The Chinese team's victory in the Southeast Asian battlefield was reflected on the negotiating table. Faced with the aggressive attitude of the Chinese government, the British government showed abnormal weakness and repeatedly demanded that the Chinese government stop military operations, and everything was easy to discuss. Even the United States, Russia, and France suggested that the war be stopped immediately and that China and Britain should negotiate.

The Chinese government has not made a clear statement about the various suggestions of Western countries, and its attitude has always been vague. This attitude is combined with the actions of the Chinese team to occupy Singapore and the Malay Peninsula. In the eyes of Western countries, it means that the Chinese still want to continue fighting and gain greater benefits through war.

Faced with the military pressure of the Chinese government, the British government has demanded negotiations internationally, while it has begun to prepare for a big war. The entire UK and all colonies have entered a comprehensive preparation for war. Although the current domestic state and economic form of Britain do not allow the British to fight, how could the old-fashioned power of Britain keep putting China on its head and not fighting back?

In Beijing, a special meeting was underway, and almost all the top figures in the military and political circles attended the meeting.

The meeting was chaired by Prime Minister Zhang Jian. After a brief summary of the meeting, Minister of Defense Liu Mingchuan took the lead in speaking.

"According to statistics, our troops do not have enough supplies to carry out the next major battle. The entire naval mixed fleet is only one base shell left, and more than half of our ace submarines have only carried two torpedoes. In this case, I would like to ask the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Industry, how is your situation? To put it bluntly, now the British will just organize a large fleet to fight. Our navy will be completely finished."

Minister of Industry Fang Ming immediately stood up and defended: "His Excellency President, Prime Minister, and colleagues, everyone should know clearly that although our country's industry has developed greatly in the past decade, we have also seen that the fastest development of our country's industry is the civil industry, and we have not made great progress in the development of military industry and large-scale production. Yes, we have produced many advanced and excellent weapons, but the low output of these weapons is determined by the current military industry capabilities.

Take submarines as an example. We built the first submarine three years ago, but until now, we only own thirty submarines in total. Many of the submarine's techniques are currently incomparable to most shipyards.

The production speed of new rifles and machine guns, as well as new howitzers and cannons is not fast. In ten years, we have only equipped three divisions in total. It’s not that we can’t build them, but that new rifles and machine guns are too expensive. The existing military enterprises cannot afford such consumption at all." Fang Ming sat back on his seat after speaking in a quiet voice.

It was the Ministry of Transportation’s turn to speak. Tang Yanshu, the shy boy in Japan, was now a senior government official. He stood up calmly, smiled at Yang Yi and Zhang Jian, and nodded to everyone, and then spoke slowly.

"This battle against Southeast Asia can be a major test for our transportation department. When the President issued an emergency combat order, we assembled 1,000 civilian ships at the first time, with a total tonnage of more than 1.85 million and 300 tons. But I tell you that the total tonnage of these ships is three-quarters of the total of all ships in our country. You should understand. That's it, our transportation power cannot allow our soldiers in front of us to get enough supplies and ammunition, and our opponent, the United Kingdom, once the country enters the national mobilization, the tonnage of the ships they can concentrate will be three times or even more than ours. What I want to say is that the battlefield is now in Asia and in our South China Sea. If we attack the Indian Ocean, what will the result be? Everyone should be clear."

The speeches of the three ministers calmed everyone down. The war not only fought against weapons and equipment, but also fought against comprehensive national strength. China started late. In terms of comprehensive national strength, we are far from comparable to European powers. This is a must-have understanding.

Yang Yi knew about the above situation a few days ago. This is also the reason why the Chinese team did not immediately launch an attack on the Malay Peninsula after occupying the Philippines. Although the Chinese team has an advantage in weapons, the role of this advantage is not very continuation. The Chinese team's supplies and supply are far from enough to support a huge war machine.

After everyone was quiet for a long time, Yang Yi finally spoke: "Everyone must have read the newspapers for the past few days. The remarks in the newspapers require our army to continue fighting and fight the British out of Asia. I have a responsibility for this. What I want to tell you is that the current war is just an exercise for China, an exercise of the comprehensive capabilities of the national military power after the general mobilization of the entire country. Through this battle, there are many problems that arise, such as we are in Singapore. It is entirely possible that we can avoid the solid fortifications of Singapore fortresses, but we cannot do so. Why?

