Iron Dynasty

This seems to be your French internal affairs, and the Empire is not interested in your problems.

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

Henry said bluntly, Maybe Your Majesty doesn't know the current situation in Europe. Queen Victoria of England will soon have a Prussian husband. With all due respect, the Prussia that Your Majesty chose seems to be on two boats.

Xiao Ming took a sip of his tea. Prussia still flirted with Britain when they received a lot of aid from the empire, which really made him uncomfortable.

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

What's more, Prussia has always been a very ambitious country. If this country is strong, it will 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 diminished, and it may become bigger in Europe after the reunification of Germany, which made him intolerable.

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

Since Prussia can take two boats, he can also give France half of the apples given to Prussia.

Then how can I be sure that you can defeat Andre and become a consul? Xiao Ming asked.

No, I want to become the Emperor of France like your Majesty. Henry's brown eyes dilated with excitement.

After a pause, he continued: Many young officers in the army are already dissatisfied with Andre, and I have obtained their support, but Andre's power is still very strong, and we may not be able to succeed, because whether it is in We are at a disadvantage in terms of funds and equipment.”

Emperor of France?

Xiao Ming laughed lightly. The last time Henry came, he could see his dissatisfaction with the envoy empire in Henry's eyes.

Thinking of this, this Henry had been dissatisfied with Andre for a long time, but kept repressing it in his heart.

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

If we confirm that you have this ability, we will consider it, but I can't promise you right now. Xiao Ming couldn't throw money at Henry's family's words.

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

During this negotiation, the agreement between the two sides also included a treaty for the exchange of ambassadors. After pondering for a while, he said: The envoy sent by the empire to France will inspect you, and if it is true, you will get help.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Henry's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he thanked him again before leaving.

Xiao Ming glanced at his watch at this time, and found that he had brought everyone out of the conference room at noon to entertain the envoys for lunch in the Wei family restaurant.

Since this negotiation has officially entered into force, the two sides are in a state of peace on the surface, 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. He would not participate in this kind of eating and drinking.

Back in the imperial study, he officially gave Lei Ming an order to release the prisoners of war still in India once the ransom was received.

Then he gave orders to the Minerals Division to prepare to go to South America and Africa to search for minerals, which were all covered by the treaty.

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

He did this too, and if the empire was in trouble in the future, these resources would be a life-saving straw.

At the same time, the foreign envoys in the Wei family restaurant simply ate and asked Pang Yukun to take them to visit Qingzhou City.

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

Pang Yukun asked Xiao Ming for instructions, and after getting a positive answer, he and the envoys took to the streets of Qingzhou.

Briefly explain what the envoys do 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 see that the impact on the empire is minimal.

Moreover, what they want to establish is a global governance system. The best way to take the difficult-to-occupy and difficult-to-rule areas of Europe and the Middle East is to make them fear the empire from the heart, which is convenient for the empire to stand on the top of the world.

In one afternoon, the envoys first went to the commercial street. After seeing a dazzling array of commodities, they went to the industrial area in the suburbs.

The electric machinery in the factory made them exclaim, and they really realized how far they were from the Empire.

While we were complacent about improving the steam engine, this eastern empire has used electricity to propel industry to another peak.

When night fell and everyone returned to the guest house, Brook wrote this sentence in his diary.

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

The only pity he has now is that after the negotiation is over, they have to return immediately, and they can't continue to stay in Qingzhou.

However, after this agreement takes effect, the relationship between the United Kingdom and the Eastern Empire will be normalized. At that time, maybe he will be able to come here again.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the lobbying of the Ottomans, although they were forced to make concessions in order to compromise.

But they will not pass up any chance to cause trouble for the Chinese Empire.

They can no longer play in person, but they can still incite other countries to contain the empire. They have already conveyed the news of the cooperation between the empire and Persia to the Ottoman sultan.

This made the Ottoman Sultan very angry, and he has always been extremely vigilant about the Persian feud, the Ottomans.

Now that the Empire is helping Persia build a firearms production line, this is bound to make the Ottomans jump, and it is.

After learning this news, the Ottoman Emperor vowed to stop the cooperation between Persia and the Eastern Empire, he believed that a battlefield was coming soon.

In addition to the Ottomans, they are still supporting Tsarist Russia, and these two countries are like two hands that are restraining the westward advance of the Eastern Empire.

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

But what he came to realize most this time is that he has to vigorously develop technology. If this point continues to be left behind, no matter how many conspiracies are in front of the powerful Eastern Empire, it will be a cloud.

Thinking of this, Brooke sighed.

After staying in Qingzhou for three more days, the envoys were informed that they could leave, and they went back with the ambassadors sent by the empire.

They would represent the interests of the Empire in various European countries.
