The Japanese delegation left its seats angrily and left the meeting hall directly, and except for the representatives of Britain and the United States, the representatives of the rest of the countries obviously did not expect such a situation, and they were all dumbfounded.

"Little Japan, what's going on? I actually walked out of the meeting directly. Imperial Prime Minister Yang Du was a little surprised. After all, the last killer feature of the Imperial delegation is also to withdraw from the meeting! Now, Little Japan has used this trick first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stay and discuss something." U.S. Secretary of State Hughes and Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby immediately chased after them. It looks like he wants to save the Japanese representative.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Chinese delegation, you are now satisfied, and you have forced the Japanese delegates away." British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour said.

"Humph! Your Excellency, don't be bloody, it's clear that the Japanese themselves withdrew from the meeting. The empire is nothing more than making demands that are in the interests of the empire. Tang Shaoyi retorted.

Obviously, the British wanted to pin the basin on China's head for forcing away the Japanese representatives. In fact, it was clear that the Japanese wanted to keep their warships, so they withdrew from the meeting. Otherwise, according to the plan proposed by the Americans, only 300,000 tons were given to them, and the Japanese 'Yamato-class' battleships would not have been able to keep it at all. In other words, after the construction of the "Yamato-class" battleship, at most only one "Hiei" battlecruiser could be retained. The rest of the Kii-class battleships and Amagi-class battlecruisers could only be abandoned. In this case, if the Japanese wanted to fight against the Chinese Empire, it would be impossible at all. And now, the Japanese have withdrawn from the conference, and the development of their navy, naturally, is no longer restricted.

It didn't take long. It didn't take long for Secretary of State Hughes and Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby to return. The Japanese representatives were nowhere to be seen, and it is clear that their retention had no effect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to tell you the bad news that the representative of Japan has decided to withdraw from this meeting. They had already made their way to the train station to get a train out of Washington. They traveled to San Francisco and then left the United States on their warship and returned to Japan. This is undoubtedly a great setback for this meeting. We hope that this will not happen again. Otherwise, the United States will be seen as a joke by the whole world. And this, naturally, will also cause the anger of the United States. The culprit, the United States will naturally not let go. Hughes said angrily.

Almost everyone understands that the culprit that Hughes is referring to is the Chinese delegation. Everyone else thinks too. It was precisely because the Chinese delegation was pressing forward step by step that the Japanese delegation had no choice but to leave the meeting in anger.

However, the Chinese delegation felt very wronged, and they knew very well that there must be a conspiracy in this. Perhaps even the withdrawal of the Japanese from the conference was instigated by certain countries, and its main purpose was to do so. It was to be able to let the Chinese empire fall into their trap.

"It seems that tomorrow outside the door of our embassy. There will be a lot more protesters. The embassy has to be on guard. Marshal Shi Tianhan, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, said with a smile.

"Haha, Your Excellency Marshal, this is originally a lice on the monk's head, an obvious thing!" Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said with a smile.

Because the Japanese representative withdrew from the meeting in the middle of the meeting, it is obvious that today's meeting cannot continue. Only a halfway meeting can be adjourned.

"Two, the more I think about it, the more suspicious I become, the Japanese withdrew from the meeting, and it was clearly arranged by the Americans and the British. In doing so, they are suspicious of placing the charge of bullying the weak on our heads. Another one. After Japan withdrew from the conference, it was obvious that they would no longer be limited by the conference, and they could build as many warships as they wanted, as long as their financial resources could afford it. And the Americans also stated that such a thing happened at the meeting, which has made them very faceless. If any more country withdraws from the conference, it will make the United States a joke for the whole world, and this will make the Americans very dissatisfied, and even retaliate violently. After returning to the embassy, the Imperial Prime Minister said.

"Well, this is simply a trap for the Empire. How do we choose? Do you want to tell His Majesty the Emperor? Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said.

"Send a telegram to His Majesty the Emperor. Also, ask someone from the embassy to check if the Japanese really left. Marshal Shi Tianhan also said.

Subsequently, the delegation sent a telegram to China, reporting everything that had happened at the peace conference and some of their speculations to Emperor Wu Haoxuan. As for what to do next, it is undoubtedly up to His Majesty the Emperor, who is far away in China, to decide.

