"The person who is speaking today is the second prince of His Majesty the Emperor of China, are you sure that is right?" There was a discussion in the British delegation about what happened during the day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info was headed by the man who had come out to speak halfway, and although he sat in the back row during the day, he was now sitting in the chief's seat, and the rest of the British delegation had no objection at all.

Not only did no one object, but the British official in charge of affairs immediately replied to the question of this 'low-ranking official': "Your Highness, that person is indeed the second prince of the Emperor of China. ”

"Does his attitude represent the policy stance of the Chinese government?" The British delegate, known as His Highness, touched his pretty mustache and asked with some uncertainty.

"As far as the system announced in China is concerned, the decision is not in the hands of the imperial family, because there is no legal royal family in China. According to the system stipulated in the constitution of the Republic of China, this Republic of China was an out-and-out republic, not an empire. Unlike the United Kingdom, China is a monarchy granted by the people, not by the king. The magistrate's answer was very clear, if it were the 21st century, the British magistrate would not have taught the monarchy of God as it is now, and even had a sense of sacredness.

Leaving no comment on the question of the origin of the monarchy, His Royal Highness of Great Britain asked the question, "How likely do you think it is that the second prince of China will deceive us?" ”

His Highness's question caused the British negotiating group to fall silent for a moment, and the answer to one of the two seemed simple, and the answer was always very heavy. What's more, what the Chinese side has put forward is directly related to the basic strategy. China's basic strategy is, of course, to dominate the world, and Britain has not yet discussed whether to change its basic strategy. At least for now, Britain's grand strategy has been to dominate the world. The result of sticking to this strategy is probably a life-and-death war with China.

Silence, silence, British officials either opened their mouths to drink tea or bowed their heads and smoked. As the top bureaucracy in Europe, no one dares to make a mistake in such a matter, and His Royal Highness, who is responsible for negotiations, is the one who can speak.

"Arrange it, I want to talk to the second prince of China once." His Highness has also taken on the responsibility of giving orders.

"Yes!" The officials all breathed a sigh of relief, and it was really good for His Highness to take responsibility. Of course, the affairs officials did not dare to really let His Highness make random decisions, once His Highness messed up the matter, the affairs officials would probably be the ones who took the blame. Therefore, an official suggested: "Your Highness, we believe that there is also a conflict between the second prince of China and the governor of Chinese East Africa. Please be mindful of this, and do not let the second prince of China challenge the position of Governor of East Africa too much. ”

His Highness nodded slightly. The governor of East Africa in the Republic of China was necessarily a high-ranking minister, while the second prince was a nobleman with natural inheritance rights. In the British experience, the contradiction between the two is actually very large. Considering this question, His Royal Highness of Great Britain asked the commissioner, "Are you sure that the brother of the second prince is still alive?" I haven't seen any news about the Grand Prince until now. Could he really give up his intention to inherit the throne? ”

The upper echelons of Europe have always cared deeply about Weese's family members. The two daughters of the Chinese emperor taught at the university after graduating from university, and the European upper class had a good evaluation. However, among the emperor's four sons, one became a doctor and was studying for a doctorate, and the other was a metallurgical expert, working freely in the research institute in Shanghai. This made the European upper echelons, especially the European royal families, feel very nonsense. While both professions are decent in Europe, they are aimed at the non-ruling class. The heir to the ruler who is rooted in the red has actually taken up a technical profession, which is a very cheap thing.

"So far, there has been no sign of the Chinese emperor announcing the crown prince." There was also some confusion in the minister's voice, Weeser is almost 60 years old this year, he is 14 years younger than the Indian Empress Victoria, and from the perspective of a politician, he is also very young. From Lichu's point of view, the Chinese emperor was too late to act.

"I decided to have time to talk to this prince about his brother." His Royal Highness said.

For the evaporation of Weese's eldest son, the European royal family regretted more than surprised. The British side generally believes that the eldest son of the emperor is probably in poor health or has some kind of illness. Even if the eldest son of the emperor is not healthy, at least he has the value of intermarrying with Europe. Wei Ze's second wife's cousin Li Weiren married a beautiful princess of the Ottoman Empire, which made European countries feel that the Ottoman Empire and the Min Dynasty began to marry. Even this kind of marriage that is not directly related to the blood is of great value in the eyes of European royal families. If the eldest son of the Chinese emperor marries with Europe, it means that the aristocratic lineage of the whole of Europe will undergo a lot of changes.

These officials actually wanted to persuade His Highness that more things were better than less, but these words were finally choked back into their stomachs. The Chinese royal family is too far away from Europe to have any personal friendship with the European royal family. Europe has always wanted to establish relations with China, and His Highness's attempt is an effort.

