In the imperial study, Li Weiguo pondered for a long time.

Wu Yong proposed the tactic of eroding step by step, which gave Li Weiguo a new idea.

Historically, the Qin Dynasty relied on eroding Chu and eventually became the strongest overlord to unify the six kingdoms.

Not to mention the distant past, Japan in modern history also gradually annexed China by eroding step by step. Among them, the September 18th Incident is the most representative, leaving behind a policy of national humiliation without resistance.

Of course, for Li Weiguo, if he wants to view history correctly, he must abandon the political factors of that year, and cannot evaluate the non-resistance policy from a political perspective, but can only analyze it from an objective and military perspective. Based on the national conditions of that year, it was a dead end to the war with Japan. The process of world history finally proved that the non-resistance policy was correct, and it won six years of rest for China, and finally delayed the United States to participate in the war, and the World Anti-Fascist Alliance was established and finally won victory. On the nature of the space exchange for time mentioned in the protracted war, it is the same as the non-resistance policy, but the political stance is different, and the former is smarter.

The British Empire today is very similar to the Republic of China in history, and it is also not ready for a full war to go to war with the Chinese Empire.

The British knew very well that the Chinese Empire's Fearless Class Battleships are currently invincible, and the British Empire would not be able to shake the Chinese Empire without gaining sea control rights. It is absolutely impossible to defeat the Chinese Empire. Even if the British Empire has America and Japan as allies, it is a pity that the United States and Japan are both across the sea from the Chinese Empire. Neither there are fearless battleships and they cannot obtain sea control rights. So what if the three countries of Britain, the United States and Japan have alliances? They can't defeat the Chinese Empire.

In this case, what will the leaders of the British Empire do? Even though they know that they can't beat them, they still have to fight. That's a *** act.

However, the first-class fearless battleships of the British Empire are already being built in accelerating their construction. Only when the first-class fearless battleships are in service can the British Empire's navy be able to go to war with the Chinese Empire.

At present, more than a year has passed before the completion of the first-class fearless battleship of the British Empire. As the leader of the British Empire, the Thor government could only temporarily avoid the edge and choose not to resist the policy in the face of the Chinese Empire's military provocations. This is natural.

The step-by-step erosion tactic proposed by Wu Yong seems to be most in line with the current core interests of the Chinese Empire, and to seize the greatest interests at the lowest cost, and to take advantage of the British's non-resistance policy to quickly annex Papua, and then to annex the Solomon Islands and New Zealand according to the rules.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo picked up the phone and approved the Ministry of War's step-by-step encroachment plan. At the same time, Li Weiguo also called the Lifan Academy to inform Zhang Peilun to actively cooperate with the military's actions.

The British government issued a note to the Chinese Empire's ambassador to the UK and raised a solemn protest against the shelling of the Moresby Fortress by the Chinese Empire's naval. At the same time, the British Empire's ambassador to China also submitted a letter of protest to the Chinese Empire's government, demanding that the Chinese Empire restrain the navy, stop shelling Moresby, and prevent similar behavior from happening again.

After receiving the instructions from Li Weiguo, Zhang Peilun quickly prepared. Faced with the protests of the British Empire, Zhang Peilun firmly denied that it was the fault of the Chinese Empire's Navy and firmly insisted on the "excusation" submitted by Li Weijun and Liu Yongfu. Two Chinese Empire soldiers were illegally arrested by the British army at the Moresby Fortress and asked to send troops to search, otherwise the Chinese Empire would take military action.

At the same time, the American government and the Japanese government have also expressed "concerns" to the Chinese Empire, demanding that the Chinese Empire act cautiously, clearly stated that the British Empire was an ally between the United States and Japan, and emphasized the alliance relationship between the three* affairs.

In response, Zhang Peilun severely warned the United States not to act rashly, otherwise the Chinese Empire would be rude. As for Japan, Zhang Peilun ignored it directly and ignored the Japanese protests.

You should know that the Chinese Empire has established ambassador-level diplomatic relations with Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Russia and other countries, established minister-level diplomatic relations with Austria, Turkey, West, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, and Zhi, and established consular-level diplomatic relations with countries such as Portugal, Lu, and Xi.

As for Japan, there is currently only one office between the Chinese Empire and Japan. It can be seen that in the eyes of the Chinese Empire, Japan is only the fourth level and the coldest diplomatic relationship.

