"Your Majesty, will our direct dispatch of troops into Burma to fight cause war between us and the British to break out, and in this case, won't all our previous efforts be in vain?" Prime Minister Li Decheng said with some concern. It was in order to avoid war with Britain that the Chinese Empire chose to compromise on the issue of Hong Kong. It's just that I didn't expect the British to attack Burma, which caught people off guard. However, it is also clear to everyone that there is no further way to back down on Burma, otherwise it will put the empire in a difficult position.

"This time it's the British who have hit their doorstep, and if we don't fight back, we will pay a bigger price later. In any case, we must control Burma, even if it is a war with the British. Long Yufei said. Burma is too important to occupy Burma, which can effectively defend the southwest of the empire, and at the same time pose a threat to India. Conversely, if the British occupied Burma, it would pose a threat to the empire. In this regard, there is no way back for the empire.

"Your Majesty, perhaps the British don't want a full-scale war with us. In that case, we have a chance. Foreign Minister Lin Zihao said. After all, if war breaks out, it will certainly have an impact on the empire, but it will also pose a threat to Britain. The Chinese Empire will definitely attack India directly at that time. Such a war will definitely break out, and for both countries, it will be a battle that will determine the fate of the future.

"You mean that we can confine the war to Burma. Fight a local war with the British? Long Yufei asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Our two countries don't even have to declare war on each other. In that case, it's just a conflict, not a war! Foreign Minister Lin Zihao said with a smile.

"Haha, this is a good solution, we and the British, no one declares war, just a fight in Burma. It is the strength that determines the ownership of Myanmar. This is in our best interest. General Niu Meng, Chief of the General Staff, said.

"Your Majesty, what about Thailand? Do we still need to do it to Thailand as originally planned? Lieutenant General Sun Hao, Minister of Operations, said.

"Thailand? Let's put it on for now. By the time we settle Myanmar, King Rama III should have made the right choice. Long Yufei said. If King Rama III of Thailand still doesn't know what to do by then. Then we will do it to Thailand. Although, with the current strength of the Chinese Empire, even if it fights Thailand and Britain at the same time, it can be supported. But. If there is a two-front war, the pressure on the Chinese* army will also be great. Besides, I don't know how much the British will invest in Burma. The Chinese* army must leave enough reserves and be fully prepared.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lieutenant General Sun Hao, Minister of Operations, said.

At this time, Major General Luo Hongtao, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, walked in.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Burmese side. The Burmese are running out of their way. King Mon Hang of Burma has made a formal request to our representative in Burma to help them fight the British. Major General Luo Hongtao said. The Chinese Empire and Burma. And diplomatic relations were not established. At present, the relations between the two countries are still relatively tense. Therefore, mutual communication can only be done through guò intelligence officers.

"Very well, in this case, we will be famous. Chief of Staff, quickly draw up a plan for the invasion of Burma, everyone will work hard tonight, and it is best to be able to come up with the plan tomorrow. In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will hold a press conference tomorrow to officially announce to the outside world that we will send troops to fight in Burma at the request of the Kingdom of Burma. Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" General Niu Meng, Chief of the General Staff, and Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs, both replied.

After that, Long Yufei and a cadre of ministers left the General Staff. The General Staff is destined to stay up all night tonight, and the ministers of the Cabinet will also have to hold an emergency meeting. After all, this time it will be against Britain in Burma, which is the world's number one power, and fighting a war with such a country is a matter of great importance, and if it fails, the consequences will be even more unimaginable. Therefore, in many ways, the empire has to think it through.

And Long Yufei went back to the palace to rest, the specific affairs are in charge of the people below, he, who is the emperor, does not have to bow down to everything, only needs to be responsible for the general direction. This not only gives the people below the opportunity to display their talents, but at the same time, they don't have to work too hard, and they will not be like those emperors in history who are diligent and love the people, and they will soon hang up.

Ministers of the General Staff and the Cabinet of Ministers are destined for a sleepless night. This time the big war involves all aspects. In addition, the time is urgent, and they have to come up with a plan as much as possible. Otherwise, once the British captured all of Burma, it would be too late.

