At 1 a.m. Beijing time on May 21, Chinese Emperor Wang Yuze was woken up, and Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, Minister of Foreign Affairs Tang Shaoyi, Minister of War Zhao Bowen, Minister of the Navy Zhang Cheng and Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo urgently asked for an audience. Wu Hao, the chief of the guard, did not dare to slack off, and asked the extremely ministers to go to the imperial study of the emperor's majesty, and at the same time went to find the emperor Wang Yuze in person.

Emperor Wang Yuze had just fallen asleep for not long ago, and after being woken up by Wu Hao, the head of the guard, he was not in good spirits. However, he also knew that the ministers would not come to him at this time if there was no urgent matter. Therefore, he still cheered up and walked out of the dormitory.

"What's going on? Did there be a problem with the Italian war? On the way to the imperial study, Wang Yuze asked Wu Hao, the chief of the guard. He did not pay attention to the attack of the Chinese army and navy on Italy. The plan for this raid on Rome has been very thorough, and as long as there are no accidents, there should be no problem.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know very well, and several adults didn't say it. However, looking at their faces, they are not very good, so there must be a problem at the front! Wu Hao, the chief of the guard, said.

Hearing Wu Hao say this, Wang Yuze's face was also a little unsightly. This attack on Italy was very important. After defeating Italy, the squadron will carry out the third battle plan, which is also the most important battle plan.

After coming to the imperial study, several ministers hurriedly saluted Wang Yuze. Wang Yuze waved his hand. Although he has been emperor for almost twenty years. But he was still not used to these false courtesies. After Wu Hao asked people to prepare strong tea. He opened his mouth and asked, "What happened?" Is there a problem on the Italian battlefield? ”

"Your Majesty, it is indeed an accident on the battlefield in Italy! Originally, our attack was very smooth, and it only took 4 hours from the launch of the attack to the siege of Rome. And will be the King of Italy Vittorio. Emmanuele III and the dignitaries of the Italian government surrounded Rome. It's just that at the most critical time, there was an accident! War Minister Marshal Zhao Bowen said.

"Oh? What went wrong? Wang Yuze asked in surprise. The army surrounded Rome and blocked the Italian king and government officials. Will there be any surprises at this time? He couldn't figure it out.

"Your Majesty, it is like this, after the army besieged Rome, the king of Italy, Vittorio. Emmanuele III and the top government officials all went into hiding in the Vatican, leaving our army in the air. Now, our army has surrounded the Vatican and is confronting the Holy See Guard. It's just that whether to attack the Vatican and forcibly capture the Italian king and high-ranking government officials, the generals on the front line can't make up their minds! Prime Minister Ng Dinh Phuong continued. He also found it very tricky. If it's another country, even a powerful one. China will not hesitate to hit it directly. But the Vatican is different, although this country is weak, but the meaning it represents is extraordinary!

"Did the Vatican meddle? Didn't they always ask about secular regimes? Wang Yuze asked in surprise. If the papal see's guys had intervened, things would have been a bit of a problem. With China's strength, it can completely ignore the Vatican, but at most, the well water of both sides does not interfere with the river water. But if force were to be used against the Vatican, China would really become the enemy of the entire Western world.

"I don't know what's going on! But now the King of Italy and the top officials of the government have taken refuge in the Vatican! If we are not able to capture the Italian king and the high officials of the government, then it is somewhat unlikely that we will end the Italian battlefield as much as possible! Wu Tingfang said.

"Your Majesty, the relationship between the Vatican and the Kingdom of Italy was originally very tense. But the Vatican is risking to help the Italian king and government this time, and there must be some shady deal between them. It's just that we don't know what they're dealing! Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said. Obviously, the Vatican's sudden intervention made the Italian campaign launched by the squadron in a predicament!

