"Misunderstanding? I don't think there is any misunderstanding here. I have a telegram just sent back by the Chinese Consul General in Manila. The surviving sailors on the Tianan and the divers of the Russian Far East Fleet have conducted an underwater investigation of the Tianan and determined that the external There is no doubt that there will be an explosion, and judging from the power of the explosion, it will definitely not be less than fifty kilograms of antimony. This kind of antimony cannot be obtained by the Philippine resistance elements. Only the Russian garrison has this kind of expensive military antimony. medicine.
Although I don’t understand why, the occurrence of such a thing really chills me. Because of the nearly twenty years of friendship with Her Majesty Queen Alexandra, I have always had sincere goodwill towards Russia and I have tried my best in this war. I will do my best to help Russia. If there are no weapons, I can supply them to them regardless of the reputational damage caused by violating the principle of neutrality. I will give them whatever they want, tanks, planes, artillery, even my own army is not equipped. New weapons are given priority to the Russian army. If the Russian government's funds are insufficient, I can even provide loans without hesitation. No guarantee is required. All I need is a word from Her Majesty Queen Alexandra. A loan of one billion yuan will be exchanged. It's enough gold to sink a destroyer.
But what do the Russians give me in return now?
It's a bomb!
My heart is almost broken. I really don’t understand why my goodwill cannot be exchanged for the same goodwill. Now the bomb is blowing up my soldiers. Should the bomb fall on my head next time?” Emperor Yang Just like the leading actor in a Qiong Yao love story, he sat on his dragon chair and said with grief and indignation.
The ambassadors of Britain, France and Russia in front of him looked at each other in astonishment. They really didn't expect Emperor Yang to have such a face. Zhu Erdian said tentatively: "Your Majesty,"
Then his words were interrupted by Yang Feng raising his hand.
"Your Excellency, Ambassador, I am very confused right now. I want to be alone for a while. As for the Tianan ship, I don't want to deal with it anymore. Congress will make a decision. Come and send the three ambassadors out of the palace." Yang Fengwu He raised his head and said to Yuan Shikai with a melancholy expression.
Attendant Yuan immediately stepped forward and signaled Zhu Erdian and others to follow him out. The three guys followed him out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a daze before they remembered that they had only watched Emperor Yang's performance and hadn't even talked about the business! They had always been personal friends with Yuan Shikai. The good Zhu Erdian asked tentatively: "Your Majesty the Marquis, the Tian'an incident is indeed a tragedy, but I think even if it was done by the Russian garrison there, it cannot have anything to do with the Russian government. Do you also know that there are no incidents in Russia now?" Rebellious parties that are less supported by the Germans, including the Russian army, also have their secret organizations. There are certainly no such organizations in the Philippine garrison. These people have every motive to do so in order to sow discord between China and Russia, and they can also If enough is obtained, it would be really sad if there is a rift in the Sino-Russian friendship due to the instigation of these people."
"Your Majesty, Ambassador, I completely understand what you are saying, but you should also know the deep feelings between His Majesty and Queen Alexandra. Now that something like this happens, it is difficult for Your Majesty not to feel sad. Of course, if it is really a Russian rebel, Your Majesty will understand what you have done. However, it is also true that the Russian garrison in the Philippines is hostile to our citizens. Although the root cause is the issue of arms smuggling. But you should understand that smuggling cannot be truly done in any country as long as there is enough profit. Eradicated. Because the behavior of some unscrupulous businessmen offends all Chinese people, it is difficult to see the friendship between the Russians and the Chinese. Therefore, the root problem of the Philippines cannot be solved. Even if the Tianan incident is solved, it will be difficult for us to ensure that the There won't be a second Tian'an ship down there." Yuan Shikai said sincerely with the same smile.
This guy is also extremely shameless, and he has gotten to this point. He still doesn’t forget to fool Zhu Erdian and others!
The three ambassadors all expressed their full understanding of what Yuan Shichang said. They can now say that they got what they wanted. Basically, they are sure that Yang Feng is still playing the blackmail trick of crying wolf this time, and the target of the blackmail is Your Excellency the Shichang Shichang.
I have just said that it is the Philippines. In this case, there is nothing to worry about. The rest is nothing more than an exchange of interests between the two parties. Besides, under the current situation, it would be abnormal for the emperor not to take the last chance.
.
Unfortunately, what Zhu Erdian and others did not know was that just as they were leaving the Chinese Imperial Palace, two tightly sealed trains were rumbling out of a military base near Pyongyang, North Korea, heading northeast to Wonsan, with a total of
There are ten huge mysterious machines. Except for the soldiers who transport these things, no one knows what they are. If someone lifts the tarpaulin covering them, their jaws will fall to the ground in shock, because there is a machine with a caliber so large that it can
A heart-stopping super cannon.
