Chapter 552: Britain Surrenders

Ross was very sad, thinking that he had quietly slipped away while the stall of the fierce battle between the two sides, but he was clever and mistaken, and he was caught by Duan Qirui without paying attention, and as a result, Ross's personal guard battalion had to lay down his arms and surrender, which saved Duan Qirui a lot of trouble.

Duan Qirui ordered his men to escort Ross, Chamberlain and others to meet Li Weijun and Yuan Shikai, while he continued the mission with the rest of the men, attacking Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to capture the Queen of England and other core members of the British government.

At this time, London was already in chaos, and the dignitaries were busy fleeing, loading large bags and small bags, and the British garrison guarding London were either deserters, or were requisitioned by these dignitaries and dignitaries to escort them out of London. The British troops who were really still on the front line and engaged the Chinese Imperial Army were less than 3,000 people.

These 3,000 men, who almost represented the last honour of the British Empire, were exercising chivalry in a vain attempt to arouse the will of the British people to resist.

This part of the British army that insisted on resisting was respected by the soldiers of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire, and sent them on their last journey with military etiquette.

As for the army of more than 100,000 citizens of London, which had been temporarily armed by the British government, it had already collapsed and was now reduced to robbers, killing his comrades in his own country.

Banks, shops, and gold shops were looted, and gun-armed Londoners even fought among themselves because of the uneven distribution of accounts.

Some fierce London citizens organized groups to rob the vehicles of those dignitaries, and the repressed hearts of the rich class on weekdays erupted like a volcano at this moment, not only robbing the treasures of the dignitaries, but also hating the rich and shooting the rich, xo rich wives and ladies.

Once any heavenly civilized society loses order, the ugly side of human nature will burst out and become a hell on earth.

While Ross and Chamberlain were escorted, they saw the chaotic city of London from the car window, and their hearts were like knives. At this moment, he couldn't wait to sign an armistice and peace treaty with the Chinese Empire immediately, and then free his hands to suppress these rebellious mobs, he really couldn't bear to see the scenes of burning, killing, looting, rape, and plunder.

"Hurry up and drive, I want to see your Supreme Commander immediately!"

Rose suddenly yelled at the Chinese Shence Army soldiers who were driving in front of him.

The soldier turned around and was about to beat Rose, but was stopped by the officer next to him.

Ross and Chamberlain soon arrived at the banks of the Thames in Henry Street, where they boarded the battleship Fury and met with Lee.

"Mr. Rose, frightened!"

Li Weijun came to greet him and said to Ross with a smile.

Rose glanced at Li Weijun angrily, at this moment he hated Li Weijun in his heart, if it wasn't for this guy's representative raid on London, these things that made the British lose face would not have happened.

However, a captive should have the appearance of a captive, Ross knows very well that the Chinese Empire is a state of etiquette, and it has always been a salute before a soldier, don't look at Li Weijun at this moment, if you don't know how to lift, I'm afraid you will humiliate yourself the next moment.

Ross was shrewd and immediately pleaded: "On behalf of the British Empire, I surrender to your country, and I would like to ask Lord Lee to immediately suppress the riots in the city of London!" ”

Li Weijun said with a smile: "As far as I know, you, as the British Prime Minister, have abandoned London and fled, and at present, Your Excellency Ka Meilun, the Speaker of the General Assembly of your country, is negotiating with our country on behalf of your country. ”

Ross blushed suddenly, running away was the most hated thing in his life. It's not that he is willing to give up London, it's just that London can't hold it at all, and if he runs late, he will be betrayed by Ka Meilun and pulled out as a surrender envoy. In this case, surrender was inevitable, but Ross was unwilling to become the prime minister of the British Empire who surrendered to the Chinese Empire, and his lifelong wisdom would be completely ruined, so he fled without hesitation, but unfortunately he was finally captured.

A brilliant politician, Ross quickly regained his composure.

"Lord Li, I now officially appoint the Speaker of the Kameilun as the special envoy of the British Empire to negotiate with your country!"

Li Weijun didn't understand, but quickly figured it out, it turned out that Ross wanted Kamei to take turns to be the negotiation envoy and let others be hacked.

It's treacherous enough!

But if you are like a ghost, you have to drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water!

Soon, Li Weijun invited Ka Meilun over to meet Rose.

It turned out that Li Weijun had been negotiating with Ka Meilun before, but Li Weijun wanted to grab the greatest benefits, and Ka Meilun was also a ghost, and he didn't want to become a sinner in the British Empire, and he didn't want to carry the black pot, so he was unwilling to agree to some harsh conditions for Li Weijun, resulting in the negotiation between the two has not been negotiated.

