"Mr. Zhu Erdian, I have always wanted a conflict with the British Empire, although we are not satisfied with the treaties you signed with the Manchus. But I think we can actually be friends, after all, you are also victims, when the Manchu robbers robbed us Chinese and sold the stolen goods without authorization, so in fact, in a sense, you are also more victims. Those thieves and robbers have sold off what is not their own, so it must be unreasonable. I think we should return things to the original owner, so that even if there is some misunderstanding, we can still be friends. ”

"But the British Empire disappointed me so much. I have always hoped that the British Empire would take the initiative to come to me and talk to me about the territory that had been leased and ceded by the Manchu Qing treaties for further consultations, and then to find a solution. But your British Empire seems to be insincere, and has never come to talk to me about this matter. You will continue to go your own way, and you will continue to occupy this Hong Kong, and you will not have the slightest sincerity to solve the problem. So I have to tell you now, I hope that your British Empire will take the initiative to cede Hong Kong, and then return Hong Kong to its original owners. ”

Wang Guorui directly summoned the British representative in China, Zhu Erdian, since the Manchu Qing had de facto perished, and only one name remained, these former ministers in the Manchu Qing Dynasty also changed their identities. Of course, at present, in fact, China and they have not carried out the so-called "establishment of diplomatic relations", but the methods are all thought up by people, for example, they soon came up with a solution, just like the so-called Taiwan method in the past, to set up some so-called offices in Beijing, and then use the so-called non-governmental organizations as a reason to be stationed in Beijing.

Although this is suspected of covering up and stealing the bell, as both parties, they don't account so much. In fact, everyone will also recognize each other's relationship, and the ministers sent by Wang Guorui are actually in foreign countries as representatives, but in fact, both sides actually recognize each other as ministers. However, the so-called contractual relationship was not fulfilled, and in fact, everyone remained the same with each other.

However, Zhu Erdian is now summoned by Wang Guorui, obviously mentioning this Hong Kong matter. This made Zhu Erdian's face even more bitter, and this kind of thing was actually something that Zhu Erdian didn't want to see. Although Zhu Erdian has long guessed that after the Chinese solve this Macao matter by force, it will inevitably point the finger at Hong Kong. Hong Kong is an important thing in China, Hong Kong can be said to be China's first leased territory, and Britain is also the world's largest power, if you can take back Hong Kong from Britain, the benefits will not be as simple as just Hong Kong.

To tell the truth, Hong Kong in this era is far from the Oriental Pearl of later generations, let alone the Asian Tigers, if you want to say that the economic value is actually not much. However, this represents a different national status, and if Hong Kong can be recovered, it means that China can be qualified to be on an equal footing with the United Kingdom. This is to recover the last ceded colony in China, and it can even boost the morale of the people in China and increase national cohesion. In any case, the reclaiming of the territory will enhance national cohesion. No matter how bad the situation is in the country, if morale can be boosted by reclaiming the territory, it will definitely increase the public support rate.

Although Zhu Erdian knew that Wang Guorui would not let go of this Hong Kong, he didn't expect it to come so soon. Originally, Zhu Erdian thought that China would wait a few days, at least until the start of the war in Europe in the future, so that they could take advantage of the opportunity. But now Wang Guorui took the initiative to ask for it, so that Zhu Erdian didn't know how to solve it.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, after all, the Qing Empire is a legitimate ...... of China recognized by the whole world" Zhu Erdian also wanted to use this to say something, but Wang Guorui refused.

"Mr. Zhu Erdian, do you want to say that all countries in the world recognize that the Manchu government as the legitimate and orthodox government of China?" Wang Guorui asked.

Zhu Erdian nodded and said, "Yes, so we think that you should inherit the legal system of the Qing Empire!" ”

"Haha, Mr. Zhu Erdian, you said that all the countries of the world recognize it, but I-don't admit it!" Wang Guorui replied.

That's what Wang Guorui said, anyway, he didn't care whether the whole world recognized the Manchu Qing Dynasty as the legitimate government of China, but he just said - don't admit it! Anyway, what if the whole world recognizes it, as long as Wang Guorui and his subordinates don't admit it, so what? What can those foreigners do?

