Chapter 1282 Deal

"That's okay. The Japanese Army Air Force can send 4 squadrons of fighter jets, 1 squadron of reconnaissance aircraft and 1 squadron of bombers to participate in the Balkan war." Yamagata Aritomo thought for a while and said. Although he knew that Yamamoto Gonbei's motives were impure, he also believed that nothing would happen in the Balkans.

"Well, if the Navy doesn't show some expression in this regard, I'm afraid it will be a bit stingy. The Navy can dispatch a fighter squadron and a reconnaissance squadron." Yamamoto Gonbei also answered very simply.

"Okay then, I think we can go see the British. After we have invested our precious air force and armored forces, the British can no longer accuse us of being half-hearted." Today's exchange is too laborious, Matan, and Hai Meetings with army bosses are more tiring than talking to the British. Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple fell into deep helplessness.

"Then can you give me an accurate answer? Do you want our army to fight down the Dardanelles, or do you not want it?" Before leaving, Shanxian Youpeng asked.

"Let's talk about this when the time comes. I feel that this battle will not end so soon. We have plenty of time to decide this matter." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

Three days after the end of the parliament, Sir Fisher and General Valentine met with Japanese Prime Minister Katsura Taro and Saionji Konomo. Compared with the last time of being hypocritical and submissive, both sides were much more honest this time. The Japanese knew that they could not hide their little thoughts, since they could not break up with the British directly now. Then we must find ways to make up for it. The British also know that they must not really fall out with Japan at this time. Therefore, this time both parties never mentioned those unpleasant things.

"Our meeting today only needs to determine important things. Other details can be left to the people below to discuss. After all, we are all big shots and time is very tight. According to the information you provided, Britain and France plan to A massive offensive in the Dardanelles? Is that so?" Katsura asked.

"That's right, this is the fundamental reason why I came to Japan in person." Sir Fisher said.

"If you don't mind, I would like to know the direction of the attack in this battle. Should we go straight to Huanglong through the strait, or launch an attack from Greece and advance steadily towards Constantinople?" Katsura Taro asked.

"Two lines attack at the same time. Before June this year, we will celebrate the victory in Constantinople." Lieutenant General Valentine said on the side.

"In this case, Britain and France will need a large number of troops and heavy equipment. After all, north of Turkey is Bulgaria, and further north is Romania controlled by the Bavarian Army." Katsura Taro said.

"so,

Is the Japanese Empire planning to help here? asked Sir Fisher.

"We can take charge of the land offensive. Two divisions will be stationed in Greece, and then advance to Constantinople with the Greek Army from the land, and try to prevent the Allied reinforcements from the north." Katsura Taro said.

"There are only 50,000 people in the two divisions. It's simply not enough." Fisher frowned slightly and said. This is still one division away from his minimum standard!

"This makes me very embarrassed... With the size of Japan, after adding these two divisions, we have 6 divisions in Europe, nearly 140,000 troops, and nearly 100,000 workers. . Don’t forget that we still need to deploy a large number of troops in the Dutch East Indies to maintain local stability." Katsura Taro said.

"Haha, you've eaten enough, you deserve it!" Sir Fisher cursed in his heart. "However, we have paid for each of these people. You are not at a loss. Our loan is directly proportional to your country's contribution. If your country cannot pay more today when the war situation becomes increasingly severe, then Our next loan and related technical cooperation may have an impact."

"This is not friendly." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

"Effort and reward are always equal, right?" Fisher said with a smile.

"Well, if we increase our troops to three divisions and bring some weapons of our own, what price can you offer?" Katsura Taro said.

"Then the loan amount in the next period will not decrease." Fisher answered simply.

"What if we can add a tank wing and a certain amount of air force?" Katsura Taro continued to ask.

"A tank regiment?" Fisher really didn't know about this organization.

"It's equivalent to an armored brigade plus a tank battalion in an empire." Valentine whispered beside him. "The Japanese seem to have only one tank regiment in the country."

"So what are your additional requirements for doing this?" Valentin asked at Fisher's signal. When something goes wrong, there must be a monster! According to the intelligence obtained by Valentine, a tank regiment has approximately 7,000 to 8,000 officers and soldiers. Theoretically, it is equipped with 2 battalions of MK1 tanks, a total of 90 vehicles, and 1 battalion of Renault tanks for cover tasks. There will also be some armored vehicles and artillery. The "cost" of such a regiment has exceeded that of a Japanese army. Standing division, the Japanese made this request, obviously to retreat in exchange for more benefits.

"If Turkey is defeated, I hope we can obtain half of the mining rights of the Ottoman Turkish Empire's oil fields in the Mesopotamia. You two should understand very well that there is no oil in Japan." Saizono Temple said.

"Haha. This asking price is too high. You always fantasize about exchanging something worth a penny for a pound." Fisher sneered.

"This is just one of the conditions. After all, we cooperate in many aspects. For example, if your country plans to establish a escort system and needs a large number of destroyers and anti-submarine ships, we can provide help. We can provide at least 20 anti-submarine destroyers, as well as a large number of Experienced naval officers and soldiers carry out this mission. There are also more ships available," Katsura Taro said.

The so-called anti-submarine destroyers are just old destroyers that were planned to be replaced after participating in the Russo-Japanese War. If these ships were not given to the British, they would also be dismantled. The so-called experienced naval officers and soldiers were naturally those who retired at home. Japanese naval officers and soldiers!

"This issue involves something beyond the scope of what we can decide." Fisher was very surprised by the change in the Japanese attitude.

"It doesn't matter, we can wait." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said meaningfully.

"Do you think the British will agree to our request?" Katsura asked after the meeting.

"It doesn't matter. The Turks haven't fallen yet. Are we talking about dividing the spoils? Isn't it too early? I just want to reassure the British." Xiyuanji Gongwang said with a smile.
