"Your Excellency Prime Minister Holwig, the conditions for the Chinese are too harsh! We can't say yes! If their terms are agreed, what is the difference between Britain and the annihilated? "British Foreign Secretary Edward. Sir Grey said with a grim face!

"Your Excellency Chancellor Holwig, Britain has reached a secret agreement with Germany, and Germany has promised that it will do its best to ensure Britain's interests! If Britain is weakened by China, it will also be very disadvantageous for Germany! The Chinese's claim for the territory of the British mainland and the Channel Islands is obviously aimed at Germany! Even if it is for the sake of Germany's interests, Germany should prevent such demands from the Chinese! British Prime Minister Asquith also said. Especially the Channel Islands, the strategic location is very important, can hold the entire English Channel, once the Chinese deploy fighters on the Channel Islands, the entire strait will be cut off by the Chinese!

German Chancellor Holwig and Foreign Minister Stresemann also felt a headache. The toughness of the Chinese side in dealing with Britain did not surprise them! However, the Chinese's approach is obviously harmful to Germany's interests! As Prime Minister Asquith said, even if it is for the sake of Germany's interests, Germany and Britain will do its best to help Britain! But will China accept Germany's good intentions? It seems very difficult! China is so powerful now that it can ignore the opinions of other countries!

"Prime Minister Asquith, the secret agreement signed between Germany and Britain is still valid, and we will do our best to help Britain! However, we also hope that Britain will understand our difficulties and make some concessions as appropriate! After all, we don't have the strength to defeat China yet, and we still need to endure for a while! When we have the strength to challenge the Chinese, we don't have to look at their faces anymore! Prime Minister Holwig said with a frown! If the British side also resolutely refuses to back down, then this negotiation will not be able to go on at all!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister Holwig, we can give up the Channel Islands, but Cornwall must be under our control! Otherwise, with the strength of the armored forces of the Chinese Army, I am afraid that they will be able to reach the city of London in less than a week! Prime Minister Asquith said! The 8th Army of the Chinese Army defeated the British Army in Birmingham, which gave the British government a great shock.

Prime Minister Holwig nodded, although the armored forces of the German Army are also very powerful, but compared with the armored forces of the Chinese Army, it seems that they are still a lot worse. Without the blockage of the strait, the armored forces of the Chinese Army were enough to sweep across the whole of Britain.

"If we had persuaded us, maybe the Chinese would have agreed to give up Cornwall!" But, what about the Channel Islands? The Chinese can benefit from the Channel Islands to block the entire English Channel, plus the series of islands they occupy in the Mediterranean, it is completely possible to blockade Germany on the European continent! German Foreign Minister Stresemann said with some concern!

"Leave this problem to the military to have a headache! The Chinese can deploy fighters on the Channel Islands, and we can also deploy aircraft on the Normandy Peninsula! Agree that it can be a threat to them! Chancellor Holwig said!

Stresemann nodded, although the main fighters of the Luftwaffe are all using Chinese technology, but the imitation is very smooth, and now it has begun to develop newer aircraft! The German side believes that the gap between China and Germany is not so big on this point!

"Well, what about war reparations? The war reparations of 500 million Chinese dollars proposed by the British side will certainly not be agreed to by the Chinese! The war reparations of one billion Chinese dollars that we proposed, the Chinese will not agree! It is estimated that in order for the Chinese to nod, the share of war reparations must be increased to at least two billion Chinese dollars! German Chancellor Holwig said!

"Two billion Chinese dollars!" If it was in the heyday of the United Kingdom, this is not a particularly large number for the United Kingdom! But now Britain has lost all its overseas colonies, even the island of Ireland, and wants them to bear the two billion Chinese dollars in war reparations, which will undoubtedly put a heavy burden on the entire British finances!

"The Chinese are so greedy! Not only did they rob the royal family of their wealth, but now they are blackmailing us like this! "British Foreign Secretary Edward. Sir Gray gritted his teeth. The wealth of the British royal family worth 800 million Chinese dollars was robbed by China, which is a heavy blow to the whole of Britain! If this wealth is still there, it will undoubtedly greatly relieve the pressure on the British!

