The British ambassador calmed down his excitement and looked at how Li Tai spoke, "You must know that our British Empire, on the land of Asia, looks majestic, yes, very majestic, turned India into the most brilliant pearl in the Queen's crown, and defeated the current one," Li Tai pointed to the ground under his feet, "It looks like such a powerful country, so in Asia, in the whole world, it is us British, but, in fact, we are not so good, except for India, we have no better base in Asia." , John, the French have already begun to occupy Indochina, the Suman Islands are the world of the Spaniards and the Portuguese, in this case, if we master the waters of China, then from the Indian Ocean to Malacca, to the Pacific Ocean, except for that damn American, the whole world is coherent! Li Taitai exaggerated his arms outstretched, like a clumsy fat duck, trying to spread his wings and fly high, "You say why I want to be uncompromising, to keep the Chinese away from our fleet, away from the fleet they paid for, do you understand?" ”

"I understand your thoughts, Nelson," replied the British ambassador, rolling his eyes, "because you have told me more than ten times!" Of course I understand your thoughts, and I am grateful that you gave up your honor for the British Empire, even at the cost of violating the contract for the purchase of warships, but, Nelson, the Chinese are not idiots, they will not let such a thing happen, just like we will not let the emperors and princes of India have their own troops, don't look at them all with stupid and ugly pig tails, but their heads are the most calculating among the Asians - certainly not compared to us British. Pen ~ fun ~ www.biquge.info but the popular novels they wrote hide the art of war, otherwise how do you think those British soldiers who died before reaching the Yongtong Bridge could see God? It's all written in novels! ”

"If we defeat the Chinese, of course, there is nothing to say, but before we lost, and to speak in conscience, here in China, since the Empress Dowager came to power, the attitude towards us foreigners is not blindly evasive, you should also know that the Chinese have always been hostile to us people, this Beijing Treaty can bring at least six million taels of additional income to the empire every year!" It's so much every year! You know, what we pay is nothing more than some old ships that are about to be eliminated, since we can make money in business, why fight? You must know that the hapless Erjin only brought two hundred taels of silver to the empire, and with it all the interruption of Sino-British trade, and the Chinese will now use the interruption of trade, especially those arms or opium trade, to make us obey his advice! ”

"The Chinese Prime Minister has already sent a note to me and lodged a solemn protest with me, saying that your actions this time have greatly damaged the friendly relations between China and Britain for generations (Tu...... And ask me whether the General Department of Customs can fully represent the meaning of the British side, and whether I am not ready to continue to buy warships with the Chinese, and the annual renewal contract continues, if the British are not willing to sell, the Chinese can find other sellers! ”

"The fleet of the British Empire is invincible in the world, and it is impossible for the Chinese to find a better seller than the British fleet!" Li Taitai scoffed at Prince Gong's words, "He's lying." ”

"He's not lying." The British ambassador sadly found that Li Tai's IQ had been reduced to a level that ordinary people were inferior, and he was too lazy to sell Guanzi, so he said quietly, "Prince Gong said that the Chinese are not ready to go to war with the British at sea anyway, as long as they protect Gyeonggi and patrol the inland sea, it is acceptable without too advanced ships." I just got the news, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you in such a hurry, Prime Minister Yamen has already started negotiations with the Russian ambassador, yes, the bearded polar bear who knows how to look at people, and he has begun negotiations about the treaty ports in the northwest and northeast, and, "the British ambassador groaned in despair," and the Prime Minister Yamen also threw out an olive branch about the purchase of warships! ”

"What ?!?!" Li Tai was taken aback, "Are the Chinese crazy?" You must know that Russia is the closest to China, and according to the ruling ideas of the Chinese Queen Mother, the two-headed eagle will not be given the opportunity to get involved in China! Li Tai's eyes rolled, "It's the Chinese who want to deceive us again, John, this is a trick of the Chinese!" The Chinese can buy our fleet, but they will certainly not give the Russians this business, because in the great powers, only the Russians have an irrepressible desire for the territory of the Chinese, so this is definitely fake news! ”

Before the British ambassador could speak, Li Taitai's attendant stumbled in, "Sir, sir, I'm sorry to disturb you two, but I have to report something," the attendant stammered, "There is news from Shanghai that the French fleet has been delivered!" (To be continued.) )
