At 1 o'clock in the morning on May 21, Beijing time, the Chinese Emperor Wang Yuze was woken up. Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi, Army Minister Zhao Bowen, Navy Minister Zhang Cheng and Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo, five people urgently asked for a meeting. Wu, the Chief of Guards
Hao did not dare to be negligent, so he asked the most important ministers to go to His Majesty the Emperor's study room and went to find the Emperor Wang Yuze in person.
Emperor Wang Yuze had just fallen asleep and was not in good spirits after being woken up by the captain of the bodyguard Wu Hao. However, he also knew that if there was no urgent matter, the ministers would not come to see him at this time. Therefore, he
Still, he cheered up and walked out of the palace.
"What happened? Is there something wrong with the Italian war?" On the way to the imperial study, Wang Yuze asked Wu Hao, the captain of the guard. He originally did not pay attention to the Chinese army and navy's attack on Italy. This
The plan for a raid on Rome is already very thorough. As long as there are no accidents, there should be no problem.
"Your Majesty, I don't know for sure. None of the adults said anything. However, their faces don't look very good. There must be something wrong on the front line!" Wu Hao, the captain of the guard, said.
Hearing what Wu Hao said, Wang Yuze's face became a little ugly. This attack on Italy is very important. After defeating Italy, the Chinese army will implement the third battle plan, which is also the most important battle plan.
.
After arriving at the Imperial Study Room, several ministers quickly saluted Wang Yuze. Wang Yuze waved his hand. Although he had been the emperor for almost twenty years, he was still not used to these false courtesy. After Wu Hao asked people to prepare strong tea, he spoke directly
Asked: "What happened? Is there something wrong on the Italian battlefield?"
"Your Majesty, there was indeed an accident on the Italian battlefield! Originally, our attack went very smoothly. It only took 4 hours from the launch of the attack to the siege of Rome. And the Italian King Vittorio Emanuele was
King Rai III and senior officials of the Italian government surrounded Rome. However, at the most critical moment, something unexpected happened!" said Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of Army.
"Oh? What happened?" Wang Yuze asked in surprise.
The army has surrounded Rome and has blocked the Italian king and senior government officials in Rome. Will there be any accidents at this time? He was a little confused.
"Your Majesty, it's like this. After the army surrounded Rome, the Italian King Vittorio Emanuele III and all the senior government officials hid in the Vatican, leaving our army in vain. Now, our
The army has surrounded the Vatican and is confronting the Vatican Guards. However, whether they want to attack the Vatican and capture it by force
The generals on the front line are undecided about arresting the King of Italy and senior government officials!" Prime Minister Wu Tingfang continued. He also felt that it was very difficult. If it were other countries, even if they were powerful countries, China would attack them directly without hesitation.
But the Vatican is different. Although this country is weak, the significance it represents is extraordinary!
"Have people from the Vatican interfered? Don't they always care about secular political power?" Wang Yuze asked in surprise. If those guys from the Vatican intervened, things would be really troublesome. With China's strength, it can completely ignore the Vatican.
But at most, the two sides are on equal footing. But if they want to use force against the Vatican, then China will really become the enemy of the entire Western world.
"I don't know what's going on! But now the Italian king and senior government officials have taken refuge in the Vatican! If we cannot capture the Italian king and senior government officials, it will be impossible for us to end the Italian battlefield as soon as possible
Got it!" Wu Tingfang said.
"The relationship between His Majesty the Vatican and the Kingdom of Italy was originally very tense. But this time the Vatican took the risk to help the Italian king and government. There must be some shady deal between them. It's just that we can't know what deal they have.
!" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said. Obviously, the sudden intervention of the Vatican put the Italian campaign launched by the Chinese army into trouble!
"It has become such a situation now. So what do you think we should do now?" Wang Yuze asked. He didn't have any good ideas. If he forcibly attacked the Vatican, he would certainly be able to win, but he would probably be attacked by China and the entire world.
The opposition of Western time. When the time comes, China’s overseas rule will also
Those fools who are shaken and bewitched by the Holy See will definitely use all kinds of methods to attack China. Maybe the terrorism of later generations will be staged in advance. The United States in later generations will be so powerful that they will not be able to deal with those terrorist attacks.
