In December, Beijing has entered a cold winter. The cold air moving south from Siberia has caused the entire northern China to enter a cold winter. Although the snow that fell a few days ago has melted, the weather is still very cold. However,
No matter how cold the weather is, it cannot extinguish the heat in people’s hearts!
The Imperial Navy won a great victory in the Red Sea. The Imperial Army even captured the Suez Canal, a major transportation route between the East and the West. When the Imperial Daily reported on the war in the Middle East in large quantities, the entire empire was in full swing. Before, people were still right
The Empire was dissatisfied with the defensive strategy adopted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but unexpectedly, the Empire's army achieved such a great victory in the blink of an eye. These days, students took to the streets to celebrate the great victory achieved by the Empire almost every day.
In the British Embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane, the British Minister to China Juerdian stood on the upper floor of the embassy, looking through the window at the energetic students on the street, feeling bitter. Ten years ago, these foreign envoys to China,
It is still the Supreme Emperor of China. But in just a few years, everything has changed. China's development is really amazing. After the founding of this empire, it took decades or even hundreds of years to achieve other countries in just seven years.
The achievements that can be achieved. Western forces have had to withdraw from the Far East, and the entire East and even the Pacific region have become China's sphere of influence. Now, China has even challenged Britain, challenging Britain's world hegemony and challenging
The colonial system that Britain has worked hard to establish. However, Britain now has the title of world hegemony. Facing China's challenges, it is unable to defend the interests of the British Empire.
"The entire Western world should unite and eliminate China together. Otherwise, China will become the endorsement of Western civilization!" Ambassador Juerdian said with great affirmation. However, he knew that no one would agree with him, although China is powerful.
, but the foundation is very shallow and cannot be compared with old-fashioned powers such as Britain and France. The Western world has also been divided into two opposing camps, which undoubtedly gives China a good development opportunity. China's industry
After several years of development, the scale has been issued. Although there is still a certain gap compared with Western powers, as long as China is given a few more years, China will definitely be able to catch up. In this regard, both sides of the railway from Beijing to Tianjin
Those densely packed factories can be seen.
Ambassador Juerdian always felt that it was a mistake to indulge the development of western Sichuan at that time. If western Sichuan were destroyed at that time, perhaps the Chinese Empire would not have been present today! The British Empire would not have been in the hands of this country one after another.
A fall in love!
After shook his head and expelling these unrealistic thoughts from his mind, Ambassador Jurden asked, "Is the French ambassador here?"
"Not yet!" replied the secretary of the embassy.
"Damn Gauls, can they be more punctual? We are going to ask for peace!" Ambassador Jurden cursed. He had received instructions from the country to prepare to contact the Chinese side so that the British Empire could be decent
End this war. As an ally of the British Empire, participants in this war, the French government also made the same decision as the British government. The French also did not want the war to continue! Otherwise, this war would be
A war that is doomed to fail will bring disaster to both countries!
It was not until 9:30 in the morning that the car of French Ambassador to China Pierre drove into the British Embassy.
"His Excellency Juerdian, I'm sorry, I'm late!" Pierre said with a smile.
"It's okay! Your Excellency Pierre, you have also received instructions from the French government! So, what does the French government mean?" Jurden asked.
"The country hopes to end the war as soon as possible and end the war before the British and French coalition forces in the Saudi Kingdom have run out of ammunition and food! However, the French government also hopes to do its best to protect France's interests!" Pierre said. Obviously, although there is no
Win, but the French government is still obsessed with the rich oil resources in the Middle East. In this war, the French government has spent more than one billion francs! If no profit is achieved, those military expenses for this war
The industrial and commercial capitalists who paid the bill will definitely be very dissatisfied. By then, the Lube government may have to fall!
Zhu Erdian shook his head speechlessly. Now Britain and France are at a disadvantage. The French still want to get benefits. How is this possible? China is no longer the weak and incompetent Qing government, nor are they Western powers who can bully them at will.
Yes. Ambassador Zhuerdian suddenly felt that this peace talks would probably return in vain.
"His Excellency Pierre, let's go! The agreed time with Chinese Foreign Minister Mr. Wu Tingfang is 10:20 in the morning! Now, the time should be almost done!" Ambassador Juerdian said.
