MacDonald and Stanley are confronting each other, representing the interests of their respective parties. This kind of thing is common in countries around the world. Opposition parties will always drag the ruling party down until they drag the ruling party down. After the opposition party comes to power, the ruling party that has stepped down will drag the other party down. This phenomenon continues to cycle.

The British Cabinet urgent meeting, but the two parties in the United Cabinet broke up against each other without reaching a substantial opinion. However, for the British side, the result of the Tang-Japan naval battle attracted the attention of the Royal Navy. They were firm admirers of giant ship cannonism, and they wanted to know how the Tang aircraft carrier destroyed the Japanese battleships.

Although the spokesperson of the Tang Dynasty had made a statement, accusing the Japanese battleship of being too thin and lacking air defense firepower, which led to being sunk by Tang army aircraft. A large number of generals within the British Navy believed it, but it is not ruled out that a few military geniuses realized the huge power of aircraft carriers in future naval battles.

They believe that in order to maintain the powerful power of the empire of the Sun Never Set, they require the construction of large-scale aircraft carriers. In the next three years, at least seven large aircraft carriers with displacements of 20,000 to 30,000 tons will be in service, plus one of the USS Brave aircraft carriers with displacements of 20,000 tons in service, a total of eight large aircraft carriers, which should be twice as high as the four large aircraft carriers in service in the Tang Empire Navy, so as to reflect the strength of the British Navy.

However, once their plan was proposed, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the giant ships and artillery generals within the British Navy. It is better to build seven large aircraft carriers than to build seven battleships or modernize and upgrade the British Navy's active warships and strengthen their air defense capabilities.

Since the British side has not yet grasped the real details of the Tang-Royal Naval Battle. How the main warships of the Japanese Joint Fleet were sunk by the Tang Army aircraft carrier-based aircraft, and who is more powerful, the battleships or aircraft carriers have no conclusive evidence to decide on these issues. Therefore, the British Navy approved a delegation of officers led by Navy Secretary William Edmund Ironside to conduct a state visit to the Tang Empire, demanding a thorough understanding of the secrets of the Tang army's defeat of the Japanese Joint Fleet, and then decide whether to build an aircraft carrier or other warships.

The next day, the British Minister to the Tang Empire applied to the Ministry of National Defense of the Tang Empire. He asked His Highness Zhang Meng, the commander of the Tang Empire's three armies, to send an invitation to the British Ministry of National Defense to promote in-depth exchanges between the Tang and Ying armies.

The Ministry of National Defense of one country and the Ministry of Navy of another country are an unequal invitation letter. If it were the case before, Zhang Meng, who was low-key at that time, might have personally sent an invitation letter to the Royal Navy in the name of the commander of the army, navy and air force. But now it is impossible for Zhang Meng to be low-key. Eliminating the Japanese Joint Fleet has made him a world celebrity and known as the most outstanding military strategist and strategist of the 20th century. His every move is closely watched by the whole world. If Zhang Meng sends an invitation letter to the British Navy, he will appear inferior.

Obviously, the British did it on purpose. If Zhang Meng did as he did, the whole world would still think that the Tang Empire was still one level lower than the United Kingdom, and the relationship between Britain and the Tang Empire became affiliated and inclusive.

In the end, Zhang Meng did not respond, but ordered Lieutenant General Lieutenant General Lie Haichen, the Minister of the Navy and Commander of the First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group, to send an invitation letter to the British Royal Navy in the name of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire. In this way, the departments of the two sides became equal.

This made William and his British Admiralty very dissatisfied. This shows that Britain and the Tang Empire have now become equal relations between countries.

At the same time, another wording also made the British very upset.

It turned out that as a member of the Commonwealth, the Tang Empire's navy was called the Royal Tang Empire Navy. Now the invitation letter has been changed to the Royal Tang Empire Navy. The reversed position means that the Tang Empire Navy is no longer nominally affiliated with the British Royal Navy combat sequence, but is equal to the British Royal Navy.

The Tang Empire's move was obviously to take advantage of the remnant power of defeating the Japanese joint fleet and take the opportunity to adjust the bilateral relationship between the Tang Empire and the British Empire. The two sides are no longer affiliated and inclusive. The Tang Empire requires a reciprocal relationship with the British Empire.

The British were very unhappy, but they did not dare to offend the Tang Empire. After all, being able to defeat the Japanese joint fleet proved that the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire had strong power. Although the British Royal Navy is still the second largest navy in the world, they were confident that they would gather all the resources of warships to suppress the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, they could not do that, which means that in the Pacific Rim, Britain's policy was still moderate, that is, the Japanese Navy used to be moderate, but now it has become a moderate treatment of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.

Just an adjustment of the object means that the British had to recognize the military existence and status of the Tang Empire in the Pacific Rim.

William hesitated for a while and finally had to give up his identity, accept the invitation of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, and lead a British naval officers' team of more than 300 people to the Tang Empire in a mighty way.

William wanted to go to the Tang Empire in a low-key manner, but at this time the Tang Empire was eager to expand its international influence and establish the image of a military power. Therefore, the Tang Foreign Ministry followed Zhang Meng's order and held a press conference for William and his party, and the whole world knew about it.

