt quite dissatisfied.

"I think..." When Ishii Kikujiro was about to clarify some questions, Prime Minister Asquis on the opposite side made a quiet gesture.

"Your country must guarantee our colonial rule in Southeast Asia and South Asia. This is an unavoidable fact, because this is the basis for our cooperation with your country. If one day India is no longer owned by the United Kingdom, then you should know the United Kingdom. What will we do. We will never cooperate with your country anymore, because we have no interests to protect your country. Do you know what I mean? So, since your country will use a saber to help us solve the problem anyway, then we Why spend extra money? Do you know what I mean?" Asquith said with a smile.

"Fuck!" Ishii Kikujiro finally understood what Asquis meant. Before the two sides could cooperate in depth, there was a prerequisite, that is, the Japanese needed to help the British freely help the British maintain the colonies of India and Southeast Asia during the British recovery period. stable! Attention, it is free!

But can the Japanese say no? Ishii Kikujiro really hesitated. The apparent purpose of the British doing this was to save money. After all, the British had just finished the war and lost. The debts can be described by astronomical figures. Now, we must ensure that the Far East The stability of the colony requires at least a hundred thousand troops. The cost of these troops is an astronomical figure for the British. It is estimated that after the completion of the entire mission, the cost will be hundreds of millions of pounds! And now, the British are ready to pass the cost to the Japanese!

Ishii Kikujiro is thinking fast in his mind now, if the Japanese say no, what will happen? The most direct result is naturally that the cooperation between Japan and the United Kingdom can only stay on the most basic level. The technology and engines that the Japanese want to obtain will be greatly reduced. Even when the war is about to be defeated, the British and the Americans reach certain agreements. Then it's possible to fall into trouble! After all, there is already a precedent for the French stabbing a knife in the back on the battlefield, and Japan does not want to be the second!

What about the British? If Japan refuses to provide free assistance, then Britain can only deal with it on its own. Of course, the British will spend a lot of money and lose their troops and equipment. But with Britain’s hundreds of years of wealth and the attitude of other powers, the probability of the British keeping these two places is very high.

So, now the problem is coming. If Japan refuses, Japan may lose an empire, and the biggest cost for the British may be more than 9 figures! So, the end result is that the British dare to gamble, but the Japanese do not dare to gamble! People are betting money, you are betting life!

Looking at the Englishman who was still on the other side, Ishii Kiujiro couldn't help but wiped a cold sweat. Only now did he know that he was not the one who was in charge of the whole meeting! The British have always mastered the rhythm of the talks! Compared with the British empire that has been standing in the world for hundreds of years, Japan is still too immature, no matter what it is! In a few words~www.novelhall.com~ The conditions put forward by the British put a heavy pot on Japan's back! This is much higher than the total value of the total weapons and equipment listed by the Japanese on the previous list! However, in the face of this situation, the Japanese are unwilling to accept, but there is really no way to refuse!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, although it is okay to help each other as allies, you must consider the affordability of the Japanese Empire when making requests. We are already at war on the two fronts. We are fighting on the northern front. To prepare for a national war with the Americans in the Pacific, and now, to help your country suppress the Indian uprising free of charge, this is beyond the empire’s ability." Ishii Kikujiro could not accept or refuse, so he decided Test the attitude of the British.

"There is an ancient story in Europe, which is very educational. I think you should listen to it." Prime Minister Asquis said calmly: "One day, a father gave a glass jar full of sugar to his own. As the child’s birthday present, the latter was very happy and couldn’t wait to put his hand in. The opening of this glass jar was just slightly larger than the child’s hand. The child grabbed a lot of candies and wanted to take them out. However, he found that his hand could not be taken back anyway. Then the father told the child that if you take less, you can easily take it back and eat the candy into your mouth."

"Mr. Envoy, do you understand what I mean?" Asquith said with a smile.
