At 9 a.m. on February 14, 1909, the United States formally declared war on the Chinese Empire on the grounds that a submarine of the Empire of China sank an American passenger liner from Sydney, Australia, bound for San Francisco, the USS Lusitania, killing 702 civilians from various countries, including 310 Americans.

The country, which had people killed in the sinking passenger ship, also strongly condemned the Chinese Empire.

Immediately after Japan officially declared war on the Chinese Empire at 2 o'clock in the afternoon on February 14, but Japan did not say what reason to declare war, in fact, there was no need for any reason between Japan and the Chinese Empire, the hatred between the two sides was really too deep, after Japan officially declared war on the Chinese Empire, the entire Japanese people burst out with considerable enthusiasm, and an atmosphere of shame permeated the Japanese people. How supportive the Japanese people are for Japan to join this war, after all, this time the Japanese are standing next to the other eight powerful countries in the world.

In the United States, there was great enthusiasm for the sinking of the passenger liner Lusitania by the Chinese Empire, and even large-scale demonstrations broke out in many American cities to severely punish the Chinese Empire, and many Chinese shops in these cities were smashed and looted by angry Americans, many Chinese were injured, and dozens of Chinese were beaten to death.

After the declaration of war, the U.S. government immediately announced the confiscation of all the assets of the Chinese Empire in the United States, in fact, it was mainly aimed at all of Lin Daxin's industries in the United States, which was definitely a wealth that could rival the rich.

Immediately, Lin Daxin's oil fields, mines, ranches, factories, jewelry stores, department stores, fast food restaurants, and banks in the United States were all seized by the US government, and the US government announced that it would nationalize the assets of the Chinese Empire in the United States. However, the U.S. seizure of Lin Daxin's assets in the United States was not very smooth. For example, Lin Daxin's American-Chinese Bank established in the United States has become one of the top ten banks in the United States. When the Americans began to seize the US-China Bank, they found that the Chinese executives of the US-China Bank had disappeared, and a large amount of cash and valuables in the entire bank had also disappeared.

At this moment, the U.S. government panicked, knowing that the American people's deposits in the U.S.-China Bank were as high as $500 million, and the money suddenly disappeared, and the bank was confiscated by the U.S. government, then this hole of up to $500 million has to be carried by the U.S. government!

The U.S. government immediately dispatched hundreds of professional accountants to account for the accounts of the U.S.-China Bank. After hundreds of professional accountants finished accounting the accounts of the US-China Bank, the top level of the entire US government was stunned, and the US-China Bank raised the deposit interest rate some time ago, so that the American people's deposits in the US-China Bank reached 8. $800 million, that's not counting, the US-China Bank also borrowed several huge sums of money from several other banks in the United States at high interest rates, adding up to more than $300 million. And now this huge amount of nearly $1.2 billion has disappeared without a trace, not including the disappeared gold, diamonds and other valuables, many of which were deposited by the American people in the US-China Bank.

In addition, Lin Daxin's funds in other industries in the United States were originally in the Bank of the United States. At this time, that part of the funds also disappeared, and the accounts of this part of the funds were not found by the Americans.

Much of Lin Daxin's equipment in oil fields, mines and factories in the United States has been vandalized. Even at the very moment when the United States declared war on the Chinese Empire, Lin Daxin had a series of explosions in all oil fields and mines in the United States. As a result, if these fields and mines want to resume production, they must be reinvested in construction. The Chinese top leaders in these oil fields, mines and factories are also nowhere to be seen.

In the jewelry stores and department stores opened by Lin Daxin in various cities in the United States, the valuables have also disappeared, while the Kentucky Chicken chain fast food restaurants opened by Lin Daxin in the United States have all closed down without the help of Americans, and the Chinese store managers of these jewelry stores, department stores, and fast food restaurants have also disappeared.