Even Britain, the second naval power in the world, sent William the First Navy Minister to visit the Tang Empire, and brought a huge army of hundreds of people. It was obvious that it attached great importance to the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire. Invisibly, the international influence of the Tang Empire expanded. The Royal Navy of the Tang Empire rose strongly, and even replaced the Japanese joint fleet to become the third largest naval power in the world.

All countries could not sit still. Their ideas were similar to those of the British side. They all wanted to deeply understand the truth about the Tang Empire's Royal Navy defeating the Japanese Joint Fleet. After all, it is terrifying that they can defeat the world's third naval power such as the Japanese Navy. All countries must know the truth, otherwise they will suffer great losses in the future.

Therefore, the United States on the Pacific coast was the country that was most worried about the Tang Empire. They followed Britain and took the lead in asking the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire to send an invitation letter in the name of the US Navy. One sheep was also driven, and two sheep were also released. The Tang Empire immediately agreed to the request of the US Navy. The same was sent an invitation letter in the name of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire. A 200-man U.S. Navy officers led by Lieutenant General Rebus, Secretary of the US Navy Command, went to the Tang Empire.

Subsequently, France, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Türkiye and other countries successively negotiated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire, and then received an invitation letter.

It is worth mentioning that the Soviet Union also sent a delegation to visit the Tang Empire, but they seemed to have a different purpose. The National Government also had a different purpose, which included the National Government, and they also sent a delegation to visit the Tang Empire. Obviously, the National Government had no money to manage the navy at all, so it must have a different purpose.

The Japanese also wanted to come. They wanted to know the truth that their joint fleet was almost wiped out. Because the Japanese heavy cruiser detachment that fled back to Taiwan did not participate in the naval and air war from beginning to end, they did not know how the Tang army used aircraft carrier battle groups to destroy Japanese battleships and aircraft carriers. There were few Japanese naval survivors participating in the naval battle, and except for fear, they did not bring back any valuable information. Therefore, the Japanese were also eager to know the Tang army's magic weapon to win.

The extra-high school spy organized by Yoshiko Kawashima quickly used special means to infiltrate the delegation of the National Government to go to the Tang Empire as a reporter.

While the Tang Empire was actively preparing to receive visits from various delegations from the ** side, Zhang Xinhai suddenly announced that he would give up the Emperor of the Tang Empire and take his family out of Chang'an and return to Shanghai.

Zhang Xinhai and his wife were grateful to Zhang Meng for his filial piety in the past few years, but this old man had a very strong temper and wanted to save face. Naturally, he could not have the nerve to stay in the Tang Empire as a local emperor. He didn't even dare to see Zhang Meng head-on, so before Zhang Meng led the fleet back to the Tang Dynasty, he took the family and left in a hurry.

When Zhang Meng returned to Chang'an, Zhang Wei and Zhang Fu also said goodbye to Zhang Meng one after another.

"Weier, you will always be the eldest princess of the Tang Empire. The door here will always be open for you. I hope you can go back to Shanghai and persuade the old man. If he is willing to come back, he will still be the emperor here."

Zhang Wei suddenly smiled bitterly: "You also know the old man's temper. If it weren't for your help, it would be difficult for the old man to survive this level. He just felt that he owed you too much, so he left without saying goodbye. He couldn't come back. If you go back to Shanghai to see the old man, it's your home."

Zhang Meng nodded, and was able to immediately have Zhang Xinhai's position.

At this time, Zhang Fu said, "A Zhong will not go back to the Zhang family. I hope your highness can treat him well. As for Acheng, I want to ask Your Highness to let him go back to the Zhang family. I am old, and the Zhang family needs someone to help me take care of it."

Zhang Meng knew what Zhang Cheng was afraid of and had no intention of dealing with him. For Zhang Fu and Zhang Zhong's sake, Zhang Meng nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, Zhang Wei handed a letter to Zhang Meng and told him that this was written by Han Qingxuan to him.

After seeing off Zhang Fu and Zhang Wei, Zhang Meng opened the letter Han Qingxuan gave him.

The letter said that Han Qingxuan was very grateful to Zhang Meng. In Han Qingxuan's position, Zhang Meng killed Kazuno Sakai to avenge Han Qingxuan. Being able to take care of Zhang Xinhai and his wife's family shows that Zhang Meng is a kind-hearted person. If someone else had pretended to be a fake, he would probably choose to deceive Han Qingxuan first and then change it after playing enough, but Zhang Meng didn't do that, which shows that he is a gentleman.

At the end of the letter, Han Qingxuan hopes that if she is destined, she hopes to meet Zhang Meng on another occasion.

After reading the letter, Zhang Meng found that there was a photo in the envelope. The photo showed a woman wearing a phoenix crown and a robe dressed very beautifully, especially her big elf-like eyes that showed a look of no world. It was Han Qingxuan herself, and the background of the photo was Daming Palace.

Zhang Meng smiled slightly, looked over the back of the photo and saw a line of small characters written on it. After reading it, Zhang Meng couldn't help but be stunned.
