Albert cleanly rejected the invitation of the Japanese, what are you kidding, a country that can't even afford a 7,000-ton ironclad ship, wants to talk about cooperation with us on an equal footing with France? France is not stronger than before, but it will not say that it needs people from a yellow-skinned country to help it, and the pride and honor of France will never allow Albert to do such a thing.

However, he turned around and took a piece of bread and ate it, watching Prince Edward of Britain talking with Prince Gong and others very happily and thoughtfully, and he had already made up his mind in his heart, and when the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday passed, he would immediately urge Premier Yamen to start negotiations on the issue of Suez Canal shares.

"Personally, I don't think we should continue to dwell over the stake in the Suez Canal at this time," Edward instructed Undersecretary Bazali, "and we are now about to get the southern part of Kashmir, which means that we can guarantee the integrity of India, and other issues can be put aside for the time being." ”

"But the Ganges valley is also very critical," Bazali, although he carried out Edward's orders to the letter, but still raised his doubts, "and the Suez Canal shares, we must continue to negotiate with the Chinese." ”

"I have been promised that the Empress Dowager of China will definitely give us a relatively satisfactory answer in these two matters," Edward said with a smile as he looked at the Empress Dowager Cixi who came over, "Sissi, we talked about the Ganges River valley. ”

"They will be like princes in other parts of India, but they will keep their arms and submit to the jurisdiction of the Indian governor of the British Empire," the Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at Edward, her eyes fluttering, "I don't know this condition, do you approve of it?" ”

Bazali was a little surprised. "Dear Queen Mother, do you mean to make them part of British rule?"

"Yes, they just need a place to survive, because they didn't know each other. I thought that your country could not tolerate them in India, but now that I have heard the voice of His Royal Highness, I believe that your country is not willing to make a big move in India, and they are not willing to shed their blood for a small piece of habitat. Both sides have this idea, and I believe that as long as we sit down and negotiate, everything can be resolved. ”

Bazali asked suspiciously, "Queen Mother, can you guarantee that those rebels are reliable?" ”

"I can't guarantee the actions of people who aren't mine," the Empress Dowager Cixi said tactfully, "but I can help," the Empress Dowager Cixi raised her glass, "after all, we are all yellow like them." ”

Yes, all sinister and cunning yellow people. Bazali's face was wooden, but his heart was scolded, of course, such a promise can almost guarantee that those Chinese in the Ganges Valley will not do anything again, but such a result is not what the British want most, the British most want the result is to station troops in Burma and then eliminate the Chinese in the Ganges River Valley, completely clean up this area, and use bloody means to deter the indigenous princes of India, clear India, and then extend their claws to Burma. Obtaining outposts in Indochina is the best outcome, rather than an awkward and aggrieved argument about what to say, and the establishment of a self-governing princely state following the example of the indigenous princes of India.

Jacob was silent. Cixi saw that these people in front of her were not very satisfied with the solution and result of this matter, and said with a smile, "It is difficult to achieve satisfactory results in things in the world, but we can pursue a slightly satisfactory result, just like the visit of your prince to China, which not only solved the problem of the Ganges River valley." Isn't it a good thing that I unexpectedly got a large piece of Kashmir's territory? ”

"In this matter, we are indeed grateful to the Queen Mother, and you have helped our three countries to divide their spheres of influence in Asia, so that the disputes between China, Britain and Russia in Asia can be greatly reduced in the future." Bazali raised his glass and toasted to the Empress Dowager Cixi, "Thank you for presiding." ”

This thank you is heartfelt, why does the signing of a small Kashmir territorial division agreement between the three countries make the faces of the ambassadors of each country change drastically? The reason is not only that Kashmir's location is crucial, it is the gateway to South Asia, but also the main route to Central Asia and West Asia.

This division also indicates that China, Britain and Russia have divided the distribution of their respective forces in Asia, with Kashmir east of China being China's sphere of influence, and China itself containing many vassal states.

To the north of Kashmir is Central Asia, which is Russia's sphere of influence, and to the south is the Indian subcontinent, of course, the territory of the British Empire.

"Don't be too polite," the Empress Dowager Cixi and Bazali clinked their glasses, "This is the inevitability of history, I believe that such a division can ensure the simultaneous existence of the interests of all parties to a certain extent, and I have always believed that it is more appropriate to solve the problem through negotiation than through war." ”

The British originally occupied India, and now they have Kashmir, so it is more convenient to govern and suppress Afghanistan, and Edward is also very happy, "This is entirely due to Sissi." ”

"And what about the issue of shares in the Suez Canal?" Jacob, who was watching the conversation scene with cold eyes on the sidelines, suddenly spoke, "If your country must discuss the issue of share transfer with France, I am very sorry for this, and your country may continue to be disappointed in this place." ”

The British had frozen the gains from China's shares and expelled the representatives of the Chinese shareholders who worked at the Suez Canal Company, which was certainly not a trivial matter, but the Empress Dowager Cixi was confident and unfazed, and she said to Edward, "I have a promise to you. Eddie. ”

"Yes," said Edward, bowing slightly, with a smile, "I know your promise, so I'm sure I can support you in this matter." ”

“what？” Bazali glanced at Jacob on the side in disbelief, only to see that Jacob also had a surprised expression, Prince Edward would actually endorse the Queen Mother of China?
