Chapter 339: Victory Dinner

On April 11, 4607 (09), the day after the signing of the Sino-Russian Peace Treaty, the envoys of various countries in China had already returned to Yanjing from Jinmen. The Imperial Crown Prince Wu Haoxuan held a dinner party to nominally celebrate the end of the war. But in fact, everyone knows that this is a celebration of the victory of the Chinese Empire in the war.

Senior cabinet officials, military dignitaries, celebrities, and ministers of various countries in China were all invited to attend the dinner. Even the defeated Russians did not refuse to attend this dinner. The Russian Minister to China, Ronso Vetz, was compelled to attend the dinner, despite his anger. After all, the war is over. Russia and the Chinese Empire have ended the state of war. Russia, for its part, also hopes that peace will last for a long time. After all, Russia's focus will now be on Europe. In Eastern Siberia, they could not have deployed much force. This required Russia to improve its relations with the Chinese Empire.

The British Minister to China, Sir Juledian, had put his meter in order and looked at the time. It's only half past six now, and it won't take long to rush from Dongjiaomin Lane to the place where the dinner will be held.

"Get the driver ready, we'll be off in five minutes." Sir Jurden commanded.

"Yes, Sir Sir." The secretary immediately went to arrange all this.

Five minutes later, Sir Jurdian went downstairs, got into the Legation car, and headed for the Imperial Palace. The Legation's car is the latest Shenlong 1 produced by China Oriental Automobile Manufacturing Group. Now this premium sedan has been launched in Europe and the United States, and it is not surprising that it has been enthusiastically pursued. Compared to the cars produced by other European car manufacturers, the DPCA 1 is a work of art. So, although the Shenlong Model 1 car is priced at a whopping $3,000. But demand is still in short supply. Almost as soon as the car was loaded and unloaded from the ship, it was already snatched up by the people who were already waiting at the dock.

Under such circumstances, the Imperial Government only purchased a batch of customized Shenlong 1 cars in small batches. It was used to travel for the ministers and vice-ministers of the Cabinet, and the cars of the senior generals of the military were also replaced with Shenlong 1 cars. The envoys of various countries in China also snapped up a batch of them by virtue of their connections, which became the special cars of the ministers of various countries in China.

Although, Sir Zhu Erdian looked down on the Chinese and looked down on this backward country. But. He had to admit that the Shenlong 1 car and the BMW 1 car, which had already sold crazy in Europe and the United States, could be regarded as masterpieces. Dongfang Automobile Manufacturing Group, with these two cars, has established a dominant position in the field of automobile manufacturing in the world. If it weren't for the fact that the output of the Eastern Automobile Manufacturing Group could not keep up, it is estimated that they would occupy the entire market. However, it is said that the imperial government intends to establish three more automobile claim bases in Jinmen and the east in the south, as well as Yangcheng. In this way, the production capacity of Dongfang Automobile Manufacturing Group will be more than tripled in the future. What a fortune that would be! It's incredible to think about.

The car starts. It was so smooth that Sir Jurdian barely felt any vibration while sitting in the car. It would be even better if Yanjing's roads could be a little better. However, the roads in Yanjing City are basically stone roads or coal ash roads. It is said that the Yanjing municipal government will next start a comprehensive renovation of the road in Yanjing City, and the entire construction period is expected to be completed within two years. At that time, Yanjing City will have wide roads and good water supply and drainage facilities. This ancient city can fully match the status of the capital of a country.

Through the window of the car. Sir Jurdian looked at the bustling crowd on the road. It's time to get off work now, and the streets are crowded. From the faces of those Chinese with dishes, Sir Zhu Erdian could clearly feel the excitement and joy in their hearts.

Yesterday, a huge victory parade was held throughout Yanjing City, and these originally cowardly Chinese enthusiastically hailed their victory. Albeit. Their country is not very strong yet. However, there is no doubt that they have embarked on a path to rise. And will all this pose a threat to the British Empire?

"This ancient country has finally woken up, and for the British Empire. Maybe it won't be a good thing. The interests of the British Empire in Asia will be greatly threatened. If it could, Europe really should unite to contain the country and cut off their hope of rising. Otherwise, it could be a disaster for the whole of Europe. Sir Jurdiane muttered.

