David Lloyd George's brows furrowed tightly, and in his opinion, the Americans were not a little too optimistic. Or rather, they are taking the Chinese for fools. Such a condition, if it were any country, would definitely not agree!

"Your Excellency President, are you sure that the Chinese will not withdraw from the meeting or even go to war with us directly because of this?" David Lloyd George said.

"As long as we all take a firm stance, the Chinese will definitely compromise." I have no doubt about that. President Harding said.

"Well, Your Excellency, just do what you say. The British Empire will fully cooperate with you. David Lloyd George said. Of course, this time the idea was mainly from the Americans. If it succeeds, it will be a happy situation for all. But if it fails, the British will definitely get rid of themselves as soon as possible.

"Regarding the French and Italians, it would be enough to give them a plan of 175,000 tons. After all, they have never been a maritime power. President Harding continued. France and Italy, although they are also the great powers of the time. But compared with Britain, the United States and China, there is no doubt that it is much worse at sea.

David Lloyd George nodded: "I couldn't agree more. ”

President Harding and David Lloyd George walked out of the office with a smile on their faces after completing the conspiracy. Obviously, they were all very happy with the meeting.

The banquet continued, and everyone had a great time. It wasn't until late at night that everyone dispersed. There is no doubt that through this banquet, several participating countries have colluded behind their backs.

Representatives of the Chinese Empire boarded a train bound for Washington in San Francisco. The United States did not prepare a special train for the Chinese delegation. It's just two ordinary carriages. This made everyone in the Chinese delegation feel a little dissatisfied. After all, it seems that the Americans are too lazy to do this. After all, the visitors are all heavyweights of the Chinese Empire!

"Prime Minister, the Americans don't seem to take us for the same thing! Just two carriages sent us, it stands to reason. We have to prepare a special train for us. Imperial Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi said with some dissatisfaction.

"Lord Tang, this may be due to the different national conditions of various countries, and Americans don't like this." Yang Du said with a smile.

"It seems that our actions in San Francisco have caused dissatisfaction among the Americans. They must have thought we were bewitching the Chinese on the west coast of North America. So, here's a little bit of color for us to look at. Marshal Shi Tianhan said.

"Humph! These foreign devils just don't know how to be polite. It seems that if these guys come to China in the future, we won't be able to treat them too well. Otherwise, they'll think we're bullies. Tang Shaoyi said hatefully.

"Actually, I don't expect these Americans to be nice to us at all. After all. We and them, but we are opponents. Underneath the Pacific Railroad is the bones of our countrymen! One day, Americans will have to pay the price for their actions back then. Yang Du said. The train traveled on the Pacific Railroad, but it felt as if it had been pressed over the bones of his compatriots.

Tang Shaoyi and Shi Tianhan both nodded heavily, the two days they stayed in San Francisco. They have experienced how hard life is for the Chinese. It can be said that the life of the Chinese in the United States. There is a complete taste of lingering. Those who can live a good life are only a very small number of people. The vast majority of the population is extremely poor. In addition, they have to face the oppression of Americans, especially those who are white supremacist racists, and often hurt them. The safety of their lives and property. There is no guarantee at all.

The train rumbled eastward, over mountains, rivers, deserts and grasslands. The scene also slowly changed from desolation to prosperity. When the train enters the eastern part of the United States, you can completely feel that this place and the western United States are fundamentally different. There is a bustling city here. Towering chimneys with thick smoke. The population has also become denser.

The train continued to pass through the industrial area, so that Yang Du, Tang Shaoyi and Shi Tianhan were able to experience how strong the industrial strength of the United States is. Although, the empire has also grown rapidly over the years. But compared with the United States, the foundation is still too weak after all. If the empire wants to catch up with the United States, it will undoubtedly go a long way!

"When we were at home, we thought that the empire was already doing very well. However, now that I have seen the development of the Americans, I realize that it is we who are sitting in the well and watching the sky. No wonder the Americans have the largest industrial output in the world, far surpassing the empire. It can be seen from the factories and the countless skilled workers. Yang Du sighed.

