The education and health systems are progressing at the fastest pace. After Wang Chenhao ascended the throne, he invested all the hundreds of millions of assets of the former Qing Dynasty into education and medical construction, so that the universal primary and secondary education could be realized, and the overall quality of education of the people would be greatly improved. The construction of a modern medical system has greatly improved the health of the people of the empire and greatly reduced the number of unnatural deaths.

According to the estimation of the Ministry of Health, the completion of the medical system will greatly improve the physical fitness of the people, especially the establishment of drug rehabilitation centers and the development of drug rehabilitation pills, which will save more than 20 million young people of the empire and enable them to reintegrate into the social labor force.

All the project developments were gratifying, but what pleased Wang Chenhao the most was that in 1900, the imperial treasury exceeded the 200 million dragon dollar mark for the first time. Although the fiscal expenditure was as high as 260 million, resulting in a high fiscal deficit of 60 million dragon coins, this was because the construction of all aspects of the empire's infrastructure had just begun, and when the infrastructure was completed, the national railway network, road network network, education and medical care were in place, and the major industrial bases were completed, this deficit would naturally disappear.

Of course, the current fiscal deficit of 60 million dragon coins still has to rely on Wang Chenhao's internal funds to fill this hole. However, Wang Chenhao is very happy, his current personal wealth is billions, and he doesn't care about the 60 million, and the imperial political axe has strictly separated the state property from Wang Chenhao's personal property, and the imperial political axe borrowed this money from Wang Chenhao, but there is no interest.

In 1901, the Chinese Empire officially entered the first year of Guanghua. As the beginning of the new century, the first year of Guanghua seems to be adapting to the general trend of history, opening up a new era belonging to China, and glorifying China. In the first month of the first year of the new century, the Queen of England, Queen Victoria, the grandmother of European royalty, died, and Britain lost a very strong figure, which seemed to imply something.

The twentieth century was a century that was both hated and loved. Bitterly, two of the world's most tragic wars have erupted, plunging hundreds of millions of people into dire straits. It is gratifying to note that mankind has made rapid progress in this century and has made countless tremendous achievements.

In the imperial study, just as Wang Chenhao was lamenting the 20 th century, Prime Minister Zhang Feng, Minister of Foreign Affairs Tang Shaoyi, and Minister of National Defense Wang Shizhen jointly met with them.

As the prime minister, Zhang Feng took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, the Australian colonies form the Australian Federal Legislature, and the new parliament has just passed the "Australian Federal Constitution" and the "British Dominion Regulations" passed by the British Parliament in July last year. Australia declared itself part of the British Dominion, and Your Majesty, Australia did not read it. ”

Australia's affairs are expected by Wang Chenhao, since Britain allows Australia to be autonomous, it is actually equivalent to announcing that Australia will be able to read, but Britain has a good face.

"Since the British have made Australia autonomous, it is a matter of time before reading is a matter of time. Zhang Feng: You don't have to worry about this, the policy toward Australia is still based on peaceful evolution. ”

"Wechen understands!" Zhang Feng nodded respectfully, and then said: "According to His Majesty's instructions, Weichen arranged for the Immigration Bureau to successfully resettle more than 200,000 affected people and idle people in the three continents of South Australia, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia last year on the grounds of exporting labor, and the British ...... in these three states."

"It's supposed to be called Australians." Zhang Feng continued: "The Australians in these three states are far fewer than we estimated, and they are desolate, mostly British exiles. They were all busy plotting to get rid of their criminals, so they all moved to Melbourne, the capital of Australia. We bought a lot of cheap estates and land in these three states and were able to settle our immigrants there. The empire invested 10 million dragon coins in Australia, and easily bought off the newly established Australian self-government officials, who agreed that citizens of the Chinese Empire would open mines and factories in Australia to set up ranches and farms, and as long as they lived in Australia for more than two years, they could obtain Australian citizenship. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Feng had already become very happy and said, "In this way, it won't be long before the empire can realize the great plan of peaceful evolution." ”

Wang Chenhao smiled: "This is the best!" The provincial government's use of force has been criticized by international public opinion. ”

Tang Shaoyi said at this time: "At present, the Australian people are busy maintaining the new deal, so they will be interested in the investment of the empire and relax the immigration policy of the empire. I don't think this situation will last long, and when Australia's political axe is stabilized, this kind of good thing may not happen. ”

