Chapter 655: Sunset Empire

As the saying goes, there is no single line of disaster.

Just as Qiu Fatzi was discussing how to deal with the issue of French peace, a secretary hurriedly ran in.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, the latest news from China......" The secretary held a document in his hand, and his face could not hide his panic.

"What?" Qiu Fatzi took the document and looked at it, and his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver. Soon he let out an angry scream: "Damn the Chinese guys!

Everyone hurriedly circulated the intelligence document, and everyone who read it looked like a mourner.

The information said: This morning, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially announced that, after friendly consultations between all parties, all territories and all public facilities on the territory of the former Commonwealth of Australia, New Zealand, and the Commonwealth of Malaya will be handed over to the People's Republic of China for 20 years from now on. Twenty years later, the people of these regions held a referendum to decide whether to merge with China or regain independence.

All of you here are smart people, and they know very well what kind of "escrow" of Rausch, that is, the synonym of annexation, is nothing more than that China does not directly use the word "annexation" in order to maintain its great and righteous image. The "referendum" in 20 years is even more nonsense, China now has a population of more than 940 million, and the population of Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia is now less than 8.4 million, as long as China gets 10 million immigrants in the past 20 years, it will be done.

And that's not counting the exodus from these three regions, especially Australia and New Zealand, where there are certainly quite a few people who do not want to live under Chinese rule, and they will definitely leave, and this part of the population will certainly not be less than 1 million. In this way, China only needs to immigrate 7 million people to Australia and New Zealand to completely change the local population composition and occupy a demographic advantage. And according to the analysis of China's past practices, they must not only be immigrants, but at least tens of millions.

Qiu Fatzi, who is also a politician for many years, quickly calmed down his anger and asked everyone: "Everyone, what should the British Empire do now? Our current power cannot take care of Australia and New Zealand at all, and Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union have already made it difficult for us to deal with it......

But the whole living room was silent, and all the big guys, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't say a word.

Besides, the present time is different from the past, and the current British Empire is no longer as good as a crab, and the last five years of World War I and the colonial uprising in the ten years after the war have caused this former hegemon to fall off the altar and lose its glory.

With the current national strength of Britain, it is no longer possible to support several sides of the war. Even if World War II did not break out, it would be difficult to make any substantial threat to the terrible dragon of the East. If we turn the other cheek with China now, not only will it not be able to play a role, but India will lose everything.

Although Britain made plans to abandon Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia at the beginning of the South Sea War, they did not expect that China's ambitions would be so great. It turned out to be a total annexation, not the "land reparation" they expected. It is only now that they realize that China is not Britain, and that China now has 940 million citizens, and it doesn't take much effort to digest these regions.

Soon everyone looked at Aiden, which means "This is a matter for your Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and you are the Minister of Foreign Affairs, so naturally you want to express your ......."

So Aiden had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "The imperial government cannot recognize China's actions, and we must protest to China! We can recognize that Malaya belongs to China, but Australia and New Zealand cannot give it up easily, and we can accept the land cession indemnity, but we cannot recognize the annexation!"

Qiu Fatzi sighed, and had no choice but to say: "Okay, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately drafts a letter of protest and lodges a strong protest with China! In addition, let the embassy in China make efforts to negotiate and be sure to keep two countries, even if the territory is less." If that doesn't work out, you can keep a country. In addition, to coordinate with the United States, I don't think they want China to extend its hand so far......"

The British bigwigs all had sad expressions, and the atmosphere in the room was so oppressive that it was breathless. When did the empire that never set the sun set on the seven seas have to be so compromised? Even the most loyal little brother can't keep it.

……………………………………………………………………

December 28, 2782 (1941). Hankyung.

"Mr. Wen, the United Kingdom and the United States have strongly protested to us that we must not annex Australia and New Zealand...... "Cavour reported to Wendeji with a smile. The tone was light-hearted, not at all like being protested.

"Hehe, they also know about protesting annexation?" Wen Desi took the document and glanced at it, and said very contemptuously: "I remember that Australia and New Zealand are not British territory, why should they protest? The United States has no position, and there was no such country 300 years ago." Now that they have robbed enough, they have come to protest against us? Are only the governors allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps? How can there be such a reason in the world?"

That's right, the logic of our beloved Mr. Wen is "The monk can touch it, and I can touch it", Nima, you British and American ghost animals can grab territory all over the world, and Lao Tzu can't grab it in the grand sky# Dynasty?

"Hmph, this world is about strength, and I remember that the Europeans said that the cannon is the best instrument for correcting the borders of the country, and I deeply believe that. If we are not strong enough, it is ours and not ours, as was the case with the Manchus. But as long as our strength is enough, what is not ours is ours, such as now......" Wen Deji said to everyone with a smile.

He still has something unspoken: Since Lao Tzu has already occupied it, it is Lao Tzu's territory. If you don't accept it, you will beat me!

"Hahahaha......" The Chinese bigwigs all laughed.

