the world is at stake

If Great Britain weakens, this scene must be repeated again.

"What are we going to give China?"

"Oxygen top-blown converter, how about it? This is a revolutionary technology that greatly improves the quality and output of iron and steel smelting."

"Heavy-duty large-scale continuous-roll hot-rolling production line, high-temperature cracking catalytic device, high-precision inertial navigation, and high-thrust rocket engine, all of which can be provided. The Chinese do not lack technology, but we have already reproduced the real thing."

"We should look to China for semiconductors. They are about five years ahead of us in transistors. There are actually many areas where the two sides can complement each other."

The old king stepped into the castle, and Cameron led a team to greet him.

Charles I waved off his attendants and walked into the secret room of the meeting by himself.He glanced at the elite of the British elect, and whispered, "The Light is interested in our chances, but it's not easy to win their trust."

Cameron asked: "Your Majesty, what is our limit?"

"The bottom line is that Great Britain loses East Asia and Oceania, and allows China to gain some colonies in Africa and South America.

Germany will then control Central and Eastern Europe, and France will control Western Europe and North Africa.China controls East Asia and Great Britain controls North America.In other areas, everyone's interests are shared. "

Britain's control of North America must be counted together with the current Canada and the United States.This is a territory of almost 2000 million square kilometers.If Great Britain swallowed Mexico, even the Soviet Union would be dumbfounded.

"Will the 'Holy Light' trust us? What should they do if they take the benefits but don't do anything?"

"Then give 'Holy Light' an undeniable benefit, and they must be dragged into the water."

Chapter 57 Great Powers Don't Like Conspiracies

What did America mean to Britain during World War I?

Rebels, country bumpkins, nouveau riche, uneducated soil turtles, mixed-race thugs.

Wealthy Americans also admit that their foundations are shallow. They were popular at the time marrying the wives of poor European aristocrats. They also recognized the decency of "old Europe" and wanted to make some money.

But when the First World War is over, the weakness of Great Britain can be seen with the naked eye, and it can no longer maintain the dignity of the "sun never sets" empire. The "Commonwealth of Nations" also gradually left Germany and turned to the United States.

Canada, New Zealand, Australia, these descendants of 'Anglo-Saxons' are all moving towards the United States.Even South Africa licks American assholes.

Over time, America became the 'city on a hill' and the 'new Roman Empire'.Many stars are from the Commonwealth.Like Charlize Theron and Elon Musk are from South Africa.

If the restart of time and space still has this result, the British candidates are absolutely unacceptable.It's better to take advantage of the power of Great Britain now and make up your mind to overthrow the United States.

However, it is impossible to keep such a difficult strategic shift completely secret.Americans are not fools, and the Atlantic Ocean between Britain and the United States is not a pond that can be crossed casually.

The battle of destroying the country must be thunderous, and the opponent must not be given a chance to breathe.If you want to complete all your achievements in one battle, you must use overt schemes to force the U.S. military and political circles to be at a loss before they can be destroyed.

The best situation is to transfer the U.S. Navy away from the West Coast, not even the East Coast, and send them all to the Western Pacific to trouble China.

Refer to the Pacific War of World War II.Japan launched a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor at the end of 41. It took four or five months for the United States to launch sporadic counterattacks, and it took half a year to rely on national strength to gradually crush the Japanese navy.

Now that China and Japan have joined forces, the navy still does not have an advantage over the United States, but it is not a situation of being crushed.Moreover, the 'Holy Light' can completely stop after seizing Guam, waiting for the US Navy to come and die.

The land-based 'Early Warning-1' is being upgraded rapidly, and the 'Early Warning-2' based on the 'H-2' airframe design is launched simultaneously.Its larger voyage and longer stay in the air are of great convenience for monitoring the sea.

China's semiconductor technology is advancing step by step, and the detection range and accuracy of radar are being strengthened.If China and the UK work together, technological progress will only be faster.

This technological advantage has been exclusive to China in recent years, and it would be too wasteful not to make good use of it.

Now the US military does not have complete logistical support in Pearl Harbor, Midway Island, Wake Island and other places.When the main force of its navy crosses the entire Pacific Ocean to the second island chain, Britain can safely and boldly backstab lore.

