A secret conversation between the Tang and French emperors at Notre Dame Cathedral finalized several major issues, and there are so many of them;

First, Tang and France should maintain close ties and strengthen communication on hot issues in Europe and the world, and even if differences arise, they should maintain the stability of bilateral relations with an attitude of "seeking common ground while reserving differences" and avoid causing more twists and turns.

Second, the two countries will establish a regular correspondence system between the foreign ministers, increase stable communication channels, and achieve regular exchanges at the high level of the Cabinet.

Third, to promote the import and tariff preferences of superior products between the two countries, the Tang Empire is willing to increase the import of France's distinctive red wine, perfumes, high-end women's clothing, French cheese, machinery and other special products, France is willing to increase the import of kerosene, diesel, heavy oil and petrochemical products, weapons, trams, machinery and explosives, and strengthen trade ties between the two sides.

Fourth, mutually beneficial arrangements for financial investment.

The two sides agreed to strengthen cooperation in the fields of study abroad, arts, finance and investment, and the terms of cooperation will be further negotiated by the relevant authorities.

France covets the Tang Empire's thriving financial industry in North America and the many investment and property opportunities, and the Tang Empire also sees France as a bridgehead to the European market, with a bright future.

The time has come for the signing of a formal international treaty that takes into account the interests of both sides, and it is in the interests of both sides.

Fifth, the French Empire expressed its understanding and support for the desert expeditions of the Tang Empire in South America, and the Tang Empire expressed its understanding and support for the colonization of the French Kingdom in North Africa, the Near East and the Indochina Peninsula, and the two countries opened ports and infrastructure to each other to facilitate each other's colonial operations.

Sixth, the French Empire expressed its understanding and support for the Tang Empire's intention to take a stake in the Suez Canal and will provide appropriate convenience.

Seventh, the two countries will adopt a concerted pace with regard to the violent death of King George I of Denmark and the succession to the throne of Greece, as well as the undercurrent of smearing the image of the Tang Empire in Europe, and devote themselves to the purpose of safeguarding the inviolability of the sacred imperial power.

The two countries agreed;

The fact that a prince of the British Empire should not be king of the Kingdom of Greece is contrary to the peace that maintains a balance in Europe.

On this point, in fact, it is the consensus of the European royal families.

The princes of the royal families of England, France, and Russia should not be kings of the world's uncrowned kingdoms, including Greece and Bulgaria today, and Portugal and Spain before them.

The 14-year War of Spanish Succession in the last century was because the French royal family inherited the Spanish throne, which led to Britain not hesitating to unite half of European countries and launch a 14-year bloody war with the French.

The teacher of the previous life, Yin Jian is not far away.

Napoleon III led the Tang Empire to publicly reiterate this point, in fact, he saw the Tang Empire's regional hegemony in North America, and its economic and military strength was good enough to make the British jealous.

The British did not care that France or the Tang Empire would endanger their fundamental interests, but they were afraid that these two countries would unite and even pull other countries into the "anti-British alliance".

The British Empire has the most powerful Royal Navy in the world, dominating the Seven Seas.

If necessary, it can cut off the foreign trade routes of France and the Tang Empire, cut off the effective rule of these two countries over their overseas colonies, deal a heavy blow to their economy and trade, and plunge them into a serious economic regression.

Look the other way around

As the hegemon of the European continent, France also has the ability to pinch Britain, whether in Europe, the Near East or North Africa or Egypt, the French Empire has many cards to play.

The same is true of the Tang Empire, and Canada, which is close at hand, is the Achilles heel of the British, and it is also an unbearable pain.

Britain's more than 300 years of colonization efforts in North America almost collapsed after the rise of the Tang Empire, but that was the family affair of the rebel son of the United States, and the British were too lazy to care.

Britain's feelings towards the former British colony of the United States are very complicated, and they love and hate it, and they are not accustomed to it in all kinds of ways, especially the heresy of freedom and democracy is rampant, unruly, and the suzerainty is also turning the sky upside down!

But Canada is different, Canada is the filial son of the British Empire, and has never done anything disobedient to the British.

Under the sharp blade of the Tang Empire, the British really had to think twice.

If the two powers join forces, it will inevitably cause great distress to the UK, which is not a matter of 1+1=2, but a serious global challenge.

Soon after the release of the seven statements on the close cooperation between the Tang Empire and the French Empire, the British Minister to France came to the door and asked to meet Foreign Secretary Luo Fengxian and hoped to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire.

its purpose; Just to confirm whether there have been major changes in the foreign policy of the Tang Empire?

"Are the people gone?"

The sun was shining, and Richard was teasing the red in the courtyard, making a fortune, and a few fierce beasts with white skins, and when he saw the Foreign Minister Viscount Luo Fengxian coming in from outside, he asked casually.

In terms of foreign policy towards Britain, it is indeed necessary to take care of British interests as the core, because the Tang Empire has little involvement in Europe and the Near East, North Africa, the Indian subcontinent and the Indochina Peninsula, and there are few conflicts of interest between the two sides.

But the Tang Empire is not accustomed to the British in everything, and unconditionally follows the baton of the British.

Singing some contradictions from time to time on some issues can highlight the weight of the Tang Empire, which is the way to get along.