, which made Wang Yuze very afraid. Therefore, how to deal with the Vatican made him very embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, I don't think we need to care about the Vatican! The Vatican! Although its status is lofty, it is only in the Western world! In the East, it is still! The emperor is supreme! Moreover, this time it is the Vatican that intervenes in our war with Italy.
They are seeking death themselves, no wonder we are!" Navy Chief
Chen Zhangcheng said directly. He didn't take the Vatican seriously. If it were him, I'm afraid he would have ordered the Navy's carrier-based aircraft force to bomb the Vatican. He would like to see what happens in the face of China
When Navy carrier-based aircraft bomb, will the so-called God show up and save his servants?
"No, we cannot use force. If we attack the Vatican by force, the entire Western world will become our enemy!" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi.
"Hmph! So what if we are enemies of the entire Western world? We may not be afraid of them!" Army Minister Zhao Bowen also said. In this world war, the strength of Western countries has been devastated.
Especially in countries such as the United States, France and Russia, their industrial facilities were destroyed. And China
However, it has made great progress in this war. Not only has it gained vast overseas colonies, but it has also obtained a large amount of industrial equipment and talents from the United States. This will enable China's strength to grow by leaps and bounds. There is a decline here and a rise in the other.
Under such circumstances, even if the Western world unites, it cannot be an enemy of China!
Marshal Zhao Bowen's words made Wang Yuze's eyes light up. The current situation is indeed the case. China no longer has to fear the Western world. After the fall of the United States, China's biggest enemy no longer exists. The Chinese Army is no worse than the German Army.
, and in a huge population
Given the advantages, China can even arm an army that exceeds that of the entire West! The Chinese Navy is truly the number one in the world. When the first batch of Wuyue-class aircraft carriers enter service at the end of the year, the strength of the Chinese Navy will once again be enhanced.
Improve. When the time comes, China
The navy is fully capable of blocking the entire Europe. As for the air force, it has left the entire Western world behind. Strong military strength is undoubtedly the source of Wang Yuze's confidence. With strong military support, Wang Yuze is completely
Don’t worry about the divine authority represented by the Vatican
The reason why Wang Yuze does not want to break up with the entire Western world now is because he wants to further weaken the Western world. In this case, the price China has to pay for gaining world hegemony will be much smaller! But the current situation makes him have no choice but to
Don’t be prepared for conflicts to break out in advance!
"Your Majesty, if this dispute can be resolved peacefully, it will be great. But if the Vatican refuses to give in and must protect the Italian king and senior government officials, then we will have no choice but to use force against the Vatican!" Cabinet!
Prime Minister Wu Tingfang also agreed. Today, China can no longer be bullied by any country, not even God!
"Yes!" Wang Yuze nodded. The support from the government gave him more confidence!
"Your Majesty, how about this! Let the frontline commanders warn the Vatican first and ask them to hand over the Italian king and senior government officials to us within a time limit! This is a secular war, and the Vatican has no need to intervene. If they refuse, we
Let's use other methods. If the Vatican doesn't hand over people, we can send troops to the Vatican
The Vatican forcibly arrests people! However, we cannot fire first! If the Vatican’s Vatican Guards fire first, then we can use this to teach the Vatican a lesson! By then, we will also have an explanation to the empire’s citizens.
!After all, the whole incident is a challenge to us from the Vatican!” suggested Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo!
Wang Yuze thought for a while and decided to adopt Jiang Xingguo's suggestion. Being able to resolve this dispute peacefully is undoubtedly the best result. If the Vatican does not want to cause trouble for itself, then after China has taken a tough stance, they should
Will shrink back.
If the Vatican is still unwilling to give in, then they are seeking death themselves! In this world, divine power has long declined, and imperial power is supreme. Especially in Eastern time, after thousands of years of feudal rule, imperial power has established its dominance.
Got it!
"Send a telegram to the front line and ask them to warn the Vatican that the King of Italy and senior government officials must be handed over to us within 24 hours. Otherwise, all the consequences will be borne by the Vatican itself!" Wang Yuze said in a deep voice. This time, he said
We need to see if the Vatican, the so-called representative of God, has the courage to continue to confront China.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" said Army Minister Zhao Bowen.
When Marshal Zhao Bowen sent His Majesty the Emperor's order to Rome, the senior generals of the empire who received the order immediately cheered!
