The Rise of the Empire

"This is not necessarily the case. I think the news of your arrival in Munich should have reached Russia. The hotel where you are staying is just across the street from the Russian representative office in Bavaria. I will wait and see what price the Russians offer. " Prince Ruprecht said disapprovingly.

"It is impossible for the Russians to buy back these two warships. The dignity of a big country and the attitude of the French make this deal unrecoverable. Taking a step back, even if the Russians want to buy them back, you can pay the price of 700,000 pounds." Can you accept it?" Mutsu Munemitsu immediately retorted.

"I can't understand what you can understand?" Prince Ruprecht glanced at the other party with eyes like an idiot. "The Russians won't buy this warship, but it doesn't mean that the Russians will sit back and watch this warship fall into the hands of the Japanese, right? You are not the only participants? There are still 3 players in this game! Spain and You are just as determined to win!"

"Well, isn't Spain short of money? It doesn't matter. The Russians can borrow money. The Russians have no money, so the French can borrow money. What the French care about is that these two warships cannot fall into the hands of the Russians. He doesn't care about it, and the loan can earn interest. France, a usury country, will not give up on this deal, two, do you think this is the truth? Of course, you don't have to believe it, it doesn't matter, we can wait!" His Royal Highness's words are sharp! Like a long sword, it pierced the self-confidence of the two people on the opposite side into a sieve!

"This is a monster!" If he hadn't done exorcism before, Mutsu Munemitsu almost wanted to stick a spell or something on the opponent's face! This guy is too good! Not to mention that the verbal attack was ineffective, but he pushed himself into a corner. It is obvious that the talks cannot go on now, and Mutsu Munemitsu subconsciously seems to stop the negotiations, but will Ruprecht give him this chance? Obviously not!

"Think about it, both of you. The terms you are offering now are not attractive at all. After you go back, quickly ask the country for instructions, and then we will talk about it. I can still decide what is going on now. If the Russians pass the German Central Committee If the government intervenes, then everything will be hard to say. At that time, it may not matter if I earn less, but the plans of Britain and Japan may have problems, right?" Prince Ruprecht's words at this time can already be threatened Two words to describe it.

"Isn't 820,000 pounds all right? We ask for only one. If other countries' quotations are lower than ours, I hope you can follow the principle of a businessman to execute this transaction." After Mutsu Munemitsu said these words, he felt himself My heart is bleeding! The buzzing in his head almost made him faint. Even the insider of this matter knows very well that this business must be concluded, even if he knows that the other party is going to slaughter Japan, he must endure it!

To some extent, Japan has no way out, because Russia has already intervened this time. Who knows what decision Nicholas II will make in the end? As Ruprecht said, Bavaria's loss is nothing more than a little less money. And if Japan loses, it may be on the luck of the country! The unstable factor of Russia is too scary. No one dared to risk it.

"You are playing with fire, you are challenging the British Empire!" Lord Hamilton did not expect things to turn out like this! Immediately, he said angrily.

"The British Empire is terrible. But I want to say that His Majesty Frederick III is also very dissatisfied with your country's previous actions. What do you think the British Empire will do? I am looking forward to your country's support to Germany and Russia. Pressure from the two royal families." His Royal Highness's eyes were full of disdain. Everyone knows the bad things the British did in the Sino-Japanese War. The aftermath of this incident has not yet passed. What extravagant move do you want to make in Europe? Is it true that other big countries in the European continent are made of mud?

His Royal Highness almost said: "Try if you have the ability!" Of course, if the British Prime Minister is sitting opposite, it would be interesting to say that,

Just a Lord of the British Navy, what can he do if he is really angry? It doesn't mean anything. Ruprecht is a bit uninterested in opponents of this level. Too broiler!

"In addition, let me tell you a secret. The Russian ambassador to Germany has already asked me about the whereabouts of these two warships through private channels. You should hurry up, or you will lose everything if it is too late!"

"Since everyone is negotiating a business, you have to take advantage of it. Don't try to use some kind of pressure to force me to submit. You don't represent the British Empire. And Japan can't put any pressure on me, so put away your ridiculousness Let’s face up to this negotiation.” After finishing speaking, Prince Ruprecht signaled that the negotiation between the two is over, and you can leave. Afterwards, His Royal Highness got up and left the venue, ignoring the British and Japanese representatives present.

"If the Russians intervene, things will be troublesome. Compared with this trouble, spending a little more money is really not a problem." Lord Hamilton whispered.

"Understood, maybe we still need to rely on the power of other countries." Mutsu Munemitsu sighed. His current mood was actually far worse than he showed, and he seemed to feel that Ruprecht already knew something. And if the prince announces what he knows, it will definitely trigger an event that can shake the world! The price is too high.

"Actually, the United States does not want Russia to be too powerful. At the same time, the United States will not allow these two warships to fall into the hands of the Spaniards. You are right, we should unite the majority of people." Lord Hamilton said thoughtfully.

The conflict between the United States and Spain is now well known. The two sides fought over the West Indies. Although there is still a cold war between each other, the Americans are certainly unwilling to make the Spanish fleet stronger. The fact that Dewey came to Germany some time ago did not hide from the eyes and ears of the British. At this time, the Americans sent a person who was old with His Royal Highness to come here and figure out what to do with their knees.

The lord is very clear that he and the Japanese government must be at a disadvantage if they want to fight against Russia, and he is performing this task in a private capacity. The Russians take the official status. The relationship between Frederick III and Britain was not good, but the relationship with Russia was not bad. After all, the breaking of the contract was aimed at Bavaria, and Prussia had no influence. If the Russians insist on asking the German government to intervene and are willing to pay some benefits, the two warships may really be eaten by the Spaniards. From the current point of view, this situation is not what Britain, Japan, and the United States want to see.
