"On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen and Whitehall, I thank you for your support."

As for Liu Chang's promise, Shakli felt that this was one of the biggest gains in his more than one-year career as ambassador, so he quickly and tentatively mentioned the Russian issue of domestic concern: "But I must explain that if your country sends troops to intervene, I am afraid that the war against Russia will not be sustainable, right?" I think the Yaksa Treaty is a reasonable dividing line. ”

Liu Chang also said very happily: "That's right, the Yaksa Treaty is a reasonable national boundary, but it is based on the condition of equal strength, is the current Russian Empire still qualified for this?" He can't even keep Ukraine now, let alone the Urals, you should know that now news reports about the war against Russia can't even make the headlines of the newspapers Chapter 581 When We Rule the World (Finale) section. ”

That's right, the war against Russia has become a silent war, after receiving the aid of new equipment, the Chinese spend only millions of silver yuan every month, but each time they can always concentrate more troops to give the Russians a devastating blow, just like the later Tubo war against Tang, if the Tang Dynasty concentrates all its resources, it is very likely to give Tubo a fatal blow, but in history, the Tang Dynasty can only be beaten passively step by step, step by step to lose the sacred territory.

Now the Russian Empire is also completely passive in the East, after losing the support of their own resources, they can't even buy a barrel of gunpowder, not to mention that the entire coast has been blocked by the Chinese, and many border peoples who were once conquered by Russia have now become lackeys of the Chinese, and they have vented on the Russians with the repression of the past few hundred years.

But His Excellency Hackley still felt that maintaining the balance of power was a necessary task for the British: "If the Russians retreat to the Ural Mountains, the situation in the whole East, especially in the Middle and Far East, will be in a state of banditry. ”

"That's the 581st question that your country should fill in the blank when we rule the world (finale)." Liu Chang smiled and said: "All my interest is in the Ural Mountains, this is my last territorial claim, I have no interest in the more distant frontiers, just as your country has no interest in Afghanistan......"

This is just a blatant lie, just as Britain has no interest in Afghanistan. Liu Chang was also interested in the more distant frontiers, for example, after the collapse of Russian rule, Liu Chang had already set his next focus on several khanates, including the Kokand Khanate in Central Asia. It's just that now that the country's strength is limited, it's not yet time for a big march of troops - it's better to wait until after the British intervened in the American Civil War.

"But our country still hopes that the existing strategic balance of power will not be broken." Shackley repeated his statement.

"So are you not interested in projects such as the Beijing-Feng Railway, Harbin-Dalian Railway, and Jiangbei Railway?" Liu Chang suddenly changed the topic: "This is a project with an investment of tens of millions of pounds......"

In the past negotiations, Liu Chang has never shown any signs of relenting on these railway projects outside the Guan, and he is even unwilling to give these projects to the French who have always cooperated happily, repeatedly claiming that these projects are military-related projects, so the implementation of the project is handed over to a railway soldier with a professional level.

This is a super project of tens of millions of pounds, tens of millions of pounds, and possibly more than 100 million pounds. It's just that Xia Keli wants more than just the railway outside the Guanwai, he asked: "Is it only about the railway project outside the Guanwai, Jinpu Road, Longhai Road, and Jinghan Road, we are very interested in it......

From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, until the entry into the People's Republic of China, the entire railway construction is basically carried out around the framework of these three railways, and the double line and electrification of the Guangzhou section of Hengyang have not even come to an end until the beginning of the 21st century. It was not until the construction of passenger dedication across the era that it basically jumped out of the framework of these three railways.

And now the competition for these three railways has reached a fever pitch, although Hu Linyi's cabinet has always imposed restrictions on railway construction in one way or another. But Liu Chang clearly knows that the explosion of railway construction is coming, and this is a process that no one can stop, not to mention that Liu Chang is now borrowing from abroad.

If it weren't for foreign loans, China really wouldn't be able to afford such a foreign leap forward, you must know that the loan to the United States alone is close to $100 million, but because of the impact of the American civil war, now the Americans have to apply for loans from the Chinese government: "Your Excellency, ambassador, let's discuss the issue of the Kanwai Railway first!" The degree of your country's involvement is closely related to your country's flexibility in the Russian issue. ”

Shakli smiled: "Our country will never accept such extortion. Our position on the whole of Northeast Asia is the same, we have to recognize the territorial integrity of Russia, of course, we can be more flexible, and I believe that Whitehall is also supporting my ......"

Although a lot of diplomatic words are spoken, the key is "a more flexible attitude". Shackley already knew very well that as long as the Chinese took out the railway project outside the border and shared it with the British, then the British government would be very clear in supporting the Chinese government's final territorial issue.

