In the imperial study, Li Weiguo pondered for a long time.

Wu Yong proposed the tactic of encroachment step by step, which gave Li Weiguo a new idea.

Historically, the Qin Dynasty relied on the encroachment of the Chu State step by step, and finally became the strongest overlord to unify the six countries.

Far from it, Japan in modern history also gradually annexed China by encroaching step by step. Among them, the September 18 Incident is the most representative, leaving behind a national shame -- the policy of non-resistance.

Of course, as far as Li Weiguo is concerned, if he wants to take a correct view of history, he must discard the political factors of the past, and he cannot evaluate the policy of non-resistance from a political point of view, but can only analyze it from an objective military point of view. The course of world history finally proved that the policy of non-resistance was correct, and China was given six years of respite, which was finally delayed until the United States entered the war, the World Anti-Fascist League was established, and finally won the victory. The exchange of space for time mentioned in the protracted war is essentially the same as the policy of non-resistance, except that the former is smarter with different political stances.

Today's British Empire, which is very similar to the situation of the Republic of China in history, is also not ready for a full-scale war with the Chinese Empire.

The British knew very well that the Chinese Empire's Dreadnought-class battleships were currently invincible, and the British Empire wanted to start a war against China, and without gaining sea supremacy, it would simply not be able to shake the Chinese Empire, and it would be absolutely impossible to defeat the Chinese Empire. Even if the British Empire still has the United States and Japan as allies, it is a pity that both the United States and Japan are across the sea from the Chinese Empire, and they also do not have dreadnought battleships, and they are also unable to obtain sea supremacy, so what if the British, American, and Japanese Triple Alliance? None of them can defeat the Chinese Empire.

What will the leaders of the British Empire do in such a situation? Knowing that you can't beat it, you have to fight hard, that's *** behavior.

However, the British Empire's first-class dreadnought battleships were already under construction, and only the first-class dreadnoughts were in service, and the British Imperial Navy was capable of fighting the Chinese Empire.

At present, there is still more than a year before the completion of the first class of dreadnought battleships of the British Empire, and it is logical that the Saul government, as the leader of the British Empire, can only temporarily avoid the edge in the face of the military provocation of the Chinese Empire and choose a policy of non-resistance.

Wu Yong's step-by-step encroachment tactics seem to be the most in line with the current core interests of the Chinese Empire, grabbing the maximum benefits at the lowest cost, taking advantage of the British policy of non-resistance, quickly annexing Papua, and then annexing the Solomon Islands and New Zealand.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo picked up the phone and approved the military department's step-by-step encroachment plan. At the same time, Li Weiguo also called the Li Fan Yuan and informed Zhang Peilun to actively cooperate with the military's actions.

At the same time, the British Empire's ambassador to China also submitted a letter of protest to the Imperial Chinese Government, demanding that the Chinese Empire restrain its navy, stop shelling Moresby, and prevent similar acts from happening again.

After Zhang Peilun received Li Weiguo's instructions, he quickly made preparations. In the face of the protest of the British Empire, Zhang Peilun resolutely denied that it was the fault of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and resolutely insisted on the "excuse" submitted by Li Weijun and Liu Yongfu, and the two Chinese Imperial soldiers were illegally arrested by the British troops in the Moresby Fortress, and demanded that troops be sent to search, otherwise the Chinese Empire would take military action.

At the same time, the American government and the Japanese government also successively issued "concerns" to the Chinese Empire, demanding that the Chinese Empire act prudently, clearly stating that the British Empire is an ally of the United States and Japan, and emphasizing the military alliance between the three countries.

In this regard, Zhang Peilun sternly warned the United States not to act rashly, otherwise the Chinese Empire would not be polite. As for Japan, Zhang Peilun directly ignored it and ignored the protests of the Japanese at all.

You must know that at present, the Chinese Empire has established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level with Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Russia and other countries, with Austria, Turkey, Spain, Pakistan, Argentina and Chile, and with Belgium, Portugal, Rwanda, Greece and other countries at the consular level.

As for Japan, there is currently only one office between the Chinese Empire and Japan, which shows that Japan is only the fourth level and the coldest diplomatic relationship in the eyes of the Chinese Empire.

In fact, the Chinese Empire did not allow the emergence of a powerful country in its neighbors, especially in Asia, and did not allow the emergence of two suns, but Japan thought that it was a sun and called for the Chinese Empire.

