Downing Street, Prime Minister's Office of the British Empire.◇↓◇↓ Novel.￥f

The newly relocated Prime Minister Saul has not been sleeping for several days. The emergency telegram from India, Singapore and Australia has made him breathless.

"I know this is the situation. I should be dismissing Benjamin later and give Benjamin a headache."

Thor regretted it a little. He thought that as long as he came to power and asked for sum to the Chinese Empire, he would soon get the consent of the Chinese Empire. As a result, he made a mistake. This time the Chinese Empire became confident and rejected Thor's request for sum.

"It seems that we have to find several countries to mediate together and put pressure on the Chinese Empire together to promote peace talks!" Secretary of Defense Cook suggested.

Thor shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid no country can put pressure on the Chinese Empire now. At least there is no situation in countries around the Asia-Pacific that affects the Chinese Empire. Tsarist Russia is the only country that can put pressure on the Chinese Empire. Unfortunately, he is going to war with the Ottomans and will never be willing to offend the Chinese Empire at this time."

Cook thought for a while and said, "Besides the Tsarist Russian Empire, there are only Japan and the United States left around the Chinese Empire. Japan is our ally. Needless to say, what about the United States? Is it possible to have an influence on the Chinese Empire?"

Thor shook his head and said, "The United States is not a rival to the Chinese Empire for the time being, but their economic foundation is good. They may be able to compete with the Chinese Empire for a few years. Improving relations with the United States is the only political legacy of the Benjamin administration. Using the United States to compete with the Chinese Empire will also be our task. But now we must completely force the United States and the Chinese Empire to the road of hostility."

Cook asked, "Do you have any good solutions?"

Thor sneered: "Since the Chinese Empire does not agree to the peace talks, I want to see how big their appetite is and how much territory they can eat. There are not many other places in our British Empire, but there are many territory. If you are really too anxious, you will be able to break the net."

After a pause, Thor continued, "I plan to transfer Hawaii to the United States. What do you think of this plan?"

Cook thought for a while before he understood: "Do you want to use Hawaii to provoke hostility between the Chinese Empire and the United States?"

"Guess it right!" Thor said confidently: "The Chinese Empire will never give up Hawaii. If the United States gets Hawaii, it is equivalent to adding a barrier to resist the threat of the Chinese Empire in the Pacific. Without this barrier, the west coast of the United States will be completely exposed to the military threat of the Chinese Empire. If you were Grant, what would you do?"

Cook immediately smiled and said, "If I were Grant, I would definitely be willing to accept Hawaii. But in this way, the Chinese Empire will inevitably break with the Grant government."

Thor nodded and said, "Only in this way can America completely turn to us. With the strong economic foundation and resources of the United States, coupled with the technology of the British Empire, America will rise rapidly in a short period of time and become an important force in confronting the Chinese Empire."

However, Cook was worried: "But in this way, what should we do in the future of our British Empire? Even if we defeat the Chinese Empire, we will build another powerful America."

Thor smiled bitterly: "We lost the war with the Chinese Empire this time. So far, the Chinese Empire has not agreed to negotiate with us. Instead, it has released a private news that it is necessary for our British Empire to cede the entire Australia, Singapore, Hawaii and Bangladesh. It can be seen that once these places are ceded, there will be no Australia's iron ore, coal, wool and other resources. Our British Empire will be severely damaged and no longer have the economic strength to compete with the Chinese Empire."

When I thought of this situation, not only Thor was sad, but the people of the entire British Empire were sad. If I had known today, I would not have provoked the Chinese Empire.

But there is no regret medicine to take.

"I will do my best to defend these places!" Cook said gritting his teeth, feeling sad. Can he keep it? Only then did he know that he himself wouldn't believe it anyway.

Thor nodded, no matter whether Cook could do what he said or not, this attitude is still worthy of praise.

"After my observation and research, I found that the reason why the Chinese Empire achieved critical victory every time is very related to their strategic forward-looking nature. If we cannot surpass the Chinese Empire in this regard, or tie them, we will never want to win the war."

