After the capture of Sir Timham Ratham, the Governor of the Straits Settlements, the British troops in Singapore laid down their arms. Subsequently, the Governor of the Straits Settlements, Sir Timham Rhiz, formally surrendered to China, causing the entire British army in the Straits Settlements to lay down their arms and enter the Chinese prisoner of war camps. China occupied the Straits Settlements without much effort.

In addition, the squadron's fighting in Burma and the French Indochina colonies also progressed very smoothly. Whether it is the British ** team or the French ** team, they have almost lost all the way, and they can't cause any obstruction to the Chinese ** team at all. Under such circumstances, there is no longer any doubt that the entire Southeast Asian region will fall into Chinese hands, it is only a matter of time.

Nanyang plays a very important role in China's strategic plan. Nanyang is rich in rice, rubber, oil and other resources, which are indispensable to China. In addition, there are 40 or 50 million natives in Nanyang, which is also a very large market. As long as China occupies Nanyang, if there is a large-scale migration to Nanyang, after a few decades, these places can be completely digested, which is very helpful to alleviate the population pressure in the country.

The fall of the Straits Settlements and the successive defeats of the colonies of Burma and French Indochina also caused great anger among the British and French nationals. They have organized demonstrations against China and their own governments, calling for tougher measures against China. Under such circumstances, the British and French governments had to speed up the formation of a joint fleet of British, French and Russian, assuring the people that by the end of the month. The Combined Fleet will go on an expedition to China. Take back the interests of all countries.

In China. The top brass of the empire also put forward different opinions on the way to deal with Nanyang after the war. The smoothness of the military operation in Nanyang exceeded everyone's expectations. There will be no more doubts about defeating the British and French armies in Nanyang and completely bringing Nanyang into the scope of imperial rule. At the same time, this also shows the weakness of the British and French armies, or the strength of the imperial army.

On the evening of April 0, inside Xinhua Palace. Wang Yuze convened several of the military's magnates, as well as the government's prime minister, foreign minister, and finance minister, to discuss some of the subsequent developments in the empire during the war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a month since the Japanese Navy was annihilated by the Navy. In this month, our army has achieved very great results. The navy has eliminated all hostile navies in the Far East, and the entire Far East and even the western Pacific region have completely become the sphere of influence of the empire. The army is also doing a very good job, and the Russian Far East is now completely occupied by us. In Eastern Siberia, a big war is also brewing. The Imperial ** team has the absolute upper hand, and as long as they win, they will be able to drive the Russian forces out of this area. In Central Asia, the imperial ** team also swept the Russian army, and no one could stop it. The British and French armies on the South Sea side were not opponents of the Empire at all, and it was only a matter of time before the South Seas were controlled by the Empire. The next war was mainly to completely defeat Russia in the north, land on Japan, completely solve this enemy, and the navy did its best to defeat the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia, and then defeat the United States in the eastern Pacific to ensure the interests of the empire. I have always had a lot of confidence in this war. And the table of the emperor ** team did not disappoint me. Here, on behalf of the entire empire, I would like to thank you all for what the empire has done! Wang Yuze said sincerely. Before the war began, he may have been a little worried that with China's current strength, it would go to war with five powers at once, which would put China under great pressure. But after the start of the war, there is no need to worry about these things, and the most important thing is to do everything possible to achieve the final victory. And now, whether it is the army, navy or air force, they all look very good, and if this development continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before the empire will be able to win the war. And if this battle is won, no country in the whole world will be able to stop China's development. China will once again return to the ranks of the world's leading powers.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" All were smiling. As the top leaders of the empire, only when the empire is strong, can they straighten their waists! Although the shape facing the empire is still relatively critical, on the whole, everything is developing in a favorable direction. As the emperor team continues to win, they are more and more confident in the victory of this war.

"Haha, rejoicing and rejoicing!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. He is not omnipotent, and he needs the support of a group of people. And building confidence for everyone is what he has to do. After China's decline for a long time, the Chinese people will always have a fear of the Western powers, and what Wang Yuze needs to do now is to eliminate this fear and restore everyone's self-confidence. Of course, this is not to make sure that kind of thing is restored

The blind self-confidence of the Celestial Empire, but after recognizing the shortcomings, was able to catch up and return to the ranks of the world's outstanding nations.

