No matter how much real money is shaped, at any time, no one will be willing to give up directly, Germany is now very serious inflation, and there is an urgent need for sufficient gold reserves to stabilize prices. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info So they had to entangle with the British in southern Africa, fortunately it was not yet a tear with the British, and they did not send a regular army to wage war in Boer, so things could be reversed, but obviously the German was under pressure, more and more, so big that he could not compete with a country alone, so he needed to invite China to participate, and China was not so incapable of naval strength as before, in terms of international status, because of the victory over France, won the international status that it should have, Then Germany is willing to come to a China that has no interests on the European continent, but is an emerging country, the same ambitious, the same for territory, and has an inexhaustible desire for territory to fight against the pressure of the British in southern Africa, Li Willy did not say it, but Zeng Jize is not stupid, there is no free lunch in the world, and there is no gift for no reason, so he will give up some of the interests of the Boer region, he understands very well that this is a hot potato, and it is not easy to take.

Zeng Jize shook his head, "I admit that after I heard this suggestion from your country, I was moved, indeed, no country will refuse such a rich benefit, but," he paused, "We came to Berlin to participate in this conference on Africa, the most important thing is to learn from other countries, learn from the experience of conducting international conferences, and introduce modern, Western diplomatic procedures to China." This is one point, another idea, Minister, this is not in public, and we are not going to say anything on the scene, but our idea is to occupy a little bit of colony in some part of Africa, and the location of these areas, or the production, does not matter, as long as the status of our country is revealed. ”

"As for Boole, although I have not received a domestic order, I am basically certain that we are not willing to be too publicistic in Africa, thus affecting our interests in Asia, after all, just as your country's core interests are in Europe, our most important interests are definitely in Asia, and if we involve a lot of energy here in Africa, it will definitely affect the interests of the whole country as a whole."

Zeng Jize's words were very direct, and a look of disappointment flashed on Li Weili's face, "Of course, we must respect your country's own national policy, but I personally believe that the interests in Africa also have a great impact on your country's global strategic layout, which is a policy that can only be effective for a long time, but now the opportunity is the best, and now it has been identified that the most complete and extensive land in the world is the African continent, and I personally think, of course, the Far East, The islands in East Asia are also very important, but the land here in Africa is the richest virgin land, which is the greatest gift God has given us now, and I miss this opportunity, I don't know what kind of opportunity our two countries, Germany and the Qing Dynasty, will have to set foot on this continent again. ”

"Our two countries have risen too late in this era, the rest of the world has been divided, all the great powers, including Portugal and Spain, and even the current British Empire, have almost occupied most of the entire world, but only this place in Africa is still a rich land that the big guys want to touch, and this place still has many opportunities for us emerging powers, because we still have time, As long as we occupy the last chance in the wave of colonies, seize the important key colonies in Africa, then, of course, our strength can continue, after all, this is the last chance for our Germany. Of course, your country has the largest domestic market and is proud of its raw materials, but I think your country's saying that you should be prepared for an umbrella before it rains is very appropriate. ”

"If you ask about Africa, Weichen wants to ask Xisheng a word, what do you think in your heart, are you willing to make gains in Africa, or in other words, are you willing to have a conflict with the great powers because of Africa?"

"Conflict?" The Empress Dowager Cixi chuckled, "You are asking this in vain, if you are afraid of conflict, for so many years, I have been in conflict with most countries!" It's just that the degree is different, in this international community, in this era, it's not that you can avoid it if you're afraid of a conflict with others, and it's not something you can compromise if you push it, and of course I don't mind a conflict with the powerful countries because of African affairs, but," she said, "this conflict must be manageable, so, as for the Germans wanting us to join the side of the Boers against the British, I'm sorry, I am not prepared to offend the British at the moment about the Boers and their gold mines. Although the gold is good, it is also necessary to spend comfortably, and besides, I am not the world's policeman, and I do not have such a strong force, how to help the Boers in Africa, the benefits are not proportional to the pay, and I will not agree to this thing. ”

"I just want to go to Africa to take advantage of it, I am not ready to say that I want to make a fuss and come back, those places that don't matter, it is enough to grab a few pieces and come back, although we are good with Germany, but we can't say that we will gamble our own net worth and life for them," the Queen Mother smiled, she is not ready to help the Germans compete with Britain in Africa now.

In fact, this is also the current helpless move, occupy the African colony, this is the first time to face the problem, then the Prime Minister Yamen, including Guo Songtao and the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, etc., have made an assessment of the situation in various parts of Africa, how the property, what is the geographical location, what is the hydrological situation, this is all need to be carefully examined and treated, the location should be good, and the product should be abundant, and it is not a popular area, so as not to be coveted by other countries, this is a difficult choice, and it is not to say, which piece you wantAlthough the Empress Dowager Cixi did not remember many things in later generations, there is one thing that she should not be mistaken, the treaty signed at the Berlin Conference, the events that everyone recognizes, and the principle of dealing with colonies in Africa is the principle of "first come, first served".

On the last day, ask for a monthly pass, let's take a look and see if there is a monthly pass, the last day, don't waste it, Mo Da. (To be continued.) )
