Arlington Street, London, England, the current British Prime Minister Robert . Gascoigne-Cecil's Residence, by Robert. Prime Minister Gascoigne-Cecil is also the third Marquess of Salisbury, so he is generally known as His Excellency the Marquess of Salisbury. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info As the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he did not live at 10 Downing Street, and the Marquess of Salisbury was not the first person, but he was the last Prime Minister in history to refuse to live at 10 Downing Street. The reason for this is said to be that he was disgusted with the Cabinet Room at 10 Downing Street, which he considered "small and stuffy", so he moved the Prime Minister's official residence to Arlington Street, and his office was in the Foreign Office.

"Mr. Earl, my great Japan has always longed for the civilized world, including Britain, but now the country of Lu is constantly exerting pressure on our country in the Far East, which is not conducive to peace and stability in the Far East. Therefore, Japan hopes to get the support of the British government to curb the further expansion of the country to a certain extent. The Japanese Minister to the United Kingdom, Takaaki Kato, said cautiously in the face of the Earl of Salisbury.

After hearing this, Salisbury said lightly: "Mr. Minister, you should know that our country and Russia are Entente countries with relevant interests, and we have the same demands in many respects. With regard to your country's relations with Russia, our country is willing to come forward to organize mediation between the two countries. ”

Hearing this, Kato Takaaki said: "Mr. Earl, although Britain and Lu are in an entente relationship, the Lu country's step-by-step pressure in the Far East also endangers your country's interests in the Qing country. According to the information we received from the Qing State, the Qing State has reached a "Defensive Alliance Treaty" with the Lu State and opened up the market in the entire northeast. Now that Lu Guo is asking Qing Guo to open up the northeast region, will Lu Guo not further claim the rights and interests of the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins? ”

Although Mr. Minister's words are full of a sense of crisis, as an Entente country, we still need to pay attention to the development of relations between the two countries. Again, if your country needs to mediate in the interests of the northeastern part of the Qing Dynasty, we in the British Empire are willing to intercede as mediators, and I hope that Mr. Minister will convey my words to His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the Prime Minister. Salisbury is still coming back with a steady Tarzan answer.

Seeing this, Kato Takaaki had to get up and say goodbye, and after Kato Takaaki left, British Chancellor of the Exchequer Michael. Sir Beech asked, "Your Excellency, are we really going to tolerate Russian action in the Far East?" ”

Salisbury said with a faint smile: "Russia's actions in the Far East are far less serious than what Japan says, and Russia's control over the Far East will not be too strong until the Trans-Siberian Railway is completely completed." If Japan could learn about the treaty signed between the Qing and Russia, wouldn't we, the British Empire, know about it? Now Japan is desperate for our support because Russia has violated their interests, but why should we be in such a hurry as the Japanese? ”

Michael. Beechcraft understood what he said and said, "I see, Mr. Earl, what shall we do now?" ”

Salisbury said, "Germany is still very much on the European continent, and although the two countries are still so friendly on the surface, the Germans can't wait to replace us as the ruler of the world." After the failure of Jensen's last expedition to South Africa, the Kaiser went so far as to ask Paul Anderson. Kroger sent a congratulatory message, which was undoubtedly a contempt for our British Empire. So now our priority is to deal with the damned Boers in South Africa, and let the whole world know that the glory of the British Empire is not something that can be violated at will.

"What about the Japanese side, how should we decide?" Michael. Beach asked.

Salisbury replied: "Japan is an emerging country after all, and although they defeated the Qing last year, they are still too weak. But in the Far East they are a good partner to work with, but we can't rush too much. We must always play a leading role in our relations with Japan, so that these yellow people do not have any other thoughts. ”

After returning to the Japanese Legation in the United Kingdom on Piccadilly Street, Kato immediately transmitted the communication with the British government back to China, and it was already early in the morning of the next day. As the prime minister, Matsukata Masayoshi was awakened again by the attendant officer as soon as he fell asleep, and Matsukata, who was slightly dissatisfied, asked, "What is the matter?" ”

The chamberlain replied, "Your Excellency, Minister Kato's telegram from London. ”

Masayoshi Matsukata did not dare to slack off when he heard this, and immediately took the telegram and read it, and then said to the attendant, "Go and invite Your Excellency Ito, Your Excellency Yamagu, and Your Excellency Saionji to come immediately." ”

Ito Hirobumi, Yama Prefecture Aritomo and Saionji Gongwang all eagerly came to the Prime Minister's residence after receiving the news, and Yamaguchi Aritomo asked anxiously when he saw Matsukata Masayoshi: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, how did the British side reply?" ”

Masayoshi Matsukata handed the telegram in his hand to Yamaken Aritomo, who looked cold after reading it, and handed the telegram to Ito Hirobumi next to him, and Ito Hirobumi handed the telegram paper to Saionji Gongwang after reading it. After everyone watched it, some friends in Shan County said: "Baga! The British are too stupid! ”

Ito Hirobumi smiled when he heard Yama Prefecture's words: "The reaction of the British was expected by me, but it was unexpected. ”

When a friend heard the difference, he said, "Why did Ito-kun say this? ”

"It was expected that the British would not have agreed to our request so easily, but unexpectedly because I had seen from this telegram the possibility of an alliance between our Imperial Japanese Empire and the British, and I am sure Your Excellency Saionji must have seen it." Ito Hirofumi said and looked at the Saionji Gongwang next to him and smiled.

At a time when Japan was seeking support from the British government, Kaiser Wilhelm II was now in a state of flux, and a group of Junkers kept coming to him for heart-to-heart talks, undoubtedly dissatisfied with the intelligence services. Wilhelm II did not know that it was because the Russians' withdrawal and loan recovery alarmed the bankrupt Junkers, and he took all his anger out on Bismarck, the former hero of the German Empire. "Why isn't this old guy dead? Why can't he retire at home in peace? Wilhelm II cursed inwardly.

"Go tell Schlieffen that this matter is up to him to solve because of the mistakes of his intelligence department." Wilhelm II rubbed his forehead and said to the attendants beside him.

The General Staff of the German Army, Schlieffen received a verbal order from Wilhelm II and understood that in order to silence those Junkers, there must be a scapegoat, and the position of this scapegoat cannot be too low, obviously Beckmann, as the head of the intelligence department, is a good scapegoat.

Schlieffen thought of this and said to the guards beside him: "Inform the Judge Advocate General's Office, let them send someone to escort Beckman to the military court, and inform the military court that this matter should be concluded as soon as possible, and not too long." After finishing speaking, he looked at the guard who was about to go out, and then said: "After you go to Beckman's house, I know that Beckman's wife has just given birth to a child, and you can bring 5,000 gold marks to me as a little heart." ”

Schlieffen felt sorry for the thought that his newborn child was about to be without a father, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Soldiers must not be mixed with politics." ”

Meanwhile, in the village of Shoushan in the Minusinsk region of Siberia, Russia, the operation codenamed "Rescue" was completed, and the brown bear and sea lion quickly eliminated the six men, and then they took Ulyanov to the prepared carriage and headed for the city of Minusinsk, where they would take a train to Primorsky Oblast, where they would take a boat to Qingguo.
