If it's a convulsion whims...... I'm sorry, no matter how long the Sino-German friendship is, I won't lose face in the international community with you, but if there are all kinds of preparations, then of course this matter can be operated together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zeng Jize smiled slightly, "Yes, of course, Mr. Minister, I fully understand your considerations, so please don't doubt that we have helpers, and we have successfully persuaded the Russians that they will put down their neutral attitude and come to support us instead." ”

"Russians?" Li Weili was a little surprised, "Your country and Russia had a military conflict before, and then there was a dispute in Central Asia, although the territory was divided in the area of India, and the relationship here is not bad, but why is it that all of a sudden, Russia will support you." ”

Thousands of miles away in Beijing, Guo Songtao is cordially receiving the Russian ambassador to China, this ambassador is not the same as Russia's big ethnic Russian, is a Tatar and Russian mixed race tall black-haired man, looks a little like Chinese, so Guo Songtao is very cordial, Guo Songtao has stepped down from the position of the co-minister in charge of foreign affairs of the Prime Minister Yamen, that is to say, he is no longer China's foreign minister, but he is still in charge of foreign affairs, so if you want to describe his status, Then he should be a member of the Politburo Standing Committee in charge of foreign affairs, and it is very rare for such a big man to meet an ambassador, so this Russian ambassador is very excited and proud.

"What does Your Majesty the Emperor mean by the plan I told you before, Ambassador?" After the tea was delivered, Guo Songtao opened his mouth with a smile, seeing that the Russian ambassador had no idea of drinking tea, Guo Songtao stretched out his hand to invite again, "This is black tea with sugar, it tastes good, and I also added a little vodka to it, I hope you can like it, ambassador." ”

With wine, then for Russia, it is good tea, the ambassador expressed his gratitude, took the teacup and drank it all, and after drinking, he sighed, and the aftertaste was endless, "Our Tsarist Majesty completely agrees with your country's ideas, he also believes that the British who are omnipresent and omnipotent, really need someone to make him understand that not everyone likes the British to point fingers, this plan is feasible, but, "it will not be stupid people who can survive in the Foreign Office, his words immediately took a turn," If you can help Russia put pressure on Ottoman Turkey and help fight for dominance in the Balkans, then we will be very grateful, and we can do better in this matter that your country is advocating. ”

"I'm sorry, we can't agree to this matter," Guo Songtao shook his head and continued to say with a smile, he saw the disappointed expression on the face of the Russian ambassador, "It's not that we, like the United Kingdom, don't like your country's continued expansion in Europe," China certainly hopes that Russia's eyes will always look to the south and west, and never turn its head to the east, "We don't have any opinion on your country's expansion in the Balkans, but we must take into account that China has an equity stake in the Suez Canal, And now the Suez Canal is still in the territory of Ottoman Turkey, we must take this into account, so we cannot openly support your country's actions, of course," Guo Songtao said jokingly, "If your country can make Egypt independent from Ottoman Turkey, we will help your country put pressure on the Turks." ”

This is again to use Egypt's independence as a condition to let China put pressure on Ottoman Turkey, the Russian ambassador shook his head, "This is impossible, at least at the current stage, it is impossible," If Egypt can be independent, then does it still need China to exert pressure, the Ottoman Turks have long been in mourning, "Of course, the friendship between China and Russia is very long-standing, so His Majesty the Tsar believes that a little more support loans and donations are needed." ”

Guo Songtao scolded his mother silently in his heart, these Russians are so shameless, they actually continue to raise the price of the loans and donations that have been negotiated before, even if it is okay, but they still have to use friendship as an excuse, this is really ridiculous, Guo Songtao is scolding his mother in his heart, but he still has a smile on his face, "I am happy to see the friendship between the two countries continue to develop, so before, our two countries negotiated," he opened a memorandum in his hand, "There is a loan of 200,000 silver dollars, and a free donation of 100,000 yuan, Do you think there is too little? Guo Songtao was displeased, "This is just a sentence from your country at the Berlin Conference!" ”

"It's not just a word, honorable Prime Minister," the Russian ambassador also showed a smile on his face at this time, "This is to show that our two countries reached a temporary alliance at the Berlin Conference, a huge and powerful Russian Empire, and China reached an alliance, you think about it, this is an alliance reached between the two largest countries in the world, no one can have any delusional challenge to this alliance, so such a big momentum and support, Just 450,000 rubles in loans and more than 200,000 rubles in aid is too little, and I believe that other countries can pay more. ”

"Although this is an alliance of the two largest countries in terms of territory, this is not going to Berlin for war, Mr. Ambassador!" Yan Jingming said bitterly, "Are we going to defeat the whole world?" Obviously not, then this force is not of much use, not to mention that Mr. Ambassador, you are only talking about a temporary alliance, and besides, your country can only represent the opinion of one country, can you pull in a few other countries? What, can St. Petersburg put pressure on your country in the three Nordic countries? ”

The Russian ambassador said with a smile, "We are competing for the export of the Baltic Sea" Just like that, Guo Songtao immediately made a decision, "The aid is gratuitous, our country is still preparing to issue a new currency, and the financial pressure is very great, so the aid will no longer increase, but the low-interest loans can be added, well, in the increase of 300,000 rubles!" If the three Nordic countries, your country can make it clear that they all support China, then I will personally order the Prime Minister Yamen to allocate another 300,000 rubles as funds for the activities of your Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is without any strings attached, and in addition, I can personally pay you another 30,000 rubles in commission, thank you for your role in this!