Wang Shizhen said at this time: "Not necessarily! Empire immigrants were mostly in western and northern Australia, where they were sparsely populated and uninhabited. It is helpful for the Australian economy for the immigrants of the empire to open up farmland, mines and factories there, so Australia will not be unhappy with the empire on the issue of immigration in the short term. ”

Tang Shaoyi disagreed with Wang Shizhen's point of view, and continued to argue: "Now Australians don't know how rich Australia is, in their eyes, Australia is a suitable place for grazing, and the development of animal husbandry is the concept of most Australians. However, as the empire continued to expand uranium mining in Western Australia, as well as the iron, diamond, and gold mines that were being explored, the more the empire settled, the faster this information leaked out. When Australians know that there are a lot of underground treasures in the west and north of Australia, then Australian whites will flock into Western Australia and the Northern Territory, and they will inevitably clash with imperial immigrants, just like Britain launched the Boer War, Australia has British support behind it, and they will definitely restrict imperial immigration at that time, even at the cost of turning their faces. ”

Tang Shaoyi considered it very comprehensively, and I have to say that this is indeed a big problem.

Wang Chenhao nodded and looked at Zhang Feng and Wang Shizhen.

Soon, Zhang Feng said: "This is really not considered by the minister, what Lord Tang said is very true, and the empire has to guard against it." ”

Wang Chenhao then asked, "Then what do you suggest?" ”

Zhang Feng thought for a while and said: "For today's plan, the empire has to speed up the pace of immigration, taking advantage of Australia's busyness, the death of the Queen of England, the attention of the British is on the king candidate, the empire's large-scale immigration, resulting in the de facto occupation of Western Australia and the Northern Territory." ”

Wang Shizhen said: "This is a feasible method. ”

Wang Chenhao then nodded in agreement and ordered Zhang Feng to arrange for the execution.

Tang Shaoyi said: "Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom has died, and the new king should be the queen's eldest son, Albert Edward, there is no doubt that the minister intends to send a message of condolences to the British Foreign Office in the name of His Majesty." ”

"Royalty to royalty, yes." Wang Chenhao nodded in agreement.

Zhang Feng said: "The passing of Queen Victoria has an immeasurable impact on British politics and European politics. ”

Tang Shaoyi agreed, saying: "Edward basically did not participate in state affairs when he was young, so he lacked experience in handling state affairs. But Edward liked to be sociable, so he was very popular with the British people. Therefore, Edward inherited the throne of the British king, and Britain is expected to get out of the shackles of the isolation policy. ”

Wang Chenhao also agreed, he knew that after Edward succeeded to the throne as Edward VII, he actively carried out European diplomacy, and single-handedly contributed to the formation of the Treaty of Britain, France and Russia, and caused a direct confrontation with the German, Italian, and Austrian allies.

"Queen Victoria's funeral, and Edward's accession to the throne, there will definitely be a big event in the UK, and we, as Britain's only ally, must be prepared first."

Wang Shizhen said at this time: "Your Majesty is thinking about it. That's what the minister came to do this time. ”

It turned out that the British Admiralty planned to organize a large-scale memorial ceremony for the death of Queen Victoria at sea and invite the Imperial Chinese Navy to participate in the funeral ceremony.

Wang Chenhao nodded and said: "Victoria is very influential, European and American countries will send naval warships to participate in the funeral ceremony, this is a good opportunity to improve the empire's participation in international affairs, since we want to seize Australia, we must first send Australia's master the British happy." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, but Wang Shizhen said: "Your Majesty, you have to send the most advanced warships to the UK to participate in the funeral ceremony to show the prestige of the country. And if a small ship is sent to Britain, it may make the international powers laugh. ”

Wang Chenhao thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Didn't Daji try it in the sea?" I sent her to let the navies of all countries see the new warships we have built. ”

Wang Shizhen then received the order.

Next, Tang Shaoyi reported: "Your Majesty, Wechen has been negotiating with the US political axe on the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1982. ”

Before Tang Shaoyi could finish speaking, Wang Chenhao hurriedly asked, "Did the Americans agree to abolish it?" ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly, and then showed shame, and said: "Weichen did not do things well, but instead of making Americans give up the Chinese Exclusion Act, the US House of Representatives passed a new bill this morning to ban Chinese immigrants from entering the country. ”

Wang Chenhao was suddenly disappointed and couldn't help frowning.

