Chapter 552 The British Surrender
Ross was very sad, thinking that he would sneak away while the fierce battle between the two sides was in a hurry, but his cleverness was mistaken for him. He was caught by Duan Qirui without paying attention. As a result, Ross's personal guard battalion had to put down his weapons and surrender, which saved Duan Qirui a lot of trouble.??
Duan Qirui ordered his subordinates to escort Ross, Chamberlain and others to meet Li Weijun and Yuan Shikai, while he led the rest to continue his mission, attacking Buckingham Palace and the Parliament Building, and capturing the Queen of England and other core members of the British government.
At this time, London was already in chaos, and the dignitaries were busy escaping. The British garrison guarding London were either deserters or requisitioned by these dignitaries and escorted them out of London. The British army who were still on the front line and fighting against the Chinese Emperor's team were less than 3,000.
These three thousand people almost represent the last honor of the British Empire. They were wielding the chivalrous spirit and delusionally arousing the will of the British people to resist.
This part of the British army that insisted on resisting was respected by the soldiers of the Shen Ce Army of the Chinese Empire, and they gave them their last journey with the etiquette of the soldiers.
As for the British government's temporary armed army of more than 100,000 London citizens, it had long collapsed and now became a robber, killing its own country's comrades.
Banks, shops, and gold shops were robbed. London citizens holding guns even fought with each other due to uneven distribution of accounts.
Some fierce London citizens formed a group to rob the vehicles of those high-ranking officials and nobles. Their depressed hearts against the rich class in the past were burst out like a volcano. They not only robbed the wealth of high-ranking officials, but also shot the rich people with hatred and shot them to kill the rich, o the rich wife and ladies.
Any heavenly civilized society, once it loses order, the ugly side of human nature will explode and become hell on earth.
While Ross and Chamberlain were escorted, they saw the chaotic London city through the car window, and their hearts were shattered. At this moment, he wanted to sign a ceasefire agreement and treaty with the Chinese Empire immediately, and then free up his hands to suppress these rebellious mobs. He really couldn't bear to watch the scenes of burning, killing, robbery, rape and robbery.
"Drive quickly, I'm going to see your top officer immediately!"
Ross suddenly shouted at the Chinese Shence Army soldiers driving in front.
The soldier turned around and was about to beat Rose, but was stopped by the officer next to him.
So Ross and Chamberlain soon arrived at the Thames River on Henry Street, where they got their wish and met Li Weijun.
"Mr. Ross, I was frightened!"
Li Weijun came to greet him and said to Ross with a smile.
Ross gave Li Weijun a angrily glance. At this moment, he hated Li Weijun in his heart. If this guy hadn't been raiding London, he wouldn't have had these things that would have embarrassed the British.
However, prisoners should look like prisoners. Ross knew very well that the Chinese Empire was a country of etiquette. He had always been polite first and then soldiers. At this moment, Li Weijun looked kind, if he didn't know how to politely, he might be humiliated severely in the next moment.
Ross was very smart and immediately asked: "On behalf of the British Empire, I surrender to your country, and I would like to ask Lord Lee to immediately suppress the riots in central London!"
Li Weijun smiled and said, "As far as I know, as the British Prime Minister, you have given up London and ran away. At present, Your Excellency Kameilun, the Speaker of the Grand Speaker of your country, is negotiating with our country on behalf of your country."
Ross blushed and escaped was the thing he hated the most in his life. It wasn't that he was willing to give up London, but London could not be held back at all. If he ran too late, he would be betrayed by Kameilun and be taken out as a surrender envoy. In this case, surrender was inevitable, but Ross was unwilling to become a prime minister of the British Empire who surrendered to the Chinese Empire, and his wisdom would be completely destroyed in his life, so he ran away without hesitation, but unfortunately he was caught back in the end.
As a great politician, Ross quickly returned to his peace.
"Mr. Li, I am now officially appointing Speaker Kamei** as the Special Envoy of the British Empire to negotiate with your country!"
Li Weijun didn't understand, but he quickly figured it out. It turned out that Ross wanted Kameilun to be the special envoy of negotiations and let others be blamed.
It's indeed treacherous!
But no matter how evil you are, you have to drink my foot wash!
Soon, Li Weijun invited Ka Meilun to meet Rose.
