"So, what do you think about this? Should we support Ireland to become an independent country?" Wang Yuze asked. Although, supporting Ireland and allowing Ireland to separate from the United Kingdom is of great significance to China.
Benefits. However, he still needs to listen to everyone's opinions! However, he thinks everyone will not object.
"Your Majesty, the military agrees with supporting Irish independence! After the end of the world war, the Empire will compete with Germany for world hegemony! However, Europe is too far away from the Empire, and the Empire needs to establish a series of military bases in Europe
That would work! If we can make Ireland and
If the empire forms an alliance, the empire can use Ireland to deploy enough troops to achieve the goal of blocking Germany in Europe! In this case, even if a war breaks out, it will only break out in Europe and will not have any impact on the empire itself.
Under such a situation of ebb and flow, Germany's
The war potential will be gradually weakened, and the empire's strength will further increase, which is very beneficial to the empire's future wars!" Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of the General Staff, said! The biggest problem facing the military now is
How to defeat Germany across half the world. Comic
A long logistics supply line is enough for the Chinese army to pay a huge price for this, and its combat power will also be greatly restricted. If there are large bases close to Europe, then these problems can be solved! Now
It seems that Ireland is undoubtedly a good choice!
"Your Majesty, Ireland has a long coastline and many natural harbors. If we can obtain a naval base in Ireland, it will help improve the combat power of the Imperial Navy in Europe!" Marshal Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy, also said. The navy's warships,
Often after a few months of service, they need to return to the shipyard for repairs. If there is no naval base in Europe, these warships have to return to their homeland. It takes two or three months to go back and forth, which not only wastes a lot of fuel and
Other supplies will also waste a lot of time!
Wang Yuze nodded. He had expected that the military would agree with China's support for Ireland. With the end of the world war, China's military focus has shifted to how to improve its strength and continue to maintain its advantage over Germany.
And how to defeat Germany in future wars, and defeat Germany at the minimum cost! Establishing a series of military bases in Europe to form a tight line of defense has undoubtedly become China's best choice. Of course, so is Wang Yuze himself
Prefer this choice!
"Your Majesty, will this further worsen the relationship between us and Germany? The British have not surrendered to us yet, and the post-war peace talks have not yet begun! If we fall out with the Germans, during the peace talks
At that time, the Germans will definitely cause trouble for us! In this case, many interests of the empire will not be guaranteed! If possible, can Ireland's independence be postponed until the peace negotiations are concluded?" Prime Minister Wu Tingfang was somewhat worried.
said!
Wang Yuze thought for a moment, then shook his head. He remembered that the Paris Peace Conference in another time and space lasted for more than half a year! This time, China and the Allied Powers won the world war. At the same time, the leadership of China and the Allied Powers
Because conflicts began to surface in Germany, during the peace negotiations
They will definitely hold each other back. This will inevitably lead to a greatly extended time for peace negotiations. The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it will be! Besides, the benefits China has already achieved on the battlefield will never be used in negotiations.
Lost on the table! China’s powerful military strength is the most powerful guarantee for everything!
"We have strong military strength as a guarantee, and the benefits we have gained on the battlefield will not be lost! The same is true at the negotiation table! Until the peace agreement is signed, the three armies of the empire will maintain combat readiness to avoid unexpected situations! Cabinet and Foreign Affairs
During the negotiation process,
Be sure to pay attention to this! When necessary, you can use force to deter! The military will give you the greatest support!" Wang Yuze said in a deep voice. These words undoubtedly showed his intentions! Now China has the confidence
, and also have the strength to obtain these things that should be obtained!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Wu Tingfang and Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi both replied! The military also expressed that it would provide the cabinet with the greatest support! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng even shouted that if any country dares to harm the interests of the empire, the Navy will
The battleships and aircraft carriers will blow their coast into ruins! The Chinese Navy has become the number one in the world, and it is already qualified to say such arrogant and arrogant words!
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then we can start negotiations with Ireland! The military also needs to give a detailed plan on how many bases it will acquire in Ireland, how many troops and weapons and equipment it will deploy, etc.!" said the Minister of Foreign Affairs!
Tang Shaoyi said!
