Chapter 647: Raising a Dog

The miserable situation of the French is not something that Emperor Yang needs to care about, this country is to put it bluntly on William, he has put his son on the line for this war, and he has to give him a wanton goal, France is just suitable for this role.

As for the UK, this still needs to be cared for.

"Sir, welcome to China, speaking of which I am half English, when I was in London, I can be said to have a close relationship with the two princes of your country, Baron Rothschild, and Mr. Armstrong, how many old friends I remember vividly!" Emperor Yang said with a nostalgic look on his face while holding his wine glass.

If you are still half an Englishman, you will be counted as the worst scourge to Britain. Sir Grey thought to himself, but he also understood the reason why Yang Feng took the initiative to show goodwill, the war is over, a new era has begun, and the pattern of China's domination of the world as the only superpower has been formed, and the next most important thing for Yang Feng and his government is to maintain this situation.

At present, the only one capable of threatening China's superpower status in the future is Germany, although Germany is also in ruins, but the industrial strength of the Germans is still beyond the reach of Britain in its heyday by relying on the blood transfusion of countless colonies, and it can be said that Germany's re-emergence will not take long at all.

At this time, China and Germany were allies, and when the rising Germany found that their status was not enough to match their identity twenty years later, it was not difficult for China and Germany to become enemies, but before Germany's expansion touched China's sphere of influence, the first unlucky ones must be European countries, Spain, Italy, the Ottoman Empire, and Sweden with China's backing, and they would not be the first to face the pressure of German expansion.

The only countries that faced the German threat were Britain and France. Russia, and even their current ally Austria-Hungary, if they were to be ranked in terms of strength, France would be the first unlucky to be the first, and Britain would have to be the second unlucky, so Britain would also have to find a backer for itself, and this backer could only be China.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Victor and His Royal Highness George also miss the friendship of the past very much, although there were some unpleasant things between our two countries before, but the friendship with you in their hearts has never changed. Before I came, the two princes asked me to pay tribute to you, and when the peace talks in Beijing were over, they were ready to visit China again. Sir Grey said with a smile.

"Don't talk about the unpleasantness or anything, let the past pass, now we need to look forward, as for the two princes, I would like to extend a very welcome to them on behalf of my family, ah, yes. If they feel like they're on a long road, I can give them a newest long-range airliner, the latest product from Kunpeng Airlines, which can fly nearly 4,000 kilometers with 30 passengers. Even if it is enough to fly over the Atlantic. Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Your country's aviation technology is simply amazing!" Sir Grey made an exaggerated expression very cooperatively, and of course it was this amazing aviation technology that caused the deaths and injuries of hundreds of thousands of British civilians, and there was no need to say any more.

Yang Feng is now lacking an advertisement for him. Kunpeng Airlines' latest four-engine long-range airliner has been officially put into production, which is a good way to show his friendship with the British people, and by the way, to show off China's high status to Europe.

These hypocritical things are all over. Then it's time to get down to business, Britain can't keep what it should lose, but what it can keep must be kept.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how you think about the question of Ireland." Sir Grey asked respectfully.

"The Irish problem? That's your own problem, it's not anything to do with anyone else, it's nothing to do with China, it's nothing to do with any other country, it's your internal affair, and no one has the right to interfere, and of course as far as I'm concerned, I still hope that you and the Irish can resolve their differences peacefully. Yang Feng said casually.

With his statement, Sir Grey was relieved, although the Confederate Council had rejected the request of the Irish before, but this kind of matter is more effective than Yang Feng's personal guarantee, since he said that Ireland is the internal affairs of the United Kingdom and has nothing to do with any other country, then naturally other countries will not be allowed to interfere, in fact, at this time Germany is ready to mention in the peace talks to let Ireland stand up, it is obvious that at this time Britain must hug China's thigh, only in this way can we ensure that the situation of Ireland is avoided.

A pair of enemies who had theoretically not officially ended the war quickly turned into friends.

But for the amount of compensation, Yang Feng did not let up at all.

"I am not interested in the specific content of this kind of negotiation, and I will leave it to the negotiators to be responsible, after all, this kind of thing is not up to China alone, and we must take into account the opinions of our allies." Yang Feng said.

