Chapter 654: Italy is pitted
The princess of the British Empire married to the Chinese Empire as a concubine, which in itself represented the formal submission of the British Empire to the Chinese Empire.
The strategic role of the British Isles to the Chinese Empire is self-evident.
Based in the British Isles, extending north to Iceland and south to Angra Herosísmo, it was a key fortress blocking the German Imperial Navy's access to the Atlantic Ocean along the entire North Atlantic defensive line.
If the Chinese Empire wants to defeat the German Empire and let the Germans kneel and sing about conquest, it will be difficult without the help of the British, so no matter what conspiracy and trickery the British have in their hearts, Li Weiguo can only be the one who comes.
Emily is the royal princess of the British Empire, her status in the white world is particularly noble, and she is also young and beautiful.
However, riding a Yanma is not an easy thing, if you want Emily to sing and conquer willingly, Li Weiguo still has to put some thought into it, fortunately, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the three queens are not used to the problems of foreign girls, and all kinds of discipline tricks are endless, especially the concubines of the Six Palaces, no matter how they fought before, they quickly hugged together at this moment and began to clean up this white Yanma that stood out from the crowd.
The three queens sang black faces, of course Li Weiguo couldn't be happy to come out and be a good person, and finally took Emily, a big horse from the ocean, no matter how she behaved in the future, at least for the time being, she made China and Britain get by on face, and did not make jokes in the world.
As the focus of governments and the media shifted, Emily was soon faded from the public eye.
After the British king's visit to China, the originally calm English Channel soon became cloudy, and various incidents continued.
In the past, the Imperial Chinese Navy often provoked the Imperial German Navy militarily here, but now the Royal Navy of the British Empire is active, and dozens of old warships from time to time provoke the powerful main warships of the German High Seas Fleet.
This made the German Navy very annoyed, ignoring the British Navy, the other side hated the German army all day long, and wanted to teach the British Navy a lesson, and was afraid of beating the small and the old, and it was up to the owner to beat the dog, and the top of the German Empire tried to avoid a head-on war with the Chinese Empire.
It was not a fight without fighting, which made the German Imperial Navy very devastated.
For the Chinese Empire, it is also very cool to watch the British little brother disgust the German Empire all day long without having to go out in person, and the favorability towards the British government is also rising.
In particular, the British government spent money on propaganda in the major media of the Chinese Empire, advocating how harmonious Sino-British relations were, and how the British were willing to follow the Chinese to repair the Germans.
And the Chinese have always been praised, and they were soon praised by the British, who liked to listen to the British sycophants, and their favorability towards the British greatly increased.
All this is in the eyes of a few British high-ranking people such as Edward VII and Ross.
The dozens of old and dilapidated warships of the British Royal Navy soon had various failures when they provoked the German Imperial Navy, so the European Theater Command of the Chinese Empire in London allowed the British Royal Navy to change its equipment for the first time.
Of course, the Chinese Empire is also guarding against Britain, don't look at the political marriage between the Chinese Empire and Britain is in the honeymoon period, and the economy is hot, but militarily it is still very cautious, allowing the British Royal Navy to change equipment, and only giving some old warships that have served in the Chinese Imperial Navy for many years and are decommissioned or about to be decommissioned.
They are also old warships, but for the British Royal Navy, the old warships eliminated by the Chinese Imperial Navy are much better than those of third-rate naval countries such as Austria-Hungary.
Although Edward VII and Ross were still not satisfied with this, as long as they could restore the Royal Navy of the British Empire, even if the recovery was slow, they felt that it was all worth it.
For the cleverness of the British, the Chinese Empire at this time did not take it to heart.
In the eyes of the officials of the Chinese Empire, the strategic goal for a long time to come will still be to defeat the German Empire as the primary task and the ultimate goal to finally unify the whole world.
Since the end of the Liberian War, this southwest African colony of the German Empire fell into the hands of the Chinese Empire, and strategically speaking, the German Empire lost a piece of its overseas colony to the Chinese Empire. From a tactical point of view, the German Imperial Army was wiped out by the Chinese Imperial Army in less than half a month, and the gap between it and the strategic goal set by the German Imperial Headquarters for at least four years was too far behind, and it was equivalent to losing to the Chinese Empire.
