On the evening of September 7, Beijing time, U.S. Minister to China Tian Bei received a message from Secretary of State John Brown. After Sherman's telegram, he visited the British Minister to China, Ogner, and the French Minister to China, Tian Chun. {Please search in Baidu, read the full text for the first time} I hope that Britain and France can help the United States through this difficulty, so that China will not open its mouth as a fat sheep and lion. Out of consideration for their own interests, the British and French envoys both said that they would do their best to help the United States after consulting their own countries. After all, although the United States has money, it can't give it to China! Now that China has posed a serious threat to the interests of other countries in the Far East, if China slaughters the United States fiercely, won't this allow China to accelerate its development? For Britain and France, this is tantamount to lifting a stone to hit their own feet. Therefore, it makes sense that they should do their best to help the United States.

The US minister to China, Tian Bei, left contentedly after receiving the promise of the British and French envoys to China. Although, after China took Hawaii, he once released cruel words, saying that China would regret it. But he did not expect that the US Navy would be defeated by half of the Chinese navy without fighting, which made him not know where to put his face. However, for the sake of the interests of the United States, there was no choice but to ask for the support of Britain and France.

"Zhu Erdian, what happened to you this time?" In the British Embassy in China, Zhu Erdian and Ogener were in their study to discuss the military conflict between China and the United States. Because, neither side officially declared war, it became a military conflict. Just like the military conflict that broke out between Britain and western Sichuan on the plateau border back then.

"The United States has strong economic and industrial power, but it is too weak militarily. It is very irrational for them to rashly challenge the Chinese. If they could wait a few years, when China and Japan go to war, then they would have a much better chance of winning. At the very least, the number of their battleships will increase by several units, and the main strength of the Navy will not be wiped out by the Chinese Navy in just a few hours! Zhu Erdian pondered for a moment, and then said. He came to Beijing from Chengdu on order. Ogner's term of office is coming to an end, and Jurden will be the new British minister to China. After the conflict between China and the United States is resolved this time, he will officially take over Ogna's position.

"That's right, these Yankees think that if they have money, they will be able to become a world power. They still have a long way to go if they want to become a real power! However, it is not necessarily without benefit to let the Americans suffer a little loss this time. At least it can deepen the hatred of Americans against the Chinese side. The next time a war breaks out between China and Japan, they will be able to do it with all their might. At that time, perhaps we will be able to solve the crisis formed in China without our intervention! Ogener said with a smile. If other countries can be used to accomplish Britain's goals, Britain will not need to expend its own national resources, which is undoubtedly the best outcome.

"Your Excellency, the Americans are too bad in terms of navy, at least more than ten years behind us. The battleships they were sunk by the Chinese in this naval battle were even more backward than our 'Sovereign-class' battleships six years ago. The two-stage battleships they are building, and even the battleships that are about to start construction, are far inferior to ours. If the United States were to deal with the Chinese, they would probably be invincible! Zhu Erdian said with some concern.

"This problem is easy to solve, and I will ask the Cabinet to ask the Admiralty to sell some military technology to the United States, so that not only can we arm the United States, but also earn us more money. The Admiralty has been demanding more and more advanced warships in response to the rising German and Chinese navies, but has had to cut back on plans due to lack of funds. Now, if you can make a sum of money from the Americans, it is undoubtedly the best! Ogener said.

"Your Excellency, from the battle reports we have received, the heavy cruisers of the Chinese have shown extremely strong combat power in this naval battle. Although when dealing with battleships, some forces were invincible. But when it comes to dealing with the cruisers of the Americans, it is really invincible. I heard that the Chinese are building more powerful heavy cruisers. The British Empire's overseas territories are extremely vast, and it seems that we need such a high-speed, high-power warship! Zhu Erdian said that in recent times, he has also been very interested in the navy, and has conducted some research in this area, and the heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy have made him very fond of them.

"I'm afraid I'll have to talk to Sir Fisher about this. When I get home, I will visit Sir Fisher if I have time. I'm sure he'll be very interested in your mention! Ogener said with a smile. Fisher was the third secretary of state of the navy in charge of naval audit, during which time he broke with tradition and reformed to keep the British Empire's navy at the world's leading level.

