"Why are you separating Kashmir with the Russians? You should know that the Emperor of India is my mother, the Emperor of India is the Queen of the British Empire, and India is the most brilliant jewel in the Queen's crown! We absolutely cannot allow any country to have any interests in India, no one, no country, but once Kashmir is given to the Russians, then our interests in the Indus Valley and the Afghan plateau cannot be guaranteed, and this is a great shame for Britain! Edward stared at the Empress Dowager Cixi, "Sissi, I need an explanation from you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Empress Dowager Cixi remained silent, "There is no explanation, what the Chinese government means is my personal meaning." ”

"But we've made big concessions, Sissi, why is China unwilling to make a deal with the British?" Edward said with some pain, "As long as China and Britain join forces, I believe that no country can resist us." ”

"What I need is equal cooperation, Eddie," said the Empress Dowager Cixi coldly, "not for us to submit China to the British." ”

"There's an etiquette aspect to it, and I certainly think it's just a formality." Edward said.

"It's not etiquette, it's interests, I don't care about etiquette at all, between a big country like ours, no etiquette can compare to real benefits! When I came to London and met the Queen, I saluted first, because I had a request for the Queen. These etiquettes are not important at all, but for a country, interests are very important. If, in accordance with your country's way, the interests of Britain should be considered first and then the interests of China should be considered in everything, or in other words, the interests of China should be harmed in order to maintain the interests of Britain, I cannot accept this kind of cooperation, and I do not think that such cooperation can be realized. ”

"Sissi, I just need the integrity of India, you just need to agree to give up Burma to arrange a garrison, can't you trust my credit?" Edward said eagerly.

"This will definitely affect China's interests, and the Indochina Peninsula must not allow others to enter, and the same is true of Vietnam, and the French will definitely withdraw from it in the future." Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Just as you think India is British, I never deny that. ”

"And what's the deal with the Suez Canal stake?" Edward asked, "You said that Burma should not garrison troops, and that's okay, of course, we respect your opinion, but on the issue of shares, of course, we can continue to talk, as long as the price is satisfactory to you." ”

"Again, it comes down to Vietnam, and we need the French to make concessions in Vietnam, so I think we can benefit from selling the canal shares to the French."

"Then do not hesitate to harm the interests of our Britain!" Edward shouted in a low voice.

"Yes."

"Do you think we in England have no way to get back what we want?"

"I believe, but now Kashmir is in my hands." The Empress Dowager Cixi looked directly at Edward and said calmly.

I will be able to decide whether the Russians will be able to enter India, and I will be able to decide to whom I will give the Suez Canal, which is a crucial minority. Such a good card, the current British, here, can only retreat!

"You ......" Edward's momentum suddenly leaked, and he said weakly to the Empress Dowager Cixi, "Sissi, I took the initiative to come to China this time, the first one is to come to see you, and the second one, to be honest, it is also for our Britain, India's instability has affected the rule of other colonies, such as Boer in South Africa, there have been two military riots, India must be stable, so that Britain's rule in the world can be stable, don't say that those Chinese in the Ganges River valley have nothing to do with you, Sissi's words are all lies on the table, and we all know that those people are the ones you put out. ”

"I'm not going to admit it." Empress Dowager Cixi said.

"Whether you admit it or not, your behavior is an expression of distrust and destruction of the British-led order of international relations, and my mother believes that you will never cooperate with the British."

"This is a one-sided idea, and if I had no intention of cooperating with the UK, I would never go to the UK on the first leg of my visit, and grovel to your mother, which I have been questioned very much at home! Of course, you can also say that this is just etiquette, but what about the actual benefits? You have always been unwilling to give us the most advanced weapons, the most advanced machines and the most advanced warships, and we are willing to pay you a lot of money, are you still unwilling to give them? And opium, for so many years, from the war in 1840 to now, for more than half a time, you have been exporting opium to China, even if I came to Britain in person, you are still unwilling to solve this problem, I have to spend money to transfer these opium to other places, don't tell me, you don't know the ghosts that the British consul did in Xinjiang, these things do not mean that Britain has taken precautions against me, but you have never thought of taking the right approach to China, What you're doing is probably trying to turn China into the next India! ”

"Of course, I think many things are wrong, so I came here personally," Edward did not refute, after all, some things are British national policy, and they are definitely not something that can be criticized by a **** of his own, he can only base himself on the present, "This is the first time I have solved foreign affairs, I want to do him well, Sissi, no matter what happened before, we hope to do the next thing well, I am willing to have good relations with China, so, your opinion is very important, I want to hear your real thoughts." ”

"What I need, the Prime Minister's Yamen has already made it very clear, and I have no other opinions."

"Then China will definitely give the French a stake in the Suez Canal?"

"So far, yes."

"And Kashmir to Russia?"

"At the moment, I don't think I'm changing my mind."

"The first time I accepted foreign affairs, I thought that when I came to China, you would help me," Edward slowly stood up and looked at the Empress Dowager Cixi silently, with a complicated expression, "I didn't expect you to prepare such a big surprise for me, We\'refriends, arenotyou?"

"Yes. We are friends, and this is only between individuals, but there is no friendship between countries," the Empress Dowager Cixi said coldly, "We are willing to help and cooperate with Britain, which is based on not harming China's interests." (To be continued.) )
