Out of the conference room, Zhou Xiuying pulled Wang Feng: "Why are you going out again?" How long has it been since I was back? And it's the United States farther away, you can't honestly stay at home and pay public rations? People Ba Yi came all the way to China, just waiting for you to fulfill your obligations. “

"Big girl, why are you so open? Can I take this as a hint to me? Implying that I will also pay you public rations? Wang Feng looked at Zhou Xiuying dumbfounded.

"!" Zhou Xiuying's face was slightly red, and she said, "I should have paid the public grain, what?" Am I wrong? Of course, Shui Jiao and I don't need your public rations. "That's a shame!" Wang Feng spread his hands in disappointment: "There is one thing I have to figure out, otherwise, I always have concerns in my heart, which is commonly known as the demon of the heart, if this demon is not removed, I am likely to be unable to conflict with a higher level for the rest of my life, which also means that your virgin career will be delayed indefinitely." "Here we go again!" Zhou Xiuying glared at Wang Feng with disgust, and then asked, "Is it for Lan'er?" "Hmm!" Wang Feng nodded vigorously: "That's my child, I must see it, if possible, I will bring him to China, I can't accept it, let Yixun raise the meeting in his hands, oh, if you come to the Buddha, I will have nightmares." "That must be a slave master with a mouthful of mouths, maybe he is still dragging a pigtail!" Yang Shuijiao grinned: "You really should go, because you usually have no reason to go to Dajin Country, and if you go to the United States to fight, you have every reason to go around from Australia." “

Wang Feng was extremely depressed, and beckoned with a not very good-looking face: "If the trip to the United States goes well, I will also take the navy and the army to attack the Russian Baltic Fleet. Let's go to the side to rest and strive to publish the Sino-British Joint Communiqué before noon. As he spoke, he walked forward with his hands behind his back.

……

The Sino-British Joint Communiqué was officially published before noon, and it has not yet stirred up much turmoil. After all, it takes several days to communicate from China to Europe, and to the United States, it can only be conveyed by manpower.

Not surprisingly, however, the US minister to China lodged a protest, and Li Hongzhang accepted it in full, while the French, Italian, Portuguese, Austrian, and German ministers in China inquired about the situation, and they had a keen premonition that the communiqué was keenly aware. I am afraid that it will have a far-reaching impact on the situation in the United States, and they are desperate to know more about the inside story, but no matter which side of China and Britain is, they are tight-lipped.

In the following days, the Queen, accompanied by Alice's father and daughter, traveled around the mountains and rivers, including traditional scenic spots such as Xuanwu Lake, Mochou Lake, and Swallow Rock, as well as some modern factories and scientific research departments. He sat down and talked with the British expatriates who settled in Nanjing, and also put on an image of being close to the people and went deep into the ordinary homes of ordinary people in Nanjing. After eating an authentic family dinner and going out on the streets, she danced a square dance with her aunts, and suddenly, the queen's popularity in China exploded, which also brought her a very novel feeling.

Meanwhile. Negotiations between the relevant departments are also in full swing, and finally a package agreement has been reached on general industrial goods, including metal products, cotton cloth, primary processed products and general machinery, that is, the Chinese side will increase the price by between 10% and 15%, and the British side will increase the price by between 75% and 115%. And use this as a reference as a basis for sanctions against Europe.

In addition, the two sides also reached an agreement on cultural exchanges, first of all, archaeological exchanges, which is an area that Wang Feng attaches great importance to, China will send an archaeological team, accompanied by British experts and scholars, to participate in the excavation of the Egyptian pyramids, and in return, China allows British personnel to participate in the excavation of Yinxu, followed by starting next year, the two sides will send 1,000 students under the age of 15 to each other's countries every year to study, including science and technology, theoretical physics, mathematics, chemistry, literature, engineering and many other disciplines, with a five-year education period. The term is tentatively set at 10 years, after which the country will not be allowed to stay in the host country, and China will also invest in the UK to establish new industries such as chemical plants, oil refineries, power plants and automobile factories.

For these industries, Wang Feng didn't plan to hide his armpits, why not sell them when he could still sell them at a good price? For the real high-tech industries and military industry, it is impossible to take out, such as optical instruments, gas turbines, engines, etc.

But for Wang Feng, the most important agreement, in addition to the ones he personally participated in the negotiations, is the establishment of a Sino-British joint venture in London Metal Exchange, you know, this exchange until the 21st century is a bull competition, with pricing power over metals, is expected to be completed in two years, the Chinese side holds 21% of the shares, in return, three years later in Shanghai to establish the Shanghai Metal Exchange, the British side holds 25% of the shares.

This can't be helped, Lun was already the metal trading center of Europe at that time, and China is still a blank in this regard, Britain has the capital, this kind of thing can not be solved by force or simple economy, look at the current Red Dynasty to know, even if the GDP is the second in the world, but in terms of pricing power, it is still controlled by Western countries, China's participation in the London Metal Exchange, is the first step towards independent pricing power.

The second important agreement is that China and Britain will jointly put pressure on France to participate in the construction of the Suez Canal, which is currently being built by a French company, which has not been dug up for seven years since 1858, which is a serious obstacle to the economic and trade exchanges between China and Europe.

On the morning of 11 April, Wang Feng personally led government dignitaries to send the queen and her entourage to the platform of the railway station, where they will take a special train to Suzhou for inspection, where they will be received by the Jiangsu Provincial Government, and will leave China by boat in Shanghai on 14 April, ending their entire visit.

A month after the queen's departure, that is, on May 15, Wang Feng left Nanjing with the East China Sea Fleet, accompanied by more than 30 frigates, including Li Mu and Meng Tian, as well as the latest construction, two ironclad ships of 6,400 tons, which were classified into the ranks of cruisers, with the port numbers 101 and 102 respectively, named Huo Qubing and Han Zaixing, which were still twin engines of steam engines and gas turbines, equipped with six 152 mm naval guns and eighteen 122 mm naval guns. Equipped with six torpedo tubes and eighteen torpedoes, the firepower is extremely powerful, and Huo Qubing is Wang Feng's flagship.

In addition, there were 400 transport ships, carrying the strength of two divisions of the Marine Corps, food supplies, weapons and ammunition to aid the Southern Army, 10 oceanographic survey ships, and two icebreakers were specially called in to take into account the need to sail in the Arctic Ocean.
