This is obviously a huge victory for the British government, and it is also another historic peak of Wade's personal political career, through his diplomatic manipulation, the crisis was successfully resolved, and the ambassador of this era is far less important than that of later generations, because of the limitation of distance and the inconvenience of transportation, many things are not just reported to the government, the ambassador must be in accordance with his professional knowledge, and diplomatic relations, and a lot of contacts, to properly all kinds of emergencies, Wade through such means, It was just a matter of expressing its displeasure, and adopting a little military means, and arranging for the warships there in Hong Kong to make a slight move, forcing China to publicly declare that it would never seek maritime interests in the Indian Ocean.

French India is only a few coastal locations on the east coast of India, the place is not big, but it is by no means acceptable to the Chinese, but the Chinese are obviously ruthless, and China under the big victory at this time can not be very offended, in fact, Wade is also very clear that at this stage, it is impossible to start a war with China because of a French India, which is a stupid idea, but Britain is also impatient to wait for China to officially enter the Indian Ocean in the future and then do any conspiracy, there is no need for that, Britain doesn't need to secretly do any conspiracy with other countries, it just needs a direct warning.

Yixuan's angry request for Britain was not very excessive in Wade's opinion, and thinking about it, Wade still felt a little guilty, "Mr. Ambassador! "We can accept your country's request not to enter the Indian Ocean, but I hope your country will stop interfering in the negotiations between our two countries!" Your country said let us clear the ceasefire, save a little face to the French government, we agreed, originally our negotiations with France, involving French India, your country also expressed protest, we also agreed, then I hope that Britain will not interfere in our negotiations again, and we will definitely ensure that Britain's interests are not violated now, better exploitation of France, of course, he was defeated, we must get the dividends of the war, this point, your country should not oppose it! ”

He said this, Wade naturally had no way to refuse, he just felt very regretful, he was going to eat the east and eat the west in the mediation, and make another amount of money, but it is obvious that the Chinese side will not give any more benefits, and the other mediator, the US government, is also very dissatisfied with Britain's tough attitude, the US ambassador said to Yixuan on a public occasion in the Prime Minister Yamen, "Any country wants to be a referee and want to play as a player, this is a very inappropriate behavior." "Secretly satirizing the British, not guarding the identity of the mediator, there is naturally pressure here, and the other Germany seems to have raised its vigilance against the British, what are you doing so hard for France? You must know that the Queen's eldest daughter is the Empress of Germany! Do you want to suppress Germany by doing such a favor to a neighbor of Germany? You must know that at this stage, the British government is not very worried about the rise of Germany, but now there are rumors in Beijing's diplomatic circles that the British government wants to try to preserve France's strength, and the purpose of allowing France to preserve its strength is to suppress Germany.

This is by no means a rumor, but a rumor from someone who has the ability to predict the future, so this is just the unified understanding of the upper echelons of Britain now, but it has not yet formed any decision documents, but no one is stupid, such behavior, indeed, and very similar, there is this suspicion.

The German side will inevitably express dissatisfaction, as far as Wade knows, the German emperor has postponed his state visit to London, I don't know if it has anything to do with this matter, any affairs in the world are connected, especially diplomacy and military, diplomacy is an extension of the military, diplomacy and military are both for the national interest, at this stage such rumors, and Britain's tough attitude, will inevitably make countries mutter, Britain is not ready to follow international norms?

This is an unspeakable difficulty, so Wade had to announce on the second day, "Due to personal reasons, the British Embassy will no longer help China and France to negotiate, and I hope that China and France can quickly resolve the disputes between the two sides in a friendly attitude and continue to maintain peace in Asia." ”

Wade's withdrawal from mediation, and his interference in the Sino-French negotiations, may not seem to have much to gain, but in many cases, not suffering losses is victory.

The French are shooting themselves in the foot, Wade never pays attention to the French again, the French think they are very smart to invite the British out to help put pressure on China, this effect is indeed achieved, and the effect is very good, apparently the Chinese have not thought of replacing the French overseas colonies of French India for the time being more suitable, Syria? It is West Asia, the land of right and wrong, you can't stay longer, but the place of Africa? I'm afraid that the Chinese are even more disdainful, and the claim to this territory seems to have been temporarily contained, but the most serious thing is not this, but the British have left it alone, and France is a little panicked.

Wade's mood represents the mood of the British government to a certain extent, I am dignified that the sun never sets on the empire, it is impossible to focus on you all the time, there are so many major events in the world, and for the sake of Vietnam's small land and China has been continuing to fight, not only affecting Sino-British relations, but also the body may affect the situation in the whole of Europe, this is not good, then the next can only be helpless, very modest to leave the Sino-French negotiating table, only France continues to fight alone at the negotiating table.

The news spread to Vietnam, after half a month, the Empress Dowager Cixi's car finally arrived slowly outside Thang Long Mansion, on the north bank of the Red River, martial law has long been imposed on the river, the steamer is ready to let the Empress Dowager Cixi ferry, in the outside world rumors thundered, fell I don't know how many precious treasures, and hit I don't know how many Empress Dowager Cixi heard the news of giving up French India in Beijing, but showed a smile out, she stood on the deck, overlooking the turbulent Red River in the sunset, and behind her stood a group of ministers, " Oh, it's a pity," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with regretful words, but there was no regret on her face, "French India can't get it, otherwise we will really be able to enter the Indian Ocean, but what, if the British know that I don't want French India, then they don't know if they will jump in anger?"
