The Chinese side did not give up the intention of invading the Dutch East Indies at all, and this is true. In this era, countries that can send ironclad ships overseas will not give up nibbling on fat. Just as in the 21st century, the ability to deploy nuclear weapons around the world was the bottom line of its strategy, and in the second half of the 19th century, the global deployment of ironclad ships was the criterion for major powers.

The criterion of whether it is a big country is actually very simple, no matter how much India shouts that its nuclear weapons can fight Pakistan, how can it hit certain cities in China, but India will never dare to shout that it can hit Moscow and hit the United States. If India dares to openly shout like this, it is destined to be suppressed by the "five hooligans".

Correspondingly, the "big hooligans" dare to claim that my nuclear weapons are capable of destroying any country in the world. Only by proudly declaring that I can be the enemy of any country in the world, even the rest of the world, and being recognized by all countries in the world, can I become a country with a strong influence in the world.

Britain is such a country that is recognized as having a strong influence in the world, because Britain is able to send ironclad ships to countries all over the world. The reason why Britain could not actually intervene in the American Civil War was because British ironclad ships could not cross the rough Atlantic Ocean and reach the United States by an overwhelming margin. If Britain had such strength, it would have directly intervened in the American Civil War, and even taken advantage of the great opportunity of the American Civil War to eliminate the American Northern regime.

The British Parliament, which was given a detailed summary of the talks between the envoy and Weeser for seven days, was made up of smart men and members with full experience in industrialized countries. Even if it is known that China has not given up on invading the Dutch East Indies, what can it be? Did Britain send all the fleets of the British Empire to the western Pacific to fight a war that did not lead to a decisive victory?

The bottom line for the British was this, and the moment they openly declared war and sent their fleet out of their British home port, they had no way out. Either victory or destruction. The propaganda of racial superiority had become a burden for Britain at this time, and if Britain lost to a country that was also Caucasian, there would be no particular problem. Civil wars between whites, winning or losing have little effect on racism. But losing to a country other than the white man means that the white man's superiority theory is completely finished. Britain, the most powerful of the white nations, has lost, and the rest of the country has no chance of victory. The theory of white superiority is completely bankrupt. And Britain will be the target of public criticism.

The British Parliament sent a telegram with rare speed, asking the British envoy to reascertain China's attitude, and whether China was greedy for the Dutch East Indies was no longer the main question, and whether China was hostile to the British Empire.

When the British envoy asked to meet with Weser, he was talking about the core question: whether China would accept Britain's right to speak in the Western Pacific, as Weeser had previously discussed.

It took him half an hour to understand what the British envoy's rambling conversation was about. At this time, Wei Ze was quite relieved, it turned out that the British were also afraid of beating wolves with hemp sticks. Although the big hooligan is still a hooligan, what the big hooligan is most afraid of is losing face. Any person or any organization that is afraid of losing face means that it has obvious flaws.

One of the characteristics of industrial countries is that the country's economy and politics are based on confidence. When confidence in an industrial country is undermined at home and abroad, the country's credit is finished, at least until confidence is restored.

"Britain cannot base your faith on the submission of our China." Weese answered the question frankly.

Hearing such a serious answer, the British envoy immediately felt unhappy in his heart. As a special envoy, if you can bring China to its knees with pure diplomacy, it will be an unparalleled achievement. This is just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, and the envoy can complete the mission of the covenant with his own strength, which is immediately a great achievement.

But in the face of a figure like Weese, the British envoy felt that he could not use it. Unless Britain makes a substantial move, Weeser is not at all affected by any words. What diplomats are best at is to fool others with their own mouths, and a leader who is not fooled at all is undoubtedly a diplomat's nightmare.

"What exactly does Your Majesty want?" The British envoy simply tested Weeser's bottom line.

"Quite simply, we don't want new entrants in the Western Pacific. We do not want an uncontrollable military conflict in the western Pacific. If Britain sees itself as the maker and defender of the order in the Western Pacific, then I think Britain should do something about both. Weeser replied very frankly.

This is not the wisdom of Weizer, but the wisdom of China in the 21st century. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Americans felt that they were incomparable, and China did not resist hard, but demanded that the United States practice the ideas they shouted at them. The purpose of what the Yankees are doing is the interests of the United States itself, and when China asks the United States to put into practice their "lip service", the Yankees are exposed for what they are. The Yankees' tricks were not to say that they could not deceive the Chinese government, and even the awakened Chinese people could not deceive them.

Thinking of this, Weeser began to miss the Internet as a tool infinitely. If there is an Internet, the flattening process of the whole society will be greatly accelerated. For a political structure like Wei Ze, where the power of one person overrides all forces, the flatter the society, the easier it is.

The British envoy didn't have the ability to read minds, so he had no way of knowing that Wesser's mind was jumping back and forth in a hundred years of time and space. Weeser's demand, though harsh, did not surprise the British envoy at all.

No one likes historical materialism, and it is too difficult for this attitude of understanding based on the changing world to become the universal thinking of mankind. On the contrary, the kind of mechanical materialism is easily accepted by everyone, and acknowledging the status quo and allowing the status quo to continue forever in one's favor is undoubtedly the direction of world development that the more intelligent human beings are looking forward to.

If China can cooperate with the United Kingdom, let the current situation in the Western Pacific continue. In other words, Britain is the number one navy in the western Pacific, and China will not challenge Britain's position, or even succumb to the status quo, so that the British will continue to be the number one navy in the western Pacific and accept Britain as the ruler of the Western Pacific order. The envoy was also rewarded by the British government, and was knighted.

Even if he felt that he couldn't see through Wei Ze, even if he felt that Wei Ze had the power of the British envoy who was absolutely impossible to control, the British envoy couldn't help but give in to his expectations.

"If His Majesty wants to build such a system, we hope to be able to have a comprehensive consultation with His Majesty." The British envoy pondered for a while before finally speaking.