It turned out that Li Weijun was negotiating with Ka Meilun before, but Li Weijun wanted to seize the greatest benefit, and Ka Meilun was also a ghost. He did not want to become a sinner of the British Empire and did not want to take the blame, so he was unwilling to agree to Li Weijun's harsh conditions, which led to the negotiations between the two not being reached.
The Chinese Emperor's team kept attacking, forcing Kameilun to sweat. Promise Li Weijun's harsh conditions was equivalent to betraying the British Empire. However, if they did not agree, when London fell completely, there would be no room for negotiation.
Just when Kamei was having a headache, she learned about Rose being arrested.
At that moment, Kameilun laughed.
"Your Excellency, you came too timely! The Chinese Empire was too much. It actually spoke up and asked our British Empire to surrender unconditionally! I feel relieved if you come. I am the Great Speaker and have no right to negotiate. I have to rely on Master Xiang for the next negotiation!"
t?"
Ross was stunned for a moment.
Looking at Kamei's deceitful expression, how could Ross not understand the other party's meaning and wished he could kick this girl to death.
The two old foxes had their eyes discharged, and after a fierce exchange of fire, Ross was defeated.
As a prime minister of the British Empire, Ross could not refuse Kameilun's request.
Ross sighed immediately, knowing that he was about to become a sinner in the history of the British Empire.
The British Empire Parliament Group, which is based on Kameilun, is determined to seek peace with the Chinese Empire. They will not take the blame either. So even if Ross himself is unwilling, Kameilun Group will force Ross to sign a traitor contract, and Ross will take the blame.
These are almost all common methods used by politicians from all over the world, so Rose, as a politician, already knows his fate.
He was powerless to resist and could only accept this task.
Of course, in the following negotiations, Ross still tried his best to win some benefits for the British Empire, but his ideals were full and reality was skinny. Ross's negotiating target was Li Weijun, a guy who could pluck his hair on the head of an iron rooster.
In the end, Ross ran out of tears. In front of Li Weijun, his negotiation method was completely useless because the other party was holding a bullet-loaded pistol.
Ross signed the document on a temporary armistice, representing the British Empire government.
The content of the agreement is very simple, there is only one, that is, surrender to the Chinese Empire unconditionally. As a condition, the Chinese Empire allowed the Queen of England to continue to lead the British Empire. After the Chinese Empire took over the British Empire three years after it took over the British Empire, it handed over the regime to the British Empire and withdrew from the British Empire.
This condition does not seem too excessive, but politicians are very clear that whether the Chinese Empire can return the regime to the British Empire in the future depends on the Chinese Empire's mood.
However, politicians like to play this trick. As long as they can fool the people, any conditions can be discussed.
Ross signed this clause, and the British Empire Parliament also expressed no objection to this clause, so the British Empire Prime Minister's Office issued a telegram across the country, announcing unconditional surrender to the Chinese Empire.
There is something to say about surrendering to the Chinese Empire, rather than to the Allied Group. If you surrender to the Allied Group, then the British army in France must stop fighting and surrender directly to the opposite German army.
The Chinese Empire and the German Empire had different dreams. Ross knew very well about this, so he only surrendered to the Chinese Empire in order to break up early, so that the British Empire had a chance to rise again.
When Rose announced his surrender to the British residents on the entire British Isles as a British minister, countless British people were stunned, confused and angry. The British who were disgusted with the war finally breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it was victory or defeat, there was no big change in life for ordinary British people, so it didn't matter, because victory or defeat, the profits and losses were all British interest groups, and they had nothing to do with the people at the bottom.
From September 1894 to May 1897, nearly three years of war had dragged down the economy of the British Empire, so even if the Chinese Empire did not attack the British Empire, the British Empire would have made its last attempt.
In this life, without the assistance of the United States, the British Empire could not last for another four years until victory was achieved, so the only thing waiting for the end of the British Empire was defeat and surrender.
The two evils are the least. Ross and the British nobles chose to surrender unconditionally to the Chinese Empire, which was betting. They failed this war and wanted to bet on the next war. Ross and other British elites believed that the next war would inevitably break out between China and Germany. When the Chinese Empire went to war with the German Empire, the British Empire was likely to become a pawn against the German Empire and could take the opportunity to get rid of the control of the Chinese Empire.
