The situation during this period is a little better. China and the United States hold diversified debts from Britain and France, and the United States holds more debts from the United Kingdom. China mainly holds more debts from France and Italy, especially Italy. This year’s military trade orders

Very much.

Because the debt is relatively dispersed, the United States can continue to look at China. In any case, the possibility of China participating in the war on a larger scale is much higher than that of the United States. The reasons are more sufficient and inevitable.

Song Biao is actually also looking at the United States.

Not long after reading these intelligence materials, Jiang Zuobin entered the living room and informed Song Biao that Marquis Arthur Balfour had arrived at Xuanzheng Garden and was waiting for Emperor Hua's announcement.

Song Biao nodded slightly and motioned to Jiang Zuobin to invite the former Prime Minister and current Foreign Secretary of the British Empire in. He stood up and straightened his clothes a little.

Golden autumn and September are a very beautiful season, and any clothes are suitable for you.

Song Biao specially wore an emperor's uniform today based on the Guangfu Tang suit, with a silk satin white background with red and purple brocade dragon patterns, a white silk satin base, a purple brocade dragon pattern, and a vermilion background with white brocade dragon pattern.

The color of the regular clothes is roughly the opposite, and it is also one of the six types of regular clothes that Hua Huang wears most often.

After waiting for a while, Marquis Arthur Balfour, a senior politician in the British Empire who was nearly seventy years old, walked in. After seeing Song Biao, Marquis Arthur Balfour took off his hat and bowed respectfully.

After the Marquis of Balfort stood up, Song Biao shook hands with him in a very approachable manner and invited him to sit down on the chair next to him, without even preparing two different chairs.

Before coming to China, Marquis Arthur Balfour had already been familiar with the imperial court etiquette. Although he had been a little impatient in the past few days, he felt that Emperor Hua was too unwilling to let him, the former Prime Minister of the British Empire, go.

In my eyes, I can see the preferential treatment in etiquette, and my heart seems to feel much better.

He respectfully presented the autograph letters from the King of England and the Emperor of India George V to Song Biao. Before that, he had already presented the autograph letter from Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith to Tang Shaoyi, the Prime Minister of the Empire.

Song Biao carefully opened the letter in front of Marquis Arthur Balfour and browsed it carefully. He basically found nothing that was too nutritious. It was much inferior to the Prime Minister's letter, and this is a constitutional monarchy.

After reading the letter, Song Biao thought for a moment before replying to Marquis Arthur Balfour: "I am a person who likes to start the topic directly, so let us start directly from the war, because what Emperor George said about China

The British friendship basically never really existed, and the British Empire continues to occupy our territory to this day."

After hearing this, Marquis Arthur Balfour couldn't help feeling embarrassed and said: "As for the issue of Hong Kong, Your Majesty, I thought it would be better not to talk about it at a time like this, when we have resolved the war with the Allies.

, we will have more time to deal with this issue."

Song Biao sneered.

Lord Arthur Balfour did not know what to do.

Song Biao said: "Marquis, please allow me to speak on behalf of the collective voice of all Chinese people. If the Sino-French alliance was not more important than anything else at this stage, we would be very happy that Britain was defeated by Germany, and it was completely and without dignity.

Defeated until it is reduced to cinders. You can take my words

Bring it back to the Emperor of the British Empire, bring it back to Prime Minister Herbert, bring it back to all British people, and you can bring it back to the entire world. When you pride yourself on being the noble king of the world and the best nation, you

Just like when we dump opium, when our country and citizens decide to refuse, you use force

Attack us and force our country to be destroyed by opium, while you sit on the Atlantic Ocean and enjoy the silver that you broke the bone marrow of the Chinese people to get. No matter what the outcome of this war is, as long as the empire is not completely wiped out by the British Empire, every day we

In our children's textbooks, we will all refer to the British in the 19th century

The evil and ugliness of ancient times are regarded as the most important subjects and will be passed down from generation to generation until the entire human race disappears. Please rest assured that China has a legacy in historical education and inheritance. Until this year, the White House in 200 BC

Shame, we have clearly passed it down in the history books, and everyone knows it."

