449: London meeting of the Big Three

London, England, the world's three major powerful giants gathered here, their faces are full of exhaustion, the rise of the Chinese has become inevitable, which is far beyond the prediction of all countries in the world, and the rise of the Chinese has not brought too many benefits to Britain, France and the United States, but has exerted huge pressure on them.

If they could have predicted today's situation, then a few years ago, they would never have any support for the Chinese, let alone do any business with the Chinese.

By now, the Chinese have completely lost control, they have begun to surpass Britain, France and the United States in some aspects, and perhaps these world giants seem to have no better way to limit the development of the Chinese except for the economy.

And the Chinese and the Germans are getting closer and closer, and the cooperation between the two sides is getting closer and closer, which also makes Britain and France feel a huge threat, although the Americans live in a corner, they will not threaten them in a short time, and even the interests between the Chinese Empire and the Americans are the closest, but the Americans are not the kind of country that will not think of danger in times of peace, and they also realize the seriousness of the problem.

Coupled with the situation on the battlefield in Russia, various factors combined to promote this meeting of the Big Three, which did not exist in history.

British Prime Minister Herbert. Henry. Asquith, French President Armand. Fallier, President of the United States, Theodore. Roosevelt, the three of them will arrive in London to discuss the next countermeasures, Theodore Roosevelt did not care about the distance of the road, the exhaustion of the body, as soon as he arrived in England, he directly asked for the meeting to begin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have to admit that our previous prediction of the Chinese was completely wrong, and now that we have experienced the consequences of this mistake, we must find a way to solve this danger, to calm down the Chinese, and let the Germans stop their expansion." Herbert said directly, without too much verbal embellishment, directly negating their previous decision, this is not the time to be faced, as long as the crisis brought by the Chinese can be solved, everything else is easy to say.

Although the most face-saving person in the world is afraid that it is the British, but Herbert really can't find anything that can give him a long face, and in this matter, the British are wrong again and again, and half of the credit for the rise of the Chinese should be attributed to the British, what face does he have?

"Restrictions? I'm sorry, I can't think of anything else we have to limit them right now. Theodore Roosevelt shrugged his shoulders with a look of helplessness.

As the country that has the longest and deepest exchanges with the Chinese, Americans know very well how far the Chinese have developed at present. It is even possible that the Chinese are more developed than the Americans have learned. As soon as he remembered the report given by the domestic research institute, Theodore Roosevelt's face showed a solemn expression, and he continued:

"We in the United States have also been deceived by the Chinese in this matter, and according to our investigation, Wang's position in China is far greater than that of any emperor in their Chinese history, whether it is the people, the government, or the military, no one can shake Wang's position." And Wang is a very talented performer, with a very deep city, and a very self-aware monarch, he knows when and what to do, how to consolidate his position, how to make China stronger.

A complete, unified China, that is the most terrible country, this has been proven in history, we do not need to make any doubts, what worries us more is that they also have such a more feared monarch as Wang, under the leadership of Wang, it took only a few years for the Chinese to complete the task that the entire Manchu court did not complete.

As for the limitations, I don't need to say much about the military aspect, the situation in the Russian theater has proven everything, although the naval side is sure of victory, but it will definitely be a crushing victory, those two battleships are American-made, and we know very well how powerful they really are. In order to reach an agreement, the United States agreed to the request of the Chinese to participate in the construction, so in the next few years, they should have the ability to initially build battleships.

China is a world power with a population base of 400 million, and with China's current economic situation, even if there is no external economic stimulus, they will not have any impact, and even, in the next ten years, or twenty years, just to stimulate domestic demand, it is enough for them to be busy.

And this is not the most frightening place for us, from the military side, we also see the terrible ability of the Chinese in research and innovation, they have been ahead of us in the military aspect, and I heard that Wang has rectified and upgraded the royal industry they arranged in the early stage, and now it has basically entered the end, for the previous royal industry, they only keep two of each industry, and the main task of these two is to research new technologies in the industry, and other private factories in the country can be licensed to use at a very low price.

Perhaps, in the future, no one knows when this moment will happen, and then, our technology in civilian terms will also lag behind them. After reading this report, my staff told me that if we want to solve this problem, there are two main options, the first is that we will invest heavily in upgrading our military and civilian industries in an all-round way, and strive to surpass China in an all-round way, or even suppress them, so that maybe we can get back some initiative.

