In fact, even if the British and the Germans negotiated peace separately and the Germans withdrew from the war, Ren Chao was not worried, because with the current strong national situation of the Chinese Empire, it would not be a problem to defeat Britain and the United States alone. However, Ren Chao doesn't care about having one more helper, and as far as the current shape is concerned, the only one who can help the Chinese Empire is Germany. As for the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it was average, not to mention countries such as the Ottoman Empire.

As for ceding some of the colonies in Central Africa and South Africa to Germany, it may sound a pity, but the second largest power among the Central Powers, and the first country to participate in the war, it was precisely because the Germans almost exhausted the vitality of Britain and France that the Chinese Empire was able to defeat France so easily. It can be said that Germany also played a crucial role in this world war. Therefore, even if the spoils were divided after the war, the Germans deserved some colonies as compensation.

Moreover, the current Chinese Empire has recovered Southeast Asia and other places, among which Vietnam and other countries have become vassals of the Chinese Empire, while Indonesia and Malaysia have been directly incorporated into the territory of the Chinese Empire. In addition, the Chinese Empire also occupied large territories in Australia, the Middle East, North Africa and other places, and even India has become a protectorate of the Chinese Empire. Although the Chinese Empire had a large population and a great appetite, it was not easy to completely digest these territories, so it was not a matter of ceding some parts of Africa to countries such as Germany and Austria-Hungary.

As for whether the Germans would become a threat to the status of the Chinese Empire like Britain at the beginning after occupying these colonies, Ren Chao was not worried at all. Because the colonial era is about to become history, the number of colonizations is no longer the main factor in determining whether a country is strong or not. Just like in history, after World War I, the United States replaced Britain as the new world hegemon, but at that time, the United States had only a handful of colonies, not even a fraction of Britain, but the United States was still much more powerful than Britain. Or maybe it's Germany. After the end of World War I, Germany was defeated, and even the few colonies it had were divided by European powers, and they still bore huge war reparations after the war, but the Germans rose strongly in just a dozen years and became a world power, even surpassing Britain and France as the victorious countries.

Therefore, in this era, the main factors to measure the strength of a country are its scientific and technological level, industrial base and economic strength. Naturally, there are some benefits to be gained by capturing some colonies. But it is no longer the main factor that determines the strength of a country. Today's Chinese Empire, with its scientific and technological level, industry and economy, has become the world's largest power, which means that the current Chinese Empire has become a well-deserved world hegemon. Not only that, but the Chinese Empire was vast, and it had a large number of subject states, a large population, and a huge potential for war, so even the whole of Africa was ceded to Germany. Nor could Germany threaten the hegemony of the Chinese Empire.

Ren Chao has the ambition to dominate the world, but he has never thought of dominating the world. In terms of the current strength of the Chinese Empire, in fact, it is completely possible to go back and eliminate Germany and Austria-Hungary after destroying Britain and the United States. Realize the situation of the Chinese Empire dominating the world, but Ren Chao does not intend to do this. Because whether it is for the entire human race or for the Huaxia Empire, it is not necessarily a good thing for Huaxia to dominate the world. Because only when there is competition can there be progress. Mencius once said that born in sorrow and died in peace. This sentence has been demonstrated for more than 2,000 years. It has long been proven to be a wise saying. Therefore, in Ren Chao's view, leaving a country like Germany that can pose some threats to the Chinese Empire is not necessarily a bad thing for the development of the Chinese Empire.

But for the British Ren Chao, there is no intention to be soft, although Ren Chao does not intend to kill it, but also to weaken its strength as much as possible. Because Britain, France and other countries have invaded China, bringing great suffering to the Chinese people, this revenge will not be avenged for the descendants of China. Now that France has been defeated, Russia not only has a large territory incorporated into the Chinese territory, but also established the Ural Kingdom with the support of Ren Chao, so Russia is divided. Now there is only one Britain left, and Ren Chao has already thought about how to deal with Britain after the defeat, and its overseas colonies will all be divided, not only that, but Britain will also be burdened with huge war reparations, and the former British Empire will completely disappear, be beaten back to its original shape, and become an insignificant projectile island country.

As for the United States, Ren Chao has no good impression of this country, and the Yankees have also invaded China in history. What's more, judging from the current shape, the only one in the world that can threaten the hegemony of the Chinese Empire is the United States, so Ren Chao will never allow such a country to exist. According to Ren Chao's plan, it is obviously unlikely that the Huaxia Empire wants to rule the United States directly, so it is a good choice to divide the United States.

"The first phase of the Panzhihua project has been completed, and the steel mill has begun to be put into operation."

"Up to now, we have emigrated 30 million people from the interior to the Siberian region, so the immigrants have been properly resettled~!"

Subsequently, the cabinet ministers reported some domestic situations, and it can be said that the current situation in the Chinese Empire is quite good. Although the war had some impact on the Chinese Empire to a greater or lesser extent, the war was not carried out in the Chinese Empire itself, and although the Chinese Empire had requisitioned more than 10 million troops, for the Chinese Empire with a large population, more than 10 million laborers were indeed not too much, so this impact was also very limited.

The meeting ended in such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The cabinet ministers got up and retired, and Ren Chao also stood up from the throne, stretched, and returned to the study of the Qianqing Palace under the escort of several guards.

At present, with the development of the times, Ren Chao has gradually delegated the power in his hands, and now there is no need to review the endless chapters all day long as before, and the days are much more leisurely than before, except for some particularly important things that need to be handled by Ren Chao personally, most of the things are handled by the cabinet, at most it is to report to Ren Chao.

Ren Chao returned to the study, sat on the chair, picked up a newspaper casually, and read it seriously. After all, it is the war years, and almost all the headlines on the front pages of major newspapers are reports about the war, and Ren Chao is much better informed about the war on the front line than these reporters, so Ren Chao rarely reads these war things when he reads the newspapers.
