After hearing Pan Weibin's words, Jesse Mulan showed anger on his face. What's going on? The small Qing Dynasty actually began to provoke Geely. Do they think that if they defeated a squadron of Geely, they could really do it.
Will the land compete with Geely?
"Mr. Pan, I cannot agree with you. I have heard of this. There is no political reason in it. It is a completely commercial problem. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can file a lawsuit with the court of Geely.
.”
Pan Weibin criticized the other party's words, "I think you should know whether it is a political plot or not. We should not discuss it here. My purpose now is to hope that both sides can resolve this matter peacefully."
"Mr. Pan, I can't make the decision on this matter. I can only report your opinions to the London side."
Pan Weibin naturally knew that the first negotiation would not have any result, and both sides just showed their attitude to each other.
"Since that's the case, I won't bother you, but I hope you can answer me as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be delayed for a long time. If the relationship between the two parties breaks down due to this incident, it will be more than worth it."
After Pan Weibin finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Jesse Muran, and then left the living room without waiting for the other party to reply.
Jesse Mullan stood there with a gloomy face and did not go out to see him off.
Jesse Mullan sat in the living room for a while, then left the living room and came to the telegraph room, which was like informing London and the capital of the city of Beijing about this meeting with the Bangs.
After receiving a telegram from the Foreign Minister, Earl Ross Bailey, the Prime Minister of Geely, just looked at it and didn't take it seriously at all.
Because the Prime Minister knew in his heart that if Geely had not had too many places to guard against now, with the Nanyang Navy's maritime strength, it had one or two advanced warships, what could it do?
If the other party really makes him angry, as long as he mobilizes the Mediterranean fleet or local fleet and walks around the east, the other party's giant ships will eventually be bitten to death by many ants.
Therefore, Count Rossbailey just said in a simple manner, "Continue to negotiate with the other party, but you must grasp the principle. The dignity of Geely cannot be provoked."
After hearing the Prime Minister's words, the Foreign Minister felt sweating on his head. This sentence was not said the same. What should he do? He did not set a principle at all.
"Prime Minister, I think we should have a bottom line or principle, otherwise we can let the Eastern diplomats negotiate with the other party."
Earl Rossbailey looked at the other party impatiently, and then said: "Tell the nouveau riche in the East that Geely's policy is never allowed to change. Those two warships, as a responsible country, will definitely be in
Deliver it at the right time, so he should not worry."
After the Prime Minister said this, he drove the Foreign Minister out.
This was helpless for the Foreign Minister, so he could only send the Prime Minister's intentions to Beijing and Shanghai. Now he could only hope that his diplomat would not be as rude as the Prime Minister.
Three days later, Pan Weibin visited the Geely Consulate again.
Consul Jesse Mulan still met Pan Weibin in that small living room. This time the meeting between the two was not as harmonious as when they first met.
From the meeting between the two main leaders and sitting on the sofa, both of them looked very serious.
After sitting down, Pan Weibin spoke first: "Sir Consul, you must have understood the purpose of my visit this time. I don't know what your government will give us this time?"
Jesse Muran said with a serious face: "London has already responded to the matter about warships. Geely is a responsible country and will deliver two strategic ships at the right time."
Pan Weibin is not a fool either. When he heard the other party’s words, he knew that the other party was ruling. When was the right time? That means that it is not suitable now.
Pan Weibin thought of this and said in a bad tone: "I hope your government will not use such diplomatic rhetoric anymore. Everyone knows who is right and who is wrong about this matter. I hope your government can make peace in the Far East.
Make some contributions.”
Although Pan Weibin said it nicely, he has actually begun to threaten the Geely government. That means that if you do not agree to our request, we will not be able to guarantee peace in the British colonies in the Far East.
The reason why Pan Weibin dared to be so tough was that he had already received the tips from Liu Hai, and he understood the strength of his Nanyang Navy, so he dared to be so rude this time.
Jesse Muran felt anger when he heard the other party's threatening words. In the past few hundred years, when will the diplomats of Geely be threatened by the other party? These words have always been like others.
Said.
"Mr. Pan, I hope you pay attention to your words. Your words are very unfriendly and may cause unnecessary misunderstandings to you and me."
"Sir, I hope you can also pay attention. If you cannot deliver these two warships, it will be useless for us to say anything else."