Song Biao spoke very indifferently, and finally got back to the topic and said: "So, before you formally apologize and compensate for this, don't expect us to help you defeat Germany. You can only defeat Germany by yourself. You can only rely on your ally France to continue to fight against Germany."

Only when we can no longer defend our homeland will we take serious action and push the Germans back. Of course, if you refuse to apologize and Germany eventually brings down the arrogant British Empire in this war of attrition, that will be our worst outcome.

The results I want to see.”

Marquis Arthur Balfour was completely speechless, although Sir Juldian warned him before the trip that Emperor Hua was an extremely annoying and powerful emperor. The national self-esteem was very high, but he really did not expect it to be this high.

In the eyes of the British Empire, it was just a small thing, and it was not worthy of an apology from a glorious country like the British Empire.

Song Biao didn't care about the expression or psychology of Marquis Arthur Balfour. He had always been a straightforward person. In this regard, he was very similar to Kaiser Wilhelm II, so he often offended people, but he could control the size. No

He can say stupid things without any limit.

What he said is true.

After Song Biao said these words, he was silent for a while before picking up the tea cup from the coffee table. He drank the Keemun black tea in silence. Because some honey was added, the taste was sweeter and the color looked very weird, but

He has always been a very strange person who likes to break through the constraints of convention.

Marquis Arthur Balfour thought painfully for a long time and did not know how to answer. Finally, he could only confess to Song Biao: "Regarding the sale of opium to your country, on behalf of all fair British people, I apologize to you and your country.

I respect His Majesty Hua Huang, but these are things that are not suitable to be discussed at this time. As an Allied Ally, our soldiers

are dying on the battlefield to defend the interests of the entire Allied Powers. In July, we lost 50,000 young soldiers in a few days, all of whom were peace-loving young people. Therefore, on behalf of the Prime Minister, I beg the Chinese Empire to send troops to participate

War, fight hand in hand with glorious Britain, and fight for the victory that will eventually belong to our Allied Powers."

"Fifty thousand people, that's a lot!"

Song Biao laughed ironically and asked rhetorically: "The British Empire forced China to accept the legality of the opium trade. It used this most filthy and evil trade in human history to plunder silver from China, which led to the former dynasty's

How should the country's economy collapse and people be displaced and die? If we really want to keep statistics, in order to let you British

As a result, at least millions, or even tens of millions, of people in China will die as a result of a better life. To whom will we Chinese people settle this debt? Your Majesty, please understand one thing before arriving in China.

Basic human axioms cannot say that only you British are human beings, and we Chinese are beasts compared to you, or even worse than beasts."

Marquis Arthur Balfour no longer knew how to continue the negotiation. He really could not understand why His Majesty would discuss these matters so rudely. If it were not for the fact that China does have some strength now, as the former Prime Minister of the British Empire and the current diplomat

Minister, he should have been severely reprimanded long ago.

He thought that China would definitely regret it. It was a very bad thing to have such a reckless emperor.

Song Biao was angry in his heart, but he always maintained a calm sarcasm. Seeing that Marquis Arthur Balfour really didn't know how to continue the conversation, he said: "Thinking about it from his perspective, if Germany uses its strong strength to force Britain to legalize the opium trade at the same time,

, importing a large amount of high-priced opium to you, giving you British the opportunity to smoke opium starting from your children, and not allowing your government to ban the opium trade, what will you British do?

Introspection, do you think Germany is the most evil and shameless country in the world? Obviously, this is the same truth. The past will never pass, we should remember it firmly, and of course we will not ignore the suffering of the nation.

It is wrong to blame foreign countries. If we were a strong nation, we would not suffer from these unfair, evil and dirty treatments, nor would we be exploited by evil and dirty races."

Marquis Arthur Balfour could not contain his inner anger and asked angrily: "Your Majesty, is this the kind of country that the British Empire is in your heart?"

Song Biao simply replied: "It is not in my heart, but in the hearts of 400 million Chinese people. The reason why I say this to you is to remind you not to treat you as a noble guest.

Don't talk to me with the mentality that the British Empire is supreme and other countries should serve you like bitches.

