Dengzhou.
Brooke looked at the wide asphalt road, and the shuttling cars felt like a dream.
Now this is the third time that he has been ordered to negotiate with the Chinese Empire, but this time it is the worst.
By the time he came to Qingzhou, Prussia, Austria and France had become a pot of porridge in Europe.
According to their expectations, even if Czarist Russia did not participate, Prussia and Austria would be enough to defeat Henry and eradicate the most unstable element in Europe.
But surprisingly, high-ranking officers in Prussia and Austria were frequently shot and killed on the battlefield, which made the two countries' military command in chaos.
However, at this time, Prussia showed its hidden strength for many years. The Prussian army equipped with rear mounted firing rifles was no less than Henry's army, and even had a slight advantage.
So even in the case of heavy losses of senior generals, Prussia and Henry still did not win or lose in the battlefield.
However, Austria was not so lucky. When the firearms were two generations behind Henry's army, and the officers died frequently, the Austrian army soon changed from offensive to defensive after entering France.
After analyzing the current situation, Brooke and vidomia believe that it is only a matter of time before Henry replaces France.
But after the war, France, Prussia and Austria will need some time to recuperate, and there is little hope of joining hands against the eastern empire.
It was on this basis that he came here again.
"In two years, I didn't expect such a big change here." Brooke is a little sad. He looks up to the eastern empire now, just as the natives looked up to Britain in those days.
In the streets of Dengzhou full of tall buildings, he suddenly felt very small.
Different from the previous two times, they were not received by any imperial officials this time. This kind of cold treatment made Brooke understand that in the eyes of the Empire, Britain had no qualification for negotiation.
With a slight sigh, Brooke led his entourage to Dengzhou station to buy tickets and set foot on the bus to Qingzhou.
Meanwhile, when Brooke arrived in Dengzhou, Xiao Ming received a phone call.
Hang up the phone, he sneered, said to Pang Yukun: "these Englishmen really don't see the coffin, don't cry, toast don't eat wine."
"No, if we don't do a good business, we have to do something. This time we must beat them hard." Pang Yukun said with a cold hum.
Xiao Ming nodded, he said: "it's natural. You should work out the strict negotiation conditions. If they don't agree, they will continue to blockade Britain until they agree."
"Yes, Emperor. "Pang Yukun said with a bad smile.
In the afternoon, Brooke arrived in Qingzhou. As last time, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun did not go to see Brooke, but still let Tang Wenjie come forward.
In the morning, Pang Yukun had already revealed the terms of the negotiation to him, and now he has a clear idea.
In the meeting room of Wei's restaurant, Tang Wenjie sits opposite to Brooke's people.
In the face of Brooke, Tang Wenjie deliberately showed a very arrogant attitude. What Britain did made the Empire shameless. In the face of the British envoys, they didn't have to smile.
"Bang! "After sitting down, Tang Wenjie directly threw the proposed treaty in front of Brooke. He said:" this is the condition of the Empire. If you can't agree, please go back. "
Tang Wenjie's rude action immediately made the British envoys look angry, but they had to bear it.
Taking a deep breath, Brooke opened the treaty with trembling hands, only looked at the first page, and then angrily closed the document.
"No way. You are humiliating Britain. We can't loan London to you." Brooke roared like an angry lion.
Before he came, he had thought that the Empire would put forward harsh conditions, but he had no idea that the Empire would put forward such unbearable conditions.
It's just enough to rent London, but the rent of Empire renting London is a golden dragon, which is a shame to them.
Tang Wenjie looked indifferent. "If you can't accept it, you can leave now. This is the condition of the Empire and will not be changed. "
Brooke held on to the treaty, and he yelled," you're lying too much! "
" pop! "Tang Wenjie then slapped the table heavily and stood up again," he said? After the last treaty, the Empire thought you would be honest, but what about you? The diplomats who threatened the Empire seized the imperial fleet. For this reason, commander Yue Yun, commander of the Imperial Navy, was directly dismissed. Compared with this, you are deceiving people too much. "
Brooke was speechless.
Seeing this, Tang Wenjie snorted heavily and said, "the treaty is not finished yet. Go on, it's just the first one. What's next? If you want to discuss it this time, you can discuss it together. Don't come back and forth. It's very far. "
Brooke felt as if he was in a cold winter. He continued to watch. In addition to renting London, the Empire also asked Britain to abolish the pound and circulate the imperial golden dragon as a trade currency. The market asked Britain to abolish all self-protection trade policies, give the Empire the most preferential treatment, and impose no tariff on imperial goods. In military terms, Britain should not With regular troops, only a small number of troops are reserved for self-defense. Military industry is not allowed to develop any lethal weapons that threaten the Empire. At the same time, the empire is allowed to garrison troops in Britain.After reading these, Brooke felt that he was about to commit a heart attack, but the treaty was not over. In the last article, the Empire asked for the trial of the war criminals who launched the war. The purpose of the Empire was to suppress the hardliners in Britain and support the pro imperialist faction to come to power.
Tang Wenjie drinks tea leisurely while observing Brooke's expression.
The purpose of these treaties is obvious. Once Britain agrees to these conditions, Britain will become a colony of the Empire.
The Empire's choice has its own deep meaning.
First of all, Britain is the threat of the Empire in Europe. In this way, Britain will be completely castrated by the Empire. Second, Britain has always been Europe's troublemaker in history, and has been responsible for messing up Europe.
This nail left by the empire can be used when powerful countries emerge in Europe, so that the empire can save a lot of strength in Europe.
"I can't promise. I won't even die." Brooke's voice trembles. Once he signs a document, he will be nailed to the stigma of history forever.
Tang Wenjie didn't speak either. He stood up, motioned to his subordinates to open the door of the conference room, and then made a "please" sign, meaning to let Brooke "go away".
