"We in the British Empire lodge a strong protest against your government's military action in the South Seas, and you are a barbaric act of aggression, and we in the British Empire and the Entente will not sit idly by." British Ambassador to China Powell said to Liang Yan with spit on him.

"Dear Mr. Powell, I think you have misunderstood, our Chinese Empire has always been a peace-loving country, and it will never start wars, let alone invade other countries. With regard to our army's military operations in Nanyang, we have only two aims: the first is to protect the personal and property safety of our overseas Chinese in Nanyang, and the second is to help the people of Nanyang overthrow the colonial rule of the Dutch and strive for freedom and democracy. This is a just war, how can it be considered aggression? Liang Yan said with a smile.

"You're arguing with reason!" Powell said menacingly.

"Mr. Powell, don't worry, I'm not done yet!" Liang Yan smiled and said, "Speaking of aggression, this reminds me of something decades ago, in 1840 you British launched the Opium War, in 1842 the "Treaty of Nanjing" illegally occupied our Hong Kong Island, and in 1860 through the "Treaty of Beijing" illegally occupied our Kowloon Division area, this is pure aggression!" ”

"Those are all equal treaties signed between the British Empire and the Qing government, how can the land legally acquired be considered an invasion?" Powell argued loudly.

"Equal treaties, legally obtained!" Liang Yan stared at Powell intently and said with a sneer, "Okay then! I have also prepared a peace treaty here, hoping that your government will cede the Isles of Scotland and the Isles of Ireland to my Chinese Empire, and if your government has no objections, we will sign a contract! I promise that this is also an equal treaty. ”

"You are wishful thinking!" Powell's eyes were about to pop out in surprise, isn't it a joke that this guy wants to cut Scotland and Ireland?

"That's it! I'm not going to talk nonsense with you anymore! Liang Yan said with a cold face, "His Majesty, the Holy Martial Emperor of my Chinese Empire, has decreed that Hong Kong is the inherent territory of my Chinese Empire, and my Chinese Empire will never allow anyone. If you occupy the territory of our Chinese Empire by any means, you British must withdraw from Hong Kong within 24 hours, otherwise it will be regarded as your country's declaration of war on our Chinese Empire, and we will not be able to guarantee the personal and property safety of the British in Hong Kong, and any losses caused by this will be borne by your country! ”

"Are you declaring war on my British Empire?" Powell held back the shock in his heart and asked.

"You can understand it that way, remember that you only have 24 hours." Liang Yan said unceremoniously, and after finishing speaking, he ignored Powell's reaction at all, turned his head and left.

"You're going to pay for today's decision, you're going to regret it!" Powell looked at Liang Yan's back. shouted hoarsely.

On April 1, 1914, the Chinese Empire officially declared war on Britain and France. This day happens to be April Fool's Day in the West, and many people still think that this is a joke played by the Chinese people to them. But in Hong Kong, when the shells of the Chinese army accurately landed on the positions of the British, the British came to their senses, and this was definitely not a joke.

On 1 April, the 22nd and 23rd Divisions of the Huaxia Army stationed on the Kowloon Peninsula launched a fierce attack on British positions in Hong Kong, while the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet each successfully blockaded Hong Kong Island.

April 2nd. His Majesty the Emperor Shengwu of the Chinese Empire issued the famous "Asia Declaration", claiming that Asia was the Asia of Asians and calling on all Asians to unite and drive the European colonizers out of Asia.

"Appointed Hu Guangde as commander-in-chief of the Siberian theater of operations. Led the 1st Army, the 2nd Army assisted the Grand Duchy of the Urals in its offensive against Tsarist Russia. The Siberian battlefield was mainly used to contain the Russians, mainly with the Ural army launching an offensive to contain the Russians. Reducing the pressure on the German-Austrian forces on the Eastern and Southern Fronts in the European theater, and making it impossible for Russia to divide its forces to support Central Asia. Yang Jichang took a copy of the text in his hand and said loudly.

"That's good! That's good! Let Vasily lead his Ural army and go desperately with the Russians! After the outbreak of the European war, the Russians suffered the greatest losses. The current Tsarist Empire is already at the end of its power, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the Tsarist Empire will completely collapse! Ren Chao said with a smile.

"At present, the Ural principality already has an army of 500,000 troops, and with the assistance of our army, it can contain at least one million Russian troops. In the current situation of Russia, I am afraid that it is no longer capable of launching an offensive! Yang Jichang said with a smile.

Nearly 10 million Russians from the Far East were relocated to Novosibirsk, bringing the population of the newly formed Ural principality to more than 10 million. With the strong support of the Chinese Empire, Vasily soon assembled an army of 500,000 troops. Although the combat effectiveness of this army was questionable, Vasily and the ministers and generals of the Ural Principality were loyal to the Chinese Empire. Because without the support of the Huaxia Empire, these people would not be bullshit. Moreover, these people even wanted to destroy Tsarist Russia more than the Chinese, because only after eliminating this threat could they guarantee the glory and wealth in their hands.

"The Siberian theater of operations is considered stable for the time being! Yang Qing, you continued. Ren Chao nodded slightly and said.

"In the Central Asian Theater, Niu Kaixuan was appointed as the commander-in-chief, leading the Third Army and the Fourth Army with an army of about 500,000 to launch an offensive against Afghanistan, and after capturing Afghanistan, continue to attack India." Yang Jichang continued.

In 1858, the British government officially took over the rule of India, and India gradually became one of the most important British colonies in the world, known as the "crown jewel". If we can successfully pluck this pearl, it will be tantamount to cutting off one of the hands of the British. However, with only the 500,000 troops in the hands of Niu Kaixuan, it is probably far from enough to capture the vast territory of India. Ren Chao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, according to the plan of the General Staff, our army will launch an offensive in Indochina. Meng Yan was appointed commander-in-chief, and led about 600,000 troops of the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh armies to launch an offensive on the Indochina Peninsula and capture Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Burma and other places. After the capture of Burma, an attack was launched against India through Burma. In this way, under the attack of our army on both sides, we will definitely be able to successfully take off this jewel in the British crown! Yang Jichang replied with confidence.

"Hmm!" Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction and said, "What about Nanyang?" (To be continued......)