"Chancellor Holwig, in terms of war reparations, we still need Germany to continue to mediate for us! It would be the best if we could reduce the war reparations as much as possible! British Prime Minister Asquith said sincerely!

"Alas! We'll do our best, but how effective it will be, it's not known! German Chancellor Holwig also looked a little helpless!

On October 28th, negotiations began again! The time for the negotiations was set for 9:30 a.m., and before 9 o'clock, the representatives of the countries had already arrived! Everyone is also looking forward to today's negotiations! They are even speculating whether today's negotiations will make decisive progress, and whether Britain will compromise and back down under Chinese pressure! Of course, no one will think that China will compromise and back down, after all, China now has a complete advantage! Even if Germany wanted to favor the British, it would be very difficult!

The representatives of the Chinese side almost stepped on time to enter the venue! After the arrival of the Chinese representatives, the negotiations began again!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister Asquith, after a day of consideration, has the British side made any decisions?" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang asked.

"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, China's conditions are still too harsh! After our domestic contacts, the British government could relinquish ownership of the Channel Islands, renounce all overseas colonies, and at the same time pay 1.5 billion Chinese dollars in war reparations to the victorious powers! In addition, the armaments of Great Britain can be limited, the army will keep only 100,000 people, and the navy will not build ships with a displacement of more than three thousand tons! As for the shipyards, which are the backbone of the British economy, they must not be dismantled! The biggest role of these shipyards is not to build warships, but to build merchant ships! After this war, Britain will no longer pose any threat to China! Prime Minister Asquith said!

Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang shook his head, and then said: "After consulting His Majesty the Emperor, in order to reach an agreement as much as possible, sign a peace treaty!" The Chinese side decided to abandon the claims of the Cornwall peninsula, however, the British side needed to cede Anglesey, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands to us! In addition, the total amount of war reparations shall not be less than 3 billion Chinese dollars, and China will enjoy 70 percent of these war reparations! In terms of armaments, the British Army can keep 100,000 units armed with light weapons! The British Navy is not allowed to build submarines, aircraft carriers, and can only keep warships with a displacement of less than a thousand tons! As for those large shipyards in the UK, they must be dismantled! Of course, you can also sell it to us at a discount, or directly offset the war reparations! Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said! This is the final disposition plan for Britain reached by the Chinese side after deliberations, and it is also a disposition plan that cannot be changed!

British Prime Minister Asquith thought quickly, although the conditions proposed by the Chinese side this time have been compromised compared with yesterday, but for Germany, this is still a harsh treaty.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister Ng Dinh Phuong, these conditions are still too harsh! The British side could not agree! Prime Minister Asquith said!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister Asquith, in this negotiation, China has been very sincere! We have lowered our requirements twice, and if the British side can't say yes, then we can only say sorry! Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said coldly. This cold tone sent chills down the hearts of the representatives of the British side.

German Chancellor Holwig is about to open his mouth to mediate, but the Chinese side has already given a final and clear answer!

"This is the last demand of the Chinese government, and if the British government does not agree, we can only declare the negotiations broken! And, from now on, we will refuse to enter into any further negotiations with the UK! As for Britain, then continue the military occupation! Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said strongly!

"Oh God! Is China going to end the negotiations once and for all? Will the war continue? The delegates of all countries exclaimed!

The representatives of the British side and the German side were also surprised, they did not expect that the Chinese side would be so tough and directly give a demand similar to an ultimatum, if Britain did not compromise, then there would be no way!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister Ng Dinh Fong, I think everyone needs to be calm now! Although there are still differences in the negotiations, I firmly believe that we will definitely be able to reach an agreement in the end through our efforts! German Chancellor Holwig said.

"By the way, one more notice! In order to ensure that China's interests are not harmed, the Empire's troops stationed in Britain will send an army to march to London! If it is intercepted by any troops along the way, it will be considered a provocation or even a declaration of war against China! In addition, the Chinese Navy will conduct exercises in the North Sea and the Strait of Dover, which will become a no-sail zone, and any ships or aircraft of other countries entering this area will be regarded as spying on the military secrets of the Chinese Navy and will be sunk and shot down! "Marshal Jiang Xingguo, Minister of National Defense of China, solemnly announced to the delegates of various countries!