The Chinese Imperial Army kept attacking, forcing Ka Meilun to sweat profusely, and agreeing to Li Weijun's harsh conditions would be tantamount to betraying the British Empire, but if he didn't agree, when London completely fell, there would be no room for negotiation.

Just when Ka Meilun had a headache, she learned the news that Rose had been arrested.

At that moment, Ka Meilun laughed.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you have come at a very timely time! The Chinese Empire has gone too far, and the lion has opened his mouth to demand the unconditional surrender of our British Empire! I can rest assured that you are here, I am a big speaker, and I have no right to negotiate at all, and I have to count on the Prime Minister for the next negotiations! ”

β€œsowhatοΌŸβ€

Rose was momentarily stunned.

Looking at Ka Mei's treacherous expression, how could Rose not understand what the other party meant, and wanted to kick this girl to death.

The two old foxes had their eyes fired, and after a fierce exchange of fire, Rose was defeated.

As Prime Minister of the British Empire, Ross could not refuse Kamei's request.

Ross sighed suddenly, knowing that he was about to become a sinner in the history of the British Empire.

The British Empire Parliamentary Group, headed by Kameilun, wants to make peace with the Chinese Empire, and they will not carry the black cauldron, so even if Ross himself is unwilling, the Kameilun group will force Ross to sign a traitorous contract, and Ross will bear the black cauldron.

This is almost always the usual method of politicians in various countries, so as a politician, Ross already knows his fate.

He was powerless to resist and could only accept the task.

Of course, in the next negotiations, Ross still tried his best to fight for some interests for the British Empire, but the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and Ross negotiates with Li Weijun, a guy who can pluck the feathers on the head of the iron rooster.

In the end, Rose burst into tears, and in front of Li Weijun, his negotiation method was completely useless, because the other party was holding a loaded pistol.

On a provisional armistice document, Ross signed it on behalf of the British Empire.

The content of the agreement was simple, there was only one clause, and that was to surrender unconditionally to the Chinese Empire. As a condition, the Chinese Empire allowed the Queen of England to continue to lead the British Empire, transferring power to the British Empire and withdrawing from the British Empire three years after the Chinese Empire took over.

This condition does not seem excessive, but politicians know very well that after the Chinese Empire takes over the British Empire, whether it will be able to return power to the British Empire in the future depends on the mood of the Chinese Empire.

However, politicians like to play this kind of trick, as long as they can fool the people, any conditions can be negotiated.

Ross signed this clause, and the British Parliament expressed no objection to this clause, so the British Empire Prime Minister's Office sent a telegram to the whole country, announcing unconditional surrender to the Chinese Empire.

Surrender to the Chinese Empire, not to the Allied bloc, there is something to be said about this. In the event of a surrender to the Allied bloc, then the British troops in France had to cease combat operations and surrender directly to the German forces opposite.

The Chinese Empire and the German Empire shared the same bed, and Ross knew this very well, so he only surrendered to the Chinese Empire, in order to make China and Germany break in advance, so that the British Empire would have a chance to re-emerge.

When Ross announced his surrender to the British inhabitants of the entire British Isles as British Prime Minister, countless British people were stunned, hesitant and angry, and some British people who were tired of war finally breathed a sigh of relief, whether it was victory or defeat, there was not much change in the lives of ordinary Britons, so it didn't matter, because victory and defeat, gains and losses were all British interest groups, and had nothing to do with the common people at the bottom.

From September 1894 to May 1897, nearly three years of war had already brought down the economy of the British Empire, so even if the Chinese Empire did not attack the British Empire itself, the British Empire would be the last stand.

In this life, without the assistance of the United States, it would have been impossible for the British Empire to hold out for another four years until victory, so what awaited the end of the British Empire could only be defeat and surrender.

The lesser of two evils, Ross and the British nobles chose to surrender unconditionally to the Chinese Empire, which was a bet, they lost this war, so they had to gamble on the next war. Ross and other British elites believed that the next war would inevitably break out between China and Germany, so when the Chinese Empire went to war with the German Empire, the British Empire was likely to become a pawn against the German Empire, and could take the opportunity to get rid of the control of the Chinese Empire.

This was Rose's strategy, and he used this sentence to convince the British aristocracy such as Kameilun. And the British aristocrats such as Ka Meilun let Ross bear the blame this time, and they felt guilty, so they agreed that the next British government would still be led by Ross.

