"Your Majesty, it's been a long time, and now China has controlled the whole of Africa, and ninety percent of Asia is not what it used to be. Time really flies. After Ito Hirobumi bowed deeply, he was not much stranger, indeed like an old friend of the Emperor, and then began to talk eloquently, "I remember that when we met for the first time, His Majesty had just turned one year old. His Majesty was not quite able to walk on his own at that time, and wherever he went, he had to be carried by a servant. ”

"Those two are not servants, they are my family's house slaves, and they are now high-ranking officials in Huaguo." Hua Huang smiled, "I remember that at that time, Ito Hirobumi-kun was still a young man, but now he is already middle-aged. Time does pass quickly, ten years have passed, like a white horse. ”

"Your Majesty, the purpose of my visit to you today is to restore the friendship between China and Japan to the past, and Kyushu Island can be ceded to China. As for the part of the war reparations, it is also included in this, Japan is weak and cannot afford a high war reparations, Your Majesty, is this okay? Ito Hirofumi directly offered a price code, without the slightest twist, although the content of the speech was very pitiful, but there was no look of compromise on his face.

Emperor Hua was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Ito Hirofumi to offer such a price, which is difficult for a country to speak, at least in the original history, when Huaxia was at its weakest, it never used the initiative to cede land and pay compensation to seek peace.

Japan is the strongest who is holding whom, and the emperor has now finally realized that the Ito Hirofumi in front of him now, where there is still the arrogance of the past, is completely like a god.

The more natural Ito Hirobumi's attitude was, the more comfortable the emperor felt, as if the competition between them was illusory, and the Japanese had recognized the strong history of China in the past and the status of China from the bottom of their hearts.

"I never thought of conquering Japan by force, it was you who provoked the war without authorization, Korea has been a vassal state of China since ancient times, your arrogance has caused this kind of consequence, I can agree to your request, but I want to add one point, Japan has since become a protectorate of China, diplomatic rights, trade rights belong to China, cede all port cities, and must not have an army of more than 100,000 people, which is the same as other protectorates of China." Huahuang also made his own conditions.

Ito Hirobumi had already guessed that Emperor Hua would say this, hesitated, and did not speak, this is an unacceptable condition, because not only himself, but also the entire Meiji Restoration, the first group of people who 'woken', still have the dream of rising in their hearts, and become the protectorate of China, will be doomed to Japan will always be just a poor and weak island, and will never be able to 'take off' again, but now I think about it. It seems to be a ridiculous thing to take off, Kyushu Island, Ryukyu, Korea, have all been included in the Chinese state, in the face of the powerful Chinese state, where else does Japan extend? Without room for expansion, it would be difficult to be self-sufficient with the scarce resources of Japan's small islands.

"What? Do you want to think about it? I have no intention of persecuting you. Hua Huang smiled indifferently.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's magnanimity, after I go back, I will seriously talk to His Majesty the Emperor, this is a big matter, even His Majesty the Emperor, I can't decide, it involves too much." Ito Hirobumi bowed and said, "So, I personally have no right to reply to Your Majesty. ”

"Don't you say that I have forgotten, if you think about it, there will be no more such title as the emperor, small island, arrogant, don't you think it's ridiculous? Huaguo, including all the protectorates of Huaguo, not to mention princes, that is, dukes, marquises, counts, viscounts, and barons, these titles do not exist, and they can retain the noble status of Meiji, but they no longer have official titles, and they can be called your regional governors. Hua Huang added.

"Understood, Your Majesty." Ito bowed again, "I'm really sorry to disturb Your Majesty." ”

"It doesn't matter." Hua Huang smiled slightly, took the initiative to stand up, and patted Ito Hirobumi on the shoulder, "Politics is politics, I personally admire you, I have always regarded you as a friend, everything before has been turned over!" ”

Ito Hirobumi glanced at His Majesty Emperor Hua in shock, he knew very well that the original plan to assassinate Emperor Hua in Tianjin, Emperor Hua knew very clearly, Emperor Hua said this, that is, to forgive him, the 'culprit', a person can even kill his own culprit, what a kind of bearing.

