"Damn the yellow-skinned monkeys, don't they know they're fighting the whole world on their own? They dare to be so arrogant, they just don't take us seriously! U.S. Secretary of State Sergeate Hughes and Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby got into the car and immediately burst into scolding. The smile on his face has long since disappeared cleanly.

"The Chinese seem to have a sense of fearlessness. Do they really think they can eat us? It's too arrogant! Edwin Denby also said.

"Let's go, let's go and report to His Excellency the President. In any case, in this meeting, we must contain the Chinese. Hughes said with great certainty.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Edwin Denby nodded.

The car of US Secretary of State Hughes left the Imperial Chinese Embassy in the United States and drove directly to the White House. President Harding is still waiting for the outcome of their trial.

"Your Excellency, the attitude of the Chinese is very tough, unexpectedly tough. Whether it was stopping the construction of military facilities on those islands in the Pacific Ocean or limiting naval armaments, their reaction was fierce. Hughes said.

President Harding nodded, and the smile on his face disappeared: "Isn't this exactly what we expected?" The Chinese are not fools, they will not know that it is not good for them, they will still agree. What's more, the current Chinese Empire is already very strong. It is no longer something that the great powers can suppress at will. However, this time is the only chance for us. It is necessary to successfully contain the Chinese Empire. Otherwise, the interests of all our countries will be seriously affected. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Hughes and Edwin Denby nodded their heads.

"Leave the Chinese alone, the meeting will start soon." We continue to liaise with the UK, France, Japan and Italy to make sure we get to the same page. That's the only way. Only then can we continue to suppress the Chinese. President Harding said.

"Yes, Your Excellency. We will do our best to make sure that all countries are aligned with us. Hughes nodded.

The Americans tried their best to suppress China at this meeting, and the Chinese delegation basically figured out the intentions of these foreign devils after this meeting. As a result, Imperial Prime Minister Yang Du and others sent a telegram to China at the embassy, informing Emperor Wu Haoxuan of what they had seen and heard during their trip to the United States. As well as the issue of distribution.

When the telegram reached the hands of Emperor Wu Haoxuan, it was already late at night in Yanjing time. However, Wu Haoxuan has not rested yet. After reading the telegram, Wu Haoxuan also fell into deep thought.

"It seems that the rapid development of the empire during this period has aroused the vigilance of the Americans. That's why they did everything they could to contain the empire's development so that the Japanese could close the gap between them and us. And then in the future war, the empire will be severely damaged in one fell swoop. Or even defeat the Empire. Wu Haoxuan thought secretly.

He clearly remembered that in another time and space, the Washington Conference was the result of the Americans trying to contain Japan and at the same time gain the same status as Britain, the hegemon on the sea. But now, it is completely different, and it has become a conference to contain the Chinese Empire. Wu Haoxuan didn't know if he should be proud of it. After all, it was all because of him that this change happened. China in another time and space. It's just fish and meat to be slaughtered by the great powers. But now, everything is different.

"Both the Americans and the British hoped that the Reich would abandon the 'Pangea-class' battleships. However, it is hoped that the construction of Japan's 'Yamato-class' battleships will continue to begin, so that in the future, the Japanese can rely on the powerful 'Yamato-class' battleships to defeat the empire. But, would I be so stupid? The 'Pangu-class' battleships were nothing more than a front, a pawn to be used in this Washington meeting to bargain with the Great Powers. Even if the Japanese started to build the 'Yamato-class' battleships, it would have nothing to do with the Empire. According to the construction period of the 'Yamato class'. It is expected that it will be three years before it will be able to enter service. As for the Amagi-class battlecruisers, they need to be further back. If the Reich was able to defeat Japan before the Yamato-class battleships were commissioned, then the four unfinished Yamato-class battleships would seem to be in the Empire's pocket. The Empire could well have financed the continued construction of four battleships. Then he joined the Imperial Navy for service. In this case, the Empire would have four of the most powerful battleships in the world. As for the four 'Amagi-class' battle cruisers, because the construction period is even later, it is likely that the construction of the hull will not be completed by then. It is possible to transform it into the hull of an aircraft carrier of the Reich. And it is an armored aircraft carrier with heavy armor, which has a stronger defense and a stronger ability to resist strikes in naval battles. Wu Haoxuan muttered.