The second plan is much simpler, that is, let him disappear completely, leave the Chinese dragons leaderless, trigger them into civil strife, and consume them as much as possible. And the king's son is now less than a year old, and I don't think he will grow up to the height of the king in the future. ”

"No, it can't be! The second option is absolutely impossible to pass, and you had better not think of it, for His Majesty would be furious if he knew about it. Herbert shook his head violently, he agreed with Roosevelt's evaluation, but for the last sentence, he did not have to think about it to object, because it was absolutely impossible.

Roosevelt also knew very well that it was absolutely impossible to assassinate Wang Sirui, and without the support of Britain and France, the Americans would not be stupid enough to do such a thing.

"yes, I don't think it's a good option, and besides, we got another piece of information that doesn't allow us to do that." Armand nodded and said, the matter has developed to this point, and there is no need for the three people present to hide it, after all, this is about the future of the Three Kingdoms.

Even though there were many contradictions between France and Britain, their interests in dealing with the Chinese and Germans were surprisingly identical.

"There is a mysterious Chinese army on the battlefield in Russia, so far, the Russian troops who have been lucky enough to see this force have been unfortunately killed, and the Russians have a headache for this, and want to send a large army to destroy them, but they have never found their traces, and they are indeed moving around, and will always jump out and stab you when you don't expect it, so that you can't guard against it.

According to the information currently available, no less than 3,000 Russian soldiers died at the hands of this mysterious unit, and in addition to this, they also destroyed the Russian cable with the East, which has hardly been normal for the Russians since the start of the war.

In addition, they continue to sabotage the Russians' railways, every action is so elusive, for this reason, the Russians have to station about 30,000 and 20,000 troops along the railway to protect the railway and cables, but the railways and cables will still be destroyed, at present, a large number of Russian supplies are forced to hoard in Siberia, materials and troops can not go to the front line, if the calculation conditions are not so strict, this force probably dragged down not less than 200,000 Russian troops, and according to the Russian army's guess, Their number will not exceed two thousand at most.

Moreover, it is mainly a small group of troops, and the scale of a dozen people can only be seen at most at a time, and it is difficult to catch them. In addition, in the Xinjiang region, some high-ranking people with status and opposition to the Chinese Empire have now been assassinated, and if I am not mistaken, the mission should have something to do with this mysterious force that appeared in Russia. Armand said, such elite troops have been sent to the front line, so will the force of protection around Wang Sirui be small?

Of course, in addition to the difficulty of the task, there is another very important reason, that is, the attitude of the European royal families, they do not want someone to assassinate their royal family one day, so there is also a tacit agreement between the European royal families, that is, each will not send someone to assassinate the other party's royal family, and even stop this behavior.

In order to protect the interests of the royal family, European countries have done a very good job in this regard, and in the same way, after hundreds of years of invasion, even the common people and political leaders of various countries have this kind of thinking.

The simplest example is in Europe, if you are not in line with the throne, then it will not be your turn to be king unless the heir who comes before you dies after ascending the throne and has no descendants. And if the heir in front of you has descendants, then his descendants will become the first heir, even if he is still in his infancy, he will ascend to the throne of kings.

If someone does not comply with this rule, then the entire people of the country, the top of the government, and the whole of Europe will be overthrown, and the de jure heir will be put on the throne.

What was the reason for the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance? What Boxer and the like don't need to mention, those are just superficial reasons, in fact, the real reason, and there is only one decisive reason, that is, Cixi wants to abolish the emperor, after the emperor ascends the throne, it represents the highest power of the country, and the Guangxu Emperor is also the heir to the throne as the emperor, unless he himself does not want to do it, no one can overthrow him, but Cixi has to do this, in a sense, the Guangxu Emperor and the European royal family are on the same front' friendly forces', of course, the great powers did not allow it.

It was in this situation that Cixi finally withdrew the decision to abolish the emperor, but the power was still in her hands, and the powers were not too serious in this regard, as long as the emperor was still there, and the rest could not be controlled.

Now Wang Sirui is the emperor, although he is not the heir to the throne, but it is the country he himself defeated, as the founding monarch, the status is far beyond other emperors of later generations, if anyone dares to make a decision to assassinate Wang Sirui, not to mention how the Chinese will react, that is, they may not be able to bear it on the European side.
