After the victorious countries successively dealt with the United States, Italy, Russia and France, there was only the last country of the Allies and the most important country, Britain! Britain, the former world overlord! Especially in the Victorian era, Britain, Britain, Britain, was the United Kingdom!
It is the most powerful country in the world! The fleet of the British Royal Navy is cruising in all major oceans in the world, protecting the interests of the British Empire. The overseas colonies of Britain are the largest in the world! However, with the emerging powers
Rise and failures again and again, the former British Empire has become a waste of yesterday. The current British Empire has even been occupied by Chinese and German troops, and the former giant has fallen down!
In the embassy in China, Prime Minister Asquis, Foreign Minister Edward Gray and former Ambassador to China Jurden were frowning at the information they collected. The victorious country's negotiations with Britain were finally put to the end, and for Britain,
It's not a good thing, it's more like China, Germany and Austro-Hungary empires treating Britain as the largest piece of fat and splitting it at the last moment!
"Prince, based on the information we have summarized so far, this meeting is very unfavorable to us! China, Germany and Austro-Hungary empire are very strict in dealing with those defeated countries, and we may not be able to escape this fate!
"British Foreign Minister Sir Edward Grey said with a frustration! They came to Beijing to attend the meeting, but in the end they were bound to suffer such a fate, which made British people who have passed through the Victorian era think this is a kind of deep
Deep humiliation.
"The Chinese will not miss this opportunity to weaken us! But the Germans may help us! According to the secret agreement between us and Germany, they will help us reduce our losses as much as possible!" Prime Minister Asquith said.
The UK has put all hope on the Germans! However, even they themselves cannot be sure whether this hope is guaranteed!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think we should not give up too much hope! When dealing with Russia, the Germans tried their best to fight for the Russians, but it was still useless! In the end, the Germans themselves joined the plunder of Russia themselves.
"Sir Edward Grey said! He is now a little suspicious of the promise made by the Germans. However, now Britain has no chance to renege!
"His Excellency Foreign Minister, we are different from Russia! Our navy and shipbuilding capabilities are what the Germans need! If the Germans want to surpass the Chinese navy, they must cooperate with us! In addition, Russia is facing
There are 6 victorious countries, and Britain only needs to face China and Germany, so Germany will be under much less pressure! Even if we will pay a huge price this time, overall, with the help of Germany, the price we pay will not be
Too heavy!" said Jurden, former British ambassador to China!
Prime Minister Asquis nodded and agreed with Jurden's statement. However, he still couldn't see any happiness on his face. The British mainland was broken, and Ireland was already independent with the support of China.
, Overseas colonies will also be destined to lose all! In addition, the greedy Chinese will definitely not let Britain go like this, they will definitely plunder more territory. There are also huge war reparations, with the greed of the Chinese
, preliminary estimates are that the Chinese will raise at least 3 billion Chinese yuan in war reparations! This is an astronomical figure for Britain, which is now seriously weakened!
"Sir Edward Grey, I think we should visit the German Prime Minister and Foreign Minister now! Reaffirm the cooperation agreement between us!" Prime Minister Asquis said. Only in this way can he feel at ease!
"Okay, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" said Sir Edward Grey. Although he did not think that this would be effective, he did not object! Now Britain is at a loss and can only treat dead horses as living horses.

On the evening of October 26, British Prime Minister Asquis and Foreign Minister Sir Edward Grey secretly went to the German Embassy in China and visited German Prime Minister Holvig and Foreign Minister Strezeman. It was not until 1 a.m.
leave.
At 9 am on October 27, the peace meeting continued. This time the peace meeting was to deal with Britain, and the countries involved were mainly China and Germany. Of course, when the overseas colonies of Britain were divided in the future, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would be a major country.
One of them will also be divided into one point. As for other countries, they can only serve as audiences. However, being able to see the fall of the former world overlord still makes all countries very excited. When Britain dominated the world, there were no fewer countries in various countries
Bullying from Britain! Now that Britain is in trouble, they will certainly take the opportunity to take the blame! Of course, if they can get some benefits, it will be the best! However, the possibility is too low!
