Chapter 645: The Crown
At this time, the Prime Minister of South Africa was naturally still Louis. Although Yang Feng is the king of South Africa, even with his current strong position, he still never asks about state affairs in accordance with the principle that a constitutional monarchy king should be, and all of them are handed over to the South African government, and the South African government only needs to give him a symbolic supply every year, with the wealth of Emperor Yang, it is impossible to care how much they supply, and the rest of the financial and tax revenues are all at the disposal of the South African government, which is unimaginable in the era of British rule.
More importantly, the gold and diamond mines in the hands of the British capitalists were all nationalized by South Africa, which made the South African people always in a state of laughter, of course, the South African people refer to whites and overseas Chinese, and their black slaves do not count. Knowing that they could sit on a gold mine worth tens of thousands of tons of gold and a diamond mine worth tens of billions of dollars, the South Africans were madly in love with their new king, and now when they heard that His Majesty needed the Star of South Africa to set his crown, what was there to hesitate, it should have belonged to the South African people.
The government of the Kingdom of South Africa immediately demanded that the British royal family return the African Star stolen from South Africa in the posture of a victorious country, otherwise, even if they signed a peace treaty with the entire Central Powers, South Africa would not stop its state of war against Britain, not only would it return the African Star, but the British government would also publicly apologize to the South African people for the massacre in the Boer War, and the executioner Kitchener must be extradited to South Africa for trial in order to comfort the tens of thousands of old and weak South African women and children who were slaughtered by him.
Prime Minister Asquith was so angry after receiving this note, now they all see that Britain is easy to bully, the Chinese bully us, and now even the cats and dogs have run to the British head to pee? But he is angry, he is really helpless against the South Africans, now Yang Feng is the king of South Africa, and behind Botha stands this terrifying evil dragon, Britain has no ability to slap out like before.
The Star of Africa is definitely going to be given. The source of the whole thing is that Yang Feng wants that big diamond, the others are just added by the South Africans themselves, this diamond is absolutely not okay, as for the last two apologies do not matter, it is absolutely impossible to hand over Kitchener, and the Boer War has been over for so many years, the peace treaty has been signed, and it was Botha who signed it back then, and the British government is completely justified even if it ignores this article.
The British royal family then announced the return of the Star of Africa to the South African government, of course, stating that it was not stolen. It was presented to the royal family by British businessmen, and the British government apologized for the harm done to the people of South Africa during the Boer War.
However, to their surprise, the South African government bitten to death and had to extradite Kitchener, if the British government did not agree, then the South African Army First Army and the South African Army Air Corps, which had arrived in Spain, would continue the war against Britain, including the continued bombing of Britain, at this time the British immediately understood that this was Yang Feng behind the scenes, otherwise where would the army aviation bombers come from in South Africa!
"It's simple. The British have always flaunted gentlemen, and I am going to find an iconic thing and completely tear off this coat of them, and erect a pillar of shame for them, which will keep stinking in the long river of history, but it is not easy to find in a world war. For all men are the same black, and no one is clean. We say that Kitchener killed tens of thousands of old and weak women and children in concentration camps, and they can also say that we burned millions of old and weak women and children with coagulation shells, but the Boer War was different. That war had nothing to do with this war, and we pulled Kitchener out for exhibition, and then it can be said that he brought the bad spirit. It was the British who brought about the bad morals. Emperor Yang explained to Zhang Quan with a smile.
In the end, all countries have to find a scapegoat in the end, since the South African people want to judge Kitchener, they naturally push the boat to take this guy out, for Emperor Yang this is only good and not bad, so why not do it?
The British insisted on not lasting a few days, after the South African Army in Spain painted ten liberators of the Chinese Army Aviation with the South African national emblem to threaten the British, and then bombed London with coagulation shells without extraditing Kitchener, the British government finally pinched its nose and agreed to their request, poor Lord Kitchener was airlifted to Spain as a victim in handcuffs and shackles, and was escorted to a South African warship in front of the camera of the People's Radio reporter and sent directly to Pretoria, But the people of South Africa did not see the scene of this guy being tried after all.
Kitchener was also a good man, so naturally he would not suffer that kind of humiliation, and this guy simply died of hunger strike on the ship.
Of course, Emperor Yang was not interested in his fate, he only knew that the big diamond of more than 3,000 carats belonged to him, originally because this super big diamond in history needed to be broken first and then processed, so in the end it could only be made into a more than 500 carats, a more than 300 carats, and there were still seven tens of carats plus a hundred small ones, but Yang Feng would definitely not do this.
