    Wu Tingfang, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, received the ministers of Britain, France and the United States to China in the reception room.  After knowing the specific bottom line from Wang Yuze, he probably knew how to negotiate with the United States.  However, the American Minister to China, Tian Bei, brought the British Minister to China, Organa, and the French Minister to China, Tian Chun. This did not surprise him.

    "My three ministers, do you know why you are here?" Wu Tingfang said with a smile.  Anyway, the Pacific Fleet won the battle, and it is the United States that should be worried now, not China.  The Pacific Fleet is already on its way back to Hawaii. After resting and replenishing, it will be able to dispatch again.  If the United States does not understand iconography, the Pacific Fleet will have no choice but to take a trip to the West Coast of the United States.  In addition, because the shipyard in Hawaii is undergoing expansion, the heavily damaged battleship Qinghai and heavy cruiser Chongqing can only return to the mainland for repairs.  The captured USS Oregon battleship will also be returned to the mainland for refitting.  The Navy Department has quickly come up with a plan to replace the power and naval guns of the 'Oregon' so that its comprehensive combat power can reach that of a 'Plateau Class' battleship. After the modification, it will enter service in the Pacific Fleet, making the Pacific Fleet more capable.  The number of battleships increased to three.

    "Lord Wu Tingfang! Your navy brutally attacked our fleet in the Eastern Pacific, causing the sinking of dozens of warships of our navy and tens of thousands of casualties. Our government requires your country to apologize to our country for this matter and compensate our country for both economic and military losses.  billion pounds. For the security of the Pacific region, the Chinese Navy must withdraw from Hawaii!" U.S. Minister to China Tian Bei said immediately.

    Wu Tingfang's face suddenly darkened. If he remembered correctly, it was the Chinese Pacific Fleet that won the battle.  Looking at Tian Bei's performance, it seemed as if the U.S. Navy had won the battle, which made Wu Tingfang's anger suddenly burn.  These foreigners have always looked down upon China. Even though they are defeated now, they still look so arrogant. It is really abominable!

    "Your Excellency Tian Bei! This military conflict was obviously started by you, the U.S. Navy, and it was you who caused it! The actions of the U.S. Navy caused huge losses to the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet. On behalf of the Imperial Chinese Government, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the U.S. Government  Raise a solemn protest and demand that the U.S. government apologize to the Chinese Empire and compensate our military expenditure of 200 million pounds!" Wu Tingfang also responded uncompromisingly.

    "No, you are framing this! You were the one who opened fire first!" Of course Tian Bei would not admit it.  It's okay if you win, but if you still admit that you fired first after defeat, you're looking for death.

    "Hmph! Whoever fires first is easy to solve. The commander of the US Navy's West Coast Fleet, Lieutenant General Mahan, and the deputy commander, Lieutenant General Benson, have both been captured by us. I think we will be able to figure this out soon!"  Wu Tingfang said contemptuously.  It is delusional for Americans to want to mess around with this issue.  The entire responsibility for this military conflict must be placed on the shoulders of the Americans.

    "Even if we opened fire first, it was because your warships broke into our country's territorial waters without authorization to spy on our navy's military intelligence!" Tian Bei replied.  This time, thousands of people in the U.S. Navy were captured, and all the major generals were captured. Therefore, it was simply impossible for him to distort the facts.

    "Okay, you two. There must be some misunderstanding in this military conflict between China and the United States. For the sake of world peace, the British Empire believes that the two countries should resolve this conflict through friendly consultations, so that  Peace has come to the skies over the Pacific!" Organizer, the British Minister to China, quickly smoothed things over.  The Americans have obviously lost the war, but they are still so messy. This is simply ignorant!  If Britain hadn't still expected the United States to deal with China, he wouldn't have helped the United States like this!

    "Well, as Minister Organa said, there must be some misunderstanding in this military conflict between China and the United States. Our Chinese Empire is very willing to coexist peacefully with the United States. However, this time the U.S. Navy attacked for no reason  Our Pacific Fleet has caused huge losses to our country. His Majesty the Emperor is also very angry. Therefore, the US government must compensate our losses, otherwise this will not be accepted by the Chinese people!" Wu Tingfang said bluntly.  His meaning is also very clear. No matter who is right or wrong, the United States has lost the war now.  Then, the United States must be willing to admit defeat.  Otherwise, China will take further actions.

    "Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, this time our US Navy's losses are more serious. You should compensate us for our losses!" Tian Bei still refused to let go.  He knew that if he let go, what awaited the United States would be the butcher knife held high by China.