The first is that our commanders are blindly optimistic, and the second is that our intelligence department is not doing a meticulous job. Only by knowing our opponents can we win a hundred battles, and this must be improved in the future. I dare say that in twenty years, at most twenty years, a large-scale war will break out in this world, and we must be prepared to welcome the arrival of this war.

Several wars have told us that only by walking ahead of the world can we avoid being passively beaten. This time we win, and the next time I hope to win is still us.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, draft a negotiation condition as soon as possible, and it is time for us to grind the nagging with the British."

Yang Yi's speech ended the brief and efficient meeting.

The Chinese finally agreed to the negotiations, and the entire Europe and the entire country that entered the capitalist stage breathed a sigh of relief. The British were glad that they had a chance to breathe, and the Americans were glad that they had a chance to catch up with China quickly.

After the news of the armistice negotiations came, the Taigo Post published a commentary on the war. The article pointed out that the whole of Europe and the world must clearly see a fact that a powerful China has appeared in the eyes of the world. If it is considered a coincidence and the luck of the Chinese people to defeat the two coalition forces more than ten years ago, it is considered a coincidence and the luck of the Chinese people, then this time we have to admit that China has used the fact that it wiped out the East Indian Ocean and Eastern Pacific fleets of the British Empire to tell us that China has now become a powerful country in the world, and in military terms, the Chinese are at the forefront of the world.

The London Morning Post published an commentary article saying: "Why did we fail? Why did the British Royal Navy, which was invincible for three hundred years, fail? Are they not brave? Is it the years of victory that eroded their fighting spirit? No, our Royal Navy soldiers were loyal and brave enough, and they fought to the last moment. They fired the last bullet, but we still failed. Why? The only explanation is that we were behind and we were left behind by the Chinese."

All kinds of self-reflective and critical articles filled the speech of the whole of Britain. A few days later, the Taigoshi Post published another article that shocked Europe, "What have the Chinese done in these thirty years?" The article started in 1840. After the Chinese were forced to open the country, after ten years of painful reflection, some knowledgeable people clearly saw the gap between China and the world's advanced countries, especially the President of China, His Excellency Yang Yi, who raised funds in these 20 years and sent a large number of overseas studies to Europe.

Students, in the past twenty years, you can see the Chinese working tirelessly and hard-working to study on any famous European and American university campus. According to incomplete statistics, in the past twenty years, China has poached nearly one million talents from Europe and the Americas with high salaries. Among them are scientists, inventors, teachers from schools, and skilled technicians in factories. What does this mean? It means that our government departments ignore the loss of talents, which is a dereliction of duty, a serious dereliction of duty, and a serious crime.

This article is like a heavyweight **, which makes European and American countries faint. In twenty years, the Chinese have taken away so many people. What does these talents mean? All European countries understand it very well.

All European and American countries and the United States have responded quickly. For all those who apply to go to China, no matter what they do, they must first check the 18th generation of their ancestors, so as not to not come back if they go.

Europe and the United States also clearly saw the power of submarines after this war. Because there was no advanced anti-submarine force, a powerful naval formation was forced to hide in the military port, which was simply a humiliation. All countries have also begun to increase the production and development of submarines and increase the development of anti-submarine weapons.

After the first defeat of China, Western countries discovered the power of the Chinese heavy machine guns. In the past ten years, they tried every means to produce machine guns and mortars. In this war, they saw the Chinese team's leading position in individual weapons. The huge advantages shown by the new automatic rifles and semi-automatic rifles are difficult for British soldiers holding single-shot rifles to resist.

The whole West is reflecting on itself. With Europe's strong industrial production capacity, it is not difficult to catch up with China in a short period of time. Although the Chinese government is not willing to see all this, some things cannot be changed at all. The Chinese government has to do a lot, vigorously develop the domestic economy, develop civil industry, military industry, develop navies, and develop more advanced land warfare weapons.

