    "Your Excellency Prime Minister Holweg, the conditions of the Chinese are too harsh! We cannot agree to them! If we agree to their conditions, what will be the difference between Britain and a destroyed country?" Sir Edward Gray, the British Foreign Secretary, had a livid face.  Said!

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister Holweg, Britain has reached a secret agreement with Germany. Germany has promised that it will try its best to protect Britain's interests! If Britain is seriously weakened by China, this will also be very detrimental to Germany! The Chinese  The claim for British mainland territory and the Channel Islands is obviously aimed at Germany! Even if it is for the benefit of Germany, Germany should stop the Chinese request!" British Prime Minister Asquith also said.  Especially the Channel Islands, their strategic location is very important and they can guard the entire English Channel. Once the Chinese deploy fighter planes on the Channel Islands, the entire strait will be cut off by the Chinese!

    German Prime Minister Holweger and Foreign Minister Stresemann also feel headaches.  China's toughness in dealing with Britain did not surprise them!  However, the Chinese's actions will obviously harm Germany's interests!  As Prime Minister Asquith said, even if it is for the benefit of Germany, Germany and the UK must do their best to help the UK!  However, will China accept Germany's good intentions?  This seems very difficult!  China is so powerful now that it can ignore the opinions of other countries!

    "Prime Minister Asquith, the secret agreement signed between Germany and the UK is still valid. We will try our best to help the UK! However, we also hope that the UK can understand our difficulties and make some concessions appropriately! After all, we have not yet been defeated.  We still need to tolerate China's strength for a while! When we have the strength to challenge the Chinese, we no longer need to look at their faces!" Prime Minister Hollweger said with a frown!  If the British side is determined not to give in, then this negotiation will not be able to proceed at all!

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister Holweg, we can abandon the Channel Islands, but the Cornwall Peninsula must be under our control! Otherwise, with the strength of the Chinese Army's armored forces, they may be able to fight in less than a week.  Come to London!" said Prime Minister Asquith!  The 8th Army of the Chinese Army easily defeated the British Army in Birmingham, which shocked the British government greatly.

    Prime Minister Holweg nodded. Although the armored forces of the German Army are also very powerful, they seem to be far behind compared with the armored forces of the Chinese Army.  Without the obstruction of the Strait, the Chinese Army's armored forces would be enough to sweep across the entire United Kingdom.

    "If we are there to persuade them, maybe the Chinese will agree to give up the Cornwall Peninsula! But what about the Channel Islands? The Chinese can use the Channel Islands to block the entire English Channel, plus a series of islands they occupy in the Mediterranean  , can completely block Germany in the European continent!" German Foreign Minister Stresemann said with some worry!

    "Leave this problem to the military! The Chinese can deploy fighter planes on the Channel Islands, and we can also deploy aircraft on the Normandy Peninsula! Agreed, it can pose a threat to them!" Prime Minister Hollweger said!

    Stresemann nodded. Although the main fighter aircraft of the German Air Force are all based on Chinese technology, the imitation has been very smooth, and now they have begun to develop newer aircraft!  The German side believes that the gap between China and Germany is not that big at this point!

    "So, what about war reparations? The Chinese will definitely not agree to the war reparations of 500 million yuan proposed by the British! The Chinese will not agree to the war reparations of 1 billion yuan proposed by us! It is estimated that if we want China  People nod, the share of war reparations must be increased to at least 2 billion yuan!" German Prime Minister Hollweger said!

    "Two billion Chinese dollars!" If it were in the UK's heyday, this would not be a particularly big number for the UK!  But now Britain has lost all its overseas colonies, including the island of Ireland. If they want them to bear the two billion yuan in war compensation, this will undoubtedly put a heavy burden on the entire British finances.  !

    "The Chinese are so greedy! Not only have they robbed the royal family's wealth, but now they are blackmailing us like this!" British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray said through gritted teeth.  The British royal family's wealth worth 800 million yuan was robbed by China. This is a heavy blow to the entire UK!  If this wealth is still there, this will undoubtedly greatly relieve the pressure on Britain!

    "Prime Minister Holweg, regarding war reparations, we still need Germany to continue to mediate for us! If we can reduce war reparations as much as possible, it will undoubtedly be the best!" British Prime Minister Asquith said sincerely!

