Saionji Gongwang is very busy, as the prime minister of a country, although Tokyo Japan is small, he is not more relaxed than Zhang Kexuan. The division and occupation of the island of Ceylon alone will have too many things to discuss with the government in the southwest.

It is rare to have time to read newspapers, and I usually take the time to read them, focusing on the comments and public opinion on the top.

It's just that all of the above was when Saionji Gongwang was in his own territory, and now, he really has free time, and he has been ordered to come and sit in the reception room of this imperial palace, waiting for the summons of the king of Japan.

A moment later, when the Saionji Gongwang was about to change the newspaper layout, he heard footsteps. So, he took off his glasses and looked up to see that the chamberlain was leading another person into the reception room, but it was Ichiro Honno, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Tokyo government.

"Honno, why are you here too?" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang stood up and said hello.

Ichiro Honno saw that it was actually his boss who was present, so he hurried a few steps to salute and explained his intention.

"It was His Majesty who personally called to summon me, and I didn't dare not come."

Since the death of Emperor Meiji and the current Prince Kahito, who has just succeeded to the throne, he has taken off the title of Emperor of Japan and put on the crown of the King of Japan given by the Emperor of China. There is no doubt that there is no such thing as an era name in Japan, and they must follow in the footsteps of the country.

King Kahito was robbed of all his power in the face of many old ministers of the Meiji period, and in just two years, Japanese politics moved from dualism to a completely hypocritical British constitutional monarchy. But King Kahito still retains a certain influence, in the army, in the people. There are still some people who maintain respect for the Japanese royal family.

"Coincidentally, I was also summoned by His Majesty the King." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said with a smile. "Hurried over. But the palace attendants have been slow to bring me to your majesty, and listen to the meaning of your words. I'm afraid that Your Majesty is planning to summon us together. Now that you're here, I don't have to read the newspaper to pass the time. ”

Saionji Gongwang said haha, and Ichiro Honno gave up their seats, and then the two chatted face-to-face about the recent work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and now is the time for the new era to kick off, but unfortunately, Japan can't get on this stage. Although China's gifts are rich enough, what head of state can resist the temptation to dominate the world?

The two of them just sat there and chatted, and a few more minutes passed. A secretary of King Kahito walked into the reception room and invited Saionji and Ichiro Honno to the office. The two followed the secretary over, and found that the door of the king's office was hidden, and there seemed to be a sound of talking in the room.

The secretary walked into the office, hurried out again, and beckoned the two of them to hurry in to meet King Jiaren.

Saionji Kobo and Ichiro Honno walked into Kahito's oversized office and took a closer look. It turned out that the person who was talking to King Kahito was Tian Bo, the Chinese ambassador to Tokyo, but I am afraid that King Kahito had not summoned Saionji Gongwang just now was not only waiting for Saionji Gongwang and Honno Ichiro to arrive, but also the reason why Kahito had been talking to this person.

"Hello, Prime Minister of Saionji! Foreign Minister Motono. Hello! ”

When they met, Tian Bo was enthusiastic, stood up and greeted him in pure Tokyo Japanese. Saionji Gongwang and Ichiro Motono are full of question marks, but they are also polite. I secretly wondered what the Chinese ambassador meant. When the two of them came to the palace, they didn't know that Tian Bo was there.

"Please be seated. Ambassador Tian has just proposed to Gu Wang. Attend the World East-West Peace Conference in Los Angeles. Ambassador Tian came here this time to send an invitation letter to Guwang. "Jia Ren had a happy look on his face, and he was very happy with the sudden invitation from the Chinese government." I thought about it for a while and decided to accept the invitation, so I invited the two of you to come and discuss the measures and tendencies of our government at the peace conference. This matter is related to the country's plan, and it is impossible not to bother the two secretaries. ”

Jiaren's words can be regarded as making Saionji Gongwang and Ichiro Motono suddenly realize. Although Tokyo Japan is destined to follow in China's footsteps honestly, the Chinese government invited King Kahito instead of the Japanese government in Tokyo. Kahito himself really needs the prime minister and foreign minister to check for himself.

"I just don't know what day the government of the country will meet?"

Ichiro Honno was first concerned about this issue, and now that the war is nearing its end, the Los Angeles Peace Conference is a sure thing, and the key depends on which day. At this time, Jiaren's own going abroad will not be risky at all. The Chinese government's sudden invitation was supposed to be a reward for Japan, rather than a hypocrite from the Tokyo government, and Honno Ichiro thought it was more likely that China was expressing an attitude that there was no room for Japan to speak at the peace conference.

Then we will not look for the Japanese government, but only pull the sign of the king of Japan and increase Japan's popularity in front of the world.

