"This is picking up the mercy from us! It's very arrogant." When the German consul came to the rostrum to receive the award, the French consul Giratino, who was sitting on the viewing platform, said indignantly, and did not deliberately lower his voice, so that several other consuls around could hear it. "We must fight back, otherwise the order in East Asia will completely collapse."

Now 16 countries have set up consulates in Qingdao, of which Europe accounts for 10 countries, 2 in North America and 4 in South America. After the East China government joined the war, the Russian consulates in Japan and Japan were closed and left, and now there are only 14 consulates left.

"Well, it seems that overseas Chinese will not stop the war." British Consul Scholes did not respond positively to his words, saying: "We must also take measures to make overseas Chinese clear that relying solely on force cannot solve everything."

"No, two gentlemen, I don't think so." US Consul George Wilson said: "If I were a Chinese overseas, the war would not stop at this time. If Russia and Japan refused to compensate. Because overseas Chinese also spent huge amounts of money for this battlefield, it is actually very simple to want a ceasefire. As long as Russia and Japan are willing to pay a part of the compensation."

"Mr. George, we will convey this opinion to Japan and Russia." Scholes said: "But Japan and Russia are both sovereign states. I think they have the right to decide whether to pay compensation to overseas Chinese."

"So the UK's attitude does not support Japan. Have Russia paid compensation to overseas Chinese?" Wilson said: "If this is the case, it will be difficult to get a ceasefire. And I think Japan, Russia will lose more and more."

"What is the attitude of the US government?" Scholes said: "If overseas Chinese completely defeat Japan and Russia, it may not be a good thing for the US government."

"Of course we hope to truce the war immediately now, because it is not in the interests of the United States to continue the war." Wilson said lightly: However, the truce of war also requires objective conditions. Now overseas Chinese have indeed won the war and asked overseas Chinese to give up the fruits of victory they should enjoy as a condition for truce. Do you think overseas Chinese can accept it? If overseas Chinese refuse to truce, can peace be achieved?"

"Hmph! Overseas Chinese have just temporarily gained some advantage in the war. If the war continues, overseas Chinese may not maintain their advantage." Although Girardino knew that Wilson said all the facts, the French government's position was to prevent the East China government from gaining greater benefits in this war, and he could only stick to it to the end, saying: "Therefore, the requirements of overseas Chinese are too excessive. When their advantages on the battlefield are lost, it may be too late to stop."

"But overseas Chinese may also expand their advantages. If the war continues, anything may happen. At that time, overseas Chinese may offer higher prices." As he said that, probably because Scholes was more reasonable, Wilson turned to Scholes and said: "We believe that if we want to promote a ceasefire, the demands of overseas Chinese must not be ignored. Overseas Chinese should be appropriately allowed to obtain certain fruits of victory. Otherwise, if the war continues, the situation will be in danger of losing control."

Both Britain and France are all determined to curb the rise of the East China government, so they try their best to prevent the East China government from profiting in this war. However, the United States believes that since the East China government wins in the war, they must consider their interests. Otherwise, the East China government can only stand up and take risks, launch a larger war and achieve greater results, so as to force Japan and Russia to accept their own conditions. Although Japan and Russia still have the strength to fight again now, if the war continues, the East China government's winning margin will still be the most important thing. At that time, the East China government must issue a higher ceasefire price. After all, the price paid by the East China government to expand the war will eventually be regained from Japan and Russia.

Instead of risking the risk of war expansion, it is better to consider allowing the East China government to gain certain benefits. Of course, these benefits are not enough to allow the East China government to rise rapidly, and Japan and Russia can maintain a certain vitality and continue to maintain a three-legged situation in the Far East.

The United States' economic interests in the Far East are second only to Britain. Therefore, it is not in line with the interests of the United States that a long war or the only regional hegemony occurred in this region. However, the United States is still in a stage of greatness and not strongness. Because of its lack of military strength, it is not as aggressive as Britain, France, Russia and Germany in handling international affairs. It only considers the maximization of its own interests. Regardless of whether the other party can accept it, it is more inclined to put itself in the other party's shoes and propose solutions that both parties can accept.

