30. Xiang Zhuang Sword Dance (7)

An Dehai probably because he has no worries, and there are no descendants, so he doesn't need to worry about the problems behind him, Hepu returned, and acted a lot more viciously, at this time, when he heard the praise of the queen mother, he knelt down, "Being able to return to Beijing to serve the queen mother is a blessing for a servant, and it is not worthy of the praise of the queen mother." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"This is a credit, merit is merit, there is nothing to shirk," the Empress Dowager Cixi asked An Dehai to get up, "Get up, get up, it's not easy for the big guys these years, after a few days, I'll give you a holiday to rest, just be busy these days," the Queen Mother smiled, "The caravan going to sea, are you ready?" ”

"Back to Lafayette's words, it has been prepared," An Dehai was praised by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and his face showed a smug light, "This matter was originally thought to be extremely difficult, to cross the ocean, I don't know how many people will be willing to participate, I never thought about it, just let out the wind, and the people outside are busy to participate, and the slave wants to think about it, but can only think of one, that is, following the path of the Empress Dowager, it must be wrong, so it is just a rumor, and the big guys are all rushing up." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be," the Queen Mother teased, "It's obvious that your God of Wealth's business has no losses, everything is prosperous, since you are ready, let's hurry up and get started!" The Queen Mother's originally lazy eyes turned excited, after so many years, what kind of political affairs have not been seen, and political affairs that can make the Queen Mother excited are becoming more and more rare, "There are more and more new things in these years, I really don't know what it will become in the future, really, more and more interesting." Who would have thought," the Queen Mother smiled mysteriously, "that our Qing Dynasty actually wanted to start the idea of Africa?" ”

"What's going on there, let Guo Songtao keep an eye on it, these days, you don't have to go home," the Queen Mother ordered, "Berlin and Beijing are jet lag, and the telegram in the evening is coming, he wants to know as soon as possible, and those Zhang Jing of diplomacy should also stay in the garden together, be on call, and can't be delayed." ”

"Huh."

"Is Li Hongzhang out of Beijing?"

"I was out of Beijing yesterday."

"Since I'm out of Beijing, I can't do nothing, I'm an anxious person, I can't wait for others, North Korea's affairs, how much should I take a posture out, don't do nothing, don't do anything, then we are easy to be regarded as soft persimmons."

"Huh!"

The Queen Mother turned around and leaned on the white marble railing to look at the vast Fuhai, "Although Fuhai is claimed to be a sea, it is just a lake, but I don't know," she stretched out her hand to block the sun, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Our new nine-thousand-ton warship has arrived in Nagasaki, how big is it, how should the Japanese react?" ”

Berlin is another good day, it is rare not to rain, the meetings of various countries are going on every day, of course, these meetings may not be very efficient, most of the time is in each other's words, but today seems to be a little different, the German Foreign Office has long notified today's "very important affairs to be announced", so most of the national representatives, are yawning to the venue, no way, every day this ball drinking party to enjoy the opera nightlife, during the day to talk and do the sword, the iron man can not bear it.

British Foreign Secretary Georgia proudly entered the venue, he greeted the people around him warmly, he will not think that anything will happen today, after all, China is impossible to listen to the opinions of the Germans, and it is impossible to fall to the Chinese, because Germany echoes the views of the French, and between China and France, if the relationship is harmonious, it is really going to laugh, on the day of the opening ceremony, China and France choked each other, and the big guys saw it.

According to the news coming back from the Far East, it was the minister in charge of the Chinese navy who made this proposal to the government, and the government is still studying the possibility of suspending the purchase of warships, and no matter can be groundless. The meaning of the Chinese proverb is that the county officials are not as good as the current management", but the opinion of a minister in charge of the navy must be the most worthy of study, and his opinion must have been fully considered by the government, and Georgia has long concluded that the Chinese, for some reason, will not continue to buy British warships in large quantities.

This is a big blow to Britain's foreign trade, but at the diplomatic level, for the ownership of the Congo River Basin, it is a benefit, Georgia sat down, crossed his hands on the table, the attendant asked in a low voice what to drink, Georgia chose black tea, this is the drink that the British like, what does this good mean, that is, because the Chinese have been "summoned" by Georgia yesterday.

Georgia has resorted to both hard and soft measures, and has demanded that China must immediately come up with an explanation, otherwise it will be "the greatest provocation of the British Empire and will cause unpredictable losses to the friendly relations between the two countries," and demanded that China not be able to quickly reduce or stop the warship contract between China and Britain.

Of course, Zeng Jize's thoughts can be understood, because the Chinese and British governments directly fund the purchase of goods, but the warship is the biggest in it, and the big guys know that the government purchase contract does not care about the cost, which can easily make the British military or shipyards profitable, so stop it immediately, of course, it will greatly damage the British military industry, so of course we have to protest and threaten.

Zeng Jize explained the domestic situation with Georgia in a very humble way, explaining that this is just Li Hongzhang's point of view, this personal point of view was immediately refuted by Georgia, whether it can ensure that it will not happen, Zeng Jize can not guarantee it, this makes Georgia very angry, he is like thunder, and he does not care about diplomatic etiquette at all, but under the persuasion of his entourage, he finally lost his temper, of course, the invincible empire of the sun does not allow his dignity to be violated in any way, At this time, he finally put forward his opinion, "China must compensate Britain for this matter!" ”

Zeng Jize was very embarrassed, and in his words, Georgia grasped a little message, that is, the Germans were also very dissatisfied with the suspension of the purchase of warships, Georgia continued to pressur, and finally got the result that he wanted the most. (To be continued.) )
