On the morning of January 22, 1844, the British Foreign Secretary, Henry Brown. Viscount Temple sat quietly in a window seat of the hotel drinking coffee, watching the merchant ships coming in and out of the port, and he was very depressed. These merchant ships mean wealth! After the war ended, Singapore regained its prosperity. Originally, this place belonged to the British Empire, but now, I am afraid that it has to be handed over. As the attitude of the Xinhua side became more and more resolute, Henry. Viscount Temple is also feeling the increasing pressure.

The longer the negotiations were unable to reach an agreement, the longer the progress was made, the more time dragged on, the more important it was to Henry. Viscount Temple, as well as the cabinet of this term, are more disadvantaged. Henry. Viscount Temple doesn't need to think about it to know that there must have been a commotion in the country now, and the Conservatives who were ousted from power must have been attacking John. The policy of Russell's cabinet. If not properly disposed of, Robert. The Peel Cabinet is a lesson for them, and it is likely that they will step down in the same disgrace.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkeys, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, one day, you will pay for it!" Henry. Viscount Temple scolded inwardly. In fact, these words are also very appropriate for him or for the British Empire. It's just that people are like this, they can only see the shortcomings of others, but they turn a blind eye to the shortcomings of the viscount.

It was at this time that Henry. Viscount Temple's secretary hurriedly found him, seeing the anxious look on the secretary's face. Henry. Viscount Temple had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Your Excellency, this is an urgent letter sent by Lord Ellenborough, the Viceroy of India." The secretary handed a letter to Henry. Viscount Temple. From the secretary's expression, Henry. Viscount Temple knew. The secretary had already read the contents of the letter first.

"I don't have to look at it, you can sue me, what's going on." Henry. Viscount Temple said.

"Your Excellency, the navy of the new Chinese state appeared off the coast of India and shelled the coastal cities of India. In addition, they fought a battle in the Bay of Bengal with the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Royal Navy, which suffered heavy losses. Lord Ellensboro hopes that Your Excellency will be able to reach an agreement with Xinhua as soon as possible. Otherwise, Xinhua might really attack India. And now, our army in India. In the absence of naval superiority, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the attack of the Xinhua Army. In the most concise language, the secretary told Henry what was in his heart. Viscount Temple.

Henry. Viscount Temple's face was gloomy as if he could drip water, and he understood why the Xinhua side would suddenly suspend the negotiations. They've been waiting for the news. The British side took a tough line. Unwilling to compromise, they resorted to military means to deter the British, and if they did not budge, war would break out. There is no doubt that Xinhua still has the upper hand, and if the war resumes, Britain will suffer a big loss and will not be able to turn the situation around for a long time. The strictest zhòng is. Once the new Chinese army attacked India, the British people were angry. I'm afraid I'll put John right away. Russell's cabinet was overthrown.

"Those despicable yellow-skinned monkeys can only use such tricks." Henry. Viscount Temple cursed fiercely. However, he had to admit that such a trick was very useful, and at least it became the last straw that broke the camel's back, even if Henry Henry. A person like Viscount Temple, in such a situation, has to consider bowing his head.

"Give me an appointment with the foreign minister of Xinhuaguo, and I will negotiate with him!" Henry. Viscount Temple said. He knew he couldn't drag it out like this any longer. Otherwise, the situation will be even more difficult.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The secretary nodded and walked away quickly. He was very well able to understand Henry. Viscount Temple's mood right now. As an Englishman, he was also very sad in his heart. The mighty British Empire now had to bow to the new Chinese state, which caused a great blow to their pride. All along, it was the British Empire that forced other countries to bow their heads with great force. But now, all the qiē has been transferred. What they don't know, from this time on, it will happen often. Soon, they'll get used to it.

In Henry. When Viscount Temple received a letter from Lord Ellenborough, the Viceroy of India, Lin Zihao, the foreign minister of the New Zealand Kingdom, also received the news. Major General Sun Hao, chief of operations of the General Staff of the Xinhua Army, personally reported the news to Lin Zihao. Although these days have been hanging Henry. Viscount Temple, but Lin Zihao was also very anxious. He is also worried that this time the negotiations will break down, in which case Xinhua may have to fall into a protracted war.

