PS: The second update arrives, asking for subscriptions, monthly passes and recommended tickets!

"Oh God! Are the Chinese going to accede to Burma's request and send troops into Burma to fight? In this case, the war between the British Empire and the Chinese Empire will break out again! This will be a heavy impact for the whole world. Kevin, a reporter for The Times, exclaimed. The British Empire and the Chinese Empire are both powerful countries! Although the overall strength of the British Empire was stronger, if war broke out in Burma, the Chinese Empire would obviously have a great advantage. It is difficult to say who will emerge victorious in this war.

Reporters were asking whether the Chinese Empire would accede to Burma's request to send troops into Burma to fight. Because this will be directly related to whether war will break out between the Chinese Empire and the British Empire.

"Fellow journalists, on behalf of the Chinese Empire, I make an official announcement. The Chinese Empire would accede to the request of the Burmese Kingdom and send troops into Burma to help restore peace to the Burmese Kingdom. Lin Zihao was still smiling. However, what he said shocked everyone. The Chinese Empire was so neat that it said it was going to send troops into Burma to fight. Doesn't this show that the Chinese Empire is determined to fight the British Empire in Burma? War is already inevitable.

Below, I will answer a few questions from journalists. You can ask questions. Lin Zihao said.

"Your Excellency, I am Lisa, a reporter from the Seine Daily, may I ask if the Chinese Empire will declare war on the British Empire this time? Will there be a protracted war between the two countries? Lisa preemptively asked the first question.

"Miss Lisa, I can tell you very clearly. The Chinese Empire did not want to go to war with the British Empire, and we were only entering Burma at the invitation of the Kingdom of Burma. Restore peace in Myanmar only. If Britain can withdraw its troops from Burma, it will be very beneficial for both of us! Lin Zihao said.

"Your Excellency, I am Kevin, a correspondent for The Times. May I ask you, Your Excellency, if the British Empire refuses to withdraw its troops from Burma, does that mean that war will break out? Kevin asked.

"I've already said it. Whether war will break out or not depends on the British side. However, the Chinese Empire was determined to defend its interests! Lin Zihao said. His words were very tactful, though. But everybody can understand that. This time, a war between the Chinese Empire and the British Empire may not be avoided. I am afraid that the outcome of this war will have a direct bearing on the pattern of the world.

"Your Excellency, Chancellor. Was the Chinese Empire so confident that it would be able to challenge the British Empire? Kevin continued. But. Lin Zihao didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue. Obviously, Kevin is British and has a lot of confidence in the British Empire.

I refuse to answer this question. The next and last question! Lin Zihao said.

"Lord Lin, I'm Huang Min, a reporter from Imperial Japan, how many troops will the Empire send into Burma to fight?" A beautiful female reporter asked. After the founding of the Chinese Empire and the beginning of social reforms. The status of women has improved considerably. There are already many women who have undergone a new type of education and have taken up various positions in society. In big cities. Some enlightened people no longer think that this is a show of shame.

"This is a military secret. However, I can responsibly tell you that this time, the Chinese Empire will do its best to ensure peace in Burma! Lin Zihao said solemnly.

"Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, is Burma worthy of the Chinese Empire?" Other reporters continued to ask questions. However, Lin Zihao didn't plan to answer, and left the auditorium directly.

The reporters watched Lin Zihao leave, but they turned their attention to other staff members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping to learn more from them. There is no doubt that the news released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire today is too shocking. The whole world knows that the relationship between the Chinese Empire and the British Empire is very tense, and everyone is even speculating about when the war between these two powers will break out. However, no one expected that the war would come so quickly, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Some reporters are already thinking about how to write a report that is ready to be sent back to the agency. This news will definitely make the front page headlines of major newspapers, which will cause a sensation all over the world. Countless countries will turn their attention to the ongoing fighting in Myanmar. Originally, many countries were speculating that if Britain launched a war against Burma, what kind of action would the Chinese Empire take, and would it continue to wage war against Thailand as originally planned? But it is clear what kind of threat Burma would pose to the Chinese empire if it were to be controlled by the British.