The negotiations with Britain were soon in progress, and the British were forced to give up all the colonies east of Malacca and compensate the Chinese government for the war losses of 20 million pounds. This result was indecent for Britain, but in fact, Britain was still acceptable. Britain and the entire world needed time to recover and restore the wounds brought by this economic crisis, because the next economic crisis triggered another war, which would not be the size of the present.

The Chinese government proved its strength with a war with the world's most powerful countries. At the same time, it also brought China into the ranks of world-class powers. The end of the war brought a brief peace, and European and American powers began to concentrate on dealing with the economic crisis. All countries were like wounded hungry wolves, silently licking the wounds brought by the economic crisis in the dark.

The Germans soon entered militarism, a new capitalist power, unwilling to be uneven in the distribution of interests in the world, and began to have crazy armaments. Faced with the threat of their neighbors, Britain and France quickly responded, and the parliament quickly passed a resolution to increase military input. All phenomena show that peace is only temporary, and greater wars are threatening various countries. (After the Franco-Prussian War, France ended the imperial system and entered a democratic model)

After this victory, the people's trust in the government reached another level, and the People's Party's prestige in the country reached an unprecedented position, but the problem soon emerged. In a report by the China Times, the China Times revealed that some illegal businessmen and government officials used inferior cotton to produce medicinal cotton in the war between China and Britain, and used dead pigs and old sow meat to produce canned food to supply it to the troops, causing a large number of wounded people to worsen and die. After some troops ate canned food, the entire line of troops was poisoned and completely lost their combat effectiveness.

The commander-in-chief of the Navy Liu Yuan slapped the table for these things, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau also responded quickly. The relevant personnel were quickly arrested by the judicial department and awaiting trial. After hearing the news, Yang Yi said furiously: "These borers, the soldiers in front are bleeding and fighting hard, and they are making a fortune in the rear. These people have nothing to say, one word (kill), no matter what origin and origin he is, kill them before they are killed. All property will be confiscated."

With the in-depth investigation of these issues, more and more people were involved. Later, a huge group of people was dug up, which was not discovered in the anti-**p cleanup activity before the economic crisis.

The results of the investigation show that more than 30 relatives of government officials were involved, and seven of Yang Yi's wife were involved. The problem was so big that no one expected that the personnel of the Anti-Corruption Bureau were in a dilemma.

Yang Yi's attitude came out soon. All the people involved in the case were punished according to the actual situation and according to the law, and no one could escape the legal sanctions.

After this case, four of Yang Yi's relatives were shot dead in one breath, but Yang Yi personally gave it to him. The entire Yang family was also in a bleak state. The most favored concubine, Xie family, was executed three clan brothers at once, and one of Erya's cousins ​​was sentenced to lifelessness. There was no problem with the three sisters of Qi Hengbo, Xiaoyue, and Zhou Xiuying's family.

The anti-corruption campaign was over the president, and a group of people were killed and a group of so-called relatives were locked up, which made the people of the whole country clearly see the country's determination to fight the ***.

When China was at the forefront of the world, Japan also underwent earth-shaking changes. Just when the Chinese team fought fiercely with Britain, Japan's civil war also entered the **. In May 1876, the Japanese reformists took advantage of China's power to take care of the shogunate and launched a large-scale offensive against the shogunate troops in the Edo area. The shogunate, which had been betrayed by many relatives in Japan, came to an end.

On May 28, the shogunate army fought fiercely with the reformist coalition forces for three days. Some generals in the shogunate army were dissatisfied with the rule of the shogunate, and turned against each other. Thirty thousand shogunate troops were involved in the reformist camp. When things happened suddenly, the shogunate Tokugawa Iezon and the Chinese government could not react at all, and the civil war ended. After the defeat of Tokugawa Iezon was exiled to the distant Hokkaido, Japan finally established a constitutional monarchy system with the emperor as the supreme leader. After Emperor Meiji gained power, he immediately set the capital of Edo and changed the name to Tokyo.

Since Yang Yi's appearance in East Asia is no longer the same as in history, China's military intervention in Japan has also delayed Japan's reform by ten years. No matter how history changes, the general trend will not change much, and no one can change this. Any country and any nation are constantly exploring and developing itself.

