Chapter 968: The British Stratagem
"Damn, the French know romance, are their think tanks all stupid. www.biquge.infoChurchill, who took the telegram and looked at it, complained very dissatisfied, putting it on the table.
The Far East can no longer be stimulated, at present, Germany has obtained airship technology from Liaodong at what cost, just a few days ago, several airships appeared in the high seas fleet circling in the sky, and even once entered the territorial waters of the empire for reconnaissance. All this shows that Germany and Liaodong are very close.
But there is one point, Germany has not yet united with Liaodong, and once they unite, it will be Britain that will lose the most. France is now going to negotiate with the imperial court at this time, and it is clear that it is to push Liaodong to the German camp, which is unbearable.
"Some time ago, we made it clear in Parliament that in order to safeguard the interests of the British Empire in the Far East, we had already decided to abandon the imperial court and establish formal diplomatic relations with Liu Jun, so as to ease the tense atmosphere since Liu Jun occupied Beijing." Hearing Churchill say this, Arthur Balfour immediately spoke.
"Yes, our imperial parliament has decided to have good relations with Liaodong, but now, France is cooperating with the imperial court at a critical moment, which is stimulating Liaodong, I think, we will send relevant personnel to Paris to negotiate this matter, so that France can terminate this cooperation with the imperial court." Churchill placed the cigarette in his hand in the crystal ashtray next to him and nodded in agreement with the Prime Minister's words.
It seems that the purpose of the two is the same, and the crux of the matter is who is the most suitable to go to France. Arthur Balfour, who thought of this, glanced at Churchill in front of him: "Why don't you go to France?" Interview President Emile-François Loubet and give them an analysis of the current environment in which we find ourselves, and hope that they will not give up the whole world for the sake of small gains. ”
Churchill already knew what the prime minister meant when he came, and after nodding slightly, Churchill stood up, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Willing to serve the prosperity of the empire." ”
Beijing, Summer Palace, under Liu Jun's forced request, everyone still agreed, Liu Jun moved from the Forbidden City to the Summer Palace. The former Buddha Xiang Pavilion has now temporarily become Liu Jun's residence and the entire ruling center of Liaodong.
"If you see it, if you look at it from here, I feel like I'm in Lushun." Liu Jun, who was standing in front of the window, took a look at Kunming Lake below, and then said to Zheng Yiqian, who was making tea for himself in front of him.
Zheng Yiqian smiled, she knew that Liu Jun couldn't let go of Lushun and moved here, just to get back the feeling of being in Lushun.
"Well, it feels like Lushun, and the only disadvantage is that there are no huge warships and whistles here."
There is a fly in the ointment, and Liu Jun, who heard this, was inevitably a little disappointed.
Zheng Yiqian saw that Liu Jun was a little disappointed in her heart, and was about to step forward to comfort her, when she saw Zhong Lin running up panting.
Everything is good here, but there are too many steps, several times better than Lushun, although this can play a role in strengthening the body, but for Zhong Lin, it is a huge pain.
"Zhong Lin is here." Zheng Yiqian, who said this, stood up and went to prepare tea for Zhong Lin, after all, Zhong Lin looked very embarrassed. It looks uncomfortable.
"Head...... But he's tired of me, and I'm so tired that I'm going to put my intelligence department here. Zhong Lin, who came in, sat on the chair, then took the tea from Zheng Yiqian and drank it with a grunt.
"Drink slowly, yes."
Seeing Zhong Lin drinking water, Liu Jun looked distressed, how long has it been since he drank water, this situation will appear.
It's so cool, Zhong Lin, who drank the water, touched his belly, and then took a few deep breaths to adjust his emotions, and then took out a telegram from his pocket: "Head, there is movement in Britain." ”
There was movement, and Liu Jun, who heard this, stood up and took the telegram from Zhong Lin's hand.
"Head, there's a telegram from London that the British Admiralty Secretary will visit French President Emile-François Lubet tomorrow," Seeing Liu Jun's confusion, Zhong Lin said again: "It's the arrogant Gallic rooster I once said." ”
Understood, the name of the French president is too long, and until now, Liu Jun doesn't know the exact name of that person, so when Zhong Lin said this person, Liu Jun didn't understand, who is this talking about, and now when he hears the rooster. Liu Jun reacted immediately.
"It seems that you guessed it right, Britain really wants to intervene in the issue of France's cooperation with the imperial court this time." Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, heard this, thought for a while and said.
On the night when Zhong Lin told Hong Kong to send a telegram to London, Zheng Yiqian discussed with Liu Jun that the purpose of the British sending the telegram this time, and in the end, Liu Jun deduced that the British should be interfering in the cooperation between the French and the imperial court this time, Zheng Yiqian was still a little unconvinced at that time, but now. It's only been a few days, and it's all become a reality.
"Head, did you already know where the British would go to the Gallic rooster?" Zhong Lin asked with a puzzled look when he heard Zheng Yiqian say that.
"Well, I know, but I wasn't sure at the time, but now it's certain." Speaking of this, Liu Jun took a look: "The Vietnamese station that can be allowed to stop its activities has stopped, and the cooperation between France and the imperial court this time is in vain." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he opened a document from the side with a smile on his face.
Zhong Lin reacted relatively slowly, lowered his head and thought for a while before he raised his head: "You mean, the British visited the Gallic Rooster this time to prevent France from cooperating with the imperial court?" ”
"Yes, because Britain is now worried, we are walking with Germany." Seeing that Zhong Lin still didn't understand, Liu Jun directly broke it.
What, isn't it just walking with Germany, it's been almost two years together, what's so strange, hearing Liu Jun say this, Zhong Lin muttered.
This bastard, seeing what Zhong Lin is like, Liu Jun took a deep breath, yes, now he and Germany are indeed together, but Britain and France don't know that they have to do this in order to protect their interests in Asia, otherwise when the time comes, they will be able to make Britain unable to care about each other from now on. At that time, once the war is plunged, Britain's forces in Asia will not be transferred to Asia at all, and they will have to guard against attacking themselves.
"You know, but he doesn't know in Britain, Britain is a selfish ghost, and he worries about his interests in Asia, you see." (To be continued.) )