So, Rose created the best ending for himself in the most unfavorable circumstances.

Next, Rus reorganized his cabinet and continued to lead the British Empire under the supervision of the Chinese Empire.

Li Weijun was busy deploying troops, and the Chinese Imperial Shence Army took over London and even the entire British Isles.

Of course, not all British accepted unconditional surrender to the Chinese Empire, and a small number of British resisted. However, their resistance was too weak, the economy of the British Empire had collapsed, and the British had no military resources to support them to continue their confrontation with the Chinese Empire, and they were all crushed in less than a week.

On April 28, 3997, and on June 1, 1897, the army of the Chinese Empire occupied the entire territory of the British Empire, and the whole world was shocked.

At the same time, the British Royal Navy and the French Royal Navy, which were in the Barents Sea, were engaged in a military confrontation with the German High Seas Fleet.

Although history changed and Hitler persuaded Wilhelm II to appoint the treacherous Tirpitz as commander of the German High Seas Fleet, he did not take advantage of it at first, and never even had the opportunity to attack the transports.

It was not until Admiral Lawrence, the commander of the British Royal Navy, received a telegram from Ross that London had fallen and that the Chinese Imperial Shence Army had occupied the entire territory of the British Empire, that the entire British Royal Navy panicked.

Ross left Lawrence to decide whether or not to return to China, and Lawrence understood what Rose meant.

You must know that the British Royal Navy and the Chinese Imperial Navy have a feud, almost all the British naval officers and sailors are clamoring for revenge, but when Lawrence asked everyone to raise their hands to vote, they did not dare to raise their hands, because their families are in the United Kingdom, and now that Britain has fallen and is controlled by the Chinese Empire, if they continue to fight against the Chinese Empire, their families will be retaliated.

This is Li Weijun's cleverness, he saw that Rose agreed too happily, so he guessed that Rose would play tricks. The Royal Navy and the two million British troops fighting in France will be where Ross will play tricks. Li Weijun then sent a telegram directly to Lawrence, the commander of the British Royal Navy, clearly telling Lawrence that if he did not bring the fleet back, he would kill all the families of the British Royal Navy officers and men.

Lawrence also has a large family, even if he refuses to come back, but not everyone in the entire Royal Navy is as cold-blooded as him, and more British Navy will inevitably choose to return home.

So Lawrence had to get everyone to vote together, and the result was that 90% of the British Navy officers and sailors agreed to return home.

However, the changes in the British Royal Navy have already alarmed the French Royal Navy.

The commander of the French Royal Navy, Dai Le, is always keeping an eye on the movements of the British Royal Navy, he hopes to bring all the British Royal Navy back to France, it is hundreds of warships, a powerful force, if it is brought back to France, then it will soon be the French Navy, which will make the French Navy become the second most powerful naval force in the world after the German Navy and the Chinese Empire.

However, when Dai Le found out that the British Royal Navy was going to return home to surrender to the Chinese Empire, he was immediately furious.

It was decided to sneak up on the British Royal Navy and take control of the British fleet.

As a result, the combined Anglo-French fleet fought among themselves, and fierce battles broke out.

Tirpitz, commander of the German High Seas Fleet, was also informed of the fall of Britain, and he guessed that the British Royal Navy must be panicked, so he decided to sneak attack, only to coincide with the British and French naval infighting.

So the German High Seas Fleet took the opportunity to destroy the transport ship group first, completed the task, and then concentrated its firepower on the combined Anglo-French fleet.

Originally, the Anglo-French combined fleet was stronger than the German High Seas Fleet, but the British and French navies were infighting, and their strength was greatly reduced, and as a result, when the German High Seas Fleet sneak attacked, the French Navy, which was already weak, was severely damaged, almost all of them were wiped out, and the British Royal Navy also suffered heavy losses, but the British Royal Navy originally surpassed the German High Seas Fleet in terms of the number of capital ships, and had rich combat experience.

Tirpitz did not want the Royal Navy to return to England, which would invisibly make the Imperial Chinese Navy stronger, so he planned to take the opportunity to destroy the British Royal Navy. It was a pity that Tirpitz realized at this time that the British naval battleships were fast, and after abandoning the ship group, they quickly threw off the pursuit of the German high seas fleet.

Half a month later, Lawrence returned to Britain with more than 200 warships of the British Royal Navy and surrendered to the Chinese Empire. (To be continued.) )
