1890 King of Southeast Asia

"Is it confirmed?" Liu Yiming looked at the investigation file in his hand with a playful look.

This is the latest progress of the joint efforts of multiple departments to investigate Peter Wang's assassination of Sun Zaizhi. After a few months, another breakthrough has been made.

From Liu Jinbao, also known as Liu Damazi, Jiang Wang dug out more than 30 people, basically either spies or deeply connected with foreign countries.

In addition, an American businessman was arrested. Of course, it was a secret arrest. The intelligence agents in the United States rushed into his house and carried out the arrest and search.

Several account books were found in his house, and the most important thing was a roster, which recorded the Chinese he was asked to support.

Who asked? It was nothing more than politicians, but Liu Yiming didn't care. Anyway, the arrest operation could not be made public.

"The people on the roster are already under investigation. It can be confirmed that they have been receiving funding over the years. They are investigating their published articles and daily life to find evidence." Jiang Wang nodded.

"Very good, very good." Liu Yiming was in a good mood.

It's not because they dug up a suspected spy organization, and Liu Yiming felt that this might not even be a spy organization.

After all, the United States likes to do this kind of "open and aboveboard" behavior of bribing "literati". These "literati" often only play a propaganda role, know little and are of little value.

"Continue to investigate, and submit all the loopholes found in this investigation to the Imperial Court, they can use it." Liu Yiming picked the documents, left some on the table, and gave the rest to the secretary and locked them in the drawer.

"Let Cyril and Ambassador Bi Sheng come over, and tell them that I have bad news to tell them." Liu Yiming said to Secretary Wang Linhai with a smile.

"Yes!"

…………

Cyril and Bi Sheng hurried to the palace. Wang Linhai calculated their departure time and deliberately staggered the time to call the two so that they could arrive at about the same time.

So, when the two worried people met in the reception room, a wonderful chemical reaction occurred.

"Sir Bi Sheng, do you know what happened?"

"I don't know, Sir Cyril. Doesn't the British Empire's intelligence agency know what happened?"

"I don't know either. His Majesty's secretary just said that he had bad news to tell me. I don't know the details."

"The secretary told me the same thing. I have a bad feeling. It seems that the only thing that can involve our three countries at the same time is that damn war."

Silence. The two of them had no interest in continuing the conversation.

After all, it was Liu Yiming, as the head of state, who told them that it was bad news. Liu Yiming would not joke about such things, so both of them thought about the bad side.

"Will Nanhua join the war on the side of the Allies..." Cyril boldly guessed.

This is exactly what Bi Sheng and all the French are worried about. At this time, France, which is deeply involved in the war, relies heavily on the wealth and materials of Indochina and the various products produced by Nanhua.

"It shouldn't be..." Bi Sheng said with difficulty.

The war lasted for another month. Britain and France launched several offensives to try to reverse the situation, but all the offensives failed.

"Mr. Ambassador, your Majesty invites you." Wang Linhai knocked on the door gently and came in and said.

The two of them exchanged polite words and followed Secretary Wang into the office.

Entering the office, Cyril and Bi Sheng saw a very eye-catching map.

The blue color occupied a large part of the map, from the center of the map to two-thirds of the two sides, it was all azure blue.

Not surprisingly, on the map, blue is generally used to represent water, rivers, lakes, and seas, all of this color.

As ambassadors of the two major world colonial empires, they can easily tell that this is a map of the Pacific Ocean.

Then on the left, the yellow part is Nanhua and Huaxia (the Huaxia Empire has not yet been recognized.), surprisingly, Japan and the United States are both painted red.

As we all know, Japan is fighting with Nanhua and Huaxia, so this color should represent the enemy.

But when will Nanhua confront the United States again?

"Two gentlemen, I have received some information that may not be very friendly to us." Liu Yiming circled and drew on the map on the table without raising his head.

"There is information showing that the United States is planning to interfere in the war and interfere with the Allied Powers' acquisition of military supplies."

"They sent a lot of people, hoping to destroy the factories in China that provide ammunition and weapons to the Allied Powers."

"This is the specific situation my people have investigated." Liu Yiming handed the specially selected investigation documents to the two.

The two read for more than ten minutes, and then stared at each other. There was no way to communicate in advance in the office, so they could only make eye contact.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that the US Congress is interfering in the military production of your empire? This doesn't make sense logically, right?" Cyril said with a frown.

