As the German Navy ordered four National Chu-class battleships and four DeFerm battlecruisers in China, the Chinese Navy itself placed an order with its own naval shipyard to start construction of two Chinese-class battleships, Beijing-class battleships and four Sea Dragon King-class battlecruisers.

During that year, the Chinese Royal Navy battleship had a Fearless Shame and Class battleship, serving as the Royal Navy Fleet flagship, and five Tianquan-class battlecruisers were also in the vast Pacific Ocean.

The original five Pangu-class battleships, two Wangshu-class heavy cruisers and two Feilian-class heavy cruisers have completed modern modifications, changing the original coal power system into a fuel power system. In this way, nine warships, which are already half-old, have once again sucked their remaining energy to serve the Fengguo Navy and carry out the task of defending China's maritime border, with the aura of veteran Huang Zhong!

The construction of fourteen main battleships at the same time brought the Chinese naval shipbuilding industry to its peak, and it was very stance comparable to the British naval shipbuilding industry.

However, a big tree attracts wind. China's actions shocked the British government, and the Herbert government immediately dissatisfied with China's large-scale shipbuilding for Germany!

No! He was furious and almost vomited blood!

To this end, British Prime Minister Herbert met with the Chinese ambassador to the UK several times and made strict negotiations, strongly protesting China's construction of King's battleships and Dovelang's battle cruisers for Germany. At the same time, the British Foreign Minister and the ambassador to China also put pressure on the Chinese Foreign Ministry to stop such actions that undermine Sino-British relations.

However, considering the huge profits of Germany's ship purchases and the joint effects of bringing hundreds of thousands of jobs to the people, as well as the political purpose of the Chinese government to instigate the arms race between the British and German naval forces, the Chinese government finally balanced the gains and losses, and the Emperor Qin cabinet rejected the British protest.

After the British government protested ineffectively, it immediately realized the crisis. As the data of the eight main ships built by China for Germany was kept confidential to the British Navy, the British Navy could not obtain exact information. The unknown of German warships caused the British Navy to be nervous.

Because the overall performance and combat power of the Jiahe-class battleships and the Tianquan-class battlecruisers built by China have always been open to the world to show off China's naval achievements. In this way, even if China does not join the naval arms race, it will have a strong deterrent to other countries.

Therefore, based on the understanding of China's naval industry over the years, the warships built for itself this time will definitely target suppressing British warships. The King-class battleships and De Fringer-class battlecruisers built for Germany are also only targeted for British Orion-class battleships and Lion-class battleships.

"The Chinese must be stopped immediately! Otherwise, the empire will be dragged into a greater abyss of arms race!"

British Prime Minister Herbert undoubtedly understood the true purpose of the Chinese, and used to secretly instigate Britain and Germany to engage in a large-scale naval arms race.

Now, when Britain crushed the German naval industry with its huge naval industrial capabilities in one fell swoop, intending to defeat the confidence of the German navy and ended this money-burning arms race, the Chinese were forced to transform from secretly instigating to helping directly and fighting against Britain head-on.

Subsequently, the British Parliament passed a complete ban on the export of technology and accessories required for naval warships to China, and canceled the Sino-British joint military exercise originally scheduled for July, and Sino-British relations instantly fell to ice.

However, the British approach did not affect China. In more than ten years, China has been able to rely on itself. The naval industry is as large as a millimeter main gun, oil-fired boiler, steam turbine unit, and a screw connected to the coconut on it. China has been able to produce it independently and absorb the technology of the world, forming China's own intellectual property rights.

Zhang Yunfei's vision directly led to the Chinese Navy's strategic leadership, and even the powerful Britain could not catch up.

Seeing that this trick didn't work, the British had to think of other ways to sanction China.

As early as after the signing of the British-French Agreement, Britain and Russia also began to get closer.

Britain and Russia had conflicts of interest in the Near East, Central Asia and Far East. But at this time the naval arms race between Britain and Germany made the development of the conflict between Britain and Russia.

The conflict between Russia, Germany, Austro-Hungary in the Near East and the Balkans also surpassed the contradiction between Russia and Britain. Therefore, it has become possible to resume dialogue between Britain and Russia.

At this moment, when China began to help Germany, Britain had no time to take care of China's provocative behavior, so it could only find other forces to restrain China.

On August 3, 2017, Russian Foreign Minister Izpalisky and British Ambassador to Russia Nicholson signed an agreement to divide the colonies in Petersburg. The main contents: First, Godin Persia is the sphere of influence in the southeast of Iran, and the north is the sphere of influence in Russia. The region between the two is outside its own sphere of influence and promised Britain to take charge of Afghanistan's diplomacy. The UK stated that it would not change the country's political status.

Finally, it is also the most ruthless. Britain and Russia respect Tibet's territorial integrity and must not interfere in its internal affairs. They can only negotiate with it through the Chinese government's intermediary.

