On April 4, 1845, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, a magnificent carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After the carriage door opened, Sir Bonham, wearing a black top hat and holding a cane, stepped out of the carriage gracefully. Then, a middle-aged man with a little short stature and slightly dark skin also stepped out of the carriage. This middle-aged man is none other than Myanmar's envoy to the Chinese Empire, U Aung Sheng. It's just that these two people are actually getting together today, which is really surprising. Isn't Britain invading Burma, and the Burmese envoy is asking China for help?

"Good morning, Mr. Secretary, I have to see His Excellency the Foreign Secretary, with whom I have important matters to discuss!" Sir Bonham was still polite. Especially today, it seems very kind.

"Okay, Your Excellency, please wait a moment, I will report to Lord Lin immediately." said the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Ten minutes later, Sir Bonham and Wu Weng Seng walked into the office of Lin Zihao, the foreign secretary of the Chinese Empire. Seeing that these two people actually came together, Lin Zihao couldn't help frowning. He knew very well what was happening on the battlefield in Burma, and the General Staff had already informed the Cabinet. The British had already destroyed Burma, or rather, established their rule in Burma. Trusting the Burmese king Min Dong is simply a puppet of the British. However, it now appears that the British thought they had won.

"Good morning, Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, it is a great pleasure to meet you!" Sir Bonham said with a smile.

"Good morning, Lord Lin!" Wu Weng Sheng seemed a little lacking in momentum. Some cringe. After all, this time it was Myanmar who backtracked, this kind of behavior. It was enough to stimulate the Chinese Empire. When the time comes, if China takes out its anger on Myanmar, Myanmar simply cannot afford it.

"You two, please take a seat!" Lin Zihao said. Now, he had almost guessed the intention of these two people.

A few people sat down in the reception room in the office, and the secretary asked for coffee. After a few pleasantries, we got to the point.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, I would like to see what we are here for. You should be clear. Sir Bonham said.

"Your Excellency, I don't quite understand what you mean!" Foreign Minister Lin Zihao pretended to be confused.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, we think. Can the war in Myanmar come to an end? Our army has conquered Mandalay, and Mon Hang is no longer the king of Burma, the trusted king Min Dong. It has been declared that the assistance of the Chinese Empire is not needed. And demanded that the Chinese * army withdraw from Burma. Therefore, we hope that the Chinese Empire will follow the wishes of the Kingdom of Burma and avoid the expansion of the war! Sir Bonham said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. Burma is now in the hands of King Min Dong. His Majesty the King has sent an official note to the Chinese side, hoping that the Chinese Empire will no longer interfere in the internal affairs of Burma. Therefore, I implore the Chinese* troops to withdraw from Burma. Myanmar envoy U Aung Seng also said. Originally, he was asking for help from the Chinese Empire, but now Burma has entered the period of Min Dong's rule. He immediately fell to Mindong. After all, his is all in Myanmar. He had to think about them. Otherwise, his family would definitely be uprooted by Mindong.

Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, suddenly turned cold. The atmosphere of the whole office seems to freeze all at once. Sir Bonham and Burma's envoy U On Seng seemed to be under great pressure. In particular, Myanmar's special envoy Wu Weng Sheng seemed to be pressed by a mountain, and he was out of breath. The Chinese Empire, as a world power, and Lin Zihao, as the foreign minister of this empire, are already important ministers of the empire, and the momentum cultivated for a long time is simply not something that these envoys of small countries can face.

"Your Excellency, are you playing tricks on us?" Lin Zihao's voice was cold.

"No, no, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, we absolutely did not mean that!" Burmese envoy U Ong Seng couldn't help but have beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Humph! Aren't you afraid of angering the empire by your actions like this? When the time comes, will you be able to bear the wrath of the Empire? Lin Zihao's voice was very loud, and this behavior of the Burmese really annoyed him. Not only did he think so, but even the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Long Yufei, also thought so. Now the Chinese* army has landed in Burma and fought with the British, killing and wounding thousands of people. How is it possible to let the Chinese* army withdraw from Myanmar at this time?

Burmese envoy Wu Weng Sheng was frightened and didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Sir Bonham, the British minister to China, for help.

"Ahem! Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, wouldn't it be nice to withdraw our troops from Burma now? At the very least, it would save the war from going on. This is very beneficial for both of our countries! Sir Bonham said.

