    Seeing Wang Yuze's solemn expression, Zhou Rongxuan was shocked and asked quickly: "Yuze, do you want to fight the United States? The United States is not easy to deal with, although their army is very weak and their navy is also weak.  It has just started. But the industrial strength of the United States is several times that of ours. If a war really breaks out, we may have no chance of winning!" Zhou Rongxuan has lived in the United States for decades, and is naturally very clear about the terrifying strength of the United States.  Although the United States is currently weak in military strength, if the United States fully develops its armaments, China will not be a rival to the United States at all.  Coupled with the thousands-mile barrier of the Pacific Ocean, it is simply impossible for China to defeat the United States.

    Yang Hua and Pu Xu were also shocked. They did not expect Wang Yuze to have such ambitions.  Especially Pu Xu, who had not been a director for many years, was very excited to be invited to the banquet by Wang Yuze and talk about national affairs without hesitation.  Hearing Zhou Rongxuan talk about the power of the United States made him a little worried.

    "Don't worry! We will not go into a full-scale war with the United States. Now is not the time. However, in the next three years, we and the United States may have some frictions or even minor conflicts. In this case, Xihua Group's situation in the United States will be  It's rather embarrassing. Although the Americans will not attack the Xihua Group blatantly, it is still possible to cause some stumbling blocks secretly. Therefore, it is better for the Xihua Group to withdraw from the country as soon as possible!" Wang Yuze explained.  Today's China is not a rival to the United States economically and industrially, but Wang Yuze is confident that it will catch up with the United States within ten years.  Moreover, China's military strength is much stronger than that of the United States. The United States may not go to war with China for the sake of interests in the Pacific.

    "That's good!" Zhou Rongxuan felt relieved now. He was really afraid that Wang Yuze would be dazzled by the victory and want to attack the United States!  "But Yuze, what's going on? Tell me carefully!" Zhou Rongxuan asked again.

    ¡°Let¡¯s let the Chief of General Staff do the talking! The General Staff Headquarters is responsible for formulating the specific plan!¡± Wang Yuze said.

    "Old Zhou! The specific situation is this. Our rise will inevitably cause conflicts between us and the United States in competing for interests in the Pacific. Although there will not be a war now, it will be very difficult to say in the future. For this reason, we have to  We have to seize the opportunity first. We are too far away from the United States, so we must get an advance base not far from the United States!" Xiong Wu said with a smile.

    "Hawaii! Do you want Hawaii? Hawaii has been regarded as a sphere of influence by the United States. Now there are very high calls in the United States to turn Hawaii into the 50th state of the United States. If we want to compete with the United States for Hawaii, I am afraid it will  It caused a strong backlash in the United States!" Zhou Rongxuan said.  The importance of Hawaii cannot be doubted.  Moreover, now that Hawaii is controlled by the Republic of Hawaii supported by the United States, how can China be allowed to seize food from the tiger's mouth?

    "Don't worry, Old Zhou. The United States doesn't have the strength to fight us now. As long as we take Hawaii and create a fait accompli, the Americans can't do anything to us. Going to war with us? Then we don't mind beating them to pieces.  . For their army, we only need to send two divisions to completely defeat their entire army. Their navy, those 'Indiana-class' combat capabilities, the comprehensive combat power may not even be comparable to our heavy cruisers!"  Xiong Wu said disdainfully.  The current U.S. Army only has 100,000 soldiers.  And its combat effectiveness is low, so it is no match for the Chinese army that has experienced hundreds of battles.  Just pick two divisions at random and you can easily defeat the US Army.  As for the navy, although the United States has good manufacturing capabilities, it has long lagged far behind Europe in warship design. Even China is not weaker than the United States in this regard.  The current strength of the Chinese navy is simply not something that the United States can deal with.  Moreover, the U.S. Navy only has one battleship on the west coast of the United States, and the Panama Canal has not yet been opened to navigation. It will take a lot of time for the U.S. Navy to reinforce their Pacific Fleet.  And this will also give the Chinese Navy a chance to defeat them.  Therefore, the United States has nothing to worry about at this stage.  Once China acquires Hawaii and establishes a foothold there, it will not be that easy for the United States to expand to the Pacific.

    Seeing that Xiong Wu was so sure, Zhou Rongxuan had no choice but to say nothing more.  He also knows what benefits China will get after acquiring Hawaii.  As for Yang Hua and Pu Xu, they did not speak at all.  Moreover, what Xiong Wu said was clear and logical, so naturally there was no need to worry anymore.

