Reuters, on these two words, Li Mengyang bets that if you ask the Chinese in later generations, then you will definitely add a social character after these two words, Reuters.

Yes, it's this Reuters, and now there is such a Reuters, but what Li Mengyang is talking to Disraeli and Gladstone about now is a person, not a company, or the owner of Reuters, Paul. Julis. Reuters!

Why do you want to talk about this person?

Because this person is in Persia now, and he has a good relationship with King Nasir-al-Din of Persia, and he has signed a very, very powerful agreement before, which can be called Reuters privilege.

The date of signing this agreement is very, very close, just the day after the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced their visit to the empire, on July 25, because Reuters is the head of Reuters, so the news was transmitted relatively quickly, and Li Mengyang knew about it in mid-August.

So what exactly is this privilege?

To put it simply, it was the future of the Persian Empire, with railways, coal, oil, deforestation, and engineering...... All these rights were ceded to Paul. Reuters!

It's just such a treaty, hate it or not?

Let's put it this way, if this matter is known to the Manchu court, then they will definitely have a feeling of being slapped in the face!

If you simulate the mentality of the Manchu rulers, it must be something like this:

Fuck, I thought we were good enough at betraying the country, but I didn't expect you, King Nasirdin, to walk in front of our Qing Dynasty!

Well, there was almost no reaction from the Manchu side on this matter. That is, in the Hereafter. Anyone who is not an in-depth study of world history probably doesn't know.

So what's weird here? Why did you sign such a super-traitorous treaty?

This thing. We have to start with the past......

Persia is in decline, then this is a fact, the reason is similar to the Ottomans, and this reason is also very deep, don't look at this first, just look at this Nasir al-Din king.

This king is also a young man...... Well, I don't know why, this country of feudal imperial power. There are too many young geniuses......

Young Tianzi, at the beginning, he also wanted to show his strength and turn the tide!

Nasir al-Din was also a hot-blooded young man, oh the emperor, and he also met a figure who seemed to be like Zhuge Liang of Persia, this man was named Nizam.

Nizam was not originally called by this name, this Nizam was given to him by Nasirdin, which shows Nasiraldin's importance to this Nizam.

Nizam is a returnee, that is, he has seen the world outside Persia. So, when he returned, he still had the king's support. So Nizam began to reform drastically!

Li Mengyang can think of this kind of reform without looking at it, this kind of reform first has a premise, that is, to safeguard all the rights of the king, because this reform is supported by the king, that is, to maintain the original feudal system, then you want a feudal society to learn from the West and become a country like the West, what will be the result?

Within a few years, Nizam was executed by Nasir-al-Din!

Nasir al-Din not only gave Nizam the name, but also married his sister to him, and such a trusted minister, Persian Zhuge Liang, was finally executed by the emperor.

Why is this happening?

Li Mengyang knew it early on, and the reason is very simple, because in the process of such a reform, in the process of modernization, the first impact, and the last impact, are all feudal imperial power!

This is actually the case in Europe, such as Franz. Joseph I, don't look at the fact that there are railways in Austria now, but Joseph I still privately told Li Mengyang that he really doesn't want to build railways, because this thing will make the country unstable.

Why?

The news is transmitted faster, everyone communicates more, and in this way, everyone sees more, thinks more, and adds up, hey, it's because the emperor is a bastard, so let's make a revolution!

In fact, this is the case, so the progress of the times is not only sweeping old things into the dustbin of history.

And then again, Nasir-al-Din killed his own Zhuge Liang, and the reformers were suppressed, and then he got closer to the British.

So why did you sign that pact with Reuters?

This has to talk about the person Reuters, Reuters knows it, Li Mengyang also knows, and this news agency they played carrier pigeons at the beginning, using this to deliver news, and Reuters is quite a legend, he has been everywhere, carrier pigeons, and they can't fly far, so they were mixed on the European continent at the beginning.

But then, there was chaos in Europe, and the more chaotic it was, the faster it was found that Reuters was a person!

It is important to note the timing of Reuters, which is that Reuters was not originally called Reuters, he was a Jew, but in 1845, this Reuters went to England and then converted to Christianity!

You know, it's very, very strange, so strange that it's hard to believe, that Judaism is completely different from Christianity.

