"His Royal Highness Prince Weihito of Arisugawa Palace, aren't you happy to hear the news that Britain has declared war on China?" Shan County Youpeng asked in surprise. In his arrival, the Chinese Navy annihilated the Japanese Navy, and the three commanders of the Japanese Navy were left alone, Prince Arisugawa Palace Weihito, and Prince Arisugawa Palace Weihito should be very angry. And now Britain has declared war on China, which is obviously giving the Japanese Navy a chance to take revenge! Of course, if possible, it would be better if Japan was able to take revenge personally. But now that he doesn't have the ability, it's not impossible to take revenge from Britain.

"Your Royal Highness, when the British Navy has eliminated the China Navy, the Army will launch an attack on China. When we have conquered the capital of the Chinese people, let them pay a large amount of indemnity. When the time comes, we will be able to re-establish a strong navy! Kirio Keitaro said with a smile. As if, if the naval factor is not taken into account, the Chinese Army must not be an opponent of the Japanese Army.

"Humph! I only hope that we will be able to hold out until the day when the British Navy will go on an expedition to the Far East! Prince Weiren of Arisugawa Palace said coldly. These people can't help but think things too simply.

"What does His Royal Highness mean?" Shan County Youpeng asked.

"From Europe to the Far East, it's 20,000 kilometers. Even if the British Navy sent its fleet eastward, it would take two months. In addition, the main forces of the British Navy, which are also scattered all over the world, will also take a lot of time to assemble. The most optimistic estimates suggest that it will take three months or more for the British Navy to reach the Far East. And these three months are enough time for China to launch an attack on us! Prince Arisugawa Miyashihito analyzed. Obviously, although Britain declared war on China, it could not pose a threat to China in the short term. And before the British navy could reach the Far East, Japan would first have to face a Chinese attack.

Sure enough, as soon as Prince Weiren of Arisugawa Palace finished speaking, everyone's faces were a little bad. They also found that it seemed that they were overjoyed, and that things were far from being as simple as they thought. These Japanese political elites would not have thought of these things originally. However, because China is putting too much pressure on Japan. That's why when I hear that Britain has declared war on China, I can't help but be overjoyed.

"Your Royal Highness, the Army is sure to protect Japan. As long as the people of China dare to land in Japan, we will definitely make them pay an unbearable price. Support for three months, it's not a problem at all! Lu Xiang Keitaro said toughly.

"Do the people of China need to land? They just need to blockade Japan as they did last time, not allow our fishermen to go out to sea to fish, and then destroy our industrial facilities, and the whole of Japan will be finished! Prince Arisugawa Palace Weiren shook his head and said.

"Starting tomorrow, we will try to relocate all industrial equipment to inland areas, and do our best to preserve our industrial strength and leave Japan with a chance for reconstruction!" Prime Minister Shan Shan Youpeng said with a somewhat difficult face.

"The arsenal needed by the army can be dispersed to residential areas or directly completed by small workshops. The people of China should not be mad enough to wantonly attack ordinary people! "Tibetan Prime Minister Songfang Justice also built yì road. If the army wants to hold Japan, it needs a lot of weapons and ammunition. And now the arsenal will definitely become a priority target for the Chinese Navy to destroy. The dispersal of these equipment in a preemptive manner was conducive to increasing Japan's war potential. As for the steel and other materials needed for the production of weapons and ammunition, they can only rely on their daily reserves.

"Your Excellency Katsura Taro, from now on, the Army must enter a state of emergency combat readiness. Whether Japan will perish or not depends on whether the army can hold Japan! Shan County has a friend Yan said.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, please rest assured, the Army will definitely defend Japan to the death!" Katsura Taro patted his chest and replied, he was very confident. The current Japanese Army is no longer the Japanese Army of four years ago, and there has been a great improvement in both equipment and training. Moreover, now that it is a local operation, the Japanese Army has the advantage of home field and will definitely be able to win the final victory.

Prince Arisugawa Miyahito didn't say much, as a Japanese admiral, he had a deeper understanding of this naval battle. Originally, he was a little unconvinced of the performance of China's new battleships. But now, the combat power of the Chinese Navy's 'Zhonghua-class' battleships has completely surpassed his imagination. Will the British Navy be able to defeat the Chinese Navy on an expedition to the Far East? He was very skeptical. According to the information received by Japan, the newest battleship of the Chinese Navy will soon be put into service. At that time, the British Navy will be under even greater pressure. If the British Navy was defeated, then Japan would never have a chance.

