"Your Excellency! His Majesty the Emperor asks the government of the island country to immediately return the occupied imperial colonies. Happy; Wen; + And pay the Reich 100 million marks as compensation for the damage caused to the Reich by the actions of the island nation. The Empire rejected the island's government's request to join the Allies. In addition, the Imperial Government advises your government not to be insatiable. Those British colonies were about to belong to the Empire. If your government dares to attack those British colonies, wait for the wrath of the Empire! Jacob stood in front of Yasuya Uchida, looking proud.

Yasuya Uchida's face was pale, even if he wanted to try to control his emotions, but in such a situation, he still felt that he couldn't do it. Although, he has long known that the demands of the government of the island nation will not work. However, I did not expect the Germans to be so ruthless. This is a complete humiliation to the government of the island nation.

After announcing the reply of His Majesty the Kaiser and the government of Germany, Jacob left haughtily.

"Damn the Germans, how dare you humiliate us like this and look down on us! Someday, you'll pay for it! Yasuya Uchida said through gritted teeth.

The German government's relentless refusal, as well as the humiliation of the island government, made Uchida almost angry. He knows very well that once such news is transmitted back to China, what kind of reaction will be made to those people in China. After the rise of the island nation through two wars, the self-confidence of the island people has become a little bursting. When the time comes, they will definitely go to war against Germany regardless of it. Of course, the current Germany and the island countries were already in a state of war.

Only this time the island government's ambitions will be even greater. They were going to attack the British colonies. In that case, it would undoubtedly infuriate the Germans completely. What the consequences will be, no one knows. However, what Uchida Yasuya was a little worried about was that the strength of the Germans was too strong, and the island would defeat the Germans like the last time it defeated Russia. If it can win, then the island nation will naturally soar into the sky and become the hegemon of the Far East. However, if it fails, all the achievements made by the island nation since the Meiji Restoration will probably be in vain.

"I hope Alawasu can bless us and defeat the enemy again!" After sighing, Yasuya Uchida sent a telegram to China, detailing the contact with Germany.

Takaaki Kato, the foreign minister of the island nation, was also dumbfounded after receiving the telegram from Yasuya Uchida.

"Yaga! Damn the Germans, they are humiliating the Reich! Kato was furious. Although, in hindsight, it occurred to him that with Germany's current prestige, it was unlikely that he would agree to the island nations intervening and snatching the fruits of victory that belonged to them. He believed, however, that Germany would have ignored the actions of the island nations when it was beyond the reach of the Far East. However, now Germany did not hesitate to refuse them and warned them. This is undoubtedly an unacceptable humiliation for the islanders whose self-esteem has exploded.

After reading the telegram, Takaaki Kato immediately rushed to the Prime Minister's Office to report to Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma.

When Okuma Shigenobu learned of this, his face suddenly became very ugly.

"Kato-kun, it seems that we took everything for granted, thinking that the Germans would suffer this dumb loss. However, the attitude of the Germans was unexpectedly tough! This time, we're in trouble! Shigenobu Okuma said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. The Germans have clearly warned us. If we attack the British colonies again, the Germans will certainly not let us go easily. When the time comes, a big war will be inevitable. Takaaki Kato said.

Shigenobu Okuma frowned, although he believed that the combat effectiveness of the army of the island country* was not weak, but the strength of the German army was already world-famous. This made him feel a little uncertain. If the armies of the island nation* and the Germans went to war, would they be able to win? If you win, everything will be easy to say. But if it fails, the consequences may be serious. When the time comes, the rise of the island nation will be interrupted by life. If they want to become a world-class power, they will be like a mirror in the mirror.

"Gather the other cabinet ministers and discuss this matter!" Okuma Shigenobu commanded.

"Your Excellency, what about the senators? I'm afraid I'll have to invite them too. Takaaki Kato reminded.

Okuma Shigenobu nodded: "Let's all go to the mansion of Lord Yama County!" This meeting was held at the county magistrate's meeting. ”

Half an hour later, the five ministers and five elders of the island's cabinet gathered in the study room of Youpeng in Shanxian County.

"Kato-kun, let's tell you about the situation!" Shigenobu Okuma said.

"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Kato nodded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Germans have formally rejected our request to join the Central Powers, and have demanded that we return their colonies, and that we pay them reparations of 100 million marks. In addition, the Germans warned us against attacking the British colonies, claiming that they were theirs. If we dare not heed their advice, they will send an army to teach us a lesson! Takaaki Kato said.

"Yaga!"

The heads of the governments of the island countries have been filled with righteous indignation, and those with a fiery personality have even begun to scold.

"Damn the Germans, the Reich was kind enough to help them fight the British, and agreed to return their colonies. But they have failed the good intentions of the Empire. On the contrary, it humiliates the empire. This is clearly to look down on the empire. The Empire will not be able to let them go! Lu Xianggang Ichinosuke scolded.

"It seems that it is no longer possible for us to take advantage of the opportunity to join the Central Powers and seek to seize the British colonies in the Far East. At the same time, the Germans began to pay attention to us. This is not a good thing for the Empire. Dashan Yan said.

"So, guys, what shall we do now?" Shan County Youpeng's face was gloomy, and everyone knew that he was in a rage. If he hadn't suppressed his anger, I'm afraid it would have erupted a long time ago.

"We will never be able to accede to the demands of the Germans. Since they did not allow us to join the Central Powers, it was impossible for us to return those colonies to them. As for compensation, there is no need to think about it. Even if they threaten us with war, what can they do? If it were really fought in the Far East, the empire would still have a home advantage, and it might not lose to them! Okaichi said impatiently.