The next day, the official media of the Chinese Empire, "China Daily" and "Emperor ** Bao", both devoted a large amount of text to the military conflict between China and the United States in the eastern Pacific, and the newspaper reported that the US Navy first opened fire on the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy, and the Pacific Fleet fought back, and finally at the cost of sinking four destroyers, it won the great result of sinking three battleships of the US Navy, capturing one, and severely damaging one.

As a result, today's newspapers have been sold like crazy all at once, and the enthusiasm of the people has been aroused at once. The streets and alleys were full of talk about the Empire's victories, and some homes even set off firecrackers to celebrate the Empire's naval victories. For them, the new empire, though only two years old, was much more powerful than the previous one. In the face of foreign powers, the former dynasty commanded and groveled, while the empire won one victory after another, which greatly satisfied the national pride and self-confidence of the people.

"Those men in the navy, it's really good, the weak defeat the strong! At the cost of four small ships, the main naval force of the Americans was wiped out, which really greatly increased the prestige of our empire! Catch up with Ming'er, Lao Tzu will also ask the Imperial Navy if he wants to recruit soldiers, and Lao Tzu will also go to the Imperial Navy! In a teahouse in Beijing, a thin man in his thirties said excitedly.

"Come on, Third Master, with your physique, can the Navy want you?" The others immediately coaxed.

"You can't afford to be a young man, I think back then, when you were young, you were also known as 'Langli Baitiao', with your skills, if you enter the navy, you will definitely make meritorious contributions!" The man known as the third master said quite unconvinced.

"Humph! It is unreasonable that the sage cloud is 'warlike and will die'! 'Soldiers, murder weapons! 'Now this court, instead of cultivating the royal road, but wantonly uses swords and soldiers, this is the image of the death of the reckless soldiers! "In one corner of the teahouse, an old man with a pig's tail in the back of his head looked compassionate, as if he had foreseen the end of the empire. In the country now, there are still a very small number of people who still have braids, and these people are all foolish and loyal elements of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It's just that when the empire is getting stronger and stronger, these people can't afford to make any waves, and the empire doesn't bother to pay attention to them. As long as they don't make trouble, they will go.

"Sour Xiucai, you don't like to hear what you say! What does it mean to be reckless? What is a dying elephant? Could it be that the same as the previous dynasty, being beaten by foreigners and groveling, is that the peaceful and prosperous era? Phew! Didn't I say that after the establishment of the empire, although it was only two years, how much has the weather in the country changed? Now construction is being carried out everywhere, and as long as you are willing to contribute, you will be able to have a bowl of rice to eat, and this life is much better than that of the previous dynasty. And the emperor's ** team, under the leadership of the emperor, has achieved how many victories! First the Orientals, and now the Americans, aren't they all obedient to the emperor's packing? According to me! This empire, the command is getting better and better! Everyone said yes! The third master said loudly. ，

"Yes! It's still an empire! The guys are living much better than the previous dynasty! ”

"The empire has cleaned up all the foreigners, and when you see the foreigners again, you can straighten your waist and salute without moving!"

Everyone agrees that in fact, the empire has only been established for two years, but a series of policies have enabled the empire to quickly gain the hearts and minds of the people. The western Sichuan model of land reform allowed many landless and landless peasants to be allocated land, and the empire was supported by these peasants, who made up the majority of the country's population. The construction of a series of infrastructure and the establishment of a large number of factories have created a large number of employment opportunities and made the lives of the common people much better, which makes everyone very much identified with the empire. The most intuitive thing is that Beijing used to be full of beggars, but now there are no more. With a job and food, who wants to be a beggar?

"A group of ordinary people, unreasonable!" The old man's face was flushed and he left in a hurry. As the lives of the common people got better and better, these people who held the idea of being foolish and loyal to the Manchus were getting worse and worse.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, three cars drove out of Dongjiaomin Lane and headed for the Imperial Foreign Min. After China began to promote automobiles, these foreign embassies have also purchased this beautiful and comfortable car. "Zhonghua" brand cars have also begun to be exported to Europe on a small scale, and there is no doubt that it has caused a rush to buy. As a result, China's automobile manufacturers have begun to expand their scale, but they are still unable to meet the market demand.

At half past nine, the three cars drove to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the US Minister to China, Mr. Timber, the British Minister to China, Mr. O'Gner, and the French Minister to China, Mr. Tin Chun, jointly asked to meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang to mediate the military conflict between China and the United States.
