Chapter 226: The Will of the Great Powers

(Thank you for the bitter reward of book friend tea ++, and thank you for the monthly pass of book friend Lucifer X and the dragon for taking off!) )

"Marshal, Consul Zhu Erdian came to see me this afternoon and expressed the British government's concern about the situation in the Far East, and hoped that the Far East would be able to restore peace as much as possible!" In Wang Yuze's study, Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang reported to Wang Yuze.

"Humph! These Britons are good at what they do. When the Japanese attacked the Manchus last year, why didn't they stop it? Now that the Japanese are about to be defeated, they have jumped out! Wang Yuze said with some dissatisfaction.

"Commander, this is the consistent style of the British. They have always pursued a policy of balancing the mainland. This is as true in Europe as it is in Asia. When France dominated Europe, the British united European countries to besiege France. The Russians wanted to expand into the Far East, and the British supported the Japanese, even if the Japanese went to war against the Manchus and destroyed the peace in the Far East. Now that our rise is unstoppable, the British naturally want to use Japan as a pawn and support Japan to fight against us! Wu Tingfang said.

"The Japanese are really a good pawn. However, as long as the British do not do it directly, we are not afraid. If we can beat the Japanese this time, we will be able to beat them the next time! Wang Yuze said affirmatively. He has strong confidence that after the reunification of China, China will inevitably achieve tremendous development. Even in the first few years, it will be a little harder. However, once the market of hundreds of millions of people is cultivated, it will inevitably enable China to take off. And now that the military strength of western Sichuan has surpassed that of the entire Far East, it is not so easy for the Japanese to catch up with western Sichuan, even with the support of the great powers. Japan's weak economic strength is simply not capable of competing with Kawanishi.

Although Wang Yuze once had the intention of completely defeating Japan, this is somewhat unrealistic. The great powers will not sit idly by. Japan can be defeated, but it will never be destroyed. In the next few years, the great powers will definitely support Japan desperately. When the time comes. Kawanishi will also face tremendous pressure. However, once Kawanishi has a decisive force, it will inevitably push Japan into a place from which it will never recover!

"That's right, Sir. The British expressed their displeasure with the Nagasaki Massacre caused by the Navy. The Times, a well-known British newspaper, reported on this incident, which had a negative impact on our international image! Wu Tingfang said.

"Commander Deng of the Navy Fleet has already dealt with the relevant responsible persons. And that's just when the Navy was shelling. The shell just missed. Who told the Japanese that their houses are made of wood? If it's a brick structure. It wouldn't have caused such a big loss! As for the dissatisfaction of the British, where did their sympathy go when the Japanese committed the 'Lushun Massacre' last year? I asked people to contact the European side and publish the information about the massacre of the Japanese in Lushun last year in the newspapers. Let those so-called civilized people in Europe, the true face of the Japanese! Wang Yuze said with some atmosphere. Those Europeans, one by one pretending to be civilized people, did not have blood on their hands when he rose. Now it's strong. Bleached, I thought I had become a civilized person, but in fact it was just as ferocious, just dressed in a civilized coat. It's no different from a well-dressed beast.

Wu Tingfang smiled and nodded, he knew Wang Yuze's character, so naturally he would not take these things to heart. As for the statement that the Navy's shells missed, lie to the ghosts! Since last year's First Sino-Japanese War, the western Sichuan side has deliberately guided the trend of public opinion and announced many tragedies caused by the Japanese in Liaodong. Let the people in western Sichuan grit their teeth with hatred for Japan, and the army has long been interested in revenge, and now that there is such an opportunity, the militants in the army will certainly not let go of such an opportunity.

"Great. Since the Japanese have already lost, why are they still unwilling to surrender? This will also reduce their losses! Wu Tingfang said with some doubts. Now the navy of western Sichuan is wreaking havoc along the coast of Japan, inflicting huge losses on Japan every day. If peace had been negotiated a day earlier, Japan would no longer have been devastated by the Kawanishi Navy.

"Minister Wu. You are more familiar with Britain and the United States, but you don't know much about the Japanese. The Japanese are very paranoid. At the same time, they also know that the cost of losing this battle will be very severe. If they take the initiative to beg to surrender, we will definitely open their mouths and let them lose their crotch cloths. So, they are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for their army to win. Then they will be able to make peace with victory. In that case, we won't be able to make them pay much! Wang Yuze said.

"I see. Will our Army be able to withstand the attack of the Japanese Army? Wu Tingfang said with some concern.

