"Yes," said the Empress Dowager Cixi, who poured herself a cup of coffee, added a lot of milk and sugar cubes, stirred a few times with a silver spoon, stood up, walked around the oval table, and walked to the fireplace, which was a Western-style lounge, everything was in the Western style, the fireplace, the long table, the soft sofas and chairs, the corners were also filled with flowers, the windows had flannel curtains, the fireplace was lit with charcoal, it was very warm, there was an oil painting hanging on the fireplace, the Empress Dowager Cixi held the bone china cup, and said to Edward"You and I are here to prove that we really want to solve this problem.

"I've always had this sincerity," said Edward Muran, "especially after you mobilized the Russians and the Germans. ”

"You come and go, that's how you make moves with each other," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "Okay, although we don't have to talk about specific things, but the general direction must be for you to decide, otherwise I won't force you back from Rehe, so I want to ask you a question: Eddie, do you want Kashmir?" ”

In the face of Guo Songtao's question, "The channel of the Suez Canal will be navigable in a few days," Bazali replied with gritted teeth, "This is the time provided to me by the Egyptian side." ”

"How many days? How many days is it? Guo Songtao said with a smile, "Our Queen Mother needs your country to provide an accurate time, because she really wants to see this super giant warship that belongs to China, and I believe she will pay all the price for this." ”

"What is the cost?" Bazali asked.

"I'm going to ask the Russian fleet to escort it across the Suez Canal," Guo Songtao said with a smile, "because isn't the Russian fleet near the Sinai Peninsula?" It just happened to be on the way. ”

This is a provocation by Hongguoguo, but Bazali has to say that this is a very crucial threat, and the determination of the Chinese can be seen, and they have paid a great price for the help of Russia and Germany. Bazali had no choice but to pretend to flip through the text, "Fifteen days later it will be the rainy season, and the silted river will rise." When the time comes, I believe that your ironclad ships will be able to sail freely out of the Suez Canal. ”

"Thank you very much," Guo Songtao said with a smile, "Then we can talk about other issues." ”

"And when will the Russian fleet leave the Sinai Peninsula?" Bazali asked, "I have to say. The presence of the Black Sea Fleet affected normal trade and trade in the Suez Canal. ”

"This is Russia's internal affair, we cannot interfere, and we do not have any right in Egypt to declare or advocate for Russia's departure."

"The stake in the Suez Canal is also part of your country, and of course your country has an interest here," Bazali immediately said. "Although there is now the issue of share transfer, of course your country has economic interests in this place."

Bazali bites the word "economic interests" very hard, and the subtext is that China should not want to obtain any political benefits here now, Guo Songtao understood, nodded, "Then we will jointly issue a note with your country to make Russia pay attention to the fact that his military action cannot affect the peace and stability of the Sinai Peninsula and even the Suez Canal, if your country needs us to do so." ”

The two sides tacitly did not talk about the matter of the Chinese selling the shares of the Suez Canal to the French at this time, and the matter should be solved one by one, and the first thing to be solved now is the normal navigation of the Suez Canal, so that the Russian fleet can leave this sea area. This problem has almost been solved.

"Then let's talk about Kashmir," Bazali nodded, changing the subject, "We disagree with the division of this place. ”

"There is nothing to discuss in Kashmir." Guo Songtao rejected Bazali's proposal, "This land has always belonged to China, this is a problem that has been determined many years ago, if it is ownerless land, of course we can use it to discuss the ownership of this land, but this is China's land." That means," Guo Songtao looked at Bazali and Jacob, "and we can give it to whoever we want." ”

Bazali was displeased. Guo Songtao changed his tone, "Of course, India belongs to the United Kingdom, there is no doubt about it, India and Kashmir share a border, so of course your country can provide advice." Guo Songtao smiled and saw Bazali who softened his expression. Today we have come to listen to your advice. ”

"We can't accept the Russians into this area," Jacob said bluntly, "India can't accept the intervention of other countries, Kashmir is either China, or Britain, and it is impossible to accept the existence of other third countries." "The British's proposal is quite generous, of course, based on finally facing up to China's strength. I don't know how many people have been sleepless all night and have been contacting and communicating with all parties to negotiate concessions and transfer interests, which has been exchanged for seemingly very kind suggestions.

"This proposal before, of course, was feasible, but now it may not be reached," Guo Songtao nodded, "Your country's request is of course reasonable, but your country should also think that there is no free lunch in the world, and the reason why the Russians are willing to negotiate with us on the territorial issue of the North Sea is to help us in other places," Guo Songtao said vaguely, but who does not know that the Black Sea Fleet outside the Suez Canal was invited by the Chinese to exert pressure. "With such a great show of sincerity, we have to pay the price, so what is the price?" "Of course, it's the division of land here in Kashmir. ”

"We are firmly against it!" Bazali said loudly, spreading his hands, "We absolutely cannot accept Russians entering Kashmir." ”

This is absolutely not, the indigenous forces of Afghanistan have long been eye-to-eyed with the Russian Turkestan Governor's Palace, secretly interacting with each other, but the Russians lack the highland stronghold to enter South Asia, if the plateau and mountains here in Kashmir are occupied by the Russians, then Russia firmly occupies the commanding heights here, Afghanistan to the west, and the unobstructed Indian mainland to the south, from a purely military point of view, large-scale cavalry can rush to the entire Indian continent within a month.

"Of course, we are here today to listen to your country's opinions, so of course this plan will change," Guo Songtao flipped through the text, "Page 8, please." ”

"On the issue of the territorial division of Kashmir......" the two sides began negotiations.