In 1882, the U.S. Congress accepted Republican Senator John Brown. The Chinese Exclusion Act submitted by John F. Miller was hotly debated in the U.S. Congress. The main arguments for Chinese exclusion are: Chinese people have many vices and prejudices, and it is impossible for them to Americanize their lives, let alone accept the ethical and moral standards of the United States based on Christianity; Moreover, the influx of Chinese workers has created a tense situation of competing for jobs with American workers. The arguments of the anti-Chinese exclusionists are that the exclusion of Chinese violates the policy of free immigration in the Sino-US Treaty of Anson and the founding principle of "freedom and equality" of the Republic of America. Eventually, Chinese exclusion gained the support of a majority vote in Congress.

On May 6, 1882, the US Congress passed the first bill in the history of the United States to restrict immigration, the "Act on the Enforcement of the Provisions of the Chinese Treaty," commonly known as the American Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

The Chinese began to enter the United States in large numbers during the California Gold Rush in 1849. Most of them came from southern China, which had fallen into poverty after the Taiping Rebellion, in search of their wealth. At first, there was plenty of surface gold, so the Chinese were warmly welcomed and accepted. However, when the reserves of easily available gold shrank and competition intensified, so did the hatred of the Chinese. Nativist groups began to claim that California's gold belonged to Americans, and then began to abuse foreign gold miners. After being forcibly evicted from the gold mines, the Chinese moved into the cities, mainly San Francisco, where they worked as wage labor and servants. As the U.S. economy declined, resentment of the Chinese was politicized by Governor John, who blamed America's misfortune on Chinese coolies and Chinese laborers who signed contracts to build the Central Pacific Railroad in 1864 and 1869. Chinese immigrants did not only bring benefits to the United States, they also became scapegoats in the seventies of the 19th century. They are perceived to carry unethical and unhygienic habits, engage in unfair business competition by driving down wages, and they are also victims of group violence.

Wang Shizhen, who was on the side, suddenly showed indignation, and the latter said: "How can this be reasonable, the Americans are really bullying people too much, and the Chinese Empire is easy to bully?" I don't see a little color for them, they don't know that Ma Wangye has three eyes. ”

Zhang Feng raised questions and said: "It stands to reason that the Qing Dynasty was bullied by the United States because of its weak national strength, and now although the Chinese Empire has not yet reached the strong level of the British Empire, its national strength can be regarded as a second-class power, and its military strength is even more than that of the United States, so the Americans should abolish the Chinese Exclusion Act." I remember that when the empire and the United States joined forces against Spain, the American political axe seemed to have loosened, why did it regret it now? ”

Zhang Feng believes that the Chinese Exclusion Act is the result of the Americans bullying China's national weakness. At that time, since 1876, the Qing government had been protesting against the persecution of overseas Chinese in the United States. In this regard, the US political axe either shirks its responsibility on the grounds that it cannot interfere in local affairs, or simply ignores it. Under the pressure of the foreign powers, the Qing government axe, knowing that the consequences of the United States' exclusion of China was serious, did not dare to take retaliatory measures, but retreated step by step, and signed a new treaty with the United States in 1884, prohibiting Chinese workers from going to the United States for 10 years. This treaty marked the Qing Dynasty's recognition of the legitimacy of the US Chinese Exclusion Act, which made the US government feel even more that China was weak and could be bullied, and the Chinese exclusion became more and more unscrupulous. The 1884 amendment strengthened the provisions that allowed previously arriving immigrants to leave and return to the United States, and made it clear that the law applied to all Chinese, regardless of their nationality.

Tang Shaoyi said with a wry smile: "At that time, the United States did plan to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act, but in 1892, the bill was extended by the "Gearyact" for ten years, and it did not expire until 1902. The Americans use this as an excuse to delay, and now they plan to extend all the Chinese Exclusion Act treaties indefinitely? ”

Zhang Feng said: "Now the empire is much stronger than the original Manchu Qing, it stands to reason that the Americans should not ignore the feelings of the empire, but they still insist on getting along with us!" ”

Tang Shaoyi looked at Wang Chenhao and said, "Your Majesty, now the House of Representatives has passed the indefinite extension of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which will soon be submitted to the Senate, and will be officially passed by the US Congress in a few months." ”

Wang Chenhao thought for a while and said: "The US political axe must be in retaliation for us for causing heavy losses to the Americans on the Panama Canal issue. ”

Zhang Feng said: "It may also be because of your majesty's enclosure and sale of oil in the United States last year, which caused a sensation in the whole United States, and Lord Tang rolled up 470 million US dollars of gold to return to China, almost triggering a second gold run crisis in the United States, shaking the financial stability of the United States under the gold standard." ”

Tang Shaoyi nodded and said, "Yes!" Your Majesty, that movement was not small, and the Americans were probably mad, not to mention that His Majesty rolled up $470 million to return to China, and it can be imagined that the Americans looked at it with envy and hatred. ”

Wang Chenhao thinks about it, he has rolled up 470 million US dollars from the United States, which is an astronomical amount in this era, almost equal to the annual financial income of the United States.