Half a century ago, China was sinking under the strong ships and cannons of the Western powers. Since then, this ancient country has become the object of wanton humiliation by the Western world. Even those small countries are able to ride on China's neck to and pee. Although China has the largest population in the world, it has become an object of enslavement by the Western powers. This has to be said to be a sadness for all Chinese.

As a China expert, Sir Juerdian knows how terrifying this ancient country can be once it embarks on the road to rise. From the standpoint of the entire Western world, he hoped that this day would never come. It's a pity that, unlike what they expected, this ancient country has completely risen, and it is still of their own making.

The division of the Western world has made it impossible to contain China's rise, and they can only watch this ancient country grow stronger step by step. By the time they had solved Europe's problems and come to their senses, the country might have grown into a behemoth that they could no longer contain.

"Damn the Germans, none of this would have happened if they hadn't wanted to challenge the world hegemony of the British Empire." Sir Jurdian muttered. Of course, there is nothing wrong with taking the position of an Englishman and blaming the Germans for everything. Had it not been for the arrogant Kaiser Wilhelm II's ambition to challenge British hegemony, the situation in Europe would not have been so tense. And they won't give China a chance to rise.

But is it wrong for the Germans to fight for a wider living space for their people? As an emerging country that has only completed unification for less than forty years. Germany's industrial development is ahead of the rest of Europe. In terms of industrial output and technological level, Germany is ahead of the whole of Europe. Their industrial products fill the market throughout Europe. However, in order to protect their domestic industries, old countries such as Britain and France have banned the entry of German goods through various means, which has seriously restricted Germany's development.

The current situation is that Britain and France occupy a vast colonial market, but their industrial strength is not as good as that of Germany. It's just that they use other means to effectively maintain their own industry. In such a situation, the Germans, of course, would be dissatisfied. If they want to achieve faster development, they must break the world system built by the old colonial powers such as Britain and France. And Britain, France and other countries obviously will not be willing to let the world system they have built be broken. Therefore, the only way for the two sides to break out is to break out into war. Decide it out through a large-scale war, the winner takes all, and the loser loses everything. And this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the distant Eastern Empire.

While Sir Jurdian was meditating, the car soon arrived at the Prince's Palace. Tang Shaoyi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, led people to greet the guests outside the palace.

"Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, congratulations." When Sir Jurdian got out of the car, a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Excellency, welcome. Britain made a great contribution to the return of peace to the Far East. I am sure that the peoples of the Far East will remember all that Britain has done. Tang Shaoyi smiled. He has been a foreign secretary for so many years, and it is the first time that he has straightened his waist so straight. In the face of these foreign adults, there is no need to pretend to be a grandson.

Sir Jurdian exchanged a few pleasantries, and was about to go in when the car from the German Legation arrived. Then, I saw Hahausen, the German minister to China, walking down with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, congratulations on your victory. I believe that this is definitely a great victory. Your country, after decades of sinking, will be revived as a result. "Minister Hahausen made no secret of his closeness to China. In fact, this is also the stated goal of Germany. The great military power of the Chinese Empire in the war made Germany hope to win over the Chinese Empire. It would be best if the Chinese Empire could be drawn into the Allies.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your support. Without the support of Germany, we could not have won this war. Tang Shaoyi expressed her heartfelt gratitude. Although, the Germans are only using China as a pawn. But in reality, without their support, China would not be as powerful as it is now. Of course, the two sides are more about taking what they need.

When Sir Jurdian saw all this, his brow could not help but furrow. If the Chinese Empire were to fall to Germany, this would probably not be a good thing for the Allies. It will even turn into a disaster.

The strength of the Chinese Empire's army was too strong, and the German army was known as the best in the world. If China and Germany were to attack Russia, would the Russians be able to resist it? That's obviously impossible. Once Russia collapsed, France would simply not be able to resist Germany. At that time, all of Europe will fall under the iron heel of Germany. Even the British could not stand alone with a strong navy. (To be continued......)
