Chapter 1565： The Japanese who stayed behind (1/2)
Slide 1565
”However, we may not have gained nothing in the south.” Saiyuan Temple said after looking at the embarrassed Yamamoto Gonhei. ”If the Germans are rational enough, then they should not follow in the footsteps of the Americans, because after this war is over, the United States will become the most powerful country, and its influence will extend from the Americas to the world. And for a long time, even Germany, as a victorious country, may not be able to match this kind of influence, so they should not weaken us excessively.”
”Haha, are we going to please the Germans who are already enemies at this time? Why don't you say, let us join the Allied Powers directly?” There are friends in Shan County who sneered at Xiyuan Temple Gongwang's statement. To a certain extent, it is considered ”surrender”.
”Because we still need British pounds and French money! Moreover, Britain and France also don't want to see Americans dominate Central Asia!” Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said with a smile, not at all displeased by Shan County's accusations.
”But we always need to come up with something that Germans are interested in? Even if they don't want to see the United States dominate the Far East from a strategic point of view, we can't not pay the price.” Yamamoto Quanhei said.
”This is indeed a problem. Once Germany acquires part of Russia's Eastern European territory, Germany's natural resource endowment will be greatly improved. Under this circumstance, it is really difficult for us to give an overweight that satisfies the Germans, but Even so, the Germans still lack two things, one is tin ore and non-ferrous metals, and the other is rubber. Therefore, if we are willing to share the resources in the East India region with Germany, they will probably be very willing.” Xiyuan Temple Gongwang Said.
”This is far from enough. If the Dutch can get back the occupied territories, they can do better!” said Youpeng in Shan County.
”In fact, there is one more thing. We can give it. That is the market, the Philippines, and even the Northeast market!” Xiyuan Temple Gongwang squeezed this sentence from his teeth.
”What's a joke?! Don't say that we remove the tariff barrier. Even if the barrier is not high enough or strong enough, German goods with extremely high cost performance will run rampant here, squeezing us out. A colonial power cannot lose two things, one is raw materials. The place of production is the market! This is tantamount to killing us!” Yamamoto Quanhei said in shock.
”I don't want to do this, but we only have one chance to decide. If we estimate the situation wrong, then it will be forever for the Japanese Empire. This is the last step, and I don't want to go. So, if virtue is not If we are satisfied with taking back the former German colony in the Pacific region, then we can only hope that the resistance in Southeast Asia will allow the Americans to retreat!” Saiyuanji Gongwang said.
”The Russian civil war cannot be stopped in a short time, and our goal of marching north is limited, so don't worry. The key is to defend the colonies in Southeast Asia. The combined fleet cannot fight the German fleet head-on, but we can use submarines. For sneak attacks on the transportation fleets of the United States and Germany, the elite of the combined fleet should be concentrated in the Philippines. In this way, not only can it maintain a deterrent against the US fleet, but it can also identify opportunities to attack.”