Jesse Muran felt a little depressed when he saw that the other party had no intention of compromise. Could this sign of Geely Country be useless in the Far East?
However, this consul was a little discouraged after thinking about it. The Geely Navy in the Far East is really not as good as the Nanyang Navy. As long as the Nanyang Navy is really dispatched, the Geely's strength in the Far East will be severely damaged.
Therefore, the consul still didn't want to have a conflict with Bangs head-on, so he calmed down and said, "We don't need to be angry like this. Everyone can talk calmly and finally resolve this matter peacefully."
"Okay, Mr. Consul, I'll listen here, how do you want to solve this problem?"
Jesse Mullan is now in a dilemma. London is very tough this time and there is no room for foreigners to buffer diplomats.
"Do you think this is OK? We will build two new battleships at some point next year. As long as you complete the price difference, you can get updated battleships."
Pan Weibin almost laughed after hearing this. This was just delaying time. By next year, the Geely government may have other reasons to delay it.
"Sorry, sir, I cannot agree to your request. I hope your government can deliver the battleship immediately as agreed in the contract."
Jesse Mullan saw that the other party rejected his proposal and was so tough that he knew there was no need to continue the talk.
"Mr. Pan, Geely cannot agree to your request. I hope you can calmly think about the interests of both parties and not go to extremes."
Pan Weibin replied calmly: "I also hope Geely can think calmly, what position do you have in this matter?"
The two sides had a tit-for-tat conversation for more than an hour, but in the end they still failed to reach an agreement.
Pan Weibin knew that it would be meaningless to continue talking like this, so he said to Jesse Muran at the end: "Since that's the case, I will now officially notify you, according to the Governor of the Liangjiang River of the Qing Dynasty, the Minister of the Southeast Asian Republic, the Conqueror and Protector of Japan.
, Lord Liu Hai's order requires you to deliver two warships immediately, and ask the Geely Government to give us a reply within 72 hours, otherwise all consequences will be borne by the Geely Government."
After Pan Weibin finished speaking, he took out the formal diplomatic notes from the document bag next to him and handed them to British Consul Jesse Mourin.
Jesse Muran's face was gloomy and this diplomatic note was in a very bad mood, because this diplomatic note was almost an ultimatum from Bang to Geely.
After receiving the diplomatic note, Jesse Mourin answered calmly: "I have received your note. I will report to London immediately. At the same time, I hope that your side can think calmly, otherwise if there is a conflict,
Neither you nor me are good things.”
Pan Weibin did not answer the other party, but just bowed gently to the other party, and then left the Geely Consulate with his entourage.
After Pan Weibin left, Jesse Mulan immediately sent a telegram to the Beijing and London sides, and also informed both sides of Liu Hai's ultimatum.
Sir Dou Nale, the Minister of Geely to the Qing Dynasty, felt a headache after receiving a telegram from Shanghai.
Since Liu Hai, who was the stern head, took over Liangjiang, her strength has had a destructive impact on Geely's foreign policy in the Far East.
Now he didn't expect that this Qingtiaoqing would dare to give an ultimatum to Geely. I don't know who gave him the courage to challenge Geely's authority.
However, Sir Dou Nale is not an ordinary person. He is also very clear that Bang Hai does have the advantage of maritime strength in the Far East. If Geely wants to completely defeat Bang Hai, he must send a large number of fleets from the local and Mediterranean.
Even if the bangs are defeated, it will be more than worth the loss for Geely Country.
It would be even better if the bangs can be solved in a peaceful way.
So Sir Dou Nale immediately drove to Prince Gong Yixin's mansion.
Prince Gong Yixin was also in a state of great trouble during this period. Because a poor scholar Kang Wuwei actually submitted a memorial to Emperor Guangxu several times, and Emperor Guangxu also secretly met Kang Wuwei several times.
Judging from the news received by Prince Gong Yixin, Emperor Guangxu agreed with Kang Youwuwei's remarks.
However, judging from the news received by Prince Gong Yixin, Kang Wuwei was simply talking about war on paper. In the current Qing Dynasty, if the Empress Dowager Cialis nodded, nothing would have been possible.
Therefore, Prince Gong Yixin has been dealing with each other in the past few days between Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi, hoping to ease the conflict between the two sides.
As a result, he pressed the gourd and started to get up. The matter of Emperor Guangxu here has not been resolved yet, and the troubles of bangs there have been found on his head again.
