"Your Excellency, what do you mean by that? What happened in Kuching? Isn't it the indigenous riots in Sarawak? Now, the Xinhua army has marched into Sarawak, and the indigenous rebellion has been quelled! Lin Zihao, the foreign minister of Xinhua, pretended to be stupid.

"Your Excellency, I am talking about the Brooke dynasty! The Xinhua army brazenly attacked the Brooke dynasty and slaughtered the British wherever they were! This is a provocation against the British Empire, an act of war! If Xinhua doesn't give us a reasonable explanation, then it means that war is about to break out! Envoy Eric threatened. No country has ever been able to kill so many Britons without paying the price! The majesty of the world's largest power in the British Empire, no country can provoke!

"Your Excellency, what's going on with the Brooke Dynasty? Does Sarawak have this country? Also, are you threatening us? Although Britain is strong, Xinhua is not afraid of you! If Britain dares to invade Xinhua, the Spanish Expeditionary Force is a lesson for you! Lin Zihao replied without flinching. Even though Britain's strength is much stronger than Xinhua's, in Nanyang, Britain can't force Xinhuaguo to bow its head! In Nanyang, Xinhua is the real hegemon!

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the Brooke dynasty is a state founded by the British in Sarawak! It deserves to be protected by the British! But. The army of your country, but brazenly attacked them and slaughtered the British there! This is a trampling on the sovereignty of the British Empire! Envoy Eric said angrily!

"Your Excellency, Special Envoy. I don't know about it! I can ask for you, though. I'll tell you when there's a result! In the face of the special envoy Eric, who threatened war at every turn, Lin Zihao was a little speechless, so he had to take the method of delaying!

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary! I can give you three days to get to the bottom of it! After three days, Xinhuaguo must give us a satisfactory explanation! Otherwise, war will break out! After Envoy Eric finished speaking, he left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Xinhua with a high spirit!

"Damn the British! Do you really think we're afraid you won't make it? If it weren't for the fact that the kingdom was now starting a new round of construction. His Majesty the King hopes to get a stable time for development, and the Xinhua Army has already attacked Singapore! Where are you guys showing off your might! Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Xinhua, said disdainfully! Of course, the strength of the British Empire was too strong. If you don't have to go to war, that's the best!

Subsequently, Lin Zihao rushed to the palace and told Long Yufei about the incident. The Xinhua Army destroyed the Brooke dynasty established by the British. And it was not revealed. Lin Zihao didn't know much. However, now that the British have known about it, they have shown a tough attitude. Then, Xinhua must come up with a solution! Whether it's war or peace, there has to be an explanation!

"Your Majesty, the attitude of the British is very tough, if we don't give them a satisfactory answer, they will really declare war on us!" Lin Zihao said with some concern. Although the Xinhua army defeated the Spanish expeditionary force as well as the Dutch-Indonesian colonial authorities. But England, along with Spain and the Netherlands, was clearly not a hierarchical enemy. The strength of the United Kingdom. Much stronger than both Spain and the Netherlands combined!

"I know about this! The General Staff has already told me. A group of retired British soldiers wanted to take advantage of the indigenous rebellion in Sarawak to establish their own kingdom in Sarawak. These guys, when the natives put their main strength on dealing with the suppression of the Sultanate of Brunei, with the help of the local British, successfully captured Kuching, and the army grew to more than 2,000 people! However, when the 1st Brigade arrived in Kuching, they refused to surrender. Therefore, the 1st Brigade mobilized the strength of two infantry battalions and launched an attack on Kuching! Eventually, this Brooke dynasty only existed for one day before perishing! Almost half of their army was killed! Zhang Wei, the commander of the 1st Brigade, gave a gag order, but unexpectedly, those British still knew it! Long Yufei said. Obviously, the British also have their own intelligence power in Sarawak! If you want to hide from the British, it is almost impossible!

Only then did Lin Zihao know what had happened in Sarawak. However, he also admires the whimsy of those retired soldiers of the British Army! The so-called heroes in troubled times, if it were not for the Xinhua Army to invade the Sultanate of Brunei, they would have really succeeded. Of course, because of the intervention of the Xinhua Army, this Brooke Dynasty has only existed for a day, and it can be called the shortest-lived dynasty in the world!

"Your Majesty, how should we reply to the British? With so many British dead this time, they will definitely not give up! Lin Zihao asked. The British obviously didn't have that much to dismiss, if it weren't for the fact that the main focus of the British was on India, and they still had so many allies to defend in the whole world, maybe Britain would have started a war with Xinhua a long time ago!