"Hearing His Majesty say this, Ito Hirobumi felt ashamed and frightened, thank you for Your Majesty's hospitality, I dare not regard Your Majesty as a friend, because, in my heart, Your Majesty is already the greatest person, the person I admire." Ito's eyes were red.

Hua Huang smiled slightly and did not answer.

After Ito Hirobumi left, Princess Katrina Kafu said to Emperor Hua in surprise: "Your Majesty, I really didn't expect that Ito Hirobumi would actually make such a request, and would actually ask to take the initiative to negotiate peace with Huaguo?" ”

"This is within my expectations, because the current Huaguo is strong enough, as long as we don't make mistakes, Huaguo is already the most powerful country in the world in terms of comprehensive national strength!" Emperor Hua proudly said to Princess Katrina Kaf, this is the true words of the Emperor Hua, although compared with the original history, the industrial strength of China has not increased much, but it is more concentrated, for the whole country, the biggest change is the change of the system, from the feudal autocracy, into a constitutional monarchy, the early end of the rule of the Qing court, for the entire China omitted more than half a century of warlord melee and the history of Japanese invasion, that's all, but even if it is just such a little change, It led Huaguo to another path in history.

No matter when, no matter how weak, as long as China is unified and united, even if the feudal agricultural economy has developed an industrial system for one or two hundred years for the great powers, China will show incomparably strong, which is the charm of China's history and the heritage of a great power.

British Prime Minister William Yourt Gladstone and French President François lived in the princess city of Catherine Cafe for more than a month, and there was no progress in the matter.

But by August 1879, the Chinese dollar was already circulating throughout the continent of Asia and Africa.

After the King and Prime Minister of Spain and the King and Prime Minister of the Netherlands visited Princess Catherine Kaf, China bought Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines for 10 million and 15 million Chinese dollars respectively.

It was not Spain and the Netherlands who knew each other in general, but a business, and in this era, buying and selling colonies was indeed like buying goods, and this was how Alaska went from the hands of Tsarist Russia to the hands of the Americans.

After the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1853, Russia, fearing that the Alaska colony would be taken away by the British, proposed to sell Alaska to the United States, and the two sides closed for $7.2 million in April 1867.

In this era, the Chinese dollar is worth more than the dollar, 10 million Chinese dollars, equivalent to more than 80 million US dollars, if the Chinese army seizes it by force, the military expenditure does not need to be so much, but the Chinese emperor still chose to buy.

Mastering the Suez Canal also made Spain and the Netherlands dare not wrestle with the powerful China on the edge of China, which is a smart move, otherwise they will have to follow in the footsteps of Britain and France.

These two deals also brought the weak Spain and the Netherlands back into the bloc of great powers, pulling the situation in Europe more evenly.

If the great powers are the first world, the second strongest is the second world, and the other poor and weak countries are the third world, with the rapid rise of China, the third world is no longer bothered by war, and China has become the judge of the whole world, bringing peace to the whole world.

"This year's Ministry of Finance plans to print 100 billion Chinese yuan, which will be distributed in batches according to the consumption of the market." Princess Katrina Kaaf said to the Chinese Emperor.

"Hehe, you and Catherine, He Daoming and they can just talk about this, you don't need to tell me in such detail." Hua Huang patted his head. "Just one, to ensure the rapid development of China, to ensure the rapid development of industry and roads, and to accelerate the completion of the comprehensive food and clothing of China."

Princess Katrina Kafu smiled and said, "Then I also want to tell Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are we going to increase our military spending this year?" ”

"No, steady development is fine, I predict that there will be no more battles in the future, the main thing is quality, mechanization of the whole army, and the development of the navy and air force. If the European and American powers want to play an arms race with us, we will increase our military spending. Hua Huang said indifferently, he never had the idea of unifying the whole world by force, and his force was used to create peace for the world.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Princess Katrina Kaaf smiled.

