The foreign minister looked at Salisbury helplessly, everything was messed up by this stupid prime minister, and now he knows that he regrets it. ♀ 【Start】-

Landsdoorn said: "Mr. Prime Minister, now it is only me and the Minister of the Navy to come forward, you really should not come forward again, then there will be no room for maneuver, tonight, I will go with the Navy Fisher to meet the Chinese Tigers, now we are already under pressure from the business community, once the negotiations break down, Mr. Prime Minister, you can imagine the anger of those consortiums." ”

Salisbury shuddered in his heart, yes, those consortiums that control the House of Commons will definitely question themselves, and when the time comes, it will be too big a blow to their prestige, and there will be another year, which is the time of the general election, if there is something that makes him lose face now, then there is no need to think about re-election, and the Conservative Party behind him will definitely not support his re-election, and his power and glory will be far away from him.

"No, we must not allow such a thing to happen!" Salisbury roared angrily in his heart, and said: "Landsdowne, then I will bother you and General Fisher, no matter what, we must win the Chinese Tiger, even if we pay a lot of money, we must reach an agreement, otherwise, our party will face great uncertainties in next year's general election!" ”

Lansdown sighed and said, "Prime Minister, I will do my best to let Fisher follow me in this matter, just to help me at a critical time, after all, the warship 'trade' needs the support of the Admiralty." ()”

Salisbury did not hesitate and said, "Okay, Lansdowne, I ask Fisher to cooperate with you fully, and it must be foolproof!" ”

When they were in a hurry here, these officials of the Qing Dynasty were not in a hurry, coming out of Buckingham Palace, Xue Fucheng was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and complained to Zhang Yi repeatedly: "Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang, you are too reckless, the negotiation of foreign 'diplomacy' pays attention to strategy and skills, you need to fold the bottle and rush it, flexible and flexible, how can you be in place like this, directly 'make' the situation 'stiff', you come out, I am afraid that the negotiation will be difficult to carry out in the future, we have no room for maneuver!" ”

Zhang Yi sneered and said: "Minister Xue, you must know that the manly man has done something and not done, no one can give up the interests of the country at will, especially the dignity of the country cannot be trampled on, what we Chinese lack now is a tough guy who can 'straighten' his waist and fight against the great powers!" I, Zhang Yi, will never take the interests of the people of the country as child's play, even if Britain does not sell it, then we can still go to Germany and the United States, even if we don't have a navy, I can still send Japan and Germany back to my hometown! Wait, the British came back to beg us, it was they who wanted to enter the market in Mukden, not that I had to buy their warships and see who couldn't hold their breath! ”

Xue Fucheng said: "However, Lord Zhang, foreign 'diplomacy' is based on strength, the country does not have a strong strength to support, there is no foreign 'diplomacy' at all, now we are already facing the threat of war between Japan and Russia, if Britain strikes again, we have no chance of winning at all, and then we may face war and reparations, and our losses will be greater!" ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Minister Xue, it's not as serious as you said, it doesn't matter, if Britain wants to come forward strongly, then I will encourage Germany to send troops, I want to see if the British have the courage to launch a full-scale war, China is no longer the China of fifty years ago!" It's time for the day when two warships will be dispatched to bring China to its knees! ”

Xue Fucheng saw that the matter had come to this point, and there was no good way, so he said tentatively: "Lord Zhang, why don't you let me contact the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs again to see if there is any possibility of negotiation?" ”

Zhang Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, Minister Xue, you are not old, don't be anxious, this official knows in his heart, you have come forward, we will completely lose the initiative!" ”

Xue Fucheng saw that Zhang Yi insisted, so he had to give up and returned to the legation unhappy. ♀

In the evening, after dinner, Xue Fucheng and Zhang Yi had just sat down and were about to chat for a while, when the guard outside the 'door' ran in and said, "Two adults, British Foreign Minister Lansdowne and Admiral Fisher are here, asking to meet the two adults, you can see ......"

Xue Fucheng stood up from the chair in pain, the British really took the initiative to come to the 'door', this Lord Zhang is simply amazing!

Zhang Yi was still sitting quietly, and said with a smile: "Minister Xue, don't be impatient, calm down, let's go, let's go pick up the two guests, after all, we can't be rude." ”

Xue Fucheng nodded, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows also 'revealed' his joy, as long as the British are willing to take the initiative to go to the 'door', then this matter has been successful.

The two men walked out of the living room and came to the 'door' to greet Lancedownne and Fisher.

Zhang Yi and Xue Fucheng welcomed the two into the living room of the legation, and Zhang Yi smiled indifferently: "Mr. Lansdowne, General Fisher, you two came to visit late at night, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

Landsdoorn said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, during the day today, you and the Prime Minister, it is true that the conversation was not pleasant, but it does not mean that the friendship between our Britain and China will be 'ruined', is it not hidden, I want to have a 'exchange' with Lord Zhang again on the issue of purchasing warships and cooperation between China and Britain, the relationship between the two countries is a major event, China is the oldest power, and Britain is the most powerful country in the world, is there anything more interesting about the relationship between countries in the world than this?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Mr. Foreign Minister, what you said is very reasonable, as myself, I cherish the friendship between China and your country very much, but your country's Prime Minister does not seem to be interested in this issue, this ......"

Landsdoorn replied: "General Zhang, because the Prime Minister has not communicated with us, so this matter was raised quite hastily, after all, you came to England from the United States and only made a sudden decision, so we regret this matter, but you have a saying in China called making amends, it's not too late, isn't it, we have decided to cooperate again, isn't it?" ”

The smile on Lansdoorn's face was Zhang Yi nodding secretly, he was worthy of being the Minister of Foreign Affairs of a big country, neither humble nor arrogant, and he was really very stylish. Zhang Yi said: "Since we are both interested in cooperation, then we can continue the topic of the day, but Mr. Prime Minister's recent unreasonable request, Mr. Landsdowne does not need to talk about it, there is absolutely no possibility in this matter!" Lansdowne's expression was stunned, and he replied: "Well, since neither Germany nor the United States can get such treatment from Mukden, if the British Empire obtains it, it will be a tricky matter, and it will cause dissatisfaction among the two countries, but I still hope that our British goods can be unhindered in Mukden, and our merchants can invest at will, there is no problem with this, right?" ”