The document is not complicated. It mainly talks about some of the confessions of Liu Jinbao and Peter Wang, some of the confessions of the arrest of spies and court writers, and some "confidential source" data.

After twists and turns, it became that the United States has made many arrangements in China, preparing to disrupt the operation of the Chinese Empire in order to achieve the purpose of separating South China and China.

Then, Liu Yiming slightly guided the final data to target the destruction of heavy industry, chemical industry, and military industry in order to trigger a crisis.

The explanation is also reasonable. These factories have received huge orders. If they are damaged, production will stagnate, and they will not be able to produce products by the deadline, they will face huge compensation.

This will greatly squeeze the cash flow of enterprises. It is not impossible to destroy the enterprises. If they want to save the world, the government's investment will trigger a new round of crisis.

In the mouths of these court writers: "Everything has been planned."

However, Cyril is not willing to believe this, and Bi Sheng's face is uncertain.

"I also hope that this is just a conspiracy or misunderstanding to provoke the relationship between me and the United States, but all evidence shows that our investigation direction is correct." Liu Yiming waved his hand.

He didn't have much feeling for the United States. It was just planting spies. Who wouldn't do it?

However, the war has started now, and there are only two suppliers in the world who can provide a large amount of supplies...

"Is this the bad news you want to tell us?" Cyril thought about it and didn't refute it. The evidence is there. No matter where the evidence comes from, Liu Yiming just believes it, even if it is false.

"No, I suspect that the United States is in contact with the Allies, and it is very likely to join the Allies, or cooperate with the Allies. You know that the United States has also been seeking markets and colonies." Liu Yiming shook his head and said something shocking.

This is of course Liu Yiming's random talk. Anyway, he doesn't want money. If it is in public, Liu Yiming still has some concerns. In private, he can say whatever he wants.

"This is not nonsense. The arrangement made by the United States is aimed at important industrial and mining enterprises in our country. If successful, the enterprises will be temporarily paralyzed, which may exceed one year."

"We are still at war with Japan. If the military industry is paralyzed, I must give priority to supplying materials to Japan."

"From the orders, I see that the consumption on the European front is getting bigger and bigger. If you want to win, you must have sufficient material guarantees."

"If the above plan is completed, in the short term, the United States will become the only supplier in Europe. Even if your supply line is cut off, the British Empire needs to use at least half of its energy to deal with Germany, and the other half to maintain the route. The United States also has a huge fleet."

It is not reasonable. It is only important when facing the public. When it comes to huge interests, a doubt can tip the scales.

Before the war, the relationship between the United States and the Allies and the Central Powers was not very good. They were excluded by the Old World, so they pursued isolationism.

After the war began, the huge consumption made both sides realize the seriousness of the matter-they needed more weapons and ammunition.

It is worth mentioning that the British blockade of Germany at this time did not involve "non-strategic materials", that is, goods not on the list of embargoed goods could be transported to Germany.

Although this also made the Americans very unhappy, they still "surrendered" under the British gold and dollar offensive.

At present, both sides are trying to win the favor of the United States, but the Germans' approach is relatively clumsy. While promoting goodwill, they carried out sabotage activities to prevent the United States from providing materials to the British.

Basically, the crimes that Liu Yiming has netted against the United States have been done by the Germans, and on a large scale, and confidentiality is not strict at all.

Of course, not at this time, the war has not reached that stage at this time.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do? Since you know, you should understand that Britain cannot blame the United States for this incident." Cyril wants to know what Liu Yiming wants before deciding how to deal with it.

It wasn't that Cyril believed Liu Yiming, but Liu Yiming mentioned a problem that Cyril was very concerned about - suppliers.

If there is only one supplier, it is called a monopoly. Monopoly is inherently profitable and represents high prices.

In fact, Britain is also more inclined to import materials from China, because most of China's materials are cheaper than American goods.

But for political considerations and long-term planning, the British did not put all their eggs in one basket.

"My foreign minister has publicly questioned the US government about this matter. What I want to do is what allies should do." Liu Yiming put his hands together and supported his chin.

Bi Sheng and Cyril looked at each other. What is what allies should do?

Bi Sheng was a little skeptical. Aren't the alliance treaties and additional treaties signed by France and South China aimed at the Russians and the British, and to contain the Germans in the Far East?

Later, the Russians and the British became allies of France, and the covenant was essentially abolished, but the relationship between the two countries became better and better, so there was no mention of abolition.

"What I want to say is that South China joined the Allied Powers..."
