Act 73: Tai Chi Pushing, Pushing and Pushing
In fact, the Japanese soon discovered that what they are doing is actually useless.
Britain, France, the United States and Italy just don't want Qiongya to build those four super battleships. They have no limit on the Qiongya Navy's undeveloped body. They even need to weaken the indicators and include the main data of the new warships in the treaty system and play according to the rules of the game they set. They have no intention of making trouble with the Japanese and completely destroying the Qiongya Navy's development space with one stick.
The attitudes of the four European and American countries, coupled with the results of differentiation and enlistment within Qiongya are extremely limited, which forces the Japanese to think of other ways.
Just the current super battleship "Qiongya" owned by Qiongya has made the Japanese unable to sleep or eat. As for the more abnormal super battleships in the second batch of shipbuilding plans, they are unacceptable.
If the negotiations for Qiongya to join the contract go smoothly, it would be best to cancel the new-level battleship in the Qiongya shipbuilding plan through negotiations and kill it in the cradle. Even if it cannot be cancelled, it is acceptable to force the Qiongya people to modify the design, and strictly limit the main performance indicators of the new battleship.
But the problem now is that eggs cannot be placed in a basket, and peace cannot be maintained by a treaty, especially for the Japanese who regard the treaty as nothing. Only with super battleships that can curb the new battleships of Qiongya can the sense of crisis lingering in the hearts of the Japanese can eliminate the Japanese's sense of crisis.
At present, the new generation of super warships that the Japanese Navy is committed to building is under intense design work. In order to cope with the threat of the new battleships in Qiongya, the construction of the new battleships will not stop no matter what. If they cannot complete the negotiations before the main design of the new battleships are completed, the threat of the new battleships in Qiongya will be limited. Then the start date of the new generation of Japanese battleships will not be postponed, which means that Japan will have to withdraw from the naval system established by the Treaty of Washington.
Nowadays, the Japanese are not too afraid of the Qiongya. But if the second batch of shipbuilding plans are really completed successfully, Qiongya will have a battleship that exceeds the Japanese Navy, which makes the Japanese feel too insecure. In fact, in order to ensure that their latest battleships can be launched when Roger's second batch of shipbuilding plans are completed, they will do anything. If their newly built battleships cannot be included in the treaty system and gain recognition from other countries, they will even completely tear up the treaty and complete the construction of new battleships.
As a result, the burden on Japanese negotiators has become heavier. Being able to curb the development momentum of Qiongya through a treaty is the best choice. At least. With the constraints of this treaty, when Japan is preparing to break through the restrictions of the treaty in the future, it can catch Qiongya off guard and take the initiative.
…………………………
I have to say that people are forced out, and only with pressure can they have motivation. In modern society, Roger, who had already put down his pen for a long time and had been typing on the computer keyboard all day long, has finally scooped up a pen again and lived a "primitive" paper-in-law office life.
I remember the days when I first scooped up a pen in the Republic of China were so miserable. I don’t need to mention that I had to forget the words after I used the computer for a long time. But now it is the Republic of China, not a modern day with simplified characters. Even if he clearly remembers how to write those words, he just can’t write them. Who made people use traditional characters? So at that time, there was always a dictionary on his desk. Every time I wrote something, I had to flip through the dictionary. The speed of reading files made him vomit three liters of blood...
Fortunately, he is now able to write traditional Chinese characters proficiently, but also has developed a good pen calligraphy, especially words like "read" and "agree". It is even more popular. Even if he scoops it out and prints a copybook, he has to rush to ask for it.
On this day, Roger was sitting in the office reviewing all kinds of documents sent from him. He wrote quickly, but the old Xu head Xu Menglong broke into the office without any hesitation and directly photographed a file bag on Roger's desk - isn't this delaying the normal work of Mr. Luo?
"What is this?" Roger put down the pen in his hand, carefully pressed the cap and placed it aside, then scooped through the file bag, bypassed the wire wrapped around it, took out the files inside and looked at it.
"Well... the Japanese actually wanted to bypass me, the real master, to negotiate with Nanjing? It's so whimsical. I think they're crazy." Roger smiled coldly and threw the information aside.
