Chapter 654 Smoke Bombs
"Oh...... Will Lord William also be invited to the summit, how did I not know that an invitation was sent to him? ”
Emperor Richard had just received the Governor of the Southern District and the provincial officials at the central railway station in Mexico City, and he heard the unexpected news during his rest.
Is Britain always a-stirring stick?
It's a question that can be answered by a three-year-old, and former Prime Minister William Yurt Gladstone is undoubtedly the biggest, smelliest and hardest, not one of them.
He came to the Summit of the Americas, and he couldn't have understood what he was thinking in his arms.
Emperor Richard was not afraid of him, because as long as this thing dared to come, he would never be able to go back, and Richard had a hundred ways to make his death very natural and peaceful, and he couldn't see any suspicions.
Prime Minister Dong Jie smiled bitterly and replied respectfully;
"Your Majesty;
Wechen also just got the news that this was an invitation from John F. Kennedy, President of the Confederate States of Millicane, and he didn't reveal anything about it.
We did not receive the news until Lord William and his entourage arrived in Richmond on board the Royal Navy visiting fleet.
The small British royal visiting fleet was said to arrive in Florida a few days later, with a British parliamentary delegation led by Lord William.
The guest just came to the door, and he couldn't refuse to refuse, which was the fault of Weichen. ”
"John F. Kennedy, what kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?" Emperor Richard asked with a displeased expression.
President John F. Kennedy was a large British-American white slave owner in South Carolina, with more than 1,170 black slaves and tens of thousands of acres of cotton plantations, and was a powerful figure in Southern politics.
It is not surprising that John F. Kennedy has been linked to Britain for the benefit of the Confederate States of Milicone, and that the great white slave owners of the South are inextricably linked to the overlord Britain.
Britain is the largest cotton sales market, and the south also needs Britain to balance the strength of the Tang Empire, and it is not difficult to understand that it is moving closer to Britain.
But doing so is undoubtedly smashing the pot for dinner!
The Organization of American Cooperation (OAS) is the long-term political goal of the Tang Empire for 10 years, the foundation for building the security and cooperation situation of the entire Americas, the anchor of the strategic pattern of the Americas, and the biggest political goal that the Tang Empire is striving for.
On such a major issue
The sudden backstabbing of the Confederate States of Milican would be very interesting.
The temper of the great powers of the world today is not good, the threshold for waging war is so low that it can be completely ignored, any ridiculous pretext for war is fine, and no one cares about these anyway.
Is the Confederate of Milicon floating?
Is it too much to clean up?
Who gave him the courage to do this?
To know
This will inevitably cause the wrath of the Tang Empire, which will be regarded as a betrayal, which will lead to a series of serious consequences.
Prime Minister Dong Jie replied cautiously;
"Back to Your Majesty's words;
We thought it was related to the serious economic difficulties facing the Confederate States of America today, which is why President John F. Kennedy made such an unwise move to try to curry favor with the British.
The Confederate Republic of Millicane was a single agricultural economy that relied heavily on cotton for 90 percent of its exports, and in the economic crisis that broke out in 1873, it never got rid of the predicament of a sharp decline in cotton exports, which seriously dampened the interests of white slave owners.
The only solution is to obtain the understanding and goodwill of the United Kingdom, the largest importer of cotton.
Because of the stubborn insistence of the Confederate States on slavery, the dumping of cotton at low prices seriously infringed on the interests of the British colonies.
This includes Egypt, India and Sri Lanka, so in recent years, British warships have often intercepted cotton ships in the south and created cotton trade frictions to suppress the old south.
President John F. Kennedy's election slogan was his promise to "significantly improve the correspondence during his term of office and restore the close cotton trade ties that have existed in the past."
This outrageous move is likely to stem from this......
Weichen neglected to supervise and begged His Majesty to punish the crime. ”
After Prime Minister Dong Jie finished speaking, he bowed deeply with both hands, his face full of guilt.
He now hated President John F. Kennedy, but he couldn't help it for the time being.
Former British Prime Minister William Euult Gladstone is undoubtedly a heavyweight, but also a big trouble, unprovoked, annoyed, and patient to listen to his blind force.
Although it will not completely ruin the inauguration ceremony of the Organization of American Cooperation, it will certainly create a big headache and make this long-prepared diplomatic event of the Americas not perfect.
In the face of such a heavyweight, neither the prince nor the prime minister Dong Jie can be seen, and only His Majesty the Emperor can calm the scene.
In other words, it has caused trouble to His Majesty the Emperor.
Emperor Richard laughed disapprerovingly, raised his hand and said; "This is a deliberate act of the Millican Confederate, and it is not surprising that Dong Aiqing was teased, it is not your fault.
Hehe...... Now all cats and dogs have jumped out, it's really funny!
When does the Royal Navy's visiting fleet arrive in Florida? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, we got the news in three days."
