"Bang bang." Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door, and Sir Jurdian came back to his senses.

"Come in." Sir Jurdian said. He knew that it must be that the new cabinet in the country had made a decision, and that the order had already been issued.

Sir Jurdian's secretary walked in: "Your Excellency, an order from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

"Hmm!" Sir Jurdian nodded, took the telegram, and read it.

However, after reading the telegram, Sir Jurdian's face was a little unpleasant. Although, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked him to approach the Chinese government to seek a possible peaceful solution to the conflict. This did not surprise him. However, the conditions put forward by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made him a little unacceptable. This time the war was clearly a defeat for Britain. Their Royal Navy's expeditionary fleet, suffered a crushing defeat. Under such circumstances, how dare the British Foreign Office put forward such harsh conditions? Do they think that they are the victors in this war?

The new foreign minister, Earl Curzon, was once the Viceroy of India. During his tenure, he once exposed great ambitions for China's plateau region. It's just that the current Chinese empire is obviously not the China of more than ten years ago. More than 10 years ago, China was backward, ignorant, and weakened to the extreme. However, the current Chinese empire is one of the top powers in the world. They had even just defeated an extremely large fleet of the British Empire. How can such a China communicate with it in the same way as before?

"Prepare a car for me, I'm going to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Sir Jurdian said.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The secretary nodded, and immediately went to get ready.

After the secretary left the office, Sir Jurdian angrily threw the telegram in his hand on the desk. Obviously, he was extremely disagreeable with the conditions put forward by the British Foreign Office. think if those conditions are put forward after that. It will only lead to the collapse of peace talks between the two countries.

However, he is only a small ambassador to China, and obviously has no ability to change the decision of the British Foreign Office and the British Cabinet. The only thing he could do was to get as many benefits for Britain as he could.

Soon, the secretary had the car ready. Sir Jurdian got into the car and left the embassy. Go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire.

From the British Embassy in China to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the distance is not far. If the road is not congested, it will only take more than ten minutes. Of course, Yanjing, the largest city in the Far East, has begun to experience traffic jams due to the continuous increase in car ownership. The Yenching city government and the Imperial Ministry of Transportation are already planning to expand transportation in Yenching to solve the congestion problem.

In Sir Jurdian's view, this is a complete manifestation of economic development. The current Chinese Empire. It's no longer that poor country. Although, in terms of per capita income, it may not be ranked among the top in the world. However, in terms of the overall economic strength of the country, even the British Empire cannot compare with it. In just over a decade, the Chinese Empire has undoubtedly created a great economic miracle.

However, this is not good news for the UK. It's not something they'd like to see. At least, the Royal Navy has now tasted what it will be like for China to become stronger. The Royal Navy lost so many capital ships. Undoubtedly, it sets off how powerful the Chinese Empire is.

Sir Jurdian has walked this road countless times. But each time, it will give him different feelings. When the Manchu Dynasty still existed, those Chinese looked at the carriage of the legation, and their eyes could not help but show awe and fear. This made Sir Jurdian very satisfied. In his opinion, this is a symbol of the strength of Britain.

But with the establishment of the Chinese Empire. And as it became stronger, the eyes of those Chinese who looked at the embassy car became more and more disdainful. Just like now, after the British Navy suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Chinese Navy, many Chinese looked at the car of the British Embassy with even more contempt. This was unacceptable to Sir Jurdian.

He had also heard the saying that the British were only a little stronger in the navy. Now that the British have lost even their navy to China, what is there to be afraid of? Sir Jurdian was very angry about this statement, but at the same time he felt very helpless. After all, there is really nothing in Britain today that can make the Chinese Empire afraid. On the contrary, Britain was afraid that the Chinese Empire would take advantage of this victory and take action against Britain's vast colonies. Therefore, the proud British Empire also had to compromise and bow its head.

In his thoughts, Sir Jurdian's car arrived at the Imperial Foreign Office. Because I have already contacted the Imperial Foreign Office before. Therefore, the secretary of the Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi was already waiting for him at the door.

"Hello, Your Excellency. Adults are already waiting for you in the office. The secretary said with a smile.