Sir Frankham Bonham, the British Minister to China, has also been following the press conference of the Imperial Chinese Foreign Office. It's just that he, like most people, thinks that the Chinese Empire must have announced that it is going to take action against Thailand this time. After all, previous indications had already shown that the Chinese Empire was ready for war against Thailand. However, when the sent people returned to report that the Chinese Empire had officially announced that it would send troops into Burma to fight at the request of the Kingdom of Burma, Sir Bonham was utterly incredulous.

"How is this possible? The Chinese actually want to send troops to Myanmar? Do they want to be a direct enemy of the British Empire? Damn, immediately report this news to the Cabinet, and in addition, prepare the car, I am going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire! Sir Bonham roared. Originally, he thought that the Chinese Empire would suffer a dumb loss this time, and watched the British occupy Burma. And the Chinese Empire, at most, has only gotten Thailand into its hands, but now the Chinese Empire has temporarily let go of Thailand and is directly carried in Burma and the British Empire, which will have a far-reaching impact on the next plan of the British Empire! With the strength of the British Empire, there is no problem in destroying Burma. However, if it is against the Chinese Empire, it is different! In the East, the Chinese Empire had absolute military superiority.

The secretary of the legation hurriedly went to prepare for this qiē. In less than ten minutes, the carriage of the legation was speeding towards the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire. Sir Bonham, the British Minister to China, sat in the carriage with a gloomy face, and he was thinking of how to express the wrath of the British Empire to the Chinese Empire, and it would be best if the Chinese Empire could change its plans. But can the things that the Chinese Empire announced in front of journalists from all over the world be able to change?

Upon arrival at the Imperial Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sir Bonham met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Imperial Chinese Empire, Lin Zihao, under the guidance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Your Excellency, is your country planning to go to war against the British Empire? The British Empire does not understand what you have announced this morning, and will protest against it! The British Empire hopes that your country will retract the above resolution in the spirit of the relationship between the two countries! After seeing Lin Zihao, Sir Bonham immediately said loudly, as if he was complaining about the Chinese Empire.

"Your Excellency, the Empire has sent troops into Burma at the invitation of the Kingdom of Burma. If Britain doesn't want a war, it can withdraw its troops from Burma! The smile on Lin Zihao's face had disappeared, he had long expected that the British side would definitely react.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the British Empire is now waging a war against Burma, and the Chinese Empire is taking the opportunity to intervene, isn't this obviously competing with the British Empire?" Sir Bonham said angrily.

"Your Excellency, I can tell you very clearly that the Chinese Empire does not want Burma to be destroyed, and we will help Burma at any cost. If Britain does not want to fight, then withdraw its troops immediately. Otherwise, we'll only be able to fight one game in Burma! Lin Zihao said.

Sir Bonham frowned, he could hear the resolute attitude of the Chinese Empire from Lin Zihao's words, and in addition, he also grasped the point that the Chinese Empire intended to limit the war to Burma. He knew that the Chinese Empire did not want to expand the scale of the war, but agreed, didn't the British Empire think the same way?

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, is war really inevitable?" Sir Bonham asked.

Lin Zihao shook his head, and then said: "Unless Britain withdraws its troops from Burma, war is inevitable!" ”

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, is the Chinese Empire so confident that it will definitely defeat us in Burma?" Sir Bonham asked. You must know that Burma is not rich, even if the Chinese Empire defeated Britain in Burma, the benefits obtained may not be compared with the consumption of the war, which is completely thankless!

"Your Excellency, we have confidence in the army of the Empire, and the final victory will definitely be ours!" Lin Zihao said firmly.

"Well, in that case, then I don't have anything more to say." Sir Bonham stood up and took his leave.

Shortly after Sir Bonham's departure, Fabio, the French Minister to China, and Casimiro, the Minister of the Kingdom of Spain to China, joined forces. The two of them also came for the statement made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire this morning. A secret alliance treaty was signed between the two countries and the Chinese Empire, which stipulated that if war broke out between one side and the British, the other two sides would unconditionally support it. Of course, there is also a premise for this, that is, the mainland is attacked by the British. This time, the Chinese Empire will break out into war with Britain in Burma, which is beyond the expectations of all countries. France and the Kingdom of Spain, however, were happy to see war break out. In this case, Britain will inevitably focus on the Far East, and the pressure on both countries will be much less.
