This means that there will be no conflict between countries for the time being, especially now that the Boer region, where the smell of gunpowder is strongest in Africa, has been mediated by the Chinese ("This is the first time that our Chinese mediation has helped regional peace!"). Guo Songtao reported at the reception reception of the Prime Minister's Yamen) Then everyone can throw off their arms and roll up their sleeves, and increase their horsepower to snatch the land of Africa, of course, about 300,000 words of what official declaration, those things, about the diplomats themselves are the first to believe the series of nonsense, except for the signing of the contract was very solemn, and the dignitaries of various countries have arrived, and then quickly fell out of favor and threw into the garbage heap of history.

Of course, this sequelae is very big, at this time a German sage surnamed Ma, he hated the rulers of various countries in Berlin very much, he keenly discovered the drawbacks, and quickly issued a prediction: "All countries have increased their colonial rule in Africa, which in the short term, for the country, is indeed a very low-cost and high-income thing, but any country wants to use the method of extracting colonies to improve the country's material level, Rather than being used to break through and increase productivity levels, decline will follow immediately, as is the case in Portugal and Spain...... Moreover, because of the uneven distribution of spoils, the contradictions will inevitably become more prominent, and the Berlin Conference is not a fire extinguisher, but only a pot of cooled oil, poured on the fire, and the fire is not extinguished, but only temporarily reduces the firepower. ”

Everyone has almost reached a consensus, you can fully enjoy Berlin's many good services, in the exchange, the Chinese through this very good platform, fully show their unique Oriental style, everyone agrees that the Chinese are far more polite than the European powers, especially compared with the British, more polite, not aggressive, many times prefer to use economic interests, rather than the threat of force to solve relations between countries, even for small countries, Nor will they think that you are a small country and lack patience and disrespect for you. Of course, Empress Dowager Cixi's psychology is very clear that small countries are almost useless, and now is not the era of the United Nations, there is no situation of one country, one vote, but diplomacy can not just look at the world, not look at the ground, so at this meeting, the Chinese not only grabbed huge interests in Africa, but also formally invested in the international arena, no longer a local country living in a corner of East Asia.

French Prime Minister Baptiste had just listened to the results of a negotiation between the Minister of Economy and Trade and the Chinese, and the Chinese were ready to exempt the French from tariffs on the thirteen kinds of machines under the list, and the Minister of Economy and Trade proposed that the government immediately organize the manufacturers of these machines and quickly transport these machines to China to seize a commercial opportunity.

This is a very dazzling political achievement, especially when the French industry is not very advanced, industry and commerce can sell more machines here to China, Bapiste listened carefully, and suddenly, his confidential secretary came in with a newspaper, his face was a little strange, "Prime Minister, I'm sorry, I have to disturb your conversation with His Excellency the Minister, there is an unexpected incident, published in a German newspaper, please be sure to read the content of it." ”

What kind of things, what kind of important things, will be published in the newspaper first? Baptiste took the newspaper in the secretary's hand suspiciously, opened it and took a look, his eyes slowly widened, the eyeballs seemed to be two huge sapphires, the news was not very long, and it was accompanied by a photo, but Baptiste was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he lost his voice for a while, he looked at it, thought for a long time, and finally slowly put down the newspaper and muttered a word:

"Shameless Chinese."

"Nani?" Mutsaburo stood up, "What did you say?" On the shores of the Red Sea, have the Chinese launched an offensive to occupy African land? Are you telling the truth? ”

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, Your Excellency!" His counsellor took a stack of newspapers and handed it to Mutszaburo, "This is the front page of a German newspaper today!" It's very clear! ”

Mutzsaburo took the newspaper and saw the news, his eyes couldn't help but widen, "Just a few days ago, on the way to the Suez Canal, the Chinese merchant ship docked on a certain African coast between the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean because of the storm, they were warmly welcomed by the local Africans, and when the Africans saw the skin of these Chinese clearly, they became particularly excited, they used sign language to make a gesture, telling the Chinese a very shocking thing, that is, this place, It was managed by China hundreds of years ago! ”

"Of course, the Chinese don't believe in this, but the locals have come up with several very conclusive evidence, and they have provided evidence that cannot be faked, that is, a seal from hundreds of years ago, and a Chinese official uniform!" Mutz Saburo quickly turned his gaze and looked at the accompanying picture on the side, the black and white photo showed a photo of a black man wearing a tonic official uniform and a Chinese wearing a robe and horse coat, although Mu Ci Saburo did not know the history of Chinese clothing, but he knew very well that this black man was wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, a dynasty before the Qing Dynasty!

"This is an unbelievable thing, I didn't expect Chinese to have a connection with Africa so far ago, after further conversation, the Chinese merchants determined that this is the place where Zheng He, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty of China, led the fleet to arrive five hundred years ago, this tribe is the local natives who warmly entertained Zheng He's eunuchs, and they expressed to Zheng He the idea of submitting to China, so Zheng He appointed them to rule the local area on behalf of the emperor of China......" Mutsaburo muttered to himself, he really couldn't figure it out, Why can Africa now have a relationship with Zheng He in the past, "This is really a wonderful connection," he was a little disgusted, but he had to continue reading, "After 500 years, I didn't expect them to still get in touch with China, this history tells us that China's management and ties with Africa have been longer than we thought, and China is qualified to participate in the distribution of land in Africa...... This place is called Somalia, the point where Africa protrudes towards West Asia, and the Chinese have been invited by the locals to live there and restore the friendship of hundreds of years ago.
