Beiyang reactionaries

It is hoped that China will not fall into the alliance between Germany and Japan, especially not to fall further into it.More importantly, never form a real military alliance. This is the purpose of Alexander Cadogan's visit today.

It is really because, once such a military group really appears, it will be detrimental to the whole world and detrimental to the interests of the United Kingdom.The United Kingdom is the country that builds the world order and maintains the world order.The current situation is in the best interests of the United Kingdom. For its own benefit, the United Kingdom does not want the world to be turbulent and the world order to be disrupted.But once China, Japan, and Germany form a military alliance, there will definitely be military conflicts.

So be sure to warn China.

Don't take it too far.

But after talking with Duan Xun for a while, Alexander Cadogan already understood.China is no longer the China of the past, and it is very different from the China of the past.Even the strength has far exceeded the expectations of the United Kingdom.

Look at what Duan Xun said.

The standing army is 300 million, plus the air force and navy is 350 million.If it is necessary, 500 million troops can be mobilized in minutes, and 1000 million troops can be expanded in a year.Combined with the industrial data released by China two years ago, a country with such strength can no longer be treated casually.

During the First World War, many European industrial powers mobilized nationwide.But even if it is a nationwide mobilization, how many troops can they produce.Even if China does not mobilize the whole country, it can easily send out tens of millions of troops without too much difficulty.If China conducts military mobilization, it can mobilize 2000 million troops, 3000 million troops.In this way, China alone can mobilize more troops than the Allies in World War I.

Of course it can be seen from the population.

During the First World War, the main countries of the Allies, Britain, France, and Russia, plus their colonies, had a population of only 2000 million people.As for their military mobilization, the army alone has tens of millions of troops, plus [-] million troops from other armies.The Allies Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, plus their colonies, had a population of just over [-] million people and mobilized more than [-] million troops.

But what about China?

The population of a single country exceeds [-] million.Moreover, it is a centralized country, and its mobilization ability exceeds those of military groups.

That's the advantage.

So the experienced Alexander Cadogan immediately changed his mind.The current cooperation between China, Germany and Japan is just the beginning, and it has not yet fully involved in the military alliance.In fact, Britain can win over China in the Far East.

China and Germany do not have many conflicts of interest.In fact, there is not much conflict of interest between China and the UK.If we say that the current conflicts of interest between the two countries are mainly reflected in issues left over from history, such as the Hong Kong issue, issues in Tibet, Yunnan and other places.There is not much conflict in other respects.

Therefore, at this stage, as long as China is brought together, other problems can be easily solved.Especially in the Far East, as long as China is on the side of Britain, many problems in the Far East can be easily resolved.

This is the butterfly effect.

The current situation is different from the history.The rise of China has also begun to change the world situation.In history, China was nothing. Countries like Britain, France and the United States just regarded China as a raw material base and an object to be divided.But now they have regarded China as an object of wooing.

"Ambassador Cadogan means that China and the UK can cooperate?"

"of course."

"Ambassador Cadogan, I just told you what our country needs right now."

"I think it is completely possible to cooperate. What your country needs, the Empire can help, and it will do better than Germany."

Alexander Cadogan nodded, expressing happily.

Duan Xun smiled slightly.

Duan Xun is willing to cooperate more deeply with Germany, but he never thought of being completely tied to Germany.Even if he further cooperates with Germany, or even forms a military alliance, Duan Xun will not completely fall out with Europe and the United States.

What's more, the current China and Germany have only signed the "Anti-Comintern Pact", which is far from a military alliance.Everyone only reached an agreement on the issue of dealing with the Soviet Union, and stated that they would not sign a separate contract with the Soviet Union.I never said that I would not cooperate with European and American countries.

"Ambassador Cadogan, so what do you think we can do for your country?"

"Ambassador Cadogan, so what do you think we can do for your country?"

Britain suddenly showed favor.

Duan Xun asked Alexander Cadogan directly.The so-called cooperation is mutual benefit. If you are useful to me, I should be useful to you. This is the basis of cooperation.There must be mutual benefit between the two parties in order to be able to cooperate for a long time.In other words, only when the two parties need each other can they cooperate.Only such cooperation can truly go on smoothly.

Alexander Cadogan just said it.

