Brooke stood on the warship of the Chinese Empire looking at the city of London in a mixed mood.
After the failure of the negotiation, he explained the construction of the embassy and rushed to Dengzhou. At this time, he was just in time for the visiting fleet to go to Britain.
After a discussion with the Foreign Affairs Office of the Empire, he was allowed to return to England by steel warship. After all, it took half a year to travel by ordinary sail warship, but it only took three months for this kind of steel warship to arrive in Europe.
Under the measure, he still chose to brazenly rub the boat.
"Ambassador Brooke, your city of London is just average. "Yue Yun stood beside Brooke with a trace of disdain on his face.
In the past, he often heard British prisoners of war say how prosperous London was. After seeing it, he realized how far it was from the imperial city.
As embarrassed as being exposed, Brooke argued: "at least London is the most prosperous city in Europe. "
Liu Chen and Yue Yun look at each other. They like Brooke's helpless expression.
"Well, I hope we can have a good time in London these days and send Ambassador Brooke ashore. "Said Yue Yun.
This time they came to London in the name of a friendly visit, which Brooke needs to tell us.
A small boat was soon put down, and Brooke was busy with his entourage to the port of London.
The imperial warships appeared in the British waters and were soon found. They seemed to be worried about the imperial attack. At this time, a huge fleet of windsurfing warships outside the port was ready.
"Come on, come on!"
Brooke rowed himself in the boat. Now the atmosphere of confrontation between the two armies makes him a little nervous. Along the way, he is not without harvest. At least he really realized the horror of these steel warships.
This fleet of 42 is enough to easily destroy all the fleets in Europe, and this gap can not be made up by quantity.
So he was afraid that his country would make the wrong decision.
However, he is not the only one who is afraid at this time. On the harbor, Victoria, Murphy and others are also nervously watching the steel warships on the sea.
When they learned that a huge fleet was approaching London, their first reaction was that the Chinese Empire tore up the treaty and went to war directly against Britain.
"That's Brooke." Murphy pointed to the boat. "Your Majesty, it may not be too bad. At least they let Brooke come back. "
Victoria frowned. No other fleet dared to get so close to Britain. This is an insult to Britain.
Hu Chuan and Kang Ming's expression is opposite to that of the British. If they are not worried about diplomatic etiquette, they really want to cheer for the imperial warships.
During this period of time, they were not very comfortable in London. They were followed, threatened and lured. The British tried their best to destroy their inner defense and let them act as double agents.
"Don't worry, your majesty. It's just the free sailing of imperial warships in Europe. "Hu Chuan said lightly.
Vidomia's face suddenly turned ugly. "Free sailing? When will your warships be able to sail freely in British waters? According to you, will British warships also be able to enter your ports? "
"Of course, as long as your Majesty's warship has the ability to go in." Hu Chuan accentuated the tone, obviously with a provocative meaning.
Vidomia clenched her white silk hand and took three deep breaths. She tried to smile. "Ambassador Hu doesn't have to worry. It was just a joke. "
" I'm just kidding. "Hu Chuan took advantage of the situation and gave Victoria a step down. After all, he had to work in England, so he couldn't go too far.
In the waiting, Brooke quickly went ashore. He came all the way to Victoria to explain the purpose of the imperial fleet.
After confirming that the imperial fleet was just a visit, Victoria's face looked better. Although she maintained calm on the surface, she was very afraid in her heart, because she knew that the British navy would be defeated just by looking at these steel warships.
”We in Britain welcome the friendly visit of the imperial fleet, Murphy, leaving a place in the harbor for the imperial warships to dock. "Said vidomia.
Then she took a few steps forward to avoid Hu Chuan and Kang Ming, and continued: "let kodia take that group of scientists on board. This is a rare opportunity. Let them find a way to make steel warships. "
" yes, your majesty. " Murphy turned and left.
Brooke then said: "the apparent purpose of this visit by the warships of the empire is to deter Britain. I hope your majesty will stop threatening the imperial mission temporarily. "
Victoria nodded, and even a fool could see the purpose of the Empire.
She sighed deeply. Now that the civil strife in France is expanding, no one can be sure of Andre's future.
Among them are France's dissatisfaction with Andre's administration and Henry's ambition.
At the beginning of the war, she had no doubt that Andre could defeat Henry, but now the situation in France is turning.
Based on the comprehensive information, she finally realized that there was a shadow of the Empire. In addition to Hu's contact with the British Parliament, her strategy for the Empire in Europe became clear.Although the armistice agreement was signed and the hot war ended, the secret fight has just begun.
However, she did not wait to die. During this period, he sent envoys to Prussia one after another, and tsarist Russia sought to form an alliance, which was the best way to fight against the imperial intervention in European affairs.
For France, she would not sit idly by. The Empire supported Henry, so she chose Andre. Except for not sending soldiers, she provided almost all the help.
"I'll do it. Is your negotiation fruitful?" Vidomia had guessed a little. After all, the negotiation was successful, and the Empire would not humiliate them so much.
”Sorry, sire, the Empire refused to accept any of our terms. They even said that if we dare to violate the agreement, we will use force. "Said Brooke.
Vidomia was silent for a long time. He patted Brooke on the shoulder. "There is a saying in the Chinese empire that a gentleman takes revenge. It's not too late in ten years. One day we will fight back."
After a pause, she continued, "in that case, you are going to America, the same Anglo Saxon, hoping that they will be on our side at the critical moment. "
" yes, your majesty. "Said Brooke in a deep voice.
Now Britain even has to lower its head to negotiate with the betrayed colonies, which shows how determined it is to fight against the Chinese Empire Victoria.
With this in mind, Brooke said, "Your Majesty, since the Empire does not accept our terms, we have to find every way to obtain their technology, even if we spend a lot of money, even if we exchange the market and colony for technology."