"Lord Lin, General Lu has sent back the news that our fleet has shelled the cities off the coast of India, and the native Indian wolves have fled inland. In addition, in the Bay of Bengal, the 5th Fleet eliminated a British fleet, although there were only a dozen old warships, but it was a shock to the British. Now, the 5th Fleet continues to cruise the Indian coast, putting pressure on the Indian colonial authorities to make decisions as much as they can. Major General Sun Hao said with a smile. There is no doubt that the operation of the 5th Fleet was successful this time, and although the British Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet still has many warships, those old warships cannot threaten the security of the 5th Fleet and the 5th Fleet at all, and there is no problem at all.

"That's good! Next, it's up to the British to respond. Lin Zihao also had a smile on his face. With his understanding of the British, under the strong force of Xinhua, the British side will make the right choice. After all, if the war continues, it will certainly not be of any benefit to Xinhua, but it will be even more harmful to the British side. First of all, it is the new cabinet of this term. So, Lin Zihao is sure that Henry. Viscount Temple is bound to be under a lot of pressure right now.

"I think the British will be relentless this time. After all, there is no way they can beat us. At least for now. As for whether they will have a chance to beat us in the future, I also think that is impossible. Britain is growing, and so are we. And the pace of development is even faster than theirs. I believe that it will not be long before we will be able to truly compete with the UK! Major General Sun Hao said. He has great confidence in Xinhuaguo.

"Well, I also believe that this day won't be too long." Lin Zihao was smiling, and he was also full of hope for the future of the country. Since the establishment of the Xinhua Kingdom, it has only taken a few years to build such a large piece of land, and it has been able to defeat the old world hegemon like Britain. If someone had told Lin Zihao that there would be such a day before, he would definitely not believe it. At that time, the Lin family joined Xinhua Kingdom just to have a backer.

"Your Excellency, General Sun, British Foreign Secretary Henry. Viscount Temple sent someone to say that they wanted to be able to negotiate with us as much as possible! Lin Zihao's secretary walked in and reported.

"Haha, I'll just say it. The British can't hold it anymore, they'll bow their heads! Major General Sun Hao said with a smile.

"Well, sue the British side, negotiations begin tomorrow." Lin Zihao said that he was in a very good mood, and he knew that there should not be too many problems in this negotiation.

British Foreign Secretary Henry. Viscount Temple finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving an affirmative reply from the Xinhua side. The Xinhua side did not continue to reject him, which means that the Xinhua side still hopes to end the war. It's just that this time the British Empire may really pay a certain loss. Henry. The reason why Viscount Temple was so tough before was to minimize the losses as much as possible. I didn't expect it, but it was self-defeating. Xinhua didn't care about the strong strength of the British Empire at all, they didn't care about the so-called friendship of the British Empire at all, they cared about real interests.

On the morning of January 23, 1844, the Foreign Secretary of the New China Kingdom, Lin Zihao, and the British Foreign Secretary, Henry Brown. Negotiations with Viscount Temple continued, but this time, Major General Sun Hao, chief of operations of the General Staff of the Xinhua Army, also attended the talks.

"Your Excellency, this is General Sun, the current Supreme Commander of the Xinhua Army in Singapore. This time, he was also responsible for commanding the war between the Xinhua Army and the British Army. Before the start of the talks, Lin Zihao asked Henry. Viscount Temple introduced Major General Sun Hao.

"General Sun is really young and promising!" Seeing Major General Sun Hao, Henry. A gleam flashed in Viscount Temple's eyes. It was this guy in front of him who made the British Empire pay a heavy price, tens of thousands of British young people paid for it, and the British Empire was also slapped hard. In addition, the youth of Major General Sun Hao made Henry. Viscount Temple felt threatened. Major General Sun Hao is only in his forties, and he can serve for at least 20 years, which means that in the next 20 years, Britain may have to deal with Major General Sun Hao. Henry. Viscount Temple only hopes that in the future, the British army will be disgraced!

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Major General Sun Hao smiled. He himself asked to attend this negotiation. How could the British Foreign Secretary have to bow his proud head, and how could he miss such a historic scene? What's more, as the commander of this battle against the British army, his merits are indelible.

"Your Excellency, it's almost time, let's get started!" Lin Zihao said. (To be continued......)
