Jason. The Royal Churchill Infirmary is the best and most luxurious hospital in the world. Biquge.info, YBDU, is located on more than 2,000 acres of land on Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. It has beautiful architecture, gardens that look like royal gardens, the best doctors in the world, the most advanced medical equipment and medicines, and of course, the highest fees. Not only are the working people of Britain out of reach, but the middle class of the UK cannot afford the high cost of medical care. This hospital is to serve the rich and powerful in Britain and even the whole of Europe.

Just as the red flag was raised over the castle of Warsaw, the crown prince of the Russian Empire, Nikolai . Escorted by the Russian Foreign Minister, Duke Gorchakov, Aleksandrovich was admitted to the most luxurious palatial wards in the area, a small three-story building with four bedrooms with bathrooms, two studies, a dining room, a living room for balls, and a small private living room. Oh, and there's a well-equipped operating room.

It was the idea of Viscount Palmerston, Prime Minister of the Empire on which the sun never sets, to invite the Russian crown prince for treatment, and his Excellency now walked down the aisle of this palace-like ward, where he had come to visit the sick in his personal capacity. Led by a Russian court attendant dressed in strange court attire, Viscount Palmerston soon arrived in front of the study of the Russian crown prince.

The attendant knocked lightly on the door and said in Russian: "Your Highness, I have brought His Excellency Viscount Palmerston. ”

"Bring him in!" The future tsar said in a deep voice.

It sounds like it's full of energy, but it seems that the treatment is still somewhat effective.

The heavy carved wooden door was soon opened, and Viscount Palmerston saw his old acquaintance, Russian Foreign Minister Gorchakov, standing in the doorway. A smile on his face. He did not seem to be at all worried about the defeat of Russia in Poland - Viscount Palmerston himself was very worried about it. There is really a little bit of the emperor's imposition to be a eunuch!

"Oh. Mr. Viscount, welcome to your visit. The Russian crown prince, dressed in a crisp military uniform, stood up from behind his desk and looked as if he were a healthy man. He speaks German and is very fluent. The current Romanov dynasty is descended from Peter the Great's grandson, Peter III, who was a German. And since Peter III, the empresses of the Russian tsars were all from Germany. Crown Prince Nikolai's fiancée, also from Germany, is Princess DeMarg of the Glücksburg dynasty. So the Romanov dynasty was actually a German dynasty!

"Seeing how healthy your body is. It makes me so happy. Viscount Palmerston bowed slightly, then walked over to a chair across from the Crown Prince's desk and sat down. Gorchakov, for his part, sat beside him with a smile, as if Russia had just won a victory and not a defeat!

Isn't it possible that the marriage between the French crown prince and the Russian princess has been negotiated? When Viscount Palmerston thought of this, his heart chuckled. Once the Bonaparte and Romanov dynasties married and led to a Franco-Russian alliance, the British Empire was in real trouble! There was no country on the European continent that could restrain France, and in the Americas there was no force that could oppose the Franco-Mexico-American Confederate alliance. The time of French world domination is coming!

"Looks like something happy is coming to Russia?" Viscount Palmerston asked tentatively.

The Russian Foreign Minister replied with a smile: "Happy event? Uh, barely counted, right? The Chinese emperor had just lifted the wartime status of the Kazakh Khanate, the Eastern Siberian Company, the Western Qing Dynasty, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the mobilization had begun to be demobilized. It seems that they are not planning to invade for the time being. ”

Could it be because of the influence exerted by Napoleon III? Viscount Palmerston thought secretly. It is also possible that the deployment of the Chinese in Central Asia and Eastern Siberia is defensive in nature, unless they really want to hit the Ural Mountains. But such an act would unite the whole of Europe against the Yellow Peril. That Chinese emperor wouldn't be so stupid. His future expansion targets will definitely be South Seas and Australia! Therefore, the contradictions between China and Russia may not be irreconcilable, and the key is whether Russia can give up its plan to regain the lost territory in Eastern Siberia and Central Asia. However, the contradiction between Britain and China is really difficult to reconcile......

Thinking of this, the corners of Viscount Palmerston's mouth twitched unnaturally.

"The Chinese do not plan to go west for the time being, so that the Russian Empire will be happy?" Viscount Palmerston's tone was mocking.

"Rejoice?" The Russian crown prince frowned slightly, "There is nothing to be happy about, but there is a sigh of relief from top to bottom...... Mr. Prime Minister, you British people do not feel how terrible it is to be neighbors with a mighty empire of more than 500 million people! ”

"More than 500 million? I'm afraid not one percent can mobilize and organize, right? Viscount Palmerston had a nonchalant expression.

"One percent is 5 million people!"

The Russian crown prince frowned, "What we know is that the Chinese emperor has included one-tenth of the Chinese in a national mobilization system. This mobilization in the Kazakh Khanate and Eastern Siberia may have been an attempt to test the efficiency of this mobilization system...... I think that in less than 20 years, he will include all Chinese in the national mobilization system, just like Prussia. When the time comes, he will be able to easily mobilize 50 million bayonets! And China's industry will certainly be able to arm these armies by then. Mr. Prime Minister, you know how fast their industry is growing, right? The resources and labor of the Ming Empire were almost unlimited, and a series of highly successful Westernization reforms injected new vitality into this ancient empire, allowing unlimited resources and labor to begin to play their due role! ”

Gorchakov said in a lamenting tone, "What a misfortune for our Russian Empire to have such a terrible opponent, how can it be possible to provoke a second one?" ”

Viscount Palmerston's face became even more gloomy.

He knew, of course, that Russia was waiting for a price to sell, and that it was going to pick a refuge between France and England. And in this bidding, Britain must not lose, otherwise the British Empire will have to face the attack of France and China alone! Even as soon as the war in North America ended, China and France would begin to fight, and these two countries would definitely not give Britain the opportunity to absorb and merge the United States of America.

And Britain simply did not have the strength to strike at its opponents on land...... Whether it is the French Army or the Chinese Army, they can easily defeat the British Army, which numbered only tens of thousands of people.

Viscount Palmerston took a deep breath. The current empire on which the sun never sets must not lose this friend of the Russian Empire! Moreover, the British Empire must also try to break up the alliance between the Ming and France, which is a bit difficult, but not entirely impossible. Because there are no eternal friends in the world, this task is entrusted to Zhu Jishi's good friend Will. Rear Admiral Hemming go and finish it......

……

Will. Major General Hemming is now retired from the British Army. However, he did not stop serving the British Empire and became a senior diplomat. It was when the Prime Minister thought of him that he was on a steamboat flying the flag of rice had arrived at the pier in Osaka. It's a bustling scene. The clouds are blue, and the sea breeze is warm. The docks were bustling with Japanese coolies in shorts and a strip of white cloth tied around their heads. Horse-drawn carriages and oriental cars carrying passengers are crowded at the entrance to the pier. Words and Japanese greetings and cheers rang out. A variety of Chinese signboards are hung everywhere around the ferry terminal. It seems that this is a port that belongs to the Ming Empire.

Will. Haiming leaned on the railing of the side of the steamer, looking at this increasingly Chinese city, and his brow couldn't help but wrinkle. Minister Hemming, who is quite familiar with Oriental culture, can of course see the difference between Chinese culture and Japanese culture. Hemming is still well aware of the difference between the two. Therefore, he can also deeply feel that Osaka is becoming a Chinese city...... Their language, clothing, architecture, and other aspects are changing! (To be continued.) )