A transoceanic expedition is by no means just sending a few fleets out.During the Russo-Japanese War, the Tsarist Russian Second Pacific Fleet circled more than half of the world to deliver the heads, which is a negative example of world military history.

It's not that Great Britain brags about itself, talking about the navy during World War I, everyone here is scum, only it can do the world's military.

This idea is very tempting, but will the 'Holy Light' help?

Britain can't hold Southeast Asia at all, and it can't even hold Oceania.China will never let the British use the soon-to-be-lost territory as a bargaining chip and then give it to itself.

What 'undeniable benefits' can Great Britain offer China?Everyone in the game wants to know.

In October 18, a British-made "Trident" passenger plane departed from London, passed through Paris and Rome, passed through the Middle East, and arrived in India. It took five days to land in Mandalay, Myanmar.

The Chinese National Defense Force has now taken control of this important town in central Myanmar, and is slowly building a road to Yangon.Indochina is about to arrive.

In Yangon, there is one regiment of the British Army, two divisions of the Australian and New Zealand Army, and three divisions of the Indian Army, with a strength of less than [-] troops.Facing the endless Burmese guerrillas, they were devastated and had no choice but to protect themselves.

After receiving the news forwarded by Zhou Qingfeng, the Standing Committee of the 'Holy Light' in the imperial capital was also very curious.Foreign Minister Wang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rushed to Mandalay in person to meet the secretly visiting special envoy of the elect from the United Kingdom.

The two parties did not write pen and ink in the meeting, but first discussed the concept.

The British side frankly asked whether China was interested in launching the Pacific War.China also made it clear that under the current circumstances, it has no interest in challenging the United States.

The British side began to raise chips, such as providing some large-scale industrial equipment to strengthen China's strength.The Chinese shook their heads.

The overall industrial advantage of the UK is indeed superior to that of China, but the technical level of the two sides is actually similar.The United States can also provide the same equipment without taking much political risk.

"What about allowing China to swallow Southeast Asia and even Oceania?"

"This is a place that will be seized by China in the next five years, and it cannot be used as a bargaining chip."

"What about exchanging the 'future technology' mastered by both parties?"

"I'm a little interested, but China, Germany and Japan also have a lot of reserves. In addition, in the current European war, many small European countries are also selling replicas of the 'future technology' they have mastered. China has benefited a lot."

"What if China and Britain jointly develop nuclear weapons?"

"China is mining uranium mines at home and in North Korea, and at the same time conducting preliminary research on nuclear reactors. However, the national power to be mobilized for nuclear weapons is too great. At present, it can only be promoted steadily, and the limited power is used for industry and people's livelihood."

After talking for half an hour, the two sides had a constructive dialogue and fully understood each other's needs.

China is a country that has not yet completed industrialization. Most of its citizens are still illiterate. Less than [-]% of its literate population has just become self-sufficient in food. Industries such as steel and chemical industries have barely started to challenge the already industrialized United States...

Are you sick in your head?

Besides, Daying has always sold his teammates, and his reputation is not much better than that of Russia.

Not to mention, the Frenchman was recently led by the British to fight against Germany, and he was stuck in a quagmire and couldn't extricate himself.However, when the flames of war ignited, Britain found that the situation was not right, so it did not contribute, and planned to attack North America.

'Holy Light' thought to himself: "If I move the United States, when the U.S. Navy comes across the ocean, the Sino-Japanese joint fleet may be wiped out and the British will not see it. Back to Southeast Asia."

Charles is such a bad old man, and 'Holy Light' doesn't believe that he will have any sincere cooperation-unless he gives actual benefits, so that China has the confidence to fight the United States.

The two sides talked for a day to fully understand each other's intentions and plans, and then sent telegrams to their respective core teams.

The British envoy flew back to Dhaka, Bangladesh, with a message to London.Foreign Minister Wang sent a long telegram to the imperial capital, describing in detail the British plan--for bargaining, everything was expected.

Three days later, the two sides met again.The Chinese side set out the conditions they want...

