Iron Dynasty

At night, Brook stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the reception and looked at the lights of thousands of homes in Qingzhou City, and he was quite uncomfortable.

Behind him Henry was sitting on a chair eating steak, the aroma permeating the whole room.

Rod sat opposite Henry and was eating the same food. After returning to Europe, he missed Qingzhou's dish, because it seemed more authentic than European steak.

The Spanish and Portuguese envoys were there, and they had just woken up from drunkenness to get together to discuss tomorrow's negotiations.

Because they need to agree on something.

What a beautiful night view, it's a pity it's not London. Brooke finally sighed, and they lived on the sixth floor of the reception.

From here, you can see far away, wide roads, street lights on both sides, as well as the bustling commercial street and the bicycles passing by.

This is the reason for our defeat. This is a world that we cannot understand. We must put down our arrogance and admit that this eastern empire is stronger than any country in Europe, and at the same time establish good relations to get help from here. Henry said lightly. .

Rhodes naturally agrees with Henry's words. He has strongly opposed this war from the beginning, but he is too small and has no right to speak in the Netherlands.

I've lived here for a long time, and believe me, there's definitely more to this empire than you can see.

Brooke frowned, So tomorrow we should show our joint will and let them give up the idea of ​​continuing westward. For this reason, we can give up some interests. If you succumb in private negotiations, this will be very important to our trip. It's a disaster.

Can you guarantee that you won't betray us? Henry's eyes flashed a strange light.

Unlike being forced to be sent here several times, this time Henry took the initiative to request to go here.

The defeat of France in Europe had a great shock at home, and the voice of opposition to Andre in the country was getting stronger and stronger.

France has had few major war victories since André took the position of consul.

The defeat of India also meant that they also lost the Asian colony of East Indochina.

There are now more and more voices calling for a stronger leader to lead France back to glory, especially as Prussia grows stronger.

Brook was calm on the surface, and he was also worried by Henry. This negotiation is very important. They are all fighting for the interests of their own countries, and it is impossible to be completely consistent.

All he wanted to say was to maintain a semblance of unity so they could have a bigger stake.

Henry, you know what I mean, this is not the time to demolish each other, it is equally important to you France.

Rhodes' eyes swam back and forth between Brooke and Henry.

There is no doubt that Britain and France would remain the most powerful forces in Europe even after the defeat, but once Prussia unified Germany, Europe's problems were complicated.

Yawning, Rhode escaped the cold war between the two on the excuse of being sleepy.

This time the Netherlands was beaten in disgrace, and the Prime Minister of the Netherlands resigned as a result. The new Prime Minister tried to restore good relations with the Chinese Empire, which is good news for him.

The Spanish envoys and the Portuguese envoys also had their own tricks. Now it turns out that if they continue to fight against the Eastern Empire, it is not beneficial. They have been cleaned up because of their arrogance, and now they dare not neglect the empire.

Like Rhodes, they left one after another.

Brooke and Henry quarreled for a while, feeling bored, and continued to observe the night scene of Qingzhou.

At the same time, he took out a small notebook and recorded all his experiences along the way. He was a messenger, and he was also a well-known poet in England.

Although they came to stop the war, he was still curious about this mysterious Eastern Empire.

...

The next day, the envoys got up very early, and today is the date of the negotiation, whether a breakthrough result can be achieved at this time.

On the top floor of the Weijia Restaurant in Qingzhou City, a large room has been prepared by the Foreign Affairs Office, and this negotiation will be held here.

emperor!

When the time arrived at nine o'clock, Xiao Ming took a special car and stopped in front of the Wei family restaurant.

Unlike before, the current Weijia Restaurant is no longer the wooden structure it used to be. Over the years, the Weijia Restaurant has been demolished and rebuilt, and now it is a 36-storey building.

Tang Wenjie and a group of diplomats were already waiting for the door. When Xiao Ming arrived, everyone greeted him.

Xiao Yi sat in the second car. At this time, he came to Xiao Ming and tried his best to make the image of a prince. His expression was a little serious. In this negotiation, he wanted to participate in the whole process to see the big world.

Has the foreign envoy arrived? Xiao Ming asked.

Not yet, the car has already picked them up, and it will be there in a while. Tang Wenjie bowed to Xiao Yi, turned and replied.

Xiao Ming nodded and walked in first. This time, in addition to Pang Yukun, he also brought Li Kaiyuan and other big businessmen with official status.

Not long after Xiao Ming entered, another convoy arrived, and Brooke and the European envoys arrived.

The moment they got off the bus, the reporters who were waiting in front of the hotel swarmed up and took pictures of them with their cameras.

Brook and the others were so frightened that they almost hid because the things they were holding would glow brightly, and they thought it was some kind of weapon.

Tang Wenjie couldn't help laughing, he stepped forward to explain to Brook and others, and Brook entered the hotel with the envoys who were still in shock.

And the reporters were discussing that the pictures that would be in the papers tomorrow must be hilarious.

Under the leadership of Tang Wenjie, everyone came to the conference room of the hotel.

This conference room is very large, with a long table in the middle, but the negotiation is not here, but a place for everyone to wait.

There is a door in the west of the conference room. This is the empire of negotiation. The messengers of various countries will enter here in order.

After the festivals were arranged, Tang Wenjie said to Brooke at this time, Which one of you will go in first?

Brooke stood up immediately, as if there was no doubt about it.

Tang Wenjie smiled helplessly. I'm afraid this is the natural arrogance of the British. I wonder if this Brooke can be so calm after the negotiation.

Leading Brooke into the conference room, Tang Wenjie sat beside Pang Yukun, while Brooke and the three British envoys sat opposite.

After clearing his throat, Xiao Ming said: Today, I want to talk to your five countries separately. If that's the case, it's straight to the point. Don't make any detours. How many pounds are you going to redeem for the defeated prisoners this time?

PS: There is one more chapter, it will be late.
