"The historical trend of Westerners' domination of the world will not change, and I believe that Ambassador Albert, like me, should have insisted on this relationship, but what we see today is the majestic and tough Chinese army, apart from the ridiculous braid on the back of their heads, do you think there is any difference between it and the modern armies of Western countries? Therefore, I have a question, so what ways do we need to curb the Chinese's current strong military power and aggressive behavior around Asia? Wade's eyes sparkled in the darkness, as if he were a panther bent on delivering a fatal blow to his prey at any moment, "So I approve of your country's actions in Vietnam, but these words will never appear in an official setting, and I will not admit to such talk."

"Thank you, Ambassador, for your support, and if we expand the war, I request that your military port in the Strait of Malacca be lent to us." Albert hurriedly made his own request.

"Of course, of course," Wade said tactfully, "we British are peace-loving, and our ports will be open to any country as long as he can pay the fee." Good night, Mr. Ambassador. After he finished saying this, he closed the carriage door, the carriage drove away, Albert took a deep breath, he had been in this mysterious country in the Far East for a long time, dealing with the sinister and cunning Chinese, it was indeed a little exhausted, he turned around and looked at the majestic palace of the Old Summer Palace under the candle flames, the dark night was extraordinarily terrifying, and the Chinese must pay the price for this arrogance and trickery. These were the words Albert said firmly to himself when he left the Old Summer Palace.

Albert, who was originally very calm and advised himself to be calm and composed, did not even receive orders from home for his next diplomatic move in a few days, but he received a very bad news, which made him can't help but burst into a rage and roared loudly in the embassy: "What! China took back the Suez Canal share negotiations! ”

"Yes," said his attendant helplessly, "the Chinese Prime Minister Yamen sent a note that the negotiations on the Suez Canal were terminated because the Chinese envoy was assassinated by the French in Vietnam, which had seriously affected Sino-French relations. ”

"Termination?" Albert clutched his chest, his heart throbbing, "Isn't it interrupted?" ”

"Yes, they have decided not to continue to negotiate with us about the ownership of the Suez Canal shares, and I have clearly asked the French stock Zhang Jing." The chamberlain said in frustration that the stake in the Suez Canal was at stake in France's supremacy on the European continent, which was far more critical and important than a tattered Vietnam.

"No, no, no," Albert could not accept this matter, obviously the Chinese have always been very interested in using France to help resist British pressure, in this regard, if the French can get a controlling stake in the Suez Canal, then there is no problem with being used as a gun by the Chinese, no matter how close the ally, it cannot be against the huge conflict of interests. "I'm going to immediately ask to meet Master Guo of the Prime Minister's Yamen, these damn capricious Chinese, Oriental people are all a virtue!" The Vietnamese are like this, and so are the Chinese! Albert roared loudly, "There's no way they're going to abandon us like this!" We're still talking! ”

"Sir, if the Chinese use the incident of the envoy who died unexpectedly in Hue City as an act of terminating negotiations with us, this is no problem at all, because nominally, we have seriously infringed on China's interests."

"That Chinese could not have been killed by us French!" Albert grabbed his hat and rushed out of the embassy, now for him, the issue of Suez Canal shares is the most critical, why has it been negotiated for so long and has not been taken down, the only reason is that Albert hopes that the military operation in Vietnam will pressure the Chinese to reduce the price of equity transfer, not not want, at this time Albert really regrets it in his heart, if he didn't care about the price of millions of francs, Now the controlling stake in the Suez Canal is firmly in the hands of France, and even the British will never be able to compete with their influence in the Middle East! "The death of that envoy was an accident! I even suspect that the Chinese themselves have a greater motive for committing the crime! ”

"Sir, this statement of yours will not be recognized by the Chinese, and the international community will not be the slightest interested in this statement, our fleet did swagger to Hue City to sign a treaty with the Vietnamese after this envoy was assassinated, we have this motive, and the benefits will be presented later, only France will do such a thing."

"But this incident also led to the entry of the Chinese army into Vietnam!" Albert got into the carriage, and the carriage quickly drove towards the Prime Minister's Yamen, "Now it has also led to the miscarriage of the transfer of shares in the Suez Canal, and we in France are the ones who suffer the most!" ”

The collapse of this matter means that the diplomatic activities in Beijing have completely failed, and the old men of the domestic parliament will completely question their diplomatic ability, even if Prime Minister Jouferi is his good friend, he will not always be responsible for endorsing an ambassador who has been failing!

The assassination of the envoys in Hue City and the fiasco of the military operation in Beiqi can be said to have nothing to do with themselves, but the problem of the Suez Canal shares, that is, he is fully responsible, Albert will regret his short-sightedness and stupidity very much, and the shares of the Suez Canal are not measured by money at all!

The carriage arrived at the Prime Minister's Yamen at once, Albert anxiously got off the carriage and walked up the steps, although it was a request for a meeting without prior notice, but now China and foreigners negotiate, it is easy not to be more serious in etiquette, so Albert was invited in very smoothly, waiting in the flower hall, the French Zhangjing Wang Yang Bing walked in and greeted Ambassador Albert, "Mr. Ambassador, I remember that Master Guo has made it very clear that after the assassination of Ege, the diplomatic channel between China and France is basically frozen, Even if you personally ask to see Lord Guo, Lord Guo will not see you, not to mention. Wang Yangbing said with a smile, the smile on his face, Albert couldn't help but punch Lord Guo, "Lord Guo is very busy, and now he is communicating with British Ambassador Wade for the issue of Suez Canal shares."