"So to put it this way, the Americans now see us as enemies?"

Wang Shizhen also said: "It is conceivable that the American people will hate Your Majesty to death when they learn that Your Majesty has rolled up the taxes they paid for a year. As a result, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Indefinite Chinese Exclusion Act, which seems to contain the meaning of stopping Chinese people from making money in the United States. ”

Zhang Feng said suddenly: "It stands to reason that Your Majesty is a nepotistic relative to the Zeringen family, the Citigroup and the Cleveland Foundation, and has a cooperative friendship with the Rockefeller Consortium. ”

Tang Shaoyi explained: "Last year, His Majesty withdrew his shares from the oil stocks of the Rockefeller consortium, and after cashing out $200 million, he sold five large oil fields in Los Angeles. ”

Wang Chenhao shook his head and said: "Rockefeller is certainly not happy that we sold the oil field to others, but the Rockefeller consortium did not start by relying on the oil field. They are refining oil and using petrochemical products as a means of making money, and it is enough for them to have a large oil field in Texas, and the more oil fields, the lower the price of oil, but the more beneficial it is to the refined oil of the Rockefeller consortium, and Rockefeller has a monopoly on the petrochemical industry, so he has to thank me. ”

Zhang Feng asked puzzledly, "Then what's going on?" Since Rockefeller wants to thank you, Your Majesty, he should prevent the Chinese Exclusion Act from being extended indefinitely. ”

Wang Chenhao suddenly thought of another reason, so he said: "It seems that Rockefeller is no longer able to control the Republican Party!" ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

The crowd asked again.

Wang Chenhao then explained: "The Republican Party in the United States has always been called the Rockefeller consortium, but after the old Rockefeller retired, the little Rockefeller seems to be unable to control the Republican Party. And some people in the Republican Party have begun to quietly lobby for the overthrow of the trust group for political purposes and in order to gain more political achievements. The first to bear the brunt of this antitrust law was the Rockefeller Oil Company. ”

Antitrust law is the general name of the written law enacted by Congress after the United States entered the stage of monopoly capitalism to protect competition, oppose monopoly and restrict trade practices.

At the end of the 80s of the 19th century, trust organizations appeared in the oil, coal mining, oil extraction, tobacco, sugar and other sectors. The formation of trusts, on the one hand, brought super-profits to the monopoly capitalists, and on the other hand, undermined the economic structure of liberal capitalism, leading to the bankruptcy of small and medium-sized business owners and farmers, and the deterioration of the lives of the working masses, thus provoking the upsurge of the antitrust movement of the masses. In order to alleviate social contradictions, the US political axe has adopted legal means to intervene in the state. On July 2, 1890, the U.S. Congress passed the Protection of Trade and Commerce from Unlawful Restraint and Monopoly Act, referred to as the Sherman Antitrust Act. The main purpose of the Act is to prohibit the practice of restricting surname trade and monopolizing trade.

But the Rockefeller consortium managed to use its control of the Republican Party to get rid of the antitrust laws. But with the rise of the Republican Party, the Republican Party also needs to stand up, and McKinley's slogan to come to power is to further crack down on the trust group.

Wang Shizhen suddenly laughed and said: "So the dog raised by Rockefeller is going to bite the owner in turn?" ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Zhang Feng then concluded: "Now it seems that the passage of the indefinite extension of the Chinese Exclusion Act by the US House of Representatives should be the result of the combined action of those reasons just now. ”

Wang Chenhao nodded and said, "That's it!" Damn the Yankees! I should have made you worse! ”

After Wang Chenhao finished speaking, he immediately gritted his teeth.

Wang Shizhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, do you still have a trick that you haven't used?" ”

Wang Shizhen admired Wang Chenhao's ability to accumulate money, so when he heard Wang Chenhao say that he wanted to make the United States worse, he immediately thought that Wang Chenhao still had a trick to come up with.

Wang Chenhao naturally has a back-up move that he has not used, but he understands that he can't get into a stalemate with the United States, and it is very unfavorable to the Chinese Empire if he really turns his face with the United States.

