There is also a copy of the "Sino-British Conflict Memorandum of Understanding", that is, the "Sino-British Solution to the McMahon Line Issue", in which it is stipulated that the 90,000 square kilometers of territory stolen by the British Indian colonial government of the Chinese Empire will be unconditionally repaid to the Chinese Empire with immediate effect. At the same time, Henry McMahon, who planned the incident, was severely punished. The colonial government of British India paid 50 million Chinese dollars to the Chinese Empire.

The signing of the "Sino-British Memorandum of Understanding on the Conflict" and the annex made the Chinese Empire reap great benefits in this conflict between China and Britain. Not only did it snatch the Kingdom of Iran from the British, but it also turned the Kingdom of Iran into a vassal state of the Chinese Empire. At the same time, it also dealt heavy damage to the British Navy, so that the threat of the British Navy to the Chinese Navy was minimized. When the empire makes a move against Japan next year, even if the British have the intention to intervene, they will not be able to do enough because they do not have a strong enough fleet. In addition, the Straits Settlements were then part of the Chinese Empire, and the Straits Province was established to rule. This allowed the empire to completely establish its dominant position in the South Seas. Since then, the only forces in the South Seas have been China, the United States, France and Siam. As for the British, they will say goodbye to Nanyang forever.

The Chinese Empire also received a total of 650 million Chinese dollars in compensation from the British, which was not only enough for the losses of the Chinese Empire in the war, but also had a surplus after paying the pension. The Chinese Empire could use this money to further develop China's military power. Although, the tonnage of the capital ships of the Chinese Empire has exceeded 500,000 tons, and it can no longer be developed. But. China's aircraft carrier tonnage still has a lot of surplus. According to the provisions of the "Treaty on the Development of the Limitation of Naval Armaments" signed at the Washington Conference, the total tonnage of China's aircraft carriers can reach 180,000 tons. In addition to one experimental aircraft carrier, the Chinese Navy has only four fleet aircraft carriers under construction. Even if these four aircraft carriers are commissioned, they will only be 100,000 tons. The Chinese Empire could also build at least two aircraft carriers.

Of course, to end the conflict with the Chinese Empire, for the British Empire. Undoubtedly a good thing. Although, in this conflict, the British Empire suffered heavy losses. However, the fortunate thing in the misfortune was that the Chinese Empire did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but gave them a chance to recuperate. The disastrous defeat of the British Navy certainly made it impossible for them to surrender their position as supremacy at sea. But the heritage of the British Navy remains. If the British government continues to increase its investment in the navy, I am afraid that it will not be long before the British navy will develop.

Other than that. The Chinese Empire, with the exception of Iran, claimed only the Straits Settlements. This is nothing to Britain, which has the largest colonies in the world. Of course, the Straits Settlements are important, but they are nothing compared to other colonies. In particular, the Indian colonies were preserved, allowing Britain to continue to exploit them and use the wealth of the colonies to recover themselves. If the Chinese Empire, after defeating the British Navy. Attacking Britain's colonies directly would undoubtedly cost Britain even more. It could even lead to the collapse of the British Empire.

Of course, the reason why the Chinese Empire did this also had its own considerations. Although the current Chinese Empire is very powerful, it can be regarded as the top power in the world. However, there were also too many enemies of the Chinese Empire. The United States, the world's most powerful industrial nation, has come to see the Chinese Empire as its main rival. United Kingdom. The country whose aura as the hegemon of this world has faded is still not to be underestimated. This time, he was defeated by the Chinese Empire behind his back, and regarded the Chinese Empire as the biggest enemy. Japan was already the old enemy of the Chinese Empire. If the Chinese Empire goes to war with other countries, Japan will definitely fall into the ground as soon as it shows its fatigue. Soviet Russia, a country hostile to the whole world, was also an enemy of the Chinese Empire. In the previous war, the Chinese Empire caused the Russians to lose two million troops and a large area of territory. Even now, Soviet Russia has not been able to ease up. France, the country and the Chinese Empire though did not have much hatred. However, the French Indochina colony is right on China's lips. This, coupled with the Chinese Empire's support for the Indochinese guerrillas, made the French very annoyed. If other countries unite to fight against the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire is defeated, the French may rush into the war against the Chinese Empire.

