The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 72 Are you kidding me?

Although he was very unwilling and felt that he had been insulted, Frederick III really intended to let the matter end like this. 1.5 million pounds can finally make some money, and the Japanese apologized and handed over the culprit, which can be regarded as taking care of the face of the Germans. Moreover, the British have guaranteed that Japan will do so, and stated that they will not interfere in other matters between Germany and Japan in the future.

But just when the Germans were getting ready, something else happened! Let the things that have already been negotiated change again!

"The prison where the culprit He Yuan Yaoyi and others were detained suddenly caught fire? All the prisoners were burned to death?" Just 3 days before the extradition, Prime Minister Bismarck received the telegram forwarded from the UK angrily and threw the telegram directly into the In the next to the stove!

The Germans felt that they were more tolerant. Germany decided not to pursue the Japanese officers on the other two Japanese warships. It only demanded that the officers on the Yoshino must be handed over to the Germans. But unexpectedly, with such a request, the Japanese It was also rejected!

Extradition up and prisoners burned? Are you playing with me? How could the iron-blooded prime minister be so deflated in diplomacy? His whole life can be described as fruitful. During the Berlin Conference, even the United Kingdom was forced to make concessions to itself in terms of colonies, and Germany did not back down when it competed with the Americans for Samoa in the Pacific Ocean! How dare a small Japan dare to provoke the majesty of the empire like this?

"Let's just leave it at that, this matter is endless!" Frederick III said calmly after receiving the message. "In addition, send a telegram to Prince Ruprecht and Tirpitz, telling them that they can contact the Beiyang side to discuss some arms matters!"

"Telegram to the Russians again. If they want to maintain their interests in the Far East and value the traditional friendship between the German Empire and Russia, then take practical actions! Our actions have not received strong help from our friends. I Very disappointed!" When the Kaiser issued this order, it meant that this matter was not over! It's just an end!

"Our preparations are too inadequate. We have lost an opportunity to solve the opponent once and for all! We cannot lose the next opportunity!" When the Russian emperor saw the note sent by the German ambassador, he said to his ministers.

The Manchus were nothing to worry about, the only ones who could barely be called opponents were the Japanese. If Russia had a little preparation, Russia and Germany might really beat Japan to its knees! But the accident came too suddenly, and Britain's overly strong performance not only made the Germans lose face, but also made the Russians fearful!

Nicholas II, who was almost assassinated in Japan, has never wanted to kill Japan so much as he does today! Facing the Kaiser's proposal, whether it is based on their own interests or the relationship between the two parties, the Russians must take action! It is okay to pay some price when necessary.

"Tell the Germans that in the Far East, Russia is willing to provide all the help within its power! Russia is willing to be the main force to intervene in the future war between Japan and Qing! As long as Germany is willing to stand by our side!" The Germans can't help the Russians. The Tsar Very clear!

And just when Russia and Germany were preparing to continue plotting the next step, the British were also very concerned about this matter, and as the party involved, the British Prime Minister was even a little frightened!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, what do you think of what the Japanese did? Did those people really die in accidents?" Chamberlain asked with a complicated expression.

"It doesn't matter whether this matter is true or not! The important thing is that the Germans don't believe this statement at all! They think the Japanese are deceiving them!" Prime Minister Salisbury said angrily! The Japanese are really brave enough, dare to play tricks at this time? To be honest, the prime minister himself doesn't believe the Japanese excuses!

"But at least the Kaiser didn't worry about these things anymore? Didn't he?" Chamberlain said with some uncertainty.

"No more entanglement? I'm afraid this matter will not end so well,

Check it out. "The Prime Minister sneered.

"Then what if the Germans take other actions? What should we do?" Chamberlain asked hastily.

"Then what else can we do? The Japanese should bear the consequences of this incident themselves! We are chess players! We will never invest too much in the life and death of a chess piece! What does their own death have to do with the British Empire?" Sudden fury The Prime Minister roared!

Saltsbury has already foreseen Germany's revenge and the high cost that the British government will spend in order to maintain its Far East strategy! His political life should have ended, because the obviously deteriorating Anglo-German relations are an indelible stain on him! Even if what they did was right, it was for the benefit of the British Empire, but those politicians didn't care about it at all, they just wanted to get a share of their own defeat!

"Did this person really die in an accident?" Facing Sukiki Kawayama who was sitting across from him, Hirobumi Ito said while shaking the telegram in his hand! The slightly trembling arms showed that he was in a very bad mood at this time!

"Yes, he really died of an accident, including the guards." Huashan Ziji said with a twinkle in his eyes!

"Okay, that's the end of this matter, but you have to remember that sooner or later, the empire will pay the price for the arbitrariness of a small group of people!" Facing the famous phenomenon in Japanese history, Hirobumi Ito has no choice! This TM is Japan's national conditions! how can you

Although something happened, but things still have to go on? "What should we do next? Do we want to change our strategy for the Qing Dynasty?" Huashan Ziji asked.

"The general direction remains unchanged, and the war will start next year at the latest! But before that, the navy needs to make up for the damage as much as possible. At the same time, we must pay attention to Beiyang's actions. They can no longer be as muddled as before!" Ito Hirobumi said with some concern .

Even if they are pigs, they will be vigilant after avoiding the imminent knife by chance! Beiyang's military expansion and preparation for war is inevitable! This also means that Japan needs more costs to defeat its opponents! I just threw away 1.5 million pounds, and I have to replenish the navy's battle damage! Now Japan's finances need to sell blood! As for the loan? Now besides the UK, who else will lend to Japan? Even Americans are very pessimistic about Japan's future development!

"We must win this war! There is no way out! Get ready to go, if any more troubles arise, the empire will really be over!" In the end, Ito Hirobumi's knife-like eyes almost opened fire on Kawayama Suki Make some holes!

The wheel of history seems to be on the right track after slightly deviating from the track. The German navy's great power is just an accident in the eyes of outsiders, but this incident has changed history to a large extent. The outbreak of a historical fate will bring the two countries in the east to meet each other. At this time, what is Ruprecht doing? How can he use this opportunity to change history?
