"Your Majesty, it is such a pleasure to see you fully recovered." At the welcome dinner held for Yang Feng at Buckingham Palace, Salisbury said to Yang Feng, holding a glass of wine.
"Thank you, Marquis. It's really scary when I think about that scene now, but fortunately I have a high-tech bulletproof vest, otherwise you would have paid your respects in front of my tombstone at this time." Yang Feng shrugged.
"Americans are paying the price for their stupidity now, aren't they?" Salisbury said with a smile.
"No, no, I think I must explain that China's war with the United States is entirely fulfilling its obligations as an ally and has nothing to do with my assassination. It was just an unfortunate criminal case. Although the American
The investigation process took a long time, but I personally have nothing to blame them for. To be honest, I feel very sorry that they have reached this point. It is said that our friend Edison's husband was involved in the attack on the coalition forces.
, and was shot by the Russian army? This is really terrible. If I were still there, I would definitely stop this thing." Emperor Yang said with a sad face.
Edison was not involved in the attack on the coalition forces and was killed. He was killed by the Russian army because he refused to pay a ransom of ten tons of gold. This guy is really too crazy to think about. What can be compared with his life?
What's more important? But he may and does not have that much money. In recent years, Edison Electric has been severely squeezed by the Texas branch of General Electric in the United States. Its business is very sluggish, and it is normal for it not to have so much liquidity.
, after all, even if he has money, most of it is in fixed assets and stocks.
Of course Emperor Yang did not know about this.
"This is indeed a terrible tragedy. According to the news I just received, the US military's counterattack on New York suffered a disastrous failure. General Merritt lost more than 20,000 people. Both sides once again used poison gas bombs on a large scale on the battlefield. At least one
Tens of thousands of American troops fell in front of this terrible weapon." Salisbury said calmly.
"Oh, really? How effective was it used by your army on the battlefield in South Africa? In fact, I still don't want countries to continue to use this kind of thing in wars in the future. Sometimes I really regret releasing mustard gas. If possible, I hope everyone can sit down
Come down and sign a convention banning the use of mustard gas, just like we ban the use of dum bombs." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"This is a very good proposal, but I'm afraid some people will be reluctant to part with such a good thing." Salisbury said.
"It depends on people! In order to make this world less painful, we should all make some efforts. When the war in the United States is over, I will propose this initiative. Maybe both Germany and Russia will be interested." Yang Feng said.
"When does your Majesty think America's war will end?" Salisbury said.
"This depends on the attitude of the Americans. In fact, in my opinion, they should admit defeat now. I really don't know what President Arison is insisting on. What's the big deal in admitting defeat? It's just to cut some territory and pay some compensation.
"That's it, the United States is so big, how small was it when they first invaded? There were only thirteen states, but now there are more than fifty states. Even if they lose half of it, they are still the number one power in America." Yang Feng said.
While the two were talking, Old Lady Victoria came. Because the Fat Queen was in poor health, this dinner was hosted by her son, Crown Prince Edward. Anyway, Yang Feng was not an outsider to them. This year, the Fat Queen
Most of the time, I rely on the medicines from JY Medical Center. At this time, I can just show up.
"Your Majesty, welcome to the UK!" the old lady said to Yang Feng with a smile.
"Your Majesty, seeing that you are still in good health, my trip was worthwhile. In addition, I also prepared a small gift for you. But strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as for you." Yang Feng gestured to Yuan Shikai as he spoke.
After a while, the big-headed brother hurriedly went out. Amidst the curious eyes, he and a guard carried a heavy large frame to Queen Victoria.
"This is?" Old Mrs. Victoria looked at a manuscript in the large frame in confusion.
"The original declaration of the United States of America!" Yang Feng said with a smile, and the surrounding people immediately burst into exclamation. Salisbury and Chamberlain came over at the same time, looking at this thing in shock. They naturally understood that Yang Feng would not
It’s a lie. You naturally understand where this thing came from. In the United States, the White House and the Congress Building were all bombed by the Germans. The entire Washington was almost burned to ashes by fire. Even the British Embassy was almost affected. This thing appeared in
Yang Feng's hands are very normal, but what is he doing for the queen?
"I accidentally found this from a German soldier. You also know that they have been to Washington. These soldiers will inevitably bring some souvenirs, but I think this kind of thing that has important historical significance to the American people is not
It should be exiled abroad, so I bought it from the soldier and prepared to return it to the American people.