When Saionji Gongwang and Ichiro Motono walked out of the palace, the two did not leave separately, but got into the same car together. Saionji Gongwang agrees with Ichiro Honno's idea, Tokyo Japan does not have room to speak at the meeting of the Los Angeles Peace Conference, which dominates the world, but the contributions made by Tokyo Japan and Southwest Japan to this war are obvious to all, and the Chinese government invited King Kahito to be present, which should be to give Japan a long face!

The benefits will not be restored, and the glory of the victorious country will be shared with Japan.

"I heard rumors at the top of China that His Majesty the old emperor formulated a long-term national policy at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, including the proposal of 'winning the Western Lihua Alliance'. Today, China has defeated the West twice, and the country is prosperous, and it has dominated the world. If the China Alliance is established, our country should go all out to get involved and gain a place. ”

"At present, the Los Angeles Peace Conference is only a starting point of China's prosperous era, and the Los Angeles Peace Conference should see some traces of what its China Alliance is."

As the name suggests, this is a big alliance with China as the core, and judging from the current world situation, this alliance will accommodate the entire 'Great Eastern' forces, and its influence is not only in the present, but also in the future.

Saionji Gongwang no longer thinks that Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other European powers have a chance to rise again after the current defeat. Africa is very rich, but it is not worth mentioning compared to India and the oil-producing Middle East. The British Empire will never be able to return to the moment of its heyday, and the power of the whole of Europe will naturally not be able to recover to its peak, so they will not have a chance to compare with the stronger China!

How many years will China be able to sit on the throne as the world hegemon? Xiyuan Temple is not sure. But China is too big, and Xiyuan Temple Gongwang personally thinks that a hundred years will not be a problem. And a hundred years later, even if China falls from the throne of world hegemon, it will only be because the vassal states have their own interests, and it will be pushed off the throne by its own strength, not an irresistible force from outside.

Therefore, nine times out of ten, China, which has fallen from the throne of world hegemony, will still be the world's largest power, at least the hegemon of the whole of Asia. If Tokyo and Japan want to gain room to survive and supplement their own interests in such an environment, they must firmly cling to China's thigh.

Ichiro Motono and Konozo Saionji exchanged their views on the matter, and in the long run, the two had very close ideas. That is, in the recent past, Ichiro Honno's thinking has one more 'WTO' than Saionji Gongwang!

In Ichiro Honno's view, the so-called China League and the WTO should complement each other, and while drawing a circle according to the rules of the allies, they also cooperate with the means of trade to hold the economies of various countries hostage.

After all, such a huge China, after the war, its huge domestic demand is a great attraction for any country.

The old emperor had already left Djibouti by this time, and for the first time in his life, he saw the sphinx with a nose that was said to have been shot by Napoleon. In fact, this is false, and the rumors are not credible. Long before Napoleon, there were records of sphinxes missing noses in Egypt.

But in the middle of a desert, the Egyptian pyramids are really eye-catching.

Liu Xian visited Egypt unofficially. Although the Ali dynasty of Egypt has long been disenfranchised, the Abbasid II did not win the struggle, and he himself was deposed from the throne by the British government, but the Ali dynasty is still there. Years of war have had an impact on Egypt, and the visible decline of Britain has given Egyptians more confidence, and nationalist sentiment is now running high in Egypt.

In the history of the original plane, Egypt became independent in 1922, and although Egypt was still controlled by the British government, the British still occupied and intervened in the affairs of Egypt and Sudan, and continued to deprive Egypt of control over Sudan. So much so that the Sultan not only became an independent country at the time of Liu Siam, but also split the north and south into two small states.

China's reluctance to touch the interests of the British and French on the Suez Canal is not because China is afraid of Britain and France and that the war will continue, but because it wants to maintain stability in the Middle East. If the Suez Canal is in China's hands, it will be immediately, and the Egyptians will 'look the other way' at China. If the British take advantage of the situation to declare that Egypt will be allowed to become independent, then the anger of the Egyptian people will definitely be directed at China. This is just a very simple and very crude method, the British have a solid foundation in the Arab world, China has no roots, and the British have too many covert means to make China unable to guard against it.

In the long run, this is not in China's interest. China has no land claims to Africa and the Middle East, all China needs is oil, and the Suez Canal has become much less important since most of the peninsula is in Chinese hands.

The most important thing is that China has no foundation in Egypt, and it is very difficult for China to continue to control the canal after taking over it.

And it is uncertain whether this wave of popular opposition caused by Egypt will go all the way to the west, south, and north. If you don't pay attention to this kind of thing, you will leave hidden dangers that will jeopardize China's century-old plan!

China doesn't need to be so greedy, let some interests, leave a good name, slow penetration, is more conducive to China's influence in the world. (To be continued.) )