Others can't decompose it directly, but it doesn't matter if you put it in the beauty avatar, you can decompose it directly as you want, at present, Emperor Yang is wearing three crowns and a certain crown, so he is ready to divide the African Star into four parts, the largest nature is inlaid in the crown of China, the second nature is in the crown of South Africa, and the third belongs to the Indian crown, it just so happens that his wife brought the Mountain of Light, he took the African star to decompose, as for the smallest one, it can only be set in the crown of the Japanese emperor.
Beijing Nanyuan Airport.
After a half-month journey of apology, the Entente negotiating delegation headed by British Foreign Secretary Sir Grey finally reached the end of its trip, and in front of the cameras of countless reporters, 20 Liberator bombers landed one after another, the first of which was naturally the landlines of Sir Gray and the French and Russian negotiators. As soon as the aerial beast came to rest on the tarmac, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials who were in charge of greeting it immediately stepped forward and, after a false greeting, Sir Grey and two other negotiators had to address the welcoming crowd around them, in short, to review the regrettable war and apologize for the trauma it had caused to the Chinese.
When Sir Grey said this, he had a kind of desire to pump his mouth, he really did not think that the Chinese had suffered any trauma in this war, the total casualties added up to less than 400,000, because there were a large number of antibiotics including penicillin, the actual death toll was less than 100,000, and this casualty was not as good as a battle among the European powers, and it was impossible to turn a small wave in a population base of nearly 600 million, which was almost like Europe without a cry.
In exchange?
He had been to China before the war, and at that time he was amazed that a newly industrialized country was rising, but this time he came to see, he simply had a feeling of reaching the age of science fiction, overlooking this ancient Beijing city from the sky In addition to the imperial city and the Forbidden City, he can also find the impression of the past, other places are completely two worlds, not to mention that the Empire State Building alone is dizzying, and there are more than a dozen such skyscrapers in Beijing City, although the height does not exceed the Empire State Building, But there is no other place in Europe that can match it.
The city surrounded by ring roads was almost entirely full of brand-new high-rise buildings, the streets were full of unheard of cars, and the planes parked at the airport were of no use.
Money, it's all our money! His Excellency the Foreign Secretary had a sense of grief and indignation at the thought of the source of the dizzying changes in this country, but he still had to put on a smiling face, knowing that these guys in front of him had sucked the blood of the British Empire dry, and they would have to suck it for sixty-six years, but he still had to praise the friendship of the Chinese people, praise China's contribution to world peace, and praise their great emperor, His Majesty, and such groveling was just to seek a trace of mercy from the Chinese.
He felt like a wagging dog now.
After a half-hour speech, or rather ordeal, Sir Grey and his delegation, arranged by Tang Shaoyi, the Chinese Vice-Foreign Minister who greeted them, boarded a car and drove to the Summer Palace, where Emperor Yang had arranged for them, where the venue for the negotiations would be. Along the way, there are naturally welcoming crowds, surrounded by military vehicles, even wheeled armored vehicles, and of course, the relatives of the fallen soldiers will inevitably run to throw a few rotten eggs at their convoy, in short, let them feel the hospitality of the Chinese, but also do not forget what their identity is.
In particular, some young students on the side of the road still held humiliating banners and other things, and even held loudspeakers to proclaim that the government would refuse the Entente's request for peace and continue the war, until they landed in the British to occupy London and burned Buckingham Palace, just like the British and French troops burned down the Old Summer Palace, which made Sir Gray break out in a cold sweat.
"Sir, is the air conditioning in the car turned on too much?" Gu Weijun, a Chinese Foreign Ministry official who was sitting in front of him and was in charge of receiving him, looked at Sir Grey, who was wiping a cold sweat, and asked very purely.
"No, nothing, Your Excellency. I was just a little flattered by the enthusiasm of the Chinese people. Sir Grey said with a smiling face.
"These young students are always too radical, but you should also understand that young people are inevitably a little bit of a dream of making a career, you don't know how enthusiastic they are to join the army, and even in the recruitment office to fight for a place in the army, but as soon as the war is over, their dreams are completely shattered. After all, peace is the most important thing, and I don't like war! What kind of fighting, can you really land in your country, and how many innocent people will have to be poisoned by the war. Gu Weijun looked at the college students who were shouting slogans on the side of the road and said casually. (To be continued......)
