The 1890s was basically still the era of telegraphs, but sending telegrams required pre-laying cables, and the emergence of radio completely disrupted all original communication systems. After receiving the two radio transmitters brought out by Li Ningyu, the British immediately
Research was launched, but many scientists could not figure out much in a short time. They only knew that radio was an electromagnetic wave that could propagate in the air without laying cables.
In the following 10 days, the Eleventh Summit was held again, but this time the agreement was signed in London. Li Ningyu had no objection to such a proposal. Although both Zhang Dahu and Liu Qinghui were worried that the United Kingdom would be unfavorable to Li Ningyu, they both
I was persuaded by Li Ningyu with a smile because he understood the British character.
Aboard the Yangtze-class No. 1 battleship, Li Ningyu brought Duan Tong and Li Xihua to the Port of London, England. At the same time, he met some familiar people at the largest port in the United Kingdom, including German Prime Minister Bismarck, with whom Li Ningyu was an old acquaintance.
Well, as one of the first batch of foreign high-level officials to develop Baifen, Bismarck still provided a lot of help to the Far East, and Li Ningyu had always used moderate means, which Bismarck gradually accepted.
Just imagine, a person who has clearly controlled your spirit, but still has a minimum of respect and courtesy towards you. Who would find fault with such a person? The power in the Far East is not bad, and it is still the feudal era.
But Li Ningyu doesn't think about the problem in this way, because he feels that simply using white identity to control people is not a good way, attacking the heart is the way to go!
The Eleventh Summit was held at the London City Hall on March 15, 1889. At 10 a.m., Li Xihua signed the Eleven-Nation African Agreement on Equality and Mutual Benefit on behalf of the Far East at 10 a.m., followed by a large reception at Buckingham Palace, during which Li Ningyu met the most important figures in British history.
The famous Queen Victoria, when talking about Britain, people will naturally think of the Queen. When thinking of the Queen, people will naturally think of Victoria. The Queen, who was already 70 years old, was still in high spirits. However, she left not long after the wedding, but she
Ask someone to invite Li Ningyu to discuss it.
Walking in the palace corridor of Buckingham Palace, the various wall paintings and oil paintings as well as the unique decorations of the royal family brought a strong visual impact to Li Ningyu, and also brought a sense of oppression. During the walk,
Although Li Ningyu kept adjusting his emotions, when the British diplomats came to a meeting room in the palace, Li Ningyu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, because after all, he was meeting the world's first empire in the 19th century.
, the supreme ruler of the empire on which the sun never sets, Queen Victoria.
At this time, there were two men and one woman sitting in the conference hall. The British diplomat who led the way straightened up and walked inside after the palace maid opened the door to the conference hall. Then when he walked 5 meters in front of Queen Victoria, the diplomat said
The officials immediately saluted and saluted, and then Li Ningyu followed suit and said hello: "Dear Her Majesty the Queen, on behalf of the people of the East and myself, I would like to extend my most respectful greetings to you!".
Queen Victoria did not reply, but raised her hand slightly with a smile on her face. Then Li Ningyu sat down on the sofa under the guidance of the diplomat. Then the diplomat began to introduce the two men next to Li Ningyu one by one.
One is Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, and the other is their eldest son, Edward VII, the current King of India and the next supreme ruler of the United Kingdom.
Then Li Ningyu stood up again to say hello to the two of them, but Prince Albert seemed a bit arrogant and didn't seem to take the 16-year-old oriental boy in front of him at all, while Edward VII was polite to Li Ningyu.
Plus, because he was really interested in the boy in front of him.
After sitting down again, the two sides naturally began to discuss matters, and these matters were definitely confidential between Li Ningyu and the United Kingdom. During the entire discussion, Li Ningyu seemed to have a lot of respect for Queen Victoria and Edward VII, but a little bit for Prince Albert.
Neither cold nor indifferent, because in Li Ningyu's heart, Prince Albert was just a freeloader. This made him very angry, and then he began to make things difficult intentionally or unintentionally. But fortunately, Li Ningyu had already warned him before he came to discuss the matter.
Be prepared, as long as it involves his own interests, Li Ningyu will not give in no matter who it is.
During the discussion, both parties explained some details one by one, and then the British diplomats drafted a secret agreement and gave it to Li Ningyu and Queen Victoria to seal. But just when Li Ningyu was about to leave, Edward VII followed him out.
, Li Ningyu was puzzled and had to ask: "Your Majesty Edward, I wonder what else you have to do?".
"Haha, it's nothing. I just heard some things about you a long time ago. To be honest, I am very curious about you, so I came out to chat with you. After all, the scene inside is too tense and serious!"
Looking at the smiling Edward VII in front of him who spoke his thoughts directly, Li Ningyu even felt a sense of hallucination, as if he had met a monster. He really didn't expect that such a cheerful person could eventually become the supreme ruler of the United Kingdom, but some
Li Ningyu didn't know about it.
Edward VII was a person who liked to make friends. As early as the time of the Prince of Wales, Edward VII had visited European and American countries and achieved great success. Before the death of Queen Victoria, Edward had already promoted the development of Britain, France and Russia.
The initial formation of the Entente. In 1901, after Edward VII succeeded to the throne, the Entente of Britain, France, and Russia was formed. Through this Entente, Britain stabilized its position on the European continent, but the formation of this alliance eventually led to the first
The outbreak of World War II, so some people blame Edward VII for the outbreak of World War I.
In 1910, Edward VII passed away. Edward VII basically did not participate in many state affairs when he was young, so he lacked experience in handling state affairs. However, Edward VII liked to communicate, so he was extremely popular with the British people.
Looking at the 50-year-old man in front of him, Li Ningyu was stuck for a moment, but then Edward VII followed Li Ningyu all the way to Shanghai and invited Li Ningyu to visit his residence tomorrow night. In order to temporarily get rid of Edward VII in front of him,
Li Ningyu reluctantly agreed, and then Edward VII left as if he was a child. Li Ningyu shook his head and left quickly.