The next day, the two Highnesses met. After taking the English business card handed over by His Royal Highness and looking at it for a moment, Wei Kun smiled and said, "I don't have a business card, I'm really sorry." ”

"That's not a problem. We meet with the upper echelons of European countries by referrals, not by business cards. His Highness smiled and said, "If Your Excellency wants to visit Europe, I am willing to be Your Excellency's introducer." ”

Wei Kun felt very unaccustomed to such invitations, and since he was a child, he was exposed to the education of serving the country and becoming a laborer. This kind of education made Wei Kun firmly believe that only having an official identity is valuable, and private identity is a relatively low-level thing. But the other party didn't seem to be malicious, so Wei Kun smiled: "I must be on business when I go to Europe, and I naturally have a national identity." So I appreciate your kindness. ”

His Royal Highness was stunned at first, and then he said in a very admiring tone: "I really admire your self-motivation. ”

Wei Kun felt that it was really impossible to communicate with His Royal Highness, and the views of the two sides on the world did not seem to be one-dimensional. He turned the subject back to business, "Your Excellency, as I mentioned yesterday, we can choose to deal with the problem at hand on the basis of friendship. Since Your Excellency is willing to come and negotiate, I think I already have your opinion. Can you tell me about it? ”

"Do you believe this ......, the long-term friendship in the future?" His Royal Highness regretted it, but he still said the words that had been prepared by the British government officials.

"If we are willing to maintain it, I think the friendship will last." Wei Kun does not show an aggressive attitude, as long as the core remains the same, the fierce or soft rhetoric is a means rather than a goal.

"How do you feel about peacekeeping in southern Africa as a sign of friendship?" His Royal Highness said.

"How is a peacekeeping?" Wei Kun continued to ask.

"Can't we decide peace?" His Highness asked a little frivolously.

Wei Kun frowned, he didn't know how Britain decided on national affairs. It is said that the parliament is in session. In China, major decisions are made through meetings of party committees or relevant responsible bodies. If the decision is really made in this way, it is a big joke for individuals to decide peace. Not to mention that individuals decide peace, individuals probably can't even decide their own fate.

"What kind of peace is the peace that Your Excellency wants?" Forcibly holding back his dissatisfaction, Wei Kun asked such a question.

"Don't talk about the Indian Ocean, nothing else. Can we make the boundaries of our sphere of influence along the Line of Actual Control in Southern Africa. We do not interfere in the affairs of the other side in the areas under their control, and we have signed a pledge that the dispute between the two sides will be resolved through negotiation and without resorting to force. What do you think? His Royal Highness made such a suggestion in a warm voice.

Wei Kun felt the urge to laugh out loud in his heart. The request made by His Royal Highness of the United Kingdom is simply unreasonable from the perspective of the current imperialist doctrine of the law of the jungle. If the mechanism of peace negotiation can take precedence over war, then it is a complete repudiation of the old system established by the European powers. For their part, the European powers wanted to solve all problems by force.

Originally, Wei Kun thought that this highness was a complete straw bag, but now his opinion has changed. This highness actually has a rather deviant attitude. Such a request is actually nothing great in Wei Kun's opinion, the war has actually consumed too much of Min Chao's national strength and involved too much power of the Min Dynasty. If peace comes, the Republic of China will be able to fully develop the potential of its already vast territory and create a brilliant China.

Thinking of this, Wei Kun said to His Royal Highness with a sense of pity that could not be eliminated: "Our people pursue peace, do you Britain also pursue peace with us?" Can you be sure that this attitude can be supported by the British? ”

His Royal Highness's original voice originally had a lot of heat, and it could be seen that he was very thoughtful about such an idea that was unlikely to be accepted by the British core. After being poured a basin of cold water on Wei Kun's head, His Highness also returned from the fantasy world to the real world. He said helplessly: "Your Excellency, I hope to be able to decide peace with our strength. And to extend this peace to the whole of Europe, to the whole island of the world, to the whole world. But I also know that it is too much of a luxury to let those in power pursue peace. ”

Although he felt that this Highness was very naïve, Wei Kun was really moved by His Highness's ideas. If you can really give Wei Kun time, it will only take five years. He'll be able to make East Africa a lot better than it is now. At that time, Wei Kun can use the tremendous changes and motivation brought about by the productivity to build a powerful army......

Thinking of this, Wei Kun felt that he had also gone too far. His Highness may want permanent peace, while Wei Kun hopes for the accumulation of the power of war through peace. As Wei Kun's father Wei Ze said, "Peace is the stuffing of buns in the school cafeteria, and I didn't bite into it when I took the first bite." The second bite went down and bit it'. As long as the proportion of peace is much lower than that of war, no matter how much peace is expected, it will probably pass by.

"Then we are now building a peace mechanism in southern Africa and extending it to the whole of Africa. For example, a mechanism for a conference on African security could be established. What does Your Highness think? Wei Kun still chose to support part of His Royal Highness's attitude.

"Really?" His Royal Highness looked overjoyed.

"I can only make decisions on behalf of the East African Administrative Region, and I can't guarantee whether you Britain will agree or not." Wei Kun replied.