Wu Haoxuan had already planned to launch a war against Japan two years later and defeated Japan in one fell swoop. At that time, there will be a great opportunity for the empire to defeat Japan, which should not be missed. In addition, the construction schedule of the 'Yamato-class' battleships and the 'Amagi-class' battleships forced the empire to start ahead of schedule. If the Japanese Navy had been equipped with these battleships and battlecruisers, it would not have been so easy for the Reich to defeat Japan.

The empire is now much stronger than it was at the beginning of World War I. At that time, if the empire wanted to destroy Japan, it might have been difficult. But now, if the empire were to destroy Japan, it would undoubtedly be extremely easy. What really worries us is probably the intervention of the Western powers. Over the years, the empire has been booming. Japan's development was not only limited to stagnation, but it also depleted the country's vitality due to its reckless military force. It can be said that if the empire defeats Japan again this time, then Japan will be completely finished.

It is precisely because of these plans that Wu Haoxuan did not pay much attention to this Washington meeting. Allowing the Western powers to suppress the empire, as long as the empire settles Japan, the entire Far East and the western Pacific region will be under the control of the empire.

Wu Haoxuan called back the imperial delegation in the United States, telling them that there was no need to worry about the suppression of the empire by the Western powers. Because it's inevitable. The suppression of the Western powers could not curb the development of the empire. On the contrary, it will also be the driving force for the development of the empire.

The current empire is much more powerful than the other plane. It is no longer possible for the Western powers to live in the fate of the empire.

As the days passed, the time for the Washington Conference had arrived. Prior to the official start of the meeting, several informal meetings were held in various countries. In the informals, the theme of the meeting was established. For example, the two major topics on the agenda of this meeting were arms limitation and the other was the Far East and the Pacific.

In fact, the Washington Conference was essentially a continuation of the Paris Peace Conference in 4617 (19) of the Yellow Emperor Era, because although the Paris Peace Conference temporarily adjusted the relations between the imperialist countries in the West, their contradictions in East Asia and the Pacific were still very acute, and the contradictions between China and the United States were particularly intense. The purpose of the Washington Conference was to resolve the conflict of naval power and interests in the Far East and the Pacific, which had not been resolved by the Treaty of Versailles, and to improve the imperialist peace system after the First World War.

The Versailles system established by the Paris Peace Conference temporarily adjusted the relations between the victorious imperialist powers in the West. But in the Far East and the Pacific, the contradictions between them are still acute. China took advantage of the favorable conditions during the First World War to actively expand its influence in the region. On the one hand, the United States was dissatisfied with the results of the Paris Peace Conference, and on the other hand, it was uneasy about China's expansion and was eager to contain China's expansion, which led to the rapid development of Sino-US contradictions. At the same time, the competition among the great powers has also led to the intensification of the arms race among the navies of various countries. Against this backdrop, the conference was convened at the initiative of US President Warren Gameliel Harding.

The meeting had two main topics, one on the limitation of naval armaments, and the other on the Far East and the Pacific. Among them, the issue of limiting naval armaments is the most important.

On November 12, 4619 (21) of the Yellow Emperor Era, representatives from the United States, Britain, China, France, Italy, Japan and other countries gathered at the Independence Memorial Hall in Washington, USA, and held the Washington Conference. In order to create a peaceful atmosphere, the venue was decorated with palm fronds and a U-shaped conference table covered with a green tablecloth. At 10:30 a.m., after all the delegates from various countries were seated, the host, US President Harding, stepped onto the rostrum and began to deliver an opening speech: "We hope to establish a good order and restore peace in the whole world, but the ongoing arms race among various countries and the increasingly fierce conflicts of interests in the Far East and the Pacific region have seriously affected world peace and stability. As one of the world's most important powers, the United States hopes that all countries will cherish the present peace and take effective measures to safeguard world peace. Let peace come to the world forever and war far away from human ......"

US President Harding's opening speech completely portrayed him and the United States as defenders of world peace, much to the displeasure of the leaders of several other major powers. After all, the struggle of the United States for world hegemony is well known. This makes Britain, the current world hegemon, very dissatisfied. Other countries also have ambitions for world hegemony. For everyone's behavior, it is naturally very unpleasant. (To be continued.) )
