The traditional European power Gaul is no match for them. They were defeated in just one month. The British Empire was even beaten to pieces. The more than 300,000 troops sent to Europe were completely destroyed. They can only rely on the navy to protect the safety of their homeland.”……”

“Hans has now annexed the Benelux, Gaul, Czech, Poland and other countries, and united a large group of countries in Central Europe, Southern Europe, Northern Europe and the Balkan Peninsula. They are at the peak of their power. We must not confront them head-on at this time. It will not do us any good!”

This truth had been told to Zhaohe Tianhuang before, and he was not unaware of it, but he was still angry at Hans’ arrogance at this time.

“Humph, we conquered the Celestial Empire.

From what the Hans said, it seems like their colony.

If that’s the case, then what’s the point of us working so hard to conquer the Celestial Empire? Is it just to make wedding clothes for the Hans?”The main reason why the nuclear emperor was indignant was that the Hans asked for too many benefits.

From his point of view, since the Celestial Empire was conquered by the foot basin, then the Celestial Empire is naturally the foot basin’s colony and sphere of influence.

The colonies of various countries are basically only open to their own countries. This is their own private land. They can only sell their own products and only allow themselves to mine, extract oil, and build factories here.

How can outsiders be allowed to get involved? If outsiders get involved so easily, then what’s the point of the colonies that countries have worked so hard to conquer?

The reason why the British Empire is the world’s number one power is not because they themselves occupy more than 30 million square kilometers and nearly 300 million people in colonies?

You know, these colonies are Japan’s Private property that never sets, only they can collect taxes, do business, sell goods, open mines and so on, other powers can’t reach here at all!

It is not impossible to get involved in the colonies of the British Empire, but there are not many ways.

The first way is to directly use force to defeat the British Empire and turn the colonies of the British Empire into their own colonies, so that they can replace it and enjoy the privileges of the British Empire in these colonies!

This method is also very common among the great powers. Thirty years ago, the Eagle Sauce once went to war with the former world hegemon, the fallen Japanese, and seized control of the colonies of the Caribbean Islands and the Philippines from the Japanese, causing the Japanese to lose all their overseas colonies and completely decline!

Ten years ago, during the First World War, the British Empire and Gaul immediately divided up Hans’ colonies in Africa and the Pacific after the war, and turned these colonies into their own private property! The

Sino-Japanese War that broke out between the Celestial Empire and the Foot Basin was also for the control of the Korean Peninsula. The Foot Basin, which won the war, decided to colonize the Korean Peninsula and turn it into a springboard for its attack on the Asian continent!

It can be seen that this method is the most direct and effective.

However, it is extremely difficult to seize control in this way, and military means must be used.

Nowadays, the old European powers are the ones who have divided up the world’s main land. If you want to seize colonies from them, Then we must have a head-on war with them.

The reason why Jiaoben attacked first was because the Celestial Empire had not yet been divided up by the great powers at that time, so the resistance encountered in attacking here was the least.

If their strength did not allow it, they would even want to go directly south to conquer Australia. After all, the iron ore in Australia has long been coveted by them!

Of course, there is another way to open up the market in the colonies, and that is to establish good relations with the colonial sovereign and obtain the other party’s permission.

Now Hans is taking the second path. There has been no war between them and Jiaoben, so they put forward some demands. If Jiaoben can agree, then the two sides will not have to fight.

However, in the eyes of the Emperor Zhaohe, such a request is impossible to accept.

“The Hans demanded that we cannot impose a tariff of more than 5%, cannot obstruct the circulation of their goods in the Celestial Empire, and that we protect their minerals, oil fields and land in the Celestial Empire, and that we allow them to build factories. This kind of request simply regards us as nothing!”

The Emperor Zhaohe said angrily. The power that the Hans demanded was what they, the Foot Basin people, dreamed of. Although the Celestial Empire is large, the benefits of the Celestial Empire are only enough to feed them, so how can they allow other powers to come and share a piece of the pie?

If they, the Foot Basin people, did not want to swallow up the Celestial Empire alone, why would they resort to force and directly wage war against the Celestial Empire?

When the warlords of the Celestial Empire were fighting each other, they, the Foot Basin people, had already enjoyed certain privileges in the Celestial Empire. Since they could not monopolize the benefits of the Celestial Empire after conquering the Celestial Empire, why did they work so hard to mobilize millions of troops and spend billions of dollars? Why fight this war?

Isn’t this just because they have nothing better to do?

Prime Minister Tanaka opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

What the Emperor said was not unreasonable. For Jiaoben, the demands made by Hans were really excessive.

So from their point of view, they would never accept such demands.

However, if you consider it from the perspective of the Hans, these demands made by the Hans are not surprising at all.

After all, these demands they put forward are the rights they now enjoy in the Celestial Empire. It cannot be said that because Jiaoben attacked the Celestial Empire, , which would lead to the power they enjoyed in the Celestial Empire becoming a bubble?

If this is the case, then there will be a huge conflict between the interests of the Foot Basin and Hans. If the Foot Basin people do not meet the requirements of the Hans people, the Hans people will definitely not let the Foot Basin people go south to the Celestial Empire as they wish. They will certainly increase their support for the Celestial Empire, and then the Foot Basin army will definitely suffer on the battlefield!

He is very clear about these principles, and he thinks that the Emperor Zhaohe should also be clear about them. However, the Emperor Zhaohe did not dare to agree to Hans’ request.

Because this request is too much for the Foot Basin, if… If this matter gets out, Emperor Zhaohe will lose face, and the entire Foot Basin will lose face too!

People will say that they are afraid of Hans, so they give Hans such preferential treatment, which will cause Foot Basin’s international status to decline significantly.

So although Prime Minister Tanaka knows the facts, he dare not say more.

Since Emperor Zhaohe himself makes the decision, let him decide it himself!