Originally, the Chinese Empire did not even want to set up an office, but because the United States, Britain and Japan were in a Triple Alliance, the Chinese Empire inevitably had to deal with Britain and the United States, and Britain and the United States always brought Japanese friends, so the Chinese Empire had no choice, so an office was set up with Japan.

Now a commissioner of a district office dared to come to protest to Zhang Peilun, that is, Zhang Peilun was in a good mood, otherwise he would have kicked the Japanese commissioner back to Japan earlier.

"The Chinese Empire is too arrogant to take our Confederate States of America in its eyes at all! I propose that the United States, Britain, and Japan immediately convene an emergency military conference, and I do not believe that no matter how strong the Chinese Empire is, it can still be stronger than our three countries, the United States, Britain, and Japan! ”

At the White House, the U.S. Foreign Secretary filed a complaint against U.S. President Grant for blackmail.

"Damn it!"

Grant slammed the table hard, looking angry.

He immediately picked up the phone and asked to speak to Saul in London.

Soon, the US-UK special line was connected.

"Prime Minister Saul, are you British men dead? Why not fight back? ”

On the other side of the phone, Thor's ears were tingling from Grant's angry voice, and he quickly moved the phone away from his ears.

After a while, he replied, "Mr. Grant, please understand our distress, now is not the time to go to war with the Chinese Empire. ”

Grant is just for show, don't look at the British, American, and Japanese Triple Alliance, but if there is no benefit, Grant will not be able to easily start a war with the Chinese Empire, the reason why he shows anger is that he is angry at the aggressive reply of the Chinese Empire, and the other is to show concern for the British allies.

Hearing Saul say that he couldn't start a war with the Chinese Empire for the time being, Grant was actually relieved in his heart. Joining the British Empire really started a fight with the Chinese Empire, then the United States would have to enter the war, and that is not a good thing now, at least for the time being, the United States has not reached the point where it has to fight to the death with the Chinese Empire.

"I have just ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest to the Chinese Empire! The attitude of the Chinese Empire is so bad that I can't help but give the order to go to war! ”

When Saul heard this, he immediately said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. President, for your support!" Please bear with me for a while, Mr. President, we will have to wait until the day when the Dreadnought battleship is commissioned! As you know, we have obtained information on the battle between the Vikings and the main fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and the Chinese Empire's Dreadnought-class battleships are so powerful that the main warships of the world are no match for them at present! ”

Grant suddenly frowned and said, "So what? The combined population of our three countries, the United States, Britain and Japan exceeds that of the Chinese Empire, and the total economic volume is about the same, even if we can't beat it at sea, we will be able to crush the Chinese Empire on land! ”

Saul was originally a little grateful, but after hearing this, his face suddenly twitched, and he secretly scolded Grant in his heart: Your uncle, starting a war with the Chinese Empire on land is simply bullshit. Everyone knows that the United States does not share a land border with the Chinese Empire, and the only land bordering the Chinese Empire is the Indian colonies and the Canadian colonies of the British Empire.

In fact, this is also Grant's ambition, don't look at the US-British alliance, allies are used to sell. As the president of the United States, Grant naturally has to always think about the interests of the United States. At present, the global colonies are almost divided, and the economy of the United States has entered the stage of imperialism, and it is necessary to open up overseas colonies and markets, but the largest colonies in the world have been divided between the Chinese Empire and the British Empire.

Is it too big and too dangerous for the United States to want to seize colonies from the Chinese Empire, after all, its military capabilities cannot defeat the Chinese Empire. But the British Empire was getting weaker, and it was not difficult for Grant to swell his ambitions. Especially in the case of the failure of the US invasion of Cuba, at this moment Grant regretted that his intestines were blue, and he wanted to withdraw his troops from Cuba immediately, but once the troops were withdrawn from Cuba, face was a trivial matter, loss was a trivial matter, and the key was that the colonies did not have it!

Give up the Cuban colony, who will rob it? The Chinese Empire or the British Empire, only these two countries have the most colonies, and apparently Grant wants to pick up soft persimmons to pinch.

At this moment, in Grant's heart, the most desired outcome is that the Chinese Empire and the British Empire will be stumbling, so that the British Empire will be weakened again, so that the United States will have the opportunity to annex the Canadian colonies of the British Empire.