However, Reuters did it, and he later returned to the European continent, and then set up a news agency, engaged in all kinds of news things, as long as there is new technology, he will use it, trains, telegraphs, what is fast to transmit news, he will use anything, in the past 20 years of development, Reuters is simply smooth sailing, not only in terms of news, it is really called one step ahead, and the development of the whole enterprise has never missed a step!

So what can we think of when such a large pile of information is stacked on top of each other?

007!

James in the 19th century. Bond!

Even if he Reuters is not a spy, but at least he is engaged in intelligence, maybe he is the kind of intelligence dealer like Xie Ruolin, right?

Moreover, why did Reuters sign such an important purchase agreement with a king as an individual?

Because now Reuters is no longer a gentleman, he is Your Excellency, he is a baron of the British Empire!

Therefore, in today's world, maybe other people look at Reuters, and they will definitely think that Reuters is a successful businessman, but Li Mengyang looks at the future, his identity as Reuters must be very problematic, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems.

And now, Li Mengyang, the emperor of the American Empire, who has mastered so many things and analyzed so many things, wants to talk to the two heads of the British Empire about the Persian problem, but these two guys don't want to talk about it, and the excuse is that Persia is negotiated with a person, and their British government can't intervene......

Who can believe this?

The British Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer are here, so of course the meeting between the two sides will not be a meeting, of course, Li Mengyang is the emperor, and he will not accompany these two guys all day long, so other talks will come out.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, and Your Excellency the Chancellor of the Exchequer, my empire has received news before, but this news has not been fully confirmed, that is, I am afraid that the Tsarist Russian side is very concerned about your Baron Julis. Reuters is very dissatisfied with the agreement reached with the Persian king Nasirdin, this news, of course, it is really not confirmed, it is indeed not, but however, His Majesty the Emperor of our empire, still suggests that the affairs between our two countries should be discussed quickly, so that the two gentlemen can return to China as soon as possible, or, one of the two gentlemen can go back first, please rest assured, our empire will never think the two are rude, this will definitely not affect the relationship between our two countries, and it will definitely not ......"

At a meeting, the secretary general of the empire, Lin Xiaoyi, said this, and what he said was very interesting, that is, that news, not sure, not sure he said it three times.

Well, it seems that Lin Xiaoyi was also influenced by Li Mengyang, and he knew that important things had to be said three times!

So how do you listen to that?

Obviously, Disraeli and Gladstone are not fools, they are the elite of the elite of the British Empire, how do they not know that this was not said by Lin Xiaoyi, the secretary general, but by Li Mengyang, the emperor?

Doesn't that mean that the Empire has confirmed that Tsarist Russia is probably going to take action.

So? How is that possible?

You know, the American Empire is a long way from the European continent, and it's even farther away from Persia, and when it comes to Tsarist Russia, the distance between them, this news is passed on......

That's not right! It's impossible!

Yes, no matter how you think about it, the news from there came so quickly, time is not allowed, when Disraeli and Gladstone came, the treaty was only signed not long ago, so the news is going to the Tsarist side, and the Tsarist side is reacting......

It's impossible to add it up, it's absolutely impossible!

"Mr. Lin, for this matter, we decided after researching it, it's better to stay in the New World, and we can talk about all kinds of details slowly."

Disraeli and Gladstone, the two political enemies, this pair of sworn enemies, they are really ideologically unified now, anyway, we don't believe that the information of your empire is accurate, and we don't believe that the intelligence system of your empire is more powerful than our British Empire!

This is very normal, the British Empire is now the best country in the world, her cattle are in all aspects, in terms of intelligence, it is absolutely first-class, so Disraeli and Gladstone have absolute confidence.

But though, a week after the two men visited the American Empire......

"What!?"

When the British courier approached the Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer of the British Empire with top-secret documents, Disraeli and Gladstone were completely dumbfounded!

It was very clear from that document that the Reuters Entente of Privilege was suddenly completely exposed in Persia, and the entire content of the Entente was made public, and the Persian people were agitated, and they strongly condemned the king's treachery, and even demonstrated, and Tsarist Russia played an important role in the suppression of these acts...... (To be continued......)