.In my opinion, no country that pursues the principle that might makes right is truly a good thing. Countries, no matter how big or small, should be equal, just like people should be equal regardless of their wealth. Back to the issue between China and Britain, if we want

To achieve true and lasting peace and friendship, and to conclude a true military alliance, the British Prime Minister

Don’t take China’s idea first, don’t continue to try to split and exploit China, the territory we occupy should be returned proactively and amicably. Don’t try to use those self-righteous ideas on the issue of independence. I say very rudely, China is now

The UK will never be allowed to get involved in the issue of foreign affairs. You can't destroy warships

Enter **, and starting today, no matter how many troops you send over, I will surround you with three times the force and kill them all without leaving any one behind. If you have the ability, you can send 10 million troops to the Asian continent.

In a decisive battle with me, we in China don't have many other people. Even though we have many people, we can still gather an army of 30 million."

At this point, Song Biao finally warned Lord Arthur Balfour: "I am an emperor who can do what he says, so if you want to get angry with me, you'd better think clearly about the consequences."

Marquis Arthur Balfour had no choice but to endure it, but deep down in his heart he wished that the British Empire and Germany should immediately cease the war and send all the British Empire's fleet and army to China to teach this arrogant and ignorant man a lesson.

Hua Huang.

Song Biao didn't care about the attitude of Marquis Arthur Balfour at all, and continued to answer without leaving any room: "You don't want to figure out the Hong Kong and Hong Kong issues, do you still want to wait until the war to continue to dominate China's territory as a victorious country?

?You can go back and put my words back

Tell Prime Minister Asquith, now is the best time for us to solve this problem. With all British people hoping to end the European war as a winner and defeat Germany, the problem of Hong Kong and Japan can be very serious.

Easy solution, no

There are too many people who will raise objections. If it must be delayed until after the war, there will be quarrels within the UK, and all problems will have to be postponed to the next government, or even delayed to the point of being forced to start a war between China and Britain. Don’t think

It's great if you have a fleet. We don't have a fleet, but we have an army. We can conquer Burma and India all the way. Fight a war of attrition with the British in India and Central Asia that is enough to destroy your finances, and fight for as long as ten years. Against the two countries

As far as the country is concerned, why is this necessary?”

Marquis Arthur Balfour couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to challenge the British Empire over this trivial issue?"

Song Biao asked: "Why not? Do you think Britain is still the same Britain it was 20 years ago? Do you think China is still the China it was during the Opium War 35 years ago?"

Marquis Arthur Balfour had nothing to say. He just really realized that the issue of Hong Kong and Japan must be resolved. If there was a direct conflict with China on this issue, it would be terrible for China to join the German-Austrian camp instead.

.

Song Biao waited silently without speaking.

After a long time, Marquis Arthur Balfour replied: "As His Majesty said, it may be time for us to solve these problems. It is not difficult to solve them now."

Song Biao replied: "Yes, as long as the UK decides to really live in peace with China and does not continue to have this mentality of taking advantage of China, and can negotiate peacefully on everything and take a step back, China and the UK can truly

Cooperation. On the other hand, if Britain continues to hold on for such a small benefit, China will not have no reason to abandon the Sino-French military alliance, and this is why I will resolutely keep the troops in Yaping

If I think that cooperation with Britain is the stupidest and most useless decision, and the conditions of the German-Austrian alliance remain unchanged, I will make a decision that is more beneficial to China, and wait until that time

, the target I want should be India, not Hong Kong and Japan. In fact, the conditions of the German-Austrian Alliance are much better than you expected. As the Emperor of China, I just don’t want to make a statement.

And the unfaithful emperor does not want China to become a country that does not abide by its promises and covenants. I am not using the conditions of the German-Austrian alliance to blackmail you. Otherwise, I would have told you long ago instead of waiting until you come.

Of course, you can also understand that I am a very insidious emperor who has been waiting for a situation that is more beneficial to our country. For example, I have been using funds and equipment from Britain and France to expand the production capacity of the military industry.

Expand the exploitation of resources, use this gap to eliminate hidden dangers and returning troops in the northwest, and open up a road to Central Asia. For example, we will gather more than two million main troops on the Sino-Russian border in the north. As long as we decide to join the alliance

camp, we can force Russia to withdraw from the war within half a year, use the Far East Railway to mobilize troops into Germany on a large scale, and use Russian resources to enhance Germany's military strength."
