With the signing of the treaty, the "Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Armaments", also known as the "Six-Power Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Armaments between the United States, Britain, France, Italy, China and Japan" (referred to as the "Six-Power Treaty"), was finally approved.

With the passage of this treaty, a new pattern of the post-war world has finally emerged.

In this new pattern, the first echelon is naturally the United Kingdom and the United States. The former is the British Empire, known as the empire on which the sun never sets, and is considered the number one player among the old colonial powers, with colonies that can be said to be all over the world, and the sun will shine on the territory of this empire at any time.

Although this once big empire seems to be starting to decline, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Unless they are going through an experience similar to the First World War, it is difficult to say that the British will completely go down the stage of history.

As for the Americans, not to mention in detail.

A super industrial power, it is also one of the most powerful countries in this era. With its huge industrial capacity alone, the United States is already worthy of the qualifications of the first echelon.

In fact, in the early days of the Washington Treaty, Japan opposed the 10:10:6 ratio between the United States and the United Kingdom, and instead insisted on the 10:10:7 demand. As a result, the Americans threatened that if Japan persisted, then Japan would build one warship, and the United States would build four.

There was no doubt that Japan had no hope of playing with the Americans, either industrially or financially, so in the end, the Japanese government had no choice but to compromise and accept the terms of the British and Americans.

And during this period. China, together with Japan, both got the position of the second echelon ...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The second echelon, perhaps, for this position. Many in the national government were not very satisfied. But there is no doubt about one thing, that is, at least for the defense navy at this stage, it is cheap.

After all, no matter how you put it, when the four Jairus-class battleships have not yet been put into service, there is always a big gap between the surface fleet of the National Defense Navy and the great powers.

Fortunately, at the insistence of Gu Weijun and others, the British and Americans finally chose to give in. Of course. To this end, the Kokusha government also made some compromises, such as the Colorado-class battleships of the Americans, and the two Nagato-class battleships of the Japanese government.

According to the agreement. Neither the two Colorado-class battleships of the Americans, nor the two Nagato-class battleships of the Japanese. Although none of these four battleships were yet to be completed, in the end, like the four Jairus class ships of the National Commune Government, they all got a chance to be born...

Nevertheless. The national government seems to have paid some price. But in fact, the Nationalist government still made money. After all, unlike the Japanese and the Americans, who had been building battleships for quite some time, the Kokusha government's construction had just begun.

What's more, even if both Japan and the United States are in service, China can still have the most powerful batch of battleships in the world with the number of four, and the number is equivalent to Japan and the United States combined...

In addition, the treaty reached at the Washington Conference was, in a sense, an acknowledgment of the power of the national government. Therefore, for the Chinese people, the outcome of this meeting is naturally something worth celebrating.

Within the urban area of Beijing. A very lively celebration is taking place. On the street lamps of several pedestrian streets in the city, colorful lights are hung on them. A large number of citizens gathered together to enjoy this rare festive atmosphere.

In particular, the fireworks that bloomed in the night sky attracted the cheers of countless people.

Of course, the shops on both sides of the pedestrian street obviously did not intend to let go of this opportunity to make a fortune, and opened their stores one by one to welcome the citizens who celebrated on the street. In particular, the more savvy merchants have placed a large number of navy-related goods in their stores, such as navy hats, monoculars, binoculars, and a series of other things, and several of them have even launched some models of naval warships. For example, some destroyers and cruisers in the current National Defense Navy, one of them even launched an all-metal model of the Jairus-class battleship, of course, this model must have been made according to the pictures advertised.

There is no doubt that the all-metal model of the Jairus-class battleship is definitely one of the hottest items, but the price of this thing is undoubtedly expensive. Not to mention ordinary people, even for some of the more solid people is something out of reach, fortunately, the merchant did not intend to sell, just intended to treat this thing as a treasure of the town―――――― for them this is a rare business opportunity, because in this festive atmosphere, the pockets are somewhat bulging citizens, do not mind some consumption in the store.

At least one of the gift shops has received no less than two or three hundred customers since the beginning of the festivities outside, and most of these customers have chosen to shop.

Although such sales performance is certainly not comparable with some large shopping malls, not to mention the 'rain stone department store' that has now opened all over the country. But for those small stores, such a performance is already something to celebrate.