However, during the Liberian War, some new equipment of the German Imperial Army aroused the vigilance of the Chinese Empire.
At the first outbreak of the war, the bomber forces hidden in the Sahara Desert by the German Empire, if not misrouted, would have caused a catastrophe to the 100,000 Chinese Imperial Shence Army in the Walvis Bay area. In the later stage of the war, if it were not for Starling's visit to China and secretly betrayed Germany, I am afraid that it would also cause heavy casualties to the unprepared Chinese Imperial Shence Army, and even cause the failure of the plan to encircle and annihilate the German army, and if the main force of the German army at that time successfully escaped into the interior of Africa, then the future guerrilla warfare would have caused a very unfavorable situation for the Chinese Empire.
The Liberian War forced the Chinese Imperial military to sum up lessons and lessons and attach great importance to the German Empire.
In terms of the general direction and strategy of the German Empire, the Chinese Imperial Military still adopted the strategy of surgical action, first cutting off the colonies of the German Empire overseas, cutting off these overseas colonies and continuing to give blood to the German Empire, and then concentrating on attacking the German Empire itself.
After seizing the colonies of German Southwest Africa, the Imperial Chinese military quickly shifted its focus to German East Africa.
German East Africa was located next to the colony of South Africa, which was part of the Chinese Empire, and was rich in gold and diamonds, which was one of the important overseas financial sources of the German Empire.
Originally, in order to win over the Kingdom of Italy against the Chinese Empire, the German Empire handed over the area of German East Africa near South Africa to Italy, and the Chinese Empire always wanted to save Italy as an ally, but unfortunately as the Italian regime fell into the hands of the woman Mo Lini, it has now completely fallen to the German Empire.
Therefore, the next military action of the Chinese Empire was to attack the Kingdom of Italy.
Since the Kingdom of Italy had fallen to the German Empire, a direct attack on the Italian mainland would have no excuse and would provoke a violent reaction from the German Empire, so the Chinese Imperial military continued to carry out surgical operations against German East Africa.
A convoy from the Rietfontaine goldfields deliberately leaked the news of a full load of 200 tons of gold to the neighboring Italians, and even drove along the border between East Africa and South Africa to deliberately lure the Italian troops stationed nearby to take the bait.
The Italians are greedy and have long been blushing when they see South Africa producing huge quantities of gold and diamonds shipped to Cape Town every day.
Led by Captain Antony, an Italian officer in Onsi, East Africa, an Italian army of 100 men could not resist ambushing the convoy and robbing it of two hundred tons of gold.
Of course, there are not as many as two hundred tons of gold, except for a few hundred kilograms of gold covered by the surface, and there are yellow stones underneath.
But when Captain Anthony and his men saw the gold, they were crazy, fearing that it would be discovered by the Chinese Imperial Army, and hurried back to the camp without careful inspection.
An hour later, the African Theater Command of the Chinese Empire in Cape Town received a report, and then everything began according to the plan formulated by the Chinese Imperial military.
The Imperial Government of China sent a note to the Italian ambassador to China, throwing the picture directly in the face of the other party, making the most solemn protest and issuing a warning of war.
When the Italian ambassador to China saw the photo, he was immediately stupid. It was said that this was only a private act of the local garrison, and did not represent the Italian government, which was absolutely not involved.
Soon, the Italian military in Rome responded, immediately calling the command of the Italian garrison in East Africa.
When the commander of the Italian garrison in East Africa heard this, he was also confused, and hurriedly led his troops to the border camp in person, and arrested Antony and other Italian soldiers on the spot.
However, to the devastation of the Italian commander, only one layer of gold on the surface of each car was real, and the bottom was full of yellow stones.
In order to appease the Chinese Empire, the Italian military was bound to execute all the soldiers involved, including Antony, and apologize to the Chinese Empire. At the same time, the Italian government must return all the gold that had been looted.
The Chinese Empire naturally insisted that 200 tons of gold had been robbed, and demanded that the Italian government return it immediately, otherwise there would be a war.
So, when the news came back to Rome, the girl was instantly stupid.
This Nima, Tu Tu Di has been pitted!
