Royal study.
Pang Yukun put a document in front of Xiao Ming, "emperor, this is the purpose of Brooke's visit to Qingzhou."
"Steel making technology, high precision machine tools, metal bullet casting technology." Xiao Ming read the document on Brooke's asking price, feel very ridiculous.
Pang Yukun also couldn't laugh or cry, he said: "the British people's brain is really in the water, do they still think they have the right to ask the Empire for a price? "
" the arrogance of these Westerners can't be changed for a while, but they will soon understand where they should be. "Xiao Ming said coldly.
"How can I reply to Brooke? In addition to discussing these issues, Brooke also brought the British Embassy to set up an embassy in Qingzhou. "Asked Pang.
Xiao Ming is still reading the documents. The strength of the British bid comes from three aspects: the first is the war between Ottoman and Persia; the second is the strategy of the Empire in North America; the third is the war between tsarist Russia and the Empire in Central Asia.
According to Brooke, as long as the Empire agreed to export these three technologies to Britain, Britain would mediate the war between Persia and Ottoman, provide help for the Empire's soldiers in North America, and attack the United States together. "
at the same time, they will also side with the Empire on the issue of tsarist Russia.
"Go and tell Brooke that Persia will certainly defeat the Ottoman Empire in the next three months. It does not need the mediation of Britain. In addition, there is no problem in the North American supplies of the Empire, and it does not need Britain's intervention. For tsarist Russia, the Empire will teach them a lesson. "Xiao Ming said in a strong tone.
Pang Yukun smiles, "I'll go back and tell Brooke that his face will be very ugly. "
seeing off Pang Yukun, Xiao Ming remembered the news from Hu about bribery and threats from Britain.
He made a phone call to Yue Yun and asked him to send a team of 42 warships on a "friendly" visit to Britain.
Dengzhou.
After Yue Yun receives Xiao Ming's phone call, he looks excited. Liu Chen asks, "is there another fight?"
"No Yue Yun's smile continued.
Liu Chen showed a look of disappointment, "what else can you do to make you happy?"
”The emperor asked us to send a fleet to Britain for a friendly visit. " Yue Yun said.
Liu Chen did not understand, "a friendly visit to Britain? What's friendly with the robbers? "
Yue Yun got up and came to the map of the world hanging in the office. He said," this friendship is not really friendship, but to show the strength of the Imperial Navy to Britain. "
As soon as Liu Chen became interested, "Hey, this is interesting. Anyway, he is idle now. Why don't you go to England for a tour, and then walk around the European coast, so that those Europeans can see the strength of the Imperial Navy."
"That's what the emperor meant." After that, Yue Yun walked out of the office and looked down at the steel warships moored in the Dengzhou military harbor.
It has been two years since the war of India. In these two years, the number of warships of the Empire has increased from 30 to 120.
Today, the Empire's steel warships can be seen on important routes all over the world, and some of them are even equipped with the Empire's radio system. Through the radio, the warships can communicate with each other, making the cooperation between warships achieve a leap.
With the increase of the number of warships, the establishment of the Imperial Navy has been re divided, and the former Qingzhou fleet has been officially renamed the Pacific Fleet.
In addition, the Empire also set up the Atlantic Fleet, the Indian Ocean Fleet, the Arctic fleet, each ocean fleet is composed of three fleets, together, the Empire will have a total of 12 fleets.
These twelve fleets will rule the whole ocean.
However, although the number has been changed, the number of warships in the empire is not enough to be allocated to all fleets.
So at present, only the Pacific Fleet and the Indian ocean fleet are equipped with 40 and 80 warships respectively.
The remaining two ocean fleets still need to wait for warships to be launched.
"Thirty warships from the Pacific Fleet and twelve from the Indian Ocean Fleet. This time we are going to make Europe tremble in front of the imperial warships. "Yue Yun is in high spirits.
……
Qingzhou.
Brooke soon got Pang Yukun's disappointing reply. The Queen's confident trading chips were a bad card in front of the Empire, and did not even cause a stir.
And from the beginning to the end, the Imperial Emperor and cabinet ministers did not personally come to see him, only through Tang Wenjie to convey their meaning.
Just from this point, it can be seen that they overestimated the importance of the Empire to them, and the first power in Europe was only dispensable in the eyes of the Empire.
"Ambassador Brooke, the cabinet has decided on the location of the British Embassy. From now on, you can make preparations." Tang Wenjie forced himself to smile.
After Brooke exchanged these views with him, he told Brooke that the Empire could not do business with Britain.Now the facts have proved his judgment, because for the Empire, it is fully capable of coping with the current situation, while the technology required by Britain is strictly blocked for the Empire.
Brooke's mood sank to the bottom of the valley. After six months of trekking, nothing came in exchange. No one would be in a good mood.
"I hope you can seriously consider that Persia has been occupied by Ottoman for a third of its territory, and they are not likely to turn defeat into victory." There was a warning in Brooke's words.
Tang Wenjie's face did not change. They knew for a long time that Europe was playing a trick in Ottoman's attack on Persia.
It can be said that behind the war between Ottoman and Persia is actually the game between Europe and Empire in Central Asia.
If the Empire agreed to the British conditions, then the Empire failed in the game.
In his opinion, this is of course intolerable to the Empire. Moreover, it is absurd for the west to just give some obsolete weapons to Osman to get the technology of the empire through this.
"Pang has clearly told me that there is no room for maneuver in this matter, and the Empire will not accept any compromise." Tang Wenjie said word by word.
Brooke opened his mouth and looked very ugly. This time, he was destined to return empty handed. As a last resort, he threatened: "doesn't the Empire want the British market?"
”This is clearly stipulated in the armistice agreement. What do you mean? "Tang Wenjie cautioned.
"Sometimes an agreement is just a scrap of paper. "Brooke is aggressive.
”Sometimes children are spanked if they are not obedient. "Tang Wenjie did not give in, implying that the Empire would use force to force Britain to carry out the agreement.