Tibet has been China's sacred territory since ancient times. The terms of the agreement on Tibet are a rough infringement of China's sovereignty. The British, French Agreement and the British-Russian Agreement, together with the French-Russian Alliance, formed the "Three-Country Agreement" or "All-Alliance Alliance". All must have been shocked by the British approach. Originally, Zhang Yunfei knew that it was normal for Britain to talk to each other or improve relations, and even the signing of the British and Russian agreement did not surprise Zhang Yunfei.

However, the UK actually brought out the Tibet issue and talked to Russia, which made Zhang Yunfei very

anger.

Subsequently, the Emperor and Qin government established Yuan Biao Declaration. Tibet is China's sacred and inviolable territory. Britain and Russia openly included Tibet in the agreement between the two countries, which was a provocation to the rights of China's concubines. The Chinese government and people firmly refused to agree.

Then, the Imperial and Qin government issued a note to the British and Russian ambassadors to China and made solemn representations to the two countries. At the same time, the Chinese ambassador to the UK and the ambassador to Russia also strongly protested to the British and Russian governments, and warned the two governments that violations of China's sovereignty and integrity are dangerous and that all consequences will be borne by Britain and Russia.

Britain originally wanted to anger China, unite with Russia to put pressure on China, give China a sense of oppression, force China to surrender to Britain and stop naval aid to Germany.

However, the British did not understand the principles of their own people's affairs. In terms of sovereignty, the British touched Zhang Yunfei's reverse scale.

Subsequently, the Chinese government announced that it would unilaterally terminate the alliance with the UK, completely abolish the treaty with the UK, and put forward a claim for sovereignty over the Hong Kong Island, and ordered the UK to return the Hong Kong Island.

The British seemed to think that China was playing with a childish temper and had to give China a little color. The day after China announced these actions, the British government announced that it would terminate the Sino-British Military Alliance Treaty and refused to return the Hong Kong Island. Sino-British relations suddenly became tense.

In October of the year, it was already a cold and cold season in Tibet. However, under this season, the Chinese Western Xinjiang Military Region held a large-scale military exercise, with a total of 330,000 troops of the Chinese Royal 6th Army conducting circular maneuver training throughout Xinjiang, Tibet and Yigui borders.

Such a huge military mobilization is the largest military mobilization of China since the end of the Sino-Russian War. Its significance is self-evident, and it is to deter the enemy who dares to provoke China. Military exercises have been continuously continued. On the borders of the British colonies India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Afghanistan, and Russia, you can see groups of fully armed Chinese teams patrolling every day, with gunfire roaring and fighter jets hovering in the sky, and a murderous intent.

At the same time, the Southern Military Region assembled 150,000 troops to Guangzhou and visited Hong Kong Island. The Royal Navy Pacific Fleet blocked the coast of Guangdong and blocked the British Navy Hong Kong Fleet in the Bay of Hong Kong.

War is imminent!

China's military operations are undoubtedly aimed at Britain and Russia! For this reason, Britain and Russia have to send troops to guard the border, which is very meaningful to go to war with China.

Will China go to war with Britain and Russia? The British said the Chinese dare not! The Russians said they were uncertain. However, the Germans then stood up and said, "We support all China's military operations!"

The Germans stood up because they wanted China to join the allies.

In November, while China was in a tense confrontation with the UK and Russia, Germany publicly issued a statement condemning the immoral behavior of Britain and Russia infringing on China's sovereignty. It also directly appealed to China, hoping that China would join the Allies Group.

Germany's statement made Zhang Yunfei feel relieved. In fact, he just wanted to scare the British and Russians. He would not go stupid to go to war with Britain and Russia. At this moment, Germany undoubtedly gave Zhang Yunfei room to maneuver.

So, Zhang Yunfei immediately sent Foreign Minister Liang Cheng and several cabinet members to Germany for formal state affairs, Chiang asked, and negotiated with the German government on whether China would join the allies.

Of course, China will not really join the Allies, it is just for the British and Russians to see.

Sure enough, the high-profile actions of the Chinese government scared Britain and Russia. The first to compromise was Russia. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly met with the Chinese ambassador to Russia, expressing concerns about China sending a strong lineup to visit Germany. Then, the Russian ambassador to China met with Chinese emperor Zhang Yunfei, saying that Russia does not want China to join the allies, and claims that Russia has no intention of China and Tibet, which is purely wishful thinking of the British, and Russia is willing to abolish the part of the British-Russian Agreement.

Zhang Yunfei was naturally willing to negotiate with the Russians, so Zhang Yunfei said that China and Russia have lived in peace for six years. The Russian East and West Siberia region occupied by China is to prevent another war between China and Russia. Once China and Russia have a long-term peace, China will consider returning it to Russia.

Although the Russians do not believe that what Zhang Yunfei said is the truth, it is a very good explanation to the people, so I thank Zhang Yunfei for his peace and kindness.

In order to appease Russia, Zhang Yunfei ordered the second-class battleship Alexander II displayed in the Chinese Naval Museum to return it to Russia to ease Sino-Russia relations.

Russia is constantly worried about domestic and foreign troubles, its national strength is weak, and it has to face the pressure of Germany's arms race. It is really unwilling to see China and Germany form a military alliance. In that case, Russia will face a catastrophe when it is strong on both sides.

