"Your Excellency Ambassador Sherlock, you are so kind!" Wu Tingfang's face had a hint of a smile. From Sherlock's actions, he could guess that these Americans should not want to continue fighting. As a professional official, Wu Tingfang is also peace-loving. Of course, there is no need to use the means of war if the precondition is that the benefits can be obtained by peaceful means. War is nothing more than a continuation of politics! After the outbreak of war, it is still necessary to determine the benefits obtained by means of guò government!

"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, please, everyone has arrived!" Ambassador Sherlock was very humble. The poor performance of the U.S. military in northern Mexico has made the United States a laughing stock among the great powers. The Allied powers, in particular, were greatly boosted by this. Germany's Crown Prince Wilhelm even openly declared that if the armies of the Entente only had such combat effectiveness, then it would be just around the corner for the Allies to gain world leadership!

"Please, Your Excellency Ambassador!" Although Wu Tingfang has received Western education, he is still a traditional Chinese in his bones, and he pays attention to people respecting me, and I respect people! Since Ambassador Sherlock is so humble, he naturally wants to give face!

The two entered the lobby of the U.S. Embassy. Ambassadors from all over the world to China have gathered here. After Wu Tingfang and Ambassador Sherlock came in, everyone rushed up to pay their respects. At the forefront, of course, are the ambassadors of Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Austria, and Italy. Among them, the German ambassador was changed at the beginning of the year, from Ambassador Lucas to August von Klind.

Originally, Ambassador Lucas had a very close relationship with the Chinese royal family, but in the past two years, there has been a rift in the relationship between China and Germany, and Germany has been dragging China back in the international community. And now, China has deliberately delayed the construction of battleships for Germany, so that the German navy's superiority in the North Sea is slowly being lost, which also causes dissatisfaction on the German side. Therefore. Ambassador Lucas's ability to do his job has been questioned. Eventually, the German government ordered a change of ambassador to China, and Ambassador Lucas was repatriated.

Ambassador August von Klinder was a typical German Junker aristocrat, with a tall figure and two upturned Germanic beards, which made him look very heroic. He gives the feeling he gives. Also more like an old-fashioned military man than a cunning and wise diplomat. In fact, Ambassador August von Klinder is also very rigid in his usual expression. This makes the Chinese side very worried about whether relations with Germany will continue to deteriorate. Fortunately, Ambassador August von Klinder is still more informed, and he did not do anything drastic because of China's countermeasures, otherwise the relationship between China and Germany. I'm afraid it's even worse!

After a while of pleasantries, Ambassador Sherlock, who is the host. Announce the start of the prom.

The band invited at a high price played a cheerful song. Pairs of men and women began to dance on the dance floor. For the envoys of ordinary countries in China, participating in such a dance is a good opportunity for them to relax and rest. Perhaps, you will be able to meet a beautiful aristocratic lady and spend a wonderful evening with you after the ball.

Of course, for the envoys of the great powers of various countries, such a ball is a good opportunity to take the opportunity to talk about some confidential matters. Between countries, even if there are many contradictions, at some point, it is not impossible to cooperate, as long as there are the same interests!

"Your Excellency Zhu Erdian, do you say that the United States and China can reach an agreement? Will the war in Mexico continue? The French ambassador to China asked, holding a glass of red wine. Next to him was none other than the British ambassador to China, Jurdian. Originally, among the envoys of various countries to China, the British ambassador to China was a well-deserved leader. It's just that as Britain has been defeated by China again and again, Britain's influence in China is also declining rapidly!

"If neither of them wants to continue fighting, I guess there will be a ceasefire! However, now they seem to have ceased fire, and the armies on both sides are very restrained! Ambassador Zhu Erdian said. Although last year, both Britain and France were defeated by China in the Middle East. Now, however, their focus has shrunk back to Europe. The growing strength of the German navy forced Britain and France to unite to suppress Germany. Fortunately, China delayed the construction of the four battleships for Germany, otherwise, even if the two countries combined, I am afraid that they would not be able to suppress Germany!

