At 5:30 p.m. Beijing time on June 24, less than half an hour after British Prime Minister Asquith announced Britain's surrender to Germany, the Chinese side had already received the news, and the agents of the Military Intelligence Agency abroad had sent the news back to China as soon as possible. And General Wei Zhiyong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, also rushed to the palace as soon as possible to report this matter to the Emperor Wang Yuze!

"Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, German Chancellor Holwig had secretly flown to London two days ago and had a day-long meeting with the British Cabinet officials! After that, Britain announced its surrender to Germany, and the Military Intelligence Agency suspected that Britain and Germany had secretly entered into a secret agreement, and this secret agreement was likely against China. However, we don't know the details of the secret agreement yet! Admiral Wei Zhiyong said. The collusion between Germany and Britain will undoubtedly have a serious adverse impact on China's future world strategy!

"General Wei, it's a blessing! The MIA had to find out as much as possible what agreement the Germans and the British had reached! Wang Yuze said with a cold face. The third and final battle plan submitted by the Chinese Admiralty was about to begin, but it was not expected that now the British had surrendered to the Germans in advance, which had a great impact on the Chinese plan.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Admiral Wei Zhiyong replied, and then retired and left the palace. He knew that His Majesty the Emperor would definitely convene the important ministers of the empire to discuss how to deal with the problems he was facing! Sure enough, on the way back to the Military Intelligence Bureau from the palace, Admiral Wei Zhiyong saw the cars of the Prime Minister, the Chief of the General Staff, the Minister of War, the Navy Minister, the Minister of National Defense, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs rushing towards the Imperial Palace. Obviously. They will work out how to deal with the situation. But. Admiral Wei Zhiyong believed. The Empire will certainly not compromise. If the Germans and the British thought that this would be possible to contain the Reich attack, it would be delusional!

"Guys, you already know the situation! The Germans and the British had colluded, and the British had surrendered to the Germans. And the Germans also openly declared that they would occupy Britain militarily, obviously to guard against us! So, what do we do next? Wang Yuze looked at the important ministers of the empire and asked.

"Your Majesty, we have absolutely no need to pay attention to the British and Germans. The British surrendered to the Germans, but not to us! Just like we did on the battlefield in Russia, just land directly in Britain and seize British territory! Now the Navy's convoy is only two days away from the south of the United Kingdom, and it is expected that on the afternoon of June 26, London time, it will be able to reach the waters off the coast of Britain and launch a landing operation against the United Kingdom! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng immediately said. Of the three battle plans submitted by the Admiralty, the first two had already been completed, which greatly enhanced the influence of the Imperial Navy. The third battle plan was about to begin, and it turned out that this happened. Of course, he hoped that the battle plan would continue to be implemented. Anyway, even the Germans and the British were tied together. Nor is it an opponent of China!

"Your Majesty, the Germans have already announced that they will send troops to Britain! In addition, we have learned that the remaining nearly 300,000 troops of the British Expeditionary Force have also been withdrawn to Britain. This is clearly the Germans deliberately releasing water! If they intensify their attack, Admiral Haig and the troops of the British Expeditionary Force will probably remain in France! Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of War, also said.

"If the Reich insists on launching a landing operation against Britain, will it trigger a war between us and Germany?" Wang Yuze asked. He was now a little unsure whether to start the war with Germany now, or wait until China digested the fruits of its victory in this war. China has gained too much territory in this war, and even if there are more than 500 million or nearly 600 million Chinese, it will take a long time to digest these lands. In addition, the machinery and equipment obtained from the United States are also being shipped back to China one after another, and in less than a year or two, the promotion of China's industry will not be reflected at all. Therefore, in Wang Yuze's plan, if a war with Germany is to be launched after the end of the war, it is best to wait a few years.

"Your Majesty, if there is no accident, it is unlikely that a direct war will break out between us and the Germans! After all, we still have a lot of strength left in this war, and the Germans are almost at the limit! Of course, if we are to defeat Germany, we will have to pay a heavy price based on the current comparison of the strength of the two sides! If the war could be postponed for more than five years, the Reich would have further widened the gap between it and Germany. Defeating Germany is not a problem either! "said the Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Cai Yun. After the surrender of Russia, China and Germany faced off on the Eastern European Plain, and there was no longer any need for him to remain on the front line, so he flew back to Beijing to deal with the affairs of the General Staff!