British machinery and equipment and British technology are the best in the world.It means that they are very willing to provide China with British machinery and equipment and British technology.Even Britain is willing to lend to China.

And Alexander Cadogan should understand what Duan Xun meant.

Now Duan Xun, it should be said that the development of China is not just ordinary industry.China now imports a large amount of machinery, equipment and technology, many of which are related to the military and are for the development of military industries.Duan Xun said directly that what China needs are aircraft production lines, tank production lines, truck production lines, and warship production lines.All are needed for military development.

And Alexander Cadogan stated that the UK can provide it.

The meaning is clear.

Britain is willing to support China's development of military technology.

This is very beneficial to China.Because Britain was born as a world hegemon and as the birthplace of world industry, it is definitely the world's leading technology.In this respect, Alexander Cadogan is no nonsense.

If China's military industry can get the support of the United Kingdom, it will definitely develop very well in many aspects.

But the UK is willing to give so many benefits, and of course it needs China to do the same in return.Britain is a veteran imperialist country, and it has always adopted pragmatism in its diplomacy, which is very smart.

Britain will not do things that have no interests.

"Prime Minister Duan, the friendship between our two countries has a long history. The cooperation between the two sides is beneficial to both sides and can maintain the friendship between the two sides."

Duan Xun was amused.

Alexander Cadogan is really crafty.It is clear that China needs to do something, but it will never be said directly.But he didn't say it out, but Duan Xun couldn't really pretend that they didn't ask.

If Duan Xun is so dishonest, then the cooperation between China and the UK will not progress.

"Ambassador Cadogan, since it is cooperation, of course it is mutual help between the two sides. I really hope to get the help and support of your country. However, we in China have believed in reciprocity since ancient times. Since our country wants your country Of course, our country also hopes to help your country with some small favors. Only in this way can we accept your country's help with peace of mind."

"How embarrassing that is."

Alexander Cadogan smiled.

I am very happy that Duan Xun can go on the road.But he was also very afraid of Duan Xun in his heart.This politician who was born in the military is so smart that he is no different from a seasoned politician.

"In fact, based on the friendship between our two countries for many years, why bother to talk about this. However, the empire really needs some help for your country. Prime Minister Duan, you also know that since your country and Japan clashed with the Netherlands, Nanyang is still a little unstable Especially in the recent period, the Japanese navy has been taking more and more actions in Java Island, making the situation in Nanyang more and more unstable. Prime Minister Duan, the stability of Nanyang is beneficial to us. The Chinese businessmen in Nanyang must also hope that Nanyang is stable, so don’t affect their Business. There are also many economic ties between your country and Nanyang Chinese businessmen, and you definitely don’t want to see their business go wrong. Therefore, I hope your country can come forward to stabilize the situation in Nanyang and not undermine the stability of Nanyang.”

really.

Britain's defense against Japan is getting deeper and deeper.

But this is also understandable.Since the Japanese took control of Java Island, more and more troops have been deployed on Java Island.Japan currently has deployed three brigades of army units and six army flying brigades on Java Island.The Japanese Nanyang Fleet was also formed and began to station on Java Island.The Japanese Nanyang Fleet is composed of an aircraft carrier, two battleships, two heavy cruisers, three light cruisers, seven destroyers, and some submarines. These fleets alone are already very powerful.And the navy has also deployed eleven naval air brigades.

Japan has no air force and is directly divided into Army Air Forces and Naval Air Forces.In total, Japan has deployed [-] flying brigades and more than [-] aircraft on Java Island.

Such military power is already quite amazing.

Japan not only deployed a large number of its own troops on Java Island, but also supported the newly established Republic of Indonesia to form three divisions of the Indonesian Army, with a number of about 2.Also help the Republic of Indonesia to build their air force and navy.

How can Britain not worry about Japan's actions.Because Japan's strength in Nanyang is getting stronger and stronger.Britain is really worried, worried that Japan will continue to increase its strength in Nanyang.At present, Japan's strength in Nanyang is already able to directly threaten the United Kingdom.

And it's not just Java Island.

Japan has deployed a large number of naval forces in Taiwan and Hainan.Once anything happens, Japan can quickly participate in the war.Seriously threatened Britain's interests in Southeast Asia.

Britain is becoming more and more afraid of Japan.