President Theodore of the United States? Roosevelt scolded several of his subordinates who were responsible for monitoring Lin Daxin's enterprises in the United States. Roosevelt asked them, the heads of the US intelligence departments, to keep an eye on Lin Daxin's enterprises, and as a result, they monitored them in this way, and the huge amount of nearly $1.2 billion was swept away by the people of the Chinese Empire, but the elites of the US intelligence departments did not know anything, and such a large amount of money disappeared under the noses of the Americans.

What makes the US government even more headache is that many American people have lined up in front of the US-China banks in various places to withdraw their deposits, fortunately, Lin Daxin has a large number of oil fields, mines and pastures in the United States, like the East Texas oil field under Lin Daxin's name, but it is the largest oil field in the United States, and Lin Daxin can't take these things, so US President Theodore? Roosevelt hurriedly found the people in charge of several major consortia in the United States, and disposed of a large part of the oil fields, mines, and ranches under Lin Daxin's name to these major consortia in the United States at ultra-low prices, and then let these major consortia take over the big hole of the U.S.-China Bank, and finally coped with the turmoil of the seizure of the U.S.-China Bank.

In general, the U.S. government still made a lot of money this time, but because it was finally put on the table by Lin Daxin's U.S.-China Bank, it was much less than the U.S. government expected to get.

In the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Chinese Empire, Lin Daxin sat on the throne of the main hall with a gloomy face, and inside the main hall stood Wang Yan, prime minister of the cabinet, Wu Peifu, minister of national defense, Jiang Hui, vice minister of the Ministry of National Defense in charge of the navy, Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Shen Peng, director of the Secrecy Bureau.

Shen Peng, director of the Secret Bureau, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, our Secret Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau's joint divestment operation in the United States has transferred a total of 17 to China. $600 million and a large number of gold, diamonds and other valuables were basically transferred from the U.S.-China Bank. "This 17. The 600 million includes the funds deposited in the US-China Bank by the American companies under Lin Daxin's name.

Lin Daxin scolded his mother, and then said: "This time, the U.S. government confiscated my property in the United States, although we have prepared in advance. But I still suffered heavy losses in the United States, if it weren't for the use of the American-Chinese Bank to trap the Americans. This time the U.S. government has made a big bargain, but I have those oil fields and mines in the United States. The total value now has to be more than 10 billion dollars, and the future value will be even higher, and in general, I still lost a lot this time, and the Americans have no room at all this time. ”

Wu Peifu, Minister of National Defense, said viciously at this time: "Your Majesty, when the troops of our Chinese Empire land on the land of the United States, we will definitely make them repay ten times and a hundred times the things that the Americans have looted." ”

Lin Daxin waved his hand, sighed and said, "Forget it." I was able to get 17 back this time. $600 million in cash is already a lot, just a part of it can be used for the war fund, by the way, in the United States, have the people in our country withdrawn? ”

Shen Peng nodded and said: "Hundreds of corporate executives, including Mr. Jerson, and thousands of domestic employees who went to the United States have left the United States by boat, but there are still thousands of domestic employees who went to the United States and are stranded in the United States. ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said: "These people are all eaten with me, and they must not be thrown into a concentration camp by the Americans!" ”

Concentration camps are mentioned. Lin Daxin immediately gritted his teeth, according to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Agency, an anti-Chinese empire movement broke out in the United States, and many Chinese shops were smashed and looted. Many Chinese were killed and wounded, and the U.S. government not only turned a blind eye to such atrocities, but also acted as spies. A large number of Chinese in the United States were arrested and thrown into makeshift Chinese concentration camps. The assets of the arrested Chinese were all confiscated by the U.S. government. According to intelligence, in less than 10 days after the declaration of war by the United States, nearly 10,000 Chinese have been thrown into the temporary concentration camps built by the Americans, including many elderly people and children.

It seems that the Americans have built up a relatively powerful navy and a not weak army in recent years, which has made the Americans inflate themselves, and they really think that the Chinese empire is now a soft persimmon!

