Churchill explained: "China's ambitions have become increasingly obvious. Tang Jian first used the China-Japanese War to annex Korea, and then defeated Japan, dividing the four islands of Japan. In addition, the war between China and Russia in the Northeast, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in Siberia, including Vladivostok, have been owned by China! At this time, civil unrest in Russia, especially those Bolsheviks, whose strength suddenly increased, and the Russian Tsar was already exhausted. It is said that Russia's Bolsheviks received huge assistance. I think it is very likely that China did it. After Tang Jian took back Outer Mongolia, the entire northern border of China had reached the bank of the Baikal River. After the problem of China's northern border was resolved, China would divert its attention. Judging from the situation that China expressed to Luzon and the Pacific, China was preparing to compete for the sea control power in the South China Sea and the Pacific."

Churchill was still hesitant when he saw Chamberlain frowning, because Britain had always pursued a policy of "glorious isolation" and would not actively intervene in disputes in other regions without their own interests being violated, so as not to push Britain into the quagmire of war. Chamberlain is now afraid that once he sends troops to the Far East, Britain's interests in the Far East will be damaged.

Churchill said: "Prime Minister, have you not seen China's ambitions? Since China ended its civil war, it has been fighting south and north. Look, from North Korea, Japan, south to Luzon, and east to Hawaii. Now China is now in conflict with the United States because of the interests above the Pacific, and the two countries will declare war. Once China defeats the United States, the entire Pacific Ocean will be the world of China. Although the British Empire is known as the Empire of Sun and the Sun has the most powerful ocean fleet in the world, once China wins from the Chinese-American War and concentrates all its strength to confront the British Empire in the South China Sea or the Indian Ocean, Mr. Prime Minister, do you think we can fight?"

Chamberlain pondered for a moment and said, "If China had fought against the British Empire in the South China Sea or the Indian Ocean with its strength after defeating the United States, the British Empire would have a very likely victory over China in a short period of time. However, although the British Empire is known as the Empire of Sun and Never Set, and colonies are everywhere in the world, it does not have many troops overseas. Once it faces head-on with China, if it cannot defeat China in a short period of time, then once the time is delayed too long, the British Empire is far away from its local war and it is difficult to replenish supplies, and it will be hard to say the victory or defeat at that time."

Churchill looked happy and said, "Yes, so the British Empire should take advantage of the great opportunity of China and the United States fighting and the local defense is empty to send troops to the Far East and smash China's ambitions!"

Churchill was very worried. He had only met Tang Jian twice, but after two brief meetings, he realized that Tang Jian was not simple. Although China had just quelled civil strife at that time and the political situation was not very stable, the ambitions shown by Tang Jian made Churchill, who was only a member of parliament at the time, be wary of it.

At that time, Churchill had already felt that Tang Jian's ambition was far beyond the Far East, and what happened in the future made Churchill's prophecy unfortunately say, the aggressive attitude that China showed in the Far East made many European countries feel strongly uneasy.

But when these countries reacted, China was no longer the weak and turbulent new regime, but a powerful military power with millions of troops, Pacific Fleets, and advanced air force. Now, no matter which country in Europe wants to have friction with China, we must consider whether it can defeat China when a war with China? And we must also ensure that when a war with China, we will not allow fishermen from other hostile countries in Europe to benefit?

This is the huge price paid by European countries when they watch China move from weak to powerful!

What’s ridiculous is that after the rise of China, the UK will suffer the greatest damage to its interests. In other words, the UK will pay for the appeasement policy adopted by European countries towards China!

At this time, Chamberlain said slowly: "Mr. Churchill, then why do you think China and the United States will go to war, and the United States will definitely lose this war? Don't forget that the United States' strength is not weaker than China."

Churchill was speechless for a moment. Indeed, the United States was not weaker than China when it showed it. On the contrary, the United States' comprehensive strength seemed to be a little stronger than China.

First of all, although the United States was not founded for a long time and it was determined that the bourgeois regime was much later than that of European countries, the United States steadily seized the excellent opportunity of the industrial revolution, allowing the United States to develop capitalism rapidly, and even surpassed several old capitalist powers such as Britain, Russia, and France for decades. The total economic output of its total was firmly ranked first in the world by the end of the last century.

Secondly, after more than half a century of development, the United States has developed domestic industries, steel industry and military industry rank among the forefront of the world with a strong foundation. In contrast, although China has some industrial foundations left by the Westernization Movement of Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang and others, and the rapid development of China over the past decade of its founding, the gap is huge compared with the United States, and even the industrial system of China seems very weak. With such an industrial foundation, it is impossible to fight a war of attrition with the United States. As long as the United States drags the war longer, China's weak industrial system will not be able to withstand the huge pressure generated by the war and collapse.

