The U.S. Ambassador to China Schulman and the British Ambassador to China Sir Jurden left the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs with anger. In fact, when they entered the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they were destined to be like this. They were too whimsical and dared to make such shameless demands. The Chinese Empire was not the Qing government of the past, so naturally they would not agree to their unreasonable demands.

You should know that after the founding of the Chinese Empire, the European and American powers also asked the Chinese Empire to recognize the unequal treaties they signed with the Qing Dynasty. As a result, the Chinese Empire was still gradually abolishing these treaties. The Chinese Empire is much stronger now than when the empire was just established. Naturally, it will no longer be as entangled as before. The Chinese Empire already has the strength to speak to the powerful European and American powers!

After Ambassador Schulman and Sir Jurden left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi rushed to the palace to report the matter to the Emperor Wu Haoxuan. In any case, the ambassadors of Britain and the United States united to put pressure on China, which is not a good thing. This will mean that in the face of the strength of the Chinese Empire, Britain and the United States will eventually come together.

"Your Majesty, Britain and the United States have joined forces to take over the huge debts that the Empire owed them to Japan, and also claimed to use the Japanese Navy's "Yamato-class" battleships and the "Tiancheng-class" battlecruiser to pay off the debt. However, they were sternly rejected. Britain and the United States have also proposed that the tonnage of the Imperial Navy has far exceeded the tonnage of the main ships stipulated in the Washington Navy Treaty, and asked the Empire to give up those battleships. Otherwise, they will take corresponding countermeasures. For example, build more main ships." Tang Shaoyi said.

"The British and Americans are just bluffing, so don't pay attention to them. The Imperial Navy defeated the British and Japanese Navy one after another, so they should let them know the strength of the Imperial Navy. If they don't want to die, it's better not to fight against the Imperial. Otherwise, the Imperial will make them die ugly." Wu Haoxuan said confidently.

Although the joint efforts of Britain and the United States will pose a great threat to the Chinese Empire. However, the Chinese Empire has complete self-protection. The nail of Japan no longer exists. The Chinese Empire can draw more power to compete with Britain and the United States for world hegemony. If they dare to send a navy to provoke the Chinese Empire, the powerful Chinese Navy will let them taste the taste of failure again. The three "Three Emperors" battleships of the Chinese Navy have become the most powerful battleships that are well deserved. After the four "Yamato-class" battleships captured from Japan have been modified, they will also become more powerful battleships, which will put the empire's naval strength to a higher level. As long as the British and Americans' brains are not kicked by donkeys, they will not cause trouble for the empire in such a situation.

Tang Shaoyi nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty. Judging from the current situation, the strength of the empire can indeed make Britain and the United States very afraid. However, if they become enemies with the empire for a long time, the empire's future expansion will be greatly restricted."

"Well, over the years, the pace of the empire's expansion has caused strong fear from Britain and the United States. The empire will also take some time to digest the results of expansion. Therefore, starting next year, the empire will suspend its external expansion. First, find ways to digest these results, and then continue to expand." Wu Haoxuan said. If you take too much steps, you will get rid of the eggs. If you eat too much, you will also get indigestion. The Chinese Empire is now like a person who has swallowed a lot of benefits. If you don't digest it and then swallow it, you will definitely get indigestion in the end. At that time, more will be vomited out. In order to avoid these situations, Wu Haoxuan must take the initiative to let the empire stop expanding.

"Your Majesty, we have sternly rejected the unreasonable demands of the Americans and the British this time. However, they will definitely not give up just like this. They will definitely take other small actions to continue to fight against the empire." Tang Shaoyi said.

"There is nothing to worry about when the soldiers come and the generals come and cover the water and soil come and cover it." Wu Haoxuan said. Compared with the United States, where economic and political deterioration, the Chinese Empire is developing rapidly. In no time, the Chinese Empire's economic and industrial strength will not be inferior to the United States. There is even a possibility that it will surpass the United States. At that time, even if it faces the United States head-on, the empire's chances of winning will be very high.

Tang Shaoyi nodded and said nothing more. After all, the current international situation is like this. The current Chinese Empire is like sailing against the current, and if it does not advance, it will retreat. If it cannot become the world hegemon, it will be destined to be suppressed by Britain, the United States and other countries. Only when the Chinese Empire defeats Britain, the United States and other countries, becomes the world hegemon, and dominates the world, can the Chinese Empire be spared from being bullied.

