Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At 1 o'clock in the morning on May 21, Beijing time, the Chinese Emperor Wang Yuze was awakened. Five people, including Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi, Army Minister Zhao Bowen, Navy Minister Zhang Cheng, and Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo, urgently sought an audience.  Wu Hao, the captain of the bodyguard, did not dare to neglect, and while having the most important ministers go to His Majesty's Imperial Study Room, he went to find Emperor Wang Yuze in person.

    Emperor Wang Yuze had just fallen asleep not long ago when he was woken up by Wu Hao, the captain of the bodyguard, and he was not in good spirits.  However, he also knew that if there was no urgent matter, the ministers would not come to see him at this time.  Therefore, 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 much attention to the Chinese army and navy's attack on Italy.  The plan to raid Rome this time has been 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 expressions are not 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 turned a little ugly.  This attack on Italy is very important.  After defeating Italy, the Chinese army will implement the third combat plan, which is also the most important combat plan.

    After arriving at the imperial study, several ministers quickly saluted Wang Yuze.  Wang Yuze waved his hand. Even though he had been emperor for almost twenty years, he was still not used to these false courtesy.  After Wu Hao asked people to prepare strong tea, he 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, an accident occurred!" said Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of Army.

    "Oh? What happened?" Wang Yuze asked in surprise.

    The army has surrounded Rome and 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 the senior government officials all hid in the Vatican, leaving our army empty-handed. Now, our  The army has surrounded the Vatican and is confronting the Vatican Guards. However, the frontline generals are undecided whether to attack the Vatican and forcibly arrest the Italian king and senior government officials!" Prime Minister Wu Tingfang continued.  He also feels that it is very difficult. If it is another country, even a powerful country, China will fight directly without hesitation.  But the Vatican is different. Although this country is weak, the significance it represents is extraordinary!

    "Have people from the Vatican intervened? Don't they always care about secular political power?" Wang Yuze asked in surprise.  If those guys from the Holy See intervened, things would indeed be a bit troublesome.  With China's strength, it can completely ignore the Vatican, but at best, both sides should stay on the same page.  But if force is to be used 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  Yes!" 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.  !" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi.  Obviously, the sudden intervention of the Vatican put the Italian campaign launched by the Chinese army into trouble!

    "Now it has become such a situation. So what do you think we should do now?" Wang Yuze asked.  He doesn't have any good ideas. If he attacks the Vatican by force, he will definitely win, but he may be opposed by China and the entire West.  By then, China's overseas rule will also be shaken.  Those fools who are bewitched by the Holy See will definitely use every means to attack China.  Maybe the terrorism in later generations will be staged in advance. The Americans in later generations are so powerful that they will not be able to deal with those terrorist attacks, which makes Wang Yuze very afraid.  Therefore, it was very difficult for him to deal with the Vatican.

    "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 same! It is the emperor who is supreme!  Besides, this time it is the Vatican that intervenes in our war with Italy. They are seeking death themselves. No wonder we are!  "Navy Minister Zhang Cheng 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 take a look.  When the Chinese navy's carrier-based aircraft are bombing, will the so-called God show up to 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 they 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 the United States, France, Russia and other countries, whose industrial facilities have been destroyed.  However, China 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, which will enable China's strength to grow by leaps and bounds.  In this situation of ebb and flow, 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.  This is indeed the case now. China no longer needs to be afraid of 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 with its huge population advantage, 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 improved.  By then, the Chinese navy will be fully capable of blocking the entire Europe.  As for the Air Force, it has already left the entire Western world behind.  Strong military strength is undoubtedly the source of Wang Yuze's confidence.  With strong military support, Wang Yuze does not need to care 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 forced him to be prepared for conflicts to break out in advance!

    "Your Majesty, it would be great if this dispute could be resolved peacefully. But if the Vatican refuses to give in and must protect the King of Italy and senior government officials, then we will have no choice but to use force against the Vatican!" The cabinet!  Prime Minister Ng Ting Fong also agreed.  Today's China cannot be bullied by any country, not even God!

    "Yeah!" Wang Yuze nodded. The support from the government gave him more confidence!

    "Your Majesty, let's do this! First, let the frontline commanders warn the Vatican 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  Use other methods. If the Vatican does not hand over people, we can send troops to the Vatican to arrest people by force! However, we cannot fire first! If the Vatican Guards fire first, then we can use this to teach the Vatican a lesson  ! By then, we will have an explanation to the empire¡¯s ministers and people! After all, the entire incident is a challenge to us from the Vatican!" Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo suggested!

    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 outcome.  If the Vatican doesn't want to cause trouble for itself, they should back off after China's tough stance.  If the Vatican is still unwilling to give in, then they are seeking death themselves!  In this world, divine power has long since declined, and imperial power is supreme. Especially in Eastern time, after thousands of years of feudal rule, imperial power has established its dominant position!

    "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 wants to see if the Vatican, the so-called representative of God, has the courage to continue confronting 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!