After the establishment of the new Japanese government, the first thing was to send an envoy to China to express its friendship with China. Although Yang Yi was not satisfied with what happened in Japan, the reality could not be changed. Although it was very uncomfortable to be a ungrateful wolf by his side, China's main task at the moment was to face challenges from European and American powers, and Japan is now just a scabies. If China sends troops to attack Japan, the first thing is to do is to break into Wuming, and China's current domestic and international situation will not allow it.

History is always surprisingly similar. In addition to establishing friendly relations with China, Japan also requires the dispatch of overseas students to China. The various old treaties between Japan and China are still valid. One thing that the new Japanese government is very clear is that it must eliminate the Chinese government's hostility towards Japan. The Japanese envoys stayed in China for half a year, and they visited everywhere and humbly learned advanced experience from China.

Although there is no time to deal with Japan for the time being, the Chinese government and Japan have always maintained a superior and inferior relationship. Yang Yike did not take the reversal of history at all. The main task of the first fleet stationed in Ryukyu is to monitor and observe everything that happened in Japan.

In China, a new round of economic development boom has arrived. With the country's strong investment, the national arms industry has taken the lead in recovering. Factory buildings have sprung up, and a huge industrial base in the Northeast has been built, and new steel mills and new arsenals are constantly under construction. With the arms industry as the leader, other civil industries are also recovering rapidly. Southeast Asia's important strategic resources sources such as rubber and tin are constantly transported back to China. For these countries, the main purpose of China's occupation is to plunder resources.

The days of cultivating and resting peace pass quickly, while China is developing rapidly, Europe has also undergone tremendous changes. While Britain, France, and Germany are launching a crazy arms race, conflicts are also deepening. With the significant increase in economic and military power, Germany is no longer willing to surrender and begin to constantly provoke Britain and France.

As Germany's biggest enemy on the European continent, France was the first to be hit. The two countries formed a difficult relationship since the Napoleonic era. During the Franco-Prussian War, Germany was unified after the victory of the Prussians, but the enemies between Germany and France became even greater.

The conflict between Russia and Germany is also deepening. For the interests of the Balkans, the two sides fight and fight each other and refuse to give in. As the conflict between Russia and Germany deepens, Germany is worried that France and Russia will join forces to deal with him, win over the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Europe and Germany and form an alliance with it. On October 7, 1879, the German-Australia Alliance Treaty was signed in Vienna. The main content is that if one of the two countries is attacked by another country, the other party of the contracting party should adopt the allies.

Neutrality with good intentions, but if the attacking country is supported by Russia, the contracting parties should fight together until they are jointly settled. In order to completely isolate France on the European continent, Germany further instigated Italy to compete with France in North Africa. Italy coveted Tunisia for a long time, but its strength is not as strong as France, so it decided to throw itself into the arms of the German-Austrian alliance. However, Italy has been swaying left and right, bargaining everywhere, and it is just a matter of whether it is reliable. (In fact, it is unreliable)

With the alliance between Germany, Austria, Italy, and the three countries, France and Russia also began to send miss each other frequently. On September 20, 1885, the two countries secretly formed a military alliance and signed an agreement. On March 5, 1890, the two countries formally notified each other through letters, and the military agreement officially came into effect and the Allies were born.

With the rapid expansion of German power, the old empire Britain could no longer sit still and decided to give up the glorious tradition of isolation and began to move closer to Russia and France. On January 18, 1888, Britain officially joined the Allies, and the era of opposition between the two major European military groups finally emerged.

China and the United States, two powerful countries on another continent, have always been the targets of active wooing between the two major military alliances, especially China. China and Germany have always had good relations, which made the allies extremely worried, especially Russia. Once the European war begins, the Russians must always be wary of the Chinese people coming from the back of their own. Because of this, the Allies' attitude towards China is to show friendship. Several countries have had an unpleasant history with China, and they are a bit insulting. Because of the concern that China will turn to Germany, they turn a blind eye to China's crazy expansion in Asia. Basically, except for the British in India, the entire Asia is the world of Chinese.

