Lin Yuan nodded first, then looked at Gilles, Gilles also nodded expressionlessly, and Cecil said helplessly: "Can't the two sides really take a step back?" ”

Lin Yuan and Giles shook their heads together, and Cecil reluctantly closed the folder in his hand and said, "Then everyone please go back, I will have people draft a joint statement, and the English, Russian, Chinese and Latin versions of the statement will be delivered to you before ten o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

Lin Yuan and Gilles glanced at each other, but they didn't speak, Gilles stood up first, and walked out without saying a word, Lin Yuan also got up to leave, Cecil suddenly said in the back: "Mr. Lin Yuan, please wait a minute." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Does he have any tricks?" So he stopped, turned to Gilles, and asked, "Is there anything about you?" ”

Cecil smiled and said, "Tomorrow at eleven o'clock at noon, Her Majesty the Queen will hold a state meeting with you, and then there will be a luncheon for you, I hope you can attend on time." ”

Lin Yuan agreed, and then returned to the hotel, as soon as he entered the door, Shen Wanqing greeted him and asked, "What did Cecil say when he found you?" ”

Lin Yuan replied: "He still wants me to make concessions, but I won't give in to anything, and they can't do anything, so the negotiations are officially broken!" ”

Shen Wanqing asked in surprise, "Is it true?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Of course it's true, tomorrow morning, the joint statement will be sent, and when the inspection is correct, we will release this statement." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Doesn't that mean that war is going to break out again? ”

Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled: "The outbreak is certain, but it is not the most recent, in the past month, our unmanned reconnaissance aircraft have been monitoring the Russian garrison in the Far East, and there is no sign of a large transfer of personnel and materials, if the Russian army really wants to counterattack the place we have recovered, it will definitely not work without a large number of troops and materials and equipment!" Therefore, even if the Russians want to fight, they will have to wait until they have deployed their troops and supplies. ”

Lin Yuan continued: "What I'm really worried about is Mongolia, the Russians don't dare to fight us, but the troops stationed in Mongolia are all Qing court troops, their combat effectiveness is very poor, and they will definitely not be the opponents of the personal guards of those Mongolian princes who support the separatism, plus the Russians send troops to support, then Mongolia will have a fierce war!" ”

Shen Wanqing said with a smile: "I've heard that you have already let our arsenal start building tanks and armored vehicles, won't we be sure to win when the time comes!" ”

Lin Yuan also laughed, but Shen Wanqing suddenly said, "It's not good, we all ignored another possible conspiracy of the Russians. ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Another conspiracy?" What is that? ”

Shen Wanqing replied: "When we go back, we will definitely take the Russian train, what if the Russians do something on the train?" ”

Lin Yuan also frowned when he heard Shen Wanqing's words, and he said, "You have a reasonable consideration, if the Russians cause a train accident and kill all our people, our losses will be too great." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "That's right, we should think of a way to make the Russians dare not do this." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Is there any way? We certainly don't have the ability to test the train of the Russians, we are again on Russian soil, and if they want to do something to us, we have nothing to do. ”

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he began to think of a way silently, and he suddenly said: "I have thought of a way, tomorrow the Queen of England wants to see me, I will pull the royal family members into the car and let them go to China with us, and then I will find a way to let Giles accompany us, I don't believe that the Russians dare to pull in the diplomats of their country and the British royal family in order to harm me." ”

Shen Wanqing said in surprise: "You said it easily, pull in the British royal family, and let Gilles accompany you, who do you think you are?" Can British royalty and Giles listen to you like that? And the status of this royal must not be low, and the possibility of you pulling him on is even smaller. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "That's not accurate, haven't you heard that sentence?" It's man-made. ”

The next day, Lin Yuan brought the officials in the mission to the meeting hall, not long after Lin Yuan sat down, Queen Victoria walked in, Lin Yuan hurriedly took the delegation to get up to greet him, and waited until Queen Victoria sat down, everyone sat down, Queen Victoria said to Lin Yuan: "I heard that the negotiations between your country and the Russian Empire have not achieved any results, and you are not willing to give in to anything?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "If there is a country that wants to jointly manage Northern Ireland with your country, I believe your country will not give in." ”

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but this part has always asked to be incorporated into Ireland, so when Lin Yuan said this, Queen Victoria was not easy to say, so Queen Victoria and Lin Yuan talked about the economic and cultural things of both sides, and Lin Yuan said: "We China and Britain are thousands of miles apart, and I hope that the British royal family can send a representative to visit our China." ”

Lin Yuan saw that Queen Victoria hesitated for a moment, so he said, "This is my official invitation, and I will send someone to send the invitation letter later." ”

Queen Victoria nodded and said, "Yes, but the two countries are too far apart, I'm afraid there will be danger on the road." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The sea is unpredictable, I think it is still safe on land, so let's do it, it just so happens that we are also going to return to China, I think I will ask the distinguished royal family representative to return to the UK with me, and I hope that Her Majesty the Queen will come forward to tell the Russians again, let Russia send a minister to escort it, I believe there will be no problem." ”

Victoria smiled: "If I can, I also want to go to China to see it myself, but unfortunately I am too old to stand it, so I can send a prince to go, but it depends on him whether he goes or not, and I can't force it." ”

Lin Yuan agreed, the two said a few more words, and Queen Victoria said: "Okay, the luncheon is about to begin, and there will be many princes present at the luncheon, you can choose one, and if you can convince him, he can follow you to China." ”

So a waiter led Lin Yuan and the others to the banquet hall, compared to the German royal family and the Russian tsar, the British royal family is much simpler, at least in terms of food, there are no rare raw materials on the table.

Lin Yuan was looking for a target, and Shen Wanqing asked on the side, "Which prince are you going to bring to China?" ”

Lin Yuan pointed with his hand and said, "Did you see that young man, the one in his thirties who looks very burly." ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "Who is he?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "He is my target, Prince George, there may be fewer people who know the Tao in this way, he is the grandson of Queen Victoria, in our time, he was the king of the United Kingdom during World War II, and after he ascended the throne, he was called George V." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Are you sure he can be willing to go to China?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Unlike other princes, he did not receive school education since he was a child, but naval education, he used to be a torpedo boat captain in the Royal Navy, he likes things related to ships very much, and he also likes to accept and see new things, so he must be willing to go to China." ”