The ambassadors of Britain and the United States to China were in a state of disgrace at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire. However, they did not give up. The ambassadors of Britain and the United States to Japan were ordered to go to the government agencies under the Japanese Governor's Office and formally filed a request for repayment of debts to the Nishinoji Gongwang, who was appointed as the Governor's government official.

"Sir Nishimotoji, Japan borrowed a total of $960 million from the United States before the war. Now, given the turbulent situation in Japan, the US government is worried about problems with these loans. So, we hope you can repay these loans to the United States in the shortest time." said Davidson, US Ambassador to Japan.

"Of course Nishimotoji, the Japanese government still owes the UK a total of 230 million pounds of loan. Now, the British government hopes you will repay the loan." The British Ambassador to Japan also said.

Nishiroji Gong was stunned. He knew very well that the former US and Britain had huge loans from Japan. At that time, after being defeated by the Chinese Empire, Japan was extorted a large amount of war reparations by the Chinese Empire. Japan had lost the war, so where could it be paid? Therefore, it had to borrow money from the United States and Britain. In order to arm Japan and allow Japan to have the strength to fight against the Chinese Empire, the United States and Britain also took the initiative to lend money to Japan to develop arms. However, a large part of those loans were forced to purchase their military products by the United States and Britain. Japan lost all of them in this war, so it was naturally impossible to repay these huge debts.

However, the Japanese Governor's Office, where Nishitoji Komatsu and others worked, naturally could not bear these huge debts. After all, this is not a small amount! If the two loans combined, the total amount has exceeded 2 billion US dollars. If it is converted into Huayuan, it will be 4 billion Huayuan.

"Two Ambassadors, this money was borrowed from you by the old Japanese government and has nothing to do with us. The one who ruled Japan now is the Chinese Empire in Japan's Governor's Office. It is essentially different from the previous Japanese government. The debts owed by the Japanese government have nothing to do with us." Nishimotoji Gong denies. He is not a fool, so how could he admit to taking on these debts? After all, the war reparations they owe to the Chinese Empire to the 10 billion yuan were already very troubled. If they added a loan of 4 billion, it would even make them even more collapsed.

"Your Excellency Nishiyuanji, are you trying to make a debt? This is a national loan! If you want to make a debt, what consequences will be? You should be very clear? The US government will never agree that such a large amount of debt will turn into bad debts." Ambassador Davidson threatened coldly.

"The British Empire will never allow the British Empire's assets to be damaged," said the British ambassador.

The Americans and the British obviously want to threaten power. After all, if they cannot recover such a large loan, it will be a huge loss for both countries. You should know that the British "Nelson-class" battleship cost only three million pounds. The loans that Japan owes Britain are enough for Britain to build seventy or eighty "Nelson-class" battleships.

The King of Xiyuan Temple couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and cold sweat kept popping out of his forehead.

"I'm sorry, these debts have nothing to do with us. You should go to Prince Hirohito. Prince Hirohito is the representative of the Japanese Imperial Government, and you should ask him to repay these loans." said Nishinoji Kotoshi. In any case, if you don't recognize these loans, just push all these loans to the Japanese Imperial Government or Prince Hirohito.

"Sir Nishiyuanji, is this your answer? You should know, what are the consequences?" Ambassador Davidson threatened.

"I know, but Japan is now ruled by the Chinese Empire. If Britain and the United States really want to go to war against Japan, the Chinese Empire will never sit idly by." Nishinoji Kou-ho replied.

Ambassador Davidson and Ambassador Stephen were both stunned. Nishiyuanji Gongwang was right. Americans and British people did not have the courage to find the Chinese Empire, so they wanted to start from the Japanese.

In the end, Ambassador Davidson and Ambassador Stephen had to leave in anger.

The King of Nishiyuan Temple also hurried to the Governor's Office and reported the matter to Marshal Shi Deshan. Marshal Shi Deshan said indifferently: "Don't worry about those guys. If they want to start a war, the Empire will accompany them."

With Marshal Shi Deshan's reply, Xiyuanji Gongwang was relieved. After all, with the support of the Chinese Empire, they would not have to worry about the threat from Britain and the United States.

In addition, Japan is about to become a vassal state of the Chinese Empire. According to the friendship treaty between the two countries, Japan's diplomacy needs to be consistent with the Chinese Empire. Therefore, Japan can even cancel the embassies of various countries in Japan. Naturally, there is no need to meet ambassadors from Britain, the United States and other countries.
