August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder was dumbfounded, he was thinking about how to deal with the Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi, and the Chinese side would definitely not agree to share the wealth of the British crown with Germany. However, he never expected that Tang Shaoyi would directly deny such a thing. This undoubtedly made all the rhetoric he had prepared before useless!

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?" August. Feng. Clint asked, stammering.

"Your Excellency, I don't know where you got your message. However, what I want to tell you is that this qiē is all a rumor, China has not found any wealth of the British royal family in Birmingham, and it is just a rumor deliberately released by the British! Tang Shaoyi said neatly.

August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder was silent, hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to continue the question! Since the Chinese side firmly disagrees, there is no other way for him. After that, August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder just chatted with Tang Shaoyi about some inconsequential matters, and then took his leave and left!

After that, August. Feng. Ambassador Klinder reported on the meeting with Tang Shaoyi to Germany. The German side is also very unhappy about this! The Chinese actually did not admit that there was such a thing, which undoubtedly made Germany punch in the air without receiving any effect. Obviously, they were sure that China must have acquired the wealth of the British crown in Birmingham, and that China wanted to monopolize it this time, so they denied it. And in this matter, Germany does not have definite evidence, and even if there is evidence, as long as the Chinese side does not admit it. Germany can't help it either! It is impossible for Germany to take the initiative to go to war with China for this, right? If Germany is capable of this, is there any need to talk so much nonsense? The only way to do this is to force China to hand over this wealth by force!

However, these moves by the Chinese side have also aroused strong dissatisfaction on the German side! Kaiser Wilhelm II and Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany both deliberately asked the military to give the Chinese side a little color. But. The condition the day before yesterday is to grasp the degree well, and not to go off the fire and detonate the war!

The next morning, Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi met with Emperor Wang Yuze and told him about the previous night's meeting with the German ambassador to China, August. Feng. The situation of Klind's meeting. Although Tang Shaoyi did not admit that China had acquired the wealth of the British crown, the Germans would certainly not believe it. To be on the safe side. It is also necessary to make all kinds of preparations, especially all the departments on the front line, they need to be ready for battle!

"Your Majesty, Ambassador Klinder has been sent away by me, but it seems that the Germans already know the truth of the matter. That's why you want to share the benefits with us! Of course, we categorically do not admit it, and the Germans have no other way! After all, they can't go to war with us at this juncture! Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said!

"Humph! The Germans are too whimsical, right? They didn't do anything, and they still wanted to take a piece of the cake from us, which is simply delusional. Wang Yuze is also a little dissatisfied with the greed of the Germans, which has been eaten by China. As long as you are not a fool, you know that China will definitely not spit out! The Germans dare to make a big demand, this is simply too arrogant!

"Your Majesty, will the Germans create some friction in Britain because of this, and thus cause tension at the front! Now our troops are marching on Scotland, and the Germans, with the assistance of the British, have already taken most of England! "Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of the General Staff, said!

"Get the front line ready for battle! If the Germans dare to provoke, then we will resolutely fight back against them! Anyway, we don't need to be afraid of them! Wang Yuze said directly. Although, the war continues. Nothing good for China. The war has had a very negative impact on economic development. However, Wang Yuze believes that the situation of the Germans is undoubtedly more difficult, and I am afraid that the Germans have been dragged down before China is dragged down by the war! Besides. The wealth of the British royal family obtained from the United Kingdom is worth more than 800 million Chinese dollars, which can already allow the squadron to last for a while. And the Germans, it's their old book again!

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will order that all the British ministries leave enough troops just in case! Marshal Cai Yun said!

Wang Yuze nodded, and then said, "Have those things been transported to the warship?" ”

"Your Majesty, it was already transported to the warship last night! Loaded separately by 6 'Hanshin-class' battleships, they had already set off at 2 o'clock in the morning this morning, 4 'Ningbo-class' light cruisers, 6 'Fuqing-class' destroyers and 6 'Lop Nur-class' destroyers were on escort duty! The fleet will pass through the Strait of Gibraltar and then enter the Indian Ocean from the Suez Canal and return home. Expect it to take a month! "Marshal Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy, said! After this wealth was transported to the warship, it was finally possible to breathe a sigh of relief. However, if you really want to completely relax, you still have to wait until you ship back to China!

