Lin Fei smiled coldly and said, "A possible means? Mr. Rogerst, why do you say so vaguely, wouldn't it be better to say that a military strike should be launched? ”

Rogers sneered and didn't speak, Claros, who was sitting next to Rogers, couldn't bear to be impressed with Lin Fei's majesty, and he said proudly: "Mr. Lin Fei, do you remember what I told you that the British Empire would give you the most severe punishment? ”

Lin Fei didn't answer, it was a tacit acquiescence, Claros smiled proudly, and said: "The most severe punishment I said is to launch a military strike, it turns out that I don't have a battleship in my hand, so what I said has no weight, but now the situation is different, we have sent the most powerful warship, if you do not obey the orders of our British Empire, our warship will beat you to your knees." ”

After listening to Claros's words, Lin Fei laughed disdainfully, laughing so much that Claros was furious, and said angrily: "Lin Fei, what are you laughing at?" ”

Lin Fei set his eyes on Adriano, who had never said a word, and said with a smile: "In military affairs, this gentleman should be an expert." ”

Adriano nodded slightly, and Lin Fei smiled: "Our warship is indeed not your opponent, but if you want us to submit, you can't rely on the battleship alone." ”

Claros rushed to the side and said, "What's not to do?" Do you remember when it was in 1840? We defended the holy free trade with our warships ... Do you remember 1860? It was also by warships that we defended the dignity of the British Empire and punished the arrogant and impertinent Qing Empire ... If you dare to disobey the orders of our British Empire, we will punish you as we did the Qing Kingdom..."

In the two Opium Wars, the Chinese nation compensated nearly 10 million taels of silver; was forced to open ports and trade with foreigners, and a large amount of opium entered China, poisoning the people; Losing the autonomy of tariffs, foreigners' goods enter China, and the tax rate has to be negotiated with foreigners; Forced to give foreigners consular jurisdiction, no matter how big the crimes committed by foreigners, the Chinese people have no power to punish...

China also ceded Hong Kong Island, Russia also seized the opportunity to seize more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land in the outer northeast, and the Old Summer Palace, an artistic treasure, was burned down.

The past came to Lin Fei's mind one by one, and his tone was a little angry, and he said in a deep voice: "Our Huaxia Empire is not a Qing country, you can use a few warships to conquer the Qing court, but don't want to conquer us with a few warships." ”

Claros smiled contemptuously, "Is there any difference between you and Qingguo? You are all black-eyed and yellow-skinned Chinese, and you all believe in a guy called 'Confucius', the only difference is that you don't have pigtail-like braids. ”

Claros laughed out loud after speaking, Rogers and his men also snickered, Lin Fei's subordinates all looked angry, Lin Fei snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Adriano, and said: "Mr. Adriano, Mr. Claros is a military blind, you should know that it is not possible to attack our Huaxia Empire by relying on warships alone, right?" ”

Adriano said coldly: "Of course I know that if we want to attack the Huaxia Empire, it is not enough to have warships, we also need an army." ”

Lin Fei turned his head to look at Claros and said in a cold voice, "Did you hear that?" This is what your own people say, if you want to attack us, it is not enough to have warships. ”

Claros slapped the table and said coldly, "Isn't it the Army?" Our British Empire has the most powerful army in the world, and the most powerful industrial system that supplies weapons and ammunition to the army. ”

Lin Fei laughed and said loudly: "Your army is indeed very strong, but my army is not weak, we can defeat the Spaniards is proof of this, you British want to win against us, without spending hundreds of thousands of people, without spending hundreds of millions of pounds, it is simply impossible." ”

Claros was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Adriano, and asked, "Is it really that hard to win against their Huaxia Empire?" ”

Adriano said expressionlessly: "Yes, it is indeed not easy to defeat them, the Chinese Empire has completely entrenched in Mindanao at this time, and it has been operating on the island for a long time, we really need some effort to win against them." ”

Claros's face showed a look of surprise, and Rogers said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what you said is right, it is indeed not easy for our British Empire to win against you, but even if it is not easy, we have to fight this battle..."