"Like, Britain is already a sunset empire, what kind of stinky shelves are there? I think they are still immersed in the dreaming of the Victorian era. ”

"That's right, when the United States annexed Haiti and Dominica a few years ago, we didn't say anything. Who are they to accuse us?"

Everyone turned against the British and American protests.

Although these words are true, they cannot be said on the bright side, and it is necessary to maintain China's consistent image of Weiguang and righteousness.

As a result, the Chinese Foreign Ministry made a lengthy and empty declaration overnight, publicly replying to the protests of Britain and the United States. This declaration is full of words, but the main content can be summed up in a few sentences: the inability of the Australian and New Zealand governments to maintain local rule has caused serious humanitarian otaku, and in order to maintain justice, justice and peace in the world, China, as a responsible major country, should have the unshirkable responsibility to manage the Australian and New Zealand region and restore local order and tranquility.

At the same time, China also implicitly pointed out in the declaration that the Australian and New Zealand governments are not the natural owners of the land, they are invaders, and the current territory is what they have grabbed. So China's approach is not aggression, but to administer justice to the local natives.

Well, that's roughly it, whether the British and American people believe it or not, anyway, the Chinese people believe it.

…………………………………………………………………………

Hanjing, Zixiao Tower.

"Yes, that's it! We are dignified and have never engaged in aggression! We all convince people with virtue, yes, convince people with virtue! Lao Wang, Lao Lu, do you say ......" Shen Minlong, the fat man, patted the front page of the "China Daily" that had just come out, and said with a laugh.

"That's right, we have been convincing ......people with virtue for thousands of years," Wang Qinian said with a smile.

"Yes, this Oceania was originally a borderless land, and it was picked up by the British before, and now we should take it back. You see, isn't this the excavation of our cultural relics? This shows that this area has been our ...... since ancient times," Lu Yuan also nodded repeatedly, and he said with a smile as he flipped through the headlines on the second page of the China Daily.

The second edition is a report on the archaeological achievements of Oceania, where Chinese archaeological teams have unearthed many ancient Chinese artifacts in many parts of Australia and New Zealand, including bronzes from the Yin and Shang periods, as well as ceramics, houses and other relics. There is also a summary of the reporter's interview with Lieutenant General Sun Dianying, director of the China Special Examination Committee.

There is also a popular science article written by Mr. Jing Zhelan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Culture and History, an advisor to the royal family of the Erathian Empire, and a senior professor of Nanyang University, "The Historical Relationship between China and Oceania". Professor Jing is a conscientious young historian who has analyzed the historical relationship between China and Oceania in simple terms, and used irrefutable historical records and archaeological evidence to prove that Oceania has been inhabited by Chinese since ancient times. Well, Professor Jing's main focus is on the history of the Middle East, the Two Rivers and Ancient Egypt, but he is also interested in the history of Oceania.

That's right, Wang Qinian and Lu Yuan are also sitting in this teahouse now, still on the fifth floor. Everyone in Hanjing knows that Zixiao Tower, a teahouse, is a meeting place for China's top rich, especially on the fifth floor, which is not something that ordinary people can come up to. Some time ago, a certain lobby manager rejected what a local tyrant from outside the city who wanted to go up to the fifth floor said, that is: I don't have 30 million assets and I want to go up to the fifth floor?

Wang Qinian and Lu Yuan are both senior cadres of state-owned enterprises, Wang Qinian is the vice president of the Tuodong Group Aviation Development Company, and Lu Yuan is the vice president of the Efei Group, but their net worth is definitely not 30 million.

But now they are sitting with Shen Minlong, a famous person in the top local tyrant circle, and they seem to be very familiar, that Shen Fat Man is still so enthusiastic, he doesn't look like an ordinary entertainment at all, but like a relative.

This immediately attracted the attention of all the tea customers in the teahouse, and this circle is so big. Suddenly, there were two more strangers, which were naturally very conspicuous.

Immediately, someone called the guy to inquire. A well-dressed boss popped up a "golden panda" and asked the guy, "Who are these two?"

The guy hurriedly took over the "Golden Panda", his eyes were full of joy. Since the Great Economic Crisis, gold coins have not been issued much. Gold coins are now a rarity, and over the years, only tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of coins have been issued every year, and at most only 500,000 coins, which are difficult to see on the market. For example, if this "Golden Panda" with a face value of 20 yuan is exchanged for at least 50 yuan on the market. However, gold coins are quite common in Zixiao Tower, because the local tyrants here like to use gold coins for rewards, which are more compelling than paper money and silver dollars.

"Mr. Lin, they were brought by Shen Gong, not a regular visitor. When the guy got the reward, he naturally said nothing: "The one sitting opposite Shen Gong and wearing a cyan official uniform is Mr. Wang Qinian, vice president of Tuodong Group Aviation Development Company." The one sitting on Shen Gong's right hand and wearing striped casual clothes is Mr. Lu Yuan, vice president of Efei Group, who is an executive of a large state-owned enterprise. ”

"Huh...... As far as I know, this old Shen doesn't seem to have anything to do with the two units of Tuodong and Efei?" someone next to him asked.