But you also know that China and the United States are still at war, and as the Emperor of China, I am not suitable to do such a thing, so I hope that your Majesty can help me return it to the American Minister." Yang Feng said seriously.
The British people around were dumbfounded. One of the nobles couldn't hold it back for a moment and burst out laughing. With him taking the lead, the distinguished guests attending the dinner also couldn't help but laugh. Amidst the laughter, Emperor Yang
I laughed after thinking about it.
"Your Majesty, I am honored to accept your commission." Queen Victoria said with a smile.
This is not returned to the Americans, Yang Feng asked her to slap the Americans in the face, and the Americans have to express their gratitude for this. If the traitors of the British Empire who signed the Declaration of Independence knew that this symbol of the United States would be free from
When the Queen of England returns the national treasures enslaved by the British royal family to their descendants in the form of charity, they will probably be so angry that they vomit blood. What does this mean? What can you do if you are enslaved and free? In the end, it is not the case.
You have to rely on charity from the British Empire to survive.
With this episode, the atmosphere at the dinner immediately became lively. Victoria showed up for a while, but went back to rest because her body could not bear it. Her son, Crown Prince Edward, had a close friendship with Yang Feng, but his two sons had a close relationship with Yang Feng.
They were all considered to be friends. The dinner was over soon. An emperor, two princes, Rothschild and other nobles who were closely related to Yang Feng, including Salisbury, all came to Victor's small villa together.
"Your Excellency, Baron, how is the progress of our canal? I originally wanted to go and have a look this time, but I was in a hurry and forgot." Yang Feng said to Rothschild.
"It's going well. According to the current progress, we will probably see it open to navigation before 1905. Your Majesty, I have to say that your construction machinery is too efficient, and the construction period will be reduced by at least half."
Rothschild said.
"I heard that many workers still died. Didn't I provide enough medicine?" Yang Feng said doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, it is normal for people to die in such a project. Even if there are enough medicines, it is impossible to guarantee that no one will die. It is just that the number of dead people has decreased. According to normal estimates, as long as the number of people does not exceed 5,000, it is within the normal range. We
According to the current situation of the canal, a thousand people will die by the time it is completed." Rothschild said nonchalantly. Of course, the thousand people he mentioned were real employees, such as Panamanians recruited from the local area.
included in this number.
"Then I'm relieved." Yang Feng nodded and said that the time in 1905 was just right. It happened to be completed and it was almost time to start fighting. In fact, based on the current situation, he was worried that other countries would not be able to wait that long. South Africa
The war has already divided Britain and Germany.
"Your Majesty, the price of oil has risen again recently. As Prime Minister, I need to consider not only the interests of oil companies. If the coalition forces continue to block U.S. shipping, it will have a serious impact on the economies of all countries." At this time, Solz said.
Bury came over and said, this is no longer a diplomatic occasion, they are all a bunch of old foxes who know the ins and outs, so naturally there is no need to hide it, they can just show off their cards if something happens.
The British no longer want to watch the war in the United States continue. What they are afraid of is that if Germany, Russia, Spain, and China really carve up the United States, it will touch the British bottom line. Judging from the current situation, this danger is not without, and the United Kingdom is now in the
When you have no time to get away.
"Our price has been made. As long as the Americans agree, the war will end immediately. The Chinese must get an autonomous area in San Francisco, which does not undermine the sovereignty of the United States. The Russians must get Alaska. Everyone understands that the United States has changed from the original
What a bargain they made from the deal, and now it’s time to give up the benefits. The Spaniards must also return to Florida, and the amount of compensation can be negotiated.
As for the other items, I think they are also good for the UK. The development of the US naval power is not good for anyone, including the UK. I think disarming this country is what you are looking forward to. As for the German tariff issue, everyone
, don’t you think this is the biggest obstacle for all our countries to enter this market? The Germans ask for a half tariff reduction, and the UK can also ask for it!” Yang Feng said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, Salisbury also laughed.
"As for the problem of rising oil prices, this is better solved by developing a few more oil fields. The world is so big, are there only those oil fields we know now?" Yang Feng then dropped another bombshell.
"Your Majesty, do you have new oil fields?" Baron Rothschild's eyes suddenly widened.
"Of course, not only is there, but it is on the land of the British Empire." Yang Feng said with a smile. (To be continued...)
