"I agree!" Rebel Muston was the first to take a stand. "I agree!" "I agree!" Except for a few mini-principalities, Greece is one of the least threatening countries in the world to Britain, and the northernmost part of Greece's territory, only a hundred kilometers from Istanbul, does not need to occupy too much Balkan land, just need a coastal passage, everyone feels that there is no better plan than this, and they have agreed.

"Since there is unanimity, this is the end of today's meeting, and I now declare that the meeting is adjourned!" Rebel Messton was the first to leave.

Two hours later, the British Foreign Office issued a statement openly supporting the national independence and liberation movements of the Balkans and the South Caucasus, saying that it would provide full military and economic assistance, condemning the Ottoman Empire's long-term enslavement and oppression in the region, and secretly sending people to contact Greece and express its willingness to hand over Istanbul to Greece.

In exchange, Britain was allowed to lease the Golden Horn, establish a naval base, and gain control of the Bosphorus for the same period as the lease.

This is a pie in the sky for Greece, there is no need for a parliamentary vote at all, the government and the opposition are ecstatic, it is already a surprise to get Istanbul, even if it is okay to give the Bosphorus to Britain?

Greece is a country with no ambitions, the pleasant climate of the Aegean Sea makes the Greek people more focused on enjoying life, and the British fleet is stationed in the Golden Horn, which can better protect its security.

But Greece was not carried away by the ecstasy, because the Chinese navy and marines were still stationed in Istanbul, and the forces of the two armies were also moving towards Istanbul. So the deciding factor for Greece to get Istanbul is not in the UK, but in China. Greece did not dare to accept the British gift rashly.

……

"Damn the British! Istanbu and not his family, why is he. Why! "Emperor of Austria, Franz. When Joseph I learned that the British had privately granted Istanbul to Greece, he angrily smashed a crystal cup to pieces.

Princess Sissi on the side sighed in disappointment, Princess Sissi's full name is Elizabeth. Amalia. Eugenie. Feng. Weitbach, Joseph was both her husband and her cousin.

Although this man has a handsome appearance, he is mediocre, too obsessed with details, and indecisive. His only strength is his amazing ability to speak, speaking Hungarian, Czech, Italian, Latin, Greek, English and French in addition to German.

He likes to wear military uniforms. Everywhere boasted that he was first a glorious soldier of the Reich, then a noble German prince, and finally the Emperor of Austria, but he had been on the throne since the Revolution of 1848. Fled twice, and since the day of his accession to the throne, he has struggled in the cracks of the great powers. To the west were mighty Prussia and France, and to the east were Russia. There are also complex ethnic conflicts, riots in the country. and the bourgeois revolution.

He never won a single victory, not only was the expeditionary fleet completely wiped out by China, forced to apologize to China, signed a series of treaties that were not humiliating but also disgraced Austria, and was defeated by the combined forces of France and Sardinia in the war in northern Italy, permanently losing northern Italy.

In the court, Princess Sissi developed an unrestrained personality because she came from the Bavarian countryside, which made the Queen Mother Sufi, who was strict and had always used medieval standards to restrain herself, disliked her very much, and her husband could not help because of his wooden personality, which made her gradually begin to escape from court life and become more and more dissatisfied with her husband.

Look at the people, the emperor of China, the emperor of France, even the half-dead Russian emperor who has been tossed by China in recent years, is much stronger than her own, at this time, she is very dissatisfied with Joseph's great loss of manners.

"Your Majesty!" Princess Sissi couldn't help but say: "Now our country is tense with Prussia because of the belonging of Holstein, and war will break out at any time for the dominance of the German Confederation, so we should no longer be enemies of Britain, even if Britain does not have any reason at all, you should hold back, I suggest that you immediately send capable men to Istanbul to meet the Chinese emperor, express our sincerity, and strive to gain control of Istanbul from China." “

Only then did Joseph calm down and asked: "China has never had any dealings with China, but Britain and France have close contacts with China, and China, Britain, the United States and Italy have also imposed trade sanctions on our country, how can China give up Istanbul to us?" “

Princess Sissi said lightly: "It's man-made, even if you don't succeed, at least you have worked hard, it's better than doing nothing." "Then who will you send?" Joseph asked again.

Princess Sissi was speechless, but she could also understand that Wang Feng was famous in the Western world, and no one was sure if she wanted to take something from him for nothing, including the old foxes in Britain, no one could please her, and the Austrian Empire was conformist and conservative, and it was difficult for such a person to talk about it from Wang Feng.

The palace fell silent, this candidate for a visit must be cautious, because if it fails, it will not only be difficult to get by, but also have an adverse impact on the future of the empire, and it took a long time before Princess Sissi gritted her teeth and said: "Either I will go, I will visit Istanbul on behalf of Your Majesty and meet with the Emperor of China." ”

"You? Don't be kidding, Istanbul is so messy, what should I do in case of an accident? Joseph looked at Princess Sisi in surprise for a long time before he spoke.

Princess Sisi said with a straight face: "I believe that the Chinese will protect my safety, and the last time Queen Victoria visited China, didn't there be no problems?" Not to mention that it is not far from Vienna to Istanbul, Your Majesty, you should believe me, have you forgotten how the Hungarian people welcomed me when I visited Budapest? “

Joseph was still a little uneasy and said, "Then what are you going to talk about with the Chinese emperor?" ”

Princess Sisi pondered for a while, and then said: "There are three main issues, the first is the ownership of Istanbul, I hope you can authorize me to be the plenipotentiary, the other is to try to obtain China's support against Prussia, and the third is to negotiate with China and Britain to lift economic sanctions against our country." "Okay, then...... I'll leave it to you. Joseph was still very clear about his queen's ability, and after thinking about it, he finally agreed.

"Your Majesty, please prepare early." Princess Sissi gave a graceful squat salute and walked away with the hem of her skirt.

On the same day, the Austrian Empire announced that it would send a delegation headed by the Empress to Istanbul to seek a meeting with Wang Feng and conduct further consultations on friendship and trade between Austria and China.