It is also for this reason that after the celebration has been going on for a while, the owners of several shops have handed over the business to their men and run out into the streets to celebrate with the townspeople.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

“……… The Great President..."

In the presidential palace, Yan Shao was sitting on the sofa, tasting the juice that had just been made, and at this time, a staff member in the presidential palace suddenly walked quickly to Yan Shao's side, leaned into his ear and whispered about the celebrations that were taking place outside.

Hearing the staff's report, Yan Shao's expression did not change at all. "It's nothing, there's good news. It's normal for citizens to want to celebrate, so let them celebrate. But remember to inform the police and the city government so that they can find a way to keep the celebration in order. If something happens, I'll ask them when the time comes..."

Yan Shao didn't tell the staff, in fact, he already knew the news. And just after hearing it, he commanded without changing his face.

Of course, the staff member didn't know this, so after nodding, he quickly retreated according to Yan Shao's instructions. Only Yan Shao was still sitting on the sofa and continued to taste the juice in the cup.

In fact, Yan Shao already knew about the celebration outside. It can even be said that before the celebration began, an intelligence organization exclusive to Yan Shao had already informed Yan Shao of the relevant information―――――― which is not surprising, after all, it was also something that happened under Yan Shao's nose. Of course, Yan Shao couldn't have known it.

For this kind of celebration, Yan Shao naturally has nothing to resist.

Moreover, unless it is a blatant anti-government act, the national government rarely interferes in some activities of the Chinese people.

As for why he didn't sue the staff himself, he already knew about it...

On the one hand, it is because Yan Shao feels that it is unnecessary, and on the other hand, it is also a means of superiors. That is, whether it is true or not. Yan Shao needs to make the people under him feel it. I am actually very important to Yan Shao, at least of some importance...

So in order to keep the people under him feeling this way, even though Yan Shao already knew the whole thing, he still pretended not to know. The purpose is very simple, it is to make these people think that if they didn't sue Yan Shao, Yan Shao would not know about this matter, and they are still more important to Yan Shao...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"President, what's going on?"

I noticed the figure of the staff member just now. Xu Shichang, who had been chatting with Duan Qirui on the side, turned his head sideways and asked softly.

Hearing Xu Shichang's words, some other high-ranking government officials in the room. They also turned their heads sideways. Even those who didn't pricked up their ears.

As a politician, you need to be curious at all times. Of course, many times they have to pretend not to be curious, and at other times, it is important to know that some curiosity can help them, and some can only cause trouble...

"It's nothing..."Yan Shao smiled, drank the juice in the cup, and put the cup on the table next to him. Then he put his right hand on the armrest next to the sofa and stood up from his seat. "It's just that the people below have just come to report, and the citizens outside are holding some celebrations, and it seems to be quite lively..."

Saying that, Yan Shao walked to the window on the side, and he didn't even need Yan Shao to do it himself, there were already staff members who opened the curtains. Through the window, although the distance seemed to be a little far, Yan Shao could still see the bright lights in the distance.

And as long as he saw this scene, even if he couldn't see it with his own eyes, Yan Shao seemed to be able to imagine how lively it was in the distance.

"It's so lively, I feel a little impulsive to have fun with the people..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Xu Shichang on the side smiled slightly, walked to Yan Shao's side with a wine glass, stood in a position half of Yan Shao's body, and also looked at the scenery outside the window, and only replied after half a sound.

"If the president is interested, why don't you really go out and have fun with the people..."

"Forget it." Yan Shao smiled bitterly and waved his hand, with an expression of 'you spare me'. "If I really go out, it's lively, but I'm afraid it's not a small trouble, and it's too troublesome to do so, so let's celebrate with you here..."

With Yan Shao's current status, although this kind of 'fun with the people' is not impossible, it is also necessary to look at the occasion and make adequate preparations in advance.

Not to mention anything else, at least you need to let Yan Shao's bodyguards do a good job of security first...

Otherwise, someone suddenly went crazy and aimed a sniper rifle at Yan Shao's head on a tall building―――――― Yan Shao didn't plan to end up like Kennedy.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Xu Shichang, Duan Qirui and the others all smiled. They didn't say anything more, just held their glasses and muttered about what had happened recently, and blessed each other well.

And after feeling a little bored. Yan Shao took a wine glass from the waiter's hand again and walked towards the seats of the ladies. There, Yan Shao's four wives and two daughters, as well as Fumiko, were all sitting there...