"I have a way! However, ......" Wang Chenhao changed his words and said: "The United States is a huge economy, and we cannot stimulate it to develop into a huge military body now." Now the primary enemy around the empire is Russia, and Ben has always been a thief to the empire, and they are preparing for it. If we make a bad deal with the United States, it will only make the United States more unscrupulous in supporting the United States, and the threat to the security of the empire will be too great. ”

Wang Shizhen said: "However, you can't watch the United States be so arrogant? If the Chinese Exclusion Act is extended indefinitely, it will be a heavy blow to the international prestige of the Empire! ”

Zhang Feng and Tang Shaoyi nodded their heads in agreement, and they also meant the same.

Wang Chenhao said: "Dealing with Russia first, then dealing with Japan, and finally cleaning up the United States is the basic national policy of the empire that cannot be changed. But now the Americans are indeed too arrogant, the empire does not make some gestures, and the Americans still think that we are as easy to bully as the Qing Empire! ”

Zhang Feng, Tang Shaoyi, and Wang Shizhen hurriedly asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Wang Chenhao thought for a while, turned to Tang Shaoyi, and said: "First of all, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Imperial Political Axe immediately made solemn representations to the United States Political Axe with the strongest posture to prevent the US Senate from passing the new Chinese Exclusion Act. If the United States insists on not changing, the empire will attack the so-called freedom and openness of the United States as fake and hypocritical, and submit it to The Hague International to put pressure on the United States from international public opinion. ”

"Obey the order!" Tang Shaoyi immediately received the order.

Wang Chenhao then turned to Wang Shizhen and said: "At the same time as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs lodged a protest, the Ministry of National Defense suspended the export of weapons, ammunition, grain, medicine and other materials to the US military in the Philippines, and recalled the hospital ship. At the same time, the Department of Defense laid out a plan to write down the Empire's most advanced weapons for export to the Philippine Revolutionary Army. ”

Wang Shizhen asked: "Your Majesty, it is feasible to suspend the export of supplies to the US military, but if the United States openly sells the most advanced weapons to the Philippines, the United States will definitely be strongly dissatisfied. If it has a negative effect......"

Wang Chenhao said with a smile: "It's just for you to list a list of weapons for sale to the Philippines, and it's not really exported?" We are only using this to threaten the United States and force the United States to compromise with the Empire on the Chinese Exclusion Act. Just to scare the United States. ”

Wang Shizhen immediately understood, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Weichen obeys the order." ”

Wang Chenhao nodded, then turned to Zhang Feng and said: "And inform the customs, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the Ministry of Education to exaggerate the fact that the United States is about to pass the indefinite extension of the Chinese Exclusion Act, and the political axe organs will find a way to prevent the smooth passage of American goods, and the people will create a practical action to boycott American goods." ”

"Obey the order!" After receiving the order, Zhang Feng asked again: "Your Majesty, what if the Americans still don't compromise?" ”

Wang Chenhao snorted coldly and said, "That's easy to do, let's also have a set of anti-American bills to retaliate!" ”

Zhang Feng was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Tang Shaoyi and Wang Shizhen also drank afterwards.

The next day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire sent a note to the US ambassador to China, strongly protesting against the passage of the indefinite extension of the Chinese Exclusion Act by the US House of Representatives, and lodged solemn representations with the US political axe, saying that this was an insult to the Chinese Empire, which would certainly arouse the anger of the Chinese Imperial Government and the people, and would not be conducive to the friendly relations between the Chinese Empire and the United States.

At the subsequent press conference, Tang Shaoyi, foreign minister of the Chinese Empire, said that if the Chinese Exclusion Act is not revoked, it will mean that the openness, freedom, and civilization of the US political axe will all be fake and hypocritical, and the whole world will regard the United States as a country of barbarians. In the end, Tang Shaoyi said that it would be submitted to The Hague International for discussion at an international conference, and the United States would be speechless at that time.

In response to the protest and statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United States also responded, saying that the Chinese have many vices and prejudices, and it is impossible for them to Americanize their lives, let alone accept the ethical and moral standards of the United States based on Christianity. Moreover, Chinese businessmen have seized a large amount of wealth in the United States through unfair competition and swept back to China, resulting in a large outflow of American wealth and a decline in the living standards of the American people.

The first half of the US Foreign Department still cites the testimony of the Chinese Exclusion Act debate of that year, and the second half of the sentence actually accuses the Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao of selling oil in the United States to make money and cashing out huge amounts of gold in the United States.

