Chapter 2478： How to end the battle

"We can't win the U.S.-German coalition. As for the Americans, we have at least 60% chance of winning. As for the last point, I don't think there is any need to think about it, right?" Yamamoto Gonbei touched his chin and thought.

"Hehe, we have a 60% chance of winning against the Americans alone? Why didn't I know that the Japanese Empire was so powerful?" Saiyuanji Gongwang's words were full of sarcasm. "Is it because our previous victories have swelled our navy's confidence? It's like blowing a balloon? It's a pity that it will explode with just one tap!"

"I think you should first think about a question rationally. Are the Americans really afraid of us if they don't do anything to us? Is it because we are strong?" Xiyuanji Gongwang is even a little bit dumbfounded now. I want to curse, do you guys have any compelling points in their hearts!

"Even if we are separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, we are still vulnerable to the United States. Do you understand what I mean?" Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said. "Your Excellency Yamamoto, you know the war history of the Imperial Japanese Navy very well? After all, you have personally experienced it. Can you tell me why we won the Japan-Qing war and why we won in the Philippines?"

"I can now remember the shadow and fear that the German armored cruiser named Mainz brought us during the Japanese-Qing war, and the shock that the Blue Army brought us in the land war afterwards. I think Everyone here should have a deep understanding?"

"There is also the Philippine naval battle, why did we win? What is the core? You should be very clear, right? Answer me, Lord Yamamoto Gonhei." Saienji said.

"Four Kasuga-class armored cruisers are the core of our victory. We won the war because of the help of the British and some luck factors. The victory of that war was really difficult. If our warships arrive later , Then everything is over." Yamamoto Quanhei said with a sigh. In fact, since the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese navy and army have properly become German fans... However, becoming a German fan also requires a certain degree of strength, at least the wallet must be enough! Look at the so-called XX fans in later generations, don't need real money to support idols, ashamed to say that they are fans?

However, it is a pity that the Japanese army decisively still cannot learn from the Germans. There is no way, the wallet is shy, and the navy is going farther and farther on the road of German fans because of its particularity! For example, after the Sino-Japanese War, in addition to buying two British second-class battleships, the Japanese decisively kneeled under the new German armored cruisers, and the British bought them with help...

Although later because of politics or other wishes, Japan did not obtain a regular warship from the Germans. But you must not underestimate the hard heart of the Japanese Navy! And all those who tried to challenge this unspoken rule, no matter who they were, would suffer more or less in the end, even the rightbei Yamamoto in front of them! Regarding Japan’s first-tier ultra-fearless choice, Japan originally had a choice. It could choose from the King Kong-class battlecruiser proposed by the British or a certain German warship. After all, although Germany would not sell it directly to Japan. , But Japan can also use the form of purchasing agent, just like the Kasuga-class armored cruiser.

However, for some special reasons, Yamamoto Kenbei finally chose the British King Kong-class battlecruiser. As for the latter, I won’t say much. Afterwards, under the operation of Yamaxian Yotomo, it was discovered that Yamamoto Gonhei’s bribery problem. (It seems to be mentioned earlier in this book, um.) And this also made Yamamoto Gonei lose his position as prime minister and was severely suppressed at one time.

Then, when designing the Fuso-class battleship, the Japanese would rather abandon the full set of drawings provided by the British, or purchase some drawings from the German takeaway battleship through various channels, and then use these drawings to create the Fuso-class. Battleship... It can be seen that the Japanese navy worships German warships very much. (For this description, please refer to Chapter 909 of this book.) And then, Fuso-class performance is really worthy of the Japanese contribution, so, now the Harder mood in the bones of the Japanese navy is stronger... Of course, Harder's pinnacle is naturally the clean beheading of the British fleet by the High Seas Fleet in the Norwegian Sea decisive battle. When faced with such an enemy, the Japanese naturally had no bottom in their hearts, even though the opponent had just sent a squadron!

"If only from the military point of view, we cannot defeat the Americans who are going all out. We don't need to do any deduction. Just think about the 6 South Dakota-class battleships equipped with 12 406MM artillery and 6 ships that are currently being prepared. As for the Lexington-class battlecruisers, we should know that Japan has no chance in the military. Isn’t it clear to you that the Empire’s future shipbuilding budget for the navy? It’s not bad that our fleet can maintain half the size of the United States. What you said is 70%, it is even more distant!" Said Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple.

"The Americans do have to cross the tens of thousands of miles to fight at our door but don’t forget that the US’s national power is several times ours, enough to make up for their disadvantage."

"Therefore, we can only choose the third point, that is, when Germany and Britain are willing to suspend the war, we can withdraw from the battlefield, otherwise, even if Germany is neutral, the ultimate victor of our war with the United States will not be We." Said Gongwang Xiyuan Temple.

"However, the Germans refused to negotiate, refused to contact, and we could not accept the conditions they offered. The Germans intend to deal with us like the British! We can't sit still!" Yamamoto Gonhei said.

"The Germans did reject official negotiations, but they did not refuse to contact. At least our Minister of Foreign Affairs Taka Kato has already seen some clues from the actions of the Germans." Saiyuanji Gongwang let the navy and army leaders present at the scene. Zhen, to be honest, if it is not a last resort, no high-level Japanese army is willing to have trouble with the Germans, whether it is the navy or the army!

"Before, we established contacts with some high-level members of the German government, and established indirect contact with the Grand Duke of Baden. The Grand Duke of Baden once tried the Bavarian tone. Although the latter refused to negotiate with us, but Did not interfere with the British government's sales of arms and technology to us. This is also the most critical point for us to do business with the British." Kato said.
