The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2323 Core Issue Three

"Mr. Prime Minister, your words are a bit presumptuous. Although your country is our ally, the affairs of the empire cannot be criticized by outsiders. Whether it is the northern line against Russia or the southern line, the empire has shed too much blood and paid too much. We have paid so much today, so we will never give up easily, and we will pay more in the future to keep our achievements!" Kikujiro Ishii said sharply.

Someone may ask, why did the British choose to persuade Japan to stop its offensive against Russia at this time? The reason is simple, the continent of Europe is too small to accommodate the two great powers of Germany and Russia at the same time! Russia failed this time, but it does not mean that there is no chance of a comeback. The Allied Powers system has collapsed, but it does not mean that Britain will give up establishing friendly relations with the new Russian regime so that they can join forces again in a future war! Therefore, under such circumstances, Britain naturally does not want the Japanese to push forward and cause trouble for the newborn Russia in the Far East.

If I go into more detail, it is that the British government wants to establish contact with Russia’s Kolchak through the Japanese line, and try to help the latter establish a government. After all, Kolchak is more suitable in terms of experience and political orientation. British demand! Of course, this is the highest goal. In fact, it is not easy for the Japanese to limit their attacks on Russia and retreat properly.

"I can't promise you this matter. It's beyond the scope of our negotiations. The talks between me and you only involve the relationship and cooperation between Britain and Japan, not any third party. And I need to remind you, In this world, apart from Britain, the engines of the French and Italians can actually make do. The French also need to cut down a lot of armaments. Since the Germans don’t interfere with your country’s export of armaments to us, they will naturally not interfere with France. People. Do you think this is the case?" Ishii Kikujiro said firmly.

"It seems that it is difficult for us to reach an agreement on this issue?" Prime Minister Asquith said with some regret.

"It's not just this issue, we also can't reach an agreement on the issue of India. It is impossible for the Japanese Empire to work for your country for free. The bargaining chip in your hand is not enough to make the Japanese Empire submit." Taking advantage of the British's attitude loosening, Ishii Kikujiro wanted to make persistent efforts, continue to fight back, and take the situation back into his own hands. However, what the Japanese can think of, the British can naturally think of too! Facing the counterattack of the Japanese, the British were fully prepared.

"French? If it's a pure aero engine, the French can indeed provide some. Although their products are at most mid-range in the eyes of the British Empire, they are advanced enough for your country." Asquith said barbed. On the opposite side, Ishii Kikujiro also had an indifferent expression, as if he was very calm.

"But there are some things that the French cannot provide to your country after all. As the most technologically advanced country in the world, there are some things that are unique, and these things have a decisive effect on the fate of your country. In this regard, we Still occupying an absolute advantage! For example, V1500, for example, an aircraft carrier! Do you know what I mean?" Prime Minister Asquith said.

"This...it is true." A drop of cold sweat fell from Ishii Kikujiro's head. In the vast Pacific Ocean, large bombers are indispensable. Their powerful endurance and attack power are irreplaceable in both attack and battlefield reconnaissance. There may not be too many of these things in demand, but having and not having them are really two different things! The status of V1500 in World War 1 is equivalent to B29 in World War 2!

And how many countries in the world can mass-produce heavy bombers and have a lot of experience in using them? But only two,

One is England and the other is Germany! Considering that it is impossible for Germany to export the overly sensitive K8 bomber to Japan, if the Japanese want to make up for the shortcomings of long-range reconnaissance and attack, they can only find the British, neither the French nor the Italians! What? You mean the Russian Ilya bomber? Although this thing is a 4-shot bomber, its weight is only equivalent to the British FB27 level, so forget it.

Compared with history, Japan in this plane is stronger, and the coverage of its homeland and colonies is also larger. Whether it is from the ambition of the Japanese navy or the objective needs, the Japanese really need something like the V1500. large aircraft. But before that, the Japanese had almost zero skills and experience!

If you talk about heavy bombers, the Japanese gritted their teeth and said that they would not play if they couldn't afford it, but the aircraft carrier really couldn't just let it go! As a new type of capital ship, the performance of the German aircraft carrier squadron in the Norwegian Sea battle can be described as brilliant! It was precisely because of the explosive attack of the carrier-based aircraft that the British Grand Fleet collapsed in a very short period of time! Even the British fleet can't withstand the attack, can the Japanese navy resist the wave of outbreaks? Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, the Japanese Navy must develop its own aviation targets and develop a set of tactics!

To be honest, it is not too difficult to build an aircraft carrier in this era, and it is not difficult to equip it with carrier-based aircraft. After all, biplanes in this era generally have good take-off and landing performance.... It is rare to build well and have your own tactical system, and the latter requires time and the accumulation of wars! Well, in this era, who are the pioneers of sea-based aviation? In fact, there are 2 and a half countries in total!

Germany is naturally the strongest. They used absolutely overwhelming aviation power to take down the British fleet in the Norwegian sea battle. Next is the UK! Although the British took a lot of detours, they are quite accurate in cognition at the last moment! Before the battle, it fully realized the importance of large-scale concentrated use of carrier-based aircraft. Of course, this last-minute epiphany did not sublimate into actual combat power! The British have no time or energy to complete the final sublimation of their aircraft carrier fleet! To apply a certain kind of fantasy, that is, the realm has reached!

As for the remaining half? That, of course, is the U.S. Navy! After all, there were U.S. naval observers in the later wars of the German Navy, and according to Japanese intelligence, in the final Norwegian Sea decisive battle, the Americans actually dispatched an aircraft carrier to fight. Of course, because of the number of aircraft on board, It mainly undertook the air defense mission and did not perform the attack mission. Therefore, the U.S. Navy is considered half of them. It belongs to the kind that has been gestured on the battlefield and studied in theory, but it is still far behind the professionals!