"For specific issues, the cabinet and the military should negotiate!" Wang Yuze said. He only needs to grasp the general direction. If he had to do everything personally, he would be exhausted long ago. How could he be as carefree as he is now!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" everyone replied loudly!
Afterwards, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on behalf of the Chinese Cabinet, and military representatives held secret talks with Arthur Griffiths and other important figures in the Irish Sinn Féin Party. Both parties had the same needs, but there were differences in the specific details.
It was just a slight difference. Therefore, in just two days, China and the Irish Sinn Fein reached an agreement!
At 10 a.m. on July 9, Beijing time, Irish Sinn Féin leader Arthur Griffiths and others held a press conference in Beijing. At the meeting, Arthur Griffiths announced the establishment of Irish independence
The Republic of Ireland belongs to the Irish people, and he appointed himself as the interim president of the provisional government of the Republic of Ireland. After the situation in the country stabilizes, Ireland will hold a general election and elect a formal president!
Ireland's declaration of independence immediately caused an uproar! The German Ambassador to China, August von Klind, immediately protested, claiming that Ireland's approach was unreasonable and that Germany would not recognize Ireland's international status! However,
, other members of the Allied Powers have chosen to remain silent. Ireland’s independence is obviously supported by China! China is too strong
It’s too big, and they can’t offend China for the sake of an Ireland! Besides, behind this is the confrontation between China and Germany. After the fall of the Allies, China and Germany have become the most powerful countries in the world, ranking second in a row.
Compared with China and Germany, there is still a huge gap between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and China. If you join in hastily, you will definitely pay a heavy price!
Subsequently, China and the Irish Provisional Government signed a series of political, military and economic treaties, all of which showed that Ireland had received support from China! Among them, the most important treaty was that Ireland officially became an ally of China, and China
Responsible for the security of Ireland, any attack on the Republic of Ireland is equivalent to launching a war against China! In addition, militarily, China will assist the Republic of Ireland in establishing an army force with a total number of 100,000 people to safeguard the Republic of Ireland.

All! At the same time, the officers of the Republic of Ireland will also go to China to receive training and learn new tactical guidance! What attracts the most attention to European countries is that China will deploy more than 100,000 troops in Ireland, including the army, navy and air force!
There is no doubt that the targets of these troops are the United Kingdom and Germany behind the United Kingdom! As for the economy, China will provide an interest-free loan of 100 million Chinese dollars and a low-interest loan of 200 million Chinese dollars to the Republic of Ireland.
It’s not that noticeable anymore!
At this moment, Ireland was originally under the control of the Chinese Army. When China landed on the British mainland, it sent several infantry divisions to land on the island of Ireland. This is not the focus of the British Army's defense. There are less than 100,000 British soldiers on the island.
It's just an army! They may have no problem dealing with the Irish Volunteer Army, but they are no match for the elite Chinese Army. Faced with
The powerful Chinese Army, these British Army formally surrendered to the Chinese Army after slight resistance! After China and the Republic of Ireland signed the alliance, the Chinese Army has begun to formally transfer defense areas to the Irish Volunteer Army. These Irish Volunteer Army, too
It will then be reorganized into the Irish Army and become an overseas force under the command of the Chinese General Staff!
The British government's reaction to Ireland's independence was the most intense! After losing all its overseas colonies, Britain's land area was only over 300,000 square kilometers. Now that it has lost the island of Ireland, it is undoubtedly once again being brutally attacked.
Cut off a piece of flesh! However, Britain is currently under military occupation by China and Germany, and Britain can only verbally protest. For China and Ireland,
None of them will be of any use. On the contrary, the pressure on the British government is increasing. Many British people ask the government to end the war as soon as possible. Since Britain has been defeated, there is no need to continue to hold on. This war
The war has already cost the British a huge price. If it continues to be dragged on, they are very likely to pay an even greater price! For this reason, the Asquith cabinet had to speed up its research on the process of China's surrender!
Germany, China's nominal ally, is also very angry about China's support for Irish independence. Everyone in Germany has seen what kind of threat China and Ireland will pose to Germany after the alliance! (To be continued. Please search