"The Americans also suffered a big loss this time! They actually fought a land war with the Chinese. The Chinese Army has gone through countless major wars, and its combat power is definitely the world's leading! Pierre, the French ambassador to China, said. Once upon a time, France was also a world-class army power, and during the Napoleonic period, it even came close to unifying the whole of Europe. It's just that in the second half of the nineteenth century, France began to decline, first defeated by Prussia and paid a heavy price, and now it was defeated by China, and the French army has gone from being the most powerful army in the world to becoming synonymous with garbage!

"The Chinese army is really strong. But that's not a good thing for us! A hint of worry flashed in Zhu Erdian's eyes. Whether it is the Middle East, India, or even Australia, it is within the range of Chinese's attack. In the event of a major war, the Chinese Army could sweep through these areas, while Britain could only watch!

"The powerful Chinese Army and the German Army, known as the world's first, are enough to sweep the whole world! However, the relationship between them seems to be in trouble, which is a rare good thing for us! Ambassador Pierre laughed.

A smile also appeared on Ambassador Zhu Erdian's face. Both China and Germany have enormous ambitions for the whole world. However, the happy thing is that now there is a contradiction between these two ambitious countries. If they break out in conflict after defeating Britain and France, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Britain and France. But if they had already erupted into conflicts, this would have been a great opportunity for Britain, France and Germany. If China and Germany can be defeated, it will be a great thing for the Allies and the whole world. Of course, this is very unlikely, as long as the Chinese and Germans have no problem with their brains, they will not do this!

"Ambassador Clinder, it's been a month since you came to China, are you still used to it?" At this time, Pierre saw the German ambassador to China, August von Klinder, passing by them, and hurriedly shouted.

"Hello, Ambassador Pierre! For me, there is no difference between China and Germany. And there is a lot more food in China than in Germany! Ambassador August von Klinder said with a smile. Strict and rigid Germans, when it comes to food, really have no talent!

"If only you got used to it! If you need help, please feel free to ask! Ambassador Zhu Erdian also said with a smile. Although the Allies and the Entente were in hostility, there was no hostility at all in their diplomats.

"Thank you, Ambassador Juerdian! What are the two ambassadors talking about? Have such a good time? Ambassador August von Klinder asked with some curiosity. Because of the rise of Germany, Britain and France are almost wearing the same pair of pants!

"Let's talk about the battleship again! The four 'Brittany-class' battleships of the French Navy will be commissioned in the first half of this year! China's six 'St. Sente-class' battleships will also be put into service one after another from next month, and all of them will be put into service by the end of the year! Ambassador Zhu Erdian said with a smile!

Sure enough, after hearing this, Ambassador August von Klind's expression was a little unnatural. Now, in the North Sea, the German Navy still has an advantage. But when the next batch of six 'Saint-Cent' battleships of the British Navy and four 'Brittany-class' battleships of the French Navy entered service, Germany would no longer have any advantage! In last year's Battle of the Mediterranean, the Chinese Navy wiped out all the French Navy's battleships, leaving the British Navy with only two new battleships. This is very exciting for everyone in Germany. Many people even took the opportunity to propose an immediate declaration of war on Britain and France. It's just that because Germany was not ready for a full-scale war, the demand for war was suppressed by Kaiser Wilhelm II!

However, what the German side never expected was that the British Navy's bloodless investment would increase the speed of the British Navy's shipbuilding by more than 30 percent. If this continued, the British navy would soon regain superiority over the German navy. With the assistance of the French Navy, the German Navy will be suppressed again!

"Damn the yellow-skinned monkeys, if they hadn't deliberately delayed the construction period, the German Navy wouldn't be what it is now!" Ambassador August von Klinder cursed in his heart. The Chinese Navy has delayed the construction of four 'Helgoland-class' battleships, otherwise the German Navy would have had a much better time with four more battleships! Of course, he didn't seem to have thought about why China was making it difficult for Germany on this. If Germany hadn't dragged China back first, China would not have countered Germany! Between countries, no one is right or wrong, it is just for their own interests!

"Two, I have something else to do, so I'm out of company first!" After saying that, Ambassador August von Klinder turned around and left. The moment he turned around, the smile on his face had disappeared cleanly!

Ambassador Jurdian and Ambassador Pierre both smiled as they watched Ambassador August von Klinder leave in a hurry!