For example, on the issue of self-determination of citizens in British British Columbia and the Yukon Territory, on the issue of the Toronto Canal transit rate, and on the issue of the three small countries in Central America, these are all marginal interests of the British Empire, but they are the core interests of the Tang Empire, and they cannot be backed down at all.

It is the persistence of the past few years that has allowed Prime Minister John Russell to regress on the above issues and achieve a more satisfactory result.

The intimacy between Tang and France immediately aroused the suspicion of the British.

Foreign Minister Luo Feng first bypassed several fierce lions and tigers, and came to the side of His Majesty the Emperor with some trepidation, and then returned the salute;

"Your Majesty;

Wechen has already dealt with the British envoys, and it is really unbearable to ask questions, and he still wants to meet the saint.

Speech; Her Majesty Queen Victoria and Prime Minister Russell are deeply concerned about this, and do not want to see a resurgence of twists and turns in the newly integrated bilateral relationship, and try to threaten to do so.

Wechen reaffirmed the position that Tang and Britain maintain friendly relations and conform to the fundamental interests of the two countries, rather than who depends on whom?

There has been a recent change in the British cabinet

It should be good news that Prime Minister John Russell has appointed the veteran statesman Marquis Franson Bowman as the new Minister of the Colonies, replacing the former Minister of the Colonies, Lord Igtz Reitz, who died after breaking his neck.

The Marquis François Bowman is an old friend of ours, who served for many years as British envoy to Canada in North America, and we have formed a good personal friendship with each other.

Wechen felt that this would be conducive to future communication with the British Colonial Office. ”

"Hmph, naïve." Richard criticized mercilessly.

He walked to the trolley on one side, picked up the whole piece of pork thigh meat in the trolley and threw it out, causing the beasts to roar and scramble, and it was lively for a while.

The fifty or sixty pounds of pig thighs were as light as nothing in Richard's hands, and he threw them 10 meters away with his hand, and Luo Fengxian swallowed his saliva dryly, hiding behind His Majesty and not daring to move.

These huge lions and tigers are often hundreds of kilograms in size, and one of them can withstand a pounce when they are playing, but others can't do it at all, even those big internal masters have pale faces, and their heads are shaking like rattles.

threw out more than 10 pig thighs full of two carts, Richard cleaned his hands, picked up a snow-white towel to wipe it, and then threw it away, walked over and continued to reprimand;

"The Marquis Françon-Bowman, an old English statesman, knows best what to say in what position, not to say things that go too far, and not to do things that go too far.

This does not mean that he is a good old man, and a good old man cannot do the position of Minister of the Colonial Ministry.

The so-called personal friendship is worthless and insignificant in the face of a person's political future, and the Marquis Françon-Bauman is not a qualified politician.

It's naïve for you to have fantasies about this person.

International politics is unpredictable, and when I go back, I should ask Lord Juan Carlos for advice, and we must not have such naïve ideas in the future.

This is the only time, and there is no next time.

Otherwise, how can I rest assured that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be under your command? ”

"Weichen is stupid, and for a while the lard is blinded, please punish Your Majesty." Luo Fengxian was reprimanded in a cold sweat, and his face turned pale.

"Go down and reflect."

"If Weichen obeys the order, he must reflect deeply." Luo Fengxian retreated respectfully, and the clothes on his back were already wet.

Li Chazhi sighed lightly when he saw this, this person was indeed a loyal and diligent minister, who performed well during the "Fusang Incident", and was responsible for transferring the captured Taiping Army officers and soldiers to the Amami Islands for resettlement.

After the change of government, he was vigorously promoted to the important post of foreign secretary, and his performance was remarkable.

The only defect is that he still lacks experience in international politics, his nature is slightly pure, and he does not have a sufficient understanding of the strange and sinister aspects of international struggles.

But this is the status quo of the Tang Empire, since the founding of the country 18 years ago, although it has been carefully cultivating political, military, and business elites, and a large number of good seedlings have emerged, but there must be a process of growth.

Richard thought about it and prepared to leave for the Kingdom of Prussia.

It has been 8 days since I came to France, and tonight I will hold a banquet to thank His Majesty Napoleon III and the French royal family, and leave France tomorrow.

Otherwise, the British should be suspicious again.

Because Richard's visit to the UK is 9 days, the same itinerary for the visit to France also reflects the attitude of attaching equal importance to Britain and France, and the details are in every tiny aspect.

It is precisely because of the heavyweight of France that Britain will use a magnifying glass to see the details of the itinerary of the visit of the Tang Empire, such as the secret meeting of the two emperors at Notre Dame Cathedral, which touched the sensitive nerves of the British.

Because Queen Victoria only met with Emperor Richard of the Tang Empire in public, the comparison between the two made the British very tasteful.

If it is put in small countries such as Belgium or Portugal, the emperor of the Tang Empire and his entourage will stay for a month, and the British will not be nervous, let alone attach great importance to them, the weight of these small countries is there!

Even if it makes a lot of noise, how big a wave can it make?

Fortunately, this trip has been full of harvest, Richard is very satisfied with the trip to France, in the end, it is the hegemon of the European continent! Some of the consensus reached by the two sides will have an important impact on the future relations between the Tang Empire and Europe, and must not be underestimated.