Xu Menglong also sneered and said, "The Japanese are always trying to get nails on our side, either hard or soft nails. All kinds of nails hit each other, and they will get bloody when they hit their heads. After all, we are not orthodox but just a local force. The central government is not on our side, so the Japanese want to transfer the battlefield and force the central government to sign a treaty that blocks our necks with them! If we don't admit it, we have to admit it, otherwise we will have to have a quarrel with Nanjing."
Roger nodded and said, "Yes, that's not just a choke. He wants us to never be reborn! The treaty-class battleships can only have two heavy cruisers, 4 light cruisers, 10 light aircraft carriers, and no amount of quotas is given at all. This is to make our Qiongya Navy a defensive navy. Just a few ships, what if we fight? And they are all the contract-type shrinking versions."
"Didn't people from other countries ignore the Japanese's slander? They just know that this kind of restriction is not reliable, so they don't follow the trouble." As he said that, Xu Menglong's brow frowned, "But I'm just worried that those people from Nanjing will follow the Japanese to make fun of them. It's not a day or two that they don't like us. If they really agree at once, we will really have a lot of trouble."
Roger shook his head: "Although the bones of Nankyo are a little soft, which one is not slick? For them, do we have ten, twenty battleships or two, and there is no difference? They can't handle it? What's the benefit of helping the Japanese to them, let alone being criticized by all kinds of abuses?
Although those people have enough shit on them, who would like to smear the body specifically for smearing shit and urine? And it is for the kind of thing that is of no benefit to them?
Moreover, even if they agree, will we agree obediently? Once they agree, they will be responsible for the treaty in the future. If we breach the contract, they will be the first to be unlucky!"
As it turned out, the Nankyo group did not have a fuel-efficient lamp. They were all Tai Chi masters and the pushers were able to master it. The next day, they sent back the news. They called back the Japanese negotiation request and directly issued an order, saying that all negotiation matters related to the "Naval Arms Restriction and Reduction" were fully handed over to the Navy Department for handling.
The Treaty on Restricting and Reducing the Navy's Arms is a matter for the Navy. It is strange that the Navy has no diplomatic department to deal with anything without a diplomatic department, but the Navy is also a central department after all. Such an order cannot be said at all.
But the so-called Navy Department is not Roger's territory? It was hit hard during the Middle East Road incident in the Northeast Navy, and it was completely lost after 9-18. Now, all the high-end navy in the Republic of China, except for the Thunder and Lightning School of Jiang's Zhongzheng, is the final decision of all the other high-end navy in Jiang's Zhongzheng. Compared with Roger's Qiongya Navy, the Thunder and Lightning School in Jiang's Zhongzheng's hands is really something worth mentioning...
Therefore, the negotiations were pushed back by Nanky's group of people, and Roger was also covered with a tiger skin, which could handle the negotiations legitimately.
Or, he can play Tai Chi with justification.
In fact, Roger was very sincere in negotiating the negotiations on the Treaty on Restricting and Reduction of Naval Arms. He could bargain all the conditions issued by the four European and American countries, because they set the tonnage ratio of Roger's Qiongya Navy and the Japanese Navy to 7 to 10, and also expressed that he could accept Roger's second batch of new battleships from the shipbuilding plan, but these battleships must be greatly weakened, and other contracting parties must also be allowed to build corresponding new battleships.
Roger has no objection to these terms. Although the current Qiongya Navy has some strength, it is far from reaching 70% of the tonnage of the Japanese Navy. Even when he finally planned to start a full war with Japan, he did not consider breaking the total tonnage of his navy beyond 70% of Japan's. It is not realistic that the time is too short and the shipbuilding ability is limited.
So the ratio of 7 to 10 is nothing like that. As for the restrictions on new battleships, since he does not plan to build battleships at all, even if they weaken the battleships into shallow water heavy gunboats, what's the matter with him?
The real problem is that the Japanese obviously disagree with this proportion. They desperately demanded that Qiongya give up most of the ships in the second batch of shipbuilding plans, because the negotiations were deadlocked.
If it weren't for Japan, the agreement would have been reached long ago!
Because of this, the four European and American countries are becoming more and more disgusted with Japan, a disobedient guy. If Japan had not launched a treaty, Qiongya would have definitely not signed the treaty. They really want to kick off Japan and sign a separate contract with Qiongya.