In the days that followed, the Imperial Chinese Foreign Ministry and the US Foreign Ministry waged a diplomatic war of mutual rebuttal, accusation, and criticism, which led to a series of public opinion wars between China and the United States.

According to Wang Chenhao's deployment, the Chinese Empire soon submitted the Chinese Exclusion Act to the Hague International Court of Arbitration. Wang Chenhao does not expect The Hague International to make a fair ruling, after all, the United States has far more influence in the international arena than the Chinese Empire. Wang Chenhao's purpose is to let the whole world know and let international public opinion condemn the United States.

The effect is not for nothing, and most of the international public opinion still supports the Chinese Empire, thanks to the strength of the Chinese Empire. The open-boiled and liberal propaganda pursued by the United States has been questioned by international public opinion, and this has had a great impact on the international image of the US political axe.

It didn't take long for the Imperial Chinese Defense Department to criticize the United States for its criminal war against the Philippines at a press conference, which caused the deaths of millions of indigenous Filipinos.

Three days later, the Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Empire once again broke the news and invited the commander-in-chief of the Republic of the Philippines, Queiki, to visit China. However, the Chinese Empire ignored it, and during Kuiji's visit to China, Defense Minister Wang Shizhen openly stated that it would discuss the export of the Chinese Empire's advanced rifles, heavy machine guns, and heavy artillery to the Philippine army, along with medical aid, food, clothing, and other humanitarian aid. At the same time, the supply of American troops to the Philippines by the Chinese Empire began to be interrupted.

More than 200,000 U.S. troops consume huge amounts of ammunition, food, and other materials on the battlefield in the Philippines every day, and the interruption of supplies by the Chinese Empire for a few days will make it impossible for the U.S. forces to launch offensive operations.

The American political axe suddenly panicked, and did not expect that the Chinese empire would use this trick against the United States.

As a result, the US political axe immediately sent a note to the Imperial Chinese Embassy in the United States, expressing its willingness to negotiate to resolve differences.

On February 5, 1901, the Chinese Empire and the U.S. political axe began formal negotiations on the Chinese Exclusion Act, but the negotiations were slow, and the U.S. political axe was only delaying time.

It was too long and difficult for the U.S. government to send supplies to the Philippines from its homeland, so the U.S. government sought to negotiate with France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, asking them to sell supplies to ease the supply pressure on the U.S. military. The French did not have much supplies for the American army in Vietnam, except for food. The Dutch East Indies were the same, which could only supply food to the American army. The most important medical supplies were restricted by the Chinese Empire, and the British, an ally of the Chinese Empire, refused to provide any supplies.

The United States had no choice but to negotiate with the Chinese Empire when it returned to the negotiating table.

In the subsequent Senate review, the U.S. Senate rejected the passage of the new Chinese Exclusion Act. However, the original "Kiri Act" has not yet expired, and the US political axe has not terminated the bill.

For the Chinese Empire, the success of preventing the passage of the new Chinese Exclusion Act is already a victory, but Wang Chenhao found that this time he really offended the United States, after this incident, the United States must have taken precautions, if the United States makes a fuss about the "Kirei Act" next year, I am afraid it will not be as easy as now.

Therefore, Wang Chenhao asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to continue negotiations to repeal all relevant laws and regulations of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States and ensure that immigrants from the Chinese Empire can enjoy the treatment of citizens of European countries.

The United States was very dissatisfied with the demands of the Chinese Empire's political axe, and once refused to continue negotiations.

Soon, however, the Chinese Empire organized a boycott of American goods at home, resulting in a large backlog of American goods that could not be sold, American merchants suffered great losses, and goods exported to China were also seized by Chinese customs for various reasons and delayed in customs.

Then, the Chinese Empire asked Britain to intercede. And Britain's mediation can be regarded as a step down for the United States. The American political axe finally saw the superb political methods of the Chinese empire, so it had no choice but to compromise.

In May of the first year of Guanghua, under the arbitration of the United Kingdom, the United States completely repealed all relevant Chinese Exclusion Bills. The Chinese Empire also resumed the export of various supplies to the US military stationed in the Philippines, and at the same time stopped boycotting American goods at home. After the Chinese Empire pledged to refuse to provide the Philippines with weapons, ammunition and other war materiel, the United States announced a written apology for the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

At this point, the diplomatic game between China and the United States, which lasted for more than three months, ended with the victory of the Chinese Empire, but as a result, the contradictions between the Chinese Empire and the United States were further deepened.

(To be continued)
