"Your Majesty, when you received this message, I thought I had already sunk to the bottom of the sea with the Empire's warships.”
"I, David, have failed the trust of the cabinet and His Majesty. It was my incompetence that brought the Empire's blood, sweat, and tears into the ocean graveyard.”
" However, I have to say that the Imperium has made a huge mistake. Not only do China have advanced submarines, but they also have a lot of unprecedented fighter jets. These fighter jets are extremely fast and can carry a lot of bombs. The battleships that the Imperium is proud of cannot withstand a single blow from them. I hope that you can stop underestimating China and focus on researching new weapons. Otherwise, it won't be long before the empire will be in danger!”
Silence, deathly silence!
The British Prime Minister, Lloyd, looked at the photos that the late General David had risked his life to take and send back. His face was filled with disbelief.
" The dynasty's fleet was destroyed?"
"A warship with a total displacement of 150,000 tons and more than 10,000 elite naval forces were wiped out?”
"How is that possible?"
" He's from Zhongxia???"
George felt like Dave was playing a joke on him. Including the fleets sent by other countries, the total displacement of the joint fleet this time was about 500,000 tons. How could such a huge fleet be completely wiped out?
Just based on the small gunboats that weighed tens of thousands of tons?
There were such advanced fighter jets in China? Are you talking nonsense?
Even though he couldn't believe it, the truth was right in front of him. He had no choice but to believe it.
"Mr. Prime Minister, this is the greatest humiliation in the history of the British Empire. I propose to send more fleets to launch a destructive attack on the Great Wall Guards of Central Xia to avenge this humiliation.”An admiral slammed the table and stood up.
“？？？”
As soon as he said this, everyone present looked at him with a wise expression.
In the end, it was this person's immediate superior, the Chief Minister of the British Empire's Navy, who spoke up."
"Send a fleet? How many more? This time, the combined fleet with a total displacement of 500,000 tons was completely wiped out. Do you mean to throw all the assets of the dynasty into the Yellow Sea of Central China?”
"Hareton, your intelligence is no longer suitable for this position.”
" Everyone, please listen to me…" When Hareton heard that he was about to be fired, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he sighed heavily and walked out of the meeting room dejectedly.
Lloyd sighed softly. Under the hint of King George V's eyes, he had no choice but to come out and be the scapegoat.
" I think that this matter should end here. This time, a total of 500,000 tons of warships from the allied countries were destroyed. This number is already a quarter of the Empire's. We can't waste our precious blood and sweat on this meaningless war.”
" Of course, the dynasty can organize a larger fleet for an expedition, but we can't just consider Zhongxia. The dynasty still has more colonies that need warships to maintain its rule.”
"If we disregard everything and insist on fighting to the death with Central Xia, if we are unfortunately destroyed again, then the homeland of the Empire will be in danger.”
Prime Minister Lloyd glanced at the ministers who had their heads lowered and were silent. He recalled his all-powerful presence at the Paris Peace Conference and the situation he would face in the future. He smiled bitterly.
He staggered out of the parliament building and bowed deeply to the people who had gathered outside after learning of his defeat.
" As the Prime Minister of the Great Britain Empire, I announce that this war has been suspended. The war has suffered a setback, and the empire is no longer able to suppress the Great Wall Guard Army regime in Central Xia. Please give the empire some time to accumulate strength. When the time is right, the empire will definitely avenge all the victims.”
With that, Lloyd bowed deeply again and returned to the conference room."Your Majesty, my incompetence and dereliction of duty have caused the empire to suffer great losses and humiliation. I request to be removed from my position!”
"Agreed!"
With the approval of the ministers, Lloyd was officially appointed as the Prime Minister of the British Empire!
After receiving this news, countries like Francy and Merika followed suit.
They would promote the highest leader to be the scapegoat and give large amounts of financial compensation to the families of those who died in the hands of the Great Wall Guards.
Under the double explanation of money and leaders, the anger of the people gradually subsided. Those who still wanted justice were quickly drowned in the flood.
The war ended with the Chinese Great Wall's defenders winning. The two sides didn't sign any treaty or negotiate.
However, they tacitly stopped fighting. Both sides treated the declaration of war as a piece of paper to wipe their asses, as if it had never happened. Three days later, business would continue.
On the fourth day, there were British people who wanted to trade. After getting permission, they happily pulled the two large ships of goods and left.
The final reason was that China did not have the ability to launch an expedition and threaten the interests of the other countries.
The superpowers had just fought a world war and their days were not good. They were not willing to continue investing energy and money to fight the Forest Tree Regime.
And Lin Shu was the same.
For him at this stage, building the country, stimulating the economy, and developing the industry were his top priorities. As for dealing with the foreign powers?
There was no hurry. There was plenty of time. After Zhongxia stood up, it could easily crush the foreign powers with its huge local size.
Very quickly. It didn't take long at all.
In the meeting room on the 12th floor of the headquarters of the Big Tree Group in Tang Shan Prefecture, Lin Shu was dressed in formal attire.
"Li Kai, take your men and chase out those useless and mediocre people in the capital. If necessary, call for air support, but this is different from fighting foreigners. They are all people with the same blood as us.”
"Zhang Zhizhong, take your 2nd division through Tianjin and take down Jinan and Tsingtao. There are Japanese troops there. Don't underestimate the enemy, and don't sympathize with them!”
"Bai Shan, take your 3rd division and stay in Dandong to threaten the Japanese. At the same time, keep an eye on Fengtian City. That old thing Zhang Zuolin jumped up and down when we were fighting the foreigners.”
……
……
Lin Shu gave out orders one after another. No one dared to show any doubt. Although Zhang Zhizhong wanted to remind him, he saw the fanatical faces of his colleagues and wisely chose to keep quiet.
Right now, Lin Shu had just won the war against the six superpowers. He had sunk more than a hundred warships and more than 50,000 westerners.
This was the first time in the past hundred years that China had defeated a superpower on a large scale, and Lin Shu's prestige was unprecedentedly high. Even if the 1,000 system main city soldiers that were placed in each division were to withdraw, they did not have to worry about any mutiny.
This was the benefit of winning foreign wars. The most obvious thing was that the recruitment offices in the major cities were full every day.
A large number of ambitious people traveled thousands of miles to the Jin-Ji region to seek refuge.