"Humph! So why don't you Britain withdraw your troops from Burma? Lin Zihao asked? If the Chinese* army retreats from Burma, won't the British monopolize Burma? Aren't all the costs that China has paid for this war in vain?

"Your Excellency, Burma is now extinct, the British have taken control of Burma, and the new king of Burma is also pro-British. Under such circumstances, is it necessary for the war to continue? Sir Bonham asked. He looked like he thought Britain had the upper hand, which made people very unhappy. However, even the British destroyed Burma and supported an obedient puppet. However, if the Chinese* troops did not withdraw from Burma for a single day, the British would not be able to occupy Burma in peace.

"Your Excellency, the king of Burma whom you support is not recognized by the empire at all! What kind of face does a man who killed his brother and betray his country to seek glory have to succeed him as the king of Burma? The empire would never recognize such a man as the king of Burma. Lin Zihao said solemnly. The Chinese Empire would certainly not recognize Min Dong, who was nothing more than a puppet of the British, completely under the control of the British. If the Chinese Empire really withdrew its troops from Burma, wouldn't all the previous investment be wasted? Unless the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Long Yufei, and a group of ministers were caught in the door, otherwise, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, Myinton Thong has become the rightful king of the Kingdom of Burma. If the Chinese* army continues to stay in Burma, it will be an invasion of Burma? Well, when Burma has become a protectorate of the British Empire, this behavior of the Chinese Empire is a provocation against the British Empire, which will provoke a war between our two countries! Sir Bonham, the British minister to China, threatened.

"Haha! War? Your Excellency, may I ask what we are going on now, if not a war, then what is it? We have wiped out thousands of your troops in the Burma landings! I believe that we will destroy more British* troops in future wars! Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, said with a laugh. In the face of the threat of the British, he did not pay any attention to it. Neither the Chinese Empire nor Britain was willing to provoke a full-scale war. At most, the two sides are engaged in a local war in Burma. The Chinese Empire will not be afraid of this! Moreover, Lin Zihao believes that in this war, the army of the Chinese Empire will not fail!

"Your Excellency, you are provoking the British Empire! You will soon see that the Chinese Empire will pay the price for your actions today! I advise you, sir, that it is better to think it through. Otherwise, the consequences are simply not something you can afford! Sir Bonham, the British Minister to China, roared!

"Your Excellency, I have made it very clear! Fight if you want! The Chinese Empire is fearless! Lin Zihao's face was resolute!

The British Minister to China, Sir Bonham, left the Imperial Chinese Foreign Office in a fit of rage, followed by the Burmese envoy to China, U Ong Seng. Sir Bonham could be angry, but Wu Weng Sheng didn't dare. The Chinese Empire did not dare to do anything to Sir Wen Xian, but it could easily take Wu Wengsheng's life. After all, there were no diplomatic relations between the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Burma.

The Chinese Empire did not stop its military operations in Burma because of the change of Burmese king, but further accelerated the mobilization of troops. In addition to the 14th Infantry Corps, which has already landed in Burma, the 7th Infantry Corps is also about to land in Burma. In addition, the Army's 15th Infantry Corps, 2nd Infantry Corps and 8th Infantry Corps will also be sent to the Burma battlefield, and by then, the combat units invested by the Chinese* army in Burma will reach 5 infantry corps plus 2 marine brigades, with a total strength of about 180,000 troops. In terms of numbers, it is not much less than the first batch of Anglo-Indian troops to enter Burma. From the point of view of the strength of the army, the combat power of the Chinese* army far exceeds that of the British and Indian armies. Of course, India and Burma are adjacent to each other, and the British and Indian armies can continue to sell money to Burma, while the Chinese* army can only be transported by sea. Those deep mountains and old forests on the Sino-Burmese border are simply not capable of marching in large troops. This greatly restricted the Chinese Empire's ability to project troops on the battlefield and control Burma.

However, the cabinet of the Chinese Empire has already begun to formulate a plan, and after defeating the British and completely controlling Burma, the Chinese Empire will use a large number of laborers to build a railway and a number of roads between Yunnan Province and Burma of the Chinese Empire, completely changing the status quo of inconvenient transportation. In this way, the Chinese Empire would be able to strengthen its control over Burma on the one hand, and posed the greatest threat to British India on the other. It will also be much easier to attack India in the future! (To be continued......)