Cook nodded and said, "I also discovered that since the Emperor Li Weiguo of the Chinese Empire, every time we go to war with him, he will always give us an unexpected shock. For example, the rear-mounted rifle and rear-mounted artillery were released during the 1860 War, such as the Gatling machine gun during the 1865 War. Then, the 12-inch 50-caliber naval gun that restrained our navy during the 1870 War appeared, and now they secretly replaced their naval battleships with all steel without hiding us, resulting in the Imperial Navy, which was still using wrought iron warships, suffered a great loss and was defeated. I heard that the Army had a more powerful blood heavy machine gun, which was far more powerful than the Gatling machine gun, and was also one of the culprits for the continuous losses and defeat of the Imperial Army."

Thor nodded repeatedly to agree and analyzed: "In other words, the Chinese Empire began to plot against the next war after the previous war. Our British Empire was completely led by the Chinese Empire. No matter how we prepare, the Chinese Empire always has tactics and equipment to restrain us, and this is the key to their continuous victory."

Cook added: "Our intelligence personnel found out that all this seems to be related to the Emperor Li Weiguo of the Chinese Empire. Many scientists and engineers of the Chinese Empire respectfully called Li Weiguo Teacher Li. It is said that these magical weapons and equipment that changed wars have been guided by Li Weiguo."

"Can you kill him?"

"This is very difficult. The security of the Chinese Empire is too strict, and it is difficult for our agents to get close to. Even if they can get close, they must die to complete it."

"I remember that there were many women in the emperors of the Chinese Empire. Can you start from this aspect?"

"This aspect is even stricter. I heard that the 18th generation of the female ancestors of the Fang family have been investigated clearly."

It is obviously not easy to assassinate an emperor of an empire, especially the Chinese Empire is an imperial country, which is even more difficult to start in this regard.

"Don't worry, if you don't have it once, you will have two times. If you can't do it a year, you will have five or ten years. Li Weiguo is too young. If he lives for another fifty or sixty years, we will be even worse."

Cook nodded immediately and said, "I will arrange it!"

Sauron reminded Cook again: "If necessary, you can attack the British royal family!"

Cook was stunned and immediately understood, but shook his head and said, "The royal family will definitely not agree!"

Sauron snorted coldly: "For the sake of the British Empire, they cannot disagree!"

"I understand, but...oh... forget it, you decide!" Cook stopped talking.

According to Sauron's plan, British troops around the world were still fighting tenaciously, preventing the military invasion of the Chinese Empire as much as possible.

At the same time, Sauron's secret envoy arrived in Washington and held secret talks with Grant, privately transferring Hawaii to the United States.

As a soldier, Grant knew the importance of Hawaii too well. Faced with the increasingly powerful Chinese Empire, he had to be wary of it. Therefore, even though he knew that Hawaii was difficult, he still agreed to Sauron's proposal. However, Grant was not easy to match and took the opportunity to knock Sauron.

In the end, Britain not only wants to hand over Hawaii to the United States, but also shares Britain's most advanced military and civilian technologies with the United States. This is exactly the result that Sauron wants. In order to make the United States strong as soon as possible to compete with the Chinese Empire, Sauron also made his promise. For America, Britain completely seeks and fully supports it.

It is already an open secret for Britain and the United States to secretly engage in a relationship between the whole world. The Chinese Empire is not unprepared for this. Li Weiguo made an instruction long before the outbreak of the war. He occupied a military base in the north and south of the United States and had heavy troops stationed. Even during the war, the Chinese Empire did not use the Chinese Empire's Divine Army of these two bases, which shows its importance.

Britain quickly transferred Hawaii to the United States. Naturally, it could not hide the intelligence system of the Chinese Empire. Britain's original intention was also very obvious, which was to let the Chinese Empire know about this and provoke hostile relations between the Chinese Empire and the United States.

In the Forbidden City, Li Weiguo was particularly refreshed these days. At the instigation of several female officials, he tried the thoughtful oil-promoting service of Indian girls, and he fell into depravity again.

This is what it should be for the emperor, otherwise wouldn’t it be a waste of life? But if you go to depravity, you dare not delay national affairs.

