Crown Prince Hirohito formed a Japanese government-in-exile in each of them, which was undoubtedly a big deal. Although, after the destruction of Japan, Crown Prince Hirohito was like a lost dog. However, the U.S. government behind it has made all countries attach great importance to it. Almost all countries know that this is a game between China and the United States, and even the United Kingdom. In this regard, the performance of the Chinese Empire is undoubtedly more intense.

After listening to the report of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Emperor Wu Haoxuan immediately issued instructions asking Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi to summon the US ambassador to China, and at the same time, he also ordered the imperial ambassador to the United States to formally protest to the US government, demanding that the US government stop supporting the Japanese government-in-exile and hand over Crown Prince Hirohito and his henchmen to the Chinese Empire.

Of course, if you think on your toes, you know that this is simply impossible. Americans, absolutely not so obedient. What's more, the reason why they supported Crown Prince Hirohito to form a Japanese government-in-exile was to deal with China. Even if you can't deal with China, you have to disgust China. In order to confront China, the Americans are now doing everything they can. The Chinese Empire knew that protesting would be useless, but it still did it, just to express the attitude of the Chinese Empire. Now is not the time to tear up the face with the United States, so the empire can only protest first. When the time comes, it will probably be a direct war against the United States.

On December 16, 4621 A.D., the day after the establishment of the Japanese government-in-exile, the Imperial Foreign Minister summoned the U.S. Ambassador to China Schulman early in the morning to formally consult with the U.S. side on the matter.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese Empire has declared war on Japan, and Japan is an enemy of the Chinese Empire. Now, the United States supports Hirohito's establishment of a government-in-exile in the United States, which is undoubtedly against the Chinese Empire. Doing so will seriously hurt the friendship between China and the United States. The Chinese Empire hoped that the U.S. government would cease its support for Hirohito and hand over Hirohito's henchmen to the Chinese Empire. In this way, it will be conducive to the healthy and upward development of relations between our two countries. Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said solemnly.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. We are not in a position to accede to these demands of your country. The United States is a free and democratic country. The crown prince of Japan has fled to the United States and is looking at political asylum. Then the United States needs to protect its security. Crown Prince Hirohito set up a government-in-exile in the United States, that was his freedom, and the U.S. government could not interfere. As for the transfer of Crown Prince Hirohito to the Chinese Empire, it is even more impossible. "Ambassador Shulman rejected the demands of the Chinese Empire. Hirohito is a pawn that the U.S. government has managed to get, so how can he give it up so easily? Besides, the current Chinese empire and the United States are enemies in the first place, and there can be no friendship. In order to strike at the Chinese Empire, the United States will use all means, and naturally it will not hand over the trump card in its hands to the Chinese Empire.

Tang Shaoyi's face suddenly turned not good-looking: "Your Excellency, Ambassador, if the US government insists on doing this, then the relationship between our two countries will probably fall to the bottom immediately." When the time comes, it will hurt both of our countries severely. ”

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the United States of America wishes to maintain good relations with the Chinese Empire. However, the choice of the Chinese Empire, we cannot interfere. We also believe that the United States of America will not suffer much if the relationship between the two countries is damaged. "Ambassador Schulman has taken a tough stance. Americans believe that the Japanese government-in-exile will have a very serious impact on China.

In fact, it's that they overestimate themselves. As long as the policies of the Chinese Empire in Japan continue to be pursued, then no matter how much the Japanese government-in-exile agitates, those Japanese will not be fooled. After all, those Japanese are going to survive in the first place. Be able to fill your stomach. Whoever fills their bellies will be loved by them.

The meeting between Tang Shaoyi and US Ambassador to China Shulman ended up unhappily. On the issue of the Japanese government-in-exile, the Americans were very resolute. No matter how much the Chinese Empire protested or threatened, they would not stop supporting the Japanese government-in-exile, let alone hand over Hirohito and others to the Chinese Empire.

On December 16, Eastern time, Shi Zhaoji, the imperial ambassador to the United States, also officially submitted a letter of protest to the U.S. government. However, U.S. Secretary of State Hughes still rejected the demands of the Chinese Empire. Hughes claimed that the formation of a Japanese government-in-exile in the United States embodied American freedom and had nothing to do with other political significance. There was no need for the Chinese Empire to delve into this matter.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Americans are deliberately confronting the Chinese Empire on this issue. It is absolutely impossible to get them to stop supporting the Japanese government-in-exile.

