The next day, while talking with Kuman, the Russian Minister to Hawaii, Zhang Yunfei vaguely proposed Russia's attitude on the issue of the war against Japan.

Kuman told Zhang Yunfei very bluntly that if Zhang Yunfei fought against Japan, Russia would dispatch the Far East fleet to restrain Japan from distracting Japan's attention in the north, providing Zhang Yunfei with feasible opportunities.

Zhang Yunfei was very happy. He was worried that Russia would watch Zhang Yunfei go to war with Japan and took the opportunity to stumbling Zhang Yunfei, because once Japan was defeated by Zhang Yunfei, then Russia's enemy would be Zhang Yunfei. However, it seemed that these Russians were very arrogant and arrogant, so naturally they could not have thought of Zhang Yunfei's idea of ​​their country. This undoubtedly gave Zhang Yunfei a reassurance. Japan will definitely be at a disadvantage and passive. As long as Japan distracted its energy, it would give Zhang Yunfei the opportunity to defeat each of them.

When the two shook hands and met with each other cordially, Zhang Yunfei clearly replied that the Russian minister Kuman was determined to fight against Japan.

After silenced the British Minister of Naval Affairs, Lord John Abbasnot Fisher, for three days, Zhang Yunfei finally met him.

As a British Minister of Naval Affairs, Lord Fisher was obviously dissatisfied with Zhang Yunfei's approach, believing that this was an insult to him and an insult to the British Empire.

So as soon as he saw Zhang Yunfei, he immediately questioned:

"Mr. Zhang, I am very puzzled by your approach!"

Zhang Yunfei just smiled at Fisher's questioning.

"oh!"

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei seemed to have not understood what he meant yet, Lord Fisher said:

"Why did you delay for three days until the end of the day?"

"I don't think so. I think putting your country at the end is respect for you! There is an old Chinese saying that "good show is behind", which means that."

Seeing Zhang Yunfei making a quibble, Lord Fisher directly retorted:

"This is not your style. The first person you receive is the most important person!"

Knowing that Fisher was expressing his dissatisfaction with his intentional neglect of him, but so what?

Zhang Yunfei doesn't care at all, he can't look back and forth anymore. At this critical period, he must take the initiative and be tough when it should be tough.

"Okay, Lord. Let's stop arguing about this little thing. Don't you think your current emotions will affect your noble image?"

Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Yunfei's words, Fisher, the British man who was desperate to save face, immediately regained his gentlemanly demeanor.

"I am still dissatisfied with your actions. Is this how you treat your allies?"

Oh my god, do you have the nerve to mention allies?

"It is because of my ally that I want to ask Lord Lord, why did your country deliberately postpone the completion of my warship? Not only did your country not respect the treaty of alliance, but also breached the contract on the warship contract!"

Uh! Lord Fisher obviously felt Zhang Yunfei's changes.

In a questioning tone, Zhang Yunfei used a questioning tone to the British representative for the first time.

Why? What suddenly made Zhang Yunfei deliberately please change his attitude towards Britain?

Lord Fisher was surprised. He knew that Zhang Yunfei was now a popular commodity in the hands of various countries and wanted to win him over. Zhang Yunfei also took this opportunity to develop himself, and now he is getting richer.

The British government attaches great importance to Zhang Yunfei's military strength growth. This time I came here to examine his military strength and see if it can serve as a major help for Britain in the Pacific and to relieve the pressure on Britain.

Because now in South Africa, under the instigation of gold mine capitalists, the British government tried to occupy Transvaal and annex the Boer territory in order to control all mining areas.

In order to safeguard their interests, the Boers moved closer to Germany and prepared to fight against the armed invasion of Britain.

The situation there is tense now, and Germany is constantly sending instructors and weapons and ammunition assistance to the Boers. Britain is very afraid of Germany's land military strength.

To this end, Lord Fisher's purpose in coming to Hawaii also saw whether he could mobilize Zhang Yunfei's army to be deployed to the upcoming African battlefield.

After watching the military parade, Fisher's determination was deepened, and he must use the alliance relationship to get Zhang Yunfei to send troops to help.

But he never expected that Zhang Yunfei would first meet representatives from other countries, especially Germany's new Navy Minister Alfred von Tirpitz, which made Fisher worried.

Now seeing Zhang Yunfei's obvious attitude changes, Fisher has already felt that Zhang Yunfei must have received the interests of Germany and other countries. He knows too well these politicians who have no interests and cannot get up early. As long as there is enough interests, there is absolutely nothing they dare not do.

"His lord is joking. The British Empire has always attached great importance to the agreements with you and the agreements on shipbuilding contracts. As for what you said deliberately delaying the completion time, I think it is a misunderstanding. I will notify the Admiralty Department to investigate the matter immediately and will give you a satisfactory reply!"

Lord Fisher's attitude of reproaching really made Zhang Yunfei feel a little happy.

