A two-wheeled carriage stopped outside the door, and Hu Yaji and Tang Jingsong got out of the carriage and walked into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building together.

"The United States of America is arrogant and unreasonable, ignoring the wishes of the South American countries, forcibly interfering in the affairs of South America, and the naked hegemonic behavior of the US government is a serious undermine to peace in the Americas!

As a member of the Americas, the Han Kingdom was willing to join hands with the British Empire to resolutely oppose the US government's intervention and destruction of the existing order in South America. ”

On behalf of the Han government, Hu Yaji solemnly stated his own diplomatic stance.

"The Han State is an important power in the Americas, and the British Empire, as the defender of the civilized world order, is very willing to establish close diplomatic ties with the Han government, work together to maintain the hard-won peace situation in South America, and promote economic and cultural exchanges among South American countries."

The British minister, Yarman, got the result he wanted, and the initial anxiety caused by the long wait suddenly disappeared.

"On the American continent, the British Empire and the Han Empire have the same economic interests, and strengthening economic cooperation between the two countries is in line with the common will of the two peoples, therefore, in order to promote international commercial exchanges between the countries of South America, the Imperial Government hopes that your country will make greater efforts to lift the restrictions on the capital of the British Empire in the economic field of the Han Empire, and to allow imperial merchant ships to enter the inland basin of the Paraná River for commercial activities in a more open and equal manner."

"Business exchanges and cooperation based on the principle of equality and mutual benefit can last for a long time, and the Great Han Kingdom has always had a positive attitude towards foreign capital entering the local investment, and the entry of British capital into the local area is also something that the government is happy to see, but, with all due respect, in terms of economic cooperation, the British Empire did not give the Great Han Kingdom its due treatment and status."

Hu Yaji retorted softly and continued: "After the end of the Argentine dispute, in order to take care of the interests of the British Empire, our government has properly protected your country's assets in Argentina, Uruguay and other regions, and for the railway restructuring plan, our side has fully considered the actual situation of your country's capital, abandoned the plan of comprehensive nationalization, and instead chose the state-owned and private mixed joint-stock system, leaving 49% of the capital to private capital, including your businessmen. The government retains only 51 percent of the shares, as well as the right to operate and maintain it.

However, in the face of our goodwill moves, your government did not make a positive response, and in the Falklands, Paraguay, the purchase of ships, the dispatch of overseas students, and the introduction of industrial technology, your government did not take into account the feelings of our government and the people, and not only set up more obstacles in the fields of sending foreign students, introducing industrial technology, and purchasing ships, but also forcibly rejected our reasonable demands in terms of sovereignty over the Falklands and changes in the situation in Paraguay.

If your government fails to face up to the legitimate rights and interests of our government, it will be difficult to implement the so-called expansion of economic cooperation between the two countries and a closer response to the expansion of the United States in South America. ”

"In order to show its sincerity in strengthening and deepening cooperation between the two sides, the Imperial Government is willing to respect the reasonable interests of the Han Kingdom in the Kingdom of Paraguay, and is also willing to make substantial concessions in the fields of international students and the introduction of industrial technology, but on the issue of sovereignty over the Falklands, the Empire has absolutely legal and reasonable basis to determine that the Falklands belong to the British Empire.

As early as 1592, John Davis, an English navigator aboard the Desire, discovered the Malvinas Islands and was the first person to land on the Malvinas.

In 1765, the Empire established its first human settlement in the Malvinas Islands, which, although destroyed by the Spaniards in 1770, was restored in 1771 and restored its outpost on West Falkland.

In 1774 the Empire withdrew from the Malvinas for economic reasons, but did not relinquish its claim to the islands.

At the beginning of 1833, the empire expelled Argentine immigrants who illegally occupied the Falklands, and reinstated local administration.

In 1841, the empire sent several civilian officials from the mainland to the island to establish an administrative structure.

Today, the Empire has been under sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands for nearly 300 years, and the island's more than 2,000 settlers are all Empire nationals.

There is no legal basis for your Government to claim sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands to the Empire, citing the example of Argentina's illegal occupation of the Malvinas Islands! ”

British Minister Yarman outlined the basis for British sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, and made no concessions.

"The Malvinas Islands have been ruled by your country, France, Spain and Argentina, and because of historical reasons, the issue of sovereignty is complicated, and my government is willing to respect your country's interests, set aside the sovereignty dispute over the Falklands, and recognize the fact that your country actually rules the Malvinas Islands.

Instead of dwelling on the British minister over sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, Huyaki refocused his conversation on the issue of economic cooperation between the two countries.

"Of course, closer economic cooperation and exchanges between Britain and China are very wide-ranging, and it is unlikely that the two countries will be equally satisfied with the results in a short period of time."

British Minister Yarman responded: "Out of respect for your country, the British Empire will make concessions that will accommodate your country's interests, and at the same time, the Empire hopes that your country will forget about previous misunderstandings and make decisions that are beneficial to both sides." ”

"For friends, Dahan has always been generous and welcoming, please rest assured."

Hu Yaki smiled and shook Yarman's hand, and replied positively. …………

In order to set up a roadblock opponent for the Americans and safeguard the interests of British capital in South America, the British relaxed restrictions on the Han State in South America and made concessions in some aspects that had nothing to do with their core interests.

On January 17, 1889, Britain and China signed an agreement aimed at jointly containing the United States.

The main contents of the agreement are:

First, in terms of ship purchases, dispatch of foreign students, and the introduction of industrial technology, Britain lifted restrictions on the Han State and gave the Han State the same authority and status as Dongying (as early as before the First Sino-Japanese War, Britain began to support Dongying. ）

2. Britain recognized the rights and interests of the Han State in the Kingdom of Paraguay and allowed the Han government to take necessary protective measures when its interests were damaged.

Third, the sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas Islands was shelved, and Han recognized the reality of British control over the islands.

The Four Han States pledged to increase cooperation with Britain in the fields of railways, finance, agriculture, animal husbandry, chemicals, and electrical fields, and allowed Britain to set up four foreign-funded banks in the country. ）

The Han side pledged to strengthen the administration of public security in the Paraná and Paraguay river basins and to expand the authority of British merchant ships to navigate freely on the two major rivers. …………

The next day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China issued a statement directly stating the intention of the US government to hold the International Conference of the Americas and exposing the conspiracy of the United States to economically exploit the countries of South America through capital transfer! He called on the countries of South America to recognize the true face of the United States and reject the International Conference of the Americas in Washington, D.C.

Echoing the Han Foreign Ministry, the British government also issued a clear statement on January 20, bluntly opposing US intervention in South American affairs.

Influenced by the attitude of the British,

Chile and the Republic of Brazil were the first to withdraw from the International Conference of the Americas, and a few days later, Peru, Eldogua and other countries also expressed their euphemistic rejection.

The countries that were willing to participate in the conference were only a small Central American country and two South American countries, Venezuela and Colombia, which were frustrated, and the first application for the International Conference of the Americas was finally canceled by the U.S. government because of the insufficient number of participating countries.