In fact, the Chinese Empire did not allow a powerful country to appear around it, especially in Asia, and two suns were not allowed. But Japan thought it was a sun and challenged the Chinese Empire.

Originally, the Chinese Empire didn't even want to set up an office, but because the United States, Britain and Japan were all three countries, the Chinese Empire would inevitably have to deal with Britain and the United States. Britain and the United States always brought Japanese friends, which made the Chinese Empire unable to do anything, so an office was set up with Japan.

Now a small office specialist dared to come and protest to Zhang Peilun, that is, Zhang Peilun was in a good mood, otherwise he would have kicked the Japanese specialist back to Japan.

"The Chinese Empire is too arrogant and does not take our American Alliance seriously at all! I suggest that the United States, Britain and Japan immediately convene an emergency military meeting. I don't believe that no matter how strong the Chinese Empire is, it can still be stronger than our United States, Britain and Japan!"

In the White House, the American Foreign Minister sued American President Grant.

"Damn it!"

Grant smashed the table hard, looking very angry.

He immediately picked up the phone and asked to speak with Thor in London.

Soon, the US-UK dedicated line was connected.

"Prime Minister Saul, are you all British men dead? Why don't you fight back?"

On the other side of the phone, Thor's ear was numb by Grant's anger, so he quickly moved the phone away from his ear.

After a while, he replied: "Mr. President Grant, please understand our difficulties. It is not the time to go to war with the Chinese Empire."

Grant is just acting. Don’t look at the alliance between Britain, the United States and Japan, but if there is no benefit, Grant will not easily go to war with the Chinese Empire. The reason why he showed anger was that he was angry by the aggressive reply from the Chinese Empire, and the other was that he showed concern for the British allies.

When Grant heard Thor say that he could not go to war with the Chinese Empire for the time being, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. Joining the British Empire really started fighting with the Chinese Empire, so America would have to join the war. That is not a good thing now. At least America has not yet reached the point where he has to fight against the Chinese Empire to the death.

"I have just made the Ministry of Foreign Affairs protest to the Chinese Empire! The Chinese Empire's attitude is so bad that I can't help but order the war to begin!"

When Thor heard this, he immediately said gratefully: "Thank you for your support from Mr. President! Please bear with me for a while. We must wait until the day when the Fearless Battleship is in service! You know, we have obtained information about the battle between the Viking Pirates and the main fleet of the Chinese Empire's naval. The Fearless Battleships of the Chinese Empire are really powerful. At present, the main battleships of all countries in the world are not opponents!"

Grant frowned and said, "So what? The population of our United States, Britain and Japan combined exceeds that of the Chinese Empire, and the total economic output is similar. Even if we can't beat it at sea, we can crush the Chinese Empire on land!"

Thor was originally a little grateful, but after hearing this, his face twitched and cursed Grant in his heart: "Your uncle, going to war with the Chinese Empire on land is simply nonsense. Everyone knows that America and the Chinese Empire are not bordering on land. The only one that borders on land is the Indian colony of the British Empire and the Canadian colony. They start war on land, which clearly wants British Empire soldiers to be cannon fodder.

In fact, this is also Grant's ambition. Although the United States and Britain alliances are for betrayal, allies are for betrayal. As the president of the United States, Grant naturally has to always consider the interests of the United States. At present, the global colonies have almost been divided up and the American economy has entered the stage of imperialism. It is necessary to open up overseas colonies and markets, but the world's largest colonies have been divided up by the Chinese Empire and the British Empire.

Is it too great to seize the colony from the Chinese Empire? It is too dangerous? After all, military capabilities cannot beat the Chinese Empire. But the British Empire is getting weaker and weaker, which is not difficult to expand Grant's ambitions. Especially when the US military failed to invade Cuba, Grant regretted it so much that his intestines were blue at this moment, and he wanted to withdraw his troops from Cuba immediately. However, once he withdraws from Cuba, face is a small matter, losses are a small matter, and the key is that there is no colony!

If you give up the Cuban colony, who will you steal? The Chinese Empire is still the British Empire, and only these two countries have the most colonies. Obviously, Grant hopes to pick up soft persimmons.

