After a pause, he added: "So, I would like to ask the glorious British Empire to forgive you. Just because you like to exploit China and occupy our land, you will launch an Opium War and a second Opium War at every turn.

Burning the Old Summer Palace once, and Germany at least did not act so wickedly, why would we still do it at this moment?

Maintain unfavorable military deployment against Britain. In fact, you can tell Prime Minister Asquith and Emperor George that allying with France is the most stupid decision in my life. If Germany agreed to return the Jiaoao leased land to China, the current

The international situation would have been completely different, and it is clear that the Kaiser was also more upset about this than I was."

Having said all that, what else could the Marquis Arthur Balfour say?

After thinking for a long time, Marquis Arthur Balfour could only admit: "Yes, as you said, China is indeed born to belong to the German-Austrian alliance camp, but the relationship between Russia and France restricts China from cooperating with the United Kingdom."

Song Biao said: "World politics is like this. Sometimes we not only cannot choose our enemies, we cannot even choose our allies. Of course, the friendship between France, Russia and the empire is deep-rooted, and we cannot choose it just for our own interests."

Tolerate Germany's invasion of France. Even if this war ends, we and France and Russia will still

We will maintain a long-term alliance. I really don’t want to say anything about the UK. Unless China and the UK can settle old scores and we will not blame foreign countries for our nation’s suffering, otherwise there will be no relationship between China and France.

To forge a true alliance, all Britain really has to do is recognize that democracy is inherent in the empire.

Territory, and proactively and in good faith, taking the long-term friendship between China and Britain and the people into consideration, it is enough to return Hong Kong to China in advance. Therefore, we should improve bilateral relations as much as possible while acknowledging the reality.

There are no eternal friends in world politics, but there are no eternal friends either.

Enemy, Britain is the world's largest capital exporter and the most prosperous trading country, and China is a country in urgent need of development. As long as Britain does not continue to be so greedy, China should not blame too many foreign countries for its national responsibilities.

Then it can be completely normal and even very friendly cooperation."

Song Biao's words were both true and false, because China's industry in 1912 was simply not enough to support an alliance with Germany and Austria. If the First World War could be delayed until 1920, the situation might be better.

However, China still lacks the navy to confront Japan, and its coastal industries are likely to be wiped out by the British, Japanese and Australian coalition forces.

If China's industrial level were better and its naval strength was stronger, it could really form an alliance with Germany and Austria, and jointly attack Russia first, and then sweep across Asia and solve Europe.

Song Biao chose to form an alliance with France against his will. It can only be said that he pinned his hopes on World War II. He hoped that China would have enough strength to freely choose its allies at that time, kill the Japanese navy in the most beneficial way, and seize Central and West Asia.

As a source of resources for the empire.

He used such a method of first being ruthless and then relaxing, and then maintaining a blackmail attitude to negotiate with the United Kingdom. This was undoubtedly a relatively unwise approach. Even if the Hong Kong and Taiwan issues could be resolved, and even more achievements could be achieved during this period,

After the end of World War I, there will be a long-term confrontation between China and Britain.

It's just that otherwise it is impossible to force the arrogant and arrogant old empire of the British Empire to make major concessions to China. If you just hope to take back Hong Kong from the British through normal negotiations and solve the Hong Kong issue, that is basically the most stupid thing.

The idea, Churchill said, was that nothing could be taken away from the British Empire without war.

Yes, then through the threat of war.

Considering that Britain adjusted its posture after World War I and re-implemented the policy of suppression and balancing against France, there will definitely be reasons for China and France to form a long-term alliance against Britain. Song Biao was not actually worried that the post-war order would allow Britain to

Manipulated to the point that both China and France were seriously suppressed by the British. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.m