It seems that it will be effective if you are tough. No wonder you British people went crazy during World War II, and Japanese soldiers chased them from behind. Is bullying the weak and fearing the strong?

"Since you said that, I have to wait for your country's reply. However, I have one thing that I just can't figure it out!"

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei asked about the shipbuilding temporarily, Lord Fisher replied happily: "Please!"

"I just can't figure it out! Since we are already allies, you should also know that a battle between me and the Japanese is a foregone conclusion. But why are you still standing on two boats? This is very unfavorable to your country!"

Zhang Yunfei directly expressed his questions.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei telling it so bluntly, Lord Fisher simply didn't hide it, but actually couldn't hide it from Zhang Yunfei, so he said:

"Since you ask, I will talk about the intentions of our government!"

Fisher later stated the UK's policy between Japan and Zhang Yunfei.

It turned out that Britain supported Japan in hopes that Japan and the Qing Dynasty could compete with Russia together, but unexpectedly, Japan had the idea of ​​the Qing Dynasty.

Knowing that the war between the Qing and Japan was inevitable, Britain gave Japan's bottom line of war and was not allowed to attack the Qing territory south of Shanghai. If it could occupy North Korea, Britain would strongly support Japan.

However, Japan was arrogant and Zhang Yunfei took advantage of the loophole, causing Japan to cease war due to lack of war resources. However, it achieved Britain's goal of occupying North Korea and attacking Russian forces.

But before he was happy, Japan was driven out of North Korea by an intervention group composed of Russia, France and Germany. The British were stunned because he did not expect Russia to fight back with a strong counterattack, and it would not be possible for them to lose money. Not to mention Japan, even Britain could not offend the Three Kingdoms at the same time.

So Britain ignored Japan's hard work and was in a difficult situation. The United Kingdom had to express something to Japan and borrowed loans to Japan again to maintain Japan to restrain Russia.

Unfortunately, Japan, the war maniac, slapped Britain again and prepared to kill Russia, because Russia's occupation of North Korea became the biggest obstacle to Japan's advance into the mainland.

In order not to lose all investment in the UK, the UK had to accept Japan as accused of Japan, and at the same time, it also wanted to stabilize the knife of the Japanese backyard.

Therefore, the UK slowed down the completion progress of Zhang Yunfei's warship and delayed the date as much as possible.

Lord Fisher's explanation Zhang Yunfei understood that it was just a balanced trick?

However, this balance must be broken for Zhang Yunfei.

"I don't want your country to continue to step on two ships in this matter. What Japan can do for your country is nothing more than stopping the Russian forces in the north. And I can completely replace Japan, and I will even do better than him. If I return to China, I believe that it will be much better than Japan in deterrence against Russia."

Zhang Yunfei stared at Lord Fisher and continued: "In addition, I want to tell you one thing, which is also an obligation as an ally. Except for your country, no country supports Japan!"

Of course, the British government had thought about using Zhang Yunfei to replace Japan, but Britain had been dragged into the quagmire by Japan. The British were afraid of losing all his money, so they had to continue to fill this bottomless pit.

Britain's original intention was to let Zhang Yunfei restrain Japan in the Pacific, so that Japan would not dare to start a war against Russia rashly. Russia also had no need to attack Japan first, because Russia's power in the Pacific was not enough to fight against Britain. In this way, the Far East would maintain a delicate balance.

But all this is about to change. Any country understands his purpose when Zhang Yunfei's big moves in Hawaii. The war against Japan is inevitable. All countries are trying to win over Zhang Yunfei, with a clear goal, and they want to get a share of the pie in the war or after the war. Especially Germany, which is now causing trouble for Britain everywhere around the world, and naturally supports Zhang Yunfei to attack Japan to attack Britain.

Now Zhang Yunfei's words are very clear, and countries have turned to Zhang Yunfei on the issue of Japan.

It seems that Zhang Yunfei already has an absolute advantage in the war against Japan, and it is understandable that his attitude suddenly becomes tough.

"It seems that your determination is certain, but I want to ask, what level do you plan to make? Our country has invested a lot of money in Japan, hoping not to harm our country's interests!"

Seeing Lord Fisher letting go, Zhang Yunfei naturally had to go down the pole.

"Please rest assured that I just defeated the Japanese joint fleet so that it would not pose a threat to me at sea for a period of time. In order to safeguard the interests of my allies, I will not invade troops!"

Zhang Yunfei brags shamelessly, at most he just lets Britain appreciate it. After all, it is not the time to offend Britain.

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei only controlled the war at sea, Lord Fisher was relieved in his helplessness. He only destroyed the Japanese navy, which would not cause much damage to Britain's interests, because in the future, Zhang Yunfei's navy would fill the gap in the Japanese navy in the Far East and far exceed the role of the Japanese navy.

"I will report to the government immediately. As for how the government decides, it is not something I can control. After all, I am just the Minister of Navy Affairs." Lord Fisher answered Zhang Yunfei after careful consideration.