At this moment, the result that Grant wanted to see most was that the Chinese Empire and the British Empire fought to the death, making the British Empire weaker, so that America would have the opportunity to annex the Canadian colony of the British Empire.

For Canada, American leaders have wanted to occupy it. This is not a day or two, and the whole world knows it.

At the same time, the same is true in Canada, with plans to invade America many times in history.

It can be said that at this time, America and Canada were far less harmonious than they seemed, and they were secretly calculating each other.

Grant was a soldier and knew the idea of ​​the US military best. The expansion to Mexico to the south had reached its peak. Mexico was too poor, with a large population and few resources. Seizing Mexico's territory was not worthwhile for the United States, because it would lower the living standards of the Americans. But it would be different if it would seize Canada north. There were few Canadians, rich, and rich resources, and it was a big piece of fat.

Suppose that war between China and Britain begins, the Chinese Empire invades Canada, and then the United States sends troops, either driving away the Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army to monopolize Canada, or negotiating with the Chinese Empire to divide Canada, which is a great thing.

At this moment, Grant had already thought about it, and his allies were for betrayal!

Thor on the other side of the phone knew that Grant was not a good thing. It was also an alliance with the United States and a scam with the tiger. It was a strategy that had to be adopted at the moment. Even if the three countries of Britain, the United States and Japan defeated the Chinese Empire in the future, the world overlord might not return to the British Empire and would probably be picked by the United States. So Thor knew very well that as long as the British Empire did not give up its status as world overlord, even if the Chinese Empire was defeated, they would still have to face the challenges of the United States.

This is how countries are. They are both intrigues and cheating each other, and it depends on who is more cheating!

"Our British Empire Army is not ready either! It's too short of money! But if the President sponsors us another billion dollars, I think our British Empire Army can definitely showdown with the Chinese Empire now!"

Grant rolled his eyes and cursed Thor in his heart. Damn, he has cheated billions of dollars of aid from the United States again and again in recent years, and he still dared to lick his face and ask for funding.

"When you mention funding, I want to ask when will the interest your country owes us be returned?"

"Please rest assured that the British Empire and the United States are allies, and we will never be able to pay back the debt. We will definitely return it in a while! Otherwise, you will lend us another billion dollars so that we can return the interest on the previous loan to you!"

Ah puff!

Grant almost vomited blood!

"I have something to do, let's talk about it next time!"

"Hey! Hey! Mr. President, I haven't finished talking yet..."

When Thor heard the phone hung up there, he immediately smiled.

"Hmph! You Grant is just a warrior, and you still want to fight against me for political wisdom?"

Thor was just happy for less than three seconds when the Ministry of Defense's phone number was transferred in.

"Prime Minister, something is wrong. The Chinese Emperor has captured the Fortress of Moresby!"

"What? How is this possible? Isn't Moresby Fortress ten thousand defenders? That bastard Karan, is the fire stick in his hand?"

"Prime Minister, didn't you order not to resist? The Chinese Emperor* suddenly attacked the Moresby Fortress. Due to the sudden interruption of communication, Karan was unable to contact for a while and had to withdraw from the Moresby Fortress!"

Ah puff!

Thor suddenly had three liters of blood spurted!

Moresby Bay.

The Marines of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire landed directly at the port, but were not resisted by the British along the way. So the Emperor of China quickly occupied the port terminal, and soon all the heavy equipment of the Marine Corps landed ashore.

Li Weijun and Liu Yongfu studied and decided to directly attack Moresby Fortress.

This time, Li Weijun and Liu Yongfu brought a formally organized marine brigade, fully equipped. The army had just launched an attack on Moresby Fortress when they found that all the British troops had evacuated.

Although Karan was angry, he had to implement the policy of non-resistance from the Ministry of Defense. Seeing that the Chinese Emperor attacked the Moresby Fortress and the communication was cut off, Karan had to order the evacuation to avoid fighting with the Chinese Emperor.

The British army retreated in a hurry, and a large amount of guns, ammunition and military supplies were piled up in the entire Moresby Fortress. They were not remembered to take them away, and they were all captured by the Emperor of China.

When Li Weijun and Liu Yongfu arrived at the Moresby Fortress, they were shocked when they saw such a huge amount of spoils.

This is the first time I have encountered this situation in so many years.
Chapter completed!