"Now that's the case. So what do we say we should do now? Wang Yuze asked. He also has no good way, if he forcibly attacks the Vatican, although he can win, I am afraid that he will be antagonized by China and the whole of Western time. When the time comes, China's rule abroad will also be shaken. Those fools who have been bewitched by the Holy See will certainly attack China in every way. Maybe the fear of the future generations will be staged in advance. The old beauty of later generations is so strong that she can't deal with those terrorist attacks, which makes Wang Yuze very jealous. So, how to deal with the Vatican, this makes him very difficult.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks, we don't need to care about the Vatican! The Vatican, for all its exalted status, is only in the Western world! In the East, it is still the supremacy of the throne! Besides, this time it was the Vatican that intervened in our war with Italy, and it was they who were looking for their own death, no wonder we we! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said directly. He didn't take the Vatican seriously, if it were him, I am afraid that he would have ordered the Navy's carrier-based aircraft force to bomb the Vatican a long time ago. He wanted to see if the so-called God would appear to save his servants in the face of the bombing of the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft!

"No, we can't be strong. If we forcibly attack the Vatican, we will turn the entire Western world against us! Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said.

"Humph! Even if it is an enemy of the entire Western world, so what? We don't have to be afraid of them! War Minister Zhao Bowen also said. In this world war, the power of the Western countries was destroyed, especially the United States, France and Russia, and their industrial facilities were destroyed. However, China has made great strides in this war, not only gaining vast overseas colonies, but also obtaining a large number of industrial equipment and talents from the United States, which will enable China's power to grow by leaps and bounds. In this situation, even if the Western world unites, it will not be able to be the enemy of China!

Marshal Zhao Bowen's words made Wang Yuze's eyes light up. It is true that China no longer has to fear the Western world at all, and after the fall of the United States, China's worst enemy is no longer there. The Chinese Army is in no way inferior to the German Army, and in the event of a huge demographic superiority, China can even arm an army that exceeds the entire Western time! The Chinese Navy is the world's first, and the strength of the Chinese Navy will once again be enhanced after the first batch of 'Wuyue-class' aircraft carriers are commissioned at the end of the year. When the time comes, the Chinese Navy will have the full strength to blockade the whole of Europe. As for the Air Force, it has left the entire Western world behind. Strong military strength is undoubtedly the source of Wang Yuze's confidence. With the support of strong military power, Wang Yuze does not have to care about the theocracy of the Vatican representatives at all. The reason why Wang Yuze does not want to fall out with the entire Western world now is that he wants to further weaken the Western world, so that the price paid by China to gain world hegemony will be much smaller! But the current situation makes him have to be prepared for the contradiction to break out in advance!

"Your Majesty, if this dispute can be resolved peacefully, it will naturally be better. But if the Vatican refuses to give in and must shelter the Italian king and high-ranking government officials, then we will have no choice but to use force against the Vatican! Prime Minister Ng Dinh Fong also agreed. Now China is no longer something that any country can bully, not even God!

"Hmm!" Wang Yuze nodded, the support of the government made him more confident!

"Your Majesty, why don't you do it! Let the commanders of the front line warn the Vatican and ask them to hand over the King of Italy and high-ranking government officials to us within the deadline! This is a secular war, and there is no need for the Vatican to intervene. If they refuse, we'll do something else. If the Vatican doesn't hand over people, we can send troops to the Vatican to forcibly arrest people! However, you can't fire first! If the Vatican's papal guards shoot first, then we can teach the Vatican a lesson! When the time comes, we will also have an explanation for the vast number of subjects of the empire! After all, the whole event was a Vatican challenge us! "Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo built yì said!

Wang Yuze thought about it for a while and decided to adopt Jiang Xingguo's Jianyi. The peaceful resolution of this dispute is undoubtedly the best outcome. If the Vatican doesn't want to get themselves in trouble, they should back down after China's tough posture. If the Vatican is not willing to give in, it is their own death! In this world, the divine power has long declined, and the imperial power is supreme, especially in the Eastern time, after thousands of years of feudal rule, the imperial power has established its dominant position!

"Send a telegram to the front line and ask them to warn the Vatican that the King of Italy and the senior government officials must be handed over to us within 24 hours, otherwise all the consequences will be borne by the Vatican itself!" Wang Yuze said in a deep voice. This time, he wants to see if the so-called Vatican Holy See, which represents God, has the courage to continue confrontation with China.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" War Minister Zhao Bowen said.

When Marshal Zhao Bowen sent the order of His Majesty the Emperor to Rome, the senior generals of the empire who received the order immediately cheered! (To be continued......)