"Everyone, you had a lot of fun at this celebration party..."

Holding a wine glass and saluting to the ladies on the seat, Yan Shao asked with a smile.

"Let the president worry. We all had a good time..."Seeing that Yan Shao personally ran over to ask, although he knew that Yan Shao's target was not them, a few female dependents couldn't help but be flattered and replied.

And after smiling at them. Yan Shao walked to the side and the vacant seat next to Elaino.

"Why did you come here..."Looking at Yan Shao, who suddenly ran over and sat down, Ileno couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"At this time, of course, you need to share this joy with your family..."Hearing Elaino's question, Yan Shao replied with a smile. After speaking, he reached out and gently pinched Elano's nose―――――― although it was Yan Shao or Elaline. It seems that he is not old enough to do this kind of action, but Yan Shao seems extremely natural when he does it, and Elano also seems very calm.

"I don't object to you wanting to celebrate, but there should be two more meetings to come, right?"

Seeing Yan Shao's happy appearance, Caterina coughed lightly and reminded Yan Shao very calmly.

True, although not so long ago the news about the signing of the Six-Power Naval Treaty officially came. But the Six-Power Naval Treaty was only one of the four items of the Washington Conference.

In addition to the Six-Power Naval Treaty. There are two more meetings that are also very important for China waiting in the future. The celebration has suddenly begun, and it seems a little too early...

"It's nothing...", glancing at the people next to them who seemed to be discussing something with each other. But in fact, they all had their ears pricked up, and the ladies of those high-level government officials, Yan Shao replied with a smile. "It's a celebration in advance, anyway, the government hasn't held a celebration for a while, so it's time to take this top..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao looked at Elinor and Katarina.

He didn't care much about the small actions of the ladies next to him, after all, women's gossip was a natural thing. No matter how powerful Yan Shao is, I am afraid that he may not be able to reverse this kind of woman's nature.

Besides, Yan Shao is not talking about anything very important now, so naturally there is no need to care about anything. What's more, the people sitting here now can almost be said to be the daughters of the high-level of the national government, in other words, from a certain point of view, they can also be called acquaintances. At least in normal times, we will meet in person.

"In fact, I even thought about whether to release the secret of "Middle East Oil" in advance, and make this secret public, so that the Chinese people can celebrate and the country have a good time―――――― but we Chinese like to be the most lively, and at the same time, we are also the people who like to watch the excitement the most..."

Although what Yan Shao said seemed to be quite good, Caterina on the side did not hesitate to expose Yan Shao. "You don't want to see the excitement, but you want to see the faces of the British people after learning the news..."

"There's also a reason for this..."Scratching his head, Yan Shao couldn't help but laugh.

As Caterina said, Yan Shao really wanted to know what the British would look like when they learned that the Middle East, which they had promised to the national government, was actually a treasure land full of oil resources.

Especially at such a time when the Washington Conference is being held, I believe that the expressions of the representatives of the British government must be particularly wonderful!

Yan Shao was even thinking about whether to let his subordinates take pictures of the expressions of the British government representatives with cameras and send them to himself after the news was announced, so that he could be happy for a while.

But...

"I'm not against you having fun, provided it's not a woman—" At this point, there was a slight silence before Caterina continued. But you have to think about it, it's only the second meeting, and there are still two meetings left before the end of the Washington meeting. And, unlike the Four-Power Treaty, the next two meetings are important to us. Now that you have made the affairs of the Middle East public, you can indeed admire the faces of the British, but again, no one can guarantee that the British, in the face of annoyance, will not stumble on us at the meeting and cause some trouble..."

"So I'd better wait until the conference is over, at least after the conference is over and all four treaties are signed, no matter how embarrassed the British are, they can only sit there and do it in a hurry, or support the local resistance groups behind their backs, and it is completely impossible for them to tear up the treaty at the risk of the world's condemnation―――――― unless they want to discredit the British Empire."

"I think so too..."Hearing Caterina say this, Yan Shao smiled hesitantly. Otherwise, I'd already be doing this in my character..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao glanced up at the sky.

"Are there two clauses left? I always feel a little looking forward to it..."

What to expect? Of course, it's the embarrassed and distorted expression of the British! (To be continued......)