Therefore, Russia happily accepted China's goodwill. After the meeting, the Emperor Qin government signed the Sino-Russia Treaty of Good Neighborliness and Friendship with the Russian government. Both sides are not allowed to place troops on their respective borders and open up bilateral border trade.

I just signed an agreement with Russia, but in a blink of an eye, I was kicked by the Russians! The British were both angry and hated!

However, Britain saw a serious problem from Russia's weakness, that is, the old empire of Russia is really old. Under China's aggressive and outstanding momentum, the British government had to compromise with China in order to prevent China from 8 allies.

However, at this moment, China has abolished all unequal treaties with Britain and has taken the opportunity to play the "German card" and bargained with Britain on the Hong Kong issue.

For this reason, the British government had to send Prime Minister Herbert to visit China and talk to the Qin government of Emperor Feng.

"Hong Kong Island is China's territory, and we have the right to return our own land!" Chinese government cabinet Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi said to Herbert righteously.

Herbert replied: "You ceded Hong Kong Island to us in the UK, so I cannot agree to your request!"

Tang Shaoyi sneered: "You British people can surrender to the Qing government and cede Hong Kong Island to you in a humble manner! But that is an unequal treaty, that is an invasion! Our imperial government does not recognize all unequal treaties from the previous dynasty."

Herbert's face looked ugly. Tang Shaoyi called the warship of the British Empire a broken ship and a cannon. He was naturally very angry. However, at the negotiating table, the most taboo thing is anger, because that would make him lose his judgment and let his opponent take advantage of the situation.

Xun returned to peace, Herbert smiled and said, "Without our help, you are still slaves to the Qing Dynasty. There will be no current Emperor Qin government! Therefore, you should thank us!"

Tang Shaoyi snorted coldly and said, "How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? If you want to persuade us to give up Hong Kong, then there is no need for us to talk again. I believe that the Imperial Sea 6 Air Force will restore Hong Kong within a few hours!"

Herbert angrily said, "Don't be too arrogant. You can get what you are today entirely thanks to the help of the British Empire! We can make you get it and you can lose everything. Please don't challenge the patience of the British Empire!"

Tang Shaoyi laughed and looked at Herbert coldly, saying, "So what if you challenge you? There are only more than a thousand defenders in Hong Kong. Just seven or eight broken ships!"

Herbert said: "Does Limen dare to start a war against the British Empire?"

"I dare not!" Tang Shaoyi answered very directly.

Herbert was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Since you know you don't dare, why do you still provoke the British Empire?"

"Do you dare to start a war with China?" Tang Shaoyi asked back.

Herbert was stunned. Will Britain dare to start a war against China? Of course, if Britain wants to start a war against China, Herbert would not need to condescend to come to China.

Tang Shaoyi smiled and said, "We can't afford to fight, so we will sit down to negotiate! Please don't use the power of Britain to suppress us. Yes, Britain is very powerful. It's stronger than our China, but we are not afraid of you. At worst, it's impossible to defeat you. However, our China's huge strategic depth and population will not be conquered. And you Britain is just a small island country. If you fight with us, you will only become a servant of Germany!"

Tang Shaoyi deliberately said that Germany was slogging that China and Germany had this negotiation. Once China joined the allies, the situation of Britain would be very worrying.

Herbert naturally understood the interests, and his tone suddenly softened, and he said, "Please don't go too far!"

Tang Shaoyi secretly said that Herbert surrendered, which means that the British still saw the interests. Obviously, before Britain cleaned up Germany, it would not have a quarrel with China or even started a war. At the same time, he was relieved by Zhang Yunfei's dangerous move.

Tang Shaoyi smiled and said, "Mr. Herbert, the only thing left in China and Britain is the Hong Kong issue. If the Hong Kong issue is solved, then China and Britain will still have a friendship relationship, and it is possible to restore alliance relations! If the Hong Kong issue is not resolved, then our two countries will sooner or later turn against each other."

Herbert said: "Hong Kong involves too many interests in Britain, which cannot be easily agreed by me or the imperial government. There are a lot of British citizens in Hong Kong, and they have already lived and worked there for peace and prosperity. They make a living by Hong Kong!"

"This is easy to deal with!" Tang Shaoyi said: "His Majesty the Emperor said. Hong Kong is the link between China and Britain! Therefore, once Hong Kong returns to the empire, its original political and economic system will remain unchanged. The empire only takes over its military, so that China can truly achieve territorial completion and sovereignty and independence!"

Herbert asked in surprise: "Does your parliament arrange the fate of Hong Kong like this?"

Tang Shaoyi nodded and said, "Of course, for a country, the most important thing is sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. For the people, the most important thing is stability and a better life. Therefore, no matter what system, as long as the people can live a better life, it is a good system!"

Then he said: "If Hong Kong returns! Except for only the Chinese army, everything else will be as usual, and Hong Kong people will govern Hong Kong. If the British expatriates from Hong Kong have the ability, they can all become the governor of Hong Kong!"

Herbert said: "If Hong Kong arranges this way, it is okay to return it to you! But I have the conditions."
Chapter completed!
