Outside the Prime Minister's Yamen, Jacob and Bazali got into the carriage together, "These damn Chinese just like to look at us in person!" Jacob said in a deep voice, "Let the Germans and Russians come together to humiliate us and watch our jokes!" ”

"The dignity of our British Empire is not to be challenged," Bazali shook his head and said with some depression, "but we have to think about why they suddenly sided with the Chinese, and it is not surprising that Germany and China have always had good relations, and it is strange why the Germans changed their attitude from the beginning?" ”

Germany has always had a good relationship with Britain, and cooperated tacitly with France in the past, although there have been contradictions over the years, but after the establishment of the German Empire, Bismarck has always paid attention to domestic construction and reform, and does not seem to be very interested in the matter of world hegemony, and has never had friction with the British, and today is actually carrying out foreign traffic for the sake of the Chinese, in Bazali's impression, the Germans have never done these things!

"That's what the Chinese gave them something they couldn't resist," Jacob calmly analyzed, "an irresistible interest." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What's that interest?"

"I don't know, but if we knew about it, we wouldn't be able to persuade the Germans to change their minds," Jacob shook his head, "because the interests of a country are the interests of a great power, and we can't get them to give it up diplomatically." ”

"And what about Russia?" Three days later, Edward, who hurried back from Rehe, heard the report of two people, and was also shocked and angry, "The Russians want to turn the Suez Canal into a real backwater, and it is foreseeable that in the near future, the trade and navigation of the British Empire here will definitely be harassed!" I don't care at all about what the Chinese gave the Russians, I care now about when these damned Russian Black Sea Fleet will get out of the Sinai Peninsula! ”

Edward was furious, he was rarely so violent, so Jacob was also very awe-inspiring, "The Privy Council has sent the Mediterranean Fleet to monitor it. ”

"Surveillance?" Edward sneered, "Is there going to be a conflict with Russia?" Gentlemen, I don't think I need to remind you that the Russians can be astonishingly terrible in their fighting power in times of suffering, and this idea was confirmed by the Emperor Napoleon's invasion of Russia? Now that Russia has a new Tsar, it must be very sensitive to foreign military interference. In such a situation, I personally think that it is not suitable to send a fleet to confront Russia! ”

Jacob smiled wryly, "We contacted St. Petersburg, who refused to communicate with us. ”

"Why?"

"It was probably the ambassador in St. Petersburg who was a little disrespectful to the Russian foreign minister......" Bazali explained, somewhat ashamed and annoyed.

Edward looked at Bazali incredulously, and saw in his face that it was not a joke, "We Britons are too arrogant towards foreign countries. Edward said depressedly, "We're going to pay for it someday." ”

Bazali was a little unimpressed, so he had to open the topic, "The Chinese took advantage of the death of Alexander II to expand in the northern territories, and the Russians actually endured it, and now for the sake of the Chinese, they actually sent a fleet, I discussed it with the Privy Councillor," Bazali looked at Jacob, and Jacob nodded. "I think it must have something to do with Kashmir."

"What's the relationship?" Edward exclaimed, "Under such heavy pressure from the British Empire, do the Chinese still want to divide Kashmir to Russia?" ”

"We don't have a formal territorial claim to Kashmir," Bazali said, "and we've only been claiming on the Suez Canal and the Ganges River basin, so of course the Chinese can satisfy the Russians to a certain extent in this matter." ”

"And what about Germany?" Edward said, "Why would they help the Chinese? ”

A few days ago, in the herbs, on this day, the Empress Dowager Cixi was summoning Jonas, and when she heard Jonas's refusal, the Empress Dowager Cixi was not angry. He said with a smile, "We have always thought that China and Germany can become good partners, although the 7,000-ton ironclad ship has been parked in the Suez Canal and has not seen the real face, I have also listened to the report." Therefore, I believe in the military strength of your country, and I am very grateful to your country for bringing the officers and men of the naval division to the warship for training in advance, so," the Empress Dowager Cixi took out the booklet, "we are willing to buy some more things." ”

Jonas took the booklet and looked at it. He stood up, "Your Majesty, may I ask if what you wrote above is true?" ”

"You don't joke." Empress Dowager Cixi smiled, "Naturally, it's true." ”

"Do you want to order three more ironclads at once?"

"Yes." The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded.

"Are they all 7,000 tons?"

"Of course, we need these giant ironclad ships to protect such a large sea area," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "We ordered one before, and judging from the situation reported by the officers and soldiers on board, we were very satisfied, so we wanted to order three 7,000-ton ironclad ships at one time and allocate them to the sailors." ”

"We hope that these three 7,000-ton ironclad ships can be built immediately, and you can negotiate the relevant contract and treaty with the Prime Minister Yamen," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "The trade barriers of the British have caused great business in your country, and I believe that your country should be grateful to the British." ”

"We owe it to you, Your Majesty," Jonas straightened up and bowed to the Empress Dowager, "I'm sure you know the situation in Germany, and the unemployment rate of the workers is our greatest concern, but after careful calculation, I can guess that the unemployment rate can drop by several points." ”

"So, what are you waiting for, hurry up and sign the contract!" Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile.

"I understand what your country means," said Jonas decisively, "I will definitely spread the good news to the country, and I will protest what is happening in the Suez Canal." ”

"I believe that your country will handle this matter," the Empress Dowager Cixi got a satisfactory answer, and said with a smile, "In fact, this matter is also for the image of your country, if other countries order your country's warships in the future, and they are stopped, the world will definitely think that your country's military strength and political influence are too poor, and this kind of matter must be solved quickly, otherwise, I believe that your country's voice on the European continent will be weakened by the British."