For Canada, successive leaders of the United States wanted to occupy it, and this is not an idea of a day or two, the whole world knows it.

At the same time, Canada is the same, and has made plans to invade the United States many times throughout its history.

It can be said that at this time, the United States and Canada are far from being as harmonious as they appear on the surface, and they are secretly calculating each other.

Grant was a soldier, he knew best what the American army wanted, and the expansion to Mexico to the south had come to an end, Mexico was too poor, with a large population and few resources, and it was not cost-effective for the United States to seize Mexican territory, because it would lower the living standards of Americans. But it would be different if you went north to seize Canada, Canadians were few, rich, rich in resources, and a big piece of fat.

Suppose that China and Britain go to war, the Chinese Empire invades Canada, and then the United States sends troops, either to drive out the Chinese Empire's Shence Army and monopolize Canada, or to negotiate with the Chinese Empire to carve up Canada, which is a perfect thing.

At this moment, Grant has already calculated in his heart that allies are used to sell!

Saul, on the other side of the phone, knew that Grant was not a good thing, and that an alliance with the United States and a tiger was a strategy that had to be adopted at the moment. In the future, even if Britain, the United States and Japan defeat the Chinese Empire, then the world hegemon may not return to the hands of the British Empire, and it is likely that the United States will pick peaches, so Saul knows very well in his heart that as long as the British Empire does not give up its world hegemony, even if the Chinese Empire is defeated, it will still face the challenge of the United States.

This is the case between countries, they cheat each other, and they cheat each other, it depends on who is more pitiful!

"We, the British Imperial Army, are not ready! What a lack of money! However, if Your Excellency the President funds us another billion dollars, I think our British Imperial Army will definitely have a showdown with the Chinese Empire now! ”

Grant rolled his eyes suddenly, and scolded Saul in his heart for being shameless, Nima had cheated billions of dollars in aid from the United States again and again over the years, and he dared to lick his face to fund.

"When you mention the matter of funding, I would like to ask, when will the interest on the loan owed to us by your country be repaid!"

"Please rest assured, Mr. President, that the British Empire and the United States are allies, and we will never repay our debts, and we will definitely return them after a while! Otherwise, you can lend us another billion dollars so that we can pay you back the interest on the last loan! ”

Poof!

Grant almost vomited blood!

"I still have something to do, let's talk about it next time!"

"Hey! Feed! Mr. President, I'm not done yet......"

Thor laughed when he heard the phone hang up.

"Humph! You, Grant, are just a martial artist, and you still want to fight with me for political wisdom? ”

Sol was just happy for three seconds when a call from the Ministry of Defense came in.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, something is wrong, the Chinese Imperial Army has captured the Moresby Fortress!"

"What? How is this possible? Didn't the Moresby Fortress have 10,000 defenders? Karan, that bastard, is it a burning stick in his hand? ”

"Your Excellency, didn't you order that resistance should not be allowed? The Chinese Imperial Army suddenly attacked the Moresby Fortress, and due to the sudden interruption of communications, Karan could not be contacted for a while, so he could only withdraw from the Moresby Fortress! ”

Poof!

Salton's old blood spurted three liters!

Moresby Bay.

The Marines of the Imperial Chinese Army landed directly in the port, and there was no resistance from the British along the way, so the Imperial Chinese Army quickly occupied the port wharf, and soon all the heavy equipment of the Marines went ashore.

Li Weijun and Liu Yongfu decided to attack the Moresby Fortress directly.

This time, Li Weijun and Liu Yongfu brought a Marine Brigade in full formation, fully equipped, and the army had just launched an attack on the Moresby Fortress when they found that all the British troops had withdrawn.

Karan was angry, but he had to carry out the Ministry of Defense's policy of non-resistance. Seeing that the Chinese Imperial Army attacked the Moresby Fortress and communications were cut off, Karan had no choice but to order an evacuation to avoid engaging the Chinese Imperial Army.

The British retreated in a hurry, and a large number of guns, ammunition and military supplies were piled up in the entire Moresby Fortress, and they were not remembered to take away, and all of them were captured by the Chinese Imperial Army.

When Li Weijun and Liu Yongfu arrived at the Moresby Fortress, they were stunned to see such a huge amount of loot.

After being a soldier for so many years, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation.

At this moment, Li Weijun and Liu Yongfu no longer hated the British, but liked the British. (To be continued.) )
