But now the Admiralty in London hopes to use a condition for participating in the war that will be strongly opposed by the Chinese central and local governments in an attempt to gain more benefits from a local warlord, and even exchange for their "killer trumpet". This is almost impossible.

"Your Excellency, Minister, this is in the interests of the United Kingdom. If the United Kingdom can obtain this kind of aircraft, the strength of the Royal Navy will be strengthened. Preventing the Germans from obtaining the aircraft will avoid the fate of the Royal Navy and the Japanese Navy. Therefore, the Admiralty hopes that

You may consider this condition carefully."

If time had been urgent, the Navy would not have bypassed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and made this suggestion directly to the minister in China.

When the decision was made, the minister to China and the ambassador to Japan, who had received instructions from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had already begun their diplomatic activities in China and Japan.

"Indeed, this is indeed in the interests of the United Kingdom to a certain extent, but we must consider one factor, that is, whether this will arouse opposition from the Chinese, especially forcing the Chinese government to put pressure on private companies, will it

It will not affect other British policies. As the ambassador to China, I can make requests to the Chinese, but using it as a bargaining chip is an extremely unwise choice."

"Major Henrys, you must see one thing. Now because of this war, for the sake of long-term interests in Asia, we must change our attitude. Only in this way can we maintain the interests of the entire UK."

"But, Your Excellency, if the Germans get such an aircraft, it will mean a disaster for the Royal Navy."

disaster

Zhu Erdian frowned slightly. He knew that what Henrys said was true, but he also knew that many countries now want to exert their greatest influence in China at this time. Too many conditions will only push this country to other countries.
