The destruction of Japan is undoubtedly a huge system project. The army will send nearly a million troops, and the navy will also have to send the vast majority of its troops. The mobilization of logistical materials involved is enough to make people daunting. What's more, if the empire sends troops to destroy Japan, it may also encounter strong opposition from Britain and the United States, or even military intervention. Therefore, if the empire wants to destroy Japan, it will undoubtedly be very difficult.

It would be difficult to destroy Japan, but if Japan was not destroyed, the empire would face even greater trouble. If the empire can successfully destroy Japan, then all the crises facing the empire can be easily solved. Therefore, this opportunity, the empire must firmly grasp it. What's more, Emperor Wu Haoxuan chose to start next year, which will be of great benefit to the empire. At that time, neither the 'Yamato-class' nor the 'Amagi-class' battleships that Japan had high hopes for were able to enter service, and the Imperial Navy was still much stronger than the Japanese Navy. In addition, the empire will be helped by other aspects.

After the Emperor gave the order to fight against Japan, the Cabinet, the General Staff, the War Department, the Admiralty, the Logistics and Equipment Department, and the Pacific Fleet all began to make preparations in secret. After all, this is a large-scale war. The war involved the leadership of the Far East. There is still a lot to prepare, and the empire must be fully prepared.

The Japanese did not seem to have noticed the actions of the Empire. After all, the current Sea of Japan is immersed in the ecstasy that the tonnage of the capital ships of their Navy is about to become the first in the world. According to the treaty signed at the Washington Conference, the British, American, and Chinese navies will have only 500,000 tons of capital ships. Japan, on the other hand, was not subject to restrictions because it withdrew from the meeting. By the time the Yamato-class battleships and Amagi-class battlecruisers are commissioned, the total tonnage of the Japanese Navy's capital ships will probably exceed 600,000 tons. In this case, wouldn't the Japanese Navy become the world's number one? The Japanese probably never imagined that their navy would become the best in the world under such circumstances. This inevitably made the ambition of the Japanese swell again. Originally. The most important thing the Japanese thought about was how to resist the attack of the Chinese* army and keep Japan. But now, some arrogant Japanese are already thinking about how much they can get out of China after defeating China. After that, he used it as capital to compete for hegemony with Britain and the United States and other countries. If Japan can succeed, then. They will be able to become world hegemons.

I have to admit that the Japanese have great ambitions, and once their ambitions are inflated, the whole world will not be able to fit them. Today, Japan's economy is in decline, its finances are on the verge of collapse, and the lives of ordinary people are difficult. In such a situation, they still have the ambition to compete for world hegemony. This is undoubtedly a big joke! What's more, the Japanese simply don't know. The Chinese Empire was already preparing to destroy Japan, and there would be no chance left for them. Therefore, the ambition of the Japanese is destined to be a pipe dream that will never be realized.

At a time when China was secretly preparing for war, in the royal palace of Tehran, thousands of kilometers away from China, the king of Iran, Ahmad Shah, was in flames. The twenty-four-year-old monarch felt that he was getting more and more aggrieved. The power of the whole country is in the hands of Prime Minister Sai Giaddin, who is in collusion with the British. He, the king's order, can't leave the palace at all. Even. There are still a lot of people in the palace who don't listen to him. There is no doubt that Ahmad Shah is now a puppet king. If it weren't for the objections of ordinary Iranians, perhaps the British and Sai Gyaddin would have planned to replace him outright.

"O Allah! Those guys are damned traitors who are actually colluding with infidels to subvert my country. What should I do? Could it be that the Qajar dynasty, which has been inherited for more than 200 years, is about to be destroyed in my hands? Ahmad Shah was very tormented. He seemed to have felt it. His reign was soon to come to an end.

"No, I can't sit still like that. If I don't resist, I'll only end my reign sooner. Ahmad Shah said. However, he then found out. In the entire kingdom of Iran, he does not have the slightest power at all. And Say-Giardin and the British. controlled the entire country. If he wants to resist, it will undoubtedly be very difficult.

"Damn, how can this be? What the hell should I do? "Ahmad Shah is like a beast trapped in a cage, with no choice but to watch death come step by step.

