"A declaration of war? No, why a declaration of war? We are not declaring war, this is just an ultimatum. If they say yes, it won't be good. ”

When asked by US Ambassador to China Nelson Jensen, Wen Desi replied as follows. His expression at this time was so amiable and harmless.

Jensen's face was very ugly: "Your Excellency, such conditions are too ridiculous, and it is impossible for any country to accept them!"

In the past few days, he has tried his best to make peace with the mud. But China's ultimatum at the end made him feel like he had been tricked.

The terms of handing over the murderer and compensating for the damage are still within the normal range. Although it is somewhat overbearing, it is reasonable for the heads of state and government of other countries to come to China in person to apologize. But the terms of the compensation for land cession are a bit excessive. Not to mention, Wen Deji also asked people to make a new law that not restrict any Chinese immigrants, and also added this article: even if they are not immigrants, as long as they live in Australia for three years, they will automatically obtain the nationality of the country, and at the same time have the right to vote.

That's too much, and it's not the worst of it. He also demanded that troops be stationed in important cities and key areas of the three countries, on the grounds of maintaining local law and order and the safety of Chinese lives and property.

Such a clause is inevitably too insincere. The fight hasn't been fought yet, it's the land reparation, and it's the garrison, as long as it's a person with a normal IQ, he won't agree.

Jensen has been an ambassador in China for thirteen years, and can be called an "old friend of the Chinese people", and knows the situation of the country and the style of Wen Deji very well. As soon as he looked at these terms, he knew that China had made it clear that it did not want to talk about it, and that it had no sincerity to talk about it at all.

Wen Deji said with a serious face: "Mr. Ambassador, our people cannot die in vain!" When I met with the President of your country, Ghana, I promised him that as long as these countries no longer do anything that provokes our country, I can promise to solve the problem by diplomatic means. But after that, you know. Not only have they violated the dignity of our country again, but they have also intensified it. They killed our people, wounded our people, set fire to houses, and looted things. There are even military and police officers involved. Don't you think these things are crimes?"

“…… This ......" Jensen was speechless, and even a career diplomat did not dare to say that these things were not crimes. Murder, murder, arson, and robbery are felonies in all civilizations. Since it is a crime, it should be punished. There are still very few white left virgins in this era, at least not Jensen.

"If it is a crime, shouldn't it be punished? Our conditions are punitive, otherwise they won't remember if they don't feel pain. At the same time, these events also show that their governments have lost control of the social order. Since they can't manage so much land, let's take care of it. What do you think, Mr. Ambassador?"

"......" Jensen didn't answer for a moment, he was thinking quickly about how to deal with it. There is no way, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia are completely unreasonable in this matter, and China has too much evidence in its hands, from photos to videos, human and material evidence, and even most of the information of those who committed the murder has mastered it. Because it is a fact, there is no way to deny it. As for whether the punishment is too heavy, it depends on the strength, this era is the law of the jungle of Chiguoguo.

Jensen's brain hurts, and he can't figure out how to excuse those idiots.

"Mr. Ambassador, we are old friends. I don't have to lie to you, as long as the three countries agree to our terms, I have no reason to go to war. Wen Deji said indifferently: "I don't like war, after all, war is a very expensive thing." Why should I choose war if it can be solved by other means?"

"Mr. President, we in the United States can only support the first three articles of the Article, but oppose the later Articles, and even more so the act of waging war thereof. If China insists on doing this, it will have a huge impact on our friendship. The United States opposes any change in the existing situation in the Pacific. Now that Wen Deji has made up his mind, Jensen finally had to say this. That is, if you're going to do it, we're going to support ANZ.

"I understand the U.S. position, but please also understand our position. Our will to safeguard the dignity of the state and the safety of people's lives and property is strong, and we will not back down because of opposition from the outside world!"

The talks broke up unhappily.

This is also certain, because the interests of China and the United States have conflicted, and it is no wonder that the Yankees are willing to give up.

For the United States, the rapidly expanding China has already posed a threat to their strategic state of affairs, and in South America, in South Africa, American interests have been harmed. The part of Malaya is too far from heaven and too close to China, and that's fine, but if even Australia and New Zealand fall under China's control, then who has the final say in the Pacific? This is seriously not in the interests of the United States.

From China's strategic point of view, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia are also determined to win. Only by controlling the Malayan Peninsula can the South China Sea and the South Sea be completely turned into its own inland lake. Only by controlling Australia and New Zealand can China firmly control the Pacific Ocean, and although China also controls many islands, it is not comparable to a continent. More importantly, if Australia falls into the hands of other big hooligans, it will pose a threat to China's strategic security.

