"It seems to be your internal affairs in France. The empire is not interested in your problems."
Xiao Ming did not immediately show a strong interest, but a look of indifference.
Henry said bluntly, "perhaps your majesty does not understand the current situation in Europe. Queen Victoria of England will soon have a Prussian husband. With respect, your Majesty's choice of Prussia seems to be stepping on two boats."
Xiao Ming took a sip of tea. Prussia was still flirting with Britain when he received a lot of imperial aid, which really made him unhappy.
However, international relations are always full of smiles and MMPs, and the relations between friends and enemies between countries are constantly changing.
What's more, Prussia has always been an ambitious country. If this country is strong, it will not be much better than Britain and France.
In the past, he supported Prussia in order to contain Britain and France. Now Prussia's role as a bargaining chip has been reduced, and it may become bigger in Europe after the reunification of Germany, which he can't bear.
However, Henry was an ambitious man similar to Napoleon. He didn't mind making France strong and tossing Prussia and tsarist Russia.
Since Prussia can take two steps, he can also give half of the apples to Prussia to France.
"So how can I be sure you can beat Andre and become consul? "Xiao Ming asked.
"No, I want to be the emperor of France like your majesty." Henry's brown eyes dilated and excited.
After a pause, he continued: "many young officers in the army are dissatisfied with Andre. I have won their support, but Andre is still very powerful. I'm afraid we can't succeed just because we are at a disadvantage in terms of capital and equipment."
"The emperor of France?"
Xiao Ming chuckled. The last time Henry came, he saw his dissatisfaction with the imperial envoy in his eyes.
In this way, Henry has been dissatisfied with Andre for a long time, but has been repressed in his heart.
"It's an opportunity, emperor, and it's in the interests of the Empire." Said Pang.
"If we confirm that you have this ability, we will consider it, but I can't promise you now." Xiao Ming can't give away money just because of the words of Henry's family.
"Your Majesty's caution is necessary. If your majesty believes me, he can send people to follow me back to France, and I will prove it to his majesty. "
in this negotiation, there was also a treaty on the exchange of ambassadors in the agreement between the two sides. After pondering for a moment, he said," the envoys sent by the Empire to France will inspect you, and if it is true, you will get help. "
"Thank you, your majesty." Henry's eyes sparkled and he left after thanking him again.
At this time, Xiao Ming looked at his watch and found that it was already noon. He took all the people out of the conference room to entertain the envoys and enjoy lunch in the Wei family restaurant.
Since the negotiation has come into effect, the two sides are in a state of peace on the surface, and formal etiquette is still needed.
However, Xiao Ming didn't eat here. Instead, he left Pang Yukun and took Xiao Yi out of the restaurant. He didn't participate in this kind of eating and drinking.
When he returned to the imperial study, he formally gave an order to Lei Ming. Once he received the ransom, he would release the prisoners of war who were still in India.
Then he gave an order to the Department of minerals to prepare them to go to South America and Africa to look for minerals, which were all part of the treaty.
Taking advantage of this era, he wanted to excavate the world's scarce resources and transport them to the Empire for reclamation.
If the empire is in trouble in the future, these resources will be life-saving straw.
At the same time, the envoys of various countries in the Wei family restaurant simply had a meal and asked Pang Yukun to take them to Qingzhou City for a visit.
The last time they were drunk, they got a lot of intelligence this time. They wanted to take advantage of these days to really understand the eastern empire.
Pang Yukun asked Xiao Ming for instructions. After getting a positive reply, he and his envoys went to the streets of Qingzhou.
A brief explanation of what the envoys did not know.
In his opinion, the reason why the emperor is no longer hiding is because of his confidence in the strength of the Empire. Even if these things let them see, they have little influence on the Empire.
What they want to build is a global governance system. The best way for Europe and the Middle East, which are difficult to occupy and rule, is to let them fear the empire from the heart, which is convenient for the Empire to stand on the top of the world.
One afternoon, the envoys first went to the commercial street and saw a variety of goods. Then they went to the industrial area in the suburbs.
The electric machinery in the factory surprised them and realized the gap between them and the Empire.
"While we are still complacent about improving the steam engine, the eastern empire has used electricity to push industry to another peak."
As night fell and the crowd returned to the guest house, Brooke wrote this sentence in his diary.
In addition, he also described in his diary what he saw and heard in Qingzhou. He believed that if these diaries were published in newspapers, they would cause a sensation.The only pity for him now is that they have to return immediately after the negotiation, and they can't stay in Qingzhou any longer.
However, after this Agreement comes into effect, the relationship between Britain and the eastern empire will be normalized, and then maybe he will be able to come here again.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he had been lobbying by Ottoman, although they were forced to compromise.
But they will not give up any chance to make trouble for the Chinese Empire.
They can no longer play in person, but they can still 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 Ottoman sultan very angry, and Ottoman has always been extremely vigilant against Persian feud.
Now the empire is helping Persia build a firearm production line, which is bound to make Osman jump, and so it is.
After learning the news, Emperor Osman vowed to stop the cooperation between Persia and the eastern empire. He believed that a battlefield would soon come.
In addition to Osman, they also supported tsarist Russia. These two countries were like two hands holding back the eastward empire.
As long as it is used well, it will still cause some troubles to the eastern empire.
However, what he realized most deeply this time was that he had to vigorously develop science and technology. If this point continues to be left behind, no matter how many conspiracies are in front of the powerful Eastern Empire, they will be floating clouds.
Brooke sighed at the thought.
After another three days in Qingzhou, the envoys were told to leave, and the ambassadors sent by the Empire went back with them.
They will represent the interests of the Empire in all European countries.