"Prime Minister, the foundation of the empire is too thin. Now, though, we're struggling to catch up. Soon, we will be able to catch up with the Americans. We Chinese are no worse than Americans. The industrialization process that took them hundreds of years to complete, we will be able to complete it in many years. Tang Shaoyi said.

"Two adults, at least in terms of military strength, we are no worse than the Americans!" Marshal Shi Tianhan said solemnly.

Yang Du and Tang Shaoyi both laughed suddenly.

Yes, the empire is ahead of the United States in military power. America's powerful industry is not translated into military power. This was evident from the First World War. The United States is the most powerful in the world in terms of industrial power, but after the war, they did not even have enough rifles. When the expeditionary force formed by the United States went to the European theater, it was simply a group of new soldiers. The brutality of the war soon took a heavy toll on these Americans. Although the American Expeditionary Force entered the war much later than the Chinese Expeditionary Force. However, the losses paid by the American Expeditionary Force were much greater than those of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. The U.S. * army is also lagging behind China in terms of military technology. However, Americans have deep pockets and a strong ability to learn. After the end of World War I, the military strength of the Americans has actually improved considerably.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time to come to the United States to attend a conference is certainly not a good errand. The Americans, as well as the British, the French, and the Japanese, would certainly have caused a lot of trouble for the Empire. For the sake of the Empire, we can only work together and fight with them. Yang Du said.

"Yes, Prime Minister." Tang Shaoyi and Marshal Shi Tianhan both nodded heavily.

On the morning of November 5, 4619 (21), the train arrived in Washington. The Imperial delegation, guided by the American staff, stepped off the train. However, to the anger of the Imperial delegation, they were greeted by nothing more than a U.S. ****** undersecretary of state. U.S. Secretary of State Hughes didn't even show his face. There is no doubt that this is an insult to the Empire.

The Imperial Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary, and the Chief of the General Staff come to the United States, not to mention that the President of the United States is going to show up, and the Secretary of State of the United States should come to greet them.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, Your Excellency the Chief of the General Staff, welcome to Washington." The U.S. Deputy Secretary of State came over with a smile on his face and shook hands.

Yang Du and the others didn't look good, just casually perfunctory.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we have prepared a hotel for you to stay. Please come with me. "The deputy secretary probably knew that these Chinese were dissatisfied, so he was very enthusiastic.

"Ambassador Shi, there should be no problem with us in the embassy's car, right?" Yang Du asked directly.

"No problem." The Imperial Ambassador to the United States, Shi Zhaoji, replied.

"Alright, we'll all go to the embassy." Yang Du said. After that, he turned to the US Deputy Secretary of State and said that they would not go to the hotel prepared by the US government, but go directly to the embassy.

After that, the people of the imperial delegation walked away, and after getting into the embassy car, they left directly, leaving the dumbfounded US Deputy Secretary of State and a group of staff members standing in the cold wind.

"Hell, these yellow-skinned monkeys are so arrogant." The US Deputy Secretary of State couldn't help but curse secretly. But he had no choice but to go back and resume his life.

"Ambassador Shi, it seems that the Americans don't welcome us!" In the car to the embassy, Yang Du asked directly.

"Prime Minister, the Americans have been very hostile to us lately. This is especially true after we announced the start of construction of the Pangu-class battleships. The Americans will treat us as their great enemy. Everywhere for us. Ambassador Shi Zhaoji said.

"As for Secretary of State Hughes, who is an American today, he has been ****** today. Obviously, they want to give us a dismount. Shi Zhaoji said.

Yang Du nodded: "It seems that this trip to the United States will not be too smooth." Fortunately, we are not allowed to be rounded and flattened by the Americans. ”

"Prime Minister, according to what we have received, when the Japanese delegation arrived in the United States, the Americans held a grand banquet to entertain the Japanese who had come from afar. However, when the Imperial delegation came, the Americans did not show anything at all. Shi Zhaoji continued.

"Well, the Americans must be hostile to the Empire this time. It's going to rain, and the mother wants to get married, which is also a matter of no choice. Now we can only cover up the water with our troops! Yang Du seemed very calm now. After all, Emperor Wu Haoxuan has already explained, and they don't have to think that their daughters-in-law are pleasing to the eyes. If it really doesn't work, it's a big deal to just leave the meeting. (To be continued.) )