    "Prince Ding, after the establishment of the new dynasty, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your title. However, I won't be stingy and will give you a title. It's just because you have no merit, and our Western Sichuan tradition has always been based on  Titles are allocated based on merit. So, please understand this!" Wang YuZe said.  He had no ill feelings towards Pu Xu, the loser in the Manchu clan, and since he was his father-in-law, he naturally had to respect him more.

    "Yuze, I'm fine, I don't need special care at all! The Qing Dynasty has led China astray over the years, and I am ashamed of the people of the world!" Pu Xu said.  He really didn't pay much attention to things like titles.  As Wang Yuze's father-in-law, he will be the father-in-law of the empire in the future. Who dares to underestimate him?

    "That's good! However, I heard that some Manchus don't seem to understand the situation clearly and want to go against heaven and restore the Qing Dynasty. Does your father-in-law know about this?" Wang Yuze asked.

    Pu Xu couldn't help but shuddered all over. Although Wang Yuze was smiling when he said this, he had a shuddering feeling. He couldn't help but curse those guys who didn't stop. They were trying to kill millions of people.  People are being pushed towards a dead end!  However, he really didn't know the details, because he became Wang Yuze's father-in-law, and other Manchus automatically rejected him.  Pu Xu didn't care at all about this. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still there, wasn't he also rejected by these guys?  But now, he is still prosperous, but those guys have become losers.

    "Yuze, I really don't know about this. However, I will arrange for someone to inquire about it. If there is any news, I will inform you immediately!" Pu Xu said.  His interests are now tied to Wang Yuze.  Although he is a clan member of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if the Qing Dynasty is restored successfully, I am afraid that the first person to be killed will be him, a traitor to the Manchu people.  Therefore, he did not want the restoration of the Qing Dynasty to succeed!

    "That's good! The Military Intelligence Bureau and the Ministry of Interior will cooperate with you when the time comes! I don't want any trouble to occur during the enthronement ceremony!" Wang Yuze said.  Now the enthronement ceremony is a first-class event. If it is ruined, it will be enough to make him so angry that he wants to kill someone!

    After that, everyone talked about other things until late at night before leaving the palace.

    Prince Li Shiduo has been having a very unsatisfactory life recently.  The Manchu Qing Dynasty was overthrown. Although it did not kill him, it greatly reduced his family property.  Of course, this is already much better than those who had their property confiscated or even shot.  However, Shi Duo was very dissatisfied with this kind of foolish old man's life. He only wanted to return to his previous life of being surrounded by people.

    Prince Li Shiduo was undoubtedly the first person among the Manchu dignitaries to have good relations with western Sichuan.  However, because of the intervention of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Pu Xu got an advantage, otherwise he would have become Wang Yuze's father-in-law, and where would it be Pu Xu's turn!  However, Shi Duo did not give up. He knew that some Manchus in Beijing were plotting evil. If he reported this news to Wang Yuze, Wang Yuze would definitely look at him differently.  By then, Shiduo's meteoric rise will be right in front of him!  Although Shi Duo is over fifty years old, his love for power has not weakened even a little.  However, he knows the current situation. The Manchu Qing Dynasty is completely over and there is no possibility of restoration. He will only get involved in messing around with those who have evil intentions.  Moreover, he does not mind using the lives of these compatriots in exchange for his glory and wealth.

    On the evening of September 2, a simple carriage entered from the back door of Prince Li's Mansion. An old man with gray hair and beard stepped out of the carriage and was quietly introduced into Prince Li's study by the housekeeper of Prince Li's Mansion.

    Prince Li was already impatient with waiting. When he saw the old man coming in, he immediately urged: "You're finally here. How are things going?"

    "Slave Ronglu meets the prince!" The old man saluted Shi Duo, but was pulled up by Shi Duo.  This old man was none other than Ronglu, who had risen to the rank of infantry commander. Among the officials of the Qing Dynasty, he was also a first-rate dignitary.

    "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the minions have successfully infiltrated into their ranks. Now, they have completely trusted the minions. As long as the Prince sets a date for the operation, we will be able to catch them all in one fell swoop!" Rong Lu said with a smile.  Although he was nearly sixty years old, he was still a man who couldn't bear loneliness. When he was bewitched by Prince Li, he immediately planned to use the blood of other Manchus to build their glory and wealth.

    "Okay, let's go find Prince Ding immediately. To avoid a long night and many dreams!" Prince Li Shiduo said.  Now that their status is no longer what it was before, it is even more impossible to see Wang Yuze. They can only find a way with Pu Xu.  Although they all felt unhappy with Pu Xu and were unwilling to share the credit with Pu Xu, there was nothing they could do about it!

    The two quietly got into a simple carriage and drove to the Engagement Prince's Mansion in the dark.