Hua Huang is not only willing to spend money, but also attaches importance to propaganda, spreads his ideas, speaks to the Huacui Evening News, speaks to reporters from various countries, every step taken by China today has only one purpose, to become strong and peaceful, so that the Chinese mainland will no longer be threatened, and become the defender of world peace.

After another month, news came from the Japanese side, the Japanese were fully evacuated from Kyushu Island, and they took the initiative to evacuate, including Saigo Takamori, Saigo Takamori was completely tired of being played by the Chinese Emperor, for the sake of Japan's interests, he took the initiative to bow to the Meiji government after a long talk with Ito Hirobumi, and the result of the compromise between the two sides was to reserve certain privileges for the samurai class, however, these have nothing to do with the overall situation, the main thing is that all parties realize the strength of China, and the enemy of China will make Japan destroy itself.

Ito Hirobumi and Meiji, as well as a group of ministers, went to Nagasaki to hold talks with Li Hongzhang and agreed to all the conditions put forward by the Chinese Emperor, and Japan was willing to be a protectorate of China.

When the news came, the reaction of the whole country in China was very flat, and everyone thought that this was a matter of course and going with the flow, but the countries of Europe and the United States were shocked again, and there was no military strength, and one country took the initiative to attach itself to another country, which was unprecedented.

With the completion of the comprehensive protection of Asia and Africa, the Chinese state was unprecedented, and even the most powerful Tang and Ming in history did not have the current international status.

British Prime Minister William Yourt Gladstone and French President François can't sit still, the most important thing is that even if China is completely isolated from the outside world, it can create more output value just by relying on its own region, because the population actually controlled by China has exceeded 3 billion, far more than the regions outside China in this era, and the regions outside China combined, less than 500 million, this economic volume, anyone can calculate this account.

British Prime Minister William Yourt Gladstone scolded his predecessor Benjamin Disraeli to death, and said to French President François: "Look at how people are developing? The most barren areas were taken, but when these places were combined, now we know how terrible it is, so many people, each person consumes 1 Chinese yuan, and the consumption level is more than 3 billion Chinese dollars a day, who can catch up? ”

French President François smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about this, hurry up and deal with the aftermath, if you can't talk about it again, I won't care about you, France and China actually don't have much conflict, we can make a little concession." ”

"You don't use overseas colonies, what China wants is our Canada and Australia, can the situation be the same?" British Prime Minister William Eurt Gladstone said helplessly, "The Dutch and Spaniards sold their colonies, which is a big problem for us in Britain." ”

French President François nodded and said: "When it comes to the world market, if China really wants to develop, it is true that there are still too many conflicts with you and Britain, but it is a pity to let it go like this, I can understand you." However, I think you will not be able to hold Australia sooner or later, now there is nothing, it is better to let go as soon as possible, and you can exchange a sum of money, moreover, Australia is divided, they are all free immigrants, you Britain has never gotten money in Australia, Australia is just a better face for you, in my opinion, sooner or later you will have to lose, even if you don't lose it, it will be a situation where they will go out independently in the future. As for Canada, let's drag it out for now. ”

British Prime Minister William Euult Gladstone listened to François's words and agreed, "The truth is this, but it ...... Who wants to be this historical sinner? ”

"Then you can discuss it with the country again, if it really doesn't work, let's replace it." French President François sighed and said, "I won't tell you more, I have already thought about it, and I will reach an agreement with Zeng Jize today to end this situation as soon as possible. ”

British Prime Minister William Yourt Gladstone frowned, stood up and shook François's hand, "Okay." Good luck to us. ”

The whole world of the great powers is now plagued by the worst economic crisis of time, especially after China covered Asia and Africa, which has been further deepened, with a large amount of industrial surplus products of the great powers nowhere to consume, and unemployed workers all over the streets.