"As long as your country can provide government loans, your country will have a preferential choice on the railway outside the border." Yoo Chang was quick to make such a promise: "...... including North Korea"

This was an additional condition, but Shakli agreed to such an additional condition, and he was very optimistic about the prospects of the Kanwai Railway.

Although there are only a few million people in the entire Guanwai area, the next large-scale migration of Chinese is unstoppable; according to a document he saw, in just last year alone, 97,000 migrants poured into the Guanwai area, and the unstoppable population growth in the Guanwai area will provide multiplied migration, and the migration in the first eight months of this year is said to be the same as that of the whole of last year.

As long as the Chinese maintain their victorious offensive, then the Chinese will fill the vast territory all the way to the Ural Mountains: "I hope that our company will have a controlling stake in the Kansai Railway." ”

"I can give you fifty-one percent of the shares, but I must state that in the cross-road operation, you have to negotiate not only with French companies, but also with state-run highways......

"Agree with you." Shakley, however, considered whether to invest in a few railway companies, which would have a very promising future prospects: "We will have a good cooperation. ”

"It's a pleasure to work with." Liu Chang carefully put forward his own small personal request: "I personally have some small requirements, I don't know if your government can meet my personal requirements." ”

"Say ...... please?"

Liu Chang said with a smile: "You know, I am still young and energetic. So I like some young and beautiful girls!"

For His Majesty the Emperor's straightforwardness, Ambassador Xia Keli smiled and had a hint of jealousy, no matter what, His Majesty the Emperor had a harem of grand scale. Although the size of this harem did not break through the triple digits, it could not be compared with the Ottoman harem that Shakli knew, but it was perhaps the most harmonious harem in the world.

Looking at the young palace concubines who were more than ten meters away, Xia Keli always hoped that he could become such a barbarian king: "Do you have any needs?" We will make every effort to assist. ”

The girl's own will, religion, or everything else is insignificant in the face of such a national will, no matter what kind of woman the Emperor needs, even if it is to turn an English noblewoman into a sex slave of his harem. As a diplomat, we will also provide full assistance.

Liu Chang smiled: "Recently, I want to change my taste, you should also know, in my harem."

It's been years since I've been a newcomer!"

Xia Keli knew that this was not true, although His Majesty the Emperor did not deliberately carry out drafts or similar activities, but there were still sporadic newcomers entering the Emperor's new harem every year, of course, these newcomers entered the palace often for political needs, not the emperor's own wishes. But His Majesty the Emperor always treated his new harem with a generous attitude.

Like the emperor's most recent concubine, the daughter of Du Wenxiu, a Muslim leader in Yunnan, the young girl had the opportunity to command tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield. But after the surrender of the Dali regime, the girl became the best gift for a marriage.

According to the personal circumstances of the Ambassador, the marriage, although not in accordance with the wishes of either of the parties, allowed the empire to conquer the whole of Yunnan without bloodshed, and even extended Chinese influence to Burma, which was of interest to the British.

But Xia Keli also clearly knew that Liu Chang was right, Liu Chang's harem had not increased on a large scale for several years, and if he could take this opportunity to arrange a group of Christians into the harem, then Ambassador Xia Keli could even force a large number of holy nuns to return to the world, but he first had to find out what His Majesty the Emperor wanted to do.

"What kind of beautiful lady do you have a crush on?"

"My harem is already full of beautiful maidens from my Huaxia country. No matter what the area is beautiful lady, even "

"Do you mean foreign beauties? Do you need an Indian teen or a blonde European lady......"

"No, no, no!" Liu Chang said with a smile: "You misunderstood, although due to the needs of the country, I have recruited a new Philippine princess." Even though I'm a Catholic, I still like the oriental touches......"

A few years later, Xia Keli knew that this was definitely the biggest lie Liu Chang had ever told in his life, His Majesty the Emperor had enough fraternity in the harem, and he only asked for one point, that is: "Beautiful enough......"

But now Shakli has not heard the voice of His Majesty the Emperor: "You mean North Korea? ”

"I mean Japan and Burma." Liu Chang said directly: "There are also Thailand and Vietnam, I have a strong interest in the exotic scenery there, of course I have no interest in Indian girls, I hope to get those beautiful girls dancing barefoot on the red carpet ......"

This was a major geopolitical deal, and of course Shackley knew that His Majesty the Emperor did not just want a few beautiful maidens, but he wanted influence in the whole of Northeast and Southeast Asia, especially Burma, where the British had been operating for many years, and he felt a little embarrassed: "This must be consulted by the domestic ......"