    "Since Minister Tianbei insists, then I have nothing to say. We will reserve the right to take all actions."Gains, including military means, and even declaration of war!  "Wu Tingfang said firmly.

    "Declaration of war? God! Is China going to fully attack the United States?" Tian Chun, the French Minister to China, exclaimed.

    The expression of Tian Bei, the U.S. Minister to China, also changed.  Now that the main force of the U.S. Navy has been eliminated, the U.S. Navy is simply unable to resist the Chinese Navy's advance.  If China really declares war on the United States, the United States will simply not be able to resist it.  As long as the Chinese transport several divisions of elite troops to land in the United States, it will be impossible for the United States' patchwork army to be able to withstand it.

    "Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, the attitude of the British Empire has been very obvious. We hope for world peace! If a war breaks out between China and the United States, this is definitely not what the British Empire wants to see. The British Empire will take necessary measures to prevent the outbreak of war!"  Organa, the British Minister to China, said immediately.  The United States is not yet China's opponent. No matter what, it has to wait until Britain arms the United States!  Therefore, Organa did not hesitate to use intimidation methods to force China to give up its intention to declare war.

    "Is the UK planning to declare war on our country? If so, then our country has no choice. Even if our country cannot defeat the UK, our country will fight to the death!" Wu Tingfang said sternly.

    "No, no, no! Mr. Wu Tingfang, you have misunderstood me. The British Empire has no intention of going to war with China. We just hope to achieve peace. Britain will not bully China with its strong military strength, and China will not use its strong military strength to bully China. You cannot use force to deal with the United States. This is our country¡¯s attitude!¡± said Organizer, the British Minister to my country.

    "The French government also hopes that peace can be maintained between China and the United States. If a war breaks out, it will be extremely detrimental to France's interests. France will then work with the United Kingdom to make efforts for world peace!" Tian Chun, French Minister to China  He also said it at the right time.  France is very uneasy about the rise of China.  Their Indochina colony has always been under threat from China.  Although, in the past two years, China has focused its main energy on dealing with Japan and developing its economy.  But the French are not stupid. They know that if China solves Japan, a powerful enemy, its next step will probably be to expand outward.  And when the time comes, their Indochina colony will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

    "The Chinese Empire also very much hopes to see peace. But the current situation is obvious. It is clearly the fault of the U.S. government, but they do not admit their mistakes and refuse to compensate our country for its losses. Therefore, there is no way to continue the discussion.  We can use other means to resolve the dispute!" Wu Tingfang said somewhat helplessly.

    Organa glanced at Tian Bei, and then said: "So, what are the specific requirements of your government? Your country will propose it first, and then ask Minister Tian Bei to send it back to the country. Let the U.S. government discuss it!"

    "Okay! His Majesty the Emperor's conditions are very simple. There are only four conditions: First, the U.S. government apologizes to the Chinese government and compensates China for the incident and economic losses of 200 million pounds. Second, the U.S. government recognizes the Kingdom of Hawaii as a sovereign state.  The country pledges not to invade or endow the Kingdom of Hawaii in any way. Third, the U.S. government gives up all privileges in China and returns all concessions in China. Fourth, the U.S. government must reduce its military power and navy on the west coast.  Battleships cannot be deployed on the west coast!" Wu Tingfang said.

    "No! Our U.S. government will never agree to such conditions! We, the United States, are not a defeated country, and China will never treat us the way it treats a defeated country!" Tian Bei, the U.S. Minister to China, jumped up.  In his opinion, such a requirement is too harsh.

    "Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, these requirements are too strict! The United States is not a defeated country, and we cannot treat the United States like this!" Organa said with a frown.

    "Your Excellency Minister Ogna, this is the intention of His Majesty the Emperor of our country. Of course, if the US government does not accept it, we can still have friendly negotiations. However, the time is limited. Our Pacific Fleet has begun to return to Hawaii for rest, which will take up to a week.  In time, the Pacific Fleet will go to sea again!" Wu Tingfang said.

    Tian Bei was furious. Wu Tingfang was obviously trying to use military strength to subdue the United States in order to blackmail the United States.

    "Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, our country will not agree to your rude demands! If your country chooses war, we will accompany you to the end! Farewell!" Tian Bei, the U.S. Minister to China, immediately turned around and left.

    "I'm very sorry, but the British Empire hopes that both China and the United States can calm down." British Minister to China Organa said, and then left.  Tian Chun, the French Minister to China, would not stay, so he naturally left with Organa.

    ¡°I also deeply regret it!¡± Wu Tingfang said.  However, after the three ministers left, he couldn't help but curse: "The emperor was indeed right, none of these foreign devils were good!  "