In London, England, the Navy's minister's brows were frowned into the word "chuan", and the desktop was filled with various intelligence from the Chinese Navy. As the biggest imaginary enemy of the Royal Navy, the Chinese Navy's every move attracted much attention from the Royal Navy.

File number 00027007. On February 5, 1888, the Chinese naval battleship "Sunset" was launched. The ship's displacement reached 18,000 tons, equipped with 12 305mm main guns, the command tower and main turret armor thickness reached 400mm, and the speed was as high as 22 knots. Battleships of this level are simply sea devils. At present, only the Fearless Class battleships being built in Britain can compete with it.

Various intelligence reality. In the past three years, the increase in Chinese naval battleships has been astonishingly high. The battleship cruisers with displacement of more than 10,000 tons have increased by 10,000 tons, and nearly 30 destroyers and cruisers have also increased. Currently, China has large shipyards in Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin and Huludao. It is expected that by the end of next year, China will have four battleships equivalent to the Fearless Class battleships launched.

Looking at the information about the "Sunset" the expression on the Navy Minister's face became more and more serious. The "Sunset" is known as the "Empire of Sunset", which is clearly aimed at the Royal Navy. If this continues, the Chinese Navy can compete with the Royal Navy in a few years, instead of using a sinister weapon like a submarine.

Regarding the tension in Europe, the Chinese have been shouting that they should be restrained, calm and peaceful. But the most important thing in secretly expanding the military is China, but as far as the army is concerned, the size of China's permanent army reaches one million, and there are 500,000 heavy troops on the Sino-Russian border. No wonder the Russian Tsar kept complaining: "It's too painful to have a neighbor like China, and you have to open your eyes when you sleep." Fortunately, in 1879, Britain, France and Russia joined forces to hand over the joint management of Xipaliya, otherwise the Tsar would not have had to make trouble.

The winter of 1888 was extremely cold for the Allied Powers. China sent its ocean-going fleet to Europe for the first time, and its target was Germany. The formation of "Sunset" was the flagship, two battlecruisers and six other warships, was magnificent and magnificent, and was sent out of the Strait of Malacca, crossed the Suez Canal, crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, and even took a walk from the English Channel, before finally reaching Germany. When the Chinese fleet visited Germany, the Allied Powers were full of eyes and always focused on the subtleties of the relationship between China and Germany.

Fortunately, China and Germany did not sign any alliance. The Chinese fleet only came to Europe to show off its power under the banner of friendly visits and then turned to the United States. This made the Allies breathe a sigh of relief, but no one knew whether there was any secret agreement between China and Germany, and their hearts were still hanging in the air.

The visit of the Chinese fleet made the Germans very excited. It is an undeniable fact that the Chinese team is the world's largest soldier. The three countries in the agreement have fallen into the hands of the Chinese, especially Britain and Russia. The only pair of Indian underwear that Britain was run over by China in Asia. The Russians asked the Chinese to scrape off a large area of ​​territory. If it weren't for the help of Britain and France, Siberia would probably have the surname Zhong.

Unfortunately, the Chinese fleet refused to carry out joint military exercises with Germany, and China did not agree to form an alliance with Germany. But that's the case. The Germans were more confident in speaking in Europe and became more aggressive. At the same time, China's "Sunset" battleship was also a role model for Germany to imitate. With such a warship, what are you afraid of the British navy?

Americans are not welcome to the friendly visits of the Chinese fleet at all. Over the years, the Chinese have great ambitions on the ocean, and they wish that the entire Pacific Ocean is a swimming pool in China's own yard. For the islands in the Pacific, China has had many conflicts with the United States. However, even in this way, the US government and military still have to welcome the visits of the Chinese fleet. After all, everyone is still a friendly country on the surface, and China still gives American face in world affairs. They have repeatedly brought the United States to bully other countries. The visits of the Chinese fleet do not mean anything friendly, but rather a threat of force.

The US government has always been waiting and watching the conflicts between European powers. This is the same as China. Perhaps it is because of this that the Americans have shown friendship with the Chinese fleet. After all, this is an excellent opportunity for both sides to test each other.

History is surprisingly similar. China's rise did not change the ambitions of European powers. They have fought for the world and are now starting to compete in Europe. Will the world war break out?