Envier Pasha, the representative of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, is undoubtedly the most tangled one! The former Ottoman Turkish Empire was a powerful empire spanning Asia, Europe and Africa. However, the invasion of Britain and France made too much of their territory become Britain and France
The colonies of the two countries have finally won the British and French countries, but these colonies have fallen into China's hands. The Ottoman Turkish Empire had thought of returning these colonies from China, especially the rich Middle East.
. However, their requests were rejected, which made Envier Pasha feel a little dissatisfied! However, due to China's strong military strength, the Ottoman Turkish Empire dared not express anything!
At that time, when the needle was pointed at 9 o'clock, the meeting officially began. British Prime Minister Asquis and Foreign Minister Sir Edward Grey were already present, Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi and Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo were also present. German representatives
Prime Minister Holwig and Foreign Minister Strezeman have also sat in their own position. Prime Minister Mario Weber of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Earl of Foreign Minister Leopold von Bercidord were sitting in the scene.
As an audience. Without involving the overseas colonies of Britain, nothing happened to them!
"Everyone, today's meeting officially began! Today's meeting content is mainly about the discussion of the UK's disposal plan! The countries participating in the attack are China and Germany! Therefore, the discussion of the UK's disposal plan is mainly composed of China.
Let's complete it with Germany!" said Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang. He knew that today's negotiations were probably the most difficult one. China and Germany might intensify the conflict again when dealing with the UK issue! Of course, China is not
Fear, their strong military strength gave them enough confidence!
German Prime Minister Holvig and Foreign Minister Strezerman nodded expressionlessly. Germany's strategy is to win over Britain, and with the help of Britain's strength in naval and shipbuilding, the German Navy can rise rapidly.
Have the strength to challenge the Chinese navy! But they also know that China must be very clear about this. It will be very difficult for Germany to achieve this goal!
British Prime Minister Asquith and Foreign Minister Sir Edward Grey seemed very helpless. They were like weak lambs, waiting for their destiny. And the butcher of China has already raised the butcher's knife high.
!
"British is one of the dominant countries of the Allies. During this world war, Britain caused huge losses to all countries! Therefore, the Chinese government hopes to deal with Britain severely! In this regard, we put forward the following requirements: First
, Britain gave up all overseas colonies and the victorious countries distributed these colonies! Second, Britain ceded the Wales region, Cornwall Peninsula and the Channel Islands to China! Third, Britain compensated China and Germany for war reparations, totaling 5 billion Chinese dollars
, China enjoys 70% of these war reparations! Fourth, limiting Britain's arms, Britain is not allowed to have a navy and air force, the army retains only 50,000 people, and tanks, armored vehicles and cannons with caliber exceeding one hundred millimeters!
5. All shipyards in the UK have been demolished, and only small shipyards that manufacture fishing boats are retained!" Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi thought of the disposal plan determined by China!
"Wow!" After hearing China's disposal plan for Britain, representatives from various countries immediately discussed it! There is no doubt that among the defeated countries, the disposal plan for Britain is undoubtedly the most ruthless! Britain has not only lost it
All overseas colonies were lost, and China now has to take up a piece of the British land. The war compensation is 5 billion Chinese yuan. Even if Britain was the former world overlord, it would probably not be able to bear it!
The two-year war has consumed almost all the wealth accumulated by Britain over the years. In particular, the losses of the British navy have caused great losses to Britain! China's request to demolish the British shipyard, which is undoubtedly a fundamental solution to the UK.
A threat to China!
"These conditions are too harsh, and Britain will not agree!" British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey jumped up and shouted loudly! If Britain agrees with such conditions, then Britain will never turn around forever
A chance!
"If this is the last request of the Chinese government, the British government will reject these requests!" British Prime Minister Asquith also said!
"At this moment, does Britain still have any choice?" Marshal Jiang Xingguo, the Minister of Defense of China, said disdainfully. Britain is now under military occupation by China and Germany!
Suddenly, Prime Minister Asquith and Foreign Minister Sir Edward Grey were full of shame and anger! (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
