"Eddie, do you want Kashmir?"

"I never answer hypothetical questions," Edward replied, "so I refuse to answer this question, but you should know what we want." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"So," the Empress Dowager Cixi took a sip of her coffee, "then how do you want us to divide this piece of land, Eddie?" ”

"Of course, it is divided equally between China and Britain."

"I can't do this, the tentacles of Russia have reached here, and it is impossible for me not to leave a copy for the Russians."

"You brought them in yourself," Edward crossed his hands, sat on a chair and turned his head to look at Empress Dowager Cixi, and said unceremoniously, "The Chinese have an old saying called luring wolves into the house, and I think what you are doing now makes me feel that you have introduced the Russian hungry wolf in South Asia in this way." ”

"This is also just to deal with the huge pressure from Britain, the previous negotiations with Russia we just made a false shot, a counterattack against your country, but Britain took drastic measures to detain the ironclad ship we bought from Germany in the Suez Canal, so we had to turn this false shot into a real thing, in order to achieve the goal of the smooth return of the 7,000-ton ironclad ship, we had to make the original false promise true."

"It's also because you're unwilling to give up the Ganges rebels," Edward retorted, "Sissi, don't get it wrong. ”

"OK, OK," the Empress Dowager Cixi raised her other free hand to interrupt the quarrel, "Let's not use the limited time we have to meet to quarrel, I admit that we have differences, and I believe that together we can overcome these differences," the Empress Dowager Cixi approached Edward, leaned on the table, put down the coffee cup, and looked at Edward condescendingly, "I will give Kashmir to the British." This is to show the sincerity of my friendship with the UK, and also to help you, Eddie, on your visit to China. You have to get the achievement, or I'm afraid you won't be able to account in front of the queen when you return home. ”

"It was an unexpected surprise and I'm sure the whole UK will love it."

Edward looked up at the Empress Dowager Cixi, a gentle glint in his eyes, but it was replaced by indifference and firmness. "So what about the rebels in the Ganges? I prefer to see what I wanted to achieve on this trip. And not some other unexpected surprise. ”

It seems that the British still prefer to see a stable India, Empress Dowager Cixi understood, she picked up the coffee and took another sip, the coffee was already half warm, "Eddie, I'll be honest, those Chinese, have something to do with us." ”

"You're finally admitting?"

"This is in front of you, our old friend of seven or eight years, I will admit it. Yes, I let those rebels out. Empress Dowager Cixi said frankly, "This is not to provoke British rule in India, we are just to protect ourselves." ”

"I'd like to hear your explanation."

"I have to say that since the first Opium War that began in 1840, Britain's attitude towards China has been very unfriendly. And not just once, not only me, but any person of insight in China would not think that Britain came thousands of miles to be friends with China. ”

"Such a situation. Of course, we have to be on guard, but how? Our military force is not enough, and more warships have only been purchased in recent years, and if you want to prevent your country's attack, I don't need you to remind me, I understand it myself. It's a fantasy, but we have to think of a good way to deal with Britain and guard against ourselves," the Empress Dowager Cixi pulled out her stool, sat down, and looked at Edward, "Then it just so happened that Shi Dakai gave us a chance." ”

"Given a chance for you to stir up India?" Edward said displeased.

"We don't want to disturb the situation in India, just like Russia has been given land in Kashmir, and it may not be able to invade India in the south."

"But he can guarantee a geographical strategic advantage."

"Yes, we also plan to do so, hoping that Shi Dakai will maintain a certain amount of power on the border between Myanmar and India, so that your country's energy in Asia will not be too focused on China." "So in the past 20 years, there has never been anything as unacceptable to China as the Opium War, and there can be such a safe and stable situation between the two countries, and I think Shi Dakai's role is very huge." ”

"The insurgents in the Ganges Valley have been in India for a long time, which is completely different from the significance of Russia in Kashmir, and their damage has been happening for a long time, and it has happened for more than a decade, how do you explain this problem?"

"We are not omnipotent," the Empress Dowager Cixi crossed Erlang's legs, and the shoes at the bottom of the flower pot swayed, "We just know more things than ordinary people, which means that news is circulating for us, but I can't control people's hearts, so since they left the territory of China, they have actually been out of our direct control, and their life in India, in addition to part of our funding, the most important thing is that they have the ambition to establish themselves as a country, I admit, We went awry with that. ”

"Britain needs action, not apologies and explanations, then," Edward said to the Empress, "what do you do?" And I want to ask clearly what China's position is with regard to the rebels. ”

"We will close Myanmar's borders and cut off contacts, saying that we will never collude with those people." Empress Dowager Cixi said, "But the people of the Ganges Valley have already occupied that place, and we believe that their existence is still necessary." ”

Hearing the words of the woman in front of him, Edward frowned displeasurely, "This is impossible, they must leave India, or leave alive, or die, because we will do whatever it takes to maintain the stability of India, which is related to the layout of the interests of the British Empire in the world." ”

"We can guarantee the stability of India," said the Empress Dowager Cixi, slowly, "and we can restrain them, and as long as we cut off aid to Burma, the people of the Ganges Valley will no longer be a threat to India, and they must promise not to interfere with your rule, and if necessary, they can also become a small state ruled by the British Empire, and submit themselves to the viceroy of India." I believe that this will ensure stability. ”
