With the English financial markets on the verge of collapse, Xue Fucheng, the head of the Chinese Empire's negotiating delegation, knew that the negotiations were nearing completion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sure enough, the Earl of Rosebury finally reached an agreement with Xue Fucheng:

First, all the interests of the Far East and Pacific of the British Empire, including all the concessions signed by the former Qing court, such as Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong, were returned to the Chinese Empire.

Second, all the interests of the former English Empire in the Far East and South Pacific, including all the colonies, were ceded to the Chinese Empire.

Third, the former British colonies of Miandian, the Malay Peninsula, the Andaman Islands, and the islands controlled by the former British Empire in the central Indian Ocean were all ceded to the Chinese Empire.

Fourth, all British troops in Australia immediately ceased resistance and handed over to the troops of the Chinese Empire.

Fifth, the English Empire recognized the interests of the Chinese Empire in controlling the Goryeo Peninsula, the Wa Islands, and the Xianbei (Siberia).

Sixth, the British Empire paid 600 million pounds in military compensation to the Chinese Empire, the first delivery of 300 million pounds, and the rest was delivered in three years, and the Chinese Empire released 270,000 British prisoners in three years.

Seventh, from the date of ratification of the treaty by the two supreme authorities, the two sides cease hostile military operations and return to their respective defensive positions.

Because of this last article, the two sides quarreled for a day, and Roseberry insisted that from the date of signing the treaty, the two sides immediately ceased the state of war, and the Chinese Imperial army returned to the territory specified in the treaty.

But Xue Fucheng scoffed at this, insisting that he would wait for the approval of the legislatures and supreme authorities of the two countries before the troops could be withdrawn.

Roseberry could agree to anything, but he could hardly agree to this one, because the economic situation of the British Empire could no longer afford to wait, and if it dragged on, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But Xue would rather the negotiations break down than stick to his opinion.

"Do you want to ask Your Majesty the Great Emperor?" Roseberry was once again enraged, and said a word without hesitation.

Xue Fuguo was furious, slapped the table, and said heavily: "Since our emperor has authorized me to be the negotiator with full powers, my opinion is the opinion of our emperor, and there is no need to waste any more time!" If no consensus is reached, then I will declare that the negotiations have broken down! ”

Xue Fucheng flicked his sleeves fiercely and was about to walk out.

"Oh well! So an agreement was reached, I signed the treaty! ”

Roseberry was helpless about this, he knew that if Xue Fucheng walked out of here, the negotiations would start again, and it would be a protracted and painful process, and if the Huaxia Empire insisted on this article, it would just be a waste of his own time, so he had to agree to this last one.

"Are you sure you want to sign the treaty right away?" Xue Fucheng turned his head and stared at Rosebury fiercely.

"Yes, don't you Chinese people have a saying that a gentleman is hard to chase?"

In order to negotiate with the Chinese Empire, Roseberry really put a lot of effort into understanding the Chinese civilization.

"Good!" Xue Fucheng nodded, but then changed his words and said: "Five minutes have passed for today's negotiations, please ask Mr. Prime Minister to sign tomorrow!" ”

It almost made Rosebury vomit blood on the spot, but he had to do it.

The next morning, Roseberry arrived on the Jiangshan freighter an hour early, but Xue Fucheng still arrived on time unhurriedly.

When the time for negotiations began, he asked slowly: "Mr. Prime Minister, has there been any change in the consensus we have reached?" ”

"Nothing has changed!" Roseberry replied in the affirmative.

"Good! Let's have the English and Chinese texts drafted! Xue Fucheng picked up the teacup, intending to take a break and wait for the text to be drafted.

Roseberry said, "No, we have already drafted the bilingual text, and we will ask your representative to review it." ”

"Ahh After Xue Fucheng heard this, he felt that he was still too soft-hearted, this English was going crazy, if he stuck it again, maybe he could bite a piece of meat from the British Empire.

But now, it's too late for Xue Fucheng to regret it, the most important thing is that he is worried about the change, and the Huaxia Empire has obtained unprecedented benefits from the hands of the world's strongest English Empire, and the most important thing now is to consolidate this interest.

Thinking of this, Xue Fucheng began to review the draft of the treaty.

He was amazed to find that not only did the manuscript written by the English people have no mistakes, but also the Chinese calligraphy was written in a decent manner, and he definitely could get his hands on it, and he did not know where to find the text written by the reputation of the Chinese language.

It turned out that in order to save time, after returning yesterday, Rosebury had written a bilingual text, and had negotiated with Salisbury to reach an agreement to sign a treaty on this condition.

Looking at Xue Fucheng, who was frowning, Roseberry asked proudly, "How?" Are there any errors or omissions in the draft of the treaty? ”

"No more!"

Xue Fucheng's soft words made Roseberry sound as if it were a voice of heaven, and then asked urgently: "Then you can sign it, right?" ”

"That's it!"

This sentence relieved all the English people present: the British Empire was finally saved!

However, after the news of the signing of the traitorous treaty between the English Empire and the Chinese Empire came out, many English people were angry: When did the British Empire suffer such humiliation? When did you betray the interests of the empire like this?

Angry crowds poured into the streets, rushed to the Prime Minister's Office, chanting slogans to bring down the traitor Roseberry, and surrounded the Prime Minister's Office, demanding an immediate end to the traitorous treaty with the Chinese Empire!

Roseberry knew that if he really stopped the treaty with the Chinese Empire, it would make the British Empire never able to turn over, so he ignored the brainless people, and insisted on sending the treaty to the House of Commons for review.

In the face of the surging tide of opposition, many members of the House of Commons disagreed with each other, and they were really reluctant, but Salisbury personally stepped in and went to work with the members of the House of Commons, explaining that if they did not pass this treaty, the British Empire would be in danger of never recovering.

Finally, with the Conservatives and Liberals joining forces, both the House of Commons passed a funeral treaty in which the British Empire sold its interests to the Chinese Empire.

Salisbury's statement is that it is necessary to endure humiliation and bear the burden, and it will take ten years or more to re-rise in the world, defeat the Chinese Empire, and regain the glory of the Empire, but no one knows that this is only the beginning of the loss of power and humiliation of the English Empire, and such traitorous treaties to the Chinese Empire will be made one after another in the future.

The balance of the world situation tilted in favor of the Chinese Empire could no longer return to the past. (To be continued.) )
