British Foreign Secretary Henry. After Viscount Temple and Xinhua's Foreign Minister Lin Zihao reached an agreement on peace negotiations, the draft agreement was sent back to Britain as soon as possible. The British Navy sent a fifth-class warship to transport the draft agreement. At the end of February 1844, they sent the draft to London and handed it over to Prime Minister John Brown. In the hands of Sir Russell.

After getting the draft agreement, John. Sir Russell immediately convened the Cabinet meeting. Several cabinet ministers attended the meeting to discuss the draft. Although Foreign Secretary Henry. It took a lot of effort for Viscount Temple to reach an agreement with the Xinhua side, but whether the treaty could be signed or not had to be decided by the cabinet and the British Parliament. Henry. Viscount Temple, just doing his best to reduce the losses of the British.

"Gentlemen, have you all read this draft? Now, let me share your opinions. Are we going to accede to these conditions put forward by Xinhua and sign a peace treaty with them? "John. Sir Russell said, his face expressionless and unbeknownst to him what was going on in his mind. I don't know John. What is Sir Russell's attitude towards this draft?

Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles. Lord Wood, Lord of the Admiralty, William. Sir Parker and War Secretary Thomas. Sir Grosvenor, none of the three wanted to be the first to speak. After all, this treaty was undoubtedly a humiliating treaty for Britain, and it was not only defeated by Xinhua. On the contrary, he also lost two important colonies, and finally had to pay a huge war reparation to Xinhua. After the rise of Britain, when did you suffer such a loss! This is for them and for the country as a whole. It's all a huge shame.

"Charles. Sir Wood, what is your opinion? "Seeing that no one was speaking, John. Sir Russell had no choice but to name him.

"Ahem, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think this treaty is too harsh. Xinhua not only wants to take away the Straits Settlements and Australia, but also extorts six million pounds sterling in war reparations from us. This is simply too deceitful. We can't sign this treaty, otherwise. How do we account to the masses of the people? The British Empire will also become the laughing stock of the whole world! "Named Charles. Sir Wood had no choice but to bite the bullet and express his opinion. Charles. Sir Wood's words were not wrong. The British Empire was the hegemon of the world. Now he was beaten up by Xinhua Guo. Not to mention the heavy losses, they also have to pay compensation for the land. The old rivals of the British Empire must have celebrated their success.

John. Sir Russell nodded, but did not speak, but looked at the other two.

"Your Excellency, this treaty is very unfavorable to us. Whether it is the Straits Settlements or Australia, it is very important. It was transferred to Xinhuaguo. For the British Empire, it was a great loss. The same. We can't account to the people either. "Secretary of War Thomas. Sir Grosvenor said.

"Gentlemen, you are all right. However, have you ever thought that the Straits Settlements have fallen under the control of the Xinhua Kingdom, and Australia is also under their attack, and will soon fall. We don't have enough strength to defeat Xinhua now, do we have any other way than to bow to them for the time being? "John. Sir Russell said. While this is a shame for the UK, there is no way around it. Since there is no way to defeat Xinhua Guo, it is shameful, so there is only a bow.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I fully agree with the signing of a peace treaty with Xinhua for the time being. The Royal Navy has suffered heavy losses, and it will be difficult for us to defeat the Xinhua Army, and it will be possible to defeat the Xinhua Army only after the subsequent cutting-edge warships are put into service. Until then, we all need to maintain a good relationship with Xinhua as much as possible. Otherwise, India is very likely to be attacked by the new country. And India is too far from the British Empire, and we don't have enough strength to defend it. "Admiral William. Sir Parker said. The Royal Navy has always been the guarantee of British world domination, but this defeat was mainly caused by the fiasco of the Royal Navy. As the new Lord of the Navy, William. Of course, Sir Parker wanted to be ashamed. However, the strength of the Xinhua Navy made him very jealous, and before the British Navy's new steam warships were put into service, he did not think that the British Navy had the strength to defeat the Xinhua Navy. In order to avoid another defeat and the loss of more interests, he undoubtedly agreed with the agreement reached with Xinhuaguo. This is of great benefit to the UK now.

