"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the French Government will give its full support to the Chinese Empire in its war against Britain in Burma. In this regard, France will offer to help in its capacity! Fabio, the French minister to China, said. At the beginning, France was also actively fighting with Britain for Burma, but France lost the competition and had to withdraw from Burma. But if they could make some trouble for the British, France would be more than happy to do so. What's more, the Chinese Empire and Britain went to war in Burma, which would allow Britain to focus mainly on Burma, and France would be under much less pressure. In the past two years, Britain has begun to regain its strength, which has put great pressure on France.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, France has a lot of information about Burma, especially some information about Burma's geography and transportation, which is urgently needed by the Empire!" Lin Zihao said with a smile. He didn't postpone it, and directly said what he wanted for the Chinese Empire. The French also made great efforts to invade Burma. It's just that I failed later and had to give up. Now, these materials are just cheap for the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire was founded in too short a short time, and its heritage was very different from that of the Western powers. Although Myanmar is a neighbor of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire has also increased its collection of information on Myanmar over the years, the geographical conditions of Myanmar are already very poor, and it is almost impossible to get a detailed map of Myanmar, so you can only turn to other countries for help. The French are now offering to come to the door, which is just right to solve this problem.

"Of course. Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, we in France are more than happy to help in this regard! Fabio, the French minister to China, said with a smile. Although, this information was collected with great difficulty by France. It's a pity to give it away like this. However, if the Chinese Empire could defeat the British in Burma, it would also be of great benefit to France. At the very least, Britain's power will be weakened. And, more importantly, after the Chinese Empire took control of Burma. would pose a direct threat to India. In order to defend India, Britain would have to devote more power to India, in this case. France is under much less pressure. Even if the Chinese Empire was defeated, it would not be much of a loss for France, and it would just improve France's position in the alliance. Therefore. This time France is sure to win!

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. The Kingdom of Spain is also willing to give its full support to the Chinese Empire, but there seems to be nothing we can do to help in this war. Casimiro, the Spanish minister to China, said with some embarrassment. In the midst of the hurry, the strength of the Kingdom of Spain was originally the weakest. They were more of the spokesmen of the Chinese Empire in Europe, and their close relationship with the Chinese Empire made them in the trade between the East and the West. Earned good profits, the strength of the country. It has also begun to gradually recover. This made the Kingdom of Spain even more tightly grip the thigh of the Chinese Empire. Although Britain was powerful and close at hand, the Kingdom of Spain seemed to believe that the Chinese Empire would win. This close and loyal ally gave the Chinese Empire a great boost in its dealings with the West.

"It doesn't matter, although the alliance treaty we signed does not apply to the war in Burma, everyone should have confidence in the military strength of the empire. We're going to win this battle! Lin Zihao said.

"Of course, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, we believe that the great Chinese* army will definitely be able to beat those British guys all over the ground!" Minister Casimiro said with a smile that he had great confidence in the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese Empire announced that it would send troops into Burma to fight, and the most surprising was Thailand. Originally, Thailand had already begun to prepare for war and was ready to resist the invasion of the Chinese Empire. But unexpectedly, all of a sudden, the peak turned around, because the British invaded Burma, which made the Chinese Empire temporarily change its goal and would fight the British in Burma. When King Rama III learned the news, he exclaimed that the Buddha would bless him. Although he is ready to die and break the net, the ending in Thailand will definitely not be good. It is undoubtedly a great luck to be able to escape now! Britain is the world's number one power, and the Chinese Empire is also very powerful, and it has an advantage in the South Seas. But Rama III believed that it would not be so easy for the Chinese Empire to defeat the British. This war between the two countries is certainly protracted. In this case, even if the Chinese Empire defeated the British in the end, it would definitely not take care of Thailand again. Perhaps Thailand could use other ways to ease relations with the Chinese Empire. In this way, Thailand will be able to continue to save zài. Of course, if the Chinese Empire had won the war against France, Thailand would have no choice but to die.

When the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire was holding a press conference, the Imperial Emperor Long Yufei, who had slept for a while, had already appeared at the General Staff Headquarters refreshed. And those high-ranking officials of the General Staff have red eyes like rabbits. In order to complete the plan to enter Burma and enter the war, they were busy all night last night.

