"Dear Your Majesty the Emperor? This is the first time I've seen you since you became the emperor. This is really not easy!" Cyril observed Liu Yiming's office, but nothing changed.

"Oh! In fact, according to our tradition, I will ascend the throne next year, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should have informed you and the UK." Liu Yiming nodded to Cyril.

"So, Mr. Cyril, I heard that you insist on seeing me? And you are not willing to wait."

Cyril's mouth twitched. The reception process he started to go through in December last year was only passed in March this year. Does this mean he doesn't want to wait?

"Your Majesty! We are a little interested in the agreement you reached with the French." Cyril looked at Liu Yiming sincerely.

Liu Yiming suddenly straightened up, avoided Cyril's gaze, and looked out the window: "What agreement? No! We have not reached any secret agreement with France."

"Your Majesty! The British will never accept it. There are French allies stationed next to Malacca!" Cyril exploded.

"I have already said that there is no secret agreement." Liu Yiming had a smile hidden in his eyes.

"You promise?" Cyril asked.

"With my conscience!" Liu Yiming nodded, very sincerely.

Cyril doesn’t believe in conscience. Do you expect professional politicians to have conscience? Ha! Then you are wrong. They are only slightly better than capitalists.

"Your Majesty, Britain hopes to receive the transfer of airship technology." Cyril sat on the chair, "and hopes not to transfer this technology to some dangerous countries."

"Come on Cyril, Germany has already made it. Although it is a little behind, this technology is not unique to Nanhua. If you want to exchange it with technology, we will accept it." Liu Yiming motioned to his secretary to pour him a cup of tea.

"Has Germany already done it?" Cyril stared deeply at Liu Yiming.

"Don't look at me like this. You know, the Germans have a narrower vision. They just focus on their broken islands. If I close the Java Sea, he can't even sail through the Java Sea. There is no way I can sell it to him!" Liu Yiming!

It means something.

"Your Majesty, your attitude towards the land reminds me of the Tsar. You will definitely become friends." Cyril stabbed him in a neutral tone.

"Just for the airship? It's just a large balloon. As long as you pay, I can sell it." Liu Yiming picked up the teacup and refused to drink.

"Your Majesty! Nanhua and France are too close! This will cause misunderstandings in the British Empire!" Cyril straightened his waist and said seriously.

"Oh! Cyril, Nanhua is undergoing strategic contraction. I have done many wrong things in the past. I am now trying to make up for my mistakes. Nanhua will not easily join in any disputes." Liu Yiming said.

"Is this your promise? Your Majesty." Cyril pursued the victory.

"You can think so." Liu Yiming nodded.

Although Britain and France have a feud, the fundamental conflict between the two sides is not big. France's interests are concentrated in Africa and Southeast Asia, while Britain's interests are not concentrated. The sun never sets on the empire.

But France will not threaten India, and is an important part of the strategy to maintain continental balance - to contain the increasingly powerful France.

Britain's focus was on Tsarist Russia, to stop Tsarist Russia from exploring the sea, to stop Tsarist Russia from peeking into India, in short, not to give Tsarist Russia a chance to expand.

"I heard from the grapevine that the Japanese are selecting a secret envoy to visit South China? Your Majesty, I have to remind you that secret diplomacy is improper!" Cyril picked up another thing.

"Oh! I really didn't expect this incident to alarm the UK... I just need to discuss the fishing area with Japan. They always fish across the border. If this continues, I'm afraid the fishermen will angrily attack Japanese fishing boats." Liu Yiming

He took a sip of tea.

Cyril's mouth twitched, "No matter what..."

"Look, Sir, you don't pay attention to this at all. In fact, many fishermen are residents of the Construction Corps. The Construction Corps is a semi-military unit with standard weapons.

Last month, fishermen attacked with 762mm infantry artillery in Ryukyu. Fortunately, they did not encounter Japanese fishing boats." Liu Yiming said seriously.

"Nanhua's next tone is peace, which is why I chose to escape instead of increasing troops in Ryukyu."

Cyril didn't know whether to believe such a shocking thing. The fishing boat carrying the 762mm out to sea always felt a bit familiar (it's just an old tradition of the Gru-Saxons).

"Since the United States is firmly opposed to Japan sending a secret envoy, this plan has been shelved. I believe they will issue a formal diplomatic announcement soon and hope to have face-to-face talks with Nanhua. I believe that the normalization of relations between the two countries will be a great opportunity for the whole world.

Good thing." Cyril began to deflect fire.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Liu Yiming believed it anyway: "In that case..."

"Your Majesty, the Qing Empire forwarded a telegram to the Japanese government, hoping to negotiate on the Ryukyu Islands issue." Secretary Wang opened the door and hurriedly said.

"Cyril, look, who is destroying the peace?" Liu Yiming glanced at the telegram and threw it to Cyril.

"Oh! It's normal to have disputes. Besides, they are all Japanese..." Cyril did not continue because Liu Yiming pulled open the world map behind him.