"Of course, the Army is our strong point, and although the Japanese Army is also very powerful, it is still more than a step behind us. The Japanese were counting on the victory of the army and then promoting peace with victory, how could we possibly let them get their way? This time, I have to let Japan lose my wife and lose my army! Wang Yuze said. If the Japanese Army were to be defeated again, Japan would have no choice. When the time comes, he will have to bite off the flesh of the Japanese.

"I'm relieved. Dashuai, now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been destroyed, there are already voices among the people, hoping that Dashuai can ascend the throne as soon as possible. What does the big guy think? Wu Tingfang asked. The cabinet also has this intention. It's just that Wang Yuze has not expressed specific intentions, and everyone doesn't know what to do?

"Wait a minute! We will wait until Japan has been defeated and a peace treaty has been signed. In addition, the current Jingshi is too chaotic, wait until a qiē is stable and dìng down! Wang Yuze said.

Wu Tingfang nodded, and then said goodbye and left. With the fall of the Manchus, it was already a natural thing for western Sichuan to replace the Manchus and take over the central power. Once Wang Yuze ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will inevitably reward them with these important ministers. As a Chinese, who doesn't want to be a wife and a son? Therefore, everyone is looking forward to this day.

In the British Embassy in China, the British Minister to China, the British Minister to China, the British Minister to China, the French Minister to China, the Russian Minister to China, the Russian Minister to China, and the American Minister to China, Tian Chun, these four people gathered together again to discuss the current situation in the Far East. Although the war between China and Japan has not yet ended, Japan has already lost when they come. After the unification of China in western Sichuan, the rise has become unstoppable, but this will inevitably have a huge impact on the interests of various countries in the Far East. They have to be prepared to minimize the impact as much as possible.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkeys. Lord Ogner, the blockade of us by the yellow-skinned monkeys continues, and we can no longer get food, vegetables, and all kinds of necessities from outside. Those yellow-skinned monkeys also threatened us that if we didn't hand over the nobles of the Qing Kingdom, they would cut off the water supply as well! As soon as the French minister Tian Chun sat down, he immediately scolded.

After the western Sichuan invaded the Beijing division, some of the Manchu nobles who were friendly with various countries hid in Dongjiaomin Lane, and the countries forbade the western Sichuan army to enter it to search for these Manchu nobles, which made the western Sichuan side and other countries have a huge contradiction. At present, various means are being used to force countries to surrender.

"Cut off the water supply? These damn guys, do they want to kill us all with thirst and starvation? The British minister to China, O'Gner, also changed his face greatly. In terms of food, with the Legation's stockpiles, they were able to cope for a while. But if the water supply is cut off, they won't be able to hold out for a day.

"Otherwise, let's hand over these Qing nobles to them!" Russian Minister Cassiny said.

"No! Those Qing nobles have already applied to us for political refuge, and if we hand them over to the people of western Sichuan again, then we will lose our trust. This is a great loss to the reputation of all countries! Ogna refused.

"So what should we do? Can't resist them? The U.S. side has already planned to hand over these Qing nobles to the western Sichuan side. Now that Sichuan West has taken the leadership of China, there is no need for us to fight against Sichuan for the sake of these Qing nobles. Don't forget, all countries have a lot of investment in China, and if Sichuan West takes this opportunity to confiscate all of this, then we will lose a lot! U.S. Minister Tian Bei said.

"Damn, if they dare to do that, then we'll declare war on them!" French Minister Tsubaki jumped up. In recent years, France has invested in a lot of railways and mines in China. If it were confiscated, France would have suffered a great loss. As for the war with western Sichuan, if it were France alone, I am afraid that it might not be able to fight.

Eventually, after deliberations, they planned to hand over the Manchu nobility to the western Sichuan side in order to ease the tensions between the two sides.

"Gentlemen, the situation in the Far East has changed dramatically, and this is a great shock for all of us. A strong China is not in the interests of all our countries. It is time for us to take some measures to contain this powerful country! British Minister Ogna said. This is precisely the purpose of the envoys he has brought in today. Germany has always been friendly with Kawanishi, so German Minister Marcos was not among those invited.

"So what should we do? Is there a war with Kawanishi? Now the rise of western Sichuan is unstoppable. After they unified China, there was little power that could stop them. Even if our countries unite to start a war with western Sichuan, I'm afraid we will have to pay a huge price! This price is not something we can afford! U.S. Minister Tian Bei said with a frown. At present, the United States is still focusing on making money, and as for the expansion of force, it is not very interested in it for the time being.