"You reply to them directly! It was the army of the Brooke dynasty that took the initiative to attack the Xinhua army, and we were just defending ourselves! I will prepare the military for war and at the same time put pressure on the British! A war with us would not do Britain any good! Long Yufei thought for a moment, and then said. Didn't some superpowers in later generations drive warships to other people's doorsteps at every turn to exert pressure on them? Although the Xinhua Army is now unable to sail warships to Europe, in the Chen Bing Strait Settlements, there is still no problem! Long Yufei believes that under the oppression of the huge military strength of the Xinhua Army, the British will wake up and make the right choice!

"Yes, Your Majesty, I know what to do!" Foreign Minister Lin Zihao nodded.

"Someone! Bring in the Chief of the General Staff, the Deputy Chief of the General Staff and the Chief of Operations! Long Yufei commanded. Although he was sure that Britain would not go to war with Xinhua now, the army must be ready for battle, and at the same time make a look of being ready for war, so as to scare off the British!

Twenty minutes later, Lieutenant General Liu Meng, Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Liu Yi, Deputy Chief of the General Staff, and Major General Sun Hao, Chief of Operations, rushed to the palace. The General Staff is also not far from the royal palace, less than a kilometer.

"Your Majesty!" After the three of them saw Long Yufei, they saluted one after another.

After the salute, Long Yufei said directly to the point: "The British already know that the Dao Brook Dynasty has been destroyed by us!" Their envoy has already approached the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and demanded that we severely punish the murderers and compensate them for their losses! ”

"Your Majesty, I can't agree to their request! Those British are looking for their own death, Sarawak is already our territory, and they are still ready to take food, they are completely impatient! General Zhang Wei is not only not guilty, but meritorious, we can't punish him! Lieutenant General Niu Meng said first.

"Your Majesty, with our strength now, we don't have to care about the British, the British don't dare to go to war with us!" Zhao Yi, deputy chief of general staff and minister of logistics and equipment, also said. Zhao Yi is almost sixty years old, but he is in good spirits and has good physical fitness. It's a lot of work, but it's still up to the task!

"Hmmm! Of course I won't punish the meritorious! However, this matter must be resolved. I've told the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to insist that it was the Brooke dynasty that attacked us in front, and we just fought back in self-defense! In addition, from now on, the Xinhua Army will prepare for war with great fanfare and put pressure on the British! I don't think they're going to go to war with us for a tiny Brooke dynasty! If they had to go to war, I wouldn't mind taking Singapore in one go! Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" All three replied. In order to confuse the British and give them the illusion that the Xinhua Army was preparing for war, it was necessary for all departments to work together. The army must be mobilized, the army and navy must be assembled in the Straits Settlements, and at the same time, logistics and materials must be mobilized!

"Your Majesty! The minister suggested approaching the Straits Settlements from both land and sea directions! The sea allows the First and Second Fleets to go off the coast of Singapore. The Fourth Fleet can also go out to the South China Sea! With the strength of the three major fleets, it is enough to easily encircle and annihilate the Far East Fleet of the British Navy, and even if the British Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet joins in, we have enough strength to defeat them! On land, the 6th Brigade of the Army is approaching the Strait of Malacca! If war breaks out, with the support of the Navy, the 6th Brigade will be enough to take down Singapore and even the entire Straits Settlements! Major General Sun Hao, Minister of Operations, analyzed. The British had only 3,000 troops in the Straits Settlements, and only one Far East Fleet in their navy! The Xinhua Army has an absolute advantage!

"Very well, generals, let's do it at once! Show our military muscles and let the British know how good we are! If they continue to pester, give them some color and see! Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Next, the Xinhua Army began to move. The Fourth Fleet, stationed in Manila, set sail for the South China Sea. At the same time, the First and Second Fleets joined forces and sailed off the coast of Singapore. The 6th Brigade of the Xinhua Army marched towards the Strait of Malacca. For a time, the sky over the Strait of Malacca was covered with war clouds. From a series of circumstances, it is shown that the Xinhua Army is about to make a move against the British Straits Settlements!

The movement of the Xinhua Army made the British Straits Settlements very nervous. On the one hand, the British army began to actively prepare for war to guard against the attack of the Xinhua army. On the other hand, the British Straits Settlements hurriedly communicated with Xinhua and wanted to find out Xinhua's intentions! Britain is the world's most powerful country! Xinhua actually intended to attack Britain, did they want to find death? (To be continued......)
