On the morning of May 25, 4620 A.D., the British Straits Settlements, the port, was already crowded. Countless Singaporean Chinese, all gathered here to welcome the arrival of the Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi. Almost everyone has a smile of joy on their face.

These Chinese, although they were oppressed by the British colonists in normal times, had a very difficult life. However, their yearning and expectation for the motherland have never changed. It's just that after the empire became stronger, they always looked forward to when they would be able to return to the embrace of the empire and no longer have to be oppressed by the British colonists.

It's just that the British Empire was in full swing at that time, and the empire had just risen, and it was obviously impossible to confront the British Empire. Therefore, the empire could only abandon Singapore, and abandon the Straits Settlements as a whole. Although, the Chinese in Singapore are a little unwilling to do this. However, they were able to understand the Empire's suffering. They knew that if the empire had enough strength, it would never let them suffer. Therefore, they chose to continue waiting. Fortunately, the empire also remembered them, and repeatedly asked the Governor-General of the Straits Settlements to treat the Chinese in the return colonies well. Faced with the demands of a powerful empire, the Governor's Office of the Straits Settlements naturally had to be careful. This made life much better for the Chinese in the Straits Settlements. At the very least, the British colonists no longer dared to treat them as if they were a mustard, killing them casually, and robbing them of their wealth.

This time, after the conflict broke out between the Chinese Empire and the British, the Chinese in Singapore were looking forward to it. I hope that the empire will not directly send troops to attack Singapore and recover it in one fell swoop. The Imperial Navy did not disappoint these Chinese, and the Imperial Navy annihilated the main fleet of the Royal Navy in one fell swoop in the decisive naval battle, and won the naval battle cleanly. In the ensuing negotiations, the British directly demanded the transfer of the Straits Settlements. Visible. The empire cares about these Chinese.

Now, the Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi went to Singapore to negotiate, and the Chinese who learned the news all flocked to the port to greet the Imperial Minister. They hope that after this negotiation, Singapore and the entire Straits Settlements will henceforth belong to China. In this way, they will no longer have to fear oppression by Western colonizers.

"Soon. We are about to become the people of **** again, and those foreign devils will no longer be able to bully us. A middle-aged man said excitedly. Although his clothes were patched, the expression on his face was proud.

"Yes! After being oppressed by those foreign devils for so many years, we have finally returned to the embrace of the empire. Another Chinese also said.

Almost all the Chinese are beaming.

"Brother Chen, you said that this time the British would agree to the conditions of the Empire. Transfer the entire Straits Settlements to the Reich? The British have been in decline for two years. But after all, they have been the world hegemon for so long, and their background is extremely profound! A gray-haired old man said with some concern. The British Empire ruled Singapore for two or three hundred years. The accumulation of prestige is very heavy, so that many Chinese have a sense of awe for the United Kingdom.

"Humph! Brother Li, you can rest assured. In this battle, the Imperial Navy annihilated the main force of the Royal Navy of the British Empire in one fell swoop. To put it bluntly, the British have been pulled down from the position of sea hegemon by the Empire. In the face of the demands now made by the Empire. They had no choice but to accept, to agree to the conditions of the Empire. An old man with a thin body but a very strong spirit said.

"Well, that's the truth. Those foreign devils. Whoever originally believed in the hard fist had the final say. Now that the Empire's fist is the largest, they naturally have to listen to the Empire. Another middle-aged man replied.

In Singapore, there are quite a few large Chinese families. However, in order to maintain the stability of the Straits Settlements, the British have always adopted a policy of oppression against these large Chinese families. This made them dissatisfied with the British for a long time. It's just that the British have guns in their hands and warships on the sea, so that the Chinese in Singapore dare not act rashly at all. Otherwise, once suppressed by the British, it would undoubtedly be the result of a river of blood, and now it is finally good, and the Empire will snatch the Straits Settlements from the British. It is foreseeable that good days will come soon. This naturally made the local Chinese very happy.

Unlike the elated faces of the local Chinese, the British officials in the Straits Settlements were grim-faced, as if someone had borrowed their money and not repaid it. The Foreign Minister of the Chinese Empire, Tang Shaoyi, went to Singapore, which forced the Governor of the Straits Settlements, Sir Kilima, to lead the high-ranking officials of the colonial government to meet him at the docks. After all, even at a very far point from the pier, you can even vaguely see the figure of the Chinese * warship. Now, the entire Straits Settlements have been surrounded by the Empire's army and navy from both land and sea directions. Naturally, these British-appointed colonial officials could not be stopped.

"Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys, it's like he's become the master of Singapore. When we get through this crisis, we won't let these guys go. Sir Kirima looked at the Chinese with elated faces, and was angry.

"Your Excellency, perhaps, we will soon have no chance to deal with these Chinese. I don't know how the Cabinet will place us. A lieutenant general officer said. His name was Dreridge, and he was the commander of the British Army in the Straits Settlements.

As the Chinese Empire grew stronger, and the Straits Settlements were on the lips of the Nakado Empire. Therefore, Britain has also strengthened its military deployment in the Straits Settlements. In addition to the Far Eastern Fleet, the army has three infantry divisions with a size of almost 40,000 men. Of course, this is not right, and against the Chinese Army, I am afraid that it will not even be enough to plug the gaps.

Sir Kirima's face suddenly became not very good-looking. He knew very well that this time in the face of the Chinese Empire's step-by-step approach, the Straits Settlements were estimated to be unable to hold on. And he, the governor of the Straits Settlements, when he returns to England, probably will not get a better placement than his current position. After all, the governor of Britain's important overseas colonies is also a relatively high official in Britain. And the relatively high official positions are often a radish and a pit, unless you are lucky and the relationship is hard enough, otherwise, don't want to get a good placement.

"Who knows what those guys do? For the sake of an Iranian kingdom, the Chinese empire was offended to death. Well, those guys have lost the main force of the Royal Navy. Not only did the Kingdom of Iran not be saved, but we all had to be put into it. Sir Kilima said hatefully.

Lieutenant General Dridge also had a wry smile on his face, for these soldiers who have served in the Far East all the year round, they are well aware of the strength of the Chinese army. So, after the Cabinet gave the order to deal with China, they knew that perhaps a catastrophe had begun. As expected, Britain really suffered a big loss because of it.

"Your Excellency General, has your placement been settled?" Sir Kilima asked.

Lieutenant General Deridge nodded: "If I really want to transfer the Straits Settlements and the Burma colonies to China this time, I may be transferred to India or Australia." ”

Sir Kirima immediately smiled bitterly, it was obvious that these two positions were not very good. Once the Straits Settlements and Burma colonies fell into the hands of the Chinese Empire, if they still wanted to continue their expansion. Then, the Indian colonies and the Australian colonies will bear the brunt. Therefore, after being dispatched to these places, it is completely a chore.

"No matter what, I will definitely try to find a way to transfer back to China this time. Only in this way can it be truly safe. Major General Dridge said.

Sir Kirima nodded in disappointment, and it was clear that he realized that he had to leave the Far East if he wanted to be safe. Otherwise, there is no safety guarantee for your life!

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the battleship 'Xuanyuan' of the Imperial Navy, carrying the Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi and his attachés, sailed into the port of Singapore. When the huge battleship like a hill appeared in front of everyone's eyes, it undoubtedly shocked everyone.

"Is that the most powerful battleship of the Empire? Sure enough, it's majestic and majestic! It's much more powerful than those foreign devils' warships. It's no wonder that the Empire was able to beat them to the ground in this battle. ”

The Chinese crowded in the port were all talking excitedly. There is no doubt that the appearance of the main battleship of the Imperial Navy is more like a shot in the arm for them, which makes them even more excited.

Similarly, the British were greatly shaken. Although, after the results of the naval battle came out, the British in the Straits Settlements knew the strength of the Chinese navy. However, when the battleship 'Xuanyuan' appeared in front of their eyes, they really knew how powerful the Chinese Navy really was. Until then, they had always believed that the Royal Navy was the most powerful navy in the world.

After the battleship 'Xuanyuan' docked, Tang Shaoyi, the Imperial Foreign Minister, walked down the gangway.

"Long live the Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! ”

The Chinese people shouted enthusiastically, as if this was the only way to express their joy and their eagerness to return to imperial rule.

Seeing the performance of the Chinese, Tang Shaoyi nodded with satisfaction. At least, after so many years, they still cherish their homeland.