The Chinese Navy's 'Qin-class' battleships have always been under secret construction. Even during the sea trials, the nearby waters were blocked by the Chinese navy. This makes the outside world speculate that the Chinese Navy will build new battleships, but there is no knowledge of the specific parameters and service time of the new battleships. However, Prince Arisugawa Miyahito believes that the newly built battleships of the Chinese Navy will not be weaker than the 'Zhonghua-class' battleships, but will only be stronger. Another reason was that the British Navy could not have lost Europe and sent all its warships to the East. It is very difficult to say whether the British Navy will be victorious in such a situation.

Japan's Meiji Emperor, who was seriously ill, was also overjoyed when he learned the news. The originally pale face suddenly became even more rosy. However, it also seems to be the last flashback.

On the morning of the 4th, the British Minister to China, Zhu Erdian, took a car to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was there to hand in a declaration of war. Zhu Erdian's mood was very complicated, although he knew that a big war would definitely break out between China and Britain for the benefit of the Far East. But he didn't expect that it would come so quickly, and it still started with the annihilation of the British Far East Fleet, which made him very angry. He had strong confidence in Britain, and he firmly believed that the final victory would definitely belong to the British Empire.

This morning's newspapers also carried a large report on the news of yesterday's naval annihilation of the British Far East Fleet. This once again ignited the excitement and joy of the Chinese people, but some people felt uneasy. In their country, Britain is the world's most powerful country! Now that China is at war with Japan, the United States, and Russia, and now with the addition of Britain, will China be able to fight?

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Zhu Erdian appeared in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and under the guidance of the staff, he came to Wu Tingfang's office.

"Your Excellency Ng Dinh Fong, on behalf of the Government of the British Empire, I formally submit a declaration of war to your country. From now on, the British Empire and China were at war. Zhu Erdian said to Wu Tingfang.

"It's a pity! However, on behalf of the Imperial Government, I also declare war on Great Britain! Wu Tingfang was not timid. At this point, he could only trust that the Empire's army would be able to achieve a final victory.

"Well, I hope we'll see you again in the future!" After Zhu Erdian finished speaking, he left Wu Tingfang's office.

According to the regulations, Zhu Erdian will leave China within the time limit. As for the future relations between Britain and China, this will have to wait until after the war. However, Zhu Erdian believes that it will not be long before he returns to Beijing, and when the time comes, he will return to Beijing as a victor, and will let these stupid and ignorant Chinese know that the whole world belongs to the West.

After Zhu Erdian left, Wu Tingfang went to the palace. Britain's choice of China escalated the war between China and the Pacific Alliance, and China would face attacks from four powers. And, it is foreseeable, soon the French should also declare war on China. At that time, China will be at war with the world's five powers at the same time. Although it is a bit crazy, I have to admit that the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

In the imperial palace, in Wang Yuze's study, Wang Yuze was discussing the next military action with Xiong Wu, chief of the General Staff, Cai Yun, minister of war, Jiang Xingguo, minister of national defense, and Zhang Cheng, minister of the navy. China is at war with five powers at the same time, and it is impossible to say that there is no pressure. China can only use one victory after another to inspire its people and give them confidence in the empire. Otherwise, once even the people lose confidence, there will be no way to fight this battle!

"Your Majesty, the military operation against the South Seas has entered the preparatory stage. Half a month later, the offensive will be launched. The specific plan was for the 7th, 28th, 30th, and 52nd Divisions of the Southwest Military Region to attack Burma from Yunnan. These two divisions have been trained for four years in jungle warfare and are fully capable of fighting against Burma. Among them, the 7th, 28th and 52nd Divisions set out from Ruili and attacked Lashio in the south, and advanced south until they occupied Rangoon. The 30th Division set out from Tengchong and attacked Myitkyina, sweeping through northwestern Burma before moving south. The 22nd, 24th, and 31st Divisions of the South China Military Region, as well as the newly formed 71st and 72nd Divisions, will attack the colony of Indochina and wipe out the French ** team and the French armed colonial indigenous army entrenched here. The 5th and 8th Brigades of the Marine Corps will also be engaged in battle, with the 5th Brigade landing on the Malay Peninsula and the 1st Brigade landing on Kalimantan Island. Xiong Wu recounted.

"Two brigades attacking the Straits Settlements of the British? Is the force a little weaker? Wang Yuze asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, Britain in the Straits Settlements had only a regular army of more than 10,000 men. The rest, as well as more than 20,000 colonial indigenous troops, are no match for us at all. When attacking Singapore, the navy provides artillery support, and this will not be a problem! If the troops are insufficient by then, the 9th Brigade can be drawn from the Philippines to participate in the war! Xiong Wu explained.

Wang Yuze nodded at this time and expressed his approval of this battle plan.
