The Chinese delegation refused to stay in a hotel designated by the U.S. government, instead staying at the embassy, and the news spread quickly. Among the ordinary American people, it caused a strong indignation, who believed that this was the Chinese empire looking down on the Americans.

In particular, under the transfer of some well-intentioned people, many Americans went to the Imperial Embassy to protest with slogans and banners.

"Chinese, this is the United States, it's not for you to be wild!"

"Yellow-skinned monkey, get out! Get out of America! ”

A large number of Americans gathered outside the Chinese embassy shouting all kinds of slogans, and among those slogans and slogans, there was no lack of discriminatory language. Of course, no matter how fierce these Americans shouted, no one dared to make a dangerous move. After all, this is the Chinese embassy, and the guards of the embassy have taken up arms and are on alert. If they dare to storm the embassy, then the embassy guards will definitely shoot.

"It seems that we are really not popular with these Americans!" Yang Du laughed.

"Hmph, if we hadn't invited us, we wouldn't have wanted to come!" Tang Shaoyi snorted coldly.

"The Americans are clearly using indiscriminate means to deal with us. In the future, we will definitely make them repay it a thousand times over. Marshal Shi Tianhan said coldly. He knows that there will inevitably be a war between China and the United States. If the Americans insult the empire like this today, then the future empire on the battlefield will definitely make the Americans pay more for it.

The news that a large number of Americans had protested outside the Chinese embassy even made the front page headlines of major American newspapers the next day, and all Americans knew about it. Of course, this is exactly what the U.S. government wants to see. Delegations from other countries would also be happy to see that.

"Now those Chinese should be sober, they know that this is the United States." Not China, not the Far East, where they call the shots. British Prime Minister David Lloyd George said.

"The people of China are too arrogant! It's just that, in front of the Americans, what qualifications do the people of China have to be arrogant? These are the exact words of Masashi Terauchi. Obviously, the Chinese delegation was deflated in the United States, which made these Japanese very happy.

The next day. U.S. President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes met at the White House, and the two also talked about it with a smile on their faces.

"Those yellow-skinned monkeys should know this time that they can't go wild in the United States. But it's just rising, like an upstart, how can it be compared to us? "President Harding was very happy. Previously, in the mouths of many European powers, the United States was described as an upstart. But now they can finally put the term on the heads of the Chinese.

"Your Excellency, the people have great hostility towards the Chinese. Even if we really fell out with the Chinese at this meeting. The people will support us. Hughes said. After all. These high-ranking officials of the US Government must first be responsible to those Americans.

"Hmm!" President Harding nodded in satisfaction. Many Americans are hostile to China, believing that China's exports have seized the market for American goods, which has caused the current US economy to deteriorate. China has a huge domestic market, but this market is not something that the United States can enter arbitrarily. Under the slander of well-intentioned people, this has almost become the reason for the deterioration of the US economy. And many Americans also blame China for their worsening lives. So. The populace is completely ignorant and easily seduced by these filthy politicians.

"Your Excellency. The meeting will start soon, before that, is it necessary to contact the Chinese first, or at least to touch their bottom first? Secretary of State Hughes said.

"Yes! You can do that. President Harding said. He thought that this time the plan was complete, and the Chinese would definitely fall into their trap. That's the case. It is very likely that the United States will suppress the Chinese Empire and kick it out of the competition for world hegemony in the future. At that time, the possibility of the United States winning world hegemony will undoubtedly be much greater.

Secretary of State Hughes nodded. Subsequently. He had ****** staff contact the Chinese Embassy in the United States. In the afternoon, Hughes and Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby went to the Chinese Embassy in the United States for the first informal meeting between China and the United States before the Washington Conference.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Your Excellency the Chief of the General Staff. I'm so sorry that I'm so busy these days that I didn't come to the train station to meet you when you came, which was rude. Hughes apologized first.

Although, knowing that the Americans are pretending to be posturing, such a small problem is obviously not suitable for holding on. So, Yang Du shook his head indifferently: "Your Excellency, Secretary of State, we didn't pay attention to this little matter at all. Your Excellency doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, it's great that you can think like that." Hughes was still smiling.