"Everyone, thank you!" Seeing the tired appearance of these generals, Long Yufei still felt a little reluctant in his heart. Therefore, he specially asked the imperial chefs of the palace to prepare a sumptuous breakfast and bring it to everyone.

"Your Majesty, this is nothing. When we were begging for a living at sea, it didn't matter if we didn't sleep for a few days or nights. General Niu Meng, Chief of the General Staff, said nonchalantly. When I was a pirate, it was much harder than this, and it was still precarious.

"Haha, yes! Let's eat first, take a break, and then talk about business. Long Yufei said with a smile. Entering Burma to participate in the war is not a trivial matter, and there is no hurry for such a while.

Half an hour later, everyone gathered again at the War Department, where Lieutenant General Sun Hao, head of operations, briefed Long Yufei on the operational plan drawn up by the General Staff Headquarters. This is the result of an all-nighter of hard work last night.

"Your Majesty, according to what we have so far, the British are well prepared to attack Burma, and they have mobilized 200,000 troops, of which 100,000 are the elite British Army, and the other 100,000 are British and Indian troops. The British Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet also sent a number of warships to blockade the southern coast of Burma. Now, the British army has captured the southern part of Burma, and the main force of the Burmese army has been wiped out by the British, and they are marching towards Mandalay, the capital of the Kingdom of Burma. If we don't intervene, Mandalay will be captured by the British in half a month at most. And the British occupied the entire territory of Burma, and it only took more than a month at most! Lieutenant General Sun Hao said.

Long Yufei nodded, the situation in Myanmar is really bad now, the advantage of the British is too strong, and Myanmar is not Britain's opponent at all. If the Chinese Empire had not intervened, the fall of Burma would have been doomed. Of course, even if the Chinese Empire intervenes in Burma, the end will not be much better. After the Chinese Empire defeated the British, it would not let Burma go. This is probably the sorrow of small countries, which are destined to become the prey of large countries.

"Your Majesty, although our country borders Burma, but entering Burma from the southwest of our country is either high mountains or primeval forests, and the roads are difficult to navigate, and it is impossible to march with a large army. Therefore, there is only one way for us to send troops into Burma, and that is to land in Burma from the Burma Sea in the south. This required that the Imperial Navy must obtain sea supremacy. Of course, with the strength of the 5th Fleet, there should not be much problem in gaining sea supremacy, although the British Navy and the Indian Fleet still have dozens of warships, but these warships are just old sail warships, and they are definitely not the opponent of the 5th Fleet. However, if Britain intends to fight us in Burma with all its might, the main force of the British navy will certainly be transferred from home to India. At that time, I am afraid that the 1st Fleet will also have to participate in the war. Lieutenant General Sun Hao continued.

"Hmmm! The 5th Fleet and the 1st Fleet combined should have been enough to defeat the British Navy. Long Yufei said. Although the 'Western Zhou-class' battleships have not yet entered service, with the 'Shang-class' cruisers of the 1st Fleet and the 'Xia-class' cruisers of the 5th Fleet, it should not be too much of a problem to defeat the British Navy.

"Your Majesty, on the army side, we plan to use the first two infantry corps and the 2nd and 4th Brigades of the Marine Corps, and the British army has invested 200,000 men in Burma, although 100,000 are British and Indian troops with low combat effectiveness, but in order to ensure victory, we must invest at least 3 infantry corps or more. Therefore, in the second batch, we will once again put two infantry corps into Burma according to the actual situation. If the British continue to increase their forces in Burma, we will continue to increase the number of troops we have invested. Of course, according to our plan, the British army will not throw too many troops into Burma endlessly. On the one hand, huge losses, which the British simply could not afford. On the other hand, after losing sea supremacy, the logistical supply of those troops will also become a big problem. Therefore, the General Staff predicts that we will be able to win by throwing a maximum of 5 to 6 infantry corps into Burma! Lieutenant General Sun Hao said.

"The analysis makes a lot of sense, then let's do it according to the plan of the General Staff!" Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The first troops to land in Myanmar are expected to begin in a week. The first units will be the 7th Infantry Corps and the 14th Infantry Corps. After the 5th Fleet gained sea supremacy, the landing will begin! Sun Hao continued. (To be continued......)
