Zeng Jize is not surprised, this is China's rightful position, it is the respect and recognition that China has spent countless costs, died countless people, and paid hard work in exchange for it, of course, this is only the first step, and the road ahead is still very long, but compared with 20 years ago, it is now upside down, An Lan originally leaned on the cushion of the sofa, and heard the German Foreign Minister so close to Hongguoguo's confession, he couldn't help but straighten his spine, held his breath, and listened carefully, This may affect the recommendations and decisions of the international situation for a long time to come.

Zeng Jize looked at Wilhelm II, Wilhelm II did not speak, "I must say, we are very surprised by this result, although we did not express a position, but any country will think that we have the best relationship with your country, and it is only a matter of time before we support you, and we think that we are only here to visit and study the agenda of the conference, in addition, the most important thing is to support your country, and we have not invested in the idea of dividing forces in Africa." ”

"Ideas can be changed," Wilhelm II said with a smile, his black eyes shining with excitement, "Actually, the problem of the Congo River valley, your country is very clear, it is not important at all, according to my personal thoughts," he glanced at the foreign minister who was a little helpless, "This is just my personal opinion, the rest of the government does not agree with this opinion, but I still want to explain it to you," he beckoned, asked the attendant to take a roll of parchment, and opened it, Zeng Jize saw a complete map of Africa, and Wilhelm II stretched out his white-gloved right hand and pointed to a place in southern Africa, "My opinion is that the African continent, except for this place, the rest of the places are not important. ”

He was referring to the Boer region near South Africa, Wilhelm II looked at the map, his eyes showed a fiery light, "Your Excellency, this place was revealed by the Queen Mother of your country to our ambassador, saying that there is a huge amount of gold in this place, although our country has always been very disbelievable that the Queen Mother of your country actually knows that there is gold in this place, but the facts tell us that this is indeed the case, this is really impossible to explain with science, then I can only explain it with the Queen Mother's personal mysterious oriental ability," Wilhelm II's face showed a look of admiration, obviously resounding the story of the former Empress Dowager Cixi who pretended to be a god and a prophet in Europe and was sought after by countless people, "I have to say that we have taken a part of the lead in this place, but these Boers," Wilhelm II shook his head, "With our help, we can only barely resist the attack of the British, and the combat effectiveness is too weak." ”

"Your country's help is already great," Zeng Jize said, "You must know that Britain is the most powerful country in the world, known as the empire on which the sun never sets," Wilhelm II showed a disdainful expression on his face, Zeng Jize smiled slightly, "They sent their regular troops overseas for the first time, but they could not get a decisive victory in the Boer region, how could it be that without the help of your country, the Boers would have lost a long time ago, and Britain would not have wanted to seek a solution diplomatically in Berlin, the capital of your country." ”

"This is the first time in so many years that Britain is willing to solve the colonial problem through diplomatic means, rather than by force," Zeng Jize said with a smile, "This is a great progress, as His Majesty the Emperor said, and I agree with this, that is, Britain," he paused in his tone, "and must adapt to the fact that a new country has emerged on the international stage." ”

The foreign minister raised his eyebrows, and a wave of joy arose, "adapting to the facts" means that it is necessary to endure and accept, the emergence of emerging countries, so that the Chinese are ready to attack?

"Of course, we hope to work with your country to create a new situation, I don't think the distance between the two countries is too far, after all, the development of science and technology, the geographical distance will be shorter and shorter, then the actual distance between the two countries in the future can be negligible, and the geographical distance can ensure that there is no territorial conflict between our two countries," Zeng Jize stood up, and An Lan, the ambassador to Germany next to him, also stood up, and the two of them bowed to Wilhelm II together, "We are convinced of this." ”

Got the letter of the Chinese, Wilhelm II glanced at his foreign minister in disbelief, the foreign minister quickly stood up, his face showed great joy, did not expect that such a conversation has reached a preliminary consensus, originally today is not going to have such a good progress, after all, the prime minister did not attend, everyone still wants to talk about polite affairs to make initial contact, did not expect, this is such a surprising result!

The Foreign Minister motioned for Wilhelm II to stand up with his eyes, "I am very satisfied with this, yes, two gentlemen," Wilhelm II extended his hand again and shook hands with the two men, "I believe that our two countries can progress together." ”

"Please sit down," the foreign minister stretched out his hand to invite Zeng An and the two to sit down together, "I have to say that today is a very happy day, when we are facing some more difficult things, your country can still stand with us as always," he said, "Of course, it is more important to talk about interests between countries, but I have to say today that the feelings between China and Germany are very deep." ”

"Our country is also experiencing difficulties, so Lord Li Hongzhang has an act about suspending warships, it may happen, I said, something like this may happen," Zeng Jize continued as he stood up, "So we will help Germany in this matter first, to show that the relationship between our two countries will not change,"

"We will declare at once that we support any German claim on the Congo River Valley," Zeng Jize sat down, "This is our commitment to your country, and I hope that we can get your understanding, Your Majesty the Emperor." ”

The foreign minister's mind was spinning rapidly, "Of course, if this is a temporary plan, I believe that the Ministry of Armament may be able to accept it." ”

The foreign minister clearly knew that if China suspended the purchase of warships, this would be a helpless thing, and the number of warships China had purchased over the years was actually more than enough for a country that did not want to pursue an international navy, and he was very much in favor of this proposal put forward by the Chinese.