Sir Grey hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, in that case, can the British government apply for a loan from the People's Bank?" ”

"You should go to the Empire State Building and talk to the manager of the People's Bank of China, as the owner of this bank, I can assure you that the People's Bank is a complete commercial bank, and as long as there is a suitable mortgage, it can provide loans to anyone who qualifies, as long as it does not violate the law, as long as there is a suitable mortgage." Yang Feng said.

He is waiting for the British to come to the door to take out a loan, the British have been playing with loans for hundreds of years, and now it is their turn to be controlled by others with loans.

His goal was to raise Britain like the Americans raised Japan as a dog and watched China in Asia, and then to serve him as a watchdog against Germany in Europe, because the battle of Berlin and the death of Crown Prince Wilhelm made the hatred between Germany and Britain irresolvable. In Germany, at least 500,000 civilians have died in various forms of persecution by the US-British coalition forces, as for the looting of property, the burning of homes, the rape of wives and daughters, and so on, there are countless such things, and now Germany is strongly demanding the trial of a large number of British war criminals, in this case, Britain can only obediently act as a dog to avoid bearing the wrath of Germany.

Of course, a few war criminals must be tried, or I'm sorry for William's dead son, and even one or two will have to be hanged, but most of them can be sentenced to life imprisonment or something, and the Allied Council is currently preparing to hold a military tribunal in Gothenburg.

Of course, Sir Grey also understands that taking out a loan from the People's Bank is equivalent to stretching his neck to Yang Feng and letting him pinch him, but this is also the best way to show his loyalty, not to mention that if he really wants to compensate tens of billions, how can they have money except for loans?

And there is also the cost of rebuilding the United Kingdom, the cost of restoring the monetary order, at this time the pound is almost the same as waste paper, and it is necessary to restore the gold standard in order to restore the confidence of the people in the pound, if you want to restore the gold standard, you must have gold, and if you don't have gold, you have to have Huayuan, and then Britain must take currying favor with Yang Feng as the first task.

In this way, after Italy, Britain also decided to enter the arms of Emperor Yang, and the next behind-the-scenes transaction was completed, the peace talks between the Allied and Entente groups officially kicked off, and the beautiful Summer Palace became the focus of the whole world's attention.

And at this time, the distant Russian shape shì is becoming more and more nervous, although the tsar has announced that the State Duma will elect the prime minister, and the State Duma has also elected Stolypin's successor as quickly as possible, and then Nikolai signed the letter of appointment, but in fact, the new prime minister Goremykin does not have the ability to really control the country, he can't even control St. Petersburg.

The Socialist Workers' Party, led by Vladimir, used the armed forces they still had in their hands to set up another party headquarters in St. Petersburg, and then with the party headquarters as the center, they constantly attacked the Goremygin government on Guò radio every day, claiming that their peace talks in Beijing were traitorous acts, and calling on the Russian people to rise up and overthrow this traitorous government. And in fact they did the same, because all the factories in St. Petersburg were basically shut down, and a large number of workers and refugees were instigated by them to run outside the State Duma venue every day to make trouble, and there were even violent beatings of parliamentarians and shootouts with the policemen who maintained order.

Goremygin gritted his teeth at this, but there was nothing he could do with the Social Workers, because the other party's headquarters was protected by thousands of armed men, and unless he wanted another fierce battle in St. Petersburg, he could only pinch his nose and endure it.

This is the case in St. Petersburg, and the order in other parts of Russia has also collapsed, especially in Odessa, Tsaritsyn, Kazan and other cities where a large-scale mutiny took place, which have completely escaped from the government's control, and the investigation team of the War Department responsible for investigating the mutiny has been directly beaten out, and even the government agencies in these places have hung up trade union signs, and the original officials have been hanged if they ran away.

In the vast Russian countryside, the peasants' movement to kill the landlords and seize the grain and land under the organization of the Social Workers Party intensified, more and more local governments were taken over by the peasant associations, and the landlords who were also unwilling to be killed began to organize their own armed forces to fight, and the war between the two sides was spreading like a wildfire.

Although Goremykin also transferred a large number of troops from the front line that had been armistice to extinguish the fires everywhere, but unfortunately it was a drop in the bucket, and there were often cases of army rebellions and counterattacks, the only thing that had some effect was the Siberian Front led by Grand Duke Nicholas, although the number was small, but fortunately it was relatively united, and there was no rebellion, but the problem was that he could only control the shape east of Kazan, and a large number of rebel soldiers were blocked in Kazan and Simbirsk, and it was impossible for him to cross the Volga River.