"Watch out for underwater and aerial defenses along the way! The submarines of the Germans, as well as their aircraft, were all possible threats to our fleet! A fortune worth 800 million Chinese dollars is enough to make the Germans take risks! Wang Yuze advised! After China has acquired this wealth, it can recover its strength more quickly, which is not a good thing for Germany. Therefore, it is conceivable that the Germans will certainly not rest on their laurels!

"Yes, Your Majesty! We have air forces in the Strait of Gibraltar, in Sicily and in the Suez Canal, and they will provide air cover all the time. As for underwater, if the fleet sails at full speed, the submarines of the Germans will not be able to catch up with ours at all! Marshal Zhang Cheng explained!

"That's good!" Wang Yuze is very confident in the strength of the Chinese Navy. As long as that wealth is on the warship, the Germans will not think of any more attempts!

"Your Majesty, now that the war has begun, the members of the Entente have surrendered. Britain has not yet formally surrendered to us, but it has now been divided between us and the Germans! So, it's time to consider armistice negotiations! Only when the war is truly over will we be able to devote our energies to economic development! Prime Minister Wu Dinh Fong said!

"His Majesty, Austro-Hungarian Ambassador to China, Anton. Huber also expressed the meaning of Austria-Hungary, which hoped to convene a peace conference as much as possible to end the war! Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said.

"Wait until the British give in to us, and then start peace negotiations!" Wang Yuze said! The British surrendered only to the Germans, but not to China, which made China very dissatisfied! Therefore, the war between China and Britain will not be over yet!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Ng Dinh Fong and Foreign Minister Tang Siu Yee said. The British wanted to hold the thighs of the Germans and thus reduce the cost of defeat, which was simply impossible!

Gloucester, located at the bottom of Bristol Bay, on the banks of the River Severn, has been captured by the Chinese Army after the Chinese Army's 2nd Army landed in Bristol and defeated the British Army at Swindon! Now the 2nd Infantry Regiment under the 57th Infantry Division of the 572th Army of the Chinese Army is responsible for garrisoning here. Cheltenham, 11 kilometers northeast of Gloucester, was captured by the German Army, and an infantry division and a cavalry regiment of the German Army's 2nd Army Corps were stationed here to prevent the squadron from advancing into the heart of England! China and Germany are still allies, so the two sides can get along fairly well, and there are no conflicts!

However, after the Chinese army captured Birmingham and gained a lot of wealth from Birmingham, this changed in qiē!

At two o'clock in the afternoon of July 2, London time, a company of the 84th Infantry Division of the German Army stationed in Cheltenham crossed the control line of the two sides and advanced towards the control area of the squadron, but was blocked by the Chinese army!

A platoon of Chinese troops was stationed next to the road, about three kilometers from Gloucester, where the Chinese Army's 57th Infantry Regiment was at the forward position. The Germans entered the control zone of the Chinese Army, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the squadron!

"Stop moving! This is the control area of the Chinese Army! "When the German army was still two hundred meters away from the position of the 2nd Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Chinese Army, it was intercepted by the squadron. The squadron had already received an order from home and began to strengthen the vigilance, and the target was the Germans. Therefore, this German team suddenly broke into the control area of the squadron, which made the squadron very vigilant!

"Soldier, I'm Jonathan, the captain of the 84th Infantry Division of the German Army, and this morning, one of our soldiers went missing, and we think he may have entered your zone! So allow us to go inside and find the missing soldiers! A German officer, about thirty years old, spoke. Behind him was his company, more than 150 soldiers, armed with heavy machine guns, mortars and light machine guns.

"Captain, we don't have any of your soldiers here, so please look elsewhere!" The platoon commander of the 2nd platoon walked out of the position and replied! He had already given the order and the whole platoon was ready. Heavy machine guns and mortars have been set up and aimed at the target, and the light machine guns of the three infantry squads below are also loaded, and if the Germans make any moves, they will open fire immediately!

"Ensign! My men have seen our soldiers enter your zone, did you capture our soldiers? "Captain Jonathan is messing around!
