    "Mr. Griffith, I sympathize with the tragic suffering of the Irish people. In addition, I personally believe that the demands of the Irish people are legitimate and reasonable! However, I am not the only one who supports Irish independence.  The final decision must be made by the Emperor! However, I will try my best to advise His Majesty the Emperor!" Tang Shaoyi said!  There is no doubt that if Ireland can be separated from the United Kingdom, it will be of great benefit to China!  Europe is too far away from China. Even though China now has the most powerful navy in the world, it is still beyond its reach to cross half of the world to enter Europe.  The British have now completely turned to the Germans, which poses an even more serious challenge to China. If Ireland can gain independence with the support of China, this will undoubtedly give China a bridgehead in Europe, which can make China  Strong military power poses a threat to Europe.  Once China and Germany go to war, they can use Ireland as a springboard to directly attack Britain and even Europe in large numbers, and cooperate with China's powerful armored forces and mechanized forces to attack Germany from the east and west!

    Although Tang Shaoyi was a diplomat and his military talents were not outstanding, he could not fail to see such obvious benefits!

    Tang Shaoyi¡¯s statement made Arthur Griffith very satisfied.  In terms of China's foreign policy, the opinions of the Foreign Minister are very important.  Now with the support of Tang Shaoyi, coupled with the support of China's Military Intelligence Agency, it is already a certainty that Ireland will receive China's support!  Ireland was finally able to get rid of the enslavement of the British and gain independence. This is what more than four million Irish people have always dreamed of!  Although the UK is still strong, with China's support, Ireland's future is undoubtedly bright!

    "Master Tang, thank you for your support of Ireland! I guarantee that once Ireland gains independence, we will be China's most loyal partner in Europe!" Arthur Griffith said.  He is the leader of the Irish Sinn F¨¦in party and also has a high status among the Irish Volunteer Army.  If Ireland gains independence, he will be the best candidate for president!  His statement also represents Ireland¡¯s statement!

    "Haha, don't worry, Mr. Griffith, the wishes of the Irish people will definitely come true!" Tang Shaoyi said with absolute certainty!

    Coming out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, Arthur Griffiths was very excited.  This trip to China has been a great harvest!  With the help of this world war, Ireland will successfully get rid of the British and gain national independence, and it is time for those of them who have been fighting for it to reap the rewards!

    "General Zhou, thank you for your help! But when will your country make the final decision?" Arthur Griffith asked!

    "Mr. Griffith, it's coming soon. It should be ready in two or three days! This afternoon, His Majesty will hold a royal meeting to discuss some arrangements after the world war! Mr. Tang should be here this time  The question about Ireland was raised at the imperial meeting! At that time, as long as His Majesty the Emperor nods, then Ireland will succeed!" Major General Zhou Yuan said!

    "God bless, everything will go well!" Arthur Griffith crossed himself on his chest.

    "Mr. Griffith, let's take care of the situation and talk about how to deal with the British counterattack if Ireland gains independence! After all, the British will not just watch Ireland get rid of their rule!"  Major General Zhou Yuan said.

    "Okay, General Zhou!" Arthur Griffith said seriously.  There is no doubt that even Britain, which was severely damaged in the war, is much stronger than Ireland!  Without China's support, it would be absolutely impossible for Ireland to retain the fruits of victory!

    Half an hour later, the two came to a small courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. This is the secret base of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the confidentiality is very good!  Talking about things here will not be known to the outside world!

    "Mr. Griffith, it is very safe here! Regarding Ireland, I think we still have many issues to communicate! Even if Ireland gains independence, it will be very difficult for this new country to survive! If the British want  It can be said that it is very easy to destroy Ireland!" Major General Zhou Yuan said.  He is not being alarmist. Even if Britain will be greatly weakened after the war, it is still not something Ireland can resist!

    "General Zhou, we know this very well! Therefore, we hope to get help from China! Ireland can form an alliance with China, as long as we can protect us from being invaded by the British! And Ireland's geographical location is also very difficult for China  Important! I don¡¯t need to say more about this!" Arthur Griffith said!