"The protests of the Chinese, don't heed them. In any case, after the fall of Japan, it is inevitable that we will continue to move towards confrontation with the Chinese Empire. The relationship between the two countries will not be much worse no matter how bad it is. In the future, war will definitely break out. We don't have to compromise with the Chinese. U.S. President Calvin Coolidge said.

"Yes, Your Excellency. Although the Pacific Ocean is large, it cannot accommodate the two major powers, China and the United States. Sooner or later, there will be a war between us and China. Japan's government-in-exile will be of great benefit to the United States in defeating China. Therefore, we must not easily compromise with the Chinese. Hughes said.

In the face of the protests of the Chinese Empire, the Americans not only did not relent, but became more and more rampant. The U.S. government provided $10 million in funds to the Japanese government-in-exile to help the Japanese government-in-exile train intelligence agents. In the future, these intelligence officers will be sent to the Japanese mainland through various channels, so that they can encourage those Japanese to rise up against the rule of the Chinese Empire. It would even be sent to mainland China to spy on the intelligence of the Chinese Empire. After all, the Japanese belong to the yellow race, and there is basically no difference between the Japanese and the Chinese. Using these Japanese intelligence agents, it is easier to infiltrate and spy on intelligence in China.

"Your Majesty, the Americans are so much of a thing. They actually dared to support the Japanese in this way, and they were clearly deliberately confronting us. We can't afford to do that easily. With the orders of His Majesty, our troops will be able to land in the Philippines and uproot the colonial rule of the United States here. Imperial War Minister Zhao Xifu said.

The distance between the Philippines and the Empire is not far, and if you want to use force against the Philippines, the Empire* army can easily take down the whole Philippines. Even if the United States wants to rescue, how can they be compared to the empire that is close at hand, thousands of miles away? The empire can definitely win this war at a small cost.

In addition to the Burmese colonies and the Philippine colonies, as well as the Indochina Peninsula, the rest of the territory has fallen into the hands of the Chinese Empire. As for Indochina, the empire has already made a move. In the Burmese colony, the British were relatively heavily defended, and the empire could not find any opportunity for a while. Therefore, the Imperial* military hit the idea of the Philippine colony of the Americans, and wanted to expand further, so the Philippine colony was snatched over.

"If we do something to the Philippine colonies, then we will tear ourselves apart with the United States. A major war will inevitably break out between the two countries, and it may even turn into a world war. This was not the Empire's plan. Prime Minister Yang Du said.

"But no matter how we can't let the Americans bully us, we don't dare to fight back, right?" Marshal Zhao Xifu said.

"It's really hateful that the Americans don't give face to the empire in this way. We really should give them a little bit of power. However, the outbreak of large-scale wars must be avoided as much as possible. Wu Haoxuan said.

With the current strength of the Empire, it may be very difficult to win the world war. If it doesn't work out, it's a lose-lose outcome in the end. Therefore, the empire still has to accumulate strength. Only when the time is ripe can the war be won at the minimum cost.

It is undoubtedly a more difficult choice to teach the Americans a lesson, but not to exacerbate the contradictions too much and avoid the outbreak of war.

"Your Majesty, perhaps we can take advantage of the contradictions between the Chinese and indigenous people in the Philippines and the colonial government of the United States." This was stated by General Chen Xudong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"Oh? How so? Wu Haoxuan asked.

"Last week, in Batangas, south of Manila, there was an incident of indigenous killing of Chinese. Two Chinese were killed and many others injured in clashes with the Bumiputera. However, the U.S. colonial government favored the natives to the detriment of the Chinese people. Admiral Chen Xudong said.

Wu Haoxuan's brows were already furrowed: "Why didn't I know that this happened?" ”

Wu Haoxuan has always attached great importance to the interests of overseas Chinese. The Chinese in the world are all one family, and the overseas Chinese are already living very badly, and the empire should help them.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Consulate in Manila and the U.S. government have expressed their protests, but the Americans are still delaying." Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi replied.

"In that case, let's use this incident as a reason to ask the Americans to give us an explanation. The South Ocean Fleet of the Imperial Navy, ready to gather in Manila Bay, put pressure on the Americans. Wu Haoxuan commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The military ministers of the empire replied in command.

On December 19, 4621 A.D., the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the murder of the Chinese in Batangas, Philippines, and demanded that the U.S. government severely punish the perpetrators, and apologize to the Chinese for the inaction of the U.S. colonial government and compensate for the losses.

At the same time, the South Ocean Fleet of the Imperial Navy also began to gather the main forces to Manila Bay. (To be continued.) )