Not to mention, the abundance of resources in these places, especially Australia. It has the world's largest gold, iron ore, lead, nickel, rutile, silver, uranium, zinc and zirconium resources, the second largest bauxite, lignite, cobalt, ilmenite and tantalum resources, the third largest copper and lithium resources, the fourth largest thorium resources and the fifth largest black coal and manganese ore resources.

Australia's rich continent is rich in mineral resources, oil and natural gas, with at least 70 kinds of mineral resources. Among them, bauxite reserves rank first in the world, accounting for 35% of the world's total reserves. It has about 9.2 billion tons of bauxite, 24 billion tons of iron ore, 650 billion tons of bituminous coal, 520 billion tons of lignite, 30 million tons of lead, 30 million tons of nickel, 126,000 tons of silver, 70,000 tons of tantalum, 80 million tons of zinc, 1.31 million tons of uranium, 12,000 tons of gold, 300 million tons of copper, and 40% of the world's known uranium resources. Moreover, most of these minerals are high-grade, open-pit mineable high-grade ores.

In addition, there are 30 billion tons of crude oil, 2 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, and 20 billion tons of liquefied petroleum gas reserves.

In addition to the coveted minerals, it is also rich in natural resources, with 30% of the country's land covered by forests, about 200 million hectares of natural forest (two-thirds of which are eucalyptus) and 1.22 million hectares of timber forest.

Australia is also very rich in fishery resources, with 16% more fishing area than the land area, and is the third largest fishing area in the world, with more than 3,000 species of marine and freshwater fish and more than 3,000 species of crustacean and mollusc aquatic products.

Don't forget what Wen Deji did in his old business, he has been coveting this continent for a long time. In the face of such a rich resource production area, of course, he must firmly control it in his own hands.

With so many benefits, he will never let go of this opportunity.

Of course, the same is true for the United States, they will definitely support Australia and New Zealand, but now they can't really turn their faces with China for the sake of Australia and New Zealand. Because for the United States, Europe is the focus, and although there is now another enemy in Europe, the Third International, but this is nothing to the United States. If they can use Australia and New Zealand to drag China for a few years, they will be free from Europe.

Boyi Province, Keling City. South Pacific Military District Command.

The city of Keling is Jakarta, and the current name is taken from the ancient name of the place, "Heling". It is the capital of Pai Province and the headquarters of the South Pacific Military Region of the Army and Air Force, and the headquarters of the Navy's Nanyang Military Region is located in the nearby Port of Coconut City (Jakarta Harbor District, known as "Coconut City").

The South Pacific Military Region and the Annam Military Region are mainly responsible for the task of "protecting overseas Chinese" this time, with the former in charge of Australia and New Zealand and the latter in charge of Malaya. Malaya's military strength is not worth mentioning at all, so Australia and New Zealand are the focus of this operation.

At this time, the military region headquarters was holding a joint meeting of the services, and the generals of the four branches of the military in the area had arrived, and the army commander presided over the meeting in accordance with the past practice, and the army was the big brother.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when World War II broke out, Australia followed Britain in declaring war on Germany on August 18, 39, when Australia had only 80,000 troops, including 70,000 militiamen. Because before World War II, Australia had been playing isolationism, with little sense of national defense, and their army had always been composed mainly of civic armed forces, that is, militias, with a limited number of regular troops. Lieutenant General Lu Siyuan, chief of staff of the Military Region, gave a briefing.

"But by now, they've mobilized nearly 600,000 people to fight the war. However, at the moment there is no regular army on their home soil, and they now have five divisions of regular troops, three of which are in North Africa and two in Malaya. The five divisions of the home garrison were all militia, and from March they formed four more divisions to guard against our ......"

"The Australian Navy has 1 battleship, 2 heavy cruisers, 4 light cruisers, 7 destroyers, 5 submarines, and a number of torpedo boats and gunboats...... The Air Force has about 300 aircraft, including 160 fighters, all of which are obsolete models and all propeller aircraft......"

Lu Siyuan introduced it with a smile, and all the generals present showed silent smiles.

Because the kangaroo is too weak, it's just to brush up on your own record, can you not be happy to pick up cheap things?.

General Yi Damao, commander of the military region, said: "Ladies and gentlemen, do not underestimate the enemy, although Australia and New Zealand lack national strength, their combat effectiveness of officers and men should not be underestimated!" He had observed in Europe during World War I, and he still had a very impressive impression of this army.

This is really not his bragging, the Australian barbarians are not afraid of death, their morale is high, and they are called ruthless in hand-to-hand combat, and the two German sons cry and call their mothers.