Scholes pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, I will report this opinion to the country."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the next day, the East China government received a diplomatic merchandise from Germany and the United States, and officially proposed to the East China government that it hoped to send a military observation team to the East China government to watch the film.

Military observation groups are common in this era. They are generally dispatched from European and American powers to countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Because the war technology, weapons and tactics of this era are updated too quickly, and because the strong countries are restrained and their politics are relatively mature, wars are not easy to occur. On the contrary, countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America are either for their own interests or are provoked by European and American powers, it is easier to fight. The weapons used by countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America are basically purchased from European and American powers. They will hire military instructors from European and American powers to train and guide their own troops. After the war, European and American powers will send military observation groups to observe the war, understand the performance of new weapons, the effects of new tactics, etc. Sometimes military observation groups will also serve as an advisor and participate in commanding battles. Therefore, countries are not excluded from military observation groups. Of course, military observation groups will be sent between friendly countries.

The East China government participated in the war for only more than a month and achieved great victories on both the sea and land, which caused a great sensation in Europe, even more so than Japan. In fact, Japan's victory over Russia had already surprised European countries. No one expected that Russia, which is known as the European road roller and fighting nation, would be defeated by a small country or a yellow race. However, Japan had been in nearly one and a half years of bloody battles, and it took several meat grinder-style wars to defeat the Russian army step by step. It was a tragic battle.

The East China government only took more than a month to defeat Japan and Russia at the same time. Although they did not know the details of the battle, the results achieved were undoubtedly greater than that of the Japanese army in nearly one and a half years. Although the People's Army had the convenience of waiting for work, it was quite difficult. Therefore, many European countries are now actively collecting war data and studying the People's Army's tactics.

Germany is a country among European countries that has always maintained good relations with the East China government. It is a close military and technical cooperation between the two sides in recent years. However, it is mainly because the East China government provides military technology, especially the design ideas of weapons, while Germany realizes it with strong manufacturing capabilities. Now the German navy and army are equipped with a large number of weapons designed by the East China government, and these weapons have performed very well in German military exercises, but after all, they have not been tested in actual combat. The tactics that match these new weapons are still being explored, and the East China government is participating in the war. Therefore, the German military hopes to send a military observation team to the East China government to understand the movement effect and tactics of these new weapons in war.

In addition, Germany is now facing diplomatic pressure from the French-Russian alliance. Although the German government is also trying its best to find ways to break up the French-Russian alliance, it cannot but make the worst plans. In order to cope with the pressure of France and Russia's two fronts at the same time, it is carrying out the final improvement of the famous Schriefen plan in the future. At this time, being able to understand the Russian army's combat habits, tactics, and weapons on the battlefield will naturally be of great help to improve the Schriefen plan. Schriefen suggested that an alliance could be established with the East China government to fight against the French-Russian alliance. If the East China government restrains Russia in the Far East, Germany can deal with France wholeheartedly.

In contrast, the German Navy had greater hope for the military observation group than the army. Although Germany was building warships at this time, trying to build a powerful navy, Germany had always been a land-powered country in the past, so it lacked experience in naval construction, naval strategy and tactics. After all, a powerful navy is not built by building more warships. After learning that the People's Army Navy had won the victory over the Mahai War, Navy Minister Tirpitz had to admit that in terms of the Navy, the People's Army Navy was enough to be a teacher of the German Navy.

Since the main warships of the East China government are all made in Germany, the cooperation between the two sides in the navy is greater than that of the army. With such a layer of incest, Tirpitz also wants to take this opportunity to send a military observation team to the East China government to understand the operations and training of the People's Army Navy. It is best to be able to participate in the war with the People's Army Navy. This is also the only shortcut for the German Navy to quickly absorb the experience of naval building.
