Chapter 1118

"Is it possible for us to buy Steel warships?"

"The emperor has agreed to open some patents, but steel warships represent the highest level of technology of the current Empire, which may not be possible."

After elaborating the terms of the agreement one by one, the question suddenly raised by Victoria caught Hu Chuan off guard.

"It's a pity, you know, if we can get the steel warships, we in Britain will pay any price." Vidomia deliberately showed a sad look, but this did not change Hu Chuan's expression.

With a sigh, she continued, "we have admitted defeat in the ocean, but at least we want to be superior in the ocean of Europe."

Hu said that this Victoria indirectly asked whether his empire might sell steel warships to other countries to curb Britain.

He knew that even if Britain failed in India, its fleet had not yet broken its bones, because most of its warships were concentrated near Europe, South America and Africa.

With a sneer, Hu Chuan's face did not change. He said: "we are only the clerks of the Empire in Britain, who do not care about European affairs. The emperor often makes important decisions."

Victoria is really disappointed this time. If so, she dare not be careless in the implementation of the agreement.

If the eastern empire sold steel warships to other European countries, Britain's position would be unstable.

But she couldn't show her mind. With an official smile, Victoria said, "it's time for the party to start. Two messengers, please?"

As soon as her voice fell, melodious music suddenly sounded on the lawn, and the councillors and nobles on the lawn began to dance with their female companions.

Victoria personally appointed two beautiful dance partners for Hu Chuan and Kang Ming, which made them quite embarrassed.

"The sugar coated cannonball is coming. Hold on. "

Hu Chuan said to Kang Ming with a bitter smile that when he came here, the emperor had instructed them to do this.

Living in a foreign country represents the interests of the Empire. They will be easily attacked by sugar coated shells. At this time, it is time to test their will.

"The emperor is really anticipating." Kangming also has some helplessness.

However, they can't help but give the queen face on the spot, so they can only make it difficult to join the dancing army.

After the two fell on the dance floor, Murphy came to Victoria. In recent years, the failure of Britain in Asia did not weaken her rights. On the contrary, more councillors chose to support her ruling Britain.

The rise of the eastern empire made them see the advantages of imperial power. Only stable and powerful Britain could compete with the eastern empire, rather than voting noisily in the parliament.

"We don't have any chips to talk to the eastern empire, which is too passive for us. In this way, we can't get the core technology of the eastern empire through trading." Said vidomia.

”That's true, but we'll have chips soon. The friction between the Ottoman Empire and Persia is growing. We can use our role as a mediator to discuss this matter with the eastern empire. "

after a pause, Murphy continued:" there are tsarist Russia. Now tsarist Russia is fighting for Siberia with the eastern empire. The most important thing is that we just got the news that there are Imperial troops in Alaska. It seems that they are also very interested in North America. "

Vidomia nodded slightly, and a country had just been born on this land, and the relationship between this country and Britain is basically at the freezing point.

"If the news is true, it's good news. Maybe we can cooperate with the eastern empire, so that we can not only exchange some benefits by offering supplies, but also teach America a lesson." Vidomia had a dangerous look in her eyes.

It's a pity to lose India, but it's the real pain in Britain's heart to lose the traditional colony of North America.

Because the recognition of the United States in the eyes of the British is a shameless betrayal, because living in this land is the descendants of the British people, also the Anglo Saxons.

So after America won the war of independence, they still controlled America everywhere.

"That's what I mean. The eastern empire is too far away from North America. Supply is a problem. Cooperation with us can save a lot of effort." Murphy said.

"Well, it's a chip, too." Vidomia's eyes twinkle, whether it's insidious or superficial cooperation.

Now her only hope is to use them to get the necessary technology.

After the banquet lasted for two hours, Hu Chuan and Kang Ming were sent back to the hotel. When they returned to their respective rooms, they were surprised.

Because there is an extra box in their room.

Kangming carefully opened the strange box, and the golden light penetrated into his eyes. There were gold bricks in the box, but there was a dagger on the gold bricks.

There is also a note on the BRICs, which says in English: do you like it? We have more, of course, besides gold bars, we have daggers.He picked up the note and looked at it. Kang Ming crumpled it up and threw it into the garbage can. Then Hu Chuan came in from the next door and said, "these British people really spare no effort to buy us off. "

" and bribery and intimidation. " Kangming took out a dagger and put it on the table. "It seems that it is necessary for our warships to come to England for a turn, so that they can understand where they are. "

Hu Chuan is also quite angry. It is obvious that the British have not yet understood the meaning of ambassadors. If they have any problems in Britain, it is tantamount to declaring war with the Empire.

"Now I'll send the message back." Hu Chuan said in a cold voice.

……

Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming is discussing with Pang Yukun about the colonial policy. Since the end of the negotiation, he has been involved in government affairs again.

How to make the colony become the small treasury of the empire is the top priority in these government affairs.

"Since the Nanyang war, the Department of minerals has explored more than 300 mines in the Nanyang area. However, the transportation of the colonies is backward and the mining efficiency is very low. It is difficult to provide cheap ores. "Pang Yukun made an analysis to Xiao Ming.

Although many businessmen from the Empire are pouring into the colonies now, they are used to it in the efficient living environment of the Empire, and it is difficult for them to adapt to the slow pace of the colonies.

As a result, the voice of building railways in the colonies continued.

"In this case, first of all, Australia should be included in the plan. Other regions should wait for a while. After all, Australia is the most abundant in mineral resources." Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun nodded, then said: "also, according to the information brought by the exploration team, now Persia seems to be at war with Osman. I'm afraid our oil field is in danger."
