While Hu Zhen, Da Geo, and Di Gabu were at the night banquet discussing how to divide up the world, there were also people in distant England who couldn't sleep for several days and nights in a row who were suffering from headaches about the Qing court in the Far East being "annexed" by the Huaxia Guild.

This man was Archibald Philip Primrose (5th Earlof Rosebery), the current Prime Minister of the English Empire and leader of the Liberal Party, and the 5th Earl of Rosebury.

Primrose, a descendant of the aristocracy, is an out-and-out inspirational brother, and when he was young, he made three vows, first in horse racing, marrying a famous lady and becoming prime minister, and he did all of them:

The young racehorse was defeated again and again, but in the end he did win the first place once; and Hannah, the daughter of the famous Rothschild family of the Jews, entered the marriage hall, and the family's wealth skyrocketed tenfold, for which he had to marry once but had two weddings, one Christian and one Jewish; With his outstanding oratory, he was inaugurated as Prime Minister of the British Empire on 5 August 18953.

Primrose showed hysteria at work, and even Queen Victoria was shocked by the speeches he made: "These speeches are radical. It's a pity that no one can stop him in the world. ”

However, after Primrose became prime minister, he found that it was not so fun, he was depressed, insomnia, unable to sleep almost every night late at night, more and more doubting whether he had chosen the wrong choice for a political career, and more and more wanted to go back to being a collector.

Receiving the information from the Far East, Primros was furious and ordered the Admiralty to immediately send a fleet to the Far East and send a large army from the Indian colonies to extinguish the Chinese army in one fell swoop.

But the Admiralty's reply to him was very cruel: after war games, it was not enough to dispatch one-third of the fleet of the British Empire, at least more than half of the fleet had to be mobilized, and it would take three months to drive to the Far East to defeat the Chinese fleet, and that would only be a crushing victory, and the warships of the English fleet participating in the war would be reduced by sixty to eighty percent.

In order to prove that the Huaxia Army fleet was really powerful, the Admiralty pointed out a secret of Salisbury's deal with the Huaxia Army: The secret technology that the British fleet is using now -- radio technology and artillery command instruments -- came from the Huaxia Army, and the Huaxia Army did not know what secrets were hidden from the British Navy, and if this was the case, I am afraid that the British Fleet would be completely wiped out in the Far East.

Such an unexpected result, but not being able to fight but not being able to watch the Far East rise to a superpower that threatens the British Empire's global control, made Primroth almost go crazy, and made him feel more and more that it was not interesting to be the prime minister.

However, he has only been the prime minister for a few months, and on the surface he has always been very tough, and Uganda in Africa was done when he took over as foreign minister, and he can't just leave like that, he has to do something to deal with the situation in the Far East.

After meditating on the globe countless times, Primrose just couldn't figure out how to do it.

It didn't take long for a ship to finally approach the Wa State and bring back the information of the Wa State that had been blockaded by the Huaxia Army, and at this time, the great powers of the entire European countries found that in the past six months, all the telegrams they received were problematic, and the Wa State could no longer support it under the bombardment of the Hua Xia Army day and night, and I don't know what happened, all the telegrams sent back by the envoys stationed in the Wa State were manipulated and misled to mislead the countries to still use wrong information.

This made Primroth even more miserable, and he finally had to go back to his office, fiddling with the globe, and continuing his depressive and painful career as prime minister.

After pondering for an unknown amount of time, the clever Primrose and his team finally came up with a seemingly brilliant solution:

Try to channel the huge military power of the Oros Empire, which is ready to move in Europe, to the East, so that the Oros Empire, the French Republic, the German Empire and the Chinese Empire, which have a major interest in the Far East Pacific, will die in the Far East Pacific, and the British Empire will benefit from it!

This is a purely diplomatic maneuver played by the British Empire, but it is easier said than done.

However, Primrose's first job as a foreign minister was under Prime Minister William Yurt Gladstone, and he had good experience and attainments in diplomatic work.

Primros immediately summoned Kossovsky, the ambassador of the Goros Empire in London, and said to Kossovsky: "The British Empire has always been committed to maintaining peace and stability in the Far East, and now the situation in the Far East is worrying. ”

Kossovsky did not know what the Prime Minister of the British Empire thought, so he simply asked directly: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what does your country think about the situation in the Far East?" ”

Primros thought to himself, this Kossovsky was refreshing enough, so he didn't hide it, and directly put it forward: "First, the Japanese state must be maintained, second, the Chinese Empire cannot be allowed to go on like this, otherwise the entire Pacific region will become the sphere of influence of the Chinese Empire, and third, the British Empire and the Oros Empire should immediately unite to ensure that the interests in the Far East are not infringed upon by the Chinese Empire!" ”

"Okay, I'll report it to our government immediately!" Kossovsky felt that there was no need to wait, and immediately took his leave and went to Moscow to send a telegram.

Primroth felt that this Oros alone was not enough, and he summoned the ambassadors of the French Republic and the German Empire to London, which had great interests in the Far East, and proposed to them that in order to ensure the interests of all countries, European countries should immediately unite and exert pressure on the newly established Chinese Empire.

Among them, the ambassador of the French Republic agreed with the interests of the colony of Annam in the south of the Chinese Empire, and immediately sent a telegram to Paris, suggesting that it unite with the English Empire, just like the capital that entered the Qing court 34 years ago and burned the Royal Old Summer Palace, and once again unite with the English to send troops to contain the Chinese Empire and maintain peace and stability in the Far East.

The German Empire is a country that proposes "****", and its ambassador seems to be very resolute, saying on the spot that he will also join forces with England to maintain the world peace order and share the interests of the Far East and the Pacific.

Primroth was very wary of the phrase "sharing the interests of the Far East Pacific", but he did not want to break the harmonious atmosphere to jointly deal with the Chinese Empire in the Far East, so he had to send the German ambassador away after a few perfunctory words.

It is not known whether this diplomatic method will be effective, but he must first make a sufficient gesture before he can lure others to take the bait, Primroth ordered the navy to send a fleet to the Far East Pacific, and invited Oros, France, and Germany to jointly hold military exercises in the Strait of Malacca in the Far East to deter the Chinese Empire.

Will other countries follow the advice of the English Empire?

Primrose had to wait. (To be continued.) )
