Chapter 388: Pleading for a factory

Diplomatic warfare is a conspiracy and trickery activity, a game of high intelligence, Luo Yang didn't feel it, but felt that it was very funny, isn't it just a joke?

Luo Yang told the French envoy from the bottom of his heart that he felt that Britain was a maritime country, France was a continental country, and France was the object of China's study, so he believed that protecting France's interests in China was the only way to ensure the interests of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom.

"We, the Kingdom of China, formally invite France to open a factory in China."

"Ahh Madeleine jumped for joy,

In 1860, the Beijing negotiations, the Qing Empire's stay-at-home, plenipotentiary minister Prince Gong, signed the "Beijing Treaty" to Britain and France, and promised a lot of conditions, that is, not to mention the opening of factories, which shows that the Qing government is very vigilant against the emergency invasion of foreign powers, and there is no way to open the goods market, but if you can resist the factory, you must resist.

"Excuse me, are you telling the truth?"

"Really, I can guarantee that with my own personality and national character." Luo Yang said loudly,

"Then, let's negotiate and sign a treaty at once." Madeleine fears it's a dream,

"Okay, but I hope France will keep it a secret." Luo Yang looked serious,

"Why, such a big thing will be made public sooner or later." Madeleine was puzzled,

"Mr. Minister, our friendship with France would be of no interest if it were to be applied to England or any other country." Luo Yang said: "If we sign a treaty, no matter how confidential it is, it will be spread out, do you think Britain can sit idly by, if Britain also uses its strong industrial strength to set up factories, do you think France can compete with Britain?" ”

Madeleine suddenly realized, "What do you mean?" ”

Luo Yang proposed that a memorandum of understanding should be reached between the two countries, but it is absolutely impossible to sign a treaty, let alone let others, especially Britain, know, and the opening of a factory by France in China should also be carried out in the name of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom.

"Why is this happening?" Madelin asked very calmly, in fact, he was extremely vigilant in his heart, he was worried that the bandit leaders in China had just overthrown the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and their banditry did not change, and they were calculating France.

Luo Yang said that the officials of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom were worried that Britain was too strong, and its power in China was too great, and it would completely annex Huaxia in the future, so it was necessary to assist a country and rely on his power to confront Britain and maintain the balance of power in the country.

"We are worried that in the future it will become India."

Madeleine smiled, "Okay, I'll report it back to China immediately." ”

dealt with the French minister, Luo Yang summoned the Russian minister, Britain, France, the United States and Russia, was the most powerful country at that time, and the relationship with China was very close, because other countries, Germany has not yet been unified, Japan is still asleep, Italy is not unified, Lombard and Venice, etc., are still under the rule of many countries, until six years later, with the opportunity of the Franco-Prussian War, Italy marched into Rome and took back the Pope's territory, which can be regarded as stumbling and unified,

For Russia, Luo Yang is a mixed bag, this country, threats and kindness to China coexist, and there are many grievances: "Please." ”

It was very strange that the Russian minister, Duke Dadrov, was summoned by the supreme leader of the country after the campaign to present his credentials, before there was any negotiation.

Because Russia had just suffered heavy losses in the Crimean War eight years ago, Russia's 700,000 troops were annihilated, 300,000 killed, hundreds of thousands wounded, a total of 700,000, so, the international status plummeted, although in the northeast and northwest of China, taking advantage of the fire to rob, reaping a lot of benefits, but, strictly speaking, Russia is taking advantage of the fire to rob, did not use more troops, complaining can only complain that the Manchu Qing is too incompetent, don't complain about others bullying you, if the Manchu army is really strong, it is estimated that you are conditional to bully Russia instead,

"May I ask Your Majesty the Venerable King Rui, what do you have to say when you summon the contemptible people?" The Russian minister was quite civilized and polite,

"I would like to ask, what do you think about the revision of the treaty between the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom and the United States." And he told the story,

"I think this is a matter for the two of you, and you need to negotiate and resolve it yourself." Dadrov was very alert: "However, after the signing of the treaty, there will be seriousness and national norms, and it is better not to revise it indiscriminately, otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble." ”

; Luo Yang heard the meaning of his warning and smiled: "I know, therefore, we don't advocate revision." ”

"Hmm." Daderov was shocked, just now, Luo Yang also said that it was between the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom and the United States that would be revised.

"Actually, it was the Americans themselves who wanted to revise it." Luo Yang did not hesitate to put the on the heads of the Americans, and said that because of the contact of the southern representatives, the minister of the northern federation was afraid, so he wanted to revise the treaty, and then, he was worried about international public opinion, so the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom took the initiative.

"It's unbelievable." Daderov shook his head,

The devil believes,

Luo Yang is not afraid that he doesn't believe it, and he doesn't care if he believes it or not, it doesn't matter, anyway, he admires Mr. Hitler's diplomatic skills quite a lot, one word, deceive, deceive all the Britain, France and the United States of Nima,

"However, I would like to express to the Russian Government that we of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom absolutely guarantee the seriousness of all treaties with Russia, and will not be undermined in any way, unless you Russians want to revise them." Luo Yang patted his chest and reassured,

Dadrov was not very excited, because this empty check was not interesting, it had almost no effect on Russia, anyway, it did not impress the changes in the northern territories, and Russia's economic power could not carry out subversive penetration into China.

After chatting for a while, Luo Yang ended his meeting with the Russian minister and said goodbye,

Then, Luo Yang ate a little food, and non-stop, to other countries' ministers, to meet, including the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, etc., to the ministers of these countries, of course, also including the female family members, what Mrs. is good, Miss is good, and these ministers, when they are recruited, are allowed to lead their wives to come, so Luo Yang according to the Western-style way of meeting, they hug, kiss, take advantage of it,

There is no more content, these small countries, weak countries, are just foils, when Luoyang launched a diplomatic offensive, as a toy for decorations, at the same time, with the help of their birdsong and flower beaks, to more people, but also to Britain, France and the United States government, rendering the new diplomatic attitude of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom: "We, the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, are good friends of the great powers, good friends of the nations, we adhere to an independent foreign policy of peace, and are willing to establish diplomatic relations with any country and nation, friendly exchanges, under the current circumstances, No old treaties will be amended for the time being. ”