After the Chinese Empire declared war with the Entente and the Central Powers, although the fighting was extremely fierce, the two sides did not take any drastic measures against the civilians of the other country in their own countries, at most they expelled the civilians of the other country from the country, and no one directly deprived the Chinese of their property like the Americans, and then arrested them and threw them into concentration camps, which made Lin Daxin, the ruler of the Chinese Empire, already angry.

You Americans dare to confiscate my property, after all, the two sides have declared war and are already in the middle of the war, but they still dare to injure and kill my people, and deprive so many Chinese in the United States of their assets, and throw people into concentration camps, which is really too much.

Since you Americans don't want to have a good time, then I won't be polite, Lin Daxin said to Wu Peifu: "Ziyu, your Ministry of Defense is ready to start the battle plan to attack Alaska, and now that the Americans are torn their faces, then we don't have to be polite, we are ready to take this place down first, in Alaska, I have a lot of oil fields and mines, and when I take Alaska, I can also reduce my losses this time." ”

Wu Peifu nodded and said: "No problem, now our 2 new guards and 5 new field armies have been formed, although the combat effectiveness is worse than the old main army, but even in the face of the strongest combat effectiveness of the German Army or the French Army, our newly formed main army still has the confidence to win the battle!" Chen believes that as long as the navy cooperates, only 2 or 3 main forces need to be dispatched, and the whole of Alaska can be swept away. ”

Jiang Hui, vice minister of defense in charge of the navy, said at this time: "Your Majesty, according to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Agency, the second joint expeditionary fleet that the Entente countries, the Allied Powers and the United States are preparing to form will soon set off from Europe and make another expedition to Asia, and the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy and the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy have also formed a joint fleet of the United States and the Japanese Navy, but now these enemy fleets want to come over, it will take a lot of time, if we want to attack Alaska, it is best to start the battle plan as soon as possible, Now in the entire Alaska waters, the strength of the US Navy is not strong, it can even be said to be very weak, and our Navy only needs to send any garrison fleet to cover the landing of the land in Alaska. ”

After three days of the Nine-Power Conference of the Entente, the Allies, and the United States and Japan against the Chinese Empire, it was considered a successful conclusion, and then the military plan formulated by the countries of the Nine-Power Conference and the plan for the distribution of interests after the war were on Lin Daxin's table.

Lin Daxin is not too surprised by the military plans of 9 countries, in terms of land, the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire currently has a full complement of 10 guards and 25 main armies, plus 45 garrisons and 5 independent cavalry divisions, the total strength of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire is as high as 7.2 million, Lin Daxin is fully confident that he can win land battles on multiple battlefields.

In the navy, the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, which has 4 aircraft carrier battle groups and 2 defense fleets, also definitely has the strength to defeat the second joint expeditionary fleet and the combined fleet of the United States and Japan Navy.

However, for the post-war benefit distribution plan formulated by 9 countries, Lin Daxin gritted his teeth with hatred, this is completely a plan to carve up the Chinese Empire, if it is really according to this plan, the Entente, the Allied Powers and the United States and Japan will divide the Chinese Empire, the situation of the Chinese Empire is much worse than that of the Qing Dynasty, and there is not much difference from the death of the country.

You countries are quite able to fantasize, the war has been fought so far, it is obvious that the Chinese Empire has a very big advantage, and as a result, these nine countries have begun to imagine how much they can carve up from the Chinese Empire after the war, are they a little too anxious? Could it be that with the accession of the United States and Japan, the balance of this war can really tip in their favor, Lin Daxin doesn't think so at all.

Lin Daxin said to Wu Peifu and Jiang Hui: "Now that the United States and Japan have joined the war, the enemy we face is stronger, but our Chinese Empire is also stronger than before, the strength of the army has reached 7.2 million, and the navy has added 9 aircraft carriers with huge displacement. Attack Canada. (To be continued.) )