"What about the Cabinet's opinion?" Wang Yuze asked. He already knew the attitude of the military, and the important ministers of the military were obviously unwilling to compromise, even at the cost of clashing with the Germans. Wang Yuze himself agrees with this view. Of course, although both China and Germany will try to avoid war as much as possible, if China insists on implementing the third battle plan proposed by the Admiralty, that is, landing in Britain, it is very likely that some accident will lead to a sharp deterioration in relations between China and Germany, or even the outbreak of war. Therefore, the opinion of the cabinet is also very important in this matter!

"Your Majesty, the Cabinet hopes to avoid war with Germany at this time! We need time to recuperate! So far, the Empire's casualties in this war have been as high as about 700,000, and this is still not including mercenaries! Although the vast majority of the people of the Empire still support the ongoing war of the Empire. But they also want peace! In addition, the empire's national strength has also been depleted, and with the vast majority of the national strength tilted towards war, the empire's economic shape has begun to deteriorate! If the war continues, it will be a heavy blow to the empire's economy! Prime Minister Wu Dinh Fong said. Because of the high prestige of the imperial emperor Wang Yuze, under his call, the subjects of the empire gritted their teeth and insisted on the war. However, some radical people have become very averse to war. Coupled with the deterioration of the economy, people's lives have also been affected, and if these problems cannot be dealt with in a timely manner, I am afraid that there will be serious consequences!

Wang Yuze nodded, the people of the empire are undoubtedly the best people in the world, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they can endure it forever. Unless it is really unbearable, there will never be a rebellion. What reason is there for such a people to let them live in poverty? Wang Yuze and his father Wang Xiao, haven't they done exactly what they have done in the past few decades to be able to make the people of the empire live a good life? Of course, to achieve this goal, it will take a lot of effort and pay a lot of cost. However, a qiē is undoubtedly worth it!

"Your Majesty, the empire has always adopted a tough foreign policy for more than ten years, and in the eyes of the empire, there are only enemies besides allies! As a result, the rest of the world has always harbored a fear of the Empire. Therefore, after the end of this world war, will it take a while for the empire to change the image of the empire. Find as many allies as you can for the Empire! After all, war is only the last resort to solve problems, and if there is any other way, it is undoubtedly better! "Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said!

The rise of the empire is inseparable from a series of wars, and it can be said that since the establishment of the empire, foreign wars have been very frequent. Although these wars confirmed the rise of the empire, they also made the empire enemies everywhere. The Empire has very few allies, and it can be said that it is unique. Japan and Korea were nothing more than subjects of the empire. In addition, with the exception of Chile and Colombia in South America and Mexico in North America, there are almost no allies with China. As for Germany and the rest of the Central Powers, they were only nominal allies. After the war is over, the Empire will definitely part ways with these countries! It is also necessary to temporarily rein in the Empire's aggressive foreign policy. Isn't the United States an ally of the whole world? Although the Western world has been hit hard in this war, it is still strong, and China wants to defeat the entire Western time, even if it wins, it will be a tragic victory! And the Western world is not monolithic, and if the empire lowers its posture, it should be able to find allies. Even if everyone uses each other, this can further weaken the power of Western time, which is also very beneficial for the Empire!

"The foreign policy of the Empire, after this world war, Britain has indeed made some adjustments! Military means are only a last resort and a last resort! However, if the interests of the empire are harmed, military means are also the most direct means! As for the operation to land in Britain this time, the Imperial Army and Navy can be carried out according to the predetermined plan! The Germans want to scare us with a few threats, that's impossible! Even if the German Army landed in Britain, we would have to force the landing, and the Germans wanted to monopolize Britain, it was impossible! Wang Yuze said firmly! Britain is also one of China's main enemies, and now that Britain has been defeated, of course China will stab the British hard! (To be continued......)