Lin Fei frowned, and first looked at the Spanish negotiator sitting on the very edge...... Governor Barak, then turned his head to stare at Rogers, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Rogers, do you really want to fight with our Huaxia Empire for the sake of the Spaniards?" ”

Rogers said firmly: "Of course... Don't forget, the Philippines was originally owned by the Spanish Empire, and your Chinese Empire is an out-and-out invader... It is incumbent upon us in the British Empire to drive out the invaders and return peace and prosperity to the Philippines. ”

Lin Fei smiled disdainfully, seeing that Rogers's brows were furrowed, with anger on his face, Lin Fei said with a smile: "Mr. Rogers, you have come from afar, I don't want to debate these moral matters with you, it doesn't matter, I believe you don't want to debate either, let's talk about interests." ”

"Interests?" Rogers raised his eyebrows and said in a skeptical tone.

Lin Fei said loudly: "Yes, it's the benefits... I would like to ask you one thing, is it really in the interests of your British Empire to fight with our Chinese Empire and do your best to win our Chinese Empire? ”

Rogers stared at Lin Fei and didn't speak, Lin Fei continued: "Mr. Rogers, I believe you know better than me about the situation in your country, at this time the ruling party in Britain is the Liberal Party, and this party advocates 'liberalism'. ”

"I wonder if I'm right, if Britain has no need to keep large tracts of colonies as before, and that as long as 'free trade' is practiced all over the world and goods can circulate freely in the world, I wonder if I'm right?"

Lin Fei is right, the British Liberal Party in this era is indeed pursuing such a policy, because at this time Britain is the most powerful industrial country in the world, and its goods can defeat any competitor, so the core of the war of the British army is no longer to fight for colonies, but to ensure the smooth flow of sea lines of communication.

Rogers, of course, knew these things, and he asked in surprise: "How can you know so well about our domestic affairs in England?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "You don't need to know this, I just want to remind you that a military attack on our Chinese Empire is not in the interests of your British Empire at all..."

Rogers said coldly: "Mr. Lin Fei, what is in the interests of our British Empire, and you don't need to make a decision, I just want to ask you, do you agree with our armistice premise?" ”

Lin Fei saw that Rogers was so tough, and he didn't show weakness, he met Rogers' gaze and said solemnly: "Do you know how much we paid to liberate Manila? The premise of your armistice is to ruin our hard work, and I will never agree to it..."

Rogers said proudly: "Since you don't agree, the only way in front of us is to go to war..."

Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your army." ”

After Lin Fei's words were finished, both sides were silent, and no one spoke for a long time, but Li Mingming, who was under Lin Fei, said first: "It seems that there is no result in the negotiation today, I propose that we adjourn the meeting for the time being, and wait until the next round of talks in the future." ”

Rogers looked at Lin Fei and said, "I agree to adjourn the meeting, what is your opinion?" ”

Lin Fei nodded and said, "I also agree to adjourn the meeting." ”

Li Ming hurriedly said: "Okay, please ask the British mission to go back and rest." ”

Rogers glanced at Lin Fei, didn't say anything, got up and left with his subordinates, as soon as Rogers' people left, Li Ming and other staff officers gathered around Lin Fei, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, do we really want to fight with the British?" "The British are very strong, and if we fight them, I'm afraid we will have to lose all our money..."

Lin Fei waved his hand, everyone fell silent, and then Lin Fei said, "I think the behavior of the British is very abnormal. ”

Everyone exclaimed in surprise and asked, "What's not normal?" ”

Lin Fei said: "It is not in the interests of Britain to go to war with us at all, why would they be so tough on going to war with us? Will the British really pay a huge price for the Spaniards? ”

At this time, Li Tianqian, a staff officer, said: "Your Majesty, I have dealt with the British in the area of Guangdong, and I know very well that the British are all unprofitable guys, and they must not have a moral reason for helping the Spaniards in this way, and as for the specific reason, I have not thought clearly for a while. ”

Lin Fei nodded solemnly and said, "There must be a secret behind the British, but what is this secret?" ”

Everyone looked dazed, and at this time, the staff officer He Kaisheng came to Lin Fei's approach, and whispered: "Your Majesty, why have you forgotten the words of our ancestors, if you want to know your confidants, you need to listen to the words behind you, Rogers has returned to the post house with people, they will definitely talk about some things in the post house, why don't we send a few clever warriors to eavesdrop on their conversation outside the room?" ”

Li Ming shook his head and said: "Staff Officer He, your method will not work at all, you look at the people in the British mission, all the monkey spirits and monkey spirits, we send soldiers to eavesdrop, how can we succeed?" ”

He Kaisheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Then Chief of Staff Li, what do you say we should do?" ”

Li Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "I don't have a good way." ”

Lin Fei waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I have a good solution." ”