Soon, there was news from the embassy, and through the information they found, the Japanese delegation had indeed left Washington by train.

Emperor Wu Haoxuan received the telegram from the delegation in the afternoon. The Japanese actually withdrew from the conference first, and let the Americans and the British take the opportunity to put on the head of the empire. This was undoubtedly beyond his expectations. However, the sinister intentions of those foreign devils can be easily guessed.

"It seems that the Americans and the British really did everything to contain the empire. They asked the Japanese to withdraw from the conference, which clearly allowed the Japanese to develop their military strength without any scruples! Fortunately, the empire has already made a decision to start a war against Japan in two years' time, and to settle this old enemy once and for all. And this will inevitably make the plans of Britain and the United States and other countries completely fail. I'd like to see how the Americans and the British will react when the Empire declares war on the United States. Wu Haoxuan said secretly.

"Send them a telegram to the prime minister, tell them. If Britain and the United States agree to raise the Empire's quota to 500,000 tons, and agree to compensate the Empire in other respects, then we will agree to abandon the Pangea-class battleships. Wu Haoxuan commanded. The Pangu-class battleships were originally used for bargaining, and now is the right time to use them. What's more, if the time drags on for a longer and longer time, the more likely it is to be exposed.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Hu, the head of the guard, nodded.

After receiving Wu Haoxuan's telegram, Yang Du, the imperial prime minister in the United States, and others also knew what to do.

Before, Marshal Shi Tianhan also jokingly said that there will be many Americans outside the embassy tomorrow to protest, but this is completely underestimating these Americans. In the afternoon of the same day, the news that the Japanese delegation had been forced to withdraw from the meeting by the Chinese delegation had already spread to the entire United States. Countless 'angry' Americans gathered outside the Imperial Embassy to protest. They chanted slogans of protest and waved slogans and flags in their hands, completely treating the Empire as a heinous and evil state.

I have to admit that the American and British tried to put on the head of the empire and succeeded. At the very least, the vast majority of Americans who do not know the truth have a deeper dislike for the Empire.

However, if the Americans want to use this method to make the empire compromise and back down, they will be underestimating the empire.

That evening, U.S. Secretary of State Hughes and British Prime Minister David Lloyd George went to the Imperial Embassy for secret talks with the Reich.

"Your Excellency Yang Du, the representative of Japan has angrily withdrawn from this meeting. In this matter, the Chinese representative has a great responsibility. "As soon as they met, Hughes directly blamed the Empire.

"Your Excellency, I believe it is very clear to everyone for what reasons the Japanese withdrew from the meeting. Therefore, there is no need to put on the head of the empire. If the United States does this again, it will probably force the empire to withdraw from the conference. Imperial Prime Minister Yang Du said.

Huston's face changed at the moment, and if China also withdrew from the meeting, then there was really no need for the meeting to continue. And the United States will undoubtedly become the laughing stock of the whole world.

"Your Excellency Yang Du, have you thought it through? If you do that, you are truly an enemy of the United States. Hughes said angrily.

"Whatever choice the Chinese Empire makes, it is for our benefit. No other country should try to interfere with us, let alone pose a threat to the empire. The current empire is no longer afraid of any threat. Yang Du responded-for-tat.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became solidified.

"Both of you, both of you are discouraged, our meeting this time is mainly to solve the problem. Quarreling will not help solve the problem. The Japanese delegation has already left, so there is no need for us to hold on to it. British Prime Minister David Lloyd George hurriedly played a round. Otherwise, I am afraid that this meeting will really be out of control.

"Humph!" Theseus snorted coldly, and had to stop dwelling on the issue. In fact, he is also doing this to find a step for himself.

"Your Excellency Yang Du, I don't know how you have considered the plan you proposed before?" Pangu-class battleships, are you willing to cancel it? Our N3-class battleships have already decided to cancel. The United States will also stop the construction of the 'South Dakota-class' battleships. These are all efforts for world peace. David Lloyd George asked.

"Japan's withdrawal from the Peace Conference undoubtedly indicates that Japan will continue to build the 'Yamato-class' battleships and the 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers. The security of the empire is already under serious threat. Under such circumstances, the Empire will naturally not give up the construction of the 'Pangu-class' battleships. Yang Du replied.