"Don't be nervous!" Liu Chang smiled and said: "I just appreciate the beauty of those girls, I don't have any ** for their bodies, if Whitehall is willing, I am willing to give Britain a generous gift." ”

"Speak!"

Shackley understood that "only admiring the beauty of those maidens, and not having anything to do with their bodies" was an outright lie, but he had to listen to His Majesty the Emperor, who was quick to say what interested him: "I have made a wise decision not to challenge the supremacy of the British Empire at sea in any situation, and the navy will always maintain the goal of exclusive defense and coastal defense." ”

This made Shackley shake and almost jump: "What you said is true? ”

Over the past few hundred years, Britain has faced maritime challenges from one powerful nation after another. Netherlands, Spain, France, Russia......

Now that the new eastern powers are willing to abandon their maritime challenges, this is the best news for Britain, which relies on maritime supremacy.

"Our two countries can enter into an alliance agreement, and we can specify tonnage limits for both countries. Let's say, the tonnage of our ships in service is a fraction of that of the Kingdom of England, let's say a third, a quarter, and this is the upper limit, and it cannot exceed ......"

Liu Chang casually said the specific content of the naval treaty: "Of course, the British government also wants to recognize the scope of my hunt for exoticism, and I am going to engage in a Tokyo forty-eight girl." Forty-eight girls in Osaka, forty-eight girls in Myanmar, make my dream come true......"

Shackley felt that this was an acceptable condition for Whitehall: "How long is this naval agreement?" ”

"Permanently!" Liu Chang replied: "As long as I live, I will not challenge the British naval supremacy......"

It was a perfect diplomatic negotiation, and Shackley left satisfied, with Liu Chang's promise, and Liu Chang promised to taste the whole Oriental world as he pleased, and the British had promised him the freedom to act as he pleased.

It's just that when Shakli left, his body was quickly overwhelmed by the fragrance of his daughter's house.

The concubines surrounded Liu Chang like a sea of flowers. They quickly changed into a home nightgown for Liu Chang, and then Xu Yuegui asked, "Your Majesty, you don't really want to accept so many newcomers, right?" ”

This is their biggest concern. Although there has been an increase in new people every year in the past two years, it is just a political marriage, and their favor has not decreased at all, but if the scale of the harem is really expanded like this, their favor will definitely decrease.

Liu Chang replied with a smile: "The clothes are not as good as the new, and the people are not as good as the old...... You'll always be my favorite wings, and besides, as long as you know my whole world......"

"That's right!" Xu Yuegui was relieved, she glanced at the newcomer Du Fengyang, who was a fourteen-year-old girl. Although her appearance and temperament are all the best choices, and she has recently been pampered by Liu Chang twice, only a real old person like her can enter Liu Chang's study, and only more than ten people among the more than 50 concubines can have the opportunity to enter there and carry out unrestrained indulgence with Liu Chang.

The study, which cost hundreds of thousands of silver yuan and even specially laid out the so-called "wires", is the real root of Liu Chang's countless miracles. It is full of endless wisdom and magic, and when watching Liu Chang concentrate on operating the artifact, Xu Xianggui always understands that he is only one step away from God, not to mention that Liu Chang shows many indulgent images in the artifact.

But Xu Xianggui felt more fascinated by the natural expression of the artifact: "When we rule the world......"

She said softly to Liu Chang: "Your Majesty, the era of our world domination is coming...... In the fall of 1863, as a result of British intervention, the two sides of the American Civil War were forever cut off from two countries, and Kane, the first citizen of the United States, established his dictatorship in the chaotic North.

In 1870, the end of the Franco-Prussian War led to the nascent Germany challenging British supremacy at sea, while Italy and Spain remained mired in civil war.

In 1872, the British government, in view of the fact that His Majesty the Emperor Xia had come to an end in the selection of beautiful girls in the whole Eastern world, took the initiative to revise the old Sino-British naval treaty, and China should exert greater influence in the whole world.

A new page has been opened in the history of the hegemony of the East sweeping the world, as Liu Chang said: "When we rule the world......"

ps: I was going to write for another month or two, but my body really couldn't support it, even if I took a lot of blood pressure medications, the whole blood pressure has been maintained at about 100/150, and I have only been slightly relieved by taking betalux recently, and I have always had problems with my eyes, so I can't support it, I can only put an end temporarily, and I didn't complete the expected 2.5 million words, I apologize to you infinitely, let me rest for a month or two, and then weave a beautiful story for you later

Finally, I would like to recommend my wife's book "The Life of an Ordinary Little Civil Servant...... To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )rq！！！