Early the next morning, an auditorium of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire was crowded with journalists from all over the world, the Chinese Empire had become one of the world's great powers, and the West attached great importance to the Chinese Empire, and some important newspapers had sent reporters to China. In order to be able to quickly understand some of the situation of the Chinese Empire. Therefore, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire announced that there was important news to be announced, reporters from various countries flocked to fill the auditorium of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and everyone was speculating about what big moves the Chinese Empire would make this time. Many people believe that it should be the Chinese Empire that is going to take action against Thailand to the south. During this time, relations between the Chinese Empire and Thailand had become increasingly tense, and everyone could see that this was a precursor to the outbreak of war.

"Mr. Kevin, do you have any inside information? I wonder what the Chinese are going to announce this time? A tall blonde woman said to a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man is a correspondent for the British Times in China, and he has some connections in China, and he can often get exclusive news, which makes other colleagues very envious.

"Of course, Miss Lisa, if you'd like to have a drink with me tonight, I can tell you some news." Kevin said with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Kevin, it's a pleasure to have dinner with you." Lisa had a charming smile on her face, but in her heart, she had already begun to curse Kevin, the old pervert.

"According to my guess, the Chinese should want to do something to Thailand this time! I heard that some time ago, the Duke of Pakon of Thailand secretly came to China, but in the end he returned in vain. I guess the negotiations between the two countries broke down. During this period, Thailand has been engaged in an arms build-up war, which is obviously to guard against China. Kevin said.

Lisa nodded again and again, Duke Pacan to the Chinese Empire, the itinerary has been kept strictly secret, and the outside world does not know. From this point of view, this time the big move of the Chinese Empire may really be related to Thailand.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, walked in with a smile on his face, and the reporters suddenly became excited.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, is the Chinese Empire preparing to wage war against Thailand?"

"Thailand is an independent sovereign country, and the Chinese Empire's brazen invasion of Thailand is not afraid of having a bad impact on the international community?"

"Lord Lin, the Chinese living in Thailand have been oppressed by the Thai government in recent years, is the empire ready to defend the interests of those Chinese compatriots?"

Chinese and foreign reporters have raised their own questions. Everyone is very concerned about the next move of the Chinese Empire.

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment." Lin Zihao said.

The auditorium fell silent, and everyone knew that Lin Zihao had important news to announce.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you all know, on March 20, Britain brazenly launched a war against the Kingdom of Burma. The Chinese Empire has always maintained a high degree of concern about this matter. The British invasion of Burma will destroy the peace in Southeast Asia, and in this regard, the Empire hopes that the British will immediately stop the invasion of the Kingdom of Burma, otherwise, the Empire will not be sent to take the necessary measures to restore peace in Southeast Asia! Lin Zihao said.

"Wow!" The reporters from all over the world in the auditorium were completely shocked, they thought that the Chinese Empire was going to announce its action against Thailand, but they did not expect that the Chinese Empire would actually express its opinion on the situation in Myanmar this time. Could it be that the Chinese Empire is ready to fight the British Empire again? This is a big piece of news, enough to cause a sensation around the world. You must know that the British Empire is still the number one power in the world, while the Chinese Empire is an emerging power and the undisputed hegemon of the Far East. If there is any country that can challenge the hegemony of the British Empire, the Chinese Empire is undoubtedly well-deserved.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, is the Chinese Empire preparing to intervene in the war in Burma?"

"Your Excellency, is this a warning from the Chinese Empire to the British Empire? Will there be a war between the two countries? ”

The reporters asked their own questions, and the news was so exciting.

"Everyone, be quiet, there is another news for everyone!" Lin Zihao said.

Everyone stared at Lin Zihao, not knowing what else he was going to announce.

However, what puzzled everyone was that a middle-aged man with a somewhat short stature and a darker complexion stepped into the speaker's seat.

"Hello everyone, I am the special envoy of the Kingdom of Burma to the Chinese Empire, and on behalf of His Majesty the King of Burma and the government, I formally request the Chinese Empire to send troops into Burma to help Burma resist foreign enemies. I advise the British that their ambition to destroy Burma is impossible to realize, and it is better to stop it as soon as possible! The man, who claimed to be the Burmese envoy, said loudly.
