Well, let's vote on the proposal made by German last time to establish the naval tonnage according to the national strength of each country!"
After persuading the France and Italians in private, the British were full of confidence and directly proposed to vote on the proposal made by Ribbentrop at the beginning of the second meeting.
In the eyes of the British, if they voted now, they would have at least three votes, and the strength of the Japan people was not strong.
If the proposal of German was passed, the interests of the Japan would definitely be damaged, so the British had already acquiesced that the Japan people stood on their side.
If the Japan people stood on their side, it would be 4:2. Even if the America people were persuaded by German, they could still veto the proposal of German' representative with their absolute advantage. The
British had a good idea in their minds, but when the actual vote began, they were dumbfounded!
"33!"
The Japan people actually sided with German and America?
What's going on?
Did the Japan people take the wrong medicine?
Don't they know how much they have?
If the quotas of various countries were to be redistributed according to the plan proposed by the German people, the Japan people might not even get as much as Italy!
"Consul Muto, are you sure you didn't vote wrong?"Consul Muto, are you sure you did n't vote wrong?" The British Consul was unwilling to accept this and questioned the representative Muto Yu who voted in favor. They questioned whether he voted wrong. The representative Muto Yu's English was poor and his spoken English was heavy, so it was often difficult for everyone to understand what he said. Over time, a stereotype was formed that the representative Muto Yu's English was not good.
But in fact, as he could serve as the ambassador of the British Consul to the British Consul, Muto Yu's English was definitely not bad.
The British Consul thought that he had made a mistake and voted for the affirmative instead of the negative. This was a naked humiliation to him!
Muto Yu's face turned red with anger and he angrily said,"I can tell the difference between yes and no!"
This sentence was said coldly, which made the representative of the British Sun hit a hard nail and embarrassed.
He smiled awkwardly, complaining in his heart, what kind of magic potion has the Japan people been fed? It was strange enough to stand on German' side, and it was even stranger that their attitude was so firm. What was going on? The representative of the British Sun looked at Ribbentrop with some doubts. Ribbentrop looked calm and wise, not in a hurry, and didn't mind the draw at all.
Anyway, it's just a matter of delaying time, just keep delaying! If voting doesn't work once, then do it a few more times. It's no problem to vote hundreds of times. Maybe after delaying for a while, German's battleship brigade will be established!
In that case, he can be regarded as having made a contribution to the country!
"Ahem, since it has been expressed for the first time, let's not discuss this matter for the time being, and let's improve the other clauses in the treaty!" The
British-Sun People's thoughts were not much the same as German's, and they did not think there was anything wrong with this passage. On the contrary, they felt that it was still a relief for them if it was not passed at this time, because in this way, they at least had time to communicate privately with the Japan and even the America to see if they could save these two countries and regain their support! The British
-Sun People's hearts had little confidence in the America, they knew that the original Washington City Treaty had harmed the America, and German' proposal was obviously extremely beneficial to the powerful America, so whether it was out of interests From an emotional perspective, the America is more likely to stand on German' side and support German' proposal!
Therefore, the target that the British Sun wants to win over is actually the Japan!
As long as they can use reason and emotion to win over the Japan, they can reject German' proposal!
While the British Sun was secretly planning to win over the Japan, Ribbentrop was also thinking about whether to win over the France and Italians! The France and German are sworn enemies, so it is difficult to win over the France, but the conflict between Italy and German is not easy. There are relatively few shields, so it is much easier to win them over than Gaul, so it is possible to succeed!
And once it succeeds, Ribbentrop's proposal may be passed, which is naturally very beneficial to German!
So, after the meeting of the day, the British Sun and German took the same action at the same time: they went to contact Jiaoben and Italy respectively!
After the British Sun representative met Muto Yu, he found that the other party's attitude towards him was not as polite as before.
He thought that the other party was still angry about what happened during the day. It was indeed his troops who laughed at Jiaoben's English level, but it was difficult for him, a noble white man, to apologize to the yellow people.
The white people still have a strong sense of superiority in their bones. In addition, the British Sun has always been Jiaoben's teacher. They have always looked at Jiaoben from a high position, so they have a little contempt for Jiaoben in their hearts!
In addition, this is the territory of the British Sun, so it is really hard for them to apologize to Jiaoben.
Therefore, even if they know why the other party is angry, the British Sun representative can only pretend not to know
"Muto, why did you stand on German' side and vote in favor during the day? Can you explain this matter?"
The British Empire not only did not apologize, but even gave orders to the Japan People in a condescending manner. This kind of commanding question made Muto Xiong very unhappy! The
British Empire is too arrogant!
Muto Xiong clenched his fists and swore in his heart that he must make the British Empire pay the price for his arrogance!
"Humph, do we need to obey your arrangements when we do things? Or do you think that you can manipulate our government at will?"
This can be said to be quite impolite. His anger is several times greater than before!
The representative of the British Empire was stunned for a moment. This atmosphere feels a little wrong? Did the representative of the Japan eat gunpowder?
Why is he so angry?
This guy was not like this before?
The representative of the British Empire and Muto Yu are old acquaintances. Muto Yu has become the ambassador of the Japan to the British Empire since 1916. From that time on, the two sides began to know each other and started dealing with each other!
From 1916 to now, seven years have passed. In the impression of the representative of the British Empire, the Japan representative has always been polite to him, and can even be said to be obedient. When has he ever had such a bad attitude as now?
He didn't know that the reason why the Japan man had such a bad attitude was, on the one hand, because his previous attitude was not good, and Muto Yu had long been unable to stand him! On the other hand, it was also related to the information revealed by Ribbentrop before!
The information revealed by Ribbentrop According to reports, the British have up to 150 billion tons of iron ore reserves in their colonies in Australia, which accounts for about 27% of the world's iron ore reserves. It can be said that they are the world's largest iron ore storage country!
So much iron ore is too attractive for the local area, which does not even have 10 million tons of iron ore!
If they can take this place, then the iron ore problem that has been bothering them before will no longer be a problem! Their steel production can even exceed German and America, becoming the world's largest industrial country!
However, the premise of all this is that they need to take Australia and turn it into their colony!
But Australia is under the control of the British at this time. If they want to do this, the British will first oppose it, so they must first defeat the British before they can get what they want!
Therefore, under the temptation of hundreds of billions of iron ore, Muto Xiong's attitude towards the British naturally became hostile!