"Hmmm! William. Sir Parker's words make a lot of sense. We can sign a peace treaty with Xinhua now, and when the strength of the navy is restored, we will have a decisive battle with Xinhua Guo! "John. Sir Russell said. It's just that he forgot about it, and the Xinhua Navy has always been developing. When the British navy regained its strength, the Xinhua navy would definitely develop even stronger. At that time, it is still unknown whether the British Navy can defeat the Xinhua Navy.

"But, Your Excellency, will Parliament approve this treaty? What will the public think? Will it pose a crisis to our regime? "Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles. Sir Wood said worriedly. After all, this is a humiliating treaty. A great disservice to the prestige of the British Empire, will the proud British people be satisfied? Will it be blamed on the head of the Cabinet government.

"Ha, Chancellor of the Exchequer, I think you're overly worried. We have just come to power, and we are just cleaning up the mess for the previous Cabinet. Who told them to lose the battle? Even if the people want to blame, it should be blamed on the head of the previous cabinet. On the contrary, we are heroes in the face of the powerful Xinhua State, which kept the Indian colonies and defended the interests of the British Empire! "Prime Minister John . Sir Russell said.

John. Sir Russell's statement made everyone's eyes shine. Yes, although this is a humiliating treaty. However, the reason for this is entirely because of the fiasco of the previous cabinet, and it has nothing to do with their current cabinet! All the responsibility can be put on the head of the previous cabinet.

"In addition, this time we have also welcomed back tens of thousands of prisoners of war and civilians from Xinhuaguo, and these prisoners of war and civilians, as well as their relatives and friends, will definitely support us. When the time comes, our party's support rate will certainly increase greatly. This is very beneficial for us. "John. Sir Russell continued.

"Haha, that's true. Your Excellency Prime Minister, we can take this opportunity to completely trample the Conservative Party under our feet! "Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles. Sir Wood laughed.

The men quickly reached an agreement to submit the draft to Parliament for consideration. In order to get through this draft, these cabinet ministers took the trouble to communicate and discuss with the parliamentarians. Although this is a humiliating treaty, many parliamentarians are unhappy with it. However, John. The senior officials of Russell's cabinet explained to the cabinet members that the main culprit for this was the previous cabinet, and that if they had not rashly launched a war against Xinhua and suffered defeat, there would be no current situation. The reason why the current cabinet did this was to defend the interests of the British Empire, otherwise India would be very likely to be attacked by the new country.

The vast majority of members of parliament accepted this statement. After all, many of these congressmen voted in favor of the last time they considered a resolution to go to war against Xinhua. Now, too, it's time for them to correct their mistakes.

The previous Prime Minister, Robert Brown. Sir Peel and the members of the Cabinet have undoubtedly been the target of attack, even though they have resigned, but this does not exempt them from reproach, and some radical MPs have even called for a charge of dereliction of duty against Robert Peel. Sir Peel and others put them on trial and held them accountable for this fiasco. However, in the opposition of the majority, this call has not stopped.

The broad masses of people in Britain are undoubtedly very angry. The fact that the mighty British Empire lost to the Yellow Monkeys of the Far East completely turned their worldview upside down. In their opinion, such a failure is simply unforgivable. Demonstrations against the government broke out in many British cities. However, the major newspapers under the control of the government immediately took action, and they put all the on the head of the previous cabinet, so that the general public knew that they were the culprits, in order to divert the anger of the people.

John. The actions of Russell's cabinet were successful. Robert. Sir Peel and his cabinet members became street rats that everyone shouted at. And John. Sir Russell and others, however, were sought after by the people because they defended the interests of the British Empire.

The draft peace treaty was approved by the British Parliament, and Queen Victoria did not object to it. The war between Xinhua and Britain came to an end. However, everyone knows that this is nothing more than a temporary truce. After all, an even more tragic war will break out between Britain and Xinhua in the future, and the British will not admit defeat.

Xinhua won this battle, which brought great shock to the whole world. After Xinhua defeated Spain and the Netherlands, it only let the Western world know that there was a powerful country called Xinhua in the Far East. But now, Xinhua has actually defeated Britain and forced Britain to sign a treaty of humiliation and humiliation, which undoubtedly shows the world that the great power in the Far East has truly risen.