    Major General Zhou Yuan nodded. Arthur Griffiths is also a sensible person and knows Ireland's weaknesses.  therefore,Ireland has placed all its hopes on China. China's protection is the guarantee for Ireland's continued existence!  In this case, it will be much easier for China to achieve its intentions!

    "Well, Mr. Griffith, if that's the case, then I won't talk nonsense! China hopes that after Ireland gains independence, it can sign an alliance treaty with China and become China's ally! China will help  Ireland will establish an army of 100,000 people, and China's army, navy and air force will be stationed in Ireland to defend against the dangers of Britain and Germany! Once war breaks out, the Irish army must unconditionally obey China's support and accompany the Chinese army in combat!  In addition, the Imperial Navy may lease some coastal cities in Ireland to build military bases, hoping to get support from the Irish government!" Major General Zhou Yuan said!

    "General Zhou, the total population of Ireland is only over four million. Is it too much to form an army of 100,000 people? In addition, Ireland's financial resources cannot support the huge military expenditure!" Arthur Griffiths frowned  Brow said!  Ireland is weak, poor, and unable to resist the British with its own strength, which is why they have to place their hopes on the Chinese!

    "Mr. Griffith, you don't have to worry about military expenditures! After Ireland becomes independent, the empire will export a batch of weapons to Ireland at a low price! In addition, the empire will provide Ireland with a low-interest loan for use in Ireland.  army and national construction! At the same time, the empire will also encourage companies to invest and set up factories in Ireland and develop Ireland's mineral resources. By then, Ireland's economy will be getting better and better, and maintaining an army of 100,000 people will not be a big problem! Wait until  After defeating Britain and Germany, Ireland will be completely safe! In addition, as one of the victorious countries, Ireland will also receive huge benefits! For example, occupying a piece of land in the UK, Wales or Scotland are both very good choices.  !" Major General Zhou Yuan said!

    Arthur Griffiths hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.  The benefits that General Zhou Yuan described for Ireland after defeating Britain and Germany made him very excited.  If Ireland could occupy a territory in the United Kingdom, it would be a real pride for the Irish!

    Afterwards, Major General Zhou Yuan talked with Arthur Griffiths about what kind of support China would give Ireland after Ireland became independent, and painted a beautiful blueprint for him.  The most critical thing is that Major General Zhou Yuan hinted that after Ireland becomes independent, China will support Arthur Griffiths to become the president of Ireland.  This is what makes Arthur Griffith tempted by sinners. As for national interests and the like, they all have to give way in the face of personal interests!

    At the same time, the contents of the conversation between Major General Zhou Yuan and Arthur Griffiths have also been sent to the Director of Military Intelligence, General Wei Zhiyong!  General Wei Zhiyong took their conversation to the imperial meeting held in the conference room of Xinhua Palace in the afternoon.

    This meeting mainly discussed the division of the post-war world, and that China¡¯s future focus will once again shift to economic construction.  China paid a huge price in this war, but it also gained huge benefits!  Moreover, the benefits are much greater than the costs!  This made the emperor and the senior officials of the empire very satisfied.  As for the secret agreements signed by China and Germany, such as China's withdrawal from Europe, they have now been selectively forgotten by everyone!  China will never withdraw from Europe. Rather than letting the Germans dominate Europe, it is better for everyone to share Europe, and at the same time make Europe even more chaotic!  This is the most beneficial thing for China!

    "Everyone, let General Wei Zhiyong, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, talk about the issue of Ireland! The Military Intelligence Bureau's activities in Ireland have achieved great results, which will be very beneficial to the empire's future layout in Europe!" Wang Yuze said!

    "Yes, Your Majesty! My Lords, so far we have reached an agreement with the leaders of the Irish Sinn F¨¦in Party. The Sinn F¨¦in people and their Irish Volunteer Army in the North Sea are willing to ally with us! At that time, the Empire can deploy troops in Ireland  , leasing Irish ports to establish military bases, and assisting Ireland in building its own army. These armies will accept the command of the empire in future wars! In this way, the empire will be divided, weaken Britain, and establish a bridgehead in Europe.  Purpose!" said General Wei Zhiyong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau!  (To be continued.
