"This seems to be your internal affair in France, and the Empire is not interested in your problems. ”

Xiao Ming did not immediately show strong interest, but looked indifferent.

Henry said bluntly, "Perhaps Your Majesty does not understand the current situation in Europe, Queen Victoria of England will soon have a Prussian husband, and with all due respect, the Prussia chosen by Your Majesty seems to be stepping on two boats." ”

Xiao Ming took a sip of tea, Prussia was still eye-to-eye with Britain when he received a lot of aid from the Empire, which really made him unhappy.

However, international relations have always been about a smile on the face, MMP in the heart, and the relationship between friends and foes between countries is constantly changing.

Moreover, Prussia has always been a very ambitious country, and if this country were strong, it would not be much stronger than Britain and France.

In the past, he supported Prussia in order to contain Britain and France, but now Prussia's role as a bargaining chip has been reduced, and it may become bigger in Europe after the unification of Germany, which makes him unbearable.

How this Henry was a careerist similar to Napoleon, he didn't mind making France strong and tossing Prussia and Tsarist Russia.

Since Prussia was able to step on two boats, he could also give half of the apples to Prussia to France.

"So how can I be sure that you will be able to defeat André and become an archon?" Xiao Ming asked.

"No, I want to be the Emperor of France like you, Your Majesty." The pupils in Henry's brown eyes dilated, and he was very excited.

After a pause, he continued: "Many young officers in the army are already dissatisfied with Andrei, and I have won their support, but Andrei's power is still very large, and I am afraid that we will not succeed alone, because we are at a disadvantage in terms of funds and equipment and materials. ”

"The Emperor of France?"

Xiao Ming laughed lightly, the last time this Henry came, he saw in Henry's eyes that he was dissatisfied with the envoy to the empire.

Thinking about it this way, this Henry has been dissatisfied with Andre for a long time, but he has always suppressed it in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this is an opportunity, and it is also in the interests of the empire." Pang Yukun said.

"We'll consider it if we confirm that you have the ability, but I can't promise you just yet." Xiao Ming couldn't throw money because of Henry's family's words.

"Your Majesty's prudence is necessary, and if Your Majesty believes me, you can send someone to follow me back to France, and I will prove it to Your Majesty."

In this negotiation, the agreement between the two sides also included a treaty for the exchange of ambassadors, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The emissaries sent by the Empire to France will examine you, and if it is true, you will be helped." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Henry's eyes sparkled, and he thanked him again before leaving.

Xiao Ming glanced at his watch at this time, and found that it was already noon, so he led everyone out of the conference room to entertain the envoys and enjoy lunch in the Wei family restaurant.

Now that the negotiations have come into effect, the two sides are ostensibly at peace, and formal etiquette is still needed.

However, Xiao Ming did not eat here, but left Pang Yukun and took Xiao Yi out of the restaurant by himself, so he did not participate in this kind of eating and drinking.

When he returned to the Imperial Study, he officially gave Lei Ming an order to release the prisoners of war who were still in India once he received the ransom.

He then ordered the Department of Minerals to prepare for minerals in South America and Africa, which were part of the treaty.

Taking advantage of this era, he wants to dig up the world's scarce resources and transport them to the empire to reclaim land.

He also did this in preparation for a rainy day, and if the empire was in trouble in the future, these resources would be a lifesaver.

At the same time, the envoys of various countries in the Wei family restaurant had a simple meal and asked Pang Yukun to take them to Qingzhou City to visit.

The last time they were drunk, this time they were a lot smarter, and they wanted to take advantage of the past few days to really understand this Eastern Empire.

Pang Yukun consulted Xiao Ming, and after receiving a positive answer, he walked on the streets of Qingzhou with the envoys.

A brief explanation of what the envoys did not understand.

In his opinion, the reason why the emperor is no longer hiding is because of his confidence in the strength of the empire, even if these things make them look at it, the impact on the empire is minimal.

And what they want to build is a global governance system, and the best way to do this for Europe, the Middle East, and other regions that are difficult to occupy and difficult to rule is to let them fear the empire from the bottom of their hearts, so that the empire can stand on top of the world.

In the afternoon, the envoys first went to the shopping street, where they saw the dazzling array of goods, and then they went to the industrial area of the suburbs.

The electrical machinery in the factory amazed them, truly recognizing the gap between them and the Empire.

"While we were still complacent about improving the steam engine, the Eastern Empire had already used electricity to propel industry to another level."

As night fell, the group returned to the guest house, which Brooke wrote in his diary.

In addition, he also described in his diary a lot of what he saw and heard in Qingzhou, and he believed that if these diaries were published in the newspaper, they would cause a sensation.

The only thing he regrets now is that they will return immediately after the negotiations are over, and they will not be able to continue to stay in Qingzhou for longer.

However, after this agreement comes into effect, relations between Britain and the Eastern Empire will be normalized, and he may be able to come here again.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he had been persuaded by the Ottomans, although they were forced to give in and compromise.

But they will not give up any opportunity to cause trouble for the Chinese Empire.

They could no longer play in person, but it was still possible to encourage other countries to contain the Empire, and they had already conveyed the news of the Empire's cooperation with Persia to the Ottoman Sultan.

This made the Ottoman Sultan very angry, and he had always been extremely wary of the Persian feud Ottoman.

Now the empire is helping Persia to build a line of firearms, which is bound to make the Ottomans jump on their feet, and this is exactly what happened.

Upon hearing the news, the Ottoman Emperor vowed to prevent cooperation between Persia and the Eastern Empire, believing that a war was soon to come.

In addition to the Ottomans, they were also supporting Tsarist Russia, and these two countries were like two hands that held back the westward expansion of the Eastern Empire.

As long as it is used well, it will still cause some trouble for the Eastern Empire.

But what he realized most about this time was that he also had to vigorously develop science and technology, and if this point continued to be left behind, no matter how many conspiracies he could, he would be a floating cloud in front of the powerful Eastern Empire.

Thinking of this, Brooke sighed.

After three more days in Qingzhou, the envoys were told to leave, along with the ambassadors sent by the Empire.

They would represent the interests of the empire in the countries of Europe.