"Well, change the itinerary, arrange a few days off in Mexico City for the time being, and I will make a speech to openly welcome Lord William, and show the generosity of the hospitable hosts!" Emperor Richard commanded with a blank expression.
"Uh...... Wechen understood. Prime Minister Dong Jie hurriedly responded, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
His Majesty's itinerary has changed because of this, which shows that things are a little bigger.
There were two great powers in the whole of America that stubbornly adhered to slavery, one was the Confederate State of Milicon and the other was the Empire of Brazil, both of which were objects that the British did not like.
Slavery has created unfair competition because it has greatly depressed the cost of production.
The Confederate Republic of America alone has caused millions of cotton growers in the British colonies of India and Egypt to lose their jobs.
Relatively
The Tang Empire was full of agricultural and animal husbandry and meat export products, and the cotton industry did not account for a large proportion, and a lot of cotton was used for internal consumption in the empire, and there was no direct competition with the Confederate States of Millican.
Because the United States of Milicon used a large number of black slaves to produce cotton, it was tantamount to cheating, so the Tang Empire did not focus on the development of the cotton industry, and the demand for cotton still needed to be partially imported, otherwise it would not even be able to recover the old capital.
Cotton is also one of the few agricultural products imported by the Tang Empire, with an annual quantity of about one million bales, accounting for about 4% of the total social demand.
On the second day after the Emperor's temporary residence in Mexico City, His Majesty the Emperor made an enthusiastic speech when he received the high-ranking officials and envoys of various countries in the south of the country.
He said;
"I am delighted to see that the Parliamentary Delegation of the British House of Great Britain, led by Lord William, will participate in the unprecedented Summit of the Americas, which is a good sign for dialogue between the two countries.
I reiterate;
The Tang Imperial Government's policy of adhering to the long-term close and friendly alliance between Tang and Britain will not change, and all misunderstandings will disappear with the deepening of understanding between the two sides.
Strengthening high-level exchanges between the two governments has always been a positive direction, far stronger than confrontation.
The Tang Imperial Government welcomes Lord William and his entourage with open arms, and will welcome our guests with a warm and hospitable attitude.
I look forward to meeting with Lord William in Panama to have an in-depth exchange of views on international and regional issues of mutual interest and to bridging the divide. This will be a very important meeting that will help strengthen understanding and mutual trust between the two sides.
As an important international force in maintaining world order, Britain and Tang should strengthen each other's respect and tacit understanding, strengthen regional policy coordination, and deeply understand each other's concerns in the years to come.
Welcome, friends of Datang......"
The public statement of the emperor of the Tang Empire was the basis of imperial policy, which was of extraordinary significance and immediately received a strong response from the British side.
The British ambassador to Tang, Michael Tokson, commented with joy on this face;
"Your Majesty's speech in Mexico has undoubtedly laid an exciting and positive foundation for the relationship between Britain and Tang. The British side can fully hope that Lord William's visit will be far more fruitful than expected, which shows the importance and depth of the relationship between the two countries, and they are trustworthy and close allies for a long time. ”
In a front-page editorial published in the latest issue of The Times, a critical article written by the prominent political commentator Jensen Claude, spoke highly of the Tang Emperor's Mexican speech, he wrote;
"Downing Street has taken note of this positive sign and is deeply encouraged by it, according to an authoritative source;
The Prime Minister's Office opened champagne to celebrate the occasion, and looked forward to the in-depth exchanges between the two sides to tacitly understand the scope of their respective concerns and interests, which is crucial for the development of long-term friendly relations between the two countries.
As the Duke of California, who once swore allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, the Tang Emperor was a truly loyal knight with all the virtues of a knight.
It is entirely optimistic to foresee ......"
The speech of the Tang Emperor in Mexico spread all over the world at a rapid speed through the transatlantic long-distance cable, attracting the attention of all countries, some worried, some rejoicing, and some deeply disturbed.
This is the international influence that the Tang Empire has now shown, and it has become one of the first-class powers, and no one can ignore the enormous geopolitical influence generated by the deepening relations between Britain and Tang.
This blockbuster public statement means that Britain can be frank about its concerns and geopolitical interests, and form a tacit understanding with the Tang Empire that well water does not interfere with river water.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty made a vague statement; "It is necessary to strengthen the respect and tacit understanding of the other side, strengthen regional policy coordination, and deeply understand the concerns and ...... of the other side"
This passage can be understood as the Tang Empire will respect the broad interests of Britain in Canada, Australia, the colonial territories of South America, Africa, South Asia, the Indian subcontinent and the Strait Governorate, East Asia and the Near East, and form a tacit understanding of mutual non-aggression.
As long as it is an interest that Britain is concerned about, Tang will respect it, reflecting a soft figure, which makes the British side very satisfied.
Who would have thought that ~ This turned out to be a smoke bomb released by the noble Tang Emperor to confuse the old Britain......
Late at night
Several black shadows in the Emperor's Palace in Mexico City soared into the sky, and soon flew higher and higher into small black dots, which could no longer be seen with the naked eye......