His Royal Highness frowned, "You can't take the government of the People's Republic of China. ”

"The administrative region of East Africa was not the territory of the Republic of China, nor was it even a colony of the Republic of China. The East African Administrative Region has its own set of systems and institutions. So of course, it is impossible for us to show the attitude of the people. But we can decide on the African strategy of the Minchao. Do you understand this? Wei Kun patiently educated this highness.

Finally, His Highness finally came to his senses. In fact, he also knew that he couldn't decide on Britain's grand strategy at all, just as the second prince Wei Kun couldn't decide China's grand strategy. If Britain went to war with China, the Cape Town colony and the East African administrative region would immediately enter a war situation. But Wei Kun's answer did not disappoint His Royal Highness, even if it was a peace agreement between a Cape Town colony and the East African administrative region, even if these two colonies were not even inferior citizens in the statehood of Britain or the Republic of China, because these two lands were only lowly colonies. However, being able to decide the fate of people in such a humble land is also a pleasure that only those in power can enjoy.

After two days of tinkering, the latest agreement was sent to London. The telegram caused a small shock in London, as the agreement turned out to be signed by two colonies. After an agreement was signed between the Cape Town Colony and the East African Administrative Region, the Cape Town Colony sent a request to the British mainland for their consent.

In a sense, this is arrogance, and this is pure arrogance. Even if the Cape Town colony is important to Britain, even if His Royal Highness has some value to the British royal family, this does not mean that the choice of Britain can be decided in the name of the colony.

"But the other side of the negotiation is with the East African administrative region. If we respond to the British government, or the colonial office, we are also understating our status. After all, the East African administrative region is only a colony. The British Colonial Office came out and said something supportive.

On the contrary, these words made the old men of the cabinet feel unhappy, and they simply went directly to the cabinet minister to complain. And gossip about His Royal Highness began to become popular in the upper circles. It's a universal way around the world to get it stinky first.

'His Highness XX used to be a womanizer, I heard that he ......'

"His Royal Highness XX used to do xxxxx, and now he actually pretends to be serious and starts ooooooooo. Isn't that a big joke? ”

"It is nonsense to use inferior colonies in turn to point fingers at the natives. And to put forward this view, His Royal Highness is a xx fetish, an oo criminal, and is well known as xxoo. We have to obey such blind commands. Can you accept it?! ”

When the words finally reached the ears of the 72-year-old Empress Victoria of India, it had become a fierce struggle with a very strong attitude. As long as the conservative position is concerned, this is a politically unreasonable bastard proposal made by a morally inferior scumbag.

There are also those who support this proposal, such as Lloyd, a Liberal member of the Liberal Party who was only elected to the House of Commons in 1890. George unequivocally supported this proposal, and expressed his support for the establishment of a security conference mechanism with China with his long-standing position of peace, and even hoped that a world-wide security conference could be established to resolve the increasingly fierce conflicts in the world through peace negotiations.

The attack on both sides was so fierce that when the Indian Empress heard the news, someone actually spread Lloyd everywhere?? George wears women's clothes most of the time when he's at home. There are also people who claim that Lloyd's?? George is actually a regular visitor to the 'Whiplash Pavilions' all over London.

Victoria, the Empress of India, knew what the House of Whiplash was for, and Britain's post-industrialized culture had a strong cultural tendency towards discipline and asceticism. There is no lack of excesses in any cultural tendency, so whiplash becomes a means of overcoming restlessness. And this gadget, combined with the traditional corporal punishment of the English aristocracy and other similar gadgets, became fashionable. Not only gave birth to a special commercial organization, but also gave birth to a large number of whipped enthusiasts, just like the big smoke.

At the thought of the damp and dim streets of London at night, lit by the dim gaslights, a horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of a hidden door in a certain alley, and then the door opened a little narrower. The faint crackling of the whip, the scolding, and the groans of joy pierced through. And Lloyd's?? George stepped out of the carriage dressed as a woman and flashed through the door. Then the door ...... It's closed.

The Empress of India felt a heat grow in her chest, and this heat rushed to her brain. Then the painting was furious. There are a lot of messy things in the core of power in the royal officialdom, and the Indian queen has long known it. However, a lot of messy things have been deliberately created to achieve unspeakable purposes, just like this one.

After two years of war, the 300,000 British Expeditionary Force had already spent about 100 million pounds on military spending, and the end of the war was still far away. The Conservatives are frowning at this. However, such a solution proposed by His Royal Highness of the United Kingdom, although it seems that there are many inappropriate places, really has a chance to solve the war in southern Africa. So the first reaction of the Conservatives was to attack them en masse.

The Empress of India was born in 1819 and was 72 years old in 1891. This war, which cost a lot of money and has an unknown ending, has made the old lady feel like she can't sleep at night. Now every 1 pound contains 7.32238 grams of pure gold, and the military expenditure of 100 million pounds is more than 730 tons of gold. Of course, Britain would not have actually moved out gold to pay for the war, but this money really put the old lady into a situation where she could not sleep.

"Who made this brazen rumor! We can't allow that to happen! The Empress of India expressed her attitude in an angry, trembling voice.