"Your Majesty, the military operations of the empire are very smooth, and the South Seas will soon be ours. A decisive battle in the north against the Russian army is also about to begin, and as long as they can achieve victory, then the Russians have nothing to worry about. Next, isn't it time for us to consider landing in Japan and increasing troops in Hawaii? Xiong Wu said. If the army can achieve a decisive victory in the East Siberian theater, it will be able to disintegrate the Russian army's military strength in the Far East in one fell swoop and completely drive the Russian army to the west. And landing in Japan, this is also imperative. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there can only be one strong country in the entire Far East, and Japan will either perish or become a lackey of China. As for the reinforcement of troops in Hawaii, it is preparing for the defeat of the United States. Although, across the Pacific Ocean, if China wants to completely destroy the United States, with its current strength, it is somewhat unrealistic. However, in this war, China must once again weaken the United States. Not to mention, in this war, China may need to spend billions of military spending, which is far more than the fiscal revenue, and must be compensated for from other places. The United States, as a wealthy man, must contribute a large part of this. Although the economy of the United States is very strong, its military strength is not strong. In terms of the navy, the West Coast Fleet is now only strong, but it is not unbeatable. As for the army, there is no need to worry, as long as the Chinese army lands 200,000 people, it will be enough to sweep the United States, at least the western part of the United States. In this way, it is not impossible to force the United States to sign a harsh armistice treaty. Before that, China would have to send a large number of troops to Hawaii. With the victory of the war against Russia, the troops of China's East China Military Region and the Central Plains Military Region can also be sent.

"I can prepare for the landing in Japan. The Second Army has already begun to recuperate, and when it is finished, it can first land in Japan and establish an advance base on the Japanese archipelago. As for the reinforcement of Hawaii, a group army can be formed from the East China Military Region and stationed in Hawaii. Once the Navy is victorious, it's time to attack the continental United States! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiong Wu. Xiong Wu nodded, and the General Staff could start making relevant preparations next.

"Lord Zhang, is the Navy ready? The combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia will soon arrive. This time, however, there were twenty-nine battleships, plus more than a dozen armored cruisers and other warships, a huge fleet of more than 100 ships. How much success the empire can achieve in this war is a great deal of naval demand. Therefore, in this battle, the navy must win, and at a relatively small cost! Wang Yuze said. Britain and France, separated from China by thousands of miles of oceans, can threaten China, only the navy, if the imperial navy can withstand the attack of the combined fleet composed of Britain, France and Russia, then Britain and France have no choice, if they do not want to continue to fight, they can only pinch their noses and admit China's leading position in the Far East and the Pacific region.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Imperial Navy is ready. The damaged ships of the home fleet will be able to enter service at the beginning of next month. The four 'Qin-class' battleships have all been put into service, and although the combined fleet of Britain, France, and Russia claims to have twenty-nine battleships, these are only old-fashioned battleships, and they cannot be compared with our new-style battleships at all. In addition, the submarine force is also ready, we have already established a submarine base in Subic Bay in the Philippines, two submarines have already been sent over, after the start of the war, the submarine force will first attack the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia, disrupting their formation. Then the Imperial fleet will fight in one fell swoop and take advantage of the chaos to establish an advantage! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said.

"Okay, that's it! The Imperial Navy is now equipped with more and more equipment, and in the war, it is necessary to give full play to the combat power of these equipment and strive for the greatest victory! Wang Yuze said with a smile. Submarines are a sharp weapon, and the Chinese Navy has taken a step ahead in the construction of submarines. The Beihai Shipyard has completed the construction of the first twelve submarines and, after the sea trials in Guò, has already entered service. The Admiralty has specially set up a submarine brigade to train and explore the tactics of submarines. Subic Bay in the Philippines is strategically located, and the establishment of a submarine base here can make the entire South China Sea threatened by China's submarine forces. The arrival of the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia this time will inevitably give them a big surprise. (To be continued.) )