This is Ross' strategy. He used this sentence to convince the British aristocratic class such as Kameilun. And the British aristocratic people such as Kameilun took the blame this time, and they felt guilty, so they agreed that the next British government would still be led by Ross.
So, Ross created the best ending for himself in the most unfavorable environment.
Next, Ross re-established the cabinet and continued to lead the British Empire under the supervision of the Chinese Empire.
Li Weijun was busy mobilizing troops and dispatching generals, and the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire took over London and the entire British Isles.
Of course, not all British people accepted unconditional surrender to the Chinese Empire, and there were still a small number of British people resisting. However, their resistance was too fragile. The British Empire's economy had collapsed. These British people had no military resources to support them in continuing to fight against the Chinese Empire. They were all suppressed in less than a week.
On April 28, 3997, and on June 1, 1897, the Chinese Emperor's team occupied the entire British Empire, shocking the whole world.
Meanwhile, the Royal Navy and the Royal French Navy in the Barents Sea are in a military standoff with the German High Seas Fleet.
Despite the historical changes, Hitra convinced William II to take Tirpitz, known as the treacherous Fleet, as commander of the German High Seas Fleet, but he did not gain any advantage at the beginning and even had no chance to sneak attack the transport fleet.
It was not until the British Royal Navy Commander General Lawrence received a telegram from Ross that London fell and the Chinese Empire's Divine Army occupied the entire British Empire that the entire British Royal Navy was panicked.
Ross asked Lawrence to decide whether to return home at his own discretion, and Lawrence also understood what Ross meant.
You should know that the Royal Navy and the Imperial Navy have a feud. Almost all British naval officers and soldiers shouted to avenge their revenge. However, when Lawrence asked everyone to raise their hands to vote, they did not dare to raise their hands because their families were all in Britain. Now Britain has fallen and is controlled by the Imperial Empire. If they continue to fight against the Imperial Empire, their families will be retaliated.
This is the cleverness of Li Weijun. Seeing that Ross agreed so well, he guessed that Ross would use tricks. The British Royal Navy outside and the two million British troops fighting in France would be where Ross used tricks. Li Weijun then directly sent a telegram to the British Royal Navy Commander Lawrence, telling Lawrence clearly that if the fleet was not brought back, all the families of the British Royal Navy officers and soldiers would be killed.
Lawrence also has a family. Even if he refuses to come back with a heart of heart, not every single Royal Navy is as cold-blooded as him, and more British navys will inevitably choose to return home.
So Lawrence had to let everyone vote together, and the result was that 90% of British naval officers and soldiers agreed to return home.
However, the abnormal movements of the British Royal Navy have alarmed the French Royal Navy.
The commander of the French Royal Navy, De Le, always stared at the movements of the British Royal Navy. He hoped to bring all the British Royal Navy back to France. Those were hundreds of warships, a powerful force. If brought back to France, it would soon belong to the French Navy, which would turn the French Navy into the German Navy, second only to the Chinese Empire.
However, when De Le found out that the Royal Navy was about to return to surrender to the Chinese Empire, he was immediately angry.
Decided to attack the British Royal Navy and control the British fleet.
As a result, the British and French joint fleets had internal conflicts and fierce battles broke out.
Tirpitz, commander of the German High Seas Fleet, also learned about the fall of Britain. He speculated that the British Royal Navy would inevitably be in a panic, so he decided to attack, which happened to be in conflict between the British and French navies.
So the German high seas fleet took the opportunity to destroy the transport fleet first, complete the mission, and then concentrate firepower to attack the British and French joint fleet.
Originally, the British and French joint fleet was stronger than the German High Seas Fleet, but the British and French navies were in conflict and their strength was greatly reduced. As a result, when the German High Seas Fleet attacked, the French Navy, which was already weak, was severely damaged and almost wiped out. The British Royal Navy also suffered heavy losses. However, the British Royal Navy's original main battleship exceeded the German High Seas Fleet and had rich combat experience. In addition, the British naval officers and soldiers were eager to return to the United Kingdom and were unwilling to fight.
Tirpitz did not want the British Royal Navy to return to Britain, which would invisibly make the Chinese Empire's navy stronger, so she planned to take the opportunity to destroy the British Royal Navy. Unfortunately, Tirpitz only realized at this time that after the British naval warship dropped its ship, he quickly got rid of the pursuit of the German high seas fleet.