Anyway, Wang Guorui said in a vulgar sentence, that is, I don't admit it, can you bite me? Wang Guorui did not recognize this Manchu Qing, and the whole world recognized it, which was also in vain. Wang Guorui believes that the gap between China and the West is far from as big as imagined, and if the original Republic of China overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is still a big gap between their strength and the West, and naturally they dare not deny the abolition of the treaty. However, the gap between Wang Guorui's China and the West is not so big, can the West still treat Wang Guorui as well? They just don't admit it, is he still afraid of foreigners?

As for what those foreigners can do to him, this Wang Guorui doesn't believe it. So he doesn't need foreign recognition, as long as he doesn't recognize it.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, since this is the case, then I have nothing to say! We, the British Empire, got Hong Kong, and we paid a lot to get it, and we couldn't just throw it away. This British Empire was bought by the blood shed by our British Empire soldiers, and if you just say this with your two lips and let us give it back to you, then we can't give an account to those dead soldiers. So, this matter is not discussed. Zhu Erdian said.

Wang Guorui's face suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Since this is the case, isn't there nothing to talk about?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Erdian was also a little nervous, he didn't know what Wang Guorui wanted to do.

Wang Guorui took the initiative to say: "As you said, this Hong Kong was bought by the blood of your soldiers of the British Empire. Then I would also like to tell you that there are absolutely not a few Chinese soldiers who are willing to safeguard the interests of the motherland. So I think they will not hesitate to take back the territory for the motherland when I give the order. ”

"You, are you going to war against our British Empire?" Zhu Erdian asked.

Zhu Erdian didn't expect Wang Guorui to go to war against Britain at all? Zhu Erdian knew that it was unwise for Britain to go to war with China at present, although Britain had a lot of wealth and a lot of cannon fodder. However, in the face of this result, it is obviously impossible to start a war against China, and if they want to start a war against China, logistics alone will be enough to oppress them. Although they have population cannon fodder, India has a lot of cannon fodder, and colonies around the country also have a lot of cannon fodder. But does it work? All of these cannon fodder are also unarmed.

According to the British division of labor for the world's industry, those colonies only provided raw materials and labor, and those industrial bases were also homegrown. As a result, the British wanted to use weapons and ammunition, which must be transported from the mainland before they could be given to the front-line soldiers. They had almost no industry in India, so they were afraid that the Indians would rebel and then arm themselves against the British with industrial weapons.

Therefore, this also caused Britain to be very slow to mobilize weapons and ammunition, and its transportation capacity was very poor, and there was a lot of loss. If they were facing a country like India, then they would not be afraid of anything. However, we are currently facing China, and if we start a war with China, then millions of troops may not be able to win. In particular, the logistics were enough to make Britain urinate, so the British would not want to fight a full-scale war with China.

But China doesn't seem to care, as if it is desperate for the sake of Hong Kong and the British. So they obviously told Zhu Erdian again that if the British did not agree to their conditions, then the Chinese would have to fight with them.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, is it worth it for the sake of this Hong Kong?" Zhu Erdian asked.

Zhu Erdian's meaning is obvious, he thinks that for the sake of Hong Kong, a place with little economic value, how can they attach so much importance to it? For the sake of this small Hong Kong, he actually had to prepare for war with Britain for this reason, so that Zhu Erdian didn't know what to do. In fact, this Hong Kong has no important significance for the United Kingdom, and the only meaning is the "face" of the British Empire. To say how much economic benefit there is in this is complete bullshit. Back then, Britain wanted this Hong Kong, in fact, because it wanted a transit station back then.

At that time, Britain's policy towards China was still based on commercial exchanges, and then it discovered China's weakness, so it chose to continue colonization. At first, I wanted Hong Kong, but I just wanted a transit point, not a real territorial claim. But now Wang Guorui has changed the Manchu Qing Dynasty's policy of closing the country to the outside world, so in fact, Hong Kong's status is actually very embarrassing. As long as foreign businessmen abide by the law in China, it is not a big problem, and Wang Guorui will also ask the court to protect the interests of foreign businessmen while abiding by the law. The current China is not as ignorant as the Manchus, so this Hong Kong is dispensable.

But in order to protect Britain's face, they naturally can't return it casually, otherwise how can Britain's face be released? So Zhu Erdian thinks that Wang Guorui will not be blind to this, why is he desperately trying to recapture this Hong Kong, isn't this Hong Kong also a chicken rib for China? Since they are all chicken ribs, why do you care so much and attach so much importance to them?

"Although our territory in China is large, there is not an inch of superfluity!" Wang Guorui said. (To be continued.) )