First, the Sino-British armistice and Britain withdrew from Southeast Asia.China can promise not to attack Oceania for five years.

Second, China and the UK have opened up trade restrictions and tariff barriers, allowing the free flow of goods between the two countries.In addition, the Chinese and British selected teams cooperated with each other and shared technological achievements.

Third, the UK provides China with a 200-year interest-free loan of 20 billion pounds, and China promises to use at least 60.00% of the loan to purchase British industrial products.

Fourth, the two militaries of China and the UK should establish a mutual trust mechanism, send personnel to each other for exchanges, conduct joint exercises in due course, and maintain regional stability and world peace.

The British special envoy was a little surprised when he saw these conditions. After a while, he asked Foreign Minister Wang dumbfounded, "Do you have any spies in our high-level? This is our bottom line."

These conditions have completely dispelled the possibility of the UK secretly making troubles. Putting all cooperation on the table will inevitably cause the United States to be vigilant and confront, and it will also greatly increase the cost of selling teammates to the UK.

Daying wants to play tricks and maximize profits.China will not engage in secret diplomacy with it, and will not accept the benefits of three melons and two dates and sacrifice its life.

This is a conspiracy, and everything is laid out in the sun.It is tantamount to telling everyone that Britain's national policy has undergone a 180-degree turn, and it has re-selected partners in East Asia.

After China and Germany become allies that are not allies, China and Britain will do the same thing.

The East and West of Asia and Europe unite, the Yankees will be isolated, and the "Brotherhood" will inevitably climb the technology tree like a mad dog, striving to point out nuclear weapons as soon as possible.

As for Russia, it is natural to ignore it and become the fat meat divided by China and Germany.

This is exactly what Charles I offered 'an offer that could not be refused'.In the competition between major powers, it is not enough to count on temporary tricks and tricks.Upright cooperation and crushing are the only means.

The United Kingdom is the current world hegemon, and its open stance will inevitably trigger a chain reaction.

Tsarist Russia will fall into extreme despair, fearing that it will explode; France will also go mad with anger, and then look for a way out; Germany and Austria-Hungary will only be ecstatic and fight harder.

The Spaghetti are afraid that they will surrender to Germany immediately, and instead act as lackeys and run to bite the Ottoman Empire.

The United States does not know what it will do, maybe it will maintain isolationism, or it may seem to be awakened and strengthen its armaments.If China and the UK really attack it from both sides, life will definitely be difficult.

But for Britain, Great Britain wants to maintain its own glory, and this is the only way out.Three years at the fastest, five years at the slowest, the attack will be launched.

"In 1918, the combined steel output of China and Japan was 500 million tons. But this is far from enough. We hope to increase by 50.00% every year in the future to narrow the gap with the United States.

Similarly, major breakthroughs have been made in the manufacturing of industrial products, especially in key areas such as engines, transmissions, hydraulic machinery, and chemical equipment.

If China wants to confront the United States in East Asia, or take the initiative to attack and seize the islands controlled by the United States in the Pacific Ocean, it must reach at least one-third of its national power.

As for running to attack the west coast of the United States, it is too difficult.China believes that it will take 50 years to digest East Asia, and being too greedy will only spoil its spleen and stomach. "

Foreign Minister Wang made an offer.

The British envoy was silent for a long time.

Great Britain used to be used to balance in Europe, and whoever is strong will be dealt with.Now it has to strike a balance across the planet and support China against the United States.

If Great Britain really succeeds in seizing North America, it will be busy recuperating for 50 years, desperately having children and assimilating, and has no time to control other countries.

The world will fall into a period of calm.

But the surviving major powers are also satisfied, at least Britain, which has stabilized its position, is satisfied.The glory of the Mi Ziqi will continue for another 500 years.

Chapter 58 Economic Crisis

New York, the building at 11 Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange.

There are three stock trading halls, including the main hall, the blue hall, and the 'garage room', and a bond trading hall, which are places where securities brokers gather and trade with each other.

There are no electronic display screens or automatic price counters in the current exchange, only one trading counter.Traders would write the prices and quantities of different stocks and bonds on a blackboard for reference by their counterparties.