So when he learned about the issue of Hawaii, Li Weiguo immediately convened a meeting of imperial fronts to discuss countermeasures with civil and military officials.

"This British devil deserves a beating. If he can't beat us, he secretly went into the water in Latin America."

"This America is also a fucking thing. It's really abominable that the Hawaii issue is the fuse of the war between the Empire and Britain, but it still dares to step beyond the line."

"I heard that the American Civil War is about to end, the Lincoln government in the south is about to collapse, and the Grant government in the north is about to unify America. With the support of Britain, I think it is hard and dare to challenge the empire."

"Grant is an unfamiliar ungrateful wolf. I don't know how much benefit he has gained from the empire. If the empire had not supported it, they would have been destroyed long ago."

"Hey, this is the reality. There are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. Obviously, Grant is unwilling to let America be divided all the time, so when the British support him to unify America, we become his enemies."

"I suggest that the Imperial team stationed in northern America march towards Washington immediately. With the combat effectiveness of our army, there will be no problem in defeating Washington within three days."

"That would be a big deal. Grant has not publicly hostile to us. Our rash sending troops to the United States will arouse hostility around the world, which is not in the core interests of the empire."

"I don't think there is a big deal. Since the British handed over Hawaii to America, we can just take it back. If America dares to say no, it will not be too late to teach them a lesson."

After in-depth discussions among civil and military officials, Li Weiguo finally adopted the attitude of seizing Hawaii first and testing the Americans.

Li Weiguo really wanted to annex the entire America immediately, but that was not realistic. Now the Chinese Empire is in a state of war with the British Empire. The huge Pacific battlefield needs to be controlled by the navy. The imperial Shence Army wants to occupy Australia with a vast area of ​​7.7 million square kilometers. It takes a lot of time to completely subdue the 10 million people in the region. There are also the Malay Peninsula, Sakhalin, Korean Peninsula, Ryukyu Islands, Western Xinjiang battlefield, and Indian battlefield.

On the battlefield of Alaska, it can be said that the Chinese Empire is now fighting from all directions, creating enemies from all directions, and its energy is limited. When a cannon fires, it is worth ten thousand taels of gold. You should know why the United States in later generations declined, wasn’t it just a Vietnam War that was dragged down by a small Vietnam. Why did the Soviet Union collapse? Was it just a war in Afghanistan and a palm-sized Afghanistan? It’s not a bloody lesson to be consumed by the accumulated national strength in the war.

Since Li Weiguo knew this bloody lesson well, he would not become a war maniac. Maybe one day the Chinese Empire would fall into the quagmire of war because of a small country as big as a palm, repeating the mistakes of the United States and the Soviet Union in history.

Therefore, Li Weiguo decided to eat the meal one by one, first clean up the United Kingdom and Japan, and then plan for the United States.

Based on this national policy, Zhang Peilun, the Minister of the Chinese Empire's Fate Academy, gave a note to the American ambassador to China, and solemnly expressed his concerns about Hawaii, demanding that the United States cannot receive privately from the United Kingdom, that Hawaii belongs to the Hawaiian people. At the same time, through the Chinese Empire's ambassador to the United States, he conveyed the solemn concerns of the Chinese Empire's emperor on this matter to the Grant government, and demanded that Grant immediately stop damaging Sino-US relations.

But Grant ignored it and sent an elite US army to Hawaii and took over Hawaii from the British. At the same time, in order to prevent the Chinese Empire from garrisoning in two military bases in the north and south of the United States, Grant even mobilized heavy troops to monitor it, and the relationship between the Chinese Empire and the United States became tense instantly.

However, neither side made any big moves, and Grant had not yet made up his mind to completely get into evil with the Chinese Empire. He was very clear about the powerful military strength of the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire had not yet taken action against the United States because Britain and Japan were still resisting, especially Britain. Even if they lost the Pacific War, they still had huge overseas colonies, a population of more than one hundred warships. The so-called lean camels are bigger than horses. This is what the Chinese Empire also needs a lot of time to digest the results of the Pacific War.
