The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

Long Fei gave the Gallic Kingdom three days to consider, which actually had a deeper meaning: after conquering the Lion Kingdom, he would use this as a warning to intimidate the Gallic Kingdom, prompting them to surrender decisively and agree to all conditions.

Subsequently, more than a thousand warships surrounded the Lion Kingdom in just one day.

As a long-established military power, the Lion Kingdom's military industry was operating at full capacity, working overtime to prevent a possible invasion by the Hans Kingdom.

Therefore, at this time, the Lion Kingdom had a navy of more than 200 warships, including eight aircraft carriers, fifteen battleships, more than 60 cruisers, and more than 100 destroyers, with a total tonnage of 1.3 million tons and a force of more than 200,000.

In terms of air force, it has more than 10,000 fighter jets and a force of over one million.

As for the army, it is not to be underestimated. It currently has more than 5 million troops, more than 20,000 tanks, and countless artillery pieces of various calibers.

With such formidable military strength, Akio naturally refused to surrender and ordered the army, navy, and air force to prepare for battle.

However, Qiujier also knew that the Dragon Flame People's Army was not to be trifled with, and he would definitely choose to avoid war if possible.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Qiujier could only request the United States to mediate and expressed his willingness to negotiate with Longyan Kingdom.

However, US President Ross flatly rejected Choiji's request.

Ross knew that Long Fei wouldn't give him or the United States any face, so he didn't want to make a fool of himself. He advised Qiu Jier not to confront Long Fei head-on, and to negotiate directly if she wanted to.

Qiu Jier never expected that the United States would become a coward in the face of the Dragon Flame Kingdom, forcing him to deal with it cautiously.

Qiujier immediately sent a telegram to Longfei requesting negotiations.

Long Fei thought to himself, "Since you've proposed negotiations, let's give it a try."

Next, Xie Qiang, as the negotiator, led a team to Plymouth to negotiate with the other party.

The Lion Kingdom's negotiator was their Foreign Minister, Byrne.

After both parties entered the negotiation room, Xie Qiang directly handed over the list of conditions drafted by Long Fei.

After reading it, Byrne immediately shook his head in opposition.

"General Xie, your demands to bomb Buckingham Palace, burn down the museum, and take away all the artifacts in my museum are not only excessive but also extremely insulting. We will never accept them."

"As for the return of cultural relics that rightfully belong to China and the compensation of 10 billion pounds, our attitude toward these two conditions is that they are open to discussion."

Xie Qiang looked at Bourne, gave a wicked smile, and began digging a pit.

"Foreign Minister Byrne, do you really think our three conditions are excessive and insulting?"

“Of course, without a doubt,” Byrne said, tilting his head back.

Seeing that the other party had fallen into the pit, Xie Qiang began his real performance. He slammed his hand on the table and loudly questioned them.

"Back then, your ancestors used powerful ships and cannons to bully China, poisoned the Chinese people with drugs, and plundered countless amounts of silver."

"Your ancestors invaded the land of China, killed the Chinese people, stole countless precious cultural relics of China, and burned down the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens of China."

"Back then, your ancestors forced the Qing government of China to sign a humiliating treaty that ceded national sovereignty and paid you a huge amount of silver in reparations."

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister Byrne, is this kind of banditry and thuggish behavior from your Lion Country not excessive? Isn't it an insult to China?"

“This…” Byrne was speechless for a moment when Xie Qiang asked him this question.

After a moment's thought, Byrne argued conceitedly, "General Xie, you represent the Dragon Flame Kingdom, why are you bringing up the Chinese Kingdom?"

"Nonsense! We, the people of Longyan Kingdom, are all descendants of the Chinese nation and will always be a part of the Chinese nation."

Bourne was now completely speechless. He could only say shamelessly, "General Xie, but what you're saying is all history, and we can't change history, can we?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Qiang nodded in agreement: "Foreign Minister Byrne, you are right. We cannot change history, but we can write history."

“A new history?” Byrne clearly did not understand what Xie Qiang meant.

"Yes, a new history. Today will become tomorrow's history, this minute will become the next minute's history. My Longyan Kingdom will write a new, glorious, and magnificent history for the Huaxia Kingdom."

"And you, Foreign Minister Byrne, will be a witness to and participant in this history."

Xie Qiang's confident and passionate words resonated throughout the world, commanding Bourne's utmost respect.

Xie Qiang continued, "Foreign Minister Byrne, if your side is unwilling to sign this treaty, that's fine. Then you can prepare to sign the surrender document next time."

"By the way, I must remind you that your Lion Kingdom is no longer the invincible empire that once stood the longest. In the words of our leader, Mr. Long Fei, you have now fallen into the sunset empire."

"And on this blue planet, the future China will rise rapidly and become a true empire on which the sun never sets, and the red flag of China will be planted all over the world."

After saying that, Xie Qiang stood up and turned to leave.

Bourne was shocked by Xie Qiang's words and hurriedly shouted.

"General Xie, please wait a moment."

"Foreign Minister Bourne, do you have anything else to say?"

“Our Lion Kingdom is not a lamb to be slaughtered. The Hans Kingdom has not yet been able to land on our land. We have a powerful army, navy, and air force. Are you, Dragon Flame Kingdom, sure you want to go to war with us?”

Xie Qiang turned around and nodded seriously: "Foreign Minister Byrne, you are absolutely right. Your Lion Country is indeed not a lamb to be slaughtered, but in the face of absolute strength, you are at best a bunch of chickens and dogs."

"Clay chickens and clay dogs? Chet, how dare you compare our mighty Lion Kingdom army to clay chickens and clay dogs? That's going too far."

After saying that, Xie Qiang decisively strode away, leaving Bourne standing bewildered in the wind.

Long Fei and he had long known that such negotiations were meaningless and could not achieve any substantial progress. They agreed to come and talk only to play along and make fun of him.

Upon returning to the capital, Bourne hurriedly reported to Chojir.

Seeing the Dragon Flame Kingdom's firm and arrogant attitude, Qiu Ji'er immediately ordered the three armies to prepare for battle.

Since Longfei does not have an aircraft carrier, it ordered the air force to transfer half of its fighter jets to airports in the Middle East and North Africa.

From these two regions, the Lion Kingdom and Gaul can be reached in just a few hours.

Before the war began, Qiujier still telegraphed the United States and Russia to inform them, since they were allies.

Stalin of the Russian Kingdom was secretly worried. He feared that if the Lion Kingdom was defeated, it would be unable to draw the Hans Kingdom's troops away, thus increasing the pressure on his side.

Therefore, Stalin replied, opposing the war between the Lion Kingdom and the Dragon Flame Kingdom, and persuading Qiujier to make concessions.

Of course, Chouihart could not heed Stalin's advice to ignore the other party's call.

President Ross, however, had a different opinion. He had been so humiliated by the Dragon Flame Kingdom that he had lost all face.

Therefore, President Ross was more than happy for the Lion Kingdom to be taught a lesson by the Dragon Flame Kingdom, so that they would also be slapped in the face, and the United States would not look so embarrassed.
