    Super Continental Power Chapter 741 Limited Support

    Steady thinks so. He believes that even if China wins, they will only regain their sovereignty over the Liaodong Peninsula and Taiwan Island.  ©¦£§s£§

    North Korea is too close to Japan, and it is related to Japan's lifeline. It is impossible for them to give up North Korea. The Chinese know this very well, so Steide believes that the reason why China wants to attack the Korean Peninsula is not to help the Korean people as they themselves claim.  Liberate, or take the opportunity to control the Korean Peninsula, they are just fighting for the autonomy to negotiate with Japan.

    The Chinese do not have a powerful navy and cannot expand overseas, so the threat is even more limited.  Not to mention that they now need China's power to contain the Red Soviet regime and the expansionist and powerful Japan.

    Now that the European War is about to end, the United States, as the biggest beneficiary of the European War, not only has domestic industry and commerce prospered, but also has a rising great power mentality.  There is now a group of people in the United States, mainly members of Congress, Monroe supporters, arms dealers, and soldiers. They are shouting for mobilization and demanding that the federal government pay attention to Japan's threat to the United States.

    Indeed, ever since Japan occupied Germany's Pacific colonies and moved its fleet closer to the west coast of the United States, dissatisfaction and hostility toward Japan in the United States have become increasingly serious.  In 1916, Japan expanded into Southeast Asia and occupied the Dutch East Indian colonies, and then suddenly formed a siege on the American Philippine colonies.  This move has long stung the nerves in the United States. If the United States had not been dragged into the quagmire of the European War at this time, I am afraid that the world's third-largest navy would have made another trip to Asia.

    After several years of investment, the United States has now invested nearly 700 million U.S. dollars in private and government investment. More than 90% of the debt issued by the Republic of China has been purchased by the United States.  In the eyes of many major powers, it was the United States' continuous investment that provided development impetus for the newly emerging Republic of China in the past few years.

    Now, although I don¡¯t know what kind of guarantee the Republic of China has made to the United States, this time, it is obvious that the United States is once again preparing to stand behind the Republic of China.

    The United States and Japan are both members of the Allied Powers and should remain outsiders and neutral according to international law.

    However, just two days ago, after consultations between the Republic of China's Ambassador to the United States and the US government, the US government has announced that it will postpone the US$21 million of Republic of China debt that is due this year until the end of 1920. At the same time, it will re-establish the debt at the lowest international public debt tax rate.  Purchase water conservancy construction bonds issued by the Republic of China with a total value of up to 30 million US dollars.

    ?????????What is a public bond for water conservancy construction? No one in the big powers knows.  This debt arose during the Sino-Japanese Shandong War in 1914. Although it was intended to prepare funds for the development and construction of water conservancy in the Republic of China, in fact more than 70% of the funds prepared were used for military construction in the Republic of China. The United States once again increased its national debt for water conservancy construction.  At the same time, it accepted a large number of orders for arms products from the Republic of China, and stated that it could be transported by the U.S. commercial fleet. This was undoubtedly a challenge to Japan.

    The tendency of the U.S. government is even more obvious without asking.

    The United States has made a statement, and Balt and others can only immediately negotiate with their respective countries.  The European war has reached this point, and the traditional European powers are exhausted. Although there are signs of victory, it will be difficult for them to win without the help of the United States.

    Therefore, at this time, they have no more room for choice.  After a short and intense study and consultation, the European powers finally released their latest attitude towards their Chinese diplomats, trying to maintain the same attitude as the United States and provide limited support to China.

    It goes without saying that it¡¯s just like Japan¡¯s expansion into the Pacific that stung the nerves of Americans.  The Japanese expansion into Southeast Asia and the Indochina Peninsula also stung the nerves of the British and French respectively.

    As early as 1916, when Japan occupied the Dutch East India Colony, there were many voices in Britain that wanted to send a fleet to teach Japan a lesson.  In the past two years, Japan and Siam on the Indochina Peninsula have become closer and closer. The Japanese have continued to provide military and economic penetration to this country that has considerable hostility and resentment towards Britain, France, and China.  Not only are the United Kingdom and China very wary of Thailand's changes, France, which is bearing the brunt, is even more furious. The French ambassador to Japan has warned Japan more than once to be careful about playing with fire.

    Bart has a good impression of Li Han. He admires this young president of the Republic of China who is determined and has excellent diplomatic skills, but his good impression is only out of selfishness.  After all, he still remembered his identity as a diplomat. As a British ambassador to China who was deeply wary and concerned about Li Han and this country, the best outcome of a total war between China and Japan would be for both countries to lose, leaving Britain with its left hand.  The fisherman's advantage was to regain leadership of the Far East.  In his opinion, it is definitely not a good sign for the United States to intervene in Far Eastern affairs, at least not for Britain, which is eager to return to the Far East after the war in Europe!

      ¡°After experiencing the devastation of the European War, the decline of the British Empire and the French Republic was a foregone conclusion. Countless wealth was consumed by the war, and countless gold benefits continued to flow to the New World, and even the Far East.  The center of the world. The empire needs to be vigilant. The Far East in the future may no longer belong to London The rise of the New World is unstoppable!"

    Bart thought silently in his heart. After a long time, he finally stood up reluctantly and smiled with an unclear meaning.

    "Your Excellency, as the plenipotentiary diplomatic representative of the Government of the British Empire in China, I only represent the British Empire to convey London's wishes to your country. Our government respects your country's sovereignty and choice, and promises not to interfere between your country and the Empire of Japan.  war between your country and the Japanese Empire. However, the conflict between your country and the Japanese Empire must remain within the controllable scope of international law Of course, our government will also abide by the principle of neutrality. If your country can agree to these claims, our British Empire will guarantee  , during the war between the two countries, if your country needs it, our country can continue to provide military supplies for your country. Of course, we in the British Empire still hope that this war can be resolved in some peaceful way"

    The atmosphere at the venue suddenly cooled down. Li Han squinted his eyes slightly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.  He understood what the British ambassador meant. Although the British were influenced by the United States, they still wanted to return to the Far East after the war.  Therefore, the attitude of the British is obvious. They adhere to neutrality and can even continue to provide military supplies for the Republic of China war.  Similarly, I'm afraid the British also made the same promise to Japan.

    By doing this, the British clearly hope that the war between China and Japan will exhaust their bones and blood. Perhaps their most expected result is that both countries will suffer losses and the Far East will return to British leadership after the war.

    As for international law, it only warns China not to apply unrestricted submarine warfare to British cargo ships. It also warns China to respect British privileges and urges China to recognize the benefits that Britain has gained through various unequal treaties in the past.

    ??Cunning British!

    He cursed secretly in his heart, but there was no change of emotion on his face. Politicians are the best actors in the world.

    The Republic of China has a long way to go to rise, and Li Handa knew this from the beginning.