Finally, although China has a powerful navy and a new type of service - the air force, the United States' military strength cannot be underestimated. More than ten years ago, the United States' navy was just a second-rate navy. However, since Roosevelt became the President of the United States, he has vigorously developed the navy with Ma Han's "Theory of the Sea Power" as the theoretical basis. In the early 20th century, the strength of the United States' navy increased greatly. In just a few years, Roosevelt, backed by the strong economic strength of the United States and developed heavy industry, made the United States' navy become the fourth largest navy in the world. Therefore, even if China's Pacific Fleet has had a tendency to surpass the United States' navy after more than ten years of development, it is not easy to defeat the United States' navy completely.

Therefore, in the battle between China and America, who wins and who loses, at least it is impossible to see now.

"Why do you think China can definitely defeat the United States?" Chamberlain asked indeed.

Churchill hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "It's my intuition. I think the United States is likely to be unable to defeat China?"

"Haha." Chamberlain laughed: "Mr. Churchill, do you think if I told those members of parliament that Churchill was not optimistic about the United States and would feel that the United States would be defeated in this war. Churchill came to this conclusion because of his intuition. Do you think the members would agree to the British Empire to send troops?"

"This, but..." Churchill said anxiously: "It would be too late if the British Empire made another decision before the crisis really came."

"No matter which side wins, a new overlord will be born on the Pacific Ocean. Is this what the British Empire is willing to see? Not only should we guard against China, but also against the United States. I suggest sending two fleets, one in the South China Sea and the other in the North Atlantic, and just wait and see what changes!" Churchill suggested.

"Did you think about Germany's reaction? Germany occupies a leading position among allies, and Britain and Germany have a century-old feud. Once we send troops, Germany will also move with a camera, and the war between China and the United States will become the fuse of the European war. At that time, whether it is Europe, Asia, or the Americas, they will fall into this war, and an unprecedented multi-national war will inevitably be avoided." Chamberlain analyzed the international situation.

Churchill has actually considered what Chamberlain said. If that step is really reached, it will be the reorganization of various forces around the world, and the interests of Britain will be damaged. However, once China wins, Britain's interests in the Far East will also be greatly threatened. The difference is that one is passive and the other is active.

For the UK, it is best to take an initiative before the crisis comes, so that the damage to British interests can be minimized.

"Mr. Churchill, I will hold a parliamentary meeting immediately and let the members vote!" Chamberlain also realized this and began to lean towards Churchill's opinion. Regardless of whether there will be a war between multiple countries, the British Empire must take the initiative in the world in the future.

"Well, thank you, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Churchill smiled with relief. Churchill believed that the Parliament would make a wise decision on the gains and losses of the interests of the British Empire.

...........

The command of the Chinese Navy and Army Army in Honolulu, Hawaii.

"President, the latest urgent telegram from the European CIA Intelligence Agency!" When Tang Jian was analyzing the strength of the US North Atlantic Fleet in the command center, Chen Chusheng suddenly knocked on the door of the conference room.

Tang Jian frowned slightly. Tang Jian had already issued a strict order. During the meeting, no one should be disturbed except for major events. What kind of urgent telegram made Chen Chusheng's voice so urgent?

"Come in!" Tang Jian said.

"President, this is the latest telegram sent by the European CIA Intelligence Agency. The president told the president to check it as soon as possible." Chen Chusheng handed the telegram with both hands and said.

Tang Jian opened his eyes and his face changed drastically, and an angry flame erupted from his eyes. "Bang!" Tang Jian angrily slapped the telegram on the conference table.

"President, what is the news?" This was the first time Ye Zugui saw Tang Jian being so angry that he was a little out of control.

"The British Far East Fleet in India is about to go to the South China Sea." Tang Jian gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"What?" The generals were shocked. At this critical moment, the British obviously wanted to take advantage of the situation and the Chinese Pacific Fleet would be in the stance of being attacked from both sides.

ps: Today's update.

Given the recent complaints from readers, I really feel sorry. I originally wanted to bear it alone, because I said a few words, and everyone may think I am explaining or hiding it.

The recent update is not strong, and I feel uncomfortable. I can only say that Beiyang will not stop updating. There are few updates, and I am a little overwhelmed. The prequel of Huaxia Original Network is updated every day, Beiyang is updated every day, and I also need to prepare a fantasy book. After saying this, everyone should know how much pressure I have in my work.

I am a full-time author. If I have less, it means I have no food to eat. In fact, I want more than anyone else, so I will make more money, right? I will have less income, and my royalties are everything to me.

Because I don’t have any manuscripts stored in Beiyang, they are all coded in real time. You can tell by looking at my update time. When I usually write when I get up in the morning.

Here, I would like to say sorry to all the subscribed tubes, which are slow to update, which has caused everyone to wait for hard work. Sorry, really, I can only say these things. I won’t say much more to avoid everyone saying that I am pretending to be pitiful, full-time writer, and knowing the cold and warmth.
Chapter completed!
