When the news of Japan's official surrender appeared on the headlines of major domestic news newspapers the next day, the whole country instantly celebrated, and the domestic firecracker merchants were even more smiling, because Japan's surrender led to every household in the country, including factories and shops, also set off firecrackers to celebrate, which was equivalent to creating another sales season for firecracker merchants outside the Spring Festival. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

And the country is not only happy firecracker merchants, there is no shortage of shrewd businessmen in all walks of life, the empire defeated Japan, a strong enemy, they are naturally happy, but happiness can not be eaten, and since they are engaged in the shopping mall, it is natural to make money as the first purpose.

As a result, the streets and alleys of the country can be seen everywhere to celebrate the defeat of Japan and discounts, promotions and other words of the slogan, and then, there are businesses began to frequently come up with strange tricks, where there are active duty soldiers at home, or due to injury of retired soldiers, as long as they can show the certificate, you can receive a beautiful gift to the store, and the consumption enjoyment is discounted.

According to this discount, what the merchants earn in this activity is basically just a hard fee, of course, this hard fee is not a small amount for ordinary people, maybe this is their salary for several months or even a year, but for the merchants, compared with the previous profits, this money is really a hard fee.

For them, as long as they don't lose money, they can make a small profit, and more importantly, they can also advertise their stores in this way to attract people.

There is no contradiction between celebrating and making money, and for a while, a wave of consumption has also been set off in China. As for this kind of lavish spending, will it happen in this era of simple folk customs in China? Don't worry at all, take advantage of the discount now, who won't settle the account? It would be a fool not to buy it now.

And after just a few days, the Imperial Treasury was also instantly excited, because with the increase in the amount of domestic consumption in the short term, the Ministry of Finance will receive a large amount of taxes, which is still of great help to the Ministry of Finance, which is financially tight.

Unlike the jubilation at home, countries around the world also have different views and worries about Japan's surrender. And the biggest headache must be the Americans, undoubtedly.

Because the Americans decided not long ago to send military aid to Japan, as a result, the first batch of military aid has already been on the way, and the second batch of military aid has also been transported to the dock, just waiting for the ship to come back and can be loaded and set off, but at this time you told me that Japan surrendered, is there such a play?

And in addition to the fact that this investment of the Americans will be wasted, more serious problems are yet to come. For example, when this batch of military aid docked, they found that it was not the Japanese who were waiting to receive military aid, but the Chinese who had completely controlled Japan.

Then it is equivalent to the Americans directly throwing themselves into the net, plunging headlong into the arms of the Chinese, and telling them that this batch of materials is used by the United States to support Japan.

China is at war with Japan, but the United States is secretly making trouble behind it, once this matter allows the Chinese to get actual evidence, what kind of sensation will it cause in the world? Needless to say, the Americans are well aware.

Originally, the Americans hoped to use this batch of military aid to help Japan delay the Chinese, so that they could never withdraw from Japan.

But now that Japan has surrendered, the war that China has just launched has ended, and the Chinese have no losses in this war, their strength is still there, and the materials originally prepared for attacking Japan are still piled up there, so once the Americans hit the muzzle, the Chinese will not even save time for preparation, and they can directly send troops to attack the United States.

Of course, it is not realistic to attack the continental United States, after all, it is too far away, and there is a Pacific Ocean in between. But there is still a high possibility of attacking American colonies, such as the Philippines, which is not far from China proper.

Therefore, for the Americans, the most important task at the moment is to stop the fleet that has not yet arrived in Japan, and let them not go near Japan, so as not to be overwhelmed by others and at the same time bring huge trouble to the United States.

After learning the news of Japan's surrender, Wilhelm II sent the German ambassador to China, Mümer, to send a congratulatory telegram, and once again invited the Chinese Empire to join the Allied bloc and launch a rebellion against the Entente bloc, which oppressed the whole world, and said no to them.

Wang Sirui still continued the previous strategy, but thanked the Kaiser for his congratulations, and once again delayed the matter with procrastination.

After learning that the Germans had been summoned by the Chinese Emperor Wang Sirui again, the British became ants on a hot pot for a while, and they could only submit applications for visits again and again.