"Order! A total of six destroyer squadrons, 1st, 4th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th, totaling 36 destroyers and eight torpedo boat squadrons, will be mobilized to Ryukyu. The Xianyang will go north to Ryukyu and stand by, and the cruiser fleet will go to the Hawaii Naval Base to stand by." Then.

Liu Yiming turned around and looked at Cyril.

"What did you say? Sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now. By the way, in order to protect the Japanese from possible sneak attacks on the Port of Medan, I need to send a destroyer squadron to station." Liu Yiming pointed to the location of Malacca.

"The British Empire does not allow Nan Hua to increase its garrison in Malacca!" Cyril said angrily: "And how come you have also learned the French trick? The Green Water Sect is a heresy!"

"We built our navy based on the idea of ​​homeland defense. We only have more than a hundred destroyers. If we replaced it with ten battleships, don't you think this would be a provocation to Britain?" Liu Yiming said in an innocent tone.

"For example, Japan, whose citizens are living in dire straits, insists on maintaining a fleet of six battleships and plans to expand its cruisers. It's obvious who is the unstable factor, isn't it?" The tone was slightly mocking.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say you were negotiating with Japan with the concept of peace?" Cyril took a while to recover.

"Ryukyu is a sacred and indivisible part of South China!" Liu Yiming read this sentence like a poem in an aria.

"There are no Japanese there, only Chinese, Ryukyus, and a small number of ethnic groups, all from South China."

"I understand. I will tell the Japanese government that you don't have to be so drastic." Cyril really had a headache.

Once a war breaks out, at such a close distance, Nanhua can force the Japanese to fight decisively. With thousands of destroyers and torpedo boats, God knows how Japan can stop it.

"Cyril, South China has a deep traditional friendship with the British Empire. In the past ten years, both sides have a deep foundation in trade and strategic cooperation. I even thought about our alliance; but the British approach is really deeply rooted in It hurts the people of Nanhua." Liu Yiming started to play the emotional card.

"This is just a misunderstanding. Your Majesty, you know that we cannot oppose the decision made by the Prime Minister. Our two years of diplomatic efforts can be completely destroyed by the Prime Minister in just one meal..." Cyril vomited bitterly. .

"Let's talk about this later! Cyril, Nanhua will not go against the British Empire, but we are tired of the war. We need time to rest and don't want to be involved in any more disputes! The various agreements signed with the French... will not affect the British !" Liu Yiming said sincerely.

Cyril was dubious, but Britain still did what it should do.

At the end of March, Japan and the United States signed a silk trade agreement, exchanging raw silk for cotton.

In early April, three very large textile factories were completed in Japan. The machinery was bought from the UK and was borrowed in pounds sterling.

In mid-April, Japanese special envoy Saito Ichiro arrived in Nanhua.

In early March, Lord Roberts repulsed Ladysmith's Boers. In the middle of March, a British army group of 11 infantry divisions, one cavalry division, and 250,000 men invaded the Orange Free State.

After Bloemfontein was intensively bombarded, the British army captured it easily. The Boers lost 3,000 people and the British army lost more than 100 people.

"Sir! Your talent is incredible!" The Chief of Staff praised Lord Roberts' tactics, and the artillery concentrated to cover the infantry advance.

"I learned this in the Luzon Islands. The South Chinese used naval cannons to cover their armies like this." Roberts smiled.

"You are right, Orange was lost!" Franco sat on the side of the road in a depressed mood.

"Stand up, you are the commander of this army, no matter what, you can't fall!" Wang Tinghan gave him a kick.

"Everyone is confused, what can I do?" Franco said in confusion.

"Secure the next stronghold and kill more British people." Wang Tinghan shrugged.

"That's what war is like, you kill me, I'll kill you, until one side dies or surrenders. The winner takes all, the loser gets nothing, it's worthless." Wang Tinghan noticed that many people were paying attention to this.

"I know that everyone hates war, but the war has already started. If we surrender now, why should we go to war? To witness the death of our friends with our own eyes?" Wang Tinghan deceived this group of people who had never gone to school.

"We have to understand a truth! Even if we have to surrender, it will be after we have completed our revenge, and we have not lost! The Transvaal is still resisting, and President Orange established a new capital.

Even if it is captured again, we can still build the next one! And the next one! As long as we don't give up resistance! We have not lost!" Wang Tinghan's statement made the crowd talk.

"Then what should we do?" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Good question! Look what we have done in the past half month?" Wang Tinghan asked.

"We attacked six convoys and killed at least two hundred British people!" a big man with a red neck said to the people next to him.

"There are still seven strongholds. Marshall died during an attack on the strongholds." A thin young man said.

"Don't be sad young man, we killed four hundred British guys." An old man next to him consoled him.

"Yes! There are hundreds of Indians? A thousand?" a child who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old added.

"And there are us! We joined in the middle, and we now have two thousand people!" said a group of people with different equipment.

"We don't just have these people, we also have many wounded. We are running out of medicine." A man holding an 1888 rifle said.

"The same goes for ammunition, and my barrel has been corroded and needs to be replaced, but there are no parts. I should have gotten some last time." A man holding a Lee Enfield added.
