Brooke stood on the battleship of the Chinese Empire with mixed emotions and looked at the city of London.

After the negotiations failed, he explained the construction of the embassy and rushed to Dengzhou, just in time for the visiting fleet to go to England.

After consulting with the Imperial Foreign Affairs Office, he was allowed to return to England on a steel warship, which took half a year on an ordinary sail warship, and three months for such a steel warship to reach Europe.

After weighing it, he still chose to rub the boat cheekily.

"Ambassador Brooke, your city of London is just fine." Yue Yun stood beside Brooke with a hint of disdain on his face.

He used to hear British prisoners of war often talk about how prosperous London was, but it was only after seeing it that he realized how far it was from the cities of the Empire.

Brooke was as embarrassed as a bragging about being exposed, arguing: "London is the busiest city in Europe, at least." “

Liu Chen and Yue Yun glanced at each other, they liked Brooke's helpless expression very much.

"Well, I hope we can have a good time in London these days, and send Ambassador Brooke ashore." Yue Yun said.

This time they had come to London in the name of a friendly visit, which needed to be informed by Brooke's visit.

A small boat was quickly put down, and Brooke hurried with his entourage towards the port of London.

The appearance of Imperial warships in British waters was quickly discovered, and it seemed that fearing an Imperial attack, at this time a large fleet of sailing warships outside the harbor was already in formation.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Brooke rowed the boat himself, and now the atmosphere of confrontation between the two armies made him a little nervous, and he was not without gains along the way, at least he really experienced the horror of these steel battleships.

This fleet of forty-two ships was enough to easily destroy all the fleets in Europe, and this gap was no longer something that could be made up by numbers.

So he is deeply afraid that his country will make the wrong decision.

But he was not the only one who was scared at this time, Vidomia, Murphy and others in the harbor were also nervously watching the steel battleship at sea.

When they learned that a large fleet was approaching London, their first reaction was that the Chinese Empire had broken the treaty and went straight to war with Britain.

"That's Brooke." Murphy pointed to the boat, "Your Majesty, the situation may not be too bad, at least they let Brooke come back." “

Vidomia's brow furrowed, no other fleet's fleet had dared to approach Britain so closely, which was clearly an insult to Britain.

Hu Chuan and Kang Ming's expressions were diametrically opposed to those of the British, and if they had not cared about diplomatic etiquette, they would have really wanted to cheer at the Imperial warships.

During this time, their time in London was not very comfortable, they were stalked, threatened, and lured, and the British tried their best to destroy their psychological defenses and let them act as double agents.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's just the freedom of navigation 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, and according to you, will British warships also be able to sail in your country's ports? ”

"Of course, as long as His Majesty's warship has the ability to get in." Hu Chuan accentuated his tone, obviously provocative.

Vidomia's hand with the white silk sleeve clenched suddenly, she took three deep breaths, and she tried to squeeze out a smile, "Ambassador Hu don't worry, it was just a joke just now. “

"I'm just joking, too." Hu Chuan took advantage of the situation to give Vidomia a step down, after all, he still has to do things in the UK, and he can't go too far.

While everyone waited, Brooke quickly went ashore and made his way to Vidomia to explain the purpose of the Empire's fleet.

Confirming that the Imperial fleet was only a visit, Vidomia's face looked a little better, and although she remained calm on the surface, she was very frightened inwardly, because just one glance at the steel ships she knew that the British navy would be defeated.

"We in England welcome a friendly visit from the Imperial Fleet, Murphy, to leave a place in the harbor for the Imperial warships to dock." Vidomia said.

Then she took a few steps forward to avoid Hu Chuan and Kang Ming, and continued: "Let Kodia take that group of scientists to board the ship, this is a rare opportunity, let them find a way to build a steel battleship." “

"Yes, Your Majesty." Murphy turned away.

Brooke said at this time: "The real purpose of this Imperial warship visit is actually to deter the British, and I hope that Your Majesty will temporarily stop threatening the Imperial Mission. “

Vidomia nodded, even a fool could see the Empire's purpose.

She sighed deeply, now that the civil strife in France was expanding, no one could be sure of André's future.

Among them were France's dissatisfaction with André's rule, as well as careerists like Henry.

At the beginning of the war, she had no doubt that André would be able to defeat Henry, but now the situation in France has taken a turn for the worse.

Based on the information she obtained, she finally understood that there was also an imperial shadow in this, and with Hu Chuan's contact with the English parliamentarians, her strategy for the empire in Europe gradually became clear.

Although the armistice was signed and the hot war ended, the secret struggle had just begun.

However, she did not sit still, and during this time he sent envoys to Prussia, and Tsarist Russia sought to form an alliance, which was the best way to counter the Empire's meddling in European affairs.

She would not sit idly by for France, the empire supported Henry, so she chose Andre, except for not sending soldiers, she provided almost all the help.

"I'll do the same, so will your negotiations be fruitful this time?" Vidomia had already guessed a few points in her heart, after all, the negotiations were successful, and the empire would not humiliate them so much.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the Empire refuses to accept any of our conditions, and they even say that force will be used if we dare to violate the agreement." Brooke said.

Vidomia was silent, and after a long time, he patted Brooke on the shoulder, "There is a saying in the Chinese Empire called revenge of a gentleman, ten years is not too late, one day we will fight back." ”

After a pause, she continued: "In that case, you are ready to go to America, fellow Anglo-Saxons, and hope that they will be on our side at a critical moment. “

"Yes, Your Majesty." Brooke said in a deep voice.

Now Britain even has to bow its head and negotiate with the betrayed colonies, which shows how determined it is to fight against the Chinese Empire Vidomia.

Thinking of this, Brooke said: "Your Majesty, now that the Empire does not accept our terms, we must find all means to obtain their technology, even if it costs a lot of money, even if it is to exchange the market and colonies for technology. ”