    "Alas! We will try our best, but we don't know how effective it will be!" German Prime Minister HallWei Ge also seemed a little helpless!

    On October 28th, negotiations resumed!  The negotiation time was set at 9:30 in the morning. Before 9 o'clock, representatives from various countries had already arrived!  Everyone is also looking forward to today¡¯s negotiation!  They are even speculating whether today's negotiations can achieve decisive progress, and whether the UK will compromise under China's pressure!  Of course, no one thinks that China will compromise. After all, China now has the advantage!  Even if Germany wanted to favor Britain, it would be very difficult!

    The Chinese representatives entered the venue almost on time!  After the Chinese representatives arrived, the negotiations began again!

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister Asquith, after a day of consideration, has the British side made any decision?" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang asked.

    "Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, the conditions proposed by China are still too harsh! After our contact with the country, the British government can give up its ownership of the Channel Islands, give up all overseas colonies, and at the same time, pay compensation of 1.5 billion yuan to the victorious country for the war.  Reparations! In addition, British armaments can be limited. The army will only retain 100,000 men, and the navy will not build ships with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons! As for those shipyards, they are the backbone of the British economy and must not be dismantled.  ! The biggest role of these shipyards is not to build warships, but to build merchant ships! After this war, Britain will no longer pose any threat to China!" Prime Minister Asquith said!

    Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang shook his head, and then said: "After consulting His Majesty the Imperial Emperor, in order to reach an agreement as soon as possible and sign a peace treaty! China decided to give up its claim to the Cornwall Peninsula, but the British side needs to send Angel  The West Island, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are ceded to us! In addition, the total amount of war reparations shall not be less than 3 billion Chinese dollars, and China will enjoy 70% of these war reparations! In terms of armaments, the British Army can retain 100,000  Troops equipped with only light weapons! The British Navy is not allowed to build submarines or aircraft carriers, and can only retain warships with a displacement of less than one thousand tons! As for those large shipyards in the UK, they must be dismantled! Of course, they can also be sold to us at a discount, or directly offset  War reparations are also fine!" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said!  This is the final solution to the UK reached by China after discussions, and it is also a solution that cannot be changed!

    British Prime Minister Asquith thought quickly. Although the conditions proposed by China this time have been compromised compared with yesterday, for Germany, this is still a harsh treaty.

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, these conditions are still too harsh! The British side cannot agree!" Prime Minister Asquith said!

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister Asquith, China has been very sincere in this negotiation! We have lowered our demands twice. If the British side cannot agree, then we can only say sorry!" Chinese Foreign Minister  Tang Shaoyi said coldly.  This cold tone gave the British representative a chill in his heart.

    German Prime Minister Holweger was about to open his mouth to mediate, but China has already given the final clear answer!

    "This is the last request of the Chinese government. If the British government does not agree, we can only declare that the negotiations have broken down! And from now on, we will refuse to have any more negotiations with the British! As for the British, let's continue the military occupation.  !" Chinese Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said forcefully!

    "Oh God! Is China going to completely terminate the negotiations? Will the war continue?" Representatives from various countries exclaimed!

    The representatives from the UK and Germany were also surprised. They did not expect that China would be so tough and directly issued a request similar to an ultimatum. If the UK still refuses to compromise, there will be no solution!

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister Wu Tingfang, I think everyone needs to calm down now! Although there are still differences in the negotiations, I firmly believe that through our efforts, we will eventually be able to reach an agreement!" said German Prime Minister Hollweger.

    "By the way, one more thing to inform you! In order to ensure that China's interests are not harmed, the empire's troops stationed in the UK will send an army to march to London! If they are intercepted by any troops along the way, this will be regarded as an attack on China.  Provocations or even declarations of war! In addition, the Chinese navy will conduct exercises in the North Sea and the Strait of Dover. This sea area will become a no-navigation zone. Any ships or aircraft from other countries entering this sea area will be regarded as spying on China.  The navy's military secrets will be sunk and shot down!" Chinese Defense Minister Marshal Jiang Xingguo solemnly announced to representatives of various countries!  (To be continued.