At the same time, in the garrison camp near the distant Mongolian trading city, tiger chariots were also driving off the train transporting them. These steel beasts would serve as the main force of the raid and attack Ulan-Ude from here.
Further away in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, the huge fleet is making final preparations before setting sail. The first two marine divisions to land in Singapore have begun to board the ship.
While China's navy and army are waiting for danger, Britain, France and Russia are still unaware of the approaching danger. They are now earnestly persuading Russia to cede the Philippines to China. Of course, Russia will not cede it unconditionally. It is inevitable that it will do so after the war.
In terms of the distribution of profit colonies, they must make up for it from other places, which will inevitably overturn the previous distribution plan. The three families will inevitably have to argue again, and while they are arguing, time has passed quickly, and the forty-eight-hour deadline has arrived.
Of course, neither Britain, France nor Russia paid too much attention to the deadline of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The real master of this country is Yang Feng. This deadline is just an explanation to the people. But unfortunately this time they were wrong.
Forty-eight hours later, Xue Fucheng, Prime Minister of the Chinese Federation and Empire, formally submitted a bill to declare war on Russia to the Imperial Congress. Then, before the outside world could react, the Upper House of the Chinese Federation and Empire's Congress voted 90% in favor half an hour later.
The vote approved the declaration of war against Russia, and at the same time authorized His Majesty the Imperial Emperor to formally declare war. Only ten minutes later, Emperor Dianfeng of the Chinese Federation signed the edict of declaring war and stamped it with Fengtian Chengyun, which was recreated based on the historical original.
The jade seal of longevity and longevity.
The Federation Empire of China declares war on the Russian Empire.
This news was like an air hammer driven by compressed air, hitting the heads of state of the Allied Powers so hard that each one of them felt like they were vomiting blood. They really didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
An eighty-degree turn. Even after hearing the news, the first reaction of the heads of state, including Nicholas, was that they had made a mistake. However, the imperial edict declaring war on Russia read out by Emperor Yang himself on the People's Radio was completely
shattered their illusions.
Then the bad news continued to come. After declaring war on Russia, Xue Fucheng once again submitted to Congress as Prime Minister a declaration of war on all members of the Allied Group on the grounds that having an alliance treaty between the countries of the Allied Powers Group would definitely help Russia.
motion, and then the same procedure was repeated. Emperor Yang once again solemnly announced the second edict through the radio, declaring war on the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth countries, France, Italy, Portugal, the United States of America, and Chile.
Even those who are slow to react at this point will understand that China's series of performances before this, including the embargo on military supplies to the Allies, instigating the British to land in Germany, and even the loans to the Russians, are all completely free.
The smoke screen creates the illusion that China will definitely join the Allied Powers, urging the Allied Powers to continue fighting with the Allied Powers until all their own blood is drained. At this time, China can easily seize the entire East.
At this moment, many people were almost crying, including British Prime Minister Bannerman. You must know that after completing the landing in Cuxhaven, the British army had already captured Bremerhaven and Stade, and the forward was not far enough from Hamburg.
Twenty kilometers away, although the entire German army in the Netherlands had arrived, under the attack of the British army with nearly twice the advantage, they could not effectively build a defense line in a hurry, so they could only retreat to the two cities of Hamburg and Bremen to prepare for street battles.
At the same time, the second batch of 100,000 British troops also began to arrive.
However, the German reinforcements will not arrive for at least two more days, and there is only one army group that is not full of personnel. However, the British still have 100,000 people waiting for the return of the transport ship. In addition, North America has sent another army, and the same
It can be put into the German battlefield. It can be said that winning Hamburg and Bremen is a sure thing. Next, there is more than 70% hope of going straight to Berlin.
But now, can we continue to fight now?
To fight, we must capture Berlin before the Chinese arrive to force William to end the war, and then withdraw and gather the entire Allied Powers group to work together to fight China. We do not expect to defeat China. As long as we can show enough strength to make Yang Feng retreat, then we can use
Peace talks and exchange of benefits will solve the remaining problems. Based on their understanding of Yang Feng, it is impossible for this guy to fight them to the death.
If the war in Europe cannot be ended before Chinese reinforcements arrive, then the result is needless to say, the Allies will be completely defeated, Britain and Russia will be better off, and things like France and Italy will have no choice but to be slaughtered by others.
But if we don't fight, the result will still be a complete failure, and we will still be at the mercy of others, including the British colonies in the Far East and the Pacific, and Russia's east of Lake Baikal. These places will definitely be ceded to China. At most, Britain can keep India and Australia.
In this case, losing would be too miserable. (To be continued...)