After that, the conversation between the two sides began to gradually get closer to the point.

"Your Excellency, the world situation is becoming more and more tense. All countries are frantically building capital ships, and this has undoubtedly further aggravated the tension in the international situation. As one of the great powers of the world, the United States of America has an obligation to work for world peace. The Chinese Empire is also one of the world's great powers, so we hope that the Chinese Empire will also make its due contribution in this regard. After all, world peace is not easy to come by, and for the sake of all mankind, we should also strive to cherish it. Hughes said. He had a compassionate look as if he really wanted to think about all mankind. In fact, everyone knows that this is simply for the sake of the interests of the United States.

"The Chinese Empire is a peace-loving country, and we are willing to work for world peace. Actually, we've always done that. Yang Du didn't blink his eyes and responded directly. Anyway, such a lie can come out of nowhere.

"Your Excellency, the Pangu-class battleships being built in China, the kind of huge battleships with a displacement of more than 70,000 tons, have seriously exacerbated tensions in the Far East and the world. We hope that the Chinese Empire will stop the construction of the Pangu-class battleships. Hughes said unashamedly. It's as if China builds Pangu-class battleships and destroys world peace.

Yang Du, Tang Shaoyi, and Shi Tianhan couldn't help frowning.

"Your Excellency, China's construction of battleships should be our internal affair. Does the United States have to take care of this? It's too wide, isn't it? Tang Shaoyi asked rhetorically.

"No, no, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. The United States has absolutely no intention of interfering in China's internal affairs. However, we believe that if China cancels the construction of Pangu-class battleships, it will be very beneficial to protect world peace. Hughes said.

"The reason why China built the 'Pangu-class' battleships is to protect our security. The Japanese were building the 'Yamato-class' battleships, the British also restarted the construction program of the N3-class battleships, and the French also restarted the construction program of the 'Lyon-class' battleships. Even you, the United States, plan to build six 'South Dakota-class' battleships at once? You just claim that the Chinese Empire destroyed the peace of the world by building a few battleships, but what about yourselves? Marshal Shi Tianhan, chief of the General Staff, asked with some anger.

"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, if the Chinese Empire is willing to abandon the construction of the Pangu-class battleships, the United States of America will abandon the construction of the 'South Dakota-class' battleships. Similarly, Britain agreed to abandon the construction of N3-class battleships. U.S. Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby said.

Yang Du and the others couldn't help but look at each other, why did they all agree to abandon the construction of these cutting-edge battleships. Could it be that these guys are deliberately targeting the Chinese Empire?

"So, the Japanese and the French?" Tang Shaoyi asked.

"On the Japanese side, we are contacting them in the hope that they will abandon the construction of the 'Yamato-class' battleships. As for France, their naval strength was already very weak, and even if the 'Lyon-class' battleships were built, it would not matter. Edwin Denby replied.

"Will the Japanese stop the construction of the 'Yamato-class' battleships? By the way, the Japanese are still building the 'Amagi-class' battle cruisers. If the Japanese were able to abandon the construction of the 'Yamato-class' battleships and the 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers. Then, we agreed to stop the construction of the 'Pangu-class' battleships. Imperial Prime Minister Yang Du said.

Anyway, the 'Pangu-class' battleships of the Imperial Navy were simply a façade. In fact, the construction of a real fleet aircraft carrier of the first rank of the Imperial Navy has already begun. In three years at most, the Imperial Navy will have four fleet carriers. When the time comes, the victory of the Imperial Navy will grow by leaps and bounds. Even if countries desperately build battleships, they will not pose a threat to the empire.

As for the French Navy, China did not pay attention to it either. Anyway, the strength of the French Navy was weak. Although the 'Lyon-class' battleships had four quadruple 340-mm guns, their real combat effectiveness remains to be seen. Perhaps, even the 'Five Emperor-class' battleships of the Imperial Navy are not comparable, so naturally there is nothing worth paying attention to.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, China is one of the most powerful powers in the world, so why is it necessary to keep an eye on Japan? Now it is up to China to contribute to world peace, not to threaten it. U.S. Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby said.

Obviously, the Americans are clearly biased in favor of the Japanese. (To be continued.) )