Ahmad Shah thought about it for a while, but found that he had no power at all in the kingdom of Iran, which was undoubtedly a great sorrow for a king. However, Ahmad Shah is not a man who sits still. He knew that if he didn't resist, he would die. Now he's only twenty-four, and there's plenty of time to squander! If you die now, it will be too unjust. He needs to work not only for the sake of the entire Khazar dynasty, but also for his own life.

Those forces in the country, he obviously can't rely on. In such a situation, he can only rely on external forces. And the whole Middle East is undoubtedly the territory of the British and Chinese. Before the Chinese entered the Middle East, it became a place dominated by the British. Originally, the Kingdom of Iran was a key contest between Russia and Great Britain. Russia controlled the northern part of the Kingdom of Iran, while Britain controlled the southern part of the Kingdom of Iran. However, after the collapse of the Russian Empire, the Russian power also withdrew from the Kingdom of Iran, so that the British occupied the entire Kingdom of Iran in one fell swoop, and it was precisely because of this that the British were able to turn Iran into a British protectorate in the Yellow Emperor era 4617 (19). However, after China's involvement in the Middle East, the conflict with the British became more and more intense. At one point, China wanted to replace Russia and take over the northern part of the Kingdom of Iran. However, this was met with strong opposition from the British. The last time the Chinese* army forcibly borrowed from the northern part of the Kingdom of Iran, it was actually the Chinese Empire that took the opportunity to show dissatisfaction.

"The British were bent on making the Kingdom of Iran their protectorate, and they fully supported Sai Giyadin. If I help them, it won't do anything. It will even fall into the mouth of the tiger. So I had to think of something else. Ahmad Shah thought to himself.

"It seems that the Chinese are my only savior. If I can get the help of the Chinese, then I will be able to keep my country and even remove all the traitors of Sai Giyadin. The Chinese have a strong army in the Middle East, and if they are willing to help me, the British will definitely not be able to do it. The only concern is that these Chinese have always been greedy, will they be hungry wolves who can't be fed? Ahmad Shah was worried.

However, he soon made up his mind. Although the Chinese are greedy, they will never swallow the Kingdom of Iran whole. If the British had taken control of the Kingdom of Iran, then he, the disobedient king, would have been dealt with first. Therefore, for the sake of his own life, he could only turn to the Chinese Empire for help. Even if it is a big price, it will not hesitate.

"Someone, go and invite the Chinese representative, I have something important to see him." Ahmad Shah instructed the attendant beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The waiter nodded, and immediately went to inform him.

Ahmad Shah is a very undesirable king. However, he still had several loyal subordinates as a king. After all, the Qajar dynasty undoubtedly had a lot of influence in the Kingdom of Iran. Those who are loyal to them still account for the majority.

Tian Jun, the Chinese Empire's residence in the Kingdom of Iran, was also stunned when he received the news that Ahmad Shah was going to summon him. After all, because of the British repression, China's influence in Iran is small. Especially when the British have almost taken control of the power of the Kingdom of Iran, it is difficult for China to do anything big unless it uses force. Therefore, Tian Jun also thinks that there are not many opportunities here. He is already ready to report to China and apply for a transfer from here. After all, he was too young to waste time here. If you move elsewhere, you may have a greater opportunity to make a difference.

However, now the king of the Kingdom of Iran is going to summon him personally. This undoubtedly gave him a chance.

"Does that puppet king seem to be willing to be lonely too? If that's the case, it couldn't be better. If you can help the empire and turn the Kingdom of Iran from a British protectorate into a vassal state of the empire. Well, this should be a big deal. At that time, even if you are transferred out of the Kingdom of Iran, you will definitely get a better position. Tian Jun thought secretly.

He then instructed the delegates to prepare their cars and prepare to go to the Iranian palace to meet Ahmad Shah.

The Chinese Empire wanted to replace Britain and take control of the Kingdom of Iran. In this way, the Chinese Empire would be able to connect with its colonies and territories in the Middle East and the Caucasus by land. Oil from the Baku oil field can even be transported back to the country directly by pipeline. Not to mention, the Kingdom of Iran itself is a country with huge oil reserves. If it can control it, the empire will be able to obtain more oil resources. (To be continued.) )
