"However, this matter must be carried out in secret, and if the Americans detect something, it will be extremely detrimental to our army if they have been prepared in advance." Ren Chao added.

"Wechen understands!" Yang Jichang hurriedly responded.

"Your Majesty, with the help of our Chinese Empire, the Sri Lankan Passat formed the Kingdom of Ceylon, and submitted the above table to our Chinese Empire, requesting to join our Chinese Alliance and join the Allied bloc." Foreign Minister Liang Yan stood up and said loudly.

"This is a good thing, so that my Chinese Empire has one more vassal country, and I decreed that Pastor be canonized as the king of Ceylon." Ren Chao said happily. Although Ceylon is only a small island country with a population of several million, each additional subject country means that Ren Chao's strength is stronger again. This is not only because a country with a population of several million is officially incorporated into Huaxia's sphere of influence, on the other hand, Ren Chao will also increase an additional income because of this subject country, and this additional income refers to the system reward, because every time a subject country is added, the system will give Ren Chao a lot of rewards according to the comprehensive strength of the country, and every month Ren Chao can increase a stable income through this subject country.

After the outbreak of World War I, both Britain and France on the side of the Entente and Germany and Austria on the side of the Central Powers were greatly weakened in the war, and the Russian Empire even completely collapsed because of this war. However, the Chinese Empire continued to grow with the help of this war, and it was only a matter of time before the Chinese Empire won the victory in this war.

"Weichen Command!" Liang Yan replied respectfully.

"What is the situation on the Indian side? I have heard that in Delhi, the capital of India, the provisional government has been formed, is the newly formed provisional government willing to join our Chinese alliance? Ren Chao couldn't help but ask excitedly. India is not a small place, and the population is large, and the overall strength is not bad, if this country can be accepted as a subject country of China, Ren Chao will definitely be able to get a large amount of income, which Ren Chao has already coveted.

"Initiation of the Majesty. With the assistance of our country, the Indian National Congress Party has indeed formed an interim government. However, so far, there is still a certain amount of controversy within the Indian Provisional Government on whether to join the Chinese Alliance, and due to the current unstable situation in India, we do not dare to directly persecute these Indian Asan, so this matter still needs to take a lot of trouble. Liang Yan replied honestly.

"If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, then take your time!" Ren Chao said with some disappointment, "What is the current war in India?" ”

"At present, General Meng Yan is leading the army to launch an offensive against Mumbai, so far. Mumbai had become the last important British stronghold in India, and as long as Mumbai was conquered, the British power in India would be basically wiped out. According to General Meng Yan's report, according to the current progress, it is estimated that it will not be long before our army can successfully capture Mumbai. Yang Jichang replied respectfully.

"Good!" Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now everything is developing in the direction that is beneficial to our Huaxia Empire, but although our army has successfully occupied the Indian subcontinent, our navy cannot be idle. Continue to advance westward to eliminate the main force of the British fleet, successfully seize the control of the Arabian Sea, and assist the western expeditionary army to capture the entire Arabian Peninsula. ”

"At present, the main force of our naval fleet has moved westward. They were rushing to the waters near the Gulf of Aden in search of the main forces of the British fleet for a decisive battle. Admiral Minister Yu Kun said respectfully. After the Chinese Empire launched an attack on India, the British Indian fleet was soon completely annihilated by the Chinese navy. At this time, after the Battle of Jutland, Britain had completely achieved sea supremacy in the European theater. The German navy retreated into the harbor and did not dare to fight again. Only the so-called unrestricted submarine warfare could be carried out to strike at the British sea transport lines, in order to guarantee the safety of the sea transport lines. The British Navy had to send a large number of ships to escort the ship to prevent a sneak attack by the elusive German submarines. Although this was very effective in limiting the German submarines, it also greatly restrained the main naval force of the British.

The British were limited in the number of naval warships they could draw to support the Indian battlefield, and in the face of the powerful Chinese navy, such a weak force was tantamount to death. The British, desperated, could only turn to their allies, Italy and France, for help, and the navies of these three countries formed a combined fleet and went to the waters of the Gulf of Aden in an attempt to keep the Chinese army out of the Gulf of Aden and cut off the Chinese Empire's water passage into Europe. After the United States entered the war, the U.S. Navy also sent a fleet to join the ranks of this combined fleet, resulting in a great increase in the strength of the combined fleet, which could almost compete with the Chinese navy.

"I once remembered that the American Mahan's "Treatise on Sea Power" mentioned that the Jutland Peninsula and the island of Zealand in Denmark control the choke points of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea; The Strait of Gibraltar connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean; The Suez Canal is a shipping route between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean, and if we can grasp these strategic points, we can take advantage of the sea to control the land. The Navy's next goal was to defeat the combined naval fleets of Britain, France, Italy, and the United States, and assist the Army in capturing the Suez Canal, a shipping route between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. Ren Chao said with a stern face.

"We're in command! Please rest assured that our Huaxia Navy will definitely not disappoint the high expectations of Your Majesty! Yu Kun said confidently.

"I'm sure you won't disappoint me!" Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Initiating His Majesty, Wei Chen still has something to report to His Majesty. According to our intelligence officers, the Americans are currently expanding their naval base in Hawaii and are secretly building a naval forward base in Guam. According to Weichen's speculation, the Americans' move was to figure out that Guò Pacific directly attacked the mainland of our Chinese Empire. According to reports from our intelligence officers in the United States, a large number of American warships are currently massing on the west coast of the United States and heading for Hawaii. Yu Kun said respectfully.

Ren Chao frowned and thought for a while, and couldn't help but show a smile, "It seems that these Yankees saw that the main force of our navy was transferred to the Indian Ocean, and thought that our local navy defense was empty, so they wanted to take advantage of the weakness and attack the mainland of our Chinese Empire." Although this move cannot deal a fatal blow to our Chinese Empire, it can induce the main force of our navy to return to defense, and on the other hand, it can also deal a heavy blow to our Chinese Empire in terms of morale. It's a pity that these Yankees' wishful thinking was wrong, did Wei save Zhao? These are the remaining tricks used by our ancestors, and they are now using them on us, isn't it a hatchet?
