Become a feudal king from today

"Britain is really a friend worth trusting." Watanabe chuckled softly.

Jack said: "Of course, and our interests are currently consistent with Japan's interests."

Some time ago, Japan promoted King Yan's threat to him, but he didn't take it seriously, but was just a little wary.

But now, the King of Yan actually had more than thirty sailing warships, and he also destroyed the Japanese navy.

He couldn't ignore it.

Because this exceeds Britain's naval power in the east.

He must feedback this news to Governor Bolt and let him adjust Dongtu's strategy according to the situation.

After all, Britain's next strategy is to first tame the Liang family of Dasong, which is now the State of Wu, through war, so that Wu State, like Tianzhu, becomes a colony of Britain.

But if this King of Yan has the ambition to unify Dasong, they will have a conflict of interest.

Therefore, his agreement to the Watanabe case was ultimately for Britain's own benefit.

As the Watanabe case said, Japan was a dynasty with a population of 30 million in Eastern China.

At that time, there was a serious conflict with King Dasong Yan.

There is no doubt that Japan like this is very suitable as Britain's thug in the East.

After all, Britain is too far away from the east, which is not conducive to the war against King Yan.

But Japan can make up for this disadvantage.

Moreover, he was also worried that the King of Yan had built more than thirty warships in a short period of time.

He didn't believe that this King of Yan was just using it to deal with Japan.

If this King of Yan declares the same ownership of the New World as the Sam Kingdom when the country was founded, he declares ownership of the Eastern Territory and competes with them for the interests of the Eastern Territory.

Then Tianzhu, which is closer to Dasong, will be threatened.

Among Britain's many overseas assets, India is the most valued colony by Britain.

So when the Ross State's sphere of influence penetrated into China, Britain chose to encircle it everywhere, worrying that the Ross State would compete with them for their interests in Tianzhu.

Now, this King of Yan seems to be more of a threat than the Rus Kingdom.

He should be even more vigilant.

This temporarily suppressed his anger over the establishment of contacts between Japan and Sam Country.

However, he still decided to sow discord between Japan and Sam Country, so he said, "If Japan can cut off contacts with Sam Country, I believe Governor Bolt will be more willing to provide help to Japan."

When Watanabe went to the consulate, he thought of this question and already had the answer in his mind. He said: "We have no choice but to communicate with Sam Country. You must have heard the gunfire of Sam Country's warships. Now Japan already has an enemy like Dasong, and it is obviously unwise to provoke a powerful Sam country, unless Britain is willing to expel the Sam people. "

Jack was suddenly speechless. The meaning of the Watanabe case was very clear. He wanted them to use British forces to expel the Sam people.

This is of course impossible.

Sam's country has been independent from Britain for more than fifty years.

In order to suppress Sam's country at the beginning, they did wage war with Sam's country for decades.

However, due to the support of Frank, Stein and other countries for the Sam Kingdom, their encirclement and suppression failed.

After that, they had to recognize the Kingdom of Sam.

Now, although the relationship between Britain and Sam is still bad, the war between them has ceased, and sometimes there is cooperation in some common interests.

At the moment, it is impossible to go to war with the Sam people again for Japan.

Smiling awkwardly, he looked at Watanabe and found that there was a hint of cunning in Watanabe's eyes.

There was a burst of anger in his heart. It was obvious that the Watanabe case was between the Sam Country and the British Country, and both sides were seeking benefits.

But he had to admit that Watanabe was a smart man, and there was really nothing he could do about it.

Britain could not give up Japan.

Because it is obvious that Dasong is a greater threat than Japan.

Furthermore, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends between countries. The only eternal thing is interests.

The presence of Sam people in the East may not be a bad thing.

Perhaps they can find common interests again in dealing with Da Songguo.

After chatting casually for a few more words, Watanabe left the British Consulate and went to the Sam Consulate to meet with Elson.

After the last bombardment of Edo, Aielson stayed in Edo as the consul of the Sam Kingdom in Japan.

According to his understanding, among the Western Kingdoms, the output of sailing warships of the Sam Country ranks first. This is because the Sam Country has a large amount of high-quality wood.

Moreover, the route distance from Sam Country to Japan is shorter.

More importantly, since Sam Country was a newly established country, the goods sold for trade were cheaper.

He believed that Sam would be more willing to sell them warships.

However, Sam's firearms craftsmanship is still slightly inferior to that of Britain.

This is why he bought warships from Sam and muskets and artillery from the British.

"Consul Elson, once the King of Yan defeats the Yan coalition, the next step will be to cross Jiujiang and attack the Kingdom of Wu. I believe you will not want to see this King of Yan occupy the Kingdom of Wu, right?" Watanabe The case was deliberately provoked.

Aielson's face was a little pale, and the news that the Japanese navy was attacked by a sneak attack made him a little frightened.

Like Jack, he also didn't expect that the Yan King who praised the north would grow up so fast.

However, since there is no colony in the East for the time being, he is not as nervous and anxious as Jack.

However, during this period, in order to win over them and contain the British, Wu State gave them a lot of benefits in business and trade.

If King Yan conquers Wu, their commercial interests will be damaged, which he does not want to see.

And this rising King of Yan is indeed worrying.

Obviously, it will threaten the interests of the Western Territory countries in the Eastern Territory.

However, he saw no need to directly conflict with King Yan.

However, it is indeed necessary to hold a chess piece that can contain King Yan and implement a balance of power strategy.

Obviously, Japan is very suitable for this chess piece.

On the premise of not directly conflicting with the King of Yan, they can arm Japan and use Japan's fight with the great Song Yan King to gain greater benefits.

Thinking of this, he said: "I will report this matter to Congress. The general just needs to wait for the news."

The Watanabe case was a great success, and his lobbying went extremely smoothly this time.

Then, a bolder idea came to his mind.

It is not impossible to establish an alliance with Japan as the core and the participation of Beidi and Western countries.

The Japanese Navy was destroyed, and it was impossible to say that he was not afraid at all.

But if he can promote this alliance, King Yan will have to think about it if he wants to deal with them in Japan.