Afterwards, Ambassador Juerdian got on the British Embassy's car, and two cars drove out of Dongjiaomin Lane and headed towards the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
China is already promoting cars on a large scale, and government departments in various places have already adopted cars instead of carriages. At the same time, wealthy businessmen and factory owners have also joined in, making China's automobile industry gain.
With vigorous development, the roads in Beijing have also specially divided the lanes for cars to drive. Now cars have become a common means of transportation in Beijing!
Through the car windows, looking at the cars, trucks and shops driving on the clean roads, Ambassador Juerdian's mood became heavier. The ancient city of Beijing has been full of vitality.
The same is true for this ancient Eastern Empire!
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Jurden and Pierre arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China. They had already made an appointment, and under the leadership of the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they came directly to the office of Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang!
"Two Ambassadors, I am very happy to see you!" Wu Tingfang smiled very happily. China has gained a huge advantage on the battlefield, which has made him, the Foreign Minister, faced the envoys of Britain and France,
Can straighten your back!
"Hello, Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs!" Jurden and Pierre also greeted Wu Tingfang respectfully. They no longer have the capital to be proud of now!
Then, the secretary brought the fragrant coffee and left the office. In the entire office, Wu Tingfang and the ambassadors from Britain and France were left! Everyone knows that the ambassadors from Britain and France are probably here to seek peace.
.The entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs is almost always paying attention to the meeting between Wu Tingfang and the ambassadors of Britain and France today.
"Two Ambassadors, what are your purpose today?" Wu Tingfang asked directly without going around in circles.
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, our two countries hope to end the war in the Middle East with China. This war has brought huge losses to both of us, and there is no need for us to continue fighting!" Zhu Erdian said first.
"Haha! It is of course the best thing to do without war. However, the interests of the empire must be protected. If the interests of the empire are damaged, the empire will use all means to protect the interests of the empire!
"Wu Tingfang said with a smile. At the beginning, this sentence was said by French Ambassador to China Pierre with a proud look on his face. However, the result on the battlefield undoubtedly slapped the French Ambassador to China!
Sure enough, when he heard Wu Tingfang say this, French Ambassador to China Pierre's face suddenly became gloomy.
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Middle East has always been the sphere of influence of Britain and France. China's invasion of the Middle East has violated the interests of our two countries. China's interests have not been damaged at all!" French Ambassador to China Pierre coldly
Said.
"The whole world is changing every day. Although Britain and France invaded the Middle East first, and we entered the Middle East later. But is there any difference?" Wu Tingfang asked.
"Of course there is a difference. This is China's invasion of us! It is an invasion!" Pierre said angrily.
"So, a war broke out between us. However, the current war seems to be very beneficial to our country!" Wu Tingfang said.
"China has just gained a temporary advantage. We have not lost the war yet. As long as France is willing, France can mobilize millions of troops to join the war at any time. The final victory must be ours!" Pierre gritted his teeth and said
Said.
"Since that's the case, then our meeting today is completely unnecessary. Let's use war to decide everything!" Wu Tingfang said coldly. These French people are still unwilling to admit defeat, they are completely dead ducks.
Stubborn! Did they wait for the French army on the front line to die before giving in?
Jurden frowned. Britain no longer wanted to continue to fight. If the negotiations failed, it would be troublesome. At least, the British Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops in the Middle East were in trouble.
"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, our British Empire is very sincere. We hope to end the war with China. This war is simply a misunderstanding." Juerdian said.
"So, what about the conditions in Britain?" Wu Tingfang asked.
"The British Empire hopes that the Middle East can return to its pre-war situation. The Chinese army withdraws from the Suez Canal and Kuwait. The British Empire's army will withdraw from the Saudi Kingdom!" Jurden said.
"His Excellency Juerdian, does Britain want to betray the covenant?" Pierre stared at Juerdian angrily.
"His Excellency Pierre, this war has no meaning anymore, it's time to end!" Jurden said calmly.
"Two, this is not the place for you to argue. Ambassador Jurden, I can answer you now. Kuwait has signed a protection treaty with our country and is already our protector. The Chinese army cannot withdraw its troops from Kuwait. In addition,
, Suez Canal, we don’t want to give up!" Wu Tingfang said firmly! (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