Finally, three days later, on June 22, the British ambassador to China, Sadaoyi, received a summons letter from Emperor Wang Sirui.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, on behalf of King George V of the British Empire and tens of millions of British citizens, I congratulate you and your empire on winning this just war......" Sa Daoyi said a lot of official words, and Wang Sirui was a little drowsy when he listened.

The original King Edward VII died a little more than a month ago, and George V succeeded as the new King of England, and the situation in England is slightly better than that of Japan, at least they have a successor who can be trusted. Although George V still had no clue about the war, and even saw no hope of victory, he could only accept it for the sake of Britain.

The Chinese Empire is still an important ally that George V needs to vigorously woo, and in this regard, George V maintained a high degree of consistency with his father Edward VII, and during the period when Edward VII was seriously ill, it was George V who was responsible for liaising with the United States and the Chinese Empire.

Of course, the US military aid to Japan was actually the method that George V came up with and personally carried out behind the scenes.

But no one expected that the Japanese would lose so quickly that they completely disrupted George V's layout.

Originally, according to George V's idea, since the Chinese chose to delay, then give them a reason not to get out and let them get caught up in the Japanese battlefield, which is undoubtedly the best result. Although it was possible that the British would not be able to obtain the Chinese Empire as an ally, it would at least ensure that the Germans would not be able to obtain this ally as well.

And the British at least have the United States as an ally behind them, although they are still at a disadvantage on the battlefield, they can barely support themselves.

Originally, this was just a normal meeting, but after defeating Japan, it also meant that the Chinese Empire no longer had a rival in Asia that could be taken seriously. As arrogant as it sounds, that's exactly what it is.

The British were pinned down in the European theater and were not able to take care of Asia at all, and Japan, which had ambitions for Asia, was now defeated, and the Americans were too far away to prepare for war, and even if they started preparing now, according to the personality of the Americans, it would take at least one to two years, and such a long time would have been enough for the empire to do a lot of things.

Therefore, when Wang Sirui received the news of Japan's surrender, he had already begun to plan the next development direction of the empire. Although the empire seems to lack nothing on the surface, in fact, Wang Sirui knows very well that there is another strategic material that the empire is very lacking, that is, rubber.

Southeast Asia is also a rubber-producing region, which is mainly distributed in the Philippines and Malaysia, and there are a large number of Chinese there, in Wang Sirui's territory, Southeast Asia will return to the embrace of the empire sooner or later.

Therefore, after solving the hidden danger of Japan, there is no need for Wang Sirui to hide his intentions, in other words, it is time for a showdown, and the empire also has the strength to have a showdown with the British.

"As much as I would like to receive congratulations from the King and the British people, I'm sorry I can't accept such congratulations until I have figured something out." Wang Sirui looked at Sa Daoyi with a wicked smile and said.

Sa Daoyi is also an old acquaintance of Wang Sirui, at least the two have been dealing with each other for more than ten years, and they are also very familiar with each other.

Although he didn't know what Wang Sirui was going to ask, but with his understanding of Wang Sirui, it was not difficult to guess that the next question Wang Sirui was going to ask must be something that would be difficult for Britain to do, and this question is likely to affect the layout of the entire United Kingdom, and even affect the future positioning of the Chinese Empire.

Sa Daoyi could only secretly complain in his heart, and forced a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, please ask, but if I know anything, I will definitely tell Your Majesty truthfully." ”

"After the outbreak of the war in Europe, the Americans must have provided you with a lot of assistance, right?" Wang Sirui asked with a smile.

Sa Daoyi nodded, there is no need to hide this question, and there is no reason to hide it, and when Wang Sirui asked this question, Sa Daoyi also subconsciously guessed that this could be a temptation of the Chinese emperor, which side has strong war strength, and which side of the Chinese Empire is likely to join.

And in order to get the ally of the Chinese Empire, Sa Daoyi can be said to have done everything, not only telling Wang Sirui the truth, but also planning to add fuel and vinegar.

"Yes, the United States is a loyal ally of the British Empire, although the two sides have not yet signed an alliance agreement, but if necessary, the British Empire and the United States can sign an entente at any time, in fact, the United States is already preparing for war, and it is only a matter of time before the United States joins the entente."

"Since the United States is a loyal ally of Britain, can I assume that Japan is also a loyal ally of the United States?" Wang Sirui's voice changed, and he suddenly asked.