It can be said that several of the most important countries in the world have now become enemies of the Chinese Empire. What is called the enemy of the world, probably this is what it looks like. It was precisely because of this that China spared Britain and avoided the outbreak of all-out war with Britain. Otherwise, those other countries may rush to besiege China. Although China is strong now, it is not strong enough to be the enemy of the whole world. The Chinese Empire wanted to defeat these rivals and become the world hegemon. However, it takes time, it needs to be done step by step, and you can't eat a big fat person in one bite. On the contrary, it may cause indigestion.

Besides, the-stirring stick of the Third German Reich has not yet been established, so how can the Chinese Empire become enemies of those countries in advance? It was only after the Third Reich attracted the attention of Britain, France, and the Soviet Union that the Reich was able to engage in a decisive battle with the Americans. As long as the United States can be defeated. Forcing the United States to withdraw from the war. Then, the world hegemon is undoubtedly in the pocket of the empire.

Three months later, in September 4620, the Yellow Emperor's era, the weather in Yanjing was still a bit hot. However, Emperor Wu Haoxuan summoned the monarchs of the vassal states of the empire and asked them to come to Yanjing for a meeting.

The reason why he did this was entirely because Wu Haoxuan felt that there were too many enemies in the empire. Although China is strong, it is undoubtedly very necessary to cultivate a group of younger brothers. In this way, when fighting, the Chinese Empire will be able to take these little brothers together, and if everyone is side by side, it is much better than fighting alone.

However, these younger brothers of the empire are a little weaker. But no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat! With the help of the younger brother, the empire will have a better chance of winning in the future, and the losses it will pay in the war will be smaller.

Emperor Wu Haoxuan asked the General Staff to come up with an armed plan for the vassal states of the Empire, with the support of the Empire, to train a capable army for them. Of course, technical arms such as the navy and the air force are also the most invested arms, and these vassal states naturally can't play it. It would be nice to be directly in charge of the empire.

In addition, the Imperial Cabinet also determined the system of vassal states and suzerains. At this meeting, it will be established.

In mid-September, King Yi Tuo of Korea, King Shonoi of the Ryukyus, King Ahmad Shah of Iran, King Faisal ibn Hussein of Iraq, and King Ahmad Jaber al-Sabah of Kuwait all rushed to the imperial capital of Yanjing. Of course, among these countries, the Kingdom of Korea, the Kingdom of the Ryukyus, and the Kingdom of Iran were vassal states of the Empire, the Kingdom of Kuwait was a protectorate of the Empire, and the King of the Kingdom of Iran was supported by the Empire. The relationship and status are not the same.

Therefore, at this meeting, it is necessary to clarify the relationship.

During the audience with Emperor Wu Haoxuan, the king of Iraq, Faisal ibn al-Hussein, and the king of Kuwait, Ahmad Jaber al-Sabah, expressed the hope that they would become vassal states of the empire like other countries. Of course, this was instructed to them by someone sent by the Reich Foreign Office. If they don't, the Empire doesn't mind having the kings of these two countries change.

The two kings also knew that their country was completely under the control of the Chinese Empire, and they simply did not have the capital to rebel against the Chinese Empire. Naturally, what the Chinese Empire says is what it is.

Subsequently, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet held a meeting with these kings and began to study the realization of zero tariffs in the Chinese Empire and the vassal states to promote economic and trade development. At the same time, the change of king of a vassal state needs to accept the canonization of the suzerain, the internal affairs of the vassal state need to be guided by the suzerain, the diplomatic needs of the vassal state are the same as that of the suzerain, and the military defense of the vassal state must be integrated with the suzerain, and so on.

It can be said that this was all about giving the Chinese Empire complete control over these vassal states. And they, the kings, will be puppets from now on. If you are loyal to the Chinese Empire, you will also gain a certain amount of power and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. If there are two hearts, they will be directly replaced by the Chinese Empire.

In this regard, the kings of these vassal states naturally did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction. After all, the Chinese Empire now has troops stationed in all of these vassal states. If they dare to oppose it, they will be able to overthrow their rule at once and replace it with an obedient king. Anyway, there are quite a few people who are staring at those thrones. The Empire is able to find obedient people anytime and anywhere.

The reason why the empire did this was to redefine the system of suzerainty and vassal to ensure the status of the Chinese empire. In the future, they will be able to directly lead these vassal states against other countries.

Although, at present, these vassal states are still very few and weak. But first set this rule, and when other countries join in the future, the empire will act according to it.

The world is so big, it is impossible for an empire to occupy all the territory. Therefore, the empire needs to build a system of future world domination. It is like the colonial system built by the two old colonial powers, the British and the French.
