So the Russians were bought like this, Guo Songtao originally didn't believe that Russia would bend his waist for money, if it wasn't for the Queen Mother's repeated orders, he didn't expect Russia to get any breakthroughs here, how could he be able to look at this money? But the Empress Dowager Cixi said very clearly: "The style of the Russian country is very similar to their character, they are all straightforward, if you want your land, just say it, if you want to fight, then it is also straightforward, never engage in any fancy, this characteristic of theirs, we can take advantage of it, since Russia is not interested in Africa, then of course it doesn't matter whose opinion he agrees with, then let's go out with the white flowers first, they will definitely listen to us and help us with this, if it is done this time," The Queen Mother and Guo Songtao smiled and said, "In the future, we will probably have no disputes with the Russians, and we will have one more thug who will work as long as he pays, Yunxian, believe it or not?" ”

This price is unbelievably low, about less than 400,000 silver dollars of the loan actually in exchange for the support of the Russians, in addition to the Russians are poor and crazy, and they don't see the world very much, I don't know how to live a rich life, I probably can't find any other reason, the Empress Dowager Cixi said that she can give up to one million silver dollars, but obviously, less than 400,000 to take it, this is Guo Songtao's political achievement.

Berlin, the scene of the meeting of the sixteen, Russia threw out such a statement, indicating that it was occupied with the Chinese in this matter, Rao is at this time, Georgia does not feel anything, the Russians are so capricious, as long as someone gives him benefits, then he can do anything, as if he is a captive wolf dog, only see the immediate benefits. This is not surprising.

However, it is because of such directness and rudeness in Russia that many people will be jealous of the attitude of this big country, the meeting room was originally a buzz of conversation, but after a while it finally stopped, Georgia disdained, he would not fight with these rude Russians at all, and the deputy minister next to him and several confidential secretaries started a new round of offensive, "I'm sorry, your country, like China, lacks the position and status to express its own opinions in the Congo River valley!" ”

Russia is the most grumpy, the two sides suddenly began a war of words, the venue became very lively, this will everyone understand, Germany is only faintly on the side of the Chinese, the Russians are clearly expressing support for China, in this case, the British can still be so justifiable, obviously, do not look at Russia in their eyes, but since these countries have spoken, will there be no other countries to take a stand? Ottoman Turkey is now completely on the bar with Russia, as long as it is supported by Russia, he is all against it, and the Turkish foreign minister with a red turban and a big beard is loudly opposing, but it seems that everyone is very dissatisfied with the attitude of Ottoman Turkey. The first thing to look at is the major powers, what does it mean?

When Austria-Hungary also spoke out and supported the Chinese plan, Georgia finally felt that something was wrong, the Germans were already helping the Chinese throughout the process, needless to say, I didn't expect Austria-Hungary and Russia to support the Chinese, what did China pay Austria-Hungary to make them actually stand with Germany, now, Eastern Europe and Central Europe and Southern Europe on the mainland have been trained into an iron plate, if you add the Great Qing Kingdom in the Far East, such a force cannot be underestimated.

Georgia understood at this time that he also needed to find friends, he looked around and saw Prime Minister Baptiste in the French delegation, he was like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, he saw the dawn and hope, the Germans have now betrayed France, France must be very angry, and they cannot give up the Congo River to the Chinese, "Your Excellency Prime Minister Baptiste," he said to the French not far away, "I think your country can properly express its opinion, What do you think," his gray-white eyes rolled, "the Chinese delegation said that all countries can express their opinions, and I think his point of view is correct, France and Portugal are the two parties to the Congo River basin dispute, if you need to ask for opinions, the most important thing to ask is your country, may I ask France, what does it mean?" ”

Georgia looked at Baptiste with great interest, the support of most countries is not important, the most important thing is an important strong country, no matter how much trouble a small country makes, it is impossible to set off much of a storm. France is the two powerful countries in Europe and Germany, even if it is Russia, it is impossible to cross Central Europe and France to contend with it, not to mention that Germany, which betrayed in this operation, will definitely be disgusted by France and China.

But today, destined to be Georgia's lonely day, hearing Georgia's invitation, Baptiste put down the white gloves that were originally supporting his cheeks, his eyes just now were a little dazed, obviously he didn't know what he was thinking, but his thoughts were disturbed by the British Foreign Secretary, Baptiste cleared his throat, and all the people in the entire conference room looked at him and saluted, "Any country should follow international principles and practices, and in African affairs, there is no effective principle and practice that can be followed, So many of our contradictions and disputes arise, because of small frictions and tensions between countries, which is a phenomenon that France is not happy to see, the Chinese's plan," Bapiste looked at Zeng Jize indifferently, seeing Zeng Jize smiling gently, the corners of his tight mouth couldn't help twitching, "I think it is a feasible plan, which can help solve the dispute in the Congo River Basin." ”

At this time, no one made any noise, and one of the most exaggerated episodes appeared in this meeting, that is, France actually stood with the Chinese, and the two countries that had become enemies in the past actually united together!

Everyone was shocked to the point of being speechless, if someone sweeps the floor at this time, it is definitely possible to sweep out a few baskets of eyeballs, this Berlin conference at present, the biggest surprise is on the French, before the opening of the two countries-for-tat everyone saw it, but did not expect that after just over a month, the French changed their attitude, do the French really think that the Chinese's strategy is good? No kidding. (To be continued.) )
