Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1117
“This seems to be your French internal affairs, and the empire is not interested in your problems.”
Xiao Ming didn’t immediately show strong interest, but looked indifferent.
Henry said bluntly, “Maybe your Majesty doesn’t understand the current situation in Europe. Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom will soon have a Prussian husband. If I take the liberty, your Majesty’s choice of Prussia seems to be on two boats.”
Xiao Ming took a sip of his tea, and Prussia even flirted with Britain when he received a large amount of aid from the empire. This really made him unhappy.
However, international relations have always been grinning, MMP in their hearts, and the relationship between friends and enemies between countries is constantly changing.
What’s more, Prussia has always been an extremely ambitious country. If this country becomes stronger, it will not be much stronger than Britain and France.
In the past, he supported Prussia to contain Britain and France. Now Prussia’s role as a bargaining chip has decreased, and it may become bigger in Europe after the unification of Germany, which makes him intolerable.
How this Henry is similar to Napoleon’s careerist, he doesn’t mind making France stronger and tossing Prussia and Tsarist Russia.
Since Prussia can step on two boats, he can also share half of the apples for Prussia to France.
“Then how can I be sure that you can defeat Andre and become a consul?” Xiao Ming asked.
“No, I want to become the emperor of France like your majesty.” Henry’s brown eyes were dilated and excited.
After a pause, he continued: “Many young officers in the army are dissatisfied with Andrei. I have gained their support, but Andreis power is still very large. We may not succeed because of whether it is in We are at a disadvantage in terms of capital and equipment.”
“Emperor of France?”
Xiao Ming smiled lightly. When Henry came last time, he saw in Henry’s eyes his dissatisfaction with the envoy empire.
Thinking about it this way, this Henry has been dissatisfied with Andre for a long time, but has been suppressed in his heart.
“The emperor, this is an opportunity and it is also in the interests of the empire.” Pang Yukun said.
“If we confirm that you have this ability, we will consider it, but I can’t promise you yet.” Xiao Ming couldn’t give money just because of Henry’s family.
“Your majesty’s caution is necessary. If your majesty believes me, you can send someone to follow me back to France, and I will prove it to your majesty.”
In this negotiation, the agreement between the two sides also included a treaty on sending ambassadors to each other. After pondering, he said: “The envoys sent by the empire to France will examine you. If it is true, you will be helped.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Henry’s eyes sparkled, and he thanked again before leaving.
Xiao Ming glanced at his watch at this time and found that it was noon that he had taken everyone out of the conference room to entertain the envoys for lunch in the Weijia Restaurant.
Now that the negotiations have come into effect, the two sides are on the surface at peace, and formal etiquette is still needed.
However, Xiao Ming did not eat here. Instead, he left Pang Yukun and took Xiao Yi out of the restaurant. He didn’t participate in this kind of food and drink.
Returning to the Imperial Study Room, he formally gave Lei Ming an order to release the prisoners of war who were still in India once the ransom was received.
Then he gave an order to the Minerals Department to prepare them to go to South America and Africa to search for minerals, which is the content of the treaty.
Taking advantage of this era, he wants to dig out the scarce resources of the world and transport them to the empire to reclaim land.
He did this to plan ahead. If the empire is in trouble in the future, these resources will be a life-saving straw.
At the same time, the envoys of various countries in the Weijia Restaurant simply had a meal and asked Pang Yukun to take them to visit Qingzhou City.
The last time they were drunk, they were a lot smarter this time, and wanted to take advantage of these few days to truly understand this Eastern Empire.
Pang Yukun asked Xiao Ming for instructions, and after getting a positive answer, he and the envoys walked onto the streets of Qingzhou.
Briefly explain what the envoys do not understand.
In his opinion, the reason why the emperor no longer hides it is because of his confidence in the strength of the empire, even if these things show them that the impact on the empire is minimal.
Moreover, what they want to establish is a global governance system. The best way for regions that are difficult to occupy and rule in Europe and the Middle East is to let them fear the empire from the bottom of their hearts, which facilitates the empire to stand on top of the world.
In one afternoon, the envoys first went to the commercial street, and after seeing the dazzling array of commodities, they went to the suburban industrial area.
The electric machinery in the factory made them exclaimed and truly realized the gap between them and the empire.
“While we are still complacent about improving the steam engine, this Eastern Empire has used electricity to push industry to another peak.”
As night fell, everyone returned to the guest house. Brook wrote this sentence in his diary.
In addition, he also described in his diary what he had seen and heard in Qingzhou. He believed that if these diaries were published in the newspapers, they would definitely cause a sensation.
The only pity for him now is that they have to return immediately after the negotiation and cannot continue to stay in Qingzhou.
However, after this agreement took effect, the relationship between Britain and the Eastern Empire would normalize, and maybe he would be able to come here again at that time.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the lobbying when he passed by Ottoman, although they were forced to make concessions in order to compromise.
But they will not give up any opportunity to cause trouble to the Chinese Empire.
They can no longer play in person, but it is still possible to encourage other countries to contain the empire. They have already conveyed the news of the cooperation between the empire and Persia to the Ottoman Sultan.
This makes the Ottoman Sultan very angry ~~ The Ottoman has always been extremely wary of the Persian feud.
Now the empire is helping Persia to establish a production line of firearms, which will inevitably make Ottoman jump, and this is true.
After learning this news, the Ottoman emperor vowed to prevent the cooperation between Persia and the Eastern Empire. He believed that a battlefield would soon come.
In addition to the Ottomans, they are still supporting Tsarist Russia, and these two countries are like two hands that restrain the eastern empire from advancing westward.
As long as it is used well, it will still cause some trouble for the Eastern Empire.
But this time he came here to realize the deepest thing that he still needs to vigorously develop science and technology. If this point continues to be left behind, no matter how many conspiracies will be in front of the mighty Eastern Empire.
Thinking of this, Brook sighed.
After staying in Qingzhou for another three days, the envoys were notified that they could leave, and the ambassadors sent by the empire went back with them.
They will represent the interests of the empire in European countries.