"I'm tired." Sir Jurdians nodded.

Immediately, Tang Shaoyi's secretary led Sir Zhu Erdian into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and walked towards Tang Shaoyi's office. Along the way, many staff members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saw Sir Zhu Erdian, but everyone looked at his diffraction, which made him very uncomfortable.

Finally, I arrived at the door of the office of Tang Shaoyi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire.

"Hello, Your Excellency." Tang Shaoyi stood up from behind his desk and welcomed Sir Zhu Erdian's arrival.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary." Sir Jurdian had a humble smile on his face.

After that, the secretary brought tea and left. He knew that these two must have something important to discuss.

After Tang Shaoyi and Sir Zhu Erdian exchanged pleasantries, they immediately got to the point.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the British Government considers that the conflict which is currently breaking out between the British Empire and the Chinese Empire has seriously affected the peace of the world. This is also a great damage to the traditional friendship between our two countries. Therefore, we hope that this conflict can be brought to an end and that our two countries can return to peace. The British Empire believes that this is very good for both of us and for our people. Sir Jurden said.

This is the so-called face of a big country, even if you want to compromise and bow your head, you must have a high-sounding reason.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese Empire has always been a peace-loving country. In this conflict with the British Empire, we are also passive. It would be great if the conflict could be ended. Tang Shaoyi said.

Although, for letting Britain go this time, many executives of the Imperial Cabinet are a little unwilling in their hearts. However, they know that there is no way around it. Failure to do so would have an even greater impact on the future of the Empire.

Sir Zhu Erdian nodded: "It would be great if the Chinese Empire could have such an idea. As an expression of our sincerity, the British Empire is willing to recognize the suzerainty of the Chinese Empire over the Kingdom of Iran. We hope, however, that the Chinese Empire will guarantee that it will not expand into India through the Kingdom of Iran. The pattern of power in South Asia must be ensured. ”

Tang Shaoyi sneered in her heart, the British are too good at being generous to others. The Chinese Empire had already completely occupied Iran and advanced all the way to the border between the Kingdom of Iran and India. The British clearly had no choice but to recognize the power of the Chinese Empire over the Kingdom of Iran. But now, they think it's their sincerity, which is ridiculous.

"Your Excellency, the Kingdom of Iran was originally a vassal state of the Chinese Empire. No other country can change this. Tang Shaoyi insisted.

Sir Jurdian was a little dissatisfied, but he did not continue to dwell on this issue. He knew that if he continued to entangle, it would only lead to an early breakdown of their peace talks.

"Your Excellency, the British Empire wishes to put an end to this conflict, in any case. About this large-scale clash between the navies of the two countries, it was a complete misunderstanding. However, the British Empire lost 23 capital ships, 12 heavy cruisers and cruisers of the first rank, as well as a large number of light cruisers and destroyers. Of these, five battleships were captured by the Chinese Navy. We hope that the Chinese Empire will be able to return the captured warships and compensate the British Empire for its losses. Sir Jurden said stiffly.

These unthinking conditions were all put forward by the British Foreign Office. Sir Jurdians had no choice but to bite the bullet and state these conditions. Personally, he believes that if he wants the Chinese Empire to agree to such conditions, unless the leaders of the Chinese Empire are fools. But is this possible?

Britain lost so many warships that it could only be regarded as deserving of it. If you want China to make reparations, then the part-time job is an international joke. As for the five battleships captured by the Chinese Navy, I am afraid that they have long been in the pocket of the Chinese Empire. If you want them to spit out the fat in their mouths, how is that possible?

"Your Excellency, did I hear me right? This is the condition for the British government to end the conflict? Tang Shaoyi asked with a surprised expression. Although, the Chinese Empire was intent on sparing the British. However, the premise is that the British must be interesting! Now it seems that the British have not yet figured out the situation.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, this is the condition of the British Empire." Sir Jurdian said.

"Well, Your Excellency, if that's the case, then I don't think there's any need for us to talk about it today. The British government is so insincere. The smile on Tang Shaoyi's face completely disappeared, and she said coldly. In his opinion, the British are clearly too whimsical. (To be continued.) )