The latest telegraph, telephone and facsimile machines were first used here, ringing constantly.

With the tense war in Europe and rising commodity prices in the United States, hot speculative money poured into the stock market like a tide, driving the stock prices of companies affiliated to the American consortium to soar wildly.

With pens and paper, traders ran back and forth between different counters, and there were paper slips recording prices and transaction amounts all over the floor.Each slip of paper often represents tens of thousands or even millions of dollars in stock transactions.

The United States, which is far from the war, enjoys the prosperity of the stock market, which not only affects the prosperous big cities such as New York, but also has a large number of stock investors in many American villages.

The topics people talk about after dinner are always inseparable from stocks. All the experts are promoting one thing in the media. The war in Europe will continue for at least two or three years, and the stock market will also hit new highs.

The stock market does not seem to be weak, and it is always lively.

Even President Wilson vowed to assure the people of the whole country that the United States has entered an unprecedented period of prosperity, and the future must be even better.

Faced with the rising stock market, banks are very bold in granting loans to securities institutions.The controllers of the American consortium found that the return of investing money in industries was far less than that of investing in the stock market, which was significantly more profitable.

In order to promote their own profits, some companies simply released the news that the factory was sold to China at a high price.Shareholders often don't know that the companies they invest in have become empty shells, but they know that the stocks of these companies are skyrocketing.

Some listed companies do not have any performance, and only need to speculate on the concept to attract investment.

Speculators have leveraged up loans to buy stocks, waiting for appreciation.As long as the war in Europe lasted and the stock market kept going up, they could make a lot of money.

But on October 1918, 10, an inexplicable force broke into the exchange via telephone lines and fax machines.The phones in the trading desks kept ringing and hot stocks were being sold.

General Motors, U.S. Steel, DuPont Chemical, Bath Shipbuilding, Atlantic Cargo, California Petroleum.In the first hour, all the stocks sold were quickly taken over, and the trading enthusiasm remained undiminished.

But when the morning trading session ended, keen traders noticed something was wrong - the stock turnover rate was very high today, but the stock price did not rise.This means that a large number of shares are being sold by holders.

But the frenzy in the stock market masked the anomaly.

When the market opened in the afternoon, the phone was still ringing non-stop, and the number of transactions continued to increase.Securities companies and financial institutions near Wall Street did not miss any opportunity to make a fortune.

On the 9th, the stock trading volume exceeded 5000 million US dollars, reaching an astonishing peak.Newspapers and radio stations that night took the number as a signal that the stock market would continue to climb, drawing even more attention across the country.

On the 10th and 11th, the trading volume of the stock market continued to increase, but the stock index did not rise but fell.

A sense of unease spread in the exchange, and the traders who finally had the wits noticed that the situation was abnormal and began to silently reduce their positions.

But it was too late.

On the weekend of the 12th, the stock market was closed for two days, and all transactions were stopped.

On the 14th, the stock market restarted, and millions of shares of sell orders poured in, hitting the stock index hard.

Before the exchange stopped trading in the afternoon, a news spread from London to the whole world-Britain recognized the injustice of its colonization in Southeast Asia and was preparing to cease war with China.

A brief press release is like a hurricane blowing from flat ground, suddenly sweeping the whole world.

In Paris, Berlin, Rome, Vienna, St. Petersburg, New York, and Washington, the first reaction of high-ranking foreign powers and diplomats is 'today is ahead of April Fool's Day'?

Even the many British embassies abroad were kept in the dark, and the diplomats did not send a telegram to the London Foreign Office to inquire about the authenticity of the news until there was a surge of calls from all over the world.

There is no doubt that the news is true - Britain does not want to fight.

Hearing this news, Pu Dadi sat down on the chair in his office, his mind was completely blank.He didn't know how to think, and he couldn't predict the follow-up.

Apart from going to war and using the navy to fight Germany hard, Britain did nothing.After confirming that Germany cannot be dealt with, the British guy wants to stop the loss in time.

From Nicholas II to the top of Tsarist Russia, the bureaucracy and the army were completely dumbfounded.The Russian foreign minister rushed to the British embassy in St. Petersburg and asked why the UK betrayed its allies?
